Newsy Notes from Cedar Creek
Personal Points of Interest Picked
of the Cedar Creek Readers by Our
LITERARY,
"The heavy nijrht
hurts dark--a
s-harp chill was in ti.e air Friday
nighty remind us that winter is ap
proaching. Union church was well filled at
8:15 p. rr.. rroprram opened by choir
tinping -Old Black Joe," with Ru
dolph impersonating: the real Joe in
pantomime. "Old Black Jos" in song
and "Uncle Tom" in story are among
our popular negro characters. The
children at first went into raptures,
but. soon caught the pathcs, for Mr.
Meisir.ger carried the part well.
Mrs. Sayles was unavoidably de
tained and her place was supplied by
another reading.
The girls' branch drill followed.
Girls as well as boys ran' be taught
precision of movement, but to the
masculine sect we leave the task of J nerve in the upward climb. He felt
shouldering arms, if need be, but j the time had come when every per
every girl can entertain, at drill, and son man or woman should feel his
ever be a "soldier of the cross."
The laughter created by the
Rounds"' of Cedar Creek school was
hushed into silence as the audience
listened to Miss Hendriiks read that
pathetic tale, "The Drowning Sailor."
Mr. Lloyd Schneider and Miss Hen
dricks responded to an encore and
then sang "Down By the Old Mill
Stream."
Miss Patty Metzer talked for some
length of Utah, and impressed us that
the Mormon? are a better class than
many suppose. She chose the term,
"Latter Day Saints," as being the
one now preferred by the Mormons
themselves. She described the adobe
homes, spoke of John Smith's six
wives, mentioned soil j-.nd farm con
ditions and finished her interesting
discourse by telling how 200 persons
mounted for a chase, armed with
clubs, (no fire arms), left Ogden,
Utah, for a "jackrabi.it" hunt. At
some distance tnev were met oy as .
many more riders from a town seven
miles away, and. forming an immense
circle, this cavalry brigade drove, by
actual count. 3.(x rabbits into the
net slaughter pen prepared for them,
not counting those slain on the chase.
These animals. Miss Metzer said, were
real pests in Utah. This chase being
the second in two weeks.
Recess period followed.
It had been noised about town that
the Omaha speaker had reached Cedar
Creek by train. Miss Marjorie Dor
man as negative had !ot appeared,
but it was hoped her car might yet
arrive. Miss Mary Foster, with Miss
"Kaufmann. were in town, but the
threatening weather prompted them
to leturn to Plattsmcrth at 4 p. m.
S. J. Reamos if he was cute about
it and kept Miss Dormr.n's coming so
quiet that it only be-ame kr.cfWn to
the affirmative 'side j-ist in time to
get into print must admit defeat, in i
that Miss Trema'm got what she went
to headouaiters for. and that the only
reason he (Reames) was disappoint
ed and forced to meet disappointing
trains, thereby missing even his own
part in the debate, was because he
was placed on the negative side of
question and was forced to "address
a letter" to the wrong headquarters.
Mr. Rine was called from Omaha on
business, but sent as his substitute
the Hon. M. O. Cur.".:ngham, who
tried to say. "A substitute is never
as good as the real thing." Be that
as it may, if Mr. Cunningham is a
sample we like the quality.
Why the roll call of delegates was
not responded to more heartily may
be summed up as expressed by one
who claimed he had expected to say
something had not. Dr. Polk of Lou
isville and Mr. Cunningham had been
in the audience. He went on to say:
"We men were on the wrong side any
way, and fellows like those accus
tomed to argument, debate and pub
lic speaking could have had us all tied
up and not try."
Cedar Creek may be justly proud
in the tributes paid to (Jlcnn Mei
singer and Anna Schroeder (both of
the eighth grade) bv Mr. Cunning
ham and Dr. Polk for the courage
they showed in giving1 this, their
"maiden" speeches, in debate.
Miss Hendricks and Miss Tremain
spoke for the affirmative, as did Dr.
Polk, when he said he thought "it
might be that those of the negative
who failed to respond were afraid of
their wives "that it was a matter of
policy with them to keep still." He
said it seems nowadays a person can
not cut as much of a figure unless
he can express what is in him, and the
doctor indorsed the "iiterary" as a
place to secure training for that ex
pression. He felt it was unfortunate
that women had to wait for men to
grant them the ballot, and said the
nation was built on homes, and
mothers were home builders; that wo
men raised the finer sensibilities, ele
vated morals, upheld physical clean-
liness; that there would be tendency
Up and Penciled for the Persual
Regular Reporter of that Vil'ag-e
to higher standards of morality and
life; that politics would be purified,
if women were granted the right of
franchise.
Mr. Polk, Jr., president of the Lou
isville Debating society, said this so
ciety would meet in two weeks, No
vember it.
