LOUISE KIS- SLING PASSED AWAY MONDAY AFTERNOON Yesterday, at her home in this city where for the past thirty-one years she has spent many years of happiness, Mrs. Louis Kissling passed away after an illness ot some dura tion, suffering from a complication of sickness which all the care and atten tion of her family and " attending physicians were unable to check and the patient bore with patience and Christian fortitude her suffering, awaiting the voice of the Master that would bring her release from suffer ing and rest from the cares and trou bles which mark this world. Mrs. Kissling was held in the highest es teem by those who knew her best and her life was devcted to the care and rearing of her family and to the home where she will be so greatly missed from the family circle. Mrs. Kissling was born in Germany December 15. 1856, and there spent her years of girlhood amid the scenes of the old home. In 1885 she came to America to make her future home in the United States, and located at lattsmouth, where in March, 1885, she was united in marriage, and dur ing these years these two estimable people have spent a perfect and happy wedded life. Six children are left with the bereaved husband to mourn the death of this good woman, Mrs. Louise Granger, Alliance; Louis Kiss ling, jr., Fred Kissling, Mrs. Carrie Bonahaver, and Misses Minnie and Nettie Kissling, all of this city. During her life time Mrs. Kissling was a uevotea member oi the uerman Evangelical church and with her hus band was among those that assisted in the work of making possible the erection of the beautiful St. Paul's church in this city, where they have been constant attendants and faithful members. Of a quiet and unassuming nature, the departed lady has won many friends by her life devoted to the home and those she loved best, and in the years to come the memory of the mother will live with the family and friends as an example of a sturdy Christian faith and a useful life. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the St. Paul's church. Now in Omaha Hospital. Albert Knee, a former Plattsmouth boy, was in the city yesterday for a short visit with his old friends for the first time in twenty-eight years. Mr. Knee is now located in Detroit and was called west by the illness of his mother, Mrs. A. II. Knee, who is at the Methodist hospital in Omaha tak ing treatment, and he reports that his mother is doing nicely and it is hoped that she will soon be on the highway to recovery. Mr. Knee notes the many changes made here since he was here last and the general spirit of im provement. Read the want ads ia the Journal. DEATH OF WIL LIAM TIGHE NEAR BAN CROFT, NEBRASKA The Deceased Was a Former Citizen of Cass County and Was Sheriff For Four Years. William Tighe, one of the pioneer residents of the county and for a great many years one of the promi nent democratic leaders of this sec tion of the state, passed away Sunday at his home near Bancroft, Nebraska Mr. Tighe, although well advanced in years, was apparently in the best of health up to the time of his death and his death came very suddenly. On Sunday Mr. Tigho had walked to the home of his son, Thomas Tighe, and on arriving there had complained of being tired. He sat down to rest and expired before medical aid could reach him. William Tighe was born in Ontario, Canada, March 31, 1840, and resided there until he reached twenty-eight years of age and then removed to Cass county, Nebraska, where he re sided for a great many years until his removal to Bancroft in 1899. Mr, Tighe while residing in this county made his home on a farm a few miles east of Manley, where the Tighe fam ily has been very prominent for the last fifty years in the life of the com munity and has been numbered among the leading families of the county and active in the public life of this coun ty to a great extent. In 1889 Mr. Tighe was elected to the office of sher iff of Cass county and served in that capacity for two years with great credit to himself and the citizens of the county. In 1899 Mr. Tighe pur chased a large farm southeast of Bancroft and has since made his home there with his family and has taken' an active part in the public affairs of that section. Besides his widow, three sons, John O., Thomas J. and Edward r., and two daughters, Mrs. S. Mose ey of Allamoosa, Colo., and Mrs. E. Peterson of Lyons, survive him. John Tighe of Manley and Joseph Tighe of lavelock, two brothers, are also left to mourn the death of Mr. Tighe. The funeral of Mr. Tighe was held this morning at 10 o'clock at the Catholic church at Bancroft, the mass being celebrated by Rev. Father O'Donohue, rector of the church. STEAL WHEELS OFF OF A CORN STALK CUTTER From Wednesdays Dally. Yesterday afternoon A. C. Tulene, who is engaged in farming in the west part of the city had occasion to visit a tract of land where he had been en gaged a few days before in cutting stalks and discovered that some party had visited the place and removed the wheels from the stalk cutter which he had left setting in the field when he quit work. He at once started in to investigate the matter and recalled that while driving home he had passed team and wagon and in the box of the wagon was a number of wheels which answered the description of those which had formerly adorned his stalk cutter. Mr. Tulene came to town and getting in touch with Sheriff Quinton and Chief Barclay, these gen tlemen proceeded to start in to dis cover where, the missing wheels had been taken, with the result that they were discovered in a pile of junk, hav ing been sold by the party taking them. The matter was then placed in the hands of the county attorney and it is thought that the gentleman who purloined the wheels will be given a chance to explain the matter to the authorities. While the value of the wheels was not great they were of a type which is not greatly used now and it would have been hard for the owner of the stalk cutter to replace them and he feels very fortunate in getting them back. Mr. and Mrs. Augugst C. Pautsch and Miss Lydia Pautsch, daughter of Ernest Pautsch, of the vicinity of Manley, were visitors in this city to day, attending to various business matters and visiting county seat friends. They were pleasant callers at this office. John A. Maguire in Town. Former Congressman John A Ma guire of Lincoln, was. in the city to day visiting with his political friends snd looking over the situation, prior to the primaries. Mr. Maguire is a candidate for re-nomination to con gress on the democratic ticket and is preparing to make a thorough canvass of the district to land the nomination. While here Mr. Maguire called at the Journal and states that he is standing strictly on his own record made dur ing the three terms he represented the first district at Washington and is a staunch supporter of the policies of President Wilson, from start to finish. