The cause of VERY CLEVER ENTERTAINMENT Each Class Has Special Stunt that Pleases and Entertains Crowd of 175 Persons Present. Last evening the four classes of, the Plattsmouth high school held a : most delightful Hallowe'en party aj I the high school building and which was attended by 175 of the young; people as well as the faculty oi tne school and various stunts given were more than pleasing to every one of the members of the party. The high school gym was very pret tily arranged with the orange and black of the Hallowe'en season as well as the blue and white of the Plattsmouth high school, the fes toons being draped over the lights and bleachers and here a portion of the social festivities were held. Each class had been required to furnish some special stunt and thes were given on the stage in the au ditorium of the school and were no vel and entertaining. The freshmen put on a miniature vaudeville show with four big acts, well advertised and carried out in fine shape. The first act was that of the "strong man" and in this role Frank God win won much applause by his great feats cf lifting and was assisted in the act by Russell Hackenberg. The trained animal act also was much enjoyed and was in charge of Rus sell Hackenberg with Carl Ore. Guy Graves. Willis Hackenbsrg and Ray Lambert furnishing a part of the fun. In the boxing match Clyde Graves appeared as the freshmen champion while Frank Godwin rep resented the senior boxers and the result wrs that the senior took the court in the third round. The last of the freshmen acts was the foot tall song by t!-e girls who were cos tumed in white with blue sweaters and I. IT. S. emblem? and wearing blue head guards and made a pleas ing finale to the act. The scpiiomores for their part of the program furnished a song in pantomin?, with Blanche Braun ap pearing as the star and assisted by Ptewart Chase in the role of the lover while Kenneth Vandervoth ?nd Carroll Craig as Satan assisted. Mary Hallas and Caroline Schulhof were the ponies of the act and haul ed the tiny wagon over the stage in a spirited manner while a large chorus of the girls assisted in the pantcmine. The juniors performed the very difficult task of operating on the head of a supposed member of the senior clas and Roy Olson was the willowy and distinguished M. D. that did the heavy work while Glen Hen ry and Charles Hartford assisted and the report of the operation was that there -was a vaccum found in the dome of the supposed senior. In the part assigned by the sen ior class one of the most clever stunts of the evening was produced ir. the dialogue between Allison Fiynn and Will Matchalott and the two young men kept the audience in the best of humor. The two young men put on several musical numbers that rivaled the work of some of the masters of the musical world but it was found that the Edison conceal ed back of the scenes furnished the chief part of the music. In the last portion of the evening the unfortunate freshmen were led to the gym where they were given a real initation into the high school and at the conclusion of the cere mony were presented with certifi cates that entitlad them to keep on attending the high school.

Chicago, III.. Oct. 2S. The offic ial recall of the rail strike orders issued by the switchmen, trainmen, conductors, engineers and firemen were dispatched today when leaders of the "b:g five" flashed code mes sages from Cleveland headquarters to their general chairmen. The chairmen will' submit the messages to the locals, and the official order recalling the strike will thus per meate the country in a few hours. Railroad brotherhood chiefs said that their resolution, adopted last night calling off the strike, empha sized two points as evidence of a victory for the men. These points were: First, that action of the railroad labor board on further wage cuts that the railroads may ask will re reive consideration after pending questions before the board are clear ed, thereby deferring immediate ac tion on further reductions and pos sibly postponing the question of a new wage revision for nearly a year. Second, that action on the rules which the men's organizations wish to maintain will likewise take its place on the regular calendar of the board, so that it will not likely be come an immediate issue. Government's Injunction Plan Plans to avert the railroad strike, which was scheduled to begin Octo ber 30 but called off last night, had been made by the government while the strike still apeared a certainty, District Attorney Clyne made known today. Application for injunctions, re straining the brotherhood chiefs frem carrying out the strike, with orders necessary to conduct these proceedings, were in the hand3 of district attorney throughout, the country ready to be presented in fed eral courts. , The applications were drafted by Attorney General Daugherty at a conference with five districts attor neys earlier in the week, and fol lowed closely those drawn by Attor ney General Richard Olney in 1S94 for the injunction issued in July of that year, restraining Eugene V. Debs and other officers of the Amer ican Railway union from interfer ing with transportation of the Unit ed States mail, Mr. Clyne said. The government program includ ed two actions to prevent a tie-up in transportation and a third looking to the punishment of strike leaders thru indictments for conspiracy against the public. These were to be presented tr the court twenty-four hours before the time the strike was scheduled to begin. Board is Congratulated Smiles of relief wreathed the faces of members of the United States rail road labor board when they met to day to clean up the many details of the cancelled railroad strike.

TbrI t 4 On Tuesday, October 25, at the Parmele the New Edison proved that there is no difference between its RE-CREATION of music and the original music. It was proof that would be good in any court of law. If you did not attend, take the trouble to find out exactly what happened. Investigate all the details of this drastic test. It was given particularly for the music lovers of Plattsmouth so that they might know, thru their own personal experience, that there is a phono graph which can give them the exact performance of the living artist. ' i Harvey Hindermyer, famous tenor, made the test. He stood on the platform, beside the New Edison. He 1.1 !. 1 . 1 ' sang, m tne miast or nis song, ne stopped singing. The New Edison took up the song, and continued it alone. Thus, they alternated singer and phonograph- The audience had to watch Mr. Hindermyer's lips, in order to be certain which was singing. The New Edison's triumph was complete and spectacular. A' similar test was made by the Dann instrumen-' tal trio, with the same astonishing results. Remember that no other phonograph can sustain this test! Remember that you want a phonograph which does! And remember that the New Edison did it riqht here in Plattsmouth.
