ASK LICENSE RULE CHANGE
Omaha County treasurers of Ne
braska, in convention here Wednes
day, passed a resolution asking the
legislature to change the automobile
registration law to make 2,800
pounds instead of 2,700 pounds, the
weight at which licenses on passen
ger cars are stepped up from $8 to
$12.
Action of the treasurers followed
a talk by F. H. Hanson of the Doug
las county automobile registration de
partment, who advocated the change
because, he said, there are a large
number of cars weighing between
2,700 and 2,800 pounds, and he
holds it unfair to ask these owners
to pay $4 more than those with car
weighing only slightly less.

A match carelessly thrown
aside may come in contact
with an explosive and cause
tremendous loss. Causes of
explosion are often matters
of negligence. Danger may
be minimized with care.

Death of Well
Known Resident
of Nehawka
Nicholas Opp, Pioneer of Cass and
uioe counties, Dies at
Age of 73
Nicholas Opp, one of the oldest
and best known citizens of this com
munity answered life's summons
Tuesday evening. March 11th at
nine o'clock. Mr. Opp was born at
Weiderhouser, near Coblenz, Ger
many on April 13, 1865. In April
1868, when twelve yeara of age he
carne with his parents to Cass coun
ty, Nebraska.' When sixteen years
of age he was confirmed in the Ger
man Evangelical church of which
he ha3 since been a member. Febru
ary 5, 1882, he was united in mar
riage to Emma Keil at Factoryville,
a village formerly located a few
miles southeast of Nehawka but now
extinct.
Shortly after his marriage he and
his wife went to Duel county .Ne
braska, where they proved up on a
homestead and remained about fif
teen years. Family ties and eastern
Nebraska held the stronger bonds
for them, and they returned to Ne
hawka in 1900. Here they took over
the old Opp homestead about a mile
east of town where they remained
until four years ago when they mov
ed to town where they might find
their work less strenuous. Their
farm life had been a hard one at
times, especially while homesteading.
and the four years spent in town
were a period of rest, well deserved
Eight children were born to this
union, two passing away while in
their infancy. . Those surviving are
Dora Katherine Ausmus. Eston,
Sasketchewan. Canada: Stella Marie
Boedeker, Council Bluffs, la.; Ralph
Nicholas Opp, Union, Nebr.; Arthur
Earl at home; Gertrude Emma Wurl
burger, Casper, Wyoming and Lydia
Viola Hansen, Nehawka. Ralph,
Earl and Mrs. Hansen were with
their father when he passed away.
Mrs. Boedeker reached here a few
minutes later and Mrs. Wurlburger
arrived here Wednesday for the fun
erai. Mrs. Ausmus was unable to be
here for the funeral but spent the
winter here, returning to her home
in Canada about two weeks ago
These with the wife, a life long
companion and one brother, Peter,
of Nehawka, and a large group of
grandchildren, and a host of other
relatives, neighbors and friends are
left to mourn the loss of a loved one.
For the past two years he had
experienced failing health and eye
sight, no doubt due to declining
years. At times he was very low, but
would rally and be about again at
Intervals. The last' severe attack
occurred the latter part of last week
and from that time he continued to
gTow worse until his death.
Funeral services were held from
the home, this Thursday afternoon"
at one-thirty o'clock, being con
ducted by the Rev. W. A. Taylor of
Union. Interment was made in
Mount Pleasant cemetery north of
town. Nehawka Enterprise.
