Reads Like a Romance.
The following appeared in the Lin
coln Journal of this morning as
special from Louisville: "Years ago
there lived In the vicinity of Louis
ville a man by the name of Ad Ingram,
and he like many others, had con
tracted debts that lie was unable to
or would not pay. Eighteen years
ago he left Louisville and his creditors
were left to hold the sack. The other
morning E. C. Twiss and S. 15. Mc
Lean received letters containing $75
and $10, respectively, from him. He
stated he had been saved from sin and
wanted to pay every cent he owed on
earth. The money was readily ac
cepted. Mr. Ingram lives at Bloom
tield, this state."
Want Him Released.
A special from Louisville to the Lin-1
coin Journal says: "Arthur Palmer,
who has been at Lincoln attending
Wesleyan university this winter, has
enlisted in the navy to do service on
the battleship Nebraska. The parents
arc grief-stricken to learn that their
son had left without at least consult
ing them. He was but eighteen years
of age and the father will make an
effort to have the boy released from
service. Mr. Palmer had made pre
paration to keep his son In school for
four years and then send him abroad
to finish his education."
John Gordcr has disposed of his im
plement'business In Louisville to his
brother Fred, of Weeping Water. John
is now in this city for the present, but
what business he expects to engage in,
we have not learned.

LOUISVILLE BRIDGE MATTER
Tiie Commissioners cf Sarpy and Cass
Counties Met Here Today.
IMPOSITION SUBMITTED TO SARPY
And the Commissioners From Little County
Have Matter Under Advisement
Until March 7.
According to the date fixed upon,
the county commissioners of Sarpy
county met the commissioners of our
own county here today to Jointly take
some action regarding the bridge
across the Platte river at . Louisville
which connects the two counties at
that point. The bridge has been in
bad shape since portions of it. went
out with the breaking up of the ice
nearly one year ago, and the citizens
of Louisville have been using their
every effort to get the authorities of
the two counties to put In passable
shape ever since, and this Is the first
time a Joint meeting of the county
commissioners have succeeded In get
ting together to talk the matter over
and take some definite action about
a matter that should have received
their attention months past.
While no definite action was taken
today a proposition was submitted by
the county commissioners of Cass to
the county commissioners of Sarpy
which the authorities of both counties
do not desire to make public at the
present time. Thecommlssloners from
Sarpy county, before they accept or
decline the very liberal proposition,
deem It proper to submit the cause to
their county attorney, and will report
the result of their advisement on
Wednesday, Marcli 7th. It Is the
general opinion of those who were
present at the conference that the
proposition will be accepted.
Louisville was represented at this
meeting by a committee appointed for
that purpose, in the persons of James
Stander, Herman E. Fankonin and
Charles Henings. The names of the
commissioners from Sarpy county arc
Anthony lllanchia, Chalco; Ische, of
LaPlatte, and Neilson. of Springfield
The committee from Louisville de
parted for their homes this afternoon
feeling very confident that the propo.
sltion submitted to the Sarpy county
commissioners would be accepted and
that a good bridge would soon span
the Platte at that place.
MISSOURI GUTTING BANKS
Threatens to Leave Nebraska City Three
Miles Inland.
A special to the Omaha llee, under
dale of yesterday says: "l!eports from
up the Missouri river about eight
miles are causing much alarm here
They are to the effect that the river
is cutting through Its banks and un
less something is done this city will be
an inland town, the $700,000 Iluiling
ton bridge at this place will Lehigh
and dry and the company will have to
build another bridge east of the pres
ent one about three miles.
"Opposite what is known as Jones'
Point the river has been cutting for
sometime. A report from thereto
day says It has cut In three-quarters
of a mile and a large amount of land
has been washed away. If It contin
ues it will soon cut Into what Is known
as White's lake and the channel will
be somewhere near the Iowa blulTs,
Instead of the Nebraska bluffs, as
now."
Birthlngton's Wash Day.
Today is the anniversary of the
"Fatherof OurCountry,"and In honor
of the event everything of legal nature

