the fact that at this sale the condi

the three previous events.
The fact that the rainy weather
had held many back from attending
the Ak-Sar-IJen caused them to take
advantage of the nice weather yes
terday to visit the metropolis and
this had a tendency to check the
attendance at the sales clay, but nev-er-the-less
the stores of the city were
well filled all day with the careful
buyers to take the fullest advantage
of the bargains offered them by the
merchants.

those that have preceded it showed
that the power of advertising was
the great factor in reaching the buy

As a special feature of the sales
ay an aviator from the Nielson field
in Council Bluffs was here for ike
day and gave those desiring it a spin
in the air at a special reduced rate.
The flying fit-Id had been planned for
the land ea?t of the Burlington sta
tion but the aviator on his arrival
here derided that the ground there
wa1- too soft for the recent heavy
rains and would interfere with the
success of his nights and accordingly
it was decided to locate Jthe landing
field at the farm of S. A. Wiies south
west of the city, from where the
plane flew last summer during the
Bargains Circus. A great many of
the residents of the city and sur
round territory er.joyed trips up into
the blue sky during the afternoon
and early evening and the thrill ex
perienced will remain fresh in the
memory of the participants for a
long time.
While making a flight toward dark
last night the aviator had some trou
ble with his engine when about 100
feet in the air and was forced to
make a landing in a potato patch on
the Ed Spangler farm. At the time
the plane was carrying Russell Was-

John Vlcek, Former Rector of the
Holy Rosary Church Writes
of Conditions There.
Edward Donat of this city has just
received a letter from Rev. John
Vlcek, former rector of the Holy
ovary church in this city, and in
whi?h.the former prie;t sends his
greetings to the old friends in this
city. He is at present at Ulkonice,
Czecho-Slovakia. making his home
with his sister and enjoying a long
needed rest and has laid aside the
cares of the priesthood for the pres-
eul U.L leasi.
He states that he still is deeply
interested in gardening and especially
in the care of the flowers around the
home of the sister and this serves to
give him exercise. He also states
that the people of the new republic
are in far better condition financially
than at any time in their history and
that the country is adjusting itself
splendidly to the post-war conditions
and that labor is well employed and
the living cost very lew. For $300
a year a person can live as well there
as the richer class and enjoys many
privileges and liberties denied under
the old regime of Austria. One es
pecially pleasing feature of the letter
is the statement that eight gallons
of the best Pilsner beer can be pur
chased for S1.50 and that it is the
regular stuff that was once sold over
the leading bars in the United States
before the advent of prohibition.

ily lot at Avoca cemetery. Rev. W.
H. Riley, pator of the Weeping Wat
er Congregational church, was the
pastor in charge.
Henry John Philips was born at
Columbia, Mo., on January 21, 1S35.
and departed this life on September
19, 1921. having reached the .mature
age of 8 6 years, 7 months and 29

Some years later they removed
from there to a farm four miles
southeast of the future townsite of
Avoca, where the deceased and his
good wife resided for many years.

and neighbors, who came from miles
around to enjoy the hospitality and
friendly intercourse of this most es
timable family.
Ia 1890 Mr. Philips united with
the Congregational church of which

own. Mr. and Mrs. Philips moved to
Weeping Water, where they resided
until the wife passed to her reward
on July 25, 190S. Father Philips
still retained the home, frequently
making long visits with relatives.
In early August he was stricken
with an illness which left him in
such a weakened condition that,
combined with his extreme age. made
recovery impossible, and the family
were summoned. All came at once,
and were in constant attendance at
his bedside.
In addition to the immediate fam
ily. Walter, the grandson whom he
raised from infancy, came from Ada,
Oklahoma, to be with him in the

