Will i.3Tr4 KniisCODal bishOD Of ?M e- AUCTIONEER STOP PED FROM SELLING GOODS ON STREET Vendor of Varied Array of Merchan- i dise Forced to Remove to the Vicinity of Eall Park. From Monday s Dally. Saturday afternoon there arrived here an auctioneer of the race whose ancestors were dwellers in the vicin ity of Jerusalem and with him he brought a nondescript array of goods of various kinds from the silk that might adorn the person of my lady to the overalls that the horny hand ed son of toil demands for his use. The party in the case secured a license as an auctioneer but failed to state that he was to handle a load of I dry goods or clothing and conse quently alter ne nau held rortn a short time at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, the law as represented by Chief Jones requested to gaze up on his permission to handle the stock of goods that he was auctioning. This license the man had not, and then the chief recited the occupation tax ordinance of the city, which is the product of many learned minds, and which prescribes that where the owner of a stock of goods auctioned is not a resident of the city, the sum of S25 must be placed in the hands of the city clerk as well as the $5 fee for the auctioneer. Now the auctioneer had paid over the $5 but complained that he had not the $25 demanded and was ac cordingly told that he had best fold up his alluring array of stuff and depart. After a confersnce between the auctioneer and several of those who were desirious of getting in on the put .and take game, the stock wa3 moved to the land east of the Bur lington which is what might be call ed "no man's land," as it lias been in much dispute and here the auction was continued and a few remained there to witness the close. While everyone should have the 'right to do as they choose, it seems tnat tne nusiness interests or the city should have protection .3gainst such enterprises as . that of these traveling auctioneers who come in and try to dispose of their wares. while the local merchant is here every day handling the same lines into the general improvement of the city, l ne support or tne business interests of the city is what makes Plattsmouth a better town to live in and allows more attractive sur roundings to the community, increas ing the local demand for improve ment and the use of home labor and its products. REPLIES TO "TAX PAYER" Editor Journal: As "Tax Payer" is an old resident in this vicinity, he must have re marked upon rhe continual increase in tax in the last few years, which has not only been doubled but re doubled, and if ihe .is a property paving .thereon, in addition to other property, as we have done; I can on ly fay his fine courage i3 .to be ad mired in contemplating having to pay for it all over again for the third lime. If any man in this town is small ' S'.ve employment to the needy. P ally it Paul by some one else If looks well on paper but that j is not tne prime object in repaying I a street, if it was it would come out of the city funds instead of a few of the citizens' pockets. I admit that it might "make busi ness move along." I think it would, and take the business men with it somewhere else. There is a motto wihicli says: "Make Haste Slowly." there is also another which says: "Whenever you -write a letter do not he afraid to sign your name to it." I alio am a TAX PAYER but the word is not large enough to use it as a cover for mv name, which is ANNIE I. WHITE. ACCUSES GOVERNOR OF SE DUCTION; FILES DAMAGE SUIT Jasfoson, Miss., Fe.b. 6.

HAS LOTS OF TROUBLE The average person who thinks he is overburdened with trouble should have teen at the Burlington station today and witnessed the ef forts of "Dr." Howard M. Young, the veteran bill poster to put up a sign on the billboard just east of the sta tion. The wind was blowing a stiff gale asj "Doc" hoisted the paper up to be plastered on the board and the rephers merrily blew the paper to the four winds and the bill poster was surely given a trial of his pa tience. Those who were in the vicin ity say that Doc never said a word but we would hate to known what he thought. To add to the tribula tions of Doc one of the gentle bo vnes feeding in the pasture where the bill board Is located, rushed up and proceeded to grab off a section cf the bills and it was only after a hard chase that the animal was sep arated from the bill. After getting the 'board almost half covered Doc gave up the job and hurling the paste bucket afar he made his way back to the city. VISITING 127 THE CITY Mrs".

The First mriQNAL Bank THE BANK WHERr YOU FKIRL AT HOMS lJUTSMOUTII JL 7F.ORASKA Member Federal Reserve illlllllllllllitillililillM UMl ----- Ui SCHMADER MAY MEETJIM FLYNN Local Light-Heavyweight Boxer Re turns from Denver Where Ar rangements Under Way Andy Schmader, who i.i under tem porary suspension by the Nebraska state boxing commission as u result of the unfortunate ending of his fight with Lamron in Omaha leccinb r 17. returned Saturday rcai a stay of two weeks in Denver, where he v. as ac companied by his manager Jack Lew is and Billy Rolfe, one of the promi nent welterweights cf the .tate. Andy is feeling good and keeping in the pink of condition. While in Denver negotiations were opened for a fight there in March be tween Pchmauer and either Jim Flynn, of Pueblo, or Battling Ortega. Either would make a good match for the ex-navy champ and the Colorado fans are looking forward to one of the best bouts ever held in the west ern city. Andy Schmader is a man, every Inch of him. He has never been ac cused of laying down in a fight, nor has he ever lived other than the cleanest cut life. He does not hanker for the bright lights of the city, but prefers to rpend his training hours at his heme far from the clang of the city's din. In short the only fault that has ever been found with this clever young boxer is his inability to keep his head on certain infrequent occa sions. For this reason his many friends and the general public as well are pleased to lend their influence to ward having the period of his sus pension reduced to such reasonable length cf time as they believe will prove best not only for him but the boxing game in Nebraska, as well. Since the foregoing article was typed, a telegram from Colorado Springs confirms the matching of Schmader and Flynn for a bout there on February 22nd. Andy will leave the latter part of the week for that city, where he will put the finishing touches to his training.
