Group Pay Visit
Out in County
Enjoy Band Concert at Weeping Wa
ter; Also Spend Several Hours
at Louisville Festival.
Thursday evening some four car
loads of members of the Cass County
County Young Democrats and friends
made a short swing out into the cen
tral portion of the county to meet
their friends in the organization
there and also to instill a spirit of
enthusiasm for the re-election of
President Roosevelt.
The members of the party first
visited at Weeping Water, which
pleasant city was filled with large
numbers In order to enjoy the band
concert which was presented by the
crack band of that city. The Weep
ing Water band is one of the best in
the county and certainly their well
arranged and artistic programs are
very much appreciated Dy me iaii,c
audiences. Weeping W ater and its
business houses are presenting an in
teresting picture of the returning
prosperity of the past few years. At
Weeping Water a large group of new
members was received to add to the
rolls of the Cass County Young Dem
ocrats.
The caravan on the return journey
came by way of Louisville where the
chamber of commerce and the Amer
ican Legion post are staging a three
day homecoming and fall festival that
has drawn out a large crowd and
furnished" tun and entertainment for
the residents for many miles around.
The festival is being held on the
main street of the town where there
are rides, concessions anu seinui
shows set along the sides to form a
real midway. Thursday evening in
addition to the usual crowd of Louis
ville folks out for a good time, a
large delegation of boosters from
Springfield, headed by their band,
were on the" job to tell of the fine
picnic that is to be held next week
at the Sarpy county town and which
is always a big annual event. Among
the members of the Springfield band
was George Lutter, former Platts
mouth musician.
WHO IS OLDEST RESIDENT i
A group of old time residents of
the city were discussing the matter
of who is the oldest continuous resi
dent of the city now living here. The
passing years have taken toll of many
of the real old time residents anu
few are left who have been here over
a period of sixty years. The discus
sion developed the fact that probably
the person living here the longest
period of time is Albert Rcinackie,
residing on Wintersteen hill. Mr.
Reinackle was born in this city in
18C0 and has since made his home
here, his parents coming here several
years before the outbreak of the Civil
war and he was born just as the
shadows of the Civil war were men
acing the land. Certainly this record
is one that will be hard to surpass
of a lifetime spent in this community.

From Saturday's Daily:
Melodies sweet are enjoyed by all
the world, but wafttd cn the night
breezes by the shrill alcoholic tenor,
they are the bunk, so says the mem
bers of the night police force, Officers
Piekrtll and Lancaster.
Last night when the householders
were wendintr their way home worn
the business sc. lion, Frank Sloan and
Eddie Rzoner, who claimed their
residence as the ' government camp
north of this city, filled with the
spirits of many potent brand3, started
their concert of song that eventually
led to their downfall. They failed to
take advantage of the opportunity of
retreating to their base and as the
consequence were escorted to the city
pail to rest and recuperate from the
strenuous evening of wine and song
but no women.
This morning the two men were
arraigned before Judge Charles L.i
Graves in police court, Sloan to face
a charge of intoxication and disturb
ing the peace and his companion for
drunkenness. After hearing the evi
dence offered the court gave Sloan a
jolt of $10 and costs that amounted
to SI 4. while Rzoner was civen a
fine of $8 for the intoxication and
which totaled $10.

the farm of 11. L. Bornemeier, be

the Conradt Uaumgartner farm and
others at various locations where a
natural lake once existed but has
dried up. Henry Tool is in receipt of
considerable correspondence on thi3
subject from A. I,. Tidd, of Platts
mouth. The question is one of state
and national interest.
Given Farewell Reception
During the time the P. T. Johnson
family has resided in Murdock (near
ly eight years), there has always
been maintained a bond of friend
ship between Mr. Johnson and wife
and the people of the community,
and now that they are moving to an
other field of labor, the ladies of
the Intension club gave a farewell
reception for Mrs. Johnson, who has
been active in 4-H club work, with
a large number present and a fine
time had by all on last Monday even
ing. This was followed by a similar
function on Wednesday evening,
given by the ladies of the church
and Bible school. A program was
followed by the serving of ice cream
and cake.
Complete Work for Army
Matthew Thimgan and son, Victor,
have just completed the building of
a considerable number of tent frames
for use at the encampment of the
National Guards at Ashland, some of
wood and some of steel. The army
officers who had the work done were
so favorably impressed with the use
fulness and durability of the steel
frames that Mr. Thimgan was asked
to go to Camp Dodge, near Dcs
Moines, and there demonstrate his
steel frame, but as he has the con
struction of a dwelling house on his
hands, which was to be completed
in a stipulated time, he had to de
cline the invitation to go to Des
Moines.
Arrive Home from West
After spending some ten days in
the mountains of Colorado, Gust
Pendt and his daughter. Miss Myr
tle, returned home last Tuesday
evenTTig, well pleased with their out
ing. They found the mountain breezes
cool and refreshing and at nights
slept under cover while folks here
were sweltering in the heat. How
ever they found pretty much the
same drouth conditions everywhere
they went, supporting the claim of
this year's drouth being the most
severe and widespread of any in the
history of our country.
Kittenball Results
Last Tuesday night on the lighted
playing field, before the usual largo
crowd, the Lutherans defeated the
Tigers, 18 to 11, while the Bible
School team of Murdock won over
the Callahan team by a score of 10
to 2.
Filling His Silo
Ferd A. Brunkow was one of the
comparatively few farmers who tried
out pit silos during the drouth of
1934, and found it a good way to
conserve his feed. So he has cleaned
out tfie old silo and enlarged it, and
expects to fill it again with feed for
the coming winter. The time is now
at hand to cut the corn for' ensilage
and there are very few fields where
the yield promises to be sufficient to
make it worth while to give up this
feed supply in exchange for the corn
that might be realized if they were
let stand till husking time.

Miss Uaumgartner is to teach in the

Water Works Working
The new waterworks system has
been touted and found capable of
meeting the requirements set forth
in the specifications. Last Wednes
day, after 43 hours of continuous;
pumping, the tank was full and the
well was seemingly as strong v-x
ever, furnishing a full even flow of
water at every stroke of the pumps.
The tank showed slight leaks at
some of the joints and the water
was run out, being used to settle
the dirt in the trenches where mains
had been laid. The leaks were mark
ed and the concern that erected the
tank had workmen here to tighten
up the rivets, after which the tank
was given its final coat of paint,
this having been left until after a
test could be made to determine the
places of leaks. This completed their
job, and the tank is now filled with
a supply , of fresh, pure water for
'ihc use of patrons of the new water
works system.
Attended Services at Fremont
Li. Ncitzel and daughter, Mrs.
Clara Hartung made a trip to Cedar
Bluffs last Sunday to visit at the
home of Mrs. J. J. Martin, sister of
the late Mrs. L. Neitzel. Mr. Neitzel
continued on to Fremont to attend
the Evangelical church, which he
found deserted. He then went to the
M. E. church to worship, but says
he did not find that fine edifice over
crowded. With a seating capacity of
800 or more, there were something
over 100 present. Mr. Neitzel be
lieves Fremont is overchurched, or
the people lack interest in the work
of the church, as demonstrated by
the way they turned out Sunday.
They returned home that evening,
having enjoyed a most pleasant visit
at Cedar Bluffs.
VISITING FK0M UTAH
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Somerville and
three little daughters and Mr. Som
