THE OLD, OLD STORY AGAIN Glenwood Girl Arrested at Council Bluffs to Prevent Her Downward Career. A PICTURE OF EVERY DAY VISIBILITY Another Lesson to Young Girls Who Tire of the Comforts of Home Life. The following is clipped from the Council Bluffs department of the Om aha World-Herald: "Laura Byers, a young woman whose father and mother are said to reside in Glenwood, was arrested at an early hour Tuesday morning in apartments where she has been living, on West Broadway. Another white girl, giving the name of Minnie Wheeler, was also placed , under arrest, together with Leonard J. Bartlett, a negro. All are charged with lewdness. "The arrest of the Byers girl was made in response to letters from rela tives asking if something could not be done to prevent her from continuing the life she was leading. Investiga tions by the police showed that the girl was living with a negro in the same apartments withthe Wheeler wo man and Bartlett, and the arrest of the three followed." The above contains enough for a a wholesome lecture to all young girls who become restless with their situa tion in life and long for a more excit ing one, which generally results the same as this one has resulted. Here is a young woman whose home is in Glenwood, la., where the name of her family Is a household word and one of the most respectable in Mills county. With a' loving father" and mother, who furnished her with all the comforts that any ordinary child could possibly wish, she becomes dissatisfied with her lot and tiees from her home from that parental roof under which she first drew the breath of life where she was tenderly reared to womanhood, receiving the care of those loving hearts she would thus tear from their very breasts. Could young girls who thus tire of home life but realize the full meaning of the step they are tak ing, and the disastrous results that al ways follow, there would be a sudden halt caused: could they fully contem plate the full meaning of fleeinu from home and loving father and mother, they would not take such a step. There is no girl that can find just cause for such an act. They should know that when they leave their own hearthstone and commence a life in the large cities, they are constantly thrown into the society of all classes of people, and if she presents even a fair appearance and is known to be alone, her downfall is eagerly sought and soon accom plished. Column after column could be writ ten on this subject, but It is the desire of the Journal to pen a few thoughts only in the liope that they may prevent some other girls who contemplate "taking a leap in the dark" from doing so. Whenever they begin to think of doing so, let them remember that "Let It lie evor so linnihU1 'lliiTe's no plain; like liooie." You may not have everything you waut, but if you are blessed with lov ing parents who are ever ready and willing to provide you with everything in their power, respect them with the return of such a love as to make your home not only a blessing to them, but also a blessing to yourself. Only look around you and notice how many other girls who are not nearly so comforta bly fixed as you are, but who are happy in the thought that they have a father and mother with them. We hope that ail young girls will peruse these lines and apply them for just what they are worth, and serious ly contemplate how many fathers and mothers are now filling graves occa sioned from broken hearts because of the acts of wayward daughters. And If this article should cause the salvation of even one young girl, cauce her to re trace the steps she has taken, or pre vent one from pursuing such a life, its mission has served a good purpose. Return From Kansas City. C. E. Cook and Walt Vallcry re turned from Kansas City Tuesday, where they have been for nearly three weeks receiving treatment from Dr. Minor, the celebrated specialist. They are both feeling like "lighting cocks," and agree that Dr. Minor Is one of the most wonderful healers In the country. They both carry a certificate from him stating that they are entirely cured of their ailment. There arc about one thousand patients at this hospital. Pirating Foley's Honey and Tar. Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit and popularity of Foley.'s Honey and Tar many Imitations are offered for the genuine. These worthless Im itations have similar sounding names. Beware of them. The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar Is In a yellow package. Ask for It and refuse any substitute. It Is the best remedy for coughs and ' colds' F. G. Frlcke A- CJ Will Change. An Auburn dispatch sayi: For years there has been talk In railway circles of moving t lie freight division from this place to Falls City. At last it has been arranged that the Auburn Omaha Missouri Pacific train leaving here at 0 a.m. and returning at 7 p. m., will be run to Falls City where it will make headquarters, laying over Sunday in that place. The train is known aliover Nebraska as the "Daisy Dean" train, W. B. Dean, the engi neer, having acquired considerable fame som years ago on this run by opening up the engine and running through a mob who were trying to bold up the trr'n near South Omaha. The train running between Atchison and Hiawatha will also be run to Falls City. No schedule as to the time or connections these trains will make has been made public. BIG BRIDGE IH DANGER Missouri River Seeking I New Channel at Rulo, Neb. A special from Rulo, Neb., says: "About $."OO,00O worth of government riprap work is about to go Into the river about one and one-half miles northeast of town. This work was done but a short time ago and the railroad company is keeping their eyes upon it steadily. The land Is being washed away rapidly and is ncarlng the K. C. track. J ust a few more feet and $500,000 worth of government rip rap work will be useless, the railroad company will be compelled to lay four miles of new track, and the Missouri river will break through into the big lake and change Its course enough t make the million dollar bridge which crosses here stand over a lake and the company will be compelled to cither build a new bridge or move this one where the river chooses to (low. The company is . doing all that is possible to save things as they are. "The railroad company is spending $100,000 In riprapplng the river east of town. They have a force of men at work under the general supervision of Mr. Scott, a well qualified railroad man who is well acquainted with the Missouri's ways." New Bank for Manley. Jno. A. Donelan Informs us that within sixty days he expects to have a bank opened in Manley, Neb., that the contract for the building has been let, and the site will be on the corner just west of Theo. Harms, store. The capitalization of the new Institution is $."),0C0 and the ollicers as follows: J. A. Donelan, president; C. W. Bish, vice president; W. Bish, cashier. The latter gentleman Is a brother of C. W. Bish. Manley is a good point, there is lots of grain marke'ted there, farmers are well olf and raise lots of stock, and we predict for the new Institution suc cess from the start. Weeping Water Herald.

