GIVES FINE TALK
From Tuesday's Pally
Last evening the members of the
Young Men's Bible class of the First
Methodist church had a very Any
time at their rooms in the church on
the occasion of the visit here of J. P.
Cleland of Omaha, well known trav
eler and a representative of the Unit
ed States postal service, in which
he has had the opportunity of a
great deal of foreign travel.
The topic of the delightful infor
mal talk of Mr. Cleland was that of
the comparatively unknown country
of Siberia, which to the average
citizen brings a vision of snow, cold
and fur garbed residents, but which
under the graphic description of Mr
Cleland became a country of wonder
ful possibilities and resources and
the inhabitants placed in a real light
before the listeners. The speaker
gave a general outline of the coun
try which is immense in size, its re
sources of coal. iron. gold, and oil, all
of which are practically in virgin
shape and little developed by thr
hand of man or the great processes
of machinery that has brought all or
our great resources to the forefront
The speaker also discussed the
political life of the country, the cen
turies of the oppression of the ezar
istic regime that had kept the people
in the state of serfdom and made the
life of the individual subject to the
whim of the autocrats that had ruled
with a rod of iron. He also describee1
the changes that had occurred in the
great revolution of 1917 and the wars
that had devastated Siberia in the
struggle of the Soviet and White
armies in the days of 1919-1920 and
which had made the whole of Siberir
a great battle ground of warfare be-
i tween members of the same race of
people.
After the very enjoyable addres?
the members were served delightfu'
light refreshments which had been
arranged by W. G. Kieck. who wa:
the host of the class on the occasion

the edge 4 to 3.
The pame was a pood one through
out and the fielding honors of the
day may justly be given to Hans
Newman at short and Alex Schliscke
who labored in the right garden,
with Herb Klauschie at first. Hans
was having a real day and made one
brilliant stop and throw in the ninth
inning that was a real thriller, while
Alex stopped one of the colored boys
at the plate by a hard and perfect
drive.
Both Swanson and Henderson
pitched a good stiff game with Hen
derson striking out nine and Swanny
five, but the colored hurler gave a
number of passes

The visitors grew chesty also in the
opening of the second inning when
Mananger was passed to first as the
first man up and who was registered
on the sacrifice fly of Owens to cen

In the second inning Plattsmouth
also checked up one. Herb Klauschie
hitting a good clean one to short
center and being sacrificed to second
by Mason and from where he scored
tn the error of Young.
It looked like the show was over
in the fourth when the local lead
was increased two more runs as the
colored folks grew demoralized and
in the opening of the inning Herb
Klauschie was safe on the bobble of
Lee at first, advancing on the wild
peg of Young and finally registering
when Young had a passed bail. Bill
Mason drew a walk to first and pil
fered second and from where he raced
home on the clean hit of Glen Spider
to the center garden. This was the
last of the scoring of the locals.
In the eighth Hicks drew a walk
and was scored on the hit of Law

The last score of the visitors was
in the ninth inning when Mananger
third saeker picked on one of
Swanny's drives and placed it over
the right field fence for a home run

visitors.

LOSE TO MALVERN
From Monday's Tally
Yesterday afternoon the town foot
ball team journeyed over to Malvern.
Iowa, where they met defeat at the
hands of the team of that place by
the score of 10 to 0 in a hard fought
game.
The locals were shy several of their
principal players and which handi
caped them to some extent and also
the fact that the team has had but a
few workouts aided in the defeat.
Jerry Adam. Frank Sedlacek and
Chet Renner were large figures in the
work of the locals.
The Malvern team found effective
ness in the aerial attack on the lo
cals and made five of eight passes
good for a great deal of ground, a
twenty yard pass figuring in the first
touchdown for the Malvern team.
The locals will play at home on
next Sunday when they will have the
West Side Athletic club of Omaha in
what promises to be a red hot jiame
and -well worth enjoying.

