OBJECT TO CLOSED
season ON STURGEON

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DELAWARE CITY. Del. March Il.
Sturgeon fishermen Of this section
are stirred up over the plan TO have
the season closed for Eve years on the
Delaware river. No action I'm the past
few years has stirred up so much
protest as the proposed plan to put an
end 10 the sturgeon fishing.
To begin with a mistaken impress
sion has been gained by some people
that tho sturgeon fishing industry on
the Delaware river Is doomed. On the
contrary, the season last year was the
best in the past fifteen years. Fish
erman claim that there were more
sturgeon I'm the river than in years.
Closing tho season does not seem
to get at the solution Of the problem
at all The most serious thing which
affects tho sturgeon industry on the
Delaware river is the continual pour
ing Of refuse into the river from the
many industrial plants along the
riverfront from this place to Phlla-
delphia bn both sides of the river.
Tho pouring Of this refuse into the
river kills the fish in very largo num-
hers.

SPR|NGMEYER
co. BUYS BONDS
Subscribes for $4,000 Worth of
Bonds and is Largest Indi-
vidual Subscriber

AS fas as Is known the honor for
the largest purchase of Liberty
Bonds in this county goes to the
II. II. Springmeyer Land Develop
ment and Live Stock company of
which II. H. Springmeyer is the head.
The amount of the purchase was
$4,000 made through Carson bank
by Mr.. Springmeyer whose home is In
that city. We are reliably informed
that the purchase will be credited to
Douglas county, from the fact that
the farm holdings Of the company are
within this county.
Aside from bond purchases made by
railway companies and large corpora
tions. this is the largest bond pur-
chase In this or Ormsby county, and
speaks in most emphatic manner of
the loyalty of Mr.. Springmeyer and
other members OF the Springmeyer
company. They are backing up their
country with dollars in most lib
eral way. and their splendid example
is one that will long be remembered
by every true American.

AGED LADY
TAKEN AWAY

Last Sunday morning the angels
carried the soul of a very faithful
and devout christian heavenward. 1t
was the soul of Mrs. Augusta Nacht-
sheim, mother of Mrs. F. H. Menzel.
When Rev. Menzel and wife made
a trip to Milwaukee about seven years
ago, they decided to take the mother
TO Nevada In order to care for her in
her advanced age. Three years ago
the aged lady passed through very
serious illness which greatly impaired
her mind TO the extent that she had to
be committed to the state hospital for
mental diseases. Up to this time,
Mrs. Menzel, in truly sacrificing
manner, tried to take car of her In
her own home. But In spite of all
that was done and could be done,
commitment to the institution became
necessary.
The deceased had reached the age
of 76 years. Funeral services were
conducted in Reno, Rev. Martens Of
heating, reviewing in touching and
comforting manner the life of the de-
parted.
Monday evening, Mrs. Menzel, ac-
companied by Mrs. Henry Godecke,
left for Milwaukee with the remains
where funeral services will again be
conducted at st. Stephan's Lutheran
Church, of which the deceased had
been a member nearly all her life.
Her old pastor, Rev. B. Sievers will
have charge of these services. There
upon she will be placed at rest by
the side of her husband who preceded
her into eternity about 26 years ago.
Besides her daughter, Mrs. Menzel,
she leaves in this world to mourn her
loss, but also to join in her happiness,
her two sons, Rev. e. G. Nachtsheim
and Louis Nachtsheim at Minneapolis.
