From Tuesday's Dally. There was a fair sized audience present last evening at the I'ar mele theater to witness the pre sentation of the 'famous comedy, "The Oiii in the Taxi," and all were well pleased with this offer ing, which is shown for laughing purposes only, and from start to finish there was not a moment when there was not something doing in the laugh-provoking line, and the clever company pre senting the play were well cast in the different roles they appear ed in. The one bright star in the company is undoubtedly Geor Falkner, who appears as Bertie and his work was certainly al that could be asked for, and as a comedian he has few equals and kept everyone in a hearty laugh from the start until the final cur tain. Miss Alleen Morrison as .Mignon, the girl in the taxi, was very clever and -'had' a splendi stage presence, ami with her beautiful and attractive gowns made a very handsome appear ance and was in the center of the fun and frolic, which served to make the plot of the play. The scene of the play was in gay New York and the girls am: the gentlemen in the cast were among the gavest of the ''while lighters" in' the cafes of the me tropolis of the western world, am around the varied adventures is la til the pleasing French farce comedy. The play was a verv pleasing feature of the list of ex cellent attractions that Manager Shlaes has secured for this sea son and the patrons of the Par- mele were certainly well pleased with (he laughing farce comedy Fish Commissioner Here. From Tuesday'! Daily. The Journal office this morn ing received a very pleasant call from W. J. O'Brien, the efficient state fish commissioner of South Bend, who has his fish car here for repairs at the Burlington shops, and the visit, while brief, was one that was thoroughly en joyed, as Mr. O'Brien is a most genial and pleasant gentleman to meet. He was accompanied by Mr. Fox of Louisville, and with the two gentlemen a very enjoy able time was had. NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT ROADS ITS MANAGEMENT BIG PRICE FOR FARM OF EIGHTY ACRES OF CASS COUNTY SOIL PETITION FOR OIVORCE IN THE DISTRICT COURT From TuAsdav's Dally. Petition for a hcree of divorce was filed y-sterdav in the ollice of the listriet. clerk by Mrs. Mary Parsons auainst William H. Par sons.

Dally.; The board of county commis sioners convened today. in reg ular session at the court house to take up the mailers that demand ed their' attention and to allow the different " claims' that were made on the county ' for ?lhe month of January. -' The Journal does job work. from Wednesday's Dally. The price of land in Cass county has risen in the last six teen years to price-'that in the years gone by would seem almost incredable, and still the prices climb up and up as the demand increases for the great fertile prairies of this section of the state. An illustration of the rapid increase is shown by the sale of a tract of eighty aeres of land near Murdock a few days ago bv Mrs. Margaret Boreineier to Herman Kupke, for which he gave the sum of 15,000 for the land w hich has never been touch ed by the stroke of.the plow and is in practically the same hape as when purchased by Mrs. Bornemeier in 1890 for the sum of .3,500, and it seems almost wonderful at the change that these few years has made in the price of this land. The section of the county where this land is located is one where the highest prices are commanded for the farm land and the great crops that have been raised on them clearly shows the wonderful value of them as farming lands. Those who are picturing the in creasing values of farm lands in different parts of the. country will have to go some to beat this record-breaking Cass county ad vance. The Only Way to Keep the Roads in First-Class Shape Is to Use the Drag. There is at least one believer in the doctrine of good roads in this section of the county, to judge from the reports that are coming in from south of this city, and Walter Sans, who re- rrom Wednesdays Dally. The Plat Nn. outh steam laun dry, which has be-n und-r h ownership of iUkuh l'.ari !av and A. J. Trilety for the pa-t year, has just b n ',l to Mr. i:. G.

Mr. Harris will trie to maintain the laundry at the hi-fi andard that it has a kept by his predecessors, and b in- an expert laundry man will be ri-fil on the job in the management of the place.

Last evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. L. Shafer, in the west part of the city, Mrs Louisa J. Finch passed away at the advanced age of 90 years, succumbing to her burden of years, which is far greater than is usually alloted to the average human beings. Mrs. Finch had made her home with her daugh ter for a number of years and lad been quite feeble for some years. ' Mrs. 1-inch had lived in this city for the. past three years, coming here with her daughter from (llenwood, Iowa, where she resided for years. She was the mother of E. F. Finch of this city and It. G. Bailey of near Murraj-, and Mrs. Shafer, with whom she lad made her home. There will be a short funeral service held at the late home tomorrow morning and the body will: be taken -to Glenwood, Iowa, for interment in the family lot in the cemetery in that city. Don't fail to;, attend J. T. Lyell's big farm sale at Eagle, Neb., February 7th. of that day he hastened out and hitched up the team to the old rieliable road drag and started for Plattsmouth, and returned the same way, and as a result put the roads in very good shape for travel and he was able to come in that evening in his car to attend the show and re turn home the same evening over the road, whose ruts and ridges had been smoothed down by the faithful drag . This is certainly a most commendable action on the part of Mr. Sans and his ex ample will stand as a glittering mark to his neighbors and others residing along the main roads in Cass county, as to how to secure good roads by a little effort, and displays the proper public spirit. which if followed by others would soon place the roads in good shape. There are several places in the county where the farmers have drapged the roads in the vicinity of their homes and there the dif ference is readily noticed by any one traveling over these road from the ones where the persons residing along the road refuse to get busy on the repair and maintance of the roadways. Here is hoping that others throughout the county will take hold of the good roads move ment as enthusiastically as Mr. Sans and carry out their part by dragging the roads in the vicinity of their homes at least, and thereby add their mite to the movement that is sweeping through the country. make home. this city his permanent SOME ONE TRIES TO SWIPE ONE OF UNCLE TOM'S FAT CALVES The J':.itt.;.i....:h Gr-:.-r. e..!i.-e i . i. a:; a - - . r: ' ' and tf.e ,j....r- ..f :f. i i . i -1 : .' pen .r; r.et M r-! v i:,- to rei.e the 1,- iTs " hme e:;r..l!-d th. f - C-ures ,.f ,.. . .!, le-.

Thomas Wiles, wno re-ides on West Locust street, report that a few nights ao someone came near making away with one of his :;c- -arlin heifer which was in the pasture a few blocks west tf his residence, and which he alue.s very highly. He went out to the pasture on Mori- day evening to feed the stock and noticed that the cows, as we!j as the calf, were in good shape and all w-re on hand to be fed. but when he made a visit to the pas ture on the next morning he was greatly surpri-ed to find around the neck of the calf a small rope, apparently a part f a clothe line, which was tie. J jri a !ip noose knot and drawn p;ite tishtly around the neck of the animal, apparently with the in tention of either rhokintr it t death or the party doing the deed had intended to lead the anima! away from the pasture and had been fri-rhtened away before they had accomplished their ptirpo-c lne animal on winch the rope was found was a particulraly line fat one and Mr. Wiles think that it was the work of someone win inought lo secure some nice fresh beef without the formality of purchasing it. but the identify of the party doing the deed is shrouded in msiery and Mr. Wiles is very deirou of finding out just wfio hi their e e on his animals. that tie may protect himself from them in the future, but he feels very well pleased that they were not able to carry out their intention of making away with the animal and he will look after them very r!os.-jy in the future that no one i able to get away with the cows or calve. tin lme arid hi j. term in the Hoi'.-n.
