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.

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.

We desire to lake Ibis means of

our little son and grandson. We
trust that they may receive (be
same sympathy in their hour of
trouble,

Fined in Police Court.
From Saturday's Dally.
This morning C .11. Weidemeyer
of Adair, Iowa, was brought before
Judge M. 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. Hut as
the poet says, "The saddest words
of tongue or pen is 'it might have
been.' ".

VERDICT FOR MATTHEW GER-
ING FOR A HUNDRED DOLLARS
Tho jury in the case of Matthew
(iering vs. Paul Slreight, in which
Mr. tiering was suing for .$300 at
torney's fees, brought in a verdict
yesterday afternoon for the plain-
till in the sum of $100. The case
occupied tho attention of the
county court for the biggest part
of the day before it was given to
the jury, who only had it under
advisement a short time. A. L.
Tidd appeared for Mr. tiering,
while Mr. Brown of Lincoln rep
resented Mr. Sleight's interests.
To Re-Decorate Church.
Frank (lobelman, the painter,
has secured the contract for re
decorating the interior of the
First Methodist church in this
city and will start the work the
first of next week. Mr. (lobelman's
reputation for artistic work is
well known throughout this sec
tion and bis services are constant
ly in demand by those desiring
llrst-clans decorative work. He
will be assisted in the work on
the church by If. II. Colon, who
is also "some painter" himself.
Money for Big Equipment.
It is llgured that the Huriing
lou alone has spent six and a
third millions' in providing limine
power sufficient to haul eighty-car
trains over its main lines. Iu ad
dition to this the cost of track
betterment, bridge reconstruction,
yard enlargement and passing
tracks, has brought the total up
to a very large llgure.
