GLASS OF NINE CON
FIRMED LAST NIGHT
At St. Luke's Episcopal Church, by
Right Reverend II. S. Long
ley, D. D., of Iowa.
From Saturday's lallv.
Last evening St. Luke's Parish
was visited by the Right Reverend
Harry Sherman Longley, D. I)., the
Bishop Coadjutor of Iowa, "and the
Sacrament of Holy Confirmation was
administered. On account of the
busy life of the Bishop, made doubly
busy by taking extra duties in Ne
braska, the service had to be chang
ed to quarter past seven so that
Bishop Longley might take the nine
o'clock train for Pacific Junctioir
enroute for Council Bluffs ami Dos
Moines. However a large congrega
tion assembled at that hour and ev
eryone present will remember a long
time the beautiful and simple ser
vice, the spiritual address to the
Class and the forceful sermon of the
Bishop.
The Bishop's sermon was more
than forceful. It was inspiring and
helpful. His, text was. "What think
ye of Christ?"
Confirmation was administered to
a class of nine.
At the close of the service Bi?;hop
Longley shook hands with the entire
congregation.

Yctordny L. C. Sharp, proprietor
of the Western Machine shops, re
ceived a cablegram from Manches
ter. Knsland. asking for a descrip
tion ami prico-s on the cone manu
facturing machine which is a product
of the local factory and which the
British concern wishes to purchase
in large numbers. On account of
tho message being partly in the A.
B. C. code Mr. Sharp was compelled
to so to Omaha for a key for the
interpretation of the message. Upon
learning what it contained he imme
diately took steps to give the Brit
ish parties the desired information,
and expects within a short time to
receive an ordf-r for shipment abroad
of these machines. This will not,
however, be the local factory's first
export business as already hundreds
of the safety cranks for Ford cars,
as well as the steering device manur
factured here, have been, shipped to
foreign countries. This institution
is building up a large domestic and
foreign trade and should receive the
encouragement and hearty support
of everyone in Plattsmouth.

mendations after the session has
progressed, and the needs of the Na
tion are decided upon, following the
signing of the peace treaty.
The Military Appropriation Bill,
which failed of passage, was based
cn an army cf V2 million. It 1s
probably the intention of Secretary
Baker to push this measure at the
beginning-of the session and delay
consideration cf a permanent reorg
anization bill until later in the session.
