"ON THE
From Friday's t"ily
If the funds that are raised for the
graveling of the K. of T. highway
from thi3 city to the Otoe county
line are sufficient, it is hoped to be
able to take up this summer the com
pleting of the section of road from
the federal highway into the town of
Murray and make a hard surfaced
road into that enterprising little city
as well as the main highway. This
is one of the desires of the good roads
boosters here who are planning the
launchipg of their project in the
next few days. This work will, of
course, depend on the funds avail
able and the grading of the road be
ing accepted by the state and federal
road departments.
The sentiment for the hard surf
acing of the K. of T. road is very
strong and is the logical step in the
plan of the creation of permanent
roads as the check of the highways
in the county showed that the D. L.
D. at Greenwood was the heaviest
l traveled and the K. of T. stood sec
ond in the check and it is the nat
ural sequence that this should be
the next road to be made into a grav
eled highway as it is all ready for
the work and the grading and drain
age carried out under the require
ment of the 6tate and federal gov
ernments. The work will also almost equally
divide the amount of the graveled
roads in each of the three commis
sioner districts as there are already
nine miles in the third district and
the new K. of T. project will give
eight miles in the second district and
ten miles in the first district and, is
a very fair and just equitable divi
sion of the road work and will
practically complete these two im
portant highways, leaving the way
clear when other roads are brought
up to the standard demanded, to be
graveled and hard surfaced.
The value to the county of hard
surfaced roads cannot be overesti
mated and where they have been
tried they have brought the greatest
of results.

FINANCE COM
MITTEE TQ HAVE
CHARGE OF DRIVE
Financing of Community Building to
be Undertaken with $15,000
Goal as Objective.
From Thursday' Dallv
Ten active members of the Legion
comprise a Finance committee ap
pointed at the post meeting last night
to have charge of the financing cam
paign for the new community audi
torium, and there was set as the ob
jective of this drive the sum of $15,
000 less than half of the architect's
estimate of the cost of the building.
The building site, now owned by
the Legion, and the balance of the
cost amounting to as much or more
than is raised by popular subscrip
tion, will be the Legion's contribu
tion toward giving the city the com
munity gathering place it has so long
needed. In addition to the post's con
tribution as a whole, individual mem
bers will give amounts varying from
$5 to as high as $100 each.
The Finance committee, headed by
Henry G. Soennichsen as chairman,
and Ed Fricke as vice chairman, has
been empowered to call to their aid
and counsel non-Legion members,
who will give them the insight of
their experience in past endeavors of
this sort and some of the leading
business men and friends of the Le
gion in this city will be called to
serve in such advisory capacity on
the committee.
Legion members of this committee
are M. D. Brown, , Father George
Pierce, John Hadraba, Emil J. Hild,
Robert Reed, A. H. Duxbury, Otto
Lutz and Tom Walling, Jr., thus giv
ing general representation among the
business, shop and other interests of
the Legion, and augmented with
those non-Legion membors called to
serve in an advisory capacity, should
result in a combination of great ef
fectiveness. The committee Las been left free
to devise its own plans for putting
the drive over and will get busy at
once.
The architect's drawing of the com
pleted building, will be here Friday,
and will be displayed in the window
of the Nebraska Gas and Electric
company. A cut will also be made
and published in the Journal at a
little later date.
When the drive is under way, the
names of all contributors will be pub
lished in this paper and the enthu
siasm recorded as the mercury in
the big thermometer at the Bates
Book store corner begins to rise to
ward the goal wil; add interest to
the campaign.
Last night's meeting was a most
enthusiastic one and in addition to
the community building project,
which of course received the great
est attention, the matter of organiz
ing a "40 and S," otherwise known
as "40 Hommes, S Cheveau," was
discussed and an application for a
charter will be secured at an early
date. The "40 and 8" is the play
ground of the Legion and to be eli
gible for membership in it, a man
must not only be a Legiopaire, but
he must have done at least one good
turn for his home post.

