A GRAND SUCCESS.
The Annual Reunion of Old Settlers
Largely Attended.
When Saturday inorninp; dawned
upon us indications were that the
atmosphere would be disaiTeeabIj-
cold, but ere loiiff the sun bean to
shine brirhtly, and his welcome
rays soon chantred conditions and
assured the old settlers a day well
fitted for their annual reunion.
Lorif before noon lare delega
tions from every section of the
county bean to assemble at the
beautiful little village of Union, to
participate in the exercises of the
day. It was estimated that at least
2,000 people were assembled and
., participated in the festivities of the
occasion.
At one o'clock the proani for
itheday wasbeun. The address of
welcome was piven by Rev. X. M.
Allen, of Union, who in his charac
teristic and happy manner assured
all that they were indeed welcome
The principal address of the day
was delivered hy Hon S. M. Chap
man, of this city. The Judpe bejan
by reviewing the history of the
early settlement of Cass county,
dwelling principally upon the man
ners and customs of settlers of
thirty years ago, not forgetting to
note the great changes that had tak
en place and paid a tribute to our
splendid county and people. The
ability of Judge Chapman as an
orator is well known to our people,
hence we deem it unnecessary to ex
tol the merits of the address, but
suffice to say that in response to in
quiry we were informed that the
address was perfectly in accord
with the occasion and 111II3
sustained the Judge's reputation as
a popular orator. He was followed
by Hon. T. S. Allen, of Lincoln,
whose address was quite lengthy
and contained nianj jthings of inter
est to old settlers. His theme was
the political situation of early times
as compared with the present. Uoth
speakers were generously applaud
ed. Then Gov. L. G. Todd and Prof
St. Cry and others gave short, appro
priate talks.
A game of ball was played between
the Union and Wabash teams.which
elicited considerable interest from
the admirers of that popular game
resulting in victory for the home
team. Then there was a shooting
match, participated in by crack shots
of Plattsmouth, Weeping Water and
Union.
The occasion was enlivened by
splendid music by the Nebraska
City and Union bands. There was
nothing to mar the pleasure of the
L'y except a small shower of rain in
tne afternoon. The day closed with
a grand ball in the grove and a band
concert.

Get Ready for the Fair.
Kvery citizen in Cass county
should feel an interest in our
county tair and should leave no
stone unturned that will contribute
to its success. Liberal premiums
are offered, as will be seen by the
premium list, yet the probability of
securing a premium should not be
the only incentive to action, but
each one should have a desire to
make the exhibit a success, inas
much as incalculable benefits ac
crue therefrom, aside from the pre
miumsbenefits to each individual
in that achievements of our neigh
bor are seen, and we learn of him as
to his manner of procedure; then,
too, a benefit to .all in general, inas
much as a good fair greatly adver
tises a county, brings before tlie
public the superior advantages of
our soil and the agricultural po si
bilities, if rightly managed.
Secretary Miller informs us, from
the information gleaned through
out the county, that a deep interest
is being manifested and that indi
cations points to the best fair ever
held in Cass county.

Cheap Binding Twine
Our farmers have been annoyed,
greatly, in the past, in the matter of
obtaining binding twine, owing to
the strenuous efforts of the ''Twine
Trust" to control the market. There
have been instances when a suffici
ent amount of twine was not obtain
able; then besides, if it were to be
secured, the trust, invariably, forced
the buyer to pay extortionate prices
for the commodity.
It may appear yet, however, that

The abundance of rainfall has
moistened the ground to the ex- j

will be lost turning the soil pre-j
paratory to putting in a large acre
age of wheat, or at least we believe
that wheat should be grown where-
ever the soil is adapted to it, for I
that staple is certain to be in de
mand next year as never before,
owing to the shortage in foreign
countries. And then in accordance
with the reciprocity treaties as pro
vided under the direction of the Mc
Kinley bill, by which we receive
goods from them we can not pro
duce, they will receive ours more
freely than ever before. A great
thing for the American farmer is
reciprocity when it insures him
cheap sugar, tea. coffee, etc., and a
good foreign market for his surplus
farm product.

eruntled Actor Got Kvrn wltb
the Great Hamlet
Edwin Booth, despite his reputation
for being cold and unapproachable, has
a humorous side and can tell a funny
story, even when it's on himself, with a
solemnity that is refreshing.
A member of the tragedian's company
relates tne rouowing: "lie once told me
about a western experience of his in the
fifties. Booth was then the star of
certain stock company playing the Cali
fornia towns, it wa3 rough out there
then, and the same company did every
thing from 'Hamlet' to a song and danc"
all at the same t heater and often with
in the same week.
"In this eompany there was a young
man of much histrionic talent, who, pre
vious to the advent of Booth, played the
leading roles, but who was thrown iri'o
the shade by the new etar. Jealousy and
hot words followed. The manager ar. J
the disappointed tragedian were contin
ually at war over the distribution of
parts.
"When the time for producing 'Ham
let' arrived it was found that the cast
would necessarily muster into act every
one from the ticket 6eller to the lamp
man. The loner suffering manairr had
resolved to punish the recalcitrant actor,
and he waa given the part of Guilden
etern. "There was some muttering, but all
went weu enougn until the openin
night. The house was filled. The
scenery was crude, and for that matter
bo was the audience, but the applause
was generous. Things reached a climax
in the second ecene of the third act,
where Rosencranz and Guildenstern are
sent by the king to spy on the alleged
madness of Ilamlet.
"The usual futile endeavors to get any
information out of the melancholy Dane
were gone through with and then, of
course, came Booth's powerful scene in
which the musical instrument is intro
duced (the pipe on this occasion being a
clumsy tin affair, painted to suit the
aesthetic soul of the property man).
"The audience listened in breathless
expectation, and the dialogue proceeded
as follows:
"Hamlet Will you play upon this
pipe?
"Guildenstern My lord, I cannot.
"H. I pray you.
"G. Believe me, I cannot.
"And here the proud Dane lifted him
Belf erect, preparatory to hurling at
Guildenstern that crescendo of mingled
rage and scorn which begins with ' 'Tis
as easy aa lying, etc' But the crescendo
never came.
"Hamlet I do beseech yoa
"Guildenstern Then I don't mind if I
do.
"And seizing the obstreperous horn, he
broke forth into a weird, unearthly strain
of i. ankee Doodle and what-not.
" I stood there dazed,' said Booth,
'for it seemed to me hours, trying to con
nect the lines or collect my thoughts so
as to go on, but it wa3 of no use, for the
fiend with the horn kept right on with
his refined torture, until at last, in sheer
mercy, the curtain went down to rise no
more that night.
