spoken earlier in the evening at the
Happy Hundred and gave the mem
bers of the class a snappy ten-minute
talk on every-day problems. Cap
tain . Ruthledge also favored the
members of the class with several de
lightful vocal selections that gave
his audience a rare treat.

ON THE CORNER"
From Wednesday's Dally
The second year of the "Happy
Hundred" suppers, the winter month
ly gatherings or the men or the com
munity, was brought to a close last
pvpniner at the Darlors of the Presby
terian church in one of the most
pleasant of the two year gatherings.
The ladles of the church, who ar
ranged the toothsome repast, also
looked after the preparation or tne
settings, which were in keeping with
the near approaching St. Patrick's
season. Green candles on the tables
with streamers of the green and
shamrocks added to the decorative
scheme.
The committee thi3 time had de
parted a little from their usual pro
gram by having as guests of the
evening four of the surviving veter
ans of the Civil war, who sixty years
ago had laid away the blue which
they had so nobly worn on the bat
tlefield for the republic. The four
present were Thomas Glenn, Illinois;
Thomas Wiles. Iowa; Asbury Jacks,
Indiana, and John Fight, Wisconsin.
After their greetings and the stand
ing tribute by the audience, Mr.
Glenn sang one verse of "Marching
Thru Georgia," while the audience
joined in the chorus.
The hard working committee also
was given a salute and while Guy
Morgan was absent, E. II. Wescott
and L. O. Minor were called upon
to stand and receive the greetings.
President Davis of the chamber of
commerce was also given a hand by
the auditors for his excellent work
in promoting the pleasant gatherings
in the past. Mr. C. C. Wescott also
gave a short tribute to the work of
Mr. Davis in advancing the inter
ests of the Happy Hundred.
William F. Evers, superintendent
of the Nebraska Masonic Home, was
also called upon to respond by the
toastmaster and gave in his usual
pleasing manner a straight matter of
fact talk on some of the things' of
the Home affairs, that were real eye
openers to the members of the sup
per party. The Home has in the
past year expended $6,390 for food
stuffs, which provided 53,903 meals
at an average cost per meal of 12
cents. The total of expenditures of
the Home had been $20,064.83 and
of this $15,159.19 had been spent
with Plattsmouth people. In the five
years that Mr. Evers has been sup
erintendent the expenditures have
been $209,271.80. There were now
owned by the Home association 15
acres of land in the city valued at
$155,364.55, not including the new
Infirmary building, which would run
the total close to $300,000. The
plans for future improvements from
time to time were made and in the
fund for the Lininger memorial
chapel there was already the sum of
$11,070. There has been a contract
for $1,800 for landscape engineering
on the grounds of the Home, let, and !
the Missouri Pacific railroad com
pany is planning on the expenditure
of $35,000 for beautifying the sta
tion near the Home.
There was a most pleasing diver
sion in the usual program of the
evening in the presence of Captain
Ruthledge, U. S. A., who favored the
members of the party with a group
of songs, "A Dream." "I'll Take You
Home Again, Kathleen," "The Ros
ary," and, later, at the earnest re
quest of the audience, "Drink To Me
Only With Thine Eyes" and "Sweet
Little Woman of Mine." Captain
Ruthledge has a voice of more than
usual beauty and the selections giv
en were admirably suited to the
sweet voice of the singer. With the
Plattsmouth audience Captain Ruth
ledge has won a real warm spot and
they are trusting that in the future
he may again be with them.
An unexpected sally greeted Searl
Davis, who had donned the cap and
bells of the Jester for the evening,
when after the Introduction, the
speaker of the evening. Rev. Paul
Calhoun of Council Bluffs, gave him
several well planted thrusts that
were more than appreciated by the
audience.
The address of Rev. Calhoun was
given with fire and eloquence and a
rare dramatic art that made his
theme even more interesting, holding
spellbound his audience as he jour
neyed with them through-the ruins
of the once great Egyptian civiliza
tion that now 13 marked only by the
monuments strewn along the reaches
of the Nile. This civilization, as
the speaker pointed out, had once
dominated the known world, but was
marked today by only the marvelous
monuments in the land of the Nile,
the tombs of kings and the traditions
of the past. Why it had failed was
because of three virtues, - nOne of
which were possessed by the leaders
of the great nation. Faith, Loyalty
and Heroism. The Egyptian people
today as in the past- lack faith in
themselves and in. their leaders and
lacking faith were without loyalty.
These qualities were essential to any
nation or any people to ndure and
without them even the great nation
of our, own might blight and die, be
cause of these there was no moral
leadership or character in ancient
Egypt or in the modern nation. The
heroism of the soldiers on the baltle-
I field in face of cannon mouth and
death was admirable, but there vas
today in time of peace an equal hero
ism in fighting the battle for clean
manhood and clean womanhood over
this nation. The call was today for
clean men ajid women to repulse the
vileness that was creeping into the
national life and destroying the best
in the life of the country. As Egypt
had lacked those great virtues, the
speaker urged his hearers to possess
them in their own lives to aid in the
preservation of the nation.
During the course of the evening
the supper party welcomed Mr. Rea,
the new manager of the light com
pany here and bid Mr. Kepler a
hearty farewell in whatever place he
might decide to locate.
