Arrangements for One of the Grandest Celebrations in the History of Cass County. MANAGED BY THE EAGLE SOCIETY Which Is a Guarantee that Plaitsmoutb Will Hate a Big Time! It bus been several years since Platts mouth has held a Fourth of July cele bration, and this year they will have one that will excel" anything of the kind ever held in Cass county. For several days the question has been ex- extensively agitated, and now that the matter has fell Into the hands of the local lodge of Eagles, we may all look out for something grand on the great natal clay. A sufficient sism'nf money has been subscribed already to Insure a grand success of the undertaking. Four hun dred dollars has thus far been sub scribed, and more coming. When Plattsmouth once awakens up there is nothing too good or great for her citi zens to undertake, and this Is one rea son why everybody will arrange tocome here to celebrate they know they will be well entertained. Invitations will be extended to the Eagle lodges of Omaha, Lincoln, Coun cil BluiTs and Nebraska City. In fact all bulges within a radius of o.ie hun dred miles will lie invited to partici pate. As yet the various committees have not been assigned, but as soon as they are, they will all work to but one end that of the grandest celebrat ion to be held in Southeast Nebraska on the Fourth of July, 1:iii4. Lart;e bills will soon be sent out giv ing full particulars of the attractions, for both day and night. Nothing will be left undone that will add to the pleasure of the large crowd that Issure to lie here, District Court. Court convened Monday. The Lindsey case has occupied the principal part of the week. This is a matter wherein the foreign relatives of Thomas Linsey, deceased, had brought suit for a division of the prop erty. The deceased was for twenty six years was both blind and insane, and was taken care of by his brother, W imam, who now asks pay for his trouble. The circumstances are such that the sympathy of those who know them are with William, and believe that he should be well paid for the care of his unfortunate brother. It seems that these foreign relatives were advised that he left several thousand dollars worth of property, they bring suit for their share. To otr-set their claims the suit is brought to recompense William Lindsey for his care and trouble. And it looks reasonable that he should be paid. The decision in the matter will be watched for with considerable in terest. Is It An Elopement? A report is prevalent in this city to the effect that Mrs. G. E. Mills, wife of a farmer living near Union, departed rather mysteriously last Tuesday on the Missouri Tad tic noon train. No one was advised of her des' tination, not even her home folks.. It is said the lady was joined by one Frank Freeman at Elmwood, who boarded the tram at that place. The matter was reported to the county au thorities and the incident, it seems, has created quite a commotion in the community, where both are well known, and leaves the appearance of an elopement. Freeman Is said to be a bachelor of about forty years of age, and old enough to know the conse quences of such an escapade. Sentenced to the Penitentiary. Frank Labowe and Frank Smith, the two men who burglarized Tool's hardware store In Murdock on the night of May 0. pleaded guilty yester day and were sentenced by Judge Jcs sen to the penitentiary for a term of one year each. Some of the stolen property was found on their persons. A light sentence was recommended by both County Attorney Root and S. M. Chapman, the latter appearing for the prisoners. The property stolen con sisted of three revolvers, a dozen ra zors and about the same number of pocket knives. One of the prisoners was captured at Missouri Valley and the other at Sioux City, Iowa.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Jour nal appears the last financial state ment f.r the Plattsmouth Savings bank, under that name. The bank w ill be re-organized and regularly in corporated under the stale laws of Nebraska, under the name of the Plattsmouth State I'.auk. Articles of incorporation to this effect were tiled Tuesday. The officers of the new in stitution are as follows: Y. II. New ell, president; T. E Paruiele, vice president: J. M. Roberts, cashier; C. P. Atwood, assistant cashier. Direc tors: John Albert, S. II. Atwood, T. E. Parmele, C. P. Atwood, .1. M. Rob erts and J. P. Falter. The capital stock is .hI,iiiio. The place of business will be the same as that occupied by the Plattsmoiitli Savings Rank, the business of which institution will be merged into that of the new bank. Under the new organization the Plattsuiouth state Rank becomes one of the most solid banking institutions of southeast Nebraska, and the Jour nal is pleased to note that the man agement will still lie under the genial supervision of .1. M. Roberts, who is a most clever gentleman, possessing all the requirements necessary to conduct a successful banking business. Is This Proper? At the recent meetingof the county commissioners that body came to the conclusion to no longer pay the expense incurred by Sheriff McRrlde in tele phoning to various towns In his efforts to capture criminals. Of course this Illustrious body has a right to do this, but why they do so is not given to the public perhaps antipathy to the sheriff maybe an economical stroke on the part of the commissioners. If they expect Sheriff MeBride to pay this expense out of his own pocket, they are evidently a queer set to do business for the people. How do they expect the sheriff to notify other out side authorities of escaping criminals as soon as possible after a burglary is committed, a horse stolen or some one murdered? If such an order as this was made, why was it not placed in the regular proceedings and given to the public through the newspapers of the county, and also their reasons for so doing, instead of telling o.ie county official to apprise Mr. McRrlde of their action In the matter. The people have a right to know their excuse for so do ing, simple as it may seem. Married at Louisville.

