From Satuiday's xJaily Yesterday the members of the Plattsmouth A1 club held a very pleasant session at their weekly noon day luncheon with two of the well known residents of the com munity as their guests.

Bracken, vice ', president in charge of operations of j the Burlington; Edward Flynn, gen eral manager of the lines west of the ' Missouri river, and Thomas Roope, superintendent of motive power. Mr. Baird stated that the' officials had approved of plans that would tend to modernize the shops here and that as they had a large investment here they expected to continue to run cer tain lines of their work here, the re frigerator cars being the present work in the freight car department and the passenger coaches and din ers in the coach shop department. There were still orders for the build ing of a large number of refrigera tor cars and when' that was complet ed it was expected that other lines of work would be sent here to be looked after by the efficient work men in the local shops. Mr. Baird also informed the members of the party that despite the fact of the short time operation of the shops the navroll would be $57,000 for the ( nresent month.

Mr. Newell has reached the ripe old age of 87 years and has for the winter season been staying in Flor ida to escape the cold northern win ters and has up to the last few weeks been in very good health, but the gradual failure of his health has come as the result of his advancing year3 and he is now just slowly sink ing, the reports from Florida state. The condition of Mr. Newell gives little hope to the relatives and his passing is deemed Just the matter of a short time as he fails to show the rallying power that had been hoped for.

Knoflicek. nhone Flames of An Unknown Origin De stroy One of Main Industries Of Nehawka Wednesday, The Nehawka mill, one of the leading industries of that enterpris ing little city, was completely de stroyed on Wednesday afternoon by fire, origin of which is unknown The blaze spread rapidly and in two hours had consumed the mill build ing. In speaking of the fire. The Ne hawka Enterprise has a very graph ic-description of the burning of the building as follows: . "Mr. C. D. St. John, the proprie tor, had been running the machinery for the first time in several days and it is thought the blaze originated when a spark in the elevator shaft ignited the dust that had accumu lated there while the machinery was idle. One of the steel buckets on the elevator belt may have struck a nail, causing a spark which did the dam age. This is only an assumption, and the cause of the blaze will prob ably never be known. "As soon as smoke was seen ris ing from the building, an alarm was given and a large crowd was on hand in a few minutes. Mr. St. John had a car load of feed stored in the warehouse and it was quickly car ried out of danger, as was every thing in the mill. The small scales. safe and small articles were also saved from the main building. The large motor that ran the machinery as well as the big belts were like wise saved. "When it was seen nothing could be done at the mill, attention was turned to the surrounding buildings and with small fire extinguishers and a bucket brigade, the residence occupied by Mark Burton and fam ily was saved as well as the ware house of the mill. The M. D. Pol lard and Joe DuClos homes, as well as the barn used by Julius Ruhmann became very warm, but were not in danger at any. time. The household eects in the Burton home were car ried from the house to insure their safety in case the house should burn. Trucks, teams and tractors as well as willing men hauled and carried the effects of these buildings to safety. "At the time the fire broke thru the roof a slight breeze was blow ing from the west and it looked as though the houses east of the mill would surely burn. In a few min utes the wind seemed to subside and what breeze there was came from the north which carried the sparks directly south where no buildings were located. As the mill was com pletely covered with galvanized sid ing and roofing, the heat was' con fined more to the burning building which was a great protection to sur rounding buildings. "This mill was considered to be a very good one by all millers in the country. The building had been built about twenty years and the machinery was of the best to be had. It is a severe loss to Mr. St. John and also to the town and sur rounding community. Since it has been destroyed, it is not likely that Nehawka will have another mill which will cause, a big Inconvenience to a large number in this territory." - The city election at Louisville this year was like all of the elections over the county, one that showed but little interest on the part of the vot ers and a very light vote was record ed. The elecion resulted in a vie tory for the Progressive party at the polls. The following was the re suit of the election: For board of trustees: H. E.

The world may soon be wearing electro plated overcoats, it was brough out at today's session of the rubber di vision of the American Chemical so ciety, adding a fresh triumph of chemistry to the widening cycle which is being developed at the sixty-ninth meeting in progress at John Hopkins university. Dr. S. E. Sheppard of Rochester, N. Y., described the development of a process known as the electro- disuo- A13-28w!sition of rubber, by which fabrics, after they have been fashioned com plete, may be covered by a leak yr ;of layer of rubber. The electro-deposition of charged ceholdal particles such as exist in the natural rubber late (the sap of the rubber tree) may lead, it was piedicfed, to entirely new processes cf EKiuuf&cLure of rubberized fabric and of articles made from this ma terial. It ie possible in this way, acc r 1 ing to Dr. Sheppard to make an overcoat complete and plate the lub ber electrically on the finished gar ment so as to avoid completely the danger of parting the seams. .

