Coun tiirran i i -.ill.-tron stated that he was wi!!ir:r to h.ave the .ork done, but .iid not favor the city going ahead and doi: th-? work, and in case that it was r.eces.-ary later to lower or laise ihe walk, to have to go to the ex jk'I .-e of making tit chancre. Mr. I.j-hinsky explained that lie had this ir. iew i:. referi dug (h- matter to the k n.:r.i:tce in order that some agree ment as to this might he reached it'a the present owner. Council man lie.-tor arose at this time and ir.o-.ired as to whether or rot agree ment made with the present owner wo'j'ul he bindinsr or, anyone who tr.iht later purchase the property.

Councilman I ushin.-ky stat td that he thought that if the officr-r was injured i?i the !iha:ge of his d.:tis it wa- .r!y ri.d.t that the city settle fo.- th- i ljun. iia,-ris was still ery rr.u.-h opposed to ths- allowing of the claim, as lie .-;,ited it would establish a bad pre.ee :ei t for the fu ture in paying othr 1 ills. Chairman Patterson of the tit ere committee then made a motion to allow all other bills with the exception of the Cuni rrins bill, which wa.-. cterrcu to the police committee for further inves tigation. Councilman Johnson stated that he did not see any good reason for turri'tig the bill down, as he thought it only the right thing to do to settle the claim. The motion of Patterson was finaliy carried to refer the bill to the police committee, with Hallstrom and Johnson voting nay. The report of City Clerk John N'e metz for the month just closed showed that the sum of Si, t; P.. 71 had been collected during the month for the different paving taxes and the oc cupation tax. and the sum had been turned over to the city treasurer. Chairman lies tor of the street, al leys and bridges committee arose and gave a verbal report on the condi tion of affairs on Mercer avenue, and stated that the committee had looked over the situation there and found that in some places the avenue was ouite narrow and would probably fill up with snow in the winter season, but he thought that the city was not in shape to buy land along the road to widen it, and if the persons fenc ing up the road would not give the reouired width for the roadway he was not in favor of the expenditure of a sum of money for this purpose. He asked that the committee should be given further time to consider the matter. Mayor Sattler stated he thought the committee should visit the avenue and prepare a written report covering the matter and submit it at the next meeting oi the count il- The tire and water committee, through the chairman, Mr. Johnson, submitted- a report covering the pe-. tit ion of C. W. Unman for a private sewer frcm his residence on Chicago avenue to the city sewer, and repott ed that as the sewer was open for a ditance the committee could not rec ommend the granting of the petition, as it might cause the city to be lia ble for damages frcm tne fact of the sewerage becoming offensive to the health of parties residing in that part- of the city. The report of the committee was adopted by the coun cil. Councilman Harris of the cemetery committee stated that he had been informed by the sexton that the planks used in the lowering of bodies at the cemetery had become old and worn, and he would like to have them replaced, and on motion of the coun cilman from the Fifth ward the city will purchase three oxlO timbers to he used for this purnosc. Councilman Lushinsky reported that the concrete work at the end of the subway was in bad shape at the present time and almost impassible for ttams or automobiles, and he thought the city should take some steps to have this fixed, as it was one of the important entry ways into the city and through which the travel from Iowa entered hrc. Councilman Johnson arose and stated that if the city c'ty did not have any rights in the land on the river bottoms he was not in favor of paying out money for improvement, if the land, there was in the county, and not the city limits. Councilman Dajeck stated that in his opinion, as this was one of the chief means of entrance into the city, he thought it m more than right that the city fix it up in proper shape, as the cost would not be great. Councilman Hallstrom, in address ing the council, stated that as the subway was under the tracks of the Iiurlinrton he thought they should (make the repairs there. He did not favor the city making the repairs if they were not to have any clabn on the land alone the bottom. ity Attorney Tidii at this time asked permission. to address the council, and stated that he had been waiting to ore ss the c;-se until he i could learn the attitude of the rail head company n lvgasd to claiming the lan l and whether or not the city would be compelled to litigate with !tV-..rv i! h:i(! oopn that the j railroad company would not interfere I in the case. He stated that he was convinced that the city had a just claim on the lar.d under the rulings of the courts, and he -would serve no tice on the parlies holding the land to vacate, and if they did not he ! would have tne fences removed an l j the city enter upon possession of the la. td us tneir property. Mr. a cae pas.-ed upon by tht l.-i-.td r;ra.-ak supreme court from Dakota county, which covered a claim sim iL.r to the one here, and stated that e the council did not ordr otherwise he would pjocced with the case at or.ee. Tire Nebraska Liuhtirg company, through its representative here, sub mitted figures to the council in re eard to the street 'ighting for the coming year. The matter was dis cussed at some length bv the mem bers of the council. ar A it was de- ( hied to give the light committee further time to investigate the mat te-- of ser ice and cost in other cities of the state. The finance committee of the city i ouncil reported the following claims, which were adopted with the excep tion of the claim of Dr. Cummins which was referred to the police corn mittee for investigation: Platts mouth Water Co., fire hydrant rental, .r.O; Nebraska and Iowa Steel Tank ( o., oiie steel culvert, STIi.C.8: A.

