Have a Merry Time
The Ladies club and their friends in
large numbers iret at the home of John
Urish, some seven or eight miles south
west of Mynar i last Saturday evening-,
and had a joi'.y time. The object of
the meeting was for two purposes, the
raising of some of tr.e needful, for the
use of the club in the paying of the cur
rent expenses. But the prime object
being the having of the time, they did
have, in which everybody was more
than made welcome. Ice cream was
served and everybody enjoyed the eat
ing. The net receipts from the tables
after paying the expenses were $29,
which the ladies thought was doing very
well. The affair -will long be remem
bered, as one at which everybody was
entirely at home and enjoyed the oc
casion. Plenty of Water Now

BIG AUCTION SALE
CLOSES SATURDAY
Only a Few More Days to Se
cure Goods at Your Own
Price
When the doors close on the big auc
tion sale Saturday evening the golden
opportunity for purchasing good sum
mer, fall and winter goods at your own
price will be over. This is positively
the last week of the sale, and all goods
that remain in the stock after that time
will be disposed of in some other man
ner, perhaps shipped to some other
point.
Col. Fanger will take the place of
Col. Sonnenberg and the sale will be
conduc ted with courtesy and kind treat
ment to all, and the ladies are especial
ly invited to attend these sales, and an
opportunity will be given all to pur
chase at private sale or auction.
Remember there are many bargains
left, and especially in the winter goods
line, which has been a rather slow sale
owing to the season, which will pay you
to buy now even in advance of the ap
proaching cold weather, at the prices
that are now offered you.
Mr. Fanger's services are needed at
the Department store, and it is almost
the season for him to go to the eastern
markets for the new winter goods, and
this line must be disposed of, so bear in
mind that four more days is all that re
mains for you to buy goods at this great
sacrifice sale as Saturday night will see
the finish.
This is possibly the first time in the
history of Plattsmouth that one of its
merchants took such an active part in
the disposition of his stock as to mount
the auctioneer's block and c ry the sale
himself. In many respects this should
please the purchaser more than a stran
ger to do the same work. Mr. Fanger
understands the line of goods, knows
the value of every article, and he will
tell you such before a bid is called for
and he tell you right too. Make it a point
to attend the sale tonight.

