AT PRESENT TIME
From Friday's Dally.
Crop conditions in Nebraska are
favorable, according to the summary
of weather and crop conditions for
the week ending June 13, issued by
George A. Loveland, in charge of the
local weather bureau.
His report regarding crops reads:
"Wheat and oats have grown well and
good heads are forming. The bulk of
the first cutting of alfalfa has been
secured in good condition and the
crop is an excellent one. A good crop
of strawberries is being picked. Cher
ries are ripening, a fair to light crop.
Corn has grown very slowly and is
small and backward. Cultivation has
progressed rapidly and some corn has
been cultivated the second time. Pas
tures have improved. Potatoes have
grown well."
The sunshine was about normal.
Showers occurred quite generally Sat
urday night and Monday night, but
the weekly rainfall was below normal
in considerable areas in the eastern
counties. The moisture is, however,
sufficient for crop needs generally, he
says.

K. AND L. OF S. CLOSE
CAMPAIGN BY HAVING
A VERY JOYOUS TIME
From Friday's Dally.
The members of Platte council No.
372, Knights and Ladies of Security,
enjoyed one of the most pleasant
meetings in their history last evening
at the lodge rooms in the Woodman
building, celebrating the close of the
campaign which has been conducted
in this city for new members by the
deputy of the order, A. L. Patton.
The attendance was quite large and
the interest in the meeting very great
as the session was opened by the offi
cers. There were eight new ' candi
dates received and initiated into the
mysteries of the order, and when this
feature had been disposed of the mem
bers proceeded to enjoy a most de-
ightful program which had been pre
pared by the committee in charge. A
very charming piano number was
given by Miss Kathryn Waddick,
which proved very enjoyable, and this
talented lady received much approba
tion for her splendid work. B. A. Mc
Elwain, always a favorite with the
music-loving public of the city, gave
one of his delightful bass solos which
was received with marked approval,
and was followed by a reading by
Mrs. O. Sandin, one of the most tal
ented elocutionists in the city, with a
very pleasing reading. The number
by the Plattsmouth male quartet,
Messrs. Herman Hough, H. G. Mc
Clusky, R. W. Knorr and Bert Knorr,
giving "The Rosary," was one of the
hits of the evening and received with
delight by the audience. Miss Agnes
Knoflicek in her violin solo won the
hearts of her hearers by her playing
and made a deep impression by the
beauty of her selection. The solo of
Mr. Bert Knorr was also most pleas
ing in every way and received a
hearty encore.
The Knights and Ladies now have
a lodge numbering close to 270 mem
bers and have closed a most success
ful campaign in every way, which is
due to the work of Mr. Patton and
the live wires of the order in this
city.

