VORK 1 THE H ROAD TO
THE MISSOURI RIVER BEGAN
The Big Grader Now on the Grounds and in Active Operation in
' ' Construction of New Road. ' ' '
Work mas commenced thlB morn
ing on the new road which is to be
built along the sand bar in front of
the city from the foot of Main street
to the ferry below the Burlington
bridge. The road, as finally deter
mined upon will follow the route of
the old ferry road over the bar, run
ning straight out to the east from
the Wain street viaduct until it ap
proaches the chute on the side of the
river, thence turning to the south
and following the high ridge along
the bar to a union with the road
which winds along the base of the
bluffs. County Surveyor Patterson
this morning located the high points
on the bar for the committee so that
they would have a line following the
highest elevation.
The committee last Saturday even
ing visited the river front after the
heavy downpour and watched the
course which the waters from the
sewer and Main street took. They
found that to build the road directly
nouth from the Main street viaduct
would bring it directly In the path of
the flow from both these outlets and
it was determined to throw the bank
up north of and above both these
points, running east until the highest
point on the bar was reached and
then to continue south along this
ridgev This will necessitate a bridge
at the croKsIng of the road and the
sewer outlet near the bend close to
the mouth of happy hollow, and this
bridge will be put in Btrong enough
and high enough to permit the pas
sage of the waters. The work this
morning consisted of moving stumps,
logs, cans, and all other Jilnk, into
shape for burial in tho bank which
is to bo graded up with the elevated
grader. The hitter piece of machin
ery Is here, and will start today on
the work of putting the bank in place.
It is the belief that tho work can be
hurried along and the road gotten
Into shape within a comparatively
short time.
The action of tho committee In
changing the course of the road so
as to avoid the low ground and get
out of the range of the flow from the
sewer and the Main street overflow
is commended by those who have
looked into the matter. It Is not be
lieved that the road will approach
close enough to the river to cause
any danger from currents in the time
of high water. The committee feels
that the waters from the river when
it is at flood stage will go into the low
land on the west of the proposed road
before it reaches the bank along the
east side of the road. This being the
case the committee thinks any cur
rent which may come from the flood
will bow down through the low
ground on the west and will not harm
the bank on the east.
Anwyay, the fact remains that the
work is now under way and there is
every reason to think It will be finish
ed very shortly, and that Plattsmouth
will have a road from the city to the
ferry. This means a great advantage
to those who want to trade here from
Iowa, and it insures them a good
road the year around.
It Is a fact not generally known to
autolsts, that the cost of cross'ng the
river here and going to Omaha is
much below the charge made far
crossing the river at Louisville, and
with the completion of this road, a
much better course to the city is In
sight. After leaving the ferry on the
Iowa side autolsts will have a straight
smooth and level road all the way to
Council Uluffs, instead of a hill road
such as the Louisville road is for
some distance. This ought to result
In diverting much of the traffic which
has been using the Platte river bridge
by way of the ferry hers and up the
Iowa side.
Kn forced Layoff.
Pen Brooks is taking an enforced
layoff from work today owing to his
having been too strong yesterday and
thinking his fist was harder than the
handle of a plow which he was manlp
ulating. He struck the handle with
the back of his hand splitting the
knuckles squarely across. The injury
did not give him a great deal of
trouble and he went on with his work.
In some manner he got something in
the Injury and the result was that
the hand became infected and started
to swell up. He had to go to a
physician and have It dressed and
passed a very uncomfortable night.
This morning he is feeling better and
doubtless will soon be himself once
more.

