Base Ball
At Omaha
Lincoln and Omaha will Engage
h Royal Battle Sept.
18, 19 and 20.
There will be t chance on September
18, 19 and 20 for the people of Platts
mouth and Cass county to see the team
owned by Don Despain and Lowell
Stoner, two Cass county boys, play the
kind of ball that is the sensation of the
Western league at the present time.
The attention of base ball men all over
the United States has been drawn to
the sensational and record breaking
work of the Lincoln team in winning
tax shut-out games in succession.
Playing against Denver the team t.hat
has always been a hard one to' win
from, tot. Lincoln team won nine
straight from, closing the series with
two shut-outs in one day, 5 to 0 and 3
to 0. The next day opposed to the
heavy bitting Pueblo team again won a
double shut-out 6 to 0 and 5 to 0. Then
came Des Moines and they were shut
out two games 7 to 0 and 3 to 0. . Of
the last 13 games games played they
have won 12, six of them being shut
outs, seventy-four scores being made to
their opponents thirteen.
The balance of the season they will
be playing Des Moines, Sioux City and
Omaha, three teams that are close
contenders for the pennant, and the
dope from those towns show that they
are expecting Lincoln to pull them all
down.
Lovers of the game in Cass county
should not lose the opportunity to see
the Lincoln team in action in the Om
aha series. You will have a chance to
see Davidison, the great center fielder
who is the sensation of the Western
Leigue and who is to be a member of
the great Chicago Cubs next season.
Jack Thomas the crack first baseman
of the league and the home run slupger
of the circuit, having made ten home
runs so far this season. ' "Kid"-. Uo-
griever, the old gentleman, who plays
second base like a youngster and who
has been playing profession ball nearly
twenty-five years, and is yet considered
one of the best. Cockman, the bent
third sacker in the league, latoly pur
chased from the Americans for a big
wad of money. Eddie Gpgnier, the
deep sea diver, the best short stop in
the west. Jude the swift little Chip

the salt sea waves of Cape Cod, who
plays the right garden, Nunamacher.
the catcher, whom the big leagues
have been trying to purchase and who
is considered one of the coming great
catchers, Farthing the Methodist
preacher from the Wesleyan univer
sity, who has won six out of seven
games pitched, McGrath, the Kansas
kid, who as a pitcher has been shown
to be the class of the league and fresh
from the bush has been mowing them
all down, McCafferty, Nagle and Ryan,
three other pitchers from the big
leagues who are doing great work, and
last, but by no means least, Jimmie
Sullivan the big Irish catcher, who as