Wheat on the curb last night broke
cent below the closing price and it look
ed as though the market would show
quite a decline this morning, but there
was nothing to it.. Wheat only opened
off about i cent and and then recorded
the entire loss in the first hour, later
on selling up over a cent above yester
day's close, but got weak in the latter
part of the session and broke a full cent
from the high point, closing with only J
gain for the day.
Corn opened a shade higher on Dec.
and May and up on Sept., sold off
cent in the first hour, then advanced
again to i higher than the opening,
holding within a narrow range the rest
of the session and closing a fraction
higher than last night. Don't forget
to sell a little corn on the bulges.
Oats opened steady to a shade higher
and gradually worked up until it reached
a cent above yesterday's close, holding
strong all day and closing near the high
point. Light receipts are expected for
tomorrow which may be the cause of
this strength or it may be they are on
the road to the long predicted 50 cents.
If they reach that figure have your
orders in for a short sale. They are
not worth that much money even for
breakfast food.
New York stocks opened weak this
morning and recorded some new low
marks. There was evidence of good
buying shortly after the opening, check
ing the decline and causing prices to
advance 3 or 4 points from the low.
There is a very heavy short interest in
this market and would not be surprised
to see an effort made to run them in.
The market has been very much over
sold and any favorable news would re
sult in much higher prices. Buy Harri
man stocks, St. Paul, steel, copper and
Atchison around these figures.
LARGE CROWDS AT
THE CHAUTAUQUA
The Daily Program is Very
Entertaining and all Praise
Elmwood.
In the Morning
There was an immense crowd in Elm
wood yesterday in attendance at both
the Institute and Chautauqua. During
the morning the entire time was given
to the Institute work. Great interest
is being taken in the work. During the
morning Superintendent of Schools J.
W. Gamble delivered an address which
was well received, and was very instruc
tive. E. L. Rouse delivered two or three
short talks, but while short, were pithy
and to the point and very instructive.
There was even a larger number of
teachers present the day before, the
number passing the 150 mark, which is
away above any pievious attendance.
In the Afternoon
The Harmony Concert company made
their first appearance at the Chautau
qua yesterday afternoon and made good
with their opening number. They are
popular with all people on the grounds.
At 2:.'50 Val Keyser, assistant superin
tendent of the Farmers' institute, spoke
briefly of the institute work as it had
been done and of work planned for the
future. At the conclusion of his address
he introduced Prof. Hunt of Syracuse,
who gave a splendid address on "Agri
cultural Education." He pointed out
clearly the ideal farm life and farm
works. His address was classic, and
yet simple and understood by all. At
seven the Elmwood fand gave another
popular concert. After an hour's con
cert by the Harmony Concert company
the American Vitagraph entertained the
people for an hour. Ideal weather con
tinues, the crowds are daily increasing
and everything points to a most succes
ful affair.
In the Evening
D. O. Fulmer of Beatrice, took most
of the evening in his talk on "Treatice
of History in the Public Schools and the
Necessity of More than an Ordinary
Knowledge of the Subject." Tr
knowledge of the elements of the his
tory of our own couuty, said he, many
will readily acknowledge, but he in his
talk, showed that it was necessary for
any one who would read the current
literature must understand it in the full
est sense not only know the escentials
of the history of his own country, but
must also know that of other countries
and be able to deduct efFects from
causes as taught by the events which
have gone to make up the histories of
all nations and at all times. The tent
in which he spoke is estimated to have
a capacity of about three thousand and
this was filled to the limit, and more
would have attended had it been possi
ble to have comfortably taken care of
them. Both the Institute and Chautau
qua are proving a success beyond what
was expected, and the friends of both
are more than gratified.
Masomic Home Well Conducted
J. A. Hudelson was a visitor in the
city this morning, where he comes to
ascertain how the Masonic Home at
this plaoe is conducted. The reason is
that there is in Lincoln a worthy super
anuated mason, and the impression has
gained foothold at the capitol city that
the home here is not a very well con
ducted institution. The visit of Mr
Hudelson here today is for the purpose
of ascertaining just how the home is
being conducted. During the time that
the home has been in operation here it
has been conducted in the best manner
possible. The writer has been a fre
quent visitor at the home having been
on very friendly terms with a number
of Masons who have made their home
.there, some of whom have recently
died, and more who still remain at the
home. Our observation is that they re
cieve the very best of attention, and
care, as much so, as if they were at
their homes, in some cases it would ap
pear that they received better treat
ment. The Farmers Elevator
The contract for the farmers elevator
which is to be erected at Cedar Creek
has been let, George H. Birchart of Lin- j
coin, getting the job. The elevator to
be erected will have a capacity of fifteen
thousand bushels of grain, and will be
equipped with the latest and best facil-!
ities for the economical handling of grain
The bins will be constructed with hop-
per bottoms, which will make them self!
cleaning, and by this means a great la- j
tor saving over the fiat bottom bins,
though it makes the capacity slightly j
less. They wi'.I have a hopper scale ;
which weighs automatically, and dumps j
into the cars at the same time, which !
registers the exact amount of grain load-i
ed into any one car. They are having
the latest and most approved dumps con
structed as well as the best kind of gas
engines for the power. The company
expect to be ready to handle the grow- j
ing crop of corn. The elevator wil be '
under the management of Wm. Sthnei-j
der.

Children's Slippers
Outing in Custer County
Judge II. I). Travis returned last even
ing from a trip to Custer county, where
he was looking at the land and at thecoun-
try, and having an outing. One day he
was out with a driver looking over the
country, and as they became much in
terested in the country, they did not
note the lapse of time or much as to the
location of familiar objects, until noth
ing became familiar.
As the afternoon wore away into the
evening they were caught for away from
where they had designed to be, when
the shades of evening were to fall. It
finally became dark and they were driv
ing, and the horses must have been as
badly otr as the men for they did not
know where to go either. After it had
grown intensely dark, the Judge sug
gested that perhaps the driver had lost
his way. Mr. Driver dec lared not and
that he could find his way out, and said
that there was a house just at the side.
So getting out of the rig he proceeded
to find it, while the Judge waited. When
he did not return the Judge called, so
softly, and then with more force, until
he was shouting in the black abyss. Af
ter shouting for a while he quit, and
waited, and while he waited he dropped
off asleep, to awake in the morning to
find the driver had wandered away five
miles. Now the judge calls this an out
ing which is an outing.
Swedish Mission Picnic
The Swedish Mission church and Sun
day school held the last Sunday's ses
sion of their services in the grove just
across from Mrs. Lutz's south of the
city. In the pleasant grove they sang
their songs and studied their Sunday
school lessons, listened to the pleasant
sermon of Rev. J. F. Swanson, ate
their dinner and supper in the cool shade
of the grove. They had a fine time,
the older people talking of the things
pertaining to their church work while
tne little ones after they had finished
their lessons, sang songs and played be
neath the friendlv trees.
