Veteran Coach
to Retire at
Close of Year
Fred A. Rothert, for Thirteen Years J
Head oi Athletics of High School
Closing His Service.
With the close of the present
school year in the next few weeks,
Fred A. Rothert, coach of the athletic
department of the Plattsmouth high
school, will retire after a service that
has covered the past thirteen years.
In terminating his work here Mr.
Rothert is uncertain as to continuing
in the teaching profession or enter
ing other Hues of activity.
The years of service here have de
veloped some splendid football, bas
ketball and track teams from the
young men of the community and
who under the pilotage of Mr. Roth
ert established some fine records that
will long stand for the future ath
letes of the school.
In his basketball work especially
. Hrl Rothert has had unusual success
and "ihei e has hardly been a season
that the" lqwl school has not had a
team that was a threat to any team
in this section of the state, the blue
and white going repeatedly to the
state tournaments to compete with
the best in the state. In this line of
sport among the well known figures
that have served the Plattsmouth
high school under his regime have
been Russell Wasley, Joe Krejci,
Sterling Hatt, George Rebal, Bernard
Galloway, Edgar Wescott, George
Perry. Roy Turner, Garland Mc
Cleary, Henry Donat, James Begley,
Clarence Forbes, Louis Knoflicek,
Sam Am, Wayne Hiner, Stuart Por
ter, Robert Rummel, Maynard Mc
Cleary, Donald Cotner, Joe Hendrix.
The rootball seasons - have also
given Mr. Rothert some excellent re
sults in the developing of a number
cf players who long will be remem
bered in the football annals of the
school, Jerry Adam, Frank Godwin.
Fred Gorder, Richard Herold, Gilbert
Hirz, George Adam, Robert Hirz,
William Ronne, Kenneth Armstrong,
William Carey, being a few of those
who have served in the football bat
tles under Mr. Rothert.
Hi? tracks teams also have shown
a number of record men that have
won district and state recognition,
among these being Hamilton Mei
singer, Bernard Galloway, Chester
Wiles, Jack Hatt, Homer Spangler,
George Adam and others who have
added their part.
The teams have all been given the
highest training as sportsmen and
which has served as outstanding fea
tures of the Plattsmouth high school
athletic program under the training
of Mr. Rothert.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Roth
ert will decide to continue on in the
coaching work as he will be a valu
able asset to any school or tollege
in their athletic work and the many
friends here trust that he may pro
gress higher in this line of activity.

Supreme Court
Denies Appeal
from Cass Co.
Case Appealed by C. Lawrence Stn.ll
. in Action Filed by Odelle Hol
nan and Others.
C. Lawrence Stuil, Cass county
farmer, refused to attend a trial in
which he was defendant in a civil
action brought by Idelle Kolman and
others. He told his lawyer he was
too busy rounding up livestock that
had escaped from their corrals and
wandered upon the national guard
range, where they were likely to be
shot during target practice. When
the lawyer got back tp court he with
drew his appearance as counsel. Op
posing counsel secured the striking
from the files of Stull's answer and
cross petition, and the case went to
judgment.
Stull hired another lawyer, who
tried to have the judgment set aside,
but the court held that a3 the de
fendant had contumaciously and
without just reason refused to at
tend the trial, the judgment would
not be vacated. Stull then appealed
to the supreme court. Friday that
tribunal, in an opinion by Judge
Good, held that he had made it im
possible to give him relief. In addi
tion a lecture was given Stull in
these words:
"The evidence taken at the trial
upon the petition is in the bill of ex
ceptions and is ample to sustain the
judgment entered. If the answer had
not been stricken, the result would no
doubt have been the same. Therefore,
it seems that defendant was not pre
judiced by the striking of the answer
and cross-petition from the file3. A
judgment will not be reversed for
harmless error. If defendant had been
prejudiced in any wise, it was because
of his own willful act in refusing to
attend court at the time his cause
was set for hearing, of which he had
due notice. Courts are not required
to wait on the pleasure or whim of
litigants. It is the duty of litigants,
unless unavoidably prevented, to at
tend court at the time their cause are
set for hearing. There is ample evi
dence that would justify the court's
finding that the defendant wilfully
and without just cause absented him
self from the court when he should
have been present. Defendant may
not complain of any injury he has
sustained by reason of his own negli
gence and want of care."
The plaintiff filed affidavits, when
Stull was trying in district court to
have the judgment set aside, in which
it was stated Stull was hauling hay
and not looking after his livestock
on trial day, while the man in charge
of the rifle range said it was not until
two days after the date of the trial
that Stull came after the impounded
stock. State Journal.

