"Where Quality Counts. Rev. Baum gartner Resigns 111 Health Cause of Popular Mur dock Pastor's Re tirement. Last Sunday, Sept. 2Gth, at the Lu theran church north of town occurred a most memorable farewell reception which will alwajs be a pleasant and cheering page on lift's book. Owing to cot tinued ill health the beloved pastor Rev. J. E. Baumgprtner was unable lor.ger to minister to his congregation in the able manner ho desired and as he also wished to leave his charge in splen did condition, he thought it best to re sign his pastorate at this time, while the church was prospering and he still retained his mental faculties. A meeting of the church members was held Sunday afternoon, at which time a Rev. Meiers of Arapahoe.Nebr., was tendered a call to fill the vacancy caused by Rev. Baumgartners resigna tion. Mr. Meiers was strongly recom mended by those present who knew of his ability and the call was made by a unanimous vote and should he decide to accept of this call we bid him a hearty welcome. After the business of the da was disposed of, Rev. Heart man made a fine address to the con gregation present in which he went ovlt the record of the past 17 years during which time Rev. Baumgartner was pastor of this flock, certainly the Lord has dealt kindly with the good people of the congregation, a3 they have prospered in every way beyond what was their, due. The ladies of the church next very cordially invited all present to partake of refreshments which had been prepared in a bountiful marncr; and it was a real pleasure to drop a coin into the basket which was passed to show our appreciation of the ,. good works of the retiring minister, and which was only a slight testimonial of the love and affection in which he was held by his admiring llo;k. Seven teen years ago it was that Rev. Bsum gartner took up the local church work, coming here from RulTulo county; and during this period of time he has suc ceeded in buildh g up a very strong congregation which worships in a beau tiful church, surrounded by groves, viryeards and orchards which bespeak his handiwork as a first class horticul turalist. In this beauty spot are also located the parsonage and school, as well as the cemetery. Rev. Baumgartner and family will YOUR 'ENGINEER Will love you if you supply him with our radiant nut coal.

We regret his departure from our midst and can only wish him a full measure of the good things in store for all those who have lived a true christian life in this world. Subscriptions Are Slow. Major W. R. Flemke returned last evening from Avoca where he had been Sunday to deliver a lecture and a cou ple of sermons. Ilia- organization has recently sent out hundreds of letters appealing to the community for funds with which, to purchase a place lor worship and the major desires to im preis upon the people the need for re sponding promptly. He states that so far but two responses have been re ceived, one from this city and one from Murdock, and as the season is rapidly advancing when it will no longer be possible to hold street meetings he is very anxious to get his funds in and se cure possession of a place of worship. Prospects are Cood. Judge Beeson left last eveningon the Schuyler for South Bend where he goes to do a little campaigning. From there he will make the Rock Island towns in the west part of the county and return to this city via the Missouri Pacific. The judge is meeting with a most hearty reception in his canvas for re election, the assurances being received from all parts of the county being of a character to indicate that a sweeping republican victory may be expected this fall. Feeder Condition Unsatisfactory. feeders or both cattle and sheep in this section are experiencing much trouble in securing suitable stock, or stock at a suitable price. The South Omaha markets continue to soaramong the clouds, and while of course they may hold up indefinitely.the local feed ers are slow in getting in their stock, as at the present prices of both feed and feeders the element of chance is so great as to warrant making haste slowly.

The base ball season in the Western League closed last Tuesday after one of the hottest contests ever seen in the west. Up to one month ago four teams, Sioux City, Des Moines, Omaha and Denver were making a fight for the top position with chances that either might win. A few day later saw Denver take a slump which nut her out of the race for the flag, while three weeks ago Omaha lost out as a contender and the race narrowed down to Sioux City and Des Moines. These two teams see-sawed backward and forward for several days, first one at the top and then the other till about a week before the season closed when it looked as if Sioux City had the flag practically won, caused by the Lincoln team taking a double header from Des Moines, Sioux City at the same time holding her own with Omaha. How ever Lincoln took two out of three from the Sioux a day or so later and Des Moines won a double header from Omaha and the fight again took on n interesting condition. Des Moines and Sioux City later got together the former winning the full series of three games, thus putting her in the running again, with a percentage of .601 to Sioux City .617. With only three days of the season left Sioux City went to Omaha to play three games and Des Moines enter tained Lincoln on the Des Moines grounds. The first game between Om aha and Sioux City on Sunday was a tie 2 to 2, the second was won by Sioux City on Monday 12 to 1. Des Moines won from Lincoln both days and when the final contest came on Tuesday it was necessary for Sioux City and Om aha to play on" the tie game to settle the pennant, for if Des Moines woni from Lincoln, anil Omaha won the first game of the double header it would take the second game to decide whether Des Moines or Sioux City would win the pennant of 1909. Omaha won the first game from Sioux City by the score of 6 to 2 and when the news came that Des Moines had won from Lincoln the excitement at the Omaha grounds was intense. Men went wild and the women waived their Merry Widow bonnets in the air and shouted themselves hoarse. At the time the result was announced, the second game of the Sioux City-Omaha double header was about half over and Omaha was one run to the good. Sioux City tied it up the next inning, but the strain under which they had played for the past week seemed too much for them and in the last half of that inning they went to pieces and Omaha got around for two more. The next inning both sides scored once but it wasn't enough for Sioux City and so the game was over and a pennant lost for a team that at one time seemed to have the flag won without a doubt. But that is one of the things in base ball which makes the game so popular and gives it a standing as the great national game. The game is never won for sure until it is over, and in this case as in the case this year in the other leagues the pennant is not won till the season is practically closed. Following in the standing of the teams at the close of the season. It will be noted that Des Moines is only one point to the good: P. W. L.

Fine Millinery Opening The Greatest Display of Millin ery Ever Opened in Plattsmouth. M. Fanger will open and have on display on next Thursday, Friday and Saturday the largest, finest and most up-to-date display of millinery goods ever shown to the ladies of Cass county. Mr. Fanger has always used great efforts to please his lady patrons in stylish millinery goods, and every one who has visited his store k how's that each succeeding season he ht more than held good in this respect. This line of millinery goods has been select ed with only one idea in view, and that is to please his former patrons and all those who desire the latest and moBt up-to-date styles in hats and bonnets, and all other lines of millinery goods. The fact is, Mr. Fanger's stock of such goods is very large, and in his buying he purchases for two establishments, one here and at Omaha, and he has the advantage over other small concerns of getting his goods cheaper from the wholesale houses than the others, be cause he buys in greater quantities. This is easy enough to understand why Mr. Fanger has the confidence of the ladies of Plattsmouth and vicinity and why his goods prove the best in their line. Faneer's department store is known all over Cass county, and the ladies especially know that when he advertises a fine display, the goods will be there in great variety. Remember the dates of this great display-Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, September 30, Octoler 1 and 2. Don't fail to be there on one of those dates and order what you want. There will be a great rush, and milliners will have to have time to trim what you order. And we want to say that Mr. Fanger has em ployed as head milliner an expert, and one right up-to-date with her work. If you need a range let us show you the Majestic at John Bauer's this week.
