DOT HIS TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR
-AS JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
Jj.ige M. .Arcner, v.no yesterday
was re-elected to the position of po
lice magistrate and justice of the
p.-ace. is rounding out his 25th year
as a justice, and his 21st as police
j.:dge of Plattsrr.outh, and the elec
tion gives him two more years in
thv-e positions, which he has filled
evidently to the entire satisfaction of
the voters of the city. The judge
feels well pleased over the result, as
he should, as it demonstrates the
ron'ider.ce of the voters of the city
in the worthy gentleman who has for
all these years tilled the offices to
which he has been elected with such
fairness and impartiality. The judge
will continue on the job for the com-
g two years and hand out justice

John Mattes Is Elected.
The Journal this afternoon received
a message from Hon. John Mattes,
Jr., of Nebraska City, democratic
candidate for state senator from the
Second district, informing us that he
had been given the gieat majority of
."HO by his home county, which prac
tically assures his election, as his op
ponent, Mr. Sturm, will not have at
the outside over 100 in thjs county,
which is a very Rood compliment to
this gentleman from his home county.
The Second district will now in the
future be represented by John Mattes,
who is a clover gentleman and alive
to the interests of the people.
WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS
HOLO THEIR DISTRICT CON
VENTION HERE TODAY
The opening of the district conven
tion of the Woman's Relief Corps in
this city this morning brought in quite
a number of ladies as delegates to
the meeting that was held in the
Woodman building. The business
houses generally observed the oc
casion of the gathering of the patri
otic organization by displaying flags
and the national color!- on their build
ings and stores. The meeting was
called to order by Mrs. Nannie liurile
of this city, president of the organiza
tion, who welcomed the visiting dele
gates to Plattsmouth, and at the close
of the convention at once got down to
business by starting in on the regu
lar business of the session.
IS THE ELECTION IS OVER
A LITTLE FOR PLATTSMODTH
Now that the heat and excitement
of the election has been passed by,
and the winners and !o: ers among the
different parties have adjusted them
selves to the result, it is time to look
forward to boosting the continued im
provement of conditions in this city
in the way of better sidewalk facili
ties better homes and impi ovement
in property that will place Platts
mouth in the front rank of the cities
of Nebraska where it properly be-lonu.-.
There has been much good
accomplished in the year just closed
by the erecting of new houses to care
for the increasing population of the
city and the new households that u'e
being planted among us. There should
!! no let ui of the nrcnairanda for
j j... j an(, better titv .imj in the
; there u RO iou,,t lhat there will
he one of the li vilest cities in the state
i ight here in Piattsmr.uth.
It Will Come.
From WiMiiiesday's !aily.
The supreme court of Missouii has
held that all clubs and social organ
izations who dispense intoxicants and
where they have bullets or things
of that nature, they must take out a
license the same as a saloon. This de
cision closed up all of the clubs and
buffets in the state, and there is a
likelihood that if the same question
is raised in Nebraska the courts could
not help but hold the same way and
thus give the saloons or licensed
places the only right to sell intoxi
cants. Nebraska Citv News.

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pres
byterian church were very pleasantly
entertained by Mrs. J. M. Roberts and
Miss Margaret Hodge ii at the home
of Mrs. Roberts yesterday afternoon.
This was the regular meeting, and
there was a large number of the la
dies in attendance. The early hours
of the afternoon weie devoted to a
very interesting business session nt
, whk.h time the ,adies dlscusseil the
Rummage Sale, which the ladies of
the chuich will hold next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday November 12,
P5 ami 11. After the business ses
sion the ladies enjoyed a most de
lightful social time. Dainty refresh
ments were served.
Curbing and Guttering Rushed.
Krnrn Wednesday's Dally.
The work on the curbing and gut
tei ing on South Sixth street is pro
giessing nicely and it will be only a
oucstion of a short lime until the
work will be completed and ready for
the grading that will place the btrect
in first-class shape for travel. The
fme leather of the past few weeks
has proved most helpful to the work
and allowed the contractor to push
the laying of the concrete curbing and
guttering. The work in the other
districts has given the best of satis
faction, and flip lP-ident.- of South
Sixth street can rest assured they will
be given a piece of work of which they
may be proud.
"DON'T LIE TO YOUR
WIFE," COMING TO
THE PARMELE
A Rich, Rare and Racy Musical Com
edy, and One of the Best That
Has Visited Pl<smouth.
The following, taken from the Man-
kato, Minn., Daily Review, speaks in
verv high terms of the attraction se
cured by Manager Shlaes for the
Parmele theatre on next Friday even
ing. November 1".. The show is tilled
with bright musical numbers ami is of
the musical comedy order so very
popular with the theatre-goers:
Those who witnessed the musical
comedy, "Don't Lie to Your Wife,"
presented to a good sized audience
at Mankato theatre Saturday night,
weie given a rare treat, and it is sel
dom a better satisfied audience has
left our theatre after a performance.
The company throughout was
strong, the costuming beautiful and
the scenic effects striking. The mu
sic ciuiing the action of the play is
of the whistling kind., and especially
attractive were the songs, "A Little
Love, a Little Kiss," "You're Here
and I'm Here." "The Cortelyou
Twirl" and ' The Croony Melody," all
splendidly rendered by the company
We understand the company will
play a return date here, and if it does
a capacity audience can be counted
on. It is a city attraction and worthy
of liberal support wherever it ap
pears. SUGar AGAIN TOOK A

