L. W. LORENZ WILL
ERECT A FINE HOME
IN THE FIRST WARD
L. W. Lorenz, who a few years ago
purchased the property, just east of
the new residence of Mrs. W. T. Cole,
has decided to erect himself a new
home there and work will be com
menced at once on the building of the
house. The new residence will be
30x33 and consist of seven rooms, all
of which will be finished in the most
modern manner and no expense will
be spared to make it one of the nicest
homes in the city in every way. Mr.
Lorenz, who is one of our most enter
prising merchants, is demonstrating
his confidence in the future of the city
by erecting a beautiful home that will
be a credit to that section of the city
where there are so many handsome
residences. He has fixed his home on
Eighth street up in nice shape, but his
new residence will be much closer to
the business section of the city and
will be one of the handsomest homes
in Plattsmouth when completed.

THE DARKENING
TRAIL AT THE AIR
DOME TONIGHT
Tonight at the Air Dome will be
presented that thrilling story of the
northwest, "The Darkening Trail
which has been placed on the stage
through the medium of moving pic
tures by the Mutual company, who
have made this one of their master
pieces, with William S. Hart as the
leading character in the role of
"Yukon Ed." The play is laid in
Alaska and the settings are on a scale
never before attempted in showing
the life of the great northwest. The
synopsis of the story is as follows:
Jack Sturgess, a cad and spend
thrift, quarrels with his father and
runs away from home. When he turns
up in the Yukon district his supercili
ous manner arouses the ire of the
miners and he is forced to run the
gauntlet of some rather rough horse
play. He is rescued from their
strenuous attention by Ruby McGraw,
proprietor of the general store, who
becomes infatuated with him. Later,
when Jack's attentions to Ruby be
come too marked, "Yukon Ed," who
is in love with Ruby, distrusting his
motives, arranges a marriage between
the two. Jack soon tires of Ruby and
spends most of his time at the dance
halls. One stormy night, returning
home intoxicated, he falls unconscious
upon the trail. Ruby finds him and.
covering him with her cloak, holds him
in her arms all night. The exposure
brings on a severe illness and as she
is dying, in her delirum, she implores
Jack not to let her go alone into the
"Unknown." "Yukon Ed" hears her,
drags Jack from the dance hall to
Ruby's bedside, and sends him to meet
her on the "darkening trail."
THE LADIES TURNING CLASS
ENJOY A VERY FINE OUTING
The young ladies composing the
ladies' turning class at the T. J.
Sokol hall, yesterday enjoyed an out
ing near the ferry which proved a
most pleasant event to the jolly party.
The expedition departed for the scene
of action about 10 o'clock, with a
great many baskets laden with good
things to eat, and everyone feeling
that they were out to have the time
of their lives, and from all reports
they surely had a royal time. Games
were played and a jolly time spent in
the cool shade, as well as in boating
and other amusements until the ef
fects of the cool breeze and open air
whetted the appetites of the ladies
and they proceeded to make the host
of good things to eat look very slim
and everyone vowed that the party
had been one of the rarest enjoyment.
House Catches Fire.
The old frame residence on Pearl
street near the old county jail build
ing caught fire this afternoon about
2:30, caused by a leaky gasoline stove
exploding, and in a few minutes the
blaze was all over the kitchen walls
and ceiling, but the assistance of
neighbors and several men succeeded
in putting the fire out before the ar
rival of the fire boys. The house was
occupied by a family named Painter,
who moved in there on Tuesday, and
as a result they lose their kitchen
furniture. '
WANTED TO BORROW
PRIVATE MONEY.
I have a customer who wants to
borrow $4,000 on 100 acres of good,
improved Cass county land near
Plattsmouth. Security gilt-edge.
If a Nebraska father and ex-husband
refuses or neglects to pay for
the support of his child or children as
required by the terms of a decree of
divorce secured against him in any
of the district courts of the state, he
stands a chance of being thrown into
jail and serving from three to six
months for each offense. A law pass
ed by the last legislature imposing a
penalty for such offense became ef
fective July 1C. It reads:
"Whenever any husband, against
whom a decree of divorce and alimony
for the support of his children shall
have been rendered by any court in
this state, shall without good cause,
refuse or neglect to pay to the per
sons noted the amounts and manner
provided by such decree, he shall Le
guilty of a misdemeanor and shall on
conviction, be imprisoned in the coun
ty jail not less than three and not
more than six months for each offense,
provided the refusal or neglect to so
pay each separate installment or pay
ment of such money as provided by
the decree shall be held to be a
separate offense and punishment as
such."
It is believed at the court house
that the new law will have the effect
of district court judges becoming
more particular in the matter of
making orders- for child support. A
closer investigation into the ability of
the husband and father to pay a cer
tain sum monthly for the support of
his children will result. As one dis
trict judge put it, the financial condi
tion and the earning power of the
man must be fully determined. A per
son should not be imprisoned for a
debt which he is unable to pay. He
pointed out that monthly payments
for child support might prove so
burdensome that the victim of the law
might be forced to remain in jail for
an indefinite time. To keep the bread
winner in jail would not provide cloth
ing and food for dependent children.
As 90 per cent of the divorce cases
in the courts are brought by women
the child support matter is a live issue.
SCHOOL BOARD LETS CON
TRACT FOR NEW SIDEWALK
The school board, at their special
session Tuesday evening, inspected
the bids for the erection of a concrete
wall adjoining the property of the
school on High School Hill, and let

