S0I.IEB0DY LOSES STILL
In th debri-s cat up from the ef
fects of the high water in the cnek
along Chicago avenue is one of the
nrest r.t d:iy household necessities and
probably being mourned very
c'eeply ly the late owner and thi.j
i nothing b-ss than the business end
of a still winch had evidently been
at some time steaming away in the
preparation of what the southern
mountaineers would term "moan
t -Lin dew" but which is better kno.vn
here as "corn" or "hootch." The
still was dsiovered placidly rcp..-.-ing
along the ereek bank and had
. ide.it ly come from some 1'statne
a way as it was el ear at the south
'H'i of the creek on Chicago avenue.
The machinery was cotistriH-t' !
f ri m a boiler top and a coil and ly
iag friendless and alone, where it
had hten tossed by the flood waters
was a sight that drew tears from the
eyes of those who have partaken of
the prohibition beverages, as it is
still tlo-re and awaits the coming of
the owner who doubtless sincerely
mourned the passing of the nil cop
per still and who sadly thinks as
the poet, "gone but not forgotten."

WORK ON NEW
MASONIC HOME IN
FIRMARY TO START
Equipment and Material is Being
Placed on the Ground for Ac
tive Construction Work
From Saturday's Daily
The work on the new infirmary ad
dition to the Nebraska Masonic
Home in this city is to start in full
blat in the next few days, weather
conditions permitting, and will be
rushed to completion in as short a
period of time as possible.
Th contract between the Masonic
Home board and the tirnl of Wind &

ed yesterday in Omaha by James M.
Robertson as president of the Home
association and formally closes the
proceedings leading to the active
opening of the work on the new in
firmary. The building will be covered by
the estimate of $125,000 made in
the appropriation and will be one of
the most complete and modern build
ings of its kind in the state when it
is hnished and will enable the Home

more cases where the applicants are
sick and in such shape as to need
hospital care and constant attention.
At the present time many such cases
are necessarily handled in hospitals
over the state and can, when the
new building is completed be han
dled most satisfactorily here.
The starting of the work will
make one of the largest building
enicrprises in the city in the year
l!;24 and will furnish a great deal
of employment during the season as
the work is pushed to completion.

Suffers Heavy Damage to
Corn and Small Grain
From Saturday's Daily
The farm of Edward Fitzgerald,
two miles south and one west of
Mynard has been a sufferer from, the
heavy storms of the past few weeks
and as the result a great deal of
the work and labor of preparation
for the corn crop has been wiped
out by the excessive rains and will
require a great deal of the corn be
ing replanted and some of this wlil
be for the third time this season.
The oats in the field also suffered
very much and a large part of these
are flat on the ground and may
prove a total loss to that portion
of the crop. This is the first season
that Mr. Fitzgerald has been on the
farm and the destruction of the
elements is very discouraging to the
efforts of himself and son, Edward,
who is assisting on the farm.

