'ii Society 3-onxinal 3 VOL. NO. XXXV11L PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, JULY 24, 1922. NO. 3 THE PRIMARY RESULT IN CASS COUNTY GIVEN UNOFFICIAL CANVASS OF VOTES SHOWS SENTIMENT OF THE VOTERS. The unofficial vote of the county, as received at the office of the coun ty clerk, gives the results in the var ious party contests at the primaries anl many very interesting races de veloped in the battle of the ballots. The most interesting development of the election was the fact that Rex Young, who gave Sheriff Quinton one of the closest fights of his career, had by polling too many republican votes, eliminated himself from the progressive nomination and also lack ed the republican votes necessary to win from the sheriff. This will leave it up to the progressives to place an other candidate in the field for the position. The following is the vote of the various candidates in the county: REPUBLICAN Senator II. n: Howell Clarence A, Davis C. HI Gustafson Albert W. Jefferis John O.

GEORGE BECK IN ARKANSAS CITY Former Resident of Cass County in the Early Days and Sister-in-Law of Henry Boeck. The many old friends in this coun ty of the Boeck family will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. George Boeck at her home in Arkansas City, Kansas, and many of the older resi dents will well remember this splen did lady. Theresa Juelg was born Septem ber 28, 1838, in Sasbach Baden, Ger many, departed this life Julv 15, 1922 at Arkansas City, Kansas.iged S3 years. 9 months and 17 days. She came to Peoria. Ilinois, with her par ents in 1S50. They were 4S days on the ocean in a sailboat. She was mar ried in 1S5S to George Boeck at Pe oria. In the summer of 1860 they moved to Plattsmouth, Nebraska. They bought a farm four miles out from this berg staying here until two years later when a prairie fire came fifteen miles and destroyed all they had, the young mother barely escaping with her life and her two babies. Her husband started a black smith shop in Plattsmouth and work ed at his trade for seven years They again started life on the prairie eight miles from Platts mouth. To this union nine children were born, one having died in in fancy. On this farm the family went through the hardships of pioneer life. Some of the older children were sent away to school while the young er ones went to Murray, two and one half miles to school. The parents had their education in Germany and could only learn the English language as they learned from the children studying at home. A son wrote to her on "Mother's Day" saying he could remember her , in the city for practical use. in days of yore, standing reading the The southern concei t was clear as papers, so eager for knowledge yeftthat of Omaha entertainments and not having time to study. And he I the program consisted of a recital added. "You and father gave me : of the old time songs and southern Jessons in character building which manv college graduates do not get." The influence and heritage left by this self sacrificing mother can be, measured oniy in real worm aim nobleness of character reflected in the lives of those she reared and i friends she constantly won. I Her fondness for children was a I marked expression of her loving and gentle spirit. She was a model of pa- j tience and because of her frequent expressions of love for them, she numbered among her friends a host of little folk, who never tired of gringing her flowers and dainties. That she was able to withstand J the suffering and radiate only cheer! fnl tiflrfiilrif tlirmifbmit all her years of suffering was due to the j marvelous trust and sustaining pow er of a prayerful life. She ever gave an example of simple faith in God. May this life, which so magnified the Christ, and so clearly demonstrated that, "To know God is life and peace," inspire those who remain to mourn their loss, to a new determin ation to serve the God she trusted. Her husband and four children preqeeled her death leaving E. H. Boeck of St. Louis, Mo.; J. It. Boeck or Trousdale. Okla.; A. C. Boeck of Newkirk, Okla.; Mrs. Ida Schneider of ITncas. Okla.. and Mrs. Mamie j Schellehberg of Arkansas City, Kas. A sister, Mrs. L. M. Kellcrstrass of Atlantic City, Xew Jersey, a brother, August Juelg of Peoria. Illinois, to mourn their loss. Burial was held at Newkirk. Okla., July 17. 1922. And ever near us, tho unseen. The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life there are no dead.

The report ofDr. O Sandin, thief of the Plattsmouth fire department, covering the past sir months from December 1 to July 1, ha3 been giv en to the public and shows the care ful manner in which the doctor con ducts the affairs of his office.

