WILL APPROVE LEGION BUILD ING COMMITTEE Men Who will Work in Conjunction with Advisory Committee on Construction Details. From Monday's Daily The personnell of the Legion building committee that will work with the public advisory committee and the architect in approving plans 'and drawing up contract details for the new community auditorium to be erected if the public interest and contribution is sufficient to permit of completing the work with funds secured on a first mortgage, is to lrt approved at the regular monthly meeting of the post on Wednesday night of this week, and will publish ed in Thursday's Journal. This com mittee will be made up of capable Legionaires and the fact that it is to be guided in all matters by the advisory committee composed of Dis trict Judge James T. Begley, Robert A. Bates and Wm. Robertson provides a double safeguard against any seem ing mistake that mighe be presumed to be made by Legionaires alone. ! The general public is proclaiming its confidence in the building, and with the drive to be inaugurated in the residence sections of town this week, substantial contributions from all quarters are looked for. I The raising of money for any pur nose is far from an easy task, and the Legion drive appears to be far ing as well or better than any simi lar enterprise undertaken in this vi cinity in recent years. The building sought is to be a community building in the strictest sense of the word, and not an Amer . ican Legion club house. : The Legion's connection with the move lies merely in its having pro 'vided the site, its present effort to raise the money, its contemplated as JL sumption of the remaining indebt edness and, of course, its control of the completed building, subject to pledges already made as to occasions when free usage will be granted for community enterprises and nominal .rental charged for the "booster" type of commercial enterprise. The whole revenue derived from all rentals is 'not expected to more than pay the 100.00 interest and upkeep, while the bor 100.00 rowed principal will be repaid by the Legion itself from the money raised through its own enterprises SLUGGERS DEFEAT MURRAY From Monday's Dauy Yesterday afternoon the Bohemian Sluggers of this city journeyed down to the resort city of Murray where the bathing beach attracts hundreds every Sunday, to take on the Murray (baseball team. The Murray team had won at the previous meeting of the two teams and thp Sin cfrrs lonrnpvpd down ! yesterday bent on revenge and as the j result thev defeated the Murray team Dy tne score or z to 7. ti1g hurling of the Sluggers was looked after by Louis Svoboda of Malvern who was in his old time form and allowed but few scattered hits. The receiving was done by "Bab" Krejci, who was also the bat ting star of the Sluggers as he an nexed a three bagger, one two sack- er and two singles. The Murray battery consisted of Art and Ernie Hill and who played a very good game throughout the battle. PURCHASES NEW HOME From Monday's Daily Maldon D. Brown, the jeweler, has just concluded the purchase of the residence property on Main street be tween 9th and 10th street, that was owned by George A. Kaffenberger of Lincoln. This residence is one of the most attractive in the city and was for many years occupied by Captain H. E. Palmer and family, later being purchased by Byron Clark and then by Mr. Kaffenberger. The new home will make one of the most delightful for Mr. and Mrs. Brown and will place them in a most pleasant and delightful neighborhood. SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY From Monday's Dally Mrs. Adam Kaffenberger of this city, while attending the picnic and social meeting of the St. Paul's auxil iary at the Born home yesterday, was unfortunate enough to sustain a very severe fall down a flight of stairs while she was assisting in the con duct of the picnic. In the fall, Mrs. Kaffenberger sustained several very severe bruises and a general shak ing up, but fortunately there were no bones broken or internal injuries received by the lady, and which could have easily been sustained in the accident.

KANSAS INVITES RAILWAY COM MISSION TO MEET One of Members on Committee of Co Operators With Federal Com mission in Readjustment. The Nebraska state railway com mission received a telegraphic invi tation from the Kansas commission Friday inviting its members to take part in a conference at Topeka on August 4 to consider what the states should do in the matter of resisting the application of the carriers for an 11 per cent increase in freight rates. No action will be taken un til Commissioner Taylor returns from his vacation in a day or two. The commission is a bit embar rassed by the fact that Mr. Taylor is a member of the committee of state commissioners who ' had arranged with the interstate commerce com mission to act in co-operation in se curing evidence to be presented at the hearings which begin in Chicago September 1. The Kansas plan seems to be to have the states inter ested to join in making a fight against the raise asked for, but the co-operative plan contemplates the use of the material gathered by the states relating to the revenue results in recent years under state rates in the same hearing. Evidences of a panicky feeling among state commissioners is shown by calls for help that the Nebraska commission has received from the state of Washington, and other inter mountain and some states to the north. This would seem to indicate that no defense was being prepared by the states when as a matter of fact all have been busy. VISITS IN LINCOLN From Wednesday's Daily Miss Ursula Ilerold, of Platts mouth, Neb., who has been visiting in Lincoln with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