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MARVIN EDWARD TYLER YESTERDAY The funeral of the late Marvin Ed ward Tyler was held yesterday after noon from the home of his parents on West Rock street and was attended by a large number of the old friends and neighbors who gathered to pay their tribute of respect to the highly esteemed gentleman who had been called away while yet in the first flush of manhood. The services at the home were in charge of Rev. C. E. PerLee of the Christian church, who spoke words of comfort to the sorrow ing relatives and friends while a choir from that church gave a number of the old well loved hymns. At the grave the members of Evergreen comp, Woodmen of the World, held their ritual services as the body of their well beloved brother was con signed to his last earthly resting place. Mr. Tyler, to those who knew him best, was held in the highest es teem, and his death was universally regretted both in this city ana-"iif Omaha, where he had resided for the past few years, and especially was he held in the highest personal regard by the members of the W. O. W., of which he was a member, belonging to the Omaha camp of that order and was insured in that order for $2,000. The body of the young man was laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery in the family lot there. EXCITING BASKET BALL GAMES PLAYED LAST EVENING The last game in the series of games in the city basket ball league last evening drew out a large and en thusiastic crowd to root for their fa vorites in the fray. In the opening game there was considerable delay due to the fact that Arthur White, who had played on the Methodist team on last Tuesday was placed on the lineup of the Christian church and this was objected to by the Cosmopol itans and a conference of the man agers of the different teams decided that he was ineligible but the follow ers of the Christians refused to take him out and the game proceeded de spite the ruling of the officials. The contest was one full of more than the sual roughness and several of the players were bunged up, particularly Neal of the Cosmos, who received a rather bad bruise on the head as the result of having his head banged on the floor by one of the Christians and also received a severe gash over the left eye when he was thrown into the iron pipes by one of his opponents. The star of the contest was Noble, who secured the greater part of the scores for the Cosmos, and was ably assisted by Beal and Edwards in this ine. For the Christians, Howe was the main feature and was able to carry off the bacon for the religious representatives by a score of 23 to 15. This game with that which follows leaves the Cosmopolitans and the Presbyterians tied for first place and the Methodists and Christians for the cellar as they have only won one game apiece while the leaders each have two victories to their credit. In the second game the Presbyte rians were able to get away with the grapes by the score of 30 to 15 in a spirited contest which was a reminder of the days of the Roman gladiators For the. Presbyterians Frank Marshall nnd Larson were the stars of the game. THOMAS J, PENCE DIES AT CAPITAL Was Secretary of Democratic Com mittee and a Cloe Friend of the President. Washingtson, March 28. Thomas J. Pence, secretary of the democratic committee, who had been ill for sev eral months as a result of pneumonia, died at his home here early Monday morning. Mr. Pence probably had an exten sive acquaintance among democratic politicians throughout the country as any man who ever occupied an official position with the national committee He was one cf the "original Wilson men" and after the last election was offered several important government poses. He declined them all, however and became assistant to the chairman of the national committee in charge of the permanent headquarters here. At the meeting of the national com mittee here last December Mr. Pence was chosen its secretary. Mr. Pence was a friend of President Wilson and was the daily companion cf the president's secretary, J. P. Tumulty, and cf several prominent administration senators. For many years he was Washington correspon dent of the Raleigh, N. C, News and Observer, which is owned by Secre tary Daniels of the navy department. Because of Mr. Pence's protracted illner-s, W. II. Hollister, secretary of Senator Stone, recently was appointed assistant secretary of the national committee and was designated by Mr. Pence as acting secretary.

The most pleasing feature of the evening was when the happy throng had all assembled at the table which was lighted only by the golden flicker ing lights of the thirteen candles that guarded the precious birthday cake. It was thus that the toast was given for the hostess in elegant and inspir ing language that hell in eager sus pense until closed. When the luncheon was over the candles burned low throwing dancing shadows that could only be surpassed by the merry chatter and laughter that filled the room.

"DRESS UP" SEASON FULL OF IMPORTANCE Everybody Prepare to Dres Up in a New Suit in Spring Time When Styles Itein Supreme. From Wednesday's Dailr. The spirit of th springtime with its keen sensing of ihe rejuvenation of life and the taking on of all iiatiiu with its beautiful garb of newness and freshness brings to us the full impor tance of the "dress up" movement which in the last two years has grown to the extent of becoming a nation wide institution. There is nothing that adds to the feeling of confidence and self-reliance in man or woman more than does the feeling of being dressed in a manner that command- the respect of others. The garments need not be of rich fabric or costly but if neat and attractive affords man an opportunity that otherwise would be closed to him. The dre.ss up and clean up time is with us and from now until the 8th of April through out the United States there is a de mand for more attention being paid to personal appearance as well as to the appearance of property, all of which adds very much to the welfare of a community, however small. There is nothing in the world that is a bet ter advertisement of a town than a neat, well dressed citizen, and a com munity made up of these is one of the greatest factors in determining the impression of a town upon a stranger. The movement here has been taken up by the clothing stores and they are offering every inducement to the man to get busy and prepare himself for the spring time with a freshness that will be of benefit to him as well as to his city. Get in the procession and dress up and clean up.
