SMALL FIRE OCCURS
Sunday night a small fire occurred
at the premises of George V. Olson
cn north Seventh street, a small fire
caused by some children in their
play starting a fire around a good
sized tree in the yard and which af-
ter smouldering for a few hours burst
Into frames and resulted in the de
struction of the tree and the calling
of the fire truck to the scene of ac
tion shortly after 1 o'clock. There
was nothing doing with the tree that
was well night destroyed before the
department arrived and the only par
ticular danger to the fire was was
that It might catch some outbuild

The relatives residing in this coun

receive the announcement of the
death at her home near Lincoln of
Mrs. Le Nora G. Mayer, a former
resident of this county.
The deceased lady was fifty-five
years of age and a daughter of Jo

the farm near this city that she was
reared to womanhood and in her old
home leaves many warm friend3 who
will greatly regret her passing. She
was married at the farm home near

shortly after marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Mayer removed to Lancaster coun

DISTURBANCE AT
GREENWOOD MONDAY
Combination of Hootch and Gunplay
rAa croi Dorf; .
ting Mixed in Affair. I
From Tuesday' ratly.
The spirit of Christmas that pre
vailed in Greenwood yesterday seems
to have been of the alcoholic variety
Judging from the reports that have
reached this city and which will
later prohably lead to a number of
residents of that thriving city and
vicinity passing a call on the temple
of justice.
It would seem from the accounts
received here that the merry music
of the Christmas bells ringing out
"Peace on Earth. Good Will Toward
men." fell on ears deafened to the
me-'sage of the day, and the parties
filled to the brim with the sparkling
juice of the corn, proceeded to cre
ate more or less excitement in our
neighboring town.
As is usunl when a large quantity
of the "corn" is present there was
zzx argument started among several
parties and in the midst of the chew
ing match appeared the artillery, and
this 13 the cause of the parties being
given notice that they would have
to answer to the fracture of the laws
of the state that not only forbid
drunkenness but gun toting as well.
ENTERTAINED THE HELP
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wagner had as
their especial guest3 at dinner yes
terday the employes of this popular
hostelry, who were provided with all
the delicacies which they have been
accustomed to serving only at ban
ouets pnd festive occasions. Follow
ing the regular noon-day meal, the
Waerer dining room was turned
over to the guests and they were
seated around one of the long tables
to partake of the fine repast that had
been prepared for them.
The hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
Wagner is greatly appreciated by
thoe in their employe, who are ever
ready to do an extra turn for the
management or guests towards help
ing to maintain the hieh class ser
vice of which the hostelry boasts.
VERY FINE PICTURE
The World-Herald of Sunday-contained
a very fine half-tone portrait
of Miss Octa Leonard French, of
Minneapolis, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Guy French, formerly of Om
aha. Miss French was recently grad
uated from the Minneapolis high

HAVELOGK SHOPS TO
GO OH 40-HOUR WEEK
Burlington Xakes Announcement of
Change in Working Schedule
to 40-Eour Week.
" The Burlington shops at Havelock
are to be operated on a 40-hour week
after the first of the year Instead of
the present 4S-hour schedule, accord
ing to the statements given out by
Thomas Roop, superintendent of the
motive power department. The
change is made in order to preclude
the customary winter slash in forces
as has been the custom in the years
past and the slight reduction in
working hours will give the employes
all an opportunity of remaining at
work. J
At the shops in tthis city there was
nathing, as yet, to be given out by
Superintendent Baird relatives to a
cut in the working hours here but in
all probability such a course will be
followed by the officials as that at
Havelock although nothing definite
was announced to this effect. j
It is expected that when the spring i
revival of business arrives the shops !
of the Burlington system will re
sume their former working schedule.

From W't-diietiilay f !aiiv.
Yesterday btir.g tho anniversary of
one of the most impre:--ive eents in
the history of The Masonic fratern
ity the members of I'lattsmoutk
lodge No. C. A. F. & A. 2.1. gathered
at their lodge rooms to observe in
iittir.g manner the festival of St.
John, the Evangelist. The occasion
had been made one in which the fam
ilies of the mtmbers of the order
were invited to participate and en
joy the fleeting hours socially and in
the unusually interesting program
that had been arranged by the com
mittee in charge of the event.
The decoration committee however
is deserving of more than usual coin
raendatien for their efforts in pre
paring the scene of the pleasant
gathering of Masons and their fami
lies. The parlors of the temple were
made most attractive with stream
ers of holly and the brightness of
the green and red of the Christmas
decoration also found expression in
the drap--rics that were festooned
around the lights of the rooms. The
vindows were beautified with cur
tains of snowy white and caught
with red which made a pleasing
touch to the scene. In the lodge
room where the program was held
there were great fetoons of the
j-re-.-n riTlc! r?d streamers and the cen
jer light of the room shaded with
:?d, -which c?.st over the srer.e a

by its use fully expressed the senti
ment o-f the holidays. In the dining
room the decorative features were
rf a lighter type and artistic in the
extreme as the streamers were used
'.n profusion and the lights softly
-haded, while on each of the small
ables blue and white candles had
been placed, the colors of the order..
&nd which added a pleasing touch
to the scene. I

Judge James T. Begley, worship
ful master of Plattsmouth lodge No.
i was introduced by E. H. Wescott
and proceeded to tender to the visi
tors and the families of the Masons
a hearty welcome to the gathering.
In his short and very interesting
talk the master of the lodge pointed
out the great antiquity of the teach
ings on which the Masonic fratern
ity, had its foundation and which
had endured through the ages from J
the earliest time and touched upon :
the great pyramids of Egypt be
neath whose shadow Abraham rest
ed in the dawn of the early history
of the life of the Jewish race. The
teaching of the spirit of brotherly
love found its expression in the work
of the order of the Masons and the
have pre&ent those who. while not
retively engaged in the work of Ma
Ecnry. were responsive to its ideals
and aspirations. Judge Begley assur
red the audience that they were most
welcome in the portals of the lodge
and that it was an inspiring event
for the order to have them present.
The quartet composed of R. W.
Xnc-rr. Don C. York. Frank A. Cloidt
and Rev. H. G. McClusky, who have
often favored Plattsmouth audi
ences, were present and gave two
numbers that in their beauty and
splendid rendition were much enjoy
ed, "Holy Night" and "Jaunita."
were the numbers given and it was
with regret that the members of the
party saw the close of this feature
of the program.
Attorney C. A. Rawls, whose know
ledge of theological and sacred his
tory is most profound, gave an In
teresting talk, on "Why St. John's
Night" and took up the beginning
of the observance in the world of two
great periods of the changes in the
vast domain of nature when the sum
mer and winter seasons had reached
their heights. In the pagan days the
festivals were featured by the sun
worship of the Druids of England
f.s well as the Greeks and Romans
in dediratioas to their gods. The
Jews followed with their sacrifices
and offering to their one and only
God and with the coming of Christ
there bad been the change in the
-?tMr of tb observances in the or
der of the Freemasons and the two
festivals of St. John, the Baptist, as

and dedication of the lodges of the

parallel of the two patrons of the

of St. John, the beloved minister t
the living Christ, wh03e teachingsf
