StIIDI Ml YOUR PRESEIITS
FOR FIIIIS AT CHRISTMAS
A Tew Suggestion Which Will Insure the Express Companies to
Make Safe Delivery If Instructions are Followed.
Do you expect to send your moth
er, sweetheart, or friend a Christ
mas present this year? If so, and
you find it necessary to patronize
some express company, It would be
well to bear in mind the following
suggestions submitted by an express
man: 1. Ship your package early, by
the 18th of December If possible.
The express company will give you
a small label to paste on the pack
age reading: "Don't open until
Christmas." This will insure the
package reaching its destination be
fore Christmas and give the addition
al pleasure to the recipient of the
Sifts of having It on Christmas
morning.
2. Use wooden boxes for packing.
Class or fragile articles should be
well protected. It may cost a few
cents more, but the danger or loss
or damage is very much reduced.
True, if the shipment Is lost or dam
aged the express company will pay
for it, but that will give your friend
no pleasure.
3. Write the address In full, state,
county, city, street and number on
the "box or package with ink, or
crayon. Tags are frequently torn off
and lost.
4. If you want to prepay the
charges, write the word "paid" in
large plain letters on the package.
5. Insist on a receipt and see that
the amount paid is marked on the
receipt and package, and the value
of the package declared thereon.
6. Write your own address in full
somewhere on the package, follow
ing the prefix "From ; ."
7. Enclose a card in each box or
package reading:
From ) Your
-) address
To-
) consignee's
) address.
This In order that should the
outer markings be destroyed, the in
ner mark will insure prompt for
warding and delivery.
8. If not convenient to ship in
wooden boxes, use strong wrapping
paper, (not newspaper) and tie with
strong cord.
9. If package contains anything of
perishable nature write the word
"perishable" in large plain letters on
the box, or package, to insure Bpeclal
attention and first delivery.
If you will observe these sugges
tions, you will greatly assist in in
suring the prompt delivery of your
gift In good condition.

early this morning put the electric
light and power of the Nebraska

The Red Men's Official Journal
Pays the Lodge in This City
a Fine Compliment.
The Improved Order of Red Men
held an, interesting and largely at
tended council at Coates Hall. Four
candidates for adoption were pres
ent and adopted into the tribe, th
ceremonies being highly interesting.
Those adopted were James Krezek.
O. P. Monroe, Otto Vettersnek and
Charles Crimes. There was consider
able business before the council in
addition to the adoption of the can
didates and the session lasted until
a late hour. One of th things which,
pleased the members of the Missouri
tribe greatly was the recognition ex
tended by the lted Men Official Jour
nal for their good work in securing;
members. The Journal is the official
organ of the organization in this
country and it circulates all over the
land where Red Men exist. Among;
other things which it says of Mis
souri tribe is the following: "There
was a grand adoption of palefaces
at the Great Sun Council fire in
Traveling moon in Omaha. Tribes
from all over the reservation pre
sented candidates 105 coming from
Plattsmouth, 50 from Fremont, 80
from Lincoln 15 from Beatrice, 20
from Aurora, 50 from Falls City, 60
from South Omaha, 115 from Omaha
and 40 from Fort Crook. In all
there were about 600. Yah-nun-dah.
sis Tribe of Omaha worked the adop
tion and chiefs degree, Pottawat
tamie of Council Bluffs, la., the war
riors. The addition to the Platts
mouth Tribe by their work in the
state , wide adoption, places it in a
leading position in the reservation
and secured for it the next great
council Are. We take off our hats to
tended by the cd Men Official Jour
Plattsmouth." This Is highly Cat
ering to the members of the local
tribe and they have been constantly
adding to their membership ever
since the great adoption.
Mayor V. F. Gillespie of Mynard,
Is in the city today looking after
business matters.
The condition of Conrad Schlater
Is reported today as boing more fav
orable and his etrly recovery Is con
fidently predicted by his many good
friends.
