M HEAT to
DELIVERED
This is notice to the people of Plattsmouth,
customers of Kunsman & Ramge:
We have come to the conclusion
and completely convinced that on
account of the high prices of meats,
we can make it an object for you
and everyone to come for your pro
duct. We have fully decided to quit
delivering meat to anyone after No
vember 2nd. We are satisfied you
will be more pleased to select your
meats and save yourself from 3 to
5c per pound on most of the cuts.
The high price of itock and meat
and the expense of delivering has
compelled us to discontinue the de
livery business after Nov. 2.

Pictures Failed to Arrive.
The manager and patrons of
the Majestic theater were greatly
disappointed last evening over
the failure of the Omaha parade
pictures to arrive, only the Wood
men dedication pictures being
sent. This is the fault of the
film exchange and Manager
Shlaes will endeavor to secure the
remaining series of pictures later.
The other pictures were of the
usual high standard that have
been shown at this pday house.

Articles of Incorporation Filed
and So mo of Our Best Citizens
Compose the New Company.
"Tlie Chopie Gasoline Engine
Company, Limited," filed their
article of incorporation yester
day with a capital stock of $200,
000. The officers of the new
corporation are as follows: Presi
dent, John A. Chopie; vice presi
dent, Edward Hynott; secretary
and sales manager, Sam G. Smith;
treasurer, II. M. Soennichsen. The
above, with the addition of Adolph
Geise, constitutes the board of
directors.
This factory opens up a great
possibility for the city of Platts
mouth and the entire county, as
with the co-operation of the
citizens of the county the project
can be made a winner and the
community will receive the bene
fit of having a manufacturing
concern of this kind in our city.
The city of Waterloo, Iowa, is an
example of what a concern of this
sort can do when it has the united
support of the people of a com
munity at its back. There the
gasoline engine works started on
a small scale, and as the business
grew and expanded the number of
men employed was increased and
ot her manufactories were at trail
ed to the city and today Waterloo
is one of the leading manufactur
ing points in that slate, and the
result has been solely brought
about by the support the citizens
gave to the first little gasoline
engine factory.
The engines that have been
manufactured by the Chopie com
pany have undoubtedly made
good, as is demonstrated by the
testimonials of those who have
used them. The laundry here is
one example of what these en
gines can do. The laundry has
a 7Va horse power engine which
they are using to pull machinery
that formerly required a 10-horse
engine to do the work, and at a
less cost than was formerly re
quired. The farmers who have
used these engines in their work
on the farms are more than satis
fied with the result of the work
performed. II. W. Baughman, liv
ing west of this city, possesses a
2 -horse power Chopie and re
cently he borrowed the twenty-four-inch
wood sawing outfit of
one of his neighbors and I he lit
tle engine sawed easily large logs
of two feet. This is certainly a
splendid demons! ral ion of what
the engines can do and will be
appreciated more by (hose who
are familiar with the amount of
work that it is necessary to do in
order to saw wood of this size.
This is a repetition of the stories
of those who have used these en
gines and it. speaks eloquent 'y of
the power f,f Chopie engines
on the faim and as power for
manufacturing purposes.
It is the intention of the new
company to place their stock in as
many hands as possible, as this
is a co-operative concern and the
more small stockholders that can
be secured will create a greater
interest, among the people and
bring them to a realization of the
fact that the project is for the
benefit of the whole community.
The stock is to be in shares of $10
each, and already a large num
ber of the farmers of the count v
have signified their intention of
assisting in the corporation by
the subscribing of stock, and it is
the policy of the company to dis
pose of the stock as the enlarging
business of the factory demands.
This factory is a proposition
that our citizens cannot afford to
pass up without serious thought;
it can be made I lie biggest thing
in the history of the city, but It
cannot be expected that it will be
possible to employ a large num
ber of men at. the start, ni the
company expects to proceed along
conservative' business lines and
expand as the business demands,
and this is the proper move nnd
gives the stockholders and
citizens in general a feeling that
the business will be carried on in
a safe business-like manner. We
should lend our encouragement
to the project, as we do not care
to see some other city step in nnd
take away what in lime will prove
a priceless boon to the city and
its business interests.
In the past the old eompanv
has been unable to advance as it
should, but with the new financial
assistance the corporation will be
able to start in nt once on the
realization of their projects, and
with the assistance nnd boosting

GEORGE E. HALL

Treasurer
of our citizens will be able to
build up a business that will make
Plattsmouth a manufacturing city
second to none in the state.
The company intends in the
future to sell the engines to the
dealers and they to sell them to
the retail trade. The sales man
ager, Mr. Sam G. Smith, is well
known throughout the county and
his ability as a salesman cannot
be questioned by anyone, and be
ing in charge of the sale of an
article of which there is no doubt
that it 'is the cheapest and best
on the market today, will make an
undoubted success. The shop in
terests will be looked after by Mr.
Chopie,, who has made a life work
of this kind of busines and has
no superior as a workman, which
makes a guarantee that the en
gines will be all that is claimed
for them.
Give this gasoline engine fac
tory your hearty encouragement
and endeavor to put it in a posi
tion where it will be a valuable
asset to the city. The engines
will be built from 2 to 20 horse
power and are today the greatest
labor ami gasoline-saving engine
on the market, and this fact, is ac
knowledged by all who have used
them.

