NEBR. HAS 2ND LARGEST
MULE AND HORSE MARKET
When the easy going native in
East India is awakened from his early
morning slumber by a noise that is
cros3 between a fog horn and buzz
,paw he may not readily identify the
reveille, but ten to one it was utter
ed by a Missouri canaTy that came
to his distant land by way of the
United States second largest horse
and mule market, located at Grand
Island, Nebraska. Through this mar

ated on and drained. This caused
more or less distress, but it is hoped
in the end will effect permanent cure.
Did the Graceful Act.
The singers who had been in train
ing for some time to deliver the Eas
ter Dawn, the cantata, went to the
home of Joe Baning and sang very
beautifully on the lawn for Mr. Ban
ning, which he sure appreciated. He
extends his very sincere thanks for
the kindlv sone of his kindest of
friends.
Worship on Easter.
The two churches of Union, both
had excellent Easter services on last
Sunday. The cantata which had been
prepared was given at both the
churches and enjoyed by many hun
dreds of people.
At the Baptist church:
The chorus gave their production
at the morning service at the Baptist
church and at which time the Rev.
V. A. Taylor in a very able and elo
quent manner delivered the discourse
to the Masonic lodge of Nehawka,
which is composed of Masons living
at both Union and Nehawka. Kev.
Taylor had prepared a special sermon
for the Masonic order of which he is
a member. The Knights Templar and
all members of the lodge were in at
tendance, making it most interest
ing.
At the Methodist church:
At the morning service there was
large crowd present and services
appropriate for Easter were held,
with a discourse which touched on
the Easter tide, and the rising of the
Lord from the tomb. In the evening
the chorus rendered the cantata as
they had done at the Baptist church
in the morning.
Tells of Progress.
The Rev. W. A. Taylor in the ab
sence of the chairman of the Good
Roads committee of the Union Busi
ness Men's club, made an extended
report of the visit of the committee
appointed for the purpose who visited
the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com
merce and it was the concensus of
opinion that the committee be con
tinued and to work with other com
mittees over the county to secure
the paving of the O street road at
an early date if possible.
The matter of securing free movies
for some thirteen weeks for the warm
weather, on Saturday nights, was dis
cussed. The price would be twelve
dollars per night and would make the
matter free, and would be a great at
traction on Saturday nights. The
matter was left over to the coming
week's meeting.
The following was written by Mr.
Whitworth and dedicated to the club:
Boost, boost, boost, no matter
what the weather;
Boost, boost, boost, we're going
to stick together;
Boost, boost, boost, our work
must never stop,
We will do our best, and will
never rest
Until Union's on the top.
Returns from Hospital.
S. W. Copenhaver who has been
at the hospital at Nebraska City since
the accident when he received a frac
ture of his leg, was able to return
home last week and while feeling
very fair it will be some time before
he is able to get out and go to work
again notwithstanding how ever bad
he wants to.
Sustains Dislocated Arikle.
Glen Albin while climbing a tree
last week had the misfortune to slip
and fall from the tree, in falling he
struck his ankle and dislocated it,
Dr. J. F. Brendel of Murray being
called and reduced the dislocation
and the young man is getting along
nicely at this time.
Graveling Side Roads.
The project which originated with
the farmers south of Nehawka, and
which bore fruit by making two sec
tions of country road to receive
gravel, was brought to a reality on
last Monday when the hauling of
gravel from Union to the county line
road, which will extend one half
mile west, then run a mile north,
ranges of the United States, destined
for agricultural labor and army duty
in the far East. It is safe to say
that animals passing through the
ring at Grand Island are globe trot
ters and powers that are doing their
bit to relieve man labor in many
distant parts of the earth.
For the past few years the sales
of the Grand Island Horse & Mule
company have averaged 19,000 a
year. East St. Louis leads Grand Is
land as a horse and mule market by
about 5,000 head a year. The ani
mals for the GTand Island market
come from practically all states,
thence west again until it shall strike
the road near the home of M; G.
