This enormous mileage has been piled up in everyday service over every conceivable kind of road and under every condition of weather throughout the world. And no Special-Six has ever worn cut. So far as we know there isn't a single dissatisfied owner. These one and one-half billion miles of satisfactory service prove positively the outstanding merit of the Special -Six. It is the strongest recommendation possible for dependable performance, economical mai ntenance and Ion g life. It is striking evidence of the high quality that is responsible for Studebaker Special-Six leadership in fine car sales. To call a car "special" dcesn't make it special unless there is special merit to back up the name. The Studebaker Special-Six is special not only in name but in performance. One and one-half billion miles to its credit are proof positive that it lives up to its name. The name Studebaker is assurance of satisfaction.

This morning at 3 o'clock, east- : bound Burlington train No. 2, which j is due in this city at 4:30 p. m., ran jnto a washout near Eenkleman, Ne ibraska. and several cars of the train as well as the locomotive were de railed. This train is due out of Den ver for the east at 9:45 p. m. The fireman on the locomotive is reported as killed and the engineer as suffering from several broken , ribs and injuries and a baggageman j missing as the result of the wreck. The vicinity-where the wreck oc curred was visited by a cloudburst Monday night and the flood waters of the republican river overflowed that portion of the country and caus ed much damage and which it is thought caused the softening of the tracks that led to the wreck.

His six year old nephew, James Schafer, who was also riding on the truck, escaped without a scratch in the smashup. altho the boy was car rying his left arm in a sling as the result of having the member frac tured some time ago, and the injured arm was not even jarred by the fall.

Stanley Bald win is Great Britain's new prime minister. He accepted- the premier ship offered him this afternoon by King George. The chancellor of the exchequer had been recommended to the king by a conference of the unionist party. Stanley Baldwin played a compar atively minor part in British poli tics until the advent of the Bonar Law regime, following the resigna tion of Premier Lloyd George and the break-up of the coalition which guided British destinies during the war. Possibly his most notable achieve ment as chancellor is the negotia tion of the war debt settlement with the United States, during which he visited Washington at the head of the British debt mission. His hand ling of the current budget, which makes possible various reductions in taxes, notably the levy on incomes, brought much favorable comment. Since Mr. Bonar Law's illness had incapacitated him from personal par ticipation in the parliamentary de bates, Mr. Baldwin acted as govern ment spokesman in the house of commons. Bonar Law Remains in Commons "Mr. Bonar Law had a very good night. His condition is unchanged. No further bulletins will be issued at present." This statement was issued after the former prime minister's physi cian had visited hira today.' Mr. Bonar Law has written a let ter to the Glasgow Unionist, in which he says he desires to continue as a member of the house of com mons. He presumes there is no objec tion to his remaining as the member for Glasgow central division for the present, although he adds that it is very unlikely he will be able to at tend this session of parliament.

