From Tuesday's Dally
The Athletic baseball team of this
city in their games Sunday and Mon
day dropped two games which were
largely due to the loose playing and
large number of errors that featured
the contests and especially in the
Sunday game when the fast Alvo
team took the locals into camp by
the score of 2S to 5. The hard hit
ting Alvo team broke up the contest
in the second inning when Thomas,
local hurler, was forced from the
mound and succeeded by Wooster
and Burkle who were unable to check
the onslaught of the visitors with
the errors adding to the list of scores
that Alvo piled up.
In the game yesterday with the
Nebraska City Reseryes, the attend
ance was much better and the game
showed improvement with the visi
tors having the big encLof a 14 to 3
score. The game was started with
Mason in the box for the Iocal3 and i
the game stood three to one until the
third inning when four hits, two for
three bases, broke up the battle, and
a commanding lead was piled up.
In the eighth inning Bob Burkle took
the hilltop but was unable to check
the visitors and the last Trame was
hurled by Swanson who held the visi
tors to one tally. Joe Krejci featured
the game for Plattsmouth with a
home run in the fifth inning but with
no one on the bases at the time.

necessary paving this year. It is
hoped this program will receive the
hearty support of every citizen bent
ou actually saving money. These
"mud slides" into our main business

reflect on the progressive spirit of
our community and are a source of
constant expense, disposal of the
dirt washed down amounting to more
than the cost of the paving in a few
years time. And th4 taxpayers have
to pay this expense.

BEES CREATE EXCITEMENT

During the noon hour a large num

been ou the wing some time as the
bees seemed listless and when reach

ed to swarm in the street intersection

maintenance is not so much money
thrown away. Let us hope this road
will be graded even higher in tho
low spots, so that this old eye-sore
may be a thing of the past. The
Louisville road is one of the most
important roads in this country and
deserves special attention to be kept
up and passable
and turned into a home so that the
attractive grounds could be made to
match the beauty of the Thierolf
grounds. This property is ideally
located who would be interested?
Taxes spent year in and year out
and for some few moments the paving j m maintaining dirt roads without

bees started to swarm in one of the

number of interested onlookers se

to have the queen bee locate and
bring the swarm with her. This is
the first time that a swarm of the
bees has occurred in the business sec
tion of the city and attracted a great
deal of attention and the bees seem
ed annoyed and restless by reason of
passing cars and the persons who
were moving to and from their
swarming place. Otto rilz finally;
came to the rescue and had the bees

From Wednesday's Dally
The Missouri river which a few
weeks ago staged a small sized flood
along the stream in the Dakotas and
Nebraska and Iowa, seems to be again
to reach a high water stage as the
melting snows in the mountains near
the headwaters near Great Falls,
Montana, have caused a great deal
of water to start moving in the usual
ly placid little mountain stream and
which means that tht volume will
pass through this territory on the
way to the Gulf of Mexico.
This is the usual Juno raise caused
by the mountain snows but it seems
to be much larger in volume than
usual. The river at this point is still
at a good height and while the over
flow of the previous high water has
largely subsided and the river is back
in its banks, more flood water will
probably bring the stream up to even
greater heights than in the high wa
ter of three weeks ago.
At Great Falls the volume of water
was the greatest since 190S and in
the vicinity of Lewiston the railroad
was badly hampered by the high
water.
