There was considerable excitement at-

score for Omaha made by a field kick

Omaha team also distinguished himself
throughout by his clever playing and
mastery of the details of the game.
The Plattsmouth score was made by
straight line bucks through the Omaha

Fire last Saturday night swept away
the home of Albert O'Neill on the Iowa
side of the river, opposite this city.
The loss was total, Mr. O'Neill not be

not there was insurance on the property

Leonard, the half back, played a good
game, especially on runs around the
right end. Beal was also responsible
for good gains, making a fine run and
aiding largely in the victory of Platts-

Prof. Gamole who managed the local
team was highly elated at the showing

Death" and in the afternoon he preach
ed to men on "The Unpardonable Sin. "
In the evening he preached before a
jury of twelve men bringing Jesus to
trial on the fact of his divinity and not

Wash Young's Shop Broken Into.
I' rem .Mniiii.iy's liiiily
Wash Young came to town this after
noon from his shop four miles west cf
the cy and reported to Sheriff Quin
ton that during his absence someone
had broken the lock upon the door of
the shop, in fact, almost destroying the
door and after effecting an entrance
had robbed the shop of screw plates,
taps, dies and other mechanical tools to
the value of not less than fifty dollars.
Mr. Young returned yesterday morning
from a visit to his brother at Daven
port, la., and immediately discovered
the robbery. It is but a short time
since he was robbed of tools of consid
erable value and he had just replaced
thorn. He is much puzzled why he is
being constantly picked for these rob
beries and proposes to make it warm
for the parties if he can locate them.
He has suspicions as to who did the job
but desires to be sure of his ground be
fore taking action.
In Peliee Court.
Krom Monday's Dally
Arthur Jacobi, one of Judge Archer's
especial favorites, was a visitor to his
palatial quarters this morning and drew
a prize in the shape of a fine of Five
Dollars and costs, the result of too
much Barleycorn last Saturday. Artie
did not restrain his passionate desire
for red eye on the day in question and
became seized with the idea that he
was a human calliope or something of
that kind with the result that the police
raided him and escorted him to the city
jail where he stayed over Sunday, the
guest of Jailer Manspeaker. This
morning his statement to the court as
to the reasons for his festive condition
failed to satisfy the Court and the eel
ebrated Brand of Justice was applied
with the eifect as stated above. Inde
fault of the wherewithal to liquidate,
Artie is now in durance vile to remain
until justice hath been did.
Will Surely be Ci:iit.
! From indisputable source the Journal
j learns that the proposed new subway
i under the Burlington tracks will surely
j be built. An individual with close
acquaintance with Vice-President Wil-
lard states that when the matter was
called to his attention he was at once
in favor of it and gave instructions to
have the work proceed. It was sugges
ted that the city should be asked to
pay for the grading and he replied that
it was a Burlineon project and that
the road should bear the expense.
This insures the building of the cross
ing and will consumate a move which
should have been done years ago. The
work will be hurried to completion at
once so that it may be done before
frost comes too heavy to allow work to
proceed.
In County Court.

Judge J. II. Broady, a notice of
whose death was published in these
columns Saturday, was laid at rest

