Yctorday morning Officer Alvin
Jones terminated the activities of
two gentlemen who were busy Sat
urday evening: trying to circulate a
few bogus checks and were able to
plant one of these checks on the
firm of Lorenz Hrothers.
The parties had been noticed by
Ofiicer Jonf-s during the afternoon
and their action aroused his suspi
cions and he kept them under sur
veilance the greater part of the time
they were here.
One of the parties late Saturday
afternoon culled at the store of Philip

Jfii's and placed under arrest and
taken to jail, where their conduct
was looked into and the fact of the
bad chck unearthed. The man Mor
ris was wanted at Red Oak by the
authorities there on a serious charge
and accordingly he was taken there
yesterday afternoon to be handled by
the Iowa authorities. Morris is re
ported to have made this play at
many places from New York to Oma
ha before bf ins; caught up.
Xifrhtenpale was placed in the
custody of Sheriff c. 1). Quinton and
interviewed by the county attorney
and sheriff and both he and Morris
detailed the story of their high fi
nancing exploit that will prove very
costly to them.
The youn? man. Edward Nighten
gale was arraigned this morning be
fore Judge Allen J. Beeson in coun
ty court and to the information
charging him with forgery he enter
ed a plf-a of guilty and was accord
ingly bound over to the district
court. The prisoner is a youth of
apparently about 21 years and does
not have the stamp of a criminal and
s'a?ed that his home is in Omaha.
The offense with which the defen
dant is charted will under the Ne
braska indeterminate sentence law
bring him from one to twenty years
of confinement in the state peniten
tiary at Lincoln.
This afternoon a second check for
$2C 40 and passed by the same two
men at the M. Fanger store was
turned over to Count v Attorney A.
S. Cole.
Officer Jones who made the inves
tigation and arrest in the case is en
titled to a great deal of credit for
his alertness in the matter and the
prompt manner in which he took the
two men in charge.

progressing nicely with the four
children doing very nicely and Mrs.
Lamphear somewhat better, but still
far from over her attack of pneu

and be able to resume their usual
activities.

HAS IT ON THE
METROPOLIS
Amusement Loving Public Find That
Prices Here Are Much Cheaper
Than in Bis Towns.
There has been many advantages
possessed in the past by residents
1 of the larger cities and among these
, has been that of being able to enjoy
fcrms of entertainment months ana
even years before the residents of
the smaller cities and towns were
able to and among these amusements
has ranked the movies, now Ameri
ca's chief pastime both for young
'and old. The fact that the smaller
places were given the poorest pic
tures and service is a matter of only
a few years back and it does not re
qtiire the oldest inhabitant to re
call the ancient comedies and dramas
that had been repeatedly shown in
the larger places until they were fin
ally dumped in the small towns and
this city was no exception in receiv
ing them.
The condition of affairs in the mov
ie business has .however, in the past
hiee years underwent a most re
markable change. Where a few years
ago we took what was handed us,
today the two theaters of the city.
the Parmele and the Moreland. are
offering the latest films that are re
leased bv the producers and the
Plattsmouth people are seeing pic
tures from one to two weeks ahead
of the Omaha audiences and at a dif
ference in price of from ten to fif
teen cents in admission. Within the
last month the leading theaters of
Omaha have been showing films that
were shown here several weeks pre
vious and for these shows from thirty-five
to forty cents was asked for
admission, while in this city the
price is set at twenty and twenty-five
cents for even the largest and most
expensive pictures.
The enterprise of the Plattsmouth
theater managers is to be commended
and the amusement lovers should
h-roughly appreciate the opportun
ity they have of seeing releases the
same month that they are put cn the
market instead cf having to wait sev
eral years as was the case a few years
All of the best pictures come to
this city at one or the other of the
theaters and are given at prices that
?nnot be beat anywhere in the coun
try. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT
LOUISVILLE A FAILURE
The Reichart butcher shop at
Louisville was broken into early
Sunday morning by forcing the back
door, but nothing was taken, the in
truders apparently being in quest of
cash, as they were found to have
opened the cash register and search
ed the shop for a possible hiding
place for the day's receipts.
The night before Night Watchman
Wheeler took into custody a couple
of tough looking characters who were
released at noon the following day,
and told to get out of town. It has
been learned since they were seen
at the De Luxe fishing cottage west
of Louisville after their release and
it is not improbable it was they who
broke into the shop.
Louisville has a very capable night
watchman in C. F. Wheeler, who was
secured some time ago to stand guard
while the eyes of the peaceful in
habitants are closed in sleep.
Mr. Wheeler has been going home
at 5 o'clock mornings, and states he
is confident the attempted robbery
was pulled off after that hour, and
was perpetrated by home talent who
were familiar with his accustomed
time of leaving the street. In the fu
ture he will remain on the job un
til daylight, when some of the towns
early risers will be stirring about,
and can finish the watch.
PERU MAY GET FISH HATCHERY
Peru Pointer: When the game
warden was here last fall he stated
that the lake above town was the
best natural breeding place for bull
heads and croppies that was to be
found in the state. He took seven
car loads of fish out of the lake for
distribution over the state. This did
not remove more than half the avail
able supply, but left the balance to
perish in case we had a severe win
ter, bj reason of the fact that the
shallow lake would freeze to the
bottom. He expressed the wish
therefore, that the Lake, or a portion
of it, could be deepened, and made
into a permanent fish hatchery by
the state, and indicated that he might
ask the legislature to take up the
matter.
As a result of this statement, and
in order that no one locally might
be though to be profiting at the
siace ..uiu& uer" he will have plenty of time to medi
have subscribed an amount sufficient . , . : -
to buy what is needed from the
swamp above town, and present it to
the state for the purpose suggested.
It is not known what action the state
authorities or the legislature 'will
take in the matter, but Peru has the
money and a contract for the land,
if the state desires to carry out the
wishes of the game warden.

