PRESIDENT TAFT
PITCHES FIRST BALL
(From Thursday's Dally)
Axel Krort, an employee of the
Burlington, was very budly hurt this
morning by a fall fiom a bridge be
tween hero and Pacific Junction.
Kron ha been with the company
but three days, having come last
Sunday from New York. He is a
single man alwut twenty four years
of age and has a brother who is also
a Burlington man. The ill fated man
was at work with the bridge gang
under K. W. Zavgren this morning on
bridgo number four a short ways from
Pacific Junct ion. The bridge is under
going some slight repairs and he was
one of the "caps" at the side of it, en
gaged in some carpenter work when
No. 15 passed over. It was heavily
laden with coal and just as it went over
tho brifdgc a large piece of the fuel
fell of the tender striking Kron
in the back, knocking him off of his
narrow perch. He fell about ten feet
and struck the hard ground below.
The crew of the passing passenger
train wcro not aware of the mishap
and proceeded unconscious of the man
they had so seriously injured. The
members of the gang hurried to the
distressed nvin and finding his condi
tiou to be so grave, they placed him on
a hand car and rushed him over to
this city.
He was taken to a doctor's office
where it was found that two ribs on
the right side had been broken. At
first it. was thought that his lungs had
been punctured but it is now thought
that the broken ribs are the only ser
ious injuries. His condition is by no
means fatal, but it will be three or
four weeks before he is able to be out

The revival moetings at the Meth
odist church are drawing out a large
attendance every evening and the
leaders are well satisfied with the
results they are securing. The song
services are continuing to be one of
the strong features of the evening
services and Mr. Alva Campbell's
solos are greatly appreciated.
Tho preaching evangelist F. A.
Campbell .lived in Plattsmouth for
some time a number of years ago
coming to the state in 1881. He was
one of the most successful ministers
the Methodist church ever had. Com
ing here in 1890 he found the church
occupying the building where the
Hild fumiteur store is now located.
The church was then under an in
debtcdnecss of $12,000, which Mr.
Cambell succeeded in paying off in
his three years time in the city and
at an enormous church- meeting,
the mortgage was burned in the street
before the building. The year '9G
when most of the money was raised
was one of tho worst hard time years
of the state. Mr. Cambell remembers
that the best of horses were selling
for about $50, people in some locali
ties were giving away their hogs for
they could get no corn for food, and
yet the church fund steadily increased
nth great rapidity during the entire
ear.
On leaving Plattsmouth iu 1S09
Mr. Campbell's health was in such
ad condition that many physicians
stated there was but small hope for
:unt. lie went to Denver for a year
or so and his health greatly improved
and today he is feeling better than he
nis for years. Since his work here
10 has been engaged in the evangelis
tic line, and making his home at Uni
versity Place.

President Inaugurates Opening Season
in Base Ball by Pitching
First Ball.
LARGE CROWD WIT,
NESSES THE EVENT
Season Opened in Washington and Home Team Shuts
Out the Philadelphia Club.
Quite a Fish Story.
"Bill" Grebe had an experience the
other night with a big fish of the
Jonah Whale calibre when he went
down to the big Muddy to look at his
set lines. He goes out in a boat every
night after dark to sec if any of the
water s inhabitants have taken
special fancy to his brand of bait
and this evening he had just reached
us line and was pulling it in when the
cord must have touched a big fish
under the gills, any way it was so
tickled that it jumped right into the
boat. ''Bill proceeded to land the
creature and found he had a forty,
pound spoon bill eat fish. He hasn-t
been able to figure out just what the
attracting power of his boat was,
but he says that was the easiest catch
he every made. The story sounds a
little briny however there were wit
nesses of the peculiar event not far
from the boat at the time.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Prcsi-
dent Taft today enjoyed the novel
experience of seeing the Washington
American league team win a ball
game. Last year he saw Washington
play Boston late in the season, but
the local players got stage fright
when the president arrived and threw
away the game. Mr. Taft remarked
that he must be a "hoodoo" and re
mained away from the ball park the
rest of the season. This morning
President Noyes of the Washington
Club went to the White house and pre
sented Mr. Taft with base ball pass
No. 1. Mr. Taft showed his apprec
iation by using it later in the day.
Accompanied by Mrs. Taft and his
military aide, Captain Archie Butt,
the president squeezed his way through
the jam of base ball enthusiasts who
had gathered at the park for the
opening game of the season between
Washington and Philadelphia.
Mr. Taft took an active part in
the game. Just btfore play was start
ed Umpire "Billy" Evans made his
way to the Taft box in the right wing
of the grand stand and presented the
president with a new ball. The presi
dent took tho sphere in his gloved
hand as though he were at a loss
what to do with it, until Evans told
him he was expected to throw it over
the plate whan he gave the signal. He
handed the ball to Mrs. Taft, who
weighed it carefully in her hand while
Comet Due In East Today.
(From Friday's Dailyj
Hallcy's Comet is now visible to
the naked eye today being the first
tune in seventy five years. A person
must rise long before the chickens
however to get a glimpse of it for it
is now visible about an hour and a
half before sunrise. This is at four
thirty and it appears in the eastern
sky a few degrees north of east. It
may be seen for but a few days in a
couple of weeks time it will be so nearly
in line with the sun that it cannot be
observed. It has the general appear
ance of a star at present and can hardly
be discerned by a poson not familiar
with astronomy. The cloudy morning
today disappointed a number of people
who arose early to see it.
After May 17 it will be visible in

