ARRANGING FOR
DECORATION DAY
The Old Veterans Will Observe the
Day in the Usual Manner.
McConihie Post No. 45, of this city
as usual, are preparing to observe
Decoration day in a becoming manner,
and the various committees have been
selected to look after the arrangements.
This, of all annual events, is the one
that should be observed by not only the
old veterans, but by everyone who
reveres the memory of those who served
their country faithfully in its darkest
days, many of whom now sleep their
last sleep in the silent city of the dead.
Every order in the city should arrange
to take part in the exercises. In many
cities this is made a bigger day than
the Fourth of July, and as the brave
boys who served their country so faith
fully, are rapidly passing over the
Great Beyond, it will not be many years
until others will have to take charge of
these decoration services. '
We hope the time will never come,
even when the last of the civil war sur
vivors are gone, that those who respect
and love the old flag will fail to take
charge of these services.
The local post extends to all the local
lodges an invitation to participate in
the exercises, and, as the old veterans
are not very numerous, it is to be hoped
these societies will favor the old boys
by taking part in the decoration services,
The members of the post desire that
the teachers of the city schools impress
upon the minds of the pupils the neces
sity of getting ready to furnish what
flowers they can for this occasion.
A program is being prepared for the
exercises, which will be published in
these columns later.
THEY WIN OUT IN
SOUTH OMAHA
The Independent Telephone
With Get Into Pack
ing City
According to the World-Herald the
Independent telephone franchise scored
a sweeping victory in yesterday's elect
ion. The franchise carried by a vote of
12 to 1. The court house bonds also
carried by a large majority.
The election was a quiet one. The
little semblance of a real election was
made by the followers of the Independ
ent proposition. The boosters for the
new telephone system were much in
evidence all day, While the vote was
comparatively light it was heavier than
expected. A total of 1,692 votes were
polled on the telephone question.
The total vote polled on the court
house proposition was 1,516.
Officials of the Independent company
stated last evening that engineers
would be on the ground at once to cal
culate the system of wiring. Alleys
and underground conduits will be used
entirely for the new system. As soon
as the wiring system has been completed
in blue print form the site for the new
building will be chosen and purchased.

SPANISH WAR
VETS TO MEET
They Will Meet in Lincoln on
Thursday, June 4
A Lincoln correspondent says: It
has been decided to hold a reunion of
Spanish war veterans in Lincoln on
Thursday, June 4. While this is pri
marily to get together the members of
the First, Second and Third Nebraska
regiments, the invitation is extend
ed to all soldiers of the Spanish
war.
The committee consists of Gener
al P. H. Barry, chairman, Colonel J.
H. Phelps, secretary, and Captain P.
J. Cosgrove.
The plans of the committee contem
plate that during the afternoon of the
reunion day each regiment will meet
separately in a campfire for which
speakers and other entertainment will
be arranged by the committee, and in
the evening at 7 o'clock all will partici
pate in a banquet, at which Governor
Sheldon, Colonel Bryan and others will
speak.
It is ten years since the calling out
of the Nebraska regiments, the mem
bers of which have been slow to take
any steps toward reunions, or the or
ganization of soldiers' societies among
themselves, but since the plan was an
nounced a few days ago, there have
been many inquires as to details, and
the committee confidently expects the
affair to be a success.
A camp of the National society of the
Philhppines has existed in Lincoln for

steps are now being taken to organize
a camp of the same society in Lin
coln. ARE NOW AT
LONG BEACH
Nebraskans in the Golden State Greet
the Governor's Party.
Los Angeles, May 2, 1908.
My Dear Colonel :
Today our party visited Long Beach
and for the first time yours truly cast
his eyes on Mother Pacific.
The day has been windy and rainy,
being the first day of this kind we have
encountered on our trip.
Long Beach is beautifully located
along the beach and has 20,000 inhabi
tants. It has one of the most elaborate
hotels in this country. In fact the en
tire town appears to me to be a plea
sure resort. You can spend all the
money here you wish, but you get your
money's worth. We were entertained
in the auditorium which abuts on the
ocean and all Nebraskans made a special
effort to see that we did not lack for
anything to make our visit a pleasant
and memorable one.
The Plattsmouth portion of the
governor's party were looked after by
oar old Plattsmouth friends: George F.
Houseworth, wife and daughter Ruth;
Capt. L. D. Bennett and wife, Mr. and
Mrs. M. B. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. A.
C. Helps, Mrs. Morgan Waybright, Miss
Grace Mann, Mrs. D. M. Styles, Mrs.
Ella Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B.
Murphy and son, Paul, Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Elsori, Mrs. Asher Clark, Mr. and
Mrs. James Patterson, Mrs. Emma
Van Cleave, and W. D. Hesser and
daughter, Inez. Owing to the weather
we could not see as much of the place
as we would like, but we were royally
entertained and had a delightful visit
with our old Plattsmouth people, which
was the grandest treat of all you per
haps know what a pleasure it is too
meet an old friend in a strange country.
Our entertainment was as follows:
Presiding officer, Judge W. H. Norris.
Address of welcome by mayor.
Song by male quartett.
Speeches by divers residents of Long
Branch, (former Nebraskans.)
Song by female quartett, who sang
several selections, one of which wes
"Nebraska" to the tune of "Dixie."
Address by Senator McKessen of our
party, followed by Governor Sheldon.
Adjourned to lunch baskets.
Say, do not tell this, but while I was
out on the pier today about one-fourth
mile from shore the wind blew my hat
into the ocean and the last I saw of it,
it was toward Honolula on top of a
wave about as high as the court house
and 17,000 miles long I suppose.
Tell Tom I called on Clarence English,
who fights Memsic Tuesday next at
this place was with him for two hours
and saw him go through his training
stunts. He is in good condition and
will give a good account cf himself.
Tomorrow we visit Cataline Island,
about 25 miles out from shore.

his feet either. While J. I. was in the
