deviation and retracing their course a
short distance, they succeeded in over
coming this difficulty and suffered but

turning this afternoon.
Two Cars Derailed.
While switching out a few cars this
morning, train No. 81 derailed two cars
of coal at the west end of the yards,
blocking the east bouud main line and
delaying traffic for about thirty min
utes. The cars were steel cars of one
hundred thousand pounds capacity, and
buried themselves in the dirt, making
them exceedingly hard to pick up. The
track was not badly torn up, there be
ing but one rail broken and only a few
ties destroyed. It was necessary to
have No. 6 back up to the cross-over
between the east and west-bound main
lines, coming down to the depot over
the latter, and delaying it about ten
m'nutes. A defective flange on one of
the cars did the damage.
Enjoyed a Fine Time.
Postmaster C. H. Smith returned yes
terday from the annual meeting of the
postmasters of the state at Lincoln. He
reports having a fine, large time with a
big attendance and much interest mani
fested in the work of the association.
He says that one of the pleasantest
features of the meeting was the address
of Col. W. J. Bryan. While it was a
non-partisan address and did not allude
in any manner to the possible candidacy
of Mr. Bryan, it greatly strengthened
him with the members of the organiza
tion, and Postmaster Smith was enthus
iastic over it. He says Col. Bryan won
a great place in the affections of the
members present. The next meeting
of the association will be held at Lin
coln, the members liking their treat
ment while there this time so well that
no competition existed.
Death of William Russell.
As foreshadowed in the Journal of
last evening, William Russell, the pop
ular Burlington bridge foreman, died
last night at his home at Ashland, the
end coming at 9:23. The best of medi
cal attention was given the stricken
man and every effort put forth to save
his life but in vain.
Mr. Russell was one of the most pop
ular employes on the Burlington sys
tem, having an extensive acquaintance
on virtually all it's lines. His demise
will be greatly regretted by everyone
who knew him and their profound sym
pathy goes out to his bereaved family.
He was a brother-in-law of G. M. and
Robert Patton of this city, who, with
their families, will go to Ashland to
morrow morning for the funeral ob
sequies which will take p lace from the
family residence at 2 o'clock p. m.
A Week of Accidents.
Mrs. Barbara Taylor met with a very
painful injury last Sunday afternoon,
resulting the fracture of a bone just
above the left wrist. At the time of
the accident she was standing upon a
chair in order to reach a fan that - was
near the ceiling, when the chair over
turned throwing her to the floor with
the result above stated. A physician
was called to reduce the fracture and
no permanent disability will follow this
peculiar accident.
Frank Finkle's son Johnnie, 8 years
of age, was brought to town Monday
for medical attention, the result of fall
ing while running. It was found that
a bone of the left arm was fractured,
the injury being at the elbow joint.
The wound was dressed and it is thought
than in due time the lad's arm will be as
good as new.
Charles Engell is the third unfortun
ate victim, his accident occurred about
noon Tuesday. He was working about
the machinery in the feed mill and al
low'ed his right hand to come in contact
with the cogs of the shelter, and in an
instant the hand was mashed and flesh
badly torn, but luckly there was but
little injury to the fingers, the wound
being on the back part of the hand.
The hand willl be out of use for some
time, and Charley may consider him
self lucky that he did not lose his whole
hand Union Ledger.
A FAIR OUT
LOOK FOR GRAIN
Commissioner Ryder Figures That
Way at the Present
The Lincoln News of yesterday con
tains the following in reference to the
crops in Nebraska: "We are undoubt
edly going to have a pretty fair crop of
grain this year," said Labor Commis
sioner Ryder, "but it will not begin to
be what it ought to be. And I haven't
in mind merely the damage done here
and there by excessive rains and wind
storms. We still have a great deal of
extensive farming, as opposed to inten
sive farming. On a trip through some
parts of Chase county recently I found
many a man farming 200 acres single
handed, and several instances of father
and son attempting to farm 400 acres
In each case about one hundred acres
was corn land, which would mean very
strenuous work for one man to care for
properly. But even with this half farm
ing, as they admit themselves that it is.
the farmers out there are steadily get
ting rich. Think of corn land selling
for $12.50 to $15 an acre! Why, when
some settlers go in there with the idea
of intensive farming that land will take
a jump that can hardly be measured.
