Austria and his son. Arch
duke Albrecht estimated to be
worth more than 1200,000.000
wer taken over by an American
syndicate, which includes S. H. Sa

jey. T. J. Felder and othe Ameri
can business men. Samuel Unter
meyer. Sew York lawyer, represent
ed the syndicate, and Archduke Al
brecht took part in behalf of himself,
his father, his wife, Isabel, and Ms
six sister.
The transaction concerns the vast
land .ind industrial holdings of the
Hapsbiirsss. distributed thruout Aus
tria.. Czecho-Slovakia, Poland. Ru
mania md Italy. They include the
great ft?el works and mines in Tes
chen. partly in Ozecho-Slovakia and
partly in Poland.
This :s regarded as important by
the American syndicate, because the
properties were not part of the pos
sessions of the Austrian crown, but
came to Archduke Frederick from
other sources.
A large part of the properties were
purchased and developments from
private me:in were increased during
the 150 years by investments and
return-; from new enterprises. Arch
duke Frederick wm excluded from
all his properties located in coun
tries formerly composing the Aus-tro-Hungariitn
monarchy. Seme oth
ers were claimed as confiscated.

ties h.M iU origin in Switzerland in
lfllft. when Archduke Frederick met
Mr. Folder. Operation of the indus
tries had been paralyzed by the war.
Arransmrirts were made in October,
1919. wlKTfby the archduke was to
transfjr his properties, except those
in Hungary, to A corporation orga
nized ii Switzerland, to take over
the administration of the estates.
Mr. ".'elder was to form a syndi
cate in America to acquire substan
tia! in'erests in the new company
which he did. Differences arose be
tween the JTchducal family and the
yndicit. These have now been ad
justed. The syndicate and the arch
duke will enforce what they believe
to ho their rights against the sev
eral governments now withholding
possession.

CIRCUS DAY IS
NEAR AT HAND
Special Trains to Arrive Here Friday
Morning at Daybreak First
One in Several Years.
For the first time in a good num
ber of years a really big circus is
going to visit Plattsmouth. Among
voung and old alike this announce
m'-nt will be received with pleas
ure. The Campbell-Bailey-Hutchinson
Combined Circus and Wild West
show is the one to which we refer,
and their special circus train will
arrive here Friday morning for two
exhibitions, ;iie at 2 p. ni. and one
at S p. m. While not guaranteed
to be the largest, this is said to be
one of the best shows on the road.
and its 1921 tour has been most sue
cessf ul.
Given as the principal reason for
this is the fact that the manage
merit has spared neither money or
trouble to make their performances
the equal of any ever presented un
der a circus canvas. The regular
cirrus program is opened with a
beautiful patriotic ensemble, which
serves to introduce the, entire per
sonnel from the big dressing rooms.
Then, with blood-stirring music
from the large concert band, the
acts follow each other in bewilder
ing rapidity. Prominent among the
disnlavs are the Crillion troupe in a
series of new and daring feats in
the air and on the ground, the Dav
ennort faniilv of Riders, the Azuki
Japs, Campbell-Bailey-Hutchinson's
herd of performing elephants, Ro
chetta, the man who walks on his
head, and a score of other acts. The
clowns number 25 and include some
of the funniest jesters known. Al
most three hours of solid enojyment
is given those who attend, and this
is augmented by a thrilling Wild
West exhibition entitled "The Pass
ing of the West."
There will be the usual free street
parade at noonday. Performances
start at 2 and 8 p. m. Doors open
one hour earlier.
THE OLD FAITHFUL
Many geysers of the Yellowstone
National Park throw up their col
umns of water at irregular intervals.
Only the Old Faithful throws up a
column of hot water 2 feet in diam
eter to a height of ISO feet at regu
lar intervals of 65-70 minutes. Trail
er's Bitter Wine is a remedy which
desf-rves the same name. It is the
old faithful preparation which thor
oughly , cleans the bowels in a few
hours, removes gases from the intes
tines and restores the normal func
tions &i the body. It is a home rem
edy in the noblest sense of the word,
"semper fidelis," always faithful, as
the Latin phrase sa3'S. Here is one
of the testimonials showing the feel
ings of our customers: "Virden. 111.
Please hasten on the execution of my
order as much as possible. I do not
want to : fjo without this excellent
remedy "which all my family is using
for many -years. I am a great friend
of Trinrs Bitter Wine, which is a

CASS COUNTY FAIR
AT WEEPING WATER
Stock Show and Agricultural Expo
sition to be Held There Last
Three Days of Month
We wonder how many people rea
lize Cass county is to have a real
county fair this year? Last year a
stock show was held as a starter, and
a mighty good starter it was. This
ve:ir it has been broadened out into
a real fair.
Following are the classes of ex
hibits that will be shown:
Horses and mules. Class A.
Cattle, beef and dairy breeds. Class
B.
Swine, Class C.
Sheep, Class D.
Poultry. Class E.
Agriculture products. Class F.
Fruits. Class G.
Domestic products. Class II.
Woman's department and Needle
work. Class I.
Educationel department. Class J.
Boys' and Girls club. Class K.
Baby health. Class L.
Bees and Honey, Class M.
Dairy products. Class N.
The fair takes place the last three
days of September, the 28th. 29th
and 30th, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, at Weeping Water.
So fast has the fair idea grown
and developed that no permanent
fair grounds or buildings have been
secured as yet. but never-the-lesB
all exhibits will be well housed, the
committee announces. Dunn's pavil
ion. Chadderdon hall, the Methodist
church basement and a large -tent
will be the housing quarters this
year.
As a happy contrast to some other
fairs, the admission fee is nothing to
complain about it's FREE. There
are no entry fees either and likewise
no charge for pens or stalls.
Help boost the county fair. En
ter some exhibits yourself, to add
to the showing for Cass county.
Attend as many days as you can.
The grounds will be well lighted
with electricity and visitors will be
welcome at night.
The last day of the fair a big pub
lic auction of pure bred cattle and
hogs is to be held in connsction with
the fair. Among the afternoon at
tractions will be some good ball
games.
