From Wednewlav'a Dally.
The meeting at the council
chamber last evening to protest
against the proposed raise in tele
phone rales by the Lincoln Tele
phone & Telegraph company was
attended by some twenty persons
and the meeting was organized by
the election of Mayor John P.
Sattler, as chairman, and V. J.
Streight as secret ary. There were
a number of short talks made on
the question of the raise, the
principal ones of which were
given by L. L Larson, William
Weber and James Robertson, who
thought that the subscribers here
should not be forced to pay the
increased rates as the company
hero should not be forced to pay
the increased rates as the com
pany here had maintained the
system before at the lower rale
and there was no need for them to
make the increase. Mr. T. II. Pol
lock, of the telephone company,
was present, and slated that I lie
Plallsmoulh company had oper
ated the telephone system for ten
years and round that U was im
possible to make the business a
dividend-paying proposition, on
the rental of phonos at, the pres
ent rates, and had disposed of
their holdings in order to secure
their money back for their invest
ment, lie also pointed out the
extensive improvements made in
the plant here, ami the added
force employed !o run the new
system, nil of whe'h had entailed
a great deal of expense, and the
company believed I liny were not
asking a great deal in the pro
posed rales as in many of lie
smaller towns the rales are high
er than that asked here. ,1. f
York, J. V. Ilatt and F. K. S-hlater
vere called upon and made u Tew
remarks in behalf of the subseiib.
f-rs, pointing ov iiuu iier'Morre
it was possible to run two sys
tems at the low rales and that
they did not believe (he situation
warranted the raise as asked for
by the telephone company. The
meeting appointed a committee on
resolutions consisting of V, K
Schlaler, Joe Huberts and W. J.
Streight, which will confer with
City Attorney Tidd. who leaves to
morrow to appear before the com
mission on behalf of the city to
protest against the rale raise.
The committee was authorized to
Resolution.
At a mass meeting of the citi
zens and patrons of the Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph com
pany of the city of Plattsmouth,
Cass ocunty, Nebraska, held at the
council chamber in said city on
Tuesday, May Clh, 1913, the un
d rsigned committee was in
structed to draft the following
resolutions protesting against the
increase of telephone rales in the
city of Plattsmouth by said com
pany:
Whereas, The Plattsmouth In
dependent Telephone company
was organized in 18'J'J with a cap
ital of $5,00(1 and installed a
Plattsmouth Telephone System in
the city of Plattsmouth and fur
nished telephone service in said
city at the rate of .$1.00 per
month for resident telephones and
continued to furnish said service
until 1912 at. said rate, and for a
greater portion of said time paid
annual dividends of 10 per cent on
all stock issued by said company,
and,
Whereas, The people of the city
of Plallsmoulh gave said com
pany every encouragement and
assistance possible and said city
granted said company the use of
its streets and alleys for Hie con-
Woodman Hall Crowded to Its
Utmost Capacity and All De
lighted With the Music.
I ruction of its lines without
charge therefor; and,
Whereas, .The rate for business
plumes in said city has been the
sum of $-.00 per month during
e past, ten years and that said
prices are hilly compensatory to
the services furnished, and,
Whereas, At said mass meeting
it was slated by one of the offi
cers of the Plattsmouth Independ
ent Telephone company that, when
the Plattsmouth Independent Tel
ephone company sold its interests
as a company that every stock-
bidder in said company received
dollar for dollar invested therein,
and that said interests were sold
for the sum of $205,000; and the
undersigned committee would
therefore infer that said company
was and had been paying divi
dends of upwards of i'50,000 of
slock; therefore be it,
Resolved, That the people of
the city of .Plattsmouth and the
patrons of the Lincoln Telephone
and Telegraph company enter a
positive protest against the in
crease of telephone rates both for
resident and business services.

