MUTES PROVED GOOD FLAYERS No Shouting: "Put Her 'ere' as the Game Progressed Score was 38 to 18 in Our Favor. From Saturday's Daily. Those who expected to sei a good game of basket ball last evening be tween the local high school team and the Nebraska school for deal mutes, were not disappointed. True, the game lacked some of the noise so frequently heard from the play ers in moments of intense playing, but the boys from the state school were alert and on their toes all the time even though handicapped by utter lack of hearing and speech. A good preliminary game between two teams picked from the high school, was staged before the main event. It was one filled with much interest. The beginning of the game with the visiting team was watched with more than ordinary interest on ac count of the state school boys' in ability to talk and the spectators were anxious to observe what sort of playing tactics they would rely upon It was soon noticed however that the boys were well trained iu the game and could hold their own with any ordinary team. But the fast Plattsmouth Five proved a little too much for them and gradually forged ahead until at the end of the second half the score stood i.S to IS. The number of games the mules have lost so far this season is very small, and they are in good position to have won a penant had there been one to contest for. They are a very well ln-haved bunch of bos. and know the rudiments of basket ball first rate. even though they can't tell you anything about them. But we rather believe that's a better combination than being able to tell you all about them and not know anythiug about them. This leaves the Plattsmotith team with a very enviable record and in first class shape to enter the state turnament at Lincoln on the 12th. 13th. and 1 Ith of this month. SERGEANT EDGAR L.

I thought I would just have to throw up my job. "My wife read in the papers where a man who had suffered like I was had been helped by taking Taulac, and she begged me to try it. After I had taken Tanlac a few days I began to get hungry and started in eating like I was starved, and nothing hurt me a bit. Soon those awful pains in my stomach and back were gone. I sleep fine at night now and get up in the morn ing full of life and energy and ready for my work." Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by F. G. Fricke Co., in Alvo by Alvo Drug Co., in Avoca by O. E.

CASTO R I A For Infans and Children in Uso ;?or Over 30 Years PRISON SPOILS A PROPHET, IT IS LEARNED TEN-YEAR SENTENCE . PUT A CRIMP IN ELIJAH H'S RELIGIOUS SECT. QQQD BEGINNING POOR ENDING After .the Rev. F. W. Sandford, Founder of "Holy Ghost" Cult, Did Time for Manslaughter His Followers Found A Change. From Tlnirpda's Dally. Ten years in the federal peniten tiary spoils a prophet. At least that is what the disciples of the Rev. Frank W. Sandford are beginning to think. The other day two of the leading "elders" of Sandford's Holy Ghost and Us Society at Shiloh, Me., renounced the faith and left the palatial quarters at Shiloh iu the belief that prison walls don't have the right results on a man who says he is the second Elijah. The followers of the prophet are deserting by the scores and the re ligion that flourished for a quarter century appears doomed unless the Reverend Mr. Sandford can show he profited by his prison sojourn as did Bun van. Twenty-five years ago Sanders, with the capital of a wheelbarrow and a few dollars, started to build a "mighty temple to the glory of God" on the top of a hill near Dur ham. Me. As the news of this cur ious project went abroad hundreds flocked to his assistance and soon the buildings assumed great propor tions. It took on the semblance of i colony and every day new pil grims came and carried with them substantial gifts. Many sold their farms and brought their families, '.uruiug over all of their possessions .o Sandford. A common fund was ised for the construction of the empe. Prayed In Relays For Years. The first apartment finished in the structure was a little room away up in a tower with round windows. Here a "saint" was set at prayer, and even until today prayer has never ceased in that room, relays of the brethren being in constant wor ship. Soon after the temple was com pleted the colony numbered several hundred persons. Theywere study ing the Bible and making themselv es fit to win the world from its ways of wickedness. The method )f housekeeping was co-operative. From the general fund came the support of the members and the PUBLIC JUCTION !

DOVEY, Clerk. temple, tbn valued at $200,000, served as shelter. In the midst of this prosperity Sandford got a "call" to visit far off shores and convert the inhabitants. He chartered the yacht Coronet, and with fifty of "those nearest to God" embarked on the mission. The crew fell ill from exposure and lack of food, but even then Sandford refus ed to turn back. Finally when six sailors had died he consented to end the cruise ou the west coast of Africa. Sentenced For Manslaughter. When he returned to the United States he was arrested and sentenc ed to ten years" imprisonment on a manslaughter charge. Throughout the time Sandford was serving Ins sentence lie main tained his innocence and promised that the Holy Ghost would rent asunder the walls of the prison and free him. His followers waited ten years for his delivery, and when his freedom came by means of expired time their faith began to wane, and the temple at Shiloh lacked the old time prosperity. A report says a son of Sandford, a private at Camp j Devens. has renounced the sect and w ill not return to Shiloh on his dis charge from service.

From Saturday's ra!Ty. This morning. Rev. Levi W. Scott, who has had charge of collecting the funds for the relief of the starv ing Armenians and Syrians, receiv ed a draft from Murray for the sum of $204.00, which has been raised by the people of that hustling little city.
