ERS TO MEET
Institute to Be Held in This City
August 8th to 12th
County Superintendent Miss Foster
is making very active preparations
for, the Cass County Teachers insti
tute which Is to be held in this city
August 8 to 12 inclusive. She has
secured a large number of special
attractions for the gathering which
promises to be the largest and best
ever held in the county. One matter
which she wants the people of this
city to give the most careful consi
deration to is the boarding of the
teachers who will be present at the
institute. She is particularly anx
ious that steps be taken to have the
teachers given every possible care
and she wants anyone who has rooms
which they care to rent to send in a
list to her office here. She wants
room or rooms and board so that she
can accomodate all the teachers who
will attend and see that proper ac
comodations are forthcoming.
This is an especially important
feature of the gathering and the pub
Death at Masonic Homo.
DIED Straight, Captain William H.,

Nebraska, on Saturday, June 25,
1910, at 12:55 a. m., of heart
trouble. Interment at Omaha, Neb.,
on June 26, 1910.
Death this morning Invaded the
Masonic home, carrying away one of
its most respected members. Captain
Straight who passed away was a re
cent inmate of the home, being ad
mitted there on the 20th of May, last,
when his health had failed him and
he was in very poor condition. Dur
ing the brief time he was in the home
Captain Straight had made himself
well liked by his many old comrades
and his death came to them as a great
personal loss.
He was born In Cincinnati, Ohio,
on the 23rd day of June, 1834, and
therefore at the time of his. death he
had reached the age of 76 years and
2 days. He has a daughter living
in Omaha where the remains will be
taken for interment. He was a mem
ber of Covert lodge No. 11, A. F. and
A. M., at Omaha which will have
charge of the services and conduct
the funeral.
To Organize a Hranrli.
Messrs. Brophy and Pennington,
representing the Railway Investors
and Employes association, are in the
city today looking after holding a
meeting tonight for the purpose of
organizing a branch of their associa
tion. Mr. Brophy will be remembered
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for railroad commissioner
two years ago and is an old Union
Pacific employe while Mr. Penning'
ton is an ex-Burlington employ who
formerly resided at McCook. The
gentlemen have met with much en
couragement ar.1 probably wl'l have
a good meeting tonight.
In County Couit.(
County Judge Beeson today held
the hearing of the petition of L. R.
Upton, administrator of the estate of
Fred Waugli Much Better.
A report was received today from
the bedside of Fred Waugh at the
Swedish Memorial hospital at Omaha
to the effect that the young' man is
very much Improved and is now get
ting along nicely. It Is believed and
hoped that he will recover now with
out any trouble and that he will soon
be well again. His many friends in
this city and vicinity will be glad to
learn of this change in his condition
and will hall his recovery with de
lght.
Miles Russell Smith, deceased, for his
11c in this city should pay the closest discharge as such administrator and
sustained the same, examining his ac
counts and allowing asme. Mr. Up
ton and the sureties on his official
bond were discharged from further
obligation thereon.
The hearing on claims against the
estate of William P. Bailey, deceas
ed, was held today in county court
and all claims allowed.
A marriage license was issued from
the office of County Judge Beeson
this morning to Charlie Votgtmalne,
aged 29 and Miss Amelia A. Stohl-
man, aged 34, both of Louisville. The
wedding will take place tomorrow at
the Lutheran church near Louisville.
attention to the matter. List all your
rooms and in cases where you care
to board the teachers add that to
the list and file the same with Miss
Foster at once. There is a well
founded belief that the number at
tending the institute will be in ex
cess of any previous held and for
this reason ample accommodation Is a
necessity.
There will be many good things
and special features at this institute.
A great educator in the person of
Dr. A. E. Winship of Boston will be
present and each day will have two
periods on the program at which he
will elucidate educational problems.
He is also booked for an evening
lecture during the course of the in
stitute. Dr. Winship is pronounced
the greatest inspirational instructor
in the United States and as such he it
well worth bearing. He will form a
very valuable drawing Card for the
big gathering and can be relied upon
to please as well as interest the many
teachers who will be in attendance
A large number of topics will be
taken up, one of the most, important
being a course in domestic science for
which the ablest instructors in the
land will be on hand. In addition a
large number of other courses have
been mapped out, all of which will be
in thoroughly capable hands and
worthy of close study. Miss Foster
has spared no time or pains in the
work of preparing for the institute
and she is bound to make it a great
success. She asks the cordial co
operation of the public in her efforts
and trusts that they will appreciate
her position and render all possible
assistance. She is particularly anx
ious about accommodations for the
many teachers who will come and
will appreciate the early submission
of the lists of rooms and rooms and
board.
The Journal acknowledges a copy
of the souvenir of the Bellevue cen
tenary at the hands of Colonel H. C
McMaken. The souvenir is an unique
one, being printed on cream paper
with many of the old fashioned wood
cuts which were the illustrating qual
ities of the early days of the town
The little pamplet is nicely illustrated
and has a great many historical notes
In it which are interesting and very
instructive. In many respects it is a
most unique and original document
and deserves to be carefully preser
ved as a memento of a great and
historical event.
Two Important Event.
Word has been received in this
city of two important events which
have recently taken place and which
afect former Plattsmouth people. It
is announced that on June 15th, last,
a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. I. M.
Deffenbaugh at Kansas City, Mo., Mrs
Deffenbaugh was formerly Miss Olive
Graves of this city and a daughter of
the late A. J. Graves. On June 19th,
a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Carl R. Graves of 1801 P street, Lin
coln, Neb. Mr. Graves was also a son
of A. J. Graves and wife. In each
case mother and child are reported as
doing well. The young people were
well known when they resided here.
ldCaptured Near Union and
Brought Back to This City.
Young Mr. Earl Morris who depart
ed so unexpectedly and so rapidly
last Thursday night. Is once more re
posing in the county bastlle, al
though there Is no warrant that he
will be there by midnight. He was
duly incarcerated last evening by
Sheriff Quinton and so far has been
content to stay in the rlcketyedifice
which Is decorated by the name of
ail. He was captured yesterday af
ternoon shortly after the Journal
went to press by Constable George
P. Barton, who, in company with sev-
eral citizens, found the lad in hiding
at a point about five miles northeast
of Union and near the Missouri river.
Morris had been seen at the home
of Claud Everett four miles and a half
northeast of Union, along in the af
ternoon and an effort made to get
him but he escaped into some woods
which lie directly south of the Everett
home. He was making his way slowly
southward and along the river when
apprehended by Constable Barton
who had been summoned when Mor
rls was discovered. The constable
took him into custody and started
for Union with him, meeting Sheriff
Quinton at the road crossing near
the Clarence farm. The constable
turned the lad over to Sheriff Quin
ton who brought him to this city.
News of Morris' discovery was tele
phoned to the Journal when he was
sighted and the Journal reporter In
formed Sheriff Quinton of the fact.
The sheriff departed for the scene
at once and had reached a point
about two miles from the scene of the
capture when he met Constable Bar
ton. It is probable the boy will be
taken to Kearney very shortly to pre
sent any more escapes.
The lad seems bound and deter
mined not to serve his sentence and
It will not be surprising if he makes
the authorities at Kearney a lot of
trouble after he gets there. He seems
to be a slippery customer and to be
determined to get away. Just why
he preslsted in going right back to
the neighborhood he came from is

