When you buy land or city lots,
you never pay out money unless the
title is good. Why don't you use the
same good judgement in buying life
insurance? Don't join mosquito com
panies, that will fall before your pol
icy matures. If you insure in the Old
New York Life your dividends reduce
your premiums so you pay less in the
end than in other companies and have
the protection of the largest and
strongest Life Insurance Conmpany in
the world. Mr. C. T. Taylor, a sen
ior Nylic, is now paying out New

icies he wrote twenty years ago.

Death of Congressman Latta.
James P. Latta, member of cong
ress from this district died Monday
evening at a hospital at Rochester,
Minnesota, where he had gone a few
weeks ago to submit to an operation
for gall stones, for several days after
the operaion it seemed that it would
prove successful, but last Saturday he
took a relapse, and grew steadily
worse until the end came Monday eve
ning.
He was born in Ohio October 31,
1844 and when two years of age came
with his parents to eastern Iowa,
where he remained until he was nine
teen years old, when he walked across
the state of Iowa and settled in Burt
county. He -was married in 1870,
and is survived by his wife and two
sons, one of whom is cashier of the
bank in which Mr. Latta owned a large
interest, and the other is manager
of the home farm near Tekamah.
He was elected to congress in 1908,
defeating Edgar Howard for the nom
ination after a bitterly contested
fight, and was re-elected in 1910, by
the largest majority ever given a
candidate in his disrict.
The funeral will be held fiom his
late home at Tekamah Friday and will
be attended by a committee of
congressmen appointed by the sergent-
at-arms of the house and the senate.
The house committee is to consist of
the entire delegations from Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado, besides Repre
sentatives Pep-er, of Iowa, Boher, of
Missouri, Floyd, of Arkansas, and
Davenport, Ferri and Carter, of Okla
homa. The personnel of the com
mittee from the senate has not yet
been made public.
The death of Mr. Latta makes it
necessary to elect a new member at
the fall election, and it is likely that
Governor Aldrich will issue a procla
mation to that effect within a few
oays.

Cross Eyes
Straightened
Without an
Operation!
Cross eye is nothing more or
less than misplaced or strain-,
ed eye muscles. By relieving
the muscle strain the eyes
soon resume their normal
position. This is especially
true in young folks. In the
grownups it takes longer, but
as long as vision remains in
the deviating eye, there is a
chance. I have made the
straightening of cross eyes a
specialty and the number of
cases I have cured will amply
bear out my statement that
no operation is necessary.

