Injured His Eye
Adam Krager this morning suffered
a very painful injury to his left eye,
caused by some foreign substance lodg

the field with his corn knife cutting
weeds when something struck him in
his eye. He did not pay any attention
to it for a few moments when the pain
became so great that he went over to
fne of his boys who was working in
the adjoining field and asked him to j
look and see if he could find anything
in h;s eye. He did so but could dis
cover nothing. Being unable to obtain
relief Mr. Krager hurried to the house
where he asked lis dauuMers to exam

What To Io.
There is comfort in the knowledge sn
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
jind scalding pain in passing it, or Lad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary elfect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
fur its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have tin; best. Sold by drug

Yesterday noon Rev. R. J. Keller of
the German Methodist Church of Lincoln
at the residence of Julius Doering in
this city pronounced the words which
united the lives of Miss Minnie Doering
and Frank J. Lillie.
The house had been handsomely deco
rated for the occasion and a numbei of
guests had been invited. The ceremony
of the German Methodist church tooK
place promptly as the hour told mid-day.
Following the ceremony, a delicious
wedding breakfast was served to which
the numerous guests present did full
justice. There were many and valuable
presents showered upon the happy
couple who departed on the west bound
train in the afternoon for an extended
tour to Colorado and mountain points.
There were many guests present from
out of thecitj, the list including Messrs.
and Mesdames R. J. William, Council

Mrs. Lillie is one of the best known
school teachers in this portion of the
community. She has deservedly won a
high place as an educator and in addi
tion is one of the finest young women
the community has produced. She has
a host of friends who have hastened to
extend to her the heartiest congratula
tions and their best wishes for a long
and happy wedded life.
The groom is the son of one of Cass
County's best and oldest citizens. He
is a young man of sterling work, hav

possibility of reproach. Like his charm
ing helpmate, he has a host of friends
everyone of whom joins in wishing him
the greatest possible joy in his matri
monial life, and that it will be long
continued and prosperous.
A Pleasant Affair
One of the most pleasant little parties
to be eiven in this vicinity was that
given several evenings ago at the home
of George Hild, several miles west
of the city. The party was given in
honor of Miss Maggie Pappe, of Un:on
City, Oklahoma, a sister of Mrs. Hild,
who will shortly return to her home
after a visit with relatives in this
vicinity.
There were a large number of friends
present and a most enjoy able time was
had. The evening was pleasantly spent
in various amusements such as take
place on all such occasions and there
were choice and delicate refreshments
served which the many guests did full
justice to. It was intended to make
the occasion one which all would re
member and one which Miss Pappe
could carry away charming thoughts
of, and in this it was a gret success.
Most of the guests were from the
surrounding country, those from the
city being Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mason,
Misses Ella Marie Sattler, Olga Sattler,
Messrs. Jesse Warga, Henry and Otto
Lutz.

BAND CONCERT
LAST
Larg2 Crcv.d Ccw.n Tciv.t aid the
Beys Were Rigorously Applauded
The regular weekly band concert la.-t
night was held on Main street between
f,lh and (ith. It had Inn the intention
to hold this concert upon Sixth between
Main and Vine but owin to the condi
tion of the pavement it was deemed
best to hold it on Main street.
The program last night was well
given, the band seeming to enter into
the spirit of the music in fine shape.
And the crowd also seemed to appreci
ate the efforts of the boys for they
vigorously applauded almost every num
ber. The marches tjiven last night
were played with a stir and vigor that
had been lacking in former concerts,
and were warmly greeted by the audi
ence. There was a large crowd dow n on the
street to hear the music and judging
from their actions they all thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion. The street was
lined w ith people on both sides for the
space of nearly the entire block, all in
tent upon listening to the ravishing
sounds the band poured forth.
It has been suggested that the new-
boys band be given a chance at some of
these concerts and that they be heard
upon the streets shortly. Manv who
have heard the boys express the opin
ion that they are fully capable of giving
a concert of their own and the suggest
ion might be taken up with profit as it
would encourage them to keep up the
good work.
The Hills Take a "Hike."
B. E. Hill the complaining witness
against Fernald, Downey and Wilson,
the three men held in the county jail
for assault upon him with intent to do
him bodily harm, is reported to have
left the city. Mrs. Hill, the woman
purporting to be his wife, left the city
yesterday noon on the mail train for
the north, and it is said Hill followed
her later.
If the report turns out to be true it
will in all probability result in the three
men being allowed to go free when the
cases come to trial, with another bill of
costs for the taxpayers of the county to
face. The report says that Hill and his
alleged wife indulged in a fight previous
to leaving, without any damage to either
participant. It is also reported that co
incident with their disappearance a suit
case also disappeared from the Hotel
Perkins where they were working. In
vestigation discloses that the suit case
in question was an old one of no value
and no effort has been made to recover
it or find the takers.
The necessity of placing these people
under bond for their appearance to pros
ecute the men under the charges pre
ferred by them, is now quite apparent,
as there is no way by which they could
be brought back here to testify in the
cases. This should have been done, as
the people are itinerant laborers and
have nothing to hold them here after
getting the county saddled with a law
suit more or less expensive.
In County Court
In County Codrt today a petition was
filed by Chas. R. Metteer, Sarah M.
Eveland and James Jensen for the pro
bate of the will of the late Robert
Metteer. The petition sets forth that
the value of the personal property of
the deceased is eight Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars; that the rents from
the real estate amount to Seven Hund
red Dollars per year and that the realty
is valued at Sixteen Thousand Dollars.
The petition asks that A. B. Dickson,
of Elmwood, be appointed executor of
the will. The hearing on the petition
is set for September 29, at 9 a. m. The
will which was opened shortly following
Mr. Metteer's death, provides that the
property shall be divided, after the
debts are paid, as follows: Chas R.
Metteer one-third, Sarah M. Eveland
one-third. Cora Keiser, Frank Metteer
and Robert Vial one dollar each and the
remainder of the estate to Mary, James
and Pearl Jensen, minor children of a
daughter of deceased, their portion to
be helri in trust by Peter Eveland and
to be paid them as they become of age.

