The observance of the day set

During the no'.n hour the band,
under the direction of Prof. L"d H.
Schulhof, gave a very pleasing and
well balanced musical program, their
concert embracing the high class
standard numbers as well as a few of
the popular hits, and while this ;'er.-
ture of tlte program was being given,
the families present who had come
prepared for the day enjoyed the
noonday luncheon as well as the
pleasing music.
The afternoon program was open
ed by the address of Judge Arthur
(J. Wray, candidate for governor of
Nebraska on the no;i-partis?n ticket,
at'd who has just resigned the mayor
ship of his home town of York in
order that his campaign activities
may be pursued unhampered. Mr.
Wray was introduced by Attornfy
riiarles E. Martin in a short and
I'Vasiug address and the speaker .'t
once launched upon his address wh'ch
was sharp and to the point. In his
lei.iarks Mr. Wray urged the etoser
co-operation of the laboring interests
of the cities and towns and the farm
ers of tlr state, in order that their
interests, which are identical, may
b advanced. He told of the Grand
Mand convention at which he had
been nominated for the office of gov
ernor and in a simple and concise
i: ..inner gave a few of the measures
that he represented and believed the
laboring interests of the state ana
nation stood for. ! He advocated free
".. in of the press, freedom of speech
: itd of conscience. Mr. Wray also
to.-k a stand in favor of government
ownership of railroads, a matter
in which the union men of the na
tion are today urging through the
Plumb plan league and independent
action for the straight government
ownershin. Following the address
of Mr. Wray. he was taken in the
auto of Frank Detlef. to Omaha, at
which place h delivered three
speeches during the afternoon before
having for his home in York.
A number of the picnickers who
are enthusiastic base hall fans en
joyed the time set apart for the ball
game, in witnessing the Red Sox da
feat Ralston.
The dancing program was opened
at 3 o'clock and continued until 5.
with a large crowd of young and old
alike taking part and. as usual. his
form of entertainment proved one of
the most delightful of the afternoon.
The special attraction of the
Jackraans in one big musical act,
was staged at 5 o'clock and witness
ed by a large crowd who were more
than pleased with the treat afforded
them.
The band concert that closed the
active festivities of the afternoon was
given at T:30 and followed by danc
ing that completed the big day and
the lovers of the dance were able to
enjoy themselves until a late hour
in the measures of the good jazzy
music furnished by the orchestra
that had been secured from the
union musicians of Omaha for the
occasion.
The day as a whole was one of
pleasure and the men of Plattsmouth
unions can feel well pleased over the
excellent entertainment they have
provided for their families and
friends and the only regret express
ed was that the union boys do not
oftener arrange these pleasant gatherings.

