CHURCHES TO RUN DANCES.
Omaha Pastors Consider i Noiel Plan
V
to Combat Vice.
MINISTERS INSPECT ALL-NIGHT RESORTS
Church Dances Would Be Held Under the
Eye of Religious Workers.
Word comes from Omaha that a
proposition is under way in Omaha by
several of the churches, by which
they hope to provide four halls in
which to hold dances for the young
people who now frequent the public
dance halls of the city. It is planned
to hold these dances twice a week,
and to have in attendance each night
one of the church women, who will be
interested in this work for the young
people. The'Reverend B. II. Bell is
at the head of the plan..
With a party of newspaper people,
guided by Mogy Bernstein and Assist-'
ant Probation Orticer Career, and Un
der ,the protecting .wing of two. city
detectives, the Reverend Mr. Bell vis
ited the dance"' halls of "Omaha, the
other night and remained until a late
hdu'r to study the conditions, under
which1 many young people take their
Saturday . night 'amusement. ' Three
dance halls were visited, i, ,-: i
The' managers eyed the party anx
iously and offered them every cour
tesy; a vivid contrast to the visits of
a year ago, when much trouble was
encountered by the probation officers
in getting into the halls. At each
place tbe party was asked if all
was to their liking as to the man
ner in which a proper, self-respeting
dance hall should be run. The door
keepers cheerfully offered to elimi
nate any dances not conforming to
the standard.
"What are you going to do?'' In
quired one of the detectives, who had
accompanied them. "The've got to
have some amusement, for these young
folks. Many of the girls have no
homes where they care to invite their
company, and there is no place for
them but the dance halls and tbe
parks and the theaters. Why don't
the churches get to gether on this
question and provide some wholesome
amusement for these young people'"
"We are planning to do this," said
Mr. Bell, when the tour of inspection
was over. "We hope to establish at
lcastfour halls in Omaha, where young
people may go to dance decently and
in order. Dancing is a natural amuse
ment for young people, and I am
heartily in favor of it. But the romp'
ing and hugging which I have seen
tonight is not dancing. It is some
thing beyond my comprehension. This
head-to-head business is not dancing.
If we establish our dance balls, as we
hope to do, we will have ladles In
charge of the halls who will look after
the young people and see that every
thing is conducted decently and In
order. We recognize the fact that
they must have proper recreation,
and that they must provide some
thing better In the place of these
balls. We hope to lay this matter be
fore the Omaha Woman's club and to
have their co-operation in the mat
ter."
A great deal of good has been ac
complished by the rigid, watch kept
over tbe dance halls by Bernstein and
his staff, and the boys and girls under
1(1, -as weir as Immoral characters,
have been weeded out.

The W. C. T. I'. held a very Inter-
estlng meeting Tuesday afternoon at
tbe M. E. church. Amon tin items
of interest was the report of the state
convention which was held at Aurora,
and at which our Home union was the

RED SOX LOSE TO SOLDIERS
ist 6ame of Season Results 9 to 6 In
Favor of Fort Crook.
HE VICTORIOUS TEAM 6ETS HILARIOUS
nd in the Mixup With the Police, Nine
Members f the Thirtieth Regi
ment are rrested.
In the last game of the season,
played by tbe Red Sox and the crack
team of the Thirtieth reglmcnt.whlch
returning to their post at Fort
Crook, after taking part -lii the ma
neuvers at Fort Riley, Kan., the home
team were defeated by a score of J to G.
The soldiers played excellent ball, and
although the locals put up a stubborn
fight for the honors they were unable
to overcome the lead which . Fort
Crook secured In the fourth inning,
when four runs were chalked up' to
their credit. -
Score by innings: .'
Red Sox .....1 2 0 0 3 0 0 0
0-0
0-9
Fort Crook 0 0242100
Batteries: Graves, Wilkins
and
Fitzgerald; Stack and Walet.
After the victory won from the Red
Sox, the soldiers proceeded to cele
brate by attempting to absorb the
greater part of the local stock of
'corn juice," and when several of
them had acquired too much for their
own good they engaged in an alterca
tion that soon resulted In a free for all
mix. When Chief of Police Fitzgerald
and Night Folice Slater attempted to
quell the disturbance by arresting the
principal offenders, they were. Inter
fered with by others, but after a tus
sle lasting close onto an hour, nine
soldiers, among whom was Captain
Bent, were incarcerated In the county
bastile. Captain Bent and three
others were later released, but the
others were arraigned before Judire
Archer Wednesday to answer charges
of being drunk, fighting and disturb
ing the peace to which charges the
quintet plead guilty, and four were
assessed tines of $10 and costs while
one received 8r and costs. These lines
were suspended pending good behavior.
From the reports we receive of the
fracas, there was something doing on
the streets last evening and many rash
threats uttered by the soldiers, who
wanted to go to their camp near
Oreapolls and secure arms with which
to clean out the town, and release
their comrades and ofllcer from the
Jail. Wild rumors of a suit for $10,000
damages, to be brought against the
city by Captain Bent were circulating
about the streets late last night, but
of this we have heard nothing further
today.
The baseball team of the Thirtieth
United States Infantry, whose
members were in the disturbance last
night, returned to Fort Crook this af
ternoon on No. 7.
The Millinery Joke.
Comic papers could hardly exist

