However, he is continuing the work with much vigor and consecration, and is being able assisted by the pastor, Rev. A. Miller. While the interest is mani fest the meetings will continue and it is hoped that much good will re sult from the effort. Is Sure a Hustler A. R. Dowler, the garage man, and who also does trucking, is a hustler.

Early in the morning he took a load for Uncle George Hathaway, getting back in time to start with the second load by nint o'clock and then inthe af ternoon took a load down for J. W. Pitman. This is only an incident in the days' work for when completed he is back again at his garage serv ing the people and working in the shop.

This is for the purpose of securing by observa tion the exact knowledge of the plan of operation of these plants, and as a matter of fact, it is giving prac tical illustrations of the things which they are learning in the schools. These occasional visits to some in dustry is a things which adds much to the learning of the students, which is practical, and along with the knowledge which they get In schools, adds much to the real education of the students. The people of Union are very loyal in the matter of fur nishing cars to convey these ninety students to Omaha, the board of education bearing the real outlay for gas and oil as well as the bridge toll. Markets Ruling Very Low On account of the lowness of the grain market some of the receiving house who are getting but a few number of cars on account of the lack of offerings from the farmers, have given their men a shortvaca tion until the prices shall have pick ed up some. Mr. Mont Robb, who is representing the Hynes Grain com- . -1 i .. jidii) ui yjiiia.ua, is nuuie iui x lew i days on account of the slackness of business In the grain line.

AT THE NEWELL HOME State Regent Mrs. Charles S. Spenc er Gives Talk to Members of Fontenelle Chapter. i tfrcm Tuesday's Dally. The members of Fontenelle chap-; ter, Daughters of the American Revolution, were very pleasantly en tertained last evening at the home of Miss Bernese Newell on North Fifth street. The evening was marked by the presence of Mrs. Charles R. Spencer, state regent of the D. A. R.,; and who has made her first visit to' the Plattsmouth chapter. j The first part of the evening was devoted to the opening exercises of the chapter and followed by the re-, view of the D. A.

Mrs. L. O. Minor, leader f the evening, gave a short account of some of the early explorations and discoveries on the North American continent.

Mrs. Anna May Wooley was pres ent at the meeting and exhibited an enlarged portrait of Mrs. Alvira M. Tewksberry, the only original daugh ter of the American revolution resid ing in Cass county, and whose death occurred a few months since. This handsome picture was enlarged at the factory of the Eastman Kodak company through the efforts of the local representatives, Messrs. Wey rich & Hadraba and is a real piece of art work in every way. It will be turned over later to the state society to hang among the historic pictures of the state. The members of the local chapter have been divided into four groups, who will endeavor to secure through entertainments, the funds for the purchase of a memorial tablet for the heroes of the late world war who were killed while in service.

BIG TYPE POLAND CHINA HOG SALE NEXT SATURDAY Fiank Anderson, Well Known Pacific Junction Breeder Offering 44 Head of Boars and Gilts Fellow Breeders and Farmers: I have always tried to be a con structive breeder of hogs. I have spared neither pains or expense to bring my herd up to the very highest standard of efficiency. I believe I have succeeded fairly well. This offering I am selling Satur day, October 15th, will be as good as ever went through a sale ring in the corn belt. They are the real utility hogs the easy feeding, quick ma turing kind, but will keep on going until they get as big as cattle if you want them to. A man said to me last winter that he did not like the Big Types; that they get too big and did not bring so much in the market. He said he had Just sold a car load of mungral hogs and that they weigh ed 205 pounds and brought the high est price for that day. I asked him how old they were and he said ten to eleven months. Now, I would like to know why he fed that car of hogs five months for nothing. If they had been Big Types, they would have been twice that size and on a lot less feed, at that. Now, listen: The 1st of August I cut 20 head out of this bunch I am selling. They were mostly barrows that I had used the knife on and were February and March pigs. They weighed 165 pounds in South Omaha and brought the highest price for that day. Yet, they had no extra fattening feed. Simply ran with the rest of the herd. Now friends, don't you think it would be good business to come to this sale and get you some good seed stock? They are going to sell cheap so cheap you cannot afford to let the opportunity pass. I have had some good patronage in the past from the Cass county boys and I wish to thank them for the same. Would like to see them all with a lot of new ones at this sale, whether you care to buy or not. Come over, one and all, see the hogs and have dinner with me again. You will be made welcome. Everything vaccinated. FRANK ANDERSON. Pacific Junction, la.

The report very fortunately proved unfounded as far as the death of Mr McCoy was con cerned altho he is still quite' sick and confined to his home, but the many , friends here will be pleased to learn that it is not as serious a first reported. Office supplies of all kinds han died at the Journal office. Your Sew Ford is Herel I have just received a carload of new Ford cars, including touring and roadster models, which are now ready for delivery at the new low prices. We are fully equipped to take care of your re pair business. Prices reasonable. AUGUST The Automobile Man WEEPING WATER -:- -:- -:- JOSEPH SGHLATER PASSES SOTH YEAR A Pioneer of Cass County Where he His Resided Since 1858, and - Now Hale and Hearty In the month of October, 1831, Joseph Schlater saw the light of day in his home in the old world, be ing born in Germany, and while a child of tender years, with hi3 brother Conrad, was left an orphan by the death of the parents. The two children were cared for by an un cle during their nearly years and when eighteen years of age both the brothers decided to come to Ameri ca and accordingly in 1849 they jailed for the land of promise in the new world, arriving at New Orleans on May 15, 18 49, after a voyage of two months on the Atlantic. After reaching the port of entry the two brothers embarked on a steamboat and made their way to Cincinatti, Ohio, then one of the main cities of the river section and it was there they decided to locate. Joseph en tered an apprenticeship as a watch repairer, having learned the trade of jeweler in his home in Germany, while the elder brother, Conrad, lo cated at Richmond, Indiana, where he made his home for a number of years. In the year 1858 Joseph Schlater decided to seek his fortune in the state farther west and accord ingly came to Plattsmouth, Nebras ka, traveling by the usual steamboat route of the pioneer days. On locat ing in this city he established him self in the watch repairing busi ness in the building now owned by Charles Martin and occupied by his law offices. Mr. Schlater sold the eastern portion of his lots to a Mr. Matthews, who erected a frame building and was for year engaged in the hardware business, the site of the store being where the Donat building now stands. After a num ber of years here Mr. Schlater re moved to Hayes county, owning . a farm there and established himself at Hayes Center, where he followed up his trade and rented his farm. In the meantime the brother, Con rad Schlater came west in 1S59 and located near Louisville and some ten years ago Joseph Schlater returned there and resided in that city until two years ago when he came to Plattsmouth and has made his home with his nephew, Frank E. Schlater and family. He has a wonderful memory for his years and is still able to be up and around and enjoy the affairs of the world as, in the days gone by de spite the fact that he has almost touched the century mark. He is truly a pioneer of the west and his old time friends will be ready to con gratulate hime on attaining the ninetieth birthday. Card of Thanks.
