listed by the end ladies. Mrs. G.
K. l)e Oil, .Mrs. I narlC3 UOVev, -Mrs.
Hilt Martin and Mrs. Will Ileinrich.
These ladies produced some very
clever jokes and as usual prominent
residents of the city were made the
target of the good humored thrusts
of the ladies. The singing numbers 'land formerly owned by the defend

In the second part the younger
Indies occupied the stage with a
series of specialties and musical num
bers that were very entertaining and
in the several of the specialties, the
costumes were beautiful and charm
ing to the eye. On the whole, the
necond part was one of the cleverest
in the entertainment line that-' has
ben ??en in the city in a long time.
Miss Mabel Lee Copenhaver waa
the soloist in the number. "Old Fash
ioned Girls" and the six ladies ai-
ciot.-no- giMuiro. in the h a rm i n p-
gowns of grendma's day and proved,
a decided feature.
The "Farmerettes" were one of
the numbers that drew great ap
plause and the bevy of ten attractive
girls with Miss Helen Wescott as
the soloist, prored a real hit.
The quartet composed of Mrs. Will
Hcinrich, Mrs. Jack Sedgwick. Mrs.
O. Sandin and Mrs. Collins were also;
exceptionally clover with their songs j
and kept everyone in the best of
humor. i
In the scene, "The Living Foun-j
tain." a number of the young girls
were seen with greatest advantage;
and the so'.o part of the act was
given by Miss Harriett Peacock and
this was pdded to by the vari-colored
lights playing cn the young women.
Mrs. Oscar Sand in showed her
cleverness and ability in a colored
stump speech and which was of a
nature that kept everyone laughing
from the start until the close of the
act.
Another of the pleasin? costume
acts was that of the "Yama Yama
Girls" and their leader. Miss Dor
othy Cowles and which received a
generous hand from the large audi
ence. Perhaps one of the most attractive
scenes v as that of the "Beauty
Chorus" in which the ladies partici
pating arpeired in very handsome
gowns and with appropriate settings
and with Miss Helen Wescott, one of
the most pleasing of the young vocal
ists of the city carrying the solo part
vt the act.
The final number on the program
was the tango and cake walk by. the
"colored" lr.dies of the cast and in
this they showed their cleverness and
abilitv ? entertainers.

PAID VISIT BY
BURGLARS
! SECURE BETWEEN $400 AND
$500 IN MERCHANDISE AT
I. J. FULLER STORE.
From Thursday's Dally.
Some time last night the village
of Elmwood had a visit from burg
lars that proved a very costly one for
the I. J. Fuller store in that place
which is mourning the loss of be
tween $400 and $500 in merchan
dise which was taken and made
away with by the robbers.
The discovery of the robbery was
made thi3 morning when the store
waa opened for the day's business
and the sadly depleted stock revealed
to the startled eyes of the store force
as they entered. Entrance to the
store was made, it is stated, by the
prying open of the front door of the
ptore and
the nierht callers must
j have worked very fast in making
their selections from the stock and
getting away with it
The owners of the store stated this
morning that the exact amount of
goods taken could not be determined
until a careful check had been made
but that it would come to over $400
at the least. Jewelry, wearing ap
parel, hosiery, shoes and practically
a selection or all articles earned in
t k had been taken ., the e
eral supposition.
The Castle garage was also en
tered and there the robbers secured
a small sum in change that had been
left in the building over night and
which it is thought would amount to
something like $12.
That the robbery occurred some
time after 11 o'clock is the theory of

portunity for her endeavors in a
school of one.

W. H. Heil of Louisville and both
of these young people represent some
of the pioneer stock of the county
and with the splendid examples be

they are sure to meet with success
in their future endeavors. The groom

GETTING READY
FOR FOURTH OF

Committee to Raise Funds for the
Big Old Fashioned Gathering
Meeting Ready Response
The committee of the merchants of
the city who are co-operating with
the heads of many other organiza
tions in arranging for the big com
munity picnic on July 4th, were out
yesterday to solicit funds from among
the various business houses and met
with a very generous response that
will insure a treat for the residents
of the city and the surrounding
country side who desire to spend the
day in a real old fashioned picnic
and get together meeting.
The picnic will be entirely a com
munity affair and all organizations
of business men, churches, lodges
and shop-men and women will be
asked to join in the arranging of
the festivities and to come and. have
one big time at the picnic grounds
on the C. L. Wiles farm west of the
city on the glorious Fourth of July.
Net alone are the residents of the
city asked to take part but the resi
dents of the county who desire to
enjoy one of the good old fashioned
gatherings are invited to come in
and spend the day at the picnic.
The business men are going to
provide watermelon. Ice cream and
lemonade for the crowd at the pic
nic graunds according to the present
plans of the promoters.
Those who have made no plans for
the observance of the day would do
well to prepare to spend the natal
day of the nation here in Platts
mouth. LONGS FOR GOOD WEATEER
One of the parties who has been
devotedly longing for a few days of
good weather and sun shine is Jesse
Elliott, the street commissioner, who
has a large program of work mapped
out for himself and the street de
partment but which has been all
jazzed up by the rains of the past
three weeks. The rains have done
more or less washing in the dirt
roads and with the other work that
has been necessary will keep the
street workers bus yas bees when
the weather settles so that they can
get busy.

The man who is continually in debt is in

NEEDS SOME ATTENTION
Prom Friday's Dally.
That the intersection of Seventh
and Pearl streets with Chicago ave
nue should have some regulation as
to traffic seems to be quite a general
demand by those who reside in that
locality and who are familiar with
the situation.
An intersection marker such as is
used on Main street is urged to be
placed there to keep cars and trucks
on the right side of the street and
to prevent accidents that are threat
ened every day in that locality. The
cars coming down Seventh street
have little chance to avoid a collis
ion when cars coming up or down
Pearl street are coming at a good
rate of speed as it is really impossible
to see from the north portion of
Seventh street ntil clear into the in
tersection. If a car is on the wrong side of
the street as the residents of that
section claim they are quite often,
it is hard to avoid an accident. If
the marker will do any good in rem
edying a bad situation it Bhould be
placed at this street intersection.
