XLVI NO. 40 Plattsmouth Boosts Carnival Over 200 Citizens Headed By the M. W. A. Band Visit the Metropolis. About a week ago Henry Gering and a committee of citizens from Omaha visited Plattsmouth and invited our citizens to go up and partake of the hospitality of the Aksarben bunch. Of course the invitation was accepted and preparation at once began for the proper observance of Plattsmouth Day at the den of Aksarben. A special train was chartered and it soon became evident that the crowd that went would be a big one. At 7:30 Monday evening over 200 businessmen and citizens gathered on Main street and headed by the band marched to the depot and boarded the special on the Burlington arriving in Omaha about 8 o'clock, where they were taken on board the street cars and hustled to the den. The program there was as fine as one gets a chance to see in a life time and consisted of an address of welcome by the High Grand Pusher after which th crowd were entertained with a very excellent opera company composed of members of the society. The title of thoir great production was Paprika Schnitzel or the Bleached Haired Dam sell who maashed Captain Kid. It was a great production and those taking part acquitted themselves gloriously. The show began promptly at 9 o'clock and lasted over two hours. Probably too much credit cannot be given the members of the Plattsmouth party who assisted in the production of the opera. About forty of the bajht looking were selected and taken behind the scenes and given a few moments practice on New Fall Goods Are Here Donimiecl by Riwciiw.ild tt VcIL We want to show you the best things from the best makers of clothing in America.

McDaniels was sent back because he stepped on the toe of one of the members of the chorus and put her out of business. J. P. Falter wouldn't do anything but try to Bell Capt. Kid a piece of real estate and so he wa3 sent back. George Dovey tried to abduct Papricker and barely escaped with his life while a lot more showed either personal or physical defects which incapaciated them from the ardu ous duties required. As it turned out on! about a dozen were pronounced perfect specimens of physical and per sonal beauty and the rest were sent back in disgrace. When the tried and true lined up on the stage they were surely a fine bunch of fellows and the Plattsmouth crowd foil proud of them and showed it by the great ovation given. In pulling off the different stunts Ray Travis excelled in his aerial flight with a flying machine Frank Bestor, Earl Travis and two or three others brought down the house with their piano chorus. E S. Tutt fell down on his stunt but hopes to do better this fall. W. C. Ramsey as the man behind the go it had an easy time but lost out just as he was beginning to have lots of fun. But the most fa vored of all was John Hatt who as King Easytime on the throne surround ed by his harem, looked and acted as if he had been there before. The rest of the lucky dozen acquitted them selves nobly and Plattsmouth is proud of them. Too much credit cannot be given Mayor Sattlcr of this city for his ad- aress to me umana Knights. lie in vited them to come to rialtsmoulh on the 4th of September and they would be right royally welcomed. Henry Gering put the Omaha fellows on rec ord by calling on all who would go to Plattsmouth and attend the Carnival on the 4th to stand up, and a large number responded. Judge Root also made a short address while Mr. Songan of the .Kansas City Star talked for a few moments. At its close tlie" crowd was ushered into the lunch room where at fifteen minutes to eight by numerous clocks they were entertained with a lunch consisting of soda water, sandwiches, soda water, colTee, soda water, cigars, soda water, and more soda water. At 8 o'clock the bunch marched from the den and entering the cars made a quick run to the depot arriving there a little after midnight. The M. W. A band of this city made a decided hit with the Omahaites and were frequently called upon to assist in the musical part of the program. A large delegation was also present from West Point which added to the large crowd from Plattsmouth made about all the den would hold. The man who fails to accept the hos pitality of the Knights of Aksarben when the invitation is extended loses ai event in his life which he will have cause to regret. The editor of this paper was most agreeably surprised to recognize in "Hero Cupid," one of the leading mem bers of the opera, Clinton Miller, who as a lad nearly twenty years ago offi ciated as "Devil" in the office of which we were at that time a compositor. He i3 an excellent tenor singer and his solo3 were much appreciated by the crowd. He owns a fine job office in Omaha and is dtjing well. He enjoyed short visit wUh him behind the scenes. Take it all around it was an evmt which will long be remembered with pleasure by those who wero present. As a boost for riatt.mouth it was a success and one that will be of much benefit in future years. Excursion Next Tuesday. Our next excursion to Alberta,. Can ada, will be next Tuesday, September 7. The immigration into the Alberta country this fall far surpasses that of any past seuson. Crops are splendid up there this year and the land -is ad yancing accordingly.

