COUNTY RECORDS SHOWS AGE.
From Tuesday's Paily.
John Jqne3 of Omaha did net want
to go to the army service, anJ there
fore did not register, saying that he
was past thirty at the time. When
hewas apprehended he cited the au
thorities to a date fixed for his biith
by the conviction of his father for
manslaughter, which he said was a
part of the record of this county in
the office of the clerk of the District
court. This necessitated the exam
ination of the records here, whiih
showed that the crime was committed
in the fall of 18S6, the conviction
made in the spring of 18S7. wh:ch
would make the young man only thir
ty years of age at time of the regis
tration and therefore held in the
draft.

AT REST'IN OAK HILL CEMETERY
From Tuesday's Dally.
-Yesterday afternoon occurred the
funeral over the last mortal re
mains of one of the best citizens
Plattsmouth ever had a lady who
made her home here for more than
half a century and whose interests
were equally those of the city an'l
the community, co-ordinated with
those of her fellow-creatures with
whom she labored and by whom she
was loved of Mrs. Agnes Ruffner,
whose death occurred a few days
ago in an Omaha hospital and was
written at length in the Journal on
Saturday.
The funeral oration over the re
mains of this good and estimable
woman was said by Rev. H. G.
McCluskey, who . spoke tenderly of
her many noble virtues and of the
acts of kindness which had charac
terized her life. The choir of the
First Presbyterian church, where the
funeral was held, sank very beauti
fully. The members "of this choir
are Mrs. E. H. Wescott, Miss Ma-
thilda Vallery, L. O. Miner and Geo.
L. Farley.
The W. C. T. U., of which Mrs.
Ruffner has been a member for a
good many j-ears', always laboring
for the uplifting of humanity and
buoyed up at times by the promise
of life eternal, attended the funeral
in a body and were reserved seats
near the front of the church. The
pall bearers were Dr. C. A. Marshall,
D. C. Morgan. Carl G. Fricke. C. A.
Rawls. Wm. Hunter and W. C. Tip
pins. The body was bourne to the
cemetery where the mortal remains
were laid to rest, there to await "the
sounding of the last trumpet of the
Angel Gabriel. ,
GOPHER ERADICA
TION CAMPAIGN
From Tuesday's Daily.
Level down all gopher mounds.
A road scraper or harrow does good
work. Some are leveling the mounds
by hand.
Poisoning: The poisoning may
be supplemented by traps, auto gases
any other method; but everyone
should use the poison. Potatoes, ap
ples, raisins, carrots, parsnips, sweet
potatoes or corn may be used. If
poison is used, use 10 parts of
trychnine to one part of saccharine.
An easy method of preparing bait
is to take litleotatoes,- or npplts,
etc., which have been cut into o;e
inch cubes, and cut them through
about two-thirds of the way. Use
the little blade so that poison will !
stick to it when the knife blade is
dipped into the poison. Squeeze the
bait so that the slit will gap open.
Place the knife blade in the cut
and squeeze the bait together, and
spread throughout the entire bait.
If raisins are used, put the poion
on one raisin and squeeze another
raisin around it.
With an endgate rod or sharpened
stick go Into the field poking into
the ground near the mounds, but not
in the mounds. When the rod gres
in suddenly, it indicates that a run
way has been located. Twist the
rod about until, the hole made is
large enough to drop in the poison.
Cover the hole completely with dirt
after inserting the poison. Dc this
in two places for every ten mounds.
The County Agent will keep a
white map of Cass County hanging in
hi3 office and as he gets reports from
the different farmers over the coun
ty where poison. has been put out for
the gophers he will place red pins
on the farms on this map from
which the reports have come. Later
in the year as reports come to the
office of poison having put out a sec
ond time on the farm a blue pin will
be used beside the red one. The map
is white, the pins used are red and

I will test your soil for acid if
you will send a sample to the office or
