THE WEATHER IS HOT
From Tuesday's Pally.
Following a period of cool, rainv
weather, the heat of today, though
not so high in point of mercurial
registration seems terribly intens.
For several days now it has not rain
ed more than an occasional sprinkle
and the roads are getting back in
shape following a long period of al
most impassable condition. Tourists
are again going through Plattsmouth
daily, which indicates a general
r.lackening of the rainy season over
the country.

RECEIVES SHOT
THRU WINDSHIELD
From Monday's Pmly.
Sunday at about the noon hour
as Will HalTke was turning the
corner near the I-'ourth ward (Wint
orstein hill) school, a shot from a
gun fired from he does not know
where, broke his windshield glass
scattering the fragments over V.ix
car. cutting scars in the steering
wheel and over the iloor of the ci;r.
Will stopped to examine and look
ed in every direction, but he could
not discern anyone in sight at any
place. The shot must have come
from some distance, for if the one
: firing it had been any place near
by, they could have been seen. Mr.
Haffke thinks it just an accidental
shot for he had not cause for be
lieving that any one should have in
tended to have shot with intention
of doing any harm to him.

is our state. Its present constitution was written in 1875.
but during the forty-four years that have elapsed the state
has developed to a degree that demands a new and revised
constitution.
C All statutes, all laws are based upon the constitution
Hence the necessity of having a broad document. That will
be possible only if broad men sit in the convention; men who
are actuated by patriotic intelligence rather than
class prejudice.
g Farmers and bankers, doctors and lawyers, preachers and
teachers, carpenters and merchants, newspapermen and capi
talistsintelligent men from every walk of life should be
represented in the convention.
G Out from the hate, the strife and the strain of the war
period a NEW NEBRASKA is emerging. If you want to
