Out of some thirty odd

from one first district post which was ,
conspicuous by its absence this year, j
were heard to remark, 'We have

time." With a membership of less
than half the combined membership
of the first district. Lincoln took this
year two of the three convention
delegates, the one executive commit
tee member and one of the three con
vention alternates.
State Commander Ritchie made a
stirring speech before the convention
denouncing the veto of President
Harding of the compensation bill.
"There is no reason for the presi
dent to veto this bill." said Ritchie.
"Following the war, the country
granted subsidies to shipping inter
ests and to railroads. It reimbursed
manufacturers for alleged losses . on I
war contracts, all of which proht-
eered out of the war. But the ex-
service man, who made enormous
sacrifices during the war, is called i
upon to make still further sacrifice.' j
Says All Offered Selves
Ritchie charged that the presi
dent deliberately picked on the sales
tax to add to the bonus bill, know
ing it to be most obnoxious to the
people and that congress would re
fuse to put it in the measure.
"There is another question to be
considered in the payment of the
bonus than only the disabled,"
Ritchie declared. "Those who es
caped injury in battle offered them
selves." Every man who donned the uni
form and went to war, suffered an
economic loss, Ritchie said. Big
financial interests have their losses
made good, he charged; not so, the
men.
"No bonds are necessary to grant
subsidies to shipping interests," he
said

From Friday's Ia!ij
The laurel crown of city tennis
champion now decorates the brow of
Ray Larson through his defeat in a
hard fought battle last evening of
Rev. John Calvert, who is former
city champion of Omaha, and one of
the recognized star players of the
state.
Tn the nnpninc of the match the
chances of Larson seemed very slight
iaR Rkilfnl nlavins of Rev. Cal-
vert won tne first two sets, 6-3
and 6-l. but in the succeeding set
he weakened ami the set went to
Larson by the score of 6-4; and the
two following sets were won by Lar
son by the scores of 9-7 and 6-3.
The result is the culmination i of
the city elimination tournament and
undoubtedly was fought out by the
two most expert players in the city.
Mr. Larson has been a devotee of
the game for a number of years and
has played in many of the state tour
naments where he has given a good
account" of himself, while Rev. Cal

real tennis sharks of the state.

DEATH COMES TO
ELDER GEORGE W.
fflAYFIELD, AGED 84
Passed Away Thursday Morning at
8 O'Clock at Louisville Home
After a Short Illness.
From Friday's Dally.
George W. Mayfiehl. pioneer resi
dent of the state of Nebraska and
well known Cass county citizen,
died yesterday morning at the home
in Louisville following an illness of
the past week and during which
time his recovery was given up by
the members of the family.
Elder Mayfield was at the time
cf his death a little past eighty-four
years of age. having been born in
Hloomington, Ind., August 22, 1838,
and was a son of Leroy Mayfield, a
native of Kentucky, who came to
Indiana at an early period, and mar
ried Miss Martha Basket of South
Carolina. The father of George W.
Mayfield came to Blooniington when
it was but a struggling village amid
the outposts of civilization, and it
was here that George W. Mayfield
was reared to manhood and received
his education in the public schools
cf that place.
In the year 18 55 Mr. Mayfield
tame west to the Nebraska territory,
crossing the Missouri river and lo
cating near the tiny hamlet of
Plattsmouth and engaged as -a farm
laborer on the nearby farming lands.
The same year of his arrival the
young man engaged in the border
warfare that wr.s maintained by the
Indians and was with the expedition
cf General John M. Thayer up the
Loup and Elkhorn rivers to protect
the settlers from the visitations of
the savage Indians.
Returning to Cass county, Mr.
riayfield was married in 1S58 to
Miss Emaline Todd, a native of Ne
braska, and daughter of Mr. and
T.Irr--. Thomas J. Todd, who were
among the earliest residents of the
territory of Nebraska and resided on
n farm west of Plattsmouth. Mr. and
Mrs. Mayfield have since their mar
riage made their home in this coun
ty wbre Mr. Mayfield
largely' engaged In ' the
work in which also his

