THE llffl ROAD
TOTHE FERRY
The Journal Reporter Takes Trip
Over New Roadway
John Hatt, Jr., last evening fav
ored the Journal man with a trip In
his auto wagon, over the new ferry
road and it was a very pleasant one,
indeed. The new road Is In fine
shape right now and with a little
more work at the approach under
the viaduct at the foot of Main street
it can be considered one of the best
roads in this section. It has been
veil made and is packing down and
settling into shape nicely. The road
stands much higher above the level
of the bar over which It runs than
appears from the Burlington tracks
above it. The distance above the
bar ranges from at least four feet
to probably two or two and a half
feet. This is considered an ample
height to avert danger of washing out
In flood times and promises to af
ford a good, substantial roadway for
vehicles. The lowest spot on the
road barring the bridge over the
sewer outlet is on the east just south
of where the road turns. This part
is only a few feet above the level
of the sandbar and should be raised
at least a foot higher.
Farther down the old bridge over
the sewer is several feet below the
level of the road and it is hoped that
this can be replaced shortly with a
new one which will be stronger and
of the proper height. It is the In
tention to have this bridge In before
July 4th, so that those who patronize
the big show will find a fine road
into the city from the free ferry
which will run all that day. The
committee having the bridge matter
in charge is confident that visitors
will not be disappointed and that
they can bring their autos, their
wagons, their carriages and any othef
old kind of vehicle over the road and
bridge into the city.
Below the bridge considerable work
is still to be done on the road which
is very narrow at points around
Rocky Point and this should receive
prompt attention as there is every
prospect of big travel over the road
from now on and certainly on the
fourth. It will not take a great deal
of work to move the rock and earth
which has caved down from the bank,
and throw it over into the bottom,
. widening out the roadway for two
teams and smoothing and leveling it
down. Just below the point there is
a rail of the old Burlington track
sticking out of the road which is very
dangerous and which should be re
moved at once. This obstacle is es
pecially bad for auto tires and prompt
action should be taken to get rid of
it. Below this one little spot needs
widening and the rest of" the road is
all right. At present there is no
good landing on the Iowa side for the
ferry and considerable trouble Is ex
perienced In getting the boat up to
the shore. This will be done away
with in a very few days though and
the ferry will be up to the shore and
prepared for handling all travel very
easily.
The main part of the new road is
broad and smooth, there being plenty
of room for two teams to pass at
the narrowest part and at other
, places there is ample room for three
and four teams abreast on it.
Altogether the road Is a fine im
provement and reflects great credit
upon the gentlemen who have had It
in charge. They secured a great deal
of work for the money expended and
have given Plattsmouth a fine start
toward a system of excellent roads In
to the city. The same policy should
be kept up and every possible facility
should be afforded the public to get
here and do Its trading. The com
mercial, club has done well In this
caRe and deserves the greatest com
mendation. They have taken a Ions:
step toward capturing a good part
of the western Iowa trade and if the
merchants will now boost and reach
out for It, it will come. The ferry is
capably managed and the men in
charge are making every effort to
handle travellers with speed and com
fort, so that the outlook is very good,
indeed, for big business from that
country.

STRIKERS GET
Judge T. C. M linger Cites Them
For Contempt of Court
From Saturday's Dally.
Havelock is having more grief
with the boilermakers strike and, like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down.
Trouble of all kinds seems to hover
over that unfortunate city while down
here in Plattsmouth things are peace
ful and the full dinner bucket is seen
on every hand. The State Journal
this morning says:
J. W. Jonas, president of the boil
ermakers union at Havelock, together
with five other members, James
Macho, J. F. Martin, -C. W. Jonas,
Charles Peterson and Walter Hart
shorn, were cited yesterday by Judge
T. C. Munger in federal court to ap
pear next Tuesday at 9:30 a. m., and
answer an Information for contempt
filed by the Burlington railroad
Thomas O'Donnell, who runs a pool
room at Havelock, was ordered to ap-1
pear at the same time. The charge
is that the seven men have violated
the terms of the restraining order is
sued from federal court o'n May 11,
commanding the strikers from inter
fering with non-union employes in
the railroad shops. While O'Donnell
has never been formerly enjoined, it
is alleged that he had knowledge of
the writ and is liable for contempt
anyway, tl Is asserted that two shop
workmen were assaulted last Tuesday
night and beaten up by a crowd of
union men and sympathizers, and that
other acts of a threatening nature,
have been committed by the latter.
President Jonas of the Havelock
boilermakers' union yesterday morn
ing called upon Sheriff Hoagland and
asked to be appointed a deputy sher
iff. He stated ,'the seven deputy
sheriffs who had been appointed at
Havelock were all company men and
that they Insisted upon following the
strikers, insulting them and seeking
to work up disturbances. He wanted
to be appointed a deputy so that he
could protect himself. The sheriff de
clined to make the appointment, but
stated that he would visit Havelock
during the day and investigate condi
tions. During the afternoon Sheriff Hoag
land and Deputy County Attorney
Strode went out to the seat of the
reported disturbance and interviewed
a number of people. Sheriff Hoag
land stated that he did not get to
talk with any of the strikers, but that
he had met a number of business men
and workmen In the shops and the
general opinion seemed to be that
Jonas himself was the author of most
of the trouble which had been raised.
The Bherlff stated that he learned
that there were but three deputies on
duty and these were not looking for
trouble. They guarded the men who
were working in the boiler shops
when the latter went up town and
from what the sheriff heard, Jonas
was in the habit of standing on the
street and making remarks to them.
"Many of the people with whom I
talked stated that there would bo no
trouble if Jonas was not there," said
the sheriff.
Judge Strode stated that he had
merely gone with the sheriff at the
request of the latter and did not be
lieve that Hoagland had found any
reason for removing any ot the depu
ties. For Sale.