A special from St. Louis under date of yesterday gives the following par ticulars of the wreck of the fast mail on the Missouri Pacific yesterday morn ing: "A Missouri Pacific fast mail train, that left at 3 o'clock this morning for Kansas City, was wrecked on a bridge near Gasconade, Mo., about 5 o'clock. The train and bridge were both de stroyed, and five men were injured. "Gasconade was the scene of the his toric wreck of fifty years ago In which 200 lives were lost. "The train caught fire. Two mall cars left the track, one partially. Much mail also Is said to have been burned. Two other mail cars were thrown from a high embankment at the bridge ap proach t6 trie ground, forty feet below. The train carried no passengers. "The schedule requires a high rate of speed and it is said the train was running close to sixty miles per hour when the engine struck a defect in the track and jumped the rails. "Traveling Engineer E. C. Clifford was riding in the engine with Engin eer W. P. Marvin and Fireman Frank Martin. Two of Martin's ribs were broken. He probably was the most seriously Injured. "Conductor J. O. Burch, In one of the mall cars, was bruised, as was Brakeman S. P. Montague. The mall clerks Insisted they were only scratch ed and worked in an attempt to save the mall from the burning cars. It Is said little was saved." Why suffer with your kidneys?

' tiering StVo.- THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR Shall We Organize I Joint Stock Company to Explore for Coil? MR. THOMAS FAVORS THE MOVE Says He Will Lease the Land to a Home Company, hut no Outsiders Need Apply. Since the testing of the quality of coal discovered on the farm of J. W. Thomas, south of town, the question of exploring more extensively has been a subject of much concern to many of our citizens, especially those who are directly interested In the welfare of Plattsmouth, and the going down deeper Into the bowels of Mother Earth, Is much talked of. Mr. Thomas was a caller at the Journal oilice Tuesday, and In an Interview with him he told our re porter that he would willingly lease the land to a company formed here at home for the purposo of exploring further the grounds upon which the discovery was made. Mr. Thomas does not feel able to bear the expense of doing so himself but will do his part in connection with a company organized for that purpose. The Journal Is also informert that Mr. Coates is ready and willing to take stock in such a proposition, and we believe there are numerous others who will "show their hands" If it is deemed wise to do further prospecting on Mr. Thomas' place. The Journal can sec no reason why our citizens cannot invest a few dol lars on the venture, anyway. Let us organize a company to start with, say of fifty, and let each one of these fifty pay Into the treasury of such company ten dollars each, and by the time this sum ($f00) Is expended there will be something crop out for good or bad, and if not for the best the propo sition can be abandoned. This will not cost any one person very much and then we will have the satisfaction of knowing whether or not what we are after Is there. Mr. Thomas can lease his land to persons outside of town, but he says if there Is anything there worth going after lie wants his own town people to have the benefit of what there is in it. Received Bids, The county clerk lias received bids from the following on the county bridge work for the ensuing year: Inter-State Bridge Company, Council BlulTs;John Gillian, Falls CityjThomp son iS; lleacock, Springfield; Bed Oak Bridge and Iron Works, Omaha; Sheely Bridge Company, Lincoln; Wm.

