That the American Legion football
team will have a hard fight on their
hands Sunday in the game with. the
team from Blair is very much appar
ent. In the game three weeks ago
at Blair the locals were defeated by
a very close score. Blair comes here
Sunday determined to repeat the per
formance while . the mott of the
Legion team is "They shall not "pass."
And we believe they will back it up
by consistent, playing.
One thing is certain, victory . is
not easily won without support" And
Plattsmouth cannot expect to have a
winning baseball, .football or basket
ball aggregation, unless we back it
up with our support. College teams
have hopelessly crushed more Dower-
ful players than themselves as they,
were cheered on to victory by their
loyal admirers. From the standpoint
of morale as well as finance, it is I
important that Plattsmouth fans at
tend the Blair game here Sundav and
(help the home team win with their
cneers.
The Blair team comes at heavy ex
pense and is one of the best in th$
state. . 1

The following strange story of the
reuniting of a family of children
with their father is taken from the
Argus-Leader of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, and was sent to this city by
J. J. Roberts, who was attracted to
the story by the reference made to
Plattsmouth:
Uniting a family separated for
over 28 years, through the medium
of a chance acquaintance picked up
on a train enroute from Deadwood
to Rapid City, was the romantic ex
perience of Edward N. Ritchey, of
Huron, recently, his wife being one
of the members of the family.
It all came about when Mr. Ritch
ey, who is engaged in vocational
training work with headquarters at
Rapid City, accompanied by O. M.
Pease, boarded a train at Deadwood
for Rapid City and points east.
While waiting for the train they
made the acquaintance of two young
women from Nowlin, S. D., who were
traveling on the same train. In the
course of the conversation which en
sued enroute, one of the girls men
tioned an experience which she and
the son of the Methodist preacher
at Nowlin had recently with a rat
tlesnake, and incidentally mention
ed the young man's name was Gilles
pie. .
Separated Since Childhood
It so happened that Mr. Ritchey's
wife's name had been Gillespie, and
that she had been trying to locate
her father for a number of years,
having been separated from him
when a child. Upon reaching Philip,
Mr. Ritchey called up Mr. Gillespie
and discovered that he was the miss
ing father of Mrs. Ritchey. Upon his
return trip to Rapid City Mr. Ritch
ey learned the dramatic story of the
family's separation nearly three dec
ades ago. and the almost frantic ef
forts of the father to locate his child
ren. The early scenes of the story are
laid at Plattsmouth, Neb., where L.
F. Gillespie, a struggling young
Methodist preacher, was taken criti
cally ill shortly after the death of
his wife, which left him with five
young children, ranging from 18
months to six years, on his hands.
When physicians advised him that
he bad but a few months at the long
est to live, Mr. Gillespie placed his
children in an orphanage at Lincoln,
Neb. The two girls. Theresa and Jes
sie, were 18 months old. the three
boys ranging from three to six years
in age.
The understanding between -Mr.
Gillespie and the orphanage officials
was that the latter. were to place the
children out in bomes..- keeping .the
drls. together and putting the boys
in the same home; and that in the
event of. the father's recovery he was
not to attempt to communicate with
the children until after they had
reached their majority; ,
Mr. Gillespie then left for his for
mer home 1n Indiana to spend his
few remaining days, but after weeks
and months in the open, began to re
gain his health and was finally cur
ed. He subsequently returned to the
west, remarried and resumed his
ministerial work, but kept an accur
ate check onthe passing years, and
when the children berame of age.
wrote the orphanage for their ad
dresses. Fire Destroys Records
But to the despair of the father,
he discovered that in the meantime
the home in which he had placed
his children had burned down, and
that all the recorcs were destroyed.
He had no way of locating his child
ren, and although he advertised for
a couple of years in the Omaha, Lin
coln and other Nebraska papers, no
trace of them could be found, and
Le finally gave up all hopes.
But Providence was taking a hand
in the shaping of that family's af
fairs. In 1916 and '17 Edward N.