Mr. Cunningham was then intro
duced. While he is a man capable of
melting an audience into tears or pro
voking laughter, his purpose was to
indulge in presenting facts, convinc
ing truths, principles, that would stay
uppermost in the minds of his listen
ers. He said in part: All are con
trolled by environments and inherited
tendencies, and that every individual
was his success or failure to the hu
man part that is in him. Because
one cannot be president is no reason
he cannot be a man, and do not lose
of her individuality and responsibility,
and want to have something to say
how things should be dene. He held
there was but one side to this suffrage
question: It simply is a question of
human nghts, and he appealed to the
volers to know if they wanted to do
the right the human thing. He
pictured conditions in England, the
parent country, 200 years ago, and
vividly showed how advanced thought
changed conditions. II cited three
classes of persons: The first as the
satisfied class, they claiming that
"'whatever is is right;". the second and
radical, unsatisfied clas who think
that "whatever is is wrong;" but the
class, the reasonintr class, believed
that '"whatever is is rifcht," provided
it is square with the rules of right
and reason." He showed that the pre
amble of the constitution of the
United States and the preamble of
the Nebraska constitution do not read
"We. the men," etc., but "We, the
people of the," etc., and that women
are people. He felt wemen do not
receive the representation they de
serve when represented by men; that
times have changed, and a man does
not own his wife now as he did in
years agone, but now she is his com
panion and deserves equal rights with
him; that it is the human thing to
give her the ballot. lie told how a
woman could change a bachelor's home
and said politics would be so im
proved by the presence of women.
Mr. Cunningham said he would be
against equal suffrage when it could
tx- proven that women are not human
with human rights.
The third meeting of the literary
will be held on Saturday evening, Oc
tober HI. The chief feature will be
Rev. Schwartz's lecture with some
musical numbers.
Phil Thierolf is helping August Kcil
hit the bump boards these days.
S. J. Reames went to Plattsmouth
Sunday, returning Monday morning.
Chas. Dasher and John Thierolf went
by auto to Plattsmouth Monday morn
ing. The Misses Helen Schneider, Tre
main ai:d Hendricks and Mr. Lloyd
Schneider were entertained at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Roberts
Sunday evening.
Miss Marie Kaufmann and mother,
with Miss Cora Higgles and Mr. Clyde
Heigh, were here from Plattsmouth
in an auto Sunday morning, calling
on Cass county friends.
John Gauer and Wm. Schneider,
too, hvXe some fine cars. Believe
we'll have to choose judges and sec
who will get the blue ribbon. If you
have something good, bring it in.
Mr. John Wunderlich took dinner
Monday at the J. W. Keil home. Mr.
T. F. Scybert visited at this home
Wednesday and Thursday, returning
the last of the week to Cullom, Neb.
John Gauer and family spent Sun
day with John Meisinger. Lewis Mey
ers and wife were at C. A. Gauer's
that day, and Teter Schroder and
family were at the home of Fhiil
S toilers.
Miss Marquardt spent a few mo
ments at the Cedar Creek school
building Thursday morning. We were
glad to meet Miss Marquardt, and she
impressed us as being' an energetiic,
refined lady.
M;ss Foster we have known since
"High school" days, and it is needless
to say that experience combined with
educatioinal and executive abiliity is
rarely found in so marked a degree
as in Miss Foster.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have lately
placed a "Victrola" in i heir home. It
certainly can sing, and that po nat
urally it seems it may be able to
walk. However, it only chose to
i perform vocally on tms particular
evening. We were delighted to re-
ceive an invitation to "come again."
Our hearts have been worrified,
Our heads been bothered too,
To get the organ down at school
To tune the song we knew.
We had to open wide our eyes
And look again to see
If he who carried that big grip
Could really Schulhof be.
Somehow he struck our town at last,
Though awful much we'd prayed
That Schneider and G. P. would see
That our long prayers got heard.
He threw the thing upon its back.
And wrestled with it long;
He pressed his fingers on the keys,
And bless my soul! that song!
Schulhof he's a wondrous man,
Can make your organ howl;
In all the smoothest sharps and fiats
That can be heard a mile.
So tell it to the men you meet,
And shout his praises strong;
Ed. Schulhof fixed the organ's feet.
And we can sing "Ding Dong."
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
The fourteenth annual convention
of the Cass County Sunday School as
sociation met in Wcep'ng Water
Thursday and Friday of last week.
The motto of this "good convention"
was, "Things Worth Having Are
Worth Striving For." The delegates
from the Cedar Creek Sunday school,
Misses Mary Schroder and Yei'.a
Schneider, were entertained at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Tea-
garden, and speak highly of their en
tertainment and the convention pro
gram. Their report was read by Ve
la Schneider before the Sunday school
Sunday morning.
Miss Brown spoke on Thursday
morning. Subject, "Elementary
Goals." Her theme was, "We can win,
if we will." Miss Brown reported
having attended ninety-four conven
tions and made 427 talks last yer.
Her "In the Orient with the Stereopti
con" was a trip around the old world,
and was a special feature of the coii-
vention. Our Sunday schools
r.eed
more workers like Miss Brown.
