Last evening was held the first of the series of two entertainments that mark the closing exercises of the St. John's Catholic sehcol, and the very entertaining program given reflects the greatest credit on the little folks taking part as well as the Ursuline Sisters, who conduct the school and have had the instruction of the young people in charge. The program was given with much cleverness on the part cf tho?e participating and despite the inconvenience in the lighting effects the two operettas were very enjoyable. The program opened with a chorus cf the young folks of the school in which their voices mingled in a fit ting opening of the evening's enter tainment and was followed by the Daisy drill by the younger girls of the school and which Was very pretty and showed the skillful training that had been given the little folks. The first of the two operettas given was that of "The Golden Slip per," In which the girls of the school participated. Each character was well taken and the costumes that had been largely prepared by the Sisters were vari-colorexl and artistic in the extreme. The leading roles in the operetta were taken by Marie Fogar ty, Teresa Libershal, Mary Schlater, One-piece windshield with windshield wiper SPECIAL-SIX 5-Pass.; 119' XV. B.i 50 H. P.

Wilbur Olson, who last year at tended the citizens training camp at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, is desirious of getting in the camp this year that will be held at Fort Des Moines, la., and accordingly he is searching for some other Platsmouth young man who desires to take up the training. There will be plenty of them the later part of July just before the camp opens, but they cannot be se cured to sign up application now and then it will be too late. The opportunity of registering for the camp has been extended until June 20th, and those who desire to attend should get their applications on file before that time. Further information relative to the C. M. T. C. is found in another ar tide in today's Journal.- This morning there was filed in the district court an action that is the outgrowth of the clays when the American republic was in arms against the Central powers and when the people at home were battling to sustain the far-flung battle line of the American boys in the fields of France, and when the American dol lars were flowing to aid the men of America in their fight. The action is brought by C. Law rence Stull against John F. Wehr bein, Joseph Johnson, Ralph Ilay nie, William Rummell, Dr. O. San din and the Plattsmouth State bank, a corporation. In the petition of the plaintiff that was prepared by his attorney, I. J. Dunn, of Omaha, it is alleged that on June 9, 191S, the defend ants with the exception of the de fendant bank, together with a mob of 100 to 200 persons visited the Stull farm and demanded of Mr. Stull that he contribute the sum of $4,000 to the government in the way or bonds and a check to tne American Red Cross, there being quotas assigned to all residents of the county at that time and during the other war work drives. The plaintiff states in his petition that he told the parties that he had no sum like $4,000 and was informed . that he had $2,S00 on deposit in one of the Plattsmouth banks and they de manded that he make the checks out for this amount and the members of the party, some of whom were arm ed, with revolvers and ropes, wait ed until the checks could be verified by the bank where the funds were on deposit. He made two checks, one for J1.S00 and one for $1,000 made payable to the American Red Cross, and a copy of which is attached to the petition and which was deposit ed to the Plattsmouth State bank, with the other funds of the Red Cross, that was being used in war work. The plaintiff asks that judgment in the amount of $1,000 be given him by the court for the recovery of the sura forcibly donated to the Red Cross for their work in the war. The incident will be recalled by a great many of the residents of the city who were here during this dark period of the World war. This is the first action of this kind brought to recover sums , that were contributed under protest to the war work wel fare organizations or the government in this section. Prom Saturd&y a DaTty. Last evening the Acacia fraternity of the University of Nebraska held their annual alumni banquet as a part of the big Nebraska roundup being staged at the state university this week, and Attorney W. A. Rob ertson, '09, of this city, presided as the toastmaster of the occasion. Th Acacia is the Masonic frater nity of the university and its mem bership is limited to those who are members of the A. F. & A. M. BROWN, MUCH SOUGHT FOR, RE PORTED SEEN Has Been "Positively Identified" in as Many as Six Places at One and the Same Time. Every stranger who makes his ap pearance in this section of Nebraska is being closely watched the last week since the revealing of the story of Fred Brown, the ex-convict and degenerate of Omaha has thrown a great scare into the larger part of the nhabitants of this state. From points as far west as Hold- rege and east to Pacific Junction there have been reports that Brown had been seen lurking around and these have kept the authorities hust ling to run down, each clue proving fruitless. On Thursday afternoon, Charles Smith, who is employed by the Platts mouth Motor company, was out at me on tanKs or tne company near the Missouri Pacific right-of-way. when the northbound freight pulled in and a stranger alighted in a hurry and coming over to Mr. Smith asked how he could get on into Omaha and was informed that there was always a chance to get a ride in a car going north and the man had stopped the first car going to Omaha and secured a ride on into the city. The man answered the description of Brown to a great extent. Another report Thursday was that a stranger who in some ways answer ed the description of the much want ed convict, had been seen to cross the Platte river wagon bridge headed for Omaha. Yesterday afternoon Chief of Po lice Barclay received a message that a car had been stolen near Ft. Crook and that it was thought that it might have been taken by Brown. According to the report the car was headed toward Plattsmouth. Almost instantly a large number of the citizens hurried by car to the Platte river to head off the fugitive if he appeared, but there was apparently nothing to the report, or at least the much wanted man did not put in his appearance and the convoy of man hunters returned empty handed. GREENWOOD ; THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AS PRIEST OFTHE CHURCH The Rev. Wilbur Scranton Leete, Rector of St. Luke's Church, to Observe Anniversary. On Monday the Rev. Wilbur Scran-, ton Leete, rector of St. Luke's Epis copal church of this city, will ob serve the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination into the priest hood of the church. To assist in the observance of the day in a fitting manner a, large number of the Ne braska clergy will be present to en joy the day with the rector of St. Luke's and also to conduct the ser vices at the church Monday morning. Father Leete was ordained aj a minister of the church on June 7, 1897, at Baltimore, Maryland, by Rt. Rev. William Parriett, bishop of Maryland, who served for the bishop of Rhode Island, who was un able to be present. On his ordina tion Father Leete came west and was assigned a parish at Galena, Kansas, where he remained for some time and later was transferred to the state of Iowa where he had a number of charges and from Lyons, Iowa, eight years ago, he came to Plattsmouth to take over the Sr.. Luke's parish, which had been made vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Allen G. Wilson. He has since served here and has by his efforts made a great headway with the work of the church, in increasing the growth of the parish as well as in the advance ment of the teachings of the church. To spend the day with Father Leete on Monday, the Rev. Lloyd Holdsapple, St. Barnabas church, Omaha; Rev. Stanley Jones, St. Paul's, Omaha; Rev. Blanning, Good Shepherd, Omaha; Rev. Gallagher, St. Andrews, Omaha: Rev. John Al bert Williams, St. Philips, Omaha; Rev. Noble, St. Mary's, Blair, will be here and conduct special services at the church which will include the celebration of Holy Eucharist at 8:30 a. ra. and at which Father Holdsapple of Omaha will preside at the organ while the other priests will conduct the services and Father Holdsapple give a short sermon.

