LAND AND CORN
KEEP PAGE
Every Year Will See Higher
Values for Land
That the limit of high prices for land
which will produce corn and other grains
has not been reached, is evident, by the
continued high prices realized for the
products which are obtained from the
soil. With corn at "0 to G5 cents and
with a prospect of it selling higher,
there is a great impetus given to the
real estate dealer and the owner to re
quire a greater amount of money for
the land which he has to sell. Here are
the opinions of two of the most success
ful grain men in Omaha as to what they
think will be the result.
"The entire corn area of the world is
now under cultivation." said W. C.
Sunderland, a prominent Omaha grain
broker. "This producing area can't be
increased, while the consumption and
demand are always increasing every
day. Values of corn lands are bound to
go up .V to loo j.er cent at least in a
very few years. With present high
prices, farmers are not anxious to sell
their lands except at fancy figures, for
they are getting bigger returns from
their investment than any other class."
The same opinion is advanced by
other dealers, among them E. A. Nord
strom, secretary of the Nebraska Hay
& Grain company, who said:
"Fifty cents a bushel for corn is
lound to increase farm land values and
there is no indication that prices will
ever be lower."
Was After Cattle.
Jesse Lawther, who moved from this
county to Coalridge about two years
ago. came in Tuesday for a short visit
with his parents and the parents of his
wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Norris. He
came to Omaha for a load of feeding
cattle and took advantage of the op
portunity to spend a few hours at the
old home.- Mr. and Mrs. Norris came
to Plattsmouth with him this morning
to catch the early Burlington train, but
were too late, and were compelled to
take the M. P. for Omaha.

Are Rushing Work at Home
The committee having the building of
the new wing at the Masonic Home in
charge were in the city this morning and
looked over the ground and the grading
being done at the Masonic Home, and
were well pleased with the way the
work is being pushed forward. The
firm who have the building in hand was
represented here by Mr. Fred Hoye,
and in conversation with a reporter said
that they expected to begin the laying
of the brick for the wing by the first of
the corning week. The only thing
which he think:; could possibly delay
the work would be the getting of ma-
terial as rapidly as is desired. Besides
Mr. Hoye, the architect, J. R. Guth
and one of the head canpenters, N. J.
II elding were in the city looking after
the work, as well as the committee of
the Grand Lodge, consisting of F. E.
White, J. R. Webster, Geo. H. Thum
mel, Millard M. Robertson and C'has.
Denharn. They are all well pleased
with the way the work was beinf taken
hold of and felt sure that the spirit of
the builders persuaged an early com
pletion of the contract.
CRUSHES A WAY GAR
Stock Extra Smashes Info
Regular Train
Last evening about 10.30, while the
Burlington freight train. No. 30 was
doing some work at Oreapolis, a stock
extra coming from the west and destin
ed for Omaha ran into and mashed the
way car of the regular freight and de
railed two cars. While the work was
being done a flagman was se.it back,
and when the work was finished the
engineer of the regular train, by a
whistle signal called in the .flagman in
order to come to Plattsmouth the end
of their run.
The flagman came in and before the
regular train could be gotten out of
the way the stock extra was into them,
with the above results. Roy Kline who
had been to Cedar Creek to visit his
parents and while returning was sleep
ing in the way car, and brakeman Wal
ter Speck, seeing the extra approach
ing, and unable to stop it. rushed into
the way car waking Mr. Kline got him
out of the way car just in time to escape
the no doubt fatal result which would
of happened. The way car was badly
smashed, and derailed, and two other
cars one a car of lumber and the other
the bunk car of the bridge gang of
which Oscar Sampson is the foreman.
The bridge crew had been at Cedar
Creek working and were coming into
this place in order to go to work at
Bellevue, but owing that the freight
late, they came in on a hand car
had they been on the train and
which was to bring in their car being
asleep, the probabilities are that the
loss of lives might have been serious.
The regular train No. 30 which was
ran into was delayed at Oreapolis until
morning in getting on the track so they
could get to the end of their run. The
property loss is not great, and very
fortunate it is that no lives were
lost.
Inspect Missouri Pacific Track.
