Throughout Stores
From Thursday's Dally
The coming of Christmas which is
but twelve days away, is marked in
the various stores of the citv with
the offerings of the holiday season
and gives the shopper a real oppor
tunity to select their gifts whether
of the beautiful art gifts, practical
remembrances, jewels, and the more
practical gifts for "her" or "him."
The offerings of the 1929 season
in all lines is very beautiful and
embraces almost anything that might
be desired in any kind of a gift and
with an array of offerings in the
local stores that furnished a large
assortment for the shopper to select
from and find real satisfaction in
their purchases in business houses
that are standing back of their
sales to the customers.
Not only are the stores display
ing the special Christmas gift goods
of all kinds but the groceries of the
city are displaying all of the dainties
that go into the making of a real
Christmas feast as a part of thy

of the last minute shopping and find
satisfaction in making their selec
tions at leisure so that when the
Christmas time comes they can rest

their loved ones with gifts that are
appropriate and well selected.
Whn selecting your Christmas gift
or the daily needs of life the mer
chants of Plattsmouth are prepared
to give you real satisfaction in every
line that you might desire and at
the very best prices that you can lnd
anywhere in the world.
FINE CHURCH HISTORY
Father George Agius, pastor of the
St. John's Roman Catholic church oT
this city has proved himself not only
a strong and efficient preacher of
the gospel but his work as a writer
of religious documents and history
end his publications rank high in the
line of religious literature.
The "Union" of Carnegie, Pa., has
the following review of his work
that certainly gives the fullest ap
preciation of the work, "Tradition
and the Church." the review being
from the pen of a minister of one
of the protestant churches of that
section of Pennsylvania, Rev. S. H.
Cunningham, D. D. ot Carnegie.
"Tradition and the Church," by
George Agius. D. D., J. C. D. Pub.
bv The Stratford Co., Boston, Mass.
Pub. 1928. $3.50.
A book for Catholic and Protest
ant to read and enjoy. This book
covers a wide field of facts in the
history of the Church. It shows that
much, in fact most, of the tradition
in the Protestant Churches is inher
ited from the Roman Catholic
Church. Then the author shows the
source of the tradition in the Cath
olic Church in a most interesting
way. We would like to see this book
widely used. I am recommending this
book to the ministers in the brother
hood of which I am a minister, and I
would like to see all those interest
ed in religion and the Church read
the book. All will agree with the
position taken by the author, but
the historical content must be fac
ed, and there is a basis for the rem
edy of many religious problems. The
reviewer of this book promises you
this, that you will learn many things
fro mthis volume that are worth
while.

ROADS GROWING WORSE
From Thursday's Paliv
The arrivals in this city from out
side points and especially those who
are living in the localities served
by dirt roads, are reporting that the
condition of the roads are gradually J
growing worse following four days
of wet and disagreeable weather and
in many cases it is difficult for teams
and wagons to get through the mud
let alone autos. The roads had been
getting in fair shape following the
long wet period several weeks ago.
but this latest visitation of the wet
weather swept down on this section
and now the roads are being made
just that much worse as the result of
the rain and continued damp weather.
To add to the general disagree -abliness
of the situation the torn
up and unsettled road conditions
help to make travel bad in and out
of this city and but little prospect
of any great improvement until
spring when the work can be opened
up to allow the completion of the
road and again restore good road
to this section. As the situation now
stands the residents of the city and
the nearby territory are traveling
as little as possible.
HELD FOR TRIAL
From Thursday's Daily
At Omaha Wednesday before U
S. Commissioner Mary Mullen. wa3
heard the complaint against George
Stoll. Sr.. of this city, who was
charged by the district attorney
with violation of the Mann act.
The government took the testimony
of the woman who Stoll is alleged
to have taken to St. Paul. Minnesota,
last July end remained there two
months. In this testimony it was
adduced that the woman was the
mother of seven children and that
Stoll had induced her to leave home
last July and go to St. Paul, she
stating that she was tired of drud
gery of the home she had left. The
woman claimed that after the two
months she had ran away from Stoll
and returned to her home. The wit
ness alleged that Stoll had later tried
to get her to go back to him and
had beaten her on several occasions.
After the taking of the testimony
in the case Miss Mullen held the
defendant, Stoll, for trial and fixed
the amount of the bond at $500.

ing water from the kitchen stcve,
the steam or a small portion of the
water splashing out on her hand
causing her to drop the kettle ana
the contents was thrown over the
young lady and her mother as well,
inflicting several very bad burns an'!
which will keep both of the ladies
inactive for several days. The scald
ing water splashing on the lower
limbs of the ladies caused severe
burns that necessitated the service
of a physician to dress and the ladies
were made as comfortable as possi
ble. The aged father of Mr. Shellen
barger, who is making his home with
his son and family, excited by the
accident also suffered a severe heart
attack and was in very serious con
dition for some hours but rallied
nicely and is now showing some improvement.

ANNOUNCE GAME
From Saturday tt Dally
The basketball season opened last
.evening at the local high school gym
j with North high of Omaha being the
! guests and victors over the Platters
; by the score of 31 to 12. but despite
(the large s-ore the local team showed
j well and rives promise of a good
; season as they hit their stride.
I For the Platters Captain Roy
Turner looked the best and the vet
eran guard was the most effective
of the locals in penetratiing the line
of the Vikings giant team, as Coach
Jackson tMs year has a team of
huskies that made it impossible for
the locals to get anywhere effective
ly. John Galloway, left forward, was
the most successful in the scoring
as he garnered three field goals,
with Turner taking one and Garland
McCleary one field goal and two
free tosses. McCleary showing up ex
ceptionally well for his first year.
The Norsemen had Mason, veteran
forward as their skipper and this
player again was the high point
man for North with six field goals.
Elliott at right guard was one of
the effective cogs in the machine of
North as his passes were swift and
accurate to his fellow players and
with their height made the inter
ference of the Platters of little ef-
fectivness.
In the opening of the game the
