A VERY PLEASANT
PICNiG AT PERU
Sociability fcr a Pay Reigns Supreme
With the Cass County Club.
Peru, Neb., July 21, 1908.
To the Editor of the Journal:
July 14th, 1908-Last night N. W.
Gaines, formerly superintendent of the
Ijouisville schools, appeared here 00 the
I Bummer lecture course. Mr. Gaines
1'New Wine in New Bottles," was well
received by a large and appreciative
audience. Supt. Gamble, in a few well
chosen words, introduced the speaker
and told why Cass county people are so
proud of the fact that they are from
that county. He said that when a man
was needed to fill the. chair of literature,
a former Cass county man, Prof. Sear
son was chosen. When a man was
needed to stand at -the head of this great
institution, another Cass county man
was chosen in the person of Mr. Crab
tree. Then last summer when. a man
was needed at the head of the practice
school, Cass county was called upon to
give up another of her strongest school
men, Prof. Rouse. Also, the voters of
the First Congressional district have
twice chosen from our midst Hon. E. M.
Pollard to represent them in congress,
and our present governor is one of Cass
county's sons. "Therefore, " Mr. Gam
ble said, "it is not surprising that when
a lyceum bureau was looking for a
strong man they also came to Cass."
The members of the Cass county club
with those from Washington, attended
in a body. After the lecture a short
reception was tendered Mr. Gaines by
the members of these associations. It
was held in Philomatheon Hall. A short
program was given, consisting of solos
by Mrs. Gamble and Miss Florence
Comer, an instrumental duett by the
Misses Mary Fauss and Gertrude Sten-
ner and short talks by Prof. Searsoi
and Mr. Gaines. The remainder of the
time was spent in getting acquainted
and social chat.
July 20, 1908 Saturday afternoon,
the members of the Cass county club
and a few invited guests went to the
woods for a picnic. It is generally con
ceded that when this crowd gets to
gether there is "something doing" and
Saturday was no exception. The crowd
was preceded by a large delivery wagon
carrying a half load of watermelons,
several cakes, two large freezers of ice
cream and an immense basket of sand
wiches and numerous other "picnic
dainties." And here it is fitting that
special mention be made of the good
work of the refreshment committee,
who were A. J. Wickland, chairman,
Miss Ralston and Miss Craig.
Upon reaching the grove Prof. Rouse
and Supt. Gamble chose sides lor
a base ball game. As there were not
enough men present about one half of
each team was made up of ladies, but
this fact did not make the game any the
less interesting. Supt. Gamble's side
easily won by a score of nineteen to
three. Especial mention should be made
of the excellent pitching done by Miss
Forsythe on Mr. Gamble's side. Also,
A. J. Wickland and M. C. Lefler did
some good catching and Lefler "was
equally as good at short-stop. On Mr.
Rouse's side G. C. DeBolt, as baseman
and Guy Williams, as catcher, did some
very efficient work. Don Young also
proved himself a capable player. It
was amusing to all present to see the
frantic efforts of Prof. Searson and
Prof. Rouse in trying to keep from be
ing "fanned out" and to distinguish
themselves at short-stop and third base
respectfully.
Just before supper the crowd assem
bled and had their pictures taken. Af
ter the most bountiful supper, to which
every one did ample justice, various
games were played and at dusk the
crowd started for home. On the way
back we were entertained by a military
drill commanded by Mr. Don Young and
participated in by Mr. Guy Williams.
Those present were: Prof, and Mrs.
Searson and Wilma; Prof. Rouse and
Lawrence; Supt. and Mrs. Gamble; Mr.
Joe Eaton; Misses Vesta Eaton, Ger
trude Stenner, Minnfe Sutherland, Belle
and Alice Dyer, Flora Eidenmiller, Lil
lian Kiersey, Agnes O'Brien, Grace
Countryman, Sadie Lippencott. Agatha
Jones, Ellen Jacobson, Edith Jones,
Cora Mueller, Ethel Christensen, Verona
Langhorst, Elsie Goodfellow, Jennie
Craig, Fern and Gladys Ralston, Edna
Lefler, Lillian Stradley, Susie 'Mathis,
Perkins, and Miss Forsythe; Messrs A.
J. Wickian, G. C. DeBolt, Guy Williams,
S. B. Stapleton, E. E. Odell, Ralston
and Joe Eaton.
Judge Archer yesterday afternoon
had an opportunity to use his meter
and mete out some of his celebrated
brand of justice when Dick Wilkinson
was arraigned before him charged with
having accumulated too much red-eye.
Dick had been some boisterous the
night before and the police had coralled
him and stowed him in the cell house
until he had slept it off. The judge j
after due deliberation thought about
two dollars and the usual trimmings
would suit Dick's case. As Richard
did not have the required sponduiix he j
was hurried away to hotel JIanspeaker j
where he will ornament the city end of f
of the hostelry until the fine and cor.ts '
are satisfied. '
In Justice Court
In justice court before Justice An her
today the case of Carroll vs. Village of
Elmwood was continued until Aug. 4 $t
8 a. m. and the case of Wilson vs. Ren
shaw et al was continued until Aug. 17
at 9 a. m.
One of the curious complications of
the death of Justice Barr was that the
suit of Bates vs. Benjamin which Justice
Archer recently disposed of comes back
before him in a new manner. When
the case was dismissed, Attorney Sulli
van immediately filed a new suit before
Justice Barr asking for a judgment
against Benjamin. The suit now goes
under the law, to the nearest justice
which in this case is Justice Archer,
so if it is desired to have the case heard
it must be heard before that magistrate.