darkness conies on.
the president was doffing his bright
new kid gloves in preparation for his
debut as a base ball pitcher.
The president watched the players
warm up and a few minutes later
shook hands with the managers, Mc-
Aleer and Alack.
When the bell rang for the beginn
ing of the game, the president shifted
uneasily in his seat, the umpire cave
the signal and the president raised his
arm. Catcher Street stood at the
home plate ready ro receive the ball,
but the president knew that the nit
chcr was the man who usually began
business operations with it, so ge threw
it straight to Pitcher Walter Johnson
The throw was a little low.but the pit
cher stuck out his long arm and grab-
led the ball before it struck the ground
The ball was never actually put into
play, as it is to be retained as a souven
ir of the occasion.
As the game progressed and Wash
ington maintained the lead it took at
the outset, the president became as
cnmusiasiic as me otners and ap
plauded tlie brilliant work of the
young Washington pitcher. He in
MHted on remaining until the last

High Scool Accredited
For the first time in the history of
Plattsmouth, the High school now
steads tn the list of accredited insti
tutions of the North Central Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. This has considerable mean
ing, for it shows that the city's knowl-
Ige factorynow ranks among the best
in the country. The application was
made several months ago by Superin
tendent Gamble and announcement
of its acceptance on the honorable
ist was received today. To be en
tered on this list, the school has to
nuiintain a very' high standing, have
good standing, certain courses of study
and foreign languages.
This new honor means quite a help
for the graduates who enter colleges
fhroughout this part of the country,
for now they arc not required to pass
the college entrance examination that
was formerly necessary. There arc,
of djursc, a few colleges in the cast
.that arc not included in the lists of
these schools, as Boston Technical
Fchool. Princeton, etc., but no cxami
nation is now required for Minnesota,
Colorado, Michigan and most of the
wostcrn schools. This new acquisi
tion of the Plattsmouth High school
is quite an honor for the city, thanks
to the efforts of the superintendent,
principal and faculty.

The civil engineer who came down
from Papillion the first of the week
to lay the stakes on Chicago avenue
ran into all kinds of difficulties. At the
west end of the avenue they found
the creek running down in the middle
of what was the original street. The
telephone poles were set in some places
nearly in the center of the road and
the street was in pretty bad condition.
Arrangements are now being made
to purchase a small strip of land from
the owners of the property adjoining
the avenue near the west end, so the
macadam may be laid the proper
width. It has not been stated whether
the land can be secured from the own
ers, but is hoped that when a perman
ent improvement to the city like this
is contemjiiatcd, the owners will not
begrudge the loss of a few feet of their
front yard for the beautifying of the
city's streets.
After establishing the grade for a
number of new walks in the city the
engineer returned to his home. He will
bo back the fiist of tho week to finish
up the surveying of the avenue as
soon as the arrangements have been
completed for the purchase of the nec
essary land.

new drainage system proposed for the
Burlington shops. He and Mr. Baird

been talked of, of straightening and
widening the creek that borders the
shops, seemed to impress the visitor
as being very feasible. An engineer
will be sent to get the topography nd
