CLUB BANQUET
A BID SUCCESS
Enthusiasm Reigned Supreme and
the Lunch One of the Finest
Ever Served.
The fourlh annual mampicl of
the IMaltsmouth Commercial club
last evening was one of the big
gest successes in its line that has
been held here, and in every way
was far superior to the preced
ing affairs that have been given
by the club. The hall presented
a beautiful sight, with its rows
of long tables with their snowy
linen and glittering silver, and
the carnations used in decorating
them made a picture that was
most templing, especially when
the bevy of handsome young
women who served the banquet
swept into view.
The gathering assembled at 8
o'clock and marched from 1 ho
Commercial club rooms to the
hall on the third floor, where the
ladies of the Methodist church
had prepared the elaborate' ban
quet which was to delight the
guests. After the guests had
been sealed, Toaslmasler Matthew
Goring called on Rev. I. L. Dun
lileberger of the Christian church
to otter the invocation, following
which the gueM1 with sealed al
the festal board and the Holly or
chestra, under (lie leadership of
VV. It. Holly, started in' on a pro
gram - of music which served
greatly to add to I he enjoyment
of the banqueters.
Mr. Goring, who acted as toast
master, was at his best and the
flow of his eloquence and wit
kept the banqueters in the, best of
humor and his remarks in in
troducing the different speakers
certainly roused the operators
and put them on their met tle. Re
fore the introduction of the
speakers Mr. Gcring delivered a
short talk of the work of the
Commercial club and the benefit
it was to the community and then
read several "telegrams" that had
been received by wireless, one
from llavelock, asking the city to
ship one brass foundry to thai
place at once, and another from
the president of tho Ashland Com
mercial club asking that the own
ers of tho wagon bridge here look
out for one government rifle
range that had been carried down
the Platte river. The reading of
these provoked a storm of laugh
ter and applause from the big
crowd assembled around the ban
quet board. After a short in
troductory speech Mr. Goring
asked President Schneider of the
Commercial club to respond to the
toast, "Now and Then."
Mr. Schneider staled (hat he
was delighted lo see such a large
gathering of the citizenship of
the city gathered together and he
was deiighlod with the assemblage
of the fourlh animal banquet and
that it gave great encouragement
to the club for its future work, and
that during the time that the
Commercial club had been in ex
istence they bad assisted in get
ting many improvements and
enterprises for the city and that
during the last four years the city
had improved wonderfully. He
stated one of the best things did
by the club was the fight made to
retain the brass foundry of the
Burlington shops here, as it had
been decided at one tune to re
move it to llavelock and that
many of the employes had dis
posed of their "properly here in
older lo remove to that city with
th.', plant, but the club got busy,
ami as a result the foundry was
allowed to remain here. The club
had also pushed the paving of the
streets, and sent committees to
Omaha to seeuro better train
service, and they had been very
successful in securing (lie prom
ise of boiler facilities for (raved.
Last fall the club here, in con
junction with the Weeping Water
good roads boosters, went before
the board of county commission
ers and asked thai a road be made
from this city lo Weeping Water
that would be tit for travel, and
that as soon as spring came the
work would be started. Another
of the things secured for this
city by the club was the location
of the government rifle range
north of this city, where the gov
ernment secured 800 acres and
shortly expected to place there
nermanent works to the value of
about $30,000, and that a great
deal of the labor and material

used would come from this city.
The M. E. Smith shirt factory was
one of the little big things se
cured for the city by (he club, and
during the four years that it had
been located here it has paid out
S3;'. 000 to the employes in this
city, and thai most of this has re
mained here among our own peo
ple. Mr. Schneider also stated
that the club had recently ap
pointed a committee to look into
the matter of a new county jail
and they had prepared a resolu
tion that had been presented to
(he board of county commission
ers and they had passed the
resolution and that on April H,
1913, the voters of the county
would be given an opportunity to
pass on the question of whether
one of the richest counties in
the state should have a respect
able jail or not. lie pleaded with
the gathering to join in the ef-
forts that the club is making lo
improve conditions and asked
every man, regardless of his oc
cupation, to get into the member
ship of the club and put his
shoulder tot he wheel for the suc
cess of the city.
Mr. Gering asked that as there
was much oratorical talent loose
in the hall that Robert R Wind
ham give the gathering a few re
marks on what he considered
pertinant to tho city's welfare.
Mr. Windham stated that it
was a mighty cold day when he
did not have something to say in
regard to IMaltsmouth and its
welfare, as he had been a resident
here for forty-six years and that
he felt it was good to be in as
large a representation of the city
as was present at the gathering
and he believed the future held
greater things in store for the
city in the way of developing the
land near here into small tracts
for market gardening and that as
the cilv of Omaha grew with
years. Plattsmouth would grow
wilh it.
The toast master called upon
Mr. Cloft of Omaha, representing
tho M. E. Smith Shirt company,
who stated that he had been sent
to this city as a substitute for Mr.
Kelly, and that ho was glad to bo
in Plaismoulh, as he found it a
fine little town and that its peo
ple were, among the best he bad
met, although ho had failed lo
meet tho reception committee at
I he station and had been allowed
to wander up street. Mr. Clofl's
speech included several very
pleasing and apt stories, and he
keot the crowd .laughing most of
the time at his ery apt remarks
and it was with regret that the
audience saw him finish.
One of the chief speeches of the
evening was that delivered by
frank T. barrow of Lincoln, civil
engineer of Ihe Burlington, who
nave a brief outline tf the de
velopment of the great west from
the time the first Spanish explor
er came up from Mexico until the
driving of the last spike on the
Union Pacilic at Ogden, Utah,
gave a trans-continental route to
the United States, and from thai
time the development of the re
sources of Ihe great west had
been rapid. Quickly following the
Union Pacilic, the Santa Fe and
the Burlington had entered the
Held and the Burlington was laid
out over the old trail to the far
west, crossing the entire state of
Nebraska, and today the roads of
this great western country are
the greatest in the United Slales.
The railroads came as the result
of the great movement of settlers
westward, and that when the idea
of tho trans-continental was
brought on the trallic had be
come enormous lo tho west, 200,
000 persons passing over the
overland trail in 18(2, a multitude
that would require seven trains
of ten Pullman cars each every
day in the year lo take care of
this great movement. The coin
ing of the railroads has brought
the settlers to this stale, and now

