The event last night was an old fiddlers contest and for a period of several hours the strains of "Mony Musk,." "Arkansas Traveler." "Irish Washerwoman," and "Turkey in the Straw" filled the hall and delighted the ears of the music lovers who had come from miles around. The entries of the contest included James Wilson, Union, John Hardei. Weeping Water, Mrs. Rose Reteldorf, Plattsmouth, Earl Lancaster, Murray, William Obernalte, Nehawka, Henry Heil, Cedar Creek. William Balfour, Nehawka. Jarvis Lancaster, Murray, Fred Dowe. Nehawka. J. W. Burris. Weeping Water, Ed Ruby, Weeping Water, H. H. Stoll. Nehawka. Ed Graves, Peru, W. R. Sperry, Weep ing Water, Chester Waldo, Nehawka, Lon Meade, Union, Gus Hanson, Ne hawka, Wayne Lewis, Murray and McGinnis Churchill, Murray. The community club selected as the the judges for the event. W. S. Smith of Murray, L. D. Hiatt and Mrs. A. D. Caldwell of Plattsmouth and Charles L. Graves of Union. The judges used as the basis of their rating the points of position, tiim-, fingering, bowing and tone, and on the basis of their judging the fol lowing were the prize winners: First Mrs. Rose Reteldorf. Platts mouth. Second Gus Hanson, Nehawka. Third Henry Heil, Cedar Creek. Fourth William Balfour, Nehaw ka. Fifth Jarvis Lancaster, Murray. Sixth H. H. Stoll. Nehawka.

The audience was in humor with the genial ex-governor and present congressman and when the contests were started the demand was general that Mr. Morehead prove his ability on the dance floor. The congressman was not in the leaft bluffed by the occasion and goin? to the stage gave a real exhibition of the double shuffle that proved a knockout on the program and the hall rang with the applause of the de lighted audience in the fact that their representative in congress was not only the staid, and dignified repre sentative of the people but was one of them in every sense of the word and enjoyed the old time frolics as in the days of his more youthful days. After the formal program the time was spent by the party in the en joyment of the old and new dancer? for a period of several hours. COUNCILMAN HAS FALL From Thursday's Dally Councilman Carl Kunsmann of the first ward, who is also the chairman of the street, alleys and bridges com mittee of the council, will be direct ing the activities of his department with one hand in the next few waaks as the result of an accident that he sustained yesterday.. Mr. Kunsmann was standing near the curb line on the west side of the intersection at Fourth and Main streets and walked to the edge of the curb to glance up Fourth street and in so doing failed to notice that he was at the edge and suddenly stepped off into the street and into one of the small ! sewer inlets, as the result sustaining : a badly injured right,, hand as the ' small bones of the hand were broken i and required the services of a sur geon to repair the damages. The right side of the face of Mr. Kuns mann was also badly bruised and gives the genial councilman a much battered appearance.

Duxbury oc curred the marriage of Andrew Tra phagen of Lander, Wyoming, and Miss Margaret Nolan of Omaha.

VOTE FOR for State Representa- tive-6tii He is Competent and Reliable Two Suspicious Characters are Taken In Today Officer Joe Libershal Gathers in Two Strangers and .Will Hold Them for Investigation. From Friday's Dally This morning Officer Joe Libershal rounded up two very suspicious char acters that had been floating around the streets since the early morning hours and locked them up in the city ! Jail for investigation as they seemed 1 to be conducting themselves in a nian- ' ner that led to the belief that they ! might be wanted at other places for ' some crime. : The two men were first noticed j here early this morning when they i visited one of the local restaurants i and in their conversations with the ' waiter there made inquiries as to the i police protection in the city as well as other facts that aroused the sus mcion of tne waiter. LAter wnen members of the nisht force appeared on the scene the;two men hurriedly made their getawiay in the direction of the Burlington station. When the matter was reported to Mr. Libershal when he came on duty this morning he started an investiga tion and after some little time located the two men in a box car in the upper Burlington yards and tney were arous ed from their slumbers by the as sistant chief of police and requested to come with him to the city Jail. Both men denied having been mixed up with any crime and claimed that they were merely passing through the city and had no designs on the lives of property of the residents here However, Mr. Libershal decided that they needed a rest and the Jail would "be a safe place while their case was investigated further. Word was received from the office of the chief of detectives at Omaha this morning inquiring as to two men that might have come this way and it j is thought that perhaps the parties picKea up nere may be tne ones want ed. One of the men bore a very battered appearance as though he might have been engaged in a fight or accident. OMAHA MAN SHOT The vicinity of Wabash was the scene of an accidental shooting on Sunday afternoon when George Tay lor, a resident of Omaha who was hunting in that locality, was shot by one of his companions on the hunt ing trip. The shot from the discharge of the shotgun took effect just above the knee of the left leg, passing through the muscle and passing out at the opposite side, inflicting a very ragged altho not serious wound. The injured man was taken to Elmwood for medical attention and later in the evening returned to his home at Omaha. Legal blanks of all kinds for sale at the Journal office.