MURDOCK
LADIES SEE
THE WEST
MESDAMES A. E. LAKE AND P. V.
PICKWELL SPEND THREE
WEEKS IN TRAVEL.
FIND THE LAKES BEAUTIFUL
As Well as an Abundance of Nature's
Wonders Enthusiistic "See
America First" Boosters
From Tuesday's Dally.
Mrs. A. E. Lake and Mrs. G.
v.
Mckwell returned Fridav from
an
I extension vacation trip through the
northwest and Canada. For more
man inree weeKS tnese .uuruoiK
ladies have been "seeing America
first," and have gathered a story of
experiences and thrills that no Euro
pean trip could duplicate.
Starting from Lincoln, they stop
ped first at Deadwood. South Dakota.
Here, in the midst of the Black hills,
Mrs. Lake spent a short time visit
ing her brother, Fred Gramlich. Dur
ing their stop at Deadwood, a trip
was made to the famous Lead gold
miles and the ice cave. The latter
is so called because the floor of the
cave is always a sheet of ice due to
the peculiar and excessive withdraw
al of warmth by the soil above it.
These hills, according to the ladies,
present as many beautiful and varied
scenes as the Rocky mountains,
which they visited later.
From Deadwood their journey was
continued without stop to Glacier
National park in northwestern Mon
tana. This park, now conceded to
enclose some of the most wonderful
awe inspiring views in the world, is
in the heart of the tallest of the
Rockies.- It is. as the name implies,
a succession of snow "patches, giant,
peaks, beautiful lakes, forests and
glaciers. The two travelers took ad
vantage of every tourist convenience
and during their stay there traveled
on water nearly fifty miles, had the
thrills of a fast auto ride along mas
sive ledges and deep canyons whose
walls often dropped a sheer thous
and feet from the trail over which
they were passing, and then wound
up their stay with a horseback ride
to Iceberg lake.
The latter lake offered one of the
most wonderful and impressive
sights of the entire trip. large
glacier flowing down from the moun
tains on three sides of the lake keep
it supplied with icebergs, but on the
fourth or' open side of the lake, at
the very foot of that huge bank of
snow and ice bloomed hundreds of
-1 . . . i ... . . ., ,
mountain asters, unconscious of their
proximity to cold .aad winter.
Mrs. Pickwell and Mrs. Lake have
only praise for "the beautiful rustic
hotels and the excellent service ac
corded them while in the park. Most
marvelous of all. they say the prices
were very reasonable.
From Glacier National park the
tourists passed into Alberta, Canada.
from a region of mountains and
rock to one of vast rolling plains
and fields of wheat. The farmers of
Alberta were just beginning to cut
this wheat on the 25th of August.
The ladies say that except for the
fields that were damaged by the
wind in the spring, the Alberta crop
is excellent. In many of the fields
where the grain is thin, the Russian
thistle is very bad and causes the
farmers much trouble in harvest.
The first stop in Alberta was at
Leftbridge. the home of J. E. Perry,
formerly of Cass county. Mr. Perry
has proved Canada a very prosper
ous country indeed and at the time
the ladies were there he had begun
to harvest a crop of nearly 700 acres
of wheat. Mesdames Lake and Pick
well spent an enjoyable day and
night visiting at the city home of
the Perrys.
Calgary. Alberta, was the next
stop, and from there to Acme to visit
old friends of Mrs. Pickwell. After a
day or two at Acme, the home trip
was begun via Billings, Cheyenne,
Denver and Lincoln.
There are two persons at least
who know and appreciate America
better because they have seen some
of its wonders.
FILES ESTATE MATTER

This morning the petition of Mrs.
Ella Rosenow was filed in the county
court, asking for a hearing and de

BIGGEST "DAM" TOWN
From Tuesday's Dallv.
Saturday afternoon C. L. Deitz, the
foreman of the Burlington lumber
yard in this city was at the Burling
ton station and on inquiry as to
where he was going he stated that
he was going to "the biggest dam
town in the world." At once
thoughts of Kansas City, New York,
Chicago and othsr places of some size
floated through the mind of the re
porter and which of theie towns he
had designated was in doubt until
Mr. Deitz explained that the expres
sion "dam" was r.61 a mere technical
expression but the real truth and
that he was headed .'for Keokuk. Ia.,
which is truly sonie "dam" town as
the largest dam in the world has
been built there in the Mississippi
river. Mr. Deitz returned home this
morning. ;

