CATHOLIC DAUGH
TERS HOLD CARD
PARTY LAST NITE
Large Number of Tables and Much
Interest Taken in Results of
Bridge and High Five.
From Saturday's t)ai'y
Last evening the card party given
at the Knights of Columbus hall
proved a real success both socially
and financially and the members of
the large party found a great deal
of enjoyment in the pastimes of
bridge and high five.
The hall was arranged attractive
ly in the decorations of the spring
season that made a pretty setting
for the occasion and the committee
n charge, composed -of Miss Mae
Murphy, chairman, Mrs. F. M. Bes-
tor, Mrs. F. G. Egenberger, Miss
Minnie Guthmann. Mrs. A. G. Bach,
Mrs. W. A. Swatek and Misses Anna
and Josephine Rys, saw that all of
the attendants had a most enjoy
able time.
There were seventeen tables of
bridge and eight of high five in op
eration and the utmost enjoyment
was had by all of the participants
in the evening's pleasure.
The prizes were offered by the
local merchants and the winners in
the bridge contests were: Mrs. J. A.
Donelan, first, aluminum pan; John
V. Hatt. second, doreen; Mrs. John
Hatt, third, pound of coffee; Paul
Lempke, fourth, movie ticket; Dr. J.
A. Griffin, fifth, movie ticket; Miss

of pears; Dr. II. C. Leopold, fourth,

During the evening the committee
served dainty refreshments that ad
ded to the pleasures of the evening.
THE PATH0-NEUR0METER
From Saturday's Daily
Dr. Joe J.-Stiball, local Chiroprac
tor, has just installed one of the
latest and most scientific instruments
known to the healing profession.
Owing to the cost of the instrument.
the few doctors operating one gener
ally charge an additional fee, but Dr.
Stibal is not going to charge for its
services providing a prospective pa-!
tient takes a regular course of ad
justments. The theory of the instrument is
that every live nerve or cell tissue
conducts energy or electricity, a dis
eased or piuched nerve does not, or
very little, therefore, when the cur
rent is turned on a weak nerve, it
will immediately take more electric
ity and register the degrees on the
dial, while if it was normal it would
already have the current and will
not conduct it. Diseased areas can be
detected on any part of the body with
accuracy. This instrument wil di
rect Dr. Stibal unerringly f.o the per
formance of eveir more "proficient
work than heretofore, which has
been very satisfactory in this local
ity. LEAVES TOR MISSOURI
Edward Fullerton, wife and little
son, and Howard Fullerton will leave
Sunday by auto for Buffalo, Missouri,
where they have been called by the
serious illness of the grandmother of
Ed and Howard, Mrs. M4ry Fuller-
!ton, who Is not expected to live. The

NEW POWER IS
USED BY STATE
RAILWAY COM.
First Application of Amended Stat
ute Results in Boosting
Percentage.
From Thursday's Daily
The railway commission Wednes
day made its first use of the power
conferred upon it by the 1923 legis
lature of the right to fix the com
pensation of telephone companies for
toll terminal service. Prior to that
time the law provided that com
panies should be paid by the toll
companies 15 per cent on outgoing
messages and 10 per cent on incom
ing messages as commission for
handling them. The new law made
these percentages the minimum, and
provided that they might be increas
ed by agreement or by submission to
the commission.
The Comstock Independent Tele
phone company was the complain
ant.. It handles toll messages in
Comstock for the Crownover com
pany, which owns a nine mile toll
line running from Sargne to Com
stock. Connection is made by Com
stock a mile from its exchange. Mes
sages between the two towns form
the bulk of business, and as the flat
rate is ten cents, the old commis
sions give the Comstock company
but a cent and a half oh outgoing
and a cent on incoming messages.
Averring that this was inadequate
compensation for all that was done,
the Comstock company asked for 40
per cent on outgoing and 10 per
cent on incoming calls.
The commission increases the out
going percentage to 25, and dates
the effective time of the order back
to March 1, 1924. It saj's that the
cost study presented is not satisfac
tory, hut that the Comstock com
pany is manifestly entitled to re
ceive a large revenue. The company
is satisfied with its arrangement
with the Dell on the old percentages
because of the longer average haul
cf messages, but it would be neces
sary to have commo nownership of
all lines in order to justify the argu
ment that what it loses on short
hauls it makes up in long ones. Un
der the circumstances it will order
the increase stated.

HIS
Youth Did Not Learn Until He
Reached Manhood the Full Facts
About His Parents.
rrom Thursday's Hatly
II. G. Hayes, who insists that his
real name is George Howard Gauger,
has appealed to the supreme court
from a judgment of the district
court of Frontier county that he is
not the son of Louis Gauger and.
therefore, not entitled to share in
his estate.
Louis Cauger, it is admitted by
both sides, was married in Grand
Island, where he was then clerking
in a store, on September 6, 1S93, to
Mary Zimmerman. The claimant was
born six months after the marriage.
When Lou 39 Ganger proudly told his
friends that he was the father of a
toy, some of them pointed out to him

the impossibility of it being the fruit
of his marriage.
According to testimony cited in
the documents filed by the repre
sentatives of the estate, Gauger be
came greatly excited and procuring a
revolver told his wife that he would
kill her if she did not tell him who
was the father of the child; that she
told him it was Charles Hageman,
who had been in charge of a Union
Pacific hotel in Ogden and for whom
she had been working, and that on
Gaurger's demand the child was
handed over to the Nebraska chil
dren's home society. He forgave
everything, and a family of children
were reared.
The society found a home for the
baby in a family named Hayes, who
reared him. After his father's death
but before the estate was wound up
Hayes discovered the facts of his life,
and this was the firsr information
that the children of Gauger had of
the existenccof the young mau.
In a brief just filed on behalf of
the estate and in opposition to the
claim a great deal of testimony is
cited by attorneys to prove that as