The question was put by Mr. Davis
as to the future of the Happy Hun
dred supper and It was decided by
unanimous vote that they be contin
ued in a series of six suppers the
next season.
MRS. MARTHA
AHRENS WINS
DIVORCE CASE
Case Involving Well Known Ne
hawka People Attracts Very
Much Attention.
From Wednesday's Daily
The action of Mrs. Martha Ahrens
vs. Enno Ahrens, whicn was tne cen
ter of attraction at the court house
yesterday, was brought to a close
last evening at 6 o'clock when, after
the argument, Judge Begley ren
dered a decision finding for the
plaintiff, Mrs. Martha Ahrens.
The court in his findings gave the
decree of divorce as prayed for. the
custody of the minor children, $200
in permanent alimony, $lo0 in at
torney's fees, $30 per month for the
care of the children, for the plain
tiff, as against the defendant, and
also taxed the costs of ' the case
against the defendant.
The case had bcn warmly contest
ed and much testimony brought out
on each side of the dispute that was
heard by a crowd that filled the
court room. There was a very large
number present from Xehawka, near
where all of the parties reside, and
the audience evinced the greatest in
terest as the story of the troubles
and tribulations that had wrecked
this household were revealed in the
testimony.
The plaintiff was represented in
the action by Attorney W. A. Robert-
sorj and Attorney W. G. Kieck.
FIRE AT H. N. DOVEY HOME
From Wednesday's Daily
This morning at 11:30. the resi
dence of H. N. Dovey and family at
Fifth and Oak street was discovered
to be on fire and by the prompt work
of the fire department the blaze was
extinguished but not until consider
able damage had been done the roof.
The family were at the noon day
luncheon when neighbors came to
the door and informed them that the
roof oC the house was in flames. The
department was called and at once
responded but in the very short time
required the fire had gained consid
erable headway and it was only Dy
the efficient work of the fire depart
ment that the blaze was gotten un
der control.
There will be quite a loss to the
north portion of the roof as the
shingles were burned and a portion
were required to be torn off to check
the spread of the flames.
Mr. Dovey and family feel fortu
nate that the fire was no worse and
grateful to the firemen for their
prompt work that checked the blaze
and saved the home.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but is supposed to have been from
sparKS.
SMALL FIRE LAST NIGHT
From Wednesday's Daily
The fire department was called
last evening to the west portion of
the second ward where a small frame
residence on West Oak street was re
ported to be on fire. The house,
known as the Oshorn place, was very
badly damaged as the blaze traveled
rapidly over the small structure and
soon gutted the place. The fire de
partment was able to check the blaze
but not until a great deal of damage
had been done. The cause of the
fire was unknown.

DISCUSS BASEBALL
SITUATION IN THIS
GTY FOR THIS YEAR
Members of Team of Last Year and
a Few Interested Fans Take
Up Matter of Team.
From Friday's ral!y
Last evening members of the base
ball team of last year which was
one of the best that the city has had
to reD resent it in a number of years.
as well as a few interested fans,
gathered at the home of Peter Her
old which had been placed at their
disposal for a meeting place, and
there discussed the possibilities of a
team for this year.
The team has to face the fact that
was self evident last season, that out
of a population of 4,800 there are
practically about 100 who are strong
enough for a baseball team to give
them patronage at the games and
which of course means that a ter.m
in this city playing good ball would
be wasting their efforts when there
are so many opportunities of secur
ing good playing dates elsewhere.
In the games played here last sea
son the receipts would not exceed
$15, which would hardly pay for the
trouble of practicing and could not
even pay the expenses of the visiting
teams from Omaha or nearby points.
The largest crowd of the season was
on Fourth of July at the free game
when there were some 1,500 present
but this did not help maintain the
team for the playing season.
With these facts in view to be con
sidered and also the fact that the
ball park which the citizens so loy
ally created a number of years ago is
fast going to rack and ruin, the
team as far as playing in this city
is concerned has practically closed
the book as its uselessness is appar
ent. There is some very good baseball
material here and it is hoped that
sonic of the smaller towns that are
boosters for the great American pas
time, may be induced to take up the
formation of the team in which the
Plattsmouth players may work and
enjoy the sport otherwise the team
will operate in playing independent
ball, for self preservation staging
the games at some other point than
here.
The loss of the baseball park here
is a matter of regret to a great many
of the Plattsmouth people who were
instrumental in the work of raising
the fund3 and erecting the fences,
grandstand and bleachers that made
the park one of the best in the state
and on which many of the bst ama
teur teams of this part of Nebraska
have appeared. The bleachers have
long since gone and only a few
planks remain where once they
stcod, the fence leans crazily at all
snjies while the grandstand, weak
ened by age and neglect, is about to
peacefully join the wreckage of the
bleachers. The diamond has long
since given up the struggle and re
sembles more the shell-pitted battle
fields than anything else.
It probably will be only a short
a short tim? until the last survivor
of the one time ball park will be the
gentle-eyed bovines of John Cory,
nnd'the community will not be called
up to worry over the rude and brutal
sports of baseball or football and
those who wish to enjoy these popu
lar sports can do so by hieing them
selves elsewhere.