The County Teachers' association, which met at Louisville Saturday, was exceedingly well attended, and a very interesting program was heard by those present. Prof. F.. L. Bouse had a very In structive paper on "The teacher of the Immediate future under the new law," following the reading of which, an active discussion of the new law was participated In by all. Miss Can aday gave an extremely Interesting ad dress on the subject, "Grammar-How shall we teach It?" Mr. Dimmick, the principal of the Avoca schools, gave "Some Sugges tions In Teaching Arithmetic," which was well received, and was followed by a paper on "Should Bookkeeping be Taught in the Public Schools?" read by M iss Alice Sherman. County Superintendent Gamble closed the meeting with an address on "The Certification of Teachers Under the New Law." Thirty-first Anniversary. On February 11 the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Trltsch was the scene of a very pleasant affair, the brothers, sisters and friends of Mrs. Trltsch coming to help her celebrate her 31st anniversary. All the guests enjoyed a sumptuous birthday dinner, and spent the rest of the day In social conversation until the late hours of the evening called them to their different homes. At their departure the guests expressed themselves as having enjoyed the day, and wished Mrs. Trltsch many happy returns of the day. Those who enjoyed the pleasant af fair were: Mr. and Mrs. J. P.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MILLER Former Plattsmouth Lady Whose Death Occurred In Lincoln Burled Here This Morning. The luneral of Mrs. David Miller occurred at 11 o'clock Wednesday from the residence of F. A. Murphy, on Chicago avenue. The remains were brought from Lincoln by the relatives, being met by a number of sorrowing friends at the depot. The services were conducted by Bev.

All the near relatives were at her deatlilwd and funeral, except the two sisters In the far west, and many other friends from a distance were present at the last sad rites. oiirn'AHY. Martha Young Mitchell was the daughter of Thomas Mitchell, a pio neer resident of Plattsmouth who dlpd about six years ago. She was born in Ohio August 8, 11, and came to Plattsmouth In May, IN.", where, with brothers and sisters she grew to womanhood, and where most of her life had been spent. I'pori the death of her mother in 1U she became her father's housekeeper, acting as such until 1S07 when she was married to Wm W. Irish. From this marriage two children were born and survive their mother Mrs. liird Eigcnbroadt of Lincoln, and Frank W. Irish of Alliance. After several years of widowhood, Mrs. Irish was married in April, is::), to David Miller, and to them were born three children, only one of whom, Thomas E., Is living. Mr. and Mrs. Miller lived In Platts mouth until about five years ago, when, for Mr. Miller's health, they removed to Deadwood where they resided until Mrs. Miller's Inst llinesscame upon her early last fall. Then Mr. Miller brought her to Lin coln for the benefit of superior medical aid, but her malady developed into the deadly form beyond human skill to remedy, and It soon was made known that nothing remained but to ease the physical suffering as much as possible and await the fast approach ing end. During her conscious mo ments, as her life ebbed, deceased an ticipated death with a calm fortitude born of true Christian faith, and when the death angel arrived, at 8 a. m. Monday, February 12th, It was a will ing spirit which took its flight into the Great Unknown. Deceased leaves, besides her hus band, two sons, Frank W. Irish, of Alliance, and Thomas E. Miller, of Pueblo; one daughter, Mrs. Eigcn broadt, of Lincoln; two sisters and two brothers, namely: Mrs. Carter, of Salt Lake City; Mrs. M. B. Murphy, or Long Beach, Cal.; James Mitchell, of Omaha, and Bev. George Mitchell, of the Congregational church atClarks, Neb., besides numerous othcrrclatlves -nieces and nephews, with whom "Aunt Mitt" was a great favorite, and to whom her coming had always been a source of pleasure. Mrs. Miller had been an earnest Presbyterian since early womanhood, and her religion was of that broad kind which finds expression In charity of word and deed, and In doing good without ostentation. Her Joys were shared happily, her sorrows borne in silent grief, and by her friendly, sympa thctlc presence many a mental an gulsh has been assuaged. Mrs. Miller's demise will be mourned by hosts of friends In Plattsmouth, many of whom had known her since her girlhood, and all of whom extend their sympathy to and share the grief of the sorrowing relations In their loss of a truo wife, mother and slstcr-and a true woman and friend.