RECEIVES A KIND REMEMBRANCE I'l nin Wctlticvla y s l:ii!y. Nebraska Chapter No. 'A, K. A. M., of this city a few days ago received a gift that will be highly prized, as it comprises a trio of former mem bers of the Masonic fraternity of Plattsmouth. It is a photographic enlargement of the portraits of Ex Senator S. L. Thomas; his son. V. L. Thomas, and his grin d.son, Claire Thomas. These three gentlemen grandfather, father and ion were all taken into the Poya! Arch at one time at Long Deach, Cah. and the cer emony was one of the most impress ive ever held by the lodge there, and was attended by a number of the leading Masons of southern Califor nia. The picture will be highly prized by the lodge here, and is on exhibi tion at the Mauzy drug store before being placed in the lodge room and has already attracted a great deal of attention. BERT REED WITHDRAWS A3 THE PROGRESSIVE I'l oni Wednesday's- 1 i I v. The news was received in the city this morning from Irllmwood, an nouncing that licit Heed of that place, who was a candidate for the office of sheriff on the progressive ticket, had decided to withdraw from the race. The withdrawal had not been filed at noon With the county cler!:. but as the law adows them fif teen days before election to withdraw it is very probable that it will be filed in the next few days. Mr. Reed wau a candidate at the primary on the re publican ticket, and while defeated for that nomination received suffi cient votes on the progeFsive ticket for the nomination. ' " he ' withdrawal of Mr. Reed leaves only two candi dates. John Wundenich on the dem ocratic and Sheriff Quint on on the re publican ticket. TWO MM INJURIES AT THE BURLINGTON SHOPS I'rom Wednesdays Dally. Two employes of trie iJurlitrgton shops were placed on the retired list this mottling through two minor in juries that, whde no; serious, will keep them from their duties-for a few days. Fid. Rice suffered an in jury to the ring-finger of the left hand while oper ating an emery wheel, and the end of the linger sufferec from contact vith the wheel. J. W. Hale, who cp-tatc-s a saw at the shop.-, also was the victim of : slight accident while tig.iged with ; helper in t ipping a board at the saw The board few bark and rapped Mr. Hale a neat blow on the right hand. inflicting an injury hat wiil allow him a short rest from his duties. SEVERAL CASES IN POLICE TO PROCEED ON SOUTHWARD I-V'itm Tuesday's- Iaily. iudge M. Archer yesterday after noon enjoyed a rush of business that brought forth several violaters of the peace and quiet of our little city, and to all justice was meted out in a man ner that -will prove most beneficial to all concerned and the eity itself. John Harrison and a boon companion .had succeeded in accumulating a large size and quite notieeal le "jag," which they were greatly enjoying when the hard hearted police removed them to the bastile to spend a .short time re flecting over the rapidly vanishing liquid "joy ride." John, when brought before the judge, produced several large silver dollars that were suffi cient to placate the feelings of out raged justice, and he was sent on his way rejoicing, but his companion was sent back to the cold, unfeeling prison to languish until 20 and costs have been satisfied, as the judge, consid ering he was an old offender, decided he would be safer in jail than out. Jack O'Brien, Torn Ryan and Jim Drady, who are not natives of Spain, as their names might- indicate, were also up for a hearing before the judge on the charge of vagrancy, and the judge after considering the case decided not to detain the boys from their southern journey and gave them hiity niirrutes to travel, which thev 'd, and lf t Plattsmouth far hebind them in their rush to c warmer climate. U PLATTSMOUTH FORTY YEARS AGO Items of Interest to Our Reader Gleaned from the Newspaper Fiieol .Many Years Ago. Orr ii Thomas got .SCO in premiums for best Devon cattle at the state fair. State Grange Master Wm. I. Tor ter took $30 on best sow and pigs at the state fair. Peter Merges, our boot and shoe man, took the highest diploma for the best made custom boots at the state fair. Good for Merges. D. C. Flemming, of the firm of Flemming & Race, Weeping Water, called on the Herald last Friday. Mr. F. had just been east to purchase an other large stock of goods for his firm. Mrs. Johnson, wife