In Police Court.
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.

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.

(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.'

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.

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.
