Indiana, on Novembe rl4. 1831, and died at Hastings, Neb., on June 4, -1920. aged 88 years. 6 months and 20 days. Her father. John R. Colburn was a Methodist minister and her mother a was wo man well fitted to preside over his home. So from earliest childhood Caroline was trained in a Christian home. At the age of ten years she remov ed with her father's family to Savan nah. Mo., in Andrew county. Here she grew to womanhood amid the surroundings of a new country. Her father was a scholarly man above the average of his time and although educational advantages were few he taught his children himself and laid the foundation for the acquirement of much valuable information.

Burlington train No. 5 from Chi cago passing through this city at 8 o'clock a. m., stops here on a nav erage of five out of seven mornings, but it is the uncertainty of the mat ters that prevents anyone having business to transact in the metropo lis from waiting for it and taking a chance on it's stopping. The train has no scheduled stop here, but lets down passengers from points east of Pacific Junction and 'so important is Plattsmouth among the traveling public that nearly ev !ery morning one or more step off of No. 5 here. ' The commercial club plans to get the railroad authorities to include ! Plattsmouth among the scheduled stops of this deluxe train from the east and in view of the large number of mornings it is compelled to stop ( to let off passengers, it should prove an easy undertaking.

Weyrich Completes a Phono graph That is Perfect Piece of De signing of Italian. Renaissance From Tuesday's Dally. For over the past year Emil J. Weyrich the druggist, has been en gaged in working on a phonograph cabinet that he. had conceived in his mind that would equal both in de sign and workmanship the very ex pensive models-that are en the mar ket today. The finished result of his work is on the floor of the store to day and those who have had the pleasure of. looking over the piece of work have been loud in their praises of the splendid results secured. In seeking a type of period fur niture Mr. Weyrich decided on that of the Italian renaissance as being the most perfect of the artistic de velopment that was brought about in the changing conditions in Eu rope in the fifteenth century and which brought to the front the won derful artistic and beautiful types that replaced the previous heavy and ponderous gothic styles. It was sixteen months ago that the idea of the construction of this case was first born and Mr. Weyrich at orice prepared to carry out his in spiration but to this work he was on ly able to devote a very small por tion of his odd time. To secure the material was one of the big prob lems of the workman and Mr. Wey rich has been constantly on the search for the best qualities of wal nut timber that might be used in this case that was to enclose the me chanical soul of the phonograph. Where evar any amount of this-old and seasoned -walnut could be found Mr. Weyrich w-as prompt in securing it and has as a result a perfeetly matched and designed case. The panelings of this beautiful instru ment are of the rarest mahogany and ths carvings and designing ar tistic in the extreme and perfect types of the designs that were origi nated by the Italian artists in the renaissance. This period in tiie field of architecture is one that has left its impression upon the European world and its influence has given, to i the world the exquisite creations in the light delicate types that replaced the previous heavier types and even in .the designs of the Elizabetfcian and the early Stuart period in Eng land this lighter type has left its , impress. The Italian type has been j the greatest in demand among col j lectors and commands the highest figures. Every piece of work in the cabin et with the exception of the labra tory model of the New Edison has been carried out by Mr. Weyrich and the result is one that the owner can well feel proud, of. v SHIPS CATTLE WEST Fro.Ti Monday's Dally.

GREENWOOD WINNER OF SUNDAY'S GAME Red Sox of This City Receive Shut Out at Hands of the Fast Team of Greenwcoa. 6 to 0 r roni Monday s Imllv The lied Sox l.a.-e baJJ team of this city journeyed out to Green wood yesterday morning to take on the .'jrinidahle base hall organizat.ua of that city and on their arrival ll?y found that the Greenwood team had made preparations for a real game as Meyers of the Western Leagi.o was to do the tossing while Lyck was the backstop for the team. Greenwood has one of the best teams in this portion of the state aside from any battery they might secure and the showing made by the Jocahi was very 1 pleasing. For the Red Pox dinners did the slak work and pitched a clean and fast game and held his opponents to scattering hits, although in third in ning through a time'y hit and sever al fumbles the visitors registered four of their scores at home. William Patrick 0 Donnell proved the spectacular stat of the game when he grabbed ot'il two of the long high flies of the Salt Creekers from the .fence and ai&v;J in checking the score. The Red Sox several times had runners on the bases but none were in danger of getting over the plate. For the Greenwood team Jardine and Armstrong were the fielding stars while Lyck was one of the chief operatives with the big stick. The score of 6 to 0 which was the final result of the struggle was a much better game than had been an ticipated when the formable array of base ball talent was looked over by the Sax before starting in, and shows that the Sox are capable of playing mighty good ball when it is necessarv.