Both Parties
Endorse Change
in the Primary
Joint Action of Cass County Bodies
Urge Change in System of Sz
lecting Candidates.
In the adoption cf resolution urg
ing the change in the state primary
law, by both political parties of Cass
county at their conventions Thurs
day, a universal and statewide de
maud for this change was expressed
that will be taken up at the state
meetings.
Be It resolved by the delegates to
the Cass county Democratic-Republican
Conventions assembed this COth
day of April, 1336, at Plattsmouth,
Nebraska:
"Because the direct primary is not
working to the satisfaction of the
citizens of Nebraska, and incompetent
men and women in great numbers
seek office without the possibility of
the voters being able to judge their
qualifications; In many cases the pos
session of a familiar name misleads
the voters and results in nomination
of misfits; The present working cf
the direct primary tc- c farce, and
many times results in the selection of
unqualified public officials;
"We favor the next legislature eo
changing the statutes that regularly
selected delegates to a party conven
tion may endorse for the primary
election not more than two candidates
for each elective office, and that said
endorsement shall be so indicated on
the official ballots in the primary
election; and that the names of all
other candidates shall appear without
said convention endorsement."
GIVE FINE RECITAL
Thursday evening at the attractive
home of Mrs. J. M. Roberts on high
school hill the piano pupils of Mrs.
Roberts were heard in recital in a
program of unusual charm. The
young people displayed a truly artis
tic conception of their work that re
flected the deep interest that they
have taken in their study and the
sprendid training that has been af
forded them by their instructor.
Despite the threat of the weather
there was a very large group of the
relatives and friends present to en
joy the musical offering, which was
much appreciated.
The Melody Way class showed ex
ceptionally well in their work in the
development of their musical train
ing. Those who took part in the pro
gram were Billy Knorr, Corbin Da
vis, Helen Jane Kruger, Joanne
Traudt, Katherine Kaffenberger,
Mary Rishel, Joan Tiekotter, Robert

Mynard Com
munity Club
Has Meeting
Clever Program Features the Open
ing Meeting of the Year at
Community Building.
The Mynard Community club held
its first meeting in this year on
March 27. No meetings were held in
January and February because they
were laying a wood floor over the ce
ment and also because the unusually
severe winter weather and snow
bound roads prevented. The presi
dent, C. Arthur Wetenkamp, presided
and the minutes were read by the
secretary, Mrs. Herman Meisinger.
The singing was led by Lawrence
Leonard. After the business meeting
had adjourned the East Side commit
tee, Raymond Cook, Mrs. Howard
Wiles and Mrs. Chester Wiles, pre
sented a very entertaining program.
This was an imitation of Major
Bowes Amateur hour on the radio.
Of course the "honor city" was My
nard and the description of this won
derful city as it was given by Major
Bowes, otherwise Raymond Cook, was
a masterpiece. Even the "city's"
esidents had not realized its fine
points until they heard the Major
tell about them.
First on the program was a quar
tet, The Nightengale Four, Lawrence
Leonard, Arthur Hild, Charles and
Edward Howard. These young men
are fine singers and their numbers
are always enjoyed. There followed
a lecture by "Bring 'em Back Half
Shot" Doe, explorer, scientist, and
big-game hunter, Edward Howard;
Mary Helen Dill, sweet singer of
popular songs, who sat right down
and wrote the Major a letter; John
Tilson, player of novelty music on a
novel instrument; (Howard) . Wiles
and (C. L.) Wiles, close harmonizers,
who got the gong but won first place
by telephone vote; Wallace Terry
berry, excellent young violinist;
Sherman W. Cole, trombonist-extraordinary,
who was promised the gong
and didn't get it because, with the
aid of his trombone, he beat the
Major to it; Richard Livingston,
Rhythm Singer, very good; "Sun Bon-
nett Sue," world's most outstanding,
deep-throated blues singer, "Wahoo,"
Wayne Bennett; Jim Sandin, humor
ous readings, also very good. j
The applause meter, telephone calls
and prizes were handled by Mrs. How
ard Wiles and Mrs. Chester Wiles.
Some of the musical numbers were
accompanied by Mrs. Roy Cole at the
piano. It is hard to say which the
audience enjoyed most, the excellent
music or Major Bowes' questions and
his amateurs' answers.
The April meeting was held on
the twenty-fourth. The singing was
led by Mrs. Chester Wiles. The pro
gram was arranged by the West Side
committee. Royal Smith, Alice Wiles,
Mrs. Lawrence Leonard.
Emil Weyrich of Plattsmouth had
kindly consented to show some of hl3
moving pictures. The first and per
haps the most interesting to this
audience were the pictures that Mr.
Weyrich took of the Corn Carnival in
Plattsmouth last fall. A number of
the friends and neighbors were re
cognized but the colored pictures
were especially beautiful and enjoy
able. Next came two pictures that
were instructive as well as interest
ing. The first was taken during the
construction of the auto bridge built
over the Missouri river at Platts
mouth. The second was one hundred
years of railroad progress as shown
at the Baltimore & Ohio Fair. Next
were scenes of one of the greatest
natural attractions of the United
States, the Niagara Falls. And last,
but not least, were some very excit
ing pictures of the rodeo at Pendle
ton, Oregon. Mr. Weyrich has shown
his pictures for this community club
several times and the members and
their guests appreciate his kindness
and generosity very much.
The last number on the program
was a piano solo, "Olah," by Engel-
mann, played by Jacqueline Weten
kamp, who is one of this community's
promising young musicians.
TO RESUME PRACTICE
Dr. W. V. Ryan, who has been ill
for the past several days, is now im
proved and expects to have his dental
offices open as usual on Saturday

