NESS RECORD
The Order of the Eastern Star last
evening held a largely attended
meeting at the Masonic hall and had
a most enjoyable social gathering
immediately following. The even
ing's entertainment consisted of a
program of music and recitations and
the like which was contributed to by
the best talent of the city, and later
ery choice and dainty refreshments
were served. Cards and attractive
methods of passing the time.
For the occasion the hall had been
handsomely decorated in green and
wLite, the colors of St. Patrick's day
and no efforts had been spared is
this line, the hall showing up re
markably handsome. The dining
tables were also neatly and tastily
decorated and the place cards were
something quite unique being In the
Jorm of little pipes modeled upon
the famous "little ould dudeen" of
Ireland. Throughout the entire af
fair all things smacked of the 'ould
nod" and green was the prevalent
color, the Bouvenirs of the occasion
being In harmony and keeping with
this color scheme.
The program which was rendered

two fery pretty and handsomely ren-
4red songs by Mrs. J. W. Gamble,
who Bang In her usual faultless voice,
first one being "Philospohy" and the
"Jean.'v Mrs. Gamble was accom

Cole. Miss Dernice Newell also de
lighted the assemblage with two num

and most inimitable manner. These
two consisted of "What's the Use of
That?" to which Miss Cole played on
accompaniment, and "Jimmy Brown'B
Steamer Chair." As Is quite usual
Miss Newell made a distinct bit with
her numbers. Miss Edna Peterson
delighted and entranced those who
heard her with two very pretty solos,
the one being "The Songs the Church
Choir Sang" and the other "Ireland,"
the latter being a timely number
when the day of the patron saint of
the unhappy isle was so near at hand

The Plattsmouth Loan and Build-!
ing Association in Business
for Twenty Years.
The Journal several days since
printed the annual report of the
Plattsmouth Loan & Building associa
tion which was approved at the re
cent meeting of the stockholders In
that organization. This meeting in
addition to approving the report held
the annual election of officers and
rounded out a twenty year period of
existence by the re-election of the
same officers who have been at its
helm during all that period.
The officers who have been en
trusted during the life of this four
Inning organization, with its man
agement include Walter J. White,
president; Wm. Ballance, vice presl
dent; Thos. M. Patterson, secretary;
and R. B. Windham, solicitor, and
they have made an enviable record
during the time they have been in
office. Thy have built the business
up from a small foundation to one
of the most flourishing and powerful
financial concerns In the city.
Tho table of financial standing of
the association shows the steady rise
which It has made and Is a wonderful
epitome of the good it has been to
this community. It has proven in
the twenty years of its existence to
be among the best providers of homes
ever In the city. It has proven to
be a helping hand to the distressed
in circumstances in many more ways
than one and in general, it has de
monstrated that a wise, safe and
conservative management has proven
a good thing for Plattsmouth and
Plattsmouth people. t
The splendid showing which the
association made at this last meet
Ing was enough to arouso the en
thuslasm of the stockholders and
they decided that the men who had
steered the affairs of the organlza
Hon through twenty years were de
serving of further trust and they
decided to have round out a quarter
of a century of active management
and re-elected them with that Idea
in view.
In addition to adopting the reports
as submitted, the meeting decided to
Increase the annual dividend this
year to- 9 per cent instead of the
former dividend of 8 per cent which
Another Land Deal.
It really looks as if Harry Smith,
the land man had some magic power
over his brethren from Iowa If one
can judge by the success be has in
landing them when they want to buy
property. The Journal has at dif
ferent times spoken of some of the
big deals which this busier ban put
through and in each case he has al
ways secured for his patrons the
highest prices to be had. Today he
added another sale to bis list of the
property sold, being the M. C. Franks
place in the southwest part of the
city. This place consists of 15 acres
and Mr. Smith this morning disposed
of it to John Haynie of Pacific Junc
tion who came over on the train to
look at it. The consideration is an
nounced as 13,500 which is a frac
tion under $250 per acre or to be
exact $233 per acre. While this looks
like a good price fo acreage, it is
considered by land experts who are
acquainted with the place as really
low. Anyway it demonstrates that
Harry Smith does sell land and that
he does get the best prices to be
obtained for It. Mr. and Mrs. Hay
nie will shortly move to this city and
make it their home. If Mr. Smith can
keep up the pace he has set as areal
estate salesman, he will soon have the
major part of western Iowa moved
into Cass county where the best land
lies out of doors can be had at a
reasonable and fair price. This
makes about the Blxth or eighth good
deal which Mr. Smith has put
through during the past five or six
months besides a number of minor
transactions. He Is the land man
for true.

