of the race to proceed along the

The subject of the address of Dr.
Shepherd was that of "The Koad of
Beauty!' and along which mankind
mcvt to the Infinite by tlieir jour- ,
it y. Ending along the way the rarest
Ixaiity in the dark places and the
I rarching aftei the beauty that the

arid excepted to the utterances of
ay of the clergy that they would
not support the cause of this or any
country in warfare. He deplored
war as principle but pointed out
that there "were times when it was
re preferable than dishonor with
peace and held up the example that

Kelly Is the Plaintiff
From Wedm sday'a Da:!y
Less than a year after his mar- .
riage. Jos pfa A Kelly, mining pro- j
moter f DubUque, la., asked a 180
acre farm of his father-in-law. Frank
a. Stander. 130 North Fortieth,
street. Omaha, as the price of return- '
Ing to tlie family circle as a son-in- 1
law. according: to assertions Mr. '
Stander made Tuesday in his peti
tion, answering Kelly's 50 thousand ,
dollar suit for alii nation of his wif s
affeciions. The farm the son-in-law,
wanted before he would consent to
live with his estranged wife, Berths
Stander Kelly, was then considered
one of the best 1C0 acre tracts in Ne
braska, according to I. M. Murphy,
counsel for Mr. Stander.
Kelly Died the alb nation suit after
his wife had sued him for separate i
maintenance. In it he alleges Stan- j
der is worth ." hundred thousand dol- '
lars. Kelly is president ot" the Ya
vapai Onyx Mining company of Du
buque. Separated After Few Months
Kelly atid Miss Stander were mar
ried July 23, 1913. Alter several
l months, they separated and. acoord
' ing to the father-in-law's allegations.

forth the conditions under which he
would return to Hv With his wife. !
Mr Stander petition QTHfteS tlie '
letter as follows:
"In my lart letter to flertria I i
stated that since l had completely
lost ail the affection I ever had for
her anil Mrs. Stander and yourself.
I thought it only proper for her tt.
leave me alon. But Bertha has
failed tti abide by my decision and
leave me alone and so it is that I
am writing to you to ascertain if
you will comply with the following:
Privilege to Dispose of Land
"To deed to Berths Stander Kelly
and Joseph A. Kelly 10 acres of
! land situated in Cass county. Ke
bi ibraska. the value of which shall not
be less than 10 thousand dollars,
with the privilege of selling, or to do
with the said 1 tin acres of land what
ever it may please us to do
here- j
I
arter.
No v. Mr. Stander. the above is
positively what you will have to do
if you ever hope to have me begin
again where 1 left off. It's you and
Mrs. Stander mostly who can assist
in making Bertha happy for the rest
of her days. You will no doubt say.
What assurance have we that you
will not waste this in foolish ven
tures, etc.. and in reply to the ques
tion I have only to say. Mr. Stander.
that you will have taken the risk of
finding out whether I am or am not
a great deal better than you had
ever hoped to find me. If I live with
Bertha again I would positively have
to have funds with which to get into
something suitable to taste, and in
so far as I am personally concerned.
I can get along very well by myself
as 1 can earn enough to enjoy life.
"I will never again have anything
to do with you or. in fact, with any
one related to you if you fail to com
ply with this last wish of mine.
"Respectfully.
"JOSEPH A. KELLY."
Says Compromised .on S3. 000
Mr. Stander said Kelly followed
the letter to Omaha and verbally In
sisted on getting the deed. Mr.
Stander said he refused the request,
but compromised with a :! thousand
dollar cash settlement and the couple
left together for Torrington. Wyo.
More requests for money came from
Torrington. Mr. Stander asserted.
Then came letters from neighbors,
urgin him to go out there as his
daughter and family was destitute.
Stander savs he went out there and
found Kelly gone.
Another letter in the petition,
written in August. 1914. is quoted as
follows:
"In the past I have asked you for
aid because I believed then, as now,
that if you didn't owe it to me. you
owed it to Bertha for the hard labor
she performed to help you accumu
late what you possess."
On practically every occasion that
he met his son-in-law. a request was
made for money. Stander asserts. If
none was forthcoming, his daughter
would be treated cruellv. alleges'
Stander.
The Kellys' married life has been
marked by frequent separations, the
father-in-law asserts and each time!
he has effected reconciliations, gen- '
erally by financial contributions. !
Kelly has never taken his wife and !
four children to a public gathering, i
Stander alleges, asking dismissal of
the son-in-law's suit. Omaha

From Tuesday's Iaily
The appeal of Charies C. Parmele,
former Plattsmouth banker and at
one time one of the wealthiesl resi
dents of Cass comity, was argued
and submitted In supreme court
Monday morning.
Parmele was convicted in the
lower court on a charge of embezzle
ment. The state cla med that he em
bezzled a note for 1.."00 entrusted
to him by Luke Wiles to be applied
upon a note of $".09O that he owed
Mrs. Daisy Douglas. The state says
that neither the utile nor the pro
ceeds reached Mrs. Pouglas aud was
never credited on the note Wiles
owed her.

