The life of the driver of an auto

when a heavy and blinding fog set

made the highway a sea of the dense

powerful car lights were able to pen
etrate only for a short distance. The
drivers of cars were compelled to
travel at a very slow rate of speed
and many were unable to keep in the
roadway at times owing to the fog.

HOLD PLEASANT MEETING
From Thursday's Dailv
Last evening the Parent-Teachers
association of the Wintersteeu Hill
district held a very fine meeting at
the school house and which was very
largely attended by the members de
spite the fact that the weather was
most unpleasant.
The meeting was opened with the
community singing by all of the
party and which placed the members
of the party in the best of mood for
the fine time that followed.
Mrs. Rachael Stone and Mrs. Han
nah Milbern favored the members of
the association with a very enjoyable
piano number, "Sunny Jim," which
was very much enjoyed by all of the
party.
The lesson of the meeting was in
charge of Arthur Blunt as leader
and which brought out a number of
interesting discussions on the sub
ject of the evening.
After the business session a relay
race and other games were enjoyed
by the Jolly crowd until a late hour
when the serving of refreshments
came as the climax of the efening
and brought to the close the very
lne time that was arranged by the
committee in charge.

Since the formation of the lodge
here many distinguished figures have
appeared in the lodge room of No.

Masons have long since moved their
quarters to the building on the block

and attractive lodge rooms in the

Anniversary Program
Last evening the members of No
6 entertained at their lodge rooms
in honor of the seventieth anni
versary and had to enjoy the occa
sion the members of the ledge and
their families as well as several
guests of distinction in the Masonic
order of the state.
The seventieth anniversary of the
local lodge of the Masons proved an
event of the greatest pleasure to
those in attendance and fittingly
marked the long years that the or
der has been in existence in this
city.
The anniversary program was pre
sided over by William A. Robertson,
past worshipful master, chairman of
the committee, who introduced the
various features that marked th
more than pleasing program.
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev. II. G. McClusky, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church as the fit
ting opening of the evening.
With beauty and charm the Ma
sonic quartet composed of Frank A.
Cloidt, Raymond C. Cook, H. G. Mc
Clusky and R. W. Knorr gave two
numbers, "Out of the Dusk to You"
and "I Don't," Mrs. Knorr serving as
the accompanist.
Mrs. J. A. Capwell and Mrs. W. A.
Robertson were heard in two very
beautiful piano duets, playing the
overture from the opera "Martha"
as well as the inspiring number,
"The Palms."
Leslie W. Niel, past worshipful
master of No. 6, gave a short ad
dress in which he gave an accounting
of the affairs of the lodge and its
condition at this time which made
it one of the most progressive lodges
in the state.
Dr. R. P. Westover was heard in
two very pleasing vocal numbers.
"Invistus." and "Duna," Miss Ves
tetta Robertson serving as the ac
companist. A very inspiring address was giv

ing on the part of the work of Ma
sonary in this community.
Mrs. E. H. Wescctt gave two very
delightful vocal numbers, "A Toast
to No. 6" and "Auld Lang Syne",

1101ZE BADLY DAMAGED
From FrMay's Dailv
The residence property owned by
the John II. Albert estate and lo
cated at tho corner of 7th and Gran
ite street, just northeast of the Pres
byterian church, was badly damaged
yesterday afternoon by fire and the
house will require considerable ex
pense to place back in its former
condition.
The residence was occupied by the
Otto Keck family and the fire which
originated in the upper part of the
house, gained a good start before it
was discovered and spread very rapid
ly through the space between the
ceiling of the upper rooms and the
roof and a greater part of the roof
was damaged by the flames. The fire
department were able to check the
flames and preventing the destruc
tion of the entire building but the
loss, which is partially covered by
insurance will be considerable.
It is thought that the fire was
caused by the electric wiring and
the flames spread rapidly through
the upper part of the house.
Through the efforts of the firemen
and neighbors a great deal of the
furniture of the Keck family was re
moved from the lower floors and es
caped the effects of the fire and wa
ter that was necessary to use in
stamping out the blaze.

ENDORSE JUDGE BEGLEY
From Sattiritnyt ram-
L;if n;;-!it at (Jbnwood the Blue
and White r.t Plattsmouth added an
other score to their list of victories,
when they nosed out the fast Iow;i
aggregation and chalked up a ' to
21 win.
The game was staged in the large
rmory building and the floor whMi
is also used lor dancing, proved .i
stumbling blof-k for the locals in the
opening half of th.- game and with
the familiarity oT tho Iowa players
with the floor they were able t.
work with greater speed than the
Platters.
The Platters were trailing th
Glenwood quintet 15 to 8 at the half
and the crown of victory seemed to
be restirg with the Iowans. but in
the second half of the game, the
Plotters staged a great fight and with
their usual fast form were able to
pull down the lead of the Glenwood
five and sweep out in front with a
brilliant victory.
The first score for the Platters came
when Perry captured a free throw,
and a few moments later Galloway,
Blue and White guard rated up to
wing in a field goal. Wescott and
Perry each secured a field goal later
in the half, which with another frc"
throw by Perry made the sum total
of the scoring in this part of the
game. Roberts, center and captain
of Glenwood. was the chief factor in
the scoring machine of Glenwood, as
he broke through the Plattsmouth de
fence for three field goals and with
two by Jackson, right forward, made
the chief factors of the Glenwood
lead.
When the Blue and White quintet
came on for the second half, then'
was much doing and the Glenwood
quintet found that they had prac
tically a different team fating them
and which outplayed and outsmart
ed the Iowans at all stages of the -game.
In this part of the gam?,
Roberts, Glenwood captain, was ban
ished from the game with four fou'.s.
Perry and Wescott featured in the
basket shooting in this half and Ilutt
and Iladraha each added a basket
apiece, while Galloway, Wescott,
Hatt and Perry were successful in
their gift shots.
The game was referced by NichoU
of Malvern, Iowa.
