AUDITORIUM IS
NOW IN SIGHT
Legion Post Takes Steps to Acquire
Close-In Lot Hope to Erect
Building Next Year
From Tuesday's T ally
The long-needed auditorium in
Plattsmouth bids fair to become a
reality.
Packed by offers of assistance from
progressive business men of the city
and with a nice nest egg of their own
accumulated thru several years cf
endeavor with carnivals arid other
enterprises, Hugh J. Kearr.s post No.
.", G, American Legion, last night at
its meeting took the first steps look
ing to the making of this project a
reality, probably within the next
year.
A building site committee com
posed of Elmer Webb. Maldon Brown.
Emil H:ld, Robert Rt ed and Frank
Smith was named at the post meet
ing to investigate various close-in lo
cations and secure options on same.
following which a decision will be ar- '
rived at and the purchase completed, j
The prime requirement aside from a 1
close-in location is that anv nlat nfieniovable gatherings of the year
ground considered must be at least i when the members of the chapter cn
O':xl40 feet in size. It is the inten- terta ined the:'r membership, the
tion to erect an auditorium that will i members of the Theodore Roosevelt
take care of both the present and class that is to be initiated this to
ccntemplated future needs in this 'night into the order as well as a
line and more money will be spent
on size than for a highly finished in
t; ricr appearance of ueh a building,
c-s that part could be looked after
Ir.tcr when additional money became
t . ailable. The main thought is to
secure a well constructed, though net
architecturally beautiful building, of
commodious size to provide a meet
ing place for civic and rural gather
ings, conventions, etc. and it is with
this in mind that the committee will
be guided in its consideration of
available sites
Alter tne ground has been pur
chased an architect will be procured
to make rough sketches and estimates
of the cost of such a building.
When it is completed, the audi
torium will. he.. open irca.. to ..public
gatherings of a community nature to
which no admission is charged, but
inasmuch as a building of this kind
must provide revenue to pay for its
upkeep, a schedule of rental charges
will be worked out for the nights it
is used for dances, pay entertain
ments, basketball, political meetings,
etc.
In one end of the building beneath
the balcony, it is planned to finish (
club rooms for the use of the Leirion,
while for the general meeting of the
post the main floor will
open. j

Afternoon.
From Monday's Daily
Dr. C. A. Marshall, until very re
cently a citizen and resident of
Plattsmouth, passed out of this life
at the home of his eldest daughter,
Mrs. Edna Petteys. 423G Lorimore
ave., Omaha, at 10:00 p. m., Thurs
day. October 23rd, 1924.
Dr. Marshall has been failing for
many months and it finally became
necessary for him to go to the hos
pital at Omaha where he has been
most of the time since- the first of
the year. Since the latter part of
August he has been at the home of
his daughter, Edna at the above ad
dress where his wife and daughter
and friends, witii :oving care, ad
ministered io his needs and winshes.
He has been under the care ef Dr.
Bridges during all his illness and all
that human skill- and knowledge
could do, was done.
His going was without pain or
distress and he retained the posses
sion of hi.-, faculties until within a
short time of his last hour;;.
Dr. Marshall was born at Burling
on, Iowa, on the 18th day of Sep
tember. 1S50. and has lived in
Plattsmouth for forty-one years. He
ft-?.s a graduate of Burlington high
-eV.ool and of the Iowa State uni
versity. He crime to Plattsmouth as
j. young nan, and at ence engaged
in the practice of his profession as a
dentist and continued very actively
in that profession for the entire 1
.ears cf hir- residence here. Dr.
Marshall was a public spirited citi
zen and was an outstanding charac
ter in our community, always cast
ing his influence and efforts in the
support of all that was good and
noble and for the best interests of
his home and fellow citizens. He
served continuously as a member of
I- - n4
is
"' 'I.
our school board for twenty-four
years and was a member until he re
signed because of going to Omaha to
Omaha to neck relief from his illnss.
He joined the Presbyterian church
when nineteen years of age and has
been a member ever since. He leaves
surviving him. his wife and two
daughters and three sons: Edna
lusrV.hall Petteys, 4236 Lorimore
street, Omaha; Gladys Marshall
Bull. Sonora, California; Ralph I.
Marshall. Cincinnati. Ohio; Francis
T. Marshall. 4236 Lorimore street.
Onaha; C. A. Marshall, Jr., Dayton,
Ohio, and a host of friends in this
city where he lived so many years.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon from the First
Presbyterian church and were large
ly attended by the old friends and
neighbors, and a weaitn oi novers
attested the high respect in which
Dr. Marshall had been held here.
The Rev. II. G. McClusky. pastor of
th church, conducted the services
rnd musical numbers, consisting of
the old hymns. "Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere" and "The City Four
Square," by the male quartet, con
sisting of Dr. R. P. Westover, II. G.
McClusky. L. O. Minor, and Frank
A. Cloidt. Mr. Minor also sang a
solo, "A Perfect Day." The inter
ment was at Oak Hill cemetery.
A Tribute
The year had passed its noon-tide
and was swiftly falling down its
western sky; autumnal days had
come with all the glory and beauty
that nature, in its supremest efforts.
couia paint and fling across our
pathway, and with the highest
promise of a rich fruitage. At this
time of the year when nature, hav
ing risen to the height of supreme
effort, for the joy of humankind, and
is about to pass out into the calendar
of years counted gone, it is entirely
harmonious and seemingly proper
and right, that a life of usefulness
and unselfish effort should lay down
its " burdens and step out into the
dawn where there shall be no more
twilight.
Dr. Marshall has lived among us
for a decade beyond a third of a
century, and his life has been open
when all could see. His name, his
acts and deeds, his life work, his un
selfish devotion, his sacrifice for
family and friends, are all well
known to all who have resided in
jour city for even a decade. One of
his outstanding services to our com
munity was performed as a member
of our school board where he worked
and toiled continuously for the in
terests of the children of several
generations, for nearly a quarter of
a century, without a penny cf sal
ary, but rich in the consciousness of
having served his fellow men. He
acted during the years of creating
and constructing our new hih
school building. His services were
aiways rendered contcientiously and
eiliciently and his influence cannot
be measured; for the benefits de
rived, through his efforts and sacri
fice, by the young manhood and
womanhood of our community, will
tinge the stream of life far down the
centuries.
All will miss his genial greeting,
his happy face and his warm sym
pathy. The value of a life is not measured
by wealth or power o rule, nor is it
measured by the ticking of a clock
nor by rise and set of sun. but rath
er by worthy thoughts and no;jio
deeds and service given where need
ed appear. By this standard. Dr.
Marshall has lived long. Good
friend, farewell.
A FRIEND.

