From Thursday's Dally
The hot weather held down attend
ance at today's Chamber of Commerce
luncheon the first held in three
weeks due to an extra Thursday in
July to an even score of Bhirt
sleeved diners, but that did not pre
vent what was expected to be a quiet
and uneventful meeting from becom
ing an intensely interesting round
table discussion of a subject that is
of much concern in Plattsmouth at
this time namely the natural gas
rates to be charged consumers of this
new product now piped to our very
door.
The subject was introduced by
President Wescott and various mem
bers heard in an expression of their
viewpoints on the matter.
The rates outlined by officials of
the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
as applicable to this city were com
pared with the rates being charged
in nearby cities of this size, as well
as with the rates submitted by the
same company for users in Lincoln
It was generally conceded that the
matter of granting a franchise to the
United Gas Service company, whose
source of supply will be the new line
now being started this way from the
Oklahoma and Kansas fields and
which will also cross the river near
this city en route to Chicago, will
come before the council for action at
its meeting next Monday night. This
same company was recently granted
a franchise in Glenwood, following a
special election, and their proposal
is to serve Plattsmouth consumers
with gas at the same rates they are
to charge in Glenwood, namely, 90c
for the first 1.000 feet, with a grad
ually declining scale for succeeding
thousands, up to 7,000 feet, and all
excess consumption over that figure
at 60c per thousand.
The Iowa-Nebraska com pany's pro
posed scale of rates fcrr Plattsmouth
Includes a 50c per month service
charge, plus 1.35 per 1000 feet for
the first two thousand, SI per 1,000
for the next three, and 60c per 1,000
for all in excess of 5,000 cubic feet.
After a great deal of discussion as
to the economy of burning gas for
home heating, a motion was made
by H. A. Schneider that the Chamber
of Commerce directorate urge the
city council to use all diligence in
consideration of the matter and then
grant a franchise to the company
making the best price.
The council has had the natural
gas matter up in its meetings as a
whole, as well as numerous meetings
of its judiciary committee during the
past week, having held over for third
reading and final passage the ordi
nance that would grant a non-exclusive
franchise to the United Gas Ser
vice company since early In May, to
permit of well advised and sane ac
tion when it votes on the matter,
which in all probability will be at
Its next meeting Monday night.
$100 Voted Co. Extension Program
A contribution of $100 to help de
fray the expenses of an assistant
county extension agent, who has been
very active in promulgating club
work in this part of the county, was
given approval as well as a like ex
penditure for the purchase of space
in a special Highway 34 issue of the
Des Moines Register and Leader to
be issued in the near future when
the paving across Iowa over that
route is completed and the road open
ed to travel its entire length.
Other detail business occupied but
a few minutes time, and adjournment
came at the usual hour.
SHIP ICE HERE
From Thursdays Darty
Last night a carload of ice was
received here to be used in the sup
plying of the demands on the local
ice plant of the Iowa-Nebraska Light
& Power Co. The excessive and con
tinued hot weather of the last month
has kept the local plant operating
day and night to supply the demands
made on it and even at this it has
been difficult to supply the patrons
of this city and the nearby country
side as well as many from Iowa. The
carload of ice was unloaded by the
McMaken Transfer Co., and the stock
will give the local ice plant the op
portunity of getting a normal sup
ply on hand for the patrons. The
hot weather has made Heavy demands
for Ice in all of the cities and ice
plants have found it very difficult
to anyways near fill the demands for
its products.
HAS FINE LITTLE DAUGHTER
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Distell are re
joicing over the arrival In their fam
ily circle of a fine little daughter,
born Sunday at the hospital at Oma
ha. The mother and little one are
doing nicely and the occasion has
brought much joy to the father and
the little sisters and brother. The
many friends of the family will join
in their well wishes for the future
and success and happiness of the lit
tle Miss.
CANDIDATE VISITS THE CITY
From Thursday's Dally
Elmer B. Chapman, of near Union
who is the democratic candidate for
county commissioner in. the second
district, was in the city today to visit
with his friends and becoming ac
quainted with the residents here
Mr. Chapman is unopposed at the
primary and will have time from
now until the fall to meet the voters
of the county. He is a farmer and
has made his home near Union and
has lived his lifetime in that local
ity, having been born just south of
that place in Otoe county. He is a
very genial and able gentleman and
well qualified in every way for the
office that he is seeking.
Most Direct
Route for U.S. 34
is Thru Here
Paved Highway From Chicago tc
Glenwood Finds Natural Route
Ovei Local Bridge.
There has been some talk in the
last few days of the routing of high
way No. 34 in the state of Iowa, south
from the present terminus of the road
at Glenwood, to Hamburg and thence
to Nebraska City, instead of the pi es
ent route north through Council
Bluffs and Omaha.
In this connection it might be well
for those who are interested in the
highway to note that the most log
ical route for the highway is as near
straight west as possible, crossing
the Missouri river at Plattsmouth and
from where easy routes to both Oma
ha; and Lincoln can be secured. There
are three routes from this city to
the west, the Louisville-Greenwood
road, the Red Ball highway at Mur
ray and the "O" street road from
Union, all of these being available to
the traveler who might wish to visit
the capitol city of Nebraska Lin
coin.
To the traveler wishing to go to
Omaha there is a paved highway that
takes the traveler to the metropolis
Just eighteen miles from this city.
Why a highway should be routed
from twenty to thirty miles out of
the way when a straight roadway is
available, that will serve better every
need of the traveling public, is hard
to understand. The extension of No.
34 through Plattsmouth means the
shortest and most direct route to
either Lincoln or Omaha from the
east and is the natural path of the
highway on its way westward across
the great state of Nebraska.
FUNERAL OF MRS. PEOPLES

