What About
Most any kind of a suit can be made to look good the first time
it's worn a hot iron "will press the lccds in." But it takes some
thing more to keep the Icoks there. We can sell you "today suits"
it you want them $J5 to $29, but our "tomorrow suits" suits
that have a future are $30, $33 and up - and they're cheaper.

"The employes cannot help notic

tion in railroad rates, totalling
$400,000,000 look pretty small.
Some one is pocketing the differ

out the increasing income of numer
ous large roads, declaring fifty-four
carriers for whom returns had been
published showed a net return of
$152. 70S. 784 for the first four
months of this year.
The effect of this "contrast" Mr.
Jewell said, "would be confirmation
of the belief among railroad em
ployes in general that the railroad
labor board is not an impartial court
created to dispense justice, but cre
ated to help the rialroads carry out
their labor policy."
The new wage slash would also
effect morale, President Jewell said,
because the employes would not be
able to give their highest efficiency
as under "just conditions." The de
cision, he said, did not measure up
to a minimum "efficiency wage.

From Wednesday's rally
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the St. Mary's Guild were very de
lightfully entertained .at the charm
ing home of Mrs. T. J. Will at "Will
view" north of the city in the clos
ing meeting of the year and the oc
casion was one of the greatest de
light to the large number of ladies
in attendance.
The home which Is situated on
the commanding hill from which the
broad reaches of the Platte valicy
lie before the enchanted eye of the
beholder was certainly an ideal spot
for the meeting and one which all
those attending will long pleasantly
remrember as well as the gracious
hospitality that the hostesses receiv
ed their guests with on the occasion
During the afternoon the ladies
were delighted with a varied musi
cal program, Mrs. James T. Regley
giving a number of vocal selection?,
the accompaniment being played by
Miss Kathryn Wadick, and Miss
Wadick as well charmed the audi
tors with a number of beautiful
piano selections. The choir of the St
Luko's church with Father W. S.
Leete, also gave a number of the
church hymns that proved a delight
ful feature of the afternoon's enter
tainment.
At a suitable hour dainty refresh
ments ot strawberries anu ice cream
were served by the hostesses who
were assisted by Miss Violet Begley
and Miss Seay and as the afternoon
drew to a close the ladi motored
back to the city feeling that the oc
casion had been one of the greatest
of enjoyment.
MARRIAGE OF
- TWO POPULAR
YOUNG PEOPLE
Miss Beulah Henry, and Mr. Earl
Schwenneker Married This
Afternoon at 2 0'Clock.
From Wednesday's Dally
This afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
Methodist parsonage occurred the
marriage of two of the popular youni:
people of the city. Miss Beulah Hen
ry and Mr. Earl Schwenneker. The
wedding was very quiet and attend
ed by only the mothers of the con
tracting parties, , Mrs. John Henry.
and Mrs. O. O. Schwenneker, and the
members of the Calvert family.,
The bride wore a very charming
gown of silk allover lace over laven-
dar satin with picture hat of white
and carrying a shower bouquet of
the beautiful bride roses.
The marriage lines were rend by
the Kev. John Calvert, pastor of the
church, and the double ring service
used in the celebration of the wiel
ding ceremony and made the event
most impressive as the two young
people gave their vows of love until
the end of tiifce? '
The bride has made her home in
this city for the past three years.
coming with her family from West
Plains, Mo., and during her residence
hero has been quite active in the
church and social work of the Meth
odist church and is held in tho high
est esteem by a large circle or warm
friends. The groom is a young man
who has grown to manhood in this
and is held in the highest esteem l3
a large circle of friends whom he
has won by his many worthy traits
of character.
For the present the newly weds
will make their home at the Henry
home until the completion of the
new residence that Mr. and Mrs.
Schwenneker expect to occupy in the
fall.
BOXING MATCH PLANNED
One of the features at the Mod
ern Woodmen picnic in this city will
be the athletic program that is be
ing arranged by the committee in
charge and which will include a
wrestling match between Frank
Schmader, the well known mat ar
tist of this city, and one of the fast
wrestlers of the southern part of the
state, as well as a boxing exhibition
between a number of the local fol
lowers of the art ot boxing, Ermin
Galloway, ex-soldier, and Joe Sme
tana, ex-sailor, will probably be
matched up for one of the main fist
ic bouts of the day and these two
husky boys should give the fight
fans a real treat as they both are
very clever with the gloves. Other
lightweight matches .will be given.
FUEL PROBLEM IS NOT VITAL
The fuel problem is not bothering
the Burlington at the present time,
according to reports. That company
is now getting a large amount or
bituminous coal from the southern
Colorado fields and a constant sup
ply of lignite from the LaFayette
mines north of Denver. A large part
of its lines in the northwest are op
erated with oil burner engines. So
well has the fuel supply kept up re
cently that the store supply at Lin
coln and some other places on the
lines west has not been touched. It
is understood that the lines east are
getting a fair amount of coal from
the Kentucky mines, and that so far
as this railroad is concerned the
strike has not yet affected business
seriously. State Journal.