Mr. William Hayward of Nebraska City was in town Friday. Miss Ruth Murdoch, who attending a nurse's training has been school at Chicago, is visiting her father. Mr. F. P.

The Register is no more, having died last Friday of a very wide-spread dis ease known as financial troubles (Latin name: pecuniam careo) and as a re sult the town will rely solely upon this column for the local news. Mr. T. J. O'Day, erstwhile editor of the defunct and departed Nehawka Register, and his family arc pulling up stakes preparatory to moving to Mai din, Wash., where he will again em bark in the newspaper business. Mr. O'Day and his paper will be missed, as the latter wa3 as up-to-date and pro gressive a paper as could be found in 01dnss. As he is bound for a coun try that is inhabited by energetic boost ers like himself, little fear may be en tertained for his future success. The monotony of boarding bouse life at Pollard's fruit farm was somewhat relieved for a short time Tuesday even ing, and it came about- in this way: Trouble had been brewing in camp for some time between a big Russian by the name of Dutz and a newly arrived West Virginian known as Jim Stuck, and Tuesday evening matters came to a head. The big Russian, who was a bluffer from the word go, gave Stuck to understand that he (Stuck) was afraid to hit him, whereupon the West Virginian, seeing that Dutz, though a Russian, was "from Missouri," hauled off and relieved the former subject of the czar of his illusion. Next minute Dutz was doing a first class Marathon in a frantic quest for the gate which, with the timely assistance of his eighteen-year-old son, he finally found and fled homeward. Next day Dutz and family left for Colorado, whither the West Virginian followed in tie even ing. Let us hope that wjen they meet again fh-.'ir angsr will have cooled and thus be averted another skirmish be tween Russia and West Virginia. Married. At the residence of M. Fanger in this city on Tuesday evening occurred fthe marriage of Miss Laura Schall and Mr. Philip Orkin, both of Omaha, the ceremony being performed by Rabbi Cohn of Omaha.

About four ocloek Monday afternoon fire was discovered at the Hohlshuh place in the western part of the city, The fire company ouicklv rcsnomW and found the fire to be in one of the barns on the premises.

Cpr'lt irv by Hal, sthilfnfr & .Mart Opening Day Of Carnival The First Day a Cloudy One, But a Fair Crowd in Attendance Wednesday morning, the first day of the Merchants Carnival, opened with light shower and throughout the day the sun refused to shine, although very little rain fell. The numerous shows on the street opened up for business about noon and the streets soon began to put on a carnival appearance. The city has been decorated in regu lar holiday attire, many of the build ings being quite lavishly dressed for the occasion. Many of them have gone to considerable expenso to do bo and. the result is very satipfactory. The opening day was live stock day and the exhibit at Smith's barn, which is headquarters for that part of the show, was exceedingly fine. The M. W. A. band interlivened the- day with numerous selections and the crowd was well entertained. The ball game between Plattsmouth and Louis- ville was won by the home team 1 a. score of 7 to 3. Thursday morning was a decidedly damp affair, as it rained nearly all night and showed no signs of clearing; up when the time for the exercises to. begin arrived. It was a great disap pointment, as Thursday had ben se lected as Pioneer Day, and large crowds were expected to participate. Friday is Merchants Day, and Satur day will be devsted to sports, the pro gram of which appears in this issue of the paper. At the close of the carnival we will give a list of the principal prize win ners and a more elaborate write-up of the occasion. Co Slow. The new editor and manager of the N'ews-IIerai.d wishes to say to the public that on account of being unac quainted with the people and also on account of numerous changes we can, not give them the kind of newspaper at this time we desire. Later on however we shall spare no expense to make this tho best newspaper and advertising medium in this section. We therefor ask the indulgence of the public till we can find out whtre we are at and can get to going. In returning from tho fire last day one of the horses hitched to the wagon which was drawing the hook and ladder truck, fell while coming down Fairfield hill and for a moment it seemed as if a serious accident woukf be the result. The weight of the truck forced the wagon on to the horses but the members of the fire company jumped and escaped from what might have been serious injuries. The question of good clothes is one that comes up for all of us every season; you've probably got to buy something this Fall; a suit perhaps, or an overcoat; or may be both. One social point we want to make; get this: We want you to buy your alothes here as much for the sake of what you'll get out of it, as for what we'll get. The right idea of a business transaction is a mutual ad vantage; a fair and equal exchange of values. That's the way we want to do busi ness. Come in when you're rondy and see how true it is.