weeks has brought it up to a standard
never before accomplished and has
made it the talk of the base ball
world.
The above are facts, and no lover of
base ball should fail to see the Lin
coln team in action when they are in
Omaha.
Remember the dates, September 18,
19 and 20, and everybody who enjoys a
good game of ball should make it a
point to visit Omaha one of those days.
Ths Canvas Tabsrnaels.
The much heralded series of evan
gelistic meetintrs to be conducted under
the auspices of the Christian church
was commenced last evening in the
mammoth tent erected for the purpose
in the rear of the court house, by Mr.
and Mrs. Tuckerman, Mr. Willhite be
ing unable to be present until Saturday
night. A telegram received by Rev.
Luther Moore, pastor of the church,
states that a wonderful work is being
done by the evangelist in Guthrie, Ky
and that it will be impossible for him
to arrive here before Saturday.
On that evening it is planned to hold
a reception in the big tent, the object
being to give all an opportunity to
meet these people and become person
ally acquainted with them Besides the
pastors of the several churches of the
city it is hoped to have Mayor Sattler
present and other heads of civic socie
ties, giving these great religious work
ers a welcome that will at once con
vince them that Plattsmouth's heart
is in the right place.
Buy New Home.
A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby George R. Saylcs becomes
the possessor of the handsome resi
dence property owned by Geo. Born in
the western part of the city. Mr.
Born has only owned the property a
short time, moving in from his fine
farm several miles west of the city
last spring.
Mr. Born states that he enjoys city
life very much, but that the opportuni
ties for making money on the farm now
are so great that he feels that he can
not afford tfi. tax.way especially as
he owns one of the finest farm prop
erties in Cass county.
Celebrate Anniversary.
Saturday was the 20th anniversary of
the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Petersen, and in celebration of the
event they entertained about twenty of
their friends at their home on lower
Main street. The evening was spent
in progressive high-five and at its close
a four course luncheon ' was served
which; was much enjoyed by those pres
ent. At a late hour the guests de
parted wishing Mr. and Mrs. Petersen
many tecurrences of the happy event.
Glenn Rawls who has been connected
with White's grocery store for some
time past has resigned his position to
accept the place C. E. Wescott'a Sons'
made vacant by the resignation of
Matt Jirousek, the latter going to
Chicago to accept a place with a
large wholesale concern.
County Attorney Ramsey made a trip
to Wsir yesterday morning to be pres
ent in the afternoon at the marriage of
an old school friend, Lyman Peck. He
returned on the evening train.
Big Timel
For Eagles
State and National Conventions
at Omaha This Week At- ,
tract Large Crowds.
Past President-John J. Ryder, Om
aha. President-Jule Althaus Omaha.
Vice President-Charles A. Tracy,
Benson. ( '
Secretary -J. M. Tanner, South Om-J
aha. '
Treasurer-Russell E. Danders, Chad-
ron. , 1 '
Chaplain George' Gamble, Florence.
Conductor-M. Pedersen, Blair. -Inner
Guard-T. L. Walker, McCook.
Outer Guard-M. M. Green, Norfolk.
Trustee-C. H.' Christiansen, Fre
mont; R. II. Schwitzer, Lincoln; Dr. A.
J. Ames, North Platte.
These are the officers elected by the
Nebraska aerie of Eagles at Benson
Tuesday afternoon. Chadron was chos
en as the next place of meeting. Grand
Island was also a bidder for the conven
tion, but unfortunately for it, and for
tunately for Chadron, the Grand Island
aerie was not ' up with its per capita
and consequently not in the eligible list.
Following the election and other busi
ness, the new officers were installed
and the convention concluded.
The convention adopted two impor
tant resolutions.one recommending the
establishment of a nation) home for
aged Eagles and those who have tu
berculosis. The other urges state au
tonomy, which will be one of the live
issues in the rational convention.
Today will occur the grand parade of
the visiting delegates and it is esti
mated that 10,000 Eagles will be in
line. Plattsmouth sent up a delegation
of about sixty, No. 15 on the Burling
ton this morning taking over a hundred
visitors. Reports from Omaha received
during the week are, to the effect that
this meeting is one of. the most suc
cessful in the history of the order, srtcr
many good words have been spoken for
Omaha for the manner in which she
has entertained her visitors.
Out On Bail.
Charles Baker, who was recently ar
rested on a charge of bigamy on infor
mation furnished the county attorney
from his old home in Ohio, and who
has since been confined in the county
jail, was released on bail the first of
the week, and is now looking for work
at his trade of stone mason. The county
court fixed the amount of his bond at
$500 at his hearing. Later Judge
Travis reduced this to $400. Old friends
of the accused in Ohio made up a purse
of $300 and deposited with the First
National Bank of this city, and his at
torneys, Sullivan and Gering, furnished
the balance.
The confinement has. had a bad effect
upon the health of Mr. Baker, but he
thinks he will quickly recover his usua
robustness when he gets to work.
Compliments the Parmele.
Plattsmouth has many things of
which her citizens are justly proud, fine
business houses, churches, schools,
hotels, etc., but perhaps none of them
stand out in such prominence, as com
pared with similar things in other cities,
as does our opera house. Frank H.
Leonard, the Christian Science lecturer
who spoke in this city last week, made
the statement that in all his travels.
with one exception, he had not found
so handsome and well appointed a
structure as the Parmele, and many
cities much larger in population could
not boast of so good a house.
New Decorations.
Charles Martin, the barber, with
commendable push and enterprise is
having the interior of his place of busi
ness repainted and decorated. While
Charles' political principles are re
garded by many as dreadfully un
orthodox he is a delightfully optimistic
cuss and keeps well up with the great
American Zeitgeist. Kinkead & Ma
honey are doing the work and with
their handicraft are working a trans
formation. Dwyer Win Case.
The case of D. O. Dwyer vs. John
j Hatt, jr., wherein the plaintiff sued to
recover for rent and other items aggre-
; gating the sum of $0.23 was tried be
fore a jury in Judge Archer's court
I Tuesday, and judgment found for the
plaintiff in the sum of $25 and costs,
amounting in all to $10.20. There is
some talk that the case will be appealed.

Quite A Com
mon Error
The same Mistake is made by
many Plattsmouth people.
It's a common error
To plaster the aching back,
To rub with liniments rheumatic
joints,
, When the trouble comes from tha
kidneys.
l Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills,
And are endorsed by Plattsmouth,
citizens.
Mrs. John Sharp, Cor. Third & Dyke
Streets, ' Plattsmouth, Nebr., says:
Fbr a long time I had trouble from my
back and kidneys. There were terrible
pains in the small of my back often ex
tending into my hips and limbs and '
though I doctored and tried various
medicines, I was not relieved. About
s year ago I procured Doan's Kidney
Pill's from Gering & Co.'s drug store
and in a short time they brought me
complete relief. This remedy has my
hearty endorsement. " (Statement
given June 9, 1906.)
On December 29, 1908, Mrs. Sharp
said: "I gladly renew my former en
dorsement of Doans Kidney Pills. I
still think highly of this remedy, know
ing that is a splendid 1 one in cases of
kidney trouble."
