"DARE DEVIL DARNELL"
MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT
The onlv drawback that has befell
the committee in charire of the fall
festival and "Home Coming" has been
a message from Grand island an
nouncing that "Daredevil Darnell"
who was to have climbed the sides of
the court house here during the Home
Coming- has sustained a severe fall in
that city on Thursday and it was ne-
itessarv to remove him to the hospital
where he will remain for the next
! three weeks. This has been a most un
pleasant blow to the plans of the com
mit tee but they have the assurances
from the booking agents in Omaha
that an equally strong act will bo
substituted for the festival and one
that will entertain and please the
crowds during the time of the ''Home
t.oming. I lus, or course, is or.e oi

THE OeONOAO!
IMLOOi-
ANY' NOW HERE
And It is All Here, and It is all That
Has Been Said for It, and
More, Too.
"Is the Brundage shows in yet?"
was a question heard on every hand
yesterday, and the answer is, yes, they
are here, and the setting up of the
tented city that will house the main
attractions of the "Home Coming"
and Fall Festival is now in progress,
and tonight, each and every attraction
will be open for the inspection of the
public promptly at 7:30, following the
concert by the Mcintosh military con
cert band.
The Brundage hovs arrived on a
special train over the Burlington at
9:20 last evening, and at once a large
crowd was assembled to witness the
first steps of unloading the shows and
equipment from the cars, that were
placed in the Burlington yards just
south of the freight depot. The corn
puny was delayed in reaching here,
due to the long run from Perry, la.,
where they exhibited last week and
were transferred from the Milwaukee
to the Burlington road at Council
Bluffs, la. However, they are here,
and the week of delight in store for
the people of Plattsmouth is one that
has never heretofore been seen in this
city and vicinity, and while the fall
festival does not commence properly
until Thursday, still the music and
carnival spirit now in the air makes
one believe that it is on in full blast.
The Brundage company is one of
the largest in the o.untry r.ow en
route, and along with this feature
they bear the reputation of having
the- clove; est shows on the l oad, and
their motto, "We comply with the
pure show laws," is lived i:p to the
letter, and any lady or child may at
tend any offering without seeing ;r
hearing any o?;e objectionable thiirr.
An orderly midway is another feature,
as thj company neither allows the sale
or u-e of confetti, rubber return bolls,
wife beaters, whisps. canes or other
"bjeetk-nahle devices, 'thereby eliminat
ing tho cau.e of rowdyism that is
frcfj'r.cr.tiy rein with other sh'tws. A
special fen-jre of the concerts is the
singing of Elllie Keam. the sweet
toned baritone singer, late of the
Dockstader minstrels. The shows are
located just to the left of the base
ball park an 1 will be open each after
noon and evening for the entire week
and those who are looking for clean
amusement, we would suggest a visit
to the Brundage carnival.
The high class band belonging tu
the Brundage company favored The
Journal office with a very pleasing
concert this morning and the selec
tions offered demonstrated that this is
i high class organization of mu
sicians. SORPRI
