Late Last Night.
Last evening shortly before 1')
o'clock, when .Mr. and Mrs. Charles
IJovey wore passing the ('. I-. Merger
bakery on their way home, they no
tin,! a ruddy glow in the rear of the
rr.om r.!il a second glance revealed
the fact that there was a tire ot
t-oi'ie natur- raging in the building
.-r.ii Mr Dovev at once hastened to
the Arrie pool hall to call up ti;'
ovn-r of the bakery.

JJCV. Henderson, of Cook. Liebraska,' hai! " f,jrnied and commenced ' to lind
its wav out of the building and it
was di-cided that fur; her delay would
be dangerous and accordingly the
glass in the front door was broken
and entrance secured to the build
ing. The wood was found to be
blazing very strongly and the flames
were shooting clear to the ceiling.
r.uckets were procured and if it
had been possible to secure a proper
water supply the fire would have
lasted euly a few seconds, but as it
was there was considerable delay in
getting sufficient water from the
pipes over the sink to put out the
fire. The electric wiring also burn
ed at tli is time and caused some ex
iciter.ient for those who were in the
i building, but the work of John Mar
; tin i:i pulling out the fuse soon shut
,1'ft the juice and allowed the tire
(fighters to carry out their work,
j The fire truck arrived in a few
(moments after the telephone alarm
'had been given, but by this time the.
tire was under control aim n:e
danger passed of any serious trouble
Last evening the members of Platte
lodge Xo 7. I.O.O.F. met at their lodge
rooms to take part in the one hundred

visitors entered into the spirit of the
occasion that marked tli beginning
of the great fraternity in this cun
t ry.
Fallowing the lodge meeting the
members were invited to the baronet
hall where a very enjoyable least had
been prepared by the members of the
b.dge anil over which John !'. battler
presided as toastmaster.
Tiie main address of the evening
was delivered by Iv. J. F. Henderson
of Cook. Nebraska, who had been in
the city ha a guest of his brother J.
W. Mender.-cn. and this address win
one wtll worthy of the great princi
ples upon which the order of Odd
Fellowship is founded. The address
was more in the nature of a real ser
mon on he keynotes of the order,
touching the loftv and inspiring mo

grown to occupy in the lives of those,
who have come to its doors to. find a !

loss to .Mr. Merger will not
reach much of a figure as the heavi
est loss is that of the window in the
dfor which had 'to be broken and- to
a sin- 11 section of the wall of the
bakery, where the flames destroyed
the wall paper.
Mr. Merger feels very grateful for
the prompt work of the citizens and
fire department in getting on the job
of extinguishing the flames, as a few
moments more would have caused
the fir? to get a good start and be
come hard to subdue.

ACCORDING TO SIZE
I From Wedneslay's Hatly
The anniversary social of the
f Christian church last evening was
one of the most largely attended as
I well as enjoyable social events that
I have been held in the church in re-
cent weeks and the members of the
! party participating in the gathering
1 reached the number of 200.
I The service class has originated
the pleasant custom of holding one
I ) of these socials each month and each
j ' of them has been of the greatest
pleasure, the climax being reached
! ; in the one of last night.
I ' During the evening games of all
I kinds were enjoyed by the members
I I as well as a very inspiring program
I ' of recitations and music that served
j to further heighten the pleasures of
the evening. Miss Ethel Stone gave
!a delightful instrumental number
I while a vocal selection by Miss Le-
I ona Hudson and a number by Mr. B.
! I A. McElwain also served to add to
I j the enjoyment of the members of
J.the gathering.
j. Headings were given by Wilma
keener ana n;stner uoawin that
showed much talent on the part of
these ladies and as the closing num
ber of the program a very pretty
tableau was given in which Miss
Thelma Hudson sang very charming-
Stone and little Miss Flora Pickett.
The wedding anniversaries observ
ed were those of Mr. and Mrs. Dewey
Ueed. August Swanson and Henry
Chandler.
It was a late hour when the party
adjourned, feeling that it had been
truly some real, enjoyable event.
Mrs. J. R. Kelly and daughter.
Miss Edith, were among those going
to Omaha this morning to visit for
the day in .that city looking after
some matters of business and call
ing on their many friends.

Phone No. 1 Plattsmouth, Neb.
The new constitution of the state
as well as the recent enactment of
the legislature provides that the
state supreme court may request the
district judges of the state to sit
with t he high court on hearing cases
that may come before them and to
review the cases that are brought
to trial in the supreme court.
The state supreme court yester
day requested District Judge James
T. Iiegley of this city to come to
Lincoln Monday and take part in the
deliberations of the court. This is
the first time that a district judge
has been so honored and the recog
nition of Judge Begley is very pleas
ing to the residents of this district,
over which he has presided for the
past six years.
The work of Judge Begley on the
bench of the second judicial district,
composed of Cass. Otoe and Sarpy
counties, has been of a very high
standard and the splendid ability of
the able jurist has been recognized
over the state, where his decisions
have reached and during his term of
office he has grown to occupy the
position of one of the leaders of the
Nebraska bench.