Mr. Alrich had been in South Amer
ica and Iridic, carrying on the Sun
day school work. He told of con
verting 2.000 souls. When asked to
doff his hat to an Indian idol he re
plied that his god was with him. He
used pictures of Lhnst effectively in j
the work and was admitted into s.n
exclusive country where he was told
men could not go, by buying a favor
ite kind of candy and giving it to the
people. Getting them together in this
way, he prayed and worked and con
versions came to him.
W. II. Kimberly had made 127 ad
dresses and attended ninety-four con
Mr. Kimberly was heard both morn
ing and afternoon Friday, and is a
leading Sunday school worker.
It was advised in the convention
that Sunday schools be regulated the
same as day schools. It was sail
that attendance at Sunday school de
pends largely upon the teachers. The
"cradle roll" was approved by the
convention. Its three aims -ited are:
First, That the time to begin going
second, pupils should be classed as
"cradle roll" pupils until 4 years of
age, the aim being not to teach, but
to entertain; third, to bring them into
the Sunday school.
There were fourteen saloons re
ported for Cass county.
Mr. Holmes was named as being
the oldest Sunday school worker in
Cass county, and Mr. and Mrs. Coun
trymen are also old workers. Theiir
pictures will appear in the next issue
of the Sunday school paper.
Sam Hackenberg is showing sev
eral ears of both white and yellow
corn.
Miss Veiia Schneider was enter
tained Sunday at the home of the
Misses Dora and Mabel Meisinger.
Mrs. Metzer is visiting in the west
ern part of the state. A sister from
Louisville, with her two children, are
here with Misses Minnie and Patty.
John Terriff is husking corn for
Wm. Schneider. The boys won't tell
on each other, so we are guessing if
Lloyd, Henry or John is champion.
Have you noticed the corn display
in Wolff & Ault's?
Miss Mary II. Foster, county super
intendent, in company with Miss Mary
Kaufman, visited Cedar Creek school
Friday. She erged the pupils to be
regular in attendance, likening school
days to bricks in a wall. If pupils
were absent, she said, the wall would
be weakened; and, like the brick wall,
would not stand, if too many bricks
were missing. Miss Foster has se
lected most of the records where the
"VIetrola" is used in Cass county
schools, with a view to exchanging
with other schools, and has promised
to help here, if the ambition of Miss
Tremain is realized and a "Victrola"
secured for the Cedar Creek school.
Miss Kaufmann, by request, con
ducted a penmanship lesson. She i
an expert and teacher of that art.
We are grateful for items handed
us by our business people. "If you
have a thought that's cheery, pass it
on." It will help our little city. Pass
it on.
Mrs. Olive, who is visiting her
brother, L. E. Myers, and wife, de
parted on the Schuyler Monday morn
ing for Plattsmouth, where she is vis
iting with friends this week, return
ing Saturday evening.
Rev. O. Klette was srnt to conduct
services at the German Lutheran
church on last Sunday. It has not
been decided if he is to remain per
manently. Word has been received
from Rev. Ileubner that he is very
pleasantly located.
The secret of the numerous trips
which John Gauer has been making to
Omaha of late is out Ho is trying
to trade in his big Mitchell car on a
Fcrd roadster. To daie the Ford
agency has refused to do business on
a trading basis, but John informs us
that he is determined to have a Ford,
even if he has to sacrifice his Mitch- ;
ell, which shows conclusively that
Gauer knows a good car when he sees
it. Selah!
S. O. Hacktnberg m..ved his fam
ily into the ho: el last week, where
they will res'de for the winter. Mr.
Hackenberg had an unfortunate fire j
los-: last month, making it necessary
r(ir him to find a place for himself
and family until next sp'-ing. A fruit
shower was tendered hi.- wot thy wife
last Friday and they were generously
remembered by their many friends
and acauaintances.
Porn to Mr. and Mrr. Wm. Dasher,
October 22, a son. The little bud was
not permitted to b'o--ni here, but
dk.J that evening. The mother is 're
covering. When sickness and death
enter a home, it is then that the aid
and sympathy of friends and neigh
bors touch responsive chords, and the
only way to have a friend and neigh
bor is to be one. Cedar Creek does
not lack for kind hearts and willing
hands.
.7 .!"! son. the famous iron
! bender of this little village, has near
! 3y completed the removal of his stock
from his old location to his new shop,
where he wii- toon be ready to waic
upon his customers as of yore. The
omy tr.ing mat caused Jim more griei
than anything else was the prepara
tions necessary to move his large safe
filled with securities and gold coupon
bonds as well as a goodly supply of
the old reliable iron dollars. A gua:d
of honor was made up and the safe
was escorted to its new location with
appropriate ceremonies.
Candidates are very numerous of
late in this fair and smiling village,
and it bt-hooves us to know whom to
vole for. The candidate- of the fe
male persuasion help to improve the
quality of the members in the race
for office, and it seem.- that the only
way to handle them is to observe
strict neutrality. There is no doubt
that Salt Creek will be running over
its banks November 4. when the ex
pectant candidates discover that they
are a few votes shy. Anyway, the
old and familiar soncr, "Let Us Gath
er at the River," will not be out of
place on that sad day.
