WHY NOT ERECT THE
CITY FIRE BELL IN A
CONVENIENT PLACE?
We have often heard I he in
quiry made, "Why does not the
city have the fire bell placed
where it can be used in case of
fire?" The citizens here for
many years have been used to
hearing the bell ring out the
warning when the lire alarm was
turned in, and its clanging cry
has. brought out more than any
thing else the citizens to assist
in the extinguishing ofv the
flames. The idea of having the
whistle at the shops blow in case
of fire is a good one and should
he- kept up, but with the bell it
was much easier to tell where the
lire was located and the numbers
for the wards could be heard more
distinctly than the whistle, as is
often the cage with the whistle
the sounds do not reach clearily
and the firemen are sometimes at
a loss to discover the location of
a fire, but with the fire bell in
use it is possible to give -the ward
numbers several times so that the
citizens can clearly understand in
what ward the fire is located. The
niatter of having the bell placed
on the top of the city hall was
discussed some lime ago and
many thought very, favorably of
the proposition if it would not in
volve loo great an expenditure to
the city. The council should take
the matter up and see what can
be done about it, and if possible
try and arrange to have the bell
placed in position for use in case
of fire.

The Helpers of the Christian
church were entertained in a very
pleasing manner yesterday after
noon at the home of, Mrs. "S. K.
McElwain, and the afternoon was
most delightfully spent by the
large number in attendance. The
rooms of the McElwain home were
very tastefully decorated with cut
flowers, making a very charming
scene. , The guests were served
with delicious fruit punch on
entering by Miss Myra Stenner,
and the afternoon was spent by
the ladies in plying the busy
needle on their fancy work, aiid
some very fine specimens of "tat
ting" were shown as the result of
the ladies' industry, and the oc

LET THE FESTItfflL QOESTIDH
SETTLED E15IIT SI ONCE
There has as yet . been nothing
done in regard to "holding a fal
festival, in this cily tins year, as
has' been suggested several times
in the past lew months, and the
time for definite action is getting
short. . It' , no Commercial club
does not care to take up the
proposition and put on some kin
or. an entertainment, then some
of the fraternal orders should be
"given the privilege if they' so de
sire of providing a celebration. It
seems that the 'best," and what
could be secured . 1he easiest
would be a. first-class ' carniva
company, and an opportunity has
been offered several times to s
cure the Parker people here, but
the matter in regard torlhe at
titude of the city was in such
shape that any organization
hesitated to take the matter, up,
but if an agreement could" be
reached permitting a carnival
company to show in proper shape
here the question of amusements
.for a festival could be solved. In
selecting a company, however.
one. should be picked that would
have a number of good first-class
free acts for the public, as tlii
is a-feature that adds greatly to
the drawing power of a celebra
tion of this kind. Let. the matter
be settled at, once either for or
against a festival.
THE VARIETY STORE A VERY
BUSY PLACE THE PAST WEEK
The Variety store of B. fold
ing has been a very busy place the
past few-days, as the proprietor
is preparing for the installing of
an up-to-date millinery depart
ment in the store, where the latest
styles of ladies' hats can be pro
cured, and in order to make way
for the new department there has
been several changes made in the
arrangement of the interior of
the store to accommodate' ttie
large stock cf goods carried. The
new department will be placed
under the management of Miss
(olda Dunkleberger and will be
run with a view of giving the
ladies the latest creations in the
line of hats. The store through
out has been fixed over to take
care of the stocks of fall and win
ter goods that will arrive shortly,
and a person will be surprised at
the appearance of the store, as it
is completely filled with articles in
every line that a person could
possibly ask.

FORMER PIONEER
CITIZEN IS
HERE FROM CALIFORNIA
Last evening D. F. Young of
Glendale, California, a former
resident of this city some twenty-
three years ago, came in to look
over the old town and visit with
his former friends. Mr. Young
was associated here in .the elec
tric street railway with the late
O. II. Ballon in the early 90's, and
on his trip this time he noted
many changes in the cily. Mr.
Young, when he was a resident
here, lived in what was known as
Mercerville, and was greatly sur
prised at the. changes made in
that locality, as most of the lots
there had been turned back into
farming tracts. He has been at
Decatur, Neb., visiting his mother
and goes from here to St. Joseph
and thence south through Texas,
Oklahoma and New Mexico' before
returning home. "
WAS A SPLENDID SUCCESS
The ice cream social given last
evening by the Ladies' Auxiliary
of St. Luke's church on the lawn
at the F. G. Fricke home, was a
splendid. success in every respect
and those attending report a
most delightful time. The lawn
was decorated in a tasty manndr
with Japanese lanterns and made
a very pretty setting for the oc
casion. .The ice cream, which was
donated for the use of the ladies
by Mr.- Schiappacasse, was most
delicious,, and the-cakes furnish
ed by the ladies was most tempt
ing, and everyone attending felt
that the event was one of the most
delightful they had ever ex
perienced! 1YIr. RV Tritsch, Refracting

