Old Resident,
Dies at York
Aged Gentleman In Poor Health for
Number of Years Succumbs to
His Long Illness.
From Tuesday's Dally
This morning a message was re
ceived here by Hans Seiver, secre
tary of the local Odd Fellows lodge
informing him of the death last
night at the I. O. O. F. Home at
York, Nebraska, of Andrew Nelson,
former resident of Plattsmouth and
who has for the past two years made
his home at the Home at ork.
Mr. Nelson, who was 77 years of
age, has made his home in Platts
mouth for the past forty years, com
ing here from his home in Sweden
and was for thirty-five years engaged
in work with the Burlington, large
ly In the boiler house of the com-
pany at the local shops. His failing .
health made necessary his retirement .
until his condition made it neces
sary for him having almost constant
care and which caused him to go to
the Odd Fellows Home where he has
since resided. Mr. Nelson was un
married and as far as known had
no relatives in this country.
The news of the death of Mr.
Nelson brings a great regret from
the many old time friends in this
community as he was a very genial
and pleasant gentleman altho of a
retiring nature, but the friends that

First Suit Filed
to Clean Up Taxes
on Real Estate
Move to Place Long Delinquent
Property on Tax List by Sell
ing to New Owners.
from Tuesday's Dally
The first suit to be filed in the
campaign to clean up i and again
place on the tax list property that
has large accumulation of taxes, has
been filed by County Attorney W. O
Kieck and covers property that is
desirable is the large amount of
taxes is cleared up and the prop
erty sold and placed in the hands
of those who will see that the prop
erty taxes are paid.
The suit involves tracts of prop
erty in several parts of tho city,
including the lots at the corner of
Main and Richey streets, the land
occupied by the former Sharp ma
chine shops and the Alfa-Maize mill
on Third and Pearl streets as well
as two buildings on lower Main
street, one of which has been empty
for some time and the other one
which is ustd only by living apart
meats on the second floor of the
building. The last two buildings are
those known as the Pearlman build
ing and that elected by Peters &
Richards a number of years ago. An
other piece of property that is in
volved in the action is that at the
corner of Seventh and Main street.
It is hoped by these actions to
clear up the taxes cn the property
or at least to realize something of
the amount that is due the state,
county and city and to again make
the property one on which the regu
lar return of taxes may be expected
each year.

WASHOUTS DELAY TRAINS
Sunday the Burlington train ser
vice from the west was crippled by
the fact of washouts on the lines of
the road in western Nebraska, bad
storms in the vicinity of McCook
making it necessary to detour the
trains over other lines to Omaha and
causing several hours delay In the
east bound trains. Train No. 6, due
here at 7:15 was annulled owing to
the delay in the running time. This
part of the state escaped the storm
but enjoyed the wonderfully fine
cool weather that came as a great
relief after the extreme heated spell.

OF HIGH ORADE
OMAHA,
Stray Dogs
are Menace to
a Community
Rabies Not Caused by Lack of Water
or Hot Weather, But by a
Germ, Says Dr. Wilson.
Rabies in dogs is caused by a
germ and not by lack of water, hot
weather or teasing by children, says
Dr. W. II. Wilson, chief of the state
bureau of health, in answer to news
paper items. He says rabies is spread
by a rabid dog biting other dogs and
the disease is passed along. He
points out that a rabid dog will die
in ten days and thus confinement for
observation is urged. Delay in the
use of antirabic treatment by human
beings is fatal, he says.
Dr. Wilson said:
"Rabies in a dog or human is
caused by a specific virus or a germ,
just as is diptheria or typhoid fever
caused by the specific germs of those
diseases, and by nothing else.
"Rabies in the dog is not and can
not be caused by hot weather, lack
of water or being teased by children,
or by all of these combined. Rabies
is caused and perpetuated by a rabid
dog biting other dogs, thus passing
the disease along. Of course it is a
human act to give dogs water to
drink in hot weather or any other
time, but be assured the heat or lack
of water is not a factor in any way
in the cause of rabies.
"There are too many ownerless
dogs at large In this and other ci
ties. There should be none. The
stray dog should be at once cap
tured, as he i3 always a potential
menace. When anyone is bitten, the
dog that bit should be at once cap
tured and put in confinement and
observation. If such dog is rabic, in
a few days he will show definite
symptoms of the disease, and will die
inside of ten days. During this pe
riod, if the person bitten Is given
antirabic serum, he will almost sure
ly recover. If the treatment is de
layed until symptoms of rabies set
In, treatment is likely to be of no
avail.
"Lastly, get rid of stray dogs.
They are a menace. Do not lose sight
of the dog that has bitten." ,
