TlIUllsDAY, DKCUMHKK 10, liK)S I SCtltll Ml LAID AT E3 Lasl Sad Riles Paid to Loving Mother and From Monthly's Tally. The funeral of Mrs. Anna Schnei der, mention of w;icse death was made in the Journal lust Thursday, took place Saturday afternoon from the church at Cedar Creek, and was very largely attended, old friends and neighbors gathered from miles around to pay a last tribute of respect to this noble lady. Rev. J. II. Sulsbury of this city delivered the funeral address, anil was at his best in drawing elo quent lessons from the pure and noble life which this good woman hnd led. He pointed out for the benefit of those lefe behind her Christian forbearance and spartan fortitude in bearing with the pains and ills of this life, and the Christian spirit which had strengthened her In her last hours in the vale. The sermon was touching and one calculated to move the already bleeding hearts to further sorrow at their loss. A quartette composed of Messrs. B. A. McEl waln, Geo. L. Farley, Mrs. J. W. Gamble and Miss Estelle lialrd sang a number of beautiful and touching selections. Miss Cole officiated at the organ. The pall bearers were Messrs. Chas. C. Hennings, John A. Hennings, Geo. P. .Meislnger, Peter Meisinger, Philip Stoehr and John P. SOME SEVERE Pfll II I'llcATIIED UULU WhA I libit ; The Weather Bureau, However, Prom ises Moderation Tonight. The snow which began falling here Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock con tinued without abatement until near ly midnight that night, the total fall being some four to six inches When thestorm commenced the weather was quite warm and the snow melted as it fell. Later the weather became colder and the ground speedily came white. Fortunately there was no wind with the snow and It did not drift. The snow was general over the eastern half of the state and there was no fall west of Kearney. It did not cause any delay to trains and all roads were reported as running on time yesterday. Late yesterday eve- ning the wind shifted to the north-j west and the thermometer took a rap- id and sharp fall going down last night to from ten to fourteen below zero, pretty sharp weather for this time of the year. This morning was a bright, sunny one but very cold. Yesterday was a great day for the rabbit hunters and boys and men swarmed out into the fields and along the banks of the Platte and Missouri Rivers searching for game. Most of them were moderately successful and he was a poor hunter who returned to v his home in the evening without at leas one or two rabbits as trophies of his skill. One of the most beautiful sights of nature could have been seen this morning as the effect of the cold weather. That was the Bteam rising from the current of the Missouri River which Is still open though greatly choked by floating Ice. This steam rose high in the air and ob scured fie sun at times. It looked white ai.J vapory. In the higher at mosphere like smoke and the general impression when viewing this mani festations of nature, was that of gaz ing upon a long line of prairie fire, or perhaps the smoke of myriad ramp fires stretched out along the eastern horizon like the camp of a great army. As the sun rose higher and warmed the air, this beautiful spec tacle faded gradually away like the dying smoke of a deserted camp. Many at the depot marveled at the wondrous sight. The weather bureau predicts warm er weather tonight and tomorrow so that our coat of the beautiful may not wear long. Dyspepsia Is America's curse. Bur dock Dlood Bitters conquers dyspep sia every time. It drives out Impur ities, tones the stomach, restores per fect digestion, normal weight and good health. an Affectionate Wife, Respected Lady. Keil, all old and respected friends and neighbors of Mrs Schneider. Inter ment was at Walnult cemetery near Cedar Creek. Mrs. Kosn Schneider was burn in Switzerland on October 2."., 1 S 1 1 and at the time of her death had reached the age of sixty seven years, one mouth and eight days She was mar ried to Jacob Schneider who still sur vives her many years ago, they mov ing to Cedar Creek some thirty-live years since where they have resided continuously. There were bur two children of tills union, Henry A. Schneider, the present register of deeds, and Anilel, a sun, now resident of Ogden, Ctall Grandma Schneider, as she was familiarly known, by all her wide cir cle of friends and acquaintances, had long been a sufferer from an incura ble complaint and her death was not unexpected During nil her long ill ness she bore the pain and suffering with splendid fortitude and went to the great beyond with her soul soothed and quieted by a knowledge that she was going