I will play at the social dance at

NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT
The reports from the bedside of
Col. J. B. Seyboldt of Murray, who
is at the Lord Lister hospital in Om
aha, indicate that there is very lit
tle change in the condition of the
patient and he is still in very ser
ious shape and it will take some
time before there is any appreciable
change for tWe better. Some of 4he
members of the family are constantly
with the sick man and assisting in
his care.

see in Andy a young man of clean
habits, gentile manners and a fighter
of promising ability. In the ring the
ferocity of his fighting has led to nu
merous attempts to compromise him.
and his enemies have stopped at no
means to accomplish their purpose.
One thing is certain, Andy has
never been accused of stalling, hold
ing back or otherwise controlling the
outcome of his fights. No matter if
his adversary be tough or compara
tively easy Andy always gives the
spectators the best there is in him.
which is a virtue in itself in these
days when many battles are pre
arranged with a view to working up
enthusiasm and gaining a re-match.
For this reason. Andy doesn't make
as much money as many others m the
game and incidentally is made the
target of schemers who are themselv
es looking for a chance at the easy
money. When he enters the ring.
however, everyone knows he will do
li is best, and Cass county friends who
admire this quality in his jnakeup,
should give him their support by at
tending the bout and voicing their
approval of his style.
J. F. Wolff has secured a bunch
of tickets for Friday night's bouta
and will have several cars in service
to convey the local fans to and from
the metropolis. If the roads are good
there should be more than half a
hundred go up from Plattsmouth
alona while Louisville will send its
usual large delegation.

When the see Marshall Neilan's

tion which will be shown at the

raphy by notables.
For instance, the cloteups of Wes

swipes the janitor s overalls to hide
the red trunks that once acted as Pa
Scbofield's flannel underwear and
which Ma Scofield sews into a suit
for the pageant, were photographed
by Alma Taylor, the most famous
screen star of England.
The scene in the barn where Rupe
Collins, the village rough neck, makes
the Booth Tarkington hero "eat dirt"
was filmed by none other than Prince
Pignapelli of Italy.
Then again, the closeups of Her

Other scenes were "ground" by
Fanchon and Marco, the musical

feld Follies, Cornish Beck, the origi
nal "Penrod" on the stage, and other
prominent people.
One might believe that Mr. Neil
an's habit of inviting all notable vis
itors to take a scene on "Penrod"
would relieve chief photographer
David Kesson of much work, but this
was hardly the case. Although the
guests did the actual . photographing
by grinding the camera, Mr. Kesson
arranged the focus, the lighting and,
particularly, looked after rescuing
his expensive camera when some not
able tripped over it or used it as a
cane rack.

