Snowed 32 Years Ago.
In conversation with Judge Archer,
he tells us that he distinctly remem
bers that on the 2nd day of May, thirty-two
years ago, Cass county was vis
ited by a heavy snow storm, at which
time he was residing near Rock Bluffs,
which was the only time until yes
terday that snow ever fell in Cass
county in May, since 1875. It was on
Sunday and will be remembered by
many of the old residents.

Howell Smith in Politics.
The Ledger has received a copy of
the Thomas (Okla.) Tribune, on the
first page of which we find the famil
iar face of our friend, Howell Smith,
who for many years resided near Mc
Paul. Iowa, and was known to numer
ous people in this vicinity, being a
brother of Mrs. I. S. White of Rock
Bluffs precinct. Mr. Smith is a can
didate for the Oklahoma legislature,
and the Tribune "boosts"' him as
follows:
"Elder Howell Smith has been per
suade by his friends all over Custer
county to become a candidate for the
state legislature and he has finally
consented to make the race. As a
democrat he will command a good
strong vote, and on general princi
ples as a good moral citizen, be should
have a hearty endorsement from all
of the people. Mr. Smith came to
Oklahoma In 1893 and for the past
fourteen years be has dwelt among
the people of Custer, Blaine and
Dewey counties. He is an able man.
Besides being a strong exponent of
the gospel he is a lawyer of ability
and excellent business man. It was
mainly through his efforts that the
beautiful Christian church was built
in Thomas. Democrats of Thomas
and vicinity are pleased over Mr
Smith's candidacy and they will make
a mighty effort to elect him. Union

Several Narrow Escapes.
The runaway accident in which Mr.
Bryan figured in Vermont the other

speech to the hundreds of people who
swarmed about him, reminds us that
he has had several close calls, when It
seemed only providential interference
saved him. He was once nearly killed
by the falling of a platform in Florida.
He narrowly escaped death in a rail
road wreck four years ago. and about
two years ago, in the grand canon in
Arizona, the Bryan party became lost
in the darkness. By cautious driving
tbey finally reached home, and on the
following morning the hosts discover

MAKE THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
Timely Suggestions that Shold be Accept
ed by Every Property Owner In
Plattsmouth.
The Journal endorses every word of
the following from the Lincoln Trade
Ileview, and we hope many of our
readers will do tlie same and act ac
cordingly: "No resolution can be tak
en by a community that will be more
beneficial individually and collectively
than a resolution to get together and
make one's town more attractive,
more cleanly and more desirable in
which to live. This is the time to not
only resolve but to act along these
lines. Tnere is something in the prop
osition that if a town is looked after
in this way it will draw more people
to it, but there is infinitely more in
the proposition that work of this kind
should be done for the good of the
whole people now living in it. If your
town has a population of two thous
and you can benefit every one by im
proving the cleanliness and appearance
of the place entire. At best you could
not reach nearly so many new people
no matter how much you do. No
where can work be done that will ac
complish so much for little outlay as
can be done in our prairie cities. Ne
braska towns can be made attractive
at a minimum expense, practically
with no expense if each individual
property owner does his part. Let a
city get right on sidewalk construc
tion and half the battle for a pretty
town is won. Let there be a system
of town cleaning that will clean up
filthy and filled up alleys and another
long step is taken in the right direc
tion. Neither of these requre addition
expenditure of money, they simply re
quire something that has to be done
right and thoroughly. In no way can
a commercial club organization do a
more appreciative work than by join
ing hands with its local government to
make their town clean and attractive."
FIRST NATIONAL FILES SUIT
Against the Executrix and Heirs of the
Estate cf Frederick D. Lenhoff.
In the district court Friday a peti
tion of suit was filed by the First
National Bank, through their attor
ney, airainst the heirs and the execut
rix of the estate of the late Frederick
D. Lenholl, deceased, and all of the
following parties are made defendants
in the suit: Katherine E. LenbolT, as
executrix of the estate of Frederick
D. Lenhoff, deceased; F. W. Lenhoff,
Geo. B. Lenhoff ahd Matilda Lenhoff,
as heirs of the deceased, to recover on
a note given by deceased to the Platts
mouth Brick and Terra Cotta com
pany, of which corporation said testa
tor was a stockholder, and was for the
sum of $666.40 with interest, which
claim was allowed at the time the es
tate of the deceased was probated in
the county court. Later.executrix ap
pealed the matter to the district
court of Cass county, where said judg
ment was confirmed and said claim or
dered paid in the sum of $703.75 with
interest and costs which amount is
still unpaid.
Plaintiff further alleges that said
testator prior to May 5, 1903, was the
owner of one-half of lot 6, in block 34,
on which is situated a two-story brick
building in the city of Plattsmouth,
and that on said day for the purpose
of defrauding and cheating said plain
tiff a deed therefor was placed on
record conveying the same to his son,
Geo. B. Lenhoff in whose name it now
appears on the records, and further
alleges that said Geo. B. Lenhoff paid
no consideration, the son being
charged in conspiracy with the father
and mother.
Fred W. Lenhoff and Matilda Len
hoff are both made parties thereto as
heirs of the deceased. The plaintiff
asks that said deed be set aside and
adjudged fraudulent and subject said
property to the payment of plaintiff's
claim, or any other relief as may be
equitable in the premises.

