MONEY MADE
ON WHAT WAS
THOUGHT WASTE
From Tuesday's Dailv
The Olson Photo company
of this
citv have realized
a
very neat sum
in the
last few month.-: from what
was heretofore, a sheer waste and loss
t the company ar.d this ha:; been the
v.ate from the unexposed portions of
ko.-Iak films. This portion of the film
i:a more or less of th" nitrate of -liver
on it and there has in the pat
1 ecn no attempt to -ave this ar.d Mr.
Obon and his a so'-iates decided that
it was time to check this waste. The
i-itrate was changed into a sediment
by chemical procc.-s and this has been
j-aved by the Olson company with
the result that smee December they
have realized S'o; from the sale of
the waste to the smelter. This shows
the kind of methods that is rapidly'
tinning the Ol.-on company into one
of the must successful institutions of
its Kin'l m trie Lniteu tares and
with the great amount of film devel
(ping carried on by this firm it i.
eay to see that the amount realize"
from the sale of the waste from the
delevopir.g is constantly growing.
The Olson company have their
I ant operating along the latest am
mo.-t improved business methods aru
the care and attention given the busi
ness has brought them to the front.
BOY TRAMPS TAKEN
IN BY AUTHORITIES
From Tuesday's Dailv.
The two boys that were brought in
by the sheriff yesterday seem to have
boon stringing the authorities with
their wild tale of being lured from
their home. Sheriff Quinton called up
the authorities at Auburn and learned
a few facts in legard to the one boy,
Giibeit Jegnon, who claimed his hon
at Ai:burn. It would seem that this
loy has he-!! away from home for
t.-e p.t-t year, having ran away to
Colorado and has not been in Auburn
rincc that time. The family have
moved away from Auburn and the
i-henff will attempt to locate them,
and inform them of the fact of the
lad being here. It is thought that
the second boy, Elmer Terry of Oma
ha, has been induced by Jegnon to
ltin away from his home in the me
t opohs and embark on a tramping
t-ur. The sheriff will hold the boys
liitil it is decided what is best to
d'j with them.

BACK AND HEAD LIGHTS LIT
From Tuesday's Pally,
A number of the residents in the
north part of the city have been mak
ing complaint of the fact that auto
mobiles running along Vine street
and North Sixth street are frequently
driven without tail or front lights
lit up after dark and in a few cases
it has been noted that there were no
lights lit at all on the machines. This
is a clear violation of the law and au
tomobile owners should take it upon
themselves to see that the law in this
respect is complied with and the
lights kept lit as a matter of their
own safety as it is one of the easiest
ways in the world to have a very
serious accident through the lack of
lights. Such carelessness as this is re
sponsible for a great many of the
automobile accidents that occur every
day all over the country and a little
foresight in time may save a great
deal of grief and trouble for the
drivers of the automobiles.
BROTHER INJURED
IN ACCIDENT
. NEAR GRETNA
From Tuesday's Datrr.
Warran Tulene and wife and Alvin
Jones and wife of this city were cal
led to Omaha last evening by a mes
sage announcing that Albert Rouse, a
brother of Mrs. Jones and Mrs.
Tuk-ne. had been seriously injured in
an accident near Gretna and was be
ing brought to Omaha for treatment
at the St. Joseph hospital. On receipt
of the message the two fam.hes at
once motored to Omaha. Mr. Ro.ise
was found to be in very serious con
dition wuh his right arm nearly torn
from the-iockct and some fifteen long
and serious cuts on the legs and body
and it was feared internal injuries.
The accident was caused by the ex
plosion of a boiler on a threshing out
fit which was wr rking on the farm of
H. C. Rifhal and resulted in the
death of P. II. Meiia. a neighbor, who
was assisting in the threshing as v.vH
as seiir.'i-dy injuiir.g two oihers ;
side Mr. Rouse.
The boiler blow up without va:n

by the fierce of the explosi i and
when picked up was bleeding and in
very serious condition. He was hur
ried to Omaha where the injuries
were treated ar.d an examination
made as to internal injuries out none
could be found. At the hospital today
Mr. Rouse had regained consciou
ness and was able to recognize the
members of the family but the inten
dents are very doubtful as to his re-
coverv.

BRITTAiN AND WH. DEWOLF

cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. John C.

Lincoln, Neb., July 81, 1-Jl'J.
To the Editor of the Journal:
By permission of the use of space
in your valuable paper we wih'to ic-
ply to a letter just received from one
of your most valued and influential
citizens, a close friend of mine for
many years, as we walked together
heart and hand in church, Sunday
school and politics and all the social
and moral walks of life during our
sojourn of eighteen years as a humble
citizen of Plattsmouth. Holding our
name in secret unless the editor di
vulges it to avoid trouble, the letter
referred to is one in reply to a letter
written to my friend last December,
(just beef ore Christinas). We re
quested in our letter that my fritgul
read the letter publically before the
Sunday school to remind them that, we
held them near and dear in memory
of our social and religious labors to
gether. My friend does not say
whether he did that or not. but says
that the letter has remained on his
desk ever since it was received re
minding him of his duties, but daily
tasks were so pressing that it lias
taken seven months to get a nick of
time in which to answer. We wish to
note that we have written to other
Plattsmouth friends who have not
been on time to answer, some of
them three and four years since an
