Eastwood store that they have been much greater than they should, as it seems several :fi5,C00 votes were cast which had evi dently been given out by mistake for .$50 or ?500 votes. The parties voting these were evidently in good faith and no attention paid to the amount, as the coupons were probably filled out at the store and voted there at once without thought being given to examine them. If any party making a purchase of $50 or an amount in that neighborhood in the past week will look up their votes it may be pos sible to correct the mistake.

The new f;ont of the building be longing to Mrs. Monroe on lower Main street is getting along in fine shape and it will be only a short time until this front is reacy for exhibiting to the public.

The front will be of the latest design, and style and is somewhat similar to the Egenberger front in the sanvs block, though, of course, a much smillcr affair, but con structed along similar lines.

This day has come io be recognized by many of the states as a good time to plant trees, shrubs, and thus not only to gratify our own tastes for that which is beautiful, but realizing we aro con tributing to the welfare of those who come after us.

Good Sized Audience 1 'resent, and the Red Sox Are the Winners by the Score of 1 to 0. With a large and enthusiastic out pouring of fans the base ball season of 1915 was sent on its career yester day afternoon at the Red Sox base ball park, and the result of the pitch ers' battle between one John Andrews of Omaha and Carl Stimpson resulted in a victory for the Red Sox over their enemies, the Omaha' Indians, by the score of 1 to 0. The game was one calculated to stir the pent-up en thusiasm of the bunch of rooters as remblcd, as it was not until the last Omaha player had' jabbed his bat violently in space, striking, out, that the result could be safely chalked down. Stimpson, the enlongated tos ser of the locals, was able to register up some seventeen strikeouts to his credit, while Andrews fooled the Sox fifteen times during the time he ap peared in the box, and the hits were few and far between, but in this de partment the Indians appeared to have a shade the best of the encount er. The Sox, however, played a mighty good game in their fielding and were in splendid form considering the time that they have been practicing. ' In the opening spasm of the two hours' engagement the pitchers cn both sides were working their old sidewheelers in fast shape and the six batters up were all retired in one, two, three order. In the second inning the first of the Omaha tribe to advance with his war club to the plate secured a pass to first, which looked decidedly dark for the prospects of the locals, and he pilfered the second bag, but he died there, as the three batters following were unable to connect with the mighty shoots of our old friend Stimpson and retired to the field. For the Sox, Herold fanned, but Mason was able to place a fast drive between second and first, which was a safety through the bone-head work of the visitors in not trying to field the ball; Rockwell, the hard hitter who last year was such a strength to the Man ley team, was retired on strikes, and when the hit of Louie Smith to short was tossed to second, forcing Mascn. the jig was up for the inning. There was nothing stirring in the line of scores in the third, although the visitors secured a safe ore to left field, but three of tha redoubtable In dians fell victims to the shoots of Stimpson. For Plattsmouth, Arries was retired at the first bag, while Stimpson fanned the air and sat down; Beal was more fortunate, how ever and was hit by Andrews and al lowed his base, but died there, as arriott retired on a short grounder to Andrews. In the fourth the locals were en abled to annex their loney tally, which looked small at first, but at the close of the game was as good as a million. t seems that Umpire Schrocder, in nterpretating rules of the game, de cided that ttye base runner cCnild ad- ance on foul balls, and this allowed the riattsmouth boys to get around ere s Somethin g Entirely a one button union suit Tor men and bovs. why bother with a whole row of buttons, both to button and keep on, when one button will do it See them in our corner window.

In this inning Craig struck out; Herold was walked and Mason retired by the strikeout route, when Rockwell hit safe through short, which resulted in Herold being rble to register the one score cf the game. In the sixth inning the vislors came dangerously near scoring, when they advanced a man to third base. The first man up was reirted, Stimpson to Craig, and the second victim struck first man up was retired. Stimpson to dians in the lower pedal machinery that caused him to take his base, and the fourth of the Indians was also al lowed to walk, which made the fans a little nervous, but Stimpson was able to retire the last batter by taking in a short fly.

It's the same in clothes; you can buy lower priced clothes than these Kuppen heimerand Society Hrand suits, but you'd better not. Low-priced clothes are like the $25 horse they may be worth the -money, but they're not worth enough.