COURT?
NEWS
The court room was crowded this af
ternoon when the chairman of the
county board called the meeting to
order and announced that the citizens
had been called together to present
their views to the county board rela
tive to the matter of making arrange
ments for the building of a new court
house for Platte county. Supervisor
Dassenbrock, who has been the leader
in the matter from the start of the
present campaign, asked that the clerk
read the notice of the meeting, which
was done.
Chairman Schwarz announced that
the purpose of the meeting was not
to tell the people that a new court
house was needed, but rather how to
raise the necessary funds, by voting
bonds, or by a method of direct taxa
tion. Supervisor Dassenbrock thought
it might be well to find out first
whether the people favored the new
building, and then discuss ways and
means ol procuring it. He assured
the people that the board was willing
to do all in its power to give the peo
ple what they wanted, if they would
make their wants known.
G. Frischolz compared the present
building with the homes of the peo
ple as built for their own uses at the
time that it was built, saying that as
the people advanced in prosperity,
they built new houses and other build
ings to meet their demands and con
venience, and thought the same
would be aplicable in the matter of
public buildings. He then raised the
question as to the best method of rais
ing the necessary money, and referred
the question to County Attorney McEl
fresh. The county attorney said that he
had had occasion to look into the stat
utes thoroughly in this matter, and
found that the people might raise
money for this purpose in either of
two ways: By issuing bonds, carried by
a two-thirds vote, which was the
quicker of the two methods; or by
levying a direct tax. to do this re
quired the filing of a petition, signed
by one-fourth of the voters of the
county, and the board to call an elec
tion on the strength of this petition,
which would require a majority vote
to carry. The tax in such a case can
not exceed a levy of five mills on each
dollar, nor run more than five years.
He called attention to the fact that
at the last assessment, the total as
sessed valuation of Platte county was
about $7,500,000, which would make
it comparatively easy to raise the ne
cessary amount. At this juncture.
August Wagner presented a motion
that it was the sense of this assembl
age that a new court house should be
built. After some discussion as to
whether this motion was just in the
right place at this time, it was carried
by a rising vote, overwhelmingly.
The question of location was then
brought up, Ma. Drake, of Humphrey,
saying that the town or city securing
the court house should put up a bonus,
and offered to contribute $1,000 him
self if it should be removed to Humph
rey. Uther speakers also discussed
this phase of the matter, until finally
attorney Cornelius called attention to
the fact that the county could not
move the court house without first
voting to change the county seat. The
matter was then dropped.
Then came the question of just where
the court house should be located in
the city of Columbus, some insisting
that it shoudb be left just where it
is and others favoring a change.
County Attorney McElfresh and G.
W. Phillips were of the opinion that it
should be more centrally located, while
i..
H. Leavy, William Bucher and
Charles Segelke insisted that it was
in just exactly the proper location at
present.
J. E. North introduced a motion
recomending that tne board call an
electon to submit to the voters a pro
position to issue bonds in the sum of
$250,000 for the Luilding of a new
court house. On motion of August
Wagner his motion was amended to
limit the cost to $150,000. Mr.
North argued in support of his moth n
that while other counties snrrounding
us and which had a much lower as
sessed valnation, and fewer inhabitants
had public buildings from $100,000
to $150,000, Platte county with an
assessed valuation of nearly eight mill
ions of dollars and 20,000 inhabitants
ought not to limit the board to that
amount.
W: F. Gernandt, of Fairbury, an
architect making a specialty of de
signing plans for court houses, was
then introduced Mr. Gernandt is the
archetiect who designed the new
houses of Phelps, Pawnee, Dawson
and derrick counties. He advised
them that $150,000 would be ample
to provide a courthouse that would last
for generations, and would build an
absolutely fireproof building. He also
advised strongly against voting four
per cent bonds as they would not be
salable.

At
The German Picnic.
It was a big day big for the hosts,
big for the guests, and big for the
spectators. In fact, it was a bigger
day than many of our own people had
anticipated, notwithstanding the fact
that a vast amount of advertising had
been done. Even at an early hour in
the morning, people began to arrive,
and long before noon the streets were
lined with auomobiles and carriages,
and a special train had brought a large
crowd of enthusiastic people from Lin
coln and all the towns along the line,
besides the crowds that came by
the regular trains from east, west and
north.
Music for the day was furnished by
four bands, Columbus, Schuyler, Grand
Island and a German band from Lin
coln, and from the time they arrived
there was not an idle moment in the
day.
Promptly on time, at two o'clock,
the parade formed at Orpheus hall,
and headed by six mounted horsemen,
marched through the principal busi
ness streets, ending at Kopetzky's
park, where the exercises were held.
In the parade were the m&yor and city
council, the German societies of Col
umbus and visiting cities, the bands,
and a number of beautiful and attract
ive floats and decorated wagons, bug
gies, and automobiles. One of the
most attractive floats in the parade was
that of Friedhof & Co., in which a
half dozen young ladies dressed in
"her brother's clothes" were taking
a joy ride in the big Friedhof car, with
Miss Helen Howard at the wheel.
Another float worthy of special men
tion was that of the Gruetli society,
in which a number of young ladies took
part.
After arriving at' the grounds the
program was carried out pracically as
announced in advance, with the excep
tion of a portion of the musical part.
After the close of the literary program
everybody was turned loose to enjoy
themselves in whatever way they saw
fit, and judging from appearances,
everybody 'seemed to take a just ad
vantage of the opportunity.
