E LIGHT IS
SHED ON DANGER
OF ELEGTRUGTION
Electroution Is an Easy Matter
When Conditions Are
Right.
Since tho loat Ii of August
Havir la-t Saturday there ha
Ih'.'ii a groat lal of dispute as to
hv much electricity would be
nirpv-ary to cause tho doath of
a human beinir. and different
'-t irnat of tho number of volts
required havo vnrioil greatly. If
tl.'.' condition-; of tho person aro
such that tlioy aro over-heated
of weakened, tho number required
may he ry liiiht to oauso death.
'I'll.- following in regard to the
i;sni r of accidental electrocu
tion may ho of interest, and it is
taken from tho writings of ono
who ha- made a c!oo study of the
trojiosil ion :
If ou want to avoid tho danger
of !ein:r accidentally electrocut
ed, never take a hath in a room
whore the electric lighting fix
tures are installed in such a way
that they can ho reached when
you are standing or sitting in the
tuh.
Tin's i tho advice riven by
scientist- who havo been in
vent i -r n t incr the largo number of
accidents from electric shocks
ocourrinir in hath rooms.
There i peculiar danger, it is
found, from coming in contact
with an electric current while
takiiiir a hath owinr to tho fact
Hint when the surface of the body
i fiioi- it offers los resistance
t-t the current than when dry.
I'nder such conditions currents
of a low as if. volts may give
one a severe shock or even cause
death.
Those who havo studied the
subject strongly adise against
the widespread practice of in
stalling electric lights in side
walls at snch a height that they
may bo toucheil by a person
standing in the tub or on tho
floor.
The only safe place for electric
fixtures in the bath room is close
to the ceil in sr. so that they can bo
operated only by turning- a per
fei tly in-ulated flu-h switch just
inside the door.
I-lby hats have been found to
be another fruitful cause of death
or eriou injury by electricity.
The teel wire which forms the
framework of every derby makes
the be-d possible conductor for
an olwtric current. This js why
elect ricians and other whose
work brings them close to high
power current are cautioned
never to wear derbies.
PICK SETTLEMENT
AND PAYMENT ON
INSURANCE POLICY
From Tuesday's Daily.
Tho record of quick settlement
of insurance losses seems to have
been pretty well cornered by the
National .Fidelity and Causility Co.
of Omaha, as thin morning the
local aucnt. A. O. Moore, received
from tho head office at Omaha a
draft for s.'5oo in payment of the
policy carried in that company by
August llavir, the young man who
met such a tropic death here Sat
urday nii-'ht. The proof and claim
was sent to tho office yesterday
afternoon by Mr. Moore and this
nioniinsr the draft arrived
promptly. Tho insurance was
made payable to Mrs. Joseph
Uavir. the sister-in-law of the de
ceased, with whom he had made
his home since the death of his
brother a year aero. The young
man was also insured in the Mod
ern Woodmen of America for
000. and also in the Burlington
Relief, both of which policies will
pn to the parents of the deceased,
who reside in Europe. The
prompt settlement of the claim
was very pieasing to Mr. Moore
and will come in very handily for
tho unfortunate lady, who, inside
of a vear has suffered tho loss of
her husband and brother-in-law.
and will now lie compelled to look
after herTwvn welfare.
Hon. W. B. Banning and son
and Mrs. G. W. Garrison and
Charles Garrison motored up this
morning from their home at
Union to attend to some matters
in the county court.

THE MEN WHO TOOK
FISHING TACKLE APPRE
HENDED AT NED. CITY
Last Sunday evening the fish
ermen along tho Missouri rive!
from this city to Rock Bluffs, suf
fered the loss of quite a large
amount of their fishing tackle
and tho party or parties making
the raid were not b'cated. Sheriff
Ouinton was notified of the thefts
and at once got busy in endeavor
ing to locate the men who had
made away with the goods, evi
dently having gone on down the
river. Yesterday morning a mes
sage was received from Sheriff
Fisher at Nebraska City, inform
ing the sheriff that two men had
been apprehended there, and ask
ing that ho come there to take the
men in charge, as they were in
possession of quite an amount of
fishing- apparatus. Among the
parties who suffered the loss of
their nets and other articles were:
William Orebe of this city, Stan
ley Hall, Walter Byers and Wil
liam "Shera, and the value of the
stuff taken will amount to only
about ft 15. Sheriff Ouinton do
parted yesterday noon for the
Otoe county metropolis ami re
turned homo, bringing with him
the two men, who were lodged in
jail pending an examination by
the county attorney. When taken
in charge at Nebraska City the
men had in their possession a
skiff that it is believed they had
stolen at some point along tho
river, and a careful effort will be
made to locate the place where
they secured it. Tho men gave
their names as C. B. Ashley and
Charles Anderson, and stated
that they were all ready to start
back up the river with the boat
wtien they were taken into
custody. They came from the
vicinity nf Omaha, so it is claim
ed. Owing to the small value of
the property taken, if found
guilty, they will not suffer a very
heavv sentence.
Mrs. Russell Harris and little
daughter returned this morning
to their home at Omaha, after a
short visit here at the F. G
Frieke home.
Plattsmouth property is on the
advance. Better buy a home now
on the monthly payment plan be
fore it gets any higher; or, bet
ter still, buy some lots and build
a house that suits you. The
Plattsmouth Loan & Building As
sociation will make you a liberal
I loan. See T. M. Patterson, Secretary.
