From Monday's Dally. !
The base ball season of 1910 clos
ed rather unpropitiously for the
local boys yesterday when they went
up against the strong Storz Triumphs
team from the metropolis in a double
header on the Chicago avenue
grounds. -
Owing to the condition of the
grounds, caused by the rain of Fri
day night, the game that was to have
been played Saturday was postponed
till Sunday, with the result that there
was & good crowd out to witness the
contest. They were not disappointed,
as the quality of ball on tap was of
a high order, many of the fans re
marking that the boys were playing
ball "that was seldom seen In the
brush."
The beginning of the first game
was a pretty exhibition of ball, the
locals petting two hits off of Lotz,
but failing to score. The visitors hit
Harry Smith, of the Fremont league
team, who was on the 6lab for the
Plattsmouth team, for two, but also
failed to make those two good. In
their half of the fourth, however, the
visitors got one, and In the fifth they
broke It up with a double to right
by Hall and Drummy's home run
over the red barn. This swat came
p.s Fomewhat of a surprise to the
crowd, as Smith had been holding
the Triumphs In good order. It was
it rleon drive over the corner of the
red barn and one of the longest hits
made here this season, winning the
game for Omaha, as the locals were
unable to connect with Lotz. This U
the second game that the crafty
Omaha lad has won on the local
grounds, he being on the slab for the
Red Sox last week when they pulled
the SI 50 and first place In the tour
nament from the Tabor boys last
. week.
The first game yesterday was
marred by considerable rag chewing
on the part of both teams, the same
being somewhat justifiable as it was
occasioned by the putrid umpiring of
ye blythesome stranger with the red
sweater from the metropolis. In the
middle of the first game the odor of
this Greek's decisions became so rank
that the crowd demanded his "Goat"
and forthwith got it, he retiring in
favor of Smith, the erstwhile second
baseman and things for the Sox. The
latter was not spotless, as his eye
sight was evidently Impaired when it
ame to the matter of balls and strikes
but nevertheless he was far and
away to the good when it came to a
comparison with the "fair unknown."
Two particularly glaring decisions
were the cause of the stranger's
downfall, one when he called Mann
out at first, on the antiquated stunt
of the first baseman running off and
back for the throw, and the other
when he called Harry Smith out at
second, when he overran the bag.
The second game was better base
ball, being a pitchers' battle between
Durkee for the visitors and our own
Barney Bardwell. Neither side got
a run till the eighth, although In the
first inning the Storz were threatened
with a score when they had two on
bases, and no one down. Barney
pulled out of the hole In nice style,
striking out Drummy and Eastman,
the heaviest hitters In the lineup, and
retiring the side without a score.
It looked like Plattsmouth's game
In the eighth when, with Smith on
third, and Beal on second, Droege
hit a clean one to center, scoring
Smith. The crowd went wild when
Smith came In with what looked to
be the winning run, but the third out
was made when Beal tried to score
and the throw caught him at the
plate.
In their half of the ninth the visit
ors got Hall to second on a double
to right, and scored him on Drum
my's double to center, after that Bar
ney went to the bad and everybody
got to him. When the smoke cleared
away the visitors had four tallies
In our half of the ninth, Droege
pulled off a sensational play, stealing
home under the catcher's nose. This
was all, however, and the fans went
home disappointed.
This will probably be the last game
of the season and makes five straight
for the Storz. The Journal Is plan
ning a review of the season's games,
and hopes to have It this week.
We cannot close this article with
out a few words commendatory to
the young men composing Storz
Triumphs. They have visited Platts
mouth frequently during the season
and on every occasion they have be
haved themselves as gentlemen, and
by so doing have won the respect of
our people. And at any time they
choose to come, either In or out of
the base ball season, their visits to
Plattsmouth will always be warmly
welcomed.
The Lincoln Journal has the fol
lowing to say In reference to Hon.
John A. Magulre, democratic candl
date for re-election to congress from
this, the First congressional district.
