PROPERLY EXPRESSES IT Li hiu daily rounds recently, a Journal representative heard a gen tleman fay "It's a nice mild winter, we're having this summer." And, really, stopping to think of it, doesn't that express weather condition to a nicety? We haven't heard it done better for some time. &Zy Sk si' WalS-Surface Satisfaction 'X S SlV SjtV S-ry v-lV j ?lV DRESSING the walls is one of the arts of today. More money is facing put into it by the average family than, say for pictures or other wall deco mtion. From the mere covering of an unsightly wall surface, it "has grown to the dignity of a decorative art. Can there be any surprise, therefore, in the fact that the public is evincing a Crcaler interest in better wall decoration? And having helped to lift wall deco ration to its proper place in home beau iification, wc feel this concerns the in terest of every home owner who feels justly satisfied with only the best in home decoration. .

The condition of the high water in the Missouri river has apparently reached the flood stage at this point, and the mighty river has spread its turbulent waters over the bottom land east of the Hurlington station and is the highest that it has been for a number of years. The Missouri, following the rise of the smaller streams throughout Wyoming and Nebraska all of which empty into the IJig Muddy, has been swollen to flood proportions and yes terday was rising at the rate of an inch an hour for the entire day. For the tirst time since the high ivater of 1914 the waters of the river has covered the larger portion of the bottom land east of the Tur lington right-of-way and threaten to make that tract of land one vast sheet of water. The flood has now reached to the residence property of A. G. Bach just east of the Burling ton station and it is necessary to look t"he aid of a row boat, which can be the air of a row boat, which can be propelled clear up to the -doors of the house. The buildings on the land of Chief of Police Manspeaker are all surrounded by water and the stream pouring through there is quite deep. The eastern portion of the base ball park has been visited by the flood water as it has backed up from the south and covered the low lands in that direction. The flood has served to back up the sew er outlet near Kocky Point and this water has spread out in the direc tion of the road to th ferry. In Omaha the flood has done quite a large amount of damage to resi dence property in the north part of the city and families have for the past two days been engaged ia mov ing their stock and household effects to higher, ground where they will be safe from the floe .!. On the east sido of the river from Folsom south to a point opposite this city the Burlington is .maintaining close watch to check any attempt of the river to break through the pro tecting rip rap and all day esterday a force of workmen were engaged in strengthening the protections against the ravages of the stream. This afternoon a dispatch to the Burlington from Forecaster Welsh at Omaha, states that the Missouri river was falling at Sioux City and approaching a standstill at Omaha and in twenty-four hours should show signs of falling at that place and also at Plattsmouth. ' The Burlington railroad has just issued announcement of changes in their passenger train schedules, ef fective on May 30th, and which in clude a number of changes that will improve the service to this city. No. 1, the. fast west; bound pas senger train will leave Chicago un der the new schedule at r:o0 p. in.. land arrive in Omaha via Council Bluffs at 7 a. m. No. 10 frojn the west will leave Denver at fl a. m., and arrive at Omaha at 1:4" a. in., leaving Omaha at 2 a. m.. and arriving in Platts mouth at 2:40 a. in. The placing of No. f on the schedule for travel via Plattsmouth, give3 this city a direct train from Chicago. This train will leave Chi cago at G:I0 p. in. and arrive at Plattsmouth at S:00 a. in., and Om aha at 8:40 a. ni. Under the new schedule No. tj, the early morning train from the west, will leave Omaha at 7:00 a. m., in stead of 7:05, as now. No. 4 which now leaves Omaha at 9:15, will also leave earlier under the new schedule, at 9:0.r am! will reach this city at 9:45 a. m.

NETS BOYS FIVE SCULPS The last of the week Guy and W. A. Ileil. two of the young farmers residing west of the city made a suc cessful coyote raid that resulted in securing the old coyote as well as four young ones. The coyotes were shot at. the farm of Uudolph Ileil, whore the den was located in an old straw stack. For several days the old coyote had been noticed around the farm and a few mornings ago was discov ered in the hog lot at the farm but when an attempt was made to se cure the animal it made a getaway and on the way carried oil a nice fat chicken. A number of the chickens on the farm have suffered since by reason of the raids of the animal. Attempts to locate the den of the coyote failed until Friday when Guy and his brother, W. A. began to stir up the straw stacks to see what they could unearth and came to one that had a hole in it which they pro ceeded to investigate. The hole w.u apparently partially filled with water but a few pokes with a pole brought. out the old Coyote. The animal was Riled with fight and put up a strug- le before it was possible to shoot it. The young ones were then shot and the scalps brought in to the office of the county clerk.
