The Picnic.
The picnic Saturday was a big suc
cess, in spite of the threatening
weather. Louisville was well rep
resented. The band came down on No.
S3 in the morning: and played two se
lection up town at 10:30, and then
went to the grounds, where they play
ed two pieces at 11:45. Then every
body opened their well-filled backets
and ate to their heart's content of the
manv good things the ladies had pre
pared. At 1 p. m. Rev. Norman took
charge of the band boys and they
played two fine selections which were i
enjoyed by all. At 1:30 Rev. Embry
was introduced and made at fine talk.
At 1:45 Rev. Spregle was introduced
and made a nice talk in German,
which was greatly enjoyed by all. as
Rev. Spregel is an old-timer here, be
ing pastor of the German church for
a number of years. Rev. Swartz spoke
at 2 o'clock on a most interesting sub
ject. At 2:30 the little girls' race was
called, Ella Lohnes winning the race;
there were eleven entries. At 2:45
the young boys race, Marion Ossen
kop winning, there being eight entries.
At 2:50 the young men's race, there

men's race was called with six entries
as follows: Jake Meisinger, Frank
Solsburg, John Gauer, Otto Spraig,
Rev. Norman and J. R. Mayfield;
Mayfield won the race by about three
feet, with John Gauer second. The
fat ladies' race was next, there being
only four entries, Mrs. J. W. Wolff,
Mrs. Jake Tritsch, Mrs. William Dash
er and Mrs. Philip Tritsch; only two
ladies crossed the home plate, Mrs.
Philip Tritsch winning, w.th Mrs. Jake
Tritsch close bend; Mrs. Dasher lost
out about half way and Mrs. Wolff
slipped and fell soon after the start.
Everybody enjoyed the races, but for
the lack of space we cannot give all
the names.
At 3:10 the ball garni; was called.
The Nehawka boys arrived about 2
o'clock and soon got practicing. The
diamond being wet it cou'd not be got
ten in shape, so the game had to be
played on the grass, but the boys on
both sides started out in dead earnest
and the first inning was marked by no
the same as in the seventh. In the
inning Cedar Creek got 1 score. Third,
Nehwaka 1, Cedar Creek 3. Fourth
inning neither side got a score. In
the fifth Cedar Creek got 3 scores,
while Nehawka got nothing. In the
sixth Cedar Creek got 4 and Nehawka
1. In the seventh both teams got a
goose egg. In the eighth both tallied
the samea s in the seventh. In the
ninth Nehawka got 1, making the final
score, Cedar Creek 11, Nehawka 3.
Cedar Creek struck out 8 and Ne
hawka 10.
The band played a selection at 3:10.
The ball throwing contest was great
amusement, Mrs. Hattie Meisinger
winning the prize over the other
ladies, of which there were about ten
in the contest.
Mr. and Mrs. John Lohnes, sr., won
the prize for being the oldest married
couple on the grounds. Mr. John Mei
singer, sr., won the prize for being
the oldest man on the grounds. Grand

the oldest woman on the grounds.
The children's blindfold fish pond
was greatly enjoyed by the young
folks.

An Old Soldier.
Mr. Jacob Bitner, of Dayton, Ohio,
knows the dangers of the postponing
of the treatment of a disease. He
says the following: "I received Trin-
er's American Eilxir of Bitter Wine
and it is doing me very good. I
wrote you that I had a swelling on my
back and asked you to help me. I re
j ceived Triner's Liniment, which is ex
cellent and invaluable. It greatly re
lieved my pains. Every housekeep
( er should have it at hand, but people
j are postponing like I did, but that was
! a great mistake. I did not know that
j you have such a strong, so to say,
miraculous liniment. Jacob Bitner,
Soldiers' National Home, Dayton,
Ohio." Whoever needs a remedy for
I rubbing painful or swollen parts of
the body, should rely on Triner's Lini
; ment. Try it in rheumatism and
neuralgia. Price 25c and 50c, post-paid,
35c and 60c.

