CASE DISPOSED OF
IN THEJiSIRICT COURT
Judge Travis held a session of the
district court this morning and dis
posed of some matters which were
pending.
The case of Laughlin against Wel
ton ,a spit over the possession of
certain real estate in Greenwood,
was decided In favor of the plaintiff.
The litigation grew out of a tax sale
(ertificate which covered property
of Mr. Laughlin, Mr. Welton becom
ing the tax sale purchaser. Mr.
Laughlin sought to redeem, but the
defendant objected to taking the
motley or yielding possesison of the
lots. The court found the equities
with Mr. Laughlin.
On the criminal side of the court,
Oklahoma Vanderburg, who has been
in jail awaiting a hearing for violat
ing his parol, having pleaded guilty
at the term of court last June to the
charge of wife desertion, was before
the court this morning asking for a
renewal of the parol. Vandebe.rg has
been a model prisoner, and while he
Is fchut In from tempetation to booze
he Is a good citizen. While In the
jail he has painted the Interior and
bewtlfed the old shack until some of
our citizens find it a quiet retreat and
a desirable place to rest. Judge
Travis gave Oklahoma some good ad
vice, recounting the fact that he had
been able to do without Rtimulant for
the past twenty or thirty days, and
that now that it was out of his system
he should not touch it again. And
on condition that he go back to his
family, become a sober, industrious
citizen, leaving the booze drinking
entirely alone, and that hew rite the
judge a letter every week telling
him what he was doing, the court
would renew the 'parol and permit
him to return to his wife. Rut as
soon as the pledges exacted were
.broken he would be re-arrested and
sentenced to the prnitentlarq.
Paint Is a Hig Help.

using paint quite freely this spring

coat of paint to his residence prop
erty In the Third ward, which cer
tainly adds greatly to the appearance
of the house. Mr. Clark's son-in-law,
Robert Stivers, Is doing the work.
There is room for many more to fol
low this example.

The electric light plant at the
Masonic home has been out of com

THE COMING OF THAT
PESHHE. DANDELION
Several thousand Liiuolnites are
looking forward with increasiu
dread to the coming of spring be
cause with that season the dandelion,
will again blossom forth upon the
lawn. For nearly ten years now tk-
dandelion plague has oppressed th
folks in this section. Nothing ha.-?
been found that will rid the lawns of
this pest, and the only remedy ha
been to dig and dig and then dig som
more. In vain has the News pleaded
with the experts out at the state farm
to ferret out something that would
save all this back-breaking toll, an
their failure to respond, we must ad
mit, ha3 caused us to lose a great
deal of our confidence in their abilitr
to rise to all emergencies. They hav
apparently devoted their energies tn
wards increasing crop yields, finding
remedies for soil ills and helping
agriculture generally, but have bee-n
heedless of the fact that we of th
town help pay their salaries, and
ought to get some direct benefit.
What Is a scientist for anyway, if
doesn't know more about such thing
than the common folks? Lincoln

Figure out the above table and when you
have the result you can easily see how long it will
take you to save the price of a Chopie engine so
that it will really be a present to you.
The Chopie engines are all constructed of the
best material obtainable and built by the best
workmanship to be secured. The cylinder of the
Chopie are chilled, thus making cutting or scor
ing impossible. A chilled cylinder will outwear
three or four ordinary cylindeis, because other cy
linders will not stand up under the. test to which
they are put.
The Chopie is manufactured in Plattsmouth.
This alone means much. Should a casting break
you are not bothered with wiring some foreign
firm to hurry the desired parts, and perhaps wait
five or six das for their arrival as is usually the
case. Visit the factory, see for yourself. Inves
tigate and place your order NOW.