Kime, where it will also intersect an
other line of gravel which is to be
laid from the O street road south of
Nehawka, and will go to the county
line directly south, thence a half
mile west, which will give all of
Cass county south of the O street
road between Nehawka and Union
good roads. Thus are the side roads
getting cared for as well as the main
thorofares. A portion of the gravel is
being hauled from Union and a por
tion from Nehawka.
Undergoes An Operation.
Mrs. Peter Connelly has been quite
ill for some time and was taken to
Lincoln on last Monday evening"
where on Tuesday morning she un
derwent an operation, and is now in
the hospital where she will remain
until she shall be well enough to re
turn home. Mr. Connelly and son,
Ted, accompanied the patient.
Doing Very Nicely.
Mrs. Charles Atteberry, who un
derwent an operation last week at
the St. Elizabeth hospital at Omaha,
for relief from appendicitis, is re
ported as getting along nicely, and
has made so good progress that she
was placed in another room at the
hospital where she was not needed
to be served by a special nurse as
was the case in the beginning.
Local Achievement day
The extension club of Union ob
served their local Achievement Day
in the Baptist church last Tuesday
afternoon, April 22nd. About sixty
ladies and a goodly number of little
folks were present. Each extension
member had invited a guest and in
spite of the threatening clouds, the
ladies responded to the invitation
most loyally. All were entertained
in the church auditorium by a most
interesting program, arranged by a
'program committee and was given
in the following order: Opening
song, "America the Beatiful," Mrs. C.
B. Smith leading, with Miss Robb at
the piano, followed by prayer by
Mis3 Robb. Address of welcome by
the president, Mrs. Ivan Balfour; An
interesting little sketch of "The Lit
tle Brown Church in the Vale" was
read by Mrs. Smith, after which all
joined in singing this beloved old
song. Then a most wonderful story
was read by Mrs. Charles Garrison,
entitled, "An Epoch of the Northern
Prairie 5 Cents for Luck." This
was especially interesting as it
brought out the thought of "Achieve
ment" most vividly and we always
enjoy Mrs. Garrison's readings. We
were next favored by a vocal solo
rendered by Mrs. C. B. Smith, in her
most pleasing manner, entitled, "Old
Fashioned Dear." Mrs. P. H. Rihn,
our very efficient project leader gave
a most instructive talk on "Aims of
Project Work."
The front of the church audi
torium was filled with articles that
the club had made during the past
year, and Mrs. Rihn explained in de
tail each lesson that had been stud
ied. Many beautiful pieces of needle
work were displayed, which showed
what extension work can accomplish
in only a few months. In closing
Mrs. Rihn left a3 her last thought,
the slogan "If its good pass it on."
Mrs. George Lutz then told briefly
of her pleasant vacation last summer
at the mother's camp at Camp Brew
ster. The ladies were then invited to
go to the dining room where the re
freshment committee served light re
freshments. The kiddies enjoyed
their little lunch immediately, which
was milk and some cunning little
"bunny cookies." The next meeting
will be May 6th at the library room,
under the bank, with Mrs. Ray Frans
as leader of the program.
CLUB REPORTER.
Delivering Wheat.
On Tuesday as well as Monday
Walter Johnson was delivering wheat
to the Stites elevator, some of it was
four years old and had been in the
bin since then as well as some three
years old. Other wheat he was deliv
ering also was stacked two years ago
north and west of Nebraska. The
mules go mostly into southern states.
They stand the hot climate of the
south better than do horses. The
United States government uses thou
sands of mules at army posts and
buys a lot of them in the Grand Is
land market. Choice young mare
mules are shipped each year to East
India by the British government.
Many of these are purchased as
Grand Island. Last year mules from
lGrand Island were sent to Spain and
Italy for pack duty. The horses sold
in the Grand Island market are dis
tributed all over the' eastern states,
nearly alj the best ones going to
and one year ago, and was threshed
on last Monday.
The wheat was of good color with
plump grains and solid, and a por
tion of it tested 59 pounds per the
struck bushel. This looks pretty good
and allows the marketing of a goodly
amount, all coming from one farm.

