Gives Endorsement to Train Removal Votes Unanimously for Elimination of Trains 66 and 15 Objec tion Eaised to Carnivals From Thursdfiv'B Datlv With President Schneider of the Chamber of Commerce out of the fifty, to-day's bi-weekly noon-day luncheon was presided over by Vice President Searl S. Davis. Attendance at the meeting was the smallest of the cur rent year. A proposal to distribute 16-page folders thru joing co-operation of Plattsmouth lodge and the Chamber of Commerce publicity department on occasion of the visit of Nebraska Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. If., to the Masonic Home here on June 9th was acted upon favorably and the Chamber of Commerce will share one half of the expense of publishing and distributing the booklets. The Amusement and Recreation committee asked for suggestions on how to finance the band concert pro gram this year, inasmuch as city fi nances would not permit apropriating a sum anywhere near equal to that provided last year from the city treas ury, and suggestions were made of alternating with the High school band, securing nearby rural bands, etc., and the directors pledged their continued aid of the mid-summer concert programs under such arrange ments as may be made by Chairman Holmes of this committee. The Railroads committee reported on the request of the Burlington to remove Trains No. 15 and 66 from its schedule, giving figures to show the marked falling off in ticket sales that followed the graveling of the Plattsmouth-Omaha highway and has been gradually diminishing as im proved auto traffic conditions were provided, until at the present time, ticket sales between this city and Omaha now average less than one a day. Postmaster Holmes reported on the mail phase, stating; that at pres ent Chicago mail is net delivered in time for business men to get same on their way from home to place of busi ness or for inclusion in the first de livery over town by city carrier, so no material time would be lost if this mail were carried into Omaha and brought here over the Missouri Pa cific at 9:40 a. m. Mr. Clement, member of the Rail roads committee, and Burlington em ployee, presented the matter on be half of his company and said they would handle passenger traffic on their Chicago train No. 2 3, passing through here at 9:5S a. m., making this a flag stop for even single pas sengers. During the conversation, it was brought out. however, that the report the Burlington might route all its Chicago trains thru here instead of via Council Bluffs was without foundation. Chairman Richey of the Railroads committee moved the endorsement of a resolution to be presented to com pany officials to the effect that Platts mouth Chamber of Commerce give its approval to the removal of these trains. Carnival Discussion A discussion of the merits of car nivals was engaged in. following a request from the chair for expression of opinion on this matter and con siderable comment, as well as en lightening information given on the subject before adjournment was moved at 1:15, a quarter of an hour ahead of the usual time. HAVE WILD RIDE From Thurpday's Dally Deputy Sheriff Rex Young and Constable Tom Svoboda had a record breaking ride to Murray last night shortly after twelve o'clock When the alarm was received that the Lan caster store was being robbed. The officers had just returned from the Terryberry farm on one trip and had just prepared to retire when the mes sage was received by Mr. Young of the supposed attempt to rob and he hurriedly dressed and called Mr. Svo boda and fourteen minutes from the time the alarm was received the offi cers pulled up before the store at Murray. They found armed guards at all points in the vicinity and pre pired to fire on the robbers if they ventured from the store. The cause of the scare was that the burglar alarm had been sounding from the store and which brought out the vol unteer guards. Finding no trace of where the parties might have enter ed the store the officers entered and found that there had been nothing disturbed in any way and the alarm was doubtless accidently set off in some manner. MOVES TO THE WEST From Saturday's D.ally Last evening William Mrasek and John Galloway departed for Repub lican City via truck and taking with them the household goods of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Malcolm, who are to make their home in the west Ne braska city in the future.

He is to hold a flower show in the fall and at which time he will give three prizes to the child who has made the greatest pro gress in the cultivation of the flow ers.

Mr. and Mrs. Terryberry. with Mr. and Mrs. William Renner and Wal ter Fulton, employed at the Terry berry farm, were visiting last eve ning when a knock came on the door of the kitchen and Mr. Fulton ans wering the door found a soldier standing there and who demanded entrance and later asked to be given a drink of water which was given him and the soldier then proceeded to recite to the family his standing in the army and other remarks that kept up for some time and theu he requested another drink of water which was given him. Mr. Terry berry then suggested that he depart as the hour was growing late and this started an argument and in which the soldier threatened to have a force come in and clean house and also other remarks calculated to pro voke as assault. The soldier con tinued to argue and finally a call to this city brought Deputy Sheriff Rx Young to the scene and he plac ed the young man under arrest and brought him on into this city where he was lodged in jail.

These advertisers have had their advertisements in every edition of the daily and semi-weekly edition-, over the period of years and some for practically the entire period that the Journal has been under the owner ship of R. A. Bates, the present pub lisher and manager. The firm of C. E. Wescott's Sons has had their advertising appear in each and every edition of the paper for the past twen-ty-seven years and have occupied their regular space each time that the presses have turn ed out the Journal, also being one of the heaviest patrons all these years. Phillip Thierolf is also one of the oldest of the Journal advertisers as he has carried advertisements in the paper from the start of the daily edi tion back in 1905, dividing honors with H. M. Soennichsen who has been in the columns of the paper in his various partnerships and stores down to the present H. M. Soen nichsen Co.. which is the largest store in Cass county. Mr. Thierolf was one of the first to advertise in the daily, as stated above, commenc ing his advertising at the time that the Journal established a daily at the urge of many citizens, during the agitation over Sunday baseball back twenty-seven years ago. which con tinued with the exception of two years when Mr. Thierolf was out of the active business life and then re sumed when the firm of Falter & Thierolf was formed and the pres ent clothing store opened and since that time his advertisement has been in each edition of the paper. H. M. Soennichsen was also one of the first to advertise in the Jour nal, he at that time being interest ed in the A. H. Weckbach store and since he has beep in business in his own name he has been numbered as one of the patrons of the advertis ing columns and has expanded his advertising with the opening of the large department store of which he is the head, the H. M. Soennichsen Co. The firm of Weyrich & Hadraba also have been advertisers over a re cord period of years, occupying the same space in the paper day in and day out through some twenty years. or practically since they opened their drug store in this city, establishing a record for continuous advertising. Others who have been consistent patrons of the advertising columns of this paper, altho not in as long a period, have helped to develop the high standard of the newspaper ad vertising and include the Fetzer Shoe Co., which was formerly the Joseph Fetzer Shoe store, they hav ing been advertisers for a great many years, the Sanitary Meat Market of Frank Mullen which has been a pat ron of the Journal advertising since its establishment several years ago, bringing a real force to the adver tising business, the Red & White meat and grocery since its establish ment by Hilt Martin, the Parmele and Ritz theatres which under the management of W. J. Seydlitz and G. G. Griffin have had their adver tisements in each edition of the paper, Searl S. Davis, real estate and farm loans. A. G.
