TIMES FOR- mm fn LP Ud HE I III HUli! i Why Not Give Amounts Donated to Public Library Fund, Where Badly Needed. From Saturday b 1 tally. The funds that were raised to aid the establishing of a Y. M. C. A. are to be returned lo the donors, and at this time why not let the public-spirited citizens donate the amounts they sub scribed to the l'laltsmoulh public library. Some of the amounts were given to the Y. M. 0. A. fund with the understanding if it was not used for that purpose it was lo be turned over to the public library. The Plattsmoulh Play ers' club was among this number, giving $100, and now this will probably be transferred over lo the library board, and if the other lodges and societies which made contributions at tho lime will add their sums to the library there will be a nice little fund created that can be used in mighty good shapo right now by the library board. The work of cataloging ' the library, while Miss Waugh is do ing the work without cost to the city, has entailed several small items of expense, such as new shelving and other necessary work, and this could be handled most acceptably by the money that was in the Y. M. C. A. fund. An other great need of funds is for new books, as the books in the library have been literally read to pieces, and many of the volumes need to be replaced with new- ones, as well as a number of reference works that are badly needed to aid the students in the schools in their studies, both in e lligli scliool ami Ilie Lalliohr academy. It is a fact little known lo llu general public that the library here has a greater circulation, based on population, than tlx umana iiunnc nnrnry, arm there is hardly a home in the city where (he books of the public- library do not reach, ami the best (hing that, las occurred here in years would ie me com riltul ion ol x.t mi or $100 to the library, and the value f good done in the community would be untold. Let us keep (he good work of the library going on, giving it a chance lo develop, and e money will never be missed by the contributors. "the nnnnpr nnccTinM" MIL UIIUIIUL UULUIIUI1 AT THE PARMELE JANUARY 23 One of the widest discussions ever made in an American play is considered by William Anthony McOuire in his latest dramatic effort, "The Divorce Quest ion," which will be seen at the Parniele theater Wednesday night, January l".). The author contends that a child has a hereditary right lo ils parents the obligation of the parents to the child they arc re sponsible, for creating the main tenance of u high standard of morality is of far greater import ance than the individual interest involved when unfortunate alli ances seem to render divorce ne cessary. Mr. McOuiro has studiously avoided sensationalism but, has a strong sense of situa tion and his climaxes are stirring, but everywhere the atmosphero is surcharged with intensity and (he truth is brought home lo the spectator in an effective, convinc ing manner. Appointed as Clerk. According lo dispatches ap pearing in (be stale papers, Miss Verna Leonard of this cily has received an appointment as an engrossing clerk in the state sen- ale at Lincoln. Miss Leonard served in a similar capacity in one of the previous sessions of (lie legislature, and is well qualith lor i ue position sue has lieen ap pointed to. Card of Thanks.

Archer, charge! with having partaken too freely of the Towing bowl, and he did not deny the facts in the case, and in view of his frankness about the matter the judge gave him the usual bunch reserved for such occa sions, that of $5 ard costs, amounting to $8, which Mr. Weidemeyer gladly paid and went on his way, feeling that it was worth the price, as the Nebraska brand of corn juice is much su perior lo the Iowa product. AUBURN BASKET BALL TEAM DEFEATS OUR BOYS From Saturday's Dally. Auburn has come and gone, and as a result of their visit to this city last evening the local High school basket ball team suffered another defeat t their hands, but the defeat was not due so much to the good playing of the Auburn boys as the mistakes that the local team made, as well as tho lifeless game that was put up against the Auburnites. Tho change that was made in the line-up of the local team did not apparently strengthen the team, as the new players used were plainly nervous and showed lack of experience and had it not been ' for the work of Don Arries the score would have been much heavier against Plattsmoulh, but i.s it was they were defeated by a score of 5i to i. . The Auburn team is com posed of some very clever players and they ars about as classy a bunch as has played in this city, but if the home team bad been up to their usual form they could l.ave had an easy victory.
