LEGIONAIRES HAVE
SPLENDID TIME AT
BELLEVUE MEETING
Neatly a Score from Here Make the
Trip Arrive Home at a Late
Hour Ahead of Rain
! From Thursday's Daily:
Last nitrht was another gala occa
! sion in American Legion circles of
(southeastern Nebraska, when there
j were gathered at Bellevue some 300
or more ex service men. for the big
meeting arranged by the Bellevue
Legion post, by way of returning the
compliments accorded them in the
past by the Plattsmouth. Omaha.
South Omaha and Council Bluffs Le
gion posts. Present at the meeting
were a score of local Legion mem
hers. who made the trip in cars
leaving here at about 7 O'clock.
The fore part of the evening was
given over to a program that in
cluded brief responses from the dif
ferent posts represented and for the
Plattsmouth aggregation. County At
torney Joe Capwell did the talking
and registered a decided hit with his
short, yet snappy, speech. Joe was
given a vociferous send-off just bt
fore he- began his talk, which sort of
took him off his feet, but he came
back strong despite the efforts of
the home town boys to abash him.
Following the program a short ses
sion of the indoor or kiddy kar polo
was played for the amusement of
the visitors and after this the floor
was cleared for the dance that was
to follow.
The Omaha post sent down Its
drum and bucle corps and they kept
things livened up between times, as
well as furnishing several members
cf the dance orchestra.
The call to feed was sounded at
about ten o'clock and the mess line
assumed such large proportions that
it nearly put the mess strgaints to
route, but the day was saved by re
inforcements sent in by the South
Omaha Legion Auxiliary.
The Bellevue post, composed al
most entirely of disabled ex-service
men who are students at the voca
tional training school there, is one
of the live wire Legion posts in the
state and one that is noted for Uj
ability to do things.
The post is interested in Becurinj:
the retention of Bellevue on the list
of active training schools maintain
ed by the veterans bureau ( rumors
of its intended discontinuance being
circulated every now and then in the
Washington press dispatches) and in
their fight the Bellevue post will
have not only the support of the Ne
braska Legion, but of business men
and organizations who realize the
importance of having here close to
home a suitable training school, in
stead of having to send Nebraska
veterans away eff to some other state.
The Bellevue school is ideally locat
ed and the rehabilitation work it is
doing fully justifies its existance
and retention.
Commander Lehmer of the Belle
vue post is a royal good fellow and
left nothing undone that would ad
to the pleasure of his visitors last
night.

long incisions had been made on the
outside of her legs by Dr. Clyde

performed early in May after Mrs.

to several surgeonr. including Dr.
Roeder, who had told her it would
be impracticable. She was not con
vinced, and appealed to Dr. Roeder,
again, when he consented to under

"I eonsider that It was very suc

have flesh removed from the inside

be necessary, and I am
undecided if
I shall undertake it."

CHAMBER OF COM
MERCE APPROVES
TAX Oi GASOLINE
Adopts Resolution Endorsing the
Program of Good Roads Asso
ciation Last Night.
rrom Friday's Daily
The Chamber of Commerce last
evening held a short session at the
auditorium of the public library,
and owing to the fact that many
of the business houses were open
for the evening, the attendance was
not as large as had been hoped for.
Frank H. Beeis, of Fremont, the
field representative of the Nebraska
Good K:uds association, was present
land briefly explained a part of the
I Plans ol the association lor the pro
motion of a six year good roads Dro
gram and the raising of funds to
match the government appropria
tions and secure the benefit of the
sum that has been assigned to Ne
braska. The two chief points expounded in
the remarks of Mr. Beels had to do
with, first, the raising of money, and
second, the practical expenditure of
it by a nonpartisan road commission.
In the first matter he urged the en
actment of a gasoline tax that would
assist in providing revenue for the
good roads work and which it is
claimed would bring in some $2,000.
(K 0 to the state each year, based on
a two cent tax per gallon on the
gasoline consumed. This tax would
mean that those who used the roads
the most were to pay their share of
the road maintaining in proportion to
their use. This mithod of taxation
has been adopted in thirty-six states
and the only remaining states that
do not have it are those in the Mis
sissippi and Missouri valley, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa. Nebras
ka and Missouri being among the
states that have not as yet adopted
the method of having those who use
the roads pay for their upkeep.
Mr. Beels stated that it was hoped
; lo ue ao,e wiin mis pas lai 10 nave
the automobile license fee reduced to
a small flat license on ah cars and
trucks as the cars would pay in their
B consumption
Another ct tm
lie mewrsres -:-sed by
the speaker was the creation of a
non-partisan highway commission,
serving without large salary and
which would give real businesslike
service in seeing tnat the funds for
road work were judiciously expend
ed over the state.
On motion the Chamber adopted a
resolution approving the imposition
of a gasoline tax and also the crea
tion of the non-partisan highway
commission as outlined by Mr. Beeis.
to look after the administration of
the afiairs of the road department.
The Nebraska City Chamber of
Commerce last week adopted a reso
ldtion similar to that adopted here
last evening and this is being gen
erally done over the state, as there
seems to be a demand for the gasoline
tax Which the legislature laid down
on passing when tailed in special
session for that purpose a few years

CITY THREATEN
ED BY BAD WIND
STORM LAST NITE
This Section Fortunate in Storm
Passing that Sweeps Over a
Large Area Last Night.
This morning at 1 o'clock there
rolled up from the northwest a dense
bank of clouds that swept down with
the greatest of rapidity and in shape
and color resembled the clouds that
betoken a tornado or cyclone, but the
storm broke north of this city and
did very little damage here, although
the wind reached a high velocity for
several minutes and to add to the
unpleasantness of the storm the elec
tric lights were put out of commis
sion for an hour and a half and the
only illumination was that of the
intense lightning that made the
storm appear even more serious.
At other points the storm was
very serious and the town of Schuy
ler in Colfax county is today isolat
ed from the world as all telephone
and telegraph lines are down and the
full extent of the storm cannot be
learned although it has been one of
very great destructiveness, the mea
gre reports from that locality state.
Des Moines, Iowa, was visited by
a tornado in the early hours of the
morning that caused damage that
will mount into thousands of dolkars
and two persons were very seriously
injured, but owing to the crippled
wire conditions there it was impos
sible to learn if any of i.he residents
of that vicinity of Iowa had been
killed outright in the storm.
A cyclone visited Pierre, South Da
kota, and at Sioux City. Iowa. a
great wind storm did much damage
to property and cut off that city
from the outer world by sweeping
away the telephone and telegraph
lines, making it impossible to ascer
tain the full extent of the storm
in northwestern Iowa and vicinity.
In Omaha the storm was not so
serious and as in this city, the dam
age was largely confined to the blow
ing down of trees and minor damage
without the serious loss of property
or injury to persons often attendant
upon such severe looking storms.
ENTERTAINED FRIENDS.
Last evening Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Young entertained a few friends
very pleasantly at their home in the
south portion of the city at dinner,
and a most enjoyable time was
found in the splendid hospitality
that is characteristic of the Young
home.