II. M. Soennichsen.
one of the best
known retail merchants in this
part
of the state of Nebraska, had a very
grave experience yesterday afternoon
with a tarantula that for seme time
made the condition of Mr. Soennich
sen the source of a great deal of
worry as to the result of the bite of
the vicious member of the spider i
family. j
Mr. Soennichsen was engaged inj
working at his grocery store and was j
unwrapping a bunch of bananas to;
hang them up for display, and rcaeh-
into the wrapped up fruit tc
secure a liotd to lit t them from the
i
crate he came in contact with the
tarantula that vented its displeasure
! by biting the merchant on the right
hand.
While a very few moments was
lost in getting to the office of a
to swell. The upper portion of the
arm was secured with a tourniquet
that stopped the blood from circulat
ing in the lower part of the arm and
one of the fingers was lanced and the
blood that had gathered in the fore
arm forced out and the swelling in
the arm reduced. The hand still
bears the effects of the bite of the
giant spider but the patient is doing
nicely and was able to resume his
activities last evening a few hours
after the experience and is showing1
little ill effects of the ordeal.
The tarantula was captured and is
safely caged in a jar and preserved
in alcohol where it may be viewed
by callers at the store and a warn

TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL
From Monday's Pailv
This morning while T. H. Pollock
was en route from this city to spend
a short time over in Sarpy county on
some business matters, he was sud
denly taken very ill and for a few
moments was in very serious condi
tion. Mr. Pollock seemed to have
suffered a form of heart attack that
rendered him unconscious and which
but for the fact that friends were
passing might have had most serious
effects.
As Mr. Pollock crossed the auto
bridge that he owns he felt badly
and when reaching the north side of
the bridge his condition grew worse
and he fortunately retained his fac
ulties sufficiently to run his car to
the side of the road before relapsing
into unconsciousness. Albert Funk
was a short distance behind the car
of Mr. Pollock and noticed the car
as it was swung to the side of the
road and recognized Mr. Pollock's
car. He stopped and was startled to
find Mr. Pollock unconscious. Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Scott were also pass
ing and stopped and the announce
ment was sent to this city of the con
dition of Mr. Pollock and R. F. Pat
terson. E. J. Richey and Dr. R. P.
Westover at once drove out to the
bridge and where treatment was
given the patient.
Mr. Pollock after being revived
was brought on home to this city and
after a few days of rest and quiet
will recover from the effects of the
attack, it is thought, without any
serious effects.
Late reports from the bedside of
Mr. Pollock this afternoon state that
he has gained very rapidly in strength
and is able to converse readily with
the members of the family and seems
to have come through the heart at
tack without serious effects. He is
anxious to resume his usual activi
ties but it Is thought by the attend
ing physicians that he best remain
at home for a few days.
It is thought that the attack of the
heart was brought on by the con
stant work of Mr. Pollock in his
many business affairs and which de
mand a greater part of his time.

HAVE STOLEN CAE ALARM
From Wednesday's Pally
This morning Sheriff Reed and
Constable Tom Svoboda had several
moments of excitement when a report
was received by the sheriff as to an
abandoned car near 12th and Granite
street and which was thought to be
a stolen car as it bore a Lancaster
county number and residents in that
locality at once visioned car bandits
and all of the like and as the result
the sheriff was soon called into ac
tion. After an investigation it was
found the car was the property of the
Pepperberg Cigar company of Lin
coln and this strengthened the be
lief that the car might have been
stolen. Later the matter was cleared
up when the traveling salesman of
the cigar company appeared on the
scene and claimed the car, he havinp
ran out of gas last night while in the
west part of the city and as the oil
stations were closed he decided tc
wait until morning to start the car
out and had gone on to a hotel and
was unaware of the excitement that
had been created until he came on
the scene this morning and found
the authorities in possession of the
car.

graveled as yet are the Red Ball
highway west from Murray Mid the
highway from We ping Wat r to con-nee-t
with the "O" str-t ro;,d. and
whic h roads will be grave b d in tb
course cf time by the state.
This leaves a large number of th
towns that are not given graveled
service and one of the main highways
of which is that section from Platts
mouth to Louisville and from Iouis
ville precinct to Greenwood and also
into Cedar Creek, as well as inte
Murdock, Alvo. Mynard. Manby and
other of the towns that have no
gravel connections.
This county that is large in area
and wealth and splendidly fixed in i.
financial way should be able to take
up the problem and give the resident
a fine system of county roads that
will serve all sections.
The good roads movement is not
a sectional matter but one thM in
terests all parts of the county and v
general, program that will cover
some years could very readily be'
handled without any increase in
taxes or the laying of exce:ive bur
dens on the people of the county.

the new land of the America--. The
date is a holiday in a gre-a! mrny
of the states atid in Nebraska with
the exception that this is on1 of the
holidays on which the courts can

open at the court house1 this morning.
The banks of the city Mere closed