STURM IS NOMINATED The returns in the senatorial con test in the second district composed j of Cass, Otoe and Sarpy counties,, have not been fully reported as yet, j but on the face of the returns from Cass and Otoe the nomination of A. j F. Sturm of Nehawka on Cue repub-. lican ticket can be safely forecast, Mr. Sturm received 766 in Otoe' county, and S73 in Cass county or a total of 1,639, whib- his opponent, Andrew P. Moran. r. rcivcd 345 in Cass county and . -1- in Otoe county or a total of 1.077. The republican vote in Sarpy county is very small and therefore Mr. Sturm can read his title to the nomiration clear. HEARS FROM THE FAR DiS- T A MT OnilTlil A MH S Al ! OUU I nlHHU Radio Entertainment cf the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal Heard by Radio Fans in This City. From Thursday's Iallv Last evening while Attorney A. H. Duxbury was engaged in tuning up his radio outfit that he has just recently purchased from E. J. Wey rich, he was surprised to hear the concert from some strange station.' . . , P..uu- (he t traveling and the ith much pleasure that was f t he . was enjoying thc,v., t k tR d , and it was w he found that concert of the Atlanta (Ga.) Jour nal, one of the largest metropolitan papers in the South. This is .the longest distance mes sage received in this city and proves that the radio is one of the grea? modern means of communication and that the smaler set can be made pos sible so that they can receive mes sages from great distances. M. Wey rich himself made this set for Mr. Duxbury and it is of the double switch variety and one of the best melodies that were vfry pleasing as well as the news notfs of the day The anouncer .Bta.ted'-hat the Jour- nal holds these concerts each eve- iiiiik ui 'j u iiuih, nine, which is one hour slower than our time here, so the radio bugs can take notice accordingly. FIRST CONCERT OF SEASON HERE . VERY PLEASING Elks Band Gives Pleasing Musical Offering at GarSeld Park to Rather Small Audience. From Thursdays Dailv The opening band concert of the season was offered last evening at Garfield park bv the Elks band un der the directorship of K. II. Schul-I hof, and to enjoy this feature of the summer entertainment program a small but very appreciative audience was present. The community sales day served to keep many away from the concert who would otherwise have attended but those who were present felt that they were more than repaid in the unusually well balanced program of fered by the band. The concerts are being sponsored by the City of Platts mouth and will be given during July and .August at' the park. As an unusual feature of the concerts the band is giving one num ber each concert of a combination of the late jazz selections and one of the standard musical compositions, the one last evening being "Danger ous Blues" and "Intermezzo Sinfon ica," by Mascagni. Among the other pleasing numbers given was that of the "Air de Bal lett" from "Titania." "La Czarina." a Mazurka Kussee. and the overture "The Bridal Rose," by Lavellee. MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY From Thursday's rally. Today is the anniversary of a most memorable date, as it was on July 20. 1917, that Secretary of War Baker started the drawing in the se lective draft that was to supply the men for the national army. The oc casion was one of pride and sorrow to the men who were the holders of No. 258, the first number drawn, and it will be well remembered the feel ing of excitement and waiting as the i numbers were telegraphed to every county in the United States where the number found some one waiting to respond to the call of arms. MARRIED AT PARSONAGE From Thursday's Tflv. sooiage of the First Methodist church occurred the marriage of Mr. Benja min Berg and Miss Lueile Chadwell, both of Omaha, and friends of Rev. and Mrs rnivprt. The bri.lal nartv were accompanied by a number of: friends and the marriage lines were read by the pastor in his usual veryiwrite it as a plain "selling talk" XO. Chadwell and Mr. Guy Corwin were the attendants at the wedding. PARTY 3 3 SMASH UP BELOW UNION TWELVE YOUNG PEOPLE OF CITY HAVE A VERY CLOSE CALL FROM UNDERTAKER. t " ,rom Fridays Dan? Last evening as a party of twelve riattsmouin young people were speeding on their way to Nebraska City to attend the American Legion dance at Brown's park, they met with an accident at the crossing north of the town of Wyoming, in Otoe county, and as the result of ' v, ,lich four members of the party ! v'ore ver' l,a11-v injured and all suf- iereu more or less painiui injuries and bruises. The party were in the large Hud son touring car of C. T. Peacock, Miss Harriett Peacock being at the wheel and in the front seat with the driver were Miss Florence Hodder of Council Bluffs, Charles Hartford and Charles Egenberger, while the other eight members of the party were in the back portion of the car. It is stated that Miss Peacock was unfamiliar with the road over which e car speed d not knowing the road the car was driven with full force into the embankment on the east side of the road. Mem bers of the party returning to this city claim that the brakes on the car would not work when the mem bers of the party saw their danger and it was