NOW FEELING IMPROVED
From Mr-nday's rail.
Kli Manspeaker. former chief of
police, and one of the old residents
of the city, was down town Saturday
afternoon for the first time since his
return from the hospital in Omaha.
Mr. Maiii-peaker is looking in the
best of shape and bears little sign of
his long weeks t-pent in the hospital,
where he was recovering from the
effects of his operation for gal!
stones. It is a pleasure to see our
old friend out and around and the
many friends join in the wish that
he may continue his improvement
until he is fully restored to health.
AUXILIARY CHICKEN
PIE SUPPER SUCCESS
Despite Heary Rain and Disagree-:
able Conditions Many Turned
Away at the Supper. j
: From Mondays I-feilv. i
The American Legion Auxiliary
held their annual chicken pie supper
at th-- Oiid Fellows hall on Saturday
evening. When the ladies held their
first supper on Nov. 11. 1921. the
ladies concluded to make this oeca-!
sioii an annual affair and to be he Id '
on the llth day of November of each
year. On this occasion the Odd Fed- ,
lows hall had been very appropriate- !
ly decorated in red, white and blue,
a profusion of ike autumn flowers
and tlit' American Legion standard
and flag also being used. In spite of
conditions and the inclemency of the
weather there wi re a large number!
in attendance to partake of the de
licious supper provided by the ladies, i
The holies of the American Legion1
Auxiliary regret very much that they
were required to turn many away.
They wish to thank the public for
their liberal patronage and will say ;
that on account of conditions they:
did not prepare for s tub a large i
number but next year will plan to
care for all. The American Legion '
Auxiliary wishes to thank those who!
so kindly assisted in making this oc
casion a success, also the I. O. O. F.
lodge for the use of their Kail.
MAY ASK A RE
COUNT OF VOTES
FOR TREASURER
! With Absent Voters' Ballots Counted
! Miss Mia U. Gering is Still 24
Votes in the Lead.
From Monday's rally.
The last count of the votes in the
general election was made today
when the canvassing board compos
ed of County Clerk Sayles. J. P. Fal
ter and James Hall, counted the bal
lots sent in by mail from the ab
sent voters.
In the treasurership battle be
tween Miss Mia I". Oering. democrat,
and Will T. Adams, republican, the
result has narrowed down to a ma
jority of 2 1 for Miss Oering on the
face of the official count. The first
summary of the result gave her thirty-eight
majority, but this was re
duced to thirty-seven in the canvass
of the county vote. In the mail bal
lots thfre were nineteen for Adams
and six for Oering which lowered
the majority of the leader down to
2 4 votes.
It is possible that there may be a
r-count asked of the votes by Mr.
Adams to satisfy himself that there
has been no error made in any of
the pre( in.-t returns that might ma
terially I'fVect the returns. It is not
in th- spirit of personal feeling at
all that th" recount may be asked for
but to settle beyond any doubt the
result.
Th" b-st of feeling exists between
the rival candidates who are neigh
bors at the court house and should
the recount be asked it will be along
purely friendly lines to ascertain to
a certaintv the result.
OLD RESIDENT WRITES
From Monday's !hi:v. j
The Journal has just received a'
letter from one of the former well
known residents of this city and in
which the writer conveys her best
wish.es for the welfare of the many
old time friend3 in the community.
The letter is from Mrs. A. H. Knee,
who has for the past four year3 been
a resident of the Methodist home for
;tlie aged at Blair. Mrs. Knee states
that the visit of the paper is always
looked forward to with the greatest
,of pleasure and especially as she was
a resident of Plattsmouth from July
,27, 18C9. until she removed to
, Blair.
Mrs. Knee speaks of a number of
I the ladies who have been residents
of the city since the pioneer days.
Mrs. C. H. Parmele. Mrs. F. D. Kehn-
hoff and Mrs. S. E. McElwain being
among those whom she recalls.
The health of Mrs. Kn?e has been
failing for some time, due to her
.advancing years and she has been
(compelled to forego many of her
I iormer aciivjues.

