CROP REPORT
Temperature Higher This Year
Than Last Fruit Loss Heavy
The crop report just issued for the
week ending April 24 by the Bur
lington operating department on the
Nebraska district of that road was
no lower last week than for the cor
responding week in 1909. In fact the
mean temperature for the entire dis
trict was four degrees higher. For
the week ending April 16 the mean
temperature was ten degrees higher
than for the corresponding week in
1 fl fl 1 . Thpr wna Ipsa fcnnwfnlli Inst
week on the Nebraska district than
there was during the corresponding
. week of last year, although on the
. latest report three inches of snow at
Sioux City, one at Plattsmouth, and
the lighter snows are reported from
several stations on the Omaha ditis
ion. The report shows poor prospects
for fruit, but shows the ground to
be in fair shape yet for farming, not
withstanding the dry weather. The
prospects for a crop, based on the
average crop in Nebraska, are re
ported as follows: Lincoln division,
73 per cent; Omaha division, 78 per
cent; Wymore division, 53 per cent;
McCook division, 83 per cent. State

Takes Diamond Thief to Ten.
Sheriff Quinton departed this
morning for the penitentiary at Lin
coln taking with him McMichael, the
diamond swindler, who goes up to
commence his five year term. Mc
Michael -appeared in much better
spirits this morning than he did
when he made the trip to Omaha
several days ago and conversed free
ly with different parties at the de
pot. He was formerly a railroad
operator and station agent and has
worked at various places in the coun
try. It was this fact that enabled
him to figure out how easy it would
be to bilk an express company and
caused him to attempt the diamond
swindle. He talked for some time
while waiting for ,the train with
Agent Pickett, Operators Clements
and Moore and other employes at
the Burlington station displaying con
siderable knowledge of railroad work.
He did not seem to care much about
the prospect for a long term in prison
and laughed and joked with the
sheriff and others.
A Pleasant .Surprise.
The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. M. Oravett was the scene of a
delightful birthday surprise last
evening when a number of neighbors
and friends came in on Mr. Gravett
and most agreeably surprised him,
the occasion being in honor of his
thirty-fifth birthday' anniversary.
This most enjoyable affair had been
secretly planned by 'Mrs. Cravett and
last evening when neighbors and
friends came in, Mr. Gravett was
somewhat shocked but soon recov
ered and gave them a royal time.
The principal amusement was de
rived from games, music and the
like, all of which occasioned consider
able merriment.
The pleasures of the evening were
further augmented when a delicious
lunch was served, which was thor
oughly relished by all. At a late
hour and after having wished Mr.
Gravett many more such anniversar
ies, the guests dispersed reporting a
fine time. ' i
Those who attended were Messrs.
and Mesdames Thos. South, Burt
Tulene, Robt. Brlssey, Wen. Tulene,
George Ward, Warn Tulene, Mrs.
Slvey; Misses Farrls York, Kate
York, Eva Ward, Messrs. Albert

An Unfounded Report.
An unfounded report that Claus
Boetal who was Injured several weeks
ago by being thrown from his dray
wagon, had taken a sudden turn for
the worse and that his life was des
paired of, caused the many friends of
that gentleman considerable anxiety
this morning. It is a pleasure to
state that he iif really improving
right along and the attending phy
sician holds out the best hopes for
his early recovery, it is not known
just how the report gained circula
tion as there $as been no unfavor
able symptoms develop since his in
jury and there is no reason to anti
cipate any.
made." The Chicago avenue project
and the improvements on Lincoln
avenue are both unexpected develop
ments since the levy was made and
these w ill take a big lot of money out
of the treasury.
Altogether it would appear that the
voters of the city can only take one
step and that is to endorse unquali
fiedly the bond issue. It has been
said that the local banks would like
to loan the city the money for the
paving project and if that is the
case, there seems no obstacle In the j
way to their taking over the $3,500
issue of bonds and paying the city the
money for them, it would be as
broad as it Is long and if they desire
to loan "the money to the city, they
are better protected by the bonds
than they would be depending upon
the city's Income and Us credit. The
rate of Interest is not as high as
warrants would be but it Is said the
money might be loaned to the city
for the rate the bonds bear. If
this Is the case, it Is difficult to see
any good reason why the banks or
some one of them, might not take
the bonds over and end the difficul
ties of the city.
The Journal would be glad to hear
from citizens on the subject and to
know that they are awake and are
taking such steps as may be necessary
to Insure the Issuance of the bonds
and the early building of the paving
and the government building. It is
vitally important to this city that
this building go up at once and the
paving is the one first step neces
sary. A failure in that means a fail
ure in the whole project In all prob
ability and It must not be permitted.
Ships Fine Cattle.
William H. and Louie Puis came
up this morning from their home
near Murray and were passengers
for South Omaha on the morning
Burlington train. The gentlemen last
evening sent a ctfrload of fine cattle
to that city for market today and
have hopes of getting a good price
this morning. They are among the
live stock raisers of their vicinity
and are good judges of animals. They
expect to return to this city this
evening after making the sale.