Saturday, August 8th -Music by Denham Orchestra- This will be a real dancing event of the season and one you can't afford to miss. Good Music and a Good Time IS all-steel m Usual Admission ELKS VOTE FUNDS FOR PAVING AT OAK HILL CEMETERY Plattsmouth Lodge No. 739 Takes This Action at Their Meeting Last Evening1. From Wednesdays Daily Last evening Plattsmouth lodge No. 739, B. P. O. E. took up at their session the matter of the disposition of the fifty per cent of the carnival funds that were raised last fall for the use of cemetery improvement, voting to turn over to the city the amount of $1,500 that had been de rived and which the city had agreed to add to $700 and pave one of the streets in the Oak Hill cemetery. The lodge had for some time en tertained the proposition of creat ing an endowment fund, only the in terest of which was to be used in cemetery work, it being the plan to have this added to each year until sufficient funds might be secured to give an adequate return to the fund that would enable the proper care to be taken of the cemetery. The agitation that has been made for the paving of the cemetery streets as well as the graveling of the road to the Oak Hill cemetery, by the city government as well as a large num ber of the citizens, decided the Elks that they might secure a greater di rect benefit by turning the fund over to the city for application on the paving in the cemetery and which was accordingly the action that was taken last evening by the lodge at their session. The Elks have considered the fund as a trust in their hands and at th very general demand that had been expressed, decided that the fund should be applied to the present uses of the cemetery, rather than future plans that might cover a period of years. The lodge feels that they have justified the confidence of the publi in the administering of the fund and now that the time is at hand when the city is willing to do something toward the permanent improvemen of the cemetery they will do the! part in turning over the funds. The action of the lodge will prob ably be followed Monday evening by some definate action by the city coun cil to get the work under way and have the new paving placed in th cemetery before the cold weather comes and which will make at least one of the streets passible in bad weather for the funeral parties. The Elks recently at one of thei lodge meetings had voted the sum o $300 of the fund to the use of the Catholic cemetery but this may be devoted by the trustees of this cem etery also to the paving fund, as the cemeteries are adjoining and have the use of the streets of either cemetery for the funeral parties. ENJOYING AUTO TRIP From Wednesday's iaiiy The Rev. Frank Emory Pfoutz and family, who are now enjoying an auto tour in the east and New England, write back to friends here that they are having the time of their lives in the great outdoor trip through this attractive section of the country.

Death has called another of the old time residents of Weeping Water in the person of Mrs. George W. Nor ton, for more than 4 0 years a lead ing figure in the social and religious life of t hat community. Sarah Abbie Sawyer was born in Otisfield. Maine, November 6, 183S, and died July 31. 1925. When IS years of age her parents wenl to Wisconsin where in 1856 she was married to George W. Norton, whose death occurred August 190S. To them were born nine children, five of whom are now liv ing, namely. Mrs. E. E. Day and Mrs. N. A. Cole of Weeping water; Mrs. F. P. Reed of Stockton. Cal.; Edwin K. Norton of Weeping Water, and Robert R. Norton, of Berkeley, Cal. She is also survived Dy 'J grandchildren. In her youth she was a communi cant of the Episcopal church, but coming to Iowa soon after the close of the Civil war, Mr. and Mrs. Nor ton helped organize the Congrega tional church at Atlantic and five years ago at the 50th anniversary of this church, she was an honored guest, the only charter member then iving. Since coming to Weeping Water in 1SS2 she has been a member of this hurch, always interested in its vari ous activities and until recently a regular attendant at its services. A beautiful life, full of service for others, an inspiration to all who knew her, unselfish and with a per fect faith in God and man. The funeral services of this be loved lady were held Monday morn ing at 10:30 from the Weeping Wa ter Congregational church, a very large number of the old friends and neighbors being in attendance at the services and with the family sharing the deep sense of loss that has come on the community. The Rev. S. I. naiuuru, oia time rector or the church and close friend of the Nor- ton family, had come from his home m Lincoln to conduct the services of the departed lady, giving words of comfort and cheer. The nermon was taken from the text. Rev. 14:13: "Blessed are the dead who die In the jord, from henceforth. Yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do fol-
