The Philippine seaate and house

three-month investigation.

has at least one "big kick" coming.
He is going to make a special trip
to Plattsmouth this week to register
that kick, as he has done five times
since moving to California in 1917.
Mr. Berger is going to kick an in
offensive looking post, somewhat rot
ted with age, that projects about IS
inches from the ground a short dis
tance southwest of the Burlington
depot at Pattsmouth. It was this
post to which the boat on which he
arrived was tied. The river is now
two and a half miles from the post.
"I don't know why I kick it, but
if has been a rite with men for years,"
he said. "This may be the last time,
because either the post or myself may
not last much longer. I kicked a
big hunk of it off the last time. I
aint' no kid any more, so I'm not
going to kick it too hard."
Mr. Berger hopes to outlive the
post. As it is. he believes he has
survived all his four hundred com
rades who served In Nebraska Indian
wars under Captain Henry Shafer
from 1864 to 1865. He is one of the
few surviving companions of Buffalo
Bill, with whom he was associated
for 19 months in the Indian cam
paign. He says Buffalo Bill was "a
good scout the best I ever knew."
It was right after the Plum Creek
massacre, where Lexington now is,
that Mr. Berger met Buffalo Bill. He
participated with him in a number of
skirmishes in which no one was

Mr. Berger left his wife and a
daughter, Mrs. Bertha Berger Lee
at his home in Orange, Cal., and
came to Omaha to observe his birth

daughters, Mrs. W. E. Stander and
Miss Annie Berger of Orange, who
accompanied him, and with Mrs. Flo
Zackary, 1505 Park avenue, another
daughter, at whose home he is stop

He has greatly enjoyed, he says
the renewal of friendships in Ne

ST. PAUL'S DICTUM IS CITED
TO BLOCK WOMAN'S ORDINATION
Brldsreton. N. J.. Oct. 5. St.
Paul's admonition to "let the women
jlkeep silence in the church" was quot
'ed today in an adverse report on the
j application of Mrs. Elizabeth M.
iFinn, of Philadelphia, for ordination
,as a Baptist minister.
The report precipitated a lively
discussion, during which Rev. Robert
R. Thompson, Bridgeton, expressed
the belief that "if St. Paul had been
a married man instead of a bachelor,
he would not have spoken as he did
of women."
Mrs. Finn is the widow of a clergy
man. A motion to table the adverse
report was carried, and the matter
probably will come before the conven
tion again tomorrow.

BER OF COMMERCE,
By W. S. DAVIS,
- Executive Secretary.
October 2nd, 1926
Mr. R. O. Green, District Engineer
Department of Public Works,
Lincoln Nebraska, .
My dear Mr. Oreen:
Believing you are more familiar.
with the local conditions pertaining to",
the road from Plattsmouth to Omaha,
under the jurisdiction of E. H. Doug-
las, we are writing you in behalf of
Plattsmouth and those who come thru
this section of the state as tourists.
Wednesday night, September 29th,
this road was in disgraceful condi
tion, some cars leaving Omaha at 4!
p. m. unaoie to reacn .Fiausmoum
until 4 a. m. Thursday morning. Fur
therfore there was no effort made by
your Mr. Douglas Wednesday night
to relieve the situation or to assist:
those mired and stranded to get thru.
This is a disgrace to the state of Ne
braska, considering Mr. Douglas has
been working on this proposition for
several months.
In going over the road with Mr.
Douglas Thursday the 30th., about 10
p. m., we noticed on that date he had
done a great deal of work to remedy
the conditions of the previous night
and at midnight Thursday, the road
was passable, for which we wish to
give him credit. Also today he is re
moving the obstructions from the
ditches in the road south of the city.
and has done some excellent work be-j
tween Plattsmouth and Nebraska City '
for which we want you to know we-
are thankful.
, However as regards the Omaha
road, Plattsmouth is insisting that
this road be kept open and passable
so that this city will be relieved of
the hundreds of complaints from
motorists reaching us on account of
being stuck in the mud on this road,
and if Mr. Douglas needs more men,
or equipment, or material, we have
requested him to call on you for co
operation to keep this road open and
free from further complaints. This
city has reached the end of its pa
tience in this respect. We wish Mr.
Douglas to "make good" and this
office wil co-operate with you and him
to see that proper recognition is given
of good work but definite action is
urged at once.
Very truly,
PLATTSMOUTH CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE,
