    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. The photograph is
most interesting lo Ihe old set
tlers of the city, as well as the
younger generation, as it shows
Ihe great changes that the years
have made in this city.

PLEASED WITH MONTANA
The Journal has just received a
Iter from W. K. 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

had a few warm days, registering

as is possible anywhere. The
