Death of Congressman Latta.James P. Latta, member of cong-

ress from this district died Mondayevening at a hospital at Rochester,Minnesota, where he had gone a fewweeks ago to submit to an operationfor gall stones, for several days afterthe operaion it seemed that it wouldprove successful, but last Saturday hetook a relapse, and grew steadilyworse until the end came Monday evening.

He was born in Ohio October 31,1844 and when two years of age camewith his parents to eastern Iowa,where he remained until he was nine-teen years old, when he walked acrossthe state of Iowa and settled in Burtcounty. He --was married in 1870,and is survived by his wife and twosons, one of whom is cashier of thebank in which Mr. Latta owned a largeinterest, and the other is managerof the home farm near Tekamah.

He was elected to congress in 1908,defeating Edgar Howard for the nomination after a bitterly contestedfight, and was ed in 1910, bythe largest majority ever given acandidate in his disrict.

The funeral will be held fiom hislate home at Tekamah Friday and willbe attended by a committee ofcongressmen appointed by the sergent- -at-ar- of the house and the senate.The house committee is to consist ofthe entire delegations from Nebraska,Kansas and Colorado, besides Repre-sentatives Pep-er- , of Iowa, Boher, ofMissouri, Floyd, of Arkansas, andDavenport, Ferri and Carter, of Okla-homa. The personnel of the com-

mittee from the senate has not yetbeen made public.

The death of Mr. Latta makes itnecessary to elect a new member atthe fall election, and it is likely thatGovernor Aldrich will issue a procla-mation to that effect within a fewoays.

Cross Eyes

StraightenedWithout an

Operation!

Cross eye is nothing more orless than misplaced or strain-- ,ed eye muscles. By relievingthe muscle strain the eyessoon resume their normalposition. This is especiallytrue in young folks. In thegrownups it takes longer, butas long as vision remains inthe deviating eye, there is achance. I have made thestraightening of cross eyes aspecialty and the number ofcases I have cured will amplybear out my statement thatno operation is necessary.

COURT?tSEtSsT NEWS

The court room was crowded this afternoon when the chairman of thecounty board called the meeting toorder and announced that the citizenshad been called together to presenttheir views to the county board rela-tive to the matter of making arrange-ments for the building of a new courthouse for Platte county. SupervisorDassenbrock, who has been the leaderin the matter from the start of thepresent campaign, asked that the clerkread the notice of the meeting, whichwas done.

Chairman Schwarz announced thatthe purpose of the meeting was notto tell the people that a new courthouse was needed, but rather how toraise the necessary funds, by votingbonds, or by a method of direct taxa-tion. Supervisor Dassenbrock thoughtit might be well to find out firstwhether the people favored the newbuilding, and then discuss ways andmeans ol procuring it. He assuredthe people that the board was willingto do all in its power to give the peo-

ple what they wanted, if they wouldmake their wants known.

G. Frischolz compared the presentbuilding with the homes of the peo-ple as built for their own uses at thetime that it was built, saying that asthe people advanced in prosperity,they built new houses and other build-ings to meet their demands and con-

venience, and thought the samewould be aplicable in the matter ofpublic buildings. He then raised thequestion as to the best method of rais-ing the necessary money, and referredthe question to County Attorney McEl-fres- h.

The county attorney said that hehad had occasion to look into the statutes thoroughly in this matter, andfound that the people might raisemoney for this purpose in either oftwo ways: By issuing bonds, carried bya two-thir- ds vote, which was thequicker of the two methods; or bylevying a direct tax. to do this re-

quired the filing of a petition, signedby one-four- th of the voters of thecounty, and the board to call an elec-

tion on the strength of this petition,which would require a majority voteto carry. The tax in such a case cannot exceed a levy of five mills on eachdollar, nor run more than five years.He called attention to the fact thatat the last assessment, the total as-

sessed valuation of Platte county wasabout $7,500,000, which would makeit comparatively easy to raise the ne-

cessary amount. At this juncture.August Wagner presented a motionthat it was the sense of this assembl-age that a new court house should bebuilt. After some discussion as towhether this motion was just in theright place at this time, it was carriedby a rising vote, overwhelmingly.

The question of location was thenbrought up, Ma. Drake, of Humphrey,saying that the town or city securingthe court house should put up a bonus,and offered to contribute $1,000 him-

self if it should be removed to Humphrey. Uther speakers also discussedthis phase of the matter, until finallyattorney Cornelius called attention tothe fact that the county could notmove the court house without firstvoting to change the county seat. Thematter was then dropped.

Then came the question of just wherethe court house should be located inthe city of Columbus, some insistingthat it shoudb be left just where itis and others favoring a change.County Attorney McElfresh and G.W. Phillips were of the opinion that itshould be more centrally located, whilei.. H. Leavy, William Bucher andCharles Segelke insisted that it wasin just exactly the proper location atpresent.

J. E. North introduced a motionrecomending that tne board call anelecton to submit to the voters a pro-

position to issue bonds in the sum of$250,000 for the Luilding of a newcourt house. On motion of AugustWagner his motion was amended tolimit the cost to $150,000. Mr.North argued in support of his moth nthat while other counties snrroundingus and which had a much lower as-

sessed valnation, and fewer inhabitantshad public buildings from $100,000to $150,000, Platte county with anassessed valuation of nearly eight mill-ions of dollars and 20,000 inhabitantsought not to limit the board to thatamount.

W: F. Gernandt, of Fairbury, anarchitect making a specialty of de-

signing plans for court houses, wasthen introduced Mr. Gernandt is thearchetiect who designed the newhouses of Phelps, Pawnee, Dawsonand derrick counties. He advisedthem that $150,000 would be ampleto provide a courthouse that would lastfor generations, and would build anabsolutely fireproof building. He alsoadvised strongly against voting fourper cent bonds as they would not besalable.

"Ironclad" Paint andordinary barn paints (made oflow-gra- de materials) receive prac-tically no grinding, and are neces-sarily coarse and gritty. Thiscoarse mixture is so hard to applythat a painter will wear out agood brush in attempting to spreadit properly. Furthermore, threegallons of such mixture will notcover as well, or go as far, as twogallons of B. P. S. Barn and RoofPaint, nor wear nearly as long.

At

The German Picnic.It was a big day big for the hosts,

big for the guests, and big for thespectators. In fact, it was a biggerday than many of our own people hadanticipated, notwithstanding the factthat a vast amount of advertising hadbeen done. Even at an early hour inthe morning, people began to arrive,and long before noon the streets werelined with auomobiles and carriages,and a special train had brought a largecrowd of enthusiastic people from Lin-coln and all the towns along the line,besides the crowds that came bythe regular trains from east, west andnorth.

Music for the day was furnished byfour bands, Columbus, Schuyler, GrandIsland and a German band from Lin-coln, and from the time they arrivedthere was not an idle moment in theday.

Promptly on time, at two o'clock,the parade formed at Orpheus hall,and headed by six mounted horsemen,marched through the principal business streets, ending at Kopetzky'spark, where the exercises were held.In the parade were the m&yor and citycouncil, 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 themost attractive floats in the parade wasthat of Friedhof & Co., in which ahalf dozen young ladies dressed in"her brother's clothes" were takinga joy ride in the big Friedhof car, withMiss 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 tookpart.

After arriving at' the grounds theprogram was carried out pracically asannounced in advance, with the excep-tion of a portion of the musical part.After the close of the literary programeverybody was turned loose to enjoythemselves in whatever way they sawfit, and judging from appearances,everybody 'seemed to take a just ad-

vantage of the opportunity.