THE PLAnSIViOUTH y
no
REGULAR SESSION
They Set Monday, September 8, as
the Date of Opening the
v City Schools.
The Plaltsmouth -board of
education held its regular' meet
ing Monday evening at the. Plaits
mouth Slate, bank and looked-after
a large ' amount, of routine
business and discussed, plans for
a number of. necessary repairs on
the various' buildings. .The board
lias set Monday, September 8', as
the. day for. the opening of Iho
schools of the city, which will be
cheerful news for the scholars
The school board also decided
on a levy of JO mills, the same as
last year," to defray the expenses
of the school for the, ensuing
year, and although the board de
sireti to make a number ot im
provements in the schools, it. was
decided to let the levy remain as
before. The Plallsnioulh schools
are ranked among the best in the
state, but there are a number of
features needed to place them on
a more modern, looting and to
keep up with the other cities with
their' high schools, and among
these is the installing of depart
ments of domestic science and
manuel training. ' Both of these
departments are becoming more
and more needed in the public
schools throughout the country,
as they add to the value of the
education learned from books,
that, of practical experience, and
fits the young man or woman to
cope with the battle of life by
having a practical knowledge of a
trade or the science' of runninp
the home, which will prove of un
told value to them.
It is a very laudable ambition
on the part of the school board to
make these departments a feature
of our High school in the future,
and in their efforts to raise the
standard of the schools they
should have the support of every
taxpayer and citizen, as there is
nothing in a community more
valuable than that of a good,
modern public school system, and
its value is becoming more evi
dent each year.
Another feature' that I the
schools in this city lack. is. that
of a department of music, and
this conld be installed without a
great deal of expense, as it would
only be necessary to' secure an
instructor, as the school is pro
vided with a piano. With the in
stalling of. the normal training
and domestic 'science the expense
would be much greater, as it will
require considerable equipment
for them, but let us speed the day
that places them in our public
chools.
VERY PLEASANT PICNIC

AN INTERESTING RELIC
ON DISPLAY AT J. C.
YORK'S BARBER SHOP
Thoro is quite? an interfstins?
relic on exhibition at the harl'ier
hop of J. Q. York in tjie Red Men
building in the shape of a lnrjre
bovyie knife, which has been
cured as a keepsake.
The knife,
is a larsre and vinous weapon and
.vas evidently used, here.fn an
early day and is quite elaborate
in design. The hilt is made in
the form 'of an eagle's head and
on the blade appears the initials
"F. A.," together with cjwVn;
which gives the impression that
it at omi time belonged to some
newcomer from a foreign coun
try. The knife, together with the
scabbard, was unearthed on the
place of Mr. Kalasek in the north
west part of the city some thirty
three years ago, and Mr. York
feels quite proud of his new pos

TEMPORARY QUARTERS
, ERECTEO AT THE POOR
FARM FOR THE INMATES
From Tuesday's Dally,
This afternoon Superintendent
Tarns of the county farm removed
the last of the: inmates who have
been staying in the city since the
(Ire that destroyed the building on
the farm. The superintendent and
the county commissioners have
fixed up temporary quarters at
the farm for the old people and
th'e will be taken there, where it
is more quicr. and'where they can
receive more attention and care.
The commissioners are still un
decided as to just what steps to
take in regard to the matter of re
building the structure, as the
money available on (he insurance
is npt sufficient to put up a
structure as good as the old one
and it will be necessary to make
the new one more modern and
upi-to-date, which ; will require
quite a . sum of money. If the
matter could be adjusted without
the need of an election it would
save the citizens some $800,
which would go a' long way to
ward helping to get the structure
put up in proper shape.
