GUIDE ITS DESTINIES FOR
THE COMING YEAR.
From Friday's Daily
Last evening the riattsmouth
Chamber of Commerce held their an
nual meeting at the auditorium of
the public library and a very rep
resentative gathering of the member
ship was present when President H.
A. Schneider called the session 'to
order and the ball started rolling for
the organization for the coming year.
The nomination committee of the
organization, composed of V. A. Rob
ertson, R. W. Knorr and Frank M.
Bestor, reported out the list of names ,
for the offices and s?lected two for j
each place to give the members a :
choice if thev so desired Xjt the offi- !
cers for the ensuing year.
After the ballots had been voted
and counted it was found that the
following had been named by the
members to head the civic body for
the year:
President Searl S. Davis.
Vice President Henry F. Goos.
Secretary Edwin A. Fricke.
Treasurer Emil A. Wurl.
President-elect Davis was called
upon for a few remarks and while he
was not exactly prepared for the
honor that had been visited upon him
he acceeded to the sentiment in Lis
favor and agreed to do his best for
the work of the organization and
asked that he have the co-operation
of all of the members and the com
munity in general to make the year
one of success and the securing of
something real and substantial in
the way of results for the activities
of the Chamber of Commerce for the
year 1924.
On the motion of John P. Sattler
the chair was authorized to appoint
a committee for pushing the free
bridge over the Platte river and
there was some discission by the
members in support of the pushing
of the movement for the-ftecrifw? of
the state aid bridge here. Mr. Davi3
decided that the time was ripe for
the campaign na ihgrdioff ad; J -tin
the campaign and right off the reel
announced his committee that will
camp on the proposition, naming
John P. Sattler, J. H. McMaken and
H. A. Schneider as such committee.
The forthcoming visit of the Ma
sonic grand lodge to this city in June
was brought up by Mr. E. A. Wurl
and discussed at some length and it
was the unanimous sentiment that
this activity be stressed by the cham
ber of commerce and everything pos
Eible be attended to that might aid
in making the event a great success.
Mr. Sattler stated that the boulevard
proposition was being pushed by the
city and the engineer ordered to lo
cate the course of the roadway and
the city preparing the preliminary
work that would give the Masons
the highway desired. It was decid
ed that a special committee would
be appointed for the task of looking
after the Masonic Home work.
Mr. W. A. Robertson moved that
the chamber of commerce have one
public meeting a month and after
some debate it was iixed upon as the
first Friday of each montn in the fu
ture and that all citizens be urged
to come out and participate in the
movements for the advancement of
the city.
On the membership drive Presi
dent Davis announced that R. W.
Knorr. W. A. Robertson. E. A. Wurl,
Edwin Fricke and George Luschin
sky would be the committee to so
licit the meniberohii s and on motion
.the fee was fixed at $5.00 per year
for membership and that the mem
berships t individual and not to
represent firms or companies.
Mr. Davis also announced that he
would have special committees on the
Masonic Home, Shop Affairs and In-du-itr1
that he would announce at
fome future time. -
Mr. S.hcoider gave a. resume .of
the efforts of the chamber of com
merce toward securing the free city
mail delivery and that al lof the re
quirements had been complied with
rs regarded street numbering and
r-,mes and the numbering of the
! rrjporties and also that the cham
1 r of commerce had pledged the in
. tailing of the mail receptacles as
soon as the decision was made to al
1 w the request for free delivery.
There was some discussion as to
the coming municipal election and
ic was the general sentiment that
there should be more interest taken
by the citizens in naming candidates
and seeing that the offices of the city
did not go begging.
President Davis announced that
the meetings of the chamber of com
merce would start at 8 o'clock and
that he wanted the members present
if possible at all of the meetings and
eliminating long and unreasonable
sessions.
"With Mr. Davis as the head of the
club there should be action on the
matters that msv sHsp tn the enm-
ing
year and to eive the oreraniza-
tion
the chance tn accomnlfsh some-
thing worth while the officers should
nave the aid and support of every '
citizen of Plattsmouth. During the
pai year which has been one of un
certainty and retrenchment the re
i tiring offic ers have been handicapped
in pushing any extension work but
they have performed yeoman service
1 for the community without any re
J ward and deserve the thanks of the
'community for their eflorts. The
coming year is one of more promise
as many of the grave problems have
been passed by in the community and
the new officers should be helped in
every way in forging ahead "toward
better things for Plattsmouth.