COME ON YCU FISHER MEN; THE LAKE IS FULL State Game Warden George Koster and Superintendent W. J. O'Brien were here Saturday with the Ftate fish car and planted a car load of fish in the big lake north of town. There were eleven thousand of them, consisting of bull heads from Swan lake in Holt county, ring perch and crappies. This is one of the best lakes in this vicinity and is in easy access to town. It has been kept well stocked by the state and hundreds of people have enjoyed 'an outing along its banks with good fishing and bathing. Some excellent bass have been taken this spring as well as crappies, cat fish and carp. The lake is owned by the Lyman Richey Sand company, as are also most of the other lakes in this vi cinity. While here Messrs. Koster and O'Brien were dinner guests of the Commercial club at the Hotel Drake. Louisville Courier. Last week our business called the representative of the Journal to this beautiful town of Cass county and arriving there found the town astir with business and the farmers all busy and well pleased with the pros pects for the coming crops.

Disregard by parents for the manner in which their daughters choose their recrea tions is the problem with which'Mitia Mary ; E. Heartwell, for twenty-five years superintendent of the Florence Crittenton home, has had to deal. Miss Heartwell, after thirty-one years of social service work in De troit, resigned her position a few days ago. A quarter of a century of work with delinquent girls has shown Miss Heartwell among other things: That youth of today is so intoxi cated with recreation to the exclu sion of everything that is wholesome and mentally interesting in life that there 13 an Increasing need for such institutions as the Florence Critten- That the real cause of delinquen cy is with mothers, fathers and ! guardians.

SHOWER FOR BRIDE AVIATOR TO LOSE COMMISSION, Washington, June 2. The flight of Herbert J. Fahy, a commercial aviator, over the Lincoln memorial here during Tuesday's ceremonies, is to cost him his reserve commission as second lieutenant In the army aviation service. Secretary Weeks announced today that cancellation of Fahy's commis sion would be ordered formally to morrow on the grounds of miscon duct involving disrespect for the president ' of the United States, in terference with the proper observ ance of a public ceremony, and the endangering of life. No court- mar tial was necessary, it was explained. Fahy's flight, which drowned out part of the address of President W. G. Harding, was said at the war de partment to have been made in the face of three requests by army of ficers that he should not take the air during the ceremonies. From Saturday's Daily. Last evening a very enjoyable lin en shower was given by Miss Jessie Robertson and Mrs. R. P. Westover at the Robertson home in honor of Mrs. R. J. Fuller, one of the brides of the week. The home was recorated with pink and white peonies. The evening was spent in writing advice for th bride on "How to be Happy, Though Married." Those attending the shower were: Misses Helen Egenberger, Anna Has sler, Margaret Scotten, Amelia Mar tens, Minnie Guthman, Goldie Noble, Mary Clark and Mesdames William Baird, E. H.

Little does the mother bother with the thought that approved recreation and a man with clean morals and high ideals speels marital happiness for the girl. Unchaperoned motor car rides con stitute one of the biggest factors in the swelling numbers who are given aid at the Crittenton home.
