ROAD IN DISPUTE
The village cf Manley is. more or
less stirred over the question of
whether or not one of the streets of
that village should ba closed and it
is now the leading topic of discus
rion in the dispute that has arisen
between the village and Harold An
drus. It seems from what can be
learned of the controversy that some
ten years ago the street was fenced
in by C. M. Andrus since deceased
and up to a short time ago it re
mained as the property of Mr. An
drus and was then opened up as a
street. A few days ago the residents
of Jthe village awoke to find the street
closed and a sign placed there to de
tour traffic. This was done by the
order of Harold Andrus, heir of the
Andrus estate, it is stated, and the
matter will probably be given a hear
ing in the district court to determine
the matter of right ownership.

FOR ARMS MEETING
Washington About Ready For Initial
Session Advisory Committee
Meets 3 Days in Advance; .
Washington, Nov. 4. The advis
ory committee of twenty-twe select
ed by President Harding to act with
the American big four at the arma
ment conference will be assembled
in Washington three days in advance
of the conference opening to give its
opinion on, the initial steps of,.po!icy
to be taken , by this government. A
call for a meeting of the conmittco
on next Wednesday, November i,
was issued today by Secretary
Hughes, and at the same time it was
revealed that high officials expect
the committee members to play an
influential part in shaping the gov
ernment's course from the beginning
to, the end -of. .the negotiations.
A "reactionary agency" was the
way the committee was described in
high official circles today to illus
trate the extent to which it will
function in reflecting public opinion
on the problems that come before
the conference. It was indicated that
some questions might be submitteu
directly to it for study before being
considered all by the big four, while
in other cases sub-committees or ad
visers would be asked by the princi
pal delegates to render opinion on
details.
Altho the committe members, un
like the four principals, will have no
diplomatic standing, a special com
mission for each was assigned today
bv President Harding authorizing
them to "advise and assist" in shap
ing nhe American policy. They are,
however, given r.o power of negotia
tion like that- which goes with the
ranks of ambassador conferred by the
president on Secretary Hughes and
the other members of the tig four.
Premier Lloyd George hopes do
mestic affairs will be adjusted so as
to permit him to leave within a fort
night for Washington to attend the
arament conference. Sir Auckland
Gedde3. the British ambassador, to
day informed Secretary Hughes.

STORY OF CHURCH
MISSIONPRESENTED
''The Pageant" Which was Given at
St. Luke's Church Sunday,
Repeated Last Night.
From Saturday's Dally.
The story of the work of the
church mission in St. Luke's parish
was'told again last evening at the
church when the beautiful and im
pressive "Pageant" was once more
presented by the members of the par
ish, representing the various soci
eties of the church.
In the different characters were
found the representatives of the
church, the paish and of the differ
ent woman's societies, who in turn
told of .the work of their organiza
tions in the past and the present
while the church school of the par
ish represented the future.
The work of the pageant was one
that showed much thought on the
part of those taking part and also on
the author of the presentation, Mrs.
J. S. Livingston, as the work of pre
paration has been a very difficult and
involved the most minute study of
the church work for a great many
years past in order to mate it as full
and complete as it was.
So pleasing has been the presenta
tions and such an impressive manner
of giving to the church membership
and the public the facts relative to
the church work, that numerous re
quests have been made for the use of
the story in other parishes of the
church and parishes in New York
have expressed -a desire to present
the pageant in their churches.

NED OPELT, PIONEER
NEBRASKAN, IS DEAD
Helped Found Town of San Francisco
Now Listed as One of the
Missing in Nebraska.
Ned-Opelt, one of the last repre
sentatives of the old time French
Indians who helped to make early
history in southeastern Nebraska, a
member of a family well known in
Lincoln, was buried the other day at
Drown ville. He was 78 years of age.
The Opelt family was related to tin:
Roubidoux family, who founded St.
Joseph, and were engaged in the fur
business and were. traders with the
Indians.
When Nemaha county was first set
tled the family came up the river
with Captain Holland, of St. " Ijitis,
and they founded the town of San
Francisco, whose site was located In
what is now the McCandlass fruit
orchard, between Nemaha and Hills
dale. The Opelts built a brick hot 1
there. The town never flourished and
soon fell into decay, but in plowing
the fields where the place formerly
stood, bricks of the old hotel struc
ture are turned up to this day.
In the 50's the family moved to
IJrownville. They were there when
the civil war broke out and Ned
Opelt was one of the first to enlist in
the Brownville Union Guard com
pany, which was organized- June 8,
1861. Later he became a member of
Co. K of the First Nebraska cavalry
and engaged in the memorable fight
with the Indians at Plum Creek, and
in other border skirmishes with the
Indians. State Journal.
ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION
Over the county the matter of the
petition in regard to the abolishing
of a number of the newer county
offices such as the county agent,
county highway commissioner and
coifnty assessor, seems to be attract
ing a greater or less attention from
the taxpayers and voters. The pro
posal to change the office of county
agent has brought forth probably
more comment than that of any oth
er and the friends of the system now
in vogue as to the spreading of the
agricultural teacnings ana modern
farming methods offer many good
reasons why the office should not be
abolished in answer to tlie petition
The matter it seems, however, is
or:e that the farmer is more vitally
interested in than any other person
and as they have the large part of
the taxes cf the county to pay they
ought to brave the say. in regard to
this office and if they desire an agent
they should be allowed that privi
lege as was the evident Intention of
the legislature when the law was
created.
The petitioners are also after the
highway commissioner but the ques
tion of abolishing this office seems
to be in some doubt by the action of
the county boards. In the event that
the office cannot be abolished the pe
tition asks that it be consolidated
in that of the county surveyor.
The Louisville Courier in their is
sue this week takes the stand that is
representative of the larger part of
the residents of the county, in stat
ing that the farmers should be the
best judge of what they want in the
way of a county agent or otherwise
and it is safe to say that almost ev
eryone in the cities and towns of
the county feel the same way about
the proposition.

