MEETING LAST NIGHT
From Thursday's Dally.
Last evening Cass camp No. 332.
Modern "Woodmen of America, held
a very largely attended and enthu
siastic meeting at lheir lodge rooms
in Hi M. W. A. building, and .which
was one of the most pleasing that
Las .c(i enjoyed for a great many
months.
The camp had as guests of the
evening. E. E. Kester. state deputy
of the order and William James, the
rustling deputy, who has been one
of the big factors in recruiting
members for the large and progres
sive camp of the order in this city,
and both of these gentlemen took
parr in the initiatory ceremonies in
which the new members were receiv
ed into the order la.st evening.
The class which was adopted was
one of the largest that has been tak
-n in for several months and many
and varied were the adventures that
be;ef the initiates as they advanced
through the forest to take the full
responsibility of Woodcraft and the
lessons taught will be long remem
bered by all the members.
Following the conferring of the
degrees on the candidates a number
of the members were heard on the
good of the order and attested their
faith in the organization that has
proven such a tower of strength in
helpfulness to its member and in
protecting the widow and orphan
when the "Woodman" is taken to
the great beyond.
Mr. Kester gave a rousing ad
dress on the work of the Modern
Woodmen and the many good fea
tures of social activities that might
be secured by the members of Cass
camp in the future and which would
tend to bind the fraternal ties of
the members and muke each closer
to the other in the work of the
order. -
J. L. Stamp,, a member of the
local camp, who has had experience
with the usefulness of the order to
its membership as is shown in the
great sanitarium at Colorado Springs,
spoke briefly of his experience
there and what the order had done
to bring him back to health and
his tribute to the value of the
order was one that was much ap
preciated by everyone of the mem
bers present.
At the close of the session the
members were invited to the dining
room where the committee compos
ed of Carl Kunsmann and A. F.
Braun had a tine luncheon in wait
ing that had been prepared by Mes
danies Braun and Kunsmann and
Miss Anna Hassler. and the ladies
are sure receiving the heartiest of
commendation for their part in help
ing out the hungry members of the
craft by providing the dainty lunch

WITH WORK OF MAKING
THE DEBRIS FLY
The song birds of the springtime,
whose songs are heard in the early
morning hours proclaiming the fact
that the dreary days of old winter
are passing away, have brought
with them the spirit of clean up
and improvement to the residents
of the community and the homes of
the city are all being treated to a
general cleanup these days.
During the winter months there

of debris that accumulates around
, the homes and business houses and
that must be banished with the com-
fng Df spring. This is now being
done awav with bv the industrious

The city authorities are very anx
ious that all possible steps be taken
to have the city cleaned up in good
shape by the time warm weather ar
rives, and especially in the business
section of the city, where there are a
number of places where the debris
of the winter season, including ac
cumulations of ashes, are in need of
removal before warm weather.
The chief of police has issued a
request to the citizens to get busy
with the spring cleanup and his re
quest should be heeded not only to
avoid trouble but to show a desire
of entering into the general munici-
pal housecleaning that is planned

The weather in the past weeks
has been ideal to get things cleaned
up and a large number of the resi
dents .are , getting busy on their
homes with new paint and improve

city more beautiful than ever in
this glad spring time.