R. D. Denham, Cedar Creek, Neb.
Long Time Resident of Cass County
Dies at Lincoln Laid to
Rest at Weeping Water.
Mary Louise Hobson Jameson was
born April 15, 1864, at Mount Pleas
ant. Cass county, Nebraska.
She was the daughter of Wm. H.
and Temperance Goodman Hobson,
her father having emigrated from
North Caroline and her mother from
Indiana.
Mrs. Jameson's entire life was
spent within the state of Nebraska.
She attended school at Mount Pleas
ant and lived at home until she was
married.
Among her early school teachers
were Judge Ramsey of Cass county,
and Otto Mutz, now of Lincoln.
On the 15th day of May. 1SS4, she
was married to Thomas Fremont
Jameson, who had five years before
emigrated from Trumbull county, O.
Their first homo was established at
Weeping Water, and here they lived
until about 8 years ago when they
i moved to Lincoln, where their home
is still located. To this union eight
children were born five sons and
three daughters. Four of the sons
died in infancy; Master Vern died at
11 years of age. The three daughters
survive Mrs. Margaret L. Brendel
lives at Murray, Neb., Mrs. Mary
Candle Bates at Rising City, and
Miss Grace Geneva Jameson at home.
Mrs. Jameson united with the
Methodist Episcopal church when 19
years of age, and has been a member
I ever since.
Her faithfulness to Kingdom in-
: terests was the outstanding feature
of her life. Long is the list of
young women who rise up to call her
blessed. Her friends were limited on
ly by those who came to know her.
She was for many years a member
; of the Order of the Eastern Star.
i At the time of her death she was
i 60 years, 9 months and 14 days of
age.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
husband, three daughters, two grand
children, and two brothers A. B.
and William Hobson, both of Weep
ing Water, and friends everywhere
she has lives.
Mrs. Jameson's health began to
fail five years ago. She suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis, and from
this time on had been gradually
failing until her decease, which oc
curred Thursday, January 29th.
In all her long illness and at tim'.s
great suffering, she was patient and
cheerful, always looking on the
bright side of things, which was a
strengthening encouragement t o
those who administered so faithfully
during her long illness.
Many of the friends came from
Lincoln and other places to attend
the funeral services which were held
in the M. E. church in Weeping Wa
ter. Rev. M. W. Rose of Stroms
berg conducted the services. He was
assisted by Rsv. C. I. Rose of Weep
ing Water.

From ThursdavV- I'm II v
While war has been threatening
on the near east front for the past
week, the government at Angora has
been shaking its fist at the govern
ment at Athens, it was not thought
that this peaceful land of the United
States was to be rudely drenched in
blood and wrath, yesterday after
noon when war reared its ugly head
and the fist not of the mailed var
iety, however, appeared, it was
startling to the residents of the
business section of the city.
Our "War" was short lived as a
Mexican revolution and hardly had
the first notes of warfare rang out
that the calm of peace followed.
The warfare occurred at one of
the places of business in the city and
the participants were the proprietor
of the aforesaid place of business
and a gentleman who was soliciting
for another business house of the
community. The warfare was purely
commercial as many claim was the
inciting motive for the world war
and the dispute over the justness of
the claims involved led to words and,
then, oh the pity, blows that brought
blood and warfare.
As the first blows were struck one
of the spectators who was present
fled and in his haste almost tore out
the doorway of the place retreating,
while the others remained and drew
near as blow followed blow, first a
right to the face and which was
countered with a swift jab to to the
body and those who were near the
scene of combat did not marvel that
Benny Leonard had laid aside his
crown while yet there was time. The
fight was progressing merrily until
one of the participants fell against
a chair and was rendered groggy and
then the battle was stopped y one
of the friends who was present and
the participants separated to listen to
the more calm and thoughtful wis
dom of those who had gathered. For
tunately no razors were used.
TVTA-RT.S IMPROVEMENTS
From Saturday's Daily
Dr. P. T. Heineman, the dentist in
the Hotel Main building, is just hav
ing installed a fine new violet ray
machine that he will use in his work
in the office in treating dental cases
and in his practice will find the ma
chine a great aid. The violet ray has
become a great asset to the members
of the medical and dental profes
sions and the new equipment that
has been placed in the office of Dr.
Heineman will be a much appreciat
ed aid to his work.
