RESULTSSHOW
HEAVY VOTE IN
CASSCOUNTY
SUFFRAGE RESPONSIBLE FOR A
LARGE INCREASE IN THE
MAJORITIES SHOWN
From Thursday's Pally.
The results of the election in Cass
county as shown by the unofficial
returns of the county as compiled in
the office of County Clerk George H.
Sayles. show a large Increase in the
vote over the county, which accounts
for the largely increased majorities
over those of former years, although
ihe trend was almost all in one di
rection that of the republican
Ticket. The democratic national and
state ticket suffered in this city even
more than in the country precincts
as the vote for Wray was large here
while the Harding vote was much
nut of proportion as he had evidently
received a large labor support. In
the country precincts Governor More
head was exceptionally strong and
won u plurality in the republican
strongholds where the Wray vote
3 fleeted the G. O. 1.
On the non-partisan ticket Judge
Day and Chief Justice Morrissey each
came under the wire winners while
Judge lieeson has a plurality of 1.000
on the face of the unofficial vote over
M. S. Rriggs. his opponent.
Clerk of the District Court James
.!. Robertson, was unopposed and re
ceived a large vote, with a few- scat
tering votes cast in this city for
clarence Beal.
William Rummell was one of the
lucky democrats, as he had no oppon
ent for county assessor and won
hands down with a good, heavy vote.
The vote for the different offices
was as follows:
President
Harding,' republican
Cox. d-mocrat
Debs, socialist
Watkins. prohibition

ADDRESSES TEACH
ERS' MEETING TODAY
Miss Alpha Petersen, County Supt.,
on Program at Superintendents'
and Rural Teachers' Meeting
From Thursday's Dally.
At the session of the Nebraska
State Teachers' association in Omaha
today. Miss Alpha Petersen, county
superintendent of Cass county, was
given a place on the program for the
discussion of the subject, "The Pres
ent Status of Consolidation in Ne
braska," together with several of the
leading superintendents of the state.
The problem of school consolida
tion is one of the most important in
the present public school situation
and Miss Petersen has had a great
deal of experience in this line in her
work in Casa county, where a num
ber of rural districts have been cre
ated and on this topic she is well
versed.
The law passed by the last legis
lature in regard to the consolidation
of schools within the state has made
the work of effecting consolidation
much easier than before and has
advanced the standing of the rural
schools so that they tan be on a
plane with the smaller city high
schools as far as the courses of study
and efficiency of the teaching force
are concerned.

( rustlers of the lodge in that city and
'a band whose tunes served to enliven
the occasion and make it much more
er.jovablo for the members and even
the candidates who were facing the
initiation ceremony.
Preceeding the initiation ceremony
the visitors, candidates and a num
ber of the older members of the local
aerie, headed by the band, marched
from the Eagles' hall to Third and
Main street and counter marched
I back to the scene of action where the
j initiation wis to be staged. The
marchers gave vent to their enthusi
asm for the order in which they were
members t.r were soon to become
members and demonstrated that there
was something doing in the nest of
the Eagles that was going to make
it a record breaking occasion.
The beautiful and impressive rit
ualistic work of tlfe order was ex-j

South Omaha aerie, which is one of
the best in the west and their lcs

impressed itself on the minds of the
class of initiatees and also renewed
the faitli of the older members in
the virtues upon which the order
has its foundation and life. The
local aerie was fortunate in securing
the South Omaha team and their
work was artistic and finished in
ever way.
Owing to the large number of
members and visitors the initiation
was held in the dance hall, which
had been transformed for the time
into the gathering place of the aerie
and large as the auditorium was. it
was filled to capacity by the members
and newly elected members to par-

and the splendid progress of the
Plattsmouth aerie and its laudible
ambition to have erected in this
city a fitting home tor the oruer ana
I which is one of the Roals to which
the local aerie is now striving and
the membership to continue as
"they have within the past ear and
success
would surely attend '- their
efforts.
Brief addresses were also given
by Worthy President Mosler of South
Omaha; Past Worthy President Joe
Parks of South Omaha; Past Worthy
Chaplain Abbott, of Beatrice; Judge
Britt of Omaha and Past President
Tibbitts of Falls City, all in the line
cf boosting for the order and in
their remarks the speakers compli
mented the members of the Platts
mouth aerie very highly.
The Eagles orchestra of this city
assisted in the initiatory ceremonies
with the marches and incidental mu
sic required for the work of 'the drill
team.
After the initiation and session of
the lodge a very enjoyable feed was
staged in the club rooms, to which
the crowd of several hundred did
ample justice in disposing of the good
things to eat that had been prepared
by the committee in charge and the
boys who had this feature of the
evening's entertainment in charge
did themselves proud in their work
and certainly will be called on for
any future feasts of this kind, as
they were there and over.
The growth of the Eagles in this
city has been a matter in which
everyone can feel a pardonable pride
and when the state aerie holds its
session here in next May Plattsmouth
is going to rank as one of the larg
est as well as the livest aerie of the
order within the broad confines of
the state.
One of Plattsmouth's citizens. Wil
liam Barclay, is worthy vice presi
dent of the state aerie and if all signs
do not fail, the next state president
is going to be a member of the Platts

