F L OF IS. JUSIU5 G. RIGHEY IT ST. LUKE'S Church Is Crowded With Friends Gathered to Pay Their Last Tribute to This Kind and Noble Woman. From Wednesday'! Pally. The funeral service of Mrs. J. G. Richey occurred yesterday at 2 o'clock at St. Luke's church, and was conducted by Canon Burgess, rector of the church of which Mrs. Richey had long been a consistent and valued member. The church would not hold all of the friend3 of the deceased who had come to observe the last rites cele brated in honor of her memory. A wealth of beautiful white chrysanthe-! mums were banked about the altar and on the casket, silently expressing the admiration felt by the donors of k the beautiful Christian character of .Mrs. Richey. The music consisted of numbers furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. Britt, Mrs. Donnelly, Mr. Ralph "White and Mr. B. A. McElwaln. The pall bearers were: County Treasurer F. E. Schlater, Clerk of District Court J. M. Robertson, Coun ty Cierk D. C. Morgan, Walter White, C. C. Tarmele and Bert Pollock. The out of town relatives attend ing the funeral were Mr. and Mr. Claud Everett, of Inion; Mr. I'.d. I'. Grimes and daughter, Mrs. llelea Mortison; Mr. Arthur Richey, of ln lianola, Itwa; Wayne DIcImoo, o l.iij.-ilu and Mrs. Emily Drw, o Omaha. I write these few lines in the hope that they may help someone else whose friend has departed on the long journey: Release. In life s rich Indian summer, 'ere the days of sere and yellow leaf had come to her, Longing for life yet trusting that Llil Ml Mil Seems to Think that Councilmen Done Him Injustice. As Councilman Gravitt, of the Fifth ward, has seen fit to publicly criticise some of my work for the city, although he did not name me, I feel that in justice to myself some explanation should be made. The statement made by the councilman from tho Fifth last Monday night, that a man and team had been sent to mend a portion of the street well out on the city limits in the Fifth ward and bad nailed on one board and turned the team out to graze and that the council had allowed the bill for a full day for the work done there, Is false. On the day this work was done, I had my team on the sprinkler and at 4 o'clock, p. m., I started from town to fix the culvert in the Fifth ward. I nailed two planks on the culvert and filled up a large hole with the Bhovel, and was back to Main street by 5:15, and the bill for that day allowed by the'clty council covered an hour and a half spent on that job. Council men should give the devil his due In their speeches before that honorable body, and Btick to facts and with stand the inclination to spring some thing sensational on the public. I have a similar grievance as to Councilman Neuman's utterance in an oration delivered by him at the last session of the council In which he expressed pain at seeing my team, although he did not name me, stand for two hours on High School Hill last Saturday. I will admit the team did stand for a short time while necessary for me to work with the shovel filling in the deep ditch, so that the team could be put In It, but the team did not stand a minute longer than was necessary. And I can assure the councilmen that If I had taken the team home after the plowing was done and brought them back after I had filled in so the team could pass over it, l woultf have lost more time than the way I did proceed. But, If the council wish It, I will do the work their way, and take the team to the barn where it will be out of sight, for I do not want to be responsible for causing any member of the council to worry himself sick about the team standing. I have aimed to do the work assigned me in the way best for the Interests of the city. Respectfully submitted, W. B. Rishel. Mr. A. J. Seaman, of Omaha, vis ited bis friend, W. K. Fox, for a few hours between trains today. . E I S UH all-wise Hand that directs the planets In flieir course, Doubting no particle the wisdom of that power, That elemental God whose all seeing eye As well the fall and rise of em pire sees, As well likewise the humblest cot ter's grief. Trusting her Father and his omnis cient power, Passed to the other shore without a sign. You knew me best, my mother, In this world, You hear me now and recognize my grief, No longer will the barrier of clay Hold ua apart. Tonight you un derstand, You know at last my weakness and my strength, You know alike their reason and their source, Sometime when time no longer Is, Somewhere, where space no longer bounds, We'll meet again in perfect har mony. ' 'Till then farewell. I say the last good-bye, That parting which we never knew on earth. Rest that frail body on the numule clay, Soar that majestic SDiiii. to me highest star. And when the day Is over And when the work is done, We're gathered In our father's home, Each pilgrim, one by one. J. L. Richey. November Fifteenth, 1910. PLATTSMOUTH SURE OF THE RIFLE RANGE A special from Lincoln to the World-Herald has the following in reference to the rifle range, so much talked about, and which will prob ably be located near Plattsmouth: "As soon- as the military board ap pointed to recommend a rifle range In Nebraska has reported a fight promises to develop. There Is a range available near Plattsmouth that can be purchased for the $2o, 000 appropriated by the federal gov ernment for this purpose. There 13 also a range at Ashland that Is gen erally considered more satisfactory, but it cannot be purchased for the amount appropriated. The tip has been passed around that the military board Is going to recommend the Plattsmouth grounds. If this is done the people near Ashland and those interested In selling the property, propose to start something. It is said that the range near Plattsmouth Is so small that only a few riflemen can be accommodated at one time and that the land also lies so near the river that the eratic Missouri may come along in flood time and lop off the $25,000 bit of ground at one bite." The grounds most favored by the board, who came here to view the different sites In this vicinity, are not located on the Missouri river bottom at all. In the next place, the grounds are extensive, and just as well adapt ed for the purpose, if not more so, as those located at or near Ashland. Another thing, they are located much nearer Fort Crook, and, therefore, more accessible for the purpose. A more beautiful location could not be desired. Of course there will be some kicking, no matter where the range may be located, and Platts mouth is as able to stand all the kick ing that the opponents of the location can extend to us, as any other town.