Injured at the Shops.
Yesterday afternoon Bert Thomas
while engaged in his duiies at the shops
received a severe injury by reason of a
sledge slipping, and striking him above
the eje. The blow was a hard one and
and would have done him a bad hurt
but for the fact that the blow was a
glancing one. As it was, the flesh was
torn away above the eye making a deep
and wide gash which took several
stitches to close. This is the first acci
dent he has suffered in the six years of
his service in the shops, he being unus
ually fortunate.

A Miscellaneous Shower.
Tuesday evening a delightful miscel
laneous shower was given at the home
of Miss Gertrude Beeson, by the Social
Workers of the methodist church, in
honor of Miss Sallie Brady who is to be
married the latter part of the month.
There was a large crowd present and
they enjoyed themselves immensely.
Miss Brady was the recipient of many
fine and handsome presents which her
admiring friends showered upon her,
She was quite overcome with the hand
some compliments which they paid her.
The hostess, Miss Beeson, was as
sisted in entertaining the many guests
by Mrs. John Beeson and the ladies ac
quitted themselves superbly, the guests
all being delighted at the entertain
ment. The refreshments were all that
could be desired, and taken all in all
the occasion was made a memorable
one especially for the honored guest.

publican. Did Not Have to Close.
It is stated that County Attorney
Rawls notified the Plattsmouth saloon
keepers Monday night that they must
close their places of business on Tues
day morning, and not open up until
Wednesday morning. They complied
with his request. Now comes Judge
Kennedy, of Omaha, and says there is
no law compelling them so to do. Here
is what the World-Herald has to say
regarding the matter:
"Judge Kennedy refused to issue a
writ of mandamus in the proceedings
instituted in his court to compel the
saloons to close on primary election
day. The judge decided that the sa
loons had a right to be open on that
day, because the law does not speak of
primary elections. He adds that they
had as much right to run open yester
day as they did on convention days,
when political parties selected their
candidates under the old system.
"The judge says that the law will
have to be changed before it can be
made to reach primary elections, and
hintj that the matter will likely be
taken up at the next session of the Ne
braska general assembly."

UNIQUE III ENJOYA
BLE FAREWELL PARTY
In Honor of Hiss Dora Fricke Who Departs Sat
urday for an Extended Tour of Europe.
Last evening at the delightful home
of Mr. and Mrs II. S. Austin there was
tendered a most unique arid enjoyable
farewell party to Miss Dora Fricke
who departs Saturday for an extended
tour to Europe. The party was attend
ed by some thirty-four guests who were
given the most unique entertainment
in the way of a party that has probably
ever been giver, in this city.
The invitations to the affair were in
the shape of ininature circus tents, a
flap of which on being unfolded exposed
the invitation or ticket to the party.
This ticket on one side read as follows:
A I.i IT ONE
: to :
: LARK BROS. CIRCUS PARTY
: IN HONOK OK MISS DdltA KKICKK
: Eve. of Sept. 2. Austin's Corner. '
While the back of the invitation con
tained the unique stipulation :
"In consideration of the reduced rate
at which this ticket is sold the bearer
hereby agrees to furnish a "stunt" or
"sell" for the amusement of the party. "
This invitation was to be presented
at vhe door where a regular ticket office
had been established, and where per
forated tickets were given each ticket
being good for five cents in trade or
rather admission to the various side
shows. The entrance to the house or
rather tent, for the intention was to
have the house so considered, was sur
mounted with a sign which read "Lark
Bros. Circus" the light from which
aided the ticket seller to dispose of his
wares and take no money good or bad.
For the convenience of.those from the
country, the lemonade and pop corn
stand was placed handily close to .the
ticket office, and as one entered the
tent, the sandwhich man was immediate
ly in evidence as was the peanut ven
der and the ice cream cone man. The
orchestra which was styled the Eolian,
was stationed near the entrance and
throughout the evening dispensed sweet
strains of melody from paper-overlaid
combs, an oddity that greatly amused
the guests. After all had enjoyed this
feature of the evening, the big tent
was thrown open to the guests. For
the purpose of this show, the large
dining room had been cleared of its fur
niture, and carefully draped in exact
imitation of a circus tent with all the
crooks and turns of the canvas traced
out with abundant care so that one by
night could easily imagine themselves
within the confines of a real circus.
Around the tent at intervals were estab
lished booths containing exhibits foreach
of which a coupon was detached as the
spectators was permitted to view the
wonders and curiosities hidden within
To the left the large bay window was
made to serve as a stage, and from
this vantage point various "turns" and
"stunts" innumerable were had.
To return to the side shows, the first
to catch the eye upon entering was
"The Subdued Ground Hog," the title
of which led the curious to pay the ad
mission and draw aside the curtain of
the booth only to discover a specimen
of pork sausage mounted upon a card.
Then came "The Light That Failed"
an electric light globe suspended upon
a card. And this proved to be almost
a literal representation of conditions as
the electric light did fail during the
evening and while the guests where at
the height of their enjoyment. They
fortunately were off for a few moments
only and with their return the hilarity
was resumed.
Then came "The Biggest Goose"
which resulted in the seeker after the
strange and curious drawing aside the
curtain only to find himself or herself
as the case might be, staring into a
large miror. The "Happy Junele Fam-'
ily" was a collection of toy animals
and a mounted wolf which looked re
alistic in the dark corner where it was
placed with its shining glass eyes.
"Light on the subject" was a candle
placed upon a placard bearing the word
subject and was quite a joke upon
those anxious to seek it. "The Jumbo
Twins" were two monster rag dolls
which reposed securely in a tent of their
own. This was the series of shows
which furnished entertainment of as

