In Honor of the Fcrty-Sixth An
niversary of Lee's Surrender
The members of McConhie Post,
Grand Army of the Republic, cele
brated the forty-sixth anniversary of
tiie surrender of General Lee, commander-in-chief
of the Confederate
army, at their barracks in this city
last Saturday evening.
A splendid program had been pre
pared, consisting of addresses, read
ings and music, which, with the ela
borate supper served, combined to
make the occasion one of the most
enjoyable ever held in the city. The
women of the Relief Corps were
present and served the banquet, the
menu including every conceivable dish
to tempt the appetite, including hot
beans and hot coffee.
The program was taken up after
the transaction of the usual routine
business of the post. An address by
Hon. R. B. Windham on the "Far
Reaching Effects of the Surrender of
Lee," was given. Mr. Windham made
a strong and stirring speech on the
wonderful things which has been ac
complished by this government and
its people during the past forty-six
years. Mr. Windham was at the
front when the event took place ,and
he has been a leading character in the
development of the country since the
close of the war, and he was especial
ly well equipped to discuss the topic
assigned him, and his address re
ceived many favorable comments from
those present.
A reading which was much enjoyed
by the company was one given by
Miss Maude Kuhney, and was of
Benedict Arnold's bravery before he
became a traitor. Miss Stenner sang
a very beautiful solo, which was en
eored. One of the pleasant features of the
evening was the eloquent address of
Mrs. J. E. Vandercook, who spoke on
the subject of "Patriotism." Mrs.
Vandercook is a very talented lady
and her speech was listened to with
the greatest of interest by old and
young alike. Mrs. Vandercook's ad
dress was followed by the solo,
"Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground," sang by Miss Helen Chap
man. Miss Helen Windham gave a
reading which was well received.
HAVE KID SAFETY DEPOSIT
VAULTS FORSEVERAL TERRS
President C. C. Parmele, in con
versation with a Journal reporter this
forenoon, says the electrical burglar
alarm is a great protection to a bank,
and that his bank has used one for
the past several years. In fact, the
Bank of Cass County was the first
bank in Nebraska to put this par
ticular kind in a bank. His bank also
has the steel lined safety deposit vault
and boxes, with over 200 of the safety
deposit boxes in use by customers of
the bank. The Bank of Cass County
has had safety deposit boxes for rent
for several years.

IK JE LAW
The Law Pretty Much the Same
a Originally Prepared by
Dan Geilus
The Lincoln Journal says that Rep
resentative Metier of Cass county,
the introducer of bills amending the
game laws, will leave for home today
with the satisfaction of knowing that
nearly every bill he introduced was
passed by both houses. Senator Ban
ning of Cass county assisted in pass
ing the bills through the senate. The
bills passed, if they are all signed by
the governor, will enforce every
recommendation of former Chief
Game Warden Dan Geilus, with one
exception, his recommendation that
county clerks receive a fee of 10 cents
for issuing game licenses. Many
members of the legislature contend
that game laws are merely for the
benefit of city and town hunters or
gun club members who take a vaca
tion occasionally and go to the plains
or the streams and lakes to hunt and
fish. The lovers of this sport gen
erally assert that they are the people
who pay for the preservation of the
game of the state and that unless they
did this there would be no game today
in Nebraska. They contend that
everyone, farmers, ranchmen and all
who hunt or fish, should pay their
mite toward what they call "con
servation of game." This was the
argument used by Banning of Cass
in the senate.
On this theory that the fish and
game department of the state should
be made self sustaining the present
license law is changed by a bill passed
by the legislature. At present a
license need be taken out only when
one goes outside the county of his
residence to hunt or fish. The legis
lature passed a bill to require every
person who hunts to pay an annual
fee of $1, except boys under 18, when
accompanied by parents or guardian.
Boys under 18 or female persons may
fish without a license.
The beginning of the open season
for ducks was changed from Septem
ber 15 to September 1. A provision
extending the season from April 5
which is now the end of the open
season, to April 15, for the killing of
blue winged teal, was defeated.
The beginning of the open season
for prairie chickens was changed
from October 1 to September 1, and
will close as formerly, November 30,
but the limit of a kill is reduced to
ten birds or chickens.
An open season for quail, from No
vember 1 to November 15. was agreed
to by the legislature, ten quail being
the limit.