Oak street, Platts mouth, Nebraska, says: "I will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills, as they proved of such great benefit to me several years ago. For some time I was caused much suffering by attacks of lumbago that came on without' the least warning. The sim plest movemeut was painful and 1 was also annoyed by irregular pas sages of the kidney secretions. I read so much about Doan's Kidney Pills that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co's drug store. 1 was so gratified with the results of their use that I publicly recommend ed them in 1906 and at this time, I willingly verify that statement. 1 hope that other kidney sufferers will profit by my experience."

Robertson this morning received from the clerk of the supreme court a mandate Informing the clerk that the clerk of the supreme court had received a mandate from the supreme court of the United States to the effect that the judgment of the su preme court of the state of Nebraska against the Missouri Pacific Railway company, affirming a decision of the district court of this county, had been reversed in the federal court, and the costs, amounting to the sum of $244.50 had been taxed to the State of Nebraska. The mandate of the Nebraska supreme court to this court Is to the effect that the plaintiff In the dis trict court of Cass county has had Judgment rendered in that court re versing the judgment of the district court and taxing to plaintiff the costs In the supreme court, amount Ing to the sum of $24 . 65, in addition to the costs in the supreme court of the JLTnited States of $214.50. The case will be remembered as having been commenced by the Man ly Elevator company against the M P. R. R. company for a $500 penalty allowed by a statute of the state against a common carrier failing to provide sidetrack facilities, and was begun In the name of the State of Nebraska, as the law required. The mandate does not state the decision of the federal rourt, but most likely the statute was found unconstltu tional. The matter was taken up with the railway commission later, and ad justed.

SICKNESS I Gordon Furs THE VERY PRETTY WEDDING AT ST. LUKE'S From Tuesday's Dally A pretty wedding occurred at St. Luke's church this morning in which one of Plattsmouth's talented young women, Miss Kathleen llochstraseer, was united In marriage to Rev.

"Bud" Clark, assistant foreman of the Missouri Pacific bridge gang, now at work on the Piatt bridge, had the index finger of his right hand seriously mashed yesterday af ternoon. The workmen were engaged In handling some heavy timber when Mr. Clark had his finger caught be tween two of the planks, almost sev ering the finger at the first Joint. It Is not known yet as to whether or not the Injured member will have to be amputated or not, as the surgeon attending him prefers to wait a day or two before deciding. Mr. Clark will be compelled to take a lay off for several days, feeling that It Is very fortunate that he did not have more of the fingers Injured.

UosGoft's HOME OF SATISFACTION FIND COUNTY FARM IN EKGELLENT CONDITION After tho session of the board of county commissioners yesterday, the members went in a body to the coun ty farm for the purpose of inspecting the building, and crops and In a gen eral way ascertain what the county's efficient "poor farm" superintendent, Mr. Tarns, has done with his time during the year. The board returned to the- city about 5 o'clock, p. m more than pleased with Mr. Tarn's work. They found he had on. hand about forty head of hogs, a number of head of cattle, two good teams of horses, about 1,500 bushels" of corn,!1''08 600 bushels of wheat, four or five hundred bushels of oats and other products. The farm, for the first time, will this year be about self sup porting. The interior of the resi dence was found comfortable and In viting, every part of it clean and san itary. The heating plant just put In this fall Is giving the best of satisfac tion, making the home of the coun ty's poor a desirable place to live. The ten or twelve Inmates were never better cared for than at present. The board is certainly to be con gratulated on the showing Mr. Tarns has made., And he has agreed to paint the interior of the building, which has become smoked from the stoves in the past years, provided the commissioners will furnish the paint. This Improvement will be made at once. Khali Women Vote? If they did, millions would vote Dr. King's New Life Pills the true remedy for women.

If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-brewthing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are io the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is deficiency of vital force, luntfuor. restlessness, a sallow check. hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and tho sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Tierce's Gold en Medical Discovery, It increases the vital power, cleanses tho system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed.
