Plattsmouth and Cass county has been having more rain than we really need or wanted, but when we read of the serious floods they have been hav ing in Oklahoma, Texas and other points, we come to the conclusion that we have so far this season been very fortunate.

Some Desirable Information Regarding Such Cases Consul Church Howe of Manchester, England, has forwarded to the state li brary a copy of the London Gazette, con taining information in regard to how claimants may ascertain whether dorm ant funds are lying in .chancery for them and warning them against fraudulent claim agents who pretend to represent the courts of Eangland and who promise to recover funds in chancery or un claimed estates for fees or upon a per centage. Church Howe's letter to H. C. Lindsey accompanying the publication, is as fol lows : On account of the erroneous impres sion that there is in the keeping of the government of Great Briton estates covering millions upon millions of dol lars awaiting legal heirs, and from the fact that many letters are received at this consulate from Nebraska parties every year, making inquiries regarding estates in which they are under the im pression they are heirs to, I have mailed you, for filling in the state library, a copy of the last edition of the London Gazette, dated March 5, 1903, published officially by the authority of the British government, giving a list of the dorm ant funds now in the chancery division of the high court of justice. Attached to and made part of said publication, is an extract of report of Secretary White of the American em bassy, London, datedNovember 5, 1884, re garding unclaimed estates in England. That the members of the bar and in terested parties may know that this of ficial Gazette is on file in the state lib rary, will you kindly give said informa tion through the newspapers? I am, sir, your obedient servent. CHURCH HOWE Will Graduate This Evening. Dr. E. W. Cook, wife and son, Harris departed for Malvern, Iowa, this afternoon, where they go to visit with the Dr. twin brother, A. E. Cook and family, and to attend the commence ment exercises at the Malvern High school for this year. At the closing exercises, two of Dr. Cooks nephews will graduate, Carl and Kenneth. They are acquainted with many of our young men, having played in the city with the Malvern base ball, foot ball and basket ball teams. They are both young men of more than ordinary ability, and have a good promise of success before them. They are hard workers, and this coupled with their natural ability, insures for them success in whatever avenues they may choose to travel. -Will Take School Ccnsas.

Miss Anna Kanka has been selected as the one to take the census for the Second and Third wards; Miss Nellie Whalen for the Fourth and Fifth wards, while Miss Gertrude Morgan will take the census of the first ward.

At about midnight last night the house of Mrs. Allen Beeson was entered and an attempt made to burglarize the place, and but for the calling of Mr. John Beeson, by hi3 mother, would have succeeded. The family consisting of Mrs. Allen Beeson and daughter, Miss Gertrude, and 'son, John Beeson a id wife, slept in the upper portion of the house. The lower portion which i3 a basement, was entered through one of the windows, the entrance being gained into the dining room. Here they ransacked a sideboard and a dres ser throughout, but the upper drawer, which was locked. The dresser was an old one, just been painted, and had not dried sufficiently, and the fingers prints of the burglar were left on the new painted wood. In the top drawer was all the silverware, and some jew elry, and a watch or two. This being locked they did not get into. When he tried to force a door open whi'h led into an adjoining room, he awakened Mrs. Beeson, who called to her son, and frightened olF the burglar. No in vestigations were made in the base ment until this morning, when the door leading outside and the window through which he entered, was partly raised. Nothing was missed, but it is evident that the man left in a hurry, from the fact that he left the door standing wide open. Burlington Crop Report. A fine prospect of a big wheat crop on the Wymore and Lincoln divisions and a very fair one on the McCook division is the report of the Burlington crop expert for the past week. On the McCook division the straw will be short. On the two eastern di visions wheat has headed out and is in prime shape. No damage from insects is reported. Corn is out of the ground and grow ing nicely, the stand being good except on some of the bottom lands on the Wymore division, which has been wash ed out somewhat by recent floods. Spring grain is progressing welL There will be considerable more fruit in the eastern district than was sup posed there would be after the heavy frosts of the early part of the month. Sugar beets are growing well, pastures are excellent and stock is likewise. The rain of Saturday and Sunday ex tended over the McCook division which was needing moisture badly. On the eastern divisions the rains were heavier. A Deserved Promotion The Journal is pleased to learn that Miss Rebecca Haines has been em ployed in one of the departments of the Plattsmouth public schools for next year. Mis3 Haines has been teaching in the rural districts for several years and is at present in charge of the Becker school. Being a very close student in her profession, she has al ways given general satisfaction every where she has taught, and we are satis fied the board of education made r.o mistake in employing Miss Haines. the Construction Bugs Destroying Peach Trees. A little green bug of the winged variety is busy on the peach trees, are destroying the fruit and causing the leaves and fruit to drop. The little bugs are known as "ant cows" and a tree that it is "lousy" with them is sure to be the favorite resort of a million little red and black ante. These ants do not destroy the bugs, but milk them and live on the milk thus obtained. The rose bushes are afflicted the same way and they also are swarming with little green worms, which destroy the leaves as well as the blossoms. This is caused by the fact that we have had so much wet and cloudy weather. How- ever use a sprayer and dry powdered hellebore. Nebraska City News. Three Acres Short. Surveyor E. E. Hilton of Plattsmouth was in town last Thursday. He had been out to Peter Spangler's place, ad ioininT A. A. Larseh. to survev. It " " i was a vathpr noar trin for fnr .r Spangler if we are righly informed. that the survey shows Mr. Spangler about three acres of land short. The i p-nvprnmpnt. survev it artrt-ars was nut i correct insofar as the corner stones do not enclose full sections, but as deeds given call for so many acres more or less, each purchaser has r.o recourse. Mr. Lasch may conclude to move his line over on to that now occupied by Mr. Spangler, and if he dots the latter mav claim peaceable possession for ten years and have him restrained by in junction. And again they may settle their difference in a friendly way. Weeping Water Republican. Death at Union. A special irom iNeDrasiva iiy say. "Mrs. Sarah P. Clinkenbeard who was taken ill and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lynde, at Union, was i i" r l i - ' t brought to this city Tuesday and the remains placed to rest in the cemetery by the side of her husband who died years ago.
