that we do just as we advertise. We advertise our flood sale in the Morgan
room as a bargain event. It is. We do not use flamboyant adjectives to
tell you about it. The bargains themselves talk for us. Ask your neigh

FETE GIIAMPETRE
A GREAT SUCCESS
Entertainment at C. C. Parmele's
Draws a Big Crowd-Great
Talent Displayed
Despite an unfortunate breakdown
of the lights, the fete champetre given
at the home of Chas. C. Parmele last
night was a pronounced and brilliant
success. The attendance was very
large, and the proceeds netted the
Presbyterians a very neat sum.
The magnificent residence and lawn
of Mr. Parmele had been handsomely
decorated for the occasion, a particularly
fine feature being the erection of a
large square of lights which made the
lawn as bright almost as noonday. The
porch, on which the bright little two
act comedietta was given had been
tastefully prepared as a stage, while
the lawn was covered with tables and
chairs, UDon which refreshments were
served during the progress of the pro
gram. In addition to the comedietta, which
formed the center piece of the fete,
there were numerous other attractions,
such as fortune tellers, hypnotists and
the like, all of which were liberally
patronized by those attending.
The sparking little play which kept
the audience in laughter throughout the
evening, was in more than capable
hands the parts being taken by Misses
Marie and Vesta Douglass, Mildred
Cummins and Josephine Hall. All the
young ladies were letter perfect and
acquitted themselves with much credit.
Miss Cummins was exceptionally good
as the Irish cook and got much applause.
The two Misses Douglas were also at
their best and the audience greatly ad
mired their work. Josephine Hall as
usual was capital, her acting being of
high grade of cleverness. All in all it
was a brilliant success.
The fortune telling tent was well pa
tronized, the seeress harvesting much
money for the fund while the hypnotist
whom many thought to be Ben Wind
ham, also did some thriving business. In
addition two very excellent solos were
rendered b y Misses Ella Margaret
Dovey and Etha Crabill. Each of them
were hits with the audience, their work
being unusually fine.
After the lights had failed, candles
were substituted and the entire pro
eram as outlined was finished. Too
much praise cannot be giyen those

For Sale.
I have a bargain to offer in a complete
electric lighting outfit, consisting of
one three horse power casoline engine,
one electric dynamo of thirty sixteen
candle power light capacity, switch
board and necessary instruments, water
cooling tank, all complete and mounted
on one base requiring only floor space
of six by three feet. .
The engine will perform any work
usually done by a gasoline engine, be
sides operating the dynamo, the dynamo
will light lamps, run motors, electric
fans and operate other electrical ap
pratus. This plant is ii. daily operation
in Plattsmouth, and is practically new
having been used but thirty days. I am
installing a nine horse power plant to
take the place of the three horse outfit
and as soon as I get the large outfit in
operation, I will have no further use
for the small outfit so will sell it at a
very low figure. This outfit is made
especially for use in private residence
or store, is suitable for farm use as
well as town and is so simple that any
one can operate it without any experi
ence necessary.

Has a Strenuous Night En
Route, Running Down a
Schooner.
Newport, R. I.. July 23. rieadln:;
lor popular support for a "first-class
fighting navy," a navy capable of seek
ing out the enemy and "hamnjerlns
him into the quits," President Roose
velt was the central figure here in the
most notable conference of United
States naval officers ever called to
gether to consult and discuss in a
broad, general way the future'United

yublicly for more than half an hour,

cutive session for one hour. Durin?
this session the president took a lead
ing part In the discussion. He argued
as a layman, he explained, and did not
attempt to give advice to professional

Navy a Peace Guarantee.
He impressed upon the officers, how
ever, that It was given to them to keep
the United States navy abreast of the
times, and to make it the hard-hitting;
efficient fighting force which he 1
lieves to be a guarantee against the
possibility of war. Roosevelt charac
terized the navy ns the cheapest form
of safety insurance policy the nation
can obtain. The president has sailed
for Oyster Bay, but the battleship con
ference will continue here, and in
Washington until definite plans for the
ships to be laid down in the near
future are decided upon.
Reviews Apprentice Seamen.
The president spent the entire time
he was here upon the naval island. He
inquired as to the manner of training
the apprentice seamen and a few min
utes later, when the battalion passed
in review before him and the more ad
vanced men gave a "setting up" and
semaphore drill, he expressed himself
in terms of high praise of the quick
progress made in training green men.
Pleased with What lie Sees.
To Admiral Merrell, Captain Fullnm
and oatswain Shieker.R who drilled
the nien. the president said: 'I want
to say how pleased I am with the
bearing, the whole tone and look of
evident character of this battalion. It
is a fine thing, and Captain Fullam, I
am particularly pleased to see it han
dled as it was by a warrant officer.
