From Saturday's Daily
Several months ago the congrega
tion of the St. Paul's Evangelical
church in this city voted to have a
large excavation made beneath the
church for the purpose of a base
ment that would add to the capacity
of the church and permit greater ac
tivity in their Sunday school and
young people's department that had
in recent years not been given the
attention that a growing church
should have.
The work of completing the base
ment has been finished and the
church now has one of the most com
plete and attractive places for the
social activities that is possessed by
any church in the city and while
the improvement has cost some
$2,0u0 , it is a much needed addi
tion to the church and will permit

From Saturday'. Iail
Yesterday afternoon Miss Minnie
Klinger, the present efficient ci
clerk of Plattsmouth, filed with the
countv clerk her intention of mak
infi the race for the office of re
gister of deeds of Cass county, the
decision coming after the earnest
solicitation of her friends in this
community.
Miss Klinger will seek the demo
cratic nomination for the office anJ ,
will have no opposition at the pri
mary election on August 10th. ,
The new candidate is one of the
best known and popular young
women in this city and her splendid
race last spring for the office of city
clerk at the last election was a real
tribute to her popularity in this city.
She is a lady of more than uaual
ability and her splendid educational
qualifications and special training in
office work makes her a strong can
didate for the office of register of
deeds. Miss Klinger was for some
time stenographer in the office of
former County Attorney A. G. Cole
and has since that time been cm
ployed as bookeeper-at the office of
the Modern Construction company j
and her work has been recognized
as being of the highest class and
efficiency.
Miss Klinger is a lady of the most
pleasant personality and handles her
work with the public with the ut

add a very pleasing note to the gen

The lighting effects of the room
comes from a series of five large
shaded electric lights that give an
ample illumination to the interior
of the room.
The room is equipped with large
and substantially built tables that
will be found very useful in the Sun
day school work and also for the
purpose of serving banquets or sim
ilar gatherings.
Not the least of'the fittings of the
nev.- basement and the one that per
haps has been the center of attrac
tion for the ladies is the ample and
well arranged kitchen thd the ladies
of the aid society are planning to
stock with dishes and other articles
that may be required for the handling
of social gatherings of the church.
The kitchen is equipped with a new
and up to dnte gas range, coffee urn
and also with a sink and running
water to aid in the kitchen work
On the west side of the kitchen
there are large built in cabinets for
linen and the kitchen articles as well
as a large cabinet for holding sup
plies that may be needed.
There are also a series of large
windows on the west side of the
basement that furnish ample light
for the main room and the kitchen
The new basement is a real place
and the people of St. Paul's church
can feel a most pardonable pride in
it.
The committee that has had charge
of constructing the new basement
has been Carl Kunsmann, Michael
Hild and J. P. Falter and they have
secured a real job in the completed
basement and one that will for many
years serve this popular and fast
growing church.
The church has had a notable re
vival since the coming of Rev. O. G.
Wichman to the charge here and he
feels that with the opportunities that
the enlarged building offers that the
church can make further gams In the
future.