SCHOOL DAYS ARE
NOW COMMENCING
Opening of Fall Term Tcday and Very
t e v ti
Large Attendance of Young People
m Grades and High School
From Tuesday's Dally.
The school bells this
morning
woke the youngsters of the commun
ity to the realization of the fact luajn here for the present at least un
that the golden vacation days were til tl)e farnily is thoroughly settled
over and that the school house was
going to be the big attraction for
them from this time until the com
ing of the next vacation.
The opening days registration and
attendance was greatly increase;! and
twelve members of the senior class
were received from the Murray
school and makes the membership of
the class of 1921 some forty-five boys
md girls and this class has one of
the best representations of young
men of any class in the school for a
number of years. The normal train
ing department of the high school
which was not so heavily enrolled
last year has shown a surprising num
ber of young men and women regis
tering. In the grades the increase was
very noticeable and in the seventh
grade it was found necessary to pre
pare an additional ro;m in the cen
tral building as there are 119 reg
istered in this grade a? against sixty
eight last year. In almost all of
the grades from the fourth up there
are overflows and the additioon of
two now teachers to the force will
become necessary to care for the
training of the youngsters.
The Columbian building in the
south part of the city is filled to its
capacity and the showing there is of
a large increase in the registration
and attendance.
The closing of the St. John's paro
chial school has added 131 addition
al pupils to the schools and with the
increases of population and the num
ber of children reaching school age
and the non-resident puplil brings
up the total for the year.
RED SOX ADD TWO
GAMES TO LIST
Easy Furniture Co., of Omaha Vic
tims Sunday and the Kalston
Team on Labor Day.
ProtT Tuesday's Dally.
The Red Sox demonstrated that
thev are some team when they de
cide to play ball and added two
anies to their credit on Sunday and
londay when they defeated the Kasy
Furniture company team oi umana
on Sunday 9 to 1 and the fast Ral-
ton team to 2 Labor day.
The Sunday game proved that the
isitors were as "easy" as their
name implied and the Sox had little
difficulty in romping around the
bases at will and tne memuers ol
the team were able to fatten up
their batting average to a great ex
tent from the slants of the Omaha
pitcher and the numerous errors that
the team pulled and which allowed
the Sox to add up the runs they did
at will.
Connors opened the game and was;
going at his top speed throughout
and kept the visitors guessing, but
as the contest was decidedly in lavor
of the locals Connors was withdrawn
to save him for the Monday game
and Rudolph Meisinger was sent to
the mound and operated with tne
greatest of success in the remaining
stages of the game and should have
won a shut out but a scratch nit
permitted the Kasy Furnitures to slip
a score over the plate and saved them
from returning to Omaha in a blank
ed condition.
Yesterdav afternoon the ball park
was well filled by a large crowd to
witness the second game of the ser
ies and in which the fast Ralston
team was the opponent of the Sox
and received their second defeat of
the season by the score of 6 to 2.
Connors was on the mound for the
Sox and in his usual excellent style
kent the visitors chopping at the
ball and had gilt edged support from
his teammates. Owing to the fact
that Eddie Gradoville, the catcher.
had been injured during the races
at the Labor day picnic, a change in
the line up of the team became neces-
sarv. 1'ete ueroiu resumed ms oiu
position behind the bat while Robert
Poisall, of Waterloo, Iowa, who is in
the city visiting, was placed at third
and Bruce Wolfe, the fast shortstop
of the Union team, was in the short
territory for the Sox and both men
played a fast game and added to tne
defeat of the enemy. Several times
the visitors had men on bases but
they were soon disposed of by Con
nors and his crew' of base ball tos
sers. A number of the visitors se
cured long drives to left territory.
but these were all grabbed by Ma
son. Christie was in his usual bat
ting form yesterday and secured sev
eral safe ones.
The excellent manner in which
the Sox have been performing in the
past few games has been very stimu
lating .to the base ball spirit in the
city and the fans are well pleased
over the closing games of the season
that the Sox are staging.