The barns and yards cover about
ten acres and there are thirty acres
devoted to feed lots. The success of
the Grand Island market it due to
its central location in the United
States and to its excellent railroad
facilities. It has trackage connec
tions with the main line on the Union
Pacific and the Black Hills line of
the Burlington.
During the war the market reached
ed its peak of activity. During that
period sales of horses and mules aver
aged about 37,000 a year. Cattle are
also sold at the Grand Island market,
but it is for horses and mules that
the market is known near and far.
Contribution
of German Race
to Religious Life
The Effect of the Influence of the
Germans of Religious life
in America
The following is a very interest
ing article arranged by Kev. O. G.
Wichman, covering the.effect of the
influence of the Germans on the reli
gious life in America:
It is impossible to exhaust the sub
ject given to me. It is also impos
sible to treat the subject in an un
biased way.
Show me the person who is able
to write a history of religion or of
any country with an objective mind
and I show you one who is able to
treat this, subject with an unbiased
mind. Who is able to take ji cup of
water out of the Mississippi river at
St. Louis and tell me how much of
this water came from tlx; Missouri
river and how much from the ori
ginal Mississippi? The contributions
of the different races and nations to
American life are just as well mixed
as the waters of these two rivers.
A man may have com" directly
from Germany and his influence over
some denomination in this country
may be very transparent and yet this
man's religious Iif- may have found
his human origin in English. Or vice
versa an English man.
Yet it is claimed that after the
union of the two rivers the waters
of each are clearly visible and may
be recognized from the waters of
the other river for several miles.
Germans have come to thi.i coun
try seeking religious liberty as early
and earlier than the pilgrim fathers
came from England.
October 6, lCri, a group of Men-oniter-,
landed. They were received
by William Penn and Franz Paslor
ius, a young lawyer who had coir.e
here as their advance agent. These
people founded a German town in
Pennsylvania.
A remarkable document is the pro
test of this colony against slavery.
This document set the Quakers to
thinking and in 1711 the Quakers
more practical than their German
partisans tried to influence legisla
ture against slavery. Still at that
time the government found anti
slavery measures unadvisable. The
first bible ever printed in this coun
try in the year 1713 was a German
bible, published by Christopher Siur.
This antidated by forty years the
printing of any other bible in any
other language in America. The
Menonites were followed by the
Dunkers in 1749.
At the same time we find the
Moravians or Herrnhuters doing mis
sionary work among the Indians.
Lutherans under their pastor ' Josua
van Kocherthal escaped 1708 the
ravages of the French King, Louis
the 14th of France and established
a settlement on the Western Shore of
the Hudson river. A pamphlet pub
lished in 1750 states: The Germans
have schools and meeting houses in
almost every township thru the prov
ince of Pennsylvania and have
churches and other places of wor
ship in the city of Philadelphia more
than all other persuasions together.
German sectarians founded Zoar
and Harmony in Ohio. Economy in
Pennsylvania. Bethel and Aurora in
Missouri, Amana in Iowa, and other
colonies.
Before even the constitution of
the United States was written, Ger
man influences were strong in this
country.
A great influx of orthodox Luther
ans was caused by the establishment
of the Prussian Union 1S17. The
Calvinistic and Lutheran churches
were then united into the German
State church under the leadership of
the Hohenzollern. The Hohenzollen
were always strong for German
unity. For this reason undoubtedly
this family was marked by the en
emies of Germany and only thru
socialistic and communistic influ
ences their opponents succeeded in
throwing them over.
Other German states followed and
the Evangelical Alliance was begun.
But it was the signal for orthodox
Lutherans who are against union
with other churches to emigrate to
this country.
A number of synods were started
with the principle "Lutheran pupilts
for Lutherans only Lutheran altars
only for Lutheran communicants."
Besides the Lutherans came the
United Brethren started by Otterbein
the Evangelical Association or All
brights Allbrechtsbrueder, also the
church of God Weinbrennerians.
Such numerous church bodies un
doubtedly have greatly influenced
the religious lime in the U. S. and
Canada. Tint much about history.
German churches are very active
in benevolent work in organized
charity.
In 1836 the fir.t deaconesses were
dedicated to their work by Pastor
Fliedner in Germany. A Deaconess
Home was built and the work spread
over all countries.