Going to St. Joe. From Wednesday's Dally Yesterday afternoon, a message was received by Horatio N. Dovey, president of the First National bank, of this city, from Jay Johnson of St. Joseph, Missouri, announcing the death there yesterday of Thomas "W. Evans, one of the pioneer bankers of the west and the last of the men who had been active in the organiza tion of the First National bank in 1872 and who had ofliciated as cash ier of the bank from 1872 to 1S74. Mr. Evans, who had reached the ripe age of eigrty-six years, came to Plattsmouth from his boyhood home in Ohio in 1S67, in company with his friend, John R. Clark, and the two young men being favorably impress ed with the thriving settlement of the western country, decided to lo cate here and where they become in terested in the banking house of Tootle, Hauna & Clark, then han dling the banking interests of the frontier, having established them selves in 1866. After a few years in this line of work Mr. Evans became interested with John R .Clark, Sam uel Maxwell. John Fitzgerald. C. H. Parmele and E. G. Dovey in the for mation of the First National bank, and in the year 1872 the bank was organized and Mr. Evans named as cashier of the bank. In the year 1874, Mr. Evans re moved from Plattsmouth to Crete to become cashier of the State bank of Crete and after a six weeks' stay there departed for St. Joseph, Mis souri, where he took up his work as a clerk in the First National bank of that city and has since been close ly interested in the business affairs of that city and taking an active in terest in the conduct of the First Na tional bank of St. Joseph and was a director of that institution. In the years that have past Mr. Evans gave fifty-six of his long and useful years to the banking interests and was known as one of the ablest men in this line in the. west and until the end of his lifp retained the keenest interest in the affairs of the bank with which he had so long been as- J sociated. The city of Plattsmouth was held in the tenderest regard by Mr. Evans and in the years following his re moval he delighted to return here to visit with the old friends and re new the ties of early friendship, but these visits were saddened by the fact that those .with whom he had been closely associated had, one by one, preceded him to the better land. i It was while living in Plattsmouth that Mr. Evans met the lady that j was later to become Mrs. Evans, Miss j Molhe enable, who had come from I her home in Memphis, Tennessee, ! for a visit at the home of her aunt J Mrs. Hanna, and from that meeting j sprung the sweet romance of the , lives of these two estimable people. Mr. Evans later visited Memphis and on November 8, 1869, these two young peonle were joined in the bonds of wedlock and for the years j that followed their lives were very j hanpilv SDent toerether until the ! death of the wife on July 31, 1906. Since the death of the wife, Mr. Evans has been awaiting the time when he, too, might lay aside the weight of years and the trials of life and embark on the journey to join his loved one and as he stated to old friends here he was "Only waiting till the shadows had a little longer grown." Mr. Evans was a gentleman of the old school and to those he knew as friends, he leaves a precious mem ory of a dear, kind friend and asso ciate and the friends in Plattsmouth who have had the pleasure of meet- ing him on his visits here with thef"t n the school is not all possessed , Dovey and Parmele families, his death will bring a sincere regret. In speakiuy of the death of Mr. Evans, the St. Joseph New-Press has the following: Captain Evans was born in Guern sey county. Ohio, in 1S43, and was tnere reared to mannooa, recievmg i the evenin and demonstrated that his education in the common schools , (hc PIattsmouth school attendants At the age of eighteen years in 1861 le certainIj- pifted in their appre. ho enlisted in company B, 15th Ohioic,ation of d mugic volunteer infantry, and served as a i The clagg of 1923 and the entire private four years and four months, being in the 4th army corps at the time of his discharge at San Antonio, Texas, at the close of the war. He returned to his home in Ohio and re mained until 1S67, when he came west and located at Plattsmouth, Neb., with the banking firm of Totle, Hanna & Clark, which established the First National bank there. He ! served as assistant cashier until the 'spring of 1874 when he came to St. Joseph and entered the old First Na tional bank in the same capacity. In 18S0 he became cashier of the Mer chants' bank and served as such un til 1887, when the stock of this bank changed hands. In July. 1890, he was again made cashier of the Merchants bank and later became its president. - Mr. Evans was married to Mary C. Venable. ,a daughter of Joseph Ven able, who had resided in St. Joseph nrinr to lRfil hut who was livincr at Memphis. Tennessee, at the time of ! his death by yellow fever, in 1878. In politics. Captain Evans was a re publican, and from 1882 to 1S84 served as city treasurer. He was OF BESS EVER G!V "EELIEVE ME, XANTIPPE" VEEY PLEASING COMEDY A2IB IS WELL GIVEN. PARMELE THEATRE IS FILLED Cast Well Chosen and Gives Eendi tion of Various Eoles That Does Credit to All. From Wednesday's Dally The class play of the class of 1023 of the Plattsmouth high school, giv en last at the Parmele theatre, will long be remembered by the large au dience in attendance as one of the very best that any class of the school ever present anil for their excellent work the members of the cast with out any exception deserve the high est credit as does Mrs. O. Sandin, 'who has had charge of the directing of the play. The selection of the comedy, "Be- i lieve Me, Xantippe," gave the young people a very entertaining feature r.nd into the different roles the cast was molded. The story deals with the lark of three young men in betting on the ability of one of their number, "George MacFarland," to commit a crime and for a year escape from the clutches of the lav, and what fol- llows after makes a very pleasing se ! rics of laughs as well as an enter taining love story. The course of the play finishes in George winning the bet as well as the heart of the daughter of a hard-boiled Colorado sheriff. The role of "George MacFar land" was teken most capably by i Harold Mullis and his work was all j that could have been asked by the most exacting theatrical critic, and he was supported by Miss Edith Far- I lpv jig 'Tlrn'' tlio rlf ll r?V t at r f flip. fhcriff, who was very charming and pleasing in this role and presented the character with all the ability of an experienced actress. The roles of the two friends of "MacFarland," "Thorton Brown" and "Arthur Sole" were taken by Leonard Born and .naries tLisenoerger anu mai 01 i "William" the valet, by Elmer John son. In the part of the sheriff, Frank Gradoville made a very realistic. fearless yet tender hearted officer of J the law who had on his hands a wil- ! ful daughter kneed jailer. and a very weak 'Wrenn," played by Roy Olson, who proved a scream for his comedy kept the audience in the best of humor and a laugh awaited his every move during the last two acts of the play. One of the clever pieces of acting was that of Joe Weber as "Simp Galloway," a west ern outlaw and bad man, and Miss Gladys Eliott as "Violet." a hard- boiled lady friend of "Simp," was' exceptionally clever and added to the troubles of the leading: man in I escaping the consequences of his rash ! bet. The role of the solicitious aunt ! of "Dolly" was taken by Miss Mary 1 Margaret Walling very cleverly and assisted materially in the pleasant- j ness of the play. j During the intermissions between the acts of the play the audience was entertained most pleasantly with musical numbers by the school peo- ! pie. Misses Olive Bonge and Harriett Peacock gave two very delightful vo cal selections. Miss Alice Louise Wescott two whistling solas, and eight of the little folks of the school two songs that proved that the tal- ' by the older pupils. These specialties were exceptionally good and added i to the general entertaining features of the evening. I The high school orchestra in its ; musical program given before the curtain and in the intermissions nmvflfl onnthor nlpncnnt for 1 1 1 r o nf , school is to be congratulated on their clever and entertaining presentation of the play and Mrs. Sandin on her work in directing the young people, so successfully. ; The directress and members of the cast feel very appreciative of the work, of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Smith in assisting in preparing the make up of the members of the cast and to the firm of Christ & Christ which furnished the "props" for the vari-( 0113 scenes of the play.
