Other Developments In the Fro
fct gress ol the Big Patriotic
Celebration.
There is jming to lie seine eietietd
class to the.l'ouith of July ccleluutii.n
to be Riven in the city of Plattsmouth
on the Nation's hirthday, which is
ajveek from Monday. Every member
ofthe Red'. Men, under whose aus
pices the celebration is to be given,
has got the one idea on his mind that
the day is to be the biggest anil grand
est one that Cass county has ever
seen. They are sitting up nights
thinking up attractions and events
that are new and will please the peo
ple; they are taking hours of time
from their business to solicit subscrip
tions, work up the big parade, anil ar
range for scores of concessions that
are going to crowd the streets. They
are putting up n tin can full of cart
wheels as prizes for the best floats
the best boxer, wrestler, etc. They
have made u dozen fivers look like
thirty cents in renting the ferry to
operate it free during the entire dav-
1o make something interesting for the
young folks, and to book a good
list of free attractions for the crowd
in general. To make a long tale
short, they are putting forth every
possible effort, financially, mentally,
and physically, to make the celebra
tion perfect in every detail,
and if they leave any stones unturned
in making the day x most glorious
one the city has ever experienced, it
is because! the stones are as immov
able as a wait on the eye ball.
The committee having the different
details of the celebration in charge,
having been holding meetings fre
quently the past three weeks, the last
one being held Monday evening, when
nearly all the elcatils of the day,
powwow were definitely settled.
The most important action e,f the
week was the signing up of the Provui
Carnival company Wednesday after
noon, when Harry Lewis, represent
ing the concern, was in the city con
ferring with the members of the com
mittee. The contract for the np-pearnju-e
if the big company was
drawn up at the attorney's cilice in
the afternoon untl calls for nine at
tractions with two free thrillers, a
bullion ase-e nsion nnd a slide for life.
The shows are
Nerva, t he I ig snake.
Melba's I ig show.

Dixie band Minstrels.
Mel-addon's Colli go of Anatomy.
Skidi.o 25.

Carry-us-all.
The carnival company is holding
up a line reputation. It has just
finished a money-mag week for Pea-
trice and is now being on at Wymore
by the fire depaitmeiit. The first
part of next week it is booked for
Wahoo. It will land here Thursday,
be.et up I'liday and open for business
Saturday night before the Pouith. The
streets have been blocked off and each
show has been allot te el a space, with
a merry-go-round anil one or two
others at the intersections.
At Monday's meeting, the commit
tee got their line on another at
traction: they formed a healthy purse
to put up for the compete tive exhibi
tion of the different turner societies
of the, city, but as the time for pre
paration is so shoit, the organization
hardly feel they can go into the con-
test.although the T. J. Hokols will be
secured to give an exhibition tf mat
work, setting up exercises and ca
istheiiics. The class contains a gocd
bunch of fifteen or twenty athletes.
Reports from Frank h'chlater and
Thomas Wahling of the parade cin -mittee
showed that Unto' would le i.t
least forty merchants who would enter
floats in the procestioii. The major
ity of the business nun were keen
gout pushing the parade and aftir
agreeing to be represented in the pro
cesMoii, they got bu.-y incorstiucting
thtir outfits wbh ihc nsiilt that to
day several of the l.u.-iiuss houses
have their exhibitions well blocked
out. All the lodges in the city, with
the exceptions perhaps of two smaller
ones, informed the committee that
they sould bank on tin m being in
line stronger than summer butter.
With the mershaiits, lodges and shops
Plattsmouth will have a parade
of at least seventy-five entries which
v. ill cover a dozen or more blocks
The procession will be headed Ly the
M. W. A. band which is to furnish
music during the entire day, so there
will be no lack i f sweet tiauis to keep
matters livened up. ,