Philadelphia heads the movement.
The movement has spread to different
denominations.
The Evangelical Synod has dea
cones homes in FairVDault, Minn., in
Milwaukee, Wis., in St. Louis, Mo.,
homes for the aged, homes for the
epileptics and so on. This is called
home mission work.
In Germany this kind of work is
very extensive and after the war
probably more so than before, because
there are more people in Germany
now.
There are also hemes for the home
less, the tramps, the drinkers. At
present these institutions are in many
cases much hampered, because tne
patriachal government has been re
moved and the socialistic govern
ment is less favorable to the church.
Yet I venture to say that the move-
i 1 n a j-s a nn1 ft f !
mem may overlap me uimu oui
stronger here. I

interesting feature. There is another
contribution to protectant church
life. That H the observation of the
eh v. re h year. Easter and Good Fri
day are generally observed in our
country at present. In many larger
cities Evangelistic services ar being
held during Lent. Also Christmas
is bcintr celebrated much more and
the profound symbol of the Christ-nn-i
tree arid the St. Nicholas are bet
ter understood and more diverted
in to their right channels. Next the
German church. The reiitious life
is much influenced by the hymns and
a number of beautiful hymns have
come from the German hymnals. The
choral melodies have dignified church
music.
The writer has passed his active
life in this country was even trained
in an American seminary and has
been in no official contact with Ger
many during his life.
There may be more special traits
that have come over from the oM
country tra cable here.
Discipline may be one. The church
life of the German descendrnts moves
in a very quiet orderly way. The
order in church is never disturbed.
As it was said in the beginning,
who can trace the origin of the great
streams of religious life.
We are under God who prescr::'
the pure religion in strong orthodo-
churches and floods the flower besr
meadows of this world in spite or tne
liberal interpretations with religious
truth. The stream will unite with the
ocean of eternal life notwithstanding
the strongest athestic tendencies,
which are now prevalent in our
country. Undoubtedly German mys
ticism and English emphasis of more
public life are a blessing for this
country.
The above remarks are debatable
hut they may be useful to the better
understanding of religious life in
this country inherent and brief as
they are.

Stiff Contest
Seems Likely on
Rivers Measure
Fropcsal to Take Over New York
Canal Is - Under Fire
To Floor Friday
Washington, D. C, April 22. A
bitter contest over the provision in
the pending omnibus rivers and har
bors bill that tho federal govern
ment take over the Erie-Oswego ca
nal frcra New York slate loomed to
night, with several members from
northwest states announcing plans
to oppose the proposal when the bill
reaches the floor of the house on
Friday.
The measure, carrying authoriza
tion fcr tho expenditure of some 110
million dollars in river and harbor
development over the country, was
approved today by the rivers and
barbers committee, and will be for-
( mally reported to the house tomor
; row.
! The opposition of the northwest
members is based on their conten
tion that the acquisition cf the Erie
canal in itself is uneconomical, and
in addition would retard if not pre
vent completion of the great lakes
St. Lawrence ship channel. Mem
bers of the senate already have
registered opposition to he proposal
on similar grounds.
The northwest group, which is ex
pected to form the nucleus for the
opposition, includes Representatives
Burtness (X. D.), Levitt (Mont.),
Knutson and Selvig (Minn.), Hull
(Wis.) and Hudson of Michigan, all
republicans.
The North Dakotan has obtained
permission to speak for an hour be
fore the rivers and harbors bill is
taken up, providing other pending
business can be cleared away by
Thursday. He said today he expected
"to show by abundant proof that tho
New York canal is not worth taking
over." World-Herald.
WILL UNDERGO TREATMENT
James Stockham, one of the local
world war veterans, who has been
quite poorly for some weeks suffering
from a general breakdown in his
health, will leave Thursday for Hot
Springs, South Dakota, to enter the
U. S. Veterans hospital at that place
for treatment and care. It is hoped
that the rest and care at the hospi
tal will place the patient back in
shape to resume his usual activities
and make it possible for him to re
turn home in improved health.
