New Residence Nearing Completion.
One of the finest residence in the
city of Plattsmouth, or Cass county,
is the one now nearing completion of
T. E. Parmele. The finishing touches
are now being made. I). M. Jones and
assistants have been engaged in lay
ing the concrete walks, steps and cell
ars. This week they have, placed in
the three fire places with tine pressed
brick mantles, and is now turned over
to the carpenters for finishing work.
The rough work is of the popular
brown sand stone that comes from
Mr. Parmele's own ouarry up near
Louisville, and the exterior of the
structure is certainly
antique in its
appearance, out tne interior is strict
ly modern in every detail. Concrete
walls and lloors in the basement, and
the finest of lumber consumed in the
upper floors and casings in the various
apartments of the upper portion of
the building. The building will prob
ably be completed in about sixty days
at which time Mr. and Mrs. Parmele
can boast of the finest residence in
Cass county, and for ihe size of the
structure, but few in the state will
surpass it. At some later date the
Journal will publish a a photo of the
new home of Mr. Parmele that those
who are unable to visit the original
may see the exact likeness.
A Slight Accident.
. In delivering a pane of glass yester
day evening, Charles Kirschenblatt,
met with a little misfortune. While
carrying the same across the street,
delivering it to Bach's store it broke
in the center, and one-half fell to the
pavement, and the shattered pieces
flew in all directions, and a small piece
struck the limb of the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cooper, but no serious injuries
resulted. The lad was more fright
ened than injured.

McMAKEN ISSUES INVITATIONS
Soliciting All Who Have
Years to Join In Celebrating the Event
Col. H. (J. McMaken has issued invi
tations to all the pioneers of Cass
county to meet with him at his home
in Plattsmouth on the 22nd day of
May to assist him in celebrating his
fiftieth anniversary as a Cass county
resident. The invitation is not only
extended to all his personal pioneer
friends, but lie wants all who have
been in Cass county fifty years and
over to join him in a genuine old
fashioned pioneer time. Following is
the invitation as is being sent to all
parties whose names he can secure
that he knows has been in Cass county
the required length of time:
Dkai: Old Pionkeks:
To you who went through the perils
and hardships and trials of the first
settlement of Cass count j: to who put
up UOv-first log cabins: to you who
broke the prairies and tilled the crops
and showed the world that Nebraska
was not a desert: I will be pleased to
have you meet at my home in Platts-
mouth on May 22nd, being the fiftieth
anniversary of my residence in Cass
county. I will be pleased to have
everyone of you come, and also request
everyone that you know came to Cass
countv in 1357. or before. Come
everyone of you are cordially welcome
You will find the "latch string" hang
ing outside to each and every one of
you. H. C. McMakkk.
Permit the Journal to predict that
the day will be a pleasant one to all
who wish to attend, as Col. McMaken
is not much of a man to do things by
halves. His whole soul is wrapped up
in making the 22d day of May, 1907,
one that will always be remembered
by the old Cass county settlers as long
as they live. As he says the "latch
string" will be found dangling on the
outside, and the slightest touch from
any fifty-year-old residenter of Cass
county will open the McMaken home
to them for the day.
The colonel is making preparations
right now for the event, and while he
does not really expect a great many to
be in attendance, as he is unable to lo
cate them, those that do come he in
tends to show a royal time. No mat
ter whether you have ever seen Col.
McMaken or not, if you have been a
resident of Cass county for fifty years
you are as welcome as a. bright day
would be on the 22d of May. Come!
The colonel says come: and what he
says he means.

DEATH OF V. M. THOMAS
"
Dies After a Very Few Days Illness With
Spinal Miningitis.
The many friends of Wm. M. Thomas
were greatly shocked Wednesday
when the news reached our city that
he had passed away at his home about
five miles west of Plattsmouth. It
was known that Mr. Thomas had been
sick since last Friday, but were not
aware that his condition was serious.
Last Friday he was taken suddenly ill
aDd hisailment developed into a severe
attack of spinal meningitis, which re
sulted in his death at :i o'clock this
morning. JUany years ago lr. Thomas
suffered a severe attack of scarlet i
fever, and recovering from which he !
was left with disease of the ear, to j
which is attributed the case of brain j
fever that resulted fatally. j
Mr. Thomas is thirty-seven years of j
age, and the son of Senator S. L.
Thomas, and has for some time resided ,
on the old home place five miles west
of town. He is also a brother of j
Walter Thomas, now employed in the
B. & M. shops.
At this early hour no arrangements
have been made for the funeral, as the (
father is in Akron, Colo., and expect-!
ed here today, while one brother re-
sides in California, andshould be de-'
cide to attend the funeral will not

Condition Remains the Same.
The latest report from the bedside
of Miss Bessie Ballance is that her
condition remains about the same as
yesterday, and the attending physi
cians are of the opinion that a change
for the better or worse will come with
in the next twenty-four hours. Some
indications are in her favor, while
others are against her, and the latter
a little stronger than the forrrer and
it is feared that the change may be for
the worse.

George Anderson last week, and hU

The city is well supplied with two
electric light plants, three street car