The, recital given last evening
at the .Modern Woodmen hall by
the pupils of Prof. Frank J. Kol
baba proved to be one of the most
delightful musical entertainments
that has been given here for .-ome
time and the playing of the young
people was very much appreciated
by the large audience that filled
the ball to its capacity. The re
cital opened with different solos
by the youngest class of players
and they showed the careful
training and care that had been
taken with them by their teacher
and the different numbers on this
section of the program were
loudly encored and greatly pleased
the young violinists. This class
was composed of Misses Mary
Vasak, Grace Beeson, Masters
Miles Altnian. Edward Donat and
Robert Kroehler.
The second class, composed of
Miss Sophia Jerousek and Louis
Lorenz, gave solos that demon
strated their remarkable ability
on the instrument and their han
dling of the selections, which
were quite difficult; showed much
skill and artistic appreciation of
the music.
Messrs. Leslie Marousek and
Joe Hemes, who are among the
more finished of the pupils, were
most pleasing in their numbers,
which were given much applause
by the audience, who greatly ap
preciated the work of these young
men.
One of the most delightful se
lections on lle program wa that
of Charles Simanek of Omaha,
"Romanze F Dur" and "Humor
eske No. 8," by Iorak, and the
young man deserves much praise
for the manner in which he han
dled this difficult and beautiful
selection and he is surely one of
the finest violin players for one
so young that has ever appeared
in this city. The duet petween
Prof. Kolbaba an I Mr. Simanek,
"(Irossinutterchen" and "Miser
ere From II Trovatore," was an
exquisite piece of artistic playing
and it was with regret that the
auditors heard the last strains of
the melody die away so charm
ingly had it been given by these
artists on the violin. Prof. Kol
baba and Mr. Vasek of Omaha
also gave a duet, "Cing Waltzes,
which was very pleasing, as was
also the "Sextette From Lucia de
Lainniermor" by Mr. Kolbaba, Mr
Simanek and Mr. Vasek and this
beautiful music filled the large
hall with the thrilling notes of
the melody and without doubt this
number was the most pleasing on
the program and was followed by
tin; playing of the Bohemian na
tional hymn by Messrs. Kolbaba,
Simanek, Vasek and Remes. The
evening closed with the playing of
"America" by the participants in
the program and vas a most in
spiring sight as the audience
arose to their feet, as the notes of
the national hymn of our country
were sounded by the players.
Miss Emma Cummins acted as
accompanist for the recital and
her exquisite handling of the dif
ferent numbers on the piano
greatly aided in making the event
such t a splendid success and
earned for her further honors as
an artist on the piano. That the
recital was such a success was
deeply gratifying to Prof. Kolbaba,
who has spared no efforts to make
it the great musical success that
it undoubtedly was.

From Wednesday's Dally.
The funeral of the late John H.
Penson was held this morning
from the undertaking rooms of
Streight & Streight on North Sixth
street on account of the fact that
the small children of Mr. Densofi
were confined to the home on
Wiutersleen hill with mumps, and
it was impossible to have t lie ser
vices there. Hev. W. L. Austin, of
Hie Methodist chinch, conducted
the services both at Hie rooms and
the grave and spoke comforting
words to the sorrowing relatives
ami friends, who gathered for the
service. The pall-bearers were
selected from former friends and
acquaintances and were as fol
lows: M. E. Manspeaker, Frauk
Neumann, C. I). Quinton, Mr. Han

and Henry Trout. The interment
was made in the family lot at Oak
Hill cemetery.
The funeral of the iate Walter
J. While was held yesterday after
noon at 2:30 at St. Luke's parish
church, and was attended by a
crowd of sorrowing friends who
gal tiered there for the last time
to pay their tribute to one whom
all these years had been a faith
ful, loyal friend. The services at
the church were in charge of
Right Rev. Arthur L. Williams, of
I he diocese of Nebraska, Rev.
Father John Williams and the
rector of St. Luke's church, Rev.

beauty and solemnity of the Epis
copal church, of which the de
ceased had been a faithful and de
oled member for years and for
the past twenty-five years has
served as a vestryman of the St.
Luke's church here and his death
aves a place hard to fill in the
church work and the grief of the
members of the parish was evi
denced by the large number that
athered at the church to bid
their old friend a last, long fare
well. The choir of the church fur
nished a number of hymns during
the service following the prayers
and scripture lesson and as the
voices of the priests and bishop
arose in the benediction to the de
parted there was hardly a dry eye
in I he church. The Masonic order
of which Mr. White was an old
and highly honored member, were
present and paid their last trib
ute to their departed brother. The
pall-bearers were selected, three
from lhe church and three from
the Masons, and coi-sisted of the
following old friends and associ
