Tuesday and Wednesday for the third annual Legion convention. Even Paree in all its dazzling splendor presented drawbacks, not the least of which were pertinent M. P's. and the oft-demanded salute of superior officers. With restraint thrown to the Four Winds the care free ex-service men were exuberant with joy when trie key to the ci'y was officially presented them. To say they failed to make use of it would be stretching the truth as far as from east to west. Night and day the marching paraders trod the streets of the business section, shouting, yell ing and singing, pushing, jostling and jaming their way thru crowds of interested onlookers. Police stood by enjoying the fun. Over at convention hall other masses were assembled for the more serious work of the convention delegates from the forty-eight states. cf the union. China.

Yesterday a number of the wan dering Romany tribes arrived in the city, traveling in the modern style of the auto and the ladies in the party at once proceded to get busy scattering over the city in search of those whom they might beguile into telling their fortunes and also pick up what might be loose. The fortune tellers had bad luck dn the person of Chief of Police Jones, who overtak ing them before they had lifted any thing advised them the mto crank up their little old cars and get out where the fresh country air could be enjoyed as this place was of of wan dering fortune tellers and their fol lowers. The approach of the chilly weather is causing most of the mi gratory tribes to follow the ducks to the southward and they are now taking up the lon trail to warmer climes.

COMMISSIONERS LOOKING OVER THE TRUANT OFFICER Request of County Superintendent That Eoard Make Provision For This Office Good. From Thursday's Dally Tlio lw- -i ,1 - F nmmtr iAmm)ci;iAn. miooi.. ers wnicn nas Deen spending me greater part of their time this week in the allowance of the claims ; against the county, this morning took up the .matter of a county tru ant officers and the best manner of handling the proposition. From time to time complaints come from all over the county to the office of the county superintend ent in regard to young people who are not attending school and partic ularly of the younger children, and which is in violation of the state law and it is to put a stop to the practice of keeping children out of school that the truant officer is cre ated. The legislature at the last ses sion gave the commissioners the power to create this office and to fix a compensation, but the county board while not objecting to the cre ation of the office do not look kind ly on the proposition of adding to the expenses of the county and its citizen. Another phase of the matter is whether one officer could cover the county or whether it would be bet ter to have one in each of the com missioner districts and have the com missioners add this to their burden rf oTice. With a truant officer resid ing in either the extreme eastern or western part of the county the mile age would be considerable if they were compelled to make many trips whn with thrpe !n the rmintv th s e territory could be better divided. The board will consider the mat ter carefully before taking action and endeavor to do what they may think best for the interests of the countv and the schools. FIRE PREVENTION DAY TO BE OBSERVED Special Efforts to be Put Forth on Friday to Shew People Neces sity cf Fire Prevention. From Thursday's Dully. On Friday. November 4th, the ciM ?ens of Plattsmouth will carry on an observance of Fir 3 Prevention day. the date having been set apart by Governor S. R. McKelvie. for this purpose. The campaign of adii cation of the ways of saving the cost of destruction by fire is one that has secured some very fine results in the last few years and tended to check the record of fires over the state but there is still much room for improve ment. The schools of the state will all have special talks, drills and instruc tion on the manner of preventing fires by careful steps to do away with the causes that contribute to the greater percentage of the fires over the state. The young people of the schools have shown great inter est in the campaign of education and much success has been derived in the past by reaching this portion of the public and having the safety lessons taken by the school children to their homes. In speaking of tbe fire prevention moves. Chief Sandin, of the city fire department is urging everyone to get busy with the defective flues and have them fixed up before the cold weather sets in, a3 it is thru this means that a large per cent of the fires are caused. In our city es pecially is this the case as a larger part cf the resident fire3 can be traced to the family chimney and a few moments work would do away with this danger and save the con sequent loss of money and perhaps life. The chief and the members of the fire department have also secured the use of wagons and men to have all ashes and debris hauled away from the business section of the city and for this purpose every property owner or business man along Main street is requested to have .the stuff that should be hauled away, placed at the rear of their places of busi ness by tomorrow morning and it will be taken care of by the fire fighters.

