THINK ABOUT
The Central Sihool I.uilding in Had
Shape and L'able to Tumble
I).Hii at Anv Time.
One of the preatest loves in the
wo. Id is that of the parent for their
ihilil, ami there is hardly any danger
that they will not ward off from their
children, if it is possible, and to give
their iJlVprinfr the greatest advant
::i'cs iii the world is the aim of the
laitrer per cent of the fathers and
mothers of Plattsmouth and every
(her community in the country. But
h-v manv of the Darents of the city
have ever visited the school buildings',
ar. l particularly the old Central build-i.-.ir
and inspected it and weighed the
n .h of that inspection in their mind
us to what it means to them in the
;;!f'!y of their children?
The superintendent of the schools,
as well as the members of the school
bt.arj have done what was possible to
le.ike conditions there as safe as they
fo'i'd, but the cold, plain fact of the
m: ttir is that the old building that
las -tood for forty years on High
Sihool Hiil has outlived its day of
u-t f.ilni.-ss and each year becomes
i-i. re and more of a menace to the
safety of the hundreds of children
tht are sheltered beneath its roof.
In early years after its erection the
building was weakened by a small
turthquuke, which made it really
('.ar.gerou-:, and a few years later one
itory was taken off of the upper part
f the building for safety to the
structure, and these steps have clearly
j-hown that even then the danger to
the building was recognized by those
who had come in touch with the con
ditions pit vailing at the Central build
ing. Time has not dealt kindly with
the old brick structure and each year
it becomes more and more apparent
ihat it is gradually tumbling down on
the community, and the lower courses
of brick in the building have become
.'oft and the foundations settling have
caused large cracks to appear in all
parts of the outside walls, which
dearly shows warnings of what may

THE
some day be a tragedy that will strike
at the homes and hearts of I'iatts
mouth people as nothin.r else has ever
done, and that is in the loss of hun
dreds of the Innocent school children
crushed beneath the toppling walls of
the old building, which beyond further
patching and repair, coll tpses and be
neath its ruins crushes out the lives of
the hundreds who are there attending
school. The building has really years
ago passed its stage of usefulness, and
yet necessity has compelled its use to
house the youth of the city during
their school hours when the old struct
ure s!;akes r.n 1 trembles in the face cf
the windstorms that sweep over the
city, and if the use of it is continuous
there will come a day when it no long
er trembles, but comes tumbling down
around the heads of the children,
causing the tleath of many and per
haps hundred? of them.
The lives of the children attending
school are worth all that could ever
be put into a school building, and it
certainly locks like a false standard of
economy to jut in peril the lives of
the children of tha community to save
the necessity of facing the need of the
erection of a new school building.
Parties who have visited the Central
building and looked over the condi
tions there have left with a more
sobered sense of the fact that is today
staring the people of Plattsmouth di
rectly in the face, and that is that a
new school building is required to
house the school childien, and one
that will be safe and not constantly
put the lives of the pupils in danger.
In these modern days when the
"Safety First" doctrine is being
preached from every institution and
by the great corporations of the coun
try, it does not look very good to re
quire that the lives of the school chil
dren be put in peril every day of the
week. The need of the building is such
that to delay it is to invite a disaster
that will shock the entire community,
and this would not be desired by any
one, but without doubt that is what
will occur some day if the present
Central building is allowed to stan 1
as a menace with its cracked walls
and general out-of-date and unsafe
condition.
Education is one of the greatest
factors in the life of the community
and the school, with the chare's, makes
for the future of the community and
the rising generation and they should
be given a place that is not a con
stant death trap and that at any time
may collapse.

