GIVES TWO VERY
INTERESTING TALKS
R. D. Graham Spoke Sunday After
noon at Masonci Temple and Pres
byterian Church in Evening.
From Monday's Dally.
The Plattsmouth people were given
a fine opportunity yesterday of hear
ing Robert D. Graham, the eminent
Masonic lecturer, as he gave two
of his lectures in the city. The first
meeting was at 2:30 in the ofter
noon at the Masonic temple and to
which all Masons, their families and
friends were invited to be present.
This lecture was given under the
title of "The mission and purpose of
Freemasonary" and in his remarks
the speaker who was assisted by the
ued of slides in his lecture gave a
very pleasant address that covered
thoroughly the ground work of Ma
sonary. The speaker rather than giving
what the Masonic fraternity repre
sented pointed out the things that
the order was not. it was not an in
surance association, it was not a re
ligious organization although their
work was in conjunction with the
church, it was not a secret order,
Mr. Graham stated, but an organiza
tion of secrets, and as the family had
their own secrets among themselves
among the Masonic order also had
their own work that was known to
only those who had crossed the
threshold of the order. The fact
that every member of the fraternity
was required to think for themselves
was also pointed out.
In the evening the Presbyterian
church was crowded to its utmost
capacity to hear the address of Mr.
Graham, given on the thoughts of the
modern religious life and was one
that was well worth hearing and
thoroughly enjoyed by the immense
audience.
WILLIAM STOHLMAN HERE
From Monday' Dally.

leading business men of Louisville

WRECK ON THE M.
P. NEAR GILMORE
South Bound Passenger Due Here at
9:02 a. m. is Struck by a
Union Pacific Local
From Monday's Daily.
The morning southbound Missouri
Pacific passenger train due here at
9:02 failed to arrive vesterdav morn
ing as the result of a rear end col-
lision between the passenger train
and the North Platte local of the
Union Pacific, the mix-up occurring
at Gilmore Junction, from where the
Missouri Pacific trains operate over
the old main line of the Union Pacific
into the Union station at Omaha.
Fifteen persons were injured, but
only one seriously, A. L. Evers. engi
neer of the Missouri Pacific being the
only one to suffer serious injury, he
having several fractured ribs, a bad
ly sprained back and, it is feared, in
ternal injuries.
The two trains are scheduled out
of the Union station in Omaha at
about the same time, the Union Pa
cific leaving five minutes ahead of
the Missouri Pacific but yesterday
it was seven minutes late and did
not leave the station until after the
departure of the southbound passen
ger. It is claimed by the tower man
at Gilmore that he had no orders as
to the lateness of the Union Pacific
and was unaware of the fact that
they were following the Missouri
Pacific train until the accident oc
curred. The only damage to the equipment
was the dining car on the rear of
the Missouri Pacific which was par
tially telescoped in the wreck.
There were twenty-eight passen
gers on the Missouri Pacific train,
but none received other than minor
bruises. Mop officials declared. Nine
passengers on the Union Pacific made
claims to the company for personal
injuries, it was reported.
Many passengers on both trains
were hurled from their seats by the
impact and sent sprawling into the
aisles.
Mr. Evers. me Missouri Pacific
engineer, was standing between his
engine and tender when the crash
came. It hurled him backwards into
the coal tender and he sustained in-1
juries which necessitated taking hinrf
o a hospital, although he was later
removed to his home. The full ex
tent of his injuries, doctors said have
not been determined.
According to trainmen, the Mop
train was waiting at the tower
station for the signal block to clear
so it could proceed on its way to
this city, when the U. P. local crash
ed into it. Union Pacific trains con
tinue on their own line westward
from the tower, while the Missouri
Pacific trains take .their southbound
course from that point.
P. A. O'Malley, conductor on the
Missouri Pacific train said: "I was in
the tower office to get my orders. My
flagman had gone back to protect the
rear. I don't know why the Union
Pacific engineer didn't see Iik sig
nal. P. H. Paustain of Kansas City
was the flagman.
Engineer Cal Jones was at the
throttle of the Union Pacific train,
and G. F. Hull of Grand Island was
the conductor.
The impact is said to have sent
the Missouri Pacific train down the
track a distance of more than 150
feet.
WILL PLAY IN TOURNAMENT.
The American Legion basket ball
team of this city is entered to play
in the district Legion tournament at
Nebraska City Friday and Saturday
nights of this week. If the roads
continue good the team will motor
to the city and will be accompanied
by a large following of Plattsmouth
cage fans. In case they do not, the
team will go down on the train via
Pacific Junction, on the Iowa side of
the river.
Nebraska City business men have
put up a handsome silver loving cup
which will go to the winning team
along with the honor of representing
this congressional district at the
state tournament at Grand Island a
little later in the season.
We can see no good reason why
the local team should not be able
to give a good account of themselves.
Among the players on the local quin
tette are Profs. Bell. Stromberg ani
Nelson, all of whom have had college
basketball experience, and coupled
with Frank Marshal, Leslie Niel and
Raymond Larson and one or two
others for substitutes, they have the
making of a strong .team. If they
lose the honors at Nebraska City it
will only be because of limited prac
tice together, all of the members
having had playing experience on ;
different teams in the city league
however
SOME EARLY CHICKENS
Matt Sulser, residing west of the
city a few days ago had one of the
hens he has setting come off with a
fine brood of fifteen of the best
Brown Leghorn chickens that could
be found anywhere in the country.
Mr. and Mrs. Sulser state that when
these chicks have attained two ,
pounds that they are going to be

