FLOWERS FOE PARKS
A. L. Tidd. who is a lover of beau
tiful flowers and maintains one of
the finest kept lawns at his home
on Elm street, has just presented
the Park Board w-ith a collection of
some 1,200 Iris, all of them named
varieties, to be added to the flowers
already growing in the various small
parks of the city. The gift of Mr
Tidd is one that is highly appreciat
ed and will be used to best advant
age at various places over the city
as the Park Board decides.
In the past few years there has
been added a great deal of flowers
and vegetation to the different small
parks along the avenues and the Win
tersteen hill park, along which the
new road leading to the Missouri
river bridge will pass. Among these
has been several hundred Spirea
bushes as well as a number of canna
lily gardens. In this time there has
also been planted the 160 Moline
elm trees along Webster boulevard,
in the vicinity of the Masonic Home
grounds.
The Iris plants donated by Mr
Tidd are being set out today and to
morrow and will make a fine add!
tion to the previous efforts of the
Park Board to achieve greater beauty
along the traveled thoroughfares of
the city.
When people traveled by train In
large numbers, the railroad com
panies paid much attention to mak
ing their station grounds a place of
beauty and thus the traveler's im
pression of a town was based on the
surroundings at the depot and the
route leading from there to the
business section.
Now, with people traveling almost
wholly in automobiles the beautiflca
tion of the highways Is equally Im
portant if the strenger's Impression
of our city is to be a favorable one.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Walling
are at Chicago where they have been
spending the past few days as the
guests of friends in that city.

Athletics Lose
Game to Woods
Cleaners 4th
By Score of 9 to 3 Omaha Visitors
Wipe Up On Locals in Loose
Played Contest
From Friday's Dally
The Plattsmouth Athletics yes
terday afternoon dropped a loose
played game to the Woods Cleaners
of Omaha, the score being very much
one sided. 9 to 3 for the visitors.
The attendance was srall despite
the fact of the holiday.
The Athletics sent William Har
vey Mason to the mound for the
game but the visitors early made it
clear that there would be a quick
change and Joe McCarthy was sent
in for relief in the middle of the
second inning- but as he was suf
fering from a very sore arm he had
difficulty in locating the plate aad
passed some eight men to first but
succeeded in holding the Cleaners to
two hits while the boys from up the
creek accumulated eight off Mason.
The Plattsmouth boys found Nepo
dal a puzzler and he was able to
whiff eight of the locals, Sedlacek,
McCarthy and Schlischke being the
only Athletics not to be struck out.
The visiting team took a com
manding lead in the first and second
inning that was sufficient to give
them the victory over the local ball
tossers when a deluge of hits allow
ed seven runs to perculate over the
home plate and placed the Athletics
in a bad hole from which they were
unable to extricate themselves be
cause of inability to hit effectively.
The Athletics scored in the third
inning when after McCarthy hit
safely to center garden, he advanced
when Herold was retiring at first
base and when Hans Newman con
nected with a double Joe was regis
tered at the plate.
The big moment for the Platters
was In the fourth when -they shook
the visitors defense and threatened
to crack the hurling of Nepodal as
well as having several errors to help
out the good work. Joe Krejci was
on at the opener and his blow to
third base was juggled and Joe was
safe for the time being but when
George Sedlacek hit to third Joe was
forced at second with George safe
on the inital sack, Frank Krejci re
tired on a short fly to center and
then with two down Murphy, visit
ing shortstop, mussed up the gorund
er of Schlischke and Sedlacek scored.
Schliscke scored on the blow of Mc
Carthy to Ehort center.
Following the first innings the
hitting of the Omaha team was very
weak and but for the walks and a
few bobbles on the infield by the
locals the score would have been
much smaller.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

John P. Sattler Has Latest Type of
Ambulance to Care for Emer
gency Cases Here
Mayor John P. Sattler and his son,
John Sattler, Jr.. who have charge of
the Sattler funeral home in this city,
have just installed as an additional
feature a much needed improvement
and which will be appreciated very
much in this city where there are
many cases of sickness and injuries
where it is necessary to have the
parties hurried on into Omaha to
the hospitals.
This improvement is a new type
Buick ambulance which will be able
to convey a patient to the hospital
in comfort and allow the physician
and nurse to accompany them and
with the type of car used allows
great speed and comfort on the tra
veling. The ambulance is convertable and
can be used as a seven passenger car
when not in use otherwise and with
the removal of seats it can be chang
ed in a few moments into the con
veyance for the ill or injured. A large
stretcher is provided that occupies
a part of the car and leaves room
on one side of the car for the driver
as well as the physician and atten
dant of the patient.
The new ambulance has long been
needed here where in emergency
cases the patients for the hospitals
have had to be taken in cars where
they have been in cramped or un
comfortable positions while with the
new conveyance there will be ample
room for the stretcher and allows
the patient to recline on the trip
and save the danger of adding to the
illness or danger to the patient.

Terrific Rains
Cause Damage
in Southeast
Parts of Otoe, Nemaha and Richard
son Counties Suffer From Six
! Inch Rain Tracks Out
From Saturday's rany
Following a heavy rain on Thurs
day night parts of Otoe and all of
Nemaha and Richardson counties
suffered a rainfall last night and
early this morning of from six to
seven inches and which has turned
the usually peaceful little Nemaha
river into a racing torrent that has
done damage of thousands of dol
lars in the territory in and adja
cent to Brock, Talmage, Cool:. Au
burn, Verdon and Falls City.
The railroad service into the
flooded territory has been badly
crippled and the main line of the
Missouri Pacific between Omaha and
Kansas City was out of commission
since late last night and the damage
will require some time to repair and
again restore traffic to normal. Ow-
j ing to the heavy storm and the soft
condition of trackage the midnight
train on the Missouri Pacific was un
able to make the trip to Kansas City
from Omaha last night.
The greatest damage seems to have
been in the valley of the Nemaha
and the reports received here have
been scattering as many of the tele
graph and telephone lines are ('own
due to storm damage and communi
cation with Falls City was very
badly crippled while some of the
smaller places were isolated from the
world by the effects of the storm.
Railroad reports from Verdon are
to the effect that water is flowing
over the railroad tracks at that
point while at Brock three feet of
water in the streets is reported, one
of the worst flood conditions of the
year.
The Burlington line from Nebras
ka City and Falls City has also been
put out of commission by the storm
due to the track damag?.
Both at Falls City and Auburn
heavy water damage is reported as
the result of the intense rainfall
that followed the gtorni of Thursday