to a better land. For the bereaved husband and sons the utmost sympathy of the entire jcommunity goes out and in their grief 'and sorrow all must share. Observations liy a Business Man. Standing in the dorway of my store Sil,unlay morning I saw a great many people walking hurriedly east on .Main street. Upon Inquiry I was informed that that was the regular crowd of people of Plattsmouth and vhinlty who take the train to do shopping out of the city who take Kreat pleasure in chasing from one store to another in search of those so- ralled "Great Ilargains." Now, every business man knows that the man or woman having read their extensive ads has come to buy, of course that gives an opportunity to clean up on other lines not con- be-jtnined in advertisements. I believe Judicious newspaper advertising "s a medium, but everybody knows jtlmt a great many come hack home Idlsappolnted because there was not enough "bnrgalns" to go around, and !if those who got there first and bought will take a pencil and com pare quality and prices they will find, In nine cases out of ten. that they could have done about as well at their home store without losing so much more time. The home business man is entitled to your trade, as he pays taxes and In vests his money where you live. When you have a celebration of any kind you ask him for a liberal sub script Inn. In case of drouth he car rles you along with the necessities of life. When the husband and fath er Is thrown out of employment or when sickness visits the home you ask him to wait, or when you have some butter or a basket of eggs to sell you expert him to buy of you paying therefor all your produce Is worth. If you want to live in and have a prosperous community patronize your nearest business man. Sold the Goods. From Monilny's I 'ally. Constable Jack Denson this morn ing sold at public Bale on the south steps of the court house, the stock of wines, liquors and cigars attached in the case of Relnhackel vs. Benfer. The goods brought the sum of $ 4 8 . 6 . r which after the costs of the case have been paid will leave Relnhackel a small sum to apply on his judgment against Henfer. The purchasers were mostly saloon men who could handle the stock which consisted chiefly of cigars. Condition Not So Good. From Momlny'i Pally. The condition of Ernest Smith, the boy who broke his leg while work ing at the elevator, Is reported this morning as not so favorable. He pasned a very restless night and seemed to suffer considerable pain. It Is thought, however, that this con dition Is but temporary and that he will come around all right In the proper course of time. Slowly luipi-ovlng. From MoiiiIuv'h Pally.

LATTSMOUTH NEWS BANKRUPT iabilities $8,491,39; Assets $4,800, Including Printing Plant. George I,. Farley, publisher of the Cvening News and the Semi-Weekly News-Herald, last Saturday filed u petition In the Federal district court Lincoln in bankruptcy. The peti tion was referred by Judge M linger to Referree McDonald at Omaha as it could be more conveniently handled at that point than any other Mr. Farley's petition recites that his lia bilities are$8.4ti!t.:i!l and his assets are roundly put at $4, Soil which In- ludes the plant of the News Print ing company. Congressman K. M. Pollard is the principal creditor, his bill against Mr. Farley being put at S4.2;iO. County Commissioner Fiied- rlc-h Is also a creditor to the extent of $',.10 while C. S. and .1. L. Polk have a n indebtedness of $ I, lion due them. Justus Lillic, living south of the city In Rock Bluff precinct, is a creditor to the amount of $:!(ii). The First National Bank of this city has the small sum of $.1(1 due them, this being the balance due on an indebted ness of $1,"i0. Judge J L. Root and Byron Clark are joint creditors for OS. The trade is a creditor to the extent of some $.".nn or $fi(in, tin- largest end of which Is owing the Carpenter Paper Company amounting to $11!). The Marshall Paper Com pany Is also quite heavily Involved. It has been known for a long time- that the News was heavily involved and repeated rumors of an applica tion for a trustee has be-n heard. Matters had been going from bail to worse and for the last three weeks the help at the plant bad been going without their pay. It Is probable that a call for a meeting of the creditors to elect a trustee will be Issued within a few days and several gentlemen have been mentioned as probable trustees, among them bc-Ing J. I-;. Douglass who has been acting as news editor of the paper for sometime past, and A. L. Tldd, lately republican candi date for county attorney It Is more than probable that one of these two gentlemen will be chosen. Cut