FIIIE EXHIBIT OF
HKHBI
Col-
Sherwood and Son Have a
lection in Their Window That
is Well Worth Attention.
Plattsmouth people do not really
appreciate the efforts being put forth
for their benefit. If they did every
man, woman and child In this locality
-would be up In front of the east win
dow of the Sherwood shoe store look
ing at the exhibit which they have
In sight of rubber In Its original and
finished forms. This Is one of the
finest exhibits of nature shown In
Plattsmouth, or, in fact, any other
city.
It is the result of great personal
work of It. Q. Sherwood, one of the
city's live ones. Mr. Sherwood last
summer was asked by the school
authorities to take up the subject
of rubber and to give the pupils of
the Bchools a lecture on It. He did
this and his lecture was something
which Is well worth reading. It Is a
scholarly study of the rubber matter
from Us birth to the present time.
In the compilation of these, Mr. Sher
wood searched the libraries of the
locality high and low. He gathered
statistics from all sources, all the
knowledge the world had of rubber In
Its native and finished state he laid
before the public of Plattsmouth. The
result Is carefully embalmed In a
treatise on rubber which lies In the
east store window of the Sherwood
shoe store today. From day to day
a page will be turned In this treatise
and the public Is asked to read It.
It pays you and me to know what
the truth Is about rubber. Road It.
Not a one Is the treatise on rubber
worth reading but look at what Mr.
Sherwood offers you In the. Bhape
of an exhibit of the rubber product.
He has In the window finished sped
mens of the real product which are
too good to be passed up. These
Include rubbers of several different
brands which this excellent firm han
dles. They cannot be excelled In this
city nor anywhere else. When a man
tells you ho Is selling rubber for less
than the local shoemen sells It, put It
down he Is bogus.
Sherwood & Sons are taking pains
to educate the peoplo on rubber. The
Hood Hubbcr company and the Good
year Rubber company have given him
the advantage of their facilities in his
good work and they are entitled to
. praise for their nKslstance. The ex
hlbit which they have sent him is one
wll worth having. From tho Caout
Chouc (pronounced koo'chock) which
is technically known as tho "biscuit,"
to the finished product handled by
Messrs. Sherwood, all processes of
manufacture are exhibited. The coun
tries cf tho world have been called
upon to furnish specimens for the
Sherwood exhibit. South America
nd nil the warm southern climates
are represented in the window of
Sherwood & Son. There Is Para rub
ber from the South American stateB
and Ceylon, Matto Gtobso rubber
from Brazil, Para rubber from Brazil
Dalata rubber from Venezuela, Com
ta rubber from Brazil, and lastly bu
not least Guayulo rubber, from Mex
ko and the United States. Teras pro
duces the last.
Through the entire process by
which this erqile product Is converted
into the real goods, Messrs. Sher
wood will lead the public by means
of their educational system which
ran be seen In tho window from
day to day. Study tho pages of Mr.
Sherwood's address on rubber and
you will attain some knowledge.
There are interesting specimens of
the product from tho expensive "bis
cuit" weighing CO pounds and now
worth J 101, to tho finished product
which is for sale by this enterprising
firm. One feature of the rubber trade
which 1b remarked on by the public
ia the remarkable growth of prices on
rubber products. The "biscuit" which
8 shown in the Sherwood window cost
in 1909 $44, today its cost $161.
What made the change? The manu
facturers say tho great growth of
the automobile business. They claim
that the amount of rubber used in
automobile tires has caused the price
to rise more than 300 per cent. The
public Is justified in drawing its own
conclusions, Is there a rubber trust?
Anyway, the Sherwood exhibit in tho
oast window is worth while.
Damage Cae Settled.
After being out from about 4:30
p. m., Wednesday until 10:30 o'clock
this morning, the jury In the case of
Henry R. Gering vs. John M. Leyda
for damages for malicious prosecution
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
one dollar. This jury was out ap
proximately forty-eight hours which.
Is one of the longest sessions a jury
has had In this county In some time.
The case was one of the most stub
bornly contested In many years in the
local courts, a great deal of personal
feeling being manifested from the
start of the proceedings. It was a
damage suit asking $5,000 damages
from the defendant, Leyda, by ex
Mayor Gering of this city. The found
ation for the case arose from the ar
rest of Mr. Gering about 2 years ago
on the charge of unlawfully selling
liquor to one Samuel Biggs. At the
hearing of the case it developed that
Biggs had gotten the liquor at the
instigation of other parties and the
plaintiff alleged that the defendant
in this case, together with C. A.
Rawls, then county attorney, and
Biggs had entered into a conspiracy
to defame his character and started
the prosecution with that end In view.
On the trial Mr. Gering was discharg
ed, County Judge Beeson rendering
a decision which released him. Im
mediately after his discharge he com
menced this case.
The coasts In the case wil be divid
ed between the parties, each party
paying his own costs. This is due
to a special provision of the statute
by which the amount of the recovery
of the plaintiff would have had to
have been $5 to carry with it costs
against the defendant. This section
of the statute applies only to actions
n malicious prosecution. The dif
ference between the costs of the two
parties Is said to be from $15 to $20,
the costs of the plaintiff being the
larger.
According to all parties the result
Is a victory for everybody. Counsel
on both sides seem pleased with the
outcome, the plaintiff accepting the
verdict as a vindication of his char
acter while the defendant seems to
be satisfied with the small recovery
of the plaintiff. It is not yet known
positively whether the case will be ap
pealed or not. '

