Circus Coming to Plattsmouth on April 24th Cole & Bogers Shows will be Here Next Wednesday To Exhibit at the Tourist Park. Community life, herea.bouts, is due for a genuine upsetting in Platts mouth on" Wednesday April 24th, when Cole & Rogers Circus comes to town Tor two performances that day. There is nothing short of a visit from a circus that so changes and disar ranges the social and economic ha bits of the countryside for there is nothing like a circus to appeal so generally to the hearts of normal humans big and little. Old age gets the thrill of youth recalled; youth lives its full day of happiness and talk of politics, crops and work- a day; things are for one day sub merged in the appeal of the circus. Make up your mind, then, to soon be jolted out your usual trend of mind and action. Cole & Rogers Circus comes herald ed with just enough heorics to make it foretell a real circus event. There U are no extrr.v-'.gant claims to great ness, no false declarations of magni tude, no superlatives to clog the story in its telling. Cole & Rogers Circus promises good entertainment; promises novelty in its program of events and undertakes to assure lovers of thrills and strange presen tations an afternoon or evening of true enjoyment at the Tourist Park grounds. There will be an excellent collec tion of wild and rare animals. There will be brought before the children the very beasts and birds they seen pictured, have dreamed of and now can really behold in their natural state. Lithe and sinewy girls will fly through the air or prance gaily on the back of beautiful horses. Strong and sinewy men will perform the feats of giants with grace and scorn ing ease. In short Cole & RogeT will present a circus performance well worthy of the great traditions of this fascinating style of amuse ment. Feats of horsemanship, exhibitions of animal training, and an attrac tive array of interesting and odd performances will lend novelty to the program. Among the rare and curious sights will be the tiny horse so appropriately l-r.med "Pewee" weighing only 40 pounds, standing 2G inces high and glo.sily shining in its mouse-colored hide, a perfect horse done in mimiture. Indeed "Pewee" is said to be the smallest horse in the world and if this be not entirely so "Pewee" is surely the smallest horse our townsfolk are ever likely to s e. CONTINUES AE0UT THE SAME From Tiiejlny' railv Mrs. W. F.

Hall In tho store house of his vast ex perience to equip him for the dis cussion of such a subject as THIS HIGH COST OF LOW MORALS Peter Collins has indeed a series of unique and important contracts in life. These are days that cause thinking men and women to wonder about tho future of civilizations days of world wide revolt, revolt against authority, against government, against law and morals and yes. revolt against inter national peace among nations. This lecture will he given at the Parmele theatre next Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock. One of the interesting and impor tant contacts of Mr. Collins that guve him a large insight into the nutnaee of international amity and the disregard of law and morals among men and nations, ws tht when serving as Extension Labor Secretary of the League of Enforce Peace. Wil liam Howard Taft, former President of the United Sttes, now Chief Jus tice of the Supeme Court, was Presi dent of the League when Mr. Collins was Secretary. On many occasions the Executive Committee of the Lea gue of which President Lowell of Harvard University was Chairman would meet to hear internationall famous men, in law, diplomacy, re ligion, education and politics, give their confidential opinions and advice on not only the great question of world peace, but on other subjects that vitally affected the foundation of civilization, of international law. ethics, morality, revolution and pro? aganda. International experts who had come to America as personal rep resentatives of their government, to conferences with President Wilson, were frequently before the League executive committee which in it self was a group of leading Amer icans to offer their expert know ledge. At these meetings Mr. Col lins acquired unusual and profound information and knowledge of what was what in world affairs. Then too, he had the opportunity of reading and studying the correspondence be tween the League and the great thinkers, diplomatists, ministers and ambassadors (and in some instances, rulers of nations, throughout the world. He learned to know in no small degree the international mind, the seething whirlpool of world propaganda and the methods of the whispering galleries of modern dip lomacy. Then too. his personal con tact with the attitude of American Labor (and the so-called labor move ments of foreign nations) in regard to these great moral issues, problems and evils gave him clear insight into the mind of the mass, what they thought and what their reactions were to modern menacing movements. Thus Mr. Collins has had in this respect an opportunity that few men get in a lifetime to meet intimately great world leaders and to know from that experience that prime things that concern vitally the fu ture of our Institutions. Mr. Collins' lecture is free to the public. No collection is taken up and questions are gladly and cour teously answered.

Family Feud Principals are Given Freedom Testimony at Inquest That Court Set tlement Was Refused by Two Assailants. North Platte, April 16. A cor oner's jury decided that it was de fensive warfare that won the feud between the Ridenour and Moore families over custody of three little children, in whose veins coursed the blood of both. The jury exonerated the four Ridenour men of blame for the kill ing of Frank Moore, 30, and his father, Charles Moore, of Dunning. Neb., at the Ridenour home south of Sutherland, Neb., Saturday night. The jury found that the Moores went armed with guns and knives to the Ridenour home to take the three children of Frank Moore and Viola Ridenour Moore from the Ride nour home by force. The jury de clared the Ridenours acted in self defense. Legal Method Rejected. O. A. Ridenour, father of Mrs. Frank Moore, declared the Ridenours acted solely in self-defense, and at tempted to persuade the Moores to let the domestic relations court de cide the custody of the children this week, when it was to hear his daugh ter's suit for divorce against Frank Moore. O. A. Ridenour, dangerously wounded, is in a hospital. His story was told on the hospital bed. He said: "About six years ago my daugh ter was married to Frank Moore. We had been friends of theMoore family for 33 years. After the first son was born to my daughter, she and her husband started having trouble. Had Knife, Claim. "Mrs. Moore was compelled to stay at her father-in-law's home, where she was mistreated. She wanted her husband to get a home of their own, but he refused. Trouble between the two continued until last August, when they agreed to take the mat ter to court. My daughter returned to my home, retaining the custody of the children. At times the two families met and we were threaten ed on several occasions. "When the two Moores came to my house last Saturday evening, de manding the custody of the children, I insisted that they wait until the case was settled in court. Frank Moore would not listen to this, and brandished a butcher knife he had brought with him." Correspondent Testifies. One of the chief witnesses was Hazel Keller, the domestic named by Mrs. Viola Moore in her suit for di vorce from Frank Moore. She had driven to the Ridenour home with the Moores and remained in their auto. Another was Adren Ridenour, who was unhurt, although bullets passed through his clothing. His brothers, John and 9rchie. were also wounded in the family battle over custody of the three little Moore children, who remained in another part of the Ridenour house with their mother while the men folk ar gued and shot it out. The eldest of the children over whom the battle was fought is 7. The youngest was born after Frank and Viola separated last fall. Y. Rl B. C.