Sugar took ar.othei tumble of :U
cents per hundred wholesale Tuesday
Poet is now quoted at ..).;." per hun
dred and cane at $r..". Flour now re
tails from $1.1." to $1.75 for a 48
pound sack. It has recently advanced
5 cents a sack. Wheat continues to
advance a cent or two a bushel and
then falls back to the old quotations.
Flour dealers are no anticipating a
sharp advance before spring and grain
dealers hold the same views. It is
piedicted that wheat may go as high
as ?1.."0 a bushel when the European
demand becomes heavy. This develop
ment is not looked for, for several
months yet. Some butchers are sell
ing meat several cents cheaper than
a short time ago. Round steak which
retailed at 20 cents a pound is now
quoted at 20 cents; pork chops and
loin which sold at 20 cents are now
2 cents lower a pound. Porterhouse
and tenderloin are quoted at 30 cents
a pound, which is 5 cents lower than
a few weeks ago. Beef roasts are 2
cents cheaper per pound. At the pack
ing house agencies it was stated that
there was no charge in the price of
the choice cuts of beef or pork, but
there was a decline in the cheaper
cuts of meat. One manager said that
there has been no change in prices of
the better kinds of meat for a long
time, perhaps four or five months.
He looks for higher prices as soon a
colder weather sets in. Lincoln Jour

MANY NEEDED IMPROVE
MENTS HAVE BEEN MADE
ADODTTHECODRT HOUSE
From Tuesday's Dally.
The great need of improvement be
ing made in the court house is be
coming more evident every day, and
the county commissioners should see
that there are steps taken that will
place the handsome building in the
proper state of repair. The tiled
floor on the second floor where it is
used a great deal is in need of being
fixed up, as there are a large number
of them loose and for this there
should be some provision made. Then
again, the matter of the redecorating
of the building grows more pressing
each year and the building that is as
tine as any in this section of the
state should be kept up in a manner
that will be a credit to the residents
of Cass county. The proposition of
painting and redecorating the interior
of the building was agitated some
time ago, and it seemed likely that
some satisfactory action would be
taken, but this was laid -over and al
lowed to drift without any steps be
ing taken to see what could be done,
although a number of the painters of
the city were consulted on the mat
ter, but their bids were evidently too
high. The interor of the court house
should be overhauled this winter
without fail and kept in shape where
a little money each year will put it
in first shape, when if it is let go
there will be required a large amount
to fx it up.
FRED EBINGER TALKS
ABOUT THE WAR CONDI
TIONS NOW IN GERMANY
In speaking of the great war in
Europe that is being waged at the
present moment, Fred AV. Ebinger,
who was just enabled to return home
from Germany, states that in that
country the horrors of war have not
been brought to the citizens of the
country and the manufactures and
industries continue undisturbed, al
though the absence of the men at the
fior.t is to be noticed He also states
that the steamers from this country
that carried over the reserves from
America and other parts of the world
were stopped by the English and
French vessels and conveyed into
ports in that country where the mei
who were of military age were herd
ed together in detention camps and
guarded by the troop? of France anc
England. There were several hun
died taken in this manner, the fust
load numbering some 800 that were
detained in the English ports, while
another shipload of 400 were sent to
France, where they v ere herded to
gether as prisoners of war to remain
until the close of the war. He ex
presses the opinion that sentiment
generally in Germany is that English
jealousy of the German commercial
progress was the real factor that
started the warefare and involved the
whole continent in the struggle. He
also says that he is glad to be back
in the land of the free, where there
is nothing doing in the war line.
Suffragettes Are Out Early.
From TuesdaVs Dallv.
The election today was marked by
a new feature in the number of ladies
who were at the polls of the different
wards ""boosting the cause of woman
suffiage for which they are very en
thusiastic, and there was hardly a
voter that escaped their attentions
and requests for their aid. These
were only second to the large number
of men working for their favorite
candidates, and the poor voters who
were compelled to run the gauntlet
of the different voters were certainly
well fixed as to advice as to voting.
The interest in the election over
shadowed almost everything else on
Main street where a number of the
voting places are located.

