Pioneers Hold Social Session Rev. Frank G. Smith Is Prin cipal Speaker at Meeting of Douglas County Veterans. The mere fact that the records of the association have been lost did not prevent the Douglas County Pioneers from having a real sociable afternoon yesterday in the club rooms at the courthouse. Community singing, and that means that every one of the 150 pioneers did their respective parts, opened the entertainment. Miss Mary Coleman led the songsters and Max McCul lough did his bit on the piano. "America owes a debt to its pioneers which she can never pay fully,” de clared Rev. Frank G. Smith in a short talk to the members. "The dreams which inspired them to seek new lands have come true. Without the pioneers, America would not be the country R is today.” When it comes to. taking tho part of a regular fiddler, H. G. Kiddoo Mualifies. To the accompaniment of , Mrs. Arthur Bailey, he played tune after tune, hornpipe, reel, jig and polka. The audience asked for more. For good measure, he gave a reading in Swedish dialect, telling of the vi cissitudes of a young Swede in love, and offered a clog dance to "Turkey in the Straw.” George A. Wilcox presided in the absence of A1 Mctzler, who is ill at Paxton Memorial hospital. Flowers sent to the club by Commissioner Joe Hummel will be taken to the pres ident. After the past secretary, Marv Cormack, went to Hollywood. Cal., a few months ago the records of the club were missed. A letter from her wsa reaij, telling of placing the records in a steel cabinet. Other members assert that when the cabinet was opened in their csence the records were missing.

Page County Is Infested With Chicken Thieves Shenandoah, la., Nov. 8.—There is much complaint in Page county of the activity of chicken thieves. The sentiment is running strong against this sort of pilfering, according to Don T. Griswold, county agent, and judging by the talk that is current, if the thieves should be caught, something is likely to happen to ♦bcm. The demand for prosecutions of the thieves is becoming strong. This is one of the most aggravating forms of thievery that the county is cursed with at the present time. Ord Gives Reception to Head of W omen's Clubs Ord.

Custer, S. D„ Nov. 8.—An interest ing relic of pioneer days in the Black Hills was discovered on the Doran farm, near Custer, by Mrs. James Dornn and daughter, Miss Ella; Miss Sarah Walsh, Mrs. Teresa Oarlock and Mrs. Minnie Putnam, while they were gathering pine cones and kin nikinic. The relic was a graveboard marker, badly weather beaten, but with distinct carvings, which read as follows; Prof. John Pommer, Company I, Fifth Cavalry, Died of Disease October 3, 1876. Native of Germany. Age 31 Years. It is believed that Pommer was a member of the command of Gen. George Crook, composing the Yellow stone expedition, which was in the Black Hills at about the time of Pommel's death. Records show that after a few days' rest Crook's com mand marched from Crook to Custer, where it remained in camp until the early part of October, 1876, when, after a short reconnoissance down the south fork of the Cheyenne river, it ventured to Buffalo Gap, thence proceeded to Fort Niobrara, Neb., where it disbanded.^ It is probable that members of the local American Legion post will take steps to have the exact spot of the grave located, so that a new and permanent marker may be placed over the grave. For the present, the weather beaten marker will He kept in the Harry AA'ay rabin in the out skirts of Custer, where are assem bled numerous re.lice of the early day history of this part of the Black Hills.

Retailers Trail Down Robbers Nebraska Federation's Efforts to Ferret Out Burglars Meet With Success. The Federation of Nebraska Retail ers has again demonstrated that its plan of combating the robbery men ace of this state is effective. On Oc tober 20 the Broz f Dunder-gurnge of Prague, Neb., was entered by breaking through the rear window and approximately J200 worth of merchandise stolen, consisting of practically all radio supplies and equipment. The federation was notified imme diately and began an investigation. Suspicion soon centered on a certain high school boy In the Prague vicin ity, who finally made full confession to the federation's representative and returned the stolen goods to the store. Other parties appear to be implicated, and these clues are now being investigated. Arrests are to be made soon. This Is the fourth robbery on which the federation has worked since it began Its campaign in the early fall. The K. B. Penny robbery at Fuller ton was the first. One of the rob bers of the store is now serving time In the Nebraska penitentiary. Two are in the Iowa penitentiary and two others are under arrest await ing trial. The second was the A. M. Oranitz robbery at Farwell, Neb./As yet no arrests have been made itt connection with this robbery, but some live clues are being worked upon. The Rich land garage at Richland, Neb,, was robbed of less than $50 worth of auto mobile supplies, and Investigation of this robbery Is still in progress, The federation's plan of fighting burglars consists principally of the organization of vigilance committees in each town working with the law enforcement officials. In addition, the federation provides its members with a detective service for the fer reting out of any clue or suggestion that promises the slightest hope of leading to the desired results.

S.—The Dodge county judge’s office, wpiere mar riage licenses at one time were the chief stock of trade, may yet have to put out a “going out of business” sign. It has been three weeks since any couple has come to Jurge Winter steen’s office for a mariage license, and two wreeks since a permit has been granted. Three month* have passed eince Nebraska's new tnarlage law went Into effect and only 17 marriage li censes have l>een granted in Dodge county in that time. Judge Winter steen, in former day* Issued that many licenses in less than a week. At one time Fremont was recog nized as the "Gretna Green" of northeast Nebraska. With three railroads unloading its passengers at the Dodge county capital. Judge Wintersteen's office wag a popular "hangout" for prospective bride and bridegrooms. Appeal Denied. Columbus, Neb., Nov. 8.—The ap peal taken to the district court by Stanislaus Kula, farmer, from a fine levied against him on a charge of wife beating was thrown out of court by District Judge F. W. Button. Yellow Cab Likes clean competition A few people imagine YELLOW CAB rates are low in order to discourage competitors. We don't object in the least to clean business rivalry, but we do hate slip-shod cab service. There is plenty of room in this city for every taxicab run ning on the streets if they were oper ated according to the standards established by YELLOW CAB and at YELLOW CAB rates of fare. Clean, safe, modern equip ment; courteous, reliable drivel's backed by organized responsibility operating at low rates creates the cab rid ing habit, and this is our most valuable asset. - If competition, lacking system and knowledge of the cab business, is unable to afford high grade service at low rates, the blame can not be laid at the door of YELLOW CAB. The law of supply and de mand regulates the cab business just the same as any other business. The public will continue to buy the best value obtainable for the lowest price. That is the reason they prefer YELLOW CABS. The success of YELLOW CAB is built on volume business and small profits. There are no secrets to our methods. Competitors can do the same, if they want to.
