CASS COUNTY AWAY
AHEAD OF OTOE IN
PUDLIC IMPROVEMENTS
C. E. Ileebner was interviewed
in Nebraska City, one day last
week and the Press, in comment
ing on what Mr. Ileebner said,
gives Cass county credit with be
ing ahead of Otoe in several re
spects. This county has a poor
farm of 120 acres that has been
self-supporting for a number of
years, under the eilicient man
agement of Mr. Tarns, while Otoe
county with a full quarter sec
tion of line land does not come
anywhere near making both end-
meet. This county has solved
the cement culvert proposition
by hiring the work done and fur
nishing' their own material. An
other thing that is not generally
Known is mat mere is not a
telephone in the court house at
rial isnio ui n, the commissioners
believing stamps in the majority
of instances, are just as effective
as a phone bill. Xehawkn News

No. i bringing with him a coun
tryman of President Heurta, who
was discovered at Lousiville
carrying a large-sized knife with
which he was threatening to cut
several large sections out of his
friends, it is claimed, and the
justice of the peace concluded it
would be a good idea to send him
here to await in jail the judgment
of the higher court as to his car
rying the weapon. The law is
luite severe in its punishment of
those carrying weapons that
might do great bodily injury, and
Hie Mexican may ce. a stiff sen-

FINE TREAT FOR THE
INMATES OF THE CASS
county poor house GASES DISPOSED OF
IN DISTRICT COURT
lesieruay anernoon the resi
dents at the county farm, west of
this city, were given a rare treat
and one that will long be mos
pleasantly remembered by the
old people who make their home
there as being an occasion of
great enjoyment, in the visit of
the junior choir of the Methodis
church, consisting of Misses
Leona Dwyer, Florence Buttery,
Zclma Tuey, Hazel Tuey, Oladys
Hall, Ina Dalton, Kate Sattler,
Mina Kaffenberger and Jessie
Whelan. The young ladies
gave a concert that was certain
Iy a pleasure to hear and was
deeply appreciated by the old
people, as well as Superintendent
Cf. H. Tains and wife. In addition
to the visit of the choir the ladies
of the Woman's Bible Class of
the church sent to each resident
at the farm a most acceptable
Christmas present, which served
to make the day's pleasure com
plete for these old folks, who are
so feeble and aged as to make it
impossible for them to secure
much of the pleasures of the
world, and the action of the choir
and ladies of the Methodist
church in sending out these gifts,
as well as giving the concert, is
one that could well be followed
by other organizations of the dif
ferent churches. The visit of the
choir assisted greatly in helping
out the plans of Superintendent
Tamps for a happy Christinas for
the old folks and he expresses
the most heartfelt thanks for the
concert, as well as the Rifts be
stowed upon the residents at the
farm.

children of this most estimable

ental roof to celebrate the Christ
mas day in dnjbyinpr a feast pre
pared for them by the old folks,

immense is putting it mildly, as
here was a feast set out that was
tit for a king, and the family
spent one of its happiest days in
getting- together and wishing each
other many more such happy oc
casions. Those who were in at
