IN PLATTSMOUTH f
A FORTY YEARS AGO. -J
TWO SUICIDES IN TWO DAYS
Singular Pertinacity in Shifting From
Known Evils to Those of the
Unknown.
On Saturday morninp; the town was
startled by the report that an un-l
known man committed suicide at the
Platte Valley House during the night.
The Herald reported repaired to the
.-pot and found only too truly that a
) (Jerrnan, about 48 year old, had ar
rived there the night before from the
Omaha train. He enquired for a Ger
man boarding house and had been di
rected to the Platte Valley. He retired
at once to his room, after giving the
clerk about 00 in money, for safe
keeping. In the morning the clerk
went up to get an extra basin from
hi.- room, and found the man dead.
By his side were found four bottles of
strychnine, two empty and two about
one-half full, and a 4-ounce phial of
chloroform, nearly one-third used.
He had taken off his boots, hung
his watch on a nail, evidently took the
poison, prepared the handkerchief with
chloroform, then blew the candle out
and stretched him.-elf outside the bed
clothes, fixed the handkerchief over
his chin, crossed his hands on his
breast and apparently died with
scarcely a struggle.
The sheriff and Dr. Richmond were
at once notified, and later, Dr. Living
ston and others. After a brief ex
amination by the surgeons a jury was
empanelled by Sheriff Hyers, acting
coroner, as follows: W. D. Jones, H.
W. Sage, Alex Schliegel, Jas. W.
Woodson, P. P. Gass, J. W. Johnson.
The following witnesses were subpoe
naed and testified to the facts briefly,
as follows:
E. P. Waterhouse (clerk) sworn.
Told when the man came, about going
to room, etc., gave him room 12; man
came down about 10:30 and wanted to
see clerk or landlord, wanted some
4. water, took water up and he handed
me his pocket book and told me to
take care of it; asked how much there
was, he untied it and counted it
about ?28 in bills and some silver, $30
in all; turned it over to Mr. Bons.
Next morning wanted the basin and
Atteimtoomi
Auto yyeir
with present conditions at the various factories exist
ing and the scarcity of freight cars in which to trans
fer autos, it is a cold fact that a great many buyers will
be disappointed at the inability of agents to secure cars
with which to fill orders already sold. We anticipated
this condition early and bought a supply of cars of both
"Studebaker" and "Maxwell" autos and can make im
mediate delivery to you. Think this matter over care
fully and call on us or write and we will be pleased to
give you a demonstration of either make.
There is a raise in price of both makes which we
can avoid if you will act quickly. Subject to stock on

went up, found man dead and note on
table.
(The note was in German, and says,
his name was Herman Rheinfeldt,
born in Hanover, been in America five
year?, often sick, and had been out of
work three months, had not much
money and would rather die than
live.)
Irving Hill, P. H. Thornhill and Wm.
Splain, who had adjoining rooms, all
swore to about the same state of facts.
P. B. Murphy told that he was called
to room 12 about 7:30, saw man dead,
etc.
One More.
Scarcely had the hearse passed
from our sight with the dead body of
Rheinhardt when we were again called
on to listen to the despairing cry and
view the dead body of another poor
unfortunate. The cry sounded up
Sixth street, by the Herald's house,
'Come, doctor, quick, a man has shot
himself." The voice was Charley War
ren's and we learned that the cry but
heralded the ugly truth, and the story
of yesterday had been repeated with
slight variations.
Some three months ago a quiet,
youngish man came to J. G. Cham
bers' harness shop for employment
and got it. He had worked there
steadily since, disturbed no one, was
not of the drinking habit and minded
his own business. He always seemed
rather sullen and morose, it is true,
but no one knew any harm of him.
His name was J. K. Weir, and, last
Sunday morning, June 1st, about 7
o'clock, he shot himself twice with a
revolver and died in half an hour. No
particular cause was assigned except
that he was "tired of living." Mr.
Chambers says he seldom held any
continued conversation except about
the civil war and on religion. Pic
tures of Tom Paine and Bob Ingersol
were found in his trunk", and it is said
he was avowedly an infidel on re
ligious matters. He had been a mem
ber of the 102d regiment of Illinois
Volunteer infantry during the war.
Saturday afternoon he seemed low
spirited and felt bad. Chambers asked
him what was the matter and if any
thing he had done affected him. Weir
answered "no," and added some
gloomy remark.
When told of Rheinhardt's suicide
he said "he (R.) was better off dead
than alive, and that he wouldn't mind
going to hell himself if he was sure of
having the company of two or three
ahead of him."
A jury was duly empanelled and the
L