SUITCASES A1ID OTHER ARTICLES SE CURED RY VISITORS. Frfm FrKlay's Jaii In common with the other towns of the county, this city at an early hcur this morning vas made the vic tim of a visit of burglars, the Phil ip Thierolf clothing store being the nlace visited by the unwelcome visit ers. The robbery occurred, as far as can be tstiiiiated. shortly "after 2 o' clock and the parties doing the job made their entrance to the store by! forcing the eerc-en over the transom of the front door and then forcing the trar.som itself. The size of the transom points clearly to the fact that the party who entered the store must have been a small person and one who was very r.ctive as the place is ere that is difficult to enter with out a great deal of effort. Aft?r securing entrance the burg lar appears to have made a selection of the suit cases which were located on the top of the shelving on the c i ;t side of the store room and to reach th a the burglar had evident ly stood on the show cases as the mark -of footprints were to be seen there this morning. The party or parties had then gone on through th-? store picking out the goods- de sired ar.d several of the best over coats were picked up atr.stored away as well as three or four flan r.vl shirts, dress shirts and other ar ticles. From the indications the parties ?CP7n to huve been well acquainted witii t!ii lay of tlif-store as they se cured the key to the back door that i? concealed each night in the store at closing up time and with this they attempted to r.nks their geta-v.-ay from the rear of the store build ing, hut were evidently unable to ac complish their object a:id made their escape through the front door of the store, carrying with them the loot secured. The burglars in working at .'he rmr cor dropped a part of their stock of shirts on top of the safe and here Ihey were found this morn ing by Mr. Thierclf The burglars evidently maintain ed a lookout as it is reported that a man was seen in the hallway just west of the store during the time of the robbery and who had doubtless been stationed there to give the alarm in case that anyone came near the store while the operatives were wcrking inside. During the whole time the light in the store was burn ing and apparently did not frighten the burglars in the least. From the general indications the job locks rather'lik? the work of amateurs and more fo that of per sons who were more or less familiar with the arrangements of the store as they made their way over the store with ease and the circumstance of being able to locate the key that was concealed shows that it was a pres meditated affair. Mr. Thierolf was notified of the robbery as soon as it was discovered ar.d with Mr. B. A. Rosencrans hast tened to the store and checked up the stock to discover just how much of the stock had been carried away. Had tbe parties been able to get the Lack door open they doubtless would have gotten away with a great deal more than they did. as the goods were evidently carried out in the stolen suitcases. LARGE EOGr KILLED A VALUABLE E0RSE On Wednesday evening when Wat son Jones came in from the field he unhitched his team and turned them out in the hog lot. One of them, a valuable mare layed down and .was roiling when she was attacked by the large GOO pound boar, cutting open the abdomen of the horse with his long sharp tusks, almost disem howling the sfnimal. Mr. Jones heard the horse groan and went to investi gate, but the boar made an attack on him and he had to make a hasty getaway. The horse wa3 in a critical condition and was immediately kill ed by shooting. The hog still wanted to chew up everything that crossed his path and had to be penned up. His tusks were 5 or G inches long. Elmwood Leader-Echo. CALLED TO IOWA From Friday's rariy- - This morning G. W.

A, few days ago. in discussing the various ways of civic improvements one' of the well known residents of jthe city offered a ery practical and sensible manner of making the city more attractive in the summer months and one that will add to the material welfare of the residents of the city. The proposition is this have tbe citv take over all of the vacant lots 'in t Vi a it. tlint I11V0 liffnmA T1 fMl 111 - . I . . v . v i i ,.ul m . i . v .... ... ... bered with taxes and from which there can be no use derived from the owners, and convert them into gar dens. The city, it is suggested, could offer prize to the children of the city for the best appearing and suc cessful garden and allow the young folks the use of the lots for their garden spots and at the end of the season give the prize winners their rewards. If the contestants failed to keep up their garden the city would then take it over and the parties lose their garden spot and the opportun ity of winning one of the piizes. This plan has been tried very successfully in a number of the Iowa towns and cities and the .results more than pleasing in every case. We have, here in Plattsmouth, a number of places that might very profitably be used in this way and not only do away with unsightly weed patches but give the boys and " i ; t . .. . ... ..:-. n . i kiiis u ii iijijidi iuiih.v ui mi'iaiii lutn den.
