ANOTHER-CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY
From TuRiay'i Dally.
The office of county attorney that

Joseph Capwell. of Elmwood. entered
the lists last week as a candidate for
the democratic nomination and this
morning William G. Kieck filed for
the republican nomination to that
office. Mr. Kieck has been a resident
of this city for the past year and has
during his residence here made many
warm friends by his bright and pleas-
ing personality and his clever busl-
ness like methods,
Mr. Kieck is a graduate of the Ne-
braska university and also the Crei
braska university and also of the
Creighton law school, and prior to
coming to Plattsmouth was quite
active in public life in Sarpy county,
being a member of the state constitu
tional convention from that county
in, 1919.
Mr. Kieck is a former service man,
having been in the air service In
Trance for several months during the,
world war. He has since his retire
ment from the Crm of Dwyer &
Kieck, been engaged in the practice
of law in his own offices here and

TROUBLE OVER CHILD
From Tuesday's Dally.
This afternoon not a little excite
ment was occasioned at the Burling
ton passenger station when a fam
ily named Winkler had a mixup over
the custody of the ten-year old son
of the couple. It seems that the fath
er of the boy, who has had the rear
ing of the child, has consumption in
a very severe form and the boy has
been staying with the father on the
farm south of the city until the
mother, who resides at Newport, Ne-
'braska, was appraised of the condi-
tion that existed in the home and
came here to secure the child. The
parents of the boy have been separ-
ated for some time and during this
time the boy has grown mhrh at-
tarhed to the father and ascordingly
when brought to the passenger sta-
tion to leave made a decided protest
ana in wnicn me nauier participat
ed and for a few moments it seemed .
that the ;bystanders or the law would
have to be involved to keen the
struggle from becoming serious. The

COUNCIL
KEOP SEW
ERFPtOBLEi
WILL ADVERTISE THE PROPOSED
SEWEPvAGE: SET TIME FOR
HEARING OH SAKE.
The greater part of the session of
the city dads last night was devoted
to the proposition of the rejpaving
cf Main street and the construction
of two fcur-foot box sewers along tho
two sides of the street to care for the
flood water that might result as the
natural outcome of rainfall in the
territory drained by the main sec
tion of the city.
Engineer Bruce had with him at
the meeting several plans of paving
as well as the sewering and which
were placed in the hands of the coun
cilnien for their consideration. The
plans were prepared for both the
convex and concave plans for the
surface of the street. With the plans
and the present form of the street,
the carrying capacity was greatly in
creased. The plan for a six-inch crown on
the street also provided for a twelve
inch gutter line on the sides of the
stieet and with this plan was car
ried the proposal for a sewerage sys
tem that Mr. Bruce stated would in
crease the carrying capacity of the
street forty per cent.
Mr. Bruce also submitted the plans
for both a center line sewer and the
side line sewer. The center line sew
er would, in the opinion of the en
gineer, cost ?31.913, while the side
line sewer which would also elimin
ate a part of the cost of paving,
.would coct $22,000.74. The side line
sewer would take off some six feet
of the paving on each side which
would be used as concrete gutters
As explained by the engineer the
granite blocks would be used in the
ewer and this would make the cost
of the sewerage system equally di
vided over the district of $4.80 per
lot. However. Mr. Bruce though
that the property that was directly
affected . by the sewer should pay
more than the outlying lots in the
tMrtrict.i He had alked the matter
over 'with Frank T. Darfowthe
Burlington engineer . who had laid
out the present street, and Mr. Dar
row had agreed that - the proposed
Fewer would' do away with many of
the troubles occasioned by the over
flowing water on Main' street. Mr.
.Pruee stated that on the suggestion
of Mr. Darrow he had changed the
course of the sewer that he had orig
.naily planned to open at the subway
so that it crossed Main street at the
Burlington right of way and con
nected with the main sewer at a
point near Richey street and from
which it would cross the Burlington
right of way and that the railroad
had desired this in keeping with
their. plans and would lay the sewer
ing across this section, cutting down
the cost cf the city close to $1,000.
It was also proposed by Mr.Bruce
to have fifteen foot inlets along
Sixth street and also openings at the
intersection of Sixth and Vine that
would convey the flood water thru
fmaller sewers to the large sewer on
Main street.
The matters of paving was also
taken up aud several plans laid be
fore the council. Plan D., first of
iereJ, was 'for the cobblestone base
with one inch space for concrete
grouting, brick block covering and
jand cushion. j
F lan E., was the same with the ex-!
ception of providing for a four-inch
concrete re-enforced covering to the
granite block.
Plan F., called for the same as E.,
with the exception of the -two-inch
asphalt covering for the paving, j
Plan C, was for re-enforced con
crete. Plan B., for straight concrete
and Plan A., for the straight brick
blook paving with concrete base. All
of these called for a six-inch base.
Mr. Bruce presented a resolution
which was .to publish the proposed
sewer district and set a date on
which hearings might be had by
those interested before the council.
altho under the law the council could
proceed as they wished in the mat
ter. It was decided by the council to
have the resolution passed and that
March 20th be set as the time for
holding the meeting to take up the
matter of adopting or rejecting the
sewer proposition.
The Plattsmouth Water Oo. pre
sented a communication to the coun
cil in regard to the extension of Its
mains and promising to have the
same' looked after as soon as the
weather conditions would permit.
The proposition of the Platts
mouth Motor Co. to sell the city a
Fordson tractor for the sum of $500
for use in grading and dragging the
roads was placed on the table as the
dads did not feel the city could af
ford it at the present time.

On motion of Councilman Bestor
the citj clerk was given authority to
notify the state banks of the fact
that they were not required to give
bond for the city fund as protected
by the guarantee fund.
On the matter of the ordinance to
Issue $19,000 in twenty year bond.,
$1,000 to be retired each year, the
council decided that they would wait
and see what could be done in re
gard to issuing optional bonds ithat
might be retired in less time. These
bonds were to take up the registered
warrants in paving district No. 21
The ordinance was laid over by a
vote of six to three.
The ordinance to issue $10,000 In

CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS VISITOR
HERE YESTERDAY
Hon. Pell A. Barrows, Now Lieuten
ant Governor end G. 0. P. Ad
herent Visiting Voters.
From Tuesdays Dally.
Yesterdr.y afternoon the pleasant
and genial countenance of Nebras
ka's lieutenant governor, Hon. Pell
A. Barrows, was with the citizens of
Plattf mouth, when Mr. Barrows
dropped down here for a short visit
with the old time friends and neigh
bors in this section of Cass county.
Mr. Barrows is a candidate for the
republican nomination for congress
in the first district and is getting
over the district meeting the various
political leaders and the voters who
will select the candidate for the nom
ination at the primary in July.
The Cass county people feel t! at
they have a claim on Mr. Barrows, as
he was for some time engaged in the
newspaper game in the county as
editor and publisher of the News
Herald in this city, and being an old
time newspaper man gave the people
a very ably edited organ during the
time he was at the helm of the paper.
Since removing to Lincoln he has
been the representative in that city
of the Omaha Bee and later was se
lected as lieutenant governor in 19 IS
and again re-elected in 1920 to the
position, filling it with ability and
dignity to himself and the state.
While here Mr. Barrows dropped
in for a visit with the Journal and
to exchange greetings of the craft
and the visit of the genial statesman
wa3 one much enjoyed by all of the
force.
If we are to have a republican as
congressman from this . district, cer
tainly no better choice could be made
than that of Mr. Barrows.