FIRE CHIEF BOOSTING
GOOD MOVEMENT HERE
Real Cleanup Being Pushed by Chief
Sandin of the Fire Department
Over Business Section.
Starting yesterday as an observ
ance of the Fire Prevention day pro
gram, the business section of the city
in being given a real thorough over
hauling in the way of the removal
of ashes and other debris from the
rear of the business houses on Main
street.
Chief of the Fire Department San
din. is in charge of the work and
yesterday had a number of wagons
working all day in the task of haul
ing oIT the rubbish and while the job
whh not thoroughly completed the
teams were kept on the go and the
rear of the various business houses
certainly present a much more at
tractive appearance and also doing
away with many of the causes that
might lead to serious fires.
It is hoped that it may be possible
to provide a system whereby all the
ashes and other rubbish that accum
ulate; can be removed each week as
soon as the general cleanup is fin
ished and this will bo one of the ob
jects to which the chief and mem
bers of the fire department are work
ing. With the centralized effort in
this line all of the downtown sec
tion of the city could be kept in the
best of shape and cost divided uni
formally among all of the property
owners.
A great deal cf credit is due to
Chief Sandin for his untiring efforts
in tTie way of fire prevention in the
city and he should have the support
of all of the community in his good
work.
Assistant Fire Marshal Ed Hayduk
of Lincoln was here yesterday and
addressed the schools in the after
noon on fire prevention and as well
inspected the city, praising the work

FOUR STATES ASK
FOR LOWER RATES
Kansas, Arizona, North Dakota and
Nevada Want a Reduction on
Freight Rates for Grain.
Washington. Nov. 4. Four west
ern states, Kansas. Arizona, North
Dakota and Nevada, applied to the
interstate commerce commission to
day for a reduction on intrastate and
Interstate rates on wheat and coarse
grains of approximately 16 per cent.
The application is the first step
taken by states in the western inter
mountain and Pacific territory to
bring the general level of intrastate
rates down the line with the reduc
tion in interstate rates ordered by the
interstate commerce commission on
the same products two weeks ago.
The- general interstate reduction
left intrastate rates higher than the
through rate. Under the commis
sion's interpretation of the various
rate provisions of the transportation
act the commission assumed the
authority over intrastate rates to
the extent of making the last general
rate advance applicable to all rates.
The commission's general decision of
two weeks ago overlooked the state
rates, however, that were raised in
the general advance. The four states
named asked that the commission re
open the grain case and clear the
records to the extent of putting both
intrastate and interstate rates on
the same basis.
It is likely that other states in the
western territory will join in the ac
tion to make it possible to reduce all
state rates to the extent of the re
duction ordered by the commission
on interstate rates.

Hog Cholera
Hog cholera seems to be raging In
many parts of Nebraska. It will con
tinue to do so unless all hogs that
die are burned. The state law says
we must burn all hogs that die from
any contagious disease. Let's all co
operate and keep Cass county free
from hog cholera.
Worms in Chickens
Chickens that droop around and
have pale combs and wattles are like
ly to have worms.
TREATMENT: Shut the flock up
and give them no feed for 36 hours
beginning at night. The second
night that the flock is shut up, put
to soak one gallon of wheat or oats,
preferably wheat, for every 100 birds.
Soak the wheat in 3 quarts of water
In which one tablespoon of concen
trated lye was dissolved. The next
morning feed this to the birds.

We fill up our cup3 as we pass along.
They've decided now we're as good
as the chickens.
Which will your school be this

the time to plan for one hot dish
which will supplement the cold dish
brought from home. The equipment
needed for the hot lunch at school is
very simple and inexpensive. Are
you, as a parent, going to contented

your children eat a cold and often
times partly frozen lunch? The

Owensboro, Ky., Nov. 2. In an
address tonight Senator Harrison of
Mississippi, declared that the demo
