WINS OUT
High School Debaters Defeat the
Wahoo High School
By winning the district debate last
evening at Wahoo, the local debating
team covered itself with glory and
placed Plattsmouth in the front rank
with the cities of this state that com
pose the Nebraska High School De
bating League. The debate was held
last evening in the High School build
ing at Wahoo, before a large and en
thusiastic audience. The opening ex
ercises were started at 8:30, consist
ing of several musical numbers by
the Wahoo orchestra, under the lead
ership and direction of Miss Wilhel
mina Herold, formerly a resident of
this city, but at present instructor
in music and history at Wahooi
These numbers were most excellently
rendered, and tesified to the ability
of Miss Herold as an Instructor, as
did the vocal selection with which
she favored the audience.
Following the opening exercises,
the speakers were introduced by
Chairman Judge Good, and spoke in
the following order, Plattsmouth op
ening the discussion: Affirmative,
Miss Lucille GasB, John Falter, Miss
Marie Douglas; Negative, Miss Mil
dred Pickett, Miss Lola Gillillan and
Miss Elolse Gilchrist. The debate
proceeded without a hitch, and was
one of the most interesting and hotly
contested of the year, both sides hav
ing excellent speeches prepared and
presenting their agumcnt In good
order. While both of the teams
showed marked ability, it appeared
that the question, "Resolved, That
laber unions are on the whole bene
ficial,'' had been more thoroughly in
vestigated by the Plattsmouth team,
representing the affirmative, than by
the Wahoo contingent.
The Plattsmouth team clearly had
the best of the contest on all three
points of Delivery, Argument and Re
buttal, Miss Douglas, of this city,
rounding out the argument of the
affirmative In a most concise and
logical manner, and securing for her-
self the unanimous preference for
the individual honors. Miss Gass was
remarkable for cleverness and force
in argument, and Mr. Falter starred
in the rebuttal. The argument and
rebuttal consumed about an hour
and a half, and the dcbators showed
their talent by keeping the audience
at high tension for the entire time
When the argument was concluded
the decision was rendered in favor
of Plattsmouth, two of the Judges
voting for us and one for Wahoo
The judges of the occasion were Pro
fessors Caldwell, aWtkiiiB and Maxey,
all of the University of Nebraska.
This decision Bottled the most im
portant debate that Plattsmouth has
engaged in up to the present time,
as the winner of this debate sends a
representative to Lincoln to meet the
champions of the ten other districts
of the state in the contest to decide
the State Championship. Our repre
sentative, as decided by the Judges
at last evenings debate, will be Miss
Marie Douglas, and it Is assured that
this talented young woman will ac
quit herself as she has In the past,
with great credit to herself and the
school. This state meet will be on
the evening of May 20th, and it Is
hoped that a large delegation can go
to Lincoln on this occasion, as this
is a high school fete day and there
will be distinguished visitors from
all over the state.
Thi3 debate is the third consecu
tive victory for Plattsmouth this
year and reflects great credit upon
the team and Mr. Harrison, who has
acted as coach. The most of the
people who hear a debate have no
aproprlate idea of the amount
of work that its preparation entails,
and not only in the way of mental
laber, but in the matter of finances,
the Principal and Superintendent
have been greatly handicapped by
lack of funds. These gentlemen
have been obliged to back the debat
ing team to the financial extent of
twenty-five or thirty dollars, in order
that the city might continue to have
a prominent and winning team and
hold the rank that it ought to hold.
There is no reason, however, that
this debating enterprise cannot be
made to pay in this city, and it is
hoped that the people will respond
to this call. As a business proposi
tion in advertising a winning team
cannot be surpassed, as everyone
knows who gives the matter consideration.
Those who accompanied the team
yesterday were: Miss Elizabeth Fal
ter, Superintendent J. W. Gamble,
Principal B. L. Harrison, and Principal-elect
J. L. Richey. These peo
ple have announced their intention
of attending the state debate in Lin
coln the 20th, and any of them will
be glad to furnish information in re
gard to the trip to all who are in
terested.
Congressman Maguire Sees the

