Orlando Tefft, pioneer of Cass county, vet eran member of the Nebraska legis lature and a leader for many years in the republican party for the state of Nebraska. Mr. Tefft was at the time of his death eighty-four years of age, hav ing been born December 23, 1843 at Elgin, Illinois, the son of Amos and Margaret Tefft who had come to the new state of Illinois from their na tive state of New York and were pioneer residents of Illinois. The family came west in 1857, when traveling by wagon train from Illi nois they arrived at the banks of the Missouri river and crossing that stream located in Cass county, set tling on a farm in the southern por tion of the county and near where the present town of Avoca is located, and where the father and mother and now the son were called by the command of death to their last re ward. It was Hon. Orlando Tefft and his worthy father who in February. 1882 plated the present town of Avoca, now one of the pleasant and successful little towns of Cass coun ty and during his seventy-one years of residence in that locality Mr. Tefft has maintained an active interest in the welfare of his home community. Mr. Tefft was married on July 4, 1868 in this county to Miss Eliza beth H. Kirkpatrick, who has pre ceded him in death a number of years ago. Mrs. Tefft was a daugh ter of Hon. S. M. Kirkpatrick, one of the pioneer statesmen of Nebras ka, and who was one of the first rep resentatives from Cass county in the state legislature. --.-..- The political life of Mr. Tefft has been outstanding as he has on several occasions been called to the political arerna and represented Cass county in both the house of representatives and state senate for several terms. He was first elected to the legisla ture as a representative in 1878 and re-elected and was one of those in strumental in the enactment of the Slocumb law, the measure that long regulated the liquor traffic of the etate and placed the first restraint of this traffic that later was to be replaced by the more stringent laws, as Mr. Tefft was an ardent temper ance worker in all of his years. In ithe late nineties he was elected as a senator from Cass county. In the year 1896 he was a candidate for lieutenant governor of the state on the republican ticket but was de feated in the great free silver wave that swept the'state at that election. In the recent years the advancing years have made necessary the ceas ing of many of the activities of this splendid old gentleman but he has retained his keen interest in the af fairs of the state and nation until the last weeks when his fatal illness has confined him to his bed. Mr. Tefft is survived by one son, Clarence E. Tefft of Weeping Water, one of the prominent attorneys of Cass county, as well as five grand children survive, him. The funeral services of this splen did man were held today at Weep ing Water and the body will be con signed to the last rest in the family lot in the cemetery beside that of the wife and mother.

CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY From Thursday's Dany This morning Sam Archer, who presides at the pleasure palace of Charley Herren, was wearing an un usually expansive smile and which led the press to make inquiries as to the reason of unusually jolly mood. It was then related that today marks the seventieth birthday of Mr. Archer. Sam Archer was born at Canton, Ohio, on May 10th 1858, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Archer, old time residents of that section of Ohio, and from which state the elder Mr. Archer enlisted in the Union army and served during the Civil war. On the return of the husband and father from the battle fields of the war,' the family decided to join the great westward movement where the Union veterans were mov ing in thousands to settle in Iowa, Nebraska and other of the mid west farming states. The Archer family came to Nebraska in 1869 and first settled in Sarpy county near where Gretna is now located and here they resided for a great many years. In 1882 Sam Archer came to this city and has since been a resident of this community and where he and his wife have had their part in the de veloping of-the city. In his residence here Mr. Archer has been active in the community life and was for some years chief of police and has always .taken a great interest In the political affairs of the city.

