F. were hosts last evening to a large group of visitors from Pacific Junction, la., Louisville and Green wood to enjoy a fraternal gathering. The degree team of the Pacific Junction lodge was present and con ferred the ritualistic work on a class of candidates of the order, the offi cers conferring the work in a most impressive manner. During the evening the members of the fraternal group had the pleas ure of several inspiring addresses along the lines of fraternal work. Postmaster Moore of Pacific Junc tion, who has been a member of the order for the past fifty-eight years was one of the speakers of the eve ning and told of many of the inci dents of his long work in the order. Fred V. Ethredge, Greenwood, one of the active members of the order also spoke, as did Past District Grand Master W. E. Newkirk of Greenwood, who gave an inspiring talk on the principles of the great fraternal or ganization. The members of the party also had the pleasure of hear ing from John H. Busche, of Louis ville, a former Plattsmouth resident and long a member of the I. O. O. F. The meeting was presided over by Alex" Schliscke, newly installed noble grand of the Plattsmouth lodge. Following the lodge session the members adjourned to the banquet room of the building where the Re bekahs had prepared and served a fine repast that aided in the making of a very happy and interesting evening. air DoDOOOETODiKS Public Liability Fire Property Damage Theft Tornado and E-Iail Collision GET A POLICY COVERING ANY ONE OR ALL OF THESE RISKS from Duxbury G Davis Donat BIdg., Phone 56 Has Grain In spected for Cass Co.

Old friends of the George Acker man ramily in thsi city, nave re ceived word of the death of Paul Ackerman, 15, who was drowned while swimming in a gravel pit at Pasadena, California. The boy with some twelve companions were swim ming in the water filled gravel pit. With his chum, Robert Equi, young Ackerman had started to swim across the pit which was some fifty feet wide and 150 feet long. The boys were both poor swimmers and it is the opinion of the chum that Acker man became tired and was unable to make the distance. The companion of Ackerman had just reached the bank cf the pit and gotten out when he heard Ackerman call, thinking he was joking he suddenly was horror stricken to see Ackerman sink. Equi, who was unable to dive could not go to the rescue. Edward Ducey, one or the owners of the company on whose grounds the pit was located, dived seven times before he could .secure the body. The efforts of Mr. Duccy and the use of an inhalor was unable to revive the drowned boy. The dead boy is survived by the rarents ,one sister, Rita, and three brothers, Ted, Don and Richard. He was a tenth grade Ftudent at the Washington Junior high school of Pasadena. The Ackerman family resided in this city for a number of years in tne late eighties and the early nine ties and the parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Ackerman removed from this city to Lincoln some thirty-five years ago. The boy was a nephew of V. F. Ackerman, superintendent of the Burlington shops at Havelock.

SKIP CATTLE AND HOGS Monday evening two car load3 of the whiteface cattle and a car of hogs were shipped over the Burling ton from this city to Chicago. The cattle and Logs were shipped by the well known feeders, Boedeker & Wehrbein of Murray.

Ramsel's A picture appearing in the Be lieve It or Not, section of tho metro politan papers, prepared by Ripley, brought the recollection of a strange character to a Plattsmouth lady. The picture by Ripley told of Mrs. Mary Eckert, of Falladasburg, Penn sylvania, who for thirty-two years carried a nickel clasped in her hand. Mrs. Eckert was known by Mrs. V. i:. uosencrar.s or mis city, who as a girl resided near the Eckert farm and often had seen the strange char- actor. When a girl of seven and I eight years, Mr3. Roaencrans had house who noticed him but thought he was only barking. Then Mr3. Briggs said go tell Mrs. Ellington and the dog went and barked and Mrs. Ellington and daughter Bertha said wonder what ail3 Tatters, but did not think any more about the matter. Mrs. Briggs then crawled on a portion of the stairway and called to some kiddies playing In the tourist park.

The Vallery Oilers of this city won a clore and hard foueht came from the- Junior Four Mile Creek team Shnday. The local boys took the bat tle by the score of 16 to 15. "Dusty" Rhodes, well known youthful hurlef was on the mound for the Oilers while Eugene Meisinger whiffed the court ball over for the Creeker3.

The game was a real bat tle to the last and the smashing two sacker of Clifton Clark in the ninth inning was responsible for bringing over the run that spelled victory. ASKS TCP.
