AN OLD MAN WITH A
GOOD SIZED "SKATE"
LANDS IN POLICE COURT
Yesterday afternoon, for the
fir.-t time since Tliuixlay, April
a culprit too before Judge
Arcber in the police court, and
the victim in the case was an
apvil man named Ha i ley, who has
Imm'ii employed around on the
farms in this locality for the past
few months, and who had ac
cumulated a laie sized "skate,"
and one ditlicult to handle with
a-e, and this had rotten him
tanhd up with the strong arm
of the law. Mr. Bailey stated to
the court that he had received a
dollar from a party that he had
loaned it to, and which he had
figured he would never receive
hack, and beinjr thrilh-d by the
thoughts of his jrood luck lie de
cided to invest in "fire water"
before he was tempted to loan
the dollar auain, and this he did,
with the consequence that he was
allowed to tell his troubles to the
court, and that body decided to
allow him to cro forth to resume
hi labors, as there is no suita
ble place to keep these kind of
prioners at present, and the old
gentleman went on his way re
joicinir. toward the place of his
employment .
Tops the Hog Market.
From "Wednesday's raili.
A. F. Jioedeker, one of the
Journal's mighty good friend?
from near Nehawka, was in the
city a few hours last evening, re
turning home from South Oma
ha, where he had been with a car
of hojis that were on the market
Wednesday morning". The hosrs
sold for per 100, which
price was 5c above the top, which
certainly proves that Mr. Uoedek
er is onto his job in raising hogs.

Uiey were 1 1-inonths-old pigs
and weighed 200 pounds each
They were sold by -the Ralslon

that he was more than pleased
with the excellent treatment he
received at the hands of this ex
cellent firm. Ab topped the
market a few days ago with a car
of cows and veals, and says h
has a car of cattle nearly ready
for market that, he expects to do
the same stunt with when they
are placed on the market in a
short time.

GARRANZA SENDS
WARLIKE NOTE
Rebels to Join Huerta in Case
of War Coming.
HOSTILE MESSAGE TO WILSON
Constitutionalist Chief Drops Bomb
Into Official Camp at Washington by
His Flat Declaration Land Forces
May Be at Once Involved.
Washington, April 23. News that
General Carranza, constitutionalist
chief, had regarded the seizure of Vera
Cruz by the American naval forces as
an act of hostility to the Mexican na
tion fell like a bombshell in official
circles.
Replying to a telegram from Secre
tary Bryan, General Carranza tele
graphed that the United States is not
justified in occupying Mexican terri
tory.
"The invasion," says the latter,
"will drag us (Mexico) into an unequal
war with dignity, but -which until to
day we desired to avoid."
President Wilson had especially dis
claimed any act of hostility to tho
Mexican people, particularizing Gen
eral Huerta as the object of the Amer
ican operations to procure reprisal for
offenses at Tampieo and elsewhere
against th? American flag. Conse-
quently the Washington government
had hoped the constitutionalists would
remain silent and not interject them
selves into the imbroglio. General
Carranza's letter, however, confirmed
the fears of many officials that the
constitutionalists might side with Gen
eral Huerta. This was the one possi
bility nhich had been discussed in ad
ministration circles as the most seri
ous phase in the situation.
Should hostility on the part of the
constitutionalists crystallize plans ol
the army would be changed. There
were reports during the day that the
joint army and navy board already
hnd recommended the restoration of
the embargo on arms.
Extent of Present Plans.
Action by congress approving th
president's course in using the army
and navy as he proposed in his mes
sage, and the receipt of details ot
fighting at Vera Cruz were the chief
developments of the day. Officials ex
pressed themselves as greatly pleased
with the promptness of Rear Admiral
Fletcher in taking possession of Vera
Cruz and restoring order there.
Future steps are uncertain. The
president has determined that his
course shall be gradual. No order
have been issued to seize the customs
house at Tanipico. It is the .purpose
of the administration to keep order
in Vera Cruz and await the full effect
on General Huerta of the first act ol
reprisal by the American government
There i every reason to believe
that the railroad running inland from
Vera Cruz for twenty miles, together
with a valuable trettle, will be policed
by American marines and bluejackets
This section of the railroad is of su
preme importance should future devel
opiuents require a movement on ilex
ico City.
Beyond the holding of Vera Crua
and this railroad the Washington gov
ernment does not want to act at all,
but persons in the confidence of the
administration admit that action bj
General Huerta or General Carranza
at any time may alter all plans.
Worry Over Americans.
Fears for Americans in Mexico Cit
and other parts of the troubled repub
lie are expressed in many quarters
The house promptly passed a bill ap
propriating $5i0,0W to care for refu
gees. The fact that nothing had been
heard from Charge O'Shaughnessy foi
nearly forty-eight hours made Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan un
easy, unomcial communication with
Mr. O'Shaughnessy was established
but apprehension had not been allayed
as there is little information about
the temper of the Huerta government
or the people of Mexico City since the
capture of Vera Cruz.
Relations Are Broken.
Charge Algara has received notifica
tion from his government that he may
be recalled at any moment. This is
regarded as possibly forecasting Gen
eral Huerta's giving passports tc
Charge O'Shaughnessy.
Although international lawyers and
many in congress are not sure what
the diplomatic relations of the United
States toward Mexico are, whether "s
state of war" exists without a declara
tion to that effect, or whether, as
many precedents have shown. th
present situation is merely an act ol
reprisal "short of war," there is nc
doubt that relations between the Hu
erta de facto government and tht
United States have broken.
The United States will not withdraw
Charge O'Shaughnessy unless he him
self reports it advisable to do so, foi
the Washington government desires tc
maintain as long as possible a repre
sentative in Mexico City to care foi
Americans. If necessary, arrange
ments may be made with some of th
other foreign legations to look out foi
the interests of the United States and
transmit such communications as may
be necessary to the Huerta govern
ment.
Volunteers for service in Mexicc
will not be called for unless there is s
formal declaration of war by congress
This was announced in the house b
Chairman Hay of the public militar
affairs committee.
THE CARNIVAL COMPANY
MAY COME 10 PLATTS
MOUTH AS ANNOUNCED
The mailer of the street car
nival seems to i.e reviving- .-oine-what
and it is quite probahle
that the company will appear
here on the week of May ilth, as
the arrangements for the secur
ing f a suitable location have
about been completed. The Alle
man company is one of the best
that is on the road this season
and the people of the city in pren
eral will be pleased to learn that
they will probably be able to be
here to till their contract, which
they have made wilh the com
mittee representing the Itedrnen
Iodize. The company wherever it
has appeared has been spoken of
very hi.uhly and will show in St.
Joseph, Missouri, Council Hlufl's
and South Omaha, and come from
the last named city to l'latts
moulh. The committee were
preatly disappointed at their fail
ure to secure the use of the
streets of the city for the use of
the carnival, but have a site in
view now that, while not what
mipht be desired, will be ample to
accommodate the many line at
tractions of the carnival com
pany. The Alleman company will
have eighteen cars to haul their
attractions and the large size of
the organizal ion can be judged
from this fact.
SOENNiCHSEN RECEIVES
A GAR LOAD OF THE
VERY FINEST POTATOES
The enterprising grocery firm
of II. M. Soennichsen has received
a carload of fine potatoes from
Minnesota, which they will place
on the market at once for the
benefit of the customers of the