VERY BUSY DAY IN
BOATING CIRCLES
Steamer "David Lindsay" Tied Up
Here Over Sunday New Craft
Launched by Owners.
From Tuesday's Daily.
The vicinity of the Missouri river
was a busy place Sunday and Mon
day and the activities indicated a
renewed interest in river navigation.
The steamer "David Lindsay,"
owned by the Woods Bros., of Lin
coln, and which has been engaged
for the past several months in work
at Hamburg, Iowa. where several
thousand acres of land were redeem
ed from the danger of being swallow
ed up by the treacherous waters of
the Big Muddy, by the use of hollow
cement piles forced below the river
bed by a pumping process similar to
that employed in sinking bridge
cassions, was tied up here over Sun
day. The boat is of a similar type
to that tied up here for several weeks
this spring, and was enroute to the.
Iowa side of the river near Council
Bluffs, where it will aid its sister
ship in protecting the land from en
croachments of the current.
The large motor launch built by
( Bert Coleman and Fred Wynn dur
ing the past winter, was launched
in the waters of the Missouri yester
dav and is some craft, being un
doubtedly the largest and best equip
ped boat that has been placed in the
river in a number of years. The boat
has everything that could be asked
in the way of comfort and will be
a great aid to the owners during
the hunting season. The owners have
built the craft especially for the
purpose tf hunting and hope to en
jor many a successful trip in it this
fail.
Jack Iverson, the first ward coun
cilman and Louie Kroehler. were al
so at the river yesterday and ex
perienced some of the annoyances
that come to motorists who brave
the Missouri. They had gone down
theViver several miles and when it
was desired to return home, the en
gine became sulky and refused to
run and after spending several hours
trying to coax it into going, the
boat was tied up and the two pas
seneers hiked over the hills back to
the city.

DEMPSEY HAS A
MIGHTY PUNCH
And Proves It Puts Miske Away in
Third Round of Ten Round
Bout on Labor Day.
Benton Harbor. Mich., Sept. fi.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion of the world, demonst rated lo
day that he still retains the teriflie
punch that won him the title. He
knocked out Billy .Miske, of St. Paul,
a tighter as big as himself, in the
third round of their ten-round match.
Three hard smashes were sufficient
to win him between J 50,000 and
$100,000, his 50 per cent of the
gate receipts.
At the start of the fight, his first
in fourteen months. Dempsey peeled
off the same worn and patched red
sweater t hat. he wore when he knock
ed out Jess Willard. His face wore
the same fighting frown, he danced
about the ring with old time light
ness of foot and finished up by tak
ing the fight in the third round Jul
as he did at Toledo. The third round
went on one minute and thirteen
seconds.
Miske went down three times in
the less than two and one half
rounds of fighting. In the second
he measured his length on the floor
for the count of five. In the l;.tal
third, driven to his corner under a
rain of lefts and rights to the stom
ach and chin, the challenger took
the count of nine and had Just re
gained his feet, when Dempsey, cart -fully
measuring his balance, finished
the bout with a right hend punch to
the chin.
Crowd an Orderly One
The fight was watched by one of
the most orderly crowds on record at
a championship match. Women in
bright clothing very scattered thru
out the audience from 1 ho rinssiilf
to the liatk fence, where they perch
ed alongside the wicked barbed wir-
and outshone some of the signboards
in attracting attention. Delayed
special trains held back the fight,
and in the confusion of the long wait.
Miske, .first into the ring, slipped
through the crowd scarcely being
noticed.
A messenger from the champion"
camp presently arrived to inquire
whether the challenger was in the
ling. This formality of the squared
circle over, the messenger hiked
back to Denipsey's camp while Miske
waited ten minutes for the champion,
who drtw an ovation as he march
ed through the crowd. Miske's fight
ing legs bore his initials elaborate
ly embroidered in silk on the left leu.
Dempsey had the regular red, white
r.nd blue costume.
SERVICE CLASS EN
JOYS PLEASANT TIME
Christian Church Ladies Spent the
Afternoon at the Tome of Mrs.

From Wednesday's Dally.
The service class of the Christian
church enjoyed a very pleasant meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the hos
pitable home of Mrs. J. R. Stine and
the number in attendance was very
pleasing. The afternoon was spent
in discussing the business of the or
gaization and the matters pertaining
to the furthering of the plans of the
class. One of the features was the
fact that each member brought a dol
lar and with it a poem telling the
manner in which they had earned it
and this proved most entertaining
to the members. During the after
noon dainty and delicious refresh
ments were served that added to the
enjoyment of the numbers of the
party.
