From Thursday's rally
The Parent-Teachers association
of the Wintersteen Hill school last
evening celebrated Founders Day,
the anniversary of the organization
cf the national P. T. A. as well as
the eighth anniversary of its estab
lishment in Plattsmouth.
The program given honored the
memory of George Washington as
well as the P. T. A. and had been
arranged by Alfred Edgerton. The
program and meeting was presided
over by Frank Rice.
The toy band, composed of the lit
tle folks of' the school opened the
program before the audience that
filled the room, the clever little or
ganziation giving a most interesting
feature. Miss Edith Cook, one cf the
teachers of the school, played for
the youngsters.
Mrs. E. H. Wescctt, gave two very
happily selected patriotic n.umbers
"The Father of the Land Ye Love,"
rind "Home Again." both appropriate
to the forthcoming Washington bi
centennial.
Mr. E. II. Wescott was presented
in two piano solos, one of the offi
cial march written for the Wash
ington inaugural, "Hail Columbia,"
as well as "The Stars and Stripes
Forever."
Dr. Frank L. Cummins, president
cf the board cf education, gave
very interesting talk on the schools
and their work and particularly
complimented the teachers on their
work with the children. Dr. Cum
mins also commended the work of
the P. T. A. in making for a better
condition in the relations of the pat
rons to the schools.
Frank A. Cloidt, secretary of the
board cf education gave two vocal
numbers, "Somewhere a Voice Is
Calling" and " Neopclitan Nights."
In honor of the anniversaiy of the
P. T. A. a large birthday cake with
the forty-three candles was brought
in and the presiding officer called
upen Superintendent R. E. Bailey to
cut the cake and which he did after
a few remarks of appreciation of the
work of the teachers and the P. T. A.
The Wintersteen Hill P. T.A. has
been one of the active bodies in the
city and have by their efforts added
greatly to the comfort of the school,
retaining a great interest in the
work. The school also has two very
efficient and well qualified teachers
in Miss Edith Cook and Miss Ruth
Tidball who have made a fine show
ing this year in their work with the
children.
Some very important matters of
interest pertaining to the school as
well as the communtiy were taken
up in the short business session held
preceding the program. A matter of
great interest was a communication
from the publicity committee of the
Chamber of Commerce requesting the
co-operation and urging the purchase
and use of Plattsmouth made prod
ucts wherein the committee stressed
the point htat the people cf Flatts
mouth woJld be well rewarded by
the added employment to Platts
mouth people in the manufacture of
these commodities. The secretary
was directed to acknowledge the lit
ter assuring the Chamber of Com
merce of hearty co-operation in this
program.
It was decided at the next regu
lar meeting which is to be held Wed
nesday, March 16th, to dispense with
the program and devote the evening
to the important subject of "Child
Study." A unique feature of this
meeting will be the serving of re
freshments by the men.

CARD OF THANES
Ereslau. Former King Friedrich
August of Saxony, "the royal phil
osopher of Sybilenort," died Thurs
day night from a stroke of apoplexy.
He was sixty-five. He was found in
his bed in his casiie, near Breslau,
in a critical condition and failed to
regain consciousness.
King Friedrich, -one cf the mcst
popular rulers of his time, was noted
fcr his wit, which stood him in good
stead in the revolution of 1918, when
he lost his thron?. The king was
at his beautfiul estate at Moritzburg
when the news came from the repub
licans. He was politely asked by
telephone if he would relinquish his
throne Villingly. "Oh,, well. I sup
pose I'd better." He was told the
workers and solder council had
taken control of Saxony. His retort,
since become a classic in Germany,
was: "Well, then, do ycir dirty
business by yourselves."
King Friedrich a"nd the kaiser
never were on tco good terms. The
kaiser referred to his cousin as some
thing of a "clown." At another
time, honors went to Friedrich. It
was in Berlin on the former kaiser's
birthday that the Wilhelru took oc
casion to thank his "dear cousin"
for his delicate thoughtfulness.
4'Oh, not at all," was the reply,
"I wanted to come to the dog show,
anyway."
"R ATT, HOLDINGS CRITICIZED
Washington. The holdings of the
Pennsylvania railroad were describ
ed as a threat to plans of the inter
state commerce commission and
wishes of New England interests at
two separate hearings. Governor Ely
cf Massachusetts, testifying against
a consolidation proposal to group
eastern lines into four great systems,
told Chairman Porter that the inter
state commerce commission should
take some action to eliminate hold
ings of the Pennsylvania and Penn
road corporation, Pennsylvania hold
ing company, in New England lines.
At the capitol, meanwhile, Dr.
Walter Splawn, transportation ex
pert, testified before the house inter
state commerce committee that the
Pennsylvania was rapidly reaching a
position that would enable it "to
block" consolidation plans of the
ccmmis3ion.
fixed a note saying that five bodies
wcui.l be found at his house.
Diieciicns in Note.
Authorities discarded the thecrv ! orpcration
advanced by Sheriff M. A. Mam
niir.pa that after being shot, Mrs.
Andreesen revived sufficiently to
procure the shotgun and kill her
husband on his return from town.
The tragedy occurred about 7 a. m.
Coroner Coffnian pointed out that,
although the shotgun was found on
the woman's body and that the
bodies of the husband and wife were
about 10 feet apart, the recoil of
the weapon might have sent it
against her, and the nature of her
wound was such that death most
likely was instant. -
Harvey Dilger, employe of the
Stent Auto company, found the note,
signed, simply "Nanno." It read:
"Go up to the Andreesen place and
ycu will find five dead bcdes."
Owed Father Money,
With Clarence Wilson and Albert
Nieman, he drove to the farm home
and found the bodies, those of the
two children in night clothing. In
dications were that they were at
breakfast when killed.
Financial difficulties are believed
to have caused the farmer to commit
the crime. His father, Henry N. An-