PLATTSMOUTH IS
BECOMING STRONG
POULTRY MARKET '
I
12.000 to 16.000 Ponnds of
Shipped From This City E
Week to tre East.
ery
This city is fast becoming one of
the live shipping points for poultry
in tho eastern section of the state
and the result is that there are ex
cellent prices prevailing here and
prompt service in handling the re
ceipts of. the chickens, ducks, geese
and turkeys at this place. The W. E.
Keeney Co.. of Clarinda, Iowa, are
the purchasers of poultry lure every
Wednesday and their receipts are
v-ost gratifying, representatives of
the company state.
The usual buying day yesterday
showed receipts of 15,000 of all
kinds of poultry, chickens, ducks and
geese, prevailing in the poultry pur
chased and of the very best quality
of stock for marketing. This was in
the face cf the fact that the condi
tions of the roads from the farming
districts was not of the best and in
dicates the fact that the reisdents
are fast making this an important
shipping point for their poultry.
The cars secured here are sent di
rect to Xew York and the eastern
markets and find a good price there
in competition with the poultry from
other parts of the country.

COJTIITJNICATION
AWAY
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
From Thursday's Daily
Commencing last evening at 10:30
the heaviest snow fall of the season
swept over this locality and when
the residents of the city awoke this
morning it was to find the ground
covered by almost a foot of snow
which
made travel almost an
impos-
sibility
ar.d which followed on a very
severe
sleet storm in several locali-
ties.
t The weather of Wednesday had
been wet and sloppy and shortly af
ter 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the j
; moisture was turned into ice by tne
sudden drop in the temperature and
in a few hours the roads and side
walks were sheets of glittering ice
that made travel a matter of the
greatest difficulty and danger.
The heaviest losers in the storm
. lias been the telephone lines, the
Lincoln Telephone Sr Telegraph com-
:pcny os'imanr.g its loss at from $33.- ;
ito $40.0(0 and covers a wide range
of territory. In Cass county the lines
were dofvn this morning, broken by
ti e sleet and ice, and communica
tion with the points outside of
Plattsmouth was impo -ible owing ;
to ibe broken wires and the result I
wa; that tne workman ot tne com
pany were sent out to brave the
s'.orm and try and reptir the damage
in ns little time as possible but the
lrrge extent of the damage made the
trsk a very difficult one for thmn.
The lir.e-; ps far west as Hastings
vere reported rs being down and
from Omaha all of the toM lines were
badly cripplfvl where not out of com
mission altoz'ther.
Tie temperature yesterday after
noon took a dron of some twenty de
grees ar.d brought the snow on in the
wake cf the rain and this is to be
followed by even more severe weath- !
or the government weather bureau
announces as the storm, sweeping
down from the northwest, is bring
?rg in its wake 2oro weather which
i- expetced to reach this section to
right or Friday morning and threat
ens a condition as severe as the first
part of lat week.
In the face of the storm the rail
s"rvi'e has not been crippled badly
y t and Xo. C over the T?urlington
from Denver arrived here this morn
ing only c.n hour and ton minuses
ln'e. The increasing cold and winds
win probably do great deal toward
checking the train service from the
v est following the snow storm and
using the snow to drift a great
deal along the right of way of the
various railroad lines.
EETJ1TI01T IN THE WEST
A very pleasant reunion cf former :
Cass county people was held recently
at the -home of Mr. and Mrs. George j

cality. The day was spent in taking pic
tures of the members of the party
and playing games of all kinds at
which the party derived a great deal
of amusement. Several musical num
bers were given in the course of the
afternoon which assisted in making
the event a most pleasant one. The
remainder of the gathering was spent
in social conversation.
At the noon hour an elaborate
dinner was served, the ladies of the
party having come with well laden
baskets that aided the hostess in pro
viding one of the most delightful
dinner will long be very pleasantly
remembered by those in attendance.
When the day drew near the dose
and the home-going hour arrived the
departed guests joined with Mr. and
Mrs. Shrader in wishing that this
meeting which was the first of its
kind, would not be the last. While

newal of the old times in Cass roun-ty-

SUFFERING FRO LI CHICKEN POX
Word has been received here by
Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Pollock of the
fact that their daughter, Miss Alice,
who is attending Simmons college at
Boston, is suffering from an attack
of chicken pox, which, while not
serious, has made it necessary for
her to be quarantined and be absent
from her school work for a period of
two weeks. While home for the
Christmas " vacation Miss Alice had
visited with her little nephews and
;neice, the children of Mr. and Mrs.

