CITY COUNCIL HAS - :,
A LIVELY .SESSION
(Continued' Prom First Page.)
Councilman Lusninaky asked
permission of the mayor for a few
remarks on the Stucklin water
extension .matter, and he stated
he did. not think it fair, that -Mr.
' Stucklin sWaM he comVU''d to
pav for the entire laying. of the
pfpes' from the water mains into
hi property, when the franchise
of the water company -provided
that they' would lay one hundred
and fiftv- feet extensions for new
water users, and the councilman
believed the city should compel
the ."company" to install this ex
tension in keeping with the pro
visions of their franchise with
out expense to Mr. Stucklin. lie
also stated he understood there
were several others there who de
sired to use water if the- company
would do the right thins in mak
ing the extension.
Councilman Johnson stated
thathe had been informed that
the. man desired to put in a pri
vate line and did not ; want any
one else to he connected up on the
same pipe line and would put it in
himself to secure this ' privilege.
He did not believe the council
needed to take the matter up as
he did not believe the water, com-;
nnnv h.ni violated anv provisions
of theiV franchise, and that only
the attitude of the party desiring
the service had prevented the dine
Iwing laid without so much' ex
pense, but as he desired a private
line he would have to foot the bill
himself as it was without th-?
power of the council to take the
matter up. Councilman Lushins
ky stated that some time ago. ho
bad talked with both S.'ucklin and
Maurer and others who 'were
thinking of putting in water, and
they were willing to go rhead at
this time... . ...
Councilman Richey, of the
Third ward, asked if the city had
the right or was expected to take
the private disagreements and
troubles of. private parties and
make it an issue with the water
company.
Mayor Sattler stated he was in
favor of taking up any matter
where the water company did not
live up to its franchise, but
thought that the parties seeking
redress should petition the city
council before any action " was
taken in the matter.
City Attorney Tidd then arose to
try and straighten the matter out
by stating that Stucklin had been
ip to see him and had said that
the water company had agreed to

put, in an, extension of three huni
ded feet-for him and Mauer, but
later those, parties had gotten in;
to a disagreement and Mauer' Had
backed out 'of "the deal and Stucki
lin hart said he would go ahead
and put in tho line alone.
Councilman Vroman stated he
had "gotten lit touch', with Super
intendent Sinclair, of the water
company, and they had promised
to make the .extension but they
had failed, to do so,' and later
Mauer had back'rU oijt i of :y the
proposition over some disagree
ment.and as Mr. Stucklin had to
have the water he had taken;Steps
to. have .it put in alone as it .was
absolutely' necessary' that he Have
this extension made to his prop
erly. ; ; ' ; '
Councilman Shea was heartily
in . favor of making ' the water
company live up to the provisions
of their franchise, and to protect
the citizens where it was needed.
The whole matter was finally
settled by Lushinsky, who intro
ducer! a! resolution that the city
clerk notify Mr. Stucklin to pre
pare a petition to present to the
city council in order that that
body might take some action in
the matter. This was passed by a
unanimous vole. The scene of
this controversy is in the south
part of the city where the water
mains have just been extended.
Councilman Buttery,' of the po-
that the night police had not been
keeping 'track of the defective
lights in the city, and that it made
it very difficult to check up the
bill of the light company and to
secure a reduction for the, lights
not burning. He would like to
have the matter looked after at
once.
Councilman Butery, of the po
lice committee, said he believed
the night police had all he could
attend to at night on Main street,
and thought" that some other
means should be provided for the
checking oT the lights.
The council finally passed a res
olution that 'the. flight QonlnVIttee
wait upon the Nebraska Lighting
company, and try and secure bet
ter service for the city and the
need of such waiting was appar
ent, for at times during1 the
council meeting the lights would
almost die out and that body
needed no stronger demonstration
of the need of better service.
The request of Councilman
Buttery for some tiling on Locust
street brought forth a vigoruos
protest from Councilman Hall
strom, who believed that the sec
ond ward had in the past receiv
ed more than its just share of the
street improvements, and in the
condition of the road fund did not
favor it. The council : however
passed a resolution that the work

