M. train yo-lerd;iy evening. Main Mlr-'ct busi ness houses were tffiily and beauti fully decoi-iitoil willi llaH, btrerimers and bunting. An arch of welcome had been ervclcd lit Fifth utreet, en shrouded in llu national colors, the words "Wob-omo to the Kijjhtintf 1st" 'inbla.oiinr its top across the street. As early us S oYlod; a croud bojjan to p; iilit-r at the station, and as time ;i-sim1 it o-rrw until when tho train arrivtui several thousand anxious and expectant, yet o;ood-h umo'cd and vi vacious, spectators surrounded tho station. At o o'clock a proce.-sion of (I. A. It. veterans was formed in front of their hull and marched down tho street, l)cii!' joined by .-ome twenty ex-member of tho Second and Third Nebraska. At Third street the H. & M. band fell in in front, struck uj) a patriotic air and marched down to Ihj front of the depot, re versed and headed up street. Here the ranks of the veterans wore opened and a ,rai!y h -decked carriage was driven betwe-u the open ranks. Soon tho tr ain wi.isHed in. and amid cheers and j.yous .-bouts from the waiting throng the yuu-ls of honor Merritt Kerr of t'o. I, Chas. Scarlo, Prank Johnson and Clarence Fry, of Co. M foii'Ml a welcome home. As tho boys alifihtt.d from the train a surging tnas of friends, many of whom wept tears of joy, seized and do t.iined their hands and it was some time before tho committoo of escort could break through the crowd. Mus cular urnis finally lifted them to their shoulders and bodily carried tbem to the carriage, wher, despite the ranks of veterans endeavoring to keep them back, the prosuro to grasp their hands and utter a word of welcome was too much, and in a moment a great jam of living humanity surged about tho carriage, where the four j'oung men, dre-sed in their blue uni forms, stood up and reached their hands oat in every direction seem ingly at the sam i time, to reach the many hands stretched up to greet them, with "God bless you I" "Glad to see you and other expressions of happiness and good will. Three cheers and a tiger were given with great volume as tho bovs reached the car riage. Soon the band began to pl:'.v a lively air and the procession started up Main street the sidewalks and streets being filled with a moving mass of people all eyes bent on tho c?.rri,ige contain itithe returning heroes. Arriving at Sixth street the proces eion turned north and halted in front of the Hotel Riley. In stentorian tones Post Commander Todd of the lr. A. iv. called to order arid an nounced that Hoi. R. H. Windham would deliver an address of welcome. Mr. Windh.un said that words were too cheap ta express the sene of joy and gra'itule of this peoplo to the men who had undo themselves and their state famous in the annals of war by their courage, fortitude and bravery in upholding the tlag of their country. Eeonidis and his brave Spartans had tn-ide themselves im mortal in their defense of the pass at Thermopyhe. and these friends and neighbor boys of ours had brought imperishable renown to our city, state and nation by their prodigious valor and courage in tho far-otT Phillip- pine Islands. They had helped to lift up the ling upon the shores of the Orient from whose heights it would never come down, promising enlight en ment and liberty to an ignorant race. He bid the returned soldiers a thou sand welcomes to the homes and hearts of tho people, and assured them that any wish of theirs would be a law to the people of this city, where they were reared and hnd their homes. He talked at some length in this vein and his remarks were frequently greeted with cheers and hearty hand-clap ping. Mr. Windham paid a high tribute of praise to the memory of Guy Liv ingston, who gave up his life in the first daj-'s battle with the Filipinos February 5, lM.Ui as a pure patriot who had rather fight for his country in the ranks tnan wear the stripes of captain where no lighting was to be done. At the conclusion of Mr. Windham's address, which it was intended should close the program, loud and persistent calls were mado by the crowd for Matthew Gering, and finally Chairman Todd saw that gentleman in the crowd and called him up and introduced him. Mr. Gerins made one of his characteristically ready, addresses, very pleasing and eulogistic of the guests of the occasion and of the old soldiers of 'til, whom he said, should should not be forgotten. At the close of his address thechair man announced the ceremonies at an end, the soldiers were driven to their several homes and tho multitude slowly dispersed. Keriuct-ri Hten to Omalm.

