One engineer writes from Manhat
tan, Kas., that he very much desires
to come but not being In active ser

securing free transportation. Divis

to be In attendance. The engineer
In question Is J. S. Hitchcock, a re
tired engineer now making his home

hattan, Kas. Mr. Hitchcock Is seventy-eight
years of age. He has been
a member of the brotherhood for over
thirty years and Is now a member

ledo and Cleveland, Ohio, In the
building cf the road, and he ran an
engine In 1873 out of Lincoln on the
old Atchison and Nebraska rail
road. If Mr. Hitchcocn comes he will
be selected as the mascot of the un
ion meeting.

that they have a good time. This

Tlie l!unalMut Train.
A committee of the Commercial
club consisting cf Messrs. A. L. TIdd
and Henry Ooos have been circulating
a petition to the management of the
Missouri Pacific Railway asking that
the old turn-around train on that
read be restored to service. The pe
tition is being presented to the busi
ness men of the city and is being
signed without exception as most of
the merchants seem to be sure it
will help this city as well as the com
pany. It is understood that similar
petitions are In circulation In Louis
ville, Manley, Weeping Water. Ne-
hawka, Union and Murray, al of
which towns would gain by It. It
would enable persons In the county
having business either here or in
Omaha to leave home at a convenient
time and return the same day In good
time. The general Impression is that
there Is now a fair prospect of get
ting this train restored as the M. P.
seems disposed to do what It can to
promote a better feeling with the
city than has existed In the past.
It i3 also a matter of news that
the work of relaying the M. P. tracks
from Kansas City to Omaha with new
and heavier steel rails Is being push
ed with all possible speed and that
the steel laying gang is now practical
ly at Union with the work. This
work Is to be pushed to completion
Just as rapidly as the material can
be gotten on the ground and there
Is small doubt but that early fall will
see the new Meel into Omaha. This
with new ties and gon.l lining and
surfacing means the M. P. will have
a track capable of staining as
nst tpeed as any road in the coun
try. There are other projected im
provements which the company de
clines to give out at present which
will be a dlpMnct help to this city and
the vicinity. The M. P. has only re
cently placed large orders for new
rolling stock and some of this will
doubtless find its way to this end of
the road. This being done the com
pany would be In a position to com
pete with any of the other trunk
l!i.F In this territory and would
give Platsmouth a service commen
surate with Its needs.
Worthy of PraUe.
Considerable praise is being ac
corded the park commissioners for
the manner In which they are now
keeping Garfield park. It is said to
be In better shape this summer than
ever before. The fence has been re
paired and the turnstiles have been
fixed so that animals cannot get In
and browse on the grass. In addi
tion the grass has ben carefully
mowed with a scythe and the commis
sion has purchased a lawn mower
with which to keep it in good shape.
The Improvement has ben very mark
ed and the park presents the neat,
well kept appearance which it should
have. It. is said that mucli credit is
due Judge Travis for the condition
in which the park is as he Is said
to have Instructed the commission
ers that ho expected them to see that
it was kept up in first class shape.
He certainly Is to be congratulated
upon the choice of his commission
ers for they have shown the rleht
spirit in beautifying the city and its
parks and avenues. A better set of
officials would be mighty hard to
find. . . ' ,