In district court this morning the
matter of the settlement of the ac-

ing while the interests of a number

be figured into the assets of the es
tate, should not be so figured and con
firmed them In her. She was also
assigned an undivided one-half Inter
est in the real estate of the deceased.
The decree provides that the ac
counts of tho administrator and the
assignment and settlement of the ob
tate be allowed and settled and pro
vides that the shares as assigned
in the body of tho final decree, be
made. The administrator is directed
to pay out of the estate's funds at

The Journal learns that the wild-
eyed rumor which circulated over the
city to the effect that one or the
other of the bridges over the Platte
river at Oreapolis, had succumbed to
floating Ice and had been wrecked,
is wrong. Both the Burlington and
the M. P. bridges are In good shape
and capable of withstanding a great
amount of pressure. Both compan
ies are using every endeavor to pre
vent loss by flood and forces of men
are stationed at each bridge blasting
and loosening the ice to prevent gor
ges forming and carrying the struc
tures out.
It was currently report that either
one or the other of the bridges had
fallen before the great mass of Ice
which was hurrying down the stream
to the Missouri but this Is error. The
Missouri Pacific had a train over their
structure at 1 p. m.and the regular
Burlington had a train over their
bridge this afternoon on time. The
great ice gorge which formed yester
day in the Missouri river at the
mouth of the Platte and which was
noticed In yesterday's paper, broke up
this morning and immense quanti
ties of heavy Ice Is now rushing down
the stream. The channel in front of
the city today Is filled with floating
ice and the water ot the stream are
rising rapidly. Everything agrees
that there Is going to be Borne lively
doings within a few days unless a cold
snap strikes this section. With the
present warm, moist weather the
snow and Ice which Is on the ground
must melt and this means a great
addition to the waters which must
find their way to the sea.
The Platte Is breaking up at a point
above the Platte river bridge at
Oreapolis but not so far as Cullom.
Reports state that there Is heavy,
anlid Ice from Cullom to within a
short distance of Louisville and that
at that point the channel of the
river Is open and Ice Is running. This
means trouble to thoBe living along
i
the river unless the Ice breaks up
below them and the floes are allowed
to find their way Into the Missouri.
If they get Into that stream and ran
follow an uninterrupted flow to the
gulf, there will be no trouble but If
the Ice once gorges In the latter
stream then trouble can be looked ror.
