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.
Beginning next Monday the school
censes for the city district will be taken.
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.
J. W. Amick Injured.
J. W. Amick was injured last week,
but not serously. He was turning some
horses out to pasture, when he was
thrown down and struck on the back of
his head, also bruising his back. He
lay unconscious for about an hour when
discovered and taken into the house.
Dr. Richard was called to attend his
injuries, and his patient was able to
come to town Friday. Weeping Water

BURGLARS IN
TOWN AGAIN
They Enter the Home of Mrs.
Beeson But Were
Scared Away.
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.