Smilin' Through Presented by the Class of 1928 Beautiful Comedy Drama Has Splendid Interpretation by Members of Class. a From Saturday's Daily Choosing as their play one of the most interesting and beautiful plays of recent years, the class of 192S of the local high fcchool in their class play gave the residents of this com munity a real treat in the fine man ner in which "Smilin' Through." the charming comedy-drama that Jane ('owl has made famous on the stage. The play itself was one of the best that has ever been selected in this city for the yearly offering of the senior class and the cast of characters one that gave the drama a real pre sentation. Adding to the interest of the play was the beautiful stage settings that had been prepared for the play ven der the supervision of R. Foster Pat terson, sponsor of the senior class, the stage being arranged with the background of the cottage of love and memory and the garden where the story the loves of two generations were lived anew. The play was under the direction of Miss Mary Jane Tidball, member of the high school faculty and in structor in English and dramatic art. Miss Tidball has proved a real genius in handling the preparations for the play and with the clever members of the cast deserves a great credit for the fine success that was evidenced by the expressions of the audience last evening when the last act of the drama closed. The scene of the charming love story, or rather two love stories is laid, as we have stated before in the garden of the Carteret home where prologue discloses the two friends "Sarah Wayne" (Mary Ellen Vallery) and "Mary Clare" (Iisabelle Marshall) discussing the romance of their friends, the young ladies giv ing the dialogue of the opening very nicely. The opening' curtain disclosed the garden in 1914 with the two life long friends and cronies, "John Cart eret" (Edgar Wescott) and " Dr. Owen Harding" (Robert Wurl) play ing their game of checkers and "John" half dreaming the story of his shattered romance of fifty years before. The story is revealed in the knowledge that comes to the uncle, "John" of his niece's romance, "Kathleen," the niece played by Miss Alice Crabill, having fallen in love with "Kenneth Wayne" (Clement Wooster) whose family is hated by the aged uncle with an undying enmity that will not yield to the wish of the niece for her happiness and that of her lover or to the urging of his old friend. The refusal of the uncle to permit the realization of the happiness of "Kathleen," forces him to tell the cause of his hatred of the Wayne family and furnishes the most tense and dramatic situations in the play as the curtain falls on the second act. In this the hand of time has turned back fifty years and the quaint cos tumes of the late fifties and early sixties are seen, as "John Carteret" and "Moonyeen Clare" are preparing for their wedding in the garden with all of their happiness about to be realized. The tragedy of the play was offered by Bernard Galloway in the role of "Jeremiah Wayne," the dis appointed suitor of "Moonyeen" who on the wedding eve comes to the , garden and in a quarrel with the groom, shoots, the uleets reaching not its intended target but the beautiful "Moonyeen" and whose death turn ed the heart of the lover from joy to bitterness of despair. The lover of his niece, "Kathleen" is "Kenneth" the son of his hated rival, whose bul let and had ended the life of "Moon yeen" The story of the play related to "Kathleen" failed to shake her love and her pleas for her happiness and that of her lover failed to shake the hatred of the uncle and arthe lover leaves to fight for England on the leld of France, she must bid him go unblessed with her last goodbye. The beloved visision of "Moonyeen" that ihas come to the aged lover in the 'garden, when he refuses to bury his hatred, comes no more and the bit terness of the feeling that is brought 'about by the sternness of the old uncle, causes his lifelong friend to leave him. The last act sees the softening of the heart of the uncle, the realization of the love of the young-people and as the curtain falls in the garden the aged uncle falls asleep and from his aged body again the youth arises and "Moonyeen" comes "smilin' through" the green garden gate with i her love that will last through all tprnitv The last act was sDlendidly (presented by the principals of the ! creamery and butter factory and were J3eIoved" given by Mrs. Robert Reed 'play with the roles of the old and (well pleased with the situation here, in her sual charming manner, young "John Carteret" being taken where the, creamery proposition has While this has been music week by Bernard Galloway and Edgar Wes- received most encouraging support it is to be hoped that another oppor cott and the dual role of "Kathleen from the residents. r tunity tc enjoy such a delightful con- and "Moonyeen" being taken by' The interest here in a creamery cert will be possible here before Miss Crabill. t has been growing and with the fast waiting until next y.ar, as the ar- The members of the entire cast mounting development of the cream tists taking part was certainly as were splendid, was the verdict of and butter fat interests among the fine as any community in the land the large audience and in addition residents of this locality the outside can boast. to the principals, tite roles of "Willie interests have felt well pleased with - - Ainley," rich and urgent suitor of the showing made here. 1 All local news is in the XonrnaL "Kathleen" was taken by Linville Wiles, "Ellen," the companion and guardian of "Kathleen" by Miss Florence Wiles, while Miss Marie Sperry, Donald Schneider and Donald Born were seen in the role of the wedding guests. During the course of the play Miss Ruth Jamla gave very charmingly the number "Smilin' Through" off stage with the violin obligato by Harvey Johnson. The Junior High school orchestra under the direction of B. E. Wood ward also gave several very pleasing selections in t'.e overture anil inter missions in which they were assisted by the organ. Charles Nowarek, one of the most clever of the younger musicians of the city was heard in an organ pre sentation of "Smilin Through" that was given with charm and beauty. The director and all those who had part in the presentation of the play are entitled to a great deal of credit for their splendid efforts that has made the class play of 1928 one that will long be a high standard for the Plattsmouth high school in dramatic offerings.

RECEIVER GETS VERDICT From Friday's Daily The Jury that heard the suit of H. J. Spurway, receiver for the First National bank of Plattsmouth against Louis Keil, returned a ver dict for the receiver at 5:40 Thurs day evening, except on one count, which saved Mr. Keil about $700. The verdict was directed for the re ceiver on three counts, Mr. Keil ad mitting indebtedness on two notes and an over draft. The total of these items was $3.2991.95. The jury found for the receiver on three other notes, making the total judgment $11,101. The jury had to decide whether the notes in dispute were given for a consideration, being executed to take up other notes which the Platts - mouth bank had bought from banks at Murray and Avoca, or whether they were merely accommodation paper, and therefore not collectible. After deliberating for nearly eight hours, they agreed on the receiver's view of the situation. The jurors were excused until May 21, when the damages suit of Maxine George against the Missouri Pacific is to be tried for a second time. State Jour nal.