Ernest J. Tuey and Miss Mollie
; Seivers United in Wedlock-
A very handsome wedding took
place last evening at the Methodist
church when Pastor W. L. Austin
united in marriage Mr. Ernest Tuey
and Miss Mollie Seivers, two of
Plattsmouth'a most popular young
people. There was a very large at
tendance of friends at the auspicious
nuptials, quite a number of invita
tions having been issued and there
being a large number of out of, town
guests present.
For the occasion the church had
been modestly but effectively dec
orated in American Beauty roses
that handsomest of flowers. One
especially impressive piece of dec
orating was a very large boquet of
this handsome rose.
At promptly eight o'clock the
strains of the wedding march pealed
forth from the piano, the pianist be
ing Miss Jennie Tuey, a cousin to
the groom, and the wedding party
entered the church. Preceded by the
ring bearer, little Miss Dorie Mc-
Danlel of Council Bluffs, who car
ried the ring in a very large, long-
stemmed American Beauty rose, and
the ribbon bearers, little Aliases
Gladys Wray and Thelma Denson, the
bride came down the center aisle of
the church upon the arm of her fath
er. James W. -Server, while the maid
of honor and the bridesmaids came
down the north aisle and the groom
and best man and groomsmen entered
by way of the south aisle, the entire
party meeting at the chancel where
Hev. Austin waited to pronounce the
words which were to bind the two
young hearts for life. The bride car
ried the UBiial large boquet of bride
roses and most cuarmlngly attired
In white mesalllne with white tulle
veil. The maid of honor, Miss Zelma
Tuey carried a boquet of pink' sweet
peas and was attired in pink satin.
The bridesmaids were Miss Edna
Wray who was gowned In green,
Miss Alice Tuey whose gown was
cream colored. Miss Hazel Tuey who
was attired in blue, Miss Lillian
Thompson gowned in heliotrope, and
Miss Clara Austin dressed in green
silk.
The best man was Jennings Seiver,
a brother of the bride while the
groomsmen were Messrs. R. a. Rawis,
A. 0. Moore, Herman Eelers of Om
aha, George Hall and Don Seiver.
The ceremony which took place at
the chancel was the charming and
handsome ring service, the bride be
ing given away by her father, and
Rev. Austin pronouncing the words of
the ceremony, Thionghout the per
formance Miss Jennie Tuey at the
piano, played softly. Immediately af
ter the close of the ceremony the
guests rose and formed in line
through which the bridal party pass
ed from the church.
. After, the ceremony at the .church
a reception was tendered the newly
wedded . party at the home of the
brlde'B parents, Mr. and Mrs. James
W. Seivers which was very largely
attended. One very pleasant feature
of the gathering at the home was a
vlBit from the Plattsmouth Cornet
Band of the city who called and gave
the happy couple several selections
of music. Refreshments, dainty and
delicious, were served throughout the
course of the reception. There were
many handsome and expensive pre
sents made the couple and they re
ceived the sincere congratulations of
a very large number of friends.
The newly wedded couple are very
well known in this city where they
have lived for so many years, and
where they have spent the greater
portion of their lives. The groom Is
a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Tuey, and
Is a young man of exceptional worth
and character, lie has pronounced
business ability, and has already
made an excellent start in the world,
having attained a good position with
an Omaha firm as salesman. He Is
personally one of the most agreeable
and popular of men and all who come
In contact with him have learned to
respect and esteem his many excel
lent qualities of heart and hand.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jas. W. Seivers, of this city,
and a young lady who has grown to
womanhood here. She Is a very
handsome and accomplished young
lady and has made herself a host of
friends by her personal charm and
attractiveness. She has long been
considered one of the city's most pop
ular young ladles and one whom It
was a supreme pleasure to know.
For the present the happy couple
make their home in this city although
they will probably later depart to
some other point where Mr. Tuey's
business may call him.

Night Officer Howard M. Young
who Is some sleuth, shortly after mid
night last night trailed down a clue
which might have terminated in
startling circumstances had it turn
ed out that way. The brave officer
and be it known to all men, he is
some brave officer was on his night
ly beat down the alley back of the
store of F. S. White when he dis
covered two persons of the male sex
who listened to him like malefactors.
Now a malefactor In the night Is a
suspicious party and the good officer
took a long breath and a firm grip
upon his trusty cannon and hailed
said two malefactors in a loud voice.
One of them leaped to his feet and in
the twinkling of an eye had vanished
amid the Stygian darkness with which
moved not nor did he stir and the
officer crept upon him even as dread
pestilence moves upon its hapless vic
tim. Presently he was within readi
ng distance and he seized upon and
did then and there and thereby yank
said suspicious character out from
under the porch where he was sleep
ing. All this happened at the ex
treme rear, of F. S. White's store
building in the alley between Main
and Pearl streets in the city of
Plattsmouth, county of Cass and state
of Nebraska. The find proved to be
a lad some fifteen years of age who
could not explain to the officer why
he had gone to sleep there nor would
he tell anything about the other party
whom the shrewd man had scared
out. In consequence the lad was
taken to goal to spend the remainder
of the night while the officer trailed
up and down the streets and alleys In
search of the other party but failed
to locate him. Thia morning Chief
Rainey took a hand in the game and
cross-examined the lad finding him to
be one of the genus embryo hobo,
with no indication of being a high
born criminal or low born desperado
In his blood, consequently because he
let him go hence untrammeled and
as free as the Joyous east wind.

The Late John Dreamer.
Some days since the Journal chron
cled briefly the death of John Dream
er, father of Mrs. Charles Cook, liv
ing southwest of this city, at his home
near Elmwood. This aged man was
called at the ripe period of 81 years,
8 months and 4 days, having been
born on September 18, 1828, in Ger
many, and departing this life at Elm
wood on May 22, 1910. The de

year 1861 settling in Missouri and. in
1871, moving to Nebraska, locating
near the now town of Alvo. He re
mained a resident of that vicinity uu
til about eight years ago when he re
moved to Elmwood. He was mar
ried in Missouri to Anna Wuermann
and of this union ten children were
born, two of whom have since died.
Since the year 1874, he had been a
devout member of the Evangelical
church and to the end had retained
his faith in a glorious hereafter. He
had been ill for a long time and had
borne his sufferings patiently, being
resigned to await the Divine "Will.
His surviving relatives consist of a
widow, two sons, seven daughters,
twenty-five grand children and two
great grandchildren.

have the sincere and heartfelt sym
pathy of all in their great loss and
bereavement. - "
