Mrs. John Wey
rich is Called to
Last Long Rest
Peacefully Sinks Into the Final
Slumber at the Family Home
on Sunday Afternoon.
On Sunday afternoon at 3:50 at
the family home on Granite street.
Mrs. John Weyrich, a loved and es
teemed resident of this city for the
past forty-three years, was called to
the last long rest, her passing com
ing at the close of an illness that has
kept her hedfast since March 18th,
and in the last few davs she has
gradually sank into the Bleep that
knows no awakening.
Emile Seidler. daughter of Edward
and Barbara Seidler, was born Octo
ber 9, 1859. at Matamora, Illinois,
where the family had been early set
tlers. When but a child of tender
years the family removed to Pekin,
Illinois, where she made her home in
the childhood and early womanhood.
In 1879. she was united in marriage
to John Weyrich, and the family in
the year 1887 came to Plattsmouth
where they have since made their
home. In her life here Mrs. Weyrich
has made many warm friends by her
beautiful and Christian life, her love
and solicitude for her family circle
and the home that she loved bo dear
ly and where her presence will be
so sadly missed now that she has been
called away. In her family Mrs. Wey
rich found her life work and their
care was her greatest concern, and
the children in the years have loved
and cherished the mother, minister
ing to her every want and with all
of an overflowing love caring for her
last needs as life's lamp burned its
flickering flame to a close. Mrs. Wey
rich was a member of the First Pres
byterian church of this city and also
of Home chapter No. 189 of the Order
of the Eastern Star. The family
circle was first broken by death when
on October 9, 1928, the husband and
father, John Weyrich, was called to
his reward.
The deceased lady is subvived by
three children. Emil. Clara and Alice,
all at home. Her only brother, Aug
ust Seidler, preceded her In death in
1911.

Councilmanic Candidates Are Few
and Promise a Very Light
Vote Tuesday
The final time for filing candidates
or for withdrawals in the city cam
paign has now passed and the bal
lots that will be used are now in
the process of printing and finds f r
the first time in many years a situ;
tion where there are few candidat3:
for the office of councilman in the
several wards.
The city conventions named their
quoto of candidates with the excep
tion of a democratic nominee in the
fourth ward, but several of these
have since decided to withdraw and
enjoy peace of mind and only per
sonal troubles to disturb the usual
daily grind.
In the first ward Carl Kunsmann
veteran councilman, who has been
out of the harness for the past year
has again been placed in the field
by the democrats and is unopposed
as Searl S. Davis, named by the re
publicans, has declined, he having
not been present when the nomina
tion was made and was named with
out his knowledge or consent.
The second wart - .- one of the two
wards where there will be a content.
Claude C. Smith, present councilman
and president of that body, being the
democratic candidates while John T.
Tidball, a former councilman, will
be the candidates of the republicans

publican candidate as Henrv Lutz.

and left the road to the council open
to his successor.
A NEW KING OF JAG
The police who have had exper
iences in the past with jags of all
kinds that have been arrested by
them, have had a new experience and
one that opens a new field of activity
to those who would become "lit up"
and at the same time still not be vio
lators of the famous Volstead act.
The police took in a party that was
to all intents and purposes in a very
advanced state of ineberation, one
that seemingly would have required
many flagons of the forbidden bever
ages, only to discover that there was
the absence of the smell of liquor
altho all of the outward symptoms of
intoxication was present. An investi
gation was made and it was found
that the party had acquired the con-
dition that he was in by the use
.veronal tablets, used ordinarily as
ol
as a
MhHa hut whir hin this rasp served
matter of disposing of the case is
still engrossing the court as the case
opens a new line ot tecnnical jags.
While it takes many
a glass oi me
various liquors to acquire a skate as
artistic as this, the police state that
a few pills and the victim is lit up
not unlike a lighthouse or Fred Rea s
electric sub-station.
ENJOYS VISIT HERE

Mrs. T. B. Bates was the scene of a
very pleasant family gathering, Mrs.
Guy French, of Kansas City, sister

The memoers ot the local Rotary
club last evening had the pleasure of
the presence of the Rotary Anns at
their meeting, this being the fifth
Tuesday and which date is made the
occasion of having as guests the
ladies of the members.
The hall had been very tastefully
arranged in the Rotary colors ot" pur
ple and gold and which color scheme
was carried out in the table decor
ations and made a very handsome
setting for the evening of enjoyment.
The members of the Catholic
Daughters of America had c harge of
the supper and had prepared and
served a most delightful menu that
was enjoyed to the utmost by t Me
members of the c lub and their ladie
The meeting was called to order
by President William Baird of tbe
Rotary and after the routine matters
had been disposed of and the Rotary
songs given, the president called Mrs.
Baird to take charge of the pro
gram. The ladies had arranged a very
pleasant and happy program for the
evening and one that had the usual
fun features to keep the members
of the party in the rarest good humor
as the puns at the expense of the
members of Rotary were offered.
The evening was featured by the
Rotary Ann quartet, a very talented
group of ladies who gave some most
delightful numbers and which were
very much enjoyed, this quartet be
ing composed of Mrs. E. H. Wescott.

were received with the greatest en
thusiasm by the members of the
party.

given by the Rev. C. O. Troy, pastor

along the work of Rotary and its
ideals for international peace and the
greater growth of the friendship of
man.
NO TRACK SPORTS
The Plattsmouth high school stu
dents who had planned on enjoying
a season of track and field sports for
the spring season, seemingly are to
face a disappointment owing to the
fact that the athletic field on which
thev were to hold the event is still
j occupied by the Smith Brothers' large
tractors and other heavy equipment
that are being repaired at this place.
The local school has some very prom
ising candidates for track work this
year, but who will not be able to
demonstrate their skill apparently,
on account of the lack of the proper
place for practice or holding meets.
Chet Wiles, one of the best short
heat men that the school has pro
duced in a number of years is to com
plete his work this year as is Gar-
Hand McCleary, high jump star and
John Galloway, local miler and two
mile racer. A number had planned to
join in the different field and track
sports this season but will have to
abandon this feature of the school
program for this year.

Officers' Task
Proves a Very
Unpleasant One
Serving Writ of Restitution and Divi
ricn of Property on Farm
Near Murdcck
The role of the officer of the law
is always more or lew? of an un
pleasant one, but yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Rex Young and Constable Torn
Svcboda had a Job that was one that
excelled all others in its disagreeable
features and one that kept the offi
eara buy from eight in the morning
until eight at n'rght.
I The officers had a writ of i est tui
tion to serve on a tenant farmer near
Alurdoek. the land owner having se
cured the order to have the tenant
moved from the farm and the divi
sion of the property of the tenant and
that of the land owner and which in
cluded a great deal of personal prop
erty of the two parties.
The officers took wiih them Chet
Smith and George Pick oi this city
and secured the services of John
Gerdes of that locality as well as
Mr. Lake, the land owner. Among
the property was some seventeen head
of hogs' and the officers and their
assistants raced through the mud and
mire of the hog yard dividing the
pigs according to the ownership of
the same and then had the almost
equally tough proposition of captur
ing and dividing the number ( f chick
ens on the place in the proper shares.
A large array of machinery and tools
and many small articles were hand
led and it was after the shades of
night had fallen that the party com
pleted their tasks according to the
demand of the law and had the ten
ant's property placed along (he road
and separated from that of the land
owner.
It is needless to say that in addi
tion to the hard and disapreeable
work the officers are but human and
hate to dispossess anyone from their
dwelling place, but had no choice
as the law says go to it when the
court issues the necessary' orders.
However Rex and Tom are hoping
that this form of labor will not occur
again soon.