C0UET HOUSE 13 QUEST
From Tuesday's Daily
The court house for the past fw
Jays has been as quiet as the homo
ireside just before Christmas altho
the quietness is not due to the com

is to occur on next Tuesday.
The officers who are candidates
for re-election are all very busy this
week in attending to their duties
md putting the last licks on the
?lu?ive voter ere the opening of the

others who have a gre.t deal of bus
iness at the court house are also
more or less interested in the forth
coming battle and therefore have
left peace and quiet reigning in the
halls of justice and the offices over
the building. County Clerk George

county and also in getting lined up

a most pleasing place to indulge
their desires this coming season ac
cording to the plans being perfected
by B. A. Rosencrans. and which wili
provide a place where skating can
be indulged in with safely and free
from the menace that lurks ui the
seating on the old Missouri rive.
Mr. Rosencrans is preparing a skat
ing ponel on a part of the land of
Walter Propst that will make a real
skating place.
Mr. Rosencrans is having a large
dam constructed at the east end of
the draw that will aid in the forma
tion of an artificial lake that wili
provide plenty of good ice for the
use of the skaters in the winter
season. The pond will extend well
back and toward the higher land
and from the plans will make a skat
ing pond equal to any in this part
of the state.
Water for the pond will be st"
by pumping from wells and also if
necessary from the city water mains
and will make, when it is completed
a place that will be safe for those
who desire to indulge in the grea'
winter sport.

OBSTACLES IN WAY OF
GRAVELING AT GRETNA
The Greater Omaha committee,
working for the graveling of eight
miles of highway near Gretnn, on
the Omaha-Lincoln road, is finding
its path a rough one.
A week or so ago members of the
committee went to Gretna, where a
mass meeting was held to arouse en
thusiasm for graveling. Petitions for
the improvement w re freely signed.
A hint of future storms came, how
ever, when one farmer at the meet
ing arose and asked amid great ap
plause: "And now when are you going to
invite us farmers to Omaha to tell
you how to run your business?"
Joe Kelley, doing good road pro
motion work for the greater Omaha
committee, visited the Gretna neigh
borhood last week, and discovered
that many who had signed the peti
tion for the graveling were signing
other petitions asking that their
names be taken off the first one. In
spite of this unexpected opposition,
however, the Omaha men believe the
improvement will be made.

of the third year of service here in

pleasant remembrance from the mem

rare
Hallowe'en is the heyday of the su
pernatural. It is the time when spooks
and witches and the like are supposed to
"cut loose."
Some folks are pursued throughout
the year by spooky fears. They are
haunted by a constant dread of what the
next moment, the next day, or the next
year may bring forth.
Those folks are not the ones who
make it a point to see that part of each
month's income goes into a permanent
bank account. There's mighty little to be
afraid of if you keep a growing account
in this strong bank.
