XLVINO.lU Consolidsted'Jan. 1. 1835 Work Being Rapidly Pushed Carnival Committees are Doing Good Work in Making Arrangements. There was great enthusiasm at the special meeting of the Carnivul com mittee and those interested in the suc cess of the festival last evening. Di rector Frank Janda and Joseph Kanka of the Modern Woodman Band met with the committee and entered into an agreement to furnish music during the five days. No trouble at all was ex perienced in coming to terms as both the carnival committee and the band boys were disposed to do what was right to further the best interests of the city. Luke Wiles, the enterprising stock man, was present at the invitation of the committee and accepted the chair manship of the committee on the Live Stock and Agricultural exhibit, which will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 1, Quartus Farmele,the former appointee's business being such that he will be out of town for the greater, part of the next few weeks. As thi3 will be one of the most difficult parts of the big show to carry to a successful tormina-! tion the committee considered itself fortunate in securing the service of Mr. Wiles. He will be assisted by several live citizens each of whom will take hold of a certain department of the ex hibit. Arrangements for a special service over the M. P. on Tioneer Day will bo made t,o handle the visitors from Fort Crook sure to follow the company of soldiers who will put on a fancy drill and the base ball club which will play a match game with the locals. The ef fort to get the Government Band to accompany the soldiers and ball players will no doubt be successful. Also ar rangements will be made for a special train from Elmwood on Friday, Mer chants Day, which will bring in a large number of visitors accompanied by the Elmvood base ball nine which will play the locals that day. Klmwood's live citizens will also probably bring along their brass band which would be a splen did attraction. The committee has al so started negotiations for a special train from Havelock on Monday, Labor Day, when the Havelock shop men hope to be present and take part in the big industrial parade. The Platts mouth and Havelock ball clubs play a match game on this day which alone will be worth a trip of many miles. Numerous inquiries for concessions insures almost every amusement that could be thought of for the principal streets and the committee will also soon come to a decision on which of the several splendid and wonderful free at tractions shall be secured for the oc casion, which will be one of the biggest and best ever undertaken by the city, and every citizen should at once appoint himself a committee of one to go to boosting, as the natural result of the carnival can be the beneficial to each and everyone whether in business or simply an owner of property.

McMaken the cannon on the court house grounds which was presented to Cass county by McConihie Post has been suitably inscribed, reciting its history and the manner of its possession by the county. The inscription is on a plate of copper about six by thirteen inches, and is as follows: "This cannon was used during the war of the Rebellion at Ft. Miffen, Pennsylvania, and was given to John McConihie Post No. 45, Grand Army of the Republic, by an Act of Congress of the United States of America, for their military service in the war of 1861 to 1806. April 9th,1901, this cannon was given by John McConihie Post to Cass county ! Nebraska, to keep for all time. We leave this cannon to future gen ! erations as a remembrance of the 1 soldiers who fought for the preserva tion of the Union in the civil war Of 1 1851 to 1866. I This gun was obtained and mounted i by the special efforts of Henry C. McMaken and James W. Thomas." I First Church ol Christ, Scientist. I Sunday Services, 11 a. m. Subject j "Spirit."

Kamsky, Secretary. Baseball Cirls were Boys. The game between the Plattsmouth and "Sunflower Bloomer" base ball clubs Tuesday afternoon was a Blow and uninteresting affair, the visiting team being unable to score, though in the first half of the eighth inning a walk, an error and a single filled the bases, and with only one out the visit ors were full of hope. But a double play retired the "girls" and another opportunity to score failed to present itself, the result being 6 to 0. A larger crowd would doubtless have witnessed the game but for the fact that the re port was circulated prior to the game that most of the girls were men made up to represent lady players. Nebraka's Crop Report Government Summary Indicates Increased Yields in Five States. A summary of the government's lat est crop report by the department of Agriculture is of great interest to Nebraska farmers and a few of the chief features are mentioned for the benefit of those in this vicinity. This season's winter wheat yield will total 432,920,000 bushels as against 437,908,000 bushels last season tho av erage quality being considered 2-tcnths per cent better than lust year.. The comparative figures on corn given this season's averge as 89.3 as against a ten year average of 82.6 for August first. It is estimated this season's yield of winter wheat in three states with per cent of quality will bo as follows. State Bushels Pet. Kansas 85,478,000 88 Nebraska 42,040,000 95 Missouri 28,562,000 92 The average condition of corn now as compared on a 100 per cent basis during the past 10 years is as follows: State Iowa now 85 per c. ten years ago 84 Missouri 88 80 Nebraska .. 93 83 Kansas 90 '. 78 So. Dakota.. 92 . 86 These figures show an average im provement in prospect for this season's corn crop of nearly 7 1-2 per cent in tho five states mentioned. Persons who traveled in Illinois and other corn states clain that the prospects for a bumper crop are the best they have ever known, and there is a growing be lief that the present high prices for grain of all kinds will slump off con siderably in the near future, though on account of larger consumption there is little danger of prices going so low that farming would be considered un profitable.

Stetson Hats Celebrate Golden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. Pollock Receiva; Congratulations of Friends on Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary A more beautiful and touching pic- ture it would be difficult to imagine than was presented to the throngs of guests who gathered at the residence of Mrs. C. C. I'armele Monday after noon and evening to pay homage to her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pollock, "who reigned supreme as King and Queen wearing crowns of silvery sheen," and graciously received the congratulations and good wishes bestowed upon them by their hosts of friends and relatives. Golden indeed was the day which celebrated in happy commemoration that other golden day of fifty years ago when Thomas Pol lock took unto himself Miss Mary Kerr of Lexington, Kentucky, to travel life's pathway through "Btorm and sunshine, snow or flowers." Most gently has the hand of time touched check and brow of this estima ble couple who came to dwell among us over forty years ago, and whose benign presence made possible the delightful event which marked the half century milestone of their journey. The state ly dignity of the still stalwart groom as he stood beside his lovely little bride whose smiling flower-like face beamed sweetly upon all she greeted, left an impression of connubial love and faith fulness not soon to be forgotten. That they may continue in health and happi ness together for many more bright years is the sincere wish of all who know them. Their children are James, of Omaha, T. H., of this city, Mrs. Alice McElroy of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mrs. Lillian Parmele of this city. Extra Potlco for Carnival. ' " At the meeting of the city council Monday night E. A. Wu1 appeared as a representative of the Commercial club and spoke in favor of the appoint ment of special police during the carni val. There was little opposition and Mayor Sattler was authorized to ap point such extra police force as in his judgment would be found necessary. Some of our citizens were apprehensive of trouble, and with good cause as one challenge for a fight to the finish has already been printed and given a great deal of prominence. As a matter of fact the carnival promoters expect but little trouble from boozers and high tempered scrappers but it is well enough to have more police officers to keep a sharp lookout for Buch offenders among the crowds so that if any of them start trouble they can be quickly and efficiently subdued and punished by fine. The subject of hitching posts also came up Mr. Wurl explaining that per sons whe drove in were often complain ing because of no place to tie teams. The council acted favorably on this and it was decided to erect posts at various places on the streets and vacant lots near the business center. 1.00 Fall models now on display. you see them.