their wives and daughters to have
stylish millinery. . The effect of tbe
most becoming toilet Is instantly

A Letton From a Postage Stamp.
" Younir man. consider tho ixwUite ntunipl
In Influence and ltnllllty tout Irk
TV one thing until It wU there."
There Is considerable amount of
truth In the above quotation, which
should be memorized by every young
man who posesses the ambition to
rise and It should be brought to mind
everyday In the week. The caliber
of a young man Is shown by his abll
Ity to stick to a task no matter what
obstacles he may have to surmount to
complete it, for like the postage stamp
his usefulness In the world of business
lies In his sticking to one thing until
It is completed; In truth, .the young
man has to contend within endless
chain of tasks, and as loon as one Is
completed, he Is brought face to face
with a new one. Tho youtfg manwuo

tbe only one to revelve a visit from
the night prowlers, as a tool chest
and many and dlverous other ar

6ETS A FEW DOLLARS AND 60LD WATCH
From Mr. Waiting's Clothes, Which Were
Found In Pantry Window, Through
Which Entrance Was Secured.
When Tom Walling awoke this
morning from a night of undisturbed
repose, he reached out to obtain his
clothes, which he is accustomed to
place upon a chair nearby and falling
to discover them In this immediate
room he hastened to, Inquire 'of his'
wife In regard to their location. Mrs.1
Walling . was unable to answer tills
query, until in the search that follow
ed for truant apparel, they were found
them neatly folded with the purse
lying on top of In the pantry window,
which on a.further examination show
ed that It had been pried open during
the night and an entrance thus secur
ed by the stealthy thief, who had de
prived Mr. Walling of several dollars In
cash and a valuable gold watch.
After Investigating the extent of
his loss, Mr. Walling was exceedingly
glad to see that several drafts, checks
and other papers had been left by the
midnight visitor, who either failed to
observe them, or did not desire to take
chances on passing them off.
Tbe Walling family did not retire
until nearly 11 o'clock last night, and
did not have the least Intimation that
a burglar had been In the house, took
Mr. Waiting's clothes from beside his

household until the morning light dis
closed the undisputed evidence.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTYTICKET
One of the Best Tickets Ever Nominated
la Ciss County.
W. B. BANNIN6 ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Speeches Made bj T. J. Dojie, Candidate
for Congress, and Ljsli I. Abbott,
Candidate for Attorney General.
The convention met at the Parmele
theatre at 1:30 Wednesday. In the
absence or the chairman of the demo
cratic central committee, H. R. Ger
lng, the secretary, M. A. Bates, called
the meeting to order. W. B. Banning,
of Liberty precinct, was elected chair
man and M. A. Bates secretary. The
convention was not largely attended,
there being tr.reo precincts unrepre
sented. The following are tho gentle
men who were nominated:
Senator Henry R. Gerlng.
Reprcsentatives-H. F. Langhorst,
of Elm wood, and F. M. Massle, of Mt.
Pleasant precinct.
Commissioner, First District --Geo.
V. Snyder, of Plattsmouth precinct.
County Attorney I). (). Dwycr. '
W. B. Banning was elected chair
man of tho county central committee,
which demonstrates to a dead, moral
certainty that there will bo something
done ere the ides of November roll
round. ,
After the 'nominations were made,
T. J. Doyle, candidate for congress bij-
ng present, was called upon, and was
Introduced In a neat little speecli by
Chairman Banning. Mr. Doyle's re
marks were principally confined to
state Issues. He demonstrated to the
satisfaction of his hearers that he was
a gentleman of ability, and, if elected
to represent the First district, he
would fill the bill much better than
the position had been filled In the
past six years. He is a tine speaker
and was repeatedly applauded during
bis speech.
Lysle I. Abbott, candidate for at
torney general, was also present, and
when called upon, came to the front,
and after being introduced to the con
vention, made a most telling speech
We are sorry there were not more re
publicans present to hear the truths
presented by Mr. Abbott. As with
Mr. 'Doyle, his remarks were prlncl
pally confined to state Issues, except
that he gave a brief account of the re
ceptlon of Mr. Bryan In New York,
Mr. Abbott is a fluent talker and if
elected to the Important position of
attorney general he will not "beat
around the bush," in defending the
rights of the people as well as seeing
that the corporations get their Just
dues also. He showed uo Norrv
Brown In line shape,and demonstrated
that he was deceiving the people In
his effort to Jump into the United
States senate, by his attempt to play
into the hands of the people and the
corporations both at the same time.
liotb Mr. Doyle and Mr. Abbott
made most favorable impressions upon
all who met them. Even republicans
complimented Mr. Doyle's appearance
and ability, and expressed themselves
as being among those who would
rejoice If "Easy Money" Pollard Is suc
ceeded by a man of such presence and
ability.
After the speeches of both gentle
men the convention proceeded to the
election of a new county central com1
mlttee, and the following gentlemen
were selected from the various pre
clncU:

The Ticket Nominated.
In the nomination of Henry R. Ger
Irig for state senator, the democrats
hive a candidate In whom tho party
cau feel proud. Mayor Gerlng has
been honored on several occasions by
cfcctlon to office, and In each , In
stance, the positions have came, to
him unsought. He - has been twice
elected, tmajor of the city of Platts
muuin, nas served several 'terms as
chairman of the democratic county
committee, and also as a member of
the state and congressional commit
tecs, and In each capacity has proved
himself "the right man In the right
place," as he will, also, If elected to
the state senate. He has repeatedly
refused to be a candidate, and In the
recent congressional convention could
have had the nomination for congress
by saying he would accept. Mr. Ger-
Ing Is a hustler, and by the unanimity
with which the nomination for sena-
ator came to him, Is enough to know
that Mr. Gerlng Is one of the most
popular men In Cass county.
L. F. Langhorst and F. M. Massle,
the nominees for representatives, arc
well qualified to fill the positions. The
former is a merchant and the latter
is a farmer.
Mr. Langhorst has been a successful
businessman of Elmwood for a num
ber of years, and is a gentleman and
scholar In every sense of the term.
The nomination came to Mr. Lang
horst unanimously, and without any
request upon his part. The friends
and neighbors who have known him
so long', and realizing his excellent
qualities and great popularity, were
the ones who insisted upon his nomi
nation. Mr. Langhoist has hosts of
friends in every section of the county,
who will "pull off their coats and roll
up their sleeves" and work earnestly
for his election. Tho Journal believes
Mr. Langhorst Is one of the best men
for representative In the legislature in
Cass county, and that he will rellect
credit not only upon his constituents,
hut also upon himself as a 'member of
that body.
F. M. Massle has lived in Lass
county for years and years, and having
always served in one capacity or an
other In democratic councils, lie Is
well known In all sections of the
county. Frank Massle Is one of the
common people, a good man for the
position for which he was nominated,
and the voters of Cass county can do
pend upon having a true friend In the
next legislature If ho Is elected.' Mr.
Massle lives In Mt. Pleasant precinct,
where ho has been anactlvo tiller of
the soil all his life.
Georgo W. Snyder, one of the best
men that God ever put breath In, was
nominated for county commissioner.
Mr. Snyder is a farmer and lives four
miles southwest of Plattsmouth. lie
was endorsed by the convention be
cause nis mends knew that he was
the proper man for this responsible
position, and would look after the In
terests of the taxpayers of tho dis
trict. As the board of commissioners
Is now composed, every member Is a
republican, and It seems no more than
ust and proper that the democrats
should be represented when the Inter
ests of tho people of tho entire county
need looking after. George Snyder is
not a man who can bo Inlluenced
party feeling to do anything but what
ho thinks is right in doing business for
the people. This is why he should be
elected from the First district.
In the nomination ot D. O. Dwyer
for county attorney, the democrats
have a candidate who is we'l known
to the people of Cass county. They
know he is an eminent lawyer, and
that he is a man who will not wait
for "a wave of reform to pass over the
county" before deciding what his duty
shall be. Mr. Dwyer Is a firm believer
in law and order, and If he is chosen
county attorney the people can rely
upon seeing that all laws are enforced
and criminals punished according to
the deeds committed. While not a
fanatic on any matter of reform, he is
a man of firmness In business matters,
and It can be expected that he will do
his duty, as he sees his duty, and not
consult with anyone before he acts In
matters pertaining to those duties.
D. O. Dwyer is a good man for county
attorney, and the signs of the times
Indicate his election.
Tbe convention done Its work well
In the selection of tho above candl
dates and also In the selection of W.
B' Banning for chairman of the coun
ty committee. The campaign will be
gin as soon as the committee and can
didatcs can have a meeting, and de
clde upon tbe manner of proceedure
This meeting will probably be held
some time next week.
