WILL INSTRUCT IN PEN
MANSHIP AT THE OTOE
COUNTY INSTITUTE
Miss Marie Kaufmann, in
structor in penmanship in the
IMatlsniout li city schools, whose
work has attracted the attention
of evervone at the Teachers' In
stitute in this cily, goes to .Ne
braska City the first of the week
lo ad as penmanship instructor
at Ihe county institute to be held
there by Superintendent Spcedic
of Otoe county. This does not
give her a great deal of res!, as
sin' has had a very strenuous
week, but the demand was so in
sistent that she assist in Hie Otoe
county institute that she finally
consented to take up the work.
There are few schools (hat are
so fortunate as to have so able an
instructor as Miss Kaufmann, and
her work here in the IMaltsinouth
schools has been something won
derful and has resulted in de
veloping this line of the school
work nearly 100 per cent and has
produced some splendid results in
Ihe work of all the grades where
formerly Ihe pupils were very in
efficient in this line of work. She
is a beautiful penman herself
and her own work cannot he
equalled, and in laboring with the
pupils she has succeeded in de
veloping them into good lirst
class artists with the pen. and in
this line she is undoubtedly one
of the best in this section of the
slate. The Otoe county superin
tendent, and teachers will tind
they have secured a splendid feat
ure for their institute in Miss
Kaufmann, and her instruction
will result in great advantage to
the schools and teachers of that
count v.

THE EAGLE'S
PICNIC HAS LARGE
ATTENDANCE
Everyone Present Enjoyed the
Pleasant Event, Nothing Oc
curing to Mar the Occasion.
'The picnic given vcslerday at
Koukal grove, two miles north-
wesl of this city, by IMatLsmouth
Aerie X. :n;r, 1. O. E., was one of
the most delightful events of its
kind that has ever been given here
and the attendance was quite
large, numbering several hundred
people. The location was an ideal
one, as there was an abundance of
shade and the large crowd spent
the flying hours most en.joyably in
resting iu the cool shade on the
grass and visiting, and fur those
inclined that way the dance plat
form proved a pleasing: attrac
tion and all afternoon and even
ing the jolly crowd enjoyed them
selves in dancing lo their heart's
content. The music was furnish
ed by Ihe Plattsmouth orchestra
and its pleasing strains proved a
drawing card for everyone, as the
older members of the picnic party
sat around listening to the strains
of the music.
There were ample provision
made for the large number in at
tendance and many came with
lunches and proceeded to enjoy
dinner and supper on the grounds
and remained until the cool of the
eening before wending their way
homeward. The affair was one
that reflected great credit upon the
committee, as everyone was there
for a good time and proceeded to
have it. and there was nothing to
detract from the enjoyment of
the day. For those who did not
bring their lunches and desired
to remain for the supper hour
there were booths where all man
ner of good 'things to eat could
be purchased, and this aided
greatly in making the affair a
success, as most of the crowd re
mained on the ground until evening.-leaving
with regret Ihe scene
of pleasure. There were many
aulos running: to and from the
grounds all day ami load after
load of picnickers were hauled out
lo the scene of Ihe jolly gathering.
The drive is one that is very pleas
ant and the road was lined all day
with vehicles going- out to join
i.i the pleasures of the picnic.
Taken as a whole the picnic was
certainly a treat and everyone
present felt Ilia! the committee
and bdge members were right on
Ihe job in looking after the com
fort of Ibeir gijests ami friends.
A LARGE CITY STORE PAT
TERNS AFTER ONE OF
OUR PLATTSMOUTH STORES
It has been the general under
standing I hat the small towns and
small stores lake I heir lessons on
styles and business methods from
those of the larger cities, but this
is not always Ihe case, as has de
veloped in this cily. 'The firm of
C. K. WescoU's Sons for the past
year have been using the motto,
"Everybody's Store" in their advertising-,
and Ibis evidently look
ed good (o one of the leading
stores of Omaha, which now car
ries that, same mollo in their ad
vertisements. It is one that, at
tracts ami it is not surprising
thai Ihe Omaha concern saw the
apiuess of il and decided lo add
it lo their own advantage. We do
not have- to lake a back seat for
anyone when i comes lo being up
to date iu JMallsnioulh, and if the
Omaha stores desire to pattern
after Plat I sinou! h methods they
surely will make no mistake in
any way.

Post master D. C. Morgan de
parted yesterday Tor St. Paul,
Minnesota, where he will attend
the convention of Hie first and
second-class postmasters that is
being held this week in Ihe Min

ment of the convent ion Mr. Mor

er of his vacation al the lakes
there enjoying a rest from his

yesterday afternoon in their fine
large touring car from Lincoln,
where they have been for several
days attending the Epworth
League assembly in that city.
'They report a splendid time and
an excellent program, which was
much enjoyed by the large num
ber in attendance. Olen Perry

AHOTHER ARREST FOR
SOME ILLEGAL FISHING
ON THE PLATTE RIVER
Superintendent W. J. 0Mi ien
and his men arrested four young
men from South Omaha for illegal
fishing iu the Platte river Thurs
day. They were located at the
mouth of Ihe Buffalo creek on Ihe
north side of the river and had a
trammel net stretched across the
mouth of Ihe creek when the
ollieers came along and gathered
them iu.
'The boys had in their posses
sion a few spoon-bill cattish, carp
and buffalo, had csl aid isln-d a
camp and were enjoying- an out
ing. The fish they had in their
possession were for their own us
and not for market, yet the N
braska fish and game law makt
the manner in which they wen
caught illegal ami Ihe young men
must atone to the offended law.
While Hie Courier commends
Superintendent O'Hrieu and his
men for doing their duly seeini
that the law is enforced, it is con
vinced I hat a law (hat will pre
vent a farmer, laborer or any
other citizen from taking lish
from a stream like (he Platte rivei
for their own personal use, in any
manner I hey see fit is unju:
Doubtless the intention of the law
was to prevent market lishmg
which should be prohibited, but
citizens should be permitted t
calcli lisli for then- own (aides in
any manner -they desire, so long
as (hey do not deslrov small fish
unfit for use. Until the law is s
amended as o permit, the peoph
to reap some benefit from tin
things which nature and a kim
providence intended them t
enjoy, they must not censure tin
game warden it lie enforces tin
law. Louisville Courier.

some manner and started out,
running west on Main street until
they reached fourth street, where
they headed south Inward the Air
Dome, and on the crossing ran
over the little girl, who was
crossing the street al the time.
The horses struck the child down
and ran over her, and at lirst,
when the parents reached her
side, it was thought that she was
dead, and the injured little one
was conveyed to the ollice of Dr.
K. D. Cummins for treatment. An
examination of tin? child failed lo
show any broken bones, hut there
were several large bruises on the
body, caused by the hoofs of the
animals, and it is thought she may

Sunday morning, when, to the de
light of the parents and relatives,
she was able to recognize Ihem.
At last reports she was resting

without serious injury from the
accident.
There is always great danger in
b-aving teams unhitched on Ihe
streets and the accident Salurda
evening should be an object les
son to those who have been in tin?
habit of doing Ibis, and in the
future anyone having to leave
their learns on the streets would
do well to see that they are se
curely tied up, as there is always
danger of something frightening
horses and causing a dangerous
runaway.