FIRST HUNTING PARTY
From Friday's Dally.
One of the first hunting parties of
the season was held yesterday when
four of the leading men of the com
munity hied themselves at an early
hour in the morning to the wooded
recesses along the banks of the Miss
ouri river south of 'the city to at
tempt to shoot up the squirrels that
dwell along that portion of the coun
try. The hunters found that the
heavy foliage of the trees made an
excellent screen for the wary little
animals and it was with difficulty
j that a shot could be secured but the
party succeeded in bagging six of
tho animals before returning home.
! The prospects are that the woods
will be full of the nimrods of this
! section from now on and the squir

one of the most attractive spots in

from their entertainment last spring.
FORT CROOK PAVING
BELIEVED DOOMED
Conditions Set Forth in Appropria
tion Bill Not Complied With
Injunction Pending.
Suits involving the validity of the
standard bread-weight law and the
$75,000 appropriated by the legis
lature for the paving of a road from
Omaha to Fort Crook will be called
for hearing in the district court of
Lancaster county, October 17.
Assistant Attorney General Dort
for the state, will allege that in the
matter of the Fort Crook appropria
tion the conditions set forth in the
appropriation bill have not been com
plied with and that the state audi
tor has received no voucher asking
him to issue a state warrant for the
amount and that he is not threaten
ing to issue a warrant.
At tlie state house it is rumored
that the Fort Crook appropriation
will in all probability never be ex
pended. J. D. Ream and other mem
bers of the non-partisan executive
committee filed the suit to enjoin the
state auditor from issuing a warrant
on the state treasury.
The Jay Burns bakery company, of
Omaha, is the principal opponent cf
the bread weight law.

A real treat for the lovers of band
music is projected in the near future
when the combined bands of Platts

A SPLENDID SHOW
From Thursday's Dally.
"The Great Moment." the story of
Eleanor Glynn, transported from the
book shelf to the screen, makes a
thrilling dramatic picture and a
worthy setting for the beauty and
power of acting of Gloria Swanson.
as the audiences at the Parmele the
atre last evening attest. In the play
occurs an unusual incident as both
the star and the author appear in
the great reception scene and while
not in the cast of characters, Mrs.
Glynn has a part that permits ner
easy recognition by the audience as
she greets the star at the reception.
In the leading man role, Milton Sills
is hia usual peasing personality and
his dignified and powerful type of
dramatic art proved a great support
to the work of Gloria Swanson and
others of the company. The play it
self carries one from the old ances
tral halls of England to the Nevada
deserts and then to Washington, D.
C, and intermingled with the play
are a few touches of .the wild Rus
sian spirit. It is a play well worth
seeing and those who did not see it
last night should avail themselves of
the chance to witness it this evening.
HUNTERS, USE CARE
The season for shooting timber
squirrels opened on the 16th of this
month. Farmers report to this of
fice that in several cases they have
found young squirrels left to starve
in the nert, where the mother squir
rel has been killed by hunters. The
trouble is with the game law. Sep
tember 16th is just about one month
too early for the squirrel season to
open. Old mother squirrels have been
killed with breasts filled with milk,
showing that the baby squirrels must
die of starvation. Humane sports
men will defer shooting these little
animals until they have had time to
rear their young regardless of the
fact that the state game law per
mits them to be killed September
16th.

