Flower Show
Attended by a
Fair Crowd
Display of Iris and Tulips Is Excep
tionally Fine as Well as Wild
fiower Groups Shown.
The annual spring flower show
which was held at the American Le
gion building on Saturday afternoon
and Sunday, attracted a large num
ber of the flower lovers of the com
munity to enjoy the tastefully ar
ranged showings.
The lateness of the season had held
back many of the usually bloming
Cowers at this time of the year,
peonies and early roses being missing
from the exhibits in the show.
The showing of the tulips and iris
however was very fine and many gor
geous groups of these early spring
flowers were found in profusion on
the tables of the exhibition hall.
The deep red and brilliant yellow
varieties of the tulips was one that
attracted the attention of the visitors
to the show and in the tulips espe
cially the showing was the best In
years.
There was a fine showing of spirea
as well as other shrubs and garden
flowers to add a very delightful note
to the settings. The exhibition of
the lilies of the valley was also a
much enjoyed part of the show.
The miniature rock garden that
was a part of the exhibit attracted
much attention from the visitors.
There were 68 different persons
who made entries in the Flower Show,
there being in all 248 entries. The
flowers showed up wonderfully well
and were of excellent quality, with
Just a few of the spring flowers miss
ing on account of the season. Every
one who visited the show had high
est praise for the splendid quality of
the flowers and the exhibition, a
thing that had much to do with the
setting of the flower show. Also a
most excellent display .from the
schools of original art works, and
also in the building of miniature

has been in poor health for several
months and was recently operated
on in hope of giving him relief but
without success.
The deceased was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Meisinger and was born
on the farm west of this city and
where he made his home during his
younger years. He was born July 25,
1876.
He has followed the avocation of
farming for many years until in his
declining years he moved with Mrs.
Meisinger to this city where tbey
have enjoyed several pleasant years
in the home on Rock street.

THE TALE OF A FAITHFUL DOG
Froving the value of a faithful dog
was evidenced recently when Chet
Wiles, while en route from his home
in Mynard to his father's home, three
miles distant, lost his jacket in the
roadway. During the day the faith
ful dog of Chefs was seen lying on
the jacket in the center of the road,
and as the vehicles approached he
would go to the side of the road until
the cars passed by, always returning
to lie on the jacket. Some of Chet's
friends who recognized the dog, made
futile attempts to take the jacket
and the dog and return them to the
owner, but the dog was faithful to
his charge and refused to allow any
one to touch the garment or him
self. Later in the evening, David Tay
or, seeing the dog's plight, tried in
vain to coax the dog into his car, so
that lie might take him to Chet's
home. Failing in the attempt he
then motored to the Wiles home, but
finding them gone, chanced to see
Miss Alice Wiles in the city and ex
plained the dog's predicament after
which Miss Wiles, with some friends,
visited the scene of commotion, and
calling the dog by his name "Pal,"
gained recognition from the canine,
who allowed the party to assist him
and his owner's jacket into the car
and be taken home. "Pal," having
gone without food for many hours,
while on duty, was the recipient of
a large bowl of fresh milk and a
bone, for which he felt very grateful.
LEAVING FOR WASHINGTON
Homer Lutes and Jesse Scurto are
leaving Saturday for Washington.