VISIT POSTPONED The Parent-Teachers' association of the Central building of the city schools held a verv interesting meet ing at the school house on Thursday evening and which was quite large ly attended. The patrons had the pleasure of a practical demonstration of the value of music in the school, the pupils of the second and third grades giving several numbers that was a revela tion to the patrons as showing the deep interest taken in music by the tots. The sixth grade children, more advanced in their work, also gave several numbers mat were much enjoyed and reflected the greatest credit on the young people and their instructors. Miss Scavalan. visiting nurse, who has been making an inspection of the school, also gave a short prac tical talk to the parents on the pre vention of disease as it is the desire of the school authorities to give the parents information as will make possible the eradication of disease. Rev. H. G. McClusky also gave a half-hour address on "Religious Ed ucation in the Schools," in which he related the plan adopted in many school of setting aside one hour each week when the child is allowed to attend the church of their choice for instruction and receiving therefrom credit on their school work. The room having the largest at tendance of parents at the meeting was that of Miss Gladys Lash of the second grade and the room received a very pretty picture of "The Whist ling Boy." which will prove an at tractive ornament or the winning room. It was announced that a baby clinic will be held in the near fu ture for those of tender years which will be conducted by Miss Scavalan, the visiting nurse. At the close of the meeting there was held a social hour that was very much enjoyed by all of the members of the party In games and contests held In the gym in the basement of the church.

Easter Sunday, universally ob served by Christians in commemor ation of the resurrection of Jesus, was not originally a Christian icsti val, but Is rather an outgrowth of the Jewish Passover. The word Easter is a survival cf the old Teutonic mythology, Trom Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon godess of spring. Among the Ramanic nations France, Spain and Italy the name Is derived from the Latin "nascha." this in turn being drawn from the Hebrew name of the Passover. No trace of the observance of Eas ter as a Christian festival is found in the New Testament, nor u the writings of the apostolic fithers of thi ch'uTh. The cele-ialion of Easter orijin ally took place at the end of the Jewish I'ascLal fasti regardless of the day 'of the week, but Gentile Chris tians early adopted the custom of commeroratlng the crucifixion on Friday and the resurrection the fol lowing Sunday, as we do now. There were at first several different methods of calculating these dates. It Is recorded that in one year not less than three different dates were observed by various churches March 21, April 18 and April 25. Controversies over the date of Eas ter were among the most bitter of any disputes in the history of Chris ianity as indicated by the fact that in the year 197, Victor, bishop of Rome, excommunicated Polycrates, bishop of Ephesus with his entire Asiatic following for nonconformity to the Roman date. Finally, in 325, the council of Nice decreed that Easter should fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon which occurs on or next after March 21. This does not nec cessarlly refer to the actual full moon however, but Is determined by cer tain, rather complicated calendar rules. Many Interesting popular customs have arisen, at various times in con nection with the celebration of Eas ter, of which that of sending Pasch al or Easter eggs is-sthe most wide- COUNTY CLERKS FACE A STIFF PROPOSITION Meeting at Lincoln Yesterday to Dis cuss New Tax County Clerk George B. Sayles Attends. Sixty-five county clerks met Friday with State Tax Commissioner Wil liams and Assistant Commissioner Scott to discuss the distribution of the terminal tax among the various county funds. The new law passed by the legislature will cause a great deal of extra labor on the part of county clerks when they make out the tax list. If possible no new rec ords for this purpo.se will be pur chased. The meeting whs held in the sen ate chamber in the old cupitol. To get into this chamber the county clerks had to walk over bridge tim bers which are being put in place on the Hecond Hour of the building to Hiipport the walls and roof so that ji big derrick can bo placed upon the roof for wrecking purposes. John Muir, county clerk and county asses sor of York county was chosen chair man, and Roy Daggett, county clerk and county assessor of Richardson county, served as secretary. A black board on the wall served for written examples of the math ematical problems to be solved. It was admitted that each county clerk would have to work out his own method of distribution of the intan gible tax. Where levies are in frac tions much figuring will be required. With even number of mills it will not be so difficult to apportion $2.50 intangible tax derived from $1,000 worth of intangibles of class A type, meaning money and its equivalent. This class is to be taxed 2 mills on the dollar valuation. The $2.50 tax must be distributed to state, county. city, school and possibly other funds. If the state levy is 2 mills the county clerk will take two-twenty-fifths of $2.50, or 20 cents. If the county levy is 3 mills he will take three twenty-fifths of $2.50, or 30 cents. If the city and school levies are 10 mills each he will take 10-25th, or $1 for each of these, and set them amount in dollars in the proper column to make up a toal to $25 for a total levy of 25 mills. Class B in tangibles, comprising securities are taxes 5 mills on the dollar. cos? Poultry fri The Old Reliable Poultry Dealer! argaan Wednesday Our prices will be as high as the highest!

That's all there is, there isn't any more. From Saturday's Daily The observance of Good Friday, the day of general mourning and penitential ollices in the christian church, was held today in the Platts mouth churches in services in keep ing with the spirit of this day that commemorates the crucifixion of the Savior. At the St. Luke's church there was the mass for the Pre-Sanctified at the early service at 7 o'clock in the morning and which was follow ed by the Passion service lasting from 12 to 3 o'clock and which marks the hours spent by the Savior on the cross. Special services were also held at the St. Paul's Evangelical church in the morning that were very largely attended by the members of the con gregation. At the Roman Catholic churches the day was observed as one of the most sacred in the year's days of ob ligations and masses were celebrated at both the Holy Rosary and the St. John's church. The churches will keep as peni tential the time from the ascent on the cross until the dawn of Easter when the Christian world rejoices with the risen Lord.