that Mr. Divine is ailing from con
sumption." OUR CITY IN GOOD SHAPE
Not a City in Nebraska That Can Show a
Better Financial Standing
HOME FIRST THE WORLD AFTERWARD
A Decrease of Fifty-five Per Cent on City
Taxes in Three Years.
There is not a city in Nebraska that
can claim right now a brighter future
than Plattsmouth. In the first place,
the city is in the best financial condi
tion she has been for many years and
many of the older inhabitants say in a
better shape as regards taxation, the
town has ever been. Another thing,
our business men are becoming more
congenial with each other, and are
more disposed than ever to "all pull
together" for Plattsmouth.
It is with considerable pride that
the Journal points to the excellent
condition of our city. There has been
a gradual decrease of taxation in the
past three years, and today the records
show a total decrease of 55 per cent in
that time. Not only this, but there
is not a single over-draft or registered
warrant, with $23,104 in the city treas
ury. This is certainly a record of
which every taxpayer should feel
proud. While we can thus boast of
such an excellent financial condition,
it is but justice that due credit should
be given to Mayor Gering and the
members of the council, who have as
sisted him in the engineeringof public
affairs. It is indeed a record they can
point to with pride.
There is not a city, town or village
in the state of Nebraska that can
show a better condition financially,
and we very much doubt if there is
even one with as good showing. Such
a state of affairs has much to do with
inducing new comers and manufac
turing establishments to locate here.
No one wants to locate in a town that
is head over heels in debt and the
rate of interest and taxation beyond
that of other cities of Plattsmouth's
dimensions.
Under present conditions people are
coming to Plattsmouth every day, buy
ing property and locating here, manu
facturing establishments have an eye
in this direction with a view of loca
ting in the future, and with the com
ing of the Interurban road, we may
expect big things for Plattsmouth.
But with all these things in view, let
our business men and merchants gen
erally continue to pull together for a
"Greater Plattsmouth," and success
is bound to crown our efforts.

RULING ON SCAVENGER LAW
Judge Jessen Interprets the Rights
County Commissioners to Bid
of
A special from Nebraka City says:
"Judge i'aul Jessi'ti hai.dd down ati
important decision on Uhmu'w revenue
law. It was In the city of W. V. Hair
vs I'. M. Cook, county treasurer. The
suit was instituted some time since to
test certain portions of t he law. Thn
county commissioners had gone Into
the treasurer's olllce after the treasur
er had made ills sales and raised the
bids on a large amount of property
which had been bid on below its actual
value. Tlie commissioners increased
the bids over $10,000 and they consid
ered their bids were low, when the act
ual value of the property was taken
into consideration. The first question
raised was if tlie commissioners iiad a
right to go to the treasurer and bid on
any property on which there was de
linquent taxes save on the days of sale.
The next was if they did where were
they going to get the money, which the
law says must be put up by any one
biding over another. All of the mem
bers of the bar were present, and di-
cussed the matter with Judge Jessen
last week and he took tlie case under
advisement. Yesterday he iianded
down a decision in which lie held the
commissioners had no right to bid at
any time save at sales, only as individ
uals and ordered tlie treasurer to ac
cept the bid of Mr. Hair, which had
been offered prior to that of the com
missioners. All of the property in this
city and county on which there were
delinquent taxes had been sold last
year and the buyers of the certificates
ure well pleased with the decision, but
it will lose to the county many thous
and of dollars when if the commission
ers were able to have carried out their
idea and bought in the property and
sold it at private sale. The commis
sioners may instruct the county attor
ney to take the matter to the supreme
court and have that body pass upon
the questions raised."

A Cold Spring Kills Grasshoppers.
F. M. Timblin of Weeping Water
relates an incident showing one pe
riod in the history of Nebraska when
a freeze toward the end of April was a
blessing for the state and saved the
country from the gassnoppers. The
first grasshopper raid occurred in 1366,
the arrival being so late that little
damage was done to crops and tbey
left their eggs, however, and did much
damage the following year. The sec
ond raid occurred in 1874. Then they
came in August and cleaned outevei -thing
and also did much damage t&
following spring. The third and Iaal
raid was in 1376, when considerable,
damage was done to crops and the
ground was filled with eggs for the
succeeding spring. About April 1,1877,
the eggs hatched and millions of hop
pers swarmed over Nebraska fields,
threatening every growing thing. The
farmers were disheartened and it be
gan to look as if the country was never
to be free from the pests. A cold rain
killed off the first batch but the hop
pers were up and coming again when
a snow about the middleof April killed
more. On the night of April, 2'J, the
ground froze hard and finished the
goo work.