MEETING OF
WOMEN'S GLUE A
GREAT SUCCESS
Federation Members of Cass and Otoe
Counties Join in Very Success
ful Meeting- in this City.
From Tuesday's Pallv.
Yesterday th.- First Methodist
church was the set lie of a very pleas
ant gathering when the ladies who
are members of the woman's clubs
of Cass and Otoe counties, gathered
in joint convention and which was
very largely attended by the mem
bers despite the unusually bad weath
er that prevailed throughout the
day.
The weather conditions kept a
number of the members from the
smaller towns from attending and
necessitated a clo-ngo in the program
but those who were lure felt that
they were amply repaid for their ef
forts in the excellent array of talent
presented and in the inspiring ad
dress of Mrs. E'lgar 15. Penney of
Fullerton. president of the Nebraska
Federation of Woman's clubs.
The meeting was opened at 10
o'tio.k
cation
of this
formal
at the church and the invo
offertd by Mrs. W. S. Leete
city and was followed by the
opening of the convention.
Mrs. S. P. Cresap of Nebraska City,
district president, calling the meei
ing to order and this talented lady
presided throughout the convention
with lor usual pleasant mannr and
which added gnatly to the pleasure
of the ladies.
The address oi" welcome to the vis
itors was offered by Mrs. Thomas F.
Murphy of this city on behalf of the
I lattsmouth Woman's club, who ex
pressed the pleasure of th" local or
ganization at having so many of the
i.iembi.rs present. To the address of
' Iconic. Mrs. Waitie Charlton of
Palmyra responded very charmingly
for the visitors.
During the morning session two
delightful musical numbers were giv-
n. a vo.-ul .-olo by Mrs. II. W. Black
and a piano selection by Mrs. Chris
tine Coughlin, both of which wore
given in a very artistic manner and
much enjoyed by the delegates.
Mrs. William A. Robertson gave a
very interesting address on "Junior
Organizations." that was much en
joyed and showed thoughtfulness and
rtudy on this important subject.
Miss Alice Louise Wescott delight
ed the delegates with a whistling
solo that followed a period of as
sembly sir.gii-g when the well known
songs were given by tin
the convention. Mrs. F.
me m o rs or
If. Wescott
acting as the leader.
At the noon hour a picnic lunch-
o!i w;s served to the members of
th" convention in the parlors of. the
(himh and which was a very pleas
ant part of the program of the meet
ing. On the re-assembling of the con
vention a violin solo by Mrs. A. I).
Caldwell and Miss Grace Kinder, de
lighted the au litr.ee and was heart
ily encored by the members.
Preceding the address of the state
president. Mrs. Allen J. Iieeson pre
sented both Mrs. Penny and Mrs.
Cresap with handsome corsage Imu
que;s as a token of the appreciation
of the convention and which were
accepted with a very well chosen re
sponse by the holies.
Mrs. Penny received a very pleas
ing ovation from the ladies as she
gave her message to the delegates
and her remarks covered the activi
ties of the various clubs over the
state and the interests along which
the woman's clubs are planning the ir
activities for the coming year. The
pre.-ident is one of the' leaders in the
women's work in the state and -has
served as president of the American
Legion Auxiliary as well as the wom
an's club and her splendiel exee-utive
ability has brought her well deserved
recognition at t lie hands of the wom
en of the state.
Following the address of Mrs. Pen
ney the convention enjoyed a vocal
solo by Mrs. James T. Begley. one of
the well known vocalists of the c ity,
which was given most charmingly
and was following by the eiuestion
box. conducted by Mrs. Penney in
which many questions of interest
were taken up.
Mr. Anton Ha jock favored the con
vention with a number of xylophone
numbers given in his usual skilful
manner.
Mrs. William Baird gave a delight
ful reading before the convention
which was received with marked ap
proval. Six ladies of the Nebraska City
woman's club gave a very laughable
little comedy, "The Beauty Parlor."
which was a feature that was a de
cided hit of the convention and the
members who were present felt that
the visitors had a real entertainment
feature in their offering.
Mrs. E. H. Wescott at the close of
the convention gave one of her al
ways enjoyable vocal numbers that
fittingly closed a day of real enjoy
ment. A luncheon was served at the close
of the convention.
In the evening the ladies were en
tertained at the beautiful home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Richey in the
north portion of the city in an in
formal reception to Mrs. Penney and
Mrs. Cresap and which was attended
by the ladies of the convention as
well as a number from among the
residents of the city to .:reei the dis
tinguished guests of .nor.
Among tile visitoi from Otoe
county were V sdann-s ;'n.st. Polir.ir.

RAIN STOPS WORK
From Monela'e Tiaily.
The old hoodoo rainy weather
which delayed Contractor Bert Cole
man in the fore pari of the season
in getting the new pavement on Main
street started, appears to hang with
the work, as the bricklayers were
held up today in laying the brick
after getting three blocks done and
a portion of the intersection at rth
and Main street. With the weather
threatening Saturday afternoon the
waterways on the pavement already
down were covered with asphalt and
served to carry the water off very
well to the sewers but in the other
portions of the piving the rain caus
ed some water to form on the base
which will take some time to dry up.
A few clays of good weather would
have permitted the work to DC rush
ed to completion.

CEDAR CREEK
STORE RAIDED
BY BURGLARS
EUSINESS HOUSE OF A. 0 AULT
VT'sTTTTJ finnTlS A '.TO IT XT-
ING TO S300 TAKEN.
From Tuesday n Oauy
The sout heasiern portion of Ne
braska seems to b" the faore-d spot
for the visitation of robbers who have
made the small country stores tie
target of their visits ami th.- h:te-t
place to fe 1 the rffee ts of the visits
robbers is our neighboring vi
ol' Cedar t r.-e k.
Last night, sometime- after th"
n;idniglit liour. the ge-n.-ral sinre- of
A. O. Ault m Cedar ('ink was e n-tere-el
ami gtx.ds T th- amount of
Jnit taken ;t:nl the parties mad" a
successful getaway with tl:- loot.
The entrance- was secured by pry
ing off the door in the outside- eeiiar
door and from where- an easy way
I was made- info the main store rooin
jv litre the- two ne-n eide-ntly took
i the ir time in making the- se lo tmii
i of the stock of goods. Th" men mad"
j a complete c hange1 of attire at the
stor" and fitted themselves out with
, heavy winter clothing, it.cluiliug
! bather coats and ne w shoes. The rid
; discarded garments were foiniel in
the store- this morning when Mr.
Ault ton r.'-d up for business.
In a hurried tlo-c k of the stm k
ground in the vicinity was quite soft
before the
freze and there are
no
the
marks of
foot prints around
building.
Cedar Creek can now join the oth
er communities in the county that
have be e ii made the scene of rob
beries of this nature and they have
been very fortunate that they have
not suffe-re-d as frequently as have
the other towns.
