OITY HAS EX
PERIENCE WITH
. DOPE SEEKERS
Store of F. G. Fricke & Co., Visited
By Party or Parties Seeking
Dope That They Craved.
: There is evidently someone in the
city who feels the necessity of hav
ing a shot of their favorite dope as
indicated by the breaking into of the
store of F. G. Fricke & Co., on Sixth
street on Monday night. The drug
store was entered by forcing a rear
window of the building and thereby
gaining, entrance to the main store
room.
That the party was seeking some
dope was evidenced by the fact that
there was a small amount of mor
phine missing from the accustomed
place where it was kept and this with
a few cents taken from the cash reg
ister was all that was found to be
missing from the store.
. The matter has been in the hands
of special agents from Omaha since
the time of the robbery and it is
hoped that it will be possible to lo
cate the parties who have been in
such sore straits to secure some of
the dope to ease their wrecked
nerves.
Several parties, have been making
the rounds of the medical men of the
city seeking to secure dope for their
use .and being unsuccessful have
doubtless been driven to the more
desperate expedient of getting their
supplies through burglary.

DEATH OF MRS,
A. C.CAREY AT
MYNARD HOME
HAS BEEN A RESIDENT OF CASS
COUNTY SINCE CHILDHOOD
t. WELL KNOWN LADY
HAS BEEN POORLY FOR YEARS
Deceased Was a Daughter of Sam
Barker, Pioneer of County and
, Known Over the State.
From. Wednesday's Dally.
After an illness covering1 the past
two years, Mrs. A. C. Carey, Sr., pass
ed away last evening at the home
west of Mynard where the family has
been residing for the past few years,
While the death was not unexpected
as the deceased iady has been in fail
ing health for years due to heart
trouble, it has come as a severe blow
to the husband and children as well
as other members of the family and
the host of old friends who have
known and loved the departed lady
during her life long residence in this
county. .
Laurina Anna Barker was born at
the Barker homestead in Eight Mile
Grove April 22, 1864, and was the
daughter of Mr., and Mrs. Samuel
Barker, pioneer residents of this por
tion of the state and the father was
for many years one of the best known
farmers and stock raisers in this part
of the state and aided to a great exT
tent In the development of this sec
tion of Nebraska. It was amid the
scenes of the old home that the de
parted was reared to womanhood,
learning the. lessons of usefulness in
the care of the household and assist
ing the parents in the home until
her marriage on March 10, 1881, to
A. C. Carey. . Since their marriage
MK and Mrs. Carey have been en
gaged in farming in the vicinity of
this city and reared a family of six
children, two having preceded the
mother in deatn. Those who are sur
viving are Samuel, of Mynard; Will
Carey, residing in Eight Mile Grove;
Seigel, of Hastings; Mrs. Pearl Zim
merman, of Mynard; A. C. Carey, Jr.,
of Plattsmouth, and Teddy.' who' re
sided with the parents at home. She
also leaves to mourn her dath nine
brothers and sisters. namely:r Steve
Barker of. near Mynard. Mr. 8 Martha
Wetenkamp, ; Mrs. Nettle ' Meisinger
Mrs. Emma 'Shaw of Plattsmouth,
Mrs. Anthony Howard of Ravenna,
Harvey4 and Horatio of Atlanta, Ne
braska, Will Barker of NewIlaynor,
Colorado, and Edgar Barker ot Ok
lahoma. -v. ' ; : ' -' '
During7 the' long months of sick
ness when the spark of life burned
tow, the husband and children min
istered with tender care to the wife
and mother hoping that- perhaps In
the goodness of the all wise Father
that the' life of their beloved one
might be prolonged and she restored
to health but the frail spirit grad
ually grew .weaker until the closing
of the pages of the book of life
brought peace and rest to tier and
Bhe sank -into the-sleep that' knows
no awakening on this earth.'
The funeral of Mrs. Carey will be
tield Sunday. afternoon at 1 o'clock.
The" funeral party will go from 'the
nome to me cigni ame virove cnurcn