One formality which the attorney for
the plaintiff seems to have overlooked
in a requirement of the law that the
cost in the previous case must have been
paid before a new suit can be commenc
ed. It is hierhly improbable the case will
come to trial.
SUDDEN PASSING
OF II. D. BARR
Veteran Printer Succumbs at
an Early Hour This
Morning.
Death this morning closed down the
eyelids of one of Cass county's best
known citizens when Henry Decatur
Barr passed to his long slumber. For a
number of days he had been suffering
severely from a complication of diseases
but was around the streets until late
yesterday afternoon, when he returned
to his room in the Waterman block
never again to leave it alive. He had
felt well enough to hold an examination
yesterday and manifested no symptoms
of his approaching end until at about
5:30 p. m., when he retired to his room,
not, however, going to bed, but sitting
near a window in a rocking chair. He
must have remained in this position
until between nine and ten o'clock in
the evening, when his condition became
much worse.
At that time his groans and outcries
attracted the attention of Deputy
Sheriff Manspeaker who, in company
with Dr. A. P. Barnes visited his room
finding him still sitting in the chair.
They assisted him to bed and Mr. Man
speaker left. Dr. Barnes called in
County Commissioner Friedrich and
Wm. Deles Dernier who assisted in
caring for the unfortunate man until
Dr. Martin arrived. Dr. Martin gave
Mr. Barr a hypodermic injection to re
lieve his pain, but little change was
manifested in his condition until about
three o'clock in the morning, when he
seemed to be some easier, and at four
went to sleep, sleeping until five o'clock
when he woke up.
A Mr. Wilson ad volunteered to set
up with him, and at five o'clock Barr
turned to him and thanked him for h:s
services, remarking "the fight
is nearly over. " He then tried to shake
hands with Wilson, slightly raising
himself from the bed and extending his
arm toward Wilson only to fall back
dead. The end was sudden and pain
less. Mr. Barr's niece, Mrs. Wm. Wynn,
was later notified and the body was re
moved to the undertaking parlors of M.
Hild. Interment will be made at Weep
ing Water at a time to be determined
later. His mother is buried at that
place.
H. D. Barr was one of the widest
known citizens of the county. A prin
ter by trade he had worked upon nearly
all the country papers in this vicinity,
having been employed almost up to the
time of his death on the News of this
city. "Dick," as he was known, was a
a man of bright mind and a geniality as
broad as the world. At various times he
had been prominent in politics locally,
being an ardent populist up to recently,
when his political activities had almost
ceased. He will be well remembered
throughout the county as a sociable man
who never harbored ill toward any one.
H. D. Barr was born in Allen County,
Ohio, on July 15, 1846 and was there
fore sixty-two years of age at the time
of his death. He left surviving him
two sisters Mrs. Sallie Hadsell of
Leipsic, O. and Mrs. Minerva Strow of
Waterloo, Ind. He also left a niece
Mrs. Wm. Wynn of this city who has
looked after the funeral arrangements.
Arrangements have just been made
by which the body of Mr. Barr will be
taken overland to Weeping Water by
Undertaker Sattler tomorrow morning,
leaving this city at six o'clock. Those
desiring to take a last view of their de
parted friend can do so today by calling
at the undertaking parlors of M. Hild
on Sixth street.

THE
3C
Tariff and Trade.
The following from the Churchman,
an illustrated religious magazine, pub
lished in New York City, may possibly
open the eyes of some people:
"The approaching national election,
with the prospect that it offers of a
subsequent reconsideration of the tariff,
lends interest to some facts in regard
to international commerce cenveniently
compiled in the just issued Statesman's
Year Book for 1908. In the aggregate
American exports fill a large place, for
this country is very large and populous.
But if the reckoning be by population,
our rank, as it may surprise many
Americans to learn, is very far from
the top among the commercial states.
The exports of France, Germany, Nor
way and Sweden for each inhabitant
are greater than ours; those of Switz
erland are nearly three times as great;
those of Belgium and Denmark even
larger. The Netherlands in proportion
to population exports six times as much
as we do. And yet we think of our
selves as an industrial people, unrivalled
in mechanical ingenuity, in labor-saving
devices, in gigantic organization of pro
duction. "What shuts us out from a fair share
of the markets of the world is the par
alyzing hand of the tariff, preserving
to us a monopoly of the home market
at the cost of all the other markets and
at the expense of the American con
sumer, that is, of us all."
Owing to a misunderstanding over
the telephone this morning the young
daughter of M. S. Briggs thought a
message had been received from Mrs.
Briggs, who is at present in Salem, la.,
that Mrs. Briggs' father was dead.
Mr. Briggs, on being informed of the
purported message, came to the city
and proceeded to try to trace the same
down. He was unable to locate any
such message, and does not consider
the same as probable, as he had been
in receipt of a card from Mrs. Briggs
to the effect that her father was much
better only the day before. Their many
friends will be glad to learn of the
falsity of the rumor.
M. Mauzy, who has been out in Keith
county and at Denver, Colo., for sev
eral days returned to the city last
night. Mr. Mauzy pronounces the
crops in western Nebraska better than
he had ever seen them, especially the
corn, which is as high as his head and
fine, level growth and good color. He
looks for a bumper yield this year.
Wheat aid not do so well but still will
make a fair crop. He enjoyed a trip
over the Moffat road while at Denver
and pronounces it the finest piece of
railroading he ever encountered.
