Iowa, was effective until the sixth inning when they annexed two runs. In the sixth the visitors filled the sacks and on a to Newman, by fast work the runner was caught at home and Strong ended the career of num ber two by a fine throw to first. Novak of the visitors, however, tip ped the pot when he hit to left gar en and the fly was misjudged by Mason and the remaining two run ners can:ered on home. Thf- Plattsmouth tally came In the third inning when Pres?ley scored on a hit of Connors to centerfield.

In the third frame Pressley was safe on an rorr and was advanced by Connors 5lng voice which has been neard often sacrifice and when Herb Klautschejln the choir work will be greatly hit to centerfield Pressley scored. 'missed. O'Donnell was hit bv the visitinel nitcher and Ktroner scored both men with a timelv hit. The visitors in their half of the third came back and scored four runs as they hit McCarty freely and loose fielding on the para of the lo cals permitted the blows of the visi- tors to prove costly as almost every one was productive of a run. Two more runs in tne iourtn and one In the fifth and eighth completed the J story for the visitors while the locals picked one up in the seventh to add to their string. A number of the players of the lo cal team had a very strenuous day as they had worked at the shops un til the noon hour in the extreme heat and then took on the proposition of playing a double header which was too strenuous a job.

ARGUMENTS MARK SESSION 0FC0UNC!L LETTING OF PAVING CONTRACT LAID OVER TO NEXT MON DAY NIGHT. From Tuesday's Datty. The council chamber at the city hall last evening resembled a mass meeting as the auditorium was filled with numerous representatives of ""'"'""- brick, concrete and other paving in- terests and bidders on the proposed street work that had been advertised for letting, but the council decided that they would take a week to con sult the property owners before the contracts were let and accordingly the bidders had their journey for naught save about an hour spent in a remarkably hot assembly place. A communication was received from the park board relative to the pasturing of cattle in the baseball park and on motion of Councilman Sattler the city engineer was author ized to have the park surveyed and placed on record at the court house and then all pasturing would prob ably cease without further trouble. The committee of the business men had a report showing that the names of forty-one signers had been secured who had agreed to pay the sum of $1.00 each per month to help pay the salary of Merchants Police Frank Detlef if the city would ad- I iania TnA thou amrtltnfc noAOCCOTT " ZisiWYnahe taken UP later after the commit- JAIs uhL" S,5e,,dJ3C"f!ia tee has more time to look into it and the police committee to see v . .. . jllSt hOW nut' clirn avo t n orn armi in r many signers there would be and the ,o""'1 mtic u.u . . . . . . . , - . ?u"' thtt!le "l7? be ex" iwlieu l" tt""J'- Chief of Police Jones reported that $267 in fines and $31.50 in costs had been made In the past month and a similar report was received from Po lice Judge Weber. City Clerk Duxbury had collected the sum of $753.29 he reported and Uhe same turned over to the city treasurer. City Treasurer Hartford reported that there was -on hand in th treas ury at the close of business June 30th $49,463 and registered war rants outstanding amounting to $87,- 033. Councilman Knorr of the judiciary committee reported that there was an ordinance covering the cutting of weeds by the property owners and a penalty that permitted the city cut ting tnem ana cnarging tne same against the property. In regard to the scavenger tax sales the city at torney had stated to the committee that this was a function of the coun7 ty treasurer each year but that ac tion must be commenced before July 1st so there will be no sales this year. The parks and improvements com mittee through Chairman Vronian reported that the George Woodrough property near the tourist park could be secured for $350 and which could ha wl o raA n flia narl f rt a ra rot q V of and on motion the mayor and clerk!?.06 McMaken. street work were authorized to purchase the."enry iJooiey, tame game (Walter Gouchenour, same Mr. Vroman also stated that Peter Claus Boetel. same rMc tho o.-t,0 nt email t3t Ray McMaken. same there' wa wiliiTur to Hve the citv the same if the paving tax was re mitted and on motion this was re ferred back to the park and improve ments committee to report at the next meeting. The lighting committee through Chairman McMaken asked more time on tne consideration of lights on dence district numbered and asked that the city force the remaining property owners to place on their numbers under the present ordi nance. Councilman McMaken created some amusement by his inquiries as to the numbers, as his home was omitted from the list of numbered died and the second ward alderman given a number for his house. The bond of Bruce & Group for $500 was read and approved with the Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Mary land as the securities. The judiciary committee also re ported on the resolution creating the sewer district along Eight, Ninth and Gold street, which would care for the sewer . to the Columbian it was decided to set Mondav. . nu July 23rd as the day to hear protests or objections to the proposed district. The finance committee recom mended that $407 and $445 from special Improvement districts, now paid out, be transferred to the gen eral fund as the districts no longer were indebted. Councilman Sattler requested that the city place two tiles near the residence of Joseph Novatney to al low him to get into his property from the street, as this was an extraor dinary case where the councilman thought the city might depart from its policy of the past but the motion was lost with McCarty, Sattler and Peterson voting for it and the re maining seven against it. The bids for paving were opened with the Modern Construction, of this city, Arthur A. Dobson of Lin coln and Bert Coleman of this city as the bidders. This occasioned some argument among the members as Councilman'Sattler moved to lay the bids over for a week to investigate the matter of what kind of paving was desired by the taxpayers and the cost and difference between brick and concrete. Mr. Sattler was much opposed to the concrete paving as he stated this cost $2.22 against $2.96 for brick and he thought this was worth the difference in wearing abil ity and would be to the benefit of the taxpayers. He also claimed the con crete paving was of poor wearing quality. Councilman Howe asked that If concrete was not eood and raised un f 5cL as had been "fated by the ii"'1 .ll"!.."1! second ward councilman, why it was used as a base for brick paving. Councilman Bestor thought that a week's delay would not hurt any thing and would give time to consult taxpayers. Councilman McCarty thought that the best and at the same time cheap est paving should be secured for the people and he thought this would meet with the approval of the tax payers. He had seen much concrete paving in use and it was generally satisfactory. On the motion of Councilman Sat tler the matter was laid over until Monday evening, July 16th. All vot ed for this excepting Howe and Brit tain. The mayor, on motion of Council man McCarty, appointed a special committee of Bestor, Sattler, Me- juarty, jxnorr ana iviciasen to inves tigate the proposition of a municipal (bathing beach and i the matter will vu.o iai uuur; tuusiucia- j ' . . . ..a ary of the opinion that Chief of Police Jones who uses his car for the city business a great deal should have some return for this service and the same was referred to the police com mittee for action.

