The Olson Photo Machine company
has leased the Gorder building,
(formerly occupied by the Journal)
on lower Main street and will ar
range the same for the purpose of
manufacturing their machines. This
Is an enterprise of which there has
been but very little blowing, and
yet it Is destined to be of much more
importance than some of those upon

will be sent to every important city

calculated to make Plattsmouth fam

will benefit Plattsmouth, and every

More Xew J jijiines.
According to the Lincoln Journal
twenty-seven new switch engines are
to be built in P.urlington shops, and
of this order ten will be built at the
llavclock shops. That announcement
was made yesterday through official
sources. It was further stated that
material had been ordered for these
engines and that work on them will
be started soon. Ten will be built
at Burlington, Iowa, and Beven at
Aurora, 111. These engines will cost
approximately $10,000 each.
In addition to the motive power
to be built in the company shops It
has been announced from Chicago
that the company has ordered ten of
the large type Mallet locomotives, to
cost $30,000 each, and fifty Pacific
type passenger engines of the S class
to cost $20,000 each. The switch en
gines to be built at Havelock are to
be of the 03 and G6 class. Not only
has the road ordered new motive

In Taking the Census.
Other towns and cities of the state
are preparing to take a very active
part in taking the census in their
various municipalities. It will mean
much to PlattBmouth, and everyone
can assist the enumerators in one
way or another. Ten years ago the
census taking was not satisfactory
to our people, and the city authori
ties had it retaken, when it was dis
covered that over two. hundred In
habitants had not been taken at all.
This should not occur again, and the '
only manner in which we can get the
correct number of inhabitants lln
Plattsmouth is for everyone to assist
the enumerators. There will prob
ably be many transient laborers here
working on the railroads. This will
bo all the home they have, and if
they are not enrolled here, they will
probably be missed entirely. All
such things should be looked after
to do Justice to Plattsmouth in giv
ing the population what properly be
longs to the city.

SMOOTH STRANGER
And is Now Mourning the Loss
of Fifty Dollars
From Saturday's I)al!y.
Charles Mazur, a rather aged (and
Inexperienced as to the American
ways) Rohemian gentleman, who
claims to have been a resident of
Wahoo for the past few years, ar
rived in the city yesterday morning
in search of a position in one of the
local meat markets, claiming to be
a butcher and of many years experi
ence. He called on the local meat
dealers and finally, so he claims, se
cured the promise of a position at
the meat market of Kunsman &
Ramge, although no definite plans
were reached as to his future em
ployment. He strolled' around the
city a few hours and before noon he
made the acquaintance of a stranger
in the city who claimed to be in
the horse business at South Omaha,
and offered the old gentleman a posi
tion in his immense horse barn at
that city at a salary of $30 per month
and his board, which looked pretty
good to him and was accepted. Of
course, the stranger was on to his
Job, and first learned the fact that
the old man possessed the neat sum
of several hundred dollars, just how
much he had with him he did not
learn. However, they planned to re
turn to South Omaha on the two
o'clock train where the old gentleman
would immediately enter upon his
new duties at the imaginary barn.
Just as the train arrived at Bellevue,
the stranger tells the old gentle
man he has a team bought at that
place and Inquired as to the amount
of money he possessed, and the old
man became an easy victim, and for
tunately having only $50 with him
he gave it to the smooth horse buyer
to make the payment on the team,
which was to be returned when they
reached South Omaha. They left the
train at Bellevue, when the stranger
noticed the old man carried a fine
watch and chain and thus remarked
to its great value and borrowed it
for Inspection. Placing the watch
in his pocket they passed on for some
distance through the timber, when
the old man began to smell a mouse
and asked how much farther they
were going, sel,ed the stranger by
the throat and demanded the return
of his watch and $50. Here Is where
the horse man proved himself quite
an thelete and sprinter, Jirklng
from the grasp of Mr. Mazur he dash
ed off through the timber, throwing
the watch and chain upon the ground
as he made his get away. He has
not since been seen, that it not by
the fleeced Bohemian, with whom he
had gained the perfect confidence
and been robbed of $50 in cold cash.
He might possibly have gotten more
if the victim should have had all his
money with him.
Mr. Mazur went on into South
Omaha on the Btreet car and Inform
ed the police of his adventure and
and robbery who searched the city
last night for the smooth horseman,
but with no avail. The old man re
turned to Plattsmouth this morning,
declaring in his very much broken
language that he will In the future
be broke to all strangers he may
come in contact with and that he
does not wish to be employed in a
horse barn anyway.
In Police Court.
From Saturday's Ially.
In the case of the State vs. Mat
themsand Jacoby, defendants, both
of whom were haled before the bar
of Justice this morning on the charge
of being drunk and fighting on the
streets, both plead guilty and drew a
line of $10 each and costs of prose
cution. This administration of the
celebrated brand of Justice that Jus
tice Archer deals out to rich and
poor, high and low, etc., marks the
culmination of that sanguinary brawl
of which mention was made in yes
terday's paper. These parties both
admitted that they had been guilty
of Imbidlng too freely of the old
enemy, J. Barleycorn, and both said
that the fight was the outprowth of
an old feud. George Matthews, the
other man who was in the fight, was
released yesterday on bond, and for
some reason was not called upon
to appear this morning. He is the
one who had one of the small bones
of his right arm broken yesterday,
and this morning is carrying it in a
bandage, but it is though that the
Injury is not very serious. From the
testimony this morning it appears
that the victim of the assault, Jacoby,
Is of a quarrelsome disposition when
In his cups, and that he forced the
trouble upon the Matthew brothers.
After listening to the evidence in
the case, Judge Archer decided that
the above mentioned fine would
about fit the caso and as neither of
the defendants had the funds to
liquidate, they were both committed
to tbo county Jail to serve out their
fines or work them out on the city
streets.

M. P. Wreck.
Considerable difficulty was en
countered today by the Missouri Paci
fic railroad in an attempt made by
them to run one of their freight
trains with entire disregard for the
roadbed. The result of this experi
ment was that they found themselves
this morning with one of their
freight engines crosswise of the track
in front of the depot and the entire
passenger and freight service of this
line at a standstill. Up to the time
of the Journal going to press the
wrecking crew had not been able
to get the train on the track again
and the morning passenger train for
Kansas City, after a vain endeavor
to get things straightened out, had
to be detoured by way of Louisville,
some of the passengers alighting here
and taking the Burlington.
linn Away With Harrow.
Monroe Mead, who works for J. W.
Pittman on the farm, had a "har
rowing'' experience on Monday that
frightened the pants off him, at least
the harrow teeth tore them off. He
was working in the field, when the
team became frightened and ran
away, landing in a wire fence and re
sulted in the horses being cut on the
wire. Mr. Meal considers himself
lucky that the harow teeth hooked in
his pants instead of into his hide,
as he says he can spare the pants
better than the hide. It was indeed
fortunate that the accident did not
result in worse injury tcf the horses
and driver. Union Ledger.
C. L. draves, the Union attorney,
came In last evening to look after