NEW PATROLMEN HERE.
from Tuesday's Dally.
This morning J. II. Eppincs and
Virgel Arnold of Murray, the new!
appointed patrolmen on the govern
ment aid highway between this city
and the Oioe county line near I'nion
came in to attend to some matters
relative to their assuming office oi
February 15th when they will take
over the care of the highway. The
commissioners have decided to have
the patrolmen located at Murray in
steail oi at I nion as at present a?
this will give them a greater oppor
tunity of effective work as they wil
live almost midway of the distance
between the ends of their road ant
therefore can give both sections of
the road the needed care.
AFTER OILY TONGUED
STOCK SALESMEN
Otoe County Attorney Will File
Charge For Obtaining; Money
Farmers Bought Heavily.
That a stock promoter working in
Otoe county obtained money through
false pretenses is the basis for a coni-
:dint which is to be filed in the
jountv court in a few days by Coun
ty Attorney Heinke who has opened
a campaign against stock salesmen
of the shiftv sort in behalf of a num-
bfr of investors who have lost heav
ily through "investing" in fake se
urities of various kinds. The com
plaint is in process of preparatior
nd will be filed eithtr today or or
Monday, with a warrant i sued foi
the arrest of the party complained
against.
Pressure is being brought on Mr.
Ileinke to call a grand jury in Otoe
ounty to investigate the sale of cer
ain securities to a coterie of inves
'rs in this county and the rumor
Vat the count j- attorney is liMen
ir.g to the arguments in favor cl

causing the cold chill? to run ur
ir.d down the spines of men whe

Several well known farmers in thL-
county who bought l,t avfiy and IcrI
large sums are said to be willing tc
prosecute the sellers of these so-
called securities and be the "gcats"

ing the publicity which is bound
to come when the transactions get

It is reported that in one part of

From Tuesday's Daily.
Last evening the members of the
various craft organizations of the
local Burlington shops and feder
ated unions held a largely attended
mass meeting at the Eagles hall.
The meeting took up the present
hour questions that are so vital to
the interests of the men employed
on the American railroads and espe
cially to the local unions where the
retrenchment program of the rail
roads has been felt by the members
of the organizations. A representa

cussed the questions that are now
under consideration and a number of
the members of the local unions gave
their expression to the changes that
may be brought about in the adjust

MORRIS CONFESSES.
From Monday s Dally.
This afternoon a message was re
ceived by County Attorney A. G. Cole
from Red Oak, Iowa, from the sher
iff of Montgomery county, announc
ing that the man Morris who was
taken there had confessed to having
forged a number of checks there as
well as in other places over the coun
try. Under the Iowa law the prison
er will receive a straight sentence
of ten years for the crime. As far
as could be learned from different
places Morris is an old timer at the
bad check game and his efforts have
extended over the country from New
York to the west. The Iowa author
ities feel well pleased that the man
was secured by the police of this
city and turned over to them and
tate over his shortcomings.

