the war between that country and the
Allies broke out. Mr. Ebinger had
expected to return home in Septem

for the Fatherland, but the time
passed pleasantly in the visit among
the beauties of the old country, and
before he was aware of it the war
clouds came ami it was impossible to
tret from Germany into the countries
where passage across the sea could be
secured. Mr. Ebinger arrived in New
York Friday afternoon on the "New
Amsterdam" and the relatives were
at once notified of the arrival .and it
is iMinecessary to state that ;t was
most welcome news to them. He vis
ited over Sunday at Buffalo, N. Y..
with his relatives there ami will ar
rive in Plattsmouth tomorrow morn
ing for a short visit before returning
home to Plaimiew. His safe arrival
will lift a load of care from the
minds of his friends who have been
quite worried by the long continued
silence as to his absence in Germany.

CRRISTIiCHURGR
First Meetings at Christian Church
Well Attended Three Added
to the Church.
At the Christian church yesterday
morning was begun the series of re
vival services, which are to he con
ducted during the month of November.
Rev. Meyers, the evangelist, is a pleas
ant speaker, and one who speaks to
the point, without any equivocations,
eloquent and impressive in his delin
eation of the truth of the Gospel.
The subject which he chose to speak
upon at the morning service was "A
Work for Everyman." Taking his
lesson from the rebuilding of the
walls of Jerusalem by Nehemiah,
where for each man there was some
thing to do, and thev were expected
to do it. Citing the worths used by
Lord Nelson at Trafelgar, when he
said that "England expects every man
to do his duty," in the campaign that
has just now begun. Rev. Meyers said
that "the Master expects everyone to
do his duty." That if they all did
what they could, there would be a
great ingathering, and enlistment in
ihe cause of the Master.
In the evening the subject taken
was The Second Coming of Christ."
was handled in a masterly fashion.
Much interest was maifested in each
service at. both meetings, the house
being well filled.
The meetings during the week will
begin at 2:30 and will be concluded
by or before ! o'clock, that all may
be home in good time.
Good music will be had., and an in
teresting discussion of the. subjects
handled, which will make the meet
ings entertaining. Ail are invited to
attend these services and lend what
assistance you can in the conducting
of the same.

CELEBRATE HALLOWE'EN
. PLEASENTLY AT THE HOME
OF THEODOCIA KROEHDER
Friday evening th U. S. A.'s cele
brated Halloween by irivic.g a i.ia-
r.'.erade party at ii.e homo of Theo
oosia KroeMer. i.ti to say the young
I . ople hud a fi".e time doe not c.
piess it. They 'tad "stacks' of fun.
The club consists of girls but as it
was her brother, Robert's, birthday,
Theodosia planned a surprise for
him by inviting several of his boy
friends, who came masked. The
guests were met at tne door by a
"goop," commanded to be quiet, and
seated in a line to await the arrival
of the last guest. When all were
seated each one was told to guess who
his mysterious companions were. The
young lady in white, with her long
braid, was a mystery to all. After
unmasking, nuts were cracked, in
which were stored fortunes of all
kinds. Next each one, alone, was led
into a dark room to look into the
"magic minor" to see his fut ire
mate over his shoulder. Everyone
was "scared to go," but fek repaid
after seeing his pumpkin head and
three witch mates glancing at him
out of the darkness. Cutting a
pumpkin into the cat's mouth, the
vviegie board, and guessing each
other's eyes were other amusements,
but drawing emblems of their future
lives from a witch's cauldron, under
which was a very realistic fire,
cleverly arranged by means of elec
tric lights, red paper and stick o"
wood, was the most fun of all. The
climax to the evening's fun was sit
ting in a circle, eating popcorn .:md
telling thrilling ghost stories. The
semi-darkness of the living room,
with its decorations of black and yel
low crepe paper drapings, black cats,
pumpkins, a giant .ghost, and a
witch's goose with shining ejes, lent
t the "spookiness" of the occasion.
The dining room, brilliantly lighted
and decorated with autumn leaves
aixl red berries, counteracted the
weirdness of the witches' den and
gave the young guests courage to go
to their homes, tired but happy. The
little guests were presented with
little popcorn baskets filled with
canaies a; souvenirs. Dainty re
freshments, consisting of ices and
wafers, were served during the course
of the evening's entertainment.
DRAWING CARD AT
From Old Missouri.
Mr. and Mrs. Hans Kemp, from
near Lockwood, Mo., arrived in Platts
mouth last Friday for a few days'
visit with their many friends in Cass
county. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp were
residents of this city for many years
prior to the time they moved to Mis
souri a few years ago, and have a
host of friends who are always pleased
to see them. Mr. Kemp is well pleased
with his Missouri home and has been
enjoying life and prosperity since
moving there.
HOLLOWE'EN PARTY GIVEN
THE PUPILS OF THE CEN
TRAL SCHOOL BY TEACHERS
From Saturdav's laily.
Some two weeks age the teachers
of the third floor of the Central school
building, where the Seventh and
Eighth grades are located, thought it
would be in order to give their pupils
a Hallowe'en party, and accordingly
Misses Annie Heisel, Pearl Staats,
Mrs. Mae Morgan and Mr. Frans, the
teachers of these grades perfected the
arrangements for the party that cul
minated last evening in one of the
most pleasant treats of the school
year. The A. O. U. W. hall was se
cured and the pupils invited to be
Dresent on the occasion, and the
crowd was so large as to fill the hall
to its utmost capacity, there being
some 200 of the children estimated as
being present, and while a number of
very interesting games had been ar
ranged for by the teachers, it was
found necessary to abandon them on
account of the large number present.
One guessing game was attempted as
to the identity of the members of the
party, many of whom were disguised
as ghosts, but this too was given up,
as the crowd made it impossible to
pick the winners, and the large boxes
of candy that were to have been given
as prizes were given out to the jolly
crowd to be dvided equally. A de
licious supper had been arranged for
by the girls, each of whom contrib
uted to its success, and as they came
in for supper learned their future in
the little verses that were given out
to each one. The occasion was very
pleasant throughout and was certain
ly a very happy thought on the part
of the teachers to provide a delightful
entertainment for their pupils.
HUNTER'S CO OUT FOR
A LITTLE SPORT AND
KILL A LARGE COYOTE
Talk about shooting, how's this?
Yesterday morning Lou Hinrichsen, a
brother of "Old Hickory" who is here
visiting from South Omaha, and
James Andrews started out for a lit
tle sport in shoot'ng and visited the
wooded land of Fitzgerald & Schlater
above the pump house, and while they
were walking along through the
woods looking for game they spied a
large coyote and Lou proceeded to
take a shot at the animal. He was
armed with only a 22-rifle, but this
was sufficient, as with one of the
prettiest shots that could be imagined
he dropped the coyote in his tracks,
the bullet entering the head of the
animal just behind the ear and put
ting him out of condition. The shot
is one that is seldom matle with a
gun of this caliber, and Mr. Hinrich
sen can certainly feel well pleased
with the showing of his marksman
ship. The two hunters also secured
a number of squirrels on their trip
and covered several miles along the
Platte bottom in their hunting expe
dition. They were later joined by
"Old" Hickory and Gus Swanson, who
were but for a hike along the Platte,
and they assisted in carrying the
game home. The coyote weighed
some sixty pounds and from its ap
pearance was evidently 4 or 5 years
old.
Believes in the Duroc-Jersey.
W. B. Porter of Mynard returned
home from Scribner, Neb., last Fri
day evening, where he purchased a
fine Duroc-Jersey male hog that will
be placed at the head of his fine herd.
Mr. Porter has for some time be
lieved that this particular breed of
swine is just about right for the farm
er to raise, and has been con
stantly increasing the blood strains in
his herd until he has some of the fin
est strains in the state. The sire of
the new individual that has just been
added to his herd was grand cham
pion at the Nebraska tate fair this
year, and consequently he thinks he
has something that is about the best.

