THE RED SOX
DO SOME GREAT
BALL PLAYING
Red Sox Win Three Straight Gaines
From the Omaha Indians and
Feel Highly Jubilated.
From Tuesday's Pailv.
As a result of the engagements
with the Omaha Indians hre Sunday
and Monday, the Red Sox of this city
were able to add three more wins to
their list of victoris that have been
copped during the present season
In the opening game on Sunday the
Sox were the winners by a score of
3 to 2 in a rather exciting contest, but
i?i the double-header yesterday after
there was no question as to the out
come, as the boys from the me
tropolis were outclassed anJ were re
tired in the first game by a score of
5 to 1, and they were lucky not to
be shut out, while in the second act
of the event the visitors were retired
4 to 1, in a contest that rather par
took of the nature of a tragedy and
brought almost the entire team of the
visitors out in turn to pitch and try
and stop the onslaught of the vie
torious Red Sox.
In the game Sunday Greko did the
throwing for the locals and was in
the best of form, retiring fourteen
of the Indians through the strikeout
route, although he allowed five of the
visitors to walk on his delivery. Lung
er was the mound artist for the In
dians and retired five of the Sox by
strinking them out, but failed to get
away with a win, owing to the time
ly hits of the local. In this contest
the Red Sox begin to do business in
the fifth spasm, when they grabbed
their three runs. The visitors came
right Lack' in the sixth and td"bk two
scores, but neither side after this was
able to register at the plate. The
batting of Herold was a feature of
the Sunday game, he securing three
hits and adding materially to the vic
tory of his 'teammates. The box
score of the game was as follows:

In the opening game Monday aft
ernoon R. Mason of Ashland was pres
ent to serve as the thrower for the
locals, and was on the job all the
time, allowing but four hits and these
were at times when the did not result
seriously in the final result of the
battle
Kieny, the all-around player
oi the Indians, was sent in to try the
tossing stunt and his efforts were

game Sunday the locals were the bat-

casion to fatten his battinir average
by takine three clean hits off of the
delivery of Kiney. The visitors scor-
ed in the fourth, which ended their

The second game yesterday after
noon was shortened to seven innings,
as it was growing late when the first
battle was over, and it was 6 o'clock
before the curtain fell on the final
victory of the Sox by the score of
to 1. Greko was sent in to do busi
ness with the visitors and was most
successful in his work. The Indians
decided to use O'Neill on the mound,
but his initial inning was very dis
astious to the hopes of the boys from
the metropolis, as the Sox annexed
two runs off of the wild ' efforts of
O'Neill and made it necessary in the
middle of the inning to jerk him out
of the box and substitute Grossman,
the first sacker, who was able to hold j
the Sox a little better, but was touch
ed up lively. In the opening round
Beal walked, while Parriott bunted
safely on an error and on Herold's
two-bagger to left Beal came home;
O'Neill then gave Mason a walk and
Greko broke things up with a little
hit to the pitched on which Parriott
was able to register. Herold was
caught at the plate, and L. Smith
struck out. Kieny, the good-natured
and hard-working player of the In
dians, who threw the first game, was
compelled to catch in the second per-
formance, and added greatly to the
life of the struggle. The Sox gather
ed two runs in the third and sixth in
nings, whilet he visitors were able to
bring in one in the fourth inning. The
official score was as follows:

Mathews, which occured at his home
in that city early Saturday morning.
Mr. Mathews had been in very poor
- 1 health for several months, and for
I the past two weeks his condition had

I spent his childhood there, removing
I to the state of Iowa in 1854, and
twenty-six years ago came to South

home. Mr. Mathews was for years
one of the most prominent auctioneers
and stock buyers in eastern Iowa, and
after removing to South Omaha was
the first auctioneer on the , South

capacity he served for a number of
years. Besides the widow, four chil-
I dren are left to mourn his loss: C. E.
I Mathews, Salida, Colorado: Mrs. J. M.