Ritchey, of Huron, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. E. Ritchey, of this city, at
tended the University of Nebraska
at Lincoln, where he was taking the
medical course. There he met and fell
in love with Theresa Wells, adopted
daughter of Levi P. Wells, of Ger
ing. Neb. They were classmates, and
became greatly attached to one an
other, so that when he entered the
military service in October, 1917, to
give his life, if need be, to the cause
of . democracy and humanity, his
sweetheart took the civil service ex
aminations for admittance into the
quartermaster's department, passed
them and was sent to Washington,
D. C.
About the time that Mr. Ritchey,
who had been assigned to the Sani
tary Corps of the 89th division, was
transferred from Camp Funston to
Camp Mills for overseas duty. Miss
Wells "was transferred from Wash
ington to New York. There they met
on June 9, 1918, and motored to the
historical town of Hempstead, New
York, where they were married by
one of Mr. Ritchey's comrades In the
Sanitary Corps, a member of the
Presbyterian clergy. The ceremony
was performed at an old stone church
built in 1720 through a Queen grant.
On June 28 the groom sailed over
seas, participating with his division
in the closing scenes of the great
war.
Both Served in War
After the war, Mrs. Ritchey was
assiened to the personnel effects
branch of the quartermaster depart-!
ment at New York, where sne servea i
until that eervice was completed and
the members discharged. Mr. Ritchey 1
entered the University or ?ew xorK
after his return, to complete his med
ical course, and was later assigned
to the federal board of vocational j
training as Instructor, later being!
sent to Rapid City, to take change of
the work in that district.
Mrs. Ritchev Is at nresent attend
ing the University, of Minnesota at,
Minneapolis, where she is taking j
work in sociology. There her father
found her the other day on the first
leg of his journey to get acquainted
with hi3 children. From there he
went to Winner, S. D., to visit his
two surviving sons one of the boys
dying at the orphanage at Lincoln:
The boys are Arthur and Raymond
McEachron, and are farming near
winner, S. D. The other daughter is
now Mrs. Jessie Harold, of Gering,
Neb.

AMERICA GUIDING
HAND AT MEETING
Craif
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 8. The re
publican majority in the New York
assembly will be continued in 1922
as the result of today's voting. With
only one district out of the sixty
two assembly districts in New York
City reporting and with five districts
in other parts of the state missing,
the figures showed seventy-nine re
publicans, or three more than the
constitutional majority of the low
er house, have been elected.
England and Japan Have Programs
to Submit to Arms Parley
At Washington Soon.
Washington, Nov. 8. With the
arms limitation conference only four
days away, a war-tired world looked
today toward America for guidance.
Though, the English, Japanese and
other conferees have their own plans
and in some cases axes to grind
they have pocketed these, waiting
upon America to lead the way. Un
til the United States has spoken at
the horseshoe table in ; Continental
hall these plans will remain pocket
ed. -
All the principal delegates . are
here now. with the exception of .Ar
thur Balfour, Great Britain.
Unlike the Versa illes'' conference,
no outstanding leader now:. stands
forth in the arms parley.
No foreign statesman -yet reach
ing the United States has received
the tumultuous acclaim that greeted
former President Wilson when be
went to Paris to make peace.
Have Programs Ready
Although other nations are wait
ing on the United States to. take the
lead, it is understood here -Great
Britain and Japan have programs to
announce as soon as America's pro
gram is revealed.
England is willing to have a navy
no larger than America's, if .the word
of Its first lord of the admiralty, the
Lord Lee of Fareham, spoke last
March, still holds good. Its plan will
undoubtedly follow that line, for
Lord Lee Is a delegate.. r
Within the privacy of non-official
meetings, some of the slate for' the
coming meeting is being written.
America, Japan, England are credit
ed with being agreed on Certain pro
cedures whic hotherwise would mere
ly consume time withi the confer
ence proper.
