From Thursday's Daily A small thing may cause a great deal of xlamage and this was shown during the cloudburst here this , morning when the wasningion nue sewer was practically useless by the fact that it was plugged up by a laree stumo that was washed in there several days ago and wnicn j with the small debris that banked against it, made the sewer almost useless to carry off any of the great amount of flood water tnat was pouring down from the hills and which forced the water out over the adjoining property and into the main part of town. The stump had lodged near the O. K. garage building and checked the water getting any further and even this morning in the second small rain, caused the sewer to over flow again. The water reaching the stumD. shot up through the surface intake to the height of several feetl and also backed up the water at the opening of the sewer at 10th street. Had the waterway been open as it should have been there is no doubt that there would not have been the serious losses on the north side that were experienced as the result of the flood. These stumps, trees and other ob jects that are thrown or wash into the creek contribute more than any thing else to the overflowing of the sewers and if necessary one man should be detailed to see that the creeks are kept clear at all times and the sewers in active operation if the property owners in that, locality are to be protected from the dangers of overflowing water. The very narrow escape that came to this city of an almost complete damage of the property in the busi ness section should be a warning to play safe in the season of heavy rains by taking the precautions that ordinary good judgment should dic tate. The creeks must be kept clear at all times, even if this has to be a special duty of some of the street cleaning department, the open grat ings and cellar windows along Main street must have concrete water walls placed around them or be clos ed up entirely and the property own-( ers wno nave laneu iu inace- muuh flood walls along the alley ways should do so. The experiences of the past should have taught the residents anei city officials that it is better to be safe than sorry anel they should lose no time in getting busy in making ade quate flood protection.-Another mat ter that' should be given attention is the- wholly inadequate inlets to the new sewers along Sixth street where there should be openings for half a block instead of the present small weed and grass catchers that do not carry off the flood waters. Interesting Copy of News paper Edited by the Ladies Mrs. C. E. Wescott, who is visit ing here with her sons, has among her treasureel belongings a newspa per that is of much interest and at the time of its issue, October 8th, ISO", attracted a great deal of at tention in this city. This is a copy of the Evening News, a daily paper published in Plattsmouth at that time, and the chief interest in the edition is the fact that the edition was written and edited by the ladies of Plattsmouth. The paper was at that time owned and operated by the Polk Brothers, who graciously took a vacation as far as the editorial wofk of the pa per was concerned for the day and left the work of preparing the edi tion in the hanels of the ladies. M.rs. Kate W. Davis, now a resi dent of Lincoln, was the editor of the paper, while Miss Carrie L. Hol loway, who was then deputy for her brother, Harvey Holloway, in the county sheriff s office, was the assist ant editor. Mrs. Fred Lehnhoff and Mrs. Frank Morgan were in charge of the advertising department, and Mrs. Margaret Mauzy was the treas urer of the organization. The ladies had the city arranged in wards to care for the circulation, Mrs. Henry Mauzy, first ward; Mrs. John Lees ley, second ward; Mrs. I. II. Dunn, third ward; Mrs. Harry Barthold, fourth ward and Mrs. A. I. Camp bell, fifth ward. Of these ladies, Mrs. Mauzy, Mrs. Uarthold and Mrs. Mor gan are the only ones who still claim this city as their home. The paper had a number of very interesting and special articles on the city anel current topics that were prepared by the ladies, one on the churches of the city, the various notes from other towns of the coun ty which were arranged by the ladies living in the respective communities, an article on the V. C. T. U. which was written hy Mrs. Wescott, and a poem prepared for the edition by the late Mrs. Isabel Richey. While the paper was not featured by news stories as the present day newspaper would consider them, the various articles are very interesting and the paper quite a treat to look over, especially to those who are familiar with the residents of the city at that time. ENTERTAINS AT MAH JONG The pleasant home of Misses Mia and Barbara Gering on North Sixth street was the scene of a very en joyable gathering last evening at a 6 o'clock Mah Jong luncheon given as one of the series of entertain ments oy the n&stesses.

ONE OF HEAVY LOSERS From Thursday's vailv I One of the heaviest losers in the flood will be Frank R. Gobelman, the cellar of whose building was completely filled with water that: made its way into the building from' the adjoining cellars. Mr. Gobelman had a large stock of powdered paint in barrels in the cellar and all of this is a comple te loss to him. and u-iwnh the other stocKs storeu mere, the loss will probably be close to ,jr,00 at least and possibly more as it cannot be definitely estimated just ' . . , ... t j .-1 . i what ine loss will ne uuui ine; will be until eel- 1: r is emptied of the water.

As soon as the past receives its supply of the "bonus" application blanks, a date will be set for the meeting, and every Legion member, as wcl as those who have enrolled their names with Comrades Holly, Dnxbury or Hild, will be notified by post card of the meeting. SUPREME COURT SPEEDS UP ITS WORK A LITTLE AormiK, Act)., June n. mere is evidence that the state supreme court has speeded up since he made the charge last August in Omaha, that the court was lagging in its work, W. E. Bowling, of Madison, candidate for supreme judge, told a local luncheon club. Cases are be ing handled very quickly, he declar ed. In his address on the American judiciary system Mr. Bowling out lined the court systems and told of the duties of each court. He then repeated his statement of last August that the supreme court of Nebraska is delaying justice by failing to keep up with its work. He contends that while the average district judge in Nebraska decides some 300 cases a year. the average supreme court judge decides but 3 4. The court is so far behind in its work, he said, that cases two years old and more are still undecided. Herbert Swanson will depart to morrow for Hambur.

From Frilny'R Daily ernor Bryan took occasion Go'. Thursday to express his appreciation of the services of his late chief clerk. Col. Joseph H. Fresson who died sud denly in his rooms Wednesday even ing. The colonel's desk was closed, but upon it stood a bouquet of pink roses. He left it Wednesday morn ing not to return. Inside it was found a manuscript of a partly com pleted autobiography that he had be-en devoting odd moments to in the last six months. It stopped where he told of going as a young man to St. Louis to buy a stock of goods to start a career as merchant. Governor Bryan expressed deep concern over the passing of the colonel. He said: "We were all greatly shockeel and distressed over hi3 sudden passing. He was in the office yesterday morn ing as usual when I came in. and bright and cheerful as always. I was advised in the evening that his con dition was not serious, and the mes sage later on that he had passed away was a distinct surprise. "Not only will he be missed as a member of the office staff and by the numberless persons he came in con tact with, but to me it is a great personal loss. He was not only a loyal friend but a delightful com panion. He had been connected with the office through a number of ad ministrations, but his ability, di plomacy and loyalty to each chief executive whom he served was such that there are few men with whom he might bo compared. He had been identified for so long a time and felt such a deep interest in and re sponsibility for his work hat it wili be many impossible to replace him "In fact no one lacking his years of experience, coupled with the abil ity and interest he possessed, will be able to serve the state as effi ciently and loyally as he had done. Few men are possessed of the qual ity of loyal service that he gave to each executive, regardless of the party to which he belonged I rec ognized in him such an eificient and indispensable public servant that he was the nrst person appointed un der my administration, and as he stood in a class by himself no one else was ever considered for the place. "He wa named in recognition of the Grand Army, whose members loved and respected him and looked to him for advice. His death will be mourned by all who came in contact with him in the state government and his many friends throughout the state. I have cancelled an out-of-town appointment tomorrow to at tend his funeral.'
