MPORTANT AT
TERS DISCUSSED
Blf CITY COUNCIL
Much Discussion of Different
Matters Serve to Make the
Meeting Exciting.
From Tuesflays Daily.
Last evening the Plattsmouth
city council assembled at the city
hall for their regular semi
monthly session, and while it did
not occupy a great deal of time
there was considerable jarring
between the different members of
tli is august body of legislators.
All of the members were present
when the mayor called the meet
ing to order, and they at once
launched into the discussion of
the problem that confronted
them.
A petition from the residents
of Pearl street asking that a
light be placed at the corner of
Pearl and Kleventh streets, was
road, and on the motion of Hall
strom to refer it to the lighting
committee there was war, as
Councilman. Buttery of the Sec
ond ward arose and staled that at
the previous session of the coun
cil a petition from the residents
of his ward asking for a light at
Fifteenth and Oak streets had
been laid on the table and he did
not see the justice in tabling one
of these and referring the other
to a committee for action, and he
desired to secure ju.-t treatment
for his ward. The matter was,
however, settled satisfactorily to
all by having1 both petitions re
ferred to the light committee for
future action!
A communication was also
read from some thirty-two free
holder? residing on Pearl street,
which stated that the buildings
along that street from Sixth to
Seventh were without the proper
fire protection and they asked
that a hydrant be located at ttie
corner of Kighth and Pearl street
where it could be used in case of
lire breaking out in the business
district on Pearl street. This
matter was referred to the fire
and water "committee for action.
Another matter that has in the
past been before the council sev
eral times was again thrust into
the limelight when a com
munication was read signed by
the property owners along South
Tenth street,-' south of Gold, in
which they asked that the grade
be located properly and the curb
line fixed in order that perma
netn walks could be placed there
by the property owners this
sprint. The petition was signed
by all the residents along the
west side of Tenth street where
the walk is desired. Councilman
Hallstroni stated that the matter
had been up before and it had
been surveyed twice since he was
in ttie council and not been found
satisfactory to the persons who
wanted to put down the walk, and
he thought that the petition
should be granted and the work
done as soon as the weather
would permit. He said he did
not really believe the surveying
was all that it should be, as it
did not appear to be on a straight
line to him. Councilman Buttery
arose about this time and slated
that there was too much of this
business of putting in walks re
gardless of the grade or lot line
and that they should be kept uni
form in width and distance from
the street. He thought that be
fore the work was done that the
property owners should agree as
to the grade and curb line to be
established in order -that a uni
form walk could be laid along
the street. He said that in his
ward there had been instances of
the property owners having side
walks at different distances from
the lot line and it made it very
disagreeable. Mr. Richey stated
that he had been called up to
Tenth street several times and
noticed the survey, that was very
crooketL. anHie. favored having it
changed-ti conform to the wishes
of tlie- property owners .along: the
street. . - -

THAT FINE OLD BIRD,
THE STORK. OONE 000D
WORK YESTERDAY
From Tuesday's Pally.
Yesterday was a very profitable
day for his majesty, the stork, as
he made visits to two of the
homes in the city to add to tin'
population of our lively little
city, and his appearance has
been the cause of much joy
among the two households favor
ed with his call. At the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hunnicek
on AVintersteen Hill yesterday
there arrived a line little daugh
ter of the regulation size and
weight and the little one was the
object of much attention from
t lie happy parents, and the
friends of the family are extend
ing their heartiest congratula
tions to the parents and the little
lady.
Joseph Rochek and wife were
the second couple to be visited by
the kingly bird and to them he
presented a line new son and
heir, who loudly announced his
intention of making1 his, home be
neath the parental roof for the
next twenty years. The son and
heir is not only an object of ad
miration from the happy fattier
and mother, but also from the.
two little sisters who will nowi
have a little brother to share
their joys and sorrows.
WARGA 8 SCKULDICE
CONTRACT FOR FURNACE
AT ST. LUKE'S RECTORY
I'rom Tuesday's Daily.
The enterprising" firm of
Warga & Schuldice last evening
were awarded the contract for
placing- one of their famous
Lennox Torrid Zone hot air fur
naces in the rectory of St. Luke's
parish in this city and will start
in the work of installing the fur
nace as soon as the vestry of the
church complete their plans for
the improvement of the rectory,
which in addition to the placing
of the furnace in the building
will also be enlarged by having
the second story made larger by
the raising of the roof of the
building and the enlarging of the
rooms on this floor. The new
furnace will make a most pleas
ing addition to the comfort of the
rectory and make a very pleasing
home for the minister who will
Jill the position of rector at the
church, and Messrs. Warga &
Schuldice will see ttiat it is in
stalled in a way that, will be per
fectly satisfactory to the mem
bers' of the church. There has
been quite a number of these
furnaces placed in the different
homes of the city during the past
year and the agents here feel well
pleased over the results shown by
them.
Gives a Very Fine Show.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The moving picture rep
resentation of the famous War
ner feature, "The Trail of the
Law," last evening' at the Grand
theater was one of the most
thrilling western dramas ever
shown in this city and one that
should have bean witnessed by a
large audience, as both in the
photography and acting- the pic
ture ..was all that could be asked
for. The manager has a number
of these fine features booked for
the future. -

