Sioux City, la., Jan. 22. Seven
states bordering upon the Missouri river
have poured their delegates into Sioux
City to attend the first Missouri river
navigation congress until Sioux City is
captured and overrun with them and
nonplused at their surprising energy
and number, both far exceeding the ex
pectations of the hosts.
At the Grand theatre this afternoon,
Omaha and Kansas City locked horns
with a view of landing the next meet
ing, and Omaha won the preliminary
skirmish. Gossip has it that George C.
Call, of Sioux City, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee had lined up with
the Kansas City men, and when Con
gressman Ellis of Kansas City nomi
nated Call for temporary chairman,
with the expectation that the conven
tion would gladly give the Sioux City
man a complimentary vote, some one in
sympathy with Omaha bobbed up and
suggested the substitution of Victor E.
Bender, of Council Bluffs, fortemporary
chairman and the substitution went
through with a hurrah. A. L. Beall
was made temporary secretary. Thus
Omaha gained control of the conven
tion' at the start. In addition to Omaha
and Kansas City, Yankton, S. D., is a
strong bidder for the next convention.

GOING
Nearly Ready Forihe Plast
erers, the Plumbing all
Done and the Walls
Complete.
The begining of the wing of the
Masonic Home, which was made last
fall was looked upon as a matter which
would in a short time have to' go over
until the coming spring, has surprised
most of the people connected with the
enterprise. The contractors themselves
hardly expecting the weather would
permit them to make the progress
-which has been made.
Notwithstanding financial flurrys de
layed arrival of materials and other
obsticles thrown in the way, the entire
wing is rapidly nearing completion.
The walls have been finished some
time since. The plumbing which is
being furnished by John Bauer, is all
in place, with the exception of some
radiators, which will have to be changed
after the entire finishing has been com
pleted. The lathers are about ready for
plasterers, and the work in moving
along toward completion in a very sat
isfactory manner. The time specified
for finishing the building was placed at
the first of May, and it looks as if it
would be well and out of the way be
fore that date!

MRS. GERIfJG DE
PARTS FOR WEST
Called to California Yester
day on Account of
Sickness of a
Relative.
Mrs. Faul Gering received a message
telling of the sickness of her sister,
Mrs. Barbara Fheifer, the mother of
Ernest Theifer, who a number of years
since lived in this city for some time
and was employed in Gering and Co.
store, who has been making her home
in the west for some few months past.
Mrs. Pheifer, who is over seventy
years af ago, had her home at Cedar
Falls, Iowa, and was advised by her
physicians, to go to a warmer climate
for the benefit of her health, thinking
she might be benefited, but after
reaching L03 Angeles, where she has
gone with her daughter, Mrs. D. C.
Morner and family it has appeared she
received no benefit from the change.
Mrs. Gering goes to see her sister as
she is very sick, and to render what
assistance she can in her care. It is
hopes by her many friends in the city
that she may find the condition of her
sister improved when she shall have
arrived at her destination. Mrs. Ger
ing departed on the early train this
morning for the west.
Chas. Mapes departed for Narivisa,
New Mexico, this morning, and will visit
at Clayton while he is away. Charlie

of business there he will probably re
main, though it is not his intention to
remain long on this trip. A number of
Plattsmouth people have taken claims
in that vicinity.