FRIENDS OF FRED W. EB
INGER GIVE HI A WEL
COME ENTERTAINMENT
Yesterday a number of the old
time friends of Fred W. Ebinger de
cided to give that gentleman an ap
propriate farewell before he depart
ed for his home at Plainview, Neb.,
and accordingly they gathered last
evening at the German Home to en
joy a Tew social hours with each oth
er. Mr. Ebinger has had many very
interesting experiences during the
time he was in Geimany, and was en
abled to secure many facts about the
war there that have not been pub
lished in the papers of this country,
and last evening gave a few remarks
on the war situation from the view
point of the German people, and the
address while brief was one thorough
ly appreciated and enjoyed by the
old friends many of whom were thor
oughly familiar with the different c;t
ies and points of interest visited by
Mr. Ebinger in the old world. A fine
lunch and refreshments were served
durin.g the course of the evening that
v eie thoroughly appreciated by the
large number present to extend their
good wishes and congratulations to
Mr. Ebinger.
In his remarks on the different cit
ies of Germany, Mr. Ebinger dwelt
especially on the magnificent muse
ums of Berlin and Munich. He alio
traveled for awhile in Switzerland and
said it is "chrueseli nat i de Schwiz."
When he returned from Switzerland
to Munich the mobilization order was
posted all over the city, and it worked
like clock-work. The number of re
servists who were hurrying to the
colors and the garrisons were count
less, and the people were so enthusi
astic and patriotic that their patriot
ic songs could be heard day and night.
The speaker related r. very remark
able incident that had been brought
to his mind. In the early part of
May some French soldiers worked at
the famous Mercedes automobile fac
tory of Dainler & Co. at Xurtnizen.
the place where Mr. Ebinger came
from, were called to the army and
these French soldiers wrote back to
the company that they were com
pelled to make trenches on the border
of Alsace-Lorraine, this being long
before war was declared. He also
spoke of the treaty that was found
by the German soldiers at Brussels,
which proves that since 1000 there
has been a mutual agreement exist
ing between France, England and Bel
gium to invade Germany, and the
great supplies of munitions found at
Maubenge proved that Belgium was
destined to be the place of concentra
tion of the troops of the Allies, and
still Belgium claimed to be neutral.
The people in England themselves ad
mit that the neutrality of Belgium is
a poor excuse, but on account of Ger
man industry and commerce Ger
many had to be crushed so that Eng
land could rule the waves. Mr. Ebin
ger was also in possession of a dum
dum bullet which it is claimed was
used by the English soldiers. He also
had one of the French bullets with
him. The enthusiasm of the German
people surpasses aM imagination,
states Mr. Ebinger, and they will fight
for their homes to the last drop of
blood against the enemy. He was
often told in Germany that they cie
sired no sympathy from America, but
desired to put the truth before the
citizens of this country in the right
light, and with the truth, since the
cablegrams -of the Allies as well as
colored reports have given the wrong
impression of the situation.

SERVICES AT THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH ARE DEING
LARGELY ATTENDED
From Wednesday's Daily.
The services at the Church of
Christ last week were well attended,
in spite of yesterday being election
day. Intense interest was given to
Evangelist Myers as he handled the
subject, "Rightly Dividing the Word
of Truth." His discourse was handled
in a masterly way and contained in
structions that are needed by all Bi
ble students. Brother Myers presents
his subjects in a clean-cut manner,
rnd uses language that a child may
understand, thus making the services
interesting for both young and old.
He has the cause of the Master at
heart and is enabled thereby to speak
the Word in kindness and love, which
is already beginning to get a hold on
those who attend the services. Broth
er Myers does not come to us as one
unknown, but he held a successful
pastorate of two and one-half years
at Elmwood in this county.. His sub
ject for tonight is "The Six King
doms." You are invited to attend
these services. Remember they begin
at 7:30 p. m., and usually close be
fore t) o'clock.
Thanksgiving Day, No
vember 26th, will contain the
fullest cause for gratitude if you come here now
and leave your order for a suit and overcoat from

noon very pleasantly entertained a
number of her neighbors at her home
on South Ninth street in honor of her
cousin, Mrs. Charles, of California.
The time was taken up over needle
work, which the guests had thought
fully taken with them. The conversa

Judge Beeson Wins Out.
From the indications of the few pre
cincts that have brought in return;
on the county judgesh-'p it would seem
to indicate that Judge Beeson would
be returned to his office by a majority
of from 1,200 to 1.500, but this, of
course, may be changed as only a few
scattering precincts have been turned
in on this proposition. The judge is
not worrying any, however, over the
result 6f the election which has been
purely a friendly rivalry for the of
fice. Hack! Hack!' Hack!