Last week the Missouri Pacific suf
fered from a visitation of mishaps due
to the softening of the roadbed by the
heavy rains and for three or four days
the train schedules of the road were
knocked into a cocked hat.
The first wreck of any importance
was one that occurred near Union. The
working train that was sent out to clean
up this wreck crushed througn a rotten
bridge and a number of cars were des
troyed. It was a wonder that someone
was not killed. Trains were derailed
near Weeping Water on the north end
and Verdon on the south end with the
result that the road was blocked on both
sides f oa hours. Trains were held in the
yards here until the latter became so
congested that they would not hold an
other car.
The railroad commissioners heard of
the series of wrecks and on Monday
Commissioner Williams made a trip over
the road with the rate expert, going as
far as Auburn. The demoralized con
ditions that existed as the result of the
first fall rain shows what must be ex
pected through the winter and it is
thought that the investigation of the
road commissioner will result in another
urgent order to railroad officials to be
more thorough in the work of repair
and to hasten it along so as to get out
of the way of winter weather.

STANDARD OIL
WAS REJECTED
A. B. Allen Refused to Accept
Car at Ashland Much of
the Product Below Grade
Is Nebraska to be the dumping ground
of water logged oil?
Oil Inspector A. B. Allen has been
endeavoring to make the answer a
negative one. Nearly all the Standard
oil, he stated, seemed to be on the
"ragged edge" of the legal test, while
much of the product was clearly im
possible. He rejected a car of oil at Ashland
this morning. Similiar action may be
taken in regard to a car at Nebraska
City. An expert from the east is hur
rying to Nebraska to ascertain the ex
act trouble. Nearly all the oil scarcely
grades above 100 degrees flash test.
Last Saturday Mr. Allen rejected a
car of oil at Beaver City and several
other cars are under suspicion and may
be rejected. Mr. Allen has been in
formed by the Standard' Oil company's
agent for the state that an expert is on
his way from the east to make a chemi
cal analysis of the oil and determine
what is the trouble. The company is
compelled to ship back rejected oil or
mix it with oil of a very high test in
order to bring it within the Nebraska
statutes. Either is costly and the
company is sending its expert to make
analysis so that future carloads will be
up to the standard. Many of the car
loads of oil passed by the Nebraska in
spectors are right at the legal test.
One Glass in the Morning
"I wish to bring you the good news
that I am perfectly well again after
having suffered for such a time with a
stomach trouble. j know now that
Triner's Elixer of Bitter Wine has a
great curative power. I used only one
wine glass full in the morning and re
ceived almost immediate relief; in a
month my sickness disappeared. The
air is heavy here and those of a week
constitution should use this remedy, in
order to gain more strength. William
Tomic, Graveland Park Seminary, St.

Enjoin the Board.
A temporary writ of injunction was
issued tuesday byCounty Judge Mullin on
application of R. B. Howell, in his own
and behalf of all other members of the
Soldiers' home, against members of the
State Board of Public Lands and Build
ings and the commandment of the home,
restricting them from collecting any
part of their pension money as at
tempted by recently established rule
No. 17. This action of the board has
caused intense resentment and the
members of the home have joined in a
determination to fight the case. They
have engaged W. H. Thompson as at
torney. The petition, which is a volum
nious one, sets forth that such rule at
tempts to take property without due
process of law, is unconstitutional and
unauthorized by any law.
The action of the board has caused
interest among members of the home.
The board recently passed an order col
lecting a certain per cent of the pen
sions of all soldiers drawing over $12 a
month. The petition filed today says
such action is equivalent to taking
property without due process of law.
Burried in Rock Bluffs.