RADIO CONCERT OF LAST EVENING VERY PLEASING Splendid Program of 2 Honrs Dura tion Many from Here Sent Telegrams to Artists. Trcm Tuesday's Dally. That the radio program of Df last nd and night given by the Eagles ba artists from this city was great, was the verdict of all who heard it. The hand, under direction of Ed H. Schulhof, of this city, furnished' p cnuinoi, oi mis cny, lurmsut u greater part cf the program and their offerings included numbers their offerings included numbers ranging from the popular Fox Trot, "Texarkana" to the heavier compo sitions, "Macbeth," "Atlantis," etc., including the beautiful descriptive number, "A Summer Evening in Ha waii." In addition, a piano solo by Christine Coughlin. a vocal solo by TT ,1 n a ITn nil TT tnn It -V JrxT PAl r hv a p. stovpnsnn. a sniendid five minute address by Judge Begiey and a group of two piano solos by Mrs. Roy Cole made up the balance of the program and fitted in nicely with the! band numbers. j Local radio fans were all tuned in nd many entertained friends during the concert.

H. Pollock provided free bridge fare to those car owners making the trip. This was Plattsmouth's second radio concert from Station WOAW, the former one being given May 15, and it Is quite probable the Chamber of Commerce will sponsor another one in September, as the station has declared its willingness to grant Plattsmouth a date at any time.

RIVER IS FALLING The Missouri river that has been standing at a very high mark for the past few weeks is now receding al most as rapidly as it rose and a fall of some four feet in the last few days has been noted. William Grebe, who has become very familiar with the river in his extensive fishing trips states that the river is now cutting off the banks on the Nebraska side opposite Main street and that large sections of the bank have gone into the river while reefs were formed that are quite large and some of which remain for several days while others are washed out in a few hours. So rapidly do the changes take place that it requires an expert riverman to get along them with a skiff. So far there has been no damage on the Iowa side of the river, but a sudden shift of the erratic stream may occur at any time. What Will Vacation Leave Behind?
