A VISIT 10 THE DEN OF THE KING OF AK SAR-BEN It Is said that laughing is a very good, medicine, and some times it may be better than anything else. Last night the writer had the oppor tunity to take a good dose of that wonderful medicine while in the me tropolis of our state visiting a minis' terial friend. ' The clergymen of Omaha were In vited to spend last evening at the den, and by decree of the King of Ak-Sar-Ben were made special guests of the evening. The writer's host Invited him to accompany the Omaha clergy on this occasion. After the initiation was over and the sensation of fright had departed, I found out that I can feel, as man between man who are enthusiastic boosters of the city, and I must say I had the finest time and one I believe, of the minis ters who spoke was right, In saying "The Lord knows a preacher needs a Jolly time once in a while at least," Indeed It was an object lesson and Rev. Dr. T. J. Mackay hit the point when he Bald: "Bringing the minis ters together, here Is an object lesson in the way we should get together, under one common banner and one common Master. As you are boosters for Omaha, so should we all boost for Christ and for freedom." It was on the hand a real lesson for me. Why not boost for my city and I think boost for Omaha while I boost for Plattsmouth and I think that is what we need. More men with good red blood in their veins, who sacrifice themselves for their city. By the way I want to thank the Honorable Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for the object lesson they gave to me as a minister who loves riattsn:outh. J. II. St Will Have Pension Increased. Ulrlch Inhelder came to Platts mouth today from his home at Ce dar Creek to celebrate his seventy fifth birthday by applying to Uncle Sam for an increase of pension, he having reached the age where auto matlcally the law gives him more money.

HealJ My commission expires Mr. I;.'th. lulj MLwnnu Judge Archer had his police court mill grinding this morning and com pleted three grists to the satisfaction of all concerned. The first was a gentleman from Iowa, who had come across the boarder to get tight. The initials of his name were M. B. Ha- over, he was innocent or any inten tion of breaking the law but he was unaccostomed to the Nebraska brand of booze and got more on board than he needed for the occasion. He had farm in Iowa and a wife and fam- ily, but was short on cash, so the court allowed him to leave his valu- able gold watch as a forfeit until he 1 X V ,1 1 4 1 U I couiu gei uume mm iseuu me ia&u, 10 and costs. . The second matter was a complaint ncninst Lpstpr MrKlnnPV whom Xlcht Watch Bert Thomas caught in the act of "lamming the whey" out of Frank McClover. The officer happened along the Burlington track Inside the ard limits when McKtnney and Mc- Clover were both engaged In the melee, McKInney seemed to have the best of the fight and was holding Mc- Clover down and pounding him while the switch engine was bearing down towcrd the pair all unnoticed by them, so earnestly were they engag ed In the fight. Mr. Thomas thinks both would have been killed had he not Jerked them off of the track, and into the arms of the law. The incident occurred about six o'clock last evening. The men were thrown in and brought before the judge this morning. . McKinney was given ten and costs, for fighting.- It apears that he started the fight by landing on McClover, the latter was allowed to go without a fine as he seemed to have had sufficient punishment. CITIZENS 10 SHOULD BUT WON'T GIVE TO ENTERPRISE It would seem that from present apearances that the energetic com mittee selected to procure stock for the new enterprise to be located In Plattsmouth were about to fall to se- cure a sufficient amount to assure Its location. It would be a shame to have this enterprise fall through with now after so much hard work has been done by a few of the most hustling citizens. There are those In the city who are plenty able to give, who have failed to give a pen ny, when the establishment of such an enterprise will do them as much good as any of those who have sub scribed, and much more than some of them. We cannot expect to have en terprises located in our midst when such citizens refuse aid.

FAREWELL BALL FOR MISSES PARMELE AND POLLOCK The farewell ball tendered Misses Hallle Adele Parmele and Ellen Campbell Pollock Saturday evening at Coates hall by George Dovey and Lynn Miner, was one of the most pleasing and delightful events that has occurred in Plattsmouth for some time. Misses Parmele and Pollock are soon to leave for school, and the occasion was In the nature of a fare well to these popular Plattsmouth young ladles. There were twenty- seven couples participating, and from the grand march, which was led by Mr. Lynn Miner and Miss Ellen Pol lock, until the final waltz the young people enjoyed themselves to the ut most. The music by the M. V. A. orchestra was most entraclng and It was with regret the happy swains and damsels departed from the fental scene. Light refreshments were serv ed by Misses Edith Dovey, Helen Gass and Jannett Patterson, assisted by Messrs. Pollock Parmele, Pani Wind ham and Carl Schnildtman. The patronesses of the party wore Mes- dames C. C. Parmele, II. N. Dovey, T. II. Pollock and Mrs. Kate Minor. C. It.

THE BIG BASS DRUM RE TURNS AFTER LONGTIME From Monday's Daily. No one In Plattsmouth was happier this morning than France Ballance. Several years ago the "Hewitt Fam ily," a musical organization were In the city, and were minus a bass drum and France kindly loaned them the one he had used so long with the old B. & M. band, one of the greatest bands In the west, with the under standing that they would return It in a short time. But the old drum nev er came back until France found out It was in some town in Oklahoma and sent for it, and it came in this morn lng with $1.90 express charges to pay. This for his kindness. France is proud of the old drum, and will keep It, if for nothing more than a reminder of the good old days when the B. & M. band was the pride of Plattsmouth, and well known through the west.

Just as he stepped from the rear door of his apartments on Main street last night George Tackenberg, an old resident of Louisville was slugged and knocked unconscious by an unknown assalN ant. Mr. Tackenberg is fifty-five years of age and a bachelor, and he has lived in Louisville for thirty years. He is a cousin of u. G. Ilase- meier of Lincoln. The motive for the assault is not known and the Identity of the person making the assault was not learned. Although Mr. Tacken berg was knocked unconscious and was unable to make an alarm, the person who struck him did not at tempt to rob him, though he might easily have done so. The opinion Is prevalent here that either Mr. Tackenberg must have come upon a burglar or that an at tempt was made to put him out of the way. The Injured man describes his assailant as a short, heavy set man, smooth shaven and lantern jaw ed. The local police are working on the case. IT OFF. Rid Yourself of Unnecessary Bur dens.

To the farmer who is discriminating, and looks at quality instead of price, who wants the BKST whether he buys machinery, clothing, shoes or food stuff. To such a one, LUTH KR'S FARM Sn-XIAL will strongly appeal. Up to the time we put out this great labor saving tool he had to be content with the old, slow-cutting grindstone or unsatisfactory emerv grinder, but now he can have the service of the most perfect farm tool sharpening device ever invented. There is not a tool used about the farm S that is superior to our FARM SPFCIAL GR1NDKR as 8 a laoor saver, it snarpens everytmng tn one-twentieth O the time it would take on the grindstone. The grind 8 stone cuts so slow that vou would nrefer tn wnrlr with a V dull tool rather than endure the backache and HARD b WORK of keeping tools sharp on it. K IT IS EASY to sharpen tool on the Farm Special. 8 Your ten-year-old hoy will tell vou it is fun to sharpen O everything on this FARM SPECIAL GRINDER. 8 - HEATING!
