Handsomely Patronized.
The Christmas kenslngton
yesterday at the home of Mrs.
Donnelly by the ladles of St. Mary's
guild was a grand success and hand
somely patronized. The ladles clear
od up the sum of $20 from their
sales and are more than gratified
at Its success. As this is the first
they have had, they feel that It is
the harbinger of others and even
better ones in the near future. While
weather conditions are such as to
nearly paralyze travel and trade, the
attendance was most gratifying.
Delightful refreshments were ser
ved during the course of the after
noon by the ladies of the guild. One
pleasant feature of the gathering
was the making of dainty, little
candy bags for use on Christmas
for lie little folks. All told the af
fair was a splendid one and hugely
enjoyed by all.

Former Knglnccr on the Burlington.
A dispatch this morning in the pa'
pers announces the probably fatal
Injury to an engineer on the Frisco
road at Pierce City, Mo., whose name
Is given as Dnllcott. Many people
here are of the opinion that the
name is a misprint and that the in
Jured mnn is Tom Callcott at one
time In the employ of tho Burling
ton In this city and who married
Mlsa Ida Schlegel of this city. The
last heard from Mr. Callcott he was
running an engine on the Frisco out
of Denlson, Texas, and it is believed
that ho is the mnn referred to in
tho dlspntch. Many old time rail
road men an dothers will remember
him.

The M. E. Smith Company Pre
paring to Enlarge Plant.
From Friday's Dally.
The gratifying success which has
attended the opening of the M. E.
Smith Bhirt and overall factory, has
greatly encouraged the members of
that firm and today Messrs. Arthur
Smith, president of the company and
Mr, Doubek head mechanician for
the firm, , came down from Omaha
and investigated the possibility of
Increasing the plant. They confer
red with Secretary Wescott of the
commercial club over the availabil
ity of more help and received such
assurance from" that gentleman that
they have decided to install at once
twenty-five additional ' machines.
These will be placed In position on
tfie upper floor of the building they
occupy at present and will make a
total of seventy-five machines In
operation. These will be put in
place before January 1st. The cap
acity of the floor Is limited to Bev-
enty-flve machines, but there is small
room to doubt that at least fifty
more will shortly be Installed when
other arrangements can be perfect
ed by tho company with that pur
pose In view.
Secretary Wescott has a long list
of women and girls anxious to take
places In the factory and he stated
to the gentlemen to bring on all the
machines they had and he would
see to it that the help was forth
coming. Mr. Smith stated to him
that the help they had in the plant
here was of an unusually high
grade and was giving the best of
satisfaction. He fcund that the girls
were apt pupils and were mastering
the art of making shirts and over
alls with wonderful facility and if
he was assured of more of this same
high grade of labor, he would put
In many more machines. Mr. Wes
cott exhibited to him the names of
those wanting places and assured
him that every one of them had the
same ready ability which distinguish
ed the ladies now working for them.
In connection with the determina
tion of the Smith Co., to enlarge
things are in progress which indi
cate even more Extensive improve'
ments than here indicated. Just
what these are cannot at this time
be given out as the seal of secrecy
13 upon those who have affairs in
charge. It is sufficient to say that
things are moving along nicely and
that there is every indication of a
mighty good year ahead for Platts
mouth. Messrs. Smith and Doubek
returned to Omaha on the afternoon
train.
Recommend Nee led Changes in
' Existing Laws and New
Laws Desired.
With a long string of victories in
the enforcement of rate laws to re
port, the state railway commission
has filed a fine, workmanlike type
written report, covering the last year
with Governor Shallenberger. x The
reports comprises tne recommenda
tions of the commission with regard
to needed changes in existing laws,
new laws desired, a record of litiga
tion during the past year, the report
of office and salary expenses and the
repor of the physical valuation com
mission. With the exception of the
physical valuation bill and the set
tlement of claims act the legisla
ture failed to follow the recommen
dations made by the commission in
its last report to the governor. The
commission insists that Its sugges
tions were proper and repeats them.
A bill prohibiting false billing is re
commended as are also a number of
amendments to the commlsson act
that would more clearly define the
powers of the commission In regard
to common carriers other than rail
roads. Attention is also called to
the "mysterious change of the anti
pass law by the last legislature,
whereby It is made necessary to
prove the use, as well as the accept
ance of a pass, In order to secure
convictions." The original act was
salutary and the commission says
that the law should not be robbed
of Its power by "insidious amend
ments.' '
The commission also recommends
that questions involving railroads
and common carriers and pertaining
to questions of rate be appealed dir
ectly to the supreme court, instead
of being forced through district court
first.
In the work of the past year the
commlsion Includes the success of its
effort to secure a system of uniform
accounting from telephone compa
nies. It also calls attention that none
of the new classifications offered by
the railroads have been allowed to
get to first base.
Attorney General Thompson is'
highly complimented for the course
taken and the success attained In en
forcing the Sibley express act. The
commission wa3 asked to start a mul
tiplicity of suits to enforce this act
a. first and was bitterly attacked
because it did not take the suggest
ed course. The succcs3 of the litiga
tion Is a vindication. Other litiga
tion is reviewed. The reduction of
Pullman rates is recalled.
A report from E. C. Hurd, head
of the physlclal valuation depart
ment, la appended. It shows that
$6,510 has been spent and shows
that the work is still In a prepara
tory stage. Lincoln Star.
Wash Smith Very 111.
The many friends of Washington
Smith, formerly for many years a
resident of this city and one" of the
Burlington's old time foremen, will
be shocked and grieved to learn that
he is very ill at Central City, Neb.,
where he has been making his home
with, his, daughter, Mrs. Louise
Scott. A . letter received by friends
in the city from Mrs. Smith confirms
this Intelligence and holds out small
hopes for his recovery. Mr. Smith
during his long residence here had
built up a magnificent reputation
as an upright and worthy citizen
and had been honored many times
with public office by our people and
they all regret exceedingly his bad
condition and trust the misgiving of
his family will prove unfounded.
Accepts New Position.
According to advices emanating
from Batlimore, Md., Daniel Willard,
vice president of the Burlington, has
been tendered the position of presi
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road and has accepted the position.
This will remove him from the em
ploy of the Burlington and probably
foreshadows other changes In man
agement. Mr. Willard Is well known
to many people here who will hear
of his prospective change with re
gret as he is generally recognized
as one of the foremost railroad men
of the west. No Intimation is given
as to who his successor will be.

Runaway This Morning.
The young man who delivers
meat for Kunsman & Ramge had an
exciting experience this morning
with a' fiery, untamed steed, which
he drives. The animal ran away
while out on one of his trips and
scattered choice cuts of porterhouse,
sirloin, tenderloin, round steak,
pork chops, pork sausage, hamburg
ers, welner wurst, and many other
kinds of animal products over the
highways of the city, upsetting the
dinky two wheeled cart he was
hitched to and destroyed his har
ness. The young man was not In
jured except to have his feelings
hurt by the unseemly conduct of
the nag.
In Business at Omaha.
Fred Lehnhoff of Omaha, is in tho
city today making a visit with his
mother and Bister," coming down this