MAYOR H. A. SCHNEIDER GIVES and they had a tough time reaching
VERY CLEAR TALK ON
MUNICIPAL NEEDS.
From Friday's Daily.
There were a larpe number of the
women voters of the city present at
the parlor.- of the Methodist church
yesterday afternoon to hear the very
able address given by Mayor H. A.
Schneider on the form of city gov
ernment and the needs of the city
in th2 way of a good business-like
administratoin of the affairs of the
city.
Mr. Schneider gave an unusually
clear end careful explanation of the
form of government of the cities of
the class of which .Plattsmouth is a
part and how the duties of the var
ious offices are divided up in the
transaction of the business affairs
of the municipality that proved a
revelation to the ladies who have '
had little experience in the conduct
of city affairs. He also pointed out
the importance of the various offices
and particularly of the city council,
which is the real governing body of
the municipality and which has the
expenditure of the city funds in its
hands. Each year Mr. Schneider ex
plained, the city spends in the
neighborhood of $50,000 in the con
duct of its affairs and the average
citizen has given but little thought
as to how or where this money tn
expended and the results secured.
The mayor, as one of the points
of his address, discussed the bond
question that has been an important
matter during his administration as
a large amount of the city bonds
were due at the opening of the pres
ent year and it required the refund
ing of ?9G.000.0l) of the bonds which
was made for one year and therefore
will require rehandling at the close
of the present year. In this matter
the mayor pointed out the wisdom
that had been shown by former May-
or tier ten years ago in providing
- ,.w.ut -
a ":'"Z"'"l?
ess and which had retired $23,000
of city bonds in '1918 and made pos
sible the easy handling of the re
funding bonds of that year. Had
this policy been started many years
ago to pay off the city debt, there
would have been a clear slate now.
but as it was the present city gov
ernment had been compelled to clear
up the matter to preserve the city -
credit at the cost of a premium to
secure the sale of the refunding
bonds of the last issue, owing to the j
unstable condition of the present
bond market.
These facts were 'given as an ex
ample of the reasons why every
resident of the city should take a
keener interest in city affairs and
the selection of the city officials.
He urged the selection of the best
possible men for the city council

an all business men or an all labor

representatives of both were badly
needed as there are many problems
arising that require the careful busi
ness judgment of men who are thor
oughly familiar with modern busi
ness methods. Mr. Schneider also
paid .tribute to the splendid services
some of the men from the Burling
ton shops have given the council re
ferring in his address to C. A. John
son and George Luschinsky.
The thoughtful participation of
all citizens in the coming election
was urged and in picking the best
men regardless of political affiliation
for the city business is a matter of
the greatest importance, Mr. Schnei
der stated.

AOOLPli RHODE
ATTEMPTS TO
TAKEHIS LIFE
SHOOTS SELF WHILE ON TRAIN
EN ROUTE FROM OMAHA
TO ST. JOSEPH. M0.
From Saturday's Daily.
Adolpb Rhode, a former resident
of this city, and who has for the
past three years been employed as
a linotype operator in the office of
the Omaha Bee, shot himself early
yesterday morning on a train en
route from Omaha to St. Joseph.
Missouri, with probahle fatal re
sults. Mr. Rhode left Omaha Thursday
night over the Burlington for St.
Joseph, supposedly for a visit in
that city with a printer friend,
and while en route committed the
rash act that will in all proiability
result in his death. The friends of
Mr. Rhode had had no intimation
of his intention of attempting to
end his life and while he was in
the compartment on the train, lie
drew a revolver and fired the prob
able fatal shot, the bullet entering
the breast Just below the heart and
passing out through the back.
The injured man. as soon as the
train reached St. Joseph, at 4 :."? in
the morning. was hurried to the
Knsworth hospital, where he was
given treatment anil the surgeons in
attendance gave as their opinion
that his chances of recovery were
very doubtful.
The unfortunate man was the
yonugest son of Mrs. Helen Rhode of
this city and was here two weeks
ago for a visit with the mother, at
which time he was in the best of
spirits and apparently bad no
thought of his self-destruction. He
has in the past few years been treat
ed quite often for mental trouble
and a re-occurrance of this malady
is thought to have been the cause
ofhis rash act. Mr. .Rhode was
forty years of age and a man of un
usual brilliancy in hi" line of work,
being gifted villi a y'-did facu'ty
in newspaper work and literature,
and in his profession found a great
pride and pleasure. He was started
on his newspaper career in this
city at the office of the livening
News and was for some time with
the -Evening Journal as a linotype
operator.
The many friends of the family
and of the young man learn with
much regret of the unfortunate af
fair and trust that Mr. Rhode may
recover from the effects of the shoot
ing. A message from St. Joseph at noon
today stated that Mr. Rhode had
spent a reasonably quiet day, but.
was still in critical condition, and
i;rcr.:ird to keep the aged mother
and . brother, Gottherd Rhode, of
this city in touch with the condi
tion tf the unfortunate man.
Charles Rhode, a brother whom it
