ARBOR DAY.
It
i. Hiiinijly Celelr:iie-I ly All the
Schools of the City.
The legislature two years ago
made the LTJnd of April a legal holi-
day and named it Arbor Day, that it
might be utilized by all Nebraskaus
as a day to be especially devoted to
tree planting.
Our public schools have for some
years taken notice of the day and
added very materially to the beauty
of the school grounds in the city by
the planting of trees; but this year
the exercises were more elaborate.
At the high school the pupils at
Mrs. Halsey's, Miss Wilson's and
Miss Searles' rooms were taken to
the high school room where Pro
fessor Halsey's and Mrs. McClel
land's classes tinited with them in
rendering a very pleasant program.
The first number was a song enti
tled "Welcome to Arbor Day," by
the entire school; then prayer was
offered by Rev. A. B. Huckner. . An
interesting essay was then read on
"Necessity for Tree Planting," by
Myrtle Levinr" liich was followed
by an exceed pretty vocal duet
by Flora and jni.a Bibby. The de
bate came next, on the subject:
"Resolved, That Klin Trees are
Preferable to Oak and Maple for
Planting in the School Yard." Rob
ert Ballou championed the affirma
tive, while Kmory Huckner look
care of the negative side ui the pro
position; several of the scholars ex
pressed their views on the subject,
which made it of much interest.
Prof. Halsey favored the schools
with a violin solo. The sophomore
class of the high school enacted
some charades on the subject of
trees, and the entire school sang a
sonir entitled "the tree e are
Planting This Spring Day." The
school then adjourned to the cam
pus, where each room planted its
own tree except the high school;
there each of the four grades were
allowed to plant a tree. -
Mrs. Halsey's room marched out
to the grounds headed by the girls
carrying the banner with I. G. S,
(Plattsmouth Grasnnar School) em
blazoned on its silken folds.
the bovs followed, all wearing
wreaths. The class colors, laven
der. were liberally displayed. The
scholars gathered around the tire
Kim tree that had been provided
tor planting ami after singing ap
proprate songs the girls dug the pit
and all the scholars in the class by
turns look a hand in filling it up,
The wreaths were deposited at the
base of the tree and the class was
dismissed for the day, it being then
about 10 o'clock. The program in
each of the other room in central
building and at the ward schools
was much the same so that a detail
of the proceedings of the other
schools would be largely rep
etition of what we have given above.
Many visitor were present and
derived much pleasure from wii-
nessing the proceedings which were
novel and entertaining in an emi
nent degree.
To-day being a legal holiday the
banks and most of the public offices
have been closed.
An M. P. pile driver was shipped
in this morning and will be used
down at Theodore Buck's to build
an overhead crossing for him.
Mrs. K. S. Greusel and daughter
Carrie, and Miss Rose McCaulley.
will see and hear the National Ma
rine Band to-day at the metropolis.
Frank Otto of the iirm of Halt A;
Otto is the happy father of a nine
pound boy that arrived at his dom
icile last night. K very thing is
probably free at the meat market
to-day.
For practical economy we refer I
you to a clothing firm in this city
where three agreeable gentlemen
wait upon customers and use but
one hat between them. Two of the
clerks sleep in the store so that
when the manager is out he knows
the lo s are in. The clerks only
get out on the street when the man
ager is in and gives up the partner
ship hat. It is a great scheme.
A Nice Entertainment
The regular meeting of the Young
Woman's Foreign Missionery Soci

Margaret Davis Friday evening,
April 21. at 4; 1.1 p. in.. Tea served

FIR EM ENS' DAY.
May rj to bs CelebrteJ by the Fire Boys
in This City.
The Fire Department met in the
council chamber last
gilt with
President Skinner in the chair and
Socrclary C. A. Miller at the desk.
A good large crowd was present
and much interest was manifested
in making the forth-coining anni
versary of the completion of the
water works a success.
It was May 5, ISS7. that the city
held its first celebration in honor
ofllir new water plant that had
been completed a few days before.
It was a great day for Plattsmouth,
and from that dale can be chroni
cled a new era in the progressi ve
history of this busy city.
It was the first great work in the
line of public improvements lobe
completed, and no one regrets to
day that our plant (which is the
best in the state outside of Omalia)
was finished and the aqua pura
turned into the ten miles of maines
that honeycomb the city in all di
rections. The lire companies at their meet
ing last night after a full discus
sion of the matter agreed upon the
following program:
Firemeiis' parade headed by the
B. & M. band at 1 p. in. and march
to grounds (Fitzgerald's Forty hav
ing been selected). After that there
will be a base ball game of five in
nings. Also an egg race; wheel
barrow race, foot race and sack
race for cash prizes. A committe
on general arrangements was ap
pointed by the president, consist
ing of Messrs. Walter Thomas, D. M.
Jones, Geo. Poisall, C. A. Miller,
Frank Morgan, Wm. Smitman,
Grossman, Buttery, Newell and
Newlan.
The committee on general ar
rangements will meet Thursday
evening at the council chamber to
appufnt sub-committees and make
further arrangements in detail for
the celebration.
In the evening a grand ball will
be given at Rockwood Hall, where
sociability will reign supreme and
a genuine good time will be had.