THE FOURTH
Red Men Have Committee Out
to Secure Entries.
The committee on the Redmen par-
ade for the next Fourth of July turn
ed out this, morning on an earnest
canvass of the mercharts of the city,
to try and ascertain just what was in
store for the order in the shape of a
parade, representing the Industrial
and business life of the city. The
committee consisted of Messrs. Frank
E. Schlater and Thomas Walling and
they certainly met with excellent suc
cess. Their canvass resulted in showing
them that the live wires are all work
ing, and there will be a parade as
good or better than that of the
Fourth of two years ago. They met
with an enthusiastic welcome every
where, and there is no doubt that
there will be at least 90 per cent of
the merchants and business men lin
ed up with a display. The committee
was most agreeably surprised at the
small number who did not feel as if
they could afford to join in the big
parade. The circumstances of those
who did not Join convinced the com
mittee In a major part of the cases
that their declination was well found
ed, although In several cases the mat
ter was objected to from principle,
and because the parties never did
parade.
This insures Plattsmouth the best,
biggest and grandest parade in the
hlstor of the city. The fact that three
prizes are to be hung up,' consisting
of $25, $15 and $5, forms quite an
inducement for the display. The
I rules governing the parade and the
character of the floats will be made
public within a few days, and in
ample time for all to form their
floats along the lines Indicated in the
rules. It Is realized that two years
ago a serious mistake was made in
not specifying the points which would
be considered, and It Is hoped this
will be avoided this year. It can be
stated the rules will be to allow so
many points for originality of design,
effectiveness of display of the goods
or Industry represented, general ap
pearance of the float, expensiveness
of the float and particularly attrac
tive reatures tnereor. 'this means
that the field is open to all and that
the prizes will be awarded unon the
points so that just one particular Idea
will not in itself, carry off the vic
tory.
The general indications now are
that the lodges of the city will be
nearly all represented by handsome
floats which will be a great credit
to them. The Red Men are barred
from all competition for prizes and
they will merely appear as represen
tatives of that great fraternity. It
is expected the Elks, the Eagles, the
Woodmen, the Royal Neighbors, the
A. O. U. W., the Degree of Honor, the
Royal Arcanum, the Woodmen of the
World, the Knights and aLdies of
Security, and the many other socie
ties of the city can find time and
room to enter something in the way
of a float which will preach the grand
doctrine of fraternity and assist In
building themselves and their broth
er organizatons.
It s proposed to have a float repre
sentlng the Grand Army, the great
defenders of the flag, and one for the
Woman's Relief Corps, the noble
mothers, wives and sisters of the re
hellion in line as peculiarly appro
priate to the memory of the great
day and the great country which they
did so much to preserve.
With all these, Plattsmouth's par
ade of July 4, 1910 ought to be a
record breaker and ought to prove
a grand drawing card in itself.
The thing to do now is to call ev
eryone's attention to the fact that on
July Fourth all roads lead to Platts
mouth and that the grandest celebra
tlon ever held In the city will take
place here on that date. The Red Men
are back of It and they are the orl
glnal Americans and want to prop
erly observe the natal day of the na
tlon.
The committee on the parade fin
Ished their work this afternoon when
the last of the merchants was seen
and the result is more than they had
expectd during the morn.-:;?, riem
wll be a representation In the par
ade from practically every business
house in the city. This is an assured
feet. There may be one or two Strang
glers but the vast mass business men
were outspoken In their desire to
encourage the celebration and make
it a success. Some of those who had
first refused from principle to enter
the parade have Blnce reconsidered
their refusal and notified the com
mittee they would be on hand and
put their shoulder to the wheel and
help Plattsmouth Bucceed. This is
the right spirit and the Indication
are for the largest, longest and most
striking parade ever put on in this
city. Those from out of town can
now plan to come to Plattsmouth for
that day for there will be enough to
have created quite a stir among clothing buyers. We
are nearly sold out oo the blue serges, but have added
a Dumber of other suits to the line for this week,
which makes the picking good. These are unusual
suit bargains and you cannot affoid to overlook them.

