rabies and following his treatment
MARTIN' L. FRIEDRICH
for this injury he has been in grad- j
ually failing health and in 1919 was ;
operated on at the Mayo hospital in j
Rochester, Minnesota, undergoing
one of the most severe surgical opera
tions and which was made in the hope
that it might give him relief from
his suffering and was performed as I
the last means at hand to insure his
recovery. Since then he has been feel
ing fairly well up to a. short time ago
when he was visited with a paraly
tic stroke and from that time on
gradually grew worse until death
came to hLs relief.
Martin L. Frederick was born la
Hesaen-Darmstadt, Germany, August
25. 1S54 and at the time of his death
lacked a few days of completing his
sixty-seventh birthday. He spent his
childhood days in the land, of his na
tivity and at the age of fifteen years
in IS 69 came to America to find
success and fortune in the land to
which so many of his friends and
neighbors had migrated, and the
same year he settled near Pekin, 111-
nods. Mr. Frederich continued to fol-!
low the pursuits of agriculture in
Illnois until 18S0 when he came to :
Nebraska and first settled on a farm
which he rented, three miles from
the present Friederich home place,
and here he spent two years, in 1SS2
securing the farm that he has since
owned and lived tipon as the family!
homestead up to the time of the fam-
ily moving to I'latLsomuth in 19U7.
Iuis Friederich, a son, now lives on
the old home place
It wa-s at Pekin, in 1S79 that Mr.
Friederich was united in marriage to
Miss Eva Volk. and who has since
that time shared life's joys and sor-!
rows w-ith the husband. There are
four children living as the result of
this union. Louis Friederich of near
Cedar Creek. Nicholas, residing near
Murray. William of near Cedar Creek
and Miss Amelia, who resides at
home. Eight years azo Mrs. Frieder
ich was suddenly stricken down and
since that time has been an invalid
and it was with the tenderest care
that the husband has ministered to
her wants and caring for her every
wish in the long days of sickness and
the death of the husband will come
as a severe blow to the ailing wife.
One si.-ter Mrs. John LohiMs, Jr. of
Cedar Creek and oio brother, Louis
Friederich of Chicago are left to
mourn the loss of the brother.
In politics Mr. Friederich has long
taken an active part and was promin
ent in the republican party of the
county and state for many years. In
the year 1900 he was named as a can
didite for the office of state repre
sentative by tho republicans of Cass
county and elected to that office, tak
ing part in the exciting session that
followed in nameing two United
States senators. He was re-elected by
a large majority in 1902 and in 1906
was named by the republicans as
their candidate for county commis
sioner in the first district and was
again selected for that office in 1908.
Since retiring from office in 1912
Mr. Friederich has largely occupied
hLs time in looking fter his private
business interests up to the time of
his being taken sick and he was con
stantly alert to the conduct of his
farming interests and assisting his
s-"ons in their work on the farms.
The funeral services will be held
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the home and the interment held at
the Oak Hill cemetery.

THE ROADS ARE NOW
FINE FOR TRAVELING
Condition of Highway North of This
City Shows Good Work on
Part of Commissioner.
It is the general policy to raise
a large sized complaint when the
highways get into bad shape as they
frequently do in this county of hills
and hollows, and when the roads are
in good shape it is only just that
the men who labor to keep the high
ways up get a few words of praise,
as they have been given a large
amount of criticism.
The George Washington highway
from this city north to tho Platte
river wagon and auto bridge is in
very good condition at the present
time and particularly that section
from the city limits to the Burling
ton tracks at Oreapolis and for the
greater part of the way they are as
hard and smooth as the ordinary
pavement as a result of the work of
Highway Commissioner McKec and
his force of workmen. The low places
north of the Burlington tracks are
a little rough in places, but this is
a roadway that it extremely hard to
keep in good shape and it is now the
best that i' has been for some time
and if there is no more rain in the
nqxt few d iys should be as good as
that of th-; road farther south.
This is one of the most extensive
ly traveled pieces of road in the
county ar.d every day hundreds of
cars pass over it and the drivers
who are familiar with the road all
agree that it is now in as fine shape
as it has been for a long time and
a real pleasure to travel over.

