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. Gillespie, who has been
so very gravely ill for the past sev
eral days at the Irnmanuel hospital

change since yestrdpy and her con
dition remains very serious. A blood
transfusion wr.s made late yesterday
in the hope of giving her more
strength but has made but little
change in her condition and which
gives but little hepe to the members
of the family circle.

Speaker Here
Next Sunday
Peter Collins of Boston Will Discuss
National Wide Subjects at
K. of C. 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.

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.