be done-as soon as possible, as it
is badly needed.
i.The .request - ;of ; Councilman
Richey for. a permanent crossing
on Seventh street in the. rear of
the , -Parmele - livery barn, .was
granted.. .: . w t .. ;
. Councilman- Johnson requested
that William Holly be notified 1o
fix the sidewalk on the east side
of: his property on Fourth" street
and also that the street cominis
sioner fix Fourth street between
Main and Pearl, where it is in
very bad shape1. Lushinsky asked
that 'Richey street be graded and
that manholes be opened up in
order that the street -could be
used.1 'Buttery slated be had heard
much complaint about the odor
from the' manholes and thought
the matter should be looked after.
The automobile ordinance was
laid over until the next meeting,
in order that" the members might
look it over more thoroughly.;
The bringing up of the occu
pation lax ordinance brought on a
very extended nenaie anu discus
sion among . the members, and
there' was 'a wide diversion of
opinion among me rjiuereni
a . 1 ? - 1
members over what the ordinance
should be, and despite ' the fact
that the judiciary committee or
the council had spent several
months in 'preparing; theiordm-
ance presented, it was decided, to
lay it over and have a new- one
drafted- by ;a commit! ofrflve to
try; "and get. a 'document that
would suit the-majority -of the
members.
Councilman' Lushinsky stated
he did not favor the ordinance, as
he. did not think it was fair to the
merchants in many respects, and
that in the past more revenue
than necessary was raised and "it
was used in other funds besides
that for sweeping and cleaning
the streets, and he thought that
was unnecessary.
Councilman Streight 1 stated
that he was opposed to an occu
pation tax, but had drafted the
measure at as low a figure as pos
sible to raise the necessary rev
enue to keep the streets sprinkled
and swept and to afford police
protection to the business section
of the city. Themayor apointed
as a committee to draft the new
measure for. the consideration of
the councilmen Messrs. Lushins
ky, Hallstrom, Buttery, Johnson
and. Shea. -. -
Councilman Bajeck asked what
had been done in regard to fixing
up Mercer avenue as the residents
of that section were quite annoy
ed over the failure to have it
placed in condition for winter. On
motion of Buttery, the city, sur
veyor was instructed to go out
there. at once and make the sur
vey,. ,
1 At the close of the council
meeting Mayor John P. Sattler ex
tended to the members a cordial
invitation in behalf of the Ger
man Day committee to attend the
celebration and to participate in
the big parade next Saturday
afternoon
. Councilman Buttery in a few
well chosen remarks, moved that
that the council attend in a body
and take part in the parade, lie
also moved that the freedom of
the city be pxtended to these lib
erty loving and loyal citizens, the
Germans, which was passed with"
out a dissenting vote. - ; - ;
JAIL BREAKERS ARE
STILL AT LARGE
There has been no trace
found as yet of the prisdners
who escaped from the jail here
Tuesday . night, although the
authorities of the neighboring
towns were notified of . the es
cape, and every effort made - to
head them off, but so far it has
proven without avail. It is
thought likely that the men
caught onto some freight train
passing through the city about
the time of the delivery and made
good their escape. It is most
fortunate . for the eomiriunity
that there were no desperate
criminals confined in the jail at
the time, or they would now be
at-liberty preying on the law
abiding citizens. The escape
of these prisoners makes the
building of the new jail a matter
of the utmost importance -to the
law abiding-citizens of the coun
ts and the" matter of erecting the
building should be agitated, and
put in action at once in order
that the citizens of the -county
can feel safe - from having , its
prisoners escape from the jail
whenever they may so desire. .. .