PRISONER
A Very Interesting Letter From Max
Ploehn, Serving a Life Sentenc
in the Stale Penitentiary.
The Journal today Is in receipt of
a letter from Max Ploehn, dated at
Lancaster, Neb., on June 29th.
Ploehn, it will be recalled is serving
a life sentence in the penitentiary,
for the murder of Alma Goos, and he
writes The Journal renewing his sub
scription for this paper. This letter
is a model one and is excellently
written.
Ploehn uses good english and his
sentences are well formed indicat
ing an education above the ordinary.
It will be noted that he pays a high
compliment to Warden Smith and
his efforts to emellorate the condi
tion of the prisoners. It will also
he noted the longing for freedom
which breathes out in the letter
and the hope which it expresses for
a chance to breath fresh air once
more. From other sources It Is
learned that Ploehn has been a njodel
prisoner since his incarceration and
has been a steady worker, having
earned quite a good sum of money
by-working overtime. His keepets
are high in praise of his conduct.
The letter in full Is as follows:
Lancaster, Neb., 6-20, '09.
The Journal
Platsmouth, Neb.,
Dear Sir:
It Is with much pleasure that 1
enclose $1.30 for another year's sub
scription to your ever welcome publi
cation. I find that one has to be
away from home before he can really
appreciate his home paper, and the
evenings that the mail carrier comes
around with The Journal are "red
letter" days for me. Even the adver
tisements have a familiar and home
like appearance and recall to memory
other and happier days, while the
local and personal notes concerning
friends and acquaintances are like
letters from home. All the great me
tropolitan dailies ever printed, even
if we were allowed to receive them,
would not be as welcome to the ab
sent one as the paper from home.
While our new Democratic Warden
has not as yet granted us the privi
lege of daily papers, be Is never
theless a liberal and broad-minded
man, and believes in ameliorating
and lightening our burden all he pos
sibly can, while still remaining con
sistent to his duties as a public of
ficial. As, for instance, the vaude
ville entertainment given for our
express benefit last Friday afternoon,
notices of which you probably saw In
the public prints. He also agrees
with the poet who said, "Music hath
charms to sooth the savage beast,"
for he has given us permission to
organize an orchestra of fifteen pieces
of which your humble servant Is a
member, and we are anxiously wait
ing the arrival of our instruments
so that we may begin practice. In
numerous other instances he has
manifested his good will toward us.
Hoping that the State of Nebraska
will at some day in the near future
allow me to return home and resume
my forfeited place as a useful mem
ber of society, and wishing The
Journal success and prosperity, I re
main. Sincerely Yours,
Max Ploehn.

In New Quarters.
The Nebraska Telephone Company
is now snugly settled in their new
quarters over the clothing store of
Falter & Thlerolf, deserting their
old quarters over Wescott's clothing
store today. The new quarters are
comfortable and very much larger
than the old, the entire upper floor
of the building being taken up with
the offices and storage rooms of the
company. The work of completing
their new plant is now well under
way and in fact, is very nearly com
pleted. It will be a fine plant In
every respect and Bhould give the
people of this city an adequate ser
vice. Regardless of what may be
thought of the action of the company
In raising their rates for service, it
must be salj the company has made
quite a handsoaie Investment here
and seems bent on furnishing the
service which the city Cemands. It
can easily do this If It Is patronized
sufficiently and at the rates they pro
pose to charge after July first it
should make a handsome profit on Its
Investment, as the advance Is a sharp
one on residence phones.

Thirty-two Dollars Short.
Our friend, Alf. Nlchels Is $32 no
short since last Saturday evening,
ana tne stiortage ocurred In this
way: Mr. Nickels had a hand work-
ing for him on the farm, who seemed
to be a nice, clever, honest fellow
by the name of Reed, and he had
gained seemingly, Alf's most expli
cit confidence. The two had con
cluded to run a novelty stand at the .
celebration In Murray on the 4th of'
July, and had so bargained for the
privilege. They made out a list
of the goods they wanted and the
young man was given a check on the
Bank of Murray and sent to town
to get a draft to accompany the
order to Chicago for the goods. The
bank wa3 closed when he got to
Murray, and Reed went to Ora Davis,
of the hardware firm of Davis &
Pitman, and got the check cashed,
and that is the last seen of Reed.
As soon as Mr. Nickels found out
that his man had decamped with
the money he telephoned into the
bank and stopped the payment of
the check, and this is" where the mat
ter now stands. This is a plain case
of misplaced confidence, as we un
derstand Reed had only been employ
ed on the Nickels farm about two
months. Now the question is, who
Is the loser, Mr. Davis or Mr. Nick
els? We have been asked our opin
ion in regard to the case, and we Bay
the maker of the check is responsi
ble for its payment, because Mr.
Davis innocently cashed it. Where
Reed went no one seens to have
any idea. People should be careful
in cashing checks If they are not well
acquainted with the parties.
