Greenwood added another scalp last Saturday, to her belt when vhe home team copped the long end of a 3 to 2 score with Malcom as victim. The game was loosely played, the terrific heat making snappy work an impossi bility, a total of fourteen errors being charged up to the players. At the end of the fifth inning the score stood 3 to 0 and it looked as if the local bunch had a walk-a-way but a f ingle, an error and a hit batsman sent a man around in Malcolm's half of the sixth while two errors and a base on balls filled the bases with visitors in the first half of the ninth. Craig lost control and hit the next batter forcing in the second run and thd bases were still filled ith no one out. On the batted ball the in field workd a neat double play and the Greenwood twirler settled down and fanned the next batter for third out, thus stopping what had appeared to be a winning rally for the visiting team. The score: R. H. E. Malcom 000001001 2 1 9 Greenwood 01011000 3 59 Batteries; Greenwood, Craig and Han son; Malcolm, Gans and Broderick. Struck out; Craig 5, Gans 7, Base on Balls; Craig 3, Gans 1.

The Greenwood team with a number of substitutes in the line, up went to Cresco for a game on Sunday and came ' home with the score 6 to 3 in favor of Cresco. The locals tried out a new pitcher, Charles Helm. He was able to hold out for one inning and daring his stay on the slab the Cresco team con nected with his left handed offerings for a total of six runs. That ended the "Swede." Jame going and the latter succeded in holding his opponents to one solitary hit for the remainder of the game. The score: Greenwood 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ceresco 60000000 0-3. -6. Has Operation Performed Clyde Adamson recently had an oper ation performed by Dr. E. D. Cummins to straighten the little finger on his left hand. About a year ago he had the little finger badly crushed and it has since caused much trouble in work ing as it stayed bent. Clyde has not much hopes of getting the finger in normal condition, but he thought, he would try it and possibly overcome the necessity for amputation. Mr. Bauer Improves Residence.

Plattsmouth will be well represented at Omaha on July 13, when the Bar num & Bailev ereatest show on earth exhibits there on that date, for a great many of our citizens have already ex pressed themselves as having made up their minds to attend.

No, we meant every word oi il. The Nebraska Telephone Company is now located in their new offices over Falter & Thierolf's clothing store. When the people of this city and Cass county become acquainted with the completeness and promptness and effi ciency of service, they will doubtless appreciate what the Nebraska Tele phone Company has done and are doing in the improved service given. In building the exchange in this city, the entire plant has been built according to to the best known methods in telephone engineering. The old method of string ing hundreds of wires about the city has been supplanted by a complete new cable system extending to almost every portion of the city. In the business portion of the city cable terminals are used on the buildings, and insulated wire is used thus reducing the danger from electrical storms, as well as the inconvenience to the patrons, which has heretofore followed such storms, to the very minimum. In placing their phones in residences the company do the wir ing and use a lightning protection ap proved by the Underwriters Associa tion, thus giving the beat possible pro tection from lightning.

The so-called loco disease of horsep, sheep and cattle has been for many years a source of serious loss to stock men in the west, who have generally attributed it to certain weeds eaten by the stock. Investigations by the United States department of Agriculture have not only confirmed the supposition as to the poisonous effect of these plnnta, but have resulted In tho discovery and identification of barium as a definite poisonous element in them. Feeding experiments establishing the fact that the plants are responsible for the dis ease were carried on under field and corral conditions by Dr. D. Dwight Marsh, while the discovery of barium was made in the laboratory by Dr. A. C. Crawford. The loco weeds are a class of legum inous plants of which the principal ones are the purple loco weed (Astragalus mollissimus) and the rattle-weed (Ara- gallus lamberti.) One or both of these prevail to a greater or less extent over an area including all or parts of Mon tana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. The characteristic symptoms of the disease are a slow, staggering gait rough coat, staring, vacant look, and emaciation. The affected animals have hallucinations, cannot be led or backed, show more or less lack of muscular co ordination, gradually lose flesh and die. The affection comes on in a slow and cumulative manner, and there is no possibility of animals becoming immune by continually eating the plants. The proverb "An ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure" applies to this disorder. Although good re sults can often be obtained by the treat ment of locoed animals, the most ef fective way of dealing with the trouble is to keep animals from eating the loco plants.

Plattsmouth 00002022 0-6 Omaha 02 0 1 0 0 0 1 0-4 The above shows the score by innings of a very interesting game of base ball between Plattsmouth and the Frater nal Union base ball team of Omaha, Nebr., Saturday afternoon. The teams were very evenly matched the score running closely throughout the game. For the home team McCauley pitched all except the first two innings, Richey holding down the box in those, while Jensen performed likewise forJOmaha. They were all on their mettle and bat five hits were taken off Richey and McCauley and the Plattsmouth hittera secured eight off of Jensen. The backstops for both teams did excellent work. McCrearis, shortstop was unfortunate in getting his finger hurt but he continued the game with but two errors one of which was the. indirect cauae of a score for Platts mouth. The basemen all played, errorless game with the exception of Gould who fell down twice. The fielders all played their positions well, especially Beal for Plattsmouth. who captured several difficult flies. Fitzgerald made a corking two base hit in the fifth which brought in a score from second. The Omaha players seemed to be a. trifle weak at bat but made a number of very smooth plays in the field, one s double from third to second to first be ing especially brilliant. One of the pleasant features of the game was the absence of roughness and rag chewing. The next game here will probably be on July 5 as the home team plays at Louisville on Ju'y 3rd at the celebra tion. The boys hope to secure Manley for the 5th.