Work on the new public building ;
In this city will probabiy be starteu
about July first according to a re
port which Congressman Maguire
makes to Councilman D. O. Dwyer.
Mr. Dwyer who is somewhat interest
ed in the matter of the new building
and who hopes to see it soon com
pleted had written Mr. Maguire and
urged upon him the necessity of get
ting something started in the line
work on the building. His letter
brought an Immediate answer, the
congressman taking the matter up at
once and calling upon the supervis
ing architecht of the treasury depart
ment. He investigated conditions as
they existed and at once wrote Mr.
Dwyer as to the status of the matter.
He found that the drawings and
plans for the building had been com
pletely already and that bids were
likely to be advertised for during the
coming week. Immediately follow
ing the advertising and the submis
sion of the bids, they will he ex
amined and the contract awarded
As soon as this is done and the con
tractor has an opportunity to get his
forces lined up, work wil be started.
As the letter shows work should be
started about July 1st.
This is good news for the residents
of Plattsmouth and coupled with
other important news, shows that the
work of making Plattsmouth a larg
er and better town is getting along
nicely. By the end of the year 1910,
the probabilities are that this city
will be several thousand inhabitants
to the good. The improvements of
the streets are a big item, the public
building is another, free delivery is
another and the improvements at the

Peculiar Condition Thin Year.
Jacob Bengen is in the city today
looking after some business matters.
Mr. Bengen came in with his new
Regal machine, a very handsome and
attractive one and one which caused
much attention by the public. The
machine is one of the best of its
class in the market and Mr. Bengen
is much pleased with. He finds the
machine to be all that It has been
represented to be and a machine
which thoroughly serves his purpose.
The Regal is sold by the Duff Motor
company of this city. Mr. Bengen
was accompanied to the city by his
father, C. Bengen, one of the best
citizens of the Mynard neighborhood.
The elder Mr. Bengen together with
his son have completed the planting
of their corn and believe they will
have a nice crop this summer if the
weather is at all favorable. Mr. Ben

so peculiar a spring as this in the
years he has lived in Nebraska. He

The Journal learns that agitation

may possibly be summoned and given
a chance to inspect the old shack.
There is no question but what a Jury

the conclusion to condemn the jail
at once and probably order the con
struction of a new one. As it stands

From Wednesday's Dally.
Postmaster " Henry Ar""Schnelder
calls the attention of the Journal to
the vital necessity of the city get
ting sidewalks laid wherever possible
as this is one requisite the United
States government requires for Buch
work. There ' are many Btreets in
the city on which the walks are in
bad shape and it behooves the city
to get a move and put the walks up
to the standard which is required by
all cities. Uncle Sam does not insist
on his carriers having to wade in
mud to their shoe tops and when
free delivery is established it means
that walks must be put down and
steps taken to have the streets in
Bhape for cleanly passageway for
the carriers. Postmaster Schneider
states that the receipts of the office
have gone about the required amount
and the only thing which now stands
in the way is that of the walks.
The general policy of the city ad
ministration is to build new walks
wherever the same may be needed
and this is likely to be carried out
the coming year on a larger scale
than ever. If it is done, it means
that free delivery is something which
is assured for the future according
to the understanding as it now ex
ists. Plattsmouth has been advanc
ing the past year with great strides
and there is small room to doubt that
it will be able to furnish Uncle Sam
with anything he requires in the
shape of walks and the like.
An inspector for the poBtoffice de
partment visited the city some time
ago and he stated the policy of the
government had been not to put in

action of a grand Jury would be of
far reaching consequences and would
help a lot toward getting what the
county needs but the commissioners
could order one without. As one of

Lot Owners are Asked to Aid
Committe by Having Lota
Cleaned Up
From Wednesday'! Dally.
The cemetery committee Is very
anxious to have the different lot
owners at the cemetery call on the
city clerk and pay the fee of $1.50
for cleaning up the lots. The money
is badly needed and a ready response
by the public will be appreciated. Tha
city administration is determined to
make the cemetery the equal of any
in the state for appearance and it In
vites the co-operation of the publlo
in that respect. By paying the nomi
nal fee which is demanded by the
city, the lot owners will put the ceme
tery committee in shape to proceed
with their work and make Oak Hill
what it should be a superb resting:
place for the dead. The Journal,
hopes that the work will be done Im
mediately and it is assured if the
public will do its part. The recent
appropriation of $300 by the council
helps a whole lot but it will take,
much more than this. It takes mony
to pave and macadamize Btreets and
the work which the committee has
in view will cost money which the
public should pay. Councilman Neu

in the cemetery and is hopeful that