"Kcv. W. W. Lawrence of the Lirst
1'resbyterian church had charge of the
services in the very rnorn where a lew
weeks before he had performed the
marriage ceremony of the youngesi
daughter of the deceased. W. J.
Bryan was present. He was to have
been one of the pall bearers, changing
his speaking itinerary so that he could
serve. He was, however, unable to
serve and Dr. II. J. Winnett took his
place. Mr. Bryan made a few remarks
on the death of his friend and political
adviser. He said that for sixteen years
Judge Broady had been his close friend
and he had come to love him only as
one must do who had known him so
intimately. He comforted the bereaved
family, telling them that as the dear
est friends are called to cross into the
great beyond the terrors of death lose
much of their sting and the hope of
meeting those who had gone first grows.
Rev. Mr. Lawrence followed Mr. Bryan
with a short service ending with a
prayer.
"The pall bearers were: Dr. P. L.
Hall, Dr. H. J Winnett. Richard L.
Metcalfe, F. W. Schwind, Judge C. B.
Lettor. and Judge Kelligar of Auburn.
Judges Letton and Killigar were form
erly judges of the First judicial district
where Judge Broady served on the
bench for eight years.
"Several relatives from out of the
city were present, together with all
the children living. Among these were:
MrB. Horace Shafer of Auburn, sister
of Mrs. Broady; Mr. Shafer, Cyrus
Townsend of Clay Center, Neb., broth
er of Mrs. Broady; Captain J. J. Mer
cer and E . W. Thomas of Omaha. Mrs.
John Tighe and JoBeph Cornelius of
Auburn. Mr. Broady's brothers from
Kansas and Illinois were present dur
ing part of the illness but were unable
to be present at the funeral."
Diptheria in Stenner Family.
From Monday's Dally
Owing to the prevalence of diptheria
in the family, Miss Gertrude Stenner,
one of the teachers in the public
schools, has obtained a leave of absence
and her place will be taken by Miss
Winnifred Perry, of Omaha, who arriv
ed this morning to assume charge of
the school. While there was no danger
in Miss Stenner continuing to teach, it
was thought best not to alarm those
having children in her classes by her
remaining at her duties hence her leave
of absence. This action was taken
after a consultation with Supt. J. W.
Gamble who believed it advisable in
order to prevent any possible alarm.
The many friends of Miss Stenner
while regrettinir the necessity of this
action commend her fore-thought in so
doing, and trust she will soon be back
at her services.
Sjn Hatches Chickens.
A Madison county farmer not long
ago found that a hen had been lading
eggs in the seed box of a corn planter
which stood on the south side of his
barn. To protect the eggs from the
heat of the sun until he should have
time to carry them to the house he
closed down the lid and then forgot all
about them. Some time later he hap
pened along there and heard a noise in
the seed box. On raising the lid he was
astonished to see that the eggs had all
hatched out, the warmth in the box
from the sun each day having done the
incubating.
R. A. Bates I!!.
R. A. Bates, the publisher cf the
Journal, has been confined to his bed
the result of ulceration of the bowels.
Mr. Bates' condition, while not danger
ous, is of so serious a nature that his
physician commanded him to take to
his bed until proper medical attention
could be given him. It is expected that
he can soon be out again, although an
operation may become necessary should
he not improve rapidly.
Monuments Unveiled.
Last Sunday afternoon the members
of the Woodmen of the World held an
unveiling at Oak Hill cemetery, the
monuments unveiled being those of the
late Fred Kroehler and (lua Rhode.
There was a lartre attendance of mem
bers present and the exercises were of
the beautiful and impressive nature
which the ritual of the order provides
for. The program was in charge of
Hon. J. L. Root, Grand Sovereign of
Kvergreen lodge, who acted as master
of ceremonies, and included an address
by Hon. B. S. Ramsey, the reading of
that gem of poetry "dray's Elegy in
a Country Churchyard" by Hon. R. B.
Windham and music by the Aeolian
Quartette. Perhaps no more impres
sive ceremony could have been given
than that of this noble order which
numbers among its members the best
and uiot inlormed fraternal insuran .

which accompany the unvciliiiH of these

A Peculiar Accidenl
Last Sunday Mrs. Jos. Thompson suf
fering a very painful and peculiar acci
dent. She was sitting down and had
been .sitting for sometime when .she
started to rise from the chair. Being
a large, heavy woman she had no soon
er risen than her ankle gave way and
she was compelled to resume her seat.
She made a second attempt and again
was compelled to give up the task.
There seemed to be no pain in the ankle j
and it seemed to be entirely numb. Be
coming somewhat alarmed, she began
rubbing the leg and ankle and as soon
as circulation was restored the ankle
began to pain her very severely. She
at once had medical assistance summon
ed and it was found that she was suffer
ing from a bad sprain of the ankle.
The physician was with her the greater
portion of the night endeavoring to
allay the pain. This morning she was
resting much better but it will be some
time before she will be able to be
about.
Delayed a Short Time.
From Tuesday's Dally
The fast mail this noon was delayed
some fifteen minutes, caused by an east
bound freight train pulling out a draw
bar while on the bridge. The freight
went on into the junction with the fust
section of the train leaving the rear
portion standing on the bridge and the
main line. The engine had to come
back after this section, the mail train
following it out to the bridge switch
where the mail headed in and allowed
the freight to pass after which it came
on to this city. Had the freight con
ductor set out the car with the draw
bar out at the switch and returned for
his freight, the delay could have been
avoided.
