AUTHORITIES "UP A
TREE" AS TO WHAT TO
DO WITH F. DEITHEL
From Saturday's Dally.
The question of what is to be done
with Fritz Deithel, the young man
who has been here for the past few
months as a charge on the city and
county is one that is now adding grey
hairs to the head of the county com
missioners and a solution of the prob
lem will bring a reward to anyone who
can bring it forth. The young man
i.5 now lodging at the county jail after
the uncessful efforts of the city to
get rid of him. He was fired out of
the city but in a few days was again
back in our midst and decorating the
passenger stations which are his fav
orite resting places and all efforts to
get him to take himself hence have
proven to be without success. He was
even sent out with a number of other
wanderers but did not wander far as
he deserted his companions and re
turned to Flattsmouth. The experi
ment of keeping him at the county
farm was not a success as he refuses
to do any work and raised several
varities of trouble with the other resi
dents of the farm so that it was nec
essary for the sheriff to remove him.
If he could be transported so far that
it would be impossible for him to re
turn the county would be a great deal
better off in the long run as it is rath
er expensive to maintain him and im
possible to let him roam at large and
freeze or starve to death.
FAREWELL TENDERED
TO MRS. V, ZUCKER
BY HER FRIENDS
FRED ENGELKEMEIER IS RE
PORTED AS BEING QUITE ILL
From Friday's Dally.
Fred Engelkemeier, residing in the
second ward is reported as being quite
ill at his home for the past few days
and his family and friends are quite
worried over his condition and there
does not seem to be any change for
the better. Mr. Engelkemeier is one
of the best known gentlemen in east
em Cass county as he was engaged
in farming for several years in the
vicinity of Nehawka, and his many
friends will regret very much to learn
of his unfortunate condition and
trust that he may soon show signs of
improvement.
"A QUEST FOR GOWN"
PURELY A LOCAL OPER
ETTA BY HOME TALENT
From Saturday's Dallv.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. V. Zucker
was given a most pleasant surprise by
a number of her friends at her home
and the occasion was one very much
enjoyed by the members of the party,
although the gathering was in the
nature of a farewell, as the Zucker
family will remove from this city in
the next few weeks, and there was a
general feeling of regret that their
friend was soon to leave them. The
"conspirators" gathered at the home
of Mrs. C"lirles Mehering, and at 5
o'clock, with well laden baskets of
good thinss to eat, moved onto the
Zucker home and were able to spring
a complete surprise on their friend.
Several hours were passed most pleas
antly in visiting and enjoying the so
ciety of each other, as well as in lis
tening to a number of delightful in
strumental numbers given by ML
Dorothy Zucker. The guest.?, when the
hour for parting came, wended their
way homeward, expressing their re
trret that they were soon to lose the
hostess from their circle of friendship
and wishing her much happiness in
her future home.
IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE PLATTSMQUTH
FRUIT STORE
From Saturday's Dally.
The Flattsmouth Fruit Co. of this
city has added several improvements
to the interior of their store which
will add greatly to the facilities of
their business and also serve to keep
a portion of their stock of goods in a
much more sanitary condition. This
is a fine new show case, which allows
the display of goods and at the same
time keeps in perfect condition from
the air and dust that might otherwise
prove a detriment to the trade. In
addition to the show case a fine dust-
proof candy case, as well as cheese
case, have been secured for the store
and are now in use. Mr. Hankinson,
the owner of the store, if possible, de-
fires to secure a large store room
where his large stock can be arranged
in proper shape and the expansion
desired in the business secured. The
new improvement is but the first of
the series that is contemplated by this
firm.
Women of Sedentary Habits.
Women who get but little exercise
are likely to be troubled with constipa
tion and indigestion and will find
Chamberlain's Tablets highly benifi
cial. , Not so good as a three
or four mile walk every day, but very
much better than to allow the bowels
to remain in a constipated condition.
They are easy and pleasant to take
and most agreeable in effect. Obtain
able everywhere.

