Fifty-One Years Ago

months later from Pacific Junction to

C. E. Perkins, at that time vice
president of the Burlington & Mis
souri River Railroad company, run
ning from Burlington west, had
recommended the construction of the
B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska, at least .
as far as the capital of the slate at
Lincoln, fifty-five miles, with an ex
tension to Kearney to be further
considered later on to make connec
tion at that point with the Union
Pacific railroad, vhich iiad connect
ed in May. 1861'. with the Southern
Pacific at Promontory Point, west of
Salt Lake.
'The capital of the state of Xe-
braska had been transferred from
Omaha to Lincoln in 18CS and the
general opinion r.f the early settlers
in all the towns. St. Joseph to Oma
ha, inclusive, was that agricultural
development could not be expected
west of the Missouri river.
"Fortunately, owing to Mr. Per
kins' experiences in the development
of Iowa from Burlington beyond the
Des Moines river, which up to 18C"
was considered the western boundary
for settlers and farm development
and to the unusual foresight of J.
M. Forbes and hi.- friends in Massa
chusetts, in following Mr. Perkins'
recommendation, the grading in Sep
tember. ljvC9. had been started from
Plattsmouth to Lincoln.
"At this time there was no rail-!
road in Nebraska south of the Platte'
river. I saw the first rails brought
across the river and the first two
engines purchased from the Michi
gan Central road bearing no num
bers in accordance with the custom
of that day. but named the "Ameri
can Eagle' and the "Hurricane."
"The bridge having been completed
at Burlington. Iowa, in 1SC9, the
steamer "President" was released and
came by river to Plattsmouth for
handling all the transfer work across
the river up to the time of the con
struction of the bridge at Platts
mouth in 1SS0. i

FUNERAL OF OLD RESIDENT.
MRS. PETER MUMM,
JR., PASSES AWAY
Dies at Methodist Hospital in Omaha
After Weeks of the Host In
tense Suffering and Pain
From Thursday's Dally.
This morning at the Methodist
hospital in Omaha, where she has
been for the past seven weeks, Mrs.
Peter Mumm. Jr., passed to her final
reward, death coming to "her relief
at fi:30 after weeks of the most in
tense suffering and pain.
Mrs. Mumm was taken sick some
seven weeks ago and her case has
been one that has been impossible to
give her relief from and has baffled
the efforts of the most skilled spec
ialists of Omaha, "who have been
in constant attendance at her bed
side. Several operations were per
formed in the hope of giving her
some relief from the intense suffer
ing but were unavailing and for the
past two weeks her condition has
been such as to give no hopes of
her recovery and the coming of the
death messenger brought to her rest
from the long period of suffering
and pain.
The deceased lady was born in
Plattsmouth February 23. 1S74. and
has made her home here for the
greater part of her lifetime. Her
parents. Mr. and Mrs. George Goos
were among the curly residents of
the county and resided on the farm
a few miles south of the city until
their death several years ago.
Minnie Goos was united in mar
riage in this city in 1S94 to Peter
-Mumm. Jr., and the fnmilr have
since that time made their heme 011
the farm near this city, where the
family of four children born to this
union, were reared to manhood and
womanhood. To mourn the death
of Mrs. JMumm there remain the hus
band and four children. George. Clar
ence and Carl, and Miss Clara Mumm.
One sister. Mrs. James Marasek. of
Grant, Nebraska, is also left to mourn
the death of this good woman.
The family have not as yet com
pleted the arrangements for the fun
eral services and. will await the ar
rival of the body, which will be
brought from Omaha this afternoon
on the 4:30 Burlington train.
Mrs. Mumm was a lady well loved
ind esteemed by a large circle of
warm friends throughout this por
tion of the county and her friends
feel deeply the loss that has come to
them in her death and their sym
pathy goes out to the husband and
children in their hour of deep sorrow.

REVISION OF
STATE REE
NUE ASKED
SE2TAT0R ANDERSON HAS PLAN
OF TAXING THE INTANGIBLE
HOLDINGS IN NEBRASKA
Senator ('. 15. Anderson, of Lan
caster county has introduced a bill
in the senpte which he intends to
cover new provisions of the state con
ititution which now permits claesi
f cation of so-called intangible prop
erty and th1 levying of a 4 mill tax
up;:i such property, with the excep
tion of state and other bonds issued
in .eiiraska. winch shall be taxed
one mill on the actual valuation. His
bill also provides for taxing fran
chises and establishes the office of a
st::te tax commissioner, an office cre
jated by the new constitution. He
proposes to have the state tax com
missioner serve also as .secretary of
the department of finance under the
ooiic bill. He does not attempt to
cover the question of inheritance tax
in this bill.

RECEIVES WORD OF
PRAISEFOR WORK
Artistic Cabinet Designed and Made
by E. J. Weyrich of This City Com
mended by Edison Company.
Emil J. Weyrich of this city, of the
firm of Weyrich & Hadraba. has re
ceived a letter from the general man
ager of the phonograph industry of
Thomas A. Edison company, Mr. Wil
liam Maxwell, who is also the vice
president of the company and who
takes occasion to give a few words ot
praise for the work of Mr. Weyrich
in the construction of the fine Italian
Renaissance cabinet which he Just re
cently completed.
This cabinet which is used to house
one of the labratory model Edisor
phonographs was designed by Mr.
Weyrich and represents bis handwork
throughout and was a very beautiful
specimen of the finest Italian renais
sance type when it was completed af
ter sixteen months of labor. Those
who saw the cabinet when it was on
exhibition in the Etore remarked on
its beauty and the exqusite examples
of hand carving and inlay wood work
that entered into the decorative sec
tions of the cabinet, and the words
of praise that have been given it are
certainly deserved.
When Arthur Collins, the singer,
was here on a tone test for the Edi
son company he saw the instrument
which had been arranged by Mr.
Weyrich and was at once struck with
its great beauty and its perfect type
of the finest renaissance period furni
ture, which is very jiopuLax pvex. Llie
world. He secured a photograph of
home offices of the Erison Phono
graph company with the result that
it has received the well deserved rec
ognition at the hands of one of the
leading men in the organization.
Mr. Maxwell states that it is expect
ed to have the photograph of the
cabinet made into a cut and run in
one of the forthcoming issues of the
official Edibon publication.

From Thursday's Dally.
Last night the pxxstoffice at Mynard

and nothing taken from the store as
far as could be learned.

Good Horn for Plattsmouth and
Gees County Friends!
There is every indication that 1921 will pee un
usual prosperity in this community. As a matter of
fact, our years of prosperity have been those when
loanable funds, labor and raw materials were abundant,
and our times cf adversity are invariably marked by
the absence of one or more of these essentials.
All three can be had in the new year if every one
deposits his funds regularly to aid in the restoration
cf liquid capital. At this bank you can secure Certifi
cates of Deposit for idle funds which pay at a 4 rate
of interest when your money is left six or twelve months.
What better place to have one's spare funds than
