SERVICE CLASS MEETS From Thursday's Xally. The Service class of the Christian church met at the home of Mrs. Ed Ofe Tuesday afternoon and had a 'very pleasant meeting.

The ladies were treated to refresh- ments at a sujtabi hour which brot a hne afternoon to a close.

Sandin, chi&f of the de- partment; Frank M.

I Not only in the increased member , ship has ihe department improved. hut the addition or a nne chemical cnglnejias made the department more modern and up-to-date and these two facts will have a tendency to secure for the citizens a reduced rate on their insurance as the fire fighting facilities have a great deal to do with the standing that the adjusters give the city in making out their ratings.

The residents of the vicinity of Lincoln avenue and Granite street were rather startled last night when a loud crash was heard and they hur ried from their homes to find a Ford touring car badly demolished at the intersection near the Atlantic house. It seems that the car. which was owned by parties residing at Friend, Nebraska, had been driven up the hill and when partially up the hill side there had been some trouble that necessitated the occupants of the car eetting out to make a few hurried rePairs and as they were P?1 ' the car the brfkes faiJed to olln, a car started on down the hill and . , . gathering quite a good rate of speed hit the bottom with more or less force and as tne result the two rear Wheels were broken, the top torn off macnine inorougniy uaiiereu up u the effects of the runaway.

COMIHGTOFRONTiiS! This Sport Will Be Enjoyed for the w.it . ,w .1.. c Opens Next Week. The high school basketball season will soon be ready to launch itself and permit the lovers of this form of sport to enjoy a number of very interesting games during the winter season. The workout of the candidates for the team has shown some splendid results and a number of very fast players have been developed in' the school in the short time that they Jiave been working out. The last year's team was largely seniors. Sat tler. McCarthy, Schneider. Brubach er and other of the fast players re tiring at the close of the school year, and therefore it became necessary to develop a new line up and the re sult has been that a team of excep tional fastness has been whipped in to shape for the season. The team this season vill not be as heavy as thatvof last year but the players arc fast on the floar and should prove a hard proposition for nny of their opponents to defeat. Howard and Harry Dwyer. Stewart Chase. Frank Gradoville and Charles Ilaitford are among the promi&rhg material that the ; athletic depart ment of the schol will pla"e on the floor this year and their reserve force numbers excellent material so that the school will be -able 'to make a good record this sjH?nn. - WEATHER THAT CAN'T BE BEAT California Certainly Has Nothing on Nebraska -This Fall Maybe We'll Pay Latex On. California far famed as the land of sunshine and temperate weather bids fair to lose its reputation to Ne braska. In fact the stakes are up and unless the weather man shifts the scenery all that our fair common wealth will need is a goo press agent to put it in the class of her western rival, where they grow two crops a year summer tourists and winter tourists. Nebraska has yet to experience its first real freeze of the year, and to date no snow has fallen Such a fall as this is truly uncommon. HOLD FUNESAL SERVICES From Prldav'n DaHy.

Frorn Fridays pniiv ; ,.. - . ' The most interesting hour spent in manv avs WIiS when business culled the writer to our neighboring village of Louisville and incidentally we came into Konian raicr s garage, the np;ier story of which is occu pied as training quarters for our "Sailor Boy" Andy Schmader.

The ring was regulation size can vas covered, roped and good light. A regular gong and a very cordial yourg man with watch in hand wa;l e.l the approach of C o'clock. Andy was busily engaged in his dressing room and wore a suit of wool tights, and regulation shoes, ready for ac tion. The equipment is very handily and artistically arranged. Hot water was prepared for a bath at the con clusion of the workout. A shower bath is at his hand any everything t'r.at makes it a convenience for an athlete is there.

The writer was amazed at the fciocity of the punches delivered, especially with the broken right fore arm. Time and again the punches v ere repeated without the least signs o" a riineh or weakness. Then the gong sounded and after! one minute of rest the big fellow railed into the dummy for another three minutes while another oblieing young iian was getting in shape for a round or two witu tne sauor. This was very tame as Andy was careful net to hurt his light oppon ent, but occasionally when a punch would put the gritty little fellow part way to dreamland. Andy would hold him up and help him to come back. The next was a real working out with the medicine ball, a regulation basket ball filled with corn and weighing about 25 pounds. Andy would work against two young hus kies, one at each opposite corners ot the ring from Andy. This ball is alternated between Andy and his two; chine.

Andy did not appear worn out in the least and informed the writer that after a week of this ten round training schedule he will gradually go up to 20 rounds of it. Schmader has very little excess weight despite his enforced vacation from the boxing game, indicating he has not 'neglected to keep himself "fit to fight" and has taken consider able physical exercise of all kinds. His road work period is in the fore noon of each day and will be grad ually increased. He will be in trim tp meet the Indian and give a good account of himself December 17th and every fan should be present to show their appreciation of the clean, manly sportsmanship which Andy displays, both as a ring fighter and a citizen. Here's for a "Cass county section" at the Auditorium in Omaha, December 17th, when he meets the Walt Hill Indian for a 10 round go, with the best preliminary bill ever shown in Omaha.

Sometime durinsr the late hours ot last night or early this morning the Cilice of the Cloidt Lumber Co.. situ ated on the alleyway on South Foiirtn street, just south cf the store of Wil liam Holly, was entered by burglars j n i pnnc'il-fll i t 1 h u .11 I 1 T" t '.

They then proceeded to giv the building a thorough overhauling in the search for valuables but aa far as could be ascertained there was nothing of value secured. The large safe that Etood in the northwest corner of the office had been attacked by the night-time visi tors and the combination knocked off the afe in an endeavor to open f it u nvi till. I urru . c - i i i awav as there was no sign of them i ' .. to be round this morning on tne premises. The removal of the com bination dial from the tafe made it impossible for the owners to open it up to find if there was anything of value taken from it and it will be necessary to have an expert come and open the !afe before it can bo possible to find out if anything is missing, but from the general ap pearance of things the visitors wore" unable to get the safe open. The drawers in the desk were all pulled out and ransacked through but there was nothing in these Ihat was of any value aside from bu?i- ness letters and documents. Whoever committed the burglary were very careful about removing all their instruments or tools used an there was nothing found in the office or near the scene of the burglary that might indicate what had been ued to force the combination off the safe. The burglary was discovered th! iaaratsg whep. John Cloidt arrived to open up the office for. business and be at once notified Sheriff Qulaton who visited the scene and looked over the damage done by the unwel come callers, but no clue as to the identity of the parties committing the act found. This afternoon the sife was forced open by the use of drills and the con tents of the safe found intact and the burglars seem to have had their work for nothing. The damage to the safe, however, will necessitate a new safe in the lumber company of fice.