BOOMING FOR
BETTER ROADS
IN NEBRASKA
Mr. P. A. Wells of Omaha Delivered
a Very" Instructive Address On
National Highways and Good
Roads In General.
From Friday's Daily.
Last evening the members of the
Commercial club and a number of the
citizens of the community were treat
ed to a very interesting address on
the George Washington highway, de
livered by the president of the asso
ciation, Mr. P. A. Wells, of Omaha
who motored down from the metrop
olis to spend a short time with the
Plattsmouth people. Mr. Wells, who
is very enthusiastic over the coming
success of this great transcontinental
roadway, made his feeling of coming
success felt by his hearers, who, after
listening to the remarks of the speak
er, were convinced that tne coming
national highway is that stretching
from Savannah, Ga., to Seattle,
Wash., uniting the north and the
south in a great highway that will
be of the greatest possible value to
the country, both for the pleasure of
tourists, the commercial value to the
residents of the sections through
which it passes, as well as a military
highway in time of war that will
make the handling of troops from one
section to another much easier. The
speaker told of the first steps taken
to form the highway association and
how it had met with great success
m all tne states and communities
through which it passed and where
the people were giving the closest
attention to the work of advancing
the work on the highway. Mr. Wells
gave a number of figures showing the
value of a paved roadway over that
of a common dirt road, and pointed
out the possibilities of securing fed
eral aid for the road as soon as the
provisions of the Shackleford bill be
came operative and the state of Ne
braska formed suitable laws to place
the roads of the state under the care
of a highway commission, such as
the other states of the union have.
Mr. Wells, who is representative of
the good roads association and the
commercial clubs of the state, is in
charge of the legislation along the
good roads line that will be intro
duced before the next legislature, and
among these will be a bill providing
or the state highway commissioner
as well as the employment of convict
abor on the state aid roads to make
them rank with the other states of
the union and put Nebraska where it
hould be in regard to this matter of
roads, something in which the state
is decidedly lacking at present. He
also explained the desire of the Wash
ington Highway association to have
the road marked along the whole
ength by the official markers so that
travel would be made easier, and for
this purpose the different communi
ties through its individual citizens
will be asked to contribute a small
sum for membership in this associa-
ion, and this will be devoted to the
work of marking the road from start
to finish. At the meeting last even
ing a number of citizens of the com
munity signified their intention of
becoming members of the highway
association by signing up their mem
bership.
LASTERING OF THE NEW
LIBRARY NOW UNDER WAY
The work on plastering the interior
of the new library building is now
under way and the work is being
ooked after by Harry Johnson, the
old reliable, who has the contract for
this part of the work. This part of
the work will clear the way for the
completion of the carpenter work on
the interior and soon the building will

only a short time until the structure
donated to the citizens of Plattsmouth

VERY CLOSE
GAME OF BASE
BALL SUNDAY
Red Sox Down the Luxus of Omaha
By a Score of G to 5, In Presence
of a Large Audience.
In a game filled with many thrills
and much argument the Red Sox
humiliated the Luxus aggregation of
Omaha to the score of 6 to 5, but it
required twelve innings before the
poke of Beal to left field scored the
long-needed run for the locals. The
game was one in which the visitors
had a large lead up to the ninth in-
ning, when the Sox warriors tied up
the game and made it necessary for
the three extra innings to be played
before the contest was settled. The
hard-hitting bunch of Johnnie Denni -
son were the first to register their
scores when in the third inning they
tallied two runs. The fielding of
Parriott at third, as well as that of
Mason, Beal, Roberts and Craig, were
features of the game, although sev-1
the locals that aided materially in the
scores of the representatives of the
famous brew. Connors, on the mound
lor the Sox, lasted through the twelve
lis best in the last stages of the con-
fiict. Woosley did the pitching stunt
for the visitors, but in the eleventh
inning was pulled after his awful
punishment in the ninth and ten in
nings, and Meledy was sent in to save
the day, but in vain, as the Sox war
clubs made his efforts look poorly.
Up to the third the game was
scoreless, but in this inning the Luxus I
got busy and annexed their first I
scores. . icusenburg opened tne inning
for the visitors, but was retired on a
grounder to Parriott, who nailed the
runner at first. Woosley lollowed
with a strong drive to center, which I
eal failed to hanale, and was fol- J
lowed bv Smith with a poke to the
right garden that Roberts could not
get under in time, and Captain
Johnnie Dennison brought both in
with a strong poke to center, but he
was later caught off third base on a
throw from Herold to Parriott. Me
ledy ended the agony by striking out.
In the sixth the visitors again were
able to check up one score. Smith,
leading off, bunted safely to Connors.
Dennison followed with a hot one
through the infield at second, on
which Smith came home, but Johnnie
was caught later at third on a steal.
Hazen and Minikus closed the inning
with fly-outs to Fahnestock and Beal.
The seventh was also a heart-breaking
time for the Sox and the cause
appeared lost for certain as the slug-
srers of the Luxus added to their
lead. Wachtler opened for the visit-
ors in this inniner. with a safe one
retired on a rounder to first. Craig

the bag. Rusenburg tore large holes
in the atmosphere when he lined a
two-bagger to center and scored on
the drive of Wooslev through short-
stop. This ended the scoring for the
visitors and added several large frag- love, culminating in the wedding cere
ments of gloom to the locals, who, mony yesterday. The marriage is

