NEW PARKING RULES
The decision of the city council to
have the parking regulations for -automobiles
changed in the city so that
the errs will be parked at the side of
the street instead of the center, seems
to meet with the aproval of a great
majority of the people as a matter ,
of economy of space.
The numocr of cars are greatly in-,
creasing all the time and the use of j
the sides of the streets will, it is said. )
give double the space for cars than -
exists at the present time.
By the parking on the sides it is';0ne cf the delightful features was
also hoped to eliminate the practice
of the pedestrians darting in and out
of the cars as they did when the cars
were parked in the center of the
street and which resulted in a num -
bcr of narrow escapes from serious
injury to some of the youngsters and
with the new arrangement it is hop-'
i'n inai me intersections win oe ustu

auto a "chance to avoid the danger

UNCOVER CACHE OF
OLD TIME LIQUOR
Finds' Jug Supposed to Contain Seme '

Real Pre-Volstead Fluid, Also
Bottle of-"Hootch.
From Frlaay's Dally. t
While out in the vicinity of Louis-
vine yesterday Sheriff C. D. Quinton ,
waa informed of a find made near
that place a few days ago by some :
the boys who were out hunting
in the woods northwest of the town,
when they uncovered the burial place
fo some liquor supplies. While the
quantity of the beverage was not so
great, it is claimed that the party
found a jug that had within it the
remnants of some real old whisky of
the pre-Volstead days, when the ;
countersign was "What will you
have," and before the decadence of
tillimr and brewing. The jug was
found reposing in a cache in the
"jack oaks" and nearby was resting
a bottle of the latter day spirits- of
"hootch," compounded according to
tho formulae that transforms Ne
braska's greatest crop into the fight
ing spirits that are disposed of by
the bootleggers.
It is needless to say that the own
er of the spirits has not revealed him
self and the matter will probably re
main --a dark secret to be revealed
only in the fullness of time.

ATTORNEY SUFFERS LOSS
From Friday's Pnlly.
Last June Attorney W. G. Kisck
of this city purchased himself a neat
and attractive Ford coupe that has
been a source of enjoyment to the
genial and clever attorney, but alas
and again alas, the joy has van
ished as the result of the efforts of
some hard hearted violator of the
law and the coupe has vanished even
as completely as have the Hallam
bank robbers.
It seems that Mr. Kieck, who en
joys a" visit each Sunday with his
parents at Springfield, left the car
standing on the streets of that town
while he was visiting and on his de
sire to return to Plattsmouth found
that the car had been taken away
and so far has not been located.
Mr. Kieck. who has been up in
Knox county trying a number of :
cases, was "compelled to make the!
trip on the train, returning home'
yesterday and is still hot on the
trail of whoevertook his car.

S. G. Porter, Son cf First Democratic
Gubernatorial Candidate in
State, Discusses Issues.
Samuel G. Porter, 'son of the first
democratic candidate for governor of
Nebraska, is in this city from Denver
on business. Mr. Porter was born in
Plattsmouth and his father, James
R. Porter, was nominated by the
democrats, in 1S69.
"When I was a young man, things
were different from nowadays," he
said. "I sold the first McCormick
harvester in this state and the price
was $163. With cheaper production
duo to invention and progress, it
now sells for 5235. Prices havedou
bled and trebled along; with taxes,
all up and down the line. The pro
ducer is all depressed. We need a
change and 1 believe the administra
tion will lose scores of congressmen
and cenr.tors because of that feeling.
The smelting in Colorado is at the
lowest ebb I ever saw it, the ranga
is rot swarming with cattle. The
people are mistreated and many of
them broke. The only remedy is to
turn against the republican regime
of robber tariff and protection o8
privilege and knock a large hole in
the burwarks of the present admin
istration. We must use our brains in
this country."
Mr. Porter has land in southwest