HALLOWE'EN VERY PEftCE
- FULLY AND JOYOUSLY OB
SERVED BY MOST KIDLETS
Hallowe'en in this city was observed
very peacefully Saturday evening
with but little to indicate that this
was an event to be celebrated and
while the police are sometimes kept
very busy with the calls from locali
ties where the youngsters are up to
their pranks they enjoyed a quiet
time Saturday. Of course, there is
the usual number of buildings and
wagons that suffered from the celebra
tion of the occasion, but nothing of
any consequence was reported in to
the police. One of the residents in
the west part of the city, however, re
ports a very harrowing experience
with the youthful mauraders. He sta
tioned himself in a small shed that he
feared would be turned over by the
boys and decided to wait and attack
the enemy in force when they should
appear. He was armed with his
trusty shotgun and was prepared in
every way to make war. After sev
eral hours' wait the man began to
tire as well as grow dry and irritat
ed and the thought of a cold bottle
In the house impelled him to desert
his post and go to the house for a
moment. He had only just started
to enjoy the beverage when a loud
crash sounded and he rushed to the
door to see the long guarded building
heaped over on its side and not a
sign of the parties doing the mischief,
although he scoured the place over
vowing to have revenge.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Majors Entertain.
Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Majors delightfully entertained
about twenty of their friends at their
home. For the occasion the rooms
of the Majors home had been made
very attractive, yet weird, with dec
orations of the Hallowe'en season. The
principal amusement was derived
from progressive high five, which
made the hours pass all too rapidly.
After the games, delicious refresh
ments were served, and at a late
hour the guests dispersed, declaring
Mr. and Mrs. Majors excellent enter
tainers. Karnival! Kamival!

Declare War on Colds.
A crusade of education which aims
that common colds may become un
common within the next generation"
has been begun by prominent New
York physicians. Here is a list of
the "don'ts" which the doctors sax
will prevent the annual visitation of
the cold:
"Don't sit in a draughty car.''
"Don't sleep in hot rooms."
"Don't avoid the fresh air."
"Don't stuff yourself at meal time.
Overeating reduces your resist
ance." To which we would add -when you
take a cold get rid of it as quickly
as possible. To accomplish that you
will find Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy most excellent. Sold by all
dealers.
