F. J. Hennings and wife, who have
been spending some time In Okla
homa, where they have land inter
ests in the vicinity of Minco, are very
much pleased with the country there
and particularly with that section in
which they have interests. While
there they visited a number of the
larger cities and were very much
pleased with what they saw of the
country and it is not improbable that
they may decide to later remove to
the Sooner state to make their home,
as they feel the climate there is much
better than here in Nebraska. The

Plattsmouth
Elks Observe
25th Birthday
Notable Occasion Marked With Ban
quet at the Main Hotel Was
Largely Attended.
From Tuesday's Daily
Last night for a space of a few
brief hours the dial of time war
turned backward by the members of
Plattsmouth lodge No. 739, Eeno
velent and Protective Order of Elks
to observe the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of the institution of the lodge
in this city which occurred on No
vember 21, 1901, the old time mem
bers of the order furnishing the
keynote of the recollections of the
days gone by, many of the incidents
being a part of Elk history, filled
with joy and warm fellowship that
the passage of time has gilded in
tender memory.
It was in the summer of 1901 that
a group of Plattsmouth residents, H.
R. Gering, J. S. Livingston, .H. N.
Dovey, W. J. Streight, T. E. Par-
mele, W. J. Stadelmann and F. R.
Ballance, members of Omaha lodge
No. 39, decided that they wished this
city to have a lodge of Elks and
these were the signers of the appli
cation for a charter of a lodge here
that was granted in November and
the lode duly constituted.

The Banquet.
The members of the local lodge
with their guests assembled at the
Hotel Main last evening for the ban-
quet which was decided upon as the
ed almost fitting recognition of the
event.
The dining room of the hotel waf
arranged in the streamers or pur-
. 1 " - ..
ple and white, the Elk colors, these
American flag was suspended and on
the tables the purple candles and
the purple and white fall flower?
formed a pleasing touch to the scene.
The menu was exquisite in itF
preparation and served very delight
fully by the ladies of the St. Mary's
guild of the St. Luke's church and
this feature of the occasion was one
in which the ladies can feel a very
pardonable pride at the success and
thoroughly enjoyable repast that war
arranged for the Elks.
E. J. Richey, exalted ruler called
the banquetors to order and intro
duced Judge James T. Begley as the
toastmaster of the occasion and in
which position the distinguished jur
ist fitted most admirably and his in
troductions of the speakers were well
chosen and clever.
In his opening remarks Judge
Begley expressed the pride of the
members of the order that embraced
some 1,000,000 membership over the
country and stated the fact that
Plattsmouth Elks could feel well
pleased with the twenty-five years
that their lodge had been in exist
ence. The toastmaster paid a very
glowing tribute to the charter mem
bers, a number of whom are still
active in the order and whose labors
have been in a large part respon
sible for the advancement of the
order here.
Dr. J. S. Livingston, one of the
veteran F.lkn and the Recnnil pxnltert
ruler of the order was called upon
for a response to the "Charter Mem-
bers" and gave a short outline of the
old time history of the lodge from
the day of its inception. At the time
of the installing of the lodge here
they had secured rooms over where
the Arries pool hall is now located
and it was there that the first ses
sion of the lodge was held when
the 55 members of the first lod
were given their right and title as
Elks. Of the original members there
were twenty that had passed on to
the grand lodge above and thirteen
were still active in the order, others
having retired from the order and its
work in the passing of the years or
had moved to other cities where they
are still active in the order. Dr
Livingston told of the migration of
the order from the Arries building
to the Coates block in 1903 and
to the present Elks building
in 1913. The work of the Elks in
patriotic and civic lines was alsr
touched upon briefly by the speak
er.
Henry R. Gering, first exalted
ruler in a few remarks stated hi
pleasure at meeting the friends of
years ago and urged the members tc
more fully appreciate the Elks and
to live their lives as true and loyal
Elks in every sense of the term.
E. J. Richey, present exalted ruler
was introduced to tell a littfe cf the
Elks of later day as he had been
the head of the order when the pres
ent building was erected and in this
movement Mr. Richey stated tha'
the co-operation and support of the
members had given the inspiration
that had allowed the erection of the
building with indebtedness an 3
which was now reduced to a few
hundred dollars. Mr. Richey urged
more attendance at the meetings a.c
the means of securing additional
benefits and Improvements to the
building that housed the order.
L. C. Gibson of Omaha, who as
loyal knight of Omaha lodge, war
here twenty-five years ago, express
ed his pleasure at enjoying the oc
casion and also gave several very in
teresting stories that enlivened thr
occasion.
Frank E. Green,, state editor of
the Lincoln Star and secretary o'
Lincoln lodge No. 80, who was r
resident here for many years war
called upon and gave a short address
that was a beautiful tribute to the
old home and the tender association
that-it held for uie . speaker. .Hie
emotion and the tender sentiments
of the home times was particular
ly touching to the older member?
of the Elks and the friends of years
ago of Mr. Green. His tribute to the
memory of the old friends, living
and gone was a touching one and
given with the heartfelt sincerity
of the speaker while his exemplifica
tion of the teachings of brotherly
love was a wonderful inspiration tc
every Elk.
Walter Nelson, secretary of Oma
ha lodge, who has been here in oc
cations of note in local Elk circler
was much enjoyed and on whicli the
speaker particularly i touched on the
dedication of the Elks club housr
here and his memorable auto ridc
with "Zeke" as well as relating oth
er incidents of the pleasant asso
ciation of Omaha and Plattsmoutli
Elks.
Judge James M. Fitzgerald, exalt
ed ruler of, Omaha lodge was heard
in a short and very pleasing address
in which he complimented the local
lodge and urged them to strive for
greater goals and to carry the teach
ings of the Elks as an inspiration
for their future lives.
The main address of the evening
was given by T. B. Dysart of Oma
ha, vice president of the state Elks
association and who had as his sub
ject "The Greater Mission of Elk
dom." The lateness of the hour made
necessary the speaker curtailing hi?
very inspiring remarks but in the
time that he was speaking he held
the closest attention of the member?
of the banquet party. The speaker
urged the Elks to lead the campaign
for greater respect for constituted
authority in the state and nation and
cited as an example of the raising
tide of lawlessness the Omaha court
house riot of 1920 and the fact that
law abiding people had stood by and
allowed a small part of the assembly
inspired by the mob spirit to wreck
their vengence. It was a breaking
down of law that the nation should
be trained against and which the
Elks could assist by creating a
greater inspiration of the love of
country and its laws. The speaker
also stressed the spirit of brotherly
love and the work of the Elks in
the doing of good to all mankind.
The banquet was closed by Exalted
Ruler Richey with a short appeal to
the membership for a greater part
in the lodge and its work.
The committee on arrangement?
for the very delightful banquet was
composed of R. W. Clement, L. L.
Turpin and Dr. J. S. Livingston,
while the decorating committee was
composed of B. A. Rosencrans. Law
rence Sprecher and C. C. Cotner
both of these committees contribut
ing a great deal toward the success
of the affair by their splendid hand
ling of the details of their work.
During, the course of the banquet
a program of musical numbers was
given by Harvey Johnson, violinist '
and Miss Vyral Fossler, pianoist.