Mr. Magulre is a self-made man, as
the following Is sufficient to convince
most any Intelligent voter:
"John A. Magulre, the present
member of congress from this dis
trict, came to Lincoln fifteen years
ago as a student of the University of
Nebraska and has since lived here.
"He is one of a family of eight
children, born in Illinois In 1872 and
transplanted as a 6mall child with his
parents to a government homestead
on the unsettled prairies near Plank
ton, S. D. He there grew to man
hood and worked on the farm, at
tending district school during the
winter months, often traveling to
tchool a distance of five miles. The
development of the new country with
frequent drouths, blizzards and crop
failures occasioned many hardships,
and his struggle has always been
against odds. He Is purely a western
product, a pioneer and one of a pio
neer family.
He took a course and graduated
from the Iowa agricultural college
rnd then entered the University of
Nebraska and graduated from the
academic course in 1898 and law in
1899. During his college course he
defrayed his expenses by work while
a student in school. In 1904 he was
president of the alumni association.
"Mr. Maguire served In 1900 and
1902 as deputy county treasurer of
Lancaster county, after which he
entered the practice of law in Lin
coln. He was a 'delegate in 1904
from this district to the democratic
national convention at St. Louis. In
1008 Mr. Maguire entered the prima
ries without opposition as democratic
candidate for congress. He made his
campaign against Congressman Pol
lard on strictly national Issues, ship
subsidy and Cannonlsm, and was
elected by a substantial majority. He
is a candidate for re-election."

A NEW CHURCH BUILD
ING FOR PLATTSMOUTH
AN DELIGHTFUL RULE
AT HOME OF A. E. TOOD
From Monday's Dally.
A. E. Todd and his family and
friends enjoyed a musical treat Sun
day which U seldom given ordinary
mortals. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cox,
two of the finest musicians in Omaha,
with other members of the Cox Orch
estra of Omaha, came to Plattsmouth
Saturday evening and visited Mr.
Todd and family over Sunday. The
members of the orchestra, beside Mr.
and Mrs. Cox, were Mr. and Mrs. E.
M. Clark and sons, Richard, Edwin 1
and Martin, Miss Hazel Wilcox and
Mr. Will Hetherlngton.
At the Todd home yesterday after
noon Mr. Cox and his estimable wife
charmed their listeners with the
sweetest strains of Instrumental and
vocal music. There were quintets,
trios, duets and solos on violin, piano
and other stringed instruments.
Mr. Clark is probably the best
musician In Omaha, and Is the head
of an orchestra of about sixty peo
ple. He is a cultured, scholarly gen
tleman, and has been before the musi
cal public for several years. He Is
a graduate of the Des Moines Musical
college, and was for three years head
of the musical department of the
Missouri State University, at Colum
bia, and was the head of the Iowa
musical Institution at Des Moines for
three years more. He has been In
Omaha something over a year, and
has made bia Impression on the
musical devotees of that city. Mr.
Clark did a large amount of post
graduate work In Europe, and there
are few Instructors In music who
excel him.
It is to be hoped that some means
can be brought to bear that will in
duce Mr. Cox to bring his orchestra
to Plattsmouth for an evening during
the winter. Mr. Cox and his party
returned to Omaha this morning,
having had a pleasant outing at Mr,
Todd's.
LOYAL SONS AND DAUGH
TERS HOLDS SOCIAL
From Tuesday's Dally
The Loyal Sons and Loyal Daugh
ters of the Christian Sunday school
held i'"tr regular monthly business
meeting last evening at the home of
Robert Newell, In the Third ward.
About twenty-five members were
present and enjoyed a social evening
after the transaction of the regular
grist of business. Among other
things receiving attention of the
classes was the mapping out of a
course and plan of study of the Sun
day school lessons. The plan adopt
ed 13 the systematic continuous plan
of bible study, taking up for the en
suing year the Gospels, and later will
follow this up by taking up the dif
ferent books separately. The social
feature of the evening was very much
enjoyed, and light refreshments, con
sisting of Ice cream and cake were
served. At a late hour the company
dispersed after voting Robert Newell
a royal Loyal Son and a good enter
tainer.