The recently published volume of

eminent Plattsmouth attorney, has
.ttracted a great deal of attention
Tom the friends of Mr. Gering on
he bench and bar of the state and
.hese commendations of the very able
fforts of Mr. Gering certainly are
vonderful tributes to a well de-
,erved collection of orations. To the
nembers of the legal profession the
urv addresses of Mr. Gering has
nade the greatest impression and
mong the various comments made
n the work are two from members
f the Nebraska supreme court. Chief
lustiee Morrissey and Justice Wil-
iam B. Hose.
In speaking of the volume the
tmf justice. has the following com
ment to make: "Every address and
very speech deserves a place in any
well selected library. But there is
Mie speech that stands out above all
he rest, that is the one you deliv
ered in defense of Agatha Barton.
have read the masterpieces of the
Knglish speaking advocates. Curran,
A'ehster, Seward and Prentice, but
none of these has left to posterity
i speech superior to yours. Feeling
hat this volume ought to be placed
vhere it may be for generations to
ome. be accessible to students of
oratory, I am going to ask you to
end a copy to the Nebraska state
ibrarian."
Justice William B. Rose, one of
he leaders of the Nebraska bench
ays of the work of the oratory: "I
have received your book and read it
with intense interest but not wholly
without emotion, I found real gems of
thought, advocacy, sentiment philoso
phy and literature. Without assuming
to be capable critic I regard your Bar
ton speech as the most brilliant and
perfect. When it is considered in
all of its parts with beauty and pow
er of expression from the stand
point of emotional advocacy in a
criminal court. It is a monument
to human intellect and to devotion
of a lawyer to a client."

From Tuesday's Dally.
This morning Mrs. B. J. Reynolds
sustained a very severe fall while
coming down the south Fifth street
hill from her residence at Pearl and
Fifth street. The sidewalks on the
hill are very slippery and icy and as
Mrs. Reynolds neared the alley in
the rear of the Wescott store her
feet slipped and she fell to the side
walk and it required the services of a
number of those standing near to as
sist her to her home. An examina

February 12th Saturday we honor the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
When Lincoln said, "I have no other ambi

The man who promptly pays his debts is
in a very fair way of gaining the community's

PrATTSMOUTH J&l NEBRASKA
STARTS TO SERVE
HIS PRISON TERM
Edward Nightengale Taken to Lin
coln This Morning; toEnter
the State Penitentiary.
tfrcm Tufsday'i Daily
This morning Sheriff C. I). Quinton
departed for Lincoln, tking with him
Edward Nightengale, the youth who
ye.-terday was sentenced to from one
to twenty years in the state prison
for forging a check. This means
the starting of the punishment of
this young man just finning onto th
threshold of manhood, who. for the
sake of a t-mall sum of money risked
his best 'years of life and lost in
his operations.
In the case of a youth of this age
who is serving his first time in pris
on, the need of a Mate reformatory
is shown, and the recommendation of
Governor McKelvie that such a state
institution be built is certainly cor
rect. The companion of Nightengale,
who is now over in the Montgomery
count, Iowa, jail, is a hard character
if the reports received by the authori
ties are correct, being a criminal of
several years' experience and a past
master at the bogus check game.
Sheriff Quinton has received infor
mation that Morris has been involv
ed in numerous cases similar to the
one here and is well known to the
police of the larger eastern cities,
where he has operated in the past
few years.
It is stated that Morris' father
was a former resident of this city,
where he was employed as a painter
by F. R. Gobelman for some time,
and is well known to a number of
residents here.
MRS. H. W. SMITH
IS SERIOUSLY ILL
Has Been in Semi Conscious Condition
Since Saturday and Case is One
- Hard to Determine.
The many fr lends of Mrs. II. W.
Smith over the city will regret to
learn that the condition of Mr.
Smith continues very severe and her
lapse into semi-consciousness for the
past three days has caused her fam
ily a great deal of apprehension as to
the outcome of the case. The malady
with which Mrs. Smith is suffering
seems baffling and in its symptoms
resembles the sleeping sickness that
has been found in many scattered
cases over the country. Mrs. Smith
was taken sick first while with her
husband at the state firemen's con
vention at York and on last Satur
day she lapsed into a form of stupor
and from which she has so far failed
to rally.
MRS. CHARLES DOVEY ILL.
Mrs. Charles S. Dovey of this city,
who has been at the hospital in Oma
ha for some time past is reported as
doing as well as could possibly be ex
pected under the circumstances. The

lit- fltftrt at Itfrtli anil thfi iln:il)i nf

is reported this afternoon as doing
as well as could be looked for at this
