EPIDEMIC AT PAC. JUNCTION
Peculiar Disease in Family of Which Sev

a peculiar sickness now existing in the

that town, and which has already re
suited in the death of one child. In
enpn tint of the epidemic, the Glen-
wood Tribune says:
"Dr. C. W. Lyon tells us that it is
epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis
and is something entirely new in tms
locality. Several doctors were called
to the Evaus home and the rumor had
spread about that the character of the
disease was not known.
"Dr. Lyon was not called till after
the death of the little boy, Harold,
azed 3. which occurred yesterday.
"The "little fellow was sick less than
adav'stime. An older sister, Grace,
aired 14. has been sick for several days
"Another child, a boy about 10 years
old, has just been taken sick and is
very low. In fact, as we go to press
this afternoon, it is feared that neith
er of the children can lrve.
"Dr. Lyon tells us that while the
malady which is popularly known as
"spotted fever" is epidemic in form,
it is not necessarily contagious."
It Is Bad Taste.
Several newspapers have from time
to time deplored the bad taste that
prompts young people to follow newly
married couples to the train and ad
vertise them in a way that is to say
the least embarrassing. The rice
throwing and old shoe business has
gone into disuse in refined communi
ties. The Ladies' Home Journal has
taken the matter up, and says that
rice-throwing should be abolished by
law if in no other way. It is a fact,
observes the Fremont Herald, that
travelers on through trains can size up
a town as a bum community where a
newly married couple gets onto the
train amid a shower of rice and other
things which show all disregard for
taste and refinement. We are out
growing many of the relics of barbar
ism, and things which seemed funny
in the long ago when there was no
classification of society and a general
acquaintance prevailed, is out of place
now that we are to a greater extent
strangers Beatrice Sun.

Plattsmouth . Property as Well as Cass
County Farms Experience a Decid
ed Advance in Value.
That the real estate in Cass county
is steadily increasing in value and is in
gieat demand is readily perceived up
on inspecting the records in the coun
ty recorder's ollice, of transfers made
during the first week in March, which
ended yesterday. The conveyances
filed during this week alone, were
forty-three in number, and by comput
ing together the various considerations
it is found that the amount involved
is the enormous sum of !i:5::o,;77.30.
As would nacu rally be presumed, the
county "recorder's oiliee has been a
very busy place this week, and especi
ally so on the 1st of March when
twelve instruments involving consid
erations amounting to $li',:J45 were
recorded. The largest transaction of
county real estate was filed on that
day, when a deed to the northwest
quarter of section 1 and the south
west quarter of section 9, all in town
ship 11, and range 11, was entered on
the records from Newton J. Calkin to
Frank H.Stander for the sum of $32,
000. The farm is located near Manley,
and is one of the choicest pieces of
property in Cass county, as is shown by
the good price ($100 per acre) at which
it sold.
Among other large deals, iuvolving
several thousand dollars, placed on re
cord are: the transfer of south one
half of northwest quarter of Section 4
and south one half of southeast quar
ter Section 5 and north one half of
northwest quarter of Section 0, all in
township 11 range 12, from Oscar E.
Chandler to Geo Wiles for the sum of
$20,700; the transfer of the southwest
quarter and west one half of southeast
quarter of section 29 township 12
range 10 from Emilie Hammel to Aug
ust Wendt for a consideration of $20,
000: the transfer of the east one half of
southeast qarter, southeast of north
east quarter section 22, southeast of
northwest quarter and lot 4 in north
east of northwest quarter and lot ."5 in
southwest of northwest quarter sec
tion 23, all in township 11 and range
11 (190.84 acres) from SarahJ.Taber
to Jas. M. Carper for the sum of $19,
O00; and the transfer of the southwest
section and west half of southeast
quarter of section c all in township 11
and ranee 14 from II. II. Rist to Chas.
R. Troop for the sum of $1S,000.
The above transactions are only a
few of the large deals made in real es
tate, many others ranging from one to
eighteen thousand dollars being ob
served on the records. The greater
part of the property changing hands is
located in the central portion of the
county, many transactions occurring
in Mt. Pleasant and Center precincts.
In city property the Plattsmouth
leal estate men report that they are
daily receiving inquiries for residence
property The firms of J. P. Falter
and J. II. Thrasher have done remark
ably well this spring, five sales being
made by the latter during the past
week. The city property as well as
farm land has been advancing until it
is with difficulty that houses which
are nt to live in can De secured Dy
renters. The Journal is indeed pleas
ed to note the steady upward climb of
Cass county land and Plattsmouth
property which many are desirous of
securing for investment or home.
Burlington Offers An Increase.
The Lincoln Journal says: "In a
letter sent to trainmen by Burlington
officials a proposition for a settlement
of the differences between the organi
zation and the company has been
made. The company offers to pay con
ductors $10 more per month, brakraen
$ more per month and baggagemen $6
more per month. Other concessions
are made in the way of overtime. The
company states that in view of ad
verse legislation and the general de
mand from all employes for more
money and the increased cost of ma
terial which the road must meet.tbis is
the best that can be done."
A conductor, speaking of thecontro
versv. says: "we naven i reacnea a
settlement yet, but we will eventually
The trainmen should have got in their
work before the legislature began
business and it would have been set
tied without great trouble. Still, we
haven't done any hard work yet on
this proposition, although it may take
some time to settle the matter."
Go to Nebraska City.

WILL ABOLISH EXCURSIONS
The Law Applies Only to Points in the
State of Nebraska.
General Passenger Agent. Wakeley
of the Burlington, siys: 'The reduc
ed 2 cent fare applies nly. as the laws
direct, to points in Nebraska. As a
consequence all mileage tickets sold
after March ( will be endorsed, "Not
good locally in Nebraska," the idea be
ing that these are tickets sold at 2i
cents a mile, good on interstate busi
ness west over the Burlington lines.
"We do not want our conductors plac
ed in the position of violating the law
by detaching mileage costing 2 cents
a mile, even if the passenger desires
to use his scrip. This would make our
road party to the crime of collecting
higher fare than the law allows. Mile
age tickets sold prior to Mm cm 7, how
eve, will be honored un'W nie old con
tract, if the passenger o !rsiie-. oth
erwise such tickets will mm promptly
redeemed.

claim that, in disi-u.fi. g tt.n r.ill with
legislators before its pas-age they ex
plained that this action would have to
be taken and al-o ti at u was indorsed
by the legislatms.
Announcement i- mad- officially bv
the Burlineton. and toloed bv all
other lines in the state. Uiat all half-
fares have heen abolished and no spec
ial excursion rates between points in
Nebraska will in the future he grant

the railroads themselves.
"When the legislature passed the
law making the maximum rate2cents
a mile there was nothing for the rail
roads to do but decide that the same
rate should also be the minimum,"
said General Passenger Agent Wake-
ley of the Burlington, Thursday morn
iDg. In carrying out this policy many
unkind feelings will be created to
wards the roads by classes of men who
previously have been granted special
rates, but, nevertheless, it cannot be
helped. It will also mean the abolish
ment of the 400 and odd excursions
that have usually been operated an
nually." Death of Sister Salvatora.
Sister Salvatora, aged thirty-six
years, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Bickert of this place, died yester