the demand for manufacluries

that now a great in
dustrial future was before the
people of Ihe state. Mr. Iarrovv
also stated that the opening of
the Panama canal would be a
great boom for the coast cities of
the south and far west and that it
behooved the people and the rail
roads of the centrul west lo look
lo their laurels lo see thai they
were not .seized by Ihe new rival
in the Held of transportation.
Mr. Coring related a most
amusing story in introducing one
of the speakers, tolling of a ban
(uet that was held at Monlicello,
Arkansas, at which some of our
citizens wort? present, and told of
the speech made by the gentleman!
on Ihe occasion beinK very elo
quent, ami he asked Carl Kims
mann to say a few words, and Mr.
Kunsmann staled that he was not
responsible for saying all he was
charged with by the loasl master
al Ihe Arkansas banquet, bul thai
he was glad to be at such a splen
did gathering as the banquet was
last evening.
District Judge Travis spoke
very eloquently on tho topic of
"Mow and Then," and he was in
his best voice anil the auditors
were held entranced by Ihe judge
in his speech. He told of his ar
rival here in the year 1881, and
how he had journeyed on out to
Weeping Water, where he started
the practice of law, and in later
years moved to IMaltsmouth lo
lake up Ihe practice of law, and
here ho had resided since that
time. He spoke of the changed
conditions now from that of
twenty years ago, both in politics
and business, and how the young
man today entering the law busi
ness was not compelled to face
the forces of corruption as in the
past, when the oar of the courts
was taken by the great corpora
tions, including the railroads, and
judges and jurors were permitted,
as was the attorneys at the bar,
to carry in their pockets a rail
road pass thai today would be
punished by law. That, today a
jury could be turned loose and
In was satisfied thai they would
return to' the court room mi.
fff'ejihlived, 'whore in years gone
by' 1 her would have been ap
proached by Hi'' agents of cor
porations and influenced in their
decisions of Ihe cases tried before
them. The-judge. said he noticed
the difference in Ihe conditions
that existed I ben and today in
the life oT Ihe city and thai Ihe
Commercial club had brought new
life inlo the city and had placed it
tn Ihe ranks of the live, progres
sive towns of the stale, both
commercially, morally and intel
lectually for better were noticed
in the court decision, which were
gelling closer to the people and
the judges beginning to reflect
thai the many had as great a
right to be heard as the few in
the tribune of justice, and that
the recall of the judges would
make the courts more amenable
to the will of the people and that
men in sympathy with tho great
common people should be ap
pointed lo the bench instead of
men selected because they had
been very successful attorneys for
the big corporations of the
country. The judge spoke briefly
to the young men present and
stated that for them the golden
age of the country was dawning
and that they would live to reap
tho reward Ihul Cod has in store
for them.
Hov. W. .. Auslin and James
Emerson, road master of the Bur
lington, made a row brief remarks,
but as the hour was growing late
they asked to be excused in order
I hat the speakers on th program
might be heard.
Attorney A. W. Jeffries of Oma
ha was introduced by Toastmaster
Coring in a short, humorous talk,
and on opening up Mr. Jeffries
responded in the same light vein,
hut rapidly branched into the
more vital parts of the address.
He slated thai the appearance of
so many young men at the ban
quet spoke well for the future of
the city and that few cities could
boast of such a splendid gather
ing such as Ihe banquet present
ed, and that wilh practically all
their lives lying before them they
had a great opportunity to ac
complish much good for them
selves ami the community. One
of Ihe great needs of any com
munity is the gelling together and
selecting a place where all can
meet and discuss the things vital
to the life of a community, as
Ihe interests of one were Ihe in
terests of all, and that the young
men of this day had splendid op
portunities that had been denied
to their forefathers, in that the
developing of inventions and ma
chinery and tho forward march of
science had made the way easier
for the young man to achieve suc
cess than ever beforo and thai
they should look toward tho ris
ing sun and take their place in
the great advancing movement of
this cosmopolitan nation. The
address of Mr. Jeffries was one of
the most pleasing that has been
heard in this city for some lime,
and the banqueters felt, they hail
certainly enjoyed a rare treat in
his talk.
Tho benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. M. V. Lor.r.ier
of the First, Presbyterian church.

REPRESENTED AT BANQUET
One of the pleasant features of
tho banquet last evening was the

son, roadmasler, and A. lledeii
greu, master carpenter, of Oma
ha, were among the visitors at the
feast, as wore, the foremen and
many of tho employes of the Bur
lington shops hero, and it was
certainly a pleasure to see them
become interested in a projeclt
that means so much to the city
and its future.
WALTER BRITT1 ABLE
TO GET AROUND SOME
Walter Briltain was out today
for Ihe first lime in some weeks,
having been laid up with a badly
injured arm, which he sustained
in a fall from a wagon. Waller

manner and spread apart, throw
ing Walter over backwards to the
ground and one of Ihe bales fell
on him and bruised him up in bad
shape and his arm had the mus
cles and tendons badly wrenched
and lorn, and Waller has boon
unable lo use Ihe arm since that
lime until today, when he was
able o put if lo a lillle use and
