PEMPGJix!. soil In this locality Is well adapted to the growth of alfalfa, as many of the farmers cut four and some five crops of the grass from their meadows near Plattsmouth this season. The value of the hay when converted Into meal is more than doubled in the process, which means that much more money left in the country. Some of the farmers are enthusi astic over the project and will boost for the mill. ANOTHER NEW PRO JECT IS IN SIGHT """ i One of the prominent alfalfa men of Mynard and vicinity was in the city yesterday, ana on Delng inter viewed as to the prospects of the village, stated that it looked now as though the town would take a boom. That the members of the commercial dub had begun to agitate building an alfalfa meal mill in the spring. It is figured that the project can be put through for $15,000, which the pro moters surmise will be easily raised I cently. "One oi tne clever schemes of the mail order houses is to keep their mailing list free from the names of deadbeats. To carry out this scheme they lay a trap for the unsuspecting merchants in the country towns. By meanB of this trap the country merchants furnish the names of the deadbeats in their vicinities without knowing to whom the Information goes. It seems that the mall order houses maintain credit reporting agencies here and there and that without using the names of the mail order houses these agencies cet all the Information they need from the country merchants. That's tlie Way It's Done. "Give the mall order houses credit for being smart," said a merchant re in the village and vicinity.

The two men went to the bin and took up the trail of the wagon and team. The team was easily tracked, as one of the horses was shod on Its front feet, one of the shoes being of peculiar shape. The tracks and the scattered grains of wheat were followed for some miles to the barnyard of William Becker. On investigation of the premises, the wheat was found In Mr. Becker's bin, the team was also found and the one with tho peculiar shaped foot, which tallied with the track followed by the officers was also found in the barn. On being plied with questions, Mr. Becker Btated that Jack Crawford, who has been working for blin and Ing fifty bushels of wheat on the 19th of December.

That the check was cashed in Plattsmouth. and he, Crawford, received $20 of the, money.

A cpecial from Lincoln, under date of December 21st, says: "Critics who are disposed to start an anvil horus over the appointment of Jas. Delahunty, recently named as war den or tno penitentiary, may yet judge iravis Uecides a cause some trouble. They may prefer charges before C. II. Aldrlch or take their case to the stato senate. For the appointment of a warden must be onflrmed by the upper branch of the Nebraska legislature.

It was rumored on the street that an effort would be mado to save the wife and Innocent children of defendant from the stig ma of a prosecution of the defendant, and probably a conviction for felony and Imprisonment In the pe-nitontlary. and the matter was laid before the, county attorney and a proposition to- have complaint filed for lnebrlacy and have Will confined at Lincoln tor six months at the asylum. The coun ty attorney decided to allow the law to take Its course. The sympathy of the community Is very strong for the wife and children of the derelict, but there could be no good purpose to society served by dealing any mora leniently with one Individual than an other. If a complaint for lnebrlacy would be advisable for Mr. Becker, then one of the same character would be good against Jack Crawford. probably put the wheat In the bin if any had been placed there. That he had about 20 bushels of wheat of , his own left over from year before last. Crawford was quizzed about the mat ter and said that there was no wheat in the bin before the load from the Propst bin was dumped In the pre vious night. On Inquiry at the Cedar Creek ele vator it was found that Crawford had sold a load of wheat, about the time the snow fell, and received for It the sum of about $38.00. The men, Jack Crawford and Will Becker, were ta ken Into custody by Constable Den son, and brought to Plattsmouth last evening, and were taken to the county attorney's office, where they were questioned separately about the en tire transaction, and gave very con flicting statements.

It would be well for the merchants of Plattsmouth to look Into the uni versal delivery system, whereby one man contracts to deliver goods to all parts of the city for every merchant In town. Hastings Is now enjoying a system of delivery similar to one which has been In force In Beatrice for some time. One firm does the delivering for a number of stores, the business houses paying a stated sum monthly for the use of the system. It has worked successfully In Beatrice, ac cording to the Beatrice Express, and In the course of time will undoubted ly be used by all other towns where the delivery system Is the bane of the merchant's life. $501.53, as follows: $263.20 for loss In excessive shrink of the cattle; $206.83 for damage to the cattle In that appearance was not right for a favorable market price; and $31.50 for unnecessary feed. This case was brought under the Hepburn amendment to the Inter state commerce laws, an amendment which makes the receiving carrier liable for the negligence of the con necting carrier. In this Instance the Missouri Pacific received the cat tle for transportation to Chicago, at Dunbar, turning the shipment of three cars over to the Northwestern road at Omaha. The Missouri Paclflflc turned tho cattle over In good time, but the shipment was delayed In the yards at Omaha and on the road be tween that point and Chicago so that the cattle reached the Chicago market too late, and a loss ensued. Mr. Easley contended that the cat tie lost weight, were Improperly PAVING COMPLETED AND MACHINERYJING REMOVED The M. Ford people completed the paving of district No. 'i yesterday af ternoon, and this morning removed their cement machine and carts to the M. l station and shipped theraU Seward. The streets Just completed are a vast improvement over what they were before the work was done, and the properties abutting the paved district have had much intrin sic value added to their worth, much, more than the paving tax will amount to. The city would save money In the long run, If It proceeded to have Main street paving extended west to at least Eleventh or Twelfth streets. All of the wash down High School Hill could be done away with In this way and the beauty of the street In creased materially as well as Its utili ty. Tbe life Is almost dragged out of a team taking a load of coal up that thoroughfare after a rain. The avenues also Bhould be paved out for several blocks at least, as the spring and fall rains render them all but Impassable for a time each season. The writer knows of a little city no larger than Plattsmouth, which has eleven or twelve miles of paving, and extending its paved streets some each year. Here From Eagle. George Oberle and W. Q.
