supply of decoys and the stock of
shells in readiness for "der tag." as
our old and not lamented friend,
Kaiser Bill, would say.
fJeorge Tartsch, Will Streight.
Cliff Forbes and ethers of the chief

i and Dr. Caldwell, have been getting
all ready for the auspicious occasion
and are now ready to launch a sreat
onensive on the unwary feathered
residents along the rivers and
streams in this locality.
County Clerk George Saylos has

the St Mary's Guild of St. Luke's
Episcopal church held their first
meeting of the year at the pleasant
home of Mrs. R. W. Clement, with
Mrs. T. B. Peterson assisting and the

by the members of the society.
The ladies spent the time in dis
cussing the plans for the year's work
and the preparation of articles for
the Christmas shop, that has grown
to be one of the features of the holi
day season in the community. The
ladies will in the next few weeks
start in on their needlework so that
the shop will have the usual fine ar
ray of beautiful articles for the buy
ing public.
At a suitable hour the hostesses
served a very dainty luncheon that
was very much enjoyed and which
served to complete an interesting and
profitable afternoon.
As a guest of the guild, J.Irs. Daisy
Pickett of Evansville, Indiana, was
present to meet the many old friends,
being a house guest of Miss Dora
Fricke, and other old friertds here.

OLD VETERAN POORLY
Fred Ileinrich, Sr., one of the vet
erans of the Civil war, and a long
time resident of this city, is in very
serious condition at the home of his
son, Fred, at Ilavelock, where he has
been for the past three months visit
ing. The condition of the aged man
who is in his eighty-fifth year, has
become such that yesterday the mem
bers of the family were called to his
bedside. This morning a message
from Havelock gave word of the pa
tient resting a little easier, but ow
ing to his extreme age he is in very
serious shape.
This morning, at the Invitation of
Division Superintendent N. C. Allen
of the Burlington, some forty-eight
of the business men of the city, rep
resenting practically all of the bus
iness houses of the community, vis
ited the Burlington shops to be
shown through the plant and also tf
enjoy luncheon as the guests of the
railroad company.
The visitors were escorted by Mr.
Allen. Superintendent liaird. Train
master Connett and other of the lo
cal officials through the shops to
view the various departments and
their workings.
The announcement was made that
the Burlington had on its payrolls
at this point 450 men in the mechan
ical department of the shops and
each department, with the excep
tion of the boiler shop, seemed to be
supplied with a large force of men.
After the delegation had visited
the departments they were escorted I allow their
to the group of buildings in the
south portion of the yards where are
quartered the men who have come
here to work, and these buildings
consist of sleeping quarters as well
as dining hall, recreation room and
kitchens. These kitchens and dining
rooms are under the control of the
Oreer company that supply the Bur
lington with their boarding camps
at different points.
At the close of the very generous
feed, which embraced a very fine ar
ray of the good things of the mar
ket. Mr. N. C. Allen gave a short
talk to both the employes and the
visitors relative to the situation from
the viewpoint of the railroad and its
officers. He stated that the company
had been compelled to adopt meth
ods to deal with the necessity of op
erating for the benefit of the public
and for which they had advertised
for men and had secured the pres
ent force which he stated numbered
4 50, and he expressed to the men
his appreciation of their work and
efforts. lie also told the employes of
the formation of the Burlington
Mechanical Association, formed
among the employes of theroad In
the lines west of the Missouri river
and also stated that the time had
come when the railroad company de
sired to have the men in their em
ploy allowed to go and come from
their work as they chose and to as
sume places as citizens of the com
munity. To the delegation of Plattsmouth
business men. Mr. Allen stated that
many of the new employes desired
to bring their families here to live
and for this reason they were anx
ious that the status of the men be
assured in the protection of the city
government.
The Burlington officials and the
business men at the close of the
meeting held a short conference as to Will II. Meisinger of near Cedar

PURCHASES COAL BUSINESS
The Cloidt Lumber and Coal Co.
of this city has just closed the deal
whereby they secure the coal busi
ness of C. G. Fricke, paying the sum
of $5,305 to the Livingston Loan &
Building association, the present
owners of the yard. The purchase
includes all of the stock on hand,
the horses, trucks, wagons and other
equipment as well as the office build
ing and sheds and the lease of the
land from the Burlington on which
the sheds are located.
NOTICE TO PAY EILLS
The Livingston Loan and Building
Association has taken over the C. G.
Fricke coal business, and all ac
counts due to him. All the accounts
due to C. G. Fricke in his coal and
feed business have been placed in the
hands of A. L. Tidd for collection.
All persons knowing themselves in
debted to C. G. Fricke for coal, wood
and feed, will call at the office of
own ways when through with their
work and not be compelled to re
main in the shop yards all of the
time as they have been since the
strike was first called or since tfiey
arrived here to work.
The general sentiment shown was
that some means should be devised
by conference with the city govern
ment as well as with the officials of
the various unions as to what woulu
be an agreeable plan of the hand
ling of the situation here where the
fact is self evident that a change
will be made in the near future af
fecting the condition of the men who
are now employed here.
While every merchant expressed
nothing but the warmest regard for
their friends who are numbered
among those who have gone out on
strike, the feeling was that the city
should have the benefit of the desire
of the men of the shops to get out
and patronize the stores or attend
churches or places of amusement in
the evening. The strike has made
necessary the assistance of the bus
iness houses to many of their old pat
rons and 'friends who have been out
in their cause and this has led many
to feel keenly the lack of the flow
of monthly receipts and which they
feel would be bettered somewhat by
the men now at work being allowed
to spend their money.
In speaking to the business men.
Mr. Allen stated that the Burling
ton through President Hale Holden
had announced that they were not
parties to any negotiations and that
those who desired to enter the ser
vice must do so by application to the
shop superintendent, but that to the
former employes the company would
former pension rights
and sick or death benefits if they
were accepted or taken back into
the service.
Mr. Allen stated that the railroad
desired to give the citizens the right
to handle the matter as they thought
best but the employes of the com
pany would be given their full rights
as citizens and the protection of the
state would be called upon if the
city and county authorities were not
able to give the men the protection
of their liberties.
It was finally decided that a com
mittee would confer with the city
government to see if the plans could
not be carried out that would allow
the men to come out and spend their
money if they desired in the best in
terests of the community.
