Pictures of the
Home Folks In
terest Many
Showing of the Pictures Taken Here
by Miss Marie Kaufmann
Are Pleasing. T
From Thursday's Dally
Last evening, despite the very bad
weather -conditions that were pre
vailing, a large number of the resi
dents of the city gathered at the
public library auditorium where un
der the auspicees of the Boy Scouts
the moving pictures of many of the
local happenings in the past year
were shown.
The motion pictures had been taken
by Miss M&rie Kaufmann and made
a very pleasing contribution to the
local history and one that was es
pecially interesting as many of those
who had been snapped in the pic
tures were present and are well
known in the community.
The first of the pictures shown was
that of the May day fete at the high
school grounds and in which the
school people had a very great in
terest, the crowning of the Queen of
May, the various dances of the little
folks and the flag presentation by
the Boy Scouts.
Glimpses of the life at the Bos-
Scout camp were also shown by the
camera that was given a rousing
greeting by the Scouts and the
friends who were in the audience
had the pleasure of seeing how the
Scouts enjoy their camp life.
The American Legion convention
day parade was shown and which
had been taken under very unfavor
able circumstances as the strong
wind and dust served to detract
somewhat from the real beauty of
the parade.
Miss Kaufmann had also secured
some very fine views of the Fourth
of July celebration here, including
the parade and the group of the
Grand Army veterans who had
marched at the head of the line in
this pleasant community gathering.
Glimpses of . the speaking exercise at
the court house, the various floats
and features of the day were given
that recalled vividly the many points
of interest of this solendid parade.
A short reel of the Elmwood com
munity day parade was also given
and which showed most pleasingly
the floats and various features of the
community gathering in our neigh
boring town.
Adding to the pleasures of the eve
ning was the two piano numbers
given by Robert Bestor that were
given between the intermissions of
the pictures.
TO SING AT CHICAGO
From Thursday s Dally
Mrs. Marguerite Johnston of Sher
idan, Wyoming, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Emil Walters of this city, who
has been here visiting with the rela
tives following her radio recital over
WOAW on Tuesday evening, is spend
ing a few days in Omaha as the guest
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. J.
Rohwitz, the former the general pass
enger agent of the Burlington.
Mrs. Johnston by her radio offerings
over WOAW in the last two years
has won a very warm place with her
unseen audience, numbering into the
hundreds of thousands, and the an
nouncement of her being on the pro
gram ia always a rare treat to the
radio fans over the entire west. Mrs.
Johnstone after visiting in Omaha
will go to Chicago and will broadcast
a number of offerings from that city.
A great deal of the vocal work of
Mrs. Johnstone has been in the behalf
of the injured and sick veterans of
the world war as she has been untir
ing jn her efforts to lighten the bur
dens of the afflicted in the hispitals in
thew est and her work has served to
make much more pleasant the long
hours in the hospital for many of the
veterans.
BAIN BOTHERS AK-SAE-BEN
From Thursday's Dally
The rain of yesterday kept many
from attending the Ak-Sar-Ben
parade at Omaha and those who took
the trains to the state metropolis or
remained at home are feeling that
they had a great deal better time
than those who made the trip via
auto and braved the morass that was
formerly a highway north of this city.
The road has been in very bad shape
since the latter part of August 'and
each succeeding rain has not im
proved it a particle and the travelers
between this city and Omaha yester
day afternoon and last night found
the going very bad with a number of
cars getting into the ditches and
mud holes.
DRAWS $10 AND COSTS
From Thursday's Dally
This morning in the police court
Michael Grassman of St: Louis was
arraigned before Judge William
Weber in the police- court charged
with being intoxicated and as the
results drew a fine of $10 and costs,
amounting to $13.50 which was paid
and the gentleman released from
custody.
MARTIN STOHLMAN POORLY
From Thursday's Dally
This morning Andrew Stohlman of
Lincoln, was in the city looking after
some business affairs and while here
was a brief caller at the Journal
office. Mr. Stohlman reports his son,
Martin, as having just undergone a
very serious operation at the hospital
nfth. TthvBirinTiR. Martin was tnken
with an attack of appendicitis and
which was complicated with other
troubles that made his operation a
very serious one and as the result the
young man had been kept to his bed!
for the greater part of the time.
Mr. Stohlman also reports that his
son, Leroy, is also still greatly bother-
ed with his leg that has been in bad
shape for the past few years and
which kept the young man at the hos -
pital for a period of several months.
Joseph V arga
Passes to Reward
Very Suddenly
long Time Resident of This City
Thought to Be Improving, Sud
denly Passes On.
From Thursday's Dally
Just as the afternoon was wanning
precisely at 4 p. m., the spirit of
Joseph Warga took its flight. He
died suddenly and yet peacefully af
ter an illness of only a few days
duration.
Joseph Warga was born in Eperis.
near Budapest, Austria Hungary,
December 14, 1855 and when grown
to manhood he decided to seek his
fortunes in America and came direct
to Marblehead Point, Ohio. After
several years at this locyaticn, he
came on west, locating first at Sew
ard, Nebr., and later at Plattsmouth,
where he entered the services of the
C B. & Q. R. R., then called the
B & M. Mr. Warga later returned
to Sandusky. Ohio, where he met and
was wedded to Lena Hermann in
18S0, on the 24th day of November.
The young couple spent several
months at Kalamooza, Michigan and
then returned to Plattsmouth where
Mr. -Warga resumed Tiis -duties with
the railroad as a blacksmith. On
December 15 last, Mr. Warga was re
tired from his duties after 44 years
of continuous and efficient service.