PROSPERITY OF
THE GiTY SCHOOLS
Everything . Working Harmoni
ously and All Departments
-... Admirably , Conducted.
. The Plattsmouth city .scnools
are enjoying one of the most
successful terms in the history
of the school as. .is shown by the
report of Superintendent V C
Brooks made lo the board of edi
cation at their. last meeting. The
new teachers have become ae
customed to the work of hand
ling the pupils, and the old force
or teachers who have served so
efficiently during, the past years
Superintendent Broks ha taken
the .school -m hand in splendii
shape ahdf his able .management
is mainlining the high standan
of the schools has been a matter
of much' gratification to the pa
trons rtf the schools. The school
board tias also deemed to increase
the number of play ground appar
atus by having a number of tee
ter boards installer! on the
grounds at the central building.
The attendance at. the - schools
has -.proven most satisfactory
during the first, month of school
there being 98 i enrolled while
the number belonging in this city
reaches 953. The different
teachers of the city with their
number of pupils attending is as
follows:

There are two departments
badly needed in the city schools
here and these are manual train
ing and domestic science as these
are two departments of modern
educational institutions that give
the pupils most valuable train
ing, and if there is any possible
way by which they could be add
ed to the course of studies at the
High school the city should see
that they are installed because
they are badly needed to keep the
school up to the high standard set
by the other High schools of the
state. The outlay for the install
ing of these two departments
would amount to considerable,
but the benefits received would
more than compensate for the
money spent in this direction
The matter should be agitated
and even if it is necessary to erect
another building on the High
school campus to house these two
departments.it should be done,
and in a short time the patrons
of the school could easily see the
improvement made in the school
and the advancement of the
scholars along useful; and valu
able lines that would fit them for
their future lives. . . .
DISCUSSION OF THE
ROCK PILE . FOR TRAMPS
: . AND OTHER VAGRANTS
October 14, 1913.
Editor of Journal:
I was interested in your article
pn what to do with tramps and
you say the city has no rock pile.
When the river road is completed
the citcan get all the stone they
want along the side of the road
that is just the right size and the
city should be able to get it haul
ed for about one dollar a yard,
which would-be' ac good big load,
and if the city would get about
two Toads hauled up "and make a
nice. .pile . near, police headquar
ters" and show him the ' pile and
say the city needs it broke up and
if you cpjne up here again on sim
ilar charges,' I will have, work: for
you. ' ' r t ' (' J .-' f .

C. N. BEVERIGE AND FAMILY
MOVE TO THIS CITY
C. N. Beverage who recently
purchased the beautiful resi
dence property of James Sage on
Chicago avenue, with his family
has moved into their new home,
and are now full Hedged residents
of the city. The advent of Mi
Beverage and his family to this
city will be the source of much
pleasure to the residents of the
town as thev are among the best
people in the county, and will
contribute greatly to the up
building of the city. That the
Beverage family do not propose
to suffer for good things to eat
during the winter months, is evi
denced by the fact, that they
brought with them on their mov
ing to town, two wagon loads of
canned fruit and other dainties,
such as can only be procured on
a Cass county, farm, and these
will be found most acceptable
during the long winter months
This amount of canned goods i:
something uncsual, and speaks
well for the foresightedness of
this worthy citizen and his wife.
We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Bev
erage a hearty welcome to this
city, and congratulate them that
they have deciderl to locate in
the best town in Nebraska.

JUDGE ARCHER HAS
A VERY BUSY DAY
Yesterday the court of Judge M.
Archer was quite busy as he had
several parties brought before
him in order to have justice met
er out to them. Frank Ray was
the lirst caller at the temple of
justice and he acknowledged the
charge that he had been found in
an intoxicated condition, and the
judge after hearing the case, de
cided that the best thing for the
city as well as the prisoner, was
to have him leave the city, and
on his promise to in the future
conduct himself in an orderly
manner he was given a half hour
to seek other quarters on the
other side of the river, and he
lost no time in making his get
away. The judge also had a number
of young men before him charg
ed with having gotten into a liaht
Sunday evening, and the com
plainant, K. J. Sfell, alleged that
Henry I.amphere and James
Jones had gotten into an alterca
tion with him the result of which
was that Stell got the worst. of
it, and , sought to have the law
give him redress in the matter.
The judge after- hearing the evi
dence in the case decided to give
the parties a fine and also a short
lecture on the folly of getting
into such disagreements.