only a few seconds until they drove into the bank. The car was forced into the bank by the force with which they struck and the front seat forced back into the crowded rear part of the car and the engine driven back onto the oc cupants of the front seat. Miss Harriett Peacock suffered a severe cut on the forehead from the flying pieces of glass while Charles Egenberger had his right hip dis located in the wrecking of the car. ,..,.... . c.r(l(lhpr who was K thp lvu.k geat of thJ caru ffered the worst of any of the occupants as her right jaw was broken and a very severe injury sustained to one of her lower limbs. Charles Hart ford was struck. in the breast by a piece of a broken rod that inflicted a bad wound and everyone of the party was severely bruised and shak en up. The car wa3 a complete wreck, be ing practically demolished by the force of the impact when hitting the high embankment and it is almost a miracle that all of the party were not seriously injured if not killed outright. The wreck was discovered by Ne braska City parties returning from the band concert at Union, and S. P. Cresap and J. C. Thygeson, with their autos assisted in bringing the injured parties to Neb. City where they were hurried to the Wilson hospital and the office of Dr. A. I. Ginn for emergency treatment. Most of the members of the party were able to return last. night but the morcr severely injured were kept at the" hospital for treatment. Those who comprised the unfor tunate party were Mr. and Mrs. Law rence Spreeher, Earl Newland, Percy Dunn, George Schmidtmann, Charles Hartford, Charles Egenberger, Flor ence and Harriett Peacock, Florence Hodder of Council Bluffs, Edythe Wallengren and Lilian Schissel. While the accident has been a ser ious one for all of the party, they, ."s well as their friends, feel very thankful that it was no worse. The place where the accident oc curred is a stiff curve and to one un acquainted with the road an accident could easily occur and especially with a car going at a high rate of speed. HAVE A FINE OUTING From Friday's Dally. Last evening the members of the Y. M. B. C. of the Methodist church held a most delightful outing at the takes in the vicinity of Cedar Creek and one that they will long very pleasantly remember. The party of class members left the church at b o'clock and arrived at the lakes at the most pleasant time after the heat of the day and all enjoyed the plunge into the cooling waters of the lake and which was followed by the camp fire supper. While the "eats" com mittee, composed of Jesse and Hal lie Perry, were arranging the feast the members of the party enjoyed a rousing campfire talk for ten min utes from Rev. John Calvert, the pastor of the church, and as well the heaps of weinies, buns, pickles and coffee that had been provided for the occasion. After the feast the boys gathered around the campfire and had a "songfest" that lasted for ; some time and as the evening was growing late they motored back .to the city feeling that the second an nual outing had been a real one in every respect ' Your ad will carrv nunch if von Btead of trying to fuss it up with frills and exagerations.

Member Federal Reserve PIONEER LADY WRITES OF EARLY LIFE IN COUNTY Mrs. S. A. Rhoden of Chalkbutte, S. D., Writes of Many Incidents of Pioneer Days Here. Seeing in the columns of the Jour nal the announcement of the Old Settlers' reunion to be held at Un ion in August, has prompted Mrs. S. A. Ithoden, a pioneer of Cass coun ty, to write of the days when the great plains country of the West was just being settled by the pio neers from the eastern states and while the red men still dis puted with the early settlers the right to lo cate their homes in the hunting grounds of the Indian. Mrs. Ithoden, then Miss Addie Lathrop, arrived here with her par ents on April 15, ISCfi, from their old home in Rock Island county. Ill inois, and while only eight years old at the time, Mrs. Rhoden well re calls crossing the Missouri river at Plattfmouth on a ferry boat, having made the trip from Illinois in the old covered wagon that was knovn as a "prairie schooner." The family located in the central portion of this county and Mrs. Itho den was a pupil at the old Pleasant Valley school, three mil(s east of Weeping Water, which town at that time, Mrs. Rhoden states, consisted of two buildings, a stone mill and a stone school house. The graveyard at Weeping Water at that time in sisted of one tiny grave, that of a child of a party of emigrants west ward bound, that had died enroute and was laid to sleep in the vacant prairie land, and which' has since become the cemetery of the I i 1 1 1 city that had grown up there. Mrs. Rhoden is very anxious to hear from anyone else that attended the Pitas ant Valley school from 1SCC to '75. as she would like to renew the friendships of childhood days. She re sided in Cass county forty-one years and announces that she will be here for the Old Settlers' reunion and de sires' to meet the old time resident ers of the county to share their stor-Ica-of the days when Nebraska was the frontier of the Indian country. Mrs. Rhoden is the widow of Al Rhoden, a brother of G. W. Rhoden of this city. SECURES NEW TRUCK From Friday's Dally.
