Mrs. L. II. Crilchfields Place Near Weep
ing Water, Starts For Omaha and is
Heard of No Here
A week ago yesterday morning Au
gust Parkening, who has farmed the
L. II Critchfield place between Manley
and Weeping Water for some years
past, and who owns the farming mach
insry and horses on the place, which he
has for the present year, started for
Omaha and nothing more has been
heard from him. He had $127.00 in
money in his pocket when he left home,
and the last that was heard was when
he boarded the train for Omaha at
Manley Tuesday morning. Mr. Park
ening is considered a first class man, a
good farmer, and free from bad habits,
he has lived on the farm and generally
stayed at the place, caring for his
stock, and saving his money. Mrs L.
II. Critchfield, who lives on the place,
is worried sick over the matter, and
having the rheumatism is, with the
worry and trouble confined to her bed,
requiring the attention of a nurse.

missing man but nothing has developed.
The police at Omaha have been notified
and while they have made every effort
to find him, have signally failed. The
work has been taken up by the Danish
Brotherhood of Omaha, who are leav
ing nothing undone to find if possible
any trace of him.
That he should abandon his stock, and
investements at the farm, especially
when he i3 in a position to farm as he
was, and with the pleasant relations,
seems strange, and makes it appear
as though there had been foul play in
the case.
His having only the $127.00, would
not make the object very strong, but
even that might be a temptation to
some one, to use foul means in order to
get hold of it. Anything leading to
wards the finding of him, and anything
regarding his whereabouts are eagerly
looked for by Mrs Critchfield and the
other friends, who are very anxious
about the matter.
One Hundred Boss Financiers
In his recent speech Senator LaFol
lette gave a list of a hundred men
whose names appear on the director
ates of different banks, trusts, railroads
and insurance companies, whose control
of capital is absolute. There is not, as
in the old days, one list of men on this
directorate and another list on the oth
er, but all are represented on both, and
their interests intermingled through
their duplication of directorships that
these hundred men are bound together
with a community of interest that is the
strongest possible tie. New York is the
money center of the country, made so
by being the great reserve city for all
of the banks of the United States. The
places of deposit of this money, the
banks, trust companies and insurance
companies are under the direct control
of these hundred men. These 100 men
control all of the big trust corporations.

Miss Ethel
Last evening at their pleasant home
on South Wintersteen hill, J. E. Jones
and wife, gave a very pleasant birth
day surprise to their daughter, Miss
li.thel, and a number ot her young
: friends. The surprise was complete as
the daughter did not think of anything
until her friends began to congregate,
and when so many came to call at the
: same time, her suspicions were aroused
and she remembered that it was her
fifteenth birthday, and wondered if thay
were not celebrating the event. She
had not long to wait for they took the
house by storm and made the hours
allotted to the evening's entertainment
merry ones. Games were played, with
music of a very excellent quality, and
the evening was capped with one of the
most pleasant lunches which added to
the enjoyable features of the occasion.
Many beautiful and costly presents
were given by the young lady's friends
as rememberances of the occasion.

tion of the event and to make the even
ing one of much pleasure were: Misses

MRS. KRECKLOW
DIED YESTERDAY
After an Illness Lasting for About
Four Weeks She Passes Away
About Seven Last Evening
Mrs. Wm. Krecklow of Louisville
died last evening at her home and sur
rounded by her husband and children,
after a sickness of about four weeks.
Mrs Krecklow was formerly a resident
of this city being the daughter of Wil
liam Guthmann and a niece of Frank
Guthmann of this place. When first
married they made their home here,
where Mr Krecklow was in business, but
later moving to near Louisville where
they have made their home for a num
ber of years. Her brother E. C. Guth
mann of Grand Island was telegraphed
for and came in this morning, and with
Mesdames J. V. Egedberger, Herman
Spies and F. R. Guthmann departed for
Louisville this afternoon on the Schuy
ler train. Arrangements for the fun
eral are not yet made but will be an
nounced later.
Off For New Mexico.
Walter Palmer and John Maurer
loaded their car this morning for Clay
ton, New Mexico, and also the goods
which Rev. A. L. Zink left here last
fall when he departed, which they will
take to him. The government inspector
came in on a velocipede car from Ore
apolis this afternoon and inspected the
stock which is being shipped. Walter
Palmer has his claim just north and
joining that of Rev. Zink, which makes
them near neighbors.
Becomes a Farmer Again.
Today completes the moving of ex
Treasurer W. D. Wheeler from the city
to his farm near Rock Bluffs, where he
will make his home in the future. As
a farmer before he was interested in
politics as an officer, he was a success,
and as sheriff and treasurer he made
the same kind of a record, and we trust
he will not have forgotten how to farm
by living in the city.
Shoe Shop Moves.
John Gebhart, the shoe dealer and
repairer, has moved from the Lehnhoff
building on the south side of Main street
to the old Leader restaurant building
on the north side of the street, where
he will be pleased to meet all his old
patrons, as well as all new ones. He is
now prepared to do your shoe work.

