wisdom saw fit to deprive her of thie
object of her love.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick was one of those
whom ill health claimed as a victim
and for about 30 pears she was more
or less an invalid. Many sources of
relief were sought in vain. It seems
that at the last she found her own
home with her devoted husband the
best place to meet her affliction and
to await whatever good or ill might
be in store for her in the way of
health.
The great solace of her days of
weakness and pain was here religious

the church in Alvo in 1S90 she was
ever a most devoted and consistent
member. She was a Christian in all
her relationships in the community,

finding expression in the kindly acts
bestowed upon others.

The acuteness of the coal shortage
in Omaha and this city has caused
the situation here as to light and
power to become very serious indeed
and it is only a question of a very
short time until the local plant will
be forced to curtail or cease their
service to the city unless radical
changes occur in the coal situation
and the question of relief in that di
rection for some time at least is
very doubtful.
Manager Kuykendall of the Ne
braska Gas and Electric company has
been laboring hard to keep up the
best possible service for the Platts-
' mouth patrons of his company and in
hopes of being able to supply them
in tbe face of the coal shortage has
devised the plan of rnstallinp an oil
burning system at the local plant
that would serve to keep up the light
and power service here. The coal
supply on hand here is only available
for two or three days and the closing
of the service from the Omaha com
pany may occur at any time as the
situation in that city is very serious.

Obituary.
George Ronald Parsell was born
near Alvo March 25. 1907; died
No vein her 2t. 1919. aged 12 years,
S months and 1 day.
All of his short life was spent in
this community. In most respects
his life was as that of the average
normal boy in the community, till
two years ago when he submitted to
a serious operation from which, it
seems, he never really recovered.
Whatever of pain or inconvenience
he may have suffere'd. however, was
kept from those who loved him. for
there was no bint of the trouble
which took him away till just a day
or two before the event.
George was in the seventh grade
at the school, a member of the band
and a member of a class of bovs of
his own age in the Sunday school
About four years ago he was bap
tized going forward to that step of
his own accord and with an evi
dently intelligent conception of what
he was doing.
He was growing up with a beau
tifully clean mind and entire free
dom from some of the habits to which
boys of his age are falling into. He
was of a lovable nature. He saw-
only that which was good in his
playmates, and tried to put the best
construction upon that .which others
did which might have been subject
to criticism.
Wo think the words of Christ at
the tomb of Lazerus are true in this
case today,. "He is not dead, but
sleepeth."
I cannot say, I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand
He has wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since he lingers
there.
And you oh, you who the wildest
yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return
Think of him faring on. as dear
In the love of There as the love of
Here;
Think of him still the same, I say;
He is not dead he is just away.
James Whitcomb Riley.
Those left to mourn his loss are
his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E.
Parsell, bis brother, Ray Parsell, and
sister, Mrs. Karl Dreamer and their
families and many friends. The fun

aunt. Especially do we desire to Plattsmouth patrons Mr. Kuykendall
has figured out the changes that will
be necessary for the irstallinc of the
oil burners in the plant here which
will necessitate the expenditure of at
least $1,000 by the company in mak
ing the change.
The change and added cost of pro
duct ion w ill make necessary an in
crease of 10 per cent in the rates for
electricity to the public and as it is
necessary for the company to have
the permission of the city council
for this increase the matter has been
placed before Mayor Schneider and
the members of the council to pass
upon and grant the necessary per
mission to the company to advance
rates and install the needed machin
cry.
The company has at present quite
a large amount of oil on hand and
can secure sufficient amounts to car
ry on the operation of the plant and
this seems the only solution of the
problem that has become one of the
greatest that confronts the city and
its people.
A large number of the business
houses and industries of the city are
dependent upon electric power for
operating their plants not to mention
the numerous consumers of current
in their homes.
The failure of the light and power
service would mean a great deal of
hardship to the city and to a number
of the industries it would mean an
enforced closing for an indefinite
period of time. The large users of
the electric power are very desirous
of keeping the service up as long as
possible and the propsition of the
manager of the light company is the
only logical handling of a very seri
ous situation for the period of the
emergency occasioned by the coal
strike almost all of the consumers of
the electric current would b? willing
to assist the company by paying the
small amount or increase that would
give them light and power.
