the high school, the pleasant event
being held at "Clover Lodge." the
r.ecson country home west cf this

rt the home, the rooms and table
decorations being in a color scheme
cf pirl: which was carried out in
the p.'nk snapdragons and the can
dles that lent their soft and pleas
ing g'ow to the settings of the din

The reports from the St. Cather
ine's hospital in Omaha state that
Mrs. Ida Tritsch, who has been there
for a period of several weeks is still
quite poorly and her condition does
not seem to show any appreciable

MEN'S CLUB MEETING
From Friday's Daily
Last evening the Men's club of the
St. Luke's parish met at the under
croft of the church and the meeting
was one of the greatest interest as
the problems of the church in the

plans for the religious advancement

into all sections of the nation

Father George Pierce, rector of the
church. After the regular routine
business had been disposed of by the
members the social features were

PLAN FOR ENLARG
ING SEWER SYSTEM
AT C B. & Q. SHOPS
made so that water that flows down
through the valley can be diverted at
its source and eliminate the possi
bilities of the water running through
the shop yards, as It has at several
times in the past.
These changes and improvements
in the sewering at the shops will
make it much better for the condi
tions there and will be one of the
best moves for the elimination of
much of the surface water that finds
it way down from the hills.
The extension of the sewer has
been considered for some time by the
railroad and Engineer Darrow was
here today looking over the plans
with Mr. William Baird. the shop
superintendent, who has been one of
the strong movers for the better sys
tems of handling the surface water
after the heavy rains.
APEIL WAS WABM MONTH
April was a warm montli and was
marked by excesses in temperature
and sunshine which permitted farm
ing activities and the progress of
crons to oe irom ten ciays to iv.o
weeks anead of the average season.
Th j,mount of rajn was slightly
Kfs than normal. The total ram-
fail for the month was about ho
iuches in the eastern and soucnern
put? of the state and over four in
ches in scattered areas in the ccn
tral and southern sections. Less
than an inch fell in western Ne
tiaska. The highest temperatures for the
past month were btween 76 and
V 4 degrees which was on and about
the twenty-second day of the month.
Winter wheat made good progress
during the month of April and it
varied from poor in the southeast
to very good in the southwest. Seed
ing spring wheat, oats, and barley
was very largely completed and much
of the early sown was up by the mid
dle of the month. Corn was planted
in the southern counties by the
middle of the month and at the lat
ter part planting was beginning in
the central counties.
Pastures and alfalfa were in good
condition during the month. Pota
toes were beginning to come up and
beet planting was beginning by the
end of the second week of April.
Alfalfa, sugar beets and garden
truck suffered frost damage on the
last three days of the month.
'bubltngton TEATNS ON

MISSOURI PACIFIC '
RAILROAD PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS
Will Do Some Bemodeling to Their
Passenger Station as Weil as
the Surroundings.
From Friday's Daily
The Missouri Pacific passenger
station on West Walnut street, which
has long been in need of several ma
terial changes to make it a comfort
able and pleasant place for the em
ployes and the traveling public, is to
receive a number of changes that
will go a long way towards makin
it a modern and suitable place for
the use of the traveling public.
The matter of the changes in the
station have been suggested several
times and at last the maintenance
department of the railroad has found
it possible to take up the matter and
place the plans for enlarging the sta
tion into operation this coming sum
mer.
One of the first steps that will be
taken is that of the remodeling of the
office of the building. At the pres
ent time the office is located in a
room that runs the entire width of
the building and separates the la
dies' and gentlemen's waiting rooms.
Now under the plans for the remod
eling of the building there will be
an extension of four feet built on
the office portion of the building on
the eart, a passage way built be
tween the north and south waiting
rooms and in this passageway will be
located the ticket window, eliminat
ing the present double window sys
tern and making it much more con
venient for the cashier in handling
the sales.
To the east of the new passage
wav there will be large and mod
ern toilet rooms placed providing for
the accommodation of the men and
women that travel over the road and
which will open from the waiting
rooms. This feature will allow the
elimination of all unsanitary sur
roundings cf the station.
There will also be installed mod
ern sanitary drinking fountains at
the station for the accommodation of
the traveling public and eliminating
the old oaken .bucket that has long
reigceJ supreme.
Another of the plans proposed but
not entirely decided upon is the plac
ing of a heating plant in the build
ing that will allow the elimination
of the old fashioned stoves, three of
which have been in use for years in
an attempt to keep the building
warm but which has proved a task
too great for the stoves to accom
plish. In addition to the changes in the
building there will be a new drive
way p'prrod fr the east of the
r-p.si of the building that will run up
to the platform of the station and
permit the passengers from cars to
aiisrht direct on the platform instead
of having to climb the steep mbank-
ment.
Mr. J. S. Butterfield. landscape en
gineer, has a number of plans for the
beautifying of the grounds and al
ready has taken several steps that
go a long ways toward making the
surroundings much more attractive.
Thi3 work is of necessity very slow
but will give some lasting results
when they are completed and will
make the station a place of real
beauty.
