FUI1 GALORE AT TED 1 11 cc PDnui Tho Sunday School Picnic a Big Success, With Attendance of Nearly 300. From Wednesday' iJally. Then? was fun k a lore jesti'i day at 111' liiif f-'i:ote of Ted W'ilos west uf this city urt tin- occasion of (he annum jiicnic of the Methodist Sunday school and everyone who .attended voted it one of the nioel enjoyable as well as one of the Iwftt handled events of its kind that, has been friven by (he church. Promptly at i o'clock the transportation committee, under the chartre of C. E. Uabbett, was on baud at the church with sev eral hayracks and .carryalls, which were loaded with I he younp people and the load . ot good things to eat and taken to the picnic grounds, where the fes tivities of the day commenced. Base ball games and matches of pitching horseshoes amused the boys and men of the party, while Ihe little folks had the time of their lives with the many swings that had been erected by II. II. Cotton and his force of assist ants, and the ladies spent Ihe time most eujoyably in an old fashioned visit. The chief feature of Ihe day was Ihe big picnic dinner, and I here was enough on hand to eat to provision an army, and despite the fact that some 250 hungry persons were fed at the dinner there was much left. The tables were arranged in a square and the serving (able placed in the center, where Mrs. K. 0. Hill, Hie chairman of the refreshment committee, and her assistants held forth and served out the de licious dinner to Ihe jolly crowd. Wooden plales and tin cups had been provided for every guest, and as I hey gathered at the table Ihe sparkling ice cold lemonade was passed around, and if all re ports are true it was "some lemonade," and Ihe committee who prepared it ore deserving of a medal, and there was enough on hand to last the entire day. At the close of Ihe afternoon Ihe crowd wended their way home ward, tired, but mighly well pleased wilh Ihe good thin1 they had enjoyed. REGARD THE ROAD RULE MORE STRICTLY UNO AVOID ACCIDENTS In dealing with Ihe question of handling the luiloiuobilu travel in the city, as well as that ot other vehicles, there is one rule that should be strictly enforced by the olllcers of Ihe law, and that is compelling vehicles lo keep on the righl side of the street. Then? is every day teams or automobiles going up and down Ihe street ami I raveling on the wrong side, which makes it hard for (hose who follow the rule of Hit! load lo keep lo the right side of Ihe street in travel iug. Automobiles or learns driv ing down Main si reel should fol low Ihe south side of Ihe street, while those going up the street should keep on Ihe north side By keeping Ibis rule there would he less danger of collision, and everyone would know just what way they should travel. As it is, teams proceed up either side of Ihe street ami automobiles are forced lo get. out on the wrong side, and there is no telling when an accident may occur that might result, in a vehicle getting dam aged and someone badly injured This rule is as important as Ihe speed regulation ana uom snouia Do enforced to me icncr oi me law in justice to me auiomomie drivers, as well as (he general public who use Ihe public high- way.

BURLINGTON CONTEM PLATING CHANGES IN T From Tucdav-8 Dallv. The following from the W'orld llerald of this morning will be of great interest lo our citizens, as it relates lo the lessening of the number of trains going through this city each day over the Bur lington. It is not known just what passenger trains through here will lie changed, if any: Many of the Burlington trains, both freight and passenger, crossing the Missouri river at lMattsuiouth and coming north to Omaha on the Nebraska side, will be brought direct lo Council Bluffs from the east and across the river at Omaha over the Union Pacific bridge in the future. The new contract was entered in to by the roads last week. It will probably lake effect August 15 or Sepl ember 1. The w est bound I rains crossing Ihe bridge at lMattsuiouth, and bound for Lincoln will use that road. The number of trains cross ing Ihe bridge there and coming lo Omaha will be greatly lessen ed. The change will be more noticeable in Hie freight traffic, as all of the freight trains ore now brought to Omaha by the I'laltsinouth route. The new contract, which was made several months after Ihe former one expired, calls for thirty passenger trains and eigh teen freight trains of the Burling ton road to cross the Union Pa cillc bridge hero every day. As only twelve passenger and no freight trains now use that route, there will be Ihirly-six more Bur lington trains across the Union Pacific bridge daily. The increase in trallie may hurry Ihe building of a new bridge at this point. PHOTOGRAPH OF THE PLATTE VALLEY HOUSE A PIONEER HOTEL Fioni TuecOay'i Dally Yesterday afternoon (i. M. Pat- ton was a caller at I his office, bringing wilh him a photograph of the idd Platte Valley House, which for years occupied the site of the building now occupied by William Holly, William Henrich sen and Ihe Journal office. For many years this was one of tho leading hotels in this part of the I ale and many of Ihe dis- tinguisticu men ot trie early days were guests of this place. Tho hotel building was lorn down in 1882 to make room for Ihe Wa terman opera house, which stood on Ihe silo for some ten years, being destroyed by fire in 1802, and a few years later Ihe present building was coi ipleted by Mr. Waterman.

Shephenlson, who formerly resided in the vi cinity of Murray, but who is now residing in Grass Hange, Mon tana, and the letter is a very in teresting one in describing the climate and conditions in that section of the country. The letter in part is as follows: 'I have just bought a re linquishment on 320 acres of gently sloping bottom land and I have built a small house on it. Have got a well 24 feet deep with live feet of cold water in it. There is a tine forest within half a mile of my farm and the fuel and posts and logs for the barn and outbuildings will be free for the hauling. The small grain crop here is looking fine and the wheat harvest has just begun. I feel sorry for you Nebraskans during the spell of severe heat you have been having, as we have had a few warm days, registering 90 in Ihe sun, but any time you would find a shade you would be surprised at the coolness of the atmosphere. We have slept un der a quilt each night all summer long. There are lots of Iowa and Nebraska people ' homesleading here, and there is not a train that does not bring eastern peo pie here,, who come lo look up a possible location. This is an ideal wheat, garden, fruit and vegeta ble country, with plenty of rain, no cyclones, good fishing and hunting in fact, a place where work comes as near being play as is possible anywhere. The range for cattle and sheep here is rapidly diminishing on account. of Ihe steady increase of the homesteaders.' NEBRASKA'S BLUE SKY LAW SO MUCH TALKED ABOUT From Tuesday's Dally. Section 13.