following persons gave their evidence
accordingly as they saw deceased at
or about the time of his death: Mrs.
Chas Warren, Chas. Warren, Dr.
Schliddnecht, Dr. Livingston, Richard
Newell, Daniel Robinson, J. C. Thomp
son, E. K. Parmele, J. G. Chambers,
Henry Herold, Byron Miller, P. B.
Murphy.
Mrs. Warren said she got up fif
teen minutes to seven Sunday morn
ing; heart groaning, went out of house,
heard groaning again and looked in
shop and saw Weir lying on the floor.
Told Charley (her husband) to go and
see what was the matter. Charley
went in and found him lying down
with blood on him. Charley went out
for a doctor and heard a shot. I
heard him say "I am tired of living."
When I last saw him his brains were
running out. He was a quiet young
man as far as I know.
Chas. Warren testified: Came in
and asked him what was the matter.
Said he "didn't want to live." I said
Hold on, old boy, I'll get a doctor."
As I left the door I heard the second
shot. Came back when I heard this
shot and found he was shot in the
head. Saw no weapon first time;
must have shot himself -in side the
first time. Went in back door.
Weir came here from Leaven
worth, Kansas. Chambers says he
had the blues all day Saturday. He
paid him about $11 Saturday evening.
Had said he didn't believe in Hell or
Heaven. The revblver belonged to
Chambers. The man was a Mason.
It is singular that both men de
stroyed all the letter and memoranda
in their possession, evidently to avoid
being recognized any further or to
prevent word being sent to friends.
There is no doubt but that a morbid
sympathy and infatuation induced
Weir to commit suicide just at this
particular time, right after the ex
ample of Reinfeldt.
We hope sincerely that this closes
the epidemic of self-murder in Platts
mouth, as we wish to record no more
such tradgedies.
LADIES' AUXILIARY HOLD
PLEASANT MEETING
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Pres
byterian church held their regular
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
church parlors, and were entertained
in a delightful and industrious man-,
ner by the hostesses of the occasion,
Mesdames Nellie P. Agnew, Elizabeth
Travis and J. W. Johnson. A short
business session was held, at which
time various business matters were
transacted. After the business ses
sion the ladies proceeded to clean ths
auditorium and parlors of the church,
which furnished plenty of amusement
for the ladies and considerable mer
riment along with the dusting. At
just the right time the hostesses in
vited the ladies to partake of a tempt
ing luncheon, which was most highly
appreciated after ,such "strenuousity."
A little further cleaning and dusting
and then the ladies dispersed, well
pleased with the result of their labor,
and declaring Mesdames Agnew,
Travis and Johnson to be most. excel
lent hostesses.
JUDGE DOUGLASS A GRANDPA.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Judge J. E. Douglass, the city at
torney, is wearing a very pleasant
smile this morning as the result of a
message received last evening from
Bloomington, Ind., and which an
nounced that he was for the second
time a proud and happy grandfather.
A fine little daughter was born yes
terday at the home of Mr., and Mrs.
E. O. Steihm in that city, and the
message states that both the mother
and little one are doing nicely, and
the good news certainly has been
pleasing to the Judge. Mrs. Douglass
is at Bloomington with her daughter,
Mrs. Steihm, and was able to greet
the new granddaughter with a hearty
welcome.
WINDOW GIVES WARNING.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The, front' windows of the Bud
weiser saloon in this city gives a
warning of the conditions that will
prevail throughout Nebraska one
week from today. In the window a
number of empty bottles once filled
with the foaming Budwtiser are
placed with a number of dry bones
and the lover of the sparkling and
foaming drinks can see a warning
of the days to come when Nebraska
will be "bone dry" for the first time
in the history of the state.