From Saturday's Dally.
Forty-five of our most popular young
people are preparing to give us a treat
in the nature of a three-act comedy
with music, "A Quest for a down.
for the benefit of the local chapter of
the Daughters of American Revolu
tion. The cause is a most creditable
one, and we take for granted that the
play will be the same, as it was staged
in Fremont last year bv the same over
seers, at a high admission to a crowd
ed house and recieved many favorable
comments in the newspapers.
Mrs. Fred Laird and. Miss Alder
man of Fremont, who are authors of
the entire production words, music
and dance steps, and the staging the
play here, have written several other
plays and produced more than a dozen,
all of these were from the pen of one
or both of the Young ladies, and pro
duced at different places in the state.
Fapers from Fremont, Arlington.
Stuart and Lincoln, speak highly of
their ability and the results obtained,
as do also, the literary and musical
critics to whom the manuscripts have
been sent for criticism.
Miss Alderman, who writes the
music is highly praised as a young
woman of considerable talent. Two
of her Operettas for children have
been sold outright and are published
after having been successfully stageii
in Fremont. Mrs. Laird, who is
daughter of Judge Geo. Loom if, now
Internal Revenue Collector for Ne
braska, studied play writing and elocu
tion at Nebraska university and in
Hannover, Germany. She was regent
of the D. A. R. chapter at Fremont
when the play was produced there
The young ladies staged a nlav for the
Redpath Lyseum Bureau last sum
mer.
We hope in a few days to give our
readers the list of names of the cast
and a short sketch of the production.

From Saturday's Da:Ir.
The mandate of the state supreme
court in the ca. e of George E. Perry
vs. the City of Platt?rr.or.th has been
received in th? offico of the clerk of
the district court for record. In thi::
the supreme court afnims the decision
of the lower court in the case where
Mr. Perry sought a permanent injunc
tion against the city to prevent their
intorferring with his fencing of cer
tain streets i-i the south part of the
city where his property was located
and of which h3 had had possession
for some years. The plaintiff won the
case here in the district court in 1013
when it w.s tried before Judge Travis,
and was later appealed by the city to
the rtatc court, whore the city lost.
The case i now settled that Mr. Perry
can remain m possession cf the I er.ee d
up streets and the city not be able to
move the "ences and open up the high
ways for travel.

Cass county, passed away at York,
Nebraska, where he has been for the
past two years making his home there
in the state home of the I. O. O. F.,

different times has been visited by
slight visitations of this madly.

came to Nebraska in an early day and
located on a homestead near Weeping
Water where he resided for severa
years ami later uigatrea in tne car
renter business in this city, where
he was among the best known con
tractors in the city or county. With
hi:; advancing tci'.rs his her.lth grad
ually began to decline, he was com
pelled to vrive up his former activities
:nd retire to the homo of which this
order had founded for tneir a get! and
LI: members, where, with his wife he
has resided since leaving this city, lie
leaves the widow, two daughters, Mrs

A NUMBER OF THE
09SPEL TEAK WENT
TO UNION SUNDAY
Yesterday to assist in the work of
the xevival services now being held in
L'nion, a number of the members of
a gospel team from this city visited
our neighboring city and joined in th
services. Those who went from thi
city were: Jes:-e Perry, Hugh Cecil
Phil Hubbard, Verdon Vroman, Franl;
Frazier. Floyd Stone and E. II. Wes
cott. These gentlemen participated
i:i the services of the day and a most
pleasant time was had in the carry
in.? on of the religious extension work
that is being planned in all sections
of the country by the laymen of the
different creeds to further the spreat
of the doctrine of Christianity. The
members of the team gave testimony
as to their experience in the line of
Christian work and what the uplifting
Influence cf the church has did for
tiiem. Th? Union meetings are con
;-tanlly growing in interest and the
attendance has become quite large
as the work of Rev. Druliner con
tinues, and it seems as though that
community was to have one of the
greatest religious awakenings in roc
"lit years. The meetings will con
inue all this week at least, as the in-
rerest is becoming more manifest.
ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-ONE ISSUED
From the records in the office of
County Judge Beeson it is learned
that during the year just passed
there was issued in his office 131 mar
riage licenses, which entitled 2C2
happy hearts to join in wedlock, and
the showing is a very good one and
.'hows that the matrimonial market is
keeping a steady growth that in
dicates that Dan Cupid is still busy
in old Cass county in rounding up the
young and old who dwell in a state
of single blessedness.

weeks ago as a result of being kicked

Mr. Hathaway has stood the ordeal
of the operation in fine shape and his
leg has healed up nicely and he will
soon be able to be around as well as
usual, although it will be some time
before he has thoroughly become ac
customed to getting around with only
one of his lower limbs. It is a source
of pleasure to the many friends o
this estimable gentleman throughout
the county to learn that he is getting
along so nicely and to have him back
