Memorial Services Yesterday.
The annuiil Memorial services of
the Odd Fellows and the Degree of
Honor were held Sunday, each tak
ing place according to thzrogram
previously announced. The commit
tee of Odd Fellows appointed for the
purpose, visiting the cemetery where
they covered the final resting placi.8
of their departed members with ferns
and flowers, donated by different
individuals of the orders. Their re
turn was made in time to be present
at the impressive services carried
on at their hall at 10 o'clock. The
BOeakers of the day were Judge Hecson
and Judge Ramsey, each paying a
very fitting tribute to their silent
brothers who have answeree the final
summons of the naster.
The members of the A. 0. U. W.
and the Degree of Honor conduvted
their services at thceetery marching
to and from the grounds in company
with the riattsmouth cornet band.
The memorial aress was given by
S. A. MacKny who briefly but effec
tively spoke of the virtues of the or
d(Tp silent members and gnvc many
touc hmg remarks of tribute to the for
mer workers in the grand order. ,The
day w:4s one most perfect for the oc
casion and the flowers appeared in
abundance even though the backward
ness of the d-oxon made them much
more scarce than in former years.
Children's Day at Churches.
Children's Day exercises were ol
Ecrved Sunday at both the Presby
terian and Methodist churches, being
heartily appreciated by the large audi
ence in attendance at each. The ser
vices at the Presbyterian church was
held in the morning, when the little
children reigned supreme and the regu
lar sermon was dispensed with. The
well drilled little tots gave a fine pro
gram of songs and speech. In the
evening the exercises were given at
the Methodist church, the house be
ing crowded to the doors. The corps
of young folks were in charge of Mrs.
Frank Goodman, and Miss el ma
Tuey, who deserve unusual credit for
their work. The children ent creed
the church from different sides of the
building, marching in order to their
places on the platform, where they re
mained during the entire exercises,
which consisted of a fine series of musi
cal numbers and recitations. Hotli
churches were prettily decorated with
flowers and ferns, the principal decor
ation at the Methodist being a pro
fusion of asparagus ferns.
Band Boys In Runaway.
A crowd of the Plattsmouth band
boys figured in an exciting runaway
shortly before noon Sunday and to say
several of them are nursing bruises and
scratches. After the big carryall had
taken the members of the Degree of
Honor back to their residences fol
lowing the memorial services at the
cemetery, a number of the young men
climbed, in the conveyance to proceed
to their homes. Near the Adamson
place, the pole of the wagon slipped
to the ground and the team, a pair of
McMaken's grays, set up the street
at a furious gait with the musicians
scrambling out of the wagon and
dropping in heaps along the road. Be
fore the runaways had proceeded a
block, all had deserted with the cx
ceprion of Guy McMaken and the
driver William llciner who staid with
the horses until they were stopped.
Near the Kunsman home, with the
brakes set and the two men tugging
at the ribbons, the animals were fi
nally brought to a stand still in a ditch
at t he side of the road and the damaged
cd harness was repaired sufficiently
for them to proceed to the barn.
Sons of Herman Picnic.
The Sons of Herman got back to
their old time form Sunday and had
their first summer's picnic at the
pleasant farm of Mrs. Vallery out on
the Louisville road about three miles
from town. The tlireatcning clouds
with a slight sprinkle at times, kept
down the attendance to quite a large
extent but those who did attend re
ported a fine time. The picnic was
gotten up on rather short notice so
the games and amusements often con
nected with the gathering were omitted
and the time was spent enjoying the
country air and surroundings. In a
a tussle between Bantam Weight Mc
Danicl and Stubby Goos, the former's
shirt was given a rip aboutas long as
a piece of string, but aside from that,
there were no sensations at the affair.
Aged Lady Breaks Hip.
Mrs. Calvin Bradshaw, wife of the
post master at Farnum, who has been
a life long cripple, fell a day or two ago,
breaking her left hip. She is a woman
of 74 years and consequently the acci
dent is a most serious one and on ac
count of the pain the injury gives
it is necessary to keep her under the
influence of chloroform most of the
time. Mrs. Itobert Troop, sister of
the unfortunate lady, will leave for
her bcilsidc to help take care of her,
as her condition is one that requires
a great deal of attention.