"I found cane seed in big demand
around Imperial and Lamar, in Chase
county, at $1.50 to $1.75 a bushel, and
alfalfa seed scarce at $9 a bushel. They
raise good alfalfa and they get forty
bushels to the acre of cane seed, which
crop also provides most excellent fod
der, if cut green. They let it grow to
about the height of wheat if going to
use it for fodder, then go in and cut
and bind it the same as wheat. Speltz
is also a good paying crop in that sec
tion and in many ways western Nebras
ka is making good so strongly as to
surprise those who have considered that
section as secondary. In five years
more that idea will have entirely dis
appeared in the realization of the fact
that the western part of the state is
happy, properous, and getting enough
rainfall every year to insure satisfying
crops. There is surely the place for
the man with a smail amount of money
who wants to open a farm and get a
crop the first year that will be a big
boost toward independence. The settlers
who stuck through the bad years are all
rich, and I make that statement with
out qualificatson. "
MOST SUCCESSFUL
ENTERTANMEriT
St. Mary's Guild Acquitted Themselves
With Great Praise Last Night
The entertainment given at the pala
tial home of the Gering's last evening,
by the members of St. Mary's Guild,
was one of the most successful and de
lightful entertainments ever given in
the city. The very superior excellence
of the program, coupled with the
magnificently appointed place of its
rendition, rendered so absolute an as
surrance of enjoyment that a large
crowd was certain. The parlors of the
Gering home was crowded and nothing
but the highest praise can be heard
for the hostesses and those managing
the entertainment. A very neat sum
was realized for the Guild.
Of the program itself, it is very hard
to select any particular number as su
perior, as all were excellent and met
with very gracious reception from the
large crowd. The opening number, an
instrumental selection by Miss Kittie
Cummins, was rendered with all that
artistic grace which has made Miss
Cummins recognized as a most finished
pianist, and too much cannot be said of
its merits.
Owing to a very severe cold and
hoarseness, Miss Vallery was compelled
to omit her solo, which had been in
tended as the second number, and the
disappointment of the audience was
very deep, as her selection had been
looked forward to with much anticipa
tion. The following number, "Jesus, Angel
of Light," by Shelley, a duet by Mrs.
Morgan and Mrs. H. E. Wescott was
splendidly given and enthusiastically re
ceived. One of the most effective numbers
on the program followed, being Mrs
Anna Bitt's solo "Sunrise." Mrs.
Britt was in splendid voice and the
selection itself lent to the success as it
is a pretty piece of music.
The reading selection of Miss Mildred
Cummins was one of the pleasant
features of the evening. It was a
selection of humor which caught the
audience's fancy and was a distinct hit.
Miss Lucile Bates made one of the
evening's successes in the charming
ballad "Time's Garden," despite the
fact that she was really ill and unable
to do herself complete justice. Her
very fine voice, however, did not De
tray her feeling's and the audience
manifested its evident enjoyment most
vigorously.
The brilliant sextette from "Lucia"
was the instrument, chosen by Miss
Claire Dovey to charm her audience, and
at her hands it was most effective and
aroused the audience to great enthusiasm.
Mrs. Austin's imitation of Vesta
Victoria in coster sorgs was also a
feature of the evening, calling forth
well merited praise and a vigorous en
core. She gave as the number "Wait
ing at the church" and the answer "I
Told 'is Missi3 All About It" us the en
core. Miss Marie Douglas gave the love
affairs of "Peggy Pennington" in such
an inimitable style and so natural that
the audience was captivated and voted
her one of the evening's pronounced
successes.
Miss Edith Martin rendered "A Hose
Fable" with so much effect that she
was compelled to respond with "Four
Leaf Clover',' as an encore, in both of
which she was distinctly at her best,
and earned a high place as a singer of
expectional merit.
The bass solos of Mr. II. S. Austin
closed a program of great excellence,
he rendering Lohr's "Out on the Deep"
in magnificent voice, eliciting so much
applause that he was compelled to res
sond with "Lucky Jim" as an encore.
His evident versatility took with the
audience and he was again called on and
responded with Petrie's "Song of the
Angry Deep." To Mr. Austin much
credit is due for the successful enter
tainment and his efforts added to those
of the Misses Gering made everyone
feel that nothing had been left undone
to provide a good time.
Sent to The Poor Farm
The insanity commission, composed
of District Clerk Robertson, Dr. E. W.