BITTER FIGHT
SNQ ALONG
WOTAN L
New German Position East of Arras
Is Scene of Fiere. Fighting
Today.
What is apparently the bitterest
fighting of the present Anglo-French
offensive is raging today along the
Wotan line, the hastily organized po
sition east of Arras to which the Ger
mans retired when the nmthern ends
of the Hindenl.urg line was turned
by General Haig. The Germans are
putting forth a supreme effort to hold
this vital portion -of their defenses,
the crumbling of which would expose
Douai and Cambria and bring into
prospect another great retreat.
The British have driven two wedges
into the German position?, forming
sharp Salients in the region of the
Scarpe river and north of the 15a-paume-Cambrai
read. The head of the
first salient has been thrust within
four miles of Vitry, the nio-1 im
portant point on the Wotan lire, but i
the tenacity and .rvr with vhi:-h the
Germans ar? fighting leaves the issre
for a time in doubt.
The little news that trickles acro -the
German frontier indicates thai tin
authorities have ' gained the upper
hand in the stnke s'tuation by the
drastic method of niilita: :zi?,g the mu
nition industry and forcing the strike
leaders into fighting lank-;.
The only news from A -j stria in son."
days is to the effect that the pan
German leaders have emerged vic
tors in the struggle for control of the
government.
Gain on Cambrai Pond.
London, April 2 i. The Ihi'i.-h
gained ground on a wide front la t
night south of the Bapaume-Cambri-.i
road. They reached the St. Qu-.-r.tin
canal at one point. Further north' the
villages of Beaucamp and Villei-.--Plouich
were captured.
The positions gained on the French
front yesterday, says the cCIei-l
statement today, were maintained an 1

TUTIES SAYS KEi.YO'1
Yashinrto:t. D. C, April 24. The
conscription bill was the center of at
tention today and veil' be for several
days. Iowa members are taking an
active hand, and Representative Hull,
who is on the house- military com
mittee, will speak tomorrow in favor
of trying the volunteer system. Mr.
Hull said last ni.eht the volunteer plan
in the house bill was praininu ground.
Rep escntative Good will insht strong
ly on pay of enlisted men bcim?
increased.
Senator Kenyon will seek to have
the aire limit in the senate bill raised
to 35 or 40. He said, i :o, that if men
wore to be conscripted bir incomes
should be conscuipied io finance the
war. Another phase of the army
question Senator Kenyon is studying
i elates to officers.
Senator Kenyon is considering a
plan under which appointments will
be made to West Poiiit and officers
chosen from the enlisted personnel in
stead of by the present system of
favoritism. His view is that if the
country is to have a really democratic
army of men in the ranks they must
have a real chance to rise on merit to
the top, and democracy must apply
from private to jreneral.
Representative Hull has letters from
Iowa City and elsewhere askinir
whether provision will be made for
raying: men who enter the officers' re
serve and ro to training: camps. He
predicts there will be and favors some
provision to pay men who g:o to such
camps, do prescribed work, but fail to
pass examinations.

CONDITION OF THE ROADS
VERY GOOD CONSIDERING RAINS
From Tuesday's aily.
A number of those who have made-
trips out in the country in the last
few days are very much pleased over
the condition of the roads, which, de
spite the rain and wet weather of last
week, have been kept up in line shape
and but very few muddy places where
there is any annoyance to travel are
to be fcund. The extensive use of the
automobiles is largely responsible for
the good roads, as the travel with the
autos has a tendency to pack down the
roadway and not to cut it up into
tuts as used to be the case with the
waron and hungry wheels traveling
over the roads. The road supervisors
in the different districts are also be
coming more proficient in handling:
the road work and applying: scientific
methods that aid in making: pood roads
throughout the county.
Charles Parker cf Villisca, la., who
has just tecovered from an operation
in one of the Omaha hospitals, was a
visitor for a short time with his
brother, Joe Parker, in this city, de
parting: last evening for his home.