of the celebrated Mammoth Pearl
variety, were raised on the farm
of Imvid YVichmaim at Fort Rip
ley, Minnesota, and are the linest

be procured in the markets of the
country. They will be sold for
!?i.00 per bushel, and the public
who desires to purchase potatoes
for their use should not fail to
call on Mr. Soennichsen and have
their wants supplied before the
amount on hand is exhausted.

KENSINGTON CLUB
DELIGHTFULLY ENTER
TAINED BY MRS. ZUGKER
The Kensington club was
entertained yesterday afternoon
in a most delightful manner by
Mrs. V. Zucker, at her home on
Main street, and the occasion was
one of the most delightful that
the members have participated in
for some time, and they enjoyed
to the utmost the pleasant hos
pitality they received at the
hands of the hostess. The ladies
spent the time most pleasantly
in plying the busy needle and in
delightful social conversation
ami in visiting- among; them
selves for several hours. One of
I he features of the afternoon's
entertainment that was most
thoroughly enjoyed was the
tempting- luncheon served by the
hostess, assisted by Mrs. I).
Smith, and there was nothing
omitted from the menu that could
contribute to the pleasures of the
company. The dining table was
a most beautiful one, being- dec
orated in green and white, which
made a very handsome setting
for the deiicious luncheon. The
club yesterday had as their
guests Mesdames M. Fanger of
Missouri Valley, Iowa; R. M.
Shlaes ami Martha IJaumeister
of Plattsmouth.
Cass County Getting Aroused.
That Cass county will produce
at least one democratic candidate
for the slate senate and two or
three for the float representative
job on the republican ticket was
the statement made in Nebraska
City yesterday by a Plattsmouth
man who was here on business.
"You fellows down here in Otoe
county have been 'hogrgring'
things on us and we are not g-o-ing
to stand it; besides we don't
like the looks of things as they
have been framed up," he stated
Nebraska City Press.
Junior "Deutsches Klub."
Yesterday afternoon after the
toils and worries of the day at
school, the Junior (icrman class
of the High school wended their
way down to the Old Muddy for a
picnic supper. The class met at
the Burlington station, and in
about an hour reached their
destination. The evening- was
spent in roaming- the hills and
gathering many specimens of
spring's earliest flowers. The
ferryman greatly assisted in the
pleasures of the evening- by permitting-
the class to cross tin
river on the ferry. At about Cr.'.iO
the "cooks" announced that sup
per was ready, to which all did
ample justice. YVeinies were
hung- over a camp fire to roast
and they seemed to disappear
more rapidly than the majority
of the class desired. The crowd
arrived in town about dark and
some spent an enjoyable and
laughable hour al the Oem theater.
