Fremont, Neb, Nov. !. (Spnul.)
The Firnt Nation! Bank ot Fre
mont, which closed in door to the
public Monday rnorninir. hat a lonu
and intrrMting history, being the de
velopment of the first bank founded
in Fremont and Dodge county in
1K66, 10 yean after Fremont took it
. place on the map -of Nebraska.
The impetus gained by the little
village at that time through the
building of the t'nion Pacific rail
way through the Platte valley, gave
rie to the birth of the initial insti
tution, then known as the I'ioneer
bank, operated by K. II. Rogers &
Co. In connection with their real
mate offices li. II. and L, 11. Rog
ers opened the private hanking house
which has since thrn developed into
the First National Hank of Fremont.
Very humble quarters in a one-story
frame building housed the first hank
ing institution in this city, with the
front end of the structure occupied
by a hardware concern. Later when
the banking business looked good,
the owners constructed a separate
one-story square front building for
the accommodation of (lie hank. It
flourished rapidly in this building
and for some years was the only
bank in the town or county.
In 1872 the bank was reorganized,
becoming the First National bank.
The. first capital was $S0.00 with
Theron Nye as president, fu 1914
the hank went into' its new home
on Main and Sixth street where a
five-story steel and concrete build
ing was constructed. It seems to
have been an ill-fated building for
since that t:uic the Nye-Schneidcr-Fowlcr
company, one of the largest
grain corporations in the middlcwcst,
whose main headquarters are in the
same building, floundered on the
rocks in practically the same man-n-.

Two-Minute Sermons
Written Especially for The Bee by Gipsy Smith
No one should ever be able to say
of any woman, "She made it easy
for a man to do
wrong." God
never made a
woman thus, to
pull men down,
but to be corn
pan i 0 n , wife,
mother, friend and
inspiration.
I suppose you
would call Hcrod
ias and her daugh
ter, Salome ,
"vamps," today.
She danced He
rod into the pit of
perdition, and
danced the head
of John the Bap
tist off. Her whole
life was given over to evil, self in
dulgence and voluptuous pleasure.
It ended in the rtfm of the king and
the disgrace of his court, the degra
dation of her own child and a place
in the Bible history as the cruel
murderess of the forerunner and
cousin of Christ.
Another example ' of a vampire
woman is Drusilla. the mate of Fe-
Christian Lives .

World Is Dying for Want
Of Christ, Evangelist
Declares.
Business men and women were
urged to live more Christian lives
and to, think less of worldly' and
more of spiritual things by Gipsy
Smith, evangelist in his noonday ad
dress at the Brandeis yesterday. ;
"If Jesus came quietly into your
office today, shut the door and sat
down to talk with you, what would
you do and what would you tell
Him?" the evangelist asked.
"If he showed you all the ugly
things yon had tolerated what would
you" do? Would you do as Peter did
and say,-4We believe Thou art the
Christ?' '
"Would you have written that let
ter or transacted that business? Cast
out earthly things that are ugly. Let
Jesus come into your life. He is a
saving influence in society, home or
the business world. He is necessary
to all. The world is dying for the
want of Christ."
The Rev. Arthur Atack preceded
the evangelist and delivered a splen
did sermon, He pleaded for an ap
preciation of the value of Christ.

with the governor. When the Apos
tle Paul stood beore the pair, he
spoke pointedly of morality and. fu
ture punishment. The governor
trembled, but Drusilla was un
abashed. Just as it is possible for women to
soar to heights unreached by men,
so is it possible for women to fall
fa'rther than any man, once they do
start downward.
It is within the power of women
to make the world anew. They can
inspire the noblest instincts of men,
and ought to do nothing through
their general deportment and manner
of dress that would lower the re
spect in which they are held.

forgiven." , t
