ACTING MAYOR
SATTLER'S STAND
Tells Journal
He Stands on
During the past few months there
been considerable talk in and around
the city as to my position on the
lighting question, the present and
most luiporlaut question now before
the city council, and as I have never
made a statement in print as to my
position, I take this opportunity of In
forming the people and taxpayers
of the city of Plattsmouth, as is
commonly termed, "just where I am
at."
I contend for a proposition that
will light the entire city, not one
selected portion, and that with elec
tricity, and not gas, also that the
can and will be furnished for $1,500
per year, if not by the Ne
braska Lighting Company, by some
one who will for that price. There
is now in the city treasury $1,600,
placed there by the taxpayers of the
city, as a lighting fund, as per the
levy made by the council about one
year ago; and that is why I have tak
en the position that all sections of
our city is entitled to light.
Ice Cutting Resumed.
From Wednesday's Pally.
This morning was a much more
agreeable one that has been experi
enced for the past few days. The
thermometer stood at fifteen above
zero at the depot at eight o'clock
and a south wind was blowing. While
the wind was penetrating and chilling
it had lost much of Its coldness In the
night. The weather indications for
today are for fair and warmer and
for Thursday Indicating cloudiness,
with warmer in west portion. This
seems to indicate a cessation of the
cold snap for several days at least,
a welcome change to most people.
Ice cutting was again resumed
this morning, F. G. Egcnborger's
forces commencing cutting at their
field opposite the city while Col.
H. C. McMaken's forces were at work
on the straight lake, getting a su
perior quality of ice about ten inches
in thickness. Col. McMaken, who is
an ardent admirer of Hicks, the St.
Louis weather prophet, says that
there Is no doubt of there being all
the ice in the world this winter tnd
people need not worry over the su
pply being short. He says that Prof.
Hicks has hit the weather to the dot
every time this winter and tha h
has absolute faith in thers being
more ice than be handled.
Running: Gets Good Ones.
Senator Banning landed well in
the selection of committees of the
senate, and bids fair to make a record
as one of the workers of that body.
He is made chairman of the commit
tee on Highways, Bridges and Fer
ries, one of the most important of
the senate and is also a member of
the committee on Engrossed and En
rolled bills of the Judiciary com
mittee probably the most important
committee In the senate, Public
Lands and Buildings another espec
ially important committee, State
Prison, University and Normal
Schools another committee which
will have its work cut out. for it, and
Drainage. It can be seen that he
drew excellent committees throughout
and that his influence in the legisla
ture will be much felt.
Mrs. Nemetz Operated Upon.
From Wednesday' Pally.
Word has been received from John
Nemetz, in attendance at the bed
side of his wife in Omaha, where she
was operated upon yesterday, that
Mrs. Nemetz was operated upon at
12 o'clock and passed through the
ordeal nicely. The operation was
a critical one and the lady stood it
remarkably well. While it is too
early yet to venture a prediction as
to her complete recovery, there Is
every reason to believe that she will
successfully weather the illness and
that the operation will bo a com
plete success. This Is the hope of
her many friends w ho heard the news
of her successful coping with the
operation with Joy.
Home Interest Inn Figures.
Frrim Wednesday's Pally.
Register of Deeds Schneider has
compiled some very interesting fig
ures on the mortgnge Indebtedness
of the county and city for the past
year. They show that during the
past year there has been filed In the
county 158 farm mortgagee amount
iug to $118,116 uhllo there was re
leased 213 mortgages amounting to
$4 40,117. Of city mortgages there
was filed 116 of the amount of $!)!,
S21 and released 116 amounting to
$70,242. This showing would Imll
cate that while the farming Interests
are reducing their mortgage Indrbt
edness the city folks aro adding to
theirs.
Readers Where
Light Question
I am also in favor of the company
securing the city contract be regu
lated in some manner as to the prices
on rates made the private consumer,
for both light nd power.
Also in favor of a reduction of the
gas rate to $1.50 per thousand cubic
feet, which seems to be the estab
lish rate adopted by other cities of
our class in the state.
I am In favor of the home com
pany first, last and all the time if
they are willing to accept such com
pensation from the city and the pri
vate consumers as other applicants
are willing to do.
What I want Is a contract that will
be right, now, and all time to come.
One that will give the people the
right prices for light, fuel and power.
Such a contract is what the people
and taxpayers want, and I believe
they are entitled to the same.
Yours truly,
John P. Sattler,
Acting Mayor.
Ice Crop Being Gathered.
From Wednesday's Pally.
The Burlington is now harvesting
large quantities of ice at Crystal
Lake near Dakota City, and this ice
is being used to fill the ice houses of
the company in eastern Nebraska.
It is of the correct thickness and
conies from a bass lake of dear wa
ter. A Sioux City company that has
the harvesting contract has placed
a large plant there for cutting and
loading, and any quantity can be se
cured. Reports yesterday from Crys
al Lake near Hastings is that is of
harvesting thickness and some will
be taken from that place for Hast
ings storage houses. The company
will get ice at Curtis for the Mc
Cook division houses. Unusual is
the report from Curtis. There ice
usually forms long before it is pos
sible to secure it in eastern Nebras
ka, but this year where twelve Inch
Ice Is being harvested in the eastern
half of the state tfie Ice at Curtis
Is said to lie but nine inches thick
Thicker Ice will be secured there
however, in a day or two, as it is
now reported to befreezind rapidly
Before ice had been formed in
eastern Nebraska twelve Inch ice was
reported at Marsland, four hundred
miles away from the Billings line,
bast year a large quantity was
brought to Lincoln from Marsland
because it could not be secured from
other places.
The ice field at Crystal Lake, Da
kota City, Is looked upon by Burling
ton people as quite an acquisition
Ice can be secured there every year
before it can be harvested in this ter
ritory, and the air line and water
grade from Ashland makes it pos
sible for the company to get it there
with little loss of time and with a
haul but little more than one hun
dred miles.
A Cure for Misery.
"I have found a cure for the mis
ery malaria poison produces," says
R. M. James of Louellen, S. C. It's
called Electric Bitters and comes in
50c bottles. It breaks up a case of
chills or billious attack in almost no
time; and it puts yellow Jaundice
clean out of commission." This great
tonic medicine and blood purifier
gives quick relief in all stomach,
liver and kidney troubles and the
mlseary of lame back. Sold under
guarantee at F. O. Frlckc & Co.'s
drug store.
Squirrels Kat leather.
From Wednesday's Dally.
L. F. Fitch was in the city today
from his farm below Rock Bluffs,
looking after some business matters
Among other things which brought
him to town was to have some har
ness repaired which the squirrels
had been making a meal on. While
It Is hard to believe he exhibited sev
eral pieces of harness which the an
Imals had eaten through, In fact,
eating out a piece of leather nearly
a foot in length in one place and
more than an Inch In width. He finds
that they have become a regulur
p.'st and Is anxious for the legls
lature to so amend the law as to per
mlt their slaughter. Their activity
had cost him some little money to
repair.

