YOUNG LAD ACCIDENTALLY
SWALLOWS A FENCE STAPLE
Fnm Thursday' ra!lv.
Last evening Charles Oliver, the
little son of Mr. and Mrs. Gould
Smith, met with a very peculiar ac
cident and one that has thoroughly
alarmed his parents and other mem
bers of the family.
The little fellow was playing at
home with the young brother of
Mrs. Smith. Jimmie York, and in
some manner the Smith lad secured
a staple from the pocket of his
playmate and child-like placed it in
his mouth and a few seconds later
the mother was shocked to learn that
he had swallowed the staple.
The parents were greatly alarm
ed and all possible efforts were raade
to have the child cough up the
staple but without success. This
morning the lad was taken to the
office of Dr. J. S. Livingston where
an X-ray was made of the body of
the boy and the staple located in
the right side and it is thought no
serious results will follow. The lit
tle boy has not suffered a great deal
from the accident but the parents
have been greatly worried over the
outcome of the case.
IS MAKING FURTHER IM
PROVEMENTS IN STORE
George Con is. proprietor of the
Palace shining parlor has just had
installed in his place of business one
of the latest and finest cigar cases
that has ever been seen in this city,
and which is the last word in the
way of displaying cigars for sale.
The case is composed almost whol
ly of plate glass and marble, the
base being of the finest marble, while
the upper portion is all of glass. The
case is arranged with special devices
for keeping moist the cigars and
having them always fresh for the
trade. The only wood used in the
case is in the base on which the
cigars are kept for display. Under
neath the display portion of the case
is ample storage room for cigars,
which will aid in caring for the
large stock.
This makes a very fine addition to
the store and with the fine shining
stand just recently secured makes the
place up to date in every way.

EFFICIENT OFFICIAL
OF PLATTSMOUTH
Henry A. Schneider, on Retiring
from Office Leaves Splendid
Record as Mayor.
With the closing of the session of
the city council on Monday night
last the city lost the services of two
of the best known men who have
served the city in the last few years,
in the retirement of Henry A. Sch
neider as mayor and H. M. Soennich
sen as city treasurer.
With the case of Mr. Soennichsen.
his duties have been largely routine
and have covered a long period of
years and repeatedly he has been
elected to the office without any
personal effort and due wholly to
the great respect held for him by
the mass of the people of the com
munity and in this the confidence of
the citizens was well based.
In the case of Mayor Schneider, as
has been with anyone who has occu
pied the office or chief executive of
the city, he has been called upon to
perform many acts that have not al
ways pleased all of the people, but
a real efficient official must of ne
cessity face these conditions with
the courage of his convictions or he
is not deserving of the confidence of
the people.
The policy shown during the three
years that Mr. Schneider served the
city as its mayor was that of giving
the citv the best that was nossible
and to keep up with the march for-)
ward toward making a bigger and
better city and every act of his ad
ministration wa9 made with the de
sire of advancing the city's best in
terests in every way possible.
Of a firm and aggressive disposi
tion. Mr. Schneider proved a splen
did public officfal and one that even
political foes recognize as having
served the people of Plattsmouth al
ways in ihe best possible manner,
and the record that he leaves behind
is one that he can feel well pleased
with and which should serve as a
guide to those who follow after him
in the conduct of city affairs.

WILL REMODEL GAME
, William Baird and wife have re
moved from their home at Seventh
and Main streets to the residence
orooertv lust across the alley, where
they will reside temporarily while
the plans for the remodeling ot tneir
home are being -carried out.
It is the intention of Mr. Baird to
have his residence property made
strictly modern in every way and a
structure that will be a credit to
that portion of the city. The work
will require some time to complete,
but when finished it will give the
Baird family a home that they can
well feel proud of and which will be
provided with all the comforts of a
strictly up-to-date home.
DIDN'T SUCCEED
The foreman at the Olsen quarry
discovered Monday that some one had
attempted to enter the quarry's pow
der magazine, as a broken key was
found in the lock. When the key
failed the thief undertook to dig his
way under the magazine, but must
have been frightened away before
accomplishing his task.
Mr. Olsen says how foolish a per
son can be to try to dig in or break
into a car load of dynamite, as the
least jar might cause an explosion
that would even obliterate the car
track made on the ground some dis
tance from the magazine.
For the above reason, Mr. Ol6en
ioroias trespassing on the quarry
premises without permission. Weep

