A "model" beer ordinance for Ne
braska cities and villages was the
subject cf discussion at a meeting of
the Nebraska League of Municipal
ities at a meeting held at the Hotel
Cornhuskcr at Lincoln on Thursday
afternoon.
The attendants were mayors, city
attorneys and several of the council
men of the various cities of the state.
Attorney Taul F. Good was in at
tendance at the meeting and gave his
views on the proposed ordinance that
will be made necessary by the oper
ation of the "beer law" effective on

Among the topics contained in the
ordinanc2 are occupation taxes, sales
zones and closing hours, according

The east window cf the Thim

visitor in Murdock on last Friday,
coming to look after some business
matters and as well was a visitor
with a very dear friend.
Chris Ncben, residing o. fow milor
west cf Murdor i: and north of Alvo,
has been in a very poor condition of
health and has been kept to his bed
at the home for a number cf days.
Mrs. Lawrence Race and the kid
dies were over to Auburn during the
greater part of the past week, where
they were enjoying a vir.it at the
heme of Mrs. Race's mother, Mrs.
Margaret Falk.
Uncle Henry Cakemeier and wife
were over to Greenwood, where they
were visiting at the home of their
daughter, Mrs. Rex Peters and hus
band. They were driven over by
their daughter, Hiss Pcadie.
Paul Kupke, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kupke, residing northeast
of town, has been in a bad state of
health for the past week or more and
has Leon kept to his bed and under
the care of the family physician. Dr.
L. D. Lee. His many friends are hop
ing he may soon be able to be up
and about again.
Misses Elizabeth and Geraldine
Rikli. daughters of Dr. and Mrs. Ar
thur Rikli, who have been visiting
in and about Murdoch for the past
two weeks and while here were the
guests of relatives and friends, de
ported on Thursday of last week for
their home, after enjoying the time
vrry pleasantly.
The Royal Neighbors of America
were meeting on last "Wednesday af
ternoon with Mrs. L. R. Gorthey.
where they leaked after the affairs
of the order -End; transacted, what
business there was to look after and
following which they enjoyed a social
time and were entertained with a
delightful luncheon served by the
genial hostess.
Make Short Visit Here

Mrs. Herman Neitzel, of Poise, Idaho,
who has been attending school at
South Bend, Indiana, with the con
clusion cf the school year visited for
a time at Detroit, and following that

mouth, and his aunt Miss Minnie
Guthmann. departed on last Wednes
day for his home at Boise, driving
his crr. lie was accompanisd by Miss
Minnie Guthman, his aunt, and they
stopped in Murdock for a short time
as they passed through here last
week.
Chicken Thieves Ilake Fat Haul
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin
J. Neitzel on last Monday night,
thieves looted the chicken house of
Mr. Neitzel, stealing some fifty of
his chicks. A shower of rain placed
the roads in such a condition that
the thieves were able to be tracked
a considerable distance and their
car tracks were plainly visible until
they came to the graveled road near
South Bend, where they were blotted
out by the tracks cf other cars and
the trail was lest. It is high time
that something be done to apprehend
the crganized gang of thieves who
loot the chicken houses over the
country.

Emil Lau, who has many pigeons
on his farm presented one to his
little friend, Larry Lee, son of Dr.

throne.
Max Dusterhoff Visited Here
Max Dusterhoff, who was a pain

seven years, was a visitor here for
several days during the past week,
calling on his old friends. He enjoy
ed renewing acquaintances with a
great many of those he had known
in the years gone by, but found a
considerable number who like him
self have moved away and others who

old reaper. He left the latter part

Messrs. A. J. Tool. Larey and Bry
an McDonald were ever to Fremont

after the harness and hardware shop
and the substitute carrier carried the
mail.
Hob Deep Sock Station
The Deeprock bulk gas station was
robbed on last Monday night and a
large quantity of gas and oil taken,
as well as a number of cans and some
tcols. Every pracaution has been ex
orcised to prevent the looting of this
place, but to no effect, for the thieves
were able to break the locks and loot
the place in the middle of the night.
It would seem that thieves would be
inclined to give Murdock a wide berth
rir.ee the killing of a burglar here a
Tew months ago, but they evidently
did not know cf the ether robbery
and the killing of the man, or else
they had no fear of the consequences.
Deputy Sheriff. Lancaster was oui
and looked over the grounds, obtain
ing as nivch information as possible,
to be ued in an effort to trail down
the culprit.

Great Lakes
is Linked to the
Gulf of Mexico
Waterway Officially Given Dedica
tion in Chicago Ceremony
Yesterday.
Chicago. The joining of the great
akes with the gulf of Mexico 1,000
uiles away by a 102 million dollar
inland waterway was completed of
.icially Thursday. Half a dozen squat
freight barges were pushed up the;
Jhicago river, a stream, made to flow
lackward by man's engineering gen
.us, and entered Lake Michigan. It
as the first cargo of freight, enough
it it to fill sixty railroad cars, to ar
rive in the northern lake waters from
:he southern states and from foreign
ports via the waterway.
Officialdom of the federal govern
ment, of a score of cities and of a
Jozen Mississippi valley states greet
ed the barges from the deck of a
junboat. These officials, among them
Secretary of War Dern, hailed the
opening of the waterway as placing
:he land-locked midwest on a closer
transportation parity with the coast
seaports and as providing industrial
stimulus for the entire nation.
The waterway proper extends
ainety-six mlie3 from Lake Michigan
at Chicago to the Illinois river at
CJtica, 111. In completing it, engineers
ased the channels of the Des Plaines
icd Illinois rivers and the Chicago
unitary district canal. Five power
ful locks capable of lifting and low
ering 30,000 tons of freight a day
and separated by miles of virtual
lakes make possbile the operation of
che channel. The locks make up for
the difference of 129 feet in eleva
.ion at the ends of the waterway.
Bringing to the ceremonies a mes
rage from President Roosevelt, Secre
tary Dern said the president saw in
completion of ,the waterway "the
nanifest destiny of the midwest."
"He (the president) knows that
this valley is the storehouse of the
nation," Dern said, "that it produces
70 percent of the country's agricul
tural products, 50 percent of its
manufactured products and CO per
cent of its exportable surplus; and
that within its giant embrace reposes
98 percent of its iron ore deposits,
82 percent of its coal and 70 percent
of its petroleum stores." State Journal.