Thomas Smith, who has lived many
years in Rock Blugs and was known by
most people in this city and the sur
rounding vicinity, has for many years
been troubled with a cancer, but being
pure grit has fought off its insidious ad
vances, and has kept up and going
when many a man would have given up
and laid down and died. Mr. Smith,
while well advanced in years, has kept
going and would not even give up to
take his bed until the last. He was at
last overcome with the encroachments
of the disease of many years, and passed
away last Friday. He was buried at
Rock Bluffs, the place where he has
spent so many years, a neighbor and a
friend to all. In the little village his
kindly and daily greeting to . every in
habitant thereof will be missed, since
his pleasant good morning has been

SEVENTY-SEVENTH
ANNIVERSARY
Friends of J. V. RodeferGive
I Dinner at Masonic Home
i The members of the fraternity at the
Masonic Home has a special dinner to
day, in commemoration of the coming
to this country of the grand old man
who is making his home at the institu
tion, Mr. .1. W. Rodefer. He was born
at I''iii''astle, Virginia, a. id removed to
Abingdon, Washington county, Virginia,
j when less tnan one year old. At this
j place he spent his youth. At the age of
j twenty-six, after having lived for a
quarter of a century in the mountainous
! portion of Virginia, !.e followed the
i . x . ...
star oi empire west. Slopping at Keo
kuk, Iowa, where he lived from 1 .",; to
1872, and where he married. At the time
that he came to this place, it was a
great wholesale supply depot, for the
country surrounding, and is still a city
with many wholesale houses. After a
residence here for sixteen years, he re
moved to the city of Council Bluffs,
where he made his home for thirteen or
fourteen years. From there he took up
his residence in Omaha, where he lived
for a period of twenty-one years, at the
end of which time he came to Platts
mouth. He has made his home here
for two years and while here he has
made many acquaintances who are all
well pleased to number Uncle J. W.
Rodefer, the genial gentleman whom
we see taking his morning constitutional
almost every day in the shape of a walk
to the Burlington station back, from
the Home, as among their friends.
On this, his 77th birthday, his many
friends greet him as a type of the grand
old man, who has filled his life full with
good work and good deeds, and now, as
he meets you on the street, he always
has a cheery good morning for all, and
the greetings which he gives is an en
couragement to all. With his fellows
at the home he is an encouragement
and a source of help. The celebrating
of the event of his passing this mile
stone in life's journey, is a token of the
deep friendly feeling which his friends
entertain for him.
Mr. Rodefer, became a Mason in lSt'5
in the city of Keokuk, joing Blufl" City
lodge of that place and remaining a
member of it while living there, when
going to Council Bluffs he transferred
his membership to that place, where he
remained a member until he moved to
Omaha, where he attached himself to
Nebraska lodge No. 1. At that place
he still holds his membership. During
all the time that he has been a member
of the fraternity, he has ever practiced
their teachings, always emphasizing
the princaples of charity and brotherly
love. He has taken 32 degrees but at
the present time has dropped all but
the Blue Lodge.
They Were Really Smooth.
A six-foot man, well proportioned,
but showing that the snows of marry
winters had rested upon his locks, and
the suns of many a hot and scorching
summer has kissed his full and rounded
cheek, if not the lips of some fair one,
alighted from the morning Burlington
train, and with all the tenderness of
his wholesolcd nature assisted a fair
young woman, just past the giddish,
girlish, period of young womanhood, be
ing fair to look upon, and a tall well
proportioned blond, with the sweetest
of a smile playing around her well
formed mouth, and a preceptible
saucy sparkle in her rougish eyes, to
alight from the train. They, with the
abandon of those who know no one
knows them, strolled up the street.
They were well acquainted with Aug
ust Gorder but were particular to wend
their ways so that he would not catch
a glimpse of them. By, a round, about
course they gained the court- house,
where they secured a lisence, and made
inquiries for a minister, who would for
get all about the affair for a season.
At the court house there were plenty
of cigars to the janitor and the officials
who smoked, which was filled with
some kink of a drug, which made them
forget all about the occuraece until a
day or so shall have elapsed. We also
think that a box of candy caused the
same kind of an effect on other people
as well. Their action of course arrous
ed a suspision in our mind, and we be
gan to put things together, and plac
ing our ear to the telephone, we listned
and heared a voice well known to be
that of A. A. Randall of the Methodist
church which said, ' "who told you there
was a wedding"and he would not give
up the names but admitted he had per
formed the ceremony.
At the station waiting for the fast
mail to bear them home, in conversa
tion with the reporter, they admitted
the matter all but the names, which
they would not give up. They went
away happy, and we wish them all the
happiness they can obtain from this
mysterious life, and that they may be
as successful in winning the smiles of
the Goddess of Fortune a3 they were in
keeping their names a secret from the
public.

