NO. 33
C. of C. 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. Mr. and
Mrs. Malcom have made their home
here for the past several years and
their many friends here regret very
much to see them depart from the
community where they have been
very popular and highly esteemed.
ORGANIZE FLOWER CLUB
Henry Jasper, local florist, has cre
ated a very fine and commendable in
terest in the cultivation of flowers
among the children of the city, be
making a visit Wednesday to the
4th, 5th and Cth grades of the Cen
tral building and giving a short talk
to the little folks on the cultivation
oi flowers and particularly on chry
santhemums. Mr. Jasper gave each

and with instructions as to their cul
tivation and care. 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. This is a move that will go a
long way toward interesting the chil
dren of the city in this splendid line
of work.
Disturbance
is Caused at
Farm Home
Soldier Calls at Jess Terry berry
Home and Creates Trouble
Receives Fine
From Thursday's Dally
Last night between 10 and 11
o'clock the farm home of Jess Terry
berry west of this city had an un
welcome caller who proceeded to
make more or less" trouble and as
the result today was given a fine
in the court of Judge Charles L.
Graves for the disturbance and for
the effects of being intoxicated.
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.
The soldier gave the name of James
Webbey and his station as Fort Om
aha, and this morning on the hear
ing on the complaint filed by Coun
ty Attorney W. G. Kieck charging
him with intoxication and provoking
an assault, he entered a plea of guil
ty and was given a fine of $10 for
the provoking an assault and $20
on the intoxication charge.

Rea were presented with the free
scholarships that are offered by the
colleges of Nebraska to the highest
ranking students.

a very interesting review of the class
in which he has particular interest
as the young people were entering
school as freshman as he came to
the school as teacher in 1927. He
gave many interesting personal facts
as to the students which made a very
interesting phase to the ceremonies.

from Missouri Pacific Freight
in Yards at Union
From Friday's Dally
The office of the sheriff was noti
fied today that a box car in a Mis
souri Pacific freight train was rob
bed last night in the yards at Union.
The robbers made their entrance to
the car by breaking the seals and then
removed two buckets and several
boxes of candy that was in transit
from Kansas City to the Joren store
at Springfield. Nebraska.
According to word from the rail
road detectives who were called to
the scene of the robbery, there were
tracks where an auto had been back
ed up to the car and later the tracks
indicated that the car had started
west on the "O" street road but on

ferent kinds.
Barn Burns
and Four Horses
Perish in Flames
Barn at the Farm of Michael Haus
laden Discovered Ablaze Early
This Morning.
From Saturday's Danv
This morning shortly after 4
o'clock the barn at the farm of
Michael Hausladen. three miles south
of this city, was found to be afire
and the fire had gained such head
way that it was impossible to check
the flames or rescue four head of
horses that were in the burning
structure. The alarm was given over
the telephone and a number of the
neighbors responded to the call for
assistance but it was impossible to
do any good in checking the blaze
in the barn, but the other buildings
on the farm were saved from the
ravages of the fire.
The loss will be a heavy one to
Mr. Hausladen as the horses were
very valuable and their loss is felt
especially at this season when the
farm work is so pressing. As far as
could be learned there was no insur
ance on the barn or the contents.

Long Time Ad
vertisers in the
Journal Cited
Record ef Several IVms Show That
They Have Been Continuous
in Columns of Paper.
Recently several of the printing
trade journal.- have carried stories
of films that had been long time con
tinuous advertisers in papers over
the country, they covering t'ron ten
to fifteen years, and in this con
nection the Evening Journal also has
several firms that have been users
of the columns of the paper for
much longer periods.
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. Bach, which firm
is the oldest in the city, the Black &
White grocery, E. A. Wurl. and other
loyal advertisers to whom the Jour
nal is most appreciative for their
support.

Attorney A. L. Tidd, who has made
a speciality of Iris for the last sev

very beautiful in every way. The
Iris represented several shades as
well as varieties and show the care
ful care that Mr. Tidd has given
them. The Tidd home has many very