DEATH CALLS NOBLE WOMAN
Last Tuesday just after the noon
hour the angel of death summoned
Mrs. C. A. Trent, of Murray, who
was a patient at the Lord Lister
hospital at Omaha where she had
gone the evening before and had un
dergone an operation for the removal
of gall stones. Mrs. Trent had not
rallied after the operation and all
were realizing the gravity of her
condition. All was done that could
be for her but of no avail. Death
came during the unconsciousness of
the operation, though hours after
ward. Mrs. . Trent realized the ser
iousness of her malady and her con
dition and before she would go to
the hospital had her will executed,
fully believing she would not be able
to survive the ordeal. Her mother,
Mrs. John Connelly passed away
years ago under the same circum
stances. Mrs. Trent leaves the sor
rowing husband and two children,
one John Brisbane, who with his
wife, live near Scottsbluffs, a son of
a former marriage, and little" Doro
thy, age about three years. The re
mains were brought to Murray on
the midnight train Tuesday evening
to await burial.
WILL BROADCAST
CONCERTS FRIDAY
EVENING, MAY 19
C. 6. Conn Company to Stage a Big
Musical Festival Send from
Eleven Big Stations.
Radio concerts will be broadcasted
from eleven stations covering every
district in the United States on Fri
day evening of this week, under the
auspices of C. G. Conn, Ltd., band
instrument manufacturers, of Elk
hart, Indiana. This is the third ser
ies of national radio concerts to be
given, by this company.
As in the previous concerts sev
eral of America's most famous dance
orchestras and many renowned solo
ists will give the programs, c. G
Conn, Ltd., ' is able to enlist the co
operation of these famous artists in
view of 'the fact that they use Conn
instruments and are therefore willing
to Join with the manufacturer in
these concerts." The programs will
consist of. the latest popular music
and are so arranged that folks may
dance one number and listen to a
solo the next.
The programs will be broadcasted
from New York;. Chicago, San Fran
cisco, Denver, Seattle, Portland, New-
Orleans, Pittsburg, - Boston. Detroit
and Kansas City. All of 'these sta
tions operate on the 360 meter wave
length: -''" " '

in receiving the Kansas City concert.
unless static is unusually bad, but
It is doubtful If very satisfactory rc-
erful Pittsburg sending station that
has'been heard 3,000 miles away, at
this season of the year, when enlarg
ing the range also enlarges the field
of static. "
As for Chicago, the middle west
radio fans report greater difficulty in
receiving from that station than in
picking up Pitsburg or even Newark,
N. J., several hundred miles further
east. Both these latter stations push
the waves out with high powered
tubes that insure their carrying a
great distance and were it not for
the extra static encountered in the
larger field, any good two stage am
plifying set should have-no difficulty
in attaining satisfactory reception
from these more distant points.
At the time of the last Conn con
cert there wasn't a single amplifying
set ' completed ' in Plattsmouth, al
though several were' in process of
construction. Now there are a good
number of home constructed sets of
this type, in addition to several com
mercial sets that have been purchas
ed by local parties who have been
hit by the radio bug. ,
Among the famous orchestras and
artists who will take part are: Carl
Eduarde and the Strand Theatre or
chestra, Eddie Elkins and his or
chestra; John Dolan, cornetist; Ralp3
Corey, trombonist, all in New York;
Paul Biese's Arcadia orchestra direct