Omaha lads were trying to pull off

as Wooslev faced the batter without

started the grand blow-up.
The ninth inninc was one that
brought the crowd to its feet in the
wilrWi pvpit'pmpnt as the locals slow-
lv overcame the lead of the visitors
and tied the contest. James Parker
opened for the Sox with a two-bagger
off the delivery of Mr. Woosley, who
was cettinc decidedly all in. 'and was
followed by Mason with a three-
bagger that scored Parker and started
the panic among the visitors. Smith,
batting for Roberts, secured a safety

out a long and loud wail over the
decision of Umpire Pittman, and
when the storm and strife had sub
sided Fahnestock rapped one to the
right garden that brought both Smith
and Craig home and tied up the game
This was as far as the locals could
go, however, and tne contest was
dragged through the tenth and
eleventh innings without any scores
until the twelfth.
In the twelfth Parker opened with
a pop-up fly to Hazen at short stop,
Mason hit to center safe. Smith hit
to third and was safe on the error of
Atkins. Craig followed with another

J second station. Beal ended the agony
with a nice clean poke to the left gar-
den on which "Smithy" came home
1 with the winning score, and we all
J went home rejoicing in the victory
over the city champions of Omaha.

THE OLSON PHOTO
GRAPH COMPANY
NEW QUARTERS
While Company Occupies All Three
Floors, the First Floor Is Now
Most Beautifully Arranged
for Business Offices.
The Olson Photograph company has
moved into its new quarters, on the
first floor of the Tidd building, at the
corner of Third and Main streets, and
now occupies the entire three floors
of the building with their splendid
plant, which is one of the largest of
its kind in the United States and
whose products are found in almost
every state of the union as well as
far-off Alaska and the Philippine
islands. The new office room is cer
tainly one that is ideal for the use
of the business end of the establish
ment, and here the advertising and
mailing departments will be placed
as they will have plenty of room for
their work and be able to handle it
with dispatch. The mailing list of
the Olson company has some 70.0(10
names on its rolls and these are
placed in every state and territory of
the United States, reaching into the
hands of thousands upon thousands,
as one of the greatest advertisements
that this city can possibly receive.
This company has branch offices in
Chicago and Des Moines, where the
odak developing business is secured
and the orders sent into this city,
where the work is done and the orders
sent back filled in the most satisfac
tory manner. Mr. Olson makes it a
point to see that the products of his
company is Kept up to the highest
possible standard and that the fin
ished films and prints turned out re
flect the greatest credit upon the
company. ine promptness ot han
dling orders is another of the points
that the Olson company prides itself
. 1 t V
on, and every order received is nan-
died with dispatch and speed, so that
the mail order business of the com
pany has grown in great strides from
a few years ago, until now, when the
reecipts from this line of the business
has shown a marked increase in the
business of the postoflice, and the
hundreds of thousands of pieces of
advertising matter sent out during
the years has found ready response
from the amateur photographers of
the country who can have their films
developed and printed much cheaper
than they could do the work them
selves, and saving the loss of time
and annoyance as well as securing
the best results.
The growth of the Olson company
is a source of pride to the city, as
only a few years ago the company
seemed to be on the verge of failure,
but the courage and hard work of Mr.
Olson and the confidence of these
with whom he became associated in
the management was such as to over
come the handicaps, and today they
are on the highway of success, em
ploying a number of employes and
handling an always increasing
amount of work. From an indebt
edness numbering thousands of dol
lars the company has emerged free
from the load, and with the brightest
of prospects for continued success in
the field they are filling so well. It
has been carried on without, display
or boosting, and is gjue to the hard
work of the founder and his business
associates, as well as the proper un
derstanding of the use of advertising
to attract the public to what they
have to offer.