One day 1 naw n vulture nailing thu. says Ernest Harold Huyues in the Ronton Herald, ami I carefully marked his flight until he dcNccmlcd from thr white cIouiIh and disappeared near the edge of n distant wood. Supposing that he had come down to feed on home carrion n dead horse perhaps, which had been drained Just outside of I he woods and lei't-1 made the best of my way to the spot where 1 lost sluht of the bird, that 1 might be a witness to till! feast. I arrived at the wood, but neither bird nor carcass could I nee. Then I betlmUKht mo that this was the month of May, and that perhaps the Imz.anl had u not thereabout. 1 hunted un der the hushes, along the side of fallen trees nnd in some old Mumps which were standing near, but not a feather WHS to be seen. Presently 1 spied a log which lay somewhat apart in the shallow nf some shruli.s. and as I :ilro:n lifif It out from somewhere came a Hg turkey hUK'.ard, whli h ijuieUly disappeared In-hind the trees. Un coining up to the log, which was a largi' one, 1 found that it was hollow, and In the cavity there were two eggs, which doiiblless belonged to the vulture which had .lust departed. They Were iviusiderably lar ger than the eggs of a domestic ben, and In color they were dirty white. heavily spotted with elu late brown. I left them that I might have an op portunity to study the young. The next time 1 visited the hollow log the parent birds were lint hi sight, but in the nest I found two downy fledgelings, which could scarcely he called pretty. They were hi every way less attractive than young hawks of the same age. They expressed their disapproval of my presence by n weak growling sound. 1 could not visit the spot again for Home weeks, and when I did one of them had disappeared. The other was no longer in the hollow log, but stand ing nt n little distance, and I was In terested to see the change In Ids ap pearance. In the first place, he had grown tremendously; the down which had formerly covered the whole body wns now conllned chiefly to the head, neck nnd under parts, and the rest of the bird waa clothed with flrmjilnck feathers. He looked fat and wolf fed. I reached out my hand nnd caught him by one wing. Rut here ho hud n surprise for me, for lie seized my fin ger In his hooked bill and with a turn of his head twisted off a bit of the flesh before I had time even to object. After hurriedly cleansing the wound I again advanced on the enemy, who was game enough to satisfy nny one nnd came to the attack with open bill. Of course be was not dangerous In the least, for be was very young nnd could not even fly, but for a fledgeling the grip he could give with his bill wns astonishing. However, I picked him tip, took him home and tethered lilni in the garden with a strap to one leg. The first night he ate n good meal of liver, nnd nfter that he took almost any kind of incut that wns given him. I let him have carrion whenever It was convenient, but nt other times lie nte freshly killed frogs, fresh beef, opossum nnd even fish. One night soon after I had brought hhn home I went out to see how he looked when he wns nsleep. It wns so dark that his black plumage wns not visible against the grass. All I could see of him was n white spot, his head, as it hung near the ground. I nppronclied very quietly nnd was within five feet when something hap pened. Out of the darkness there cnnie n flash of white straight toward me with n speed which caused me to step quickly backward, nnd nt the sniiio in stant there was a startling, rustling sound, accompanied by n guttural growl, which for a moment I did not recognize as the voice of the young vulture. Altogether it was a most Btnrtllng phenomenon, nnd, although I realized in a moment that the bird wns In some way the cause of It, I do not know even yet Just what happened. This much I know, however, that the bird rushed nt me, growling with nil his might, nnd that the flash of white wns the. white down of the liody uncovered by the opening of the black wings. The rushing sound was, 1 think, caused in some way by the wing feath ers or tall feathers, or both, but wheth er by dragging them nlotig the ground or otherwise I cannot tell. I tried on several occasions to find this out by Ap proaching tho young vulture when there wns Just light enough for inc to see what happened, but he would never act in Just the same way unless It wns quite dark. No doubt this Is sonic provision of nature to protect the bird when It Is young nnd helpless, nnd I enn testify thnt It Is n good one, for I nm sure that few night prowling nuluials would core to pursue their Investigations after be ing given so stnrtllng a reception.