Judge Jessen,
Mrs. C. F. Paine
Speak in Elmwood
Fourth Meeting of Cass County His
torical Society Held Sat
urday Afternoon.
Judge Paul Jessen, president of
the Otoe County Historical society,
addressed the Cass county society at
its fourth meeting at the G.A.R. hall
in Elmwood Saturday afternoon. He
urged the preservation of pioneer his
tory and stated "Anyone who is un
mindful of the acts of his ancestors is
not likely to leave a record of which
his descendants will be proud."
He praised the pioneer spirit of in
dependence and ability to work out
the solutions to their troubles.
"When the real history is written,"
he said "it will not be the story of
soldiers and statesmen who worked
in the spotlight, but of those indi
viduals who came to the west with
faith to conquer adverse conditions
and who thought only of building
homes and raising families."
A duty of this generation, stated
the speaker, "if only from a spirit of
reverence to those who changed the
wilderness to a garden, is to pass on
to the next generation a soil as rich
and a government as democratic as
those received by this generation.
Mrs. C. F. Paine, State Historical
Society Librarian, gave an interest
ing resume of the Latta papers which
had been brought into the state li
brary. She also told of the process
through which the papers were pre
served. They were finally sent to
Chicago where they were mounted on
heavy cardboard and the set now
makes two large volumes.
The librarian also told of work
that has been accomplished recently
along the line of collecting material
of value in historical societies. Sur
veys have been made of all the news
papers in the United States.
Mrs. Paine praised the D.A.R. for
the initiation of the call for each
community to preserve their own
vital records. She also described the
record of records in the National
Archives in Washington, D. C. As a
summary to her talk, Mrs. Paine
quoted clippings and advertisements
from early Cass county papers.
Dr. G. H. Ciilmore presided at the
business meeting. A short discus.
sion of legislation for the preserva
tion of cemeteries was held.
Mrs. Guy White extended an invi
tation to the group, to the annual
Young cemetery picnic which is to be

In thee ar were Mr. and Mrs. Wr. H.

As the car was approaching a nar
row bridge at the foot of a hill an

Eastern Cass
County Swept
by Heavy Rain
Damage Considerable at Local BREX
Shops and Plant of Packing Co.
Much Corn Washed Out.
From Wednesday's Daily
Storms starting shortly after 12:30
last night, brouglit one of the
heaviest rains that has visited the
eastern section of Cass county in the
past two years and bringing in its
wake a great deal of damage to prop
erty and crops.
The rain was accompanied by a
very brilliant electric storm and
high wind and afforded one of the
old fashioned summer storms to the
residents of this community.
The rainfall in this city registered
2.20 inches and fell in a short time,
bringing with it flooding waters from
the hills down into the lower sec
tions of the city and rushing on its
way through the business section
along Sixth street and Main street.
With the sewers filled at their
entrance the waters soon swept down
Chicago, Washington and Lincoln
avenues, large amounts of debris be
ing borne on the crest of the waters
and which soon poured into the busi
ness sections. The inlets into the
new Sixth street sewers were blocked
with the floating pieces of wood and
grass and weeds that sealed up the
entrances and despite the efforts of
the volunteer workers and firemen,
it was almost impossible to keep them
in shape to carry any large amount
of water.
Automobiles parked along the
business streets also afforded a place
for the lodgment of debris and sev
eral of the cars left parked along
Sixth street were banked almost the
height of the car with limbs, grass
and other debris. One car parked
near the Wurl store accumulated a
great deal of this waste and the wa
ter was forced into the car and dam
aged the contents of several grips
that were parked in the car. All of
the way east along Main street huge
banks of sticks, grass, cans and other
refuse were piled against cars and
stood this morning as evidence of the
force of the storm.
One of the greatest sufferers from
the force of the storm was the BREX
shops where the waters rushing down
from the south swept through the
shop yards and caused damage to ma
terial there and in the shop build
ings and which will require some
time to get cleaned up. The water
also swept into some of the buildings
used by the Norfolk Packing Co. as
storage rooms for their stocks of can
ned goods and the damage here will
amount to considerable.
Writh the force of the water down
main street the old brick paving in
the subway entrance was torn up
and will require replacing with new
brick.
All of the land on the Missouri
river bottom south of the road to
the river was inundated by the water
from the subway and the city sewers
and fields planted had all of the
chops washed out or buried under
the debris. The flood waters also
swept over the recently constructed
baseball diamond but without ser
ious loss.
Both Chicago and Washington ave
nues were buried under five to six
inches of soft mud and grass, sticks,
cans and all kinds of refuse were
scattered along the length of the
highways and which will keep the
street department busy for a consid
erable time.
Reports from the nearby territory
are to the effect that fields were bad
ly washed especially in the Rock
Bluffs community. Both the Four
Mile and Eight Mile creeks were out
of their banks and the low lying land
along the creeks was under several
inches of water this morning.
