Levi Patlon was observed on the street Saturday having fre- l quent, and animated conversa tions with men of various political views, and from the trend of his conversation one might infer ttiat Levi expected to meet with 1 lie Chicago convention today. His manner of walking was some what unsteady, and as the day dragged on it appeared to grow worse instead of belter, until at last the police gathered Levi in and allowed him to rest in the city prison until this morning, when he was arraigned before Judge Archer as a.plain drunk. He was given further time in the city prison to reflect and get his political bearings once more. Visits Brother at Malvern. . Dr. E. V. Cook and wife and M.

Misses and Children's Nu-buck and Canvas A JOKE IN WHICH THERE WAS NO JOKE V1SABLE Plaltsmouth, Neb., July 31. Leader-Echo, Elmwood, Neb.: Friend Clark 1 have read your article about me in your last is sue; also copy of same in Plaits mouth Journal. It, was probably intended , as a joke, but I he joker was left out. The article was de ceptive, misleading and insulting. People that are not personally ac quainted with me and do not un derstand I he facts will be mislead. You certainly have done me an in justice and the article should be corrected so that people will un. derstand that it was only a joke If you had tried, do not believe you could have made it more libelous. Yours truly, Allen J. Heeson. As the Journal published the article referred to above, we owe Judge Heeson an apology for su doing. We are in the habit of rex copying such articles from our county exchanges and must con fess that, we did nut really note how the article sounded until af ter it was in print. And suppos ing the originator of the same would make some sort of an apology for such a bad break, we wailed to copy the apology, the same as we did the first article, 't he original article was gotten up ia such shape that it really did cast some reflections upon the judge, and those who are not ac quainted with him would look up on it in a different light from those who know him so well. So we hope Judge Heeson will accept our apology, which is given in good faith. MEETS FORMER PLATTS- MOUTH BOYS OUT WEST (leorge Mann of the Journal force returned last week from a four weeks' visit in Uulfalo and surrounding counties in north western Nebraska. While in North Platte he met three former l'latlsiiioulh men Fred W. War ren, Jay Johnson ami II. II. Ilecct and together, on tin invitation of Judge Fred W. Warren, the party went to the Jap cafe and dined sumptuously. It was an enjoyable reunion of oldllime Plaltsmouth men and they passed the time very pleasantly recount mg Hieir experiences or lornier days. Fred W. Warren is a broth er of Frank Warren of this city and is a candidate for congress in I he Sixth congressional district on (lie socialist ticket. Ne was elect ed police judge on that, ticket at North Platte some lime ago and is very popular (here. He js a good orator and wide-awake. His re publican opponent in he race is Congressman Kinkaid, author of the Kinkaid homestead bill, in creasing the entry which a home steader can take from a fourth to a whole sectiou of land. Off (TEACHERS' INSTITUTE OPENED TO DAY Institute Opens Very Auspiciously With Largest First Day At tendance in Years. The county superintendent, Miss Mary E. Foster, has the smile that will not rub off. The annual session of the county teachers opened most auspicious ly this morning with an enroll ment of 83 about twenty more than there has ever been before on the opening day. Aside from that all of the instructors were Johnny-on-l he-spot and the ses sion opened with Hie greatest dis play of enthusiasm. The clouds were mighty black early in the day and it looked as though King Jupiter Pluvius was going to do his worst. Hut later he thought belter of the matter and now everyone is rejoicing that the rain came. All of the teachers are looking forward eagerly to the reception to be held tonight on the i Wcsrott-Ahbolt lawn just across the street from the High school. This reception is tendered by the Commercial club. All friends of the Cass county teachers are in vited to come out, listen to the band, eat, the refreshments and make the school lna'nis feel that they are welcome. This is the time to show that Plaltsmouth knows how to show the glad band to in vited guests. The singing by the institute to start the work was especially good. Miss l'yrtle, who has the direction of this work, was re markably pleased Hint, all look hold wit li such spirit. The second period was devoted to reading by Superintendent Ab holt. Mr. Abbott developed the importance of reading, its inti matit relation to every other sub ject taught in the schools, and its relation to a number of other important, means of expression. Superintendent Walerhouse in sisted, in an admirable and clean cut exposition, that writing is not taught as it should be taught and that, through conscious effort constantly applied it might be inu proved. It is a subject of grave importance and watchfulness on the part, of teachers which ought to be exerted all of the time. In Jlial way only can we make our pupils good writers. Miss l'yrtle, in her second period, talked about the splendid opportunity teachers have of in teresting the little people by tell ing stones well and having I he children learn to tell stories. The dramatic spirit is strong in these little tots and the most splendid results can frequently be obtain ed by having them dramatize. When Dr. Winship arrived, during Superintendent Water house's speech, there was a hearty round of applause. Mr. Waler house had just asked the question in relation to the subject he was discussing: "What have we now?" when he turned and saw Dr. Winship, and he answered his own question, "I see we have Dr. Winship." The opening of this course of lectures by this great and distinguished lecturer was listened to with breathless atten tion. Defore his course is over it is hoped that the High school auditorium will be packed for every one of his addresses. While they are prepared primarily for the teachers they will have such broad and vital interest that peo ple outside the leaching profes sion will find them full of inspira tion and good cheer. His purpose in the course as staled in this initial address will be the helping of all individually to be broader and bigger men and women and wiser and more devoted teachers. His illustrations, taken from base hall and the school room, were all given with a zest, and earnestness that made all feel it was mighty good to be there. In telling of the chance young teachers have for success, he declared that they must keep their heads and not, get rallied. "Heller be a tailender and keep your head than a cham pion team and gel rati led.' The program for Tuesday, Aug ust (', is as follows: FORENOON. 8:H0 to 9 Music Miss l'yrtle. !)