HALF MUM
FOR PREACHERS
iS PROMISED
METHODIST CONFERENCE AT LIN
COLN HEARS REPORT THAT
TELLS CF PENSION
The Nebraska Methodist confer
ence heard with much satisfaction
at its business session Thursday
morning that the fund for the sup
port of worn out or superannuated
preachers is constantly growing. It
now has endowment funds to be add
ed thru will bequests of over half a
million dollars.
A report of the conference claim
ant's society was made by President
C. C. Wilson. He said that the soci
ety now has a fund of $55 2,300 in
sight, but that at the present time
$236, 943.30 of the total resources
draws interest. Following the read
ing of the reports of the president,
treasurer and recording secretary,
Rev. Titus Lowe, pastor of the First
church of Omaha, presented a check
for $500 to be turned over to the so
ciety. He explained that good Meth
odist woman had willed that sum to
assist in the support of the retired
veterans, and the money had just be
come available. W. D. Cameron cf
Omaha, treasurer reported that he
had a check for $11,479 which was
for interest earned on principal
loaned out during the year.
There are approximately one hun
dred superannuated members of the
Nebraska Methodist conference and
many of them live in University
Place. With the 'annuity provided
for them they are able to live in
fairly comfortable way. The fund is
like a rolling snow ball. It grows
larger all of the time. The conference
claimant's society is only four years
old. J. R. Getty.s of University Place
is the corresponding secretary. The
investment committee is composed of
Rev. - C. C. Wilson of Omaha, chair
man; -Don Morris, president of the
City National bank of Kearney, and
W. D. Cameron of Omaha, president
of the Peters Trust company. The
conference extended a vote of thanks
to the society officers.
While there is little danger of a
division, because of the over whelm
ing sentiment of th econference
against such action, the commission
from the northwest Nebraska body
is here to present two propositions.
One for a union with the bigger con
ference and if this is not feasible
then to consider a proposal to divide
the state, creating a western and an
eastern cenference. This is not con
sidered seriously because the ten
dency is to make the conference
state-wide and swallow up the one
small conference. The union scheme
is therefore in favor. The northwest
conference was created because of
two districts situated in that section
c the state being so far away. There
are between forty and fifty parishes
in the districts.
Superintendents M. E. Gilbert of
the Kearney district and J. G. Schick'
of the Columbus district made their
annual reports to the conference. The j
eports indicated as did the other j
superintendents who have followed
them, that there was increased ac
cessions to the church during the;
past year compared to other years,
and that a much larger Sunday
school attendance was noted. When
Superintendent M. E. Gilbert was
telling about the modern church that
the Methodists of Ogallala have Bish
op McDowell became much interest
ed. He paid he was reminded of the
fact that thirty years ago he was in
strumental in building the first
church in that town, when a mem
ber of his church turned over a
small sum of money to help needy
communities. The bishop then had a
charge in an Ohio town. He recalled
that at that time Bishop Ed. Hughes
president of the conference, was a
student at Ohio Wesleyan. Blanche
Fuller, superintendent of the Omaha
hospital, submitted her annual re
port. She said that 20 per cent of
the cases were given free treatment.
WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENT
The workmen on the paving of
Pearl street from Third to Fourth
and a small portion of Fourth street,
have had their work somewhat re
tarded by rain but in the last few
days have progressed very nicely and
the street-'ds now beginning to as
sume the proportions of a real street.
This will be a great improvement as
in the past this street, and especially,
the south part of Fouth between
Main and Pearl has been a mud hole
after almost every rain and this is
eliminated by the new concrete pav
ing. It is certainly a piece of work
that was badly needed. The paving
j program is now about completed and
' gives the city some fourteen blocks
lof the best kind of highways.

ATHLETIC CLUB HAS
OPENING SESSION
Meets Last Night at High School
"Gym" and Very Pleasing At
tendance is Present.
From Friday's Dally.
Last evening the membws of the
Business Men's athletic club gather
ed at the high school "gym" for the
first session of the fall neason and
the fat and little used muscles of
the members certainly had a rough
shaking up for the season of rtrenu
ousness. Attorney W. G.. Kieck, who has
had more or less experience in the
work of physical culture while an
officer in the army, was selected to
give the "setting up" exercises, and
for fifteen minutes he had the bunch
going some with the various stunts
that were calculated to get the class
in trim for thir games.
Later basket and volley ball, as
well as indoor baseball was enjoyed
by the members of the class and ev
eryone felt fine and dandy when
leaving the gym but this morning
they were decidedly stiff and sore
as the result of the strenuousness of
the workout.
Former Mayor H. A. Schneider
was the only member of the club
who did not fully enjoy the occa
sion as his assortment of boils that
have decorated his neck for some time
prevented his entering into the spirit
of the occasion as he desired.