Troy L Davis D St. Doings of the Chamber of Com merce Outlined Secetary Davis Has Many Interesting Points to Discuss With the Citizens. Have secured four places for corn huskers this week. List your open ings with this office. No charge. Last night attended the fiddler's contest; an old fashioned dance at Murray at invitation from their Community club. There were over 300 in the hall and the receipts from their weekly affairs are to now go into a building fund for a public auditorium, so Capt. Gayer announc ed. As to the hospital for Plattsmouth. It rather sticks in my mind. Not an elaborate costly "white-elephant" but a small home affair for the pres ent, equipped up-to-date, to give our doctors an opportunity; our citizens a needed service; and save many local lives in emergency cases, and to keep maternity cases at "home." Those who have agreed to furnish cars to meet the Omaha Chamber of Commerce boosters, please don5t for get the date, Oct. 28th; time 8 a.m.; place Missouri Pacific depot and have out your welcome banners! Don't forget the corn husking con test. Luke Wiles farm 2 p. m., Nov ember 4th and the lecture and clinic for poultry and hog disease at the Chamber of Commerce at 1 p. m.. November 1st. The most encouraging thing that has happened the past few days have been the men voluntarily taking out memberships in the Chamber of Com merce. If you have not enrolled drop in and have this omportant matter taken care of right away, so you may be included in the list of members to be published within the near fu ture. Every member of the Woman's clubs should be enrolled. Why this bashfulness? From the Open Road Angry Cus tomer: Hey, I've found a tack in this donut! Walter "Why, the ambi tious little thing it must think it's a tire!" Today Is a fine time to see how much good work has been done on the Omaha road! Watch your step! If you get stuck in the mud, come in and tell us about it. The church represents the relig ious civic activities of a community It is protected, supported, and assured by the police, and fire department of the community. Every Plattsmouth church should take out a membership in the Chamber of Commerce repre senting all the combined civic ac tivities of the community. Did you ever think of this? A club whose foundation is t. "society" affair is serving only the interests of its individual members and not in any large way the inter ests of the community. Personal culture, advancement, and know ledge are necessary. The refine ments are essentials today. But the fellow who gets out and digs, and works for the good of the entire com munity, and supports the civic ac tivities of his Chamber of Commerce Is serving the city and community in a large and unselfish way. The Recording Angel surely makes a big credit for that man or woman! Had it not been for the civic pride of the citizens of Plattsmouth we would have either wooden walks or none at all today; or mud holes for streets; no lighted streets; no firs department; no police department; no splendid schools; no safe places to worship; no Masonic Home; no Burlington shops; in other words as the old lady said "no nothin. " Last time in Omaha dined in a swell looking" restaurant. Had a half of a potato mashed mostly with water; one cup of coffee, a slice of bread; a sliver of pork and a piece of pie I couldn't eat. Eighty cents, please! It's fine to get home where you get a clean good meal at a de cent price in our own restaurants! Tried to eat a dinner one time in a notel a small Okianoma town, ine flies were black. Couldn't see what I was eatng. I remonstrated with the propretor over the flies. She said, "Ain't they just the awfullest things you ever seen this time of the year" and slouched out. There "hain t no" civic pride in a place like that. W. G. DAVIS, Secretary. J5grAre you a member of the Chamber of Commerce? PROTECTING CARELESS AT EXPENSE OF CAREFUL That compulsory automobile liabil ity insurance would undoubtedly in crease accidents, is the belief of Henry Swift Ives, of Chicago. In a recent ad dress, he said: j "We do not need a plan to com pensate accidents, but a plan to pre vent accidents. Compulsory insurance compels the careful and well behaved drivers to pay for Injuries done Dy the careless or the reckless. Thous ands of cars are owned by farmers, most of whom own land and are en tirely responsible financially,, and careful drivers as well. Is it fair to charge them $30 a year or more for each car they own, to pay for the damage caused by reckless driving and traffic congestion in the cities?. The same thing applies to the small jtown or country merchant, artisan 'and professional man." Have You Seen the New Shiek Cap? Made with a Mirror in the top and a Comb for your "Mane."

Price S2.75 Fitted ijjjrescot-t OnePrfce And Mo Monkey Business Stop Signs Heed ed by Visiting Auto Drivers Local People Seem to Ignore the Safety Warts Placed at Dan gerous Intersections. From Thursday's Dally The city which recently secured several of the small "warts" to place at the dangerous intersection at Main and Seventh street and several of the streets adjacent to the schools, have been heeded by auto drivers from out of the city but do not ap parently have much effect on the local speed fiends who drive over them or past them at a high rate of speed. ' : i These stop signs for night use are placed In the intersections and are illuminated by reflectors so that they can be see for at least a half block away by approaching cars and give warning of the danger that exists at the intersections of the main streets where in the past there have Deen several accidents and numerous narrow escapes from the injury of cars and pedestrians. The police have been keeping a check on the cars passing the in tersections where the "warts" are located and find that drivers of cars from Omaha, Lincoln and other out state points have complied with the danger signal and brought their cars to a stop before they drive into the intersections but a larger part of the local Plattsmouth drivers come right ahead and do not pay and attention to the signs, probably largely through ignorance of what the "warts" are placed there for and it may require some forcible education before the stop signs are obeyed. A good story is told of one of the prominent residents of the city who reported to the night police that he had picked up some object that someone had dropped in the streets and had taken it to his place of business to await claiming by the owner. The police investigated the matter and found that it was one of the stop signs that the council has had installed and the sign war taken back and placed where it will do duty as a warning to those who drive cars.