Mr. Mayfield established the Re
publican at Weeping Water at an
early day and in 1SS3 started in
business at Louisville by publishing
the Observer and which was the
foundation of the present Louisville
Courier, now owned by his son, Le
roy J. Mayfield.
To bless the life of Mr. and Mrs.
Tlayfield there were born eieht child
ren, who with the aged wife, who is
now in her eighty-sixth year, re

ing cf the aged father and husband
has occasioned. The children are:

Eider Mayfield has been for a num
ber of years a minister of the Chris
tian church and in his daily life
practiced the precepts of the Master
in his dealings toward his fellow
men.
In common with the many friends
in thi3 portion of Cass county, the
Journal extends the deepest sympa
thy to the family in the loss that has
come to them.
iETTER FIX UP
YOUR CHIMNEYS
TO AVOID FIRE
Fire Chief Dr. 0. Sandin Issnes Word
of Warning to Residents as
Heating Season Near.
Dr. O. Sandin, fire chief of the
city, and lynx eyed foe of the fire
demon, is issuing a warning to the
residents of the city as to the con
dition of the chimneys at the homes
over the town. The faulty flue is
the cause of the greater part of the
fire3 that occur here in Plattsmouth
and this is also largely due to care
lessness in looking after the matter
at the proper time.
In the late fall and winter season,
when the .households have to have
more heat in the homes, the danger
increases in. the ratio that the chim
neys are subjected to great heat and
if there are any cracks or other leaks
in them or they are filled with soot,
they are apt to cause some trouble.
A little foresight now will save
many a family having to get out in
the cold winter weather because
their home is going up in flames as
the result of their failure to look
after the care of the chimneys.
NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT
From Friday' Dally.
The reports from the Immanuel
hospital in Omaha last night stated
that the general condition of Mrs.
Fred Wynn seemed somewhat better
but the patient was still very weak ;
and In her present condition It will
require some time before it will be
possible, to operate on the patient.
MADE BAND LEADER
Donald Lloyd Reynolds of White
fish, Mont., a son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. L. Reynolds of that city, is be
coming well known in the northwest
for his work as a band musician and
leader and the fact is especially in
teresting here for the reason that
the young man's mother was former
ly Miss Bertha Lloyd, daughter of
J. J. Lloyd, now a resident of the
Nebraska Masonic Home. The young
man, who is sixteen years of age, has
been made leader of the Nixon's fa
mous boys' "band, and has held that
position for the past six months in
the absence of the leader, Prof. Nix
on of Whitefish. The band has made
a pronounced hit where it has ap
peared in the last few months.

Causes the Arrest of Fritz Tigner of
Union and a Fine of $20 and
Costs in Court Today.
From Friday's Dally.
Last night Sheriff C. D. Quinton
was called to Union where Fritz Tig
ner was reported as being on a ram
page caused by an overdose of the
sparking vintage of the grape com-
"bined with elderberry and which
seemed to have an effect on the gen
tleman not unlike chained light
ning and which alarmed those who
were with him as to what might be
the outcome.
The sheriff on arriving soon pour
ed oil on the troubled waters of the
turmoil and securing Mr. Tigner,
prepared to return with him to the
county seat and also did away with
the cause of the condition of the
prisoner by pouring out the high
powered liquor.
This morning when his honor.
Judge William Weber, ascended his
judicial throne the prisoner was
present and was charged with being
drunk, contrary to the peace and dig
nity of. the state of Nebraska,, and
to which he entered a plea of guil
ty. It required $20 and costs to sat
isfy, the feelings. of outraged justice
and the young man" "was then" allow
ed to proceed on homeward.
TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED.
From Thursday' Ia!ly.
Those who have watched the pro
gress of the re-paving of Main street
cannot nearly so well appreciate the
great change in appearance that is
being wrought as the occasional vis
itor who is moved to 'remark on the
improvement. When completed, the
main thoroughfare of our city will
really assume a metropolitan air
with its smooth brick pavement, elec
trolier lights and numerous illumi
nated signs that go to make up the
white way.
But, as we said at the start, those
who have watched the evolution of
the thing are not nearly so appre-'
ciauve ot it as tney might otherwise
be. Somehow we come to take things
for granted and let them rest at
that. A little boosting for Platts-
mouth's new Main street will not
come amiss and will ronvince strang
ers that we are awake.
