WHITE People of the City Greatly Shocked When the Sad News Was Heralded Over Town. TOO IT TO PLAY BALL YESTERDAY Rain Yesterday momma at 4:20, at his home in this city, Walter J. White succumbed to the shock re ceived in the accident that hap pened to him last Thursday, when a large seel ion of Hie excavation on the Chicago avenue sewer caved in on him, and in spile of all the skill ami loving hands could do for him he continued to grow worse until the end finally came early Sunday Morning. Mr. White was also very badly bruised and shocked as a result of the ac cidenl, and being quite advanced in years was unable lo rally from the shock. In Hie death of Mr. White the cily of I'lallsinoulli has lost one of its most public-spirited men and one thai will he .sadly missed, as there was never a person whom Mr. While knew Hint, he did not have a kindly greeting for, and during his long residence here he occupied a place in the life of Hie community that will be hard in deed lo mi. Waller J. WhilM was burn in Kngland July id, lHii, and came to America in Ibe year 1855 with his parents, lion. ,, S. While and wife, going direct, to I' I all wilh a number of other English emi grants, but not llnding the condi tions there all thai they expected the family came back east and located at Plattsinouth in 1857, and has since resided in this cily. Mr. White in his oulhful days was engeg in the freighting busi ness and has followed this line of work since that time principal ly along the line of road and bridge contracts. Mr. White was Ml reel commissioner of Hie cily a number of times and represented his ward in I he cily council for several years, covering dilTerent terms, and in whatever position lie was called upon lo till he was equal lo the emergency and was always a loyal guardian of the welfare of the public, lie was a lifelong member of the Masonic order ami for the last few years had been one of Hie members of the hoard of control of Hie Ma sonic Home in llsis city. Mr. White was married in this cily October 21, 18C.fi, to Miss Anna Holts, who, with one daughter,! Miss Mable Frances While, are left (o mourn the passing of this worthy citizen and kind husband and father, as well as the follow ing brothers and sisters: Alfred W. While, Platlsmouth; Hon. Francis K. White, Omaha; Mrs. V. V. Leonard, Platlsmouth. During his lifetime Mr. While was a devote member of the Pro testant Episcopal church and served as the senior warden of the vested of SI. Luke's church here for many years, and I here never was a task loo difficult for him to undertake for the better ment of Hie church and its con dition and his aid and counsel will lie greatly missed ii (he church organizat ion. The funeral of Mr. While will he held tomorrow afternoon from St. Luke's parish church at 2:30 nod inlerinent made in Oak Hill Put "Flxins" to Base Ball Boys, and Circus People Put in a Strenuous Day. would like to have explained is i..w a governor, legislature or ommissioner can legalize a law which is in direct violation of t lie livine law, on which all law is -opposed to be based? (iod's command is, "Remember the Sab- balh dav. to keep it holy." This law has never been amended nor becomes void and a blessing is pronounced on those who follow Ibis. "If thou wilt turn away thy foot, from th(! Sabbath from doing iliv nli'iisiire on ho niav and call I!,!. XnM.aih n oeliht. the holv of U'nior on April the Lord, and shalt honor Him not doing thine own ways nor finding thine own pleasure," ect. Isa. 58-13-1-1. Why not pass a law making Saturday a holiday, I hen have ball games and o'her right .amusements for those who canned, attend through the week-? Nothing would be lost by that in Ibe end, and much would be gain ed from a moral stand or viewpoint. One Who Desires the Keeping of the Sabbath tup nni iniirnTiPiw LAW ADOPTED By THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE ELMER HALSTROM OPERATED UPON FOR APPENDICITIS This morning Elmer lllalstroui was operated upon at the Im manuel hospital in Omaha for ap pendicitis, from which lie has been suffering for s-onie time, but the case had not reached an acute stage and it, was thought best to operate now while he was in good shape lo sland it. E'mer has been employed in the bank at Murray and the attack has caused him considerable troube! and the loss of much time from his position and he decided that it would be best lo undergo the operation at once. His mother, Mrs. John Ilall slrom, was a passenger this morning for Omaha lo be present when the operation was per formed. The rainy weather yesterday put the "llxins" lo the prospects of the ball game thai was scheduled lo take place between the Dooslers anil tin; Urodcgaard Crowns of Omaha, and the fans were compelled lo fight the situa tion over silting under cover, as the game was postponed until a later dale. The had weather also made I he life of the employes of the circus anything but pleasant, as tney were compelled ! unload their train in the mud and lake their wagons inn on Lincoln avenue through Hie deep mud, and it was all eight horses could do to pull the wagons through, and several of them were mired on I he way lo I he grounds ami H was neces sary to call on the elephants lo assist, in til' woi'K oi gelling I hem out and I hey w ere generally successful. In spi'0 of I he ron- liliou of the roads quite a large portion of tin1 ponulalion of the ly walked out to the grounds yesterday and inspected the circus lenls, which completely cover the O'Ncil pasture. II LITTLE DAUGHTER AT THE E OF MRS. JOS.