see you go. Newark is yours. Make

Matthews hits Prohibition
Former United States Commission
er, John A. Matthews, in behalf of
tho Newark AeTie, took sly jals at
prohibition, promised tliat Newark
would be remembered by his visiting
brothers, and indicated the brother
hood of man as the highest hope of
the order.
"I hope you have a wonderfully
good time." Mr. Matthews said. "Vol
stead is a good man, I have nothing
against him. But, in spite of the rig
orous representative, I hope you have
a convivial time."
An Eagle in the front row leaned
over to his neighbor and whispered
somthing about a suitcase. "Conviv
iality is the breath of life to me."
continued Mr. Matthews, "and I
would pray for death were convivi
ality denied me."
Mr. Matthews left Volstead the
laughing stock of the audience, and
turned to the significance of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles. "F. O. E.
means forgive your enemies," he in
terpreted. "We must show them that
the principles of liberty, equality and
justice can be translated into deeds.
The brotherhood of man can be made
a reality.

city of Newark," the former United
States commissioner concluded. "Wel
come to a good time, by all means.
You will make a better city and a
better America. A thousands wel
comes and all the keys to all the
gates of the city. As for a key to the
city, let me tell you that it was
thrown away as soon as the city was
built."
Eagles' Chief Speaks
' Elbert D. Weed, grand worthy
president of the order, responded to
the welcomes with praise for New
ark and denunciation for Volstead.
Both angles of I1L3 address were ap
plauded vigorously.
We Eagles believe In personal li
berty," Mr. Weed said. "Laws should
be obeyed, but there are laws on the
statute books that have no place
there. I can testify from evidence
gathered on my journey over the
United States that prohibition laws
are net obeyed. ,

DEATH OF MRS. MIKE
MAUZY IN THE WEST
Passed Away Friday Night at Home
in Los Angeles Body Being
Returned for Burial.
From Monday's Dally.
The announcement was received
here by Judge Allen J. Beeson Satur
day evening of the deitli at Los An
.uelcs, California, of Mrs. Mike Mauzy.
following an ill;ie5.s of several dayo
duration from heart trouble.
The condition of Mrs. Mauzy has
been extremely low for several days
past and on Wednesday a mesrge
was received here by the relatives in
which hope of her recovery had been
given up by the attending physicians
and in response to which Morgan
Waybright, brother of Mrs. Mauzy,
Ftarted back to his home in Los
Angeles, hoping to reach there be
fore the beloved sifter should pa s
away. It was too late, however, as
the death messenger came to her side
Friday evening, while Mr. and Mrs.
Waybright did not reach Los An
geles until this morning.
Helen Waybright v. as born in the
confines of the old Dominion sixty
nine years ago and spert her girl
hood days in the ol Virginia home,
and came to Nebraska some forty
two jears ago.. Fi a few years she
made her home with her brother,
Morgan Waybright and wife in this
city. Shortly after Miss Waybright
came to Nebraska. Mike Mauzy, an
old time friend and school mate also
came west and located in Platts
mouth and it was here that these
two estimable young people were
united in marriage at the home of
the bride's brother.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Mauzy continued to make their home
in this city up to a year ago when
they departed for California to make
their home at Los Angeles, where
their son Robert had located. The
last few years Mrs. Mauzy has been
in failing health, as an accident a
few years ago had proved a great
shock to her and it was in the hopes
that the change cf climate might
benefit her that the family decided
to move to the Pacific coast.
She was not dangerously ill until
the last few days, when her illness
took a decided turn for the worse and
she has gradually into death.
To mourn her death there remain
the husband and one son, Robert,
both of whom were with Mrs. Mauzy
when she passed away; three broth
ers, Morgan Waybright, of Los An
geles, Robert Waybright residing in
the old home in Virginia and Albert
Waybright of Ashland. Another
brother. Will Waybright, died at
Lincoln three weeks ago. One sister,
Mrs. Phoebe Pilaris, residing in Wy
oming, is also left to share in the
sorrow of her going.
The body will be brought to this
city for burial, the husband and son
leaving Los Angeles this afternoon
and they will reach here Thursday
afternoon on No. 2 over the Burling
ton. The funeral services will be
held at the Methodist church of
which the deceased lady was a life
long member, on Friday afternoon,
but the exact hour has not as yet
been eletermined upon.
The passing of Mrs. Mauzy is
greatly to be regretted as it takes
from the family circle a tender wife
and mother and a lady whose chris
tian life has been an inspiration to
the friends with whom she has been
associated for years in this city. Her
going leaves a place hard to fill in
the golden circle cf love and friend
ship and only the smoothing hand
of time can soften the sense of sor
row that has come to the family and
friends in their loss.
CITY FUNDS INCREASED
Saturday, while the coffers of the
county were being enriched by the
fines assessed in county court for the
possession of liquor, Chief of Police
Jones also secured a little "jack" for
the city as well, by placing Joseph
Eaneak, residing in the north part of
the city, under arrest, charged with
illegal possession of liquor contrary
to the prohibition law
Mr. Eaneak entered a plea of
guilty to the charge before Judge
M. Archer and received the custo
mary dose of $100 and costs, which
he paid and was released from cus
tody. The police secured a jug of
the famous corn juice at the Baneak
home, finding the jug concealed In
the cornfield near the house.