unique a nature as the guests had ever
witnessed.
But the circus performers were an
other show in themselves. As the man
ager of the circus, Mr. Austin assumed
the general direction of the events of
the program which was given from the
stage in the window. For t his occasion
the improvised stage was placarded
with friendly advice to audience and
performers alike. One of the more
striking of these read
"Don't Grunt Do Your Stunt "
And the performers seemed to enter
into the spirit of the advice for they
did stunts innumerable, so many in fai;t
that it is possible to notice but a few.
The management had arranged a thril
ling Slide for Life after apologizing to
the late Fourth of July Committee for
stealing their thunder, and from one
corner of the tent to the floor a wire
was strung upon which a rag doll es
sayed to slide. As was the case once
before, the doll stuck on the wire w hich
broke precipating the bundle of rags to
the floor. The audience was horror
stricken at the terrible sight. Howevar,
they recovered as soon as Miss Lillian
Dwyer gave an exhibition as LaBelle,
the tight wire walker, walking a wire
laid upon the floor. Her burlesque
caused much laughter and applause.
An unfortunate feature of the gath
ering was the advent of a young wo
man with a monster Merry Widow hat.
The usher showed her to a seat at the
front of the auditorium and immediate
ly in front of the stage. When she
was seated her immense hat completely
shut off the view of the stage and the
performers and a mighty uproar en
sued. The audience insisted so vigor
ously that the young lady finally con
sented to remove the hat and permit
the performance to proceed. This was
the stunt of Miss Helen Dovey and
took excellently.
Some mysterious work was perform
ed by Wm C. Ramsey and Miss Flor
ence Dovey who greatly edified the
audience by feats of sleight of hand
work. They were really good artists
in this line and earned a vigorous
amount of applause. The sleight of
hand work of the evening though was
that of Henry Guthman. This young
prestigiator wrapped a diamond in a
piece of paper which he caused to dis
appear, and afterwards caused the
diamond to come out of a cigar which
Mr. Carl Fricke was smoking. Manager
Austin cut the cigar open and extract
ed the diamond in the presence of Mr.
Fritz Fricke. This marvelous work
was worthy of Hermann, The Great.
The oratory of the evening was fur
nished or rather, attempted to be fur
nished by Fritz Fricke who sought to
nominate Bryan for the presidency but
who was drowned out by the wild ap
plause which greeted every mention of
the name of the Peerless leader.
Much of the good work of the vari
ous performers was due to the man
agement of their trainer, Mrs. Austin,
who, in jockey attire handled her
charges to the eminent satisfaction of
the audience. One of the profitable in
dustries of the evening was the peanut
concession handled by little Milton
Austin who was in uniform for the oc
casion and pushed his business with
marked success.
Taken throughout no more pleasant
or successful party has ever been given
in this city, and none which has been
so welljliked by those who were fortu
nate to participate in it. It was such
a party as will always live in the mem
ory of Miss Fricke, the honored guest,
as a most delightful token of the esteem
of her many friends.
The guests included Messrs. and Mes
dames Carl Fricke, E. H. Wescott, C.
W. Baylor, T. P. Livingston, Mrs.
Anna Britt, Misses Lena Fricke, Dora
Fricke, lone Dovey, Helen Dovey,
