HURRAY PEOPLE SHOW HELPING HAND Action ot Commissioners in Matter Severely Criticised. Some three months ago employes of the Missouri Pacific railroad unloaded a woman, helpless from rheumatism, at Murray, and since that time she has been confined to her bed, being placed in the depot by the company. She gave the name of Mrs. Wagner and had four children with her. Efforts to learn where she came from or other informa tion, so that arrangements might be made to have her taken care of, were unavailing, and her plight became such that the utmost sympathy was aroused in the neighborhood. It was determined to have an effort made to have the county commissioners look after the case, and Dr. B. F. Brendel took the matter up with them. He asserts that a promise was made that the case would be handled by them, but so far nothing has been done. Her condition has become such that it is necessary she receive more careful attention than could be given her under the circumstances, and Rev. Lucas took the matter in hand, starting a subscrip tion and raising enough money to have the unfortunate woman taken to the Burlington Junction Springs, Mo., where she will be maintained for a while. Rev. Lucas took her down there last night. The action of the county commission ers has aroused much feeling in the neighborhood, as the citizens of Murray seem to think the case one deserving of handling by the county instead of by individuals. Storm Damage. During the electrical storm last Sat urday evening,, in which considerable damage was done in the vicinity of Plattsmouth, the barn of Nicholas Klaurens was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Mr. Klaurens got his live stock out, but his harness and hav were completely lost. His loss was about $400, which was mostly cow ered by insurance in the Nebraska Un derwriters Insurance company of Oma ha, which was adjusted last Tuesday. Fell From Barrel. While Mrs. Jenkins was engaged in picking cherries one day last week, standing on the top of a barrel, the barrel slipped and Mrs. Jenkins was precipitated to the ground, striking her arm against the ground, so as to dislo cate it at the elbow. The injured mem ber is now improving. Eldorado Castor Machine Oil at 35c per gallon. Get your supply now. James Loughridge. AND VICINITY" ESPECIALLY in thy vicinity and tct'M mail same to this DEATH OF MIS. ELLEN W. ROBB Passes Away at the Home of Her Grandson, Hugh Robb, near Onion, Sunday. The following account of the death of Mrs. Ellen W. Robb, which occurred at the old homostead, south of Union, Sunday, July 28, 1908, is taken from the Nebraska City Daily News: Another of the pioneers has passed to "the great beyond." This time it is Ellen W., widow of the Hon. F. W. Robb, who has been called upon to pay the debt all must pay. Mrs. Robb had been in rather feeble health for some time, owing to her advanced age, and a few days ago suffered a stroke of par alysis, which terminated fatally. For some time she has been living on the old home farm with her grandson, Hugh Robb, and at the time of her death was surrounded by members of her family, her son, Mont Robb, daughter, Mrs. Fenn; her sister, Mrs. Lightfoot of Philadelphia, Pa., and her granddaugh ter, Mrs. Thomas Cranwell of Syracuse, N. Y., and several other grandchildren being present. Mrs. Robb was born in Clinton town ship, Lycoming county, Pa., Feb. 28th, 1826, her maiden name being Ellen W. Montgomery, and she was married to Mr. Robb, June 23, 1846. Five chil dren were born to them, of whom two are now living W.H.M. Robb and Mrs. Amelia Fenn. Mr. and Mrs. Robb crossed the Missouri river at Wyoming June 23, 1856, and settled in Wyoming precinct, where the family home has since been. They were enthusiastic members of the Episcopal church, being the first members in that precinct and did a great deal in establishing the church. Bishop Talbot preached the first sermon of the Episcopal church in that precinct at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robb. Mrs. Robb had a large acquaintance, especially among those who came here at an early date . She was a kind, gen tle, loving mother; as a neighbor none better could be asked, and in church work she was always in the lead. The funeral was held Tuesday after noon at 2 o'clock from the Episcopal church at Wyoming, and the services were conducted by Rev. W. Barnes, of this city. A Pleasant Gathering. The Journal a few days since made mention of the return of Mrs. A. B. Taylor and her son, William, from Fur nas county, Neb., where they had been visiting and looking after some business matters. And also mentioned the fine gathering and the excellent reunion the former Cass county citizens enjoyed while they were there. Following is a more extended account of the gathering from a former Cass county resident, who lives there. Old friends gathered Sunday, June 14th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. H . Chriswisser, seven miles southeast of Beaver City, the occasion being in honor of Mrs. A. B. Taylor, of Platts mouth, and son, William, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Everyone enjoyed themselves by visiting and talking over old times, making them think of child hood days once more. At the usual hour a large table was spread by all, and most numerous and delicious dainties were served. Those present were: Mrs. A. B. Taylor, Plattsmouth; William Taylor, Oklahoma City, Z. W.

WEDDING BELLS RING AT HURRAY Mr. Edward Stiner and Miss Marie Berger United in Wedlock. One of the prettiest weddings that Murray has had on record, is that of Edward Stiner, of Rawlins,. Wyo., and Miss Marie Berger, of Murray. The ceremony took place last Wednesday, June 24th. at 8:30 p. m., at the resi dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Berger. About one hun dred guests were present and listened to the impressive ceremony as perform ed by Rev. Lucas of the Christian Church. The bride who is one of Cass County's most charming and attractive young women was given away by her father, and was most befittingly attired in a handsome white chiffon gown over silk. She was attended by Miss Zetta Brown, as bridesmaid, while Marjorie and Marie Schroeder, Lena Hatchet and Lora Brown were ribbon bearers. The flower girl was Miss Katherine Berger,. a niece, and the ring bearer was Miss Katherine Brown, also a niece. The best man was Geo. Berger a brother of the bride. Immediately following the ceremony a reception was had by the newly wedded couple at which delicious re freshments were served. The couple departed on the midnight train for an extended tour. As has been said before, the bride is one of Cass County's handsomest young ladies, a lady of great attainment in every way and one well beloved by a great nnmber of friends. The groom is a most exemplary young man, one whose host of friends speak by their numbers as to his superior character and worth. In company with all who know the happy couple the Journal extends con gratulations. To Sell or Exchange! Will sell or exchange for farm land, my two-story, 7 room brick residence in Plattsmouth.