From Monday's Dally.
Rev. B. F. Elchelberg, of Taber,
returned to his home this morning,
having held services yesterday In
South Park, for the Independent
Church of Christ. This denomina
tion will build a church In that part
of the city In the near future. Mr.
I. B. Green has donated a site for the
new structure, which will be some
distance north of where the Baptist
church formerly stood. A part of
the funds have already been sub
scribed by Iowa members, and an
effort will be made among the con
gregation and others in Plattsmouth
to raise the balance of the money.
That locality In the city needs a place
of worship, as it Is rather far re
moved from the central part of the
town. We hope the committee may
receive the required donations for
this church, and there Is no doubt
since the matter has been favorably
considered by the Iowa people, but
the Plattsmouth membership will do
Its part also.
From Monday's Dally.
A team belonging to William Kauf
mann, took a notion they wanted to
return home last evening a little
faster than usual. And In starting
they ran upon a sidling place in the
road, throwing Mr. Kaufmann out, at
which they took a fresh start. They
ran up Main street to Sixth, thence
on Pearl to Chicago avenue.
The runaway team had proceeded
but a short distance on the avenue
before it collided with the buggy
driven hv W. D. Jones. The team
was going with such force as to com
pletely upset Mr. Jones' vehicle as
well as the animal attached to it,
throwing Mr. Jones and his wife to
th B-imind with treat force. It
rhnnrpd to be that Mr. and Mrs
Jones alighted in the soft mud near
the pavement adjacent to the Klnser
property. Their clothing was badly
soiled, but fortunately no bones were
broken.
Mr. Jones' horse lay perfectly still
until the harness was loosened so
that it could get up, which It did and
ran off a few rods and began to feed
on the grass. At the time the col
lision occurred Mrs. Jones was carry
ing a fine bouquet of flowers, which
she still held In her hands when as
sisted to her feet, and apparently
Mrs. Jones was little excited. The
buggy was damaged considerably, the
shaft being broken, and the axel
sprung, and the harness were broken.
The runaway team struck Jones' rig
so hard that it broke loose from the
buggy to which It was hitched, and
made the rest of the Journey down
the avenue without anything at
tached. The team was captured and
in about an hour were brought back
to town and again hitched to the
buggy.
Mr. Kaufmann was not Injured, to
speak of, when he was thrown from
the vehicle.
his Makes the Second Motion
Which the Supreme Court
Has Overruled
The supreme court Saturday over
ruled tho motion of tho Bell Tele
phone company to modify the court
temporary injunction to permit the
connection ef the Bell company with
the Iinttsinouth and the Nebraska
City and the Papilllon Independent
companies, three companies which
the Bell company had bought.
This makes the second motion
which the court has overruled. First
overruled a motion to make the
Independent telephone system of Ne
braska a party cofendant to the
charge that the Dell company hal
entered a conspiracy against trade
In buying up InJe-pendent companies,
contrary to the anti-trust law which
prevents one competing company
from buying another competing com
pany.
The main case Is still before the
court for dekviiilnutlon and a referee
will probably Lt appointed by the
court In view of the fact that the at
torney eeneral who filed the com
plaint against the Boll company, and
he Bell and the three purchased In
deDendent companies have failed to
agree upon a referee.
The motion of the three purchased
companies to require the attorney
general to amend his petition by
making tho Independent telephone
system of Nebraska a party defend
ant has been overruled and the mo
tion of the Bell, or Nebraska Tele
phone company, to modify the tern
porary Injunction by permitting the
Bell company to connect with its pur
chased companies Is thus far a
victory for the attorney general. It
was charged by the purchased com
panies that the attorney general or
the state was not the real party in
Interest, but that the Independent tel
ephone system was the real party.