patients.

Passing of
Emma Dehart,
Loved Resident
For Sixteen Years a Resident of This
City and an Earnest, Faithful
Worker in Church
"But ne path of the just is as
the shining light that shineth
more and more unto the perfect
day." Proverbs 4:18.
Margaret Emma DeHart was born
at Yellow Springs, Ohio, Sept. 16,
1863. In October, 18S6, the family
moved to Strahan, Mills county,
Iowa, and after two years removed
to Emerson, Iowa.
In 1895 a sister died leaving four
children, Ward, Rheba, Roy and
Delia Whalen. Rheba went to live
with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
Kayton. Miss DeHart took the other
children into her father's home, and
reared them as her own.
After the death of her parents, for
whom she had cared so tenderly
through their advancing years, she
came to Plattsmouth to make a home
for Ward Whalen, the oldest nephew;
and for the past sixteen years has
lived at 114 South Ninth street.
Because of ill health she has not
found it possible to leave her home
frequently, however, she has been a
power for God in the community. She
has served as president of the Foreign
Missionary Society of the First Meth
odist church, and has directed its ac
tivities in an effective manner.
Miss DeHart has always radiated
goodness, those who knew her in her
young womanhood recall her beauty
of face and character. She lived for
others. Those of us who were blessed
with her acquaintance, and friend
ship during her later years, were
aware of the inner light, "that shin
eth more and more unto the perfect
day."
Of the children she reared there
remain Ward Whalen and Mrs. Delia
James of Creston, Iowa, also the chil
dren of Mrs. James, Virginia, Betty
and Edmund.
Mrs. Olive Kayton, a sister, of Mal
vern, Iowa, and a brother, William
DeHart of Norfolk, Nebraska, survive
her.
The following is a poem, "On the
Death of an Aged Triend," by Roselle
Mercier Montgomery:
You are not dead Life has but set
you free!
Your years of life were like a
lovely song,
The last sweet, poignant notes of
which, held long,
Passed into silence while we listen
ed we
Who loved you, listened still expect
antly! And we about you whom you
moved among
. Would feel that grief for you were
surely wrong
You have but passed beyond where
we can see!
For us who knew you, dread of Age
is past!
You took Life, tiptoe, to the very
last;
It never lost for you its lovely look;
You kept your Interest in its thrill
ing book;
To you Death came, no conqueror,
in the end
You merely smiled to greet another
friend!

UNDERGOES APPENDECTOMY
Charles, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wal
lace Warner of near this city, was
operated on Thursday at the Meth
odist hospital at Omaha, suffering
from a very acute attack of appen
dicitis. The young man is reported
as doing very nicely and it is hoped
in a short time that he may be able
to return home. Charles will, how
ever, have to forego the pleasures of
the Junior-Senior banquet, as he is a
member of the junior class and will
have to celebrate the banquet in the
confines of the hospital.