He has since spent the time quietly
in the surroundings of his home and
friends.
Mr. Warga is survived by his wife,
and the following children: Wm. F.
Warga of Denver, Colo.. Joseph C.
Warga, Je3s F. Warga and Miss Anna
Warga of this city. Also a brother.
Michael Warga. residing at Havelock
and John Warga of this city besides

native fatherland.
AGED LADY QUITE ILL
From Thursday's Daily
Mrs. S E. McElwain.'one of th.'
grand aged ladies of this community.
vh now nearing her eight-fifth
year, has for the past few years been
confined to her home by illness, as
the results of the advancing years
and also a severe fall that she sus
tained at the home several days ago.
Mrs. McElwain is one of the oldest
residents of Plattsmouth and her
life here has covered the history of
the town since its inception, and the
many friends overhe community are
trusting that this splendid lady may
recover and be able to be around
as usual in a short time. Last year
Mrs. McElwain was present at the
Boy Scout banquet and gave a short
talk on the pioneer days and one re
mark that she gave them is still re
membered as a real community motto,
"no one can say anything bad about
Plattsmouth to me."
MRS. FRICKE AT HOSPITAL
From Thursday's Dally
Yesterday Mrs. F. G. Fricke de
parted for Omaha where she entered
the Methodist Tiospital at that place
for examination and a course of
treatment as her condition has not
been the best of late and the mem
bers of the family and the attending
physicians decided that a course of
treatment might be of benefit. Dr.
Albert A. Fricke, who is here from
California on a visit, accompanied
his mother to the hospital.
Fritz A. Fricke who has been
troubled with a growth on one of
his eyes is also at the hospital where
he had the offending growth removed
and should be able in a few days
to leave the hospital and return
uuiue.
BOY SCOUTS WELL PLEASED
From Friday's Daily
Last evening's entertainment given
by the Boy Scouts was well attended,
To add to the program were two pleas-
ing violin selections played by Mr.
Harvey Johnson, and accompanied by
Miss Fosler and another by Ira Mumni
which was acompanied by Mr. Fager,
music supervisor. The Boy Scouts
and Miss Kaufmann extend to the
public and musical artists their ap-
preciation for their assistance and at-
tendance which helped to make this
feature a success.
Responsibility
for Road Care in
Engineers Hands
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Writes of Views on the Road
Situation North of Town
From Saturday's Daily-
Thursday night at
10 p. m. the
(writer drove with Mr. E. H. Douglas.,
fpnernl nnn ctnte ni"-h-v PTinn r I
federal and state highway engineer
over the Omaha road to the bri'dge
to observe the condition of this road
, after numerous complaint received at
,' this office Thursday morning from
; automobilists who had been delayed
from four to twelve hours in making
their return from Omaha, due to the
disgraceful condition of this Etretch
of mud and water holes.
We found Mr. Douglas had put
men at work Thursday and concen
trated lys attention on the wicked
stretch just north of the tracks at the
Oreapolis crossing and past the cul
vert, and as a result had put this
little stretch of road in very passable
condition better than tor some
weeks. The entire road was passable
by using skid chairs at midnight
Thursday, as we returned home at
that hour after the rain arid had no
difficulty.
However, as much as we appreciate
the fact that Mr. Douglas has given
that piece of road such prompt at
tention, yet, as we explained to him,
the people of Plattsmouth hold him
entirely responsible for keeping this
fDtire road open for transportation,
regardless of weather, and failing to
do this. It is his business to see that
men and teams are available night
and day, after every rain, to assist
automobilists in getting through.
That was the great trouble Wed
nesday night roads impassable and
no one to help get the drivers out of
the mud a disgrace to the entire
state of Nebraska and no credit to
Mr. Douglas.
Yesterday drove with Mr. Douglas
toward Nebraska City, inspecting the
condition of the gravel just south and
believe that to overcome this condi
tion will necessitate the digging of
deeper and wider ditches on the east
side of the road." If the writer is not
mistaken, most of the cave-in is in
the city limits and requires- the at
tention of ouy local city council for
adjustment. V
Mr. Doug.j? is today having the
cave-ins reu-jved from the ditch,
which will provide only temporary re
lief. The greatest trouble in the entire
road situation has been the "passing
of the buck" being unable to hold
anyone definitely responsible. How
ever, as far as the Omaha road is con
cerned, Mr. Dauglas is responsible for
keeping this passable and open re
gardless of weather conditions, and
his reputation in Plattsmouth de
pends on his ability to see that this
responsibility is understood and the
disgraceful reports concerning travel
between Omaha and Plattsmouth are
eliminated at once.
They say it is fair to give "the
devil his dues." Wish to say that
Mr. Douglas has a large teritory to
cover an extremely difficult situa
tion to handle and we believe is
trying to remedy the present condi
tions. However, we explained that
if he needed more men, more equip
ment, more cinders, more sand, to fix
this Omaha road, we expected him to
take the matter up with R. O. Green
and get the things necessary to ac
complish results, for results are what
Plattsmouth is demanding in no un
certain tones. The entire commun
ity is aroused to a high state of in
dignation over the montns we nave
had to put up with this humiliating
condition and nothing short of ade
quate relief will appease the indigna
tion. Furthermore, this office will be
the first to see that Mr. Douglas is
given credit at home and with his
superiors for good work, and will
leave no stone unturned to see that
the state department is kept fully in
formed of conditions both good and
bad.
The next rain will give Mr. Doug
las the opportunity to demonstrate
whether he is in earnest or not.

Secretary.