Last Thursday Fred and Waller Engelkemeier, sons of August Engelkemeier, were driving home from' Murray in a light spring wagon, when about a mile and a quarter west, of that village they met an automobile, which fright ened the team so badly that, it soon became unmanageable and ran away, throwing the young men out and knocking the breath out of Fred, who alighted on bis stomach.

MISS LUCILLE BRYAN AN LADY Miss Lucile Hryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hryan, of the vicinity of South Hend, last, September, while playing at school, dislocated her hip. She was taken to a hospital at Kirks ville, Missouri, and remained there for about seven weeks. When she came home she wore a cast for a month and walked about with I he a ill of a pair of crutches for about two months. To her parents and friends she seemed to be apparently well, but about 'four weeks ago she narllallv dis located the hip again and had to return to the hospital. U would be well for the boys and girls to take warning from this sad in cident ami be very careful in their play, as a little thing sometimes causes much trouble. Lucile is 13 years of age. The Drayman Surprised. Clans Hoce, sr., was quite agreeably surprised this morning, when he went to his barn to bitch the sorrel to his dray wagon. His sons bad, unknown to Mr. Hoetel, given his wagon a brand new coal of paint, making the box black and I he wheels yellow, with large let tered signs on side and rear to at tract attention to his line. "Hag gage," in while letters, decorated the side of the box, and "Dray" the endgale, on both inside and outside, so thai whether the end gale is up or down the "Dray" is always in plain sight. New wheels have been placed un the wagon and it now appears one of the neatest, in the business. Mr. Hoelel expects to keep right, along with the procession, regardless of the pace, and folks may as well understand this now and begin to fall in line with their baggage. Will Move Near Plattsmouth. (ieorge Schiessl, from near (ireeuw I. was in the cily several days last week visiting with a number of his old I'latlsmonlh friends and making arrangements for moving to Ibis end of the county in Ihe near future. He has rented the J. p. Falter farm west, of this cily ami will move thereto I his fall. While here Mr. Schiessl called at this olllce to renew his subscription to the Journal. He is an excellent, farmer and we are glad to welcome him to this end of the county. $7,000.00 Wanted. $7,000.00 cheap private money for a customer, (iood real estate security. See mo quick. For March 1st, 1913. C. F. Harris, Union, Neb. John Loberg of Nchawka was a Plattsmouth visitor today and a caller at the county attorney's office on important business. WEST BF Doctor (iilmore called up Mr. Caldwell and informed him of what had happened and that the oung man was badly hurt. Mr. Caldwell expressed great surprise, stating that he noticed the team shy, but had no idea that it had run away, and informed Dr. Gil more that he and Mr. Wortman would dart at once in his car for Murray .and if the doctor con hi go out with them they would see Mr. Engelkemeier and his son at once and tlx the matter up. They did so, and with Dr. ("iil more, went to the Engelkemeir home and offered to do anything in their power to make the matter right. Hoever the matter turns out, it will be conceded that Mes srs. Caldwell and Wortman have been gentlemanly and acted on the square, and as soon as they knew of damage having resulted didall they could to rectify it. Their actions in the matter show that they are honorable men and have not, tried to avoid liability should they be found to have been at fault. AMENDMENT TO THE BANK GUARANTEE LAW An amendment to the present bank guaranty deposit law, designating what should be done with Ihe accumulated money in the guaranty fund when a bank voluntarily liquidates, is needed in this state, according to E. Koyse, secretary of the slate banking board. Mr. Royse con lends that if the law contemplates that the fund is to remain intact and inviolate after it has reached its utmost proportions then it should be set out explicitly in the provisions of the guaarnly stalule. If, however, the alw in tends that the banks of the stale shall set aside this fund us long as I hey do business, and oirco provisions of the guaranty stalule. If, however, Ihe law iu holders, the slate banking official believes that Ihe provisions of the law should be made plainer so that courts would have no dif ficulty in solving possible Jitigra tion. RESIDENCE ON WINTERSTEEN HILL DESTROYED BY FIRE The Occupant Has Narrow Escape From Being Burned Most of Contents Saved. Fire broke out about, 5 o'clock" Sunday morning at the home of Mrs. Kuchinsky in the East Foujih ward. When Ihe tire was discovered by the neighbors Mrs. Kushinsky was yet asleep in her bed and'il, was with much 'difficulty that she was aroused and rescued from the burning building. The building, a three-room collage, was Hdally destroyed. It is said I hat fully twenty-live minutes elapsed after the fire was dis covered before Ihe alarm was sounded. All this time was spent, in Irving lo telephone the alarm to the parly at the whilsle. The company did good work when they arrived and prevented llii! lire from spreading to oilier properties in the vicinity. Tim hose carl on Wintersleen Kill came in good play and there is no doubt but Ihe building would have been saved hail the alarm been liirned in prumplly. The1 origin of the lire is a mystery and it seemed lo have started in Ihe bed room where Mrs. Kuchinsky lay asleep. Almost, ajl of Hie furniture was saved, but the bedding was burn ed. Fire brands were falling'nn Mrs. Kuchinsky when she was awakened by the neighbors. There was no lire in her stove 'and the lids were off the stove when it was carried from the building.
