Elks Pay Tribute
to Their Departed
Members Sunday
Impressive Services Held at Lo3ge
Rooms to Remind the Living
of Their Absent Brothers
From Monday's Paiiy
Yesterday in the full beauty of the
ideal winter Sunday afternoon, the
members of Plattsmouth lodge No.
7"!. Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks gathered to pay their tribute
of loving memory to the absent
brothers. The services were held at
the beautiful lodge room of the order
and a large number of the public
were in attendance to enjoy the im
pressive occasion.
The officers of the lodge occupied
their stations and the memorial pro
pram was presided over by L. L. Tur
pin. exalted ruler of the lodge.
The program of the afternoon was
opened by the piano number. "The
Lark," given very artistically by Mrs.
Robert Reed and furnishing a fitting
prelude to the tributes of memory.
The initial services of the after
noon were conducted by the officers
of the lodge and followed by the in
vocation of the chaplain, Michael
Hihl. that formally opened the lodge
to the occasion of the remembrance
of the reparted brothers.
The Masonic male quartet gave
one ot their hoaumui numoers, une
Sweetly Solemn Thought." by Am
brose, and as the last strains of the
song died away, the secretary of the
bulge. Emil Hild. called the the roll
of those who have been called to tne
lodce in the great beyond, the only
number of the local lodee to pass on

since the memorial ci last year oeiug

Following the address of the af-.
trnoon. Mr. James T. Begley sarg:
in her artistic manner the deeply
impressive number, "The Silent
Voice," by Roma.
After the closing ceremonies, the
benediction of the chaplain closed the
service.
The address of the afternoon was
given by Lloyd E. Peterson, of Ne
braska City lodge No. 1049 and was j
a most eloquent and forceful tribute i
to the order and its departed mem-1.
Iters. The address of Mr. Peterson j
was as follows: j
"To Our Departed Brothers" i
"When the hands of the clock point!
to the beginning of the last and

done, our sweet Elk chimes ring out'
with a tender message to the absent, i

Time points to the last and twelfth1

we of this great fraternity gather
to pay tribute to those who have gone
before and passed to the great Pasture
of Pease, where the grass is always1

bright, and where rest is eternal.

One of the most beautiful customs
of this order is the holding of these
i memorial se rvices. wherein we pause
iin our deliberations, however im

simple way attempt to pay tribute to j
those who have departed. It is a

"The Benevolent and Trotectiv
j Order of Elks is founded upon a
(Strong and true foundation. It has
ior us iov.r cornerstones, the tour
cardinal principles. Charity, Justice,
Brotherly Love and Fidelity. Is it
any wonder then that such an order
as this should have spread over these
United States? Is it at all singular
that it's membership is representative
of the best citizenship in every vo
cation of life, wherever a lodge is
instituted, and is it not perfect- nat
ural that the members of such an
order, constructed upon such a foun-
to ha rlovntorl tn. thn Imnni- nf tlinea
1 1925, at the age of 35 years. Brother
Beal enlisted in the navy during the
World War and was a member cf the
American Legion. He served as Sec
retary of this lodge from April 1922
to April 1923 and rendered an in
valuable service to the brotherhood
during his tenure of othce. At the
election of November 1924 the eh c-
Itorate of Cass county, Nebraska,
'selected him as clerk of the district
court of Cass county, but he was only !
jin ofllce about two months when he
j became ill and was never again able
te return to his work. Brother Beal s
presence is missed in the lodge cir
cles: his friendlv counsel is lost to
the e;rder; he was an example of tliej
higiK st type of character and cit :z n-
tlr.p; he entered upon tne ta.-Ks ot
life with fervency and real; he was
trustou t;y nts ne:grjiors ; loved "
his brothers and respected by his
fellowmen. Nrit her associations vithjt,,.
nor tiie ideals for which he stood can ipy;,'
ever be forgotten. The lessons tausht :
us by his life will always be an in- ;iUii
upi rat ion to us. . vt
"Many of our brothers are number
ed among the mifsing as the rolls
are called at the end of each year,
friends with whom we meet no longer
in the lodge room or mingle with
in social festivities. friends who will
no longer welcon-e us with their
cheerful smiles.
"To some of you, they were doubt
less connections by ihe strong ties of
personal friendship, and. to others
perhaps by the rtronper bond of kin
ship, and it is but fitting and just
on this occasion tht we should ex
tend, to nuch of yuu. our most sin
cere condolence. And "ve can assure
you in ail truthfulness, that there
is at least one place, beside that of
your own hearts, where the memory
of tho-,e d'-ar departed ones is ktnt
hallowed and green: there is one
other spot round v. l.ich the flowers of
;:i":rnrv are twined and that srot is
I the lodge room, where their vacant
ichairs. where their broth-rs corgre-
ate their memory will always live.
"Feme departed one. doubtless.
think that
memory's glass reveals to
you ali cf that life. Was there not
a side of that life of which you knew
iittle or nothing? '-You knew little
of the charities he bestowed both in
and out of the lodre room, of the dis
tress he relieved, of the lives lie
brightened, of the hearts he has
gladdened. How could you know?
As the veil of secrecy enshrouds the
charity cf the order, you could not
know.
" 'Full many a gem of
purest ray serene
The
dark, unfathomed
caves of ocean bear,
many a flower was
born to blush unseen
waste it's sweetness
Full
And
on desert air.'
"Those gems and ffowcrs of charity
were hidden to al! eyes save to Him
who sees all thine?, and like the
flowers of the desert, they bloom un
nourishod and unseen, but unlike
those flowers of the desert, they
wasted not their sweet ne?s. for to
one they were fn grant. far more
fragrant and beautiful than if they
bloomed where nil eyes could have

ed all those little flowers, and now
they are woven into garlands by the
Angels, whom Gcd has place to

In our Ketcial sessions, where tne all
pervading atmosphere is life, gaiety
and laughter, where we lay aside the
dull care of business and occupation,
lifTP we all feel, for the time at
i least, we are children once more, and

of Elkdom swells and throbs. It is
the co'.den hour of recollection, the

bought the portion of the roadway to

was an obtacle in the road and as

that the isies might be clearly de

matter will be passed upon at the
hearing on the injunction in the dis

and accordingly law No. 5.-
SS7.632 was enacted that provided
that owners of automobiles that le
sired to operate an auto must se
cure a license number and a plate
that would appear on the auto a
proof that the owner of the car had
complied with the law. As seton a
this measure became a law Mr.
Rosencrans who was then in the
first youthful flush of auto enthu
siasm, hastened to the court hou-e
and plunked down the ten iron men
that gave hime the right to have
No. 1 appear on his car. Since that
time the snows have come and gone,
the flowers have blossomed and fad

cloud of smoke by day and pilliar of
fire by night to guide him on his
wanderings in the faithful Dodge
and later the mighty Studebaker.
Dwellers along the highways be

also between this city and Bellevue
who have seen a streak whizzing
along the road have glimpsed the
No. 1 and said, "ah ha golfing must
be on the bum as Rosey is burning

This state of affairs has ceased to
