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.

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.

ably be the last time they can get In