FORWARD STEP FOR A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER This morning a little daughter ill i I T . . arrived at ine iioine oi mm. Jos eph llavir, in the west part of the cilv. The pat belie part is that the father was fatally injured on Wednesday evening and was buried Saturday afternoon, and Hie little one will never have an opportunity of seeing her father. The mother and little daughter are getting along nicely. That the little girl will live lo be a joy and comfort lo her mother in her hour of affliction is the wish of evervone in the community. LOSSES FROM THEFT ON THE BURLINGTON LINES NOT SO GREAT OPPOSED 0 SUNDAY BASE BALL PLAYING IS THERE ANOTHER "JACK THE HUGGER" IN TOWN? There was considerable excite ment created in the northwest portion of the cily last evening by a mysterious stranger who was roaming through that section of the cily. The man nccosed sev eral ladies who were on their way home and followed them to their residences and was later seen around the different homes there, The Missouri Pacific will place a long stretch of track north of Atchison with ninety-pound rails. Railroad freight men expect the new Webb law prohibiting liquor shipments to eaiMe. much trouble and expense. A marked improvement in train service on the Hock Island is re ported since lh recent official diakeup. Trains pre now running regularly on time. Losses by theft from shipments in transit on joirimgiou nues west have been reduced material ly during I he past few months by the prosecution of offenders. The Hurlinglon has a steam shovel at work widening the big cut between Milford and Pleasant dale. Dirt taken out is being used lo widen the fills lo double track width. As a forecast of the pure adver tising law that has just been pass ed by the legislature of Nebraska the Valparaiso Visitor comes out with the following statement to its readers: "We positively guarantee that every advertiser in this issue is reliable and deal honestly with every subscriber. Our aim is to accept advertisements only from hrms which we believe to be re liable and from this time on we shall pledge our best efforts lo keep out of the columns of this paper. advertisements from any person or persons who refuse to do a square and honorable busi ness with those who deal with them. When dealing with those who advertise in the Visitor be sure to mention the fact that you read Iheir advertisement and that you have the sanction of this paper in asking for a square deal in any and all purchases. Let us know if you have been defrauded in any manner and the complaint will have attention and investiga tion. We have a right to expect our readers to receive lair treat ment from the local business men and we guarantee you will get it, but if you get slung when buying of mail order concerns of the Shears &, Sawbuck stripe with their cheap sweat, shop merchan dise then we have no defense lo offer in your behalf." That is taking a position not uncommon with some of the best of Hie big magazines of national circulation, and even some of the big dailies in the cities, but de cidedly uncommon for the news papers in the smaller country towns. There are many big city dailies that would not care to pub lish a statement like that, and if they did would have a good many complaints lo investigate. All that lends lo give more commence in the advertisements, and of course works to tne inuiuai an vantage of the advertiser and the newspaper. Omaha Trade Ex- liibil. Cass County Items.

The Journal some time, ago re ceived a communication from Union in regard to the question of Sunday ball playing, and while we have no interest in the mailer and the statements are merely the expression of one person and nol thai of the paper. The letter is as follows: Fdilor Platlsmouth Journal: From time to time I have noticed in your paper articles favoring base ball on the Sab bath, so I hope you will grant space for the other side of the question. In your paper of tn 17th we read, "The county com. inissioners have passed a resolu tion permitting the playing of base ball on Sunday in the vil luges of the county, as the law just passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Morehead makes Ibis legal." You pronounce this "a good move, as it permits the lovers of a good, clean game to attend on Sunday without leav ing lo violate the law," acknowl edging aforesaid lovers are nol law-abiding citizens, but will violate both Clod's and man's law to attend a Sabbath ball game. He- fore Governor Morehead was elected he was placed before the people as a model, one who would carry out the laws for the besl good of (he peopl , but if this is a fair sample I am sure no Chris tian or even right-thinking person will vote for him again for a sec ond term. Had Jonies Dahlman been elected we could have hoped for nothing better. One thing I "Col. Todhunter of Missouri." Wednesday the Journal will be Kin the publication of "Col. Tod- Iml did nol, attempt lo do anything hunter of Missouri," by Ripley D. bin the ladies residing saunders, aim ine story is a mosi romantic one of love and politics and is typical Anieiican in every way, appealing to the readers as few stories of late years have. The story has had an enormous sale and it is a great opportunity thai the Journal nailers have of gelling this great American novel. serious, in that section wen! greatly alarmed in the thought that he was another "Jack the Hugger," and doors and windows were bar red lo prevent his breaking in any of I he homes, and the police were nolilleil. On reaching the neigh borhood they found a man walk ing along the street, but, he failed to answer the description of the Fred Engelkenieier of Ml. Pleas- one who had stopped the women ant precinct drove in this morn nn.l lie was released. The best ing to lake in the sights at the method for the women lo employ circus would be a little Knglish suf fragette handling if the man if he shows up around their residences again, and he would probably go on his way and not bother them in the future. Dance a Success. Despite the heavy rain Satur day afternoon and the threatenin weather in the evening, the Car- nation ball given by the Cosmo polilan club was attended by a crowd that filled Coates' hall lo the limit and one of the best dances of the season was enjoyed bv the jolly crowd. There were a large number present from Ne braska City and Omaha, but the bad condition of the roads kept many of the young people from the, country from attending. The next dance given by this club will lie on Saturday, May 24, and will be in the nature of a "Poverty ball," and those al lending are ex peeled to leave their glad rags at home. Robert Eaton of Union came up this morning to attend the circus: and take in the sights. Funeral of Andrew Kern. The funeral of the late Andrew- Kern was held Saturday afternoon from the county farm, west of the cily, and the service at the farm was conducted by Rev. J. H. Sieger of St. Paul's church and (he cas kel conveyed to Eight Mile (Srove cemetery,' where' the interment was made beside thai of the wife of the deceased, who passed away many years ago. As Miss Frank Starr, trimmer at Fanger's Department store ex pects to leave soon for her home at Marvville, Mo., she wishes to thank the people of Plallsniouth and surrounding community for their liberal patronage and courtesy shown her while here.