The Attendance Ktllmatfd at From S.OOO to 7,000 1'eople Bpeuklng In the Morning and the Hporta In the After noon Were Highly Knjoyecl The Hand lioya Get Left. The Cass County Log Rolling asso ciation, comprising members of the various Modern Woodmen camps of tho county, held its iirst log rolling, or picLic, in VVeepiDg Water yesterday and it was an entire success. It was held in the beautiful park just a few blocks from the business part of the city. The attendance was estimated at from 5,000 to 7,000, being a happy lot of people from the different towns and from the country districts. There were any amount of well-filled baskets of eatables carried onto the grounds. and besides these the hotels and res taurants were taxed beyond their ea pacity at dinner time to feed the mul titude of visitors. There is no doubt that it was the largest crowd ever congregated in the village of Weep ing Water at one time. Plattsmouth was well represented on the grounds, one or more familiar faces of county seat citizens appearing in almost every little group of people standing about talking. There were 270 tickets sold at the Missouri Pacific depot and a great many people drove over early in the morning, making fully 300. At Union a delegation of 200 boarded the train, while Murraj', Mynard and Ne hawka furnished large crowds. Arriving at Weeping Water, the crowd formed in line, the Plattsmouth delegation, headed by the 13. & M band, being in the lead, marched around a block and over to the grounds. The foresters of the Platts mouth camp did some tioe drill work while they marched through the city and were reviewed by a large number of people. Candidates for county offices were in evidence on every hand republicans, fusionists and the whole thing being represented. Rut the boys seemed to have a hard task to button-hole any one. The people were there for a good social time and did not want to be harrangued with politics. How ever, after the close of the amusement program their hearts became more softened and they lent more willing eirs to the pleadings of the boys who want to 6erve the people during the next two jears. The Program Opong. Bwfore 11 o clock all of the seats at the speaker's stand were occupied and those who did not go to the grounds early had difficulty in getting near enough to hear the speaking. The program opened with a prayer by Rev. Root of Weeping Water, followed by a song by the Eagle Male Quartet. M. M. Butler, representing the Weeping Water camp, delivered an address of welcome. He reviewed the work of the lodge from the timo of its or ganization, his address being listened to with close attention. Mr. Butler is a fine speaker. Professor E. E. Geer and family then repdered some inetru-I mental music, after which responses were made by each camp of the county. County Attorney J. L. Root made the closing response, on behalf of the Pl.-ittsmouth camp, and his talk was well received. This finished the program for the forenoon and people began skirmish ing for their baskets and in a few moments the picnic grounds were lit erally covered with good things to eat such as is only provided by people on such occasions as this. The A nusements. After the stroDg men had partaken of a bounteous repast the tug of war contest was pulled off. Henry II. Ger ing had offered a cash prize of $5 to the winners, and the Plattsmouth team was to pull nine m6n belonging to another camp. After a considerable length of time nine men were selected to pull against the Plattsmouth -team and they pulled very strong landing the Plattt mouth boys over the line after a hard struggle. It was supposed tnat the competing team belonged to the Nehawka camp, but it was dis covered that the best men from four camps had been pulling on the rope Manley, Murray, Nehawka and Avoca being represented. It was also stated that an extra man had assisted during the latter part of the struggle. Con siderable dissatisfaction was expressed at paying over the prize money, but it was finally done. Another tug of yfar contest between the Elm wood nine and a picked team resulted in an easy victory for the lat ter. Probably the most exciti ug contest of the afternoon was a seventy-five yard foot race in which S. A.Mor rison, republican candidate for count superintendent and editor of the Eagle Beacon, was the winner, with Harry Reed of Weeping Water second. Mr. Morrison will be remembered as the fat man who tried to train himself down for admission into Company B a year ago last spring. He is a sprinter with but few equals for one of his weight, and if he does as well in the race for county superintendent his op ponents will not be able to keep in sight of him. . M. V. Gibson of Plattsmouth had a walk-away (of course he couldn't go faster) in the contest for the heaviest Woodman. He tipped the beam at 324, and no one else would attempt to outweigh him. There were a number of contests for the lightest Woodman. A. J. Trilety of this city was one of ihem, but he was too heavy, City Clerk Wood of Louisville being the winner at ninety-seven pounds. The competitive drill of the Platta- mouth team wa a very fine piece of work and won the praise and admira tiou of the vast crowd who witnessed it. None of tho other teams wanted to eornpete for the beautiful $25 ban ner with such a well drilled team, so, of courte, it was given to tho Platts mouth team. In tho polo vaulting contest Otto Wurl and George Koehnke carried off the honors, the former jumping eight feet, as high as tho pole would permit. The Uneeda biscuit contestfor ladies resulted in a victory for Miss Hart of Weeping Water, while Mrs. Frank Curtis .vas second. Tho B & M. band came in for Its share of praise from the large crowd of people, who were well pleased with its work. Every Plattsmouth citizen was justly proud of it. The boys gave them plenty of rau-do all day long and it was of the kind which people do not tiro of hearing. ltaiol Hoya Are Left. The only thing which occurred to mar the pleasures of tho day was that about forty of the Plattsmouth people, including the band boys, got left at Weeping Water. It was tho under standing that the train should leave Weeping Water on tho return at 7 p. ra. if the excursionists woro all on board, but if tbey were not they would not go r ut until 7 30. Con ductor J. L. But'er had charge of the train and frcm his actions he would be better fitted to act as conductor on a dray line. He got mad about some trivial matter before he left the sta tion in this oily in the morning and it seemed to "stick in his craw" all day. Tho train had barely reached the city limits when it was discovered that the baud boys were left. The bell cord was pulled and the engineer brought the train to a standstill. The wise con ductor, who seemed to imagine he was the Gould system all in . himself, was given the situation, whereupon he flew into a frenzy and gave the engineer orders to go ahead, which he did. The precaution of blowing the whistle or in any manner notifying the crowd of the departure of the train was not taken, which is ordinarily done and it is believed by a great many that the conductor wanted to leave some of the people just for spito. H. It Gering and others who were left went to the train dispatcher and made a good. strong kick, and as a result when Union was reached orders were in waiting for the wise conductor to run back to Weeping Water to get the re mainder cf his passengers. However, it was Ihtn learned that an extra freight would soon arrive at Weep ing Water, so the special train was ordered to lie in Union until the boys could get over on the freight which took a little over an hour. It is nrettv certain that the actions of this conducto'- was not a very good ad vertisemeut for the Missouri Pacific road, so far as Plattsmouth people are concerned. The T.

To the Editor of The Iiws: Noticing in ThkNews of this week that our would-be county superintend ent, Mr. O. P.

A new yard would be just in time to get the custom of said crowd to their lasting sorrow, for we now know them to our cost. Wolf & Tool. First Kegtineat Vlg. Lieutenant Colonel Frank D.