Con Gillespie, who was one of the
local members of the Roman Catholic
faith to attend the great Eucharistic
congress at Chicago, enjoyed one of
the greatest experiences of his life at
the great gathering and the presence
of not only the hundreds of thousands
of the pilgTims but the large array
of church dignitaries made the event
one of the greatest in the annals of
the Catholic church in America. Mr.
Gillespie, who was accompanied by
John A. Libershal had the oppor
tunity of seeing almost all of the
visiting cardinals of the church who
were in attendance, including the
papal legate. Cardinal Bonzano, and
Cardinal Wrilliam O'Donnell, the pri
mate of Ireland and which was par
ticularly interesting to Mr. Gillespie
because of the fact of his being a son
of old Erin.
As a side light of the Chicago trip
the two Plattsmouth men had the
pleasure of seeing Crown Prince Gus
taves Adolphus of Sweden and Crown
Princess Louise, who were at the
same hotel that the two Plattsmouth
men were staying at, to attend the
banquet given by the Swedish resi
dents of Chicago. It wag a strange ex
perience for Mr. Gillespie, he states,
who had at one time been a humble
subject of the English crown when a
boy, to stay under the same roof with
the niece of the English king and
which is a great object lesson to the
American of the leveling of rank in
our country.
From Saturday's Daily
Mrs. Andrew G. Johnson, a resi
dent of Plattsmouth for the past
thirty-nine years, was called to her
last reward last evening at "the fam
ily home in the south portion of the
city, death coming very peacefully
and suddenly as Mrs. Johnson was
sitting in a rocking chair in the par
lor of the home.
Mr. Johnson had gone out into
the country on a short business trip
and shortly before his return the
neighbors had seen Mrs. Johnson
come out of the house and walk
around a short time and securing a
bottle of milk that had been placed
on the porch return into the house
Mr. Johnson arrived home a few
moments after 8 'clock and as he en
terea tne nome Mrs. Johnson was
sitting in a rocking chair near one
of the windows of the room and
the husband greeted her as usual
but she failed to give any response
and as he came to her side he was
startled to find that she had passed
away and had apparently been dead
dead for several minutes. Medical
aid was summoned but without vail
as the patient was beyond any aid.
Ililma Catherine Erickson was born
in Sweden, April 29, 1863 and came
to Plattsmouth in the year 18S7, and
has since that time made her home
in that community where she was
married April 9, 1S9S to Andrew G.
Johnson and has been one of the
highly esteemed ladies of the city. Of
the family circle there remain the
husband and two cihldren. Miss
Helen Johnson of Omaha and Melvin
Johnson, of Erie, Pennsylvania. The
deceased lady was, a member of the
Swedish mission church of this city
and socially was identified with the
Degree of Honor lodge of this city.
In their loss the members of the
family will have the deepest sym
pathy of the many friends. - ,

Asking the court to restrain his
wife, Mrs. Christine Sherwood, from
striking, beating or molesting himin
any way, Ralph C. Sherwood, 904
South Thirty-eighth avenue, filed suit
for divorce in uisinct court iriuay.
Sherwood, who is a cripple as the
result of injuries suffered in two rail-!
road wrecks, charges his wife with ,
extreme cruelty in that she struck'
and beat him and, he alleges, was
untrue to him.
Decision to file the divorce suit .
came Wednesday night, he alleges,
after he arrived home and found an-j
other man in the house, who hit him j
over the head and fled. Mrs. Sher
wood followed the other man after
hurling a kettle of soup, some soap
and several pots and pans at her
husband, he says. They both went
away in his new sedan automobile.
Wife has Property.
He says in his petition that he is
dependent upon his house and furni
ture, which he values at $4,000. On
June 9, however, he alleges, his wife
induced him to convey the property
to her with the idea of later de
serting him.
He states in the petition that he
fears possible violence at the hands
of his wife, and asks that a restrain
ing order issue against her.
Mrs. Sherwood declared Friday that
the trouble between her and her hus
band is due to incompatibility that
they do not synchronize mentally.
'If Mr. Sherwood wishes a divorce.
I will not oppose him except as may
be necessary to protect myself if he
makes any charges that are untrue,"
she said.
"During the 13 years of our mar
ried life our brains have developed
along "different lines," she continu-
er. e are mnuenceu oy our en
vironments. Sherwood has embar
rassed me frequently by his associa
tions.
Denies "Other Man."
'He is a sick man and I am a
nervous woman. He imagines an
sorts of things and the biggest thing
in his imagination seems to be that
there is another man in love with
me. There is no otner man.
Denying that she threw soup at
her husband, she said he started to
strike her, and she held up a dish o
potatoes and the potatoes went over
him.
"I am going to stay here in this
home," she declared.
It is mine. I am not going to
fight a sick man any more than
necessary to protect myself."
Mrs. Sherwood, a native of Schuy
ler. Neb., was a clerk in a ready-to
wear department when she first met
her husband, who came from his
home in Plattsmouth with his sister
She waited upon the sister and Slier
wood smiled upon her. After the
sale was made Sherwood invited her
to dinner with his sister and thus
the courtship started.
The couple have no children. Om