A short service was held with the
reading of selections from St. John
and the message of the scriptures
brought peace and comfort to the
members of the family circle and
the old friends.
During the services Miss Mildred
Hall and Miss Florene Tritsch gave
two of the old hymns, "Jesus Savior
Pilot Me" and "God Be With You
'Till We Meet Again."

John and Ann King was born in Jay
county. Indiana, Dec. 27th, 1844, died

ways faithful to her family and
friends.

Rainfall is.
Great Boon to
Nebraska
Rain Wednesday Afternoon Is Gen
eral Over the Central and West
ern Parts of State
A rainfall of .63 of an Inch late
yesterday afternoon brought a great
relief to crops, pastures and the resi
dents of this section of Nebraska,
while the rain was not as heavy as
had been hoped for by the farmers
it was very helpful in breaking the
drouth that has existed here for
many weeks.
The storm was quite general over
the central and eastern sections of
the state, Lincoln and the territory
east receiving about the same rain
fall as here while in the extreme
northeast and southeast sections o?
the state the rain was much heavier.
Corn will benefit very much by the
rain and while the crop in this sec
tion is damaged already to a greater
or less extent, the moisture in the
soil has aided in withstanding the
hot dry weather, the greatest loss
being caused by two days of hot
winds that cooked much of the corn.
The rain freshened up all vegeta
tion and v. ill aid in the reviving of
the pastures in this section that have
grown brown and parched by the ef
fects of the long hot and dry weather.
UNDERGOES OPERATION

Isaac Cecil is
Laid to the
Last Long Rest
Funeral Services of Long Time Eesi
dent Held at Home in West
Part of City.
The funeral services of Isaac Cecil,
long time resident of the city, were
held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
the home in the west part of the city
where for so many years the deceased
had made his home and where happy
years of life had been measured in
the associations with the loved ones
The services were simple and very
impuessive, Rev. Clifford Cecil of
Corydon, Iowa, a son, giving the
scripture lesson with the prayer by
Rev. Potter of Moorehead, Iowa. The
short sermon and tribute to the de
parted was given by Rev. H. G. Mc
Clusky, pastor of the First Presby
terian church of this city.
During the service the male quar
tet composed of L. D. Hiatt, Frank
A. Cloidt, R. W. Knorr and H. G.
McClusky gave two of the loved songs
of the departed, "Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere" and "The Home of the
Soul."
Following the services the body
was laid to the last long rest in the
Oak Hill cemetery.
Isaac Cecil was born September 17,
1857 at Peru, Illinois, the youngest
son of Isaac and Amanda Cecil. His
early life was spent in Hennepin,
Illinois, from which place he came to
Nebraska in 1877. He stopped first
at Nebraska City, coming on to
Plattsmouth the following year and
where he has since lived.
On October 15, 1896 at Platts
mouth he was married to Margaret
Josephine Creamer. To them were
born three children, two sons, Clif
ford Isaac of Corydon, Iowa, and Har-
ley Francis of Denver, Colorado, and
one daughter, Florence Mae Ruther
ford of Cedar Creek, Nebraska. The
wife and children survive.
Two brothers, Jasper of Hennepin,
111., and Stephen D. of Plattsmouth
and one sister, Mrs. V. M. Mullis also
of Plattsmouth have preceded him ia
death.
His death occurred suddenly on
August 5, 1930, in Plattsmouth, Ne
braska at the age of 72 years, 10
months and 18 days.
WATCHING STOP SIGNS
Acting on the instructions of the
city council, the police department
is busy checking up the matter of
the observance of the stop signs on
the streets of the city, acting as a
matter of safety to the drivers of
cars and their passengers, who may
drive into one of the heavy traveled
through streets without stopping and
cause a bad wreck with the result of
damage or death.
The city has had the warning
'Stop" painted on the paving at
Main and Sixth street in addition to
the other stop signs, this being one
of tbe heaviest points for travel in
the city as here the greater part of
the local travel passes as well as
the heavy -traffic over highway No.
75 from the north and south and
, the east and west travel that comes
over highway 34 and the Missouri
river bridge.
It is noticeable that there is little
attention paid to the stop signs in
the residential sections and cars race
out into the line of travel of high
way 75, making a menace to the
travelers and also the streets that
lead into the main traveled streets
of the business section are also suf
fering from this practice.
The police department is wholly
inadequate to attempt any handling
of the traffic on the streets in the
residential section, but the travelers
should safeguard themselves by prac
ticing Safety First.