FIRST STATE BANK
OF BETHANY STUCK
UP TUESDAY MORN
j Two Unmasked Bandits Who Partici-
pated in Robbery of Normal
Rank Did the Job.
Two unmasked yeggs robbed the
First State bank of Bethany at about
11:30 a. m. Tuesday of $2,5 4 5 in
cash Including $500 in gold, kid
naped tlie cashier and his assistant
and SCaped in a new Ford touring
car bear license numerals 2-1 ISO.
This is a Waverly ear. owned by a
reputable citizen and had probably
been stolen.
The officials of the bank, though
unharmed, were necessarily delayed
in reporting the holdup, but within
fifteen minutes officers were closing
in on every section of Lincoln where
tiie men were believed to be in hid
ing. Tii" two yeggs boasted to Cashier
and his assistant that they robbed
the Normal Stale bank some six
weeks ago. They further admitted
that the bandit car in use on the
Hell. any job was stolen in Lincoln
and would be returned to Lincoln.
W'itli three daylight robberies
! within a period of six weeks pulled
in Lincoln suburbs, state, county and
city officials were grouped into small
hands with instructions to comb the
I city.
O. P. Heiliger, cashier of the Beth
i any bank, stepped to the window to
j wait on two supposed customers,
i Two men with overcoats and caps
: drawn well down but without masks,
'stood before him. One tossed a dol
ilar bill before the cashier. He asked
for twenty-five pennies and ten
nickels. After counting the smaller
I change, the banker handed out a
quarter to complete the transaction
and as lie lookeil up. he saw the bar
Jrel of a gun pointed at him.
i "Hands up."
: This command from one of the
y. fit:s was the first warning to Harry
I Heiliger, assistant cashier and broth
I er ot the c:. shier, that the bank was
' being robbed. He was standing at
s window with back to the men. As
the command to stick 'em up was is
sued, the bandits climbed over the
rail or netting. Hut one gun was in
evidence but this weapon was con
Btantly trained on the cashier and
his assistant who were hacked into a
corner.
The yeggs rifled the cash drawer
of an amount
1 in currency,
j al of them,
vault and took
i ing to Cashier
estimated at $2.r4."
Driving the bankers
they then entered the
?r,o0 in gold. Aecord-
Heiliger. one of the
yeggs then went out to put the car
in order. The other, with gun point
ed at the backs of his victims, start
ed them on a quick march out of the
Institution. Thy were deposited in
the back seat The bandits climbed
in the front seat and drove to Fifty
sixth and Randolph. They stopped
the ear in a draw and the bankers
were released. The yeggs then drove
south over the raise but when the
kidnaped men reached the crest of
the hill, the car had disappeared.
The cashier and his assistant hur
ried to a nearby house and phoned
the police and the sheriffs office.
Say They Pulled Normal Job
The bandits boldly admitted that
thi ) robbed the Normal Stat. hank
some six weeks ago. While rushing
toward Lincoln with the bankers, one
yegg said :
"Remember the Normal bank
job; Well, we're the guys.'"
j According to the cashier, the ban
dlis admitted that they stole the car
j from the Lincoln streets.
State Sheriff Carroll and other of
ficers are convinced that the Normal
bank and the Bethany bank were
looted by the same pair. The same
tactics were used on the two occa
sions. Both jobs were puled at ap
proximately the same time of day.
In each instance, the yeggs resorted
to kidnaping.
"Hid yon ever see me before?"
said one of the robbers to Harry
Heiliger, assistant cashier.
"I don't believe so," was the re
ply. "Well, you ought to. I was in
your bank here about a month ago,"
the bandit said.
A hasty tally made by State Sher
iff Carroll. Sheriff Hansel and Police
Chief Johnstone between the descrip
tions of the robbers furnished by
the Heiliger brothers Tuesday, and
that of the robbers who looted the
Normal bank recently, shows a pos
sibility that they actually may be
the same pair. .
Both of the Bethany bank robbers
were good looking, well dressed and
mannerly, the bankers said. Both of
about the same height, five feet nine
or ten inches and appeared to weigh
about one hundred and sixty pounds.
One was of a dark complexion and
the other was light complexioned,
which tallies with part of the de
scription of the Normal robbers.
Both were dressed in overcoats
and wore caps. One of the overcoats
was of a brown heather color.
According to the automobile reg
istration division of the state de
partment of public works, license
number 2-11S6 was issued to Elmer
Wedell. route 1. Waverly.
Mrs. Ward Clark was among those
going to Omaha this morning to
spend a few hours in that eity at

W. C. T. U. HOLDS
VERY INTEREST
ING MEETING
Gathering at Methodist Church Well
Attended and Great Deal of
Interest Shown.
From Tuesday's Daily
The members of the iocal Woman's
Christian Temperance Cnion met
vesterday afternoon at the Methodist
church and with a very large num
ber of the ladiee in attendance at
the meeting and which was particu
larly interesting as celebrating the
50tb anniversary' of the society in
the Fnited States.
Many of the older members of the
union recall distinctly the early days
of the organization when the small
band of praying women started their
long crusade against the liquor traf
fic that forty-live years later was to
brin; them a great nationwide vic
tory. In those days the life of a
member of the W. C. T. V. was one
filled with trials and difficult ies and
this organization practically con
ducted the fight for many years for
prohibition ami while other organi
zations may have taken the credit
for the success of the movement, the
women of the W. C. T. U. are the
ones who deserve the real credit for
the steadfast purpose that finally
won them th.' victory.
At the meeting yesterday. Miss
Olive Gass was called upon to give
tlie history of the organization and
particularly of the local union for
the past half century and did this
in a very pleasing manner and which
brought forth a great deal of interest
from the assembled members.