Snipe may be killed, according to a
bill passed, from September 1 to May
1. An open season for doves, from
July 15 to August 31, is provided for.
The season for black bass is to open
April 1 and close June 1.
Permits for the killing of beaver
may be issued by the game warden
for the killing of the animals on one's
own land when they are doing dam
age. The sum of $5,000 was given for
the purchase of game birds.
The legislature gave Superintend
ent W. J. O'Brien of the state fish
eries a boost by raising his salary
from $1,200 to $1,500 a year and ap
propriated $3,500 or seining over
flow ponds and transplanting fish in
waters where they will thrive.
The scries of revival meetings
which have be?n going on at the M.
E. church for the past four weeks
came to a close last night. As a re
sult of the pood work . done by Farmer
Lewis and his able assistants, between
45 and 50 persons have signified their
resolve to live the Christian life.
Eighteen of these have already united
with the church and another class
will be received on Sunday, April 23.
The membership of the church is well
pleased with the results and it is be
lieved that much good will jet result
from tho vigorous preaching of the
evangelist in addition to that which
can be seen. The church is convinced
that Rev. Lewis and his helpers are
thorough Christian gentlemen who
have done faithful, conscientious ser
vice for the Master.
The services yesterday were well
attended, nnd although Rev. Lewis
came from a sick bed to the pulpit in
the morning, and against the advice
of his physicians, yet he preached a
very strong and effective discourse.
He paid a high tribute to Dr. T. P.
Livingston, both as a physician and
gentleman of moral worth," saying
that his association with tho doctor
would be one of the bright places in
his memory of Flattsmouth.
Before Rev. Lewis began his
morning discourse and before he
entered the room, Rev. Austin had
assumed charge of the meeting for a
short time, stating that the evangelist
and his helpers had come to Flatts
mouth without any guarantee except
their expense, and that nothing had
been said by any of them about their
pay, bvit that he thought the. laborer
was worthy of his hire, and he was
going to give the church an oppor
tunity to respond in a free-will offer
ing, which was taken before Rev.
Lewis came in. The offering amount
ed to $225, which, with the collec
tion in the evening, would amount to
$250. Rev. Lewis stated in the even
ing that if anyone had given toward
this fund who ought not to have done
so, or had paid more than they should
have done and the offering was not
entirely a free-will offering, he want
ed the committee to repay the person
who had thus contributed.
The morning discourse was addres
sed to the doing of little things, the
attention of the Christian to the
smaller details, such as reading tiie
scripture and frequent prayer and at
tending the services of the ehuivh,
ami based upon the scripture: "U3
that is faithful in that w ich is least
is also faithful in much." He related
how Moody had made a rule to each
day speak to someone about their
soul, but on one busy day he hat! re
tired to his bed vexed with the toiU
of the day, when it came to his n inJ
that he had not spoken to one that
day. M.oody arose, dressed him.-elf,
went into the street, found a drunken
man leaning '.gainst a lamp post, look
him to a place where he could sober
up, made an appointment to see him
when sober, and brought the man to
the Savior by his attention to the lit
tle things.
The afternoon meeting for men was
well attended. Here the evangelist
spoke of the evils of the open saloon,
having for his subject, "What a Ma'i
Soweth That Shall He Also Re ip."
He saitl that he, a farmer, ditl nob
need to come from Ohio to tell Ne
braska farmers that if they sowed
wheat they would get wheat, and a
basketful would bring a wagnnload in
the hat vest. The same law applied tt
n sin sowed; it would yield sin at the
harvest and the increase would he a
great in this line as in the physical
world.
At the evening service Rev. Lewi
spoke to the new converts on tho sub
ject of the "Risen Christ." At this
service Rev. Lewis took occasion U
say that he had enjoyed his four
weeks' stay in Plattsmouth, and that
he had found many earnest, faithful
Christians here, and he had also
found a great many who needed
"fixing." He urged upon the begin
ners, as well as the older on"8 in the
faith, the necessity of being rlways at
the Christian work, and to work with
out discouragement. He pictured his
home-coming today and said he ex
pected a more glorious one in the
future when he saw the great white
throne.
At the close of the service in the
evening an Invitation was given and
three or four went to the i ltar. Rev,
Lewis departed for Ashland, Ohio, ac
companied by Mr. Holmes, while Mr
Sutherland left for his home inr
Michigan, departing on tl e midnight
Burlington train.