TENNIS SHARKS
HERE GETTING
WARMED UP
Officers and Committees Selected
to Organize a Big Local
Association.
From Tuesday's Daily.
A big bunch of local tennis
men gathered in County Attorney
Taylor's office last night and
projected plans for a permanent
tennis club. Cieorge Falter was
elected president of the associa
tion for the ensuing; year, and
Ilea Larson was chosen for sec-
rotary.
The following
corn-
mittoes were appointed:
On Grounds Ed Fricke, E. A.
Wurl, George Falter.
On Constitution and By-Laws
C. H. Taylor, F. M. Druliner,
John Falter.
On Membership H. II. Sin
clair, F. M. Druliner, E. A. Wurl,
Harris Cook, Ralph Larson.
The committee on grounds
was instructed to make an effort
to secure sufficient ground to
build three courts together. This
would provide for a club of fifty
members, and from the en
thusiasm manifested in the
meeting last night, such a club
seems assured. Efforts will be
made to provide a dressing room
and shower bath at the courts,
also a ground-keeper will be se
cured so that, the courts will al
ways be ready.
The writer is only a newcomer
to Plattsmouth, but has been in
terested in tennis for a number
of years in different places, and
the prosper.? for his splendid
pastime here are the best we
have ever seen. Tennis is fast
becoming1 a popular game, and
while it has fared badlv at the
hands of spectators largely be
cause of lack of knowledge of the
game, it has no rival when if
comes to the interest it develops
in the player.
Anyone wishing to become a
member of the club may see one
of the membership comittoe or
attend the adjourned meeting,
which will be held at Attorney
Taylor's office next Monday even
ing at 7:30, when the organiza
tion of the association will be
completed.

from Wednesday's Daily.
Last Saturday evening a crowd
of merry people gathered at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Engle

JOHN BAUER ML
CONTINUE TO SELL THE
01EMD MjMOSIlE
From Tuesday's Daily.
There have been a great many
in the city who hae gained the
impression that John Bauer, who
for a number of years has been
the agent for the Overland auto
mobiles, was to retire from the
business, as the Ford agents,
Messrs. Fuller & Dovey have
rented floor space in his garage
for seven of their machines, and
through this many have gotten
the idea that lie intended to re
tire from the sale of his ma
chines, but such is not the case,
as he will continue to do business
at the old stand. Mr. Bauer also
has secured the room formerly
used as a dining" room in the
Woodman building" and this is
being fixed up as a tool and work
room, the partitions connecting
it with the Hauer establishment
being torn out and rearranged
with a view of handling the work
easier. The corner room in the
Woodman building, - which i
used at. present by Mr. Bauer as
a work room, will be used ex
clusively for the display of his
plumbing" and automobile sup
plies, and be a place easy of ac
cess, where all that is desired
can be found. The sample auto
mobiles will be placed on the
main floor of the garage building
where they may be inspected.

which has stood on the corner of
Washington avenue and Eighth
street for several years, to the
lots owned by J. F. Clugy on
North Ninth street, where it will
be remodeled and placed in con
dition for living in. The removal
of this house also leaves a fine
site for a number of cottages and
it is understood that the site will
not long remain vacant, as local
parties' are contemplating the
putting up of a number of houses
for 'rental purposes.

TO VOTE Oil
BONDS AT THE
CIHELECTIOII
Decided to Submit Question of
Erecting New School Building
to the Voters of the City.
The board of education has for
some months been facing a con
dition of inadequacy of present
accommodations at the Central
and High school building, which
it has so far been unable to oxer
come. The problem of the in
stallation of a course In manuel
training and domestic science
has also been long before th
board. To settle one of these ques
tions almost f necessity involve
the other, and fr this reason the
board, at a recent special meet
ing, decided to inile the atten
tion and co-operation of the tax
payers of the school district to a
proposition of voting bond
amounting to s3i,i(io at the next
regular election ..ri April 5. llli.
This amount, or approximately
so, to be expended for the erec
tion of a new High school build
ing large enough to accommodate
the steadily increasing demand:
a portion of the grades, which
are largely over-crowded at pres
ent, ami provide room aIo for a
gymnasium, where the matter of
athletics could receive the proper
attention. The present High
school building Could then be
utilized for - u.e manual training
ami domestic science purposes.
A series; of articles will appear in
these columns and everj tax
payer in the school district is
urged to inform himself upon
this most important subject.
The board of education in pre
senting this matter during the
coming weeks before the election
and to be voted on at that time, j
taking the only course open to
learn the sentiment of the voters.
The board is aware of the need,
because they present themele
at almost every meeting, and it i
also aware that it will take money
to supply the needs.
This matter the voters mut
settle, and everyone is akcd to
carefully study the question for
himself, and consider aNo the
importance of the subject touch
ing the welfare of the youth of
our oommunilv.
