THE CARNIVAL
WILL BE HERE
ALL NEXT WEEK
Biq Allman Shows, the Greatest
in the Land, Will Furnish
Amusement.
The days are growing short
now until the big Allman shows
will be here to offer to the citi
zens of Plattsmouth a great.
glittering street fair and carnival
that will be one of the best ever
seen in the city, if the reports
from other localities where they
have shown can be believed.
The company is this week
sluiwinar at Council Bluffs, where
thev are meetinpr with prreat suc
cess, and the residents of that city
nronounce the company one of
the best seen there in years, be
ing clean and tip-to-date in every
way, and the attractions offered
are as tine as can be found in the
amusement world today. This
coinnanv bavins: .iust recently
started out on its tour, is in the
best of shape and its properties)
are such as to make a magnifici-
ent appearace, as they are set up
on the carnival grounds, which
will probably be on the old brick
i - , 1, i , ,
yard on Washington aenue,
secured bv the
committee for the purpose of a
carnival ground. The company
ibteenl
cars of attractions and properties
and this great tented city will
of the city a rare opportunity ,of
having with them a first class,
modern carnival company.
The carnival company
Is
phHnlH l arriv hnrn or, novf
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, and
will at once start to setting up
their different shows on the
grounds in order to be realy for
business on Monday evening. The
fine twenty-piece military band
which the Allman company car
ries with it is one of the best of
any company on the road and it
will be worth the admission to
the carnival to hear this attrac-
tion alone. There has been quite
a good deal of anticipation felt in
our neighboring towns over the
carnival and the prospects are
good that there will be a very
large sized crowd here to at-
fend it.

Robbing of a Bunk Car
Causes
Great Excitement From
Greek Laborers.
From Tuesday's Pally.
Tli ere was a great deal of ex
citement created this morning at
the camp of the Greek railroad
laborers near Oreapolis when the
startling discovery was made that
some miscreant had entered one
of the bunk cars and abstracted
therefrom a pair of trousers and
four shirts belonging to some of
the men. As soon as the dis
covery was made the scene re
sembled greatly that of the Bal
kan war, with the remarks of the
owners of the trousers an shirts
couched in the choicest of Greek,
and the whole gang proceeded to
go on the hunt for the person who
committed the dastardly deed
armed with all kinds of weapons
and vowing vengence on the party
or parties guilty of the outrage
The parties discovered two
pecimens of the "Wearv Willies

two hoboes were innocent of tak-

borhood by the Greeks. It is
thought that a party seen lurking
around in the locality of the bunk
cars for the past few days is the
guilty one, and efforts will be
made to locale him and he be
made to face the punishment, of I
the law for his crime. The parties

The Modern Woodmen of the.

week toward Hastings, where the
slate convention of the order will
open its session there today for
the purpose of selecting the dele
gates to the national head camp
at Toledo, Ohio, in June. Cass
county will be one of the storm
centers of the meeting, as there
are two sets of delegates elected
from this county, on a Talbot and
the other an anti-Talbot delega
tion, and it is over the question
of seating these delegates that
there will be much turmoil, and
on this question will come the
test between the regulars and the
insurgents. The county conven
tion here in April was one of the
most bitter and exciting held by
the order and the delegates from
Cass camp of this city withdrew
from the meeting and selected II