DOES QUILTING
They Have a Social Time and
fhe Nimble Needles Fly,
and the Quilt is Made
The members of the ladies aid society
of the Christian church met yesterday
afternoon with Mrs A. J. Graves, and
while they planned a reception for the
new minister their hands were not idle
for they were as busy as beavers at a
quilt which they were anxious to com
plete at this meeting and the next. A
very good time was had by those pre
sent, and good progress was made to
ward the completion of the quilt, which
some declare is a veritable dream, and
if not we suppose in will cover some
one when they do dream.
Will Visit Boyhood Friend
Jesse McVey will depart tomorrow
for Tecumseh, this state, where he will
visit with his old time friend, D. P.
Henry, of that place, whom he knew
in former years in Windsor, Illinois.
They were boys together before the
civil war, and have not seen each other
for a number of years. That they will
both enjoy the visit goes without say
ing, and the days when they were boys
will come fleeting back at a beck or a
call.
The Burlington's Assessment
The Burlington road returned on the
blank furnished for the listing of their
terminal property, by the county as
sessor, the sum total of their property
at this place including the station and
terminal facilities with store house and
shops, at $572,769.44, this being about
twice as much as was ever listed at any
time in the past. This shows a disposi
tion on the part of the Burlington to do
the right time, and to be fair, and
should be so accepted by the authorities
and the people.
MODERN WOODMEN
IN CONVENTION
At Weeping Water Today the Modern
Woodmen ot America are Hold
ing Their County Convention
The Plattsmouth delegation departed
for Weeping Water this morning where
they will do some great log rolling at
the Woodman convention which opens
at that place today. They will select
the delegates to the state convention
which is to be held in Lincoln some
time in May. A general good time is to
be had at Weeping Water during this
county convention and great prepara
tion has been made for the amusement
and entertainment of the delegates
from over the county.
It is characteristic of the Woodmen
that they entertain and furnish amuse
ment for visiting delegations, and this
time is to be no exception. The boys
at Weeping Water know well the art of
entertaining, and are in all ways capable
of showing the visitors from elsewhere
over the county a merry time. Among
other things which is to be taken up is
the returning of Dr. E. W. Cook to the
state medical examinership. The mem
bership here feel very friendly towards
him, and wish to demonstrate it by
effecting his re-election to .the chair
which he occupies with the order at
present. Dr. Cook is in every way well
qualified to hold the position, and had
made an excellent record during his
incumbency in the office. The order at
this place has grown from fourteen
members whose names appear on the
charter, and of whom but two are now
here, they being Dr. Cook and Jesse L.
Root, until at the present time they
have the largest single lodge in the city.
Among those who went to Weeping
Water today were C. E. Crabill, Geo.
Luscinsky, Henry R. Gering, Lester
Burrows, Dr. E. W. Cook.
THIRTY EIGHT YEARS
FAITHFUL SERVICE
Such Had Been The Life of Washing
ton Smith, Duriug His Resi
dence in Plattsmouth
Working at the trade of Pattern mak
er, some thirty-eight years ago, when
he came to this city, a young man just
approaching his prime, Washington
Smith, spent his best years in the
Plattsmouth shops. The last few years
has seen his health so decline that it
was made imperative, that he take
some rest, and seek if possible to re
gain in a measure his lost health. So
some time since he tendered his resign
ation to tak? effect with the closing of
the month of March. Mr. Smith, after
having been in the employ of the Bur
lington for about five years was pro
moted to the position of foreman of
the coach shops which position he has
maintained until the close of yesterdays
business, when his resignation took ef
fect. Mr. Smith after thirty right
years of service for the Burlington
steps out, with the confidance of the
company, in everyway, and the love and
respect of his fellow man, and work
man with whom he mingled. He has
well earned the rest to which he is at
last accorded. The workmen of his de
partment in the shops, to show the
kindly feelings entertained for him,
made up a purse, and bought an eleg
ant sofa, which will be an aid in the
taking of the rest which his years of
work entitle him.

