Plattsmouth is for progress and
improvement. That was demonstra
ted1 yesterday most emphatically by
the action of the city's voters in
endorsing the proposed bond issue
for intersection paving, by an over
whelming majority. The vote cast
was light and even then the greater
part was registered in the evening
hours when it became known that
there was danger of defeat to the is
sue. The proposition carried every ward
in the city including the Fifth ward
where the opposition had confidently
counted upon rolling up a good ma
jority. There were a number of op
ponents of the issue who took very
decided grounds against it and who
urged that the voters repudiate the
issue but they found themselves in
a hopeless minority when the vote
was counted. The total cast was 442
considerably less than half the vote
of the city but the large majority
demonstrated that the citizens were
so greatly in favor of the issue that
a full vote would have Bimply obli
terated those in opposition.
In the First ward where the pav
ing is to be done and where there
was some strong opposition, the vote
simply buried the opposition. There
were 81 votes cast which is about one
half a vote. Of these 75 favored the
bonds and there was only 6 against
it. This handsome endorsement of
the project by the people who will
have the heavy cost to pay should
silence anyone who says Plattsmouth
is not for improvement. The few in
the ward who fought the bonds form
ed a very small minority and plainly
the will of the people in the new pav
ing district is for the work.
In the Second ward there were 123
votes cast which is considerably less
than half a vote. The opposition
here did not far any better pro-
' portionally than In the First as they
mustered but 10 votes against the
project to 113 for It. Considerable
work was done In this ward by one
of the active opponents of the work
but it was magnificently endorsed.
The Third ward also cast a heavy
majority for bonds, although a few-
were Influenced against them by op
ponents who favored using funds in
the city treasury for Intersection pav
ing and 4etting the work on the
avenues and streets go. The vote
of this ward was 105 for and 15
against or a total of 120 votes con
siderably less than half the vote.
The Fourth ward cast 66 votes
which Is about one-third of the nor
mal vote. Of these 55 favored the
bond3 and 11 were against. This
overwhelming majority was rolled up
despite the active opposition of sev
. eral prominent citizens who were
opposed to using the regular levy for
work on the streets and avenues and
sidewalks of the city and who want
ed the intersection paving paid for
out of the city funds.
In the Fifht ward the most op
position was encountered, a large
number of the voters of that ward
opposing the bonds because they con
sldered themselves ill-used 'in the
matter of street work, sidewalks and
the like. It was largely a sectional
fight in this part of the city and

William R. Kenner -ns born at
Ceresco, Lancaster county, Neb., on
August 22, 1877, and at the time of
his death hud reached the age of
G2 years, 8 months and 11 days. He
was the son of Mrs. Carl Herger of
this city, and had been a resident off
and on of this city for the past
fifteen years practically. He was Just
eighteen years of age when he came
to this city and he at once entered
the employ of the Burlington railroad
since remaining with the company In
the several capacities of laborer In
the lumber yard, blacksmith, fire
man, and lastly, locomotive engineer.
In the latter capacity he served some
four years Just passed. He was mar
ried in Lincoln a nunider of years
ago to Miss Dora Barmil, of that
city, who later departed this life,
leaving as a result of the union two
small children, both, sons Carl and
Harold. Some three years ago he
again married, this time his bride
being Miss Emma Itobbins of this
city, who survives hliu. The oldest
of the two sons by his first marriage
had made his'hom'e with Mr. and
Mrs. Renner for the past year, while
Harold, the younger, lived with Mr.
and Mrs. C. L. Herger, the latter
the boy's grandmother. These are
the surviving relatives of the deceas
ed. He had one brother born, but
he died a number of years since.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been completed and the for
mal date for the services will not be
settled until the arrival of the widow
ln the city this evening. The re
mains of the deceased will be
brought to this city this evening on
Burlington train No. 2, due here at
five o clock p. m., and they will be
taken Immediately from the station
to the Home on High School hill. A
number of fellow employes of the
deceased, on the Burllngtln, assisted
Messrs. John Bauer, Jr.J E. II. Wes-
cott and Charles Martin, will act as
pall bearers.
Deceased was one of nature's no
blemen. He had lived ln this city and
vicinity for so many years that he
had a wide circles of acquaintance
despite his retiring and unassuming
disposition. He was a gentleman of
very quiet tastes and disposition, and
of the most modest demeanor.
While retiring, an acquaintance once
formed with him developed into a
friendship which would last as long
as life. Ills passing la the source of

One llotul Knocked Out.
The county board was in session
yesterday and today and considered
a great deal of business ln addition
to allowing a very long list of claims
against the several county funds. One
of the principal matters of interest
to the people of Tlattsmouth and its
kinity was considering the petition
of A. G. Bach and others for opening
a road through section 19 and 20
near the city. This is what Is known
as the proposed ferry road and was
projected to run through the prop
erty of James Thomas southeast of
the city. There was a Vigorous re
monstrance filed against the pro
posed road and the board spent a
good part of yesterday ln listening
to it. This morning they viewed
the road and decided to refuse the
petition. Hence this road, at least,
will not be opened. A bid of $80.00
per mile was submitted by O. E.
Young for grading the roads between
Nehawka and Avoca, as it was the
only bid, the commissioners rejected
it and the matter Is still open. One

the board was that of the amount
