County Clerk Roscncrans Is busily engaged today In preparing the elec tion ballots and supplies for deliv ery to the several precincts next week. The new form of ballot makes It much more bulky and In convenient than the old, and renders his task more arduous. It will take a longer time than before to get the ballots In the hands of the election officials owing to the Inability to carry as many precincts on one trip as heretofore. Well, Plattsmouth didn't do so worse, after all. J ne local oau ooys copped off second money at Malvern and just missed first by an eye lash. The first game was lost on a fluke something which Is liable to happen n any game and something which is quite unavoidable. The boys played fine ball in all three games and the unfortunate bobble which cost them first place and fifty slmoleons of real money was merely one of the inci dents which must be overlooked. The second game on Thursday with Car son resulted as told In last evening's paper In a slaughter of the lnno- ents, Carson being taken into camp by the score of 6 to 1. The great big feature of the tourn ament was the ruthless scalping of the Sidney team by the locals. The score wnen the swatresi was over was 17 to 1 In Plattsmouth's favor, something truly awful and war ranted to remove any possible feei ng that Plattsmouth couldn't play ball. Williams, the live Indian, pitched the game for the locals and had Sidney on his staff. They never at any time had a look-in .and se cured their one run merely as a gift, as It was quite unearned. In justice to Williams, It may be remarked that the first game which he lost could be charged up to a sore arm, as he complained of tb arm before going Into the game. Despite this he prob ably would have won out fut for an unfortunate error behind him at a critical time. But the game yester day developed no sore arm. He was there, klddo, with the goods, and had curves and shoots and things to beat Sidney and the band all put together. It is said one Sidney player complained to the umpire that the ball, when It passed him, was under size, but ibis is rumor merely. Anyway, It was too scarce lor the Sidney batters, who were mowed down right and left. In addition he was backed up by superb fielding. In fact, all three games demonstrated that the locals are some fielding team and they kept their opponents guessing at all tlmese. Cope caught the three games and did excellent work, few bases being oiolen on him. He was there with the quick snap of the ball and cut off many an unwary runner who thought second or third looked good to him. The games were also characterized by great work on the bngs and the outfield, and the entire team acquitted Itself In fine shape. The local pitchers who twirled the second game de serve great credit for their work. The team this afternoon plays Baker Bros, of Omaha, and if they have anything like the crown they deserve the Chicago Avenue grounds will not hold the people. Turn out and give the boys the right kind of patronage. They deserve It, as they i are, the greatest advertisement the city had had In many years. They expect to play every day during the carnlvnl, and If the team is to be kept together It must be by liberal patronage. Remember, people, that Plattsmouth at one time was the live baseball town of Nebraska. Don't you nil remember how we used to cheer the locals on to vic tory when Weeping Water, Wahoo, Columbus, Uncoln, Norfolk, Kenr- ney, Beatrice and other towns play ed here. Well, we have the goods now, and all we need Is the people and the cheer. Your place Is out at Chicago Avenue park with your two bits and a loud hip, hip, hurrah. Make 'em play ball that's what wins. .l:;el La!y l'awt Aumj. DIED Conwell, Farah A, at the j Masonic home, Plattsmouth, Neb., I at i:4o p. in., August ti, ll't,! aged 76 years.

Mrs. Sarah Conwell, who has been In poor health for some months passed on to the far country last night She will be sadly missed at the Masonic home, where she has resided for the last three years.

Travis ' Judge District Court. owns a profitable private fish hatch ery, arrived in Lincoln yesterday from a visit to the state and govern ment hatcheries in Michigan, Wis consin. Ohio and Illinois. He also attended the national meeting of state and government flshculturlsts. The hatcheries in Michigan and Wis consin are the best in the county, but Mr. Runlon, after visiting them, said he had seen no better than the Ne braska state hatchery, near South Bend. The inspection of hatcheries In other states was a revelation to me," said Mr. Runlon. "We saw some hatcheries that have better and more expensive buildings, but none is bet ter equipped end stocked or Is near er up to date In methods or is doing better work thin tne Nebraska hatchery under Mr. O'Brien. He stands at the head of his profession in this country and has been doing wonderful work for many years on a modest salary, yet It Is doubtful if many of the people of Nebraska rea lize what his services mean to the tate. Mr. O'Brien could leave the service of Nebraska any minute and get several times the salary he is receiving, but he likes the state and has interests here, and no salary elsewhere tempts him." There Is no state appropriation for the payment of the expenses of the superintendent of the Nebraska hatchery to national meetings, and he was obliged to pay his own ex penses. According to Mr. Runlon the convention was like most other national conventions, more or less of a farce and little was learned there by experts. The principal object of the trip was to see the practical workings of state and national hatch eries that were visited. Mr. Runlon has taken to fishculture for pleas ure and profit. He has nine ponds covering four acres, fed by a spring, and makes a specialty of raising bass and crapples. During the pres ent year he sold $1,200 worth of fish and has many orders yet to fill. He sells mostly to persons who desire to stock private ponds. The eggs of bass are adhesive, unlike trout and other fish of the salmon family, and cannot be hatched by artificial means. They are batched in ponds by natural methods, and when the fish are six months old they are reday to be transplanted In other waters. Superintendent O'Brien came to Lincoln to see about repairs on the fisheries building at the state fair grounds. His state exhibit at the fair this year promises to be a little better than usual. When the new building was erected for this exhibit ordinary glass was placed in the aquariums, but every time a big fish got restless and tried to get away the glass was broken like so much paper. Mr. O'Brien finds that in some hatcheries glass one Inch thick Is used. The state fair board has promised to use glass half an Inch thick for the game fish and large specimens. 'Of course some hatcheries main tained by other states and by the government have salt water displays that Nebraska cannot have," said Mr. O'Brien, "but aside from that I do not think any citizens need be ashamed of our state hatcheries." While Mr. O'Brien has spent twen ty or more years trying to protect and propagate game fish In Nebras- ter than a catfish. Up to July 31 eighty-one persons had obtained per mission to seine and use nets under these conditions. The names of the seiners who ob tained permits during June were published. The following are the persons who during July obtained permits to seine and net catfish: John Kresser, Orleans. T. C. Westenbarger, Ashland. Charles Miller, Ashland. Louis Frlck, Omaha.

Taken Suddenly 111. Yesterday morning Thomas Troop was taken suddenly and violently ill with an attack of heart trouble and for sometime his life was despaired of. During the day he was troubled with sinking spells and only heroic treatment saved his life. A physi cian was hurriedly summoned and to this fact he can lay his speedy Im provement. He was taken from his place of business jvhere the attack occurred to the home of his brother Robert Troop last evening and this morning he Is reported as much im proved and It Is believed he Is now out of danger. This is the hope of his many friends at least. Buys Mill. Monday A. L. McDonald closed up a deal in which George Reitter be comes the owner of a large mill at Indlanola. Mr. Reitter owned a half section of land In ' Pierce county, which he traded to A. A. Kannow for the mill. Milling is out of Mr. ReiUers' line of business, so be is now looking for some one who does understand the work to lease the mill to. He says he will lease It at a reasonable price to any competent party. Eagle Beacon. Loses Kml of Finger. E. F.
