(From Saturday's Dally) The Senior class of the High school remembering the many good times that had been given them by their lower classmen, the Juniors, gave a party last evening at the residence of J. E. McDaniel to pay off the indebt . i i t . cuness to tne class bciorc tncy were presented with their 6hcepkins which is the finishing touch of High school I life. The party was held at the home of a prominent Senior, Miss Virginia McDaniel and during the evening the hosts of the upper class did all in their power to show the Juniors a good time. The rooms of the house were prettily decorated in collegian style with class colors and penants. Dur ing the early hours of the evening a programme was enjoyed, the dif ferent numbers being given by Senior members. It consisted of a reci tation by Mildred Cummins, a selec tion on the piano by Miss Sherwood, Miss Hattie, Hoffman-and Miss Vir ginia McDaniel, a recitation by Miss Marie Douglass, a piano solo by Miss Hattie HafTman, and the "star" number of the programme, a reci tation by Principal Harrison, which was given in the most comical mannc Tomorrowthrcc different games were played, one of them a guessing contest in the which names of the prominent advertisers had to be filled out from advertiscmncts in the Ladies Home Journal. The most successful con testant in this game was John Falter who was awarded the first prize, a box of candy. The consolation prize was given Duwood Lynde. Refresh ments consisting of sandwiches, pick les, chocolate, etc., were served at a late hour and the Iparty adjourned with three cheers for the Seniors. These arc the busy days of the school year and every day makes some tiling doing for the sweet girl gradu ates whose time is swiftly approach ing. The graduation exercises are to be held at the theatre a week from Fri ay night, May 27. The farewell sermon will be given by Rev.

The High school play to be given by the Seniors will take place on Thurs day night and it is meaning consid erable work for the members of the cast who are finishing up their school work. There is a certainty of a large crowd at the performance for the tick ets have already begun to move at a surprisingly good rate and there, are still five days before the eventful night. The production deserves a packed house for it is a big undertak ing for the students to give a play of the kind which they have billed. It is not a light musical affair, but it is taken from a pretty college story of happenings at a girls' school in the east. It is entitled "Cupid at Vassar" and from the first part of its name it may be surmised that the bow and arrow play an important part. The money realized from the show is to be used in the High school labratory where it is greatly needed at the pres ent time. Among the many important school events the coming week is the state championship events at Lincoln on the day following the Senior play. Plattsmouth is to be represented at the meet by Miss Marie Douglas who is going to bring the ribbons home to this city. - Comet Was Bashful. Halley's comet disappointed a good many people in Plattsmouth this morning by keeping under the cover of a heavy bank of clouds until it had become nearly invisible from the light of day. At about ten minutes of three a portion of it's long tail was seen for a short time but the clouds soon spread over it and it was after four thirty when it ventured forth from its hiding place. It then appeared high in the sky but could not be clearly seen on, account of the day light." Nearly every roomer at the Riley sleepily crawled into their clothes and rambled down to the de pot but they waited in vain for the clouds to clear away. In all, there was a crowd of forty or fifty people who gathered at the station, staying until dawn in the hopes of getti ng their optics on the comet, when they all went home to breakfast kicking themselves over the good hours of sleep they had missed.