DISASTROUS FIRE
AT ELr.1V00D
Miss Edna Miller Badly Injured
By Jumping From Window
A special to the State .Journal from
Klmwood under date of yesterday says:
At 1 o'clock yesterday morning the
modern $.,(io farm residence of the
late '.. P. Marl, live n.ilc-i rv rt h ami t wo
! west of Klmwood, was tot ally dest royed
by v. thought to have originated from
j the furnace. Nothing vas saved but. a
piano, parlor carpet aiid some clothing.
Miss Edna Miller of this city who
, t "aches in the Zz district, hoarded
at the Karl home, and was terribly
j injured by jumping from :!) upstairs
j window, a distance of twenty feet, fall
ing on the cement wall., where she was
disco-, cvd soon, after, .. lien" a ladder
wa:i feeing taken to her w indow. Miss
Miller was c alled in plenty of lime to
get out of the house, but e ideiitly re
mained to put on most of her clothing,
not coming down stairs when called, as
was supposed by members of the fam
ily. When she tried to get down the
stairway it was too late, and she re
came frightened and attempted to climb
out of the window and fell. Members
of the family soon discovered she was
not with them and hastily carried a lad
der to her window, only to discover her
unconscious form beneath the window.
She was carried to a neighbor's and
doctors summoned from Klmwood and
M unlock, who found her left arm
broken, jaw fractured, head terribly
cut and face and head bruised. She
will recover if internal injuries were
not received. There was $."00 insurance
on the house, it is reported. Had the
wind been blowing the barn and out
buildings would have been destroyed, as
they were near the house.
Telephone News Service
It is estimated that nearly 2,000,000
cords of wood are used every year in
the manufacture of paper in the United
States. Of all this paper 500,000 tons
go into the printing of newspapers arid
thousands of acres are stripped of trees
to supply the insatiable demand for
printed matter. The problem of paper
supply for the future grows more acute
as time passes and it is suggested that
the newspaper of the future may be
like the Telephone- K 'wi.Tm-n i of Bud
apest. This institution whic h c an hard
ly be called a newspaper, supplies 20,
000 subscribers with news over 1,100
miles of telephone wires.
From 8 o'clock in the morning until
ten at night reports of current events
market figures, musical and dramatic
criticism, lectures and scientific and
political addresses are talked in the
microphones for the benefit of subscrib
ers. The different subjects being hand
led according to a schedule annouced in
advance. The cost of the service is
about two cents a day for each sub
scriber. The plan is not without its disad
vantages. Unless the subscriber hap
pens to be at home and at leasure when
the news is telephoned he must either
go uninformed or buy an old-fashioned
printed sheet.
W. A. Shannon Improving.
Oliver Edmonds and wife returned
home last evening from Grand Island,
where they have been to visit Mr. Ed
mond's father, who is very sick, and on
account of whose sickness Mr. Edmonds
and wife were called there. Grandpa
Edmonds was much improved, and bids
fair to still make more improvement,
and was so, that the folkscould return.
While awaiting a train at Lincoln Mr.
Edmonds went to see W. A. Shannon,
who suffered the loss of one leg and a
part of one of his feet some time since
by slipping under the wheels of a train
at Friend. It will be remembered that
Mr. Shannon was employed in the local
switch yards of the Burlington here,
and was known as "Hi" Shannon. lie
is just getting out for the first time,
and it is hoped that he may make a
very rapid recovery.
Was Here Forty-two Years Ago.
Chas. York, of Idaho Falls, Idaho,
came in last evening and is visiting
with his brother J. C. York, and family.
Mr. York has not seen his brother for
some twelve years, and thought this a
good time to come and visit him. Mr
Chas. York has just disposed of his
farm in Idaho, and thought that he
would come back to Nebraska,
and look around with the object in
view of seeing if he could find a good
location for purchasing a home as well
as visiting with relatives which he ha3
not seen for years. Mr. York has only
made his home in Idaho for about five
years, having lived in Jefferson county,
this state for the twelve years preced
ing that time. Mr. York says he no
tices an improvement in this place from
the time when he was here last.
