LIGHTING RATE
QUESTION IS TO
COME UP SOON
CONTRACT FOR STREET LIGHT
ING AND RATE AGREEMENT"
EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 13
COMPANY TO ASK FOR 'RAISE
Mounting Expenses Have Forced Ne
braska Gas & Electric Co. to
Ask for New Light Rate.
From Frldny's Tallv.
The contract between the city of
Plattsmouth and the Nebraska Gas
Electric company is soon To expire,
as the date of September 13th marks
the close of the present agreement,
ar.d the company and city are faced
with the necessity of a raise in rates
that will average twenty per cent.
The lighting company is prepar
ing ordinances covering the increas
ed costs of the production of elec
tricity and gas. which they will sub
mit to the city council and which
provide for an increase of some 20
per cent in the rates to both the city
and the private consumer, and which
will be at the disposal of the city
government to decide upon
The rate experts employed by the
lighting company have been making
an inventory of the various plants
owned by this company and includ
ing the one in this city and the re
sult of their figures demonstrated
that if the plant is to be operated on
a paying basis, a raise in the rates
is necessary.
In conversation with Manager
James Kuykendall of the lighting
company he states that while the
company has been compelled to make
large outlays for materials and the
necessities such as coal and oil to
operate the light and gas plants they
now face the increase in freight
rates that will add $2 to every ton of
coal used in the plant and which
will make their coal cost for a single
month over $600. Oil that previous
ly cost $2.r.O per car now costs $800
and to these items have been added
the necessity of providing a just and
enuitable wage for the employes of
the company that will give them
wages in conformity with those paid
in other lines of the same work.
In order to meet these expenses
and to furnish the kind of service
to which the people of this city are
entitled, it has become necessary to
Ht-k the city government to permit
the raising of rates to a point where
the plant can be properly operated.
It is the desire cf the lighting
company that all fair minded citi
zens and the patrons of the company
discuss the matter with their coun
cilman and try and arrive at some
agreement that will give a readjust
ing of th rates which will be satis
factory to all parties, but the com
pany feels that the raise of 20 per
cent is the most logical rate that can
be agreed upon and permit them to
realize a just profit on their tervice.
Mr. Kuykendall states that under
the increase in gas rates allowed by
the city council, the plant has lacked
$100 of paying its operating expense
during the past month and the in
creasing prices of all material used
will make the expenses greater each
month that the plant is operated.

HAS CLOSE CALL FROM
STROKE OF LIGHTNING
During Storm Yesterday Afternoon!
Julius Neilson Has Close Call From
1 Being Struck by Lightning.
From Friday's Dally.
The severe electrical disturbance
yesterday afternoon that preceded the
heavy rain storm resulted in the
lightning striking the garage at the
heme of Julius Neilson. and Mr
Neilson himself had a close call from
being a victim of the lightning bolt.
As the storm came up Mr. Neilson
was in the house and recollected that
he had neglected to close up the door
cf the garage and as the storm clouds
were fast approaching he hastened
out to fasten up the building. He
had just completed this work and w-a3
standing on the porch oT the house,
a short distance from the garage,
when a lightning bolt traveling in on
the wires, struck the door of the
garage that had just been closed by
Mr. Neilson. Had he been two min
utes later he would have received the J
full effects of the bolt when it. struck. J
The door frame was somewhat
splintered by the effects of the bolt
and a nail that had been protruding
from the door frame was driven deep
into the wood by. the force of the
bolt.
Mr. Neilson is feelrng very thank
ful for his narrow escape and be
lieves that his luck is still with him.
The building was not greatly dam
aged by the effects of the lightning
and fortunately was not caught on i
fire.

George V. Harshman. well known
resident of this county for a long
period of years, but who has been
living in Kansas for some time, has
decided to embark upon the sea of
matrimony and during his recent vis
it to the eld home was married at
Council Bluffs. In speaking of the
marriage the Nebraska City News
savs:
"George Harshman. aged 71. well
known in this city and Mrs. Cordelia
Carter, 41. of Hutchinson. Kan., were
married in Council Bluffs, Ia.. last
Fridav. The groom is a pioneer res
ident of Cass county, living near

Hutchinson for several years. They
expect to make their home in Kan
sas where the groom owns a large
tract of land. Mr. Harshman is one
of the pioneers of Cass county and
years ago was one of the best wres
tlers in the west. He and family
were all wrestlers and he seemed to
take a delight in such pastime. Hi-i
sons and daughters were taught to
wrestle and take part in other ath
letic exercises. Mr. Harshman and
sons have wrestled here- often and
for a sroodly sized stake, using the
old. old theater building on First
corso. between Sixth and Seventh
street. which was reconstructed by
the Eagles for their home. These
exhibitions were before the time of
"Farmer" Burns and his followers.