BIG TIME DOWN
AT OLD KENOSHA
Hospitable Hone of Mr. and Mrs,
Chris Ecil Scene of Pleasant
Farewell Party Sunday.
The reputation of the residents of
that picturesque portion of Cass coun
ty known us Kenosha, for their hos
pitality, was amply horr.e out last
Saturday evening and Sunday at the
country homo of Mr. and Mrs. Chris
Heil, two of the old residents of
that locality, the occasion being a
farewell in honor of their daughter,
Mrs. James Roerbeek, of Seattle,
Washington, who is returning home
after a visit here with the home
folks.
For several hours Saturday even
ing the friends and neighbors of the
Heil family were arriving and the;
jard was soon filled with parked cars
while within the house the fun ami
pleasure of the occasion reigned su
preme.
As usual on an occasion of this
kind the pleasure loving residents
demanded an old fashioned dance
and the call for the musicians brot
forth a number of the old fashioned
fiddlers and these with the witching
strains of the accordians kept the
members of the party in the best of
humor and the dancing continued
unabated until a late hour. The
strains of the music proved alluring
for young and old alike and the
gue.-ts report that even Mark White
one of the staid guests of the occa-
ion was lured out on the floor and
enjoyed several of the old time
dances, while the hostess, Mrs. Beil
after much inducement, also enjoy
ed the dance that was proving such
a delight to the members of the
party.
The dancing was not. however.
the only featur? of the evening as
there was a fine luncheon provided
for the event and there was nothing
omitted from the menu that might
tempt the appetite of the members
"f the party and all did ample jus
tice to the good things provided for
tli em.
The fun and enjoyment continued

home was the scene of the going and
coming of friends who extended best
wishes to Mrs. Roerbeck on her jour

FORGER LANDED BY
OFFICER ALVIN JONES
Man Who is Wanted at McCock Pick
ed Up Yesterday Afternoon at
Burlingrton Station.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon a message was
received here directed to the author
ities and which asked for the arrest
of a man named John Clemmons who
was wanted at McCook for forgery.
The message was placed in the hands
of Officer Alvin Jones, who at once
proceeded to get busy and in the
course of an hour had the man de
sired behind the bars and awaiting
the coming of the McCook sheriff.
The telegram gave a brief descrip
tion of the man together with the
statement that he had been posing
as an operator for the Western Un
ion Telegraph Co. Mr. Jones stud
died the description of Mr. Clemmons
and strolling down toward the Bur
lington station in the hope that per
haps the man might have drifted this
far on his way east, discovered a
stranger coming down toward the
passenger station from the south and
as he drew near, the officer saw that
he fairly well answered the descrip
tion of the man wanted. Mr. Jones
approached the man and said, "Hello
Clemmons. what are you doing here",
and to which the man gave recogni
tion but stated he failed to remember
the officer, but Mr. Jones told him
they would become better acquainted
and he accordingly took him to jail.
The manner in which Officer Jones.
who was in plain clothes, approached
the man, completely disarmed his
suspicions and prevented his denial
of his identity which he would have
made had he suspected that the per
son greeting him was an officer of the
law.
Mr. Jones is making a record in
rounding up the real bad actors as
this is the second forger that he has
nipped in the past month and speaks
well for Jus work m the omce or
policeman. The arrest yesterday was
due wholly to the cool judgment of
Mr. Jones and he is deserving of
the fullest credit for the capture of
the man.

MONTHLY MEETING HELD
LAST EVENING.
From Tuesdays Daily.
All but one of the cotiiKilmen
were present hist eveiiiii.': at the
regular :emi-monthly grind of the
city council, Cour.c-ilm ii Maurer be
ing the absentee troi.i the meeting.
There was but little l; interest Iho
city dads in the short time that ihey
were in session and the greater pari
of the time was spent in discussing
the pros and cons of th proposition
to have the balance of the f inds of
the Western States Construction Co.,
which have been held for the com
pletion of the paving work on Chi
cago avenue, returned to them on the
filing of a satisfactory bond ami af
ter the discussion of the matter, it
was decided to let the company have
the funds which amount to two war
rants, one for $1,501) and one for
$104.
A number of the citizens who
travel along south Third street pre
sented a request that the city have
installed a light at Third and Pearl
streets to relieve the present dark
condition of Third street and on mo
tion this was referred to the light
ing committee.
Councilman McCarthy called the
attention of the council to the fact
that the fire truck was quite badly
overloaded with members of the lire
department at the last fire and also
driven in a very poor manner and he
suggested that in the future the num
ber on the truck be limited to seven
and also that there be some one
picked to do tiie driving of the truck.
Councilman Iverson reported that
his committee had looked up a light
requested on Wintersteen hill, but
found that this had been ordered in
once before but that at that time
the property owners there did not
desire the light , and nothing more
was done in regard to it and he
thought the matter might be drop
ped. - When the heart of new busine3
was reached Mayor Schneider remind
ed the members of the Council that
in a few weeks the city election
would be at hand and those who
cherished political ambitions had
better get busy but from the obser
vance of the countenance of the
members of the council, "his honor,"
or City Clerk McKlwain there was
not much desire for a further Btay
in the city government game.
Councilman Schulhof brought a
laugh when he unwittingly spoke a
' great truth, "I move we go home,"
