Raising Streams
Make Auto Travel
Very Difficult
Besses Operating Over K. of T. From
South as Well as All Travel
Forced to Use Detour
Ft em ThurndaVs Dally
Th fmall rivers and creeks ovrr
the state are on the Fpring raise
and making the matter of travel over
th highways that have bridges over
tbse stream a matter of consider
able difficulty and which will prob
ably grow worse in the next few
lays with the warming weather con
ditions.
The big and little Pappio creek:?
which Ftart in Douglas county and
wind all through Sarpy county to
empty into the Missouri river north
east of Ia Platte, is one of the
streams that is now reaching flood
tide and making things interesting
for those who have necessity of cross
ing this active little stream.
For the past forty-eight hours a
battle has been maintained at the
bridge over the Pappio on the K. of
T. highway to keep the stream open
and the ice moving off down tho
creek and with many gorges forming
and causing the flood waters to raise
back of these gorges. Formation of
a gorge southeast of the bridge yes
terday afternoon caused water to
reach the bridge and made necessary
the order to detour all travel to the
west.
The Cotner bus in making the
night trip back to this city had tc.
make a detour over the Sarpy hills
in order to reach this city as the
Pappio was raising from the Ice gro
ees and spreading out over the sur
rour.din country in a manner that
rendered travel far from pleasant.
Reports received here last night
stated that the Weeping Water creek
in the south part of Cass uounty
was also starting to raise an-
threatening to raise over the high
way at Union and being a flood tide
along the entire course of. the creek.
The breaking of a dyke on the
Pappio west of - Part Crook caused ,
the water to spread over the low
lands in that section and water rose
at midnight to almost reach the
Missouri Pacific railroad tracks and
was within a foot of the building
occupied by the poatoffice at Fort
Crook.
The residents on the farms in the
low lands along the Pappio valley
were compelled to leave their homes
-nd go to higher ground as the water
spread to almost a mile wide at
places and at the highway bridge
was three-quarters of a mile wide
and the flood water rushing along
on both' sides of the bridge cutting
it off from the north and south.
The water flowing over the high
way was from three to four foot
deep and water was also flowing
over the Papillion-Fort Crook road
last night and several autos were
rescued from the water rushing some
fou fuut deep over the highway.
BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
From Thursday' Dally
This morning in the county court
the preliminary hearing In the case
of the State of Nebraska vs. Henry
Lybyer, in which the defendant was
charged with having stolen chickens
of the value of $25 from the farm of
Charles Garrison at Union, was
heard. The question of identification
of the man arrested here was large
ly made on the testimony of Officer
Dave Pickrel and Paul Sitzman, who
Identified him as the man seen here
on midnight Monday, and also as be
ing the same party arrested at the
Missouri Pacfic station here early
Tuesday morning. Other testimony
was given as to the ownership of the
chickens and the arrests made here
by the local officers.
There was no testimony offered
by the defense and the only ques
tions raised by Attorney J. A. Cap
well for the defense was whether or
not the chickens had been stolen as
they had not been removed from the
Garrison place, also that the iden
tification of the prisoner as the man
sought had not been convincing.
After the conclusion of the evi
dence the court held that the show
ing made warranted the finding that
there had been a crime committed
and there was reasonable cause to
believe the prisoner was the man and
accordingly the defendant was bound
over to the district court for "trial at
the March term and the bond fixed
at 1,0 00, the trial by Jury to deter
mine the innocence or guilt of the
accused man.

Local Priest
Author of Work
on the Church
Rev. Father George Agius Has Work
That Has Attracted Much At
tention Among All Creeds
There are very few of the resident?
of this city aware of the fact that
there is an author of one of the best
known works on religious matters, &
resident of this community, this be
ing Father George Agius, D. D.. J.
C. D.. pastor of the St. John's Ro
man Catholic church.
Father Agius some years ago pre
pared a work on "Tradition and the
Church." a work that has been pub
lished at Boston and has attracted
much attention among the students
of religion and all faiths and creeds
"A review of this work, taken from
the Boston Transcript, one of the
largest daily papers of the country
devoted to study and review of the
best of literature, gives the following
review of this work on the christian
faith and its traditions:
"Dr. Agius presents here an able
and scholarly exposition of the place
of tradition in the development of
the church. His tenet is that Christ
has established agencies and author
ities other than the Scriptures, to
preserve, explain and propagate His
doctrines, and that this agency and
authority is tradition. Tradition,
therefore, may be said to be the
means of preserving Christian doc
trine in its integrity.
"He classifies tradition as written
or oral; dogmatic or disciplinary;
universal or local; obligatory or ad
visory; constitutional or inhesive and
divine or ecclesiastical. Divine or
dominical tradition relates to matters
of faith, while ecclesiastical or apos
tolic tradition is concerned with ds-
cipline. In explaining the scope of
divine tradition. Dr. Agius gives a
very clear interpretation of the doc
trine of apostolic succession and the
necessity of accepting this universally
before one can prove or disprove
tradition. When difference of opinion
exist a to tradition it signifies that
on such, points the ultimate truth has
not yet been revealed.
'Universal tradition is of course
more acceptable than local tradition
and is a necessary attribute of univer
sal faith. Unity of faith depends on
the living and continuous authority
of the church and this is tradition
as supplementary to the Scriptures
which cannot of themselves achieve
unity of faith. In every century of
the history of the church. Tradiition
has been manifest through super
natural means by church histories,
general councils, writings of the
fathers, Liturgies, monuments of
Christian art such as painting, sculp
ture, crypts, epitaphs, catacombs in
all of which are to be found evi
dences of the first Christians and
which contain in one way or another.
the word of God and manifest the
identity of the faith and doctrines
of the first church with that of the
present day.
"Dr. Agius has made an earnest
effort to make clear to Catholics and
Protestants alike the teachings of the
church on this doctrine of vital im
portance in matters doctrinal."

two days of reaching the century

Commissioners
Approvej Gravel
Petition Filed
Plattsmonth Chamber of Commerce
Aids in Gravel Work With
Pledge to Assist in Cost
From Thursday's Daily
This afternoon the last barrier be
tween the successful culmination of
the graveling program in Platts
mouth precinct was removed when
the members of the Plattsmouth
Chamber of Commerce pledged the
assistance of the local civic body
and the financial aid necessary to
guarantee the sum of $2,250. which
amount was necessary over thv
amount that could be raised bv taxa
tion for the purpose of graveling.
The program outlined was for a
four mill levy for the precinct but
this could not be carried out under
the law and it was necessary to set
the levy at three mills and the
Plattsmouth Chamber of Commercf
came through to help out the pro
gram with the guarantee to the
county that the sum in excess of
that raised by the levy would be
forthcoming to provide the precinct's
half of the fifty-fifty gravel proposi
tion. This removes the only delay and
will permit the board. of commis
sioners to go ahead and approve Uie
resolution and petition and which
was done at the session of the board
this afternoon and now this precinct
will take its place with the other
live wire communities of the county
that have secured their part of the
gravel extension.