The year of 1P23 dosed in sadness
in Steamboat Springs, for ti e entire
community was under a cloud of real
grief bi.r.use of th" paring of Ed
ward ). Furlong, or.;- of the- iuo;-t
prominent citizens cf the town and
county. Death came to him entirely
without warning; no pers.cn e;.uld
fc-ne been tasr-:i more unexpe -telly
and his departure tame a;: a duiiuct
shock, in wl ieli all united in sorrow.
A man of most active life, with
many responsibilities up-m: his shal
(ifrs, he had overtaxed himself and
ieuth was due to an atta: k of heart
trouble, the approach of which had
been unsuspe. ted. He had arisen
Monday morning and gone to the
base-rent at his home to attend to ;
the furnace, and upon returning up-:
.-lairs had prepared food for his scv-
ea weeks old baby daughter. St irl
ing toward the bedroom where the
wife and biby were, he sank to the
floor, beyond hitman aid. All ef
forts to revive him were unavailing;
the heart had ceased to function.
On Sunday Mr. Furlong had ap-
r-ti
l;c
le;
ti:
rently been in Lis usual good
alth, but that night had been rest
ts, and he had gotten up several
e.e:; and moved about the house.
Luring the latter part of the night
he had altered the bed of his younrr
r-"i, r.lv.ard Furlong, Jr.. but be
yond the inability to skfp he had
b e:i given no hir.t of the approach
ing end.
E-Iward Oscar Furlong was born
July 3, 1S74. in Cass county. Xe
braska. Nearly 22 years ago he and
hi? brother. James Furlong, came tc
P'oamheat Springs, opening a hard
ware store, in the building later oc
cupied by the Corner Drug Store. A
--ar or two later he purchased t lie
interest of his brother, and step by
step his business grew. to larger and
iargir 'proportions. Close personal
attenlioji to details, rare business
rbility and never failing integrity in
all of his transactions won for him
a position as one of the most promi
nent and successful business men in
northwestern Colorado. I
Twice Mr. Furlong's business in
Steamboat Springs outgrew its ouar
ter;;, causing him to move his store
to a larger building. The last time
r.bout two years ago. the change in
location saw him installed in a hand-
;xr.v stone buiness block,
largest and finevi in this
one of the
portion of
a stock of
strtf wltf-ro hp f1ilfit
lurniture to his other lines of mer
chandise. Several years ago Mr.
Furlong opened hardware stores in
Craig and Haydcn. and at the time
of his death was still in business at
the former point.
And in another particular "Ed"
Furlong was different from most of
his fellow men. for he gave to his
family a devotion enjoyed in few
homes. Ever thoughtful for the hap
piness of the wife and children, lie
extended his efforts further, and the
boys and girls of Steamboat Springs
had no better friend. Very frequently
indeed he brought many of them to
gether in celebration of some success
in athletics or school work, and gave
them a treat in some form. He was
at Ihe head of the Boy Rangers, an
organization of the younger boys,
and he was always a backer of all .
that is best in the lives of the young j
folks. .
Mr. Furlong was married June 29, j
100 4. his ?r;de being Miss Xellie
Taylor of Platsmouth, Xebracka. who
survives him, with four children. !
They are Grace. IS. who two teeks
ago came home for the holidays from
Colorado Springs, where she is a stu
dent at Colorado college; Ruth, 13;
Edward. Jr.. 10; and Virginia, who
i was born only seven weeks asro. An
other beloved daughter, Doris, died
in 1022, at the age of five years. De
ceased also leaves four brothers,
James, of Denver; Albert, of Port
land, Oregon; Mark, of riattsmouth,
Xebraska, and Frank, of Seattle,
Washington, and three nephews. Al
ba Glassburn, manager of the Fur
long store in Craig; George Allen,
formerly manager at Hayden and
now with the Steamboat store, and

Colfax, Washington.
Deceased was a member of the

and of the Order of the Eastern Star,
,in which at the time of his death he
occupeid the office of worthy pa
'tron ot the Steamboat Springs chap