Tht-U. N. C's Give a Very Pleasant
Party Last Evening at Home
Of Miss Carrie Oliver
In accordance with the time honor
ed, practice it seems but natural to
laugh at the contretemps of the friends
whom you have helped entrap. So last
evening at the home of Mrs. Carrie
Oliver, three of the U. N. C's, gave an
entertainment which for the pure fun
of the thing, and they surely got a
good deal of fun out of the evening's
entertainment. The ones giving the
affair were, Misses Hattie Taylor,
Blanche Mougey and Villa Gapin. They
played games and pranks on each other
and everyone was something new. Af
ter all had laughed themselves sore,
they served refreshmeuos.
Those present were Misses Elsa
Thierolf, Hattie Hofman, Gertude
Morgan, Leona Assemissen, Jennie
Marks, Blanche Barker, Katharine
Schrack, Hattie Taylor, Villa Gapen,
Ruth Melboune, and Blanche Mougey.

THE
Showing the Attendance, Tardiness and Pro
gress Hade With a Nigh Average of Per
centage, for the Entire Schools, the
Average Being Ninety-four
The reports sent out from the State
Department showing the results of the
examinations taken by the members of
our Normal Training Class, were very
gratifying. At the present rate of
progress the majority of the members
of the class will hold teachers certifi
cates at the time of graduation.
We wish to again call to attention of
the patrons to the fact that classes for
beginners will be formed Monday,
April 6. If you have children that you
wish to have enter, please send them
at this time. Children under five years
of ago will not be admitted to these
classes.
The base ball season of the Platts
mouth High school will probably open
April 27. Principal Brooks already has
requests for games from several
schools and will have the schedule ar
ranged in the near future. While we
are not very well supplied with ex
perienced material yet we will have a
very good team in the field.
The usual hard luck which has so
persistently attended the efforts of the
High school for the past several years
in contests with other school, char
acterized the recent Plattsmouth,
Weeping Water debate. While our
girls easily won honors so far as argu
ment was concerned, their arguments
being practically unanswerable, yet
they were unable to hold their own
with their opponents in the presenta
tion of their material. However they
did exceedingly well considering the
fact that they had very little time for
preparation. We were fairly beaten,
have no sore spots, and certainly ap
preciate the treatment accorded us by
Supt. Clark and the students. The re
turn debate will take place early next
year.
The students and teachers will be
given a day's vacation on Friday of
this week. This will be the only vaca
tion this spring. The teachers and most
of the Normal Trainers will spend the
day at the East Central Nebraska
Teachers Association at South Omaha.
And by the way our citizens will have
an opportunity of hearing at a small
cost some most excellent addresses by
such men as Dr. Quayle of Chicago,
Dr. M. V. Oshea of the University of
Wisconsin, and Governor Buchtel of
Colorado one of the foremost orators of
the day. The enrollment fee is fifty
cents. This entitles the person en
rolled to the priveleges of the entire
meeting and admits to all sessions. Ad

Mrs C. B. Sowards departed last
evening for Murray, la., where she will
visit for some time with relatives, while
Mr. Soward moves to the homestead
in Sheridan county, this state, near

this evening. Mr Soward will finish
loading his car sometime this afternoon.
There he will take up a homestead un

some 640 acres of land.
The A. O. U. W. hall is being repair

ha. We should have a good delegation
from Plattsmouth especially at the
Thursday and Friday evening meet
ings. One of the hardest and most import
ant questions with which a BUjerin
tendent has to deal is the arrangement
of the course of study. At the present
time when so many new things are
clamoring for recognition and so many
new features are being introducted into
the schools it is especially difficult. We
are considering a few changes to meet
the demands of the new course as out
lined in the High school manual. The
greatest weakness of the High school
course in our school is that it has been
too indefinite. We hope to be able to
have the permanent course prepared,
and in print before the end of the term
that students may have an opjor
tunity of becoming thoroughly familiar
with it before taking up the selection
of the work for next years. We have
had too many electives and not enough
requirements for the best interests of
the students. Students would do well
to consult with their parents and teach
ers before choosing the course, especi
ally the students who enter High school
for the first time.
