Call and see warn S I Willi DRAW LANDS he suits against Johnson and Milllken claim hat the railroad is not Involved In the matter at all and that the suits are against the two men as Individ uals. The treasurer of the company claims that the lands Involved In the Government Gets After Denver Capitalists' Lancl Entries Platlamouth people will be inter jested in several Buits which have been tarted In the federal courts In Wyom ing by the United States authorities who are seeking to have declared fraudulent the entry of several hun dred thousands of acres of coal lands located in that state by Charles S. ..Johnson and John D. Milllken, whose residence is stated to be Denver, Col. The lands In question it is claimed were entered by dummy emrymen for he benefit of the two men named who are connected with the Northwestern Land & Iron company and the Denver Laramie & .Northwestern railroad company, both of which have their headquarters In Denver. The lands are located in the Elk Mountains -district. Carbon county, Wyoming. In addition to this land 2,50.0 acres in the - Seminole district in the same county Is Involved. The cases are ling prosecuted by Sylvester R. Rush a special counsel for the government, who, has been prosecuting such cases. In various parts of the country. The local interest In the matter is aroused over the fact that a number of people throughout this section have taken stock in the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railroad, a promoter for which has been operating in this section for a year past. This scheme included the building of a railroad from Denver, Col., northwest through a rich iron and coal district in north ern Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho to soma point on the Pacific northwest coast. Several prospective local in vestors made trips to Colorado and Wyoming and went over a portion of the line of the projected road, noting the fine land and the rich mineral deposits which outcropped, -ending tip by Investing in stock of the con cern on the strength of the resources which It had. The road In addition to all these lands had good terminal facilities In Denver and had a num ber of miles of track laid together :with rolling stock and equipment. The Immense value of the land cases are not railroad company lands J but, on the contrary, are some entered exclusively in the Interest of the two Individuals. No matter whether the land Involved In that claimed by the railroad company or not local In terest will be pretty keen until it Is known where local Investors stand on the matter. impending trouble at the Havelock shops of the Burlington, although the Lincoln papers are minimizing the matter as they usually do in such cases. The trouble is said to be due to the failure of the railroad com pany and its machinists and boiler- makers to agree upon a wage scale. The base of the trouble rests with the bollermakers and their helpers who are demanding an advance from 37 cents per hour to 40 cents and also the abolition of the piece work system. The company Is disposed to concede the advance It Is said but will firmly refuse to abolish the piece work system. While the machinists at this time have made no demand It Is said they are watching the bollermakers and giving thfm moral support in their efforts and if they are successful it Is expected that a demand will follow from the machinists along the same lines. The number of men affected by the proposed strike which Is ex pected In the event of the refusal oi the company to grant the demands, very large ana there would oe Ptttes is simply a little queen on the stage and won great praises from the audience last night. Miss Spencer, as Delores, appeared charmingly In her part and displayed much ability. She also wou the hearts of those present in her role. The entire company did well and fully kept up the record here as first-class in their profession. We would like to mention the entire membership, but suffice to say, they all did well, and in their different roles displayed their usual ability to such an extent as to retain the great popularity they have established In Plattsmouth. Mr. Grew has really been very fortunate in the organiza tion of the company, and he has suc ceeded In giving the amusement lov ing people of Platttsmouth and vicin ity a class of plays that has been Ighly appreciated. "The WIzzard" Is the next one on the boards for next Friday night, and It Is one that will be pleasing to our people, especially to those "who appreciate the energy and efforts of Mr. Grew in giving them a class of plays that deserve their patronage. is Not Cornp etc without a light dress overcoat for the changeable clays of Spring.