The Harshmans had matches in near
ly all of the towns in this part of the
state and Mrs. Harshman in her
younger days was anthlete and was
able to handle any of her sons or her
husband in a bout. This family were
among the first wrestlers that were
developed in this section of the

RAIN PUTS A
KINK IN THE
CELEBRATION
LOUISVILLE GALA LAY EVENTS
HELD BETWEEN INTERMIT
TENT DOWNPOURS.
SGHMADER OUTPOINTS I0WAN
In Eight Round Open Air Boxing Ex
hibition Interesting Baseball
Game in Afternoon.
From Th'irsda's Dally.
Louisville, like Plattsmouth, ap
pears to be in disfavor with the
weather man. when it comes to put
ting on a community celebration, 1
and yesterday the registered trap
shoot, ball game, boxing exhibition,
dance, etc., were all seriously handi
capped by the intermittent visits of
old man J. Pluvious.
Louisville people had anticipated
a large crowd of visitors at their
gala day events and had arranged to
accommodate them in excellent man
ner, but they failed to reckon with
the serious effect rain would have on
the program.
Although the sky was heavily
overcast from dawn, many took a
chance on the elements and by noon
our "neighboring town on the Platte
was fairly well filled with people
from over the county.
One of the events of the afternoon
was a ball game between Louisville
and Springfield, arch enemies for
championship honors. The game was
played between frequent light show
ers, until the last half of the ninth,
when, with the score 4 to 2 in favor
or Springfield, the bases filled with
Louisvillites and two down, a sudden
downpour made further play out of
the question. Andy Graves, of Omaha,
was on the mound for Louisville in
the opening innings, but it wasn't
Andy's kind of a day and the visitors
scored their four runs all off the
veteran Armour pitcher. Later a
young Louisville lad took the rubber
and pitched air-tight ball, while the
Louisville boys annexed their two
scores and came dangerously close to
spilling the beans.
The next big event of the day
was the scheduled eight-round box
ing exhibition between Andy Sch
mader, of Louisville, ex-heavyweight
champion of the navy and Alexan
der, of Iowa. who has twice, met
Lamson. The rain kept hiindreds
.-way who would have driven many
miles to witness .this event, and it
was only through a temporary lull
in the downpour that it was possible
to. hold it in the open air pavillion
at all.
The uncertainty of the weather
made necessary the holding of the
main bout first, and in this Schmader
acquitted himself most credibly, as
his friends felt sure he would. The
Iowan was outpointed in each of the
eight rounds, and although there
was no knockout. Andy floored the
long-armed boy three times, once in
the first round, when he caught him
with a sharp blow on the nose,
breaking the bone. Seeing himself
outpointed. Alexander depended on
clinches to tide him over the eight
rounds, and in this was successful,
although Referee Fitzgerald kept
them fighting in the open consider
able of the time.
Before, the bout Lamson and his
manager stepped upon the platform
and issued a public challenge to the
winner, which means that Schmader
and the Indian will probably be
matched for labor day at 1-ort
Omaha.
Following the main bout, a six
round preliminary between Frank
Schmader and Frank Blotzer was in
order. Although Blotzer didn't take
the count the referee halted the
fight by the middle of the first round
when Schmader was reigning blows
repeatedly upon his opponent.
The Americnn Legion post of this
city sponsored the fight and sent a
number of its members to assist in
the work of ushering, ticket taking, j
etc. The receipts, while .very good
considering the night, will scarcely
osv the promotion expense, leaving
little or nothing for Schmader, his
manager or the Legion. Had the
weather been good, the story might
have been much different.
A number of those from Platts
mouth remained In Louisville over
night, while those who attempted lo
drive home found themselves in for
a long hard siege on the road.
The musicians for the base ball
boys' dance drove in from Omaha
about 10 o'clock, and although the
dance was proceeded with, little if
any more than enough to pay for
the lights was realized.