Sharles McCauley, the Plattsmouth
boy who has been In the county jail
since last September, with the excep

ing over the country as a fugitive,
was yesterday discharged from cus
tody on motion of County Attorney
Tyrrell, who caused the complaint
against the prisoner to be dismissed.
McCauley was charged with burglary,
it being alleged that he entered the
residence of Frank Watson on North
Tenth street, during the daytime,
September 2. McCauley was takon
to the court house from the jail yes
terday afternoon and asked by t:ib
county attorney if he woi' plead
guilty. He stated that he had gone
to the Watson home for the purpose
of committing no crime and had com
mitted no offense. He would not,
therefore, plead guilty. The county
attorney considered the case against
the young man a weaK one, ana
therefore dismissed it. McCauley was
one of the men who escaped from
the Jail last September. Several
weeks later he was picked up In the
streets of Plattsmouth. He stated
that he was heartily tired of being
a fugitive, and would rather be in
jail than constantly dodging the of

Oklahoma State Insurance De
partment Starts Investigation
of Cheap Insurance Co. .
Some time ago the Journal called
attention to the fact that a represen
tative of an advertising agency called
upon it, and endeavored to make ar
rangements by which an insurance
policy could be given away with the
paper for a nominal sum. The fact
was that the policy covered a certain
class of accidents and there was no
actual consideration for the plolcy so
ar as the company was concerned, the
advertising agency getting pay for it
and the paper adding a small charge
for it. Some merchants In Oklahoma
have been taking up the same scheme
and it has come to the notice of the
(insurance department in that state.

A Small Fire. j
An alarm of fire this morning
about 10:20 o'clock called the Are
department to the home of Mrs. Kate
Cummins at the corner of Ninth and
Pearl streets. The fire was subdued
by a bucket brigade which was led
by Charles Cline before the fire de
partment got Into action although the
boys were quick in getting to the
scene and did material work In as
slHtlng In extinguishing the flames
The Are originated in sparks from
the furnace in the dwelling it is sup
posed and burned over quite a small
secton of the roof before the flames
were mastered. The loss amounted
to probably $d0 which is covered by
insurance.
Fortunately there was no damage
done to the contents of the building
as the water which was thrown on
was Judiciously handled by the fire
men. The first cart on the scene was
there within a few moments after the
alarm was turned in. The bames
were discovered by Mrs. John Fight
and Mrs. Bennett Chrlswlsser wno
lve across the street to the north
of the residence.
As a result an investigation is to be
held of the scheme. The mystery sur
rounding these policies Is how a com
pany can remain solvent and do busi
ness on the basis these companies
claim to? Again, Nebraska has a resi
dent agent law and how anyone can
solicit this business without being
authorized by law, and still keep out
of the tells of the law is a mystery.
A dispatch from Guthrie, Okla., says:
Insurance Commissioner Milas La-
sater has started an' investigation of
the system under which a number of
retail firms at Oklahoma City are of
fering $1,000 accident insurance po
licies with every $5 worth of goods
purchased. Mr. Lasater today wired
the . National Casualty company oi
Detroit, in which policies are offered
In this way, Informing them that it
was a direct violation of the resident
agent law, and also of the law prohi
biting the giving of rebates or any
thing of value In conectlon with an
insurance policy. .
A Neither the National Sales com
pany,' which seems to be handling the
matter in Oklahoma, nor any of the
Oklahoma City . merchants who are
offering the policies have been 11
censed as agents for the National Ca
sualty company, although In a letter
received by Mr. Lasater from a mer
chant at Cushlng, the National Sales
company is said to have represented
that the scheme had the approval of
the insurance department.
No further action will be taken un.

will probably be revoked by the com
