DoftlhDinig Plattsmouth, Nebraska D )OC DC Mrs. Frank Janda Dies Suddenly. While a number of her children were in her rooom, Mrs. Frank Janda, who for the past several wteks has been suffering from asthma, suddenly threw up her hands with a sigh and expired Monday evening, April 15, at about 9:15. That the death angel had came to the mother could scarcely be realized by the children, until the lips remained silent, failing to respond to their querries. The sad intelligence of her demise is a great shock to the many friends and relatives. The deceased was a native of Bo hemia, being born there tifty-iive years ago, and was married to Frank Janda some time before immigrating to America. They have resided in this city for the past twenty-six years, making many friends, and rearing a family of nine children, all of whom are living.

Vandyke is received by his many friends in Platts mouth with deep regret. The deceased was well known to all tnembersof the A. O. U. W. here, and all who knew him best loved him. Genial toa fault, he possessed a faculty of making a friend of everyone with whom he came in contact. In speaking of his sudden demise the Omaha World Ilerald says: "Grand Master Workman O. J. Vandyke of the jurisdiction of Ne braska, Ancient Order of United Workmen, died about G o'clock Tues day night at the home of Dr. W. A. Ilostetter, Twentieth and Leaven worth streets, of acute gastritis, after an illness of a short duration. "Grand Master Vandyke's home was in Sbelton. lie came to Omaha Sun day to assist Deputy Grand Master Workman A. L. Ilildinger in an effort to secure a monster class for initiation into the order during the meeting of the grand lodge next month in this city. "Monday night an anniversary of lodge No. 172 of the order was being held and a delegation went to the Murray hotel, where they knew the grand master to be, in order that he might take part in the function. The delegation found Mr. Vadyke had re tired unusually early and he told the delegation that he did not feel able to attend the lodge. "Monday morning Mr. Vandyke was visited by Dr. S. R. Patton of No. 17, who called Dr. Ilostetter of No. 159, and the latter at once removed Mr. Vandyke to his own residence where he could devote bis entire time to the patient. Notwithstanding that everything possible was done to relieve the pa tient, he grew rapidly woise until the end. "Mr. Vandyke's widow at Shelton was immediately notified of her hus band's sudden death, and Grand Re corder Barton of Grand Island was no tified over long distance telephone. "O. J. Vandyke was elected to the office of grand master workman for Nebraska at the South Omaha con vention of the order two years ago next May. For many years he had been deputy grand master workman and he had in that capacity been very active in securing memberships in the order. He was one of the best known men in Nebraska, and untiring in his efforts for the best interests of the order of which be was the head in this state. lie was about 50 years of age and leaves a widow and two daughters, one of whom is married and lives in Iowa." Havelock for Drinks. With the Lincoln saloons closed and the Havelock saloons open the street car traffic between the two cities has materially increased, so says the Journ al. A street car man said last night that many people go to Havelock on the night trips carry grips and suit cases and that they come back with a great deal of weight added to these receptacles.

MAYOR DAHLMAN ATTENDS FAIR Omaha's Chief Executive Participates in Social Festivities BALL BOYS GIVE HEARTY RECEPTION Diamond Ring Contest the Center of Great interest Number of Prizes Awarded The second night of the fair given at Coates' Hall by the Red Sox ball team totally eclipsed the opening night, and the most brilliant expecta tions were realized. The fact that Omaha's chief execu tive, Mayor James Dahlman, was pres ent Tuesday night, drew forth all but a very few of our citizens from their homes. I lis entrance into the hall in company with Mayor II. R. Gering was the signal for the doings to begin. A hearty ovation was tendered the visitor, and in response he mide a short talk appropriate to the occasion, and was again greeted with rounds of applause. After thanking the audi ence for the hearty reception, Mayor Dahlman proceeded to get acquainted and passing from group to group with some pleasant remark, it was not long before everyone was enjoying the best social time of their life. Our distin guished guest was also equal to the oc cassion when a bevy of girls assailed him to take chances on various arti cles that were being rallied off. Throughout the evening Dahlman Cow Boy (Quartette with their western regalia, pleased the gathering with some most entertaining songs. Their appearance in the balcony was much anticipated, and encores were respond ed to without hesitation, much to the delight of their auditors. The vaudeville show and the palm ist from Texas had an exceptionally good run last evening, and everyone united in declaring that they were ex cellent in their respective lines. Among those to win prizes in the rallllng contests last night were R. W. White, John Chapman, Louis Lorenz, Bert Thrasher, Tom Patterson, Joe Fitzgerald and Will Ilassler. A Boy's Reply. Teacher Arnold spoke sharply to a rather dull boy in the school, on which the pupil looked up in his face and said: "Why do you speak angrily, sir? Indeed, I am doing the best I can." Wrhat a progress would the world make in a short time, if all of us did the best we can? We know persons who are well aware of what is bad for them, but still cling to it; we know persons who are well aware of what would bring them up in the world, but still neglect it: we know persons who are perfectly satisfied that in diseases of the stomach and of the intestines there is no better rem edy than Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, but still make experi ments with articles unknown. Tri ner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is always the best, because it is per fectly safe, because it always helps, if help is possible, because it strength ens every digestive system. Vou cer tainly will do the best you can, by using Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine in all derangements of the digestion. At drug stores. Jos. Triner, 799 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago, Illinois.

Almost a Total Loss. The Nebraska City News, in speak ing of the loss by lire of the home of our old friend, D. W. Foster, says: "The lio.xe of Daniel W. Foster, who lives a short distance this side of Union, was totally destroyed by lire Monday afternoon and all its contents burned. The origin, of the lire is not known. "Yesterday Mr. and Mrs Foster and the hired man ate dinner and the men j went out into the field to work arid I Mrs. Foster went to call on a neigh j bor. About half an hour later the hired man discovered the lire and started for the house, but by the time he reached there it was all in llames and nothing was saved except a feath er bed and two pillows. The milk house and work shop were also burned. Mrs. Foster hadSW in money and the hired man $10, which witli all their clothing was burned. The house was a two-story one, and one of the best in that section of the country. There was verj little insurance and the loss will amount to about SU.OOO. Will Contest Direct Primary Law. Ex-Senator W. V. Allen will contest the direct primary law. lie will seek to test its legality either by injunction or quo warranto proceedings before the law is put into operation at the primaries next fall. To a World-IIerald reporter in Lin coln yesterday he said: "There are several unconstitutional features, the chief one of which is that the law requires a voter to disclose hi3 party identity. This infringes on the Australian ballot principle of secrecy and is to that extent a restriction of suffrage, which the constitution for bids. The expense of holding two elections a year is burdensome on the taxpayers, who even kick on one. Then what is to prevent a candidate with money going out and posting paid henchmen about the polls to see that they get in votes for him and keep oth ers out? I think there is as much pos sibility of corruption under the pri mary system as where nominations are made in conventions, if not more." Enforce It Right Now. Speaking of tbe non-enforcement of ordinances, is there still one upon the city statute that forbids riding bi cycles on tbe sipewalks in this city? If so, a great many people do not seem to know it, or if they do, defy it. Last season pedestrians had to take the middle of the road for safety and make room on tbe walks for cyclists. If there is such an ordinance, it should be enforced right now, and give them to understand that they must use the streets the same as other vehicles. Taken lo Lincoln. Sheriff C. D.