The boxing exhibition proved sat
isfactory to the majority of the
spectators, although there was some
little "honoring" against the clinch
ing tactics of Alexander. This was
no fault of Schmader's however, as
he would have welcomed more open
fighting than was done. The crowd
was very patient during: a rather
long wait for Alexander to appear on
the platform and while scattering
raindrops were warning them that
more might be expected at any mo
ment: Altogether it was a very good
exhibition and one well worth seeing.
MAKING NEEDED REPAIRS
From Friday' IailF.
The Columbian school in the south
part of the city which lias been in
very poor condition for some time is
being repaired by the hoard of edu
cation and placed in condition so that
the building will be in proper shape
for the opening of school on Septem
ber 7th. Several of the rooms will
have to be replastercd as the plas
tering has fallen or" and been de
faced by the pupils cf the lat few
years. All of the ward buildings are in
need of repairing or in fact being
replaced with new structures that are
adequate for the use of the schools
but owing to the scarcity of funds
the board isu nable to make these
badly needed improvements much as
thev might desire.
RETURNS FRQft! TRIP
TO CHASE COUNTY
W. E. Rosencrans and Party Find
Conditions There of the Bsst and
Crops Bringing Great Results
From Thursday's Dailj.
This morning W. K. Hosenci -an.-
and party returned from a trip of
three days out in the wheat field
Chase county where they were view
ing the great wheat crops of that
locality and the general conversation
of the party was of the wonderful
crops that they had viewed during
tbeir stay in the western portion jf
the state.
For the past few years Mr. Rosen-!
crans has been interested in the lam!
in Chase county and ttie splendid re- j
suits secured by the purchasers f
the land there many of whom lir:
secured their farms through him. Is
very gratifying to this gentleman.
The party occupied their own Pull - s
man out of Omaha and at Imperial
the car was switched on the siding
and there they made their hoadquar- j
ters during their stay, enjoying auto-
mobile trips out over.the great wheat !
fields whose yield this year are mak
ing many or the land owners inde
pendent in the one year's crop. In
one instance a farm in that country
has given a yield of wheat that lias
made $SO.0S per acre and has more
than paid the price cf the land in 1
the year. There are many former
residents of this portion of the state ,
that have purchased land at $G0 per j
acre that are today realizing from
thirty to forty buhels of wheat per j
acre on their farms and the result
will more than pay f ir the price of
the land.
This speaks well f r that portion
of the state and the wonderful crop
is not alone confined to the wheat
crop but the corn through that por
tion of the state is booming and pro
mises a crop almost great as that
of the wheat and which will help
swell the production of that portion
of the state into one of the record
breaking crops of years.
While at Imperial Mr. Rosencrans
met Charle? Shopp who is now hand
ling 1.000 acres of land the greater
part of which is in wlieat atid which,
is showing wonderful crops in both
the wheat and corn. Mrs. Shopp.
who has been in poor health for
some time is reported as showing
but little improvement so Mr. Rosen -
crans lniorms a journal representa
tive. The trip to the west has been a
revelation to the members of the
party who were from eastern Nebras
ka and western Iowa and among
whom were a number from Cass coun
ty and they have all returned more
than pleased with what they have
seen of ihe great country.
PROVISIONS OF LAW
COVERING PETITIONS;
Amendment to Section 2140 Prevei.t.3
Candidates at Primajies From
Running by Petition.
From Friday's Dallv.
The friends of Clarence L. Heal,
who have been circulating petitions
for his nomination for the office of
clerk of the district court by peti
tion, have been meeting with much
success in the securing of signatuics
but the fact of the primary electi-m
law seems to bar the filing of tha
petition or the acceptance of the
nomination by the popular young
man who has been urged by his
friends to accept the nomination.
The 1915 session of the Nebraska
legislature passed an amendment to
section 2140 of the revised statutes
of Nebraska that seems to dispose
of the matter as this portion of the
law says: "Provided no person who
has been a candidate for any office
at a primary shall be a candidate by
petition or certificate of nomination
to the office for which ne was de
feated." This has been very disappointing
to the many friends of Mr. Beal
throughout the county who hava
been very desirous of his making the
race this fall.
Edward Rummell and wife were in
the city today, driving in to attend
to some trading with the merchants
