COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
AN INTERESTING SESSION
Fairly Good Attendance and Much Enthusiasm Over Re
ports Made by Officers.
SAME OFFICERS ELECTED
Boaed of Directors Will be
at Some Time Later.
The meeting of the Plattsmouth
Commercial club which was held Wed
nesday evening was -fairly well at-
ended and as usual much enthusiasm
was shown over the reports made by
the oflieers and committees.
The first matter taken up was the
lection of oflieers, the old officials
laving shown themselves to be the
right men for the positions, confi-
fidencc in them was shown by a unam-
. t . on
lomus election as ioiiows:
J. P. Falter, President.
R. R. Windham, Vice President.
E. II. Wescott, Secretary.
R. V. Patterson, Treasurer.
The club voted to allow the presi
dent to appoint the board of direc
tors, which will be done later.
It is asking a great deal of a busi
ness man to put in the time which he
is compelled to put in as an official of
good live club such as the Platts
mouth club is. Especially is it a
hardship upon the Secretary, who has
to burn the midnight oil to keep up
the work whish naturally comes to
one who holds the position of sec
cretarv of an institution where so much
work is needed. There is plenty of
work for each officer of the club, but
the larger portion naturally falls upon
the secretary. Probably few realize
the sacrifices made by Secretary Wcs
eott of his own private business in or
der that the city might be benefitted.
He has made these sacrifices gladly
and willingly and w;ll continue to
make them gladly and wi'lingly for
he is the sort of a man who accomplish
es t Iii ncs and as his future is n part
of Plattsmouth he is interested in the
future of the city. Without detract
ing one iota from the work of Presi
dent Falter nnd other officials of the
club, we wish to say that if the .thing

Appointed by the President
were possible the Sescretary should
receive some recompense for the time
spent in the interest of the club which
is taken from his own private busi
ness. There were several matters of inter
est brought before the club relative to
securing manufacturing concerns for
the city, and in two instances the prop
osition was so good that a committee

parties. At this time it is not de

a very interesting talk against the es
tablishment of the postal banks, dy
ing many reasons why such n course
would be dangerous to business es
jvjrudly in the smaller towns.

the debate began by a request from
.Mr. Roberts that a standing vote be
made before the debate beiran show
ing how the club stood in (lie matter.
Five voted in favor of postal banks
and four against, on a vote as to how
many had no opinion in the matter

A NARROW ESCAPE
FOR HARVEY WHITLOW
Struck by Engine of Fast Freight
While Passing Orders.
Wednesday morning while on duty
at the Missouri Pacific station, Oper
ator Harry Whitlow had a very nar
row escape from the grim monster,
while endeavoring to pass a train or
der to the engineer of a flying freight

the order and on the approach of
the train which was coming down grade
stepped u) near the track to hand the
engineer his copy of the train order.
The wind whipped the steam from the
cylinders in his face, and in order to get
the engineer the copy, held his hand
a trifle closer than he should, the en
gine striking him whirling him around
and injuring his arm to a consider
able extent. Had he reached a little
farther the impact of the engine strik
ing his arm could easily have drawn
him under the flying train with fatal
results.