tion Co., and work will be commenced
at once. The wall to be constructed
will be made three and a half feet
high from Tenth street to the steps
leading to the Central building and
from there east to the east side of
Ninth street the wall will be made
only three feet high. The Concrete
Construction Co. will also construct
new permanent sidewalks leading
around the Central and High school
buildings, which will be in readiness
for the opening of school.

THE GUILTY PARTIES
PLEASE REPORT AT
THE JOURNAL OFFICE
Four well dressed young men came
to this city yesterday, it is thought
from Plattsmouth, and after taking
on a load of intoxicants went to the
garage of R. A.' Duff, at the corner
of Fifth street and Central avenue,
where they proceeded to go into the
office of R. A. Duff, and committed all
kinds of nasty tricks. Mr. Duff dis
covered the young men and reported
the same to Chief of Police Grant
Yates, who soon located the festive
four smart Alecks. He told them he
would not arrest them if they went
down to the Duff office and cleaned it
up. They had to secure scrub
brushes, mops and other things and
doff their clothes and get busy. They
were taught a lesson they will not
soon forget and will respect the rights
of others. The officer then ordered
them to take the first train out of the
city after they completed their en
forced labors. Nebraska City News.,

Things to Consider in Buying a Car!
SERVICE Every Overland Car sold in this vicinity since 1908
is still in service.
PRICE No car today gives as much real value for the money as
the Overland. You can satisfy yourself on this subject by comparing
specifications with competitive cars.
UP-KEEP No car was ever built that did not at some time or
other need some repair. Repairs for the Overland can be obtained
the same day as ordered, and at prices far below what other manu
facturers charge. This fact does not occur to the average buyer until
he needs some parts and finds it takes from one to three weeks to get
parts and in many cases at prices two and three times what the Over
land asks. Automobile factories have declined in numbers from
270 in 1911 to 1 19 in 1915. In other words 1 5 1 factories out of 270
have quit making cars in the last four years, and well informed men
in the automobile business predict that the change in the next two
years will be still more startling, which means that it will be still more
difficult and still more delay on parts for cars that are not being man
ufactured at that time.
There is only one manufacturing plant in the world that produces
more cars than the Overland Company, which has increased its pro- ,
duction from 400 cars in 1908 to over 100,000 cars per year now.
If the Overland car had not given far better average satisfaction to
the buyer in the past it would not have outstripped all its competitors,
many of which were in the automobile field twice as long.
