The com REMOVING OLD LANDMARK From Monday's Daily This morning the work of dis mantling and tearing down the two story building at th-i junction of Seventh and Pearl streets and Chi cago avenue, was started. This two story building was erect ed some forty years ago by the A. O. (J. W. and who continued to use the building until if was purchased by the Knights of Columbus and who have since occupied the building and at their last meeting deposed of the structure to a Red Oak wrecking company. A- one story building once occupied the site and where the firm of Soen nichsen & Schirk operated a store and later Henry Zuckweiler and E. P. Lutz operated their grocery for sev eral years. The Knights ef Columbus are still owners of the lot and their plans for the future as to the property have not been decided upon. NARROWLY ESCAPES INJURY Wednesday Mrs. Ted Kruger, nar rowly escaped being wounded at her apartment in the Roessler residence by a bullet from a .22 rifle. Mrs. Kruger had been in the bath room of the home which is situated cn the north side of the house and was leaving tb.e room When there was a crash of shattered glass and a bullet sped just a fraction of an inch from Mrs. Kruger and buried itself in the well of the room. The bullet was later extracted from-the wall by Chief of Police William Barclay who was notified of the shooting. It Is thought that the bullet was fired from a rifle from ? point north of the Roessler residence where the ground is much higher, the course of the bullet indicating that it had traveled dawnward. It was apparently a wild shot that had accidently hit the house. ART EXHIBIT On Tuesday, November 14, dur ing the afternoon and evening the eighth grade girls will, sponsor an art exhibit sent out. by the Colonial Art company of Oklahoma City, Okla homa.

In the Fullerton ( Nebraska dis trict, employees throughout this di vision of the company have worked 3,770 consecutive calendar days with out a lost-time accident. This total equals more than ten consecutive years. The trophy for this outstand ing record, to be awarded to the em ployees of the Fullerton district, is shown at the right of the illustra tion. Safety records for employees in all other districts during the contest were good. The composite of these district records, of course, made it possible for the company to achieve top ranking in national safety hon ors. It is a tribute to the careful habits of the men and shows what can be accomplished in reducing lost time accidents by co-operative effort FIND INTERESTING POSTER An item of interest especially at this armistice time, was unearthed Friday by workmen who are engaged In tearing down the building of the Knights of Columbus at 7th and Chi cago avenue. In the wall of the building was a small crevice and here was a small book which was secured and in this was a poster. The poster was a call for volunteers for the U. S. in June of 1917, for men from 18 to 40 to enlist for the emergency only and in glowing terms told of the $30 per month, chance to go to West Point, get a commis sion and to see the world. The greater interest to the find was the note written on the back of the now yellowed poster and penned by Monsignor M. A. Shine, then the pastor of the St. John's church here, which follows: "I picked up this poster on the grounds of the state capitol in Lin coln, on Thursday, June 14, 1917, during the speech of Theodore Roosevelt, ex-president of the United States, and on the last day -of the semi-centennial celebration of the state of Nebraska." "When 1 am dead, gone and for gotten, this will be a valuable his torical relic, like many other seem ingly insignificant things in our daily .lives."

Mrs. Steinberg gave a very thor ough talk on the development of the glass industry down through the nges and the facts of the knowledge of glass making and uses from th time of the Egyptians. It was shown that in the developing of civilization the use of glass was growing and in the earlier periods the glassmakers were the only artisans who were per- ' mitted to associate in the higher' ruling classes of the old world. Glassmaking was introduced in the United States in 1825 and here it has had' one of its greatest developments and perfection. The speaker diStuss od the various lines of glass making and its influence on American life as the use wa3 spread over the coun try. The first known American glass makers were William Henry Stiegal and Caspar Wistar, who operated a factory in New Jersey. "Mrs. Steinberg had with her a col lection of glass that was a treat to the collectors of beautiful and odd glasswear, a collection of paper weights" being particularly interest ins as these once popular articles around the household are again be coming in general use, and those that Mrs. Steinberg had with her were of exceptional interest. She also had a number of cup plates, an antique article of use for the table. A number of the Plattsmouth ladies also had collections at the hotel which created a great interest as they, were in a number of cases quite rare pieces and much enjoyed. At the conclusion of the evening tea and cakes were served the mem bers of the group. Mrs. F. R. Gobel- man. Miss Pearl Staats being at the serving. table.-. . :. . ., . .i vi.- - -r 1 ' . i ,; TEACHERS' EXAMINATION .