, and the bowels, complicated with con
' stipation and weakness, we wish to

honor of the members of the Kensing
ton club and a few invited friends. Ths
hospitable Yallery home v;l- filled
with a most delightful gathering of
ladies and the pleasures of the after

pleasantly by those present. The
guests arriving at the home s-hortiy
before 1 o'clock, were ushered into the
dining room, where a most delicious
repast was spread before thorn, ar:d
there was nothing that ccuid add to
the delights of the splendid dinner!
i
that was put on the tab'e, and the
j treat was one thoroughly appreciated '

and green, with the flowers of the late
summer and the green foliage making
a very charming setting for the dainty
dinner provided. Mrs. Yallery was as

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Mr. Gregory, our enterprising land
lord at the Saunders House, has fitted
up bath rooms, very neat and good
only 25 cents a bath; try thm.
Mrs. Julius Jepperberg returned and
took possession of her new house bay
windows and all yesterday. It was a
hard fight between Julius and the
painter, but Julius wen at last.
The old wire ferry down here is do
ing a good business, despite the hot
weather, and taken all in all, as
"P.ans" says, she is. .about as good a
ferry and as reliable as any on the
Missouri river. No trouble since the
high water.
Andy Taylor has the nicest, coolest
barn, and the biggest, reddest, black
est Lawton blackberries we ever saw.
Great high bushes, just crowded with
black, juicy berries; they are a Fight
to see. His young fruit orchard, too,
locks nice, and his prospects for
peaches are excellent. Andy has a
good home and is a No. 1, farmer;
made it all himself, too, and can now
sit down under his own blackberry
"vine" and laugh at hard times.
We could not help noticing the
beautifully improved appearance of
the road along by John Cummins'
place, where he has cut the weeds
down. A smooth carpet of grass covers
the ground it looks so grateful and
pleasant to the eye that we should
think every farmer would follow his
example. It takes so little time and
does help the looks of the country so
much, besides the weeds will take the
farms soon here if allowed to grow as
this year.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. B.
McMurtie, formerly of this place,
died at Topeka, Kansas, and was
buried in the Plattsmouth cemetery
on Tuesday last at 1 o'clock.
Louisville. A scourge has entered
the house of Mr. J. D. Ferguson in the
shape of malignant scarlet fever. Feb
ruary 10th a child was seized with
fever, soon after another. On Monday
the 17th, four boys were taken, three
of them dying within forty-eight
hours: George Edwin, aged 14; Leon
and Clark, aged 11; Elmer Leslie,
aged 8. On the 20th the three were
laid in one grave, the stricken parents
going out to bury their dead, leaving
three suffering ones at home. On the
21st, Willie, aged 17, was taken down,
making eight, leaving only the ninth,
an infant, yet unscathed. Truly the
house of our dear friend has becomea
house of mourning. The chances for
living or dying are about equal with
some of those yet alive. Yours, etc.,
Benj. F. Diffenbacher.
P. S. This (Monday) morning,
three of the remaining ones are worse.
Another case now in the neighbor

ANOTHER OMAHA
TEAM TO TRY THE
RED SOX SUNDAY
As the opponents of the Tied Sex
Sunday the Chrio Lycks of Omaha,
one of the leading teams of the me
tropolis, will be with us end should,
judging from their record during the
season, give a fine exhibition of the
art of base ball that wiil satisfy the
most exacting of the fans. The base
ball season has been very successful in
the work of the local.-:, and while they
were unable to secure any of the
greater Omaha teams on account of
their league in that city, they have
staged some very fast contests that
have given the fans as good an ex
hibition of the great national pastime
as .they could ask for, and this has
been appreciated by the greater part
of the citizens. The Chris Lycks will
have with them a number of the best
known amatuer players of the state,
and if the Sox are in their usual good
form there will be big doings in the
base ball line on this occasion.

BRIGHTEN YOUR
BUSINESS NOW WITH
ELECTRIC SIGNS
Now that the electric light question
has been settled by the contract made
by the city, as well as the concessions
made by the liht company with the
private consumer, and which will
make the expense of the lipht much
cheaper to the users of current, the
matter of electric signs for the busi
ness houses is something that can be
taken up by the merchants. The use
of these signs adds very much to the
appearance of the business suction of
the city and in most progressive towns
they are in use quite extensively, but
here the high cost of the current has
kept many from using the electricity
for illuminating their store windows
and in signs which might attract the
attention of the general public to the
stores when the shoppers might be

would heighten the appearance of the
streets and make the general aspect