Cook and Attorney D. O. Dwyer, this
morning heard the complaint of C. A.
Ralston, constable at Weeping Water,
charging Ezra Cvalt with insanity, and
made an order that Cvalt be sent to the
county farm, as he was incapacitated
for work by reason of epilepsy. He
was found not insane, his trouble being
due entirely to his malady. The case
excited much sympathy in the board.
Sheriff Quinton took Cvalt to the farm
today.
A True Opening
The new Majestic moving picture
show in the Leonard building between
Fifth and Sixth streets on Main, open
ed last evening to several large and
well pleased audiences. For the open
ing bill an unusually fine selection of
pictures was offered, covering a num
ber of different subjects, the spectacu
lar picture of "The Rajah's Casket"be
ing an unusually fine one. The picture
of "Hia, First Ride" provoked a con
stant roar of laughter from the audience
and made a hit. One of the sterling
attractions of the theatre is the illust
rated songs rendered by Mrs. Mae Mor
gan, they alone being of a grade cal
culated to fill the house with patrons
Get a Special Train.
Arrangements have been completed
by which those who come in from Cedar
Creek and Louisville to attend the
monster celebration next Saturday can
return home at 10 o'clock at night, the
Burlington running a special train as
far as Louisville, leaving here at this
hour. This insures a monster crowd at
this time.

The Busy Season Prevents Many Woodmen
From City and Adjacent Country Attending.
The Plattsmouth contingent to the
great M. W. A. Log Rolling departed
for Elmwood this morning in a burst
of glory. The weeks of active pre
paration for the big event bore fruit
this morning when the command was
given and the drill team looking spick
and span in their natty uniforms, and
with a splendid precision of movement
indicative of their steady training, took
up the line of march to the Missouri
Pacific with the City band in the lead.
No finer looking body of men has been
seen on the streets of Plattsmouth
than was presented by this team.
Headed by Captain William C. Ramsey
and Lieut. Matt Joy, they march away
like winners. The team is composed
of the following members: Capt. W.
C. Ramsey; Lieut. Matt Joy; Messrs.
J. C. Warga, Bestor, Hadraba, Jess
Warga. Lindeman, Wales, Richards,
Gravitt, Anderson, Hiber, Hunter,
Landers, Smith, Studen and Bates.
Wm. Budig is the team manager.
In the rear of the team marched a
number of members of the order headed
by J. L. Burrows, banner hearer; Henry
Gering and Wm. Hassler. Owing to the
day being Saturday the attendance was
not as large as anticipated, many mem
bers being unable to leave their places
of business and a number who live in
the country being unable to get away
because of their belated corn-plowing.
However, several carloads moved out

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS
Another New Baby Girl in Town
Frank Warren wa3 around this after
noon setting up the cigars to the boys,
all on account of a new baby girl at his
house. Frank was as happy as a father
could possibly be, and said the mother
and little babe were doing as well as
could possibly be expected. The Jour
nal hopes the little one will live to be a
blessing to Mr. and Mrs. Warren as old
age comes creeping on.

on the special train which left promptly
on time. From reports down the lino
good crowds are expected at Murray.
Union and other points, while a number
of the Plattsmsuth lodge members
would likely join the train at Mynard.
Not the least attractive feature of the
local lodge's participation in the log
rolling is the taking of the famous City
Band along to furnish the music forth
event. The band played several airs en
the street before leaving and doubtless
the good citizens who have the pleas
ure of hearing them at Elmwood, will
appreciate the high grade of music they
are sure to discourse. The band is
composed of the following members:
Frank Janda, sr.; Frank Janda, jr.;
Cyril Janda, Charley Janda; Tom Swo
boda, Gus. Knoflichek, Jim Bird, sr.;
Jim Bird, jr.; A. J. Kanka, W. C. Ham
ilton, John Bukacek, Chas. Vitousek
and Ed Donat. The band presented a
fine appearance as it marched up the
hill and is justly one of Plattsmouth's
show cards.
With the fine weather that prevails
today the celebration ought to be an
immense success. It was to be noticed
that nearly everyone who made the
journey spoke of the prospect of getting
to hear Hon. W. J. Bryan speak as the
one big drawing card of the occasion.
The special returning will leave Elm
wood at 10 p. m., and arrive in this city
about midnight.
