BUGGLED UP LEGISLATION
"My Horse for a Man" Who Can Inter
pret Some cf the Laws.
Durnik' the rereiit investiat um in
to the legislative history of the Jim
kin anti-1 rust iaw.it was fiic"eiel
that several minor amendments to tlie
hill had not heen adopted regularly,
says tin? Lincoln News. It is l.elieved
that the interests opposed to the
measure wished to make sure that the
hill would he held invalid in the su
preme court and sought another safe
guard in addition to the discrimina
tory rider exempting rail ways and Ne
braska corporations from the opera
tions of the bill. The lawyers who
have investigated the matter believe
that the statute will stand, notwith
standing the efforts to defeat it in
that insidious manner. It is claimed
that the apparent discrimination be
tween various corporations is not of
such a nature that it can be availed of,
and it is also contended that the other
minor amendments which make the
legislative history of the bill uncertain
will not have the effect intended. It
is now pretty generally believed that
the members of the trust lobby, realiz
ing the popularity of anti-trust legisla
tion and the impossibility of staving
it off in a direct contest, s -light by the
use of underhanded means to make
the statut1.' innocuous. It is pointed
out that a similar method was em
ployed two years ao to make the
Ramsey elevator statute inoperative.
In this connection there is consider
able sentiment amony oilicials who are
interested in legislation to secure
changes made in the personnel of the
enrolling and engrossing room force in
the next legislature. It is pointed out
that with a lot cf inexperienced and
careless clerks it is an easy matter for
mistakes to go through inadvertently
with the result of invalidating legisla
tion. Several such blunders in the
recent legislature have come within
an ace of discrediting various
measures. An error of that character
occurs in the bill regulating the speed
cf autox.obiles. Through a blunder
of the enrolling clerk the bill reads
'tracks and engines." where the
printed copy read "traction engines."
Some illiterate clerk made the blunder.
Its effect n the validity of the law is
still in question.
In addition to the dangers due of
such errors it is pointed out that they
fill the statutes with mistakes of vary
ing gravity necessitating explanatory
notes by the editors of the laws. To
avoid this trouble in the future there
is a movement on foot to secure the
selection of competent persons to work
on these committees.
Eclipse of the Sun.
The next eclipse will be that of the
sun on the morning of August 30. It
will begin before sunrise the sun ris
ing at 5:24 solar time and end about
f:?0 in the morning. Those of us who
rise early enough to see the sun come
up that morning, if the sky is clear,
and a smoked glass is used, will see
disc w ith a considerable piece taken
out of its side. Of course the older
people only w ill be able to see this one
because the hour at which it occurs is
entirely to early for the average
Fiattsmouth yirl or boy. They prefer
an elipse of the moon.

The Misses Dovey Entertained. j
1 The following ;is taken from the I
j Sunday's issue of the Lincoln Journal: I
; "The Misses lone and Helen Dovey of j
I'lattsmouth have spent a week in the
I city as guests of Miss (Jratia (Jreenj
j and Miss ii ibbette Weil. n Wednes-
I (lay Miss Weil gave a pretty luncheon
j in their honor at her home on South
Seventeenth street. Twenty girls
were seated around a big table with a
color scheme of yellow. After the
luncheon the uirls played hearts and
the pri.e was awarded to Miss lone
Dovey. Thursday evening Mrs. Carl
Weil cave a picnic supper at the state
farm for the visitors which was to
have been followed by a trolley party.
The latter feature was omitted, how
ever, on account of the storm. Friday
morning Mrs. XV. II. Raymond gave a
swimming party at the sanitarium
followed by a luncheon for her niece,
Miss Virginia Rogers of Minden, and
the Misses Dovey. Fifteen, young
girls were invited. Last night Miss
Gratia Green gave a dinner at the
Country club for the young ladies from
out of town. Covers were laid for
twelve girls. The Misses Dovey will
probably return to I'lattsmouth to
nitrht." Melon Thieves.
Some depredators got into Mr. Iloly
oke's melon patch Saturday night be
fore the moon arose. It seems the
family were not at home but Charley
Martin, who lives nearby got onto
their maneuvers and run them out.
They had rilled one large sack and
were making away with it by running
through Mr. Martin's yard where they
were compelled to deposit all they had
secured. The melons were not ripe,
and it is a shame to have them plucked
from the vines. The boys evidently
intended to go into the wholesale busi
ness. The next time they make their
appearance they will tret a somewhat
warmer reception.
Entertained by Miss Coleman.
Miss Clara Coleman entertained at
cards Saturday evening in honor of her
guests. Misses Ilortense Eads, Florence
Fennington and Eva Denson, of Oma
ha. It was a most successful affair
from beginning to end. The home
was prettily and tastily decorated and
the guests were all shown a delightful
time.
The evening was spent principally t
in playing cards, after which ice cream
and cake were served. Miss Florence
Dovev won the first prize, a handsome
cut glass dish, and Miss Minnie Guth
man the second, a pretty fan. Among
the gentlemen Messrs. Emmons.
Richey and Sam McCallen won first
and second prizes.
Those present were as follows: Misses
Ilortense Eads, Florence Fennington
and Eva Denson, of Omaha: Blanch
Sullivan, Loretto Scotten, Eva Fox,
Florence Dovey, Helen Cox, Lena
Fricke, Lillian Cole, Edna Marshall
and Minnie Guthman: Mr. and Mrs.