"THE PRINCE OF T0-
r
NIGHT, OCTOBER 26
A Musical Comedy Commended by
the Amusement-Loving People
In All the Large Cities.
Something different from the
usual run of the musical comedy,
which contains froth and folly,
intermingled with some musical
jingles, will be seen when the
gorgeous musical spectacle, "The
Prince of Tonight," comes to the
Parmele theater on Saturday
night, October 26.
The froth is there and some
folly, yet there is something sub
stantial about the story, the
music and the characters, that
has elevated "The Prince of To
night" above the plane of the or
dinary musical offering. It has
been termed by many critics a
musical fantasy, with all the merit
of high-class opera. Certainly it
has proved the greatest surprise
in years. It is an alluring conceit,
full of pretty solos and chorus
numbers rendered by attractive
girls in fanciful costumes.
Adams, Hough and Howard,
who are also well known for their
clever work in a score of musical
successes, have been credited with
their best effort in the writing of
"The Prince of Tonight." The
story, consistent, and of original
trend, tells of a poor but re
sourceful college youth who has
been badly snubbed by an heiress
whose flirtations he mistakes for
real love. At the magical mom
ent of the blooming of a century
plant, he is transformed into a
prince, for the one night, of the
mythical land of Lunitania. He is
enabled to win the girl who snub
bed him, after all manner of ad
venture, in the midst of fairyland
scenes lavishly presented.
Among the many song hits are:
"Her Eyes Are Blue for Yale," "It
Is a Dear Old World AHcr All."
"The Best Thing a Waiter Does
Is Wait." "I Can't Be True So Ear
Away," "Tonight Will Xever Come
Again," and "I Don't Want to
Marry Your Eamily."
BOLD, BAD BURGLARS ENTER
THE METHODIST CHURCH
Tuesday night some parly or
tallies forced an entrance into
the Methodist church, the en
trance being effected through one
of the windows. The micreants
broke the locks off all the lockers
and desks in their effort to secure
some plunder, but their efforts
were futile, as I here. was nothing
of any value taken. The parties
evidently were new to the job, as
a church is not usually rolling in
wealth and they do not keep
valuables laying around loose.

Ill 0010 OF
THE BRIDE-TO-BE
Mrs. C. S. Johnson Entertains for
Her Niece, Miss Fern McBrlde,

One of the most pleasant social
events of the season in this city
was the "at home" given by Mrs.
Charles S. Johnson in honor of
her niece, Miss Fern McBride, of
South Omaha, whose engagement
to Hov.ard Holmes of Omaha haa
just been announced.
The Johnson home was beautu
fully decorated with autumn
leaves and their gorgeous color
ing made the rooms seem a wood
land scene. The afternoon was
spent at cards, interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music,
many of the guests being talented
musicians. At, an appropriate
hour Mrs. Johnson, assisted by
Mrs. W. A. Robertson, served a
most delicious two-course lunch
eon, which added greatly to the
pleasures of the afternoon. Near
the departing hour the guests
surprised not only the bride-to-ba
but the hostess as well by tender
ing Miss McBride a miscellaneous
shower, the young lady receiving
numerous handsome presents.
One of the pleasing features of
the afternoon was the contest, in
which each guest was to give
three answers to the question,
"How to Be Happy Though Mar
ried," Mrs. R. C. Rawls winning
the prize.
The invited guests were: Mis
ses Margaret Scot ten, Madaline

EXPERIENCE SOCIAL BY
THE UBIEHID SOCIETf
The experience social given by
the members of the Ladies' Aid
society yesterday afternoon was
one of the most delightful oc
casions of the season and certain
ly one of the most successful in a
financial way. Several weeks ago,
at their regular meeting, the
ladies decided that each would
earn a dollar and it was at this
time that each was to bring their
dollar and relate as to how they
raised the said amount. Mrs. W.
L. Austin was hostess and this
enjoyable afternoon's entertain,
ment was held in (lie church par
lors. There was a very large
number in at tendance, there being
about 75 ladies present, and they
realized over $70. Most of the
time was spent in listening to
Hie ways and means the ladies
had used in raising their dollar,
which was told in rhyme. Many
of the rhymes were verw humor
ous ami the experiences related
as to how they made their dollar
was any way and every way from
a speckled hen to a loaf of bread.
During the afternoon deliviou
refreshments were served, which
were likewise thoroughly enjoyed.
The ladies are very much pleased
over the success of this atl'air.
For Representative.
John J. Gustin is a candidate

their satisfaction. I will endeavor
to do my best, for the people I
represent. I therefore solicit the
voles of all who believe "in equal
and exact justice to all."
