The Senior class of the High school

lower classmen, the Juniors, gave a

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

and counsel a they laeve their school
work behind them and start out into
the world.
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.
Tent Show Tonight.
Lack of space will not permit a
brilliant writeup of the features of
Cole circus which shows tonight
under Canvas on the lots at Fifth fuul
Vine, but will say that the manage
ment had an open date on their books
and being just over the river in Iowa
decided to fill in at Platsniouth, and
will return to the Iowa side tomorrow.
Their show consists of acrobatic feats,
singing and dancing and will no doubt
please. Get the children ready and
give them the treat by taking them to
the first circus of the season.

BEST BASE
EVER
Score Ends Two to Nothing in Favor
of Fort Crook Infantry.
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

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.

Best He Had Witnessed.
The Plattsmouth debaters were
placed at great advantage from the
fact that they had a long time to
familiarize them selves with their sub
ject and arguments,whilc on the other
hand the Wahoo team had but a short
time in which to prepare for the con
tcst.having debated the affirmative
side in the debate with David City.
We wish to compliment the Platts
mouth team on their splendid work
They arc good speakers and the man
ner of their delivery showed they
had had careful and able training
The Wahoo ticbaters showed remark
able skill in their arguments, delivery
and team work, showing they had fine
training, much to the credit of Prof.
Walton. 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. Wahoo Wasp,

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