The articles of Incorporation of the Olson Photo Machine company were filed today with County Clerk Morgan and the corporation takes a firm grip on life commencing Monday, April 4th. The articles which are filed give the official name of the corporation as the Olson Photo Ma hlne company with Its principal place of business as Plattsmouth, Neb. The objects of the Incorporation which are recited at considerable length and which are quite numerous In clude the procuring of patents, the manufacture and sale of machines, photographic supplies, etc., the mak ing making and sale of photographs, to purchase necessary machinery and all the necessary adjuncts to this line of business. The capital stock Is fixed at $25,000 in shares of $100 each. f The affairs of company are to be handled by five directors and a president, vice president, secre tary and treasurer. The limit of ln debtness Is to be one-third of the capital stock. The articles of Incor-' poratlon can be amended by two thirds vote of the stockholders. The life of the corporation Is to commence April 4, 1910, and run for a period of ninety-nine years. Those signing the articles of incorporation are Gus. tave R. Olson, T. H. Pollock, H. N. Dovey, E. L. Cummins, E. W. Cook. This makes the official Btart of what seems destined to become a powerful and worthy enterprise for this city. That the patent which these gentlemen will place upon the market Is one of the best ever pro duced In Its line U without question. It Is something which every photo grapher needs In his business and something which any man with ex- serlous trouble on hand for the com pany In the event the strike came off. The Lincoln papers take their usual position of trying to make It appear that no strike 13 imminent but the Burlington officials at Havelock and at Lincoln agree the matter Is being considered at the general offices at Chicago but that no demand has been made on the local officers at Lincoln. In this city there is no labor un rest and there is a singular fact bad of the Burlington In this city that no labor trouble has ever affected the shops here. The men are well satis fied and make no kick and this town is one of the few railroad centers which Is little affected by strike talk The strike at Havelock might be an expensive proposition for the Burling. ton and something which they have not had to contend with here.

If the cases which have been brought in the federal cout rshould terminate in favor of the railroad, it can read ily be seen that the road will become a much sought after piece of prop erty. The promoter who worked this sec tion represented the railrcad com pany exclusively and did not pretend to sell shares in the land company. The offer which he made to prospec tive Investors In the stock of the company was a most flattering one and one which looked too good to be reliable. There was not alone the usual amount of stock at a low price but also stock In the auxiliary land and coal companies which are be lieved to have been subsidiary to the Northwestern Land company Involved in tin so cases. A number of persons who contemplated investing declined to do so ns they regarded the proposi tion as too good to be safe. The officers of the road In D nver who have been Interviewed regarding The gentlemen who are back of the enterprise are more than confident that they have a good thing in the concern and they are looking forward to a good business. The machines will be manufactured In this city ana they will be shipped from here In suring an Increase In business which will affect other lines here as well as the one particular line directly affected. Iturbecue or Banquet. II. L. Oldham, the well known and popular Murray Democrat, was In the city yesterday afternoon, having driven up here from his home to get awagonload of niaterlla with which to complete some Improvements which he is making at his home. Mr. Old ham Is an enthusiast over a great county Democratic dinner and Is anx ious to have such a scheme started, lie knows that there are many hun dreds of good Democrats In this coun ty who would be only too glad to take several tickets apiece and take their families to the gathering while the well known Democratic orators of the state would be only too glad for an opportunity to address such a gathering of Cass county's citizens. He urges that the matter be taken up by the local Democrats and that the preliminary steps be taken right away for the feast. He favors hold ing it either within the next inonth or close to the primary. Mr. 'Old ham also favors the holding of a grand oldfashlond barbecue if the banquet scheme docs not go through and believes that a big celebration which would last all day and at which men, women and children could gather and have a good time would be the proper thing. His suggestions were taken up by several local Dem ocrats and met with a warm reception and there Is every probability that one or the other of them will be put Into effect very soon. past several years. Mrs. Fox is also more than Impressed with the rise of Oklrhoma City, the new giant among the southwestern cities, and regards Its Houston. Oklahoma City Is spread ing out like a young giant according to the lady and Is enjoying a most wonderful growth, new houses being In evidence on every hand and fac tories and Industries without number going up. The entire southwest Is still on the top wave of that great prosperity which set In some six or eight years back and which the panic of 1907 hardly checked. Mrs. Fox and children deeply re Dntertulninent and Box Supper. The pupils of the Cottonwood school In District 27, three and one half miles west of Mynard, will give an entertainment and box supper at the school house on Saturday even ing, April Dth to which all are In vited.

The music of the orchestra was greatly appreciated by the dancers and the players firmly stablished themselves as popular fav orltes with the good people of Mur dock and vicinity. They also enjoyed the trip immensely and were loud In praise of the treatment which they received at the hands of their hosplt able patrons. They hope to be able to secure many another engagement at that pelasant little city. Fence PonU Tor Sale. I have about COO Bur Oak fence post, split, which I will sell tit rea sonable prices.
