MISS KITTY CUMMINS
While the car shortage this
year is felt keenly, I here is not
the damage that usually attends a
similar condition. Shippers as
a rule have responded to the call
of the railroads for prompt load
ing and unloading, and there is
less friction over holding cars for
storage than usual.
Nebraska railroads, according
to Secretary Allen of the stale
railway commission, have had no
complaints within the past few
days upon the car shortage score,
as far as the slate officials have
been apprised. Occasional re
mote cases have been brought to
the commission, but these have
been adjusted with little or no
difficulty. A shipper at Henedict
reported yesterday that he had
been unable to obtain sufficient
cars for the past week. An in
vestigation led to the discovery
of the reason, and the matter was
at once arranged with the railroad
company so that cars were forth
coming at once.
The movement in grain is not
expected to be as extensive or as
congested in this state as it is re
porled to be in Kansas, owing to
the difference in conditions in the
two states. Later selling usually
characterizes the grain movement
in this slate, according to grain
men.
Miss Lewis Entertains.
Miss Mae Lewis pleasantly
enlerlainetl u company ol young
people Thursday evening in honor
of Miss Pearl Dugay, who will at
tend school at Plaltsmoulh the
coming year. Parlor games were
the principal amusement of the
evening, and one that caused
great deal of merriment was the
pursuing of the necktie, and al
though blindfolded, Joe Creamer
and Wayne Lewis won the prize.
Refreshments were served by
Pearl Dugay and Mae Lewis, after
which all adjourned to their
homes, thanking Miss Lewis for
a very pleasant evening and wish
ing Miss Dugay a happy and
protltable school year. Those
present were: Misses Elizabeth
Hall, Willa Moore, Hose Mae
Creamer, Margaret Moore, Esther
Hay, Vera Moore, Pearl Dugay,
Mae Lewis ami Ifenrella Creamer;
Messrs. Joe Creakier, Isaac Hall,
Ed Creamer, ftussie Good, Wayne
Lewis, Vergel Sedaih. Frank
Dugay and Lloyd Lew is.
Mowing RIght-of-Wajr.
J. F. Clugey of Plattsmouth has
been near Murray for the past, few
days and finished the task of
mowing the M. P. right-of-way
Wednesday of this week. Mr.
Clugy bad the contract from the
Platte river to Murray and has
been employed at the work for
almost a month.
The University School of Music,
Lincoln, Nebraska, takes pleasure
in announcing the opening of
Miss Kiltie Cummins studio for
the fall term, as well as Miss
Cummins continued connection in
the capacity of accredited teacher
in Platlsmoulh for the University
School of Music. Miss Cummins'
splendid work last year is so well
known to the people of Platts
mouth that if only remains for us
io mid our praises ami congratu
lations. The University School of
Music has new and very interest
ing plans for their accredited
teachers, as well as for matri
culated pupils this coming sea
son, which will be mentioned
from time to time. It is the in
tention to make the pupils feel
very much the importance of be
ing matriculated with the Uni
versity School of Music. It is to
be hoped that more pupils will be
interested in the scholarship con
test next year, the conditions for
which will be pubusnen soon.
The University School of Music
recommends without reserve Miss
Cummins' studio as the proper j
place for systematic instruction
under the guidance of the greatest
music school in the west.
NUMBER ENROLLED IN
THE CITY SCHOOLS
While the Journal a few days
ago gave announcement of the
opening of the city schools, we
were unable to give the full at
tendance at these schools, and as
the public school is one of the
greatest factors in the life of the
community, we believe the follow
ing figures on attendance will be
of interest to the citizens, who
may well be proud of the showing
made by our schools: High
school, 158; Central building, 380;
Columbian, 160; First ward, 13;
Second ward, 3(5; West Second
ward, 42; Fourth ward, 72; South
Park, 42; Mercerville, 13. This
is a splendid showing of the grow
ing of our population and also of
the work of Superintendent Ab
bott, who is ever alert to any
thing that tends to improve the
schools and to bring all the pupils
to the schools for instruction.
N. K. Thursday afternoon. The
egular business of the society
was transacted ami a delicious
wo-courso luncheon was served.
AH present went home feeling
glad of one more opportunity to

hostess.
The Correct Standpoint.
The theory that the origin of
the majority of diseases is to be
found in I he organs of digest ion is
gaining more followers from year
to year and the treatment usually
begins there. This proves that
our standpoint was perfectly cor
rect when we recommended the
use of Triner's American Elixir of
Hitler Wine in all diseases starl
ing Willi loss of appetite and of
strength and with constipation or
some other irregularity of diges
tion. We now have the satisfac
tion that more and more of this
remedy is sold every year. Wo
wish to recommend it to those
who are unable to accept as much
food as their body needs or who
cannot digest it completely; also
to those who suffer after eating
with eructations, pain in the
stomach, costiveness. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, 1333-1339

Bitten by Snake.
Mrs. Sol Haldwin, residing east
of Murray, was bitten three times
by one snake at her home last
Sunday. The reptile was not a
very large one nor or a very
poisonous variety, as nothing of
a serious nature has resulted
from the bites up to the present
tune. The snake had been carried
into the bouse with a basket of
cobs nnd set its fangs into Mrs
Hablw in's hand three limes when
she attempted to remove the cobs
to the stove.
Peaches.
Will have a number of bushels
of peaches for sale.

J. W. Pitman Injured.
The Journal very much regrets
to learn that our excellent citizen,
and our mighty good old friend,
J. W. Pitman, was quite seriously
injured at his home, near Union,
last Friday, lie was assisting his
son, Charley, in making some re
pairs on a disc, and the repair
work occasioned his taking a
position between the team am
the disc. One of the animals al-
tached to the disc was n colt, am
it suddenly decided to lay down
in the harness and dropped its
hind quarters squarely upon the
old gentleman's hip, rendering
quite a severe fracture. Owing to
Mr. Pitman's advanced years, he
being 70, it will require some
time to repair the injury, should
be ever gain complete control of
il again. The many friends hope
for the better.
Lawn Party.
The beautiful country home of
Mr. and Mrs. Galen Rhoden was
the scene of much merriment Sat
urday evening, when Mrs. Rhoden
and Miss Ilortense Shepherdson
of Weeping Water entertained a
large number of neighbors and
friends, there being about one
hundred guests. The porches
and lawn were made very at
tractive by being lighted with lan-
erns, and the evening: was a most
ideal and delightful one for a lawn
tarty. A great many different
games were played, wlncli an ine
oting people enjoyed, while the
older ones sat in the parlors and
in the porches and listened to
Miss Gladys llhoden play the
phonograph, which they likewise
njoyed. .lusl before luncheon
was served, which was a very de
licious one, consisting of ice
cream, cake and lemonade, a
young men's chorus rendered a
number of selections out on the
lawn, which were very much ap
preciated by the large company
of guesls. At a late hour all de
parted for their various homes,
voting Mr. and Mrs. Rhoden and
Miss Shepherdson royal entertainers.
