Omaha to Try for Meeting of
Bohemian Catholic Turners
In 1919 Omaha wants the national
meeting of the Bohemian Catholic
Turners' association.
The meeting this year is to be held
in Milwaukee the fore part of Septem
ber. Some eighty Turners from Ne
braska will attend in Milwaukee. No
less than twenty arc expected to go
from Omaha. Charles M. Fixa of
Omaha is to head the Nebraska dete
ction. Mr. rixa and other local Bo-
.emians have been fn conference with
E. V. Parrish of the bureau of pub
licity with regard to the campaign
they will make at Milwaukee to land
the next convention for Omaha. The
association meets every three years.!
Rev. L. Groh, pastor of St. Mark's
Lutheran church, preached in two
very old and historic churches dur
ing a five weeks' trip to Pennsylvania,
from which he has just returned.
One of these was an old church in
Schaefferstown, Pa. Schaefferstown
is a little place, seven miles from a
railroad. Some of the houses are
built of logs. Sonic of the people have
lived there ninety years and have
never traveled ten miles away.
The church was established in 1740.
Dr. Groh attended there when he was
a child. In the early days they had
a little bell on each contribution
basket and if any parishioner was
asleep when the collection was taken
up the bell was rung until he awoke.
Dr. Groh also preached for some of
his former members at the old
Swamp church. This congregation
was organized by Rev. Harry Mel
chior Muhlenburg very early in the
eighteenth century and his church
records, written partly in Latin, are
still extant. Rev. Dr. Muhlenburg
was one of the foremost patriots in
the American colonies.
The church is not very far from
Valley Forge and was used as a hos
pital during the Revolutionary war
Dr. Groh preached also at the old
St. John's church, Boyertown, Pa.,
where he was pastor for twenty-five'
years, with a membership of over
1,000.
Major Thomas L. Rhoades, United
States army, now in charge of the
United States hospital at Colon, and
one of Dr. Groh's confirmants dur
ing his pastorate, was home on a
vacation. Dr. Rhoades is a surgeon
in the army and operated on William
H. Taft in the Philippines and after
wards became Taft's military aide fol
lowing the death of Archie Butts on
the Titanic.
PAVERS GIVE NEW
EXCUSE FOR DELAY

Small Towns Fear
Bandit Who Held
Up Florence Bank
Complaints from the vicinity of
Springfield that houses were being
broken into by a man suspected of be
ing the gentlemanly bandit who held
up and robbed the Florence bank,
sent deputy sheriffs scurrying to the
scene.
Reports are being received at the
sheriff's office from towns through
out the surrounding territory telling
of the believed activities of the "Gen
tleman Bandit" in innumerable local
ities. Post cards giving the description of
the robber have been sent to all of
ficers and other interested parties in
Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado,
Nebraska and the Dakotas from the
sheriff's office.
Milwaukee May Name
Crack Train Ak-Sar-Ben
Another effort is to be made to have
the Milwaukee's crack train between
Omaha and Chicago named the "Ak-Sar-Ben
Limited."
About a year ago the attention of
the officials in Chicago was drawn to
the fact that of all the names for the
Omaha-Chicago night train, that of
Ak-Sar-Beu would be the most ap
propriate. Local Milwaukee men argue that
the other crack trains of the system
the Pioneer Limited, Southwest Limi
ted, Olympian, Columbian are ex
pressive of the territories they trav'

case with the train between Chicago
and the Nebraska metropolis.

Cannot Tell Red from Green
And Would Join the Navy
The most color blind, or the color
blindest man that Lieutenant VV. W.
Waddell of the navy recruiting sta
tion ever saw applied for enlistment.
He had absolutely no sense of color.
Given a skein of bright red yarn and
told to select other skeins of the same
color from a basket, he picked yellow,
green, brown and purple ones, but
none that matched the red one. He
was Harry Beam of Birmingham, Ala.,
and, of course, he didn't get into the
navy.
CONTRACTORS GIVEN WEEK
"There's another alibi," declared
City Commissioner Hummel when C.
V. Hull appeared before the city,
council to explain the paving situation
from the standpoint of a material man.
Mr. Hummel opened up the paving
situation anew and announced he
would give the contractor in Miller
park district just one more week in
which to show signs of life.
Mr. Hull explained there is a short
age of cement and crushed stone, due
largely to lack of railroad equipment
at this time. He said a stone mill at
Lake View, la., broke down and new
machinery could not be secured for
repairs, thus causing a delay,
i Commissioners Hummel and Jar
dine were appointed as a special com
mittee to "see what can be done to
arouse the paving contractors."
"It is high time that the city coun
cil takes some notice of irresponsible
paving contractors and in the future
invite bids from contractors out of the
city to compete with these local men
who are favoring their contracts out
side of this city and slighting thelrJ
wont nere, was anotner statement by
Commissioner Hummel.
Commissioner Jardine announced
that the contractor on North Twenty
fourth street actually had moved a
concrete mixer to this job.