MAKES MORE WORK
ON TAX RETURNS
New Law Provides for Turning In
Actual Valuation of Property
Instead of One-Fifth.
The office of County Clerk George
U. Savles has received notice from
State Tax Commissioner W. II. Os
borne of the fact that under the pro
visions of house roll 127 and senate
file 65, in making the tax returns
for the year 1921. the county as
sessors and clerks will be compelled
to make the returns on the actual
valuation of the property assessed,
instead of on the one-fifth valuation
as has been the law heretofore.
While this will not result in in
creasing the taxes of the people of
the state, it means that the assessors
and clerks will have considerable
more work in computing the returns
to be made to the state board at
Lincoln. t
In the case of telephone companies,
railroads and other corporations that
have filed their returns on the one
fifth valuation basis, the assessors
are ordered to multiply the amount
five times to arrive at the actual
value of such properties.
WILL CEASE BUSINESS
Herman Spies, who has for a long
period of years been engaged in the
cigar manufacturing business in this
city, expects to close his factory the
first of the month and retire from
the active work of manufacturing
cigars and will close up his store
that he has been operating on lower
Main street. Mr. Spies informs us
that his plans for the future are not
fully determined, but he is expect
ing to look over some location in
the northwest or along the Pacific
coast, as he feels that the climate in
that portion of the country would be
much more beneficial to his health.
ENJ0Y FINE MEETING
The ladies of the St. Mary's Guild
were very pleasantly entertained on
Tuesday afternoon at the home of

with a discussion of the plans for
the banquet that the ladies will
serve on Friday. May 6th. on the oc
casion of the Junior-Senior recep
tion. During the afternoon dainty
refreshments were served by the hos

the happy event.
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Martin Lohnes. residing a few
miles southeast of Cedar Creek, who
was taken to the Immanuel hospital
in Omaha a few days ago, is reported
as showing but little change in the
past few hours. Mr. Lohnes was
taken to Omaha by auto by John F.
Wolff and Dr. E. H. Worthman. of
Louisville, and while en route the ap
pendix of the suffering man burst,
and as a result his condition was
critical when he reached the Im
manuel hospital. He was operated
on but the result was doubtful at
the time and the progress of the
patient has been very slow but it is
thought to be showing some improve
ment. H. A. Larson of Cedar Creel:,
a close friend, was at the hospital
yesterday to see Mr. Lohnes, and re
ports him some better.

PUBLIC EMPLOYES

Compensation Commissioner Rules

that has the compensation insurance '
of the city of Plattsmouth. notified
the city council that the law had
boon changed so that it did not ap
j !y to city employes, but this would
seem, from the decision of the labor
commissioner to be wrong. In speak
ing of the matter, the State Journal
has the following:
"If the members of the legislature
thought they had amended S. F. 2 so
that employe of cities. villages,
school districts or of the state gov
eminent do not come under the com
pensation law, they have another
guess coming. According to Com
pensation Commissioner Frank A.
Kennedy all employes except rail
road men and farm employes come
under the new law. The senate
struck out of S. F. 2 one section re
lating to employes of cities and vil
li gos and some members of that body
thought they had changed the bill
so that employes of the public are
excluded from the compensation law.
The state compensation commission
er interprets the law differently. He
says :
" 'Amending section IOC by strik
ing out the sentence 'and not for the
purpose of gain or prifit by the em
ployer.' will put back under the law
all state, county, municipal, city and
town and school employes. This will
cover approximately fcrty thousand
employes now outside of the law.

without limit as long as the injured
worker needs ix. The cost of same,
however, is to conform to the medical
fee schedule adopted by the commis
sioner, but must not exceed the regu
lar charge made for such service in
similar cases.
"'Section 112 is amended to read
'disability resulting from permanent
injury of the following classes the
compensation shall be in addition to
the amount paid for temporary dis

in addition to the compensation paid
'while an employe is disabled, he or

n.ent to hear disputed caes as soon

" 'Section 131 prohibits any settle
ment being made which is not in
conformity with the compensation
rchedule. This will stop the prac-;
tice of sharp bargaining with injur-
ed workers by insurance adjustors.
This is the supreme court decision in
the Ferry vs. Huffman case written
into the law. and its .value in the
future to injured workers cannot be
estimated in dollars
" 'These are all important amend-
ments to the law, based on the ex-
perience of the department during
