of it at first but the party said "you
have beer written on your window."
This was true for some one had writ
ten this on windows about town some

best to have the words removed from
the window. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Lancaster Store
at Murray Again
Suffers Robbery
Loss of Considerable Stock in Lines
of Clothing Reported by
Owner of Store.
The store of Earl Lancaster at
Murray, which in the past has suf
fered robbery many times, added an
other to the list of the visits of rob
bers on Wednesday night or early
Thursday morning. When Mr. Lan
ocnr nrrivpri to onen the store
Thursday he fcund the too familiar
traces that someone else had been
there first.
A panel in the rear door of the
store had been broken out and which
allowed the person to unlock the
door and make entrance into the
main room of the building.
The stock taken consisted largely
of sox, stockings, overalls, coats and
shoes and other articles of wearing
apparel and which is disposed of more
easily than other lines as being sea
sonable and in ready demand. Some
candy and cigarettes also were re
ported as missing.
Sheriff Homer Sylvester and De
puty Sheriff Jarvis Lancaster, bro
ther of the store owner, were noti
fied and spent the greater part of
Thursday in looking over the situ
ation and endeavoring to secure some
trace of the robbers.
The store in the past has been fre
quently robbed and the last attempt
resulted in the capture by a posse, of
the man robbing the store and who
later named as his accomplice Ernest
Verhule of this city, who wa3 cap
tured in Omaha and is now serving
sentence for the offense. Since the
capturo of the former robbers the
store has been unmolested but is
now apparently again being made
the prey of the gang of store robbers
that have visited the small towns of
the east part of the state.

TALE OF UNIVERSITY DAYS
In the February issue of the Ne
braska Alumnus, official paper of the
Nebraska Alumni association, ap
pears an interesting article by Ned
C. Abbott of Nebraska City. Mr. Ab
bott has for many years been the
superintendent of the School for the
Blind at Nebraska City, officiating
between a term there to be the head
of the Plattsmouth city schools.
It was back in the day3 of mauve
nineties that Mr. Abbott was a gay
blade at the state university, thereby
hanging the interesting story. The
now dignified and staid school head
was one of those selected to take part
in a Greek play at the Charter Day
observance in 1894. The article had
a striking picture of the genial Ned
C. in all of the glories of the costume
that might have been worn by the
dwellers of "Athens in' its prime.
The origin of the' costume is the
rpice of the story and is delightfully
related by Mr. Abbott and should af
ford many an old grad a pleasant
memory. Former governor Arthur J.
Weaver was also one of the cast of
the play. Beg, borrow or steal a copy
of the Alumnus and read the his
tory of "The Tyndarus Costume."

THE LAST RUN
On
this mundane sphere
of
action,
Man finds himself just now.
The stage is filled with attrac
tion, And the actors are preparing
to bow.
Some are on duty at every
moment,
To run when the chief com
mands. For to reach that lofty sum
mit. One should obey when duty
demands.
We must often encounter re
sistance, But faithful to duty we run,
And never faltering we trust
for assistance.
And receive it from the Father
and Son.
No questions should be asked
when the call comes,
But to duty we should quickly
bound,
Whether we sing the words to
the music, or just hums
With no melody within to re
sound. The fires may burn within 'with
fury,
And consume the most unwel
come dross.
But for the last run we should
hurry,
And bow at the foot of tho
cross.
When this stage of action
closes,
And we survey its stages o'er,
Life's dream is pictured in si
lent poses.
And the curtain is dropped, but
then i3 more.
The scene opens on another
great plain,
When the last run is stayed
for the end,
And visions of harmony have
banished all pain
As the scriptures most surely
defend. "T"
