A telegram received by Rev. Luther Moore, pastor of the church, states that a wonderful work is being done by the evangelist in Guthrie, Ky and that it will be impossible for him to arrive here before Saturday. On that evening it is planned to hold a reception in the big tent, the object being to give all an opportunity to meet these people and become person ally acquainted with them Besides the pastors of the several churches of the city it is hoped to have Mayor Sattler present and other heads of civic socie ties, giving these great religious work ers a welcome that will at once con vince them that Plattsmouth's heart is in the right place. Buy New Home. A deal was consummated yesterday whereby George R. Saylcs becomes the possessor of the handsome resi dence property owned by Geo. Born in the western part of the city. Mr. Born has only owned the property a short time, moving in from his fine farm several miles west of the city last spring. Mr. Born states that he enjoys city life very much, but that the opportuni ties for making money on the farm now are so great that he feels that he can not afford tfi. tax.way especially as he owns one of the finest farm prop erties in Cass county. Celebrate Anniversary. Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Petersen, and in celebration of the event they entertained about twenty of their friends at their home on lower Main street. The evening was spent in progressive high-five and at its close a four course luncheon ' was served which; was much enjoyed by those pres ent. At a late hour the guests de parted wishing Mr. and Mrs. Petersen many tecurrences of the happy event. Glenn Rawls who has been connected with White's grocery store for some time past has resigned his position to accept the place C. E. Wescott'a Sons' made vacant by the resignation of Matt Jirousek, the latter going to Chicago to accept a place with a large wholesale concern. County Attorney Ramsey made a trip to Wsir yesterday morning to be pres ent in the afternoon at the marriage of an old school friend, Lyman Peck. He returned on the evening train. Big Timel For Eagles State and National Conventions at Omaha This Week At- , tract Large Crowds. Past President-John J. Ryder, Om aha. President-Jule Althaus Omaha. Vice President-Charles A. Tracy, Benson. ( ' Secretary -J. M. Tanner, South Om-J aha. ' Treasurer-Russell E. Danders, Chad- ron. , 1 ' Chaplain George' Gamble, Florence. Conductor-M. Pedersen, Blair. -Inner Guard-T. L. Walker, McCook. Outer Guard-M. M. Green, Norfolk. Trustee-C. H.' Christiansen, Fre mont; R. II. Schwitzer, Lincoln; Dr. A. J. Ames, North Platte. These are the officers elected by the Nebraska aerie of Eagles at Benson Tuesday afternoon. Chadron was chos en as the next place of meeting. Grand Island was also a bidder for the conven tion, but unfortunately for it, and for tunately for Chadron, the Grand Island aerie was not ' up with its per capita and consequently not in the eligible list. Following the election and other busi ness, the new officers were installed and the convention concluded. The convention adopted two impor tant resolutions.one recommending the establishment of a nation) home for aged Eagles and those who have tu berculosis. The other urges state au tonomy, which will be one of the live issues in the rational convention. Today will occur the grand parade of the visiting delegates and it is esti mated that 10,000 Eagles will be in line. Plattsmouth sent up a delegation of about sixty, No. 15 on the Burling ton this morning taking over a hundred visitors. Reports from Omaha received during the week are, to the effect that this meeting is one of. the most suc cessful in the history of the order, srtcr many good words have been spoken for Omaha for the manner in which she has entertained her visitors. Out On Bail. Charles Baker, who was recently ar rested on a charge of bigamy on infor mation furnished the county attorney from his old home in Ohio, and who has since been confined in the county jail, was released on bail the first of the week, and is now looking for work at his trade of stone mason. The county court fixed the amount of his bond at $500 at his hearing. Later Judge Travis reduced this to $400. Old friends of the accused in Ohio made up a purse of $300 and deposited with the First National Bank of this city, and his at torneys, Sullivan and Gering, furnished the balance. The confinement has. had a bad effect upon the health of Mr. Baker, but he thinks he will quickly recover his usua robustness when he gets to work. Compliments the Parmele. Plattsmouth has many things of which her citizens are justly proud, fine business houses, churches, schools, hotels, etc., but perhaps none of them stand out in such prominence, as com pared with similar things in other cities, as does our opera house. Frank H. Leonard, the Christian Science lecturer who spoke in this city last week, made the statement that in all his travels. with one exception, he had not found so handsome and well appointed a structure as the Parmele, and many cities much larger in population could not boast of so good a house. New Decorations. Charles Martin, the barber, with commendable push and enterprise is having the interior of his place of busi ness repainted and decorated. While Charles' political principles are re garded by many as dreadfully un orthodox he is a delightfully optimistic cuss and keeps well up with the great American Zeitgeist. Kinkead & Ma honey are doing the work and with their handicraft are working a trans formation. Dwyer Win Case. The case of D. O. Dwyer vs. John j Hatt, jr., wherein the plaintiff sued to recover for rent and other items aggre- ; gating the sum of $0.23 was tried be fore a jury in Judge Archer's court I Tuesday, and judgment found for the plaintiff in the sum of $25 and costs, amounting in all to $10.20.
