"I regret the result of the South
Omaha picnic. Your paper does me an
injustice in assuming that I rented the
park to them or others for gain. I was
persuaded quite against my inclinations
to permit the use of the park for this
picnic, because I disapprove of Sunday
picnics and only consented on assurance
from the .committee supported by several
responsible citizens of Plattsmouth that
it should be a peaceable affair. Please
state this for me."

CLOSE OF THE CONCLAVE.
Bav. Frank Evan' Speech the Event
of the Day.
Yesterday closed the conlave of the
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska
Odd Fellows. At the grounds a goodly
sized platform had been erected and seats
were provided for the largo crowd of
people, and to say that all who attended
enjoyed themselves, would be putting it
mildly, to say the least First on the
programme was music by the band.
Grand Chaplain O'Neill, of Nebraska,
then led in prayer.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Past Grand Judge S.M.Chupman in a
few well chosen words and the response
was made by Dr. J. W. Humphrey.
The address of thu day was delivered
by Rev. Frank Eyans, under themangae
ment of the Odd Fellows, was one of the
ablest ever giyen in this city upon secret
societies and its advantages, and after
holding the audience fully two hours not
one could be seen leaving, still anxious
to hear how well he run through the
ritual of the order by beginning with the
yarious degrees of the lodge and dwelling
much upon the Rebecca's, the advance
ment they were making in their efforts,
and gave much encouragement to
continue as they should, remembering
that they were the promoters of moral
and christian advantages ani while this
was done a still farther teaching was
given within the walls of the lodge rooms
and from there a worthy number of the
church circle. Along with his appeals
for the fraternity and church his witty
remarks, mingled with his eloquence was
much appreciated and many times
applauded. His explanation ot those
that oppose the ; various organizations
ws well handled and from his thirty
eight years in the ministry was able to
take observations and balance their faith
and labors. Then on the other hand
their aims and teachings to which
complied to thi ft vs of God.Jand appealed
..11 f A A I.il 1 nira f 1 ioq T in rmnrl tVlA
first DrinciDLs teachins of the order, and J
that was "you cannot become an Odd
Fellow in spirit and in truth unless you
are grateful to your creator, faithful to
J- 4 .F
your country and fraternal to your fellow
man." With this in view, yet many
claiming themselyes an Odd Fellow was
only a stunbling stone to the teachings.
They disregard them, so do many of the
members of churches for this reason,
neither the order or the church should
stand condemned for the acts of one
member, but to continue to soften
his heart by kindly acts that- he may
realize the duty he owes to God.
Again to . become faithful to his
country he must be a law abid
ing citizen and to aid in its wel
fare and educate and train the youth into
assisting the American future, comparing
Prof. Edison in his great store of know-
ledce for the commercial field of the
world and that of the lad who is wasting
o -
valuable time in yellow back literature
and from that to still worse.
With his audience spellbound he again
recognized the importance of such a
gathering, that it brought forth that fra
ternal feeling in the fellow man, that
the stranger from the eastern coast of
America to the one in the northern and
western mountains in the greatest conti
nent on earth may meet and exchange
friendly greetings.
Before dismissing this vast audience
he impressed upon their minds the
importance in Fkiendshif as being the
means of uniting mighty nations into one
great mind and subduing great wars as
in olden days when mighty kings ruled
the land, Cove united the family, the
neighbor and its surroundings, while
Truth was one of God's greatest laws,
that anything but a truthful man was
only a violation to the commandments
of morals, religion and society. His
teachings should be remembered by all
that had the pleasure of hearing him.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
this gentleman.
The Rebeccas served dinner and supper
to the visitors in Merges' old store and
in the evening they served ice cream
and cake to all Odd Fellows and their
friends.
At 8 o'clock the special from Council
Bluffs pulled out of the B. & M. depot,
homeward bound and with kind words
for their treatment while guests of the
Rebeccas and Odd Fellows of
Plattsmouth.

The following U clipped from the
Weeping Water Revurnican:
"Did you ever size up some of the
young (men) tilings in our city that live
and thrive oa our streets. You can't
call them men. They have stamped on
their physiognomy everything except
something good. In the use ot profani
ty and smutty talk they are adepts. Not
a merchant in the city but keeps his eye
on them from the time they enter until
they leave his store. They probably
buy 10 cents worth of tobacco eyery
sveek aDd steal 50 cents worth of this or
that article. No farmer's wagon is safe
from their clutches, and the only good
they are to any place is once in ten
years when the census is taken. They
count then as much as a man.

Louise, returned yesterday from a four
