REV. 0. L DUNKLE
6ERGER GOES TO GRAND
RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
Rev. I). F. Dunkleberger, who
for the past two years has made
his home in this city, has decided
to remove to other fields, having
accepted a call to till the pulpit at
the Fifth Avenue Christian church
at Grand Rapids, Michigan. Rev.
Dunkleberger, during the time he
tilled the pulpit in the Christian
church in this city, was one of
the ablest ministers officiating in
the citv, and his resignation here
was received with the greatest re
gret by the members of his church
as well as the public of the city,
who had often been delighted with
the splendid sermons of this able
gentleman. It is with the deep
est regret that the citizens of
Plattsmouth will bid farewell to
Rev. Dunkleberger and his fam
ily, but they will trust that in his
new pastorate he may meet with
the success that his ability should
command. lie will leave Friday
to take up the work in the Michi
gan city. Mr. Dunkleberger is
very familiar with the section of
country which he is about to lo
cate in, as for a number of years
be was a student at college there.
HURRAY SCHOOL
DISTRICT ELECTS W. G.
OOEDEKER DIRECTOR
trom "Wednesday's Daily.
The voters of the .Murray school
district, wnich embraces the vil
lage of Murray, yesterday held
their school election for the pur
pose of dieting a member of the
school board of the district, and
as a result of the contest V. G.
Hoedeker was re-elected to the
position that he has tilled so ac
ceptably for the past two years.
I his district has just issued
bonds for the purpose of erecting
a new school house and the voters
certainly showed good judgment
in re-electing Mr. Hoedeker to the
position he has tilled so well, and
as he has been untiring in his
work for the success of the new
school building his election is a
great satisfaction to those in
terested in seeing that the new
building is erected and placed in
readiness for the fall term of
school.
MACHINERY AT THE
ARTIFICIAL ICE PLANT
UNDERGOES TEST
From Wednesday's Dally.
The machinery at the ice plant
will be given a thorough try-out
this afternoon, and in a few days
it is expected that the plant will
be in shape to begin turning out
the ice that will be used in this
city in the future. The plant has
been equipped with the best and
most modern machinery and
should be amply able to supply the
needs of the city in the way of
artificial ice. It will 11 1 1 a need
that has been felt here for a long
time and the citizens in general
should see that it is encouraged
and boosted in every way pos
sible. The cold storage depart
ment of the plant is a feature
that will be found most acceptable
to the merchants, who have in Hie
past been compelled to send eggs
and other perishable articles to
Omaha because of the fact that
they cannot be handled here, and
jf foe new company proposes to see
' t lat this difficulty is overcome in
the future, by the use of the cold
storage department of the plant.
Plattsmouth lias been a long time
securing a plant of this kind and
now that it is here its benefits
should be taken advantage of by
the merchants and residents of
the city.

MOTHER
CASE OF RABIES
DEVELOPED
In This Instance G. E. Dovey
Loses a Fine Cow That Had
to Be Killed.
Another ease of the rabies de
veloped in the city yesterday
when the line cow belonging to
George F. Dovey showed un
mistakable symptoms of the dis
ease that compelled Veternary
Surgeon Sandin to shoot the ani
mal. The first signs of the dis
ease appeared on Saturday, when
it was noticed that the animal was
acting strangely and refused to
at or drink water when it was of
fered to her. The veternary was
summoned and after seeing the
cow expressed his opinion that
he was probably developing a
case of the rabies and ordered her
tied up in a small shed until the
case could be more fully de
termined. The cow grew worse
and constantly moaned and began
to show all signs of the dread dis
ease and yesterday it was decided
to have the cow killed, and the
animal was accordingly put out of
her suffering.
Mr. Dovey. to be on the safe
side, decided to have the barn in
which the, cow had been kepi
burned, as she had chewed up the
wooden partitions and slobbered
over the interior of the barn or
shed in which she had been kept.
The lire department detailed some
ten or twelve men to look after
the work of destroying the shed
and last evening about 8 o'clock
the structure was burned, to
gether wilh fhe remains of th
cow. This is the most effectual
way of disposing of the matter,
as if does away with the chances
of other animals being affected
with the malady.
GOOD BASE BALL ;
GAME IN PROSPECT
FOR THE FOURTH
The base ball fans will be given
plenty of opportunity of getting
their money's worth this week, as
the management of the Hod Sox
has made arrangements to stage
two ball games here the l-'ourth,
one being in the morning- at In
o'clock and one in the afternoon
at li o'clock. Jloth of these games
of their game was disputed so ex
tensively fiver the decision of the
umpire that allowed Plattsmouth
will be with the team represent
ing the Dundee Woolen mills of
Omaha, which team was here
several weeks ago, and the result
lo win. The locals are in the best
of shape and will be ready to be
up and doing when the umpire
says "play ball." It is thought
that Mason will probably be used
in fhe contest on the morning of
the fourth, while Pike will pitch
in the afternoon, as well as on
Sunday afternoon, when the Dun
dees will again be the opponents
of the Red Sox. The Dundee are
a good, fast feam and these games
should prove very interesting all
the way through.

the con nly that the bauks will ful
fill all the requirements of the
law in caring for t lie county fund,
and they are then given the sum
asked for. on which the county
secures interest. In days gone by
the county funds were not pro
ductive of any money for the
treasury, but under fhe plan
adopted of placing it out where it
will draw interest there has been
quite a neat amount turned over

Such business-like methods are
rapidly displacing the old, care

St el son
Hats
as a result, that there has been
juite an appreciable increase in
the number of school children
between Ihe ages of 5 and IS
years in the city, which shows
that the city is surely gaining in
population. One fact discovered
by the census-takers was that
there was nof a house that pos
sibly could be lived in that
was not occupied, and that the
oldest and most tumbled-dow n
daces in the city have been oc
cupied by families who were un
able fo jind belter home's in which
to live; all of which shows the
need of more residences being
erected in the city to accom
modate the inrrcasin!r population,
which is constantly being aug
mented by fhe arrival of slrang
ers here seeking homes for them
selves ftt-d families.
