Nice Looking Couple Rents
Hotel and Then Lights
Out Between
Two Days
The following item is taken from the
Weeping Water Republican and goes
to show how unscrupulous strangers
take mean advantage of newspaper
people as well as. other folks:
"Last week the Republican announced
that the Gibbon hotel had been changed
to read the 'Miller house and that Mr.
and Mrs. J. G. Miller were going to
conduct the same, and in fact there was
going to be something doing. The Re
publican kindly furnished stationery
because they were such an agreeable,
fine-looking couple, and honesty shone
on Miller's face as plain as a wart on a
man's nose. There were others and a
few more that thought so. Sunday
night the couple concluded they had all
the experience they cared for and took
the midnight train south. Miller was
agent for Hospe, the piano man, and
had one or two pianos at the hotel.
They left a cheap suit case for the
owner of the hotel, Mr. Frank, who has
a board bill against them for about
$27.00. The suit case may contain some
underwear, but Frank doesn't wear
that style. He says we can have the
stationery back if it will console us
any. R. O. McNurlin says $8.40 would
square him for cooking according to
the printed menus.

While Serving Time Daniel Kohn Begin:
Aright a New Life Which Hakes for
Success in Years to Come
It will be remembered by many read
ers of this paper that while enjoying
the confidence of his friend and em-
ployer, II. P. Sturm, living near Ne
hawka, Daniel Kohn, some few years
ago, disappeared one night. At the
same time a fine team of horses, the
pride of his employer, were also miss
ing. As the records show, the hired
man was apprehended and after due
course of time was convicted and sen
tenced to a term in the state peniten
tiary. Why at that time Kohn should
have stepped from the path of virtue
to commit such a deed, is not easily
shown, but like many another man, he
sailed along in fine shape until in a
fatal moment, a weakness peculiar to
human nature came upon him when the
temptation was strongest, and he gave
way, only to regret the action for all
tha years to follow.
Kohn, notwithstanding the fact that
the strong arm of the law had reached
out and with the firm grip of that edict
which says "an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth," held him, made the
determination to begin life over again
and at once. He did not think it well
to wait until he had gotten his liberty
again, but began then, and when the
end of his sentence comes he will have
the length of his time credited to the
new life.
During the two or more years of his
imprisonment, Daniel has found a way
of earning a little money by doing
work outside of working hourn. From
those earnings he has accummulutcd
some money, and by putting in all h
could get together, he finally savtd
something over one hundred dollars.
Since he has been at Lincoln, he has
frequently written his former employer
soliciting a visit from him. When first
receiving the communications Mr.
Sturm paid little attention to them, but
as one followed another eac h one inon
insistent than the other, he concluded
he would make Daniel a visit. Last
week he went to Lincoln and visited
the young man in prison, and was sur
prised to learn that he has saved from
extra work enough to pay one hundred
dollars on the amount of the value of
the horses taken.
He declared his intention to repay
the entire loss sustained by his former
employer, and upon the departure of
the visitor, presented him with a half
dozen whisk brooms for the home on
the farm, besides some house brooms.
While serving time for his crime,
that this man should make a new start
in life, speaks well for him, and shows
that the spark of manhood has not be
come extinct by reason of his having
given way to temptation. We hope
that in this man's coming out a free
man he will be stronger than before,
and that he may have .he fortitude to
resist the temptation should it come
again.

OPERATED UPON
A SECOND TIME
DID

LIVE HERE?
A Rough House Occur
Water, and One of the Party
froni Plattsmouth.
The Weeping Water Republican of
this week says: "Last Saturday night
five revolver shots disturbed the peace
ful quietude of this city. About two
months ago from the town of Louisville,
moved a family by the name of Kearns,
John is the father's name, and Frank
is the name of the son who did the
shooting. Frank had been in Omaha
Saturday and came home, filled with
poor whisky and plenty of it. He used
his revolver in the house so freely that
his father, after having a bullet singe
necjc, came down to have Nightwatch
Ralston arrest him. There was also a
rough and tumble fight in the house for
the reason that Guy McGill went over
to take a young lady by the name of
Goldie Mills, to some entertainment,
and Kearns objected. McGill, it is said
knocked Kearns down, but when two
brothers came to Kearns' assistance,
and the butt end of the revolver struck
McGill on the nose, breaking it, Mc
Gill found he was up against it and re
turned to the doctor's shop for repairs.
Nightwatch Ralston went over early
Monday morning to arrest Kearns, but
the latter had concluded that his health
needed a change of climate and depart
ed. It is said John Kearns, the father,
has been a resident of Cass county for
many years, and that Plattsmouth was
his abiding place. The shooting on the
street occurred after the first act of the
performance at the house, and McGill
and Kearns then returned to the house. "
Owing to a pressure of matter to go
we have not had an opportunity to con
sider the hypnotic drive which the won- j
j der Norwood performed last Monday. !
i At the time the drive was to take place j
j Mr. Norwood was blindfolded and
watched by a committee of citizens,
: while Burlington Agent W. L. Pickett,
I P. A. McElwain, Dr. E. W. Cook and
I Mavor H. R. Gering, took the team
j furnished, and after driving for four
ty " I teen blocks, hid a pocket knife which
If! Iieeping , . j j,een furnished, and returned and
reported, as ready for Mr. Norwood to
find same. With the blindfold still on
1 his eyes he jumped into the carriage,
j grasping the lines gave the horses a cut
with the whip and was away. Follow
ing the same route as had been travers
ed before, they fairly flew over the in
equality of the grading where A. F.
Lampher was thrown from his wagon
only a few moments afterwards, severe
ly injuring himself, in perfect safety.
While going west on Vine street, neaT
the residence of David Hawksworth,
they encountered a drove of cattle, Mr.
Norwood reading the minds of the peo
ple in the carriage, deftly avoided them
by vearing to the right. Arriving at
the place where the knife was hid, he
goes immediately to the place but re
quired two efforts to get it as it was in
a crevice in a rock.
Johnnie Kalmes Compelled
To Undergo a Second
Operation for
Relief
J. W. Thacker was in the city today
as a witness in the case of the appoint
ment of a guardian for Will Albin,
which is being heard today in the county
court.
Frank Albin and wife from near
Union were in the city today attending
the hearing of an action asking for the
appointment of a guardian for Will
Albin.
Peter Halmes returned last evening
from Lincoln where he has been visiting
his son, Johnnie, who is in the hospital
at that place. Johnnie had tuberculosis
of the bones of his legs, and it became
necessary to perform an operation re
moving a portion of the bones in order
to effect a cure. The first operation
did no prove sufficient, and another one
had to be made. This was done a few
days since. The young man is getting
along as well as could be expected but
the second operation is a severe trial
and it prolongs the stay which had to
be made in the hospital, which is far
from pleasant in the beginning. It is
hoped that since the second operation.
Johnnie may have a speedy racovery..
