rency. If you lo you are br.-et by tv
groat evil?. One is the temptation to spend
rW.dily. A. man with $100 in currency in
liis pocket is freer to spend than the man
iviili little currenev. lie is more apt to
1
break a ten dollar "bill than he is to draw
a ton dollar check.
TIip other evil is the bait offered to thieves. A man
ivlw k Ln.nvii to rarrv a lari

hiirhwavman. The wealthiest men in the country sel

TRIPLET!" BOYS ARE
THE RESULT OF AN ,
OPERATION
From "Wednesday"? rallv. '
Last evening Dr. E. W. Cook was
called to Murray in consultation with
Dr. J. F. Brendel of. that place in the
case of Mrs. Herman Richter, resid
ing west of Murray, and the patient
was found to be suffering greatly, and
it was deemed necessary to take her
at once to the St. Joseph hospital in
Omaha for an operation in order to
save her life, as the condition of Mrs.
Richter was very critical. As soon as
possible after reaching the hospital a
Caesarian operation was performed,
which seems to have been very suc
cessful, and the three baby boys were
born, while the mother, at last reports,
was dong nicely and everything point
ed to a most successful operation in
every way.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Jour
nal will be found an advertisement for
Miss Ojrla Minford, announcing the
date of the opening of her summer
school in pianoforte. Miss Ogla will
graduate from the State University
in the early part of June, and soon
thereafter will open her school in Mur
ray. She is very desirous of securing
a good class on the opening date, and
those contemplating enrolling will do
well to see Miss Ogla as early as pos
sible. Henry and Chas. Creamer went to
Ashland last Sunday to attend the
funeral of Charley Craig, the husband
of their neice, which was held from

faction with their Murray engage
ments. They will return to their us
ual home headquarters in Union, and
will soon start out for the summer
season under a canvas. Mr. Apple-
gate is an old Cass county boy, and
is sure a great favorite in the home
towns where he has visited.
Frank Grauf and family, residing
east of Murray, motored to Platts
mouth Tuesday in their new car, hav
ing some matters of business to look
after and to spend a few hours with
county seat friends. Frank has been
one of the valued readers of the Jour

rival in Cass county fiftten years ago,
and lately his name has been on our
list of daily readers, and on this trip
to the city, we are thanking him for
the renewal of another year to that
issue of the paper.
The Murray State Bank and The
Murray Hardware and Implement Co.,
have donned a new coat of paint on
their fronts this week that certainly
adds much to the appearance of these
two buildings. A little paint properly
applied is without doubt one of the
greatest beautifyers of the land, as
these two structures will certainly
demonstrate to all people visiting in
Murray. There is still room for more
and now that the ball has been start
ed why not let all join in the proces
sion and get in the paint beautifying
game.
The Murray Hardware and Imple
ment Co. have been very busy for the
past few days setting up a shipment
of gasoline engines received this week

He Had Been In Poor Health for Some
Time, and Was Unable to With
stand Attack of Pneumonia.
Yesterday J afternoon David L.
Amick, for the pasf sixty years a
resident of Cass county, was called to
his final reward after an illness cov
ering a week's time, suffering from
an attack of pneumonia. The death
of Mr. Amick will bring a feeling of
great regret to the many old friends
of the family in this city and vicinity,
where they have long made their
home, and in their hour of sorrow the
widow and son will receive the deep
est sympathy of the entire commun
ity. For the past few years Mr.
Amick had not been in the best of
health as he suffered a breakdown in
his robust health about three years
ago, from which he had never fully
recovered, and during his stay in
Arkansas a little over a year ago
suffered very much from his health,
due to the climatic conditions there,
and in his weakened state of health
was unable to withstand the attack
of pneumonia.
David L. Amick was born April 24,
1856, on a farm in Des Moines county,
Iowa, twelve miles west of Burling
ton, and when but an infant of a few
months was brought to Nebraska by
his parents. George D. Amick and
wife. The family settled on a farm
in Cass county and since the fall of
1850 made their home in this county.
The parents passed away several
years ago and after their death Mr.
Amick continued the management of
their farm, two miles east of old
Eight Mile Grove. In 1S80 Mr. Amick
was united in marriage to Miss Ruth
Hickman, whose parents had been old
friends of the Amick family and came
west with them, locating on the Iowa
side of the Missouri river, where they
made their home on a farm. After
the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Amick re
turned to Cass county and continued
to reside on the farm until a few
years ago, when they moved to Platts
mouth to make their home, and for a
short time Mr. Amick served as chief
of police of the city, resigning to look
after his farming interests. Later
they spent about a year in Arkansas
with their son, Theodore, near Monti
cello, returning to Plattsmouth about
a year and a half ago. and three
months ago came to Plattsmouth,
where Mr. Amick and son had since
operated the Smith garage on Vine
street.
To mourn his loss Mr. Amick leaves
the widow and one son, Theodore
Amick, both of whom reside in this
city; one brother, John P. Amick, of
near Weeping Water; two half
brothers, Judge M. Archer of this city
and Charles Archer of Lincoln.
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at
Eight Mile Grove, and will be under
the auspices of Plattsmouth lodge No
739, Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks. The funeral will leave thi
city at 1 o'clock and the burial wil
be held at the Eight Mile Grove ceme
tery in the family lot.
MRS. ANNA RICHTER
PASSED AWAY LAST
NIGHT AT HOSPITAL
Mrs. Anna Richter of near Murray
who underwent a Caesarean operation
at the St. Joseph hospital in Omaha
Tuesday night, passed away last eve
ning at eleven o'clock, after a brave
fight for life to care for the three
little sons who were born to her and
for 'whom she had laid down her life,
The serious condition of Mrs. Richter
on reaching the hospital early Wed
nesday morning after being brought
by an auto from her home at Mur
ray made the operation necessary at
once, as she was suffering from con
vulsions. This is the first time in
the' history 'of Omaha surgery, where
such an operation was performed that
tripletts were born. The children are
reported as doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances
Mrs. Richter had no time to be pre
pared for the operation on reaching
the hospital, but cheerfully submitted
to the ordeal insisting that she was
ready and willing to withstand it
Dr. C. C. Allison and Dr. A. L. Der-
mmody performed the operation.
Mrs. Richter was twenty-three years
of age and was married at Carrollton,
Mo., to Herman Richter two years
ago, and they have made their home
on the farm west of Murray a greater
part of the time since their marriage.
Her husband and mother, Mrs. Emma
Walker were at her bedside at the
time she passed away.