INTEREST IN ENLIST
ED RESERVE CORPS
Those Who Have Had Previous En
listments Eligible for Enlist
Ment with Examination.
Omaha, May 15. The chief of
staff of the eighty-ninth division an
nounced today that widespread in
terest is being manifested thruout
the division area (South Dakota, Ne
braska and Kansas) in the Enlisted
Reserve Corps. Inquiries in regard to
enlistments are being received in
larire numbers from former service
men, all of whom signify a desire to
identify themselves with this compo
nent of the armed forces of the coun
try.
The points about which the great
est number of inquiries are received
are, eligibility for enlistment, and at
tendance at camp during the train
ing period. Any man who served in
the army or marine corps for at least
four months between April 6, 1917,
and November 11, 1718, is eligible to
be enlisted In the highest grade hon
orably held by him during that time,
physical examination,' only, being
necessary.
In refering to the attendance at
training camps, Col. Hopkins, chief
of staff, was emphatic in his state
ment that it was his policy to excuse
from such attendance any man upon
whom this absence from home and
business would work an undue hard
ship. Continuing. Col Hopkins said:
"It is realized that we are located
In the heart of & great agricultural
district and that the period of sum
mer training will conflict somewhat
with the harvest season. It is not and
will not be our purpose to interfere
with the civil pursuits of members
of the reserve corps, war depart
ment regulations provide for just
such contingencies by directing us to
give due consideration to the occu
nations and other civil duties and
responsibilities of reserve officers and
enlisted men.
"Reservists are not required to at
tend weekly or monthly drills, nor
are they subject to call for active
duty In case of strikes, riots, etc,
The reserve forces constitute what
the name implies a reserve force to
be called to the defense of the coun
try in case of a national emergency
Where citizens of military age have
the time, and desire more active du
ty in time of peace, it is contemplat
ed that they will serve either in the
national guard or regular army. It is
hoped that World war veterans, who
have not the. time for service in the
national guard, and who do not de
sire to enlist In the regular army.
will identify themselves with the or
ganized reservesi Any inquiries ad
dressed to us at the Army building,
Omaha, will, receive prompt atten
tion."
BIG CROWDS AT
CARNIVAL GROUNDS
. LAST EVENING
Second Night Sees Increasing Inter-
& b
est Shown at American Legion
Carnival Grounds.
The carnival last evening saw a
much larger attendance than the
previous evening at the Washington
avenue park where the Dominion
Exposition shows are now showing
under the auspices of the American
Legion,
From the opening of the shows at
7 o'clock the crowds began their
steady procession toward the park
and by 8 o'clock" the grounds were
filled and every one of the shows
and the various concessions doing a
very pleasing business.
One of the features last night was
the athletic show that held interest
for those who enjoy the manly art
of boxing and two negroes partici
pated in an eight-round bout. Ow
ing to the fact that the interest in
the show did not warrant the expen
diture necessary to keep the show
going, the management has decided J
to close this feature of the carnival.

PEALS FOR AID FOR :
FLOOD VICTIMS
President Harding Joins Chairman
John Barton Payne in Urging
Public to Lend a Hand
The chairman of the Red Cross
chapter of this county has Just re
ceived an urgent appeal from Chair
man John Barton Payne of the Amer
ican Red Cross supplemented by a
special letter from President Harding
for a half million dollars to assist the
destitute men, women and children
stricken by the floods in the Mis
sissippi valley. . .
31,000 homeless are being fed by
the Red Cross in the state of Mis
sissippi alone and the first needs in
Illinois, Arkansas, Mississippi . and
Louisiana have already been met by
an appropriation of approximately
5100,000 by the National Red Cross
organization but it will require the
additional sum to continue the care
for .the health and comfort . of the
stricken . people in these struggling
communities.
xOur Cass county Red, Cross chap
ter is requested to . secure generous
aid immediately from our people in
behalf of these families without shel
ter, food or proper clothing.
The fact that President , Harding
and Judge Payne of the American
Red Cross have united in this urgent
appeal is sufficient indication that
the need is acute and that the co-
ine . .Jre , co
I operation of the. American citizen
ship everywhere is required to an
swer that need.
We all remember when the great
flood disaster in Pueblo, Colorado,
overwhelmed the Arkansas Valley
with death and wreckage, how the
American Red Cross, by its appeal to
the American people got a response
of over a half million dollars for re
establishing the families. The pres
ent flood covers a much wider ex
panse of territory in the very heart
of the busiest and richest industrial
and agricultural districts or. . the
country.
No one - can tell when a disaster,
cyclone, great fire, cloudburst or
floods will strike any community and
funds are maintained by the Nation
jal Red Cross for just this kind of
community insurance, but there have
been 70 disasters cared for by the
National Red Cross in the past year
and a half, ending June 30, last, and
funds must be secured on a wider
scale to meet the urgent require-
men ts. The local chapters and coun-
ty organizations In the counties af
fected by the flood have already con
tributed liberally and to the extent
of their resources. This contribution
is meeting the first needs, but natur
ally is utterly inadequate -in the
face of such a great calamity.
The people of Cass county may be
can witn warm neanea generosity
and with entire confidence that their
money will be applied most effective-
lv. under the auspices of the Red
Cross, for the purposes for which It
is Intended. . Contributions may be
sent to the office of the local Red
Cross chapter which will in turn
forward it to the National organiza
tion. Miss Bernese Newell is the
Jocal treasurer.
