Catholic Daugh
ters of America
Enjoy Fine Time
Class Received Into Membership of
the Local Court Yesterday
Banquet at the Perkins
From ?.Ionlay's laily
Yesterday vas a very notable oc
casion in the annals of the Platts
mouth court of the Catholic Daugh
ters of America and made memorable
by the initiation of a large class into
the membership of this very active
organization
The ceremonies covered practically
the entire day and it was an event
of the greatest interest for every one
of the members of the court. The
day's ceremony opened by the court
in its entirety attending the cele
bration of high mass at the St. John's
church. Monsignor Michael A. Shine,
rector of the church celebrating the
mass for the service. The members of
the order were given the communion
at this service.
After the noon hour the ladies
gathered at the Knights of Columbus
hall where the formal initiatory
work was carried out most impress
ively by the local officers as well as
Miss Veronica O'Connor, of Omaha,
past grand regent of the. order, who
conducted the initiatory services,
while Mrs. P. J. Flynn, past regent
of the local chapter, administered
the secret work of the order.
The class that was received into
the council consisted of Mrs. F. I.
Rhea. Mrs. Frank Mullen. Mrs. R.

Margaret Sitzman and Miss Elizabeth
Sitzman.
The interior of the lodge room was
very handsomely arranged in the
colors of the C. D. of A., purple and
gold, which was festooned through
out the hall and made a very at
tractive and colorful setting for the
impressive ceremonies that followed.
After the work of the afternoon
and the conferring of the degree
work the members of the court en
joyed a most pleasing and elaborately
arranged banquet at the Hotel Per
kins that was a fitting climax to the
afternoon of great interest to all of,
the membership.
The decoration committee, com
posed of Mesdames A. O. Bach. E. J.
Rihey and Joe Libershal, had ar
ranged the tables in the dining room
of the hotel most attractively, the
purple and gold chrysanthemums and
the purple candies furnishing the
color scheme of the occasion and
potted plants banked at the south
end of the dining room also added
to the charm of the banquet.
The menu of the banquet was one
that tempted the most exacting epi
cure and was prepared and served
by the management of the hotel in
their always pleasing manner. The
menu was as follows:
Fruit Cocktail
Cream of Tomato Soup
Olives - Nuts - Pickles
Fried Chicken
(liblet Gravy
Marhed Potatoes Green Peas

The banquet was presided over by
Mrs. P. J. Flynn in her usual grac
ious and pleasant manner, her intro
duction of the various numbers on
the program being clever and witty.
The program of the evening was
opened by an artistically given piano
number by Miss Irma Pittman that
was a fitting prelude to the delight
ful entertainment that was to follow.
Monsignor M. A. Shine, one of the
best known nriests of the church in,
the state was called upon and gave
; very interesting address, covering!
in his remarks the growth and de
velopment of the church school, the
necessity of the proper rearing of the
children in the veneration of the
church, the love of their country In
order that they might become wor
thy and patriotic members of the life
of the nation.
Miss Alice Wooster, one of Platts
mouth's most accomplished music
ians was on the program of the
evening with a very pleasing piano
number that was received with
marked approval by the members of
the party.
Miss Katherine Ileaffey, of Nebras
ka City gave a very beautiful vocai
number that afforded this talented
lady an opportunity of displaying
her remarkable talent in vocal work.
The ladies enjoyed another very
pleasing address by Father W. L. D.
Higgins of Manley, who in his clev
erest vein, gave a few inspiring re-
marks on' the line of the church "
work as well as humorous and witty
thrusts appropriate to the very en
joyable occasion.
The members of the banquet party
were delighted with the offering of
Miss Dorothy Gradoville, who gave
a dramatic reading that was very
appropriate to the occasion and re
flected the greatest credit upon the
young lady.
Miss Veronica O'Connor, of Omaha,
was called upon and gave in a short
and concise manner some of. the I
points of interest in the C. D. of A.
that could well be followed by the
new members who had just become a
live and active part of the great fra
ternity. Mrs. F. I. Rhea, one of the newly
initiated candidates, gave her first
impressions in a very clever mannei
that was thoroughly enjoyed by all
of the party.
Miss May Murphy, newly elected
regent of the Plattsmouth court, was
called upon by the toastmistress and
cleverly responded Nin her apprecia
tion of the most happy event in the
history of the court and its member
ship. As the banquet was drawing to a

IS A REAL RAT CATCHER
The piper of Hamlin, whose
strains of music led all of the rats
and the children as well, away was
only one step in advance of one of
our well known citizens if the in
cidents that have been whispered
in our ear are true in this case
however, the activity of the Well
Known Citizen was confined to the
rat line.
From the story that has been
given out it seems that the Well
Known Citizen was attending a
place of entertainment where there
were gathered a goodly number of
the citizens and citizenesses as well
and the, entertainment was at its
height a rat of goodly size veered
among the audiance and created
more or less disturbance, finnaly in
his wanderings discovered a lady
that was wearing one of the old
fashioned street sweeping skirts and
beneath whose folds his ratship
gathered. It is needless to say that
the visitation of the rat created as
much excitement as the discovery of
a snake in Ireland and for a few
moments the lady was about to pass
in throught fright. Here is where
the Well Known Citizen appeared,
as he was sitting near the scene of
active and in a few lightening like
moves was in the thick of the affray
and with movements of the hand
that were quicker than the eye he
had the rat and removed him from
the shelter of the enfolding skirt
and made short life of the rodent.
The death of the rat reassured the
members of the party, the lady that
had been the object of the rat's
attention was calmed and now the
friends of the Well Known Citizen
are urging that he be given a medal
suitable for the occasion.

Supreme Court
is Still of Same
Mind About It
Refuses to Change Interpretation cf
Inheritance Tax Law as Asked by
Vaiious Attorneys of State.
From Tuesday's Dailv
At its recent sitting
the
state
, supreme court decided, without tak-
ing the trouble to write out and
Nil1 illl lipiIIIUM Ill'tilllSP ll'-V,
question was involved, a case- fmni
Johnson county that has direct
bearing on the proper interpreta
tion of the inheritance law.
The case was brought to the sai
preme court by Lewi C. We st wood
county attorney, in a suit brought
! against the estate of William Knee-
land. Mr. West wood was support
ed in his interpretation by a num
ber of county attorneys, who think
that the court, in a previom opin
ion, erred in holding that a widow
receives persona! property from her
her husband's intestate estate clear
and free of all inheritance tax re
gardless of the value of the prop
erty. The contention of Mr. West wood
is that this decision of the court re
lieves from inheritance taxation
many thousands of dollars from tb-
wealthier estates of the state. The
decision was by a divided court a
number of years ago. It was to the
effect that the wife is the silent
partner of her husband in the ac
cumulation of his personalty, and
that, therefore, she should not have
to pay the state a fee to receive it.
That this is not true, lie said, is
shown by the fact that at any time
the husband can dispose of the per
sonalty without asking the consent
of signature of his wife.
It was conceeded by Mr. West
wood that as to a man's real estate
his wife has a vested interest in e-ac-b
separate, individual piece, and if
requires her signature or the defin
ite act to pass the full title. With
respect to his personal property .he
could give that away ten minutes
before he is struck by a train and
killed, and yet only fraud would
set aside such gift. The court, at
his death, takes possession of his
personalty; his widow has no right
to until thru the due process of ad
ministration, she gets it. Hence all
above $10,000 should pay 1 per
cent tax.
