EVERYBODY'S STORE
COMMERCIAL
CLUB ENJOY A
FESESSIOII
Was a Very Respectable Number
of Members Present and Much
Interest Manifested.
From Friday's Daily.
The meeting of t he Commer
cial club was fairly well attended
last evening at Coates' hall and
many mailers of interest to the
city were discussed and it was a
late hour before the members
wended their way homeward,
feeling that they had spent a
most interesting evening.
The committee that has been
haying .charge of the band con
certs during the past summer
reported that two months of the
concerts had passed and that one
of the concepts on the third
month had been given, leaving
four more to be rendered. The
committee staled they had had
the matter of holding a couple of
sales days during the fall under
advisement, and thought as the
weather was gelling so cool at
nights that the concerts could
be changed so that two more
would be given on Saturday aft
ernoons, and on these occasions
farmers could bring in stuff to
be sold by the auctioneer and the
different stores in the city could
each offer some special induce
ments to the farmers on that
day and a very successful affair
made of it. President Schneider
slated he understood the plan
had been tried in Clenwood and
had been very successful Ihere,
as the band concerts added a
very pleasant feature to the oc
casion. Mr- Wescott was heartily
in favor of the proposition, but
believed that the employes of the
shops should be consulted before
any action was taken about
changing the baud concerts, as
they had been heavy contributors
to the fund.
The cutting of the concerts
This is a wet day and you will need an
Umbrella to keep off the water. We have

get it by placing on sale at a reduced price our line of $1.50

. Umbrellas, $1 up
down to two from four would
give the band boys double money,
which would probably allow them
to lay off, if necessary, on the
afternoon of the concert. Mr.
Wescott staled also that the
merchants would have to have
good bargains to offer the people
coining into the city if they had
the sales day, but he was heartily
in favor of the proposition if the
matter could be successfully ar
ranged, and the publisher of the
Journal, Mr. It. A. Hates, could
receive suttieienl assurrance of
participation among the different
merchants of assisting in the
making of the affair a success.
Mr, Baird thought the con
certs would be approved of if the
shops were to continue to work
only half a day on Saturdays, and
in the event they did I he band
boys could get away all right
He slated he hoped the concert;
could be held at an hour when
Ihe shop boys would be able to
attend, and tnai pernaps tiiey
could be let off an hour earlier
lo enjoy the conceits.
Mesrs. K. J. Richey and J. W.
Crabill were both heartily in
favor of the proposition and
promised to do all in their tower
to make it a go if the club cared
to start the ball to rolling.
On motion of E. II. Wescott Ihe
band committee was authorized
to turn over the funds collected
for the band concerts to the
committee on sales days to apply
on the cost of the Saturday aft
ernoon concerts, providing the
report of R. A. Hates was such as
to warrant them in going ahead
with the matter of holding these
events.
Mr. Wescott gave a brief state
ment of the visit of the com
mittee, in conjunction with the
committee from the county, to
Lincoln to Ihe hearing before the
state railway commission on the
matter of better train service
over the Missouri Pacific. He
staled that the raiload represent
atives before the commission had
not expected the showing made
by the county and they had pre
pared their case - purely as a
Plattsmouth one, and Ihe splen
did manner in which the other
towns of the county had respond
ed to the cause had completely
overwhelmed the allorneys for
the railroad. There was no way
to tell how the case would come
DAL Sc
these wet-weather necessities, so just call on
out, but the representations cer
tainly looked like there would be
something doing in the matter of
a motor from Auburn to Omaha
and return, which was the relief
asked for.
President Schneider called the
attention of the club lo the fact
of the need of having No. 1
stopped here, as many coming to
this city were either compelled
to wait over in Pacific Junction
or go on lo Omaha in order lo
get into this city, and it was very
annoying to the commercial
travelers, as well as the residents
here who desired to go lo Omaha
or Lincoln lo reach there early in
the morning. Tbe matter was
the subject of much discussion
among the different members,
and Mr. liaird staled that while
it was true there was no through
train from the east stopping
here, it was very hard for the
railroad company to cut down
any of the running time of this
train, which was one of the fast
est on the system, as the busi
ness from this point would not
repay the outlay to the Burling
ton in making the slop. After
much discussion the matter was
turned over to the transportation
committee to attend to.
In tho course of the meeting
the ouestion of the fate of tht
Hotel Ililey was brought up, am
the club was very much pleaset
by the statement from Mr. Falte
thai a new man was expect e
here next, week to take charge of
the hotel and run it in the fulurt
as it should be. This statement
was greeted with applause by the
members, as there has been con
siderable complaint from partie?
coming here of the lack of ac
commodation al (hat hotel in 1 1 1 f '
wav of service in the dining
room.
Superintendent Sinclair of tin
water company asked permission
to address the club on the mat
ter of the lire alarm system in
use at present in the city, am
which had proven very confus
ing lo the members of the lire
department, as well as the citi
7.ens in general. lie was in
favor of establishing a nuinbe
of stations throughout the city
with numbers, and when an
alarm was turned in the numbi
of the statjon would be signalet
by tin? whistle at the shops am
the lire department would know
just what section of (he city th
lirv was in. He favored this, as
the city was not able to instal
Ihe box system of bell alarms
and the water company desired
lo co-operate in every way with
the cilv. A number of the mem
bers opposed the matter as being
out of the question with the
present conditions.
On the good roads question
Mr. Pollock called attention It
the article published in the Jour
nal a short time ago in regard to
giving prizes lo those who cairn
into town riding on their Voa
drags, and believed that the mat
ter was one that should be laken
un bv the merchants and some
inducements offered the farm
ers for their work for the im
proved roads. The roads lead
ing into the city were in very ba
shape especiallv the Louisville
road, from Chicago avenue to
the farm of Luke Wiles, where
Mr. Wiles had dragged the roa
until it was in good shape, and
he believed the matter of fixing
Ibis road should be looked after
by the city. I tie matter was
finally referred lo the good roads
committee to look after. After
a short discussion '. of several
matters the club desired lo look
over, the members adjourned and
departed for their home.