DIED IN COUNCIL BLUFFS Mrs. Emma Schroeder Died of Dropsy on Sunday Night, February II, 1906. Deceased Was an Old Resident of Cass County, Where She Lined Many Years. The following appears In the Coun cil Bluffs department of tln Onmlm World-Herald of Tnisinv ... - ...w n . "M rs. Emma Schroeder, wife of Fred brooder, died Sunday night at her home, .11 North Main street, after an illness of live years, from dropsy. Her husband and one son, Henry, survive nr." The deceased was the mother of Henry Schluntz of this city, and the remains will arrive here on tho 4:40 train Tuesday afternoon. They will t,e conveyed to tho home of Mr. Schluntz here they will remain until one 'clock tomorrow when tho funeral rvlces will bo conducted from St. 'aul's Lutheran church. Mrs. Schroeder had been married wlce, her first husband being the father of Henry. For many years the family resided In Bock ItlulVs. where the latter was born. From Book Bluffs the family removed to Cedar Creek, and thence to Ashland, where Mr. Schluntz. died, and where she married the surviving husband and they moved to Council ItlutTs. Mrs. Schroeder came to Cass county Ith her parents when she was a small girl, and spent the greatest por tion of her life here. She was well nown to many of the older residents of tho vicinity of Plattsmouth and Bock Bluffs, and also in the vicinity of Cedar Creek. She was a most ex cellent lady, a kind mother and most loving companion, and her death Is deeply felt by all who knew her. All of whom extend their most heartfelt sympathy to the husband, son and two adopted daughters, who survive her. The Body Sent to Indiana. A special from A ut urn says: "The body of Henry C.Hall, tho Missouri Duel lie brakeman, who was killed by the train at Louisville, Neb., Satur day, was yesterday taken to Cheru busco, Indiana, for Interment, accom panied by Mrs. Hall and little son, who will not return. Walter Long, as a representative of the fraternal order f trainmen, also accompanied the body." A Proper Suggestion. The citizens of Plattsmouth could do nothing more appropriate than to have the remains of Fred Mlcklewait, the first white child born In that town and in Cass county, and for that mat ter, in the state, brought to his birth place and buried by the sido of his sire, who wasl'lattsmouth's first mayor. Surely the widow would esteem it a great honor to see such a mark of re spect shown her late husband. Let the business men and citizens of the county scat take hold of a sacred duty and it Is properly a duty and have the remains of her first born rest in its birthplace.

He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must bs kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis take made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. 1$e best time to reme dy wasting conditions in the human body is be fore the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evi dence of loss of flesh Scott's Emulsion should be taken imme diately. There is noth ing that will repair wasted tissue more quickly or replace lost flesh more abundantly than Scott's Emulsion. It nourishes and builds up the body when ordi nary foods absolutely fail.

The following special from Wahoo, Neb., under date of Monday, February 12, gives an account of a disastrous lire which occurred in that city early on that morning. It will be seen that Dr. Todd, formerly of this city, was unfortunate In having everything In his dental office destroyed: "Farly this morning tire broke out In thcO. V. S tee 11 building adjoin Inir the Kllllan block and occupied liolow by Kllllan llrcs'. company with cloth ing and furnishings. Tho different re companies wero on the ground promptly, but a breakdown of some nd at the engine house caused nearly one-half hour delay In getting sulll- lent water, the fire In the meantime gaining great headway. The lire orlg- ated In the second story, but It Is not known how. The damage to the illding is probably I,,r.no and Is In sured for l,imil.