an honor well bestowed upon a well
qualified gentleman as well as a rec- j

TQ DISTRICT COURT
John Kunz, Nephew cf Deceased, Ap
peals Case From County Court
to District Court.
The transcript and appeal in the
cpse of ihe matter of the estate of
John Webber, deceased, has been
filed in the district court of Cass
county, by Attorney I). O. Ihvyer and
Attorney J. A. Capwell, representing
the nephew, John Kunz. the only
heir at law of the deceased.
The case is brought from the coun
ty court, where the last will and tes
tament of Mr. Webber was admitted
to probate on the presenting of the
case by the proponent of the will.
Mrs. Belle Bowdish, through her at
torneys. Fawcett & Mockett of Lin
coln, William A. Robertson of this
city and William Deles Dernier of
E'mwo&d.
The case involves the settlement of
v large estate that is estimated to be
of the value of $55,000. largely con
sisting of real estate.
John Webber died at his home near
Elm wood on August 8. 1920, at the
age of seventy ?five years and prior

Mrs. Belle Bowdish as nurse and in
the will made in June, the bulk of
the property of the deceased was giv
en to Mrs. Bowdish in recognition of
her services. The sum of 510,000
was set aside in the will to be given
to the nephew. John Kunz. The will
was witnessed by William D. Skein
and Henry Mollen, and the document
nominated"" C." ST Aldriclfor ETnYWood
as the executor of the will.
At the hearing in the county court
there was not a great deal of evidence
offered by thos-j opposing the will
and on the showing of the proponents
as to the fact of the will having been
drawn and witnessed in proper man
ner the document was admitted to
probate.
The objections to the allowance of
the will as filled in the district court
claim that at the time of the exe
cution of the will the deceased was
in very poor health and at the ad
vanced age of seventy-five years and
it is claimed by the objector that he
was physically and mentally incom
petent to execute a document of this
nature.

MAKING IM
PROVEMENTS AT MORELAND
TO ENLARGE BOOTH TO PROVIDE
FOR INSTALLATION ONE OF
LAEST PICTURE MACHINES
In the near future the Moreland
TheatPr of this city I to ! provid
ed with two improvements that will
give the patrons the greatest possible
enjoyment in a moving picture. Man
ager Moreland today closed the con
tract for the equipping of the theater
with a new machine for the projec
tive of the pictures and a fine screen
upon which they will be shown and
which will cost a large sum to In
stall. The representative of the Argus
Enterprises. Mr. G. R. White was in
the city today and closed the contract
with Sir. Moreland for placing the
new equipment in the theater. The
new machine used to furnish the pro
jective of the pictures is the latest
General Electric Mazda machine and
by its use absolutely all flicker or
raising and falling light caused by
the changes In the current is ab
sorbed in the machine and the pic
ture stands out clear and distinct
and without any of the flickering
that is so often found in the moving
picture machines. This machine
so devised as to absolutely control
the current and the raising or falling
of the line of current will not be
noticeable as is often found. It pro
duces a bright, clear picture and
one that does away with all glare
and eye strain that is uften found
in the movies.
Another of the improvements that
is to be made is the installing of a
Gardner silk finish, gold fibre screen,
one of the best and most expensive
screens on the market and one that
has been generally adopted by all of
the larger movie houses f the land.
The Sun theater in Oriaha is closing
a contract for a screen similar to that
to be installed by Mr. Moreland and
which they have selected after a thor
ough investigation so that the evi
dent value of the screen is recognized.
When the changes are completed
in the Moreland it will be one of the
beet of iU icein the state and the
pictures be clear and distinct from
anyportion of the house and it is al
so expected to have the seats reno
vated and repaired so that thy will
be in first class shape and give the
patrons the last word in comfort and
enjoyment in attending the movies
in this cozy little theater.