II the triistee Is selected It cannot be told what the policy will be In regard to handling the property. The News-Herald 1h an old estab lished newspaper In this city, their weekly dating back to close to thirty years while the dally was printed for eighteen years. The suspension of the dally last Monday was the first premonition of the coming failure to reach the general public. County Attorney Rawls filed the petition for Mr. Farley and will rep resent him in the litigation. Just who will look after the interests of the heavy creditors Is not known but presumably they will all be reprc sented by the same party. May Add to Plant. From Monday's Dnlly. P. G. Kgenberge-r departed this morning for Omaha where lie will visit the various machinery houses and Inspect the latest improved ma chlnery for bottling establishments with a view of Installing a set of new and up-to-date machine. Mr Egenbcrgc-r has built up a flourish Ing business in (his line and It is his Intention to keep his plant up to the top notch so that hi patrons can always be assured of the very best products. While his plans are not yet formed for the coming sen son, It Is safe to say that If he finds what he hopes to find In Omaha, the machinery will shortly arrive and be placed In position. Tho addition of new- machinery means an additional expense but It will enable him to handle orders promptly and cconom Ically. Slop it Right Now The police could very well have found something Saturday night to have taken ii their time, had they kept a little closer watch u:on the siilllll bins w ho were piling III tin i 1 time sncwballing people on the streets. The case in pi Int was thill of a young woman who was walking hip the (reel in the early evening alone.

She went in si arch i f an officer hut was utterly unable to locate any of them. On occasions such as that night one of the duties of the office is should be to see that this pastime Is out to an i nd to. Such practices should be c becked right in the i oui-mi-ncemcnt and lint permitted to run on until it is too late to get control over the boys. May Locate In City. From .MiiiiiIiiv'h Pally. Rev. Moore, of Missouri, preached yesterday at the Christian rhun h and will spend the remainder of tin- week in looking over the Held with a view to locating. lie will preach again Wednesday night and everyone Is Invited to at tend. Rev. Moore Is a pleasing speaker and it is to lie hoped he will 11 nd the field here to his lik ing as well as receive the proper en couragement for locating here The congregation last evening was very much pleased at his discourse which was a very scholarly address TO GLEAN UP THE DOCKETS Clients Do Not Desire Their Cases to Remain on the Dockets for Years nun .Mummy Pally. Ill the case of Mulb mix vs. Gump. hich was on trial yesterday to a Jury tlnr court decided to adjourn tin- earing until Monday and excused the Jury until that time, and this morning he trek up the hearing of the arguments in the case of Stone s.

Judge Travis has I n holding ourt both day and night to enable him to get through with all of On uses and dispose of them, if possi ble be-fore the close of the term, lie Is one of the few judges who seems to want to get things out of the way and makes the attorneys hustle and lean up the docket, rather than to permit the cases to drag. He believes that the clients do not want their cases to remain on the docket for years and thus drag out matters that might be settled and disposed of promptly rather than have them drag and thus be annoying. Nebraska City News. Judge Travis has been on the dls- trlct court bench less than a year and the people of both Otoe and Cass counties are rapidly finding out that he surely Is tho "right man In the right place," The business coming before him must be dispatched. II has no favorites among attorneys They all appear alike to him while he Is on the bench. Judge Travis possesses one of the most complete law libraries In Nebraska, and when he is not on the bench he applies himself to reading up on various cases that are to come up in his court. He Is one of the most stu dious Judges In the state, and what this paper prophesied be fore bis elec tion he would bear the distinction of being the foremost district Judge.' in Nebraska, has already bee n demon strated. It Is a gnut pty that our supreme court Judges do not possess the legal ability of Judge Travis. Sucker Will Bite. The mall order houses of the east are offering sugar at $1.7.1 per hun dred pound sack, but when the sinkers" send In their order, with other goods the sugar Is Just out, and the other goods will come, at a high er price than the local mere hunt charges.