Company Dissolved.
The follow ing Is aspcclal from Louis
ville: "The company that was organi
zed here last fall to prospect for coal,
gas or Iron has dissolved partnership.
A large quantity of slate and green
dirt was found and the indications for
coal were good but the workers dis
covered a large quantity of Iron ore
and were so elated that the coal pro
position wa9 abandoned. Samples of
the iron ore were sent to an assaycr of
Lincoln and pronounced (14 per cent
iron; then a large quantity was sent to
the Pueblo, Colo., Rmclter but the
answer from this was that the quality
wa9 not as desired and the mining

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.!
... i
ne rising et Mrs. wiuism J. Laughiiii
at Ashland, Neb.
The account of the roa nt death of
Mrs. William J. Laughlin, appeared In
the last Issue of the Ashland (iaette.
We give the same a pla.n In the Jour
nal because the family are great
friends of this paper, and als.i la'cause
she was one of the pioneer women of
Case county, and a most highly esteem
ed lady, loved by all who knew her:
The home of another of our early
pioneers lias been Invaded by death.
Aunt Polly Laughlln, the wife of one
of our best known and most highly
respected retired farmers passed from
this life at her home in tills city, Wed
nesday evening, after a short Illness
with pneumonia.
Mary Coleman was born In Knox
county, Ohio, Nov. 1(1, 18X1. She was
one of eleven children, and was a
daughter of Kile and Catherine Cole
man, of old line American stock, her
father having been born In Connecti
cut and her mother, (whose maiden
name was Heller,) was bom In Mary
land. The family lived in Ohio, until
Mary was 17 years of age, when they
removed to Henry county, Iowa, set
tling near Mt. Pleasant.
"The deceased was married to Wil
liam J. Laughlln, December K, ls;,;i.
'In the fall of ls.VJ, she came with
her husband and settled on a farm of
100 acres near tireen wood, where she
continued to reside till the fall of l'.ioi,
when the family became residents of
Ashland, occupying the line cottage
which they had built for their home
In their declining years, situated on
Eighth street.
"lloth of Mrs. Laughlln's parents
were dependents of colonial settlers
who took an active part in the stirring
events which gave to America her
liberty.
"Mrs. Latighlin was the mother of
seven children, namely, Oscar V.,
Mary Catherine, afterwards Mrs. John
Looinis and Kbenezer !., who wen?
born in Iowa, and John C, Lucy
Matilda, llcnjamin Franklin, and
Nellie A., now Mrs. William Latighlin
who were born in Nebraska. Of these,
three are living and four preceded
their mother to the world of spirits,
the living children being, Oscar,
Kbeiiezcr aad Mrs. William Latighlin,
who are living In this vicinity. Lucy
Matilda died when quite young and
Benjamin Franklin just in the prime
of a young manhood. Mrs. Looinis is
also dead. Deceased had hi grand
children living and h dead iinil also 1
living great grand child.
"Mrs. Laughlln was a great favorite
wherever she was known and her ac
quaintances extended nearly all over
Cass county and far Into Saunders
and Lancaster counties. Sh.i was
loved and respected for her many noble
qualities of mind and heart. She was
a lady of education and Intelligence.
She received her education in the
common schools in Hiio and the High
school of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, of which
she was a graduat'. Following her
graduation at Mt. Pleasant, she was a
teacher in the public schools in Henry
county for the sucerding three years.
After her removal to Cass count y, she
still followed the vocation of teacher,
and was the lirst teacher in the west
ern portion of the county, her school
being conducted in her own home.
"Mrs. Laughlin was a Christian lady
and In her fidelity to the teachings
and spirit of tlte Master lay the great
strength of her character. She was
converted at New London, Iowa, in
ls."iT, and united with the ch;;rcli of
her choice the Disciples of Christ
and remained a faithful exemplar of
the principles of the Christian faith to
the day of her death.
"The funeral was held from her late
home Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Rev. A. W. Henry, a former pastor of
the deceased, conducted the services
assisted by Elders Huyck and Cresmcr
of the Church of Christ."
