THE I HE
The Erection of the Platte River Bridge Has Made It Possible for
Plattsmouth to Improve More Than Ever Before If Our
Business Men "Pull Togather" to That End.
With the opening of the Platte
river bridge an air-line auto route
is assured from Omaha, Plaits
mouth and Nebraska City direct to
Kansas City, and will soon find a
place on the map as the Omaha-Plattsmouth-Nebraska
City Auto
Air Line Route to the south. The
completion of this bridge means
much to PlaUsmouth, notwith
standing there are those in our
midst who can see nothing hut
ruin to the business interests of
our fair city in the building of
this bridge. The Journal thinks
otherwise and believes, instead of
staring ruin in the face, we can
view with great glee that great
prosperity has taken hold of
Plattsmouth as never before in
many years.
Plattsmouth now has a popula
tion of nearly 5,000, according to
the last census, but we believe we
have more people here. Our lit
tle city has all the natural ele
ments for a city of considerable
note to the outside world. All
that is needed to make it so is the
combined efforts of such men as
T. II. Pollock and R. A. DufT, to
whom we owe so much for the
building of a structure that will
give the outside world an oppor
tunity to learn that we have a city
of considerable magnitude, as
they pass to and fro on the Oma-ha-PIattsmouth-Nebraska
City
Kansas City Auto Route.
The men who have been guid
ing the progress of our beautiful
little city in past years and who
have filled it with magnificent
'business blocks and splendid resi
dence will not let opportunity
go by unutilized in the future.
'The many lovely and attractive
'homes, cultured society, hand
some churches, splendid schools,
fine streets, are tests of the
-spirit, character and enterprise
of our people in former years
Combining the generosity of na
ture with its wealth of modern
improvement, our city offers con-
tentment and prosperity to all j

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
J
One of the most enjoyable
convocations that the High school
has had was the one this morning.
Miss Mildred Cook, with Miss
Mollye Godwin accompanying,
rendered the following selection:
"Berceuse," from Jocelyn, by 13.
Godard; "Gavotte," in I) Minor,
3y C. C. Stearns; "Canzonctta,"
by V. Hollaender. Miss Cook plays
with charming simplicity and
grace for one so young and a
marked success in music -is
prophesied for her on tho violin.
Each number was lmnlly and en
thusiastically cheered by those
fortunate enough to hear these
beautiful numbers. Next Thurs
day we shall hear Waldemar
-Foennichsen in piano numbers.

v.,
(A.
mosphere, teluric " and climatic
condilions are such that it is a
real pleasure to live in Platts
mouth. Nature has especially en
dowed our city with everything
conducive to the health and hap
piness of mankind. All of these
things will be worthy of note by
the strangers who pass through
our city on the Omaha-Platts-mouth-Nebraska
City Auto Route,
which has been made possible by
the erection of the Platte river
auto and wagon bridge.
As a result of the completion
of the Platte river bridge, already
we have heard many visitors to
our city remark that Plattsmouth
was destined to be one of the
principal residence cities in the
west. Our location is particularly
inviting to the "sure-enough",
home-seeker, who is looking for'
healthfulness, refinement and
congenial neighbors. There is no
more "nature-favored" spot in
Nebraska in which to buy or build
a home than in Plattsmouth.
The invitation is extended to all
who expect to follow the Star of
Empire in its westward course to
wards the sun-kissed waves of
the blue Pacific, or who are pass
ing from the northern lakes to
ward the Gulf of Mexico, to tarry
in Plattsmouth at least long
enough to look our city over and
learn the many possibilities in
store for all who are seeking new
homes or have capital to invest in
that which will insure safe and
profitable returns.
In our efforts to bUild up a
larger city, increase our popula
tion by inducing more manufac
luring enterprises to locate here,
we should throw aside all feeling
of animosity and all join hands
in a desperate effort to carry out
the true meaning of "See Platts
mouth Succeed." All hale to the
promoters of an enterprise that
we believe is destined to benefit
Plattsmouth so much, and may
the efforts of Messrs. Pollock and
Duff prove profitable to them, as
well as to all pood citizens who
aesire to see energy ana enter-
prise rewarded.

two ago will certainly not miss
the games that are to be pulled
off next Saturday night at Coates'

The local team has not yet been
selected. If you want to en
courage your home boys in a good,
clean, manly sport, come out and
give them the benefit of your
patronage.

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve

chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine at our ex
pense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
It is worse than useless to at

cathartic drugs. Laxatives or

cause a reaction, irritate and

weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and
muscles of the large intestine or
descending colon. To expect per
manent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to
healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are execdingly pleasant to
lake, being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for children, delicate
persons, and old folks, as well as
for I he robust. They act directly
on the nerves and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on other associate
organs or glands. They do not
purge, cause excessive looseness,
nor create any inconvenience
whatever. They may be taken at
nny lime, day or night. They will
positively relieve chronic or hab
itual constipation, if not of sur
gical variety, and the myriads of
associate or dependent chrome
ailments, if taken with regularity
for a reasonable length of time.