and Mrs. M. E. Coleman; Messrs. Gail
Hamill, Ralph Towl and Eugene Rose
of Omaha, Emmons Richey, George
Weidman, Will Ramsey, Ed Crites,
Sam McCallen, Fritz Iricke, Tom
Murphy, Henry Guthman, Emil Wey
rich, Roy Fepperberg. Several others
were invited who, unfortunately, were
unable to be present.
Money for Nebraska Soldiers.
A Lincoln special to the Omaha Bee
says: "Governor Mickey has received
a draft from the general government
for 8S012.S3 for the members of the
Nebraska regiments which took part
in the Spanish-American war. The
basis on which the money is to be dis
tributed is not known to the governor,
but it is stated that the Washington
attorneys who had charge of the claims
will forward a list of the names as cer
tified by the war department. The
draft was placed in the First National
bank subject to thegovernor'scheck."
We are not advised as to how much of
this money comes to Cass county, or
whether any.
Would -Not Speak-
D. W. Foster, of Union, president of
the Old Settlers' association of Cass
and adjoining counties, was in the
city Monday on his way to Minneap
olis on a visiting and outing trip of a
week.
Mr. Foster says the old settlers of
Cass and vicinity are trying to get
hold of Senator Burkett's definition
of "vaudeville."
The association had its seventeenth
annual reunion and picnic at Union
last Friday and Saturday. n Friday
there was a joint debate between
County Attorney C. A. Rawies and II.
D. Travis on the merits of the jury
system. On Saturday Senator Burkett
was expected to be the draw ing card,
lie was present and the general at
tendance was about o, 000. There were
some humorous recitations by Mr. and
Mrs. Ritchie of Omaha and then the
program called for Senator Burkett,
but he informed the committee that
he had decided not to speak. He said
he would not speak at a vaudeville
show.
This surprised the committee and
the people down there are stifl won
dering what he meant.
The senator's place was taken by
State Senator Sheldon of Nehawka,
who gave a sketch of the history of
Nebraska. World- Herald.
THE OLD SETTLERS' REUNION
An Immense Attendance on Saturday, and
the Day an Ideal One for the Event.
The annual reunion of the old set
tlers of Cass county for 1 !).", has come
and gone, and to say that it was a suc
cess but half expresses it. The rain of
Thursday night had made the roads
very bad, in consequence of w hich the
crowd on Friday was not as large as it
would otherwise have been. However
it was very respectable as to numbers,
and in the afternoon the regular pro
gram was carried out.
On Saturday morning Old Sol came
up witli a countenance that beamed
w ith delight, and it seemed as if every
body had made preparation to attend
in case the day proved propitious.
Nearly all of the farmers south of
Fiattsmouth went to Fnion. This
seemed apparent here in this city from
the fact that the usual large Saturday
crowd was not here. And then at
least one hundred and lifty went down
from this city and immediate vicinity
especially all that could possibly get
away. A Journal reporter was among
the throng, and by the time the
Fiattsmouth delegation arrived on the
grounds the grove seemed to be one
solid mass of moving humanity.
On the first day Judge Travis and
County Attorney Rawls discussed the
jury system, which was a them highly
enjoyed by the old pioneers, who are
very much interested in such matters.
Both sides of the question was able
presented. The Ritches were present
to amuse the people, and it is said
they done it in a first-class manner,
too. The crowd on Friday, some say,
was larger thisyear than on the lirst
day last year.
The program, on Saturday was car
ried out fully until it came to the
speech of Senator Burkett, and the
audience seemed too much interested
in the amusements that the Ritches
afforded, and they occupied too much
of the Senator's time and lie only
spoke about rive minutes. He did not
like this kind of treatment, and it
could be easily seen that lie did not
like such treatment. Evidently the
old settlers preferred to listen to the
Ritches than to hear Burkett's usual
harangue. From the countenance of
I the Senator as he appeared upon the
platform he thought so to. He did
pot like the treatment accorded him,
and he so expressed himself to many
who were there. The people general
ly go to such celebrations for amuse
ment and not to listen to such speeches
as Burkett generally delivers. Conse
quently they preferred the Ritchie
vaudiville exercises to a stump speech
from the "Great I Am" from Lincoln.
Saturday was the biggest day, many
say, that the people of Union ever ex
perienced, and the reunion committees
left nothing undone to make every
body feel at home. The old settlers,
or rather the pioneers missed one old
familar face from their group this
year and that was L. G. Todd, w ho, on
account of the injuries received in a
runaway several weeks ago was unable
to mingle with them. Many however,
called on the old gentleman at his
home and their visit was highly ap
preciated by Mr. Todd.
The exhibition given by members of
the Turnverein of this city was most
highly appreciated, and after the pro
gram on the grounds and the assem
blage was dispersed, by request of the
business men of Union their exhibition
was repeated in the town. The boys
returned home well pleased with the
reception given them, and we know
that every one was just as well pleas
ed with their exhibition. The follow
ing are the names of the team that de
ghted the audience: Otto Wurl,
Ernest Wurl, Walter Falmer, Charles
and John Wilkins.
The crowd present on Saturday was
variously estimated from 5,000 to 8,000
and the citizens of Union did them
selves proud in entertaining such a
mass of people. These reunions are
becoming more popular each succeed
ing year, simply because those who at
attend expect a grand, good time and
they have neveryet been disappointed.
The amusements were abundant,
and the Union band furnished inspir
ing music, which added much to the
success of the 190." reunion.
