JAMES HIGLEY INJURED
AT MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA
From Wednesday's Dalir.
Last evening a message was re
ceived here by James Higley announc
ing that his son, James W. Higley, had
been injured at Muskogee, Oklahoma,
in an accident. The message did not
state just how the accident occurred,
but it is thought that it must have
been an accident in the railroad shops
there, where James was. employed for
the last few weeks. An answer was
sent to Muskogee by the father of the
young man and the reply received
from the head physician in the hos
pital there which stated that the in
juries were not so dangerous as to
necessitate the attendance of the
family at the side of the young man.
The accident occurred yesterday .af
ternoon. TEACHERS SELECTED

MUCH OF THE MA
TERIAL FOR PAVING
A part of the material which will
be useel in the paving of the alley
south of Main street is on hand now
and it is probable that the work will
be started as soon as the weather con
ditions will permit cf the concrete
work. The paing will be similar to
that in use on the north side, concrete
being used throughout in the work. It
will be a mighty fine improvement to
the city and if it is possible to get the
construction linisheil before the spring
and summer rains set in will be hailed
with elelight by those who fintl it nec
essary to juse the alleys to get to
heir places of business with delivery
teams and for the men who handle
the freight deliveries to the business
houses in that part of the city. The
paving of the north side alley has
added a great deal to the value of ti e
property there as well as made a
much better appearance to that sec
tion of the city and it certainly has
been needed very much on the south
side for the last few years, as despite
all work that cculd be done the alley
has been almost impassable a greater
part of the summer months. This will
be a great start for the summer pro
g;an: of public improvements and
demonstrates that the citizens and the
city government are -ill working for
the advancement of the city along
the lines which wil lmake lllb' a red
letter date in the matter of the exten
sion of public work in the paving line
which will put Plattsmouth in the
ranks of the other progressive cities
cf the state.
HEIRS TO LAND ON
WHICH CITY OF BALTI-
ORE IS LOCATED
Several days ago Mrs. Agnes Keith
ley, owner of the Syracuse Journal
and a lady well known throughout
('as; ccurty, where he made her
ho;r.e for many years at Weeping Wa
ter, received a letter stating that she
; was one or tne sixty-nine neirs ue
! b.r.ging to the house of Se f i, wha-
i
. i i i
j 1 ad bLC-:i e:y prominent in Scoliam
a ir: cat inanv years aero. The letter
! stated in sub-stance that the three Sea
ton brothers had in early days obtain
' ed large tra.ts of land at a very low
price and ha 1 leceived the ownership
' of the land froai the crown. Ther
I are now sixtv-rdne of the heirs to thi
l ...
estate hvinir and the land which, it is
claimed their ancestors held titie to
ha been leased in sections to the city
of Iki'tlrnore, for a period of 10
years, the lease on which has but re
ctr.tly expired.. The value placed o:
the lan.l at the piocnt time is 22,
000,0';0 and embraces a part of the
business dist'Ici of Baltimore. Ore
of the heirs in the estate has gone to
liaitimoie. accompanied by his attor
ney, to investigate the case and if pos
sible secure a settlement of the Ian
which is claimed by the Seaton fara
ily and their descendants.
The case is of particular interest in
this city as not only is Mrs. Keith
ley one of the heirs of the Seaton for
tune but also Mrs. Anna Mullis an;
Isaac Cecil of this city as well as ti e
heirs of the late Stephen Cecil. It wil
probably be some time before a settle
ment of the estate can be secured an:
if the claims are established the grea
value of the land involved will prob
ably base a long fight through the
courts to establish the rights of the
heirs to the land.
The friends of the. parties interested
would certainly be pleased if they are
able to establish their rights and al
lowed to join in the division of the
land which would easily make them
millionaires.
The city of Baltimore and in fact
the greater part of Maryland was
conveyed in colonial days by the
crown of England to the leading fam
ilies of that country in favor with the
ruling house and held by them for
many years but in a great many cases
the heirs have lost all trace of the
original holdings of their families in
the commonwealth founded by Lord
Calvert, or Lord Baltimore as he is
known in history.

