was of a most serious nature and the

COOL ON STRAWS
From Monday's Dally.
The .--'.raw hat season was officially:
opened yesterday, but there was little j
desire on the part of the inhabitants j
to grab themselves one of the light ;
and hVe.y summer headgears and
hasten out in public as the weather'
conditions were far from ideal for'
this line of dress. The coldness of
Saturday proved a dampner on those
who had their straw hats in hiding,
and only one of the dainty panamas
was to be seen on the street and the
earer soon sought the warmth of
a stove and exchanged the hat for a
more seasonable appearing skypiece.
However the weather man gives
hopes to the lovers of the straw bon
nets with promies of warmer weath
er soon.
PLEASANT FAMILY GATHERING.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
York in this city was the scene of
a most delightful family gathering
Saturday evening and yesterday when
a number of the relatives from a
distance were present to share the
pleasures of the day with the worthv
host and his estimable wife. The
time was .spent in visiting and was
an event that will long be delight
fully remembered. Those in atten
dance were Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Hull
and Mrs. Floy DeRoss of Sioux City;
Jasper York and family, of Bethany;
Mrs. William Gravitt and son. John,
of Omaha, and D. C. York and familv

NEBRASKA CITY
GETS CLEANED UP
Public Welfare Investor Visits Otoe
County City and Stirs Up Condi
tions to Considerable Extent
Our neighboring city, Nebraska
City, has had a rather severe shak
ing up in the past few days as the
result of the visit there of a public
welfare investigator and several of
the rough spots in Hie eit conditions
were proded out into the open by
the investigator and the machinery
of the law started i:i to clean up
the aforesaid conditions. In speaking
of the matter the Nebraska City
P-ess of Sunday has the following:
A quiet, unassuming but determin
ed ycung woman. Mis.-; M. K. Taylor,
came to Nebraska City yesterday
morning from Lincoln. She explain
ed to local health authorities that
she was connected with the Depart
ment of Public Welfare. Bureau of
Health, and that she would begin
an investigation of certain condi
tions which had been reported to her
as needing attention.
Enlisting the services of Chief of
Police Gunn. Miss Taylor started out
with a vengeance and within a rea
sonably short time had en. nigh in
formation to warrant the filing of
several complaints by County Attor
ney Heinke. The complaints were
filed, warrants issued, arrests mad?
and last night the ccurt hou-e was
well filled with men and women.
One cf the most important com
plaints filed was one against Dr. M.
A. Carriker. charging him with fail
ure to report a venereal disease, the
patient being a woman residing in
Nebraska City. He appeared in
court, pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs. Judge Biscliof told
him thai his next appearance would
mean the imposition of the limit.
$100. It was the second time with
in a week jthat the physician had
been haled fhto court, the first time
representing a $15 tine for failure
to report a birth.
Later in the afternoon three oth
er complaints were filed by the coun
ty attoreny upon information given
by Miss Taylor. The f rst. one charg
ing adultery. was filed against
Charles Clark, a divorced man. and
Goldie Clouse. who is said to have
had three tries at matrimony. They
pleaded not guilty and were placed
under bond of $400 each.: Failure
to give the bond last night resulted
in detention by the sheriff,
is to be had at 10 o'clock
Hearing
Tuesday
morning.
Another complaint was filed
against J. E. McFarland and Anna
Hughes, charging violation of the
social law. The Hushes woman is
the mother of Goldie Clouse. The
defendants pleaded not guilty and
were placed under bonds of $30o
each with hearing to be had oil May
17. at 2 o'clock.
The thirteen-year-cld daughter of
Mrs. Hughes, who is said to be a di
vorced woman. Leota Hughes is also
being detained by Sheriff Fischer as
a dependent and neglected child.
The county attorney will fight to
have her taken from her mother,
who, he alleges, is not a lit person
to have her in custody. The girl is
large for her age and appears to be
much older than the -eeord shows.
The Hughes woman and her daugh
ters were placed in a room in the
court house last night. It was said
they expected to arrange for bail.
The man defendants were locked up.
The raid on the Hughes place, on
South Fifth street, was made under
the personal direction of Miss Taylor
who had been informed that there
was a condition which needed clean
ing up.
"It is but the beginning of a cru
sade against vice in Nebraska City,"
Count' Attorney Heinke said yester
day. "It is just a starter. There are
other cases similar to this and we
will clean them up if it takes al:
summer. Girls and women who
have been engaged in nefarious prac
tices and the human vultures who
have been hanging around them will
either be sent to jail or run out of
the community. The visit of Miss
Taylor was very much appreciated
because she came armed with the
sort of authority that has a mighty
good effect."
DOINGS LN DISTRICT COURT
The case of W. Robert Good vs.
the Missouri Pacific railroad which
was filed in the district court here
asking damage for the wreck of the
truck of the plaintiff on the cross
ing near Wyoming, has, on motion
of the defendant company, been

Lincoln for trial.

Robert McCleery was heard yester
day by Judge Begley and the evi
dence in the case taken. The court

plaintiff who was awarded the cus
tody of the minor children as well
as the restoration of her maiden
name. Ettie Potts.

residents of the city, who is making
her home here with her son. George
B. Mann and family, is feeling quite
poorlv the last few days due to the
infirmities of hen advanced years, and J
