taken by the state engineer, when it
was found that the south wall at the

LEEANS LOSS OF VOTE TO
THE SENATE REPUBLICANS
Washington, Aug. 3. The repub
lican organization In the senate will
lose a vote during the next congress
through the death of President Hard
ing, a vote which many of the party
leaders thought might be necessary
to save the control of that party over
matters of legislation.
Now that the office of vice presi
dent is no longer filled, it will be
necessary for' the senate to select
from its own membership a presid
ing officer, who as a senator would
cpst his vote on roll calls. While
the vice president as presiding offi
cer, never participated in debate, he
was required by the constitution to
break any tie votes. With the re
publican majorities in the senate re
duced almost to the vanishing point
and with threatened new alignments
of republican senators, the import
ance of the vice president's vote took
on new proportions.
Who will be chosen as presiding
officer of the senate cannot be fore
cast. Senator Cummins of Iowa was
selected by his colleagues during the
last session to preside in the absence
of Vice President Collidge, but he
has indicated a desire to be relieved
of the duties to enable him to give
more time to his duties as chairman
of the interstate commerce commit

There is on exhibition at the J. C.
Canfield cabinet shop a solid walnut
buffet that is certainly a beautiful
piece of work and one that carriers
with it a history of many years In
the Mann family of this city. The
beautiful piece of furniture is the
work of the skill of Mr. Canfield,
and prior to being rebuilt was one of
the old fashioned wardrpbes which
were so popular in this country in
the days of the Civil war, but which
have in this age of large and commo
dious closets been relegated to the
things of the past. It is not alone
in its beauty that the buffet has a
real interest but in the history that
is attached to it.
It was in the year 1S59 that the
wardrobe came into the Mann fam
ily and the circumstances of this as
related by the members here are to
the effect that the late Captain Peter
Mann and family then living in the
old city of St. Louis, were moving to
a new location and finding need for
the conservation of room decided
that they must have a wardrobe and
accordingly made the purchase of
the article of furniture, it being se
cured from one of the dealers living
nearby their home and at that time
was a real valuable piece of furni
ture as it stood some nine 'feet tall
and was ample for the storage of the
family garments. When the family
came to Plattsmouth in 1873 the
wardrobe was carefully crated and
loaded on the side wheel steamer,
the "Glasgow," and with the family
was brought up the Missouri river to
Plattsmouth where Captain Maun
was employed as the head of one of
the boats being used in the transfer
business here. The wardrobe was in
the possession of the family in the j
old home on high school hill for I
more than forty years and it had
woven around it the feeling of at
tachment of the family as represent
ing an heirloom of the father and
mother and in the last year it was
taken by George B. Mann and by him
the plans were prepared to have it
remodeled inti a modern piece of
furniture and today the result is one
of the most attractive pieces of furni
ture that could be found anywhere.

These were the last words uttered
by President Harding to Mrs. Hard

to Alfred Holman, San Francisco

of the president, who visited the sick

NEED ARMY TO QUELL
REDS, SAYS PERSHING
Delmonte, Cal., Aug. 1. Speaking
here today, General John J. Pershing
asserted the nation for years would
need Its civilian-soldier to aid in
suppressing "Red" activities. "Insid
ious workings of red propaganda
upon the Pacific coast" had made es
pecially rapid progress, he told the
members of the civilian military
training camp and 2,000 other per
sons here.
General Pershing urged that not
only the men, but the women of the
nation be trained in military tactics.
Guided by his concept of government
and the lights before him he unques
tionably sought to appear worthy of
public faith.
"There exists, of course, differ
ences of opinion as to policy, but
there is no denial; of the president's
conscientious desire to efficiently
promote the general welfare. His!
life is but another toll of war. Teace J
brought an end to hostilities but vast
responsibilities remained. In the
midst of these human strength wa3
not sufficient to continue the task."
The marriage license market will
have a decided slump in the state of
Nebraska is the general prediction,
following the going into effect of the
now marriage law today. . It is cer
tain that if the law is followed close
ly that there is going to be a matri
monial drouth for the period from
the 3rd to the 13th of August as it
requires a ten day notice to secure a
license to secure a license and this
will carry the would be fcride and
groom over the 13th.
The applicants under the new law
must not only wait the ten days for
the license but also must make a
sworn statement to the officer issu
ing the license that they are of
"sound contracting mind and un-i
married, neither divorced within thei
past six months, neither adjudged!
an imbecile or a feeble minded per
son nor adjudged afflicted with epi
lepsy or hereditary Insanity."
However, there are bright spots
in the law and anyone who has al
ready secured a license prior to Au
gust 3rd may be wedded at any time
and also the county judges may use
their discretion as to the matter, of
publicity of the list of applicants by
posting in the court house and in
most cases the bulletin boards will
not be extensively used as the appli
cations are generally always publish
ed in the papers.
Many of those who have been con
templating matrimony have labored
under the impression that the Ne-1
braska law required a physical ex
amination but such is not the case,
only the sworn staetments of the ap
plicants being necessary.

One of the largest catches on the
Missouri river at this place is report
ed to have been made a few days ago
by Edward Bashus at the mouth of
the Platte river and which consisted
of a seventy-pound silver cat fish,
which is the finest specimen of its
kind that has been found in the
river in many years.
The fish was not landed without
difficulty and for some twenty min
utes the fisherman battled with the
king of the silver cats before he was
finally hauled into the boat and
brought-to shore. A fish of this size
is certainly worthy of comment and
Mr. Bashus feels very well pleased
over the catch that was his good
luck.
The fish is being held by Mr.
Bashus for the state fisheries, a rep
resentative of which is expected here
in the next few days to take the fish
to South Bend.