I. J. Copenharve, South Omaha, and
W. G. Mathews, Plattsmouths, all of

since the death of the father of Mr
Mathews that he was called away.

who were in attendance at -the fun
eral, will remain there for a visit of

ELECTROLIER
PROPOSITION
TAKES LIFE
New System Is All the Go in Towns
One-Half the Size of Plattsmouth,
and Why Not Get in Style?
The electrolier proposition that was
mentioned a few days ago in these
columns as being considered by the
business men of the city as one that
should be adopted to replace the pres
ent system of arc lights that are used
to illuminate the business streets of
the city, is being taken up with in
terest and the prospect for its adop
tion seems very promising.
The proposition has been figured
down to a point where it is easy to
put before the property owners and
business men on Main street to have
them assist in the movement by se
curing the funds necessary to carry
out tne Plans by purchasing the posts
m lamps tor tne electroliers. lhe
matter as it now stands is for the
erection of three lamps posts in a
block, the cost of which will be $80
each, or a total cost per block of $240,
all ready for business, completely in-
stalled and equipped. It is figured
that the three neht eloctroliers will
be as servicable as the five-light ones
and the cost be less' while with sixty-
candle poWer lamps a strong and
bright light can be secured. With
three of these in a block on each side

and tne increased outlay for current
would be more than repaid in the
splendid results secured in - street
lighting.
Petitions have been prepared that
are being circulated among the busi-
ness men. and from these it is honed
to secure enough signatures that a re-
port can be given to the city council
at its next meeting, when some solu-
tion of getting better lights can be
derived. There is no doubt that the
arc lights as used here are some ten
or twelve years behind the times, as
in other towns of the same size where
the electroliers have been put in serv-
ice they have been found to yield a
I greater light at a much lower cost
than would be possible with the old

SEVERE WIND STORM
PASSED OVER THE
CITY LAST NIGHT
From Wednesday's Dally.
Last night about midnight one of
the most severe wind storms that has
visited this section for some time
swept down on the city and for a
short time a strong wind from the
northwest raised havoc with the trees j
and small frame buildings throughout
the city, and this morning there were
a great many reports as to the dam-
age done by the storm. In every sec-I
tion of the city trees were stripped of

very serious damage is reported. On I
Main street the wind was so strong
as to blow in a window in the apart-
ments of A. Geise, breaking it, and
the firm of C. E. Wescott's Sons was
1 the sufferer in having a large section
of thei.r fine Plate Slass front broken,
but it is not known whether the wind
done this or the damage was done by
some Person falling against the glass,

was in darkness, due to the fact that
the high power electric line from the

CARNIVAL IN
PLATTSMOUTH
ALL NEXT WEEK
The Erundage Shows the Greatest of
Any Carnival Company in
the Land.
From Wednesday's Daily.
The S. W. Brundage Shows, which
will open a week's engagement in
Plattsmouth Monday, July 12, has
been pronounced one of the cleanest
amusement organizations on the road.
Last week the shows exhibited at Ne
braska City, where they enjoyed a
splendid patronage. This week the
company is furnishing the amusement
features for the big firemen's jubilee
at Auburn. Mr. Brundage boasts
that his shows have "passed the pure
show laws" and his advance rep
resentatives are positive in their
declaration that not one feature is
carried that is in any way repulsive
or offensive.
Mr. Brundage has many attractions
which ordinarily are not found tour
ing with a carnival organization. All
his attractions are new and a ma-
pority of them are touring this season
for the first time. There are two
bands and two orchestras. All the
fronts used for the various shows are
constructed of wood made over into
beautiful designs. The fronts are
studded with hundreds of electric
lights each and the Midway is made
as lieht as day. The famous "carrv-
i j . , .
us-ii, mtii was moiiuiiiiiuicu . o
cost of over $20,000, is, of course, the
big features with the "kiddies."
in nresentine Leon W. Marshall and
n;s farious "Happy Days in Dixie
Land attraction, Mr. Brundage offers
one of the mosi expensive features
ever carried with an amusement corn-
pany. Thirty-five clever performers
make UD the cast witn this one at-
traction. The company carries its own
band and orchestra and three times
during: the week will give a parade
and street concert on one of the
prominent corners. Mr. Marshall has
the repUtation of being one of the
foremost minstrel producers of the
south and never before in his history
hag he had as fine a company as he
presents this season.
The Nebraska City Press, in speak
ing of the departure of the Brundage
Shows from that city had the follow
ing: "The Brundage Shows closed a
week's engagement in this city last
evening and will go to Auburn today
where they will sxhibit this week.
The company, as has been said be
fore, is a good, clean one and de
served the patronage of all. During
their stay in this city everyone con
nected with the shows acted as gen
tlemen and ladies and leave with the
good will of all. Weather conditions
were against the Brundage people
during the greater part of the week
which prevented the country people
from coming to the city, as it rained
at some time during every twenty-
0fur hours. After the encaa-ement at
Auburn the comDanv expects to eo to
plattsmouth for a week."
