From Wednesdays Darty
Through the careful management

there will be another dividend de
clared in the next week or ten days,
Mr. Spurway, who was here from

The amount of the dividend will be
ten per cent and the checks for the
various payments have gone into
Washington to be approved at the
office of the comptroller of the cur
rency and when they are returned
the former depositors will be noti
fied and given their payments.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Erma V.

street, was very severely burned
about the arms, face and head and
as well as one of the lower limbs
as the result of a fire caused at the
home by an oil stove on which the
evening meal was being prepared.
The victim of the fire had started
I the stove and gone to the home of
her neighbors, the George J. Mei-
singer family, to aid them in their
work, and on her return home she
found the oil stove had set fire to
a portion or the woodwork In the
kitchen. To save the home Mrs. Mc
Crary carried the blazing stove out
into the yard and in doing so her
clothing caught fire and she rushed
back into the house with her gar
ments ablaze and made attempts to
beat out the fire, being assisted by
one of the neighbor boys who was
near the home and saw the fire
and it was with difficulty that the
blaze was extinguished on the per
son of the lady and the alarm was
then given to the fire department.
Mrs. McCrary was taken to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. George
Tartsch, neighbors, where medical
aid was summoned and the injuries
dressed and the victim of the fire
made as comfortable as possible al-
tho sufferin& intensely from the ef
fects of the burns that she had re-

SCHOOLS HOLD DEBATE
From Wednesday's Daily
Showing improvement over last
weeks contest against North Omaha,
the Plattsmouth high speakers met
Omaha Central in a double-header
here vesterday afternoon and eve
ning. In the afternoon, Plattsmoutn
affirmative on the state question:
"Resolved that Jury trial in criminal
cases be abolished," Robert Living
ston, Mary Swatek and
Charles
Nowacek matched arguments with
David Saxe. Lawrence Simon and
Rose Stein of Central. In the eve
ning, Gerald Sperry took the place
of Charles Nowacek for the local
and met the Central trio: Harold
Saxe, Martha Lippett, Lowell Har
ris on the other side of the question
The evening debate was the better
of the two from the standpoint of
effective argumentation and speak
ing. The Platter speakers were not
embarrassed by the fact that they
were debating against a trio of three
year veterans.
This makes the third successive
year that Plattsmouth and omana
Central have met in debate and each
occasion proves to me more pleasant
than the former. Miss Ryan, the
Central coach, and her splendid de
baters made a fine impression upon
those who heard or took part In
the debates.
Miss Ryan invited the Plattsmouth
team to come to Omaha In January
and also asked to send another team
down here in January. The district-
ling of the state has not been madt-
yet so Plattsmouth does not know
what teams will be met in the con
ference race. Plans are being made
to have either South or Technical
here next week and Thomas Jeffer
son the week following.

C. W. Clark
Ends Life Last
Night at Union
Proprietor of Hotel Found In Bed
tit,;., ct-i.-j ir.-
With Wrist Slashed and Vic
tim Had Bled to Death
From Wednesday's Dally
This morning when efforts wert.
made to arouse C. W. Clark, pro
prietor of the Union hotel, members
of his family found him dead in
bed, lying in a great pool of blood,
he having slashed his wrists and
bled to death.
The discovery of the body was
made at 5 o'clock and Dr. Claybaugh
at once called but the life had long
since gone from the body of the
unfortunate man. Dr. Claybaugh
called County Attorney W. G. Kieck,
but as the cause of death was clear-
ly one of suicide there was no in
quest held in the case.
Mr. Clark was a long time resi
dent of Union where he has been en
gaged for a number of years in con
ducting a restaurant and of late
years has had charge of the "upper"
hotel in the town of Union. In re
cent years he has not been fully
himself and his condition has often
given the family a great deal of
worry as to his untimate fate and
which he has chosen to end by the
suicide.
Christian Westervelt Clark was
born in Fremont county, Iowa, on
August 12, 1866, and has spent his
lifetime in that section of Iowa and
Nebraska City and Union, his par
ents coming to this county at an
early day and settling near Union and
where Mr. Clark has since resided
and was numbered among the best
known residents of that place.
The deceased is survived by the
wife, two sons, Ira and King Clark,
and one daughter, Ora, all of Union
as well as two brothers, Fred Clark
of Union and William Clark, who was
formerly located at Weeping Water.
AN APPRECIATION
The time for enrolling members in
the Red Cross has come to its close.
It was impossible to give every in
dividual of our county a personal in
vitation to loin, but through the
local newspapers and the radio every
one learned about Red Cross and the
urgent request for members.
Reports from the different com
munities are not all in but headquar
ters of the national organization
wishes to extend through our chapter
since thanks and appreciation to
those who volunteered their services
in taking roll call. We trust they
have gained that satisfaction which
comes with a service of mercy which
is world-wide through Red Cross. We
wish to include in our appreciation
the newspapers of our county that
tributed space in their papers for
Red Cross items. We can not real
ize nor know the value of this ser
vice in its influence with those who
read them, but we do know it is a
commendable service and has done
much for the growth of Red Cross.
We wish to thank those organizations
who kindly presented Red Cross and
its need far members to the members
of their organizations. Surely with
this co-operation and stunch interest
of all these and those individuals en
rolling as members Red Cross cannot
fail in its work in our county. Mrs
Henry A. Tool, Sec.-Treas., Cass
County Chaper, A. R. C, Murdock,
Nebraska.