first citizen, steams
up New York bay
on June 18 lie will
be met by a recep
tion cominlltee of
all the noises that
ever have been uud
some others that
are manufactured
for the occasion. A
faint suggestion of
theso acoustic disturbances would look
something as follows:
Crack! Itoom! Toot-toot! Hurray!
Has anybody here seen Teddy? Three
cheers! (Followed by three cheers
and several more.) What's the mat

boom! T-oo-o-o-t! Whoop! Wow!
Roosevelt forever! He's coming!
Y-e-e-e-h-o-o-o! BIng! Rang! Tump-e-tump-tump!
Ow-ow-ow! Hurray for
Teddy! Hoop-la! nail to the chief!
My couutry, tls Toot! Room!
Crash!
Raise this to the nth power, then
prolong It Indefinitely, and you will
have the beginning of a hint of what
will happen on this noisiest of days.
It will be a wonder. Everybody will
be In New Ycft that day either In
person or by proxy. And everybody
that Is at all vociferous will be mak
ing some kind of sounds. Most of
these sounds will be loud at least as
loud as their authors can contrive.
Tho din thereof will have New Year's
night and the Fourth of July rolled
into one and then have enough noise
left over to supply a large and busy
collection of boiler factories.
Twenty Thousand In Line.
The official program of the Roosevelt
reception In' New York catalogues the
event somewhat as follows: The en
tire reception committee, headed by
Chairman Vanderbilt, will steam down
the bay to meet the Auguste Victoria
on Saturday morning, June 18. It
will take the colonel aboard and re
turn to the Battery with all the craft
following that can possibly get In line.

has been smothered so long In the Af
rican Jungles will bring back a feeling
of mother and home.
Already there Is n dental gleam
ncross the Atlantic, and a frosh snap
ond vivacity ure In the air. Teddy Is
coming home! Get the old bass drum
down from the attic, pull the bunting
from the closet under the stairway
and take out your vocal apparafns and
dust it off. Tho Teddy bear Is once
more In fashion, tho big stick Is wav

knows no brother Is glistening In the

pedal. Throw back 'the lid. stand on
the loud one and come down on nil

better! What a relief It Is to do It In
the good old way!
Wall Street Not Celebratiat-.
What about the pessimists who pro
dieted that the colonel was certain tc
get African fever or the sleeping sick
ness and those other Wall street proph
ets who hoped that every Hon would
do4lts duty? They are all talkln?
small now. Pld they Imagine that ony
thing In Africa could withstand the
Roosevelt link? What good are Wall
street prophets anyway? Most of
them cannot even predict the future
movements of stocks and so have to
depend on a sure thing game of work
ing the lambs for commissions. "A
prophet Is not without honor save In
his own country" was not spoken o
the Wall street brand of soothsayer
He Is without honor anywhere under
the sun.
Wall street Is not celebrating1 the re
turn of the colonel. That Is one rea
son why the rest of the country Is
celebrating. Possibly the bulls and
bears fear that Roosevelt Is coming
back to start another hunt In the flnan
clal Jungle. On the way to Khartum
he dropped one significant remark to
the effect that he had harder work
ahead than that done in Afiiea. Just
what Is Mint harder work to be? Not
writing ,iiVnt1y. for he finished his
African book before his return to civ
ilization. Possibly the blir trust game
has reason for being apprehensive,
nigh financiers are timid about every
thing except tnklng other people's
money, and the mere shine of the
them the shivers.
What will be do after his return'1
That Is a question the answer of which
Is fraught with some moment to tins
country. Certain gentlemen of the
press and of the conservation move
ment, popularly known as the "return
from Elba" crowd, believe he will
be a candidate for president in Y.H2
Certain othr gentlemen of the press
and of otllclal station, known of all
men as friends of the administration,
are Just as certain that he will get be
hind Taft. A man of the name of
nerron George D. Herrou expatriat
ed as I recall because of certain mat
rimonial complications, thinks Roose
velt will become not only president, but
virtual emperor, that he will end the
republic and that he will be the begin
ning of "the new dark ages." Thus
the thing Is seen to be not without
an clement of the fantastic, especially
when denlt with by n fantastic mind
It Is perhaps as well to keep ourselves
within the liounds of sanity when deal
ing with Roosevelt or with other things.
Will Go to Cheyenne.
As to whether ho will or will not be
come a presidential candidate he alone
can answer. Of only two things are
we sure that Jie will have the great
est reception ever given an American
citizen on his homecoming and that
he will go to Cheyenne In August and
presumably will greet certain bevies
and swarms of delighted citizens on
tho way end back. This much will
come of the suggestion of a western
editor that the colonel return by way
of San Francisco and tear up the vocal
apparatus of the country on his way
east. That he could not do because it
would bring him home too late for his
sou's wedding. But ho yielded to the
suggestion to the extent of taking n
later round trip to Cheyenne. Be
yond these meager details -it Is given
out that he will lecture, write books
and help to edit the Outlook What
else the future holds for him and for
us the American people and Theodore
Roosevelt himself nlone can tell.
Certain it Is that he will have plenty
to do after he Informs himself of what
has taken place during his fifteen
months' absence, and whatever he
does it will keep the country on tho
Jump. It is Impossible that his per
ennial energies should be bottled.
They will find an outlet, and a political
outlet at that. Of late tho advices
have linked his name with an ambi
tious tour of twenty-four states, with
an address nt one big mass meeting in
each. This tour Is to be made In con
nection with the Cheyenne trip, and
the fortunate commonwealths Included

has a touch that Is too good to he lost.
It recounts how a young Englishman
came down to the wharf In Egypt to
see the former president, ne gazed
long and earnestly at that picture of
