The following is a letter written
by Cluster Welsheimer from Man
hattan. Kansas, where he is located
in a training camp.
Manhattan, Kans., Sept. 2Z.
Kind Friend:
1 want you, all of the Plattsmouth
people, to remember that I and all
tee boys appreciated the kindnesses
shown us when we departed and
: ir.ee. Pi looking after our welfare.
The little city of Manhattan, Kansas,
where we nre located is sure doing
its full share in working for the
comfort and good of all the boys.
The Red (":-.; have built a Commun
ity house which is equipped with ev
irv comfort, and is tit for a king.
All the churchi" of this city do all
they can to induce the soldiers here
to attend the services and everyone
gets an invitation to some home for
dinner. Paring the afternoon the
boys are given an entertainment in
the park, which is a beautiful place,
then they are also furnished supper.
Lnst month over one thousand boys
were taken to ponies of citizens for
dinner. I have had the honor of be
ing the guest in many of them, one
especially I mention that of G. W.
Cilihaucr, whose hospitality is felt
very thankful for as it seemed so
home like. This place reminded us
of our dear Father and Mother at
home, how solicitous they are for our
wtlfare. We cannot forget the kind
ness of the parents, when we were
at home and how their hands minis
tered to our every comfort. The
bnys from Cass county have mostly
left here, there remains now only
E. A, DuBois, Frank Miller. George
Conier, of Union, Ralph Marshall,
arid Frank Miller who is in the base
hospital at Ft. Riley, which is near
here being treated. He is in Sec. A
Ward 1 and had been there since a
diort time after he was sent here.
The weather is getting much cooler
here, looks like fall. Tell everyone
to write the boys in camp. They will
appreciate getting the letters.
Sincerely yours. '

SOME OF THE SAME MEDICINE.
From "Weilncsilay'f I'aily.
It hf.s come to our hearing that
a certain married man, who became
enaniered with a certain young girl,
loth being a little foolish that way,
who because the wife was interfer
ing, shipped her and shutting her in
the cellar, went to church so as to
be near the object of his prevcrted
affections. The wife finally crawled
out through the cellar window, and
went to a neighbors house, where she
reported the occurrence. Looks like
a little of the same treatment would
have been good to go all aronnd. the