PLAY SIXTEEN INNINGS OF RED HOT BASE BALL Plattsmouth Red Socks Put by Small (From Saturday's Dally) The longest and best ball game that was ever played on a Plattsmouth diamond was pulled off yesterday af ternoon between the Sixrteenth in fantry from Fort Crook and the Platts mouth Red Socks. It took sixteen in nings for the soldiers to get their two runs which settled the game for the infantry and it was a fight from start to finish with the two teams as evenly matched as any two nines in the coun try could be. The fans went crazy over it. The uinnirinir was as near perfect as could be expected. . There were but two decisions that were dis puted. Plattsmouth in many ways played a little the better game scor ing one more hit and playing without an error. The two runs that decided the game were well earned by the sol diers and were cleverly run in by good team work, lo make it short, it was as good an exhibition of the national game as could be played. If the boys did disappoint the bugs at the last game, they certainly re deemed themselves yesterday and covered themsclvees with enough glory to last them for many moons. Every Plattsmouth man was there stronger than horse radish and there wasn't a man on the grandstand that wouldn't have given $100 for the game before the first six innings were over. The Fort Crook manacer said "It was the best game we have played this season and I doubt if we will play an other as good." It was a very unusual game, hvery man in both teams was a star and it would be hard to pick any best ones from the bunch, the batteries worked together like two wheels on an engine. Their sup port at all times was fine, both teams playing like old leaguers. The Plattsmouth pitcher Richter of Ne braska City showed fine form and stuck in the box for the entire game, pitch ing in the sixteenth nearly as 6trong as in the first.' Smith the Fort pitcher held his box through the sixteen frames and was a little handier with the ball than the Plattsmouth man but the totals show they were very evenly matched. The soldiers have a reputation of being handy with the bat but they had no luck in finding the old southpaw yesterday and his balls in the lust frame were just as puzzling as in the first. He played a fine game, being as good at the stick as he was in the box. After the tenth inning he set his te(jth with the determination of playing until darkness if necessary and he would have followed out his plans if the two Fort Crook runs (had not interfered. The catcher, Keithley of Syracuse worked to perfection with the pitcher but he didn't show up strong with the club. As was said before, all the old Red Socks were there and over. Real in center got under a couple of pretty ones but was not able to hammer out the hits like he generally does. Droegc at short was there every time when it came to stopping the little groundres through his territory. Fitzgerald on second was in a number of put outs and made a stiff hit at a good part of the game. McCauley on first played like a prince of a game and picked the balls out of the air like a giraffe eating persimmons BALL SEEN HERE Up Fine Game, But Lose Margin. scoring 25 put outs without error. The Indian on third a single was one that had played on Green's tribe. He played his sack well and proved a good batter. Mason in the field was right at home and made a couple of pretty steal, one at the first of the game on wliich a poor decision was made. He slid for second and the base man dropped the ball, but the decision was made before the base umpire saw the man pick it up and the runner was called out. Kelly in right field nabbed two flies but was unable to mark up a hit. At times the locals would close up their frames with about two minutes of play. In the fifth and fourteenth the boys put their men out on first just as fast as they would go to bat. In the first half of the eigth the bovs home plate was pretty badly endan gered but the glommmg of a fly by Mason closed the frame with a man on both second and third In the eleventh with two men down one on a fly and the other fanning the wind, the boys made the nearest approach at scoring. Followinn nice hit by Droege, the pitcher, Rich ter, slid for home but from the umpire's point of view he appeared to be tipped by t he catcher and the run was lost It was a difficult decision to make and was not seriously disputed although !i 1 1 A I 1 ii appeareu 10 me granu stand as though the man were safe. There were two plays, one of them on the Plattsmouth third baseman and one on a soldier, that might have been counted as errors but the score as given below is conceded by most to be cor rect. In the eventful sixteenth, the first man from the fort walked. The second man failed to reach first base but a bunt followed by a hit pushe two men across the rubber in close sucession . before the. inning closed In Plattsmouth's half nary a Red Sock gouged his toe plate in the first sack It was one, two, three and to the woods for you. A sky scraper in a soldier's mit, three frantic gashes through the air and a measley grounder to the in field ended the game, totaling 16 goose eggs for the locals and 15 of the same variety for the soldiers, althougl their eggs were garnished with water cress in the shape of two beautifu scores. The soldiers were on an eight-day trip, leavmg last night for St. Joe, from there they will go to Kansas City and other points in the south They were a good bunch of fellows putting up a clean game, and very little rag chewing, save just the proper amount to add ginger to the game, The local ground has been put in the best condition that it was ever in, an aside from the fact that the infiel is just a trifle slow, it is perfect The grand stand has been covered additional seats placed along the side lines ana tne diamond enclosed so the crowds will not fill the field and cut out the view from the ampitheatre. All" of w hich is a great improvement to the park. The management de serve credit for the good work and the fine arrangement and it will help to turn out larger crowds, but from now on there will not be any doubt but that the boys will perform before a good bunch. A game like the one yester day was as good as a year of any man's ue some years. Fort Crook. PO.A.

It was a hard fought contest and it was certainly a difficult matter for the judges to form a decision The vote announced was two for Platts mouth and one for Wahoo. One of the judges made a statement that it was the best contest he had witnessed this year. It was certainly an inter esting debate and Wahoo people who were in attendance, were certainly not ashamed of the work of their debaters.

RAFFLES MAKES CALLS Prowler Visits Two ResU dences of City, But Spoils are Small. BURGLAR IN HER ROOM AWAKENS MISS GORDER Home oi O. C. Dovey and Fred Gorder Entered and Much Eicltement Created. (From Saturday's Dally) What was thought to be a lone am ateur burglar created quite a sensa tion last night among the pcacablo citizens of the city between the hours of eleven and twelve thirty, by making unsolicited calls at two different residences in the north part of town. His first visit was at the residence of O. C. Dovey on North Sixth street at about 11 o'clock in the evening. At ten thirty a couple who were returning to their homes in that vicinity no ticed a young man, garbed in a light gray suit and a telescoped stetson hat sauntering slowly down the side walk on Sixth street on a side which is seldom used by pedestrians and it was observed that he stopped in front of the Frickc residence shortly after passing them. However, nothing sus picious was thought of his actions until a few hours later when it was discovered that some one had ran sacked the Dovey home. A small party w'as being given at that residence in honor of Mrs. E. 13. Conant of Lincoln who was visit ing with the Doveys. The noise and excitement of the crowd of ladies in the house gave the sleuth an ideal opportuunity to work the upper stor ies of the house via the porch route. It was an easy trick to shin up the roof of the front porch and once there, it was clear sailing the rest of the way. A window of the room occupied by Mrs. Conant, the guest, had been left open and through this the burglar Continued on page 8. y; OUR greatest asset is your character, your second greatest as set is your personality, you outward appear ance.