Earl Clark of this city has taken
the agency of the National Fidelity
& Casualty Company of Omaha, Neb.
for this city, Cedar Creek and Louis
ville and expects In the future to
devote his attention to the building
up of their business in this section.
It is quite needless to say a good
word for Mr. Clark w ho is well known
here, having been born and raised
in this city. He Is a young man of
ability and integrity, one well quail
fled to write the particular form of
insurance this company is making a
speciality of and in every respect
capable of making them a splendid
agent. The company he represents
Is a Nebraska corporation and con
sidered a good, safe and conservative
company. The policy contains all the
usual grounds which such policies
cover and is quite liberal in its pro
visions. Anyone contemplating
health or accident insurance would do
well to let Mr. Clark talk to them.

More TIimii Making (mmmI.
Some time ago mention was made
In these columns of the transfer of
the restaurant from Eary Barclay to
Hatt & Osborn and the statement
was that theso gentlemen would find
It hard to excell the excellent ser
vice established by Mr. Barclay. The
Journal Is now glad to note that the
new firm has made good. It ha
kept the patr6nage established by
Mr. Barclay anil added' to it. This
has been done by close attention to
business, the setting of a good and
trauiittble table and excellent gen
eral service. It is not too .uuch to
say that the present meals set in
this cafe are far superior to tlioso set
by any other establishment of a
like character In the city or in fact.
In any city of Its size in this section.
The bills of fare are changed every
day and something new is always
ready for service to the poojib. The
proprietors have learned that it payi
to vary the things furnished tho pat
rons and have found the tradv ap
preciates It. In addition to regular
meals, the house is prepared to serve
short orders including everything
that is eatable. The prices have been
fixed at a reasonable scale and every
effort Is made to please the public.
As both the proprietors are young
men, they are alive and full of gin
ger and want to make the business
a winning one. To this end they are
trying to secure the public patron
age, and they really deserve It. Not
alone are they accommodating, but
their waiters are also polite and
obliging while their chefs are the
best to be had In tho city. With
polite services and excellent cuisine,
little moro will be asked by the
public. A trial of their service will
result In established patronage be
yond question.
Largest in the World.
"We have what is declared to be tho
largest lee house in tho world over
at my home town of Ashland, Neb.,"
said J. B. LaChapelle, the former
well known Mills county editor.
while making a call yesterday at the
Tribune office.
We naturally asked him for some
of the particulars. The Ice house Is
the property of the Swift Packing
company, and if It Is not the largest
one In the world it certainly Is a
mammoth one any way.
Mr. LaChapelle said the force of
men began putting up the annual
pack there this week. To completely
fill the huge building requires about
one month and gives employment to
375 men. The building is over three
fourths of a mile in length some
4,000 feet to be exact. It is 34 feet
wide and 39 feet high. It has a ca
pacity of 100,000 tons.
The building Is divided luto 20
rooms or compartments, each 200
feet long and having a capacity of
five thousand tons. The Ice is taken
from an artificial lake of 200 acres.
The Ice Is now eight Inches thick.
It Is said that this Ice house has
only been filled to Its full capacity
twice In twelve years. Mills County
Tribune.
Rank Foolishness.
"When attacked by a cough or
cold, or when your thront Is sore, It
Is rank foolishness to take any other
medicine than Dr. ing's New Discov
ery," says C. O. Eldrldge of Empire,
Ga. "I have used New Discovery for
seven years and I know it is tho best
remedy on earth for caughs and
colds, croup, and all throat and lung
troubles. My children are subject to

It Wouldn't Burn.
There was an amusing Incident at
the K. P. banquet last night. It
was planned to burn the brandy on
the pudding In the presence of the
banqueters. All was In readiness,
the brandy was poured on and
match was applied, but the ding
busted stuff would not burn. Now,
several prominent citizens are ae.
cused of having drank the greater
