PAGE X PLATTSMOUTn SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL- MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1916- AUTHORITIES "UP A TREE" AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH F. DEITHEL From Saturday's Dally. The question of what is to be done with Fritz Deithel, the young man who has been here for the past few months as a charge on the city and county is one that is now adding grey hairs to the head of the county com missioners and a solution of the prob lem will bring a reward to anyone who can bring it forth. The young man i.5 now lodging at the county jail after the uncessful efforts of the city to get rid of him. He was fired out of the city but in a few days was again back in our midst and decorating the passenger stations which are his fav orite resting places and all efforts to get him to take himself hence have proven to be without success. He was even sent out with a number of other wanderers but did not wander far as he deserted his companions and re turned to Flattsmouth. The experi ment of keeping him at the county farm was not a success as he refuses to do any work and raised several varities of trouble with the other resi dents of the farm so that it was nec essary for the sheriff to remove him. If he could be transported so far that it would be impossible for him to re turn the county would be a great deal better off in the long run as it is rath er expensive to maintain him and im possible to let him roam at large and freeze or starve to death. FAREWELL TENDERED TO MRS. V, ZUCKER BY HER FRIENDS FRED ENGELKEMEIER IS RE PORTED AS BEING QUITE ILL From Friday's Dally. Fred Engelkemeier, residing in the second ward is reported as being quite ill at his home for the past few days and his family and friends are quite worried over his condition and there does not seem to be any change for the better. Mr. Engelkemeier is one of the best known gentlemen in east em Cass county as he was engaged in farming for several years in the vicinity of Nehawka, and his many friends will regret very much to learn of his unfortunate condition and trust that he may soon show signs of improvement. "A QUEST FOR GOWN" PURELY A LOCAL OPER ETTA BY HOME TALENT From Saturday's Dallv. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. V. Zucker was given a most pleasant surprise by a number of her friends at her home and the occasion was one very much enjoyed by the members of the party, although the gathering was in the nature of a farewell, as the Zucker family will remove from this city in the next few weeks, and there was a general feeling of regret that their friend was soon to leave them. The "conspirators" gathered at the home of Mrs. C"lirles Mehering, and at 5 o'clock, with well laden baskets of good thinss to eat, moved onto the Zucker home and were able to spring a complete surprise on their friend. Several hours were passed most pleas antly in visiting and enjoying the so ciety of each other, as well as in lis tening to a number of delightful in strumental numbers given by ML Dorothy Zucker. The guest.?, when the hour for parting came, wended their way homeward, expressing their re trret that they were soon to lose the hostess from their circle of friendship and wishing her much happiness in her future home. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PLATTSMQUTH FRUIT STORE From Saturday's Dally. The Flattsmouth Fruit Co. of this city has added several improvements to the interior of their store which will add greatly to the facilities of their business and also serve to keep a portion of their stock of goods in a much more sanitary condition. This is a fine new show case, which allows the display of goods and at the same time keeps in perfect condition from the air and dust that might otherwise prove a detriment to the trade. In addition to the show case a fine dust- proof candy case, as well as cheese case, have been secured for the store and are now in use. Mr. Hankinson, the owner of the store, if possible, de- fires to secure a large store room where his large stock can be arranged in proper shape and the expansion desired in the business secured. The new improvement is but the first of the series that is contemplated by this firm. Women of Sedentary Habits. Women who get but little exercise are likely to be troubled with constipa tion and indigestion and will find Chamberlain's Tablets highly benifi cial. , Not so good as a three or four mile walk every day, but very much better than to allow the bowels to remain in a constipated condition. They are easy and pleasant to take and most agreeable in effect. Obtain able everywhere. M. Tritsch, refracting optician, at Gering & Co.'s Wednesday and Satur day evenings. Examination free.

Forty-five of our most popular young people are preparing to give us a treat in the nature of a three-act comedy with music, "A Quest for a down. for the benefit of the local chapter of the Daughters of American Revolu tion. The cause is a most creditable one, and we take for granted that the play will be the same, as it was staged in Fremont last year bv the same over seers, at a high admission to a crowd ed house and recieved many favorable comments in the newspapers. Mrs. Fred Laird and. Miss Alder man of Fremont, who are authors of the entire production words, music and dance steps, and the staging the play here, have written several other plays and produced more than a dozen, all of these were from the pen of one or both of the Young ladies, and pro duced at different places in the state. Fapers from Fremont, Arlington. Stuart and Lincoln, speak highly of their ability and the results obtained, as do also, the literary and musical critics to whom the manuscripts have been sent for criticism. Miss Alderman, who writes the music is highly praised as a young woman of considerable talent. Two of her Operettas for children have been sold outright and are published after having been successfully stageii in Fremont. Mrs. Laird, who is daughter of Judge Geo. Loom if, now Internal Revenue Collector for Ne braska, studied play writing and elocu tion at Nebraska university and in Hannover, Germany. She was regent of the D. A. R. chapter at Fremont when the play was produced there The young ladies staged a nlav for the Redpath Lyseum Bureau last sum mer. We hope in a few days to give our readers the list of names of the cast and a short sketch of the production.