Stander United in Marriage at
Presbyterian Manse
from JlOTiday's Dallv

ceremcny that joined tha lives of two
of the well known young people of
this community, Miss Wilma Rouse
and Mr. John Stander.
The wedding was very simple and
impresv-ive and witnessed by only the
immediate relatives of the contrac
ting parties. The bride wore a very
attractive costume of dark blue taf
feto with picture hat of white while
the maid of honor, Alice Stander, sis
ter of the groom, wore brown taffeta
The groom was attended by Marion
Rouse, brother cf the bride as best
man.
The beautiful ring service was per
formed by the Rev. II. G. McClusky,
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
Following the wedding the young
people left via the auto route for an

WAEASH GRAIN COMPANY
JOINS U. S. GROWERS' ASSN.
At a meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of the Wabash Grain com
pany, held Fridny evening with a
representative of the U. S. Grain
Growers Assn., action on signing up
was deferred until another meeting
cf the board on Tuesday evening,
when they can have a full board
meeting, two members being absent.
The Wabash Grain company is a
corporation, and not organized un
der the co-operative laws, and it is
therefore not eligible to membership
in the U. S. association. An elevator
must be organized under the co
operative laws and pay patronage
dividends to its members. This is
pne of the strict requirements.
The "co-operative" feature has
been the slogan of fome four hun
dred elevators in Nebraska and has
won them many times the fight to
carry it through, and it would be
folly to drop the "co-operativ1" idea
when expanding onto the terminal
market.
However, the Wabash company is
planning on signing on condition that
later they will change and reincor
porate under the co-operative laws.
This can be voted on only at an
annual meeting, and must then carry
by a two-thirds majority. The method
is simple a two-thirds vote of the
stockholders being necessary to dis
solve, and they immediately after
re-crganize. adopting new Articles of
Incorporation which comply with the
co-operative law requirements. It can
all be done in one evening and in a
very few minutes.
The directors expect to sign up at
their meeting Tuesday night under
the above conditions. This will be
the fifth Cass county elevator to sign,
making a total of over ninety in the
state of Nebraska.
MRS. BALLANCE POORLY
From Tuesday s Daily.
I A message was received here last
evening from Michigan City, Indiana,
announcing that Mrs. William Bal
lance, who has been there for the
past two weeks visiting with rela
tives and friends, was quite seriously
j ill. Mr. Ballance departed this
'morning on No. 6 for the east' to
reach the side of his wife, while
their daughter, Mrs. H. II. Tartsch,
of Sioux City, Iowa, left last even
ing and France Ballance. the son,
will go this afternoon on No. 2.
It is not thought the patient is in
dangerous condition, but owing to
her extremely poor health of the last
two years it has caused the family a
great deal of worry. The friends
here regret very much to learn of
her sickness and trust that the mem
bers of the family may find her much
improved on their arrival there.
Mrs. Ballance has been attending
a reunion of her family at Michigan
City, all of her sisters being present
for the first time in a great many
years and the sickness comes as a
very regrettable ending of the pleas
ant family gathering.