HELPERS OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH ARE ENTERTAINED
The Helpers of the Christian
church were very pleasantly enter
tained by Mrs. C. E. Perlee yesterday
afternoon. This being their regular
meeting, a short business session was
held, after which the ladies spent the
remainder of the afternoon in various
amusements, interspersed with social
conversation, which made the occasion
a most enjoyable one. Mrs. E. C. Setz
fr.vored the company with several
very pretty vocal selections and Mr.
and Mrs. Perlee contributed a number
of violin selections, which were most
highly appreciated by the large num
ber in attendance. At the proper
time the hostess served some very de-
licious refreshments, which all did
ample justice to and which were like-
wise most thoroughly enjoyed. At
the usual hour the ladies dispersed,
very much indebted to the hostess for
the splendid afternoon's entertainment
afforded them and declaring her to be
a most excellent entertainer.
CHANGES MADE IN
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
COMPLY WITH LAWS
The board of county commissioners
at their session this week took up the
matter of the petition of the board of
education of school district No. 30 in
regard to the changing of the bound
aries of this school district so as to
comply with section 30 A of the school
laws for 1915, and after being thor
oughly discussed by the board and on
motion of County Superintendent
Miss Eda Marquardt the following
changes were made in the district:
The north half of southwest quarter
nr.d northwest quarter of southeast
quarter of section 30, town 12, range
0, taken from school district No. 81
and put in school district No. 30. The
northwest quarter of northwest quar
ter, northeast quarter of northwest
c;uarter; southeast quarter of north
west quarter and northeast quarter of
southwest quarter, all in section 28,
town 12. range 0, taken from school
district No. 35 and put in school dis-
ttict No. 3. The northeast quarter
northeast quarter; northwest quarter
northeast quarter; south half north-
east quarter; lot 3, northeast quarter
southeast quarter; lot 5, northeast
quarter southeast quarter; lot C,
northwest quarter southeast quarter;
lot 4, northwest quarter southeast
quarter and south half southeast
quarter, all in section 33, town 12,
range 0, taken from school district
No. 10 and put in school district No.
30. The south half of northeast quar-
ter and all northwest quarter of sec-
tion 5, town 11, range 0, and north
half of the northeast quarter lot 15,
noith half northeast quarter lot 0,
southwest, northeast quarter; lot 4, must be properly digested and no con
southeast northeast quarter; west stipation permitted. Triner's Ameri
half of northwest quarter southeast can Elixir of Bitter Wine will keep
northwest quarter, all in section 0,
town 11, range 9, taken from school
district No. 73 and put in school dis-
trict No. 30.
This matter of the division of the
school district has been thoroughly in-
vestigated by the county superinten-
dent and the board of commissioners,
:nd it was thought that the division
as decided upon by the board was the J
most satisfactory ' that could be I
reached and which would not conflict
too much with the present arrange-land
ment of the school districts.
AUDIENCE QUITE LARGE TO
HEAR DR. SCHREGKENGAST
East evening Dr. I. B. Schrcckcn-
gasfc of the Weselyan university at
incoln was present at the Method :st
church to conduct the mid-week meet
ing. The attendance was quite large
for one of these meetings and the
members present showed great in
terest in the remarks of the speaker.
Dr. Schreckengast is one of the lead
ers in tne educational work of ehe
church in the west and his remarks
were very enlightening to his audit-
ors, giving them an inspiration to
their work in the church and the ad-
ancement of its interests. Dr. For-
sythe, the field secretary of tlu
church, who had expected to be pres-
ent, was detained by illness from com-
ing, but found a most able substitute
in the able representative of the
Methodist college, one of the largest
in the west.

ANSWER TO PRAYER.
Some time ago in the Men's Bible
class of the Methodist church, the
teacher made the following forceful
statement: "Every new discovery is
a revelation of God." This made a
deep impression on the members of
the class. Below will be found two
strong illustrations of this wonderful
statement:
Prcf. S. F. It. Morse.
Professor Morse, the inventor of
the telegraph, said: "Many a time
when I was making my experiments
in my laboratory rooms at the univer
sity I would come to a standstill, not
knowing what to do next. An ob
stacle would present itself in my mind
that seemed to be insurmountable. A
mental fog woultl cloud my mind that
would not clean away. But during
such times I always locked my doors,
knelt down and prayed for light and
help. And light and help invariably
came. So when flattering honors came
to me from Europe and America be-
cause of my invention, I felt that I
did not deserve them but should give
the glory to God. It is true that I

had made a valuable annlication of
electricity, but God meant this for
mankind and only revealed it to me
in answer to prayer and not because
I was superior to other men." Then
no wonder that on the twenty-fourth
day of May, 1814, when he sent the
first telegram over that forty miles
of wire from the rooms o the United
States supreme court at Washington
to Baltimore, the message was: "Se
what God hath wrought." So the sci-
ence of telegraphy was given to the
woHd in answer to nraver.
When the Civil War carried off so
many of our men and boys in death
and battle, while at the same time our
rich American farms produced their
abundant crops, and so few men were
left to gather them that it looked as
though the crops would be lost and
tf, nntion would suffer for bread. But
not so for the people prayed to Him
who taught the world to say: "Give
us thjs day our daily bread," and im-
mediately the McCormick reaper, the
improved mower and the patent hay
rake came rolling from our factories
to take the place of men. On these
new implements of husbandry mount
ed the mothers, wives and daughters
and garnered the crop, for a suffering
people and gave the nation bread. The
nsalmit truly said that "The eves of
the Lord are upon the righteous and
I 1 1 is ears are open unto their cry.1

Another big problem to be faced
after the war will be how to write the
weather forecasts without making
"Spring hurl old General Winter back
along the eat '.re front."
It never was the policy of the
Bryans to recognize the fellows who
labored incessantly for the success of
the democratic party when it came
to appointments for federal office.
That is what is hurting them today.
A
"sniper,'
if you don't know, is
a "backbiter," and backbiter is a
thing who is always talking about
their betters behind their backs, and
faying things they are too cowardly
to say to their faces. Plattsmouth,
therefore, has its share of snipers.
Edwin R. Spencer, recently a Villa
captive, says the bandit is an orator
of lr.ie accomplishments, stirring his
men into battle by sheer force of
eloquence. So many unkind things
have been said of Villa lately that no
one would be surpriseel to hear that
he wears white gloves and keeps
grape juice in the cellar.