Burlington to Lay No More Track
on Wyoming Extension
According to George W. Holdrege,
general manager of the lines west of
the Missouri river for the Burlington
road, there has been a hold-up in the
plans for improvements and exten
sions, which will agregate over $1,-
000,000 in the Big Horn basin alone.
The contracts for the grading of
about 100 miles of track In Wyom
ing have been let and the work w ill
be completed, but the tracks will not
be laid until a future date.
Mr. Holdrege said that the change
in the original plans is due to the
money market and the treatment In
general which the railroads have been
receiving. The Burlington's budget
provided for the expenditure of about
$30,000,000 on Its entire system this
year. Contracts have already been
let for about $10,000,000 worth of
new rolling stock, and the grading
contracts were signed before the pres
ent feeling of dissatisfaction on the
part of he railroads with the way
decisions are coming down from the
supreme court.
The policy of the Burlington se'ems
to be similar to that of the other
western roads who were planning to
expend large amounts of capital. The
plan is to hold up ail unnecessary
work and to finish only those ex
tensions which were contracted for
before the present situation. The
Burlington has completed already the
most difficult part of the grading for
the south extension from Thermop-
olls, as the road for the tracks Is
nearly completed through the Big
Horn canyon, where a pathway had
to be cut through solid rock
Mr. Holdrege said that he didn't
know the exact amount of work that
will W held up on account of the
general order to retrench, but he said
that 100 miles of rails will not be
laid until some later date, which will
depend upon future conditions. Om

Kennedy-Monroe.
Robert Kennedy and Miss Nannie

ternoon at 4 o'clock at Pacific Junc
tion, the ceremony taking place in
the presence of a few relatives and
friends at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Monroe.

The couple were attended by Fred
H. Croak as best man and Miss Ge

supepr followed the ceremony. A
feature of the occasion was the pres
ence of the four grandparents of the
bride, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Monroe
and Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart, all of
Plattsmouth.
The groom's home is In Kansas,
and he has been in this vicinity for
several years. He Is an energetic
young man and is now In the employ

Satunluy Half Holiday.
The new storekeeper at the Bur
lington shops surprised and delight
ed his office force this afternoon by
proclaiming a half holiday for them.
This rule will probably continue on
throughout the Burner, the office
closing down at noon instead of put
ting In the full day. The action great
ly pleased the boys and young ladles
alike and Is certainly apreclated.
Most of the male portion of the of
fice tore themselves off to Omaha to
see a base ball game while what be
came of the young ladles Is some
mystery but the Impression prevails
that they tried their best to keep
cool. The remainder of the offices
and the shops all worked the usual
time, although there is a rumor to
the effect that the Saturday half holi
day Is to continue Indefinitely and be
applied to all the shops and offices
until the heated term Is past.
The Jude Forgot It.
Judge Beeson this afternoon united
In marriage Mr. A. L. Hart of Wter-
loo, la., aged 38 and Miss Blanche
Morgan of Sioux City, la., aged 21.
The couple came down from Omaha
on train No. 92 and returned to that
city on train No. 23, making a re
markably fast Jump into matrimonial
bliss. ' The Judge was some worked
up over having to tie the knot with
neatness and dispatch so to speak
and came near overlooking one of
the Important functions of the affair
He forgot to get the official name of
the witnesses to the event and had
to give an exhibition of sprinting to
the train to head off the. parties be
fore they could get beyond his Juris
diction. It is claimed that the ner
vous energy of the groom perturbed
the usual serently of his judicial high
ncss and caused this contretemps.
However, he landed the missing wit
nesses after a swift chase and ob
tained their official signatures to be
used In validating the cerflcate.

Is Receiving Treatment at Hos
pital at Hot Springs.
The many friends of Mrs. Rush O.
Fellows, formerly of this city but now
of Belle Fourche, S. D., will be glad
to note that she is now on her way
toward recovery from a very severe
attack of Inflammatory rheumatism
Mrs. Fellows has been at Hot Springs.
S. D., for some time under treatment
for this complaint and her friends
have great hopes that her Improve
ment will continue and that she will
soon be entirely well. The Northwest
Post has the following to say regard
ing the matter:
At 8:23 Tuesday morning, when
the writer left the Sister of Lourdes
hospital at Hot Springs, Mrs. Fel
lows was almost free of pain from
her attack of inflammatory rheumat
ism and feeling better generally than
at any other time since her attack
on May 31. The dally hot baths, the
rubbing and the hot packB given by
the train nurses, and the medical at
tention by Dr. Walker, noted as the
very best physician In the western
part of the state, seems to be hav
ing the desired effect, and it is be
lieved that she wil be convalescent
within the next ten days. Sister
Martina, who we have known for
many years, has general charge over
all the patients at the institution, and
too much cannot be said to her credit
for the manner in which she gives
each and all of them a dally visit.
while the nurses are very competent
and faithful. Those who desire to
send a postal to Mrs. Fellows may
have the same delivered by address
ing in care of the Sisters' Hospital.
