SHALL THE CITY OF PUTT MOUTH OWN WATER PUNT? On March 11, 1SS6, nearly 25 years ago, the city of Plattsmouth granted to George B. Inman and to his successors and assigns, a fran chise to construct, operate and main tain a system of water works for our city. That system of water works was constructed and ever since, has been operated, thus bringing into the homes the houses of our citizens water, that had previously been sup plied by expensive wells, requiring great labor to construct and requir ing much labor to pump and draw water therefrom. This water system has also furnished to our firemen the means of extinguishing fires In our city, thus preventing great loss In property as well as homes. The franchise of this water system, will expire March 11, 1912, and it will be necessary to renew the Bame If we keep our supply of water. It is only a little more than a year until this franchise will expire and it Is not too early now for the people of Plattsmouth to begin a discussion and consideration of the question of renewal of the franchise or of some other means of supplying our city with water. Many leading and enterprising cities some even smaller than Plattsmouth, own their own water plants, and It Is net too early for the people of Plattsmouth to consider the epedlency and advisability of pre paring to own their own water plant. The matter of cost, and whether or not ownership by the city would re duce the cost of water to consumers, are questions which the people of the city should now consider. Statistics from many cities which own their own water works, show that much expense Is saved to the water consumer and the net Incomes from the plants thus owned, come back Into the city treasury. This Is a matter which ought to Interest everyone who wishes to ate "Plattsmouth Succeed," and there Is certainly no one within the city who does not entertain this 'wish. During the last few years, and especially during the last year, Plattsmouth has forged forward as she has not done for many years. Fifty thousand dollars for a new postofflce building, now under con struction. Sixteen thousand dollars In new paving and a large portion of the same already paid for. Indebted ness largely reduced and expenses cut down. Being most earnestly Interested In the advancement and prosperity of Plattsmouth, I suggest the foregoing for the consideration of the people of Plattsmouth. Plattsmouth, Neb., Feb. 13, 1911. John P. Sattler, Mayor. SHOOTS CCOD M FOR SGHLftTER ffl FITZGERALD From Tuesday's Dally Schlater and Fitzgerald yester day sustained the loss or a valuable cow which had been running In their pasture north of this city. The ani mal died from a rifle shot fired by some person Intentionally or by acci dent. From the location of the wound It Is probable that some Irresponsible youngster fired the Bhot not caring whether he killed the cow or not. The rifle ball had entered the eye of the animal and doubtless penetrated the brain. The cow was valued at $50.00 and would hav been a fresh cow In a short time. The fact that the shot had struck the eye Indicates that the miscreant aimed at the eye as a target, and recklessly slaughtered the animal to gratify a whim. The guilty person should be run down and properly punished, no matter who he may be. Anyone who would carelessly slaugh ter live stock of another ought to do time In the penitentiary. Has New Grand Daughter. Judge Archer was summoned to the Bell 'phone yesterday to talk with his wife at Omaha, who reported the arrival of a nine-pound girl at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Corley, yesterday afternoon. The Judge made the request that the llttlo Miss be named Mike, In honor of his granddad, but could get no definite promise. DR Herman Breeder, Graduate Veterinary Surgeon (Formerly with U. S.

BERT FiCKLER PAYS A BRIEF ViSITJO PARENTS From Wednesday's Dally. Bert Frickler, a rormer Cass coun ty boy, came down from Omaha last evening to spend the night with his parents, south of town, and while in the city gave the Journal a pleasant call, and had his subscription to the Old Reliable extended another year. Hert lives near Stanton, Nebraska, where he located nearly six years ago, and is doing remarkably well. He brought to South Omaha a couple of cars of stock which reached almost the top-notch on the market, and he was feeling elated over his good sale. He returned home today. It will be remembered that his brother. Lee, rot long since was a contestant In a wrestling match In Stanton, and Bert gave us the following clipping from the Stanton Register, In reference thereto: "About 150 enthusiastic sports saw one of the best wrestling matches In the Raabe opera house that was ever pulled off In thjs part of the state. Walter Sonnonscheln was referee and Chas. Plageman timekeeper. O'Dell was 20 pounds heavier than Flckler, j but In quickness and knowledge of the game Flckler was his equal. The match was for $100 and gate receipts, and O'Dell was to get two falls In an hour. The first fall came In 17 min utes, but O'Dell could not get another fall. It was on the square and if the two men should appear here again double the crowd would be out to see tbem. An opening preliminary bout between the Woods was won by Cal Woods In 10 minutes." School Teachers Entertained. Mrs. Mae Morgan very informally entertained the teachers of the Cen tral building last evening at her home In a moiit delightful manner. The time wa9 very pleasantly passed In Eeveral amusements Interspersed with music and social conversation, In fact the teachers had Intended mak ing the evening one of frolic and one In which they would forget all the cares and troubles of teaching school. Just prior to the close of the even ing' entertainment an old-fashioned taffy pull was Indulged In, which created some more fun and some fine home made candy was manufactured ere they took their departure. The teachers were very much Indebted to Mrs. Morgan for the splendid time af forded them. In County Court. From Wednesday' Daily.