I tain Badly Needed.
There is an unusually large num
ber of farmers in the city this af
ternoon doing their weekly trading
and the streets present an animated
appearance. In conversation with
many of them it is found that rain
Is being badly needed all over this
part of the country and the hope is
expressed that it will come soon.
While crops are not hurt yet except
In scattered cases where the wheat
Is being injured a continuance of the
hot weather for several days longer
will have a very bad effect and a
change is hoped for.
Grandma Horn who Is quite sick
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.

same. It is the sincere hope of her
many friends that her condition may
change for the better and that she
may recover and be among them
again.

There were many people In the city
today -from out in the country and
without exception they are pronounc
edlv In favor of a new Jail and one
which will hold criminals. The pres
ent structure Is pronounced a dls
grace and an eyesore to the commun
ity. Tl'o demand for some place In
which criminals can be confined for
trial and for sentence grows dally and
the commissioners would be doing no
more than right to heed public sen
tlment and' give the peopTe a cnance
to build a structure worth something.
The idea that one of the oldest and
most thickly settle f counties in the
state should have a Jail out of which
a 15-year-old boy can walk whenever
he is ready, strikes the general pub'
lie as little short of preposterous and
there is a rising demand for the com
missioners to take steps which will
insure a Jail building more in keeping
with the worth of the county. Morris
does not seem to regard the feat as
very unusual and probably thinks
that he might Just as well have some
fun with the officers as to waste his
time loafing about the old brick barn.
Without doubt the sheriff's office
would welcome a new structure which
would keep boys in at least and It
would be lifting a weight off the

puty, M. E. Manspeaker.

In response to an urgent demand
for educators and from other citizens

to present my name before the Re

I desire to say that the efficiency
of the Btate department of education
Is such that no one can hope to im

in close touch with the work of the
department during the past twelve
years, understanding and approving
of the leading policies of the admin

of public school conditions in tbe
state I feel that I ought to be able
if elected, to continue the present ef
ficiency of the office and to continue
the growth and Importance of this
department in its relation to the

of that smaller Iowa town, he was
surprised that anyone in Lincoln were
throwing cold water on the civic im

Mr. George is in favor of the new
high school, the sewer and the park
bonds to be voted upon June 30, and
it was in this connection that he told
of the progress of Oskaloosa.
"It is a town of 8,000 people, about
the size of Beatrice, and is the center
I of a network of the finest country
roads I have ever seen," Mr. George
said. "Although the country is hilly,
making road construction difficult,
this handicap had been successfully
overcome.
"I was told that the merchants of
Oskaloosa have offered prizes of $500
to the farmer maintaining the best
five-mile strip of highway leading to
the town. In this competition the
roads are dragged and smoothed aa
level as the paved streets of Lincoln.

An lnterurban railroad connects
