Senator Banning Speak.
From Wedneiday's Dally.
State Senator W. B. Banning last
evening addressed quite a represen
tative gathering or citizens at the
Presbyterian church, speaking upon
the topic of the "Laws Passed by the
Legislature." Considerable Interest
was aroused in Senator Banning's ad
dress as It was thought he would en
ter upon an explanation of several of
hit votes In the legislature Includ
ing the vote he cast for the daylight
saloon bill and his vote on the Dona
hoe bill to take away from local
authorities and the people the right
to regulate their local cor
porations and vest that power
In the state railway commission. He
did not touch upon the latter topic,
however, and only Incidentally upon
the former.
Senator Banning did deliver, how
ever, a very entertaining and In
structive talk upon many of the laws
which had been placed upon the
books. He spoke at some length up
on the doings of the legislature and
discussed the ultimate effect of many
of the laws which had been placed up
on the books. He spoke at some
length upon the bllljwhleh passed
creating a revolution Tti the manner
of electing judges of the state su
preme court,, the district and county
courts explaining that under the pro
vslons of the new laws, these officials
will be elected hereafter by petition
without party designation on the bal
lot, all going on by virtue of signed
petitions. This change is expected to
largely aid in making the bench non
partisan In character.
He also touched at length upon
the bank guaranty law passed by the
legislature and showed the strong
points In the measure. This measure
Is regarded by all as a safe and con
servative one and one which cannot
work harm to any interest In the
state but which will be an absolute
benefit to all.
Touching upon the liquor question
Eenator Banning explained that he
had never posed as a county optlon
lt before he had been elected and
they knew he would oppose such a
measure Just as he had done. He
marie a mild defense of the daylight
saloon bill believing It to bo In the
Interests of the people and a dis
tinct advance In temperance legisla
tion. He did not state his reasons
for voting fcr it other than he re
garded the measure as a wise one. '

which the legislature passed ho men

umatia charter, the different bills Hans Tarns departed this morn

Making- Biff Improvements.
T. H. Pollock was a business visi
tor In Omaha this afternoon bolng a
passenger for that city on the mall
train. Mr. Pollock who Is the gen
eral manager of the Plattsmouth Tel
ephone Company, states that his com
pany Is now rapidly getting Into
bape to commence the projected Im
provements of their system. They
have been receiving a large quantity
of material the last few days and
their construction foreman George
Bullard came down this morning
from Omaha to take charge of the
work. The material received so far
comprises a carload of telephone ca
ble, two cars of poles, a half car of
cable terminals and much other ma
terlal for the extensions and improve
ments which they have In contempla
tion. Mr. Pollock's trip Is made for
the purpose of buying a large sup
ply of heavy tools for the work nec
cessary. He expects to spend sev
eral hundred dollars upon tools alone.
"he start of these Improvements Is
hailed with satisfaction by the peo
ple generally who want to see the
local service improved and brought to
perfection as soon as possible. The
Improvements will cost the company
a tidy sum of money which was ap
propriated for that purpose at the
annual meeting of the company. The
improvements which this company
will make also mean a large sum of
money to be spent in thls city and
vicinity during the coming spring and
summer and much work for local la
bor. The Plattsmouth people are
determined to keep their system to
the fore and with this end In view
they have extended their llns and
Improvements to such a decree that
no one can compete with them in
this field. Manager Pollock is the
man for the place as he has been
a hustler from the start and has
ullt up a vast field of business all
over the county. He la constantly
engaged In devising new plans for
Improving the service and is moking
himself a name In the telephone
world of Nebraska.
The Omaha police claim to have
secured a complete confession from
Louis Adair, one of the car thieves,
arrested last Friday night at La
Platte. Adair seems to have given
up all the names of his partners in
crime with details covering the
places where the gang worked. Ac
cording to the confession the real
culprits escaped with the exception
of Adair himself. The other three
men arrested, J. W. Adair, Alfred
Bayes and J. Walters seem to have
been merely go-betweens between the
gang and the merchant or merchants
In Omaha who handled the goods. The
ther three men who had been cap-
; lured had been employed by the Bur
lington upon their tracks between La
Platte and Bellevue but the work
was a mere blind to cover the real
purpose. The three men rented a
house near the old soap works and
used this as a place to store the goods
thrown from passing trains by the
gang. They thus escaped the ser
ious charge and will have to face a
complaint for receiving stolen goods.
This being the only charge which can
be brought against them.
Adalr'B confession is said to be a
story of one of the most remarkable
cases of robbery ever told. Accord
lng to him the gang had operated
over all the roads running Into Oma
ha. The Missouri Pacific had been
one of the most prolific fields of the
gang. They were in the habit of
holding up cars on the Missouri Pa
clflc belt line In the city of Omaha
near the Field Club grounds and In
the vicinity of Center street. The
men would board a train at South
Omaha and ride In the box car until
the heavy grade was reached near the
Field Club when they would throw
off the merchandise wanted, getting
off at the top of the hill and running
back and picking up the goods which
they conveyed to a cave nearby and
later drove to Lal'latte where the
goods were put into the house which
the other three men rented. The
amount of goods taken from this one
road Is said to have been very large
In addition the gang operated up
on the Union Pacific, looting the cars
on this line as they went over the
east end of the Lane cut-off. The
goods were disposed of the some as
with the Missouri Pacific.
The C. St. P. M. & O. was also an
object of loot the dumping ground
being near Florence Lake, the good
being secreted in that vicinity until
they could be moved.