essarily be of short duration owinir

SHOWER FOR JUNE
BRIDE-TO-BE HELD
" FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Misses Helen Wescott and Marion
Mauzy Give Shower for MLs
Gladys Hall Friday.
Yesterday afternoon "Sunnj-side."
the Wescott home on High school
hill, was the scene of a very delight
ful gathering of young ladies of the
city and the occasion was in honor of
Miss Gladys Hall, who is to be one
of the June brides in this city.
The rooms of tho home had their
natural charm enhanced by the dec
orations in a color scheme of pink
and white, pink peonies and pink
roses furnishing a pleasing touch to
the decorative plan while on the
tables the tall pink candles added
their charm to the attractiveness of
the scene.
During the afternoon the guests
were provided with pencil and paper
and requested to draw a plan of the
future home of the bride- to-be and
in this there were many very excel
lent designs submitted and the prize
design was voted to be that of Miss
Edith Yelik.
As the chief feature of the after
noon the gifts were hidden over the
house and the bride-elect requested
to search out the several attractive
presents and unwrap them while the
members of the party gathered to as
sist her in the pleasurable task.
At a suitable hour the hostesses
served a very dainty and tempting
luncheon that was very much enjoy
ed by all of the party and which
served to complete the most delight
ful occasion.
Long May It Wave o'er Land
of Free and Home of Brave
The birthday of the flag was ob
served today over the city by the
flying of the national colors, which
have in the present form been the
national emblem since the accept
ance of the design by the Continental
congress and the submission of the
design to Mrs. Betsy Ross who will
have the honor in history of having
made the first flag that was to stand
as the expression of a great nation
and whose colors have brought glory
to the republic that they represent
and hope to the world.
The American flag has had sever
al changes in design from time to
time as far as the arrangement of
the stars in the blue field have been
concerned, as the states were added
to the union, but for the past one
hundred years the present form of
the arrangement of the stars has
been used.
The flag tells the story of the na
tional life, the red and white stripes
representing the colors of purity and
courage and in number stand for the
first colonies of the country that won
the war of independence while in
the starry field each state in the
union is represented.
The Hag is one of the oldest in
the world and with the English
standard has the distinction of hav
ing been seen in almost every sec
tion of the world. In the case of
the American flag, however, it has
never been the banner of conquest
and has always been borne in time
of strife in the cause of humanity
and human liberty and has yet to
have gone forth in a struggle that
was lost and has always emerged
victorious in every battlefield and
in every war waged in the cause of
human right and liberty.
LIGHTNING DOES DAMAGE
The Ebersole building on South
Sixth street which suffered a great
loss in the storm on Thursday morn-
inging was largely damaged by light
ning rather than the flood, Mr. Eber
sole, the owner states and who with
his sons were in the building at the ;
time the lightning struck at the rear
of the building and the course of
the bolt shattered the roof of the
building and caused it to collapse.
The same bolt also badly damaged
the shed belonging to the II. M.
Soennichsen company nearby.
Plattsmouth People Should Not Ne
glect Their Kidneys.
No kidney ailment is unimportant. '
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approaching
Iropsy, gravel or Bright s disease.
Kidney disease is seldom fatal if
treated in time, . but neglect may
pave the way. Don't neglect a lame
or aching back another day. Don't
ignore dizzy spells, irregular or dis
colored urine, headaches, weariness
or depression. If you feel you need
kidney help begin using the reliable,
time-tried rem,edy, Doan's Pills. For
50 years Doan s have been found ef
fective. Endorsed by Plattsmouth
people. Ask your neighbor!
Thco. Starkjohan, retired farmer.
Locust and Ninth streets, Platts
mouth, says: "Doan's Pills have been
used in our family for kidney trou
bles and backache and they have
proven to be all that is claimed of
them. Whenever my back feels a
little lame and my kidneys are not
acting as they should I take Doan's
Pills for a few days and they never
fail to do me good. Doan's can't be
equaled and anyone having kidney
trouble should take them for they
are reliable." (Statement given Feb
ruary 23, 1916.)
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, or
on May 12, 1920, Mr. Starkjohan
added: "The cure I had from Doan s
Pills has been a lasting one. I have
faith in Doan's and if ever I should
need a kidney remedy again, I will
use them."

Burlington Makes Order Closing All
Shops Until the 1st of July.
To Run Small Force
From Saturday's Daily
The Burlington, r.s a part of their
retrenchment program that has been
in force for the past few months,
vesterday conveyed to the shop sup
erintendents and master mechanics
over the system, the order to have
thier shops closed for the remainder
of the month of June and not to re
sume their full activities until July
lit, when the new year for the rail
roads will open up.
In this city the order will affect
about ninety per cent of the men en
gaged in work in the mechanical de
part.nent of the shops, the only ones
remaining at work for this period
being those engaged in working on
dining car construction and the men
that are necessary in caring for the
task of maintaining the shops and
cleaning up over the different de
partments and placing them in prop
er shape for the resumption of ac
tive work at the opening of the fiscal
year on the first of July.
The order is general and will be
felt to greater extent in other points
than here where the force is not so
large." At the Have'ock shops the
order will take at least 1,000 men
from the pay roll and at Aurora the
lay off will affect about the same
number.
It is stated at the headquarters of
the road at Lincoln and Omaha that
the lay off comes as the result of lack

QUESTION OF STUMP
From Friday's Dally
The question has been discussed
as to where the stump that lodged
in the Washington avenue sewer
came from and a report was started
that the stump had been hauled
from the Masonic Home and dumped
into the creek.
Now the facts are that the stump
in question that blocked up the sew
er did not come from anywhere near
the Masonic Home and was one that
was secured when the trees near the
Heisel property were grubbed out
and was hauled and thrown into the
creek, but not by any person con
nected with the Masonic home or
their orders.