One of the matters that is to re

judge of the City of Plattsmouth
During the indisposition of Judge
Archer and following his death Judge
Allen J. Beeson looked after the
work of the justice and police court
but this is an added burden to the
county judge's office that already has
a large volume of business and there
fore the appointment of a judge will
be a relief to the county court. There
are three applicants for the position,

A GREAT CONVENIENCE
The stopping of No. 1, the fast
Burlington train from Chicago to
Denver, at this city is a convenience
that the residents of the community
should appreciate and the railroad
must be assured of sufficient sup
port to warrant the train making
the stop each day instead of for east
of the river passengers as has been
the case. 'The cost of making the
stop altogether is close to $10 and
the patronage must warrant this or
the train must of necessity be re
turned to the old schedule. This i3
the only direct train from Chicago
reaching this city and it certainly
fills a long felt want in thi3 respect.
For those who are going to Omaha
to look after business or are visiting
here and desire to return home at
an early hour, it is a real conven
ience as leaving here at 6:15 a. m.
it reaches Omaha by 7 o'clock.
COAL DEALERS
LAUNCH ATTACK
ON HOOVER PRICE
Congressional Probe of Increase is
Asked Unless Rate is Return
ed to the Old Basis.
Washington, June C. Demand up
on the senate that Secretary of Com
merce Hoover's coal price-fixing
agreement with the operators be re
scinded, was made today by L. W.
Ferguson, president of the Chicago
Coal Merchants association and
Roderick Stephens, chairman of the
board of directors of the National
Retail Coal Dealers' association.
If the order is not rescinded, they
urged that a congressional investi
gation into the Hoover price confer
ence be instituted at once, inasmuch
as the first result of the voluntarily
mine price-fixing increasing the
price from $1.75 to $3.50 a ton has
been to force an increase by the re
tail coal dealer of 100 per cent in
the price of coal to the consuming
public.
The retail merchant association
leaders made their protest to Sena
tor Borah, Idaho, chairman of the
committee on education and labor,
and Senator Walsh, Massachusetts, a
member of the committee. Mr. Fer
guson had with him news from Chi
cago that a majority of retailers
there today were charging $8.50 a
ton for mine run coal, an advance
of $1 a ton since the Hoover price
conference with the operators. Other
figures were presented from various
parts of the country to show that
the retailers were helpless and at
the mercy of the operators as a re
sult of the Hoover price conference.
The senators were told that prior
to the Hoover conference they were
buying coal at the mouth of the
mines in such quaintities as they de
sired for $1.75 a ton, but that as
soon as the $3.50 maximum was fixed
that became the minimum. It was
asserted today that the operators
held a conference in Washington on
Decoration day before they were to
meet with Secretary Hoover, and
agreed among themselves to the
$'.50 a ton price. Some of the op
erators reported to the senators to
day that they were advised of this
price at S in the morning of the day
of the Hoover conference, two hours
prior to the time fixed for the meet
ing to begin.
TO HOLD SCHOOL MEETINGS
On next Monday, June 12th, the
various school districts of Cass coun
ty, outside of Plattsmouth and Weep
ing Water, will hold their annual
school meeting at which time the
various levies will be made for the
ensuing year that will cover the
cost of operating the schools and the
educating of the boys and girls of
the county. This is one part of the
expense of government that the citi
zens offer little complaint as the
work of educating the future men
and women of the county is one of
the gravest responsibilities of the
citizenship and one in which they
should give the young people every
possible advantage. Nowhere in the
world is there greater opportunity
for education than in the United
States with its great public school
system that recognizes neither cast
nor creed and gives to all a free and
liberal education.
Incidentally. the Cass county
schools rank very high and a great
deal of their success is due not only
to the splendid work of the teachers
but also the efficient management
of the county superintendent. Miss
Alpha Peterson, who is on the job
all the time seeing that every possi
ble means of the best education is
given the young people of Cass coun
ty.
RE-APPOINTS JUDGE
The board of county commission
ers at their session this morning
made the appointment of William
Deles Dernier of Elmwood as special
county judge to act here in the pre
liminary hearing of the Parmele
case. The board will also approve the
bond at their present session as the
hearing will be held on Saturday.
June 10th. Mr. Deles Dernier was
appointed at the session In May but
as the bond was not received and
approved in time the Elmwood attor
ney was unable to take up the duties
