of the bank and disappeared in a
very few moments, while C. B. Smith,
assistant cashier, was in the vault.
The person taking the money had
evidently sized up the situation as at
the time W. B. Banning, the cashier,
was out of town and Hallas Banning,
who was assisting Mr. Smith had
been called out on the street on some
reward. His passing was a gfeat
shock to everyone, as the short ill
ness which he suffered for one week
became alarming only the afternoon
before his death. He was then taken
to Omaha and an operation was per
formed to give him one slender
chance of life.

bors, the stoimism, the faith which
was theirs to accomplish was imbed
ded into the very hearts of their sons
and daughters. Indeed they assum
ed their full share of the adversi
ties of pioneering.
It was perhaps because of his in
timate acquaintance with th trials
of pioneering and his observation of
the struggles of others that Frank
Sheldon was such a sympathetic
friend to others. It is doubtful if
any other man of the community
was held in more esteem than he
and certainly he was the confidant
and adviser of a host of friends who
will sorely miss him now.
Mr. Sheldon received his educa
tion in he school of Nehawka. In
1888 when he was twenty years of
age he built with the help of his
father, the first store in the village
and established the general mer
chandise business which until the
time of his death he onerated so
successfully, making it one of the"
leading stores of the county. It was
perhaps chiefly through this store
that he gained the large acquaint
ance he had and it was because of
his fair dealings with all bat he
merited the very general confidence
placed upon his judgment and ad
vice.
In 1891 he married -Miss Emma
Banning, also a resident of Nehaw
ka, a most charming and helpful
companion. To this union wan bom
one daughter, Isadore (Mrs. Marion
Tucker) who with her husband re
sides with her mother.
Mr. Sheldon early Identified him
self with all enterprises for the
growth and improvement of the
community. He served on the school
board of this district for a period of
thirty years. He has seen the school
develop from an ungraded districr
school to a consolidated ctiooI com
prising three districts and giving ad
vantages to its pupils undreamed of
a generation ago.
He has not only always favored.
but has given largely of his time
and influence and money to bring
about any improvements in roads
and buildings of the community. He
was one of the men responsible for
the erection of the Nehawka Audi
torium, a civic and social center for
the community. He was a large
stockholder in the Nehawka bank
and at the time of his death was its
president.
He served Nehawka as postmaster
under two administration. The
first commission was granted on the
lGth of February, 1S92 from John
Wanamaker, Postmaster General
under the administration of Benja
min Harrison. The second com
mission was dated the 27th of Aug.
ust, 1897, by James A. Gary, Post
master General under the adminis
tration of McKinley.
He was an active lodge member,
serving each organization faithfully.
He was a member of the Odd Fel
lows, the Ancient Order of United
Workmen and Modern Woodmen of
America. He was a charter n.c ;
ber of the Rebekah lodge. When thj
.Masonic lodge was organized In 190:
his name was on the charer list.
He was a member of Lincoln Con

the Mystic Shrine.
Nehawka, as a community owes
much to Mr. Sheldon. In the s.ime
efficient manner In which he ha3
operated his farms and his store
has he been ready to render service
for all enterprises of the town. His
leadership will be greatly missed.

Harking Back
to the 'Good Old
Days' of 1900
Some Things the Technicians Found
Out when They Started to Film
"The Flcrcdora Girl."
Two modern writers went back
thirty years for atmosphere for "The
Florodora Girl," Marion Davies bi
starring vehicle which comes to the
Ritz talking screen Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, Sept. 14-15-lCth.
They were Gene Markey, who
wrote the original story, and Ralph
Spence, who contributed additional
dialogue to the screen play. Harry
Beaumont directed, with Lawrence
Gray playing opposite the star and
the supporting cast includes Walter
Catlett, Louis John Bartels, Nance
O'Neil, Sam Hardy, Claude Allister,
Vivian Oakland and Ilka Chase.
And here are some of the things
the technicians discovered when get
ting ready to film this great epic of
thirty years ago:
Cost Much More Then
Husbands wno tninK their wives
spend too much money for clothes,
might be interested to know that it
costs fifteen times as much to dress
a Florodora girl of 1900 as it does a
nodern flapper of the present day.
This was discovery No. 1 made by the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer people in sup
plying costumes for "The Florodora
Girl."
Football Different, Too
Football, too, as played by the
catcb-as-oateh-can rules of 1900'was
greatly different from the modern
day game. Nose-guards, shoulder
pads and other formidable protective
accessories were included in uniform
equipment, and it was necessary to
dig up some of the eld apparatus for
use by members of the University of
Southern California football squad ,
for use in the "big game" scenes in
"The Florodora Girl."
These are just a few of the ob
stacles that lay in the path of the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer property men
obstacles that cost plenty of mon
ey before everything was ready to be
gin filming the picture. It is said to
be Marion Davies' greatest screen
triumph.
The football sequence supplies
hilarious motivation to the comedy
plot which centers about the ro
mances of the Florodora sextette
girls.
The Ritz will show it three days
cunuay, .Monday and Tuesday with
a bunday afternoon matinee.
