ASKS UNIVERSAL PRAYERS New York, Dec. 26. Christmas was a day of anguish to Pope Benedict, who sent a message to America through the United Press, urging uni versal prayers for an early ending of the European slaughter. The pope's exhortation was received by cable as follows: "To the United Press, New York: "Rome, Dec. 25. While the hymn of the angels resounds glory be to God in the highest heaven and peace on earth, good will to men, the slaughter in Europe, of which there is no exam ple in history, continues. "All men are brothers because they are sons of God and specifically are Christians and Catholics. All, moved by this feeling of spiritual brother hood, must work and pray for the speedy ending of this terrible war, which has dishonored Europe and plunged all humanity into mourning, i "This is the exhortation that the Holy Father, His heart filled with an guish, sends forth to the world.

COOLEDGE A message was received here yes terday by friends of the family an nouncing the death of little Helen, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Cooledge, who passed away at an early hour Saturday morning at Rosalie, Nebraska, where the family has resided for the past few years.

The sympathy of the many friends of the family will go out to the bereaved parents in- the loss of their darling little daughter, who after two years of life is taken from their midst.

"THE FRAME UP" AT THE GEM TUES DAY EVENING The next Broadway feature which will be shown at the Gem theater on Tuesday evening next, will be that of The Frame-Up," a stirring play of American politics, introducing George Fawcett, America's most famous actor, in the role of this kind. The story in brief is of a mayor who could not be bought, of a boss who could not buy and a woman who would not sell. The story in brief is as follows: Luke Simms, a charitable and hon est politician, is elected mayor with the assistance of Sears, a corrupt political boss. Simms meets Florida, Sears' mistress, while alleviating dis tress in the slums. They fall in love with each other and marry. Florida, however, does not reveal her past to Simms. Sears, attempting to force Simms to sign a crooked bill, threatens to ex pose his wife's past, and Simms, angered at Sears' covert threat, goes to the latter's home to demand an explanation. Sears has ruined his stenographer, Nell, who gives birth to his child. Her brother, Ned, learns of her shame, and, enraged, steals into Sears home to kill his sister's betrayer. He extracts the cartridges from Sears' revolver. A moment later Simms enters the house and Sears comes into the library to talk with him, not known that Ned is secreted there. Sears tells Simms of Florida's past and threatens to pub licity expose her. Simms, mad with rage, attacks Sears, and when the lat ters attempt to stab him snaps the ater's revolver. At the same instant Ned shoots Sears dead and Simms be- ieves he has killed the corrupt boss. At Simms trial Florida confesses her past and 'the sympathetic jury frees Simms. Later Ned is trailed by a young patrolman and when fatal- y shot confesses that he killed Sears. Simms and Florida are reunited. MR. AND MRS. E. G.

FORMER CASS COUN TY PEOPLE IN MON TANA DOING WELL We are in receipt of a communica tion from Mrs. Alva Osborn, who re sides near Jordan, Mont., in which she encloses subscription money and says: "We have had some snow, but not very cold, only 10 below zero. The people in Nebraska would be freezing to death. We don't think it very cold until it reaches 35 bolow. The crops were good here this year, especially small grain. There were severa threshing machines in operation this year, where only a few years ago we h;;d none. The good homestead land is going fast. The little town of Jor dan is growing into a city when there used to be only one store. Also, they have built a High school during the past year and there are about fifty scholars enrolled, and grades with three teachers, wheio there used to be no sub schools there are about ten how, with an average of ten scholars enrolled, and teachers are scarce. Miss Ethel Thomas, a former Cass county girl, will receive the honor of being the first to graduate from the Jordan High school. Miss Thomas is a niece of Mrs. D. O. Dwyer of Platts mouth; her home was at Elmwood. Miss Hazel Lamphear, a former Plattsmouth girl and Cass county teacher, who is teaching in one of the sub schools, gave a program and box social the 11th of December at the home of her uncle, J. I. Osborn, which was a complete success, both socially and financially, realizing the neat sum of $226.50. There were 115 grown people, not including the children; only forty-four boxes were sold. I will send you a copy of the Jordan Gazette." Mrs. Osborn's former home was Plattsmouth, residing here about ten years, and she has resided in Mon tana six years. FUNERAL OF THE LATE J. G.