of Peter John son, and mother to D. N., L. F. and O. F., is very low and not expected to live. Mrs. J. R. Dilley has left us for eastern Ohio to spend the winter and perhaps longer. The attractions of the old home are strong and the wives must go back now and then to see the "folks," have a good time and uget some peaches," though the days for going back east to get peaches are now among the things that were in Nebraska. SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE STREL SHOW MONDAY NIGHT To refute an old adtge, C. M. Dal ton will introduce what promises to be the only new thing under the sun, an Adamless musical show. The idea of the conceit originated in the brain of Miss Doris Dale, herself a pioneer in the art of entertaining. She has collected a bevy of pretty, fresh, sweet, young girls to whom she has imparted her ideas consummating in a clever show which she is pleased to style the "Merry Minstrel Maids." The program which they will offer on the occasion cf their first appearance here, presents a spaikling array of novelties which runs the gamut from an ail-girl minstrel first part, presid ed over by Miss Dale in the capacity of interlocutor, to the presentation cf the very newest of classic dances interspersed with several pretty mu sical oddities introducing the entire company of girls. The minstrel maid will indeed mark an innovation in the annals of local theattics, for we are assured that they, on the occasion of their visit, will conje as the one rea sparkling event of ihf. current sea son. At Parmele theatre Monday night, October 19. Certainly Some "Pipe." Edward Donat of the Peerless bar has a very rare article on exhibition at his place of business that he values lrghly through long personal asso elation. It is a pipe that was secured in Austria in 1881, and has since been used by Mr. Donat in his hours of leisure in wooing the fragrance from the tobacco. It bears a strange re semblance to the far-famed Missouri corn-cob, but we have it on strong authority that it was presented to Mr. Donat by one of the arch-dukes. A La mo Back Kidney Causes It. Trouble And it will gin you even worse if not checked. Mrs. II. T. Slrayngo, (Jainesvillo, (1n.t was fairly down mi lior back with kid ney trouble ami inflamed bladder.

VISITS OUR CITY Henry Snoke, democratic candidate Third commissioner district, came over last evening from his home at Eagle to spend a fev days here in Plattsmouth interviewing the voters and becoming acquainted with the citizens. Mr. Snoke is one of the best citizens in his section of the county, and while not so well known here in the eastern part of the coun- Tintn nrorinpl anil if rlinspn t r tVio ! office of commissioner will bring to that office splendid qualifications. He is easy to approach and every resi dent of Cass county will find him al ways ready to listen to their requests. He is also a successful, level-headed man who will devote to the office for which he is a candidate his whole time and energy, and is a man large enough in intellect to realize that the interests of the whole county are in his hands and will administer his of fice with that object in view. The voters of Cass county certainly will make no mistake n electing Mr. Snoke as the next commissioner from the Third district. AGAIN ON TRAIL OF DRIVERS OF VEHICLES WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS The police committee of the city council are again on the trail of the drivers of vehicles who do not com ply with the rules of the road in driviner their cars or teams and wagons along Main street in the man ner that is prescribed by law. The police have been instructed to take the matter up and try and straighten them out in order to avoid accidents through the driving of the vehicles along the wrong side of the street as well as in leaving their teams un hitched along the street. The move ment is a very good one and in their efforts the police should have the aid and co-operation of the drivers in trying to avoid accidents that will sooner or later occur through the practices. Notice to Hunters. All parties found tresspassing or hunting on my farm one mile north of the cemetery, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This no tice nn'ans just what it says, and the wise men will heed it. Henry Hilbert. Buy your stationery at the Journal office.