The court now has before it the
question of making the temporary In
junction permanent. In order to de
termine whether or not the Bell tele
phone company Is a party to a con
splracy in restraint of trade the court
will appoint a referee to take testl
monv and to renort facts and con
clusions of law.
The suit Is considered one of Im
portance in that It may Involve the
question of physical connection of all
of the different telephone companies
In Nebraska.
Thanks to the People.
Manager Brantner, of the Red Sox
Base Ball team, desires through tho.
columns of the Journal to thank the
public in general for their many
kindnesses and patronage during the
past summer, and to assure them on
behalf of the entire team that all they
have done has been greatly apprecia
ted. While the attendance might have
been larger, we have tried to give
each and every one their money's
worth In the best games possible with
but one view in mind, that the at
tendance can bo greatly increased
next season. With this point In view,
on behalf of the team I wish to thank
you one and all for our success In
the season Just closed.

Not Meant Locally. t,
A little Item in last week's Courier
regarding automobiles appears to
have been taken personally by a few
of our most prosperous farmers who
ride to town In handsome touring
cars. Suffice to say that the Courier
had not this class of people In mind
when it unthoughtedly made the
statement that It did last week,
and we regret that they should
take the matter personally, as a
few of them seem to have done.
With land selling up to $lf.0
per acre, all kinds of produce
at the top notch, If the Nebraska
farmer cannot afford his automobile
we would like to know who can. The
only wonder Is that he does not take
to the areoplane and try to keep pace
with the price of farm lands and
farm products. No, the Courier had
no thought of local people when lt
made the statement it did last week.

CHILD HAS CLOSE
CALL FROM DEATH
Three-year-old Son of Mrs. May
Haney Receives SevereJBurns.
The little three-year-old son of
Mrs. May. Haney, came nearly losing
his life by being burned to death last
Saturday afternoon while playing in
the yard of his grand parents, John
Kuhney and wife, on North Seventh
street. Mr. and Mrs. Kuhney bad
been packing their household goods
preparatory to moving to another
location in the city, and had burnod
some papers and other rubbish in
the yard, and the fire was supposed
to be about out, when the little boy
procured a stick and Btlrred tho
embers which blazed up and caught
his clothing which was soon all
ablaze.
Judge Johnson happened to bo
hitching his horse near by and had .
an eye on the little fellow, and
noticed him poking at the embers,
and no sooner had the little boy's
clothing caught fire than Mr. John
son sprang over the fence and quick
ly taking hold of the little boy, ex
tinguished the blaze. In the short
time that elapsed while Mr. Johnson
was running to the child the blazo
had burned Its side, shoulder and one
side of the face..
The little boy's screams brought
the mother and grand parents to its
side, the little fellow was taken Into
the house and Mrs. R. A. Bates, who
lives near assisted In dressing the
wounds of the little sufferer. Dr.
Cook was called by telephone, but
when ho was Informed what had
been put on the burn; said that he
could do no more than had been
done, and that a visit by him would
be unnecessary. It Is very fortunate
that Judge Johnson was so near, or
the little one would no doubt have
lost its life.
In putting out the blaze, Judge
Johnson burned his hands quite
severely.

WILL HELP LOSE
ALDRICH THE ELECTION
Kansas City Journal: "Nebraska
has two candidates for governor, and
really docs not want either of them,
Dahlman because he declares he will
veto tho county-option bill If lt
come up, and Aldiich for the reason
that he Is In favor of further reduc
ing railroad rates. There are 12,000
railroad votes In the Btato, which
may go to Dahlman, tho democratic,
nominee, because the railroad em
ployes claim that If railroad rates are
reduced their wages will be corres
pondingly lowered.
"The substance of this assertion
was made last night at tho Savoy
hotel by Judge W. H. Newell, former
state senator from Plattsmouth, Neb.,
and a well known politician and stone
quarry man. Mr. Newell Is an ardent
republican, but he says he believes
