. Omaha and One at
Plattsmouth.
- Two 'automotte "loads- t Thanks
giving bottled cheei were comman
deered Thursday morning in the name
of the law of the great statJ of Ne
braska. 'One of the argosies of liquid
optimism contained 1,200 quart bot
tles; the other contained 2,500 pint
bottles.
This product of ' the distiller's art
was intended to spread Thanksgiving
cheer, but that intent has been given
a cruel blow by the authorities. -
These bottles of liquor now repose
as evidence in the police station of
Omaha and the county Jail at Platts
mouth. Caught at the Bridge.
Sergeant Madson and an entourage
of "booze hounds" stopped an auto
mobile a"the Douelas street bridge.
They arrested a man who gave his
name as James Berry of 4102 North
Sixteenth street. - in me car were
1,200 quarts of cheer. The automo
bile was taken to the police station
to be held as evidence. '
Special Prosecutor McGuire de
tailed two state agents' to the Platts
mouth bridge where a"h automobile
driven by "Herman Thinburg" was
taken into custody with 2,500 pints
of whisky. County Attorney Cole
I and Sheriff Pittman assisted in the
Plattsmouth raid.
It is alleged that in each instance
the liquor was bought in St. Joseph
and intended to be used by, bootleg
gers in Omaha on Thanksgiving day.

Omaha yesterday joined with all the

posts in opening its hospitable homes
to the soldiers iti our midst.
More invitations were surjplied by
The Bee to both Fort Omaha and
Fort Crook than the officers could
possibly fill, even allowing the largest
quota to leave the forts that army
regulations would permit.
The Young Men's Christian asso
ciations in both posts also reported
an excess of dinner livitations, so
fully did thl spirit of the day move
big-hearted men and women of
Omaha.
Khaki-clad men by the hundreds,

of the otherwise lonesome Sammies.
Six automobiles went out to Fort
Crook at 10 o'clock to convey the
men to the Burke home., Dinner was
served in the large school dining

WHOLESOME DAY
OF THANKS HOLDS
FORTHJN OMAHA
Kindness and Chanty Play
Prominent Part in Observ
ance; Soldiers Guests in
jVlany Homes.
A good, old-fashioned, wholesome
Thanksgiving yesterday in Omaha.
Kindness and charity had a large
place in the observance of the day.
Devotionsjn the churches and whole
some amusement in the theaters occu
pied the hours. Foot ball games and
motoring took the people out of doors.
Omahans celebrated sanely and as
oeoDle who pause in the rush of the
great things they are doing.
Stores, oanKS, puonc omces were
closed all day and thousands of em
ployes had a day of rest ,and recrea
tion, ; .
. ; . -Church .Sar vice s Genual.
Church services were Keneral in the
morning. Some , young people's so
cieties held special sunrise prayer
meetings. Mass and special sermons
marked the day in Catholic churches.
Protestant churches of the city held
union services, those of the Farnani
rlistrirt. Kountze Park district. Han
scorn park district and Walnut Hill
district uniting in a selected church
at their resDective districts. The
Lutheran churches of the city held
union services in Grace Lutheran
church, where Rev. S. De Freese
nrearhed the sermon.
And dinner! There was no scarcity
of the roval bird at Omaha tables,
Omahans obeyed the injunction to
"eat heartily without wasting." If
there was any poor family without a
Thanksrivine dinner it was because
the poor family had kept itself con
cealed successfully from the chant
able organizations and many Individ
uals who were distributing good
things to eat. ,
Due to The Bee.
The soldiers bovs stationed at
Omaha were royally taken care of.
Several hundred of them were enter
tained in various homes of Omaha
and vicinitv as a result of the cam
paign of The Beev to the mutual pleas
ure of both guests and hostesses.
Hotel dining rooms were filled to
capacity, all of them serving sprcial
dinners for the day.
The war tax had no effect in
keeoinir oeonle away from the thea
ters. for thevwere crowded to capac

crowds waited in the lobbies for
