On account of the prevailance of smallpox in the western portion of the countj and some of the church congregation at "Wabash have thf malady, and others being exposed it was considered best not to hold meetings until the disease had beer stampe dout.

Another Attempt at Burglary. There was an attempt, though un successful, of breaking into the Far mers Store at Union which occurred cne day last week. Attempts were rade at a number of places about the building and it is not known why they stopped before accom r ishing their purpose, unless it was fiat they thought some one was in side to receive them.

O. box 153, Plattsmouth, Nebraska. 322 6td 2tw The most exquisite line of birth day and gift cards to be found any where! At Journal office. New York. Jan. 22. Soviet Rus sia's official family in the United States forty-five persons left to day amid cheering from hundreds who sympathize with the Moscow government. On the steamer were three-score radicals deported from Ellis island, but the groups did not mingle. The radicals Mere huddled into the steerage, while the deported "ambassador." Ludwig Martens, led his official party to the deck and with his wife entered a suite de luxe, while his staff and associates pro'ided themselves with cabin ac commodations. Some of these in the soviet party departed voluntarily while others sailed at the command of Uncle Sam. All but one smiled as their ship steamed past the stat ute of liberty. The only tears were shed by three-year-old Svetlana Mar tens, born in Brooklyn and daughter of the "ambassador." Red flowers, songs for the soviet and shouts of encouragement burst forth on the crowded piers, but only one red flag was seen. The man who waved it soon lost both the ban ner and his hat and acquired a black eye and an injured nose. Red Flag Waver Punished After five young Americans caught him outside the pier, he predicted lots of red flags would flourish in the United States. This thought was shared by the departing Rus sians and man of the hundreds who showered them with kisses and cries of "comrade." "Ambassador" Martens said his absence would be only temporary and would be "wondered at in the new future, when the United States and soviet Russia got together on friendly terms." He expressed no sadness at leaving the country which for more than two years disdained to recog nize him officially and then ordered him to depart. The steamer Stockholm will take the Russians to Gothenberg. Sweden. From there they will go to Libau, Latvia, and then overland to Mos cow. The Stockholm sailed for Gothen berg shortly after 3 o'clock bearing the Martens party on the first leg of its journey back to Russia. Although the department of labor offered the best accommodations the ship affords. Martens declined, saying he wished to buy a ticket and "travel like any other passenger." Martens Says He Is Grateful Before boarding the ship. Martens issued a statement expressing "grate ful appreciation for the great per sonal kindness and courtesy I have received from many Americans in all vocations throughout the country." He said it was a source of personal pleasure "to find everywhere men and women who have not allowed hys terical fears or prejudice to move them from their sympathy with the cause I have represented." J'My departure," the statement continued, "has come as the logical and inevitable consequence of the policy of the American government toward soviet Russia." He declared he had worked a long time before be ing able to induce the expression of a definite policy and that "my mis sion here would have terminated much earlier if the department of state had been willing to take the responsibility which was finally as sumed by the department of labor. This, however, is a curious matter of American official proceedure, Yours for Best Service !

Come and enjoy a good time. You cannot afford to miss it. POPULAR PRICES Union Show Company which I do not pretend to under stand." Mr. Martens said he had no know ledge of the future plans of the American government, "nor can I tell what direction this policy of ignoring the existence of the estab lished government of the largest country in Europe will lead." "I can onlj say." he concluded, "that when the American people are prepared to approach this prob-1 lem. the government of the Russian . workers and peasants will be ready I to meet them in a reasonable and j friendly spirit."
