Mrs. George Everett of Union, who
is at the Methodist hospital at Oma
ha was operated on this morning for
an inward goitre from which she
has been a sufferer for some time and
which has seriously affected the
health of the patient. Mrs. Everett
has been at the hospital for the past
two weeks taking treatment that
would place her in condition for the
operation and as the result of the
course of treatment is now thought
to be in shape for the operation. The
patient has been suffering for some
time from poor health and which
rendered her condition such that it
was necessary to undergo the hospi
tal treatment and operation in the
hope of securing any permanent relief.

There was an old man
from St. Bees
Who was stung in the
head by a wasp.
When asked if it hurt
He replied, "No, it
doesn't
thought all the time
'twas a hormt."
Misfortune may strike at you
fr;m many an angle . . . from
a wasp sting developing into
blood poison to having your
house burn down. But if your
insurance is in the hands of
this agency of the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company, then
it won't hurt so much, because
you can think all the time that
you are well protected.

GIVE DELIGHTFUL RECITAL
'"rom Weilnesctajrs Darty
Last evening the second of the
music week offerings was presented
at the a'.iditorium of the First Pres
byterian church and in which the
Women's club chorus was featured
in several very charming numbers
as well as solo selections and read
ings.
The members of the committee re
gretted very much that Miss Dorothy
Sturm of Nehawka was unable to be
present to give her whistling num
bers but Miss Sturm will appear on
the program at the M. E. church
this evening.
This program of the evening given
was as follows:
Piano duet Mrs. George L. Far
ley, Miss Estelle Baird.
"The Last Rose of Summer,"
"Life's Dream," "Dear. Dear What
Can the Matter Be," Women's club
chorus.
Vocal solo Mrs. Harry Schultz.
"Bethlehem," "Lullaby." Club
chorus.
Duet Mrs. Woolcott, Mrs. Rea.
Reading Mrs. J. A. Capwell.
"Sweetest Little Feller," "The
Rosary," Club Chorum.
"Who Is Sylvia," "Hark. Hark the
Lark," Miss Keefer, Mrs. Leosis, Mrs.
Garnett.
There was a very large attendance
and the numbers received with a
great deal of delight by the appre
ciative audience.
This evening the third feature of
music week will be the Men's Glee
club at the Methodist church.
WHY NOT JOINT BANQUET ?
The immense success and pleasure
that was derived by the banquet of
the Plattsmouth Woman's club has
led to the suggestion from many that
at least one banquet a year be held
as a civic affair in which both the
ladies and gentlemen can be guests
on an equal footing and the event be
a "dutch treat."
The movement is one that is
worthy of consideration and for the
event should it be arranged for next
fall or in the early winter, one of
the outstanding women of the state
could be secured for the event. This
is a matter that the Happy Hundred
committee should consider and make
one of the series of the fall and win
ter banquets a "mixer" for the men
and women of the community.
RE-RECORATES SHOP
Ross Baker, who recently pur
chased the Stewart barber shop on
Main street is having the room ar
ranged with a modernistic designs
of black and white as the color
scheme of the paper and painting
of the shop room and which i3 being
carried out by Frank R. Gobelman
and his force of workmen and when
completed the shop will be one of the
most attractive in the city and a very
pleasant and attractive place of business.
j From Wednesday's rally
I Yesterday Miss Mia U. Gering,
j former county treasurer, paid into
the omee or the clerk or the district
court the sum of $5,942.79, repre
senting the amount above the bond
and the dividends received from the
defunct First National bank for
funds that had been deposited in the
bank by the county treasurer prior
to the close of the bank on Decem
ber 14, 1920.
At the time of the failure of the
bank Miss Gering was county treas
urer of Cass county and on December
,2. 1926, deposited with the First Na
tional bank a check of $24,000 and
before this amount was checked out,
the bank closed its dcors on Decem
ber 14th, 192C and with the result
that the county funds -were tied up
in the failed bank, altho Miss Gering
.".s treasurer, had started an action
to have the amount due the county
on their checking accounts, declared
a trust fund and so handled.
The amount above thev ($20,000
bond carried by the bank for the
protection of the county funds was
$10,892.18. and for the protection
of this amount it was sought to have
a preferred claim on the receiver of
the First National bank and this
case was carried to the state supreme
court where after the trial of the
case a part of the money of the coun
ty traced through the bank was made
a preferred claim and leaving the
amount that was necessary to settle
for at $5,942.79 r.nd which was turn
ed into the treasury by Miss Gering
to cover the loss.
The case is one that is generally
regretted as it has imposed a very
heavy burden on Miss Gering. a most
efficient officer, in making it neces
sary for her to supply the excess of
the funds which were caught in the
First National bank in its failure and
for whose protection Miss Gering had
insisted that the bond be supplied
but which was never fulfilled. The
necessity of making this amount good
has practically made two year3 of
the service of Miss Cering as treasur
er a sacrifice as the amount more
than off sets the salary that she has
received and in the matter, Miss Ger
ing was wholly the loser.

Thursday woke up in a snowstorm
but in the afternoon it saw Chile
and Peru reach an accord on the
Tacna-Arica question. Thus, no mat
ter how the day starts there may be
something to give three cheers about
before the sunset, which is something
to remember "O, ye of little faith."
Homer Spangler Takes Mile Run in
New Record and Also is Sec
ond in the Half Mile
From Mnnrtav's Dallv
The M-I-N-K track meet at Peru
Saturday in which schools from east
ern Nebraska, western Iowa and
northern Missouri and Kansas were
competing was one of the most large
ly attended in recent years, with a
very large representation from all
sections.
The Plattsmouth high school, how
ever was not as largely represented
as in the past years and two of the
track stars, Hamilton Meisinger and
Chet Wiles were unable to be at the
meet.
The local school, however, was able
to annex a first and second at the
southeastern event, Homer Spangler,
senior in the high school being able
to show his stuff in the mile run to
lower the meet record heretofore held
by Barnard Galloway, who captured
this event in 1928. The local race
horse stepped off the mile in 4:45.7,
clipping a little over three seconds
from the record of Galloway and es
tablishing a new mark for the fu
ture racers to point for. In the half
mile. Spangler also scored second
place, with Ireland of Pawnee City
placing first in 2:9.17.
There were twenty-seven schools
entered and the meet was awarded to
Ilavelock in a close race with Te
cumseh for the total points. In the
meet five new records were set and
one tied and to the observers the
meet was one of the most interesting
in years.
