- ... ..... ... Giv Fi:i Csnceil i People who were down town last; evening were treated to a line exiii-j bition of good music by the Woodruunl band which played a number if airs j on the street prior to the meeting of Cass Camp, cf which they are J all members. The constant and j steady improvement cf this Laud is a subject of comment by everyone! and much praise is justly bestowed upon them. The good music which they produce and it Is -far bi tter than many bands made up of old and practiced musicians is the direct, result of their untiring work, con stant practice and the masterly direc tion which they have received at, the hand3 of Frank Janda, jr., their director. Through a" mistake Mr. Cyril Janda, also a finished conduc tor and director of the City band, was given credit for the direction of the Woodman band when it should have read Frank Janda, jr., a young man who bids fair to make himself a nut; Jn this pa-tic Oar 'inn. All 1 by ih! rptural ability ) the musicians, he has been succev.ul !n ii p.,ire - ov-r.ng but a few m I13 in producing a band of which not alone the Woodmen but the city as a whole is proud. The selections which they played last night covered a wide range of music, from grave to gay, from waltz to marches and the reportoire Includes every kind of, music which is written. All of it is played In masterly style and new music re quires but a few readings by this band to be given as It Is written.. The meeting of the M. W. A. last night was one of the best held by that order for a long time. There was an attendance of close to one hundred members and considerable business was transacted. Perhaps, the most important work done was the appripriation of $223 for uni forms for the band. The members of the organization realized that the band was a' splendid advertise ment for the lodge but it was also a great amusement for Plattsmouth and they voted this sum with a cheerful will. The band includes twenty pieces and the lodge purchas ed every man a good uniform cost ing a fraction dver $11 each when taken as a whole. The suits have been ordered and will be rushed at once si that the boys can turn out spick and span in U.eir bright new clothes. To say the members of the band are pleased with the action of Cass Camp is to draw it mild but they are not the only ones in the city proud to havo a real uniformed and up-to-date band. The official name of the band is the M. XV. A. of Cass Camp No. 322 which is inscribed up on the brass drum. After the meeting last night re freshments were served and a gen eral social tome had before the mem bers departed for their homes. The Diamond liinir Contest. Below appears the first week's count in the great diamond ring con test recently inaugurated by Nemetz & Co., manufacturers of Fairy ice cream and confections. This contest has just started but It la going to be a little the hottest one ever given in this city and already the names of the contestants amount to a long row. None of them are too far to be caught easily and it is expected that there will be a big bunch of contest ants together when the fight is over. The popular young ladies of the city all have their devoted admirers and when they all get wrought up over the prixes there will be a lot of ex citement. There are two prizes, the first a handsome diamond ring val uead at $75 and the second a hand some silver tea set valued at $25. The contest runs three months and every 5 cent purchase means one vote for some fair lady.

BilV & In sickness, If a certain hlld- n nene goes wri.ng. then the organ that that nerve controrls will also surely fall. It may be a stomach n-rve. or it may have given strength and supoprt to the heart or kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that .first pointed -) this v!al tit.Hi. Dr. Snoop's restorative was not made to dose the stomach or to temporarily stimulate the heurt or kidneys. That old fashioned method Is all wrong.
