it is the intention of the people of

the ailing mebmers. When the head
consul arose to speak he was given
an ovation.
At the conclusion of the speech of
Mr. Talbot, the Omaha delegation

ican Legion band arrived at the au
ditorium. Three drill teams accom
panied the delegation and led by the
band they marched around the audi

uniforms. The state camp passed a number of
resolutions. Head Consul A. It. Tal

on the bases and a wild heave to
third base by the catcher let in the

different and secure revenge

MASONIC HOME
BUYS FITZGER
ALD PROPERTY
WILL NOW HAVE QUITE AN EX
TENSIEV TRACT OF LAND
SURROUNDING HOME
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday eleven members of the
board of control of the Nebraska Ma
sonic Home association as well as
Joseph Fridenberg. grand master of
the Nebraska Masons ami Hon.
Francis E. White, grand secretary.
were in the citv visiting the Home
here and inspecting the conditions at
the institution as well as Mie im
provements that are now being made
there.
The Nebraska Masonic Home has
in the past year taken some forward
strides that has placed it in the front
rank of the public institutions of the
state and the splendid manner in
which Superintendent W. F. Evers
has handled the home and the keen
interest shown in its affairs bv the
board of control has made it a real
home for the aged Masons and the
ladies of the order. This fact has
been recognized by the grand lodge
officials of the state and they now
feel that it is an institution in which
the great order can well take a par
donable pride, as it is without doubt
one of the greatest of its kind in the
state or in fact, in this part of the
west.
The pleasing condition of affairs
at the Home in the past few months
has been recognized bv the board of
control and the grand lodge officers
and their visit here yesterday gave
them renewed pleasure at the manner
in which the aged members of the
crder are being cared for as well as
the splendid improvements that are
being made in the Home buildings
and on the grounds surrounding the
Home and the orphanage. While
here the board approved certain plans
as to the completion of the ornamen
tal work on the west front of the new
building as well as the walks and
driveways and the creation of a sys
tem of landscape gardening that will
add immensely to the beauty of the
grounds that lie in the vicinity of the
Home. .
One of. the important mat tern take
up by the board during their visit
here was the closing of the deal for
the purchase of the residence pro
perty of Edward .Fitzgerald which is
lecated just west of the present
grounds of the home and which gives
the Home association two full blocks
along Locust street and makes it pos
sible to fully carry out their desire3
in the way or ornamentation or fur
ther extension of the buildings of the
home should it be desired.
This is a matter that will be of
much interest to everyone in the
city and the public that always have
had a keen interest in the welfare
of the Home and the aged people who
have won a warm place in the hearts
of the Plattsmouth residents. The
chamber of commerce recently raised
the funds for the purchase of a por
tion of the lot of Mr. Fitzgerald for
road purposes and now the associa
tion has secured the entire property
and will commence at once to ar
range for its improvement.
Among those visiting the Home
here yesterday were: Grand Master
Joseph Fridenberg, Grand Secretary
Francis E. White.. Omaha; Rev. Luth
er Kuhns, George A. Thummell. 'Mil
lard Robertson, Judge Louis Berke.
Omaha; J. B. Nicodemus. wife and
sister of Fremont; O. E. Mickey, Os
ceola; John Earhart. Stanton; Frank
Wilcox. Omaha; Miss Bowers, of the
Masonic Orphanage of Fremont.
While in the city the members of
the party were entertained at dinner
at the Home with the residents and
during the course of the dinner. Rev.
Kuhns. Messrs. Thummell, White and
Earhart, gave a few remarks, congra
tulating the management of the home
on the splendid manner in which
the affairs was handled and also stat
ing the desire of the great Masonic
fraternity to aid in any way possible
to give their aged members and the
residents of the home every possible
com fort.
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
From Friday's Dally.
Attorney A. G. Cole addressed the
league last evening and after com
plimenting the members upon their
desire to qualify, a point often neg
lected by masculine voters, proceeded
to outline the legal aspects of our
duties as citizens. He emphasized
the need of tetaching in our homes
and schools a wholesome respect for
the laws of our land and said that ;
it was a voter's privilege and duty
to see that unjust laws were re
pealed. Mr. Cole gave some of his
experiences in convicting those law
breakers who by their nefarious prac- j
the prohibitory law, but to debauch
and poison the boys and young men
who can be induced to buy the vile ,
concoctions in which they deal.
A discussion of current events led
by Mrs. Roy Cole and participated in
by all present filled the remainder
of the evening.

CONTRACT LET FOR
WORK AT CEMETERY:
Harry Smith to Furnish White Mar
ble MHrkers and Steps To be
- Done by Decoration Day
One of the most beautiful memor
ial plats in any cemetery in the state
will be that owned by Hugh Kearns
Post No. 56. American Legion, in tho
local cemetery.
The plat, consisting of nine lots,
valued at $.'560, was deeded to the
post some time ago by the council,
and this spring the Legion has been
busy making some improvements
thereon, including turning over the
uneven sod, double discing, harrow
ing and raking, and the ground now
is perfectly level and ready to be
seeded down.
Last night at the Legion executive
committee meeting it was voted to
let the contract to Harry Smith. local
monument dealer for furnishing a
number of genuine white marble
markers set at intervals around the
outside of the plat, and through
which will be run inch and three-
quarter pipe at sufficient height
above the ground to permit of the
free passage of lawn mower wheels
underneath. At the entrance will
be a large marble step on which is
to be inscribed the wording "Amer
ican Legion" and on the markers at
each end of the step will be cut the
American Legion emblem. In the
center a steel flag pole will be set in
a cement base.
The whole scheme is worked out
with the intention of leaving as much
space to grass as possible.
Original plans contemplated the
building of a narrow cement wall
around the plat at a distance of some
five inches from the ground, but on
advice of competent cement workers,
it was discarded for the marble.
which although it costs several times
as much will be permanent as well
as far more sightly.
Although this will take a consid
erable portion of the carnival pro
ceeds, the bos believe the money will
be well spent and in a worthy im
provement. NOW SHOWING IN OMAHA
Ben Zirella, or as he is better
known here, Ben Hankinson, the
tight and slack wire performer, ar
rived in Omaha this morning where