MRS. GOBBELMAN
ENTERTAINS THE
SOCIAL WORKERS
Mrs. Frank Gobelman Entertains
the JLadies'of the Society in
Very Charming Manner.
From Friday's Dally.
Yesterday afternoon the Social
Workers of the Methodist church
were entertained at the home of
Mrs. Frank It. Gobelman in a
very charming: manner. It had
been the intention to hold the
annual elect ion .of oflicers at this
lime, but owing lo the fact that
it was the last time the society
would have the pleasure of hav
ing Mrs. W. L. Austin, wife of the
retiring pastor of the church,
with them, the affair was made a
purely social one and a number
of the members of the Ladies'
Aid society gathered with the
Social Workers lo assist in Ihe
occasion- The rooms of the
(iohelman home were handsome
ly decorated with bouquets of
asters, which added a touch of
beauty to the enjoyable event .and
combined with Ihe delightful
hospitality of Ihe hostess, made
the event one long to be remem
bered. The ladies spent the lime
with their sewing and in social
conversation, as well, and while
the meeting was a most pleasant
affair it was' tinged with sadness
due to the fact that they were
soon to lose Mrs. Austin from
their midst, and great regret
was expressed over Ihe fact and
the best wishes of both of Ihe
societies were extended lo this
worthy lady for her success and
happiness in her new home at
CJeneva. As a loken of the high
esteem in which she was held by
Ihe members of the societies
Mrs. Austin was presented with
a handsome cut glass cream dish
and solid silver ladle from Iho
Ladies' Aid ami with a fine cut
glass jelly stand from the Social
Workers, and the recipient, of the
gifts was deeply touched by Ihe
feeling of love and friendship
shown by Ihe gifls.
During the afternoon the hos
tess, assisted by Mesdames A. J.
Beeso'n, C. L. Carlson. A. P.
Barnes, c. M. Parker and Miss
Florence Cory, served some very
tempting and delicious refresh
ments that served to add much to
the pleasures of the ladies, some
forty of whom were present on
this enjoyable occasion. The
election of oflicers will be held
at the next meeting of the So
cial Workers, which will be. held
at the home of Mrs. A. J. Beeson-

at their home to assist them in

Ion home presented a very pretty
appearance with Ihe jolly crow
present, and while Ihe hat
weather kept many from attend

happy one for all. The guests
were entertained during the
eening by several pleasing
musical numbers, among them
being several vocal selections by
Mrs. llaynes, while Rev. Ilayne.
gave two readings that were re
ceived with much pleasure by tin

the happy event lo a close, and
the guests, departing for their
homes, left with the host and
hostess several handsome pieces
of silverware, as well as their

ANOTHER SKULL AND

From Saturday's Dally.
Another iind of a skull and
hones of one of Ihe ancient in
habitants of Plattsmouth was un
earthed yesterday afternoon
while some parlies were engaged
in excavating on the Humphrey
properly on North Third street, a
few blocks north of the residence
of W. I). Jones, where so many
Indian skulls were found some
two weeks ago, and from all ap
pearances the bluff along the
river must have been, a favorite
burying spot of Ihe different
tribes that roamed these hills in
early days, and they buried tho
departed members of their tribes
where I hey could keep watch over
the great broad valley of the Mis
souri, then the absolute domain
of the Indian and the wild
animals, little dreaming (hat in
a few vears ihe advance of
civilization would push out ami
establish a town on their camp
ing ground. When oilier houses
were erect t
years gone
1 along the blulls m

Indian graves found, but the out