TWO HAPPY HEARTS
OF PLATTSMOUTH
NOW BEAT AS ONE
Yesterday in Omaha occurred the
mairiage of Mr. Julius Engelkemeier,
one of the prosperous young farmers
of near Munay, and Miss Tillie
Ploeger of this city. The young peo
ple visited the metropolis to have the
mat! imonial knot tied and their friends
last evening awaited their coming,
but the bridal couple, suspecting some
thing was in the wind in the way of a
reception, decided not to return until
the 1:40 train, and the jolly crowd of
friends who had visited No. 14 to
greet the newly weds, were badly dis
appointed. The young people will
make their future home on the farm
near Murray. The groom is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Engelkemeier of
this city and a very energetic and
capable young man, who has made a
great sucess of-himself. The bride
s ere of our popular young ladies pnd l
has been in charge of the M. E. Smith
shirt factory in this city for some
time, and to those who know her best
she is a lady of a most lovable dis
position.
J. L. BURROWS AND
MISS LOUISE GUTH
MANN MARRIED
Among the marriage licenses issued
in Omaha yesterday appears the
names of John Lester Burrows and
Miss Louise Guthmann, both of this
city, who were later united in the
bonds of wedlock there and returned
home yesterday afternoon on No. 2, as
Mr. and Mrs. Burrows. The wedding
had been looked forward to by the
friends of the young people for some
time, but they were able to have the
ceremony without many getting on to
the fact, as they departed for Omaha
many of the friends got off the watch.
Toth of the contracting parties are
well known in this city, where they
have made their homes for a number
of years, and in their new found hap
piness they will receive the heartiest
best wishes of their many friends.
Both are very popular among a large
circle of friends and their decision to
journey through life as one will be a
source of a great deal of pleasure to
their friends. They expect to make
their home in this city for the pres
ent at least.

Geo. W. Clough, of Prentiss, Miss.,
is seventy-seven years old and had
trouble with his kidneys for many
years. He writes that Foley Kidney

many remedies, but this is the only

MRS. DORA MOORE
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Lynch,
who is making her home with Mrs.
Dora Moore, was made the recipient
o: a very pleasant birmuay surprise
by Mrs. Moore, who had invited a
number of neighbors and friends to
come over in the afternoon and assist
her in celebrating the birthday an
niversary. Mrs. Lynch was very much
overcome when the merry company
I entered the Moore home and greeted
her with "surprise." But she was
soon herself again and made her
guests feel very much at home. The
afternoon hours were whiled away in
a most delightful social time, various
amusements being indulged in which
I made the occasion a most enjoyable
one. lJuring the afternoon Airs. L.ynen
was presented with a handsome birth
day gift, which will assist her in re
membering this happy occasion, and
the friends who assisted her in making
it such. At 4 o'clock Mrs. Moore
served a delicious birthday luncheon,
which materially added to the pleas
ures of the afternoon. Un their de
parture the guests wished Mrs. Lynch
jnany more such happy birthdays and
extended their warmest thanks to Mrs.
Moore for her kind hospitality and the
delightful afternoon's entertainment
afforded them. Those in attendance
were: Mrs. A. S. Will and daughters,
Misses Dora and Fannie; Mrs. Mutz,
Mrs. II. Spangler and daughter, Miss
Elizabeth; Mrs. Charles Troop, Mrs.
August Gorder, Mrs. John Hallstrom,
Mrs. Clayton Rosencrans and Mrs. F.
IJ. Shopp.
THE MYSTERIOUS MR. W. AT
THE GEM AGAIN TONIGHT
The vaudeville last evening at the
Grand theater, given by the mysteri
ous "Mr. W ?" proved an unusual
ly strong drawing card and a fair-
sized audience braved the bad weather
to be present and enjoy the entertain
ment provided. The magic acts given
by the mysterious W was much
enjoyed, as well ds his comedy offer
ings, and this, in addition to the ex
cellent program of moving pictures,
made an evening that was one of thor
ough enjoyment. The entertainment
will be given this evening for the last
time, and from the well satisfied audi
ence of last evening there should be a
large number present.
THE COUPLE WE HAD MAR
RIED WERE NOT MARRIED
The account of the wedding of Mr.
Finder and Miss Hanasek, which ap
peared in the Journal of last evening
seems to have had its origin in the
fertile brain of some of the friends of
the young people, who evidently
thought to play a joke on them by
giving out the information to the pub
lic and allowing it to appear in print.
The parties state that they have not
been married and do not in the least
relish the publicity they have secured
in the matter, which has been quite
embarrassing to them both.
Suffering From Sprained Ankle.
Miss Florence White, the efficient
deputy in the county register of deeds
office, is on the retired list, due to the
fact that she sustained a fall on Tues
day evening at the roller skating rink
which resulted in her right wrist
being sprained in quite a severe man
ner, and Miss White has been enjoying
an enforced lay-off from her duties.
HIS REST WAS BROKEN.
O. D. Wright, Rosemont, Neb.,
writes: "I was bothered with pains in
the region of my kidneys. My rest
was broken by frequent action of my
kidneys. I was advised by my doctor
to try Foley Kidney Pills, and one 50
cent bottle made a well man of me."
They relieve rheumatism and back
ache. Sold everywhere.
