HURRAH MR THE
FOURTH OF JULY!!
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. This
Is swift Justice all in three weeks-
commit the crime, are arrested, tried
and safely landed in the penitentiary,

A New Burning House.
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.
Charles House) of Chicago and Miss
Fannie Spencewere united in the holy
bonds of wedlock, at the home of the
bride's parents in Louisville. Wednes
day, May 25, l!K)4. We understand the

ing for the event by the erection of a
neat little cottage In Louisville.wbere
they will makethelrfuture home. The
bride Is one of Louisville's accom
plished young ladies, while the irroom
lias the appearance of being a genuine
gentleman. The Journal ex tends con
gratulations, and trusts that the hannv
couple will find smooth sailing down
the stream of Time.

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.