Duty of Every Citizen to Vote
the Bonds.
On Tuesday next the voters of this
city will be called upon to place their
official endorsement upon issuing in
tersection paving bonds in the sum
of $3,500 for the purpose of paving
the intersections at Fourth and Vine,
Fifth and Vine and Seventh and Vine
streets. So far there has been very
little talk heard concerning the mat
ter and it Is advisable that the peo
ple who want to secure the immediate
building of the government postoffice
bestir themselves and give the mat
ter Borne attention, otherwise the
election might go by default.
The great majority of the voters of
the city are enthusiastic over the pro
posed bond issue realizing that it
means the early start of work on the
government building and In addition,
means an improvement of no small
moment to the streets in the busi
ness section. There is no pronounced
opposition to the bonds so far as
can be learned but there Is a dis
position in Borne quarters to ques
tion the advisability of voting bonds
for that purpose. It may be said that
this Is merely a difference in opinion
as to procedure and does not mean
that anyone Is opposed to the pav
ing or that any effort will be made
to prevent the work and the subse
quent erection of the government
building.
Those who question the wisdom of
voting bonds do so because they seem
to believe that the city can raise the
money by pledging Its revenues with
the banks for the amount. It is not
known as to whether the banks would
care to loan the money on this kind
of security or not but it Is not the
belief of most of the people who have
Investigated the matter that this is
the wisest plan. The bond plan
looks better to all who have made a
careful study of the financial condi
tion of the city.
When the estimate of expense was
made last summer for this year no
arrangements were made to raise
funds for this paving because at that
time it was not known that the gov
ernment would require the paving
as a condition precedent to building
the government building., In conse
quence of this, the expenses were
only figured upon the actual amount
necessary to run the city including
a sufficient levy to repair the streets
and bridges where actually needed.
When it became known that the
government would require the paving
before any steps could be taken to
ward erecting the government build
ing it was too late to Increase the
levy so as to cover the amount re
quired. Owing to the hard rains of last
fall there are many of the streets
which need extensive repairs while
there are a large number of crossings
and bridges which will have to, be
repaired or partially replaced with
new structures. One argument which
is urged against the idea of pledging
the city's income and its credit to
obtain money to pave the intersec
tions with, is that it would result in
robbing the road fund of the money
which was levied to meet these re
pairs with the consequence the streets
and roads would have to be left In
their present condition of almost lm
passablllty. This is not desired by
anyone in the city and the way to
avoid It seems to be to vote the
$3,500 bonds for the paving and use
the incoming taxes for the road fund
on the streets.
Another argument which Is ad
vanced against robbing the road fund
is that a large amount of money
which has been provided by this levy
will be used up in the macadamizing
of Chicago avenue which work has
been agreed upon and ordered by the
council. This will make a large hole
in the city's funds and it is some
thing which cannot be avoided. To do
the work means the expenditure of
a large' amount of money and means
to deprive the road fund of that
amount. This work would have to
languish should the city treasury be
depleted for this paving project.
Yet another thing which will be a
strain upon the city treasury, will
be the vacation of Lincoln avenue
and the grading and condemnation of
property made necessary by the
building of the new Burlington sewer.
This is a project which everyone
endorses and which must be built
The city will have more or less to
pay out in condemnatory proceed
lngs and besides will have a great
deal of grading to do to get the new
road way In shape. This means
more money to come from the road
fund, hence it is necessary to'ralBe

bonded by that means so as to leave

. MIXED POETRY
January and February have passed through,'
And the pleasant month of March too.
l.ut April, with its dusty showers,
It's end so close can count it by hours.
And May is coming soon,
Followed by the month of June.
Some do say that one day in May
We will all see a very discouraging day.
We hope that all prophets fail
In saying we'll be dashed with Halley's comet's tail
It certainly is our earnest desire
That our end shall not be in a monstrous fire.
Iiut we will leave it as it is
And will say something that may not come amiss.
'Tis very true, we all know
That in a city they have much to show.
When you go to the city, go only for pleasure.
Trade at home to benefit your own treasure.
In a town there is always a throng,
But divided ; some for right and some for wrong.
Try and exterminate the obnoxious weed
And thereby "See Plattsmouth Succeed."
A few words more and we are through
'Tis for the benefit for you; you and you.
We have Furniture, Carpets and Rugs, galore
Please remcmler you arc all welcome at our store.
