This morning in the district court Judge Begley entered a decree of di vorce in the case of Grace McCar die vs. Roy H. McCardie. The charges were desertion and after hearing the evidence the court found for the plaintiff and granted her the decree as well as the custody of the one child, aged one year. and fixed the bond of the receiver at $100,000, which was supplied and this morning the receiver entered on his duties of checking up the affairs of the bank and the assisting or the transfer of the deposits from the bauk to that of the Plattsmouth State. The Bank of Cass County was or ganized in 1883 and among those who were active in its foundation were Dr. John Black, one of the pion eer capitalists of Nebraska. James M. Patterson and Calvin Parmele. The Interests of the bank were large ly held by the Parmele and Patter son families and for a number of years the bank was headed by Chas. C. Parmele.' as president, a' son of one of the founders. Some four years ago R. P. Patterson was named as cashier of the bank, which office had been held by one of this family from the start" of the Institution. The capital stock of the bank was $50,000 with a surplus of $10,000 and deposits of $440,000. The loans and discounts of the bank are placed Rt $525,000. Some six months ago the bank was reorganized with T. H. Pollock as nre?idjnt and G. M. McClerkin of Omaha as vice president, and R. F. Patterson ' as ' cashier. In the closing of the bank fortun ately has caused but little difficulty in the business Mfe of the commun ity and while to be regretted It is fortunate that the affairs were pass ed by so smoothly. The retirement of R. F.

The Plattsmouth State Bank Coates Block, Plattsmouth, Neb. ployes and Railroad Shop Laborers. They apply on all railroads where agreement has not already been re-ached on new rules. ' . Many rules had been agreed on by a majority of roads and in such cases the federal counterparts were re manded to roads not reaching an agreement for further consideration These included rules on seniority, promotion and special service, where local conditions were held to govern. Wage schedules were eliminated as a part of the rules agreement. Removal or the two hours over time penalty was declared by labor board attaches to cut many millions of dollars from the carriers' annual pay rolls. . May Reduce Hours The old national agreement recog nized the 10-hour day In extra or floating gangs of workmen, whose employment is. temporary and sea sonal. Regular Jgangs, however, were paid overtime after eight hours. Under the new rules the number of hours work per day may be re duced by mutual agreement to avoid reducing forces. The roads were for merly compelled to pay eight hours' wages a day for each man employed Regular assignment of Sunday and holiday work no longer draws time and a half pay. When called for less than a day's work, however, employes will be paid three hours straight time for two hours work or less, in stead of time and a half for the two hours and pro rata time thereafter. Extra time worked before the regu lar assignments and traveling in camp cars, under the new rules, get only straight, time for eight hours a day, including Sundays and holi days. Arbitrary Rules Eliminated Straight time will be allowed em ployes' traveling in other than outfit cars, for work hours only, receiving half time for other hours, inctead of full time. Men who Work through meal time will hereafter be paid straight time instead of time and one half, being allowed 20 minutes extra with pay to eat lunches at the first opportunity. All arbitrary rules fixing the be ginning and end of the regular work day are eliminated, these hours to be fixed by agreement between local of ficials and the men. The board has now completed con sideration of rules covering approxi mately 1,000,000 railroad employes. Charactering' the new mainten ance of way rules as mere evasions to eliminate many of the effects of the national agreement, S. M. Fel ton, president of the Chicago Great Western railroad and chairman of the western committee on public re lations of the Association of Railway Executives, a?serted in a statement tonight that the benefit that may or may not ensue from their application is mere guess work until they have been tried out. HOLD PLEASANT GATHERING - The Young Women's Auxiliary ot the Methodist Church were very pleasantly entertained last evening at the home of Miss Florence Bal ser, where they were treated to a very dainty supper served in cafe teria style. The supper had been ar ranged by the committee consisting of Miss Florence Balser, Mrs. Grace Perry, Miss Agnes Young.

An automobile party composed of four young men met With a serious accident last night when their car ran Into the ditch near the B. C. Hyde home in the south portion of the city. In the party were James Howard, Oliver Corby, C. J. Moore and Charles Howard, (and several of the party were feeling very much il luminated by the spirits they had se cured in Omaia while there on a business trip and as they sped over the highway the demand for speed grew greater and greater and the roadway less and less distinguishable to the driver and as they neared the portion of the roadway where the ac cident occurred the members of the party were unable to clearly tell where they were going and instead of keeping on the right side of the road they got over on the left side and drove on over a large concrete culvert, the car crashing to the bot tom of the ditch several feet below. In the accident Charles Howard had his neck dislocated and was in very serious shape until assisted him to the office of Dr. P. J. Flynn where his neck was repair ed and the injured man canveved Misses Mabel Lee Copenhaver and Ruth Jacks of Plattsmouth, who are students at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni versity, are assisting in the drive for a million and a third dollars for their" alma mater.

Ruby was born in Har rison county, Ohio, March 8. 1831. died November 27. 1921. at his home southwest of Carrol, Idaho. Mr. Ruby was married to Amy J. Wood. May 15, 1852. and started passersby west in a one-horse wagon, for Win- terset, lowa. and at that place where the family resided sor some time two chiMren were born, Thomas W. and to the county jail to remain for the -dary L. The family then moved to night. He is still suffering much pain .

James Howard, Corby and Moore were taken in charge by Chief of Po lice Jones and lodged in the city jail where they must languish until their 'fines are paid. This morning Judge Beeson heard the complaints filed by" Chief Jones against the three men and assessed on tbem a fine of $10 and costs, and pending the set tlement of which they must remain in durance vile. DEATH OF OLD RESIDEJ7T years. Tney moved to Smith county, Kansas, inlS94 where Mr. and Mrs. Ruby made their heme with their ron, Thomas, and where Mrs. Ruby passed away. Mr. Ruby made his home in Kansas for seventeen years. When his health began to fail he was taken west to Idaho where he resided with his grandson, Frank Ruby, for the past eleven years, go ing west in 1913. On September 15, 1916, the son, Thomas Ruby, passed away and left only the daughter, Mrs. Mary L. Fletcher of Denver of the family circle. of the quadruple pact. There were several other senators however, who declined to be listed as concurring in a policy of silence. Their reasons were said to have in cluded those assigned by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, a republican "irreconciliable," who issued a state ment today setting forth his opposi tion to the treaty. He denounced it as one which would provoke, rather than avoid hostilities. The crux of the democratic posi tion as advanced by one senator was that it was not known what had gone on behind the clossed doors of the conference sessions and there fore senators were in no position to criticize or command an agreement the basic reasons for which had not been officially disclosed. ' One question said to have been broached informally was whether the real purpose of the treaty was to take a step toward world peace, or wheth er it amounted to "an alliance to in sure world domination of commerce" for the powers concerned. While most democrats indicated their willingness to await a republi can statement . before speaking on the treaty. Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, one of the league of na tion's "irreconciliables," said he ex pected to have something to say af.out the proposition within a few days." Mr. LaFollette declared that the document as it stands binds the The death of Robert Van Fleet, former resident of this city, and nov, living at Ralston, occurred in that city Monday evening according tot word received here by the relatives yesterday.
