On Mon day the Cass County Teachers' Insti tute opened and there has been a large enrollment of members from all parts of the county. The ladies' dining hall was crowded this day by guests at the reception tendered the teachers by the Park association, this being one of the social events of the chautauqua.

A great crowd saw the contest, which went thirteen innings, and cheered on their favorites. The game was one of the best seen In years In this section, Both teams fought stub bornly and Elmwood finally won. Every one here looks for Platts mouth to send a big train full of people to hear Rev. Ernest O'Neill speak Sunday, and anticipations of a ereat treat run high. With charm ing grounds, superb attractions and everything to draw a good crowd, It Is hoped Plattsmouth will show Its friendly feeling for the success of the chautauqua by sending a record breaking crowd. Every one attend Ing will bo pleased with the trip The special leaves Plattsmouth at 8 a. m. and will leave here, returning home at 10 p. m. . Prof. Ed. Schulhof Hart. Prof. Ed. Schulhof this morning entured down town for the first time in several days, having been severely and painfully injured in a runaway near ixmisvme some days go. In company with William ankonin. with whom he had been stopping for several days while he looking after the piano tuning In that neighborhood, he had started out to go to a neighbor s home about a mile or so distant. In going down hill a short distance from Mr. 'ankonln's the tongue of the buggy n wnlcn they were riding came down and the buggy ran down on the horses, causing them - to run away. They ran a short distance when they upset the buggy In which the two gentlemen were riding, throwing them both out Mr. Pan konin escaped without injury, but Prof. Schulhof sustained two very severe cuts on the left leg, which re sulted In laying him up. One cut was down the calf of the leg and a long, deep one. The other, which was also of a d'-ep character and quite long, was across the back of the thigh. Prof. Schulhof bled pro fusely and a. surgeon was hurriedly summoned, who stanched the flow of blood and bound up hla injuries. He was brought to this city and at once quietly taken to his home. Ow ing to his desire to escape publicity his friends were not aware of the ac cident until several days after It happened. It Is thought now that he has reached such a stage that he will get along nicely In the future, and that he will soon be able to re turn to his work. It has been Prof. Schulhof s cus tom for several years to spend his vacation from his duties at Glen wood in the country tuning pianos, and be has always made his home for a time with Mr. Pankonln while engaged in this work. This is his first serious accident while In the occupation and driving over the country, and he truHts it will be the last to befall him. For the Weeplnjf Water Ileunlon. An automobile party struck town this morning, advertising the old soldiers' reunion at Weeping Water, which takes place on Tueuday, Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday, Au gust 24 to 27 Inclusive. The party consists of P. 8. Dames, W. W. Jameson and George II. Olive, all prominent citizens of that city, Mr. Olive being the editor and publisher of the Republican there. The gen tlemen made a number of calls on our business men and left many ad vertisements of their gathering, which will be one of the best ever given in the county and will Include many things which are attractive to old and young alike. There will be balloon ascensions, athletic sports of all kinds, baseball games, Including one on August 26 between Weeping Water and Plattsmouth, and other events too numerous to mention. It is to bo hoped a good attendance turns out to this affair from this city, as It Is quirt) deserving of as big a crowd as possible. The City band of this has been engaged to furnish the muHlc for the occasion and that assures them of a high quality of this as well its a plentiful quantity. In connection with this Manager Ed. Donat of the City bund begs to state that the bnnd will positively attend. Owing to a misunderstanding between the band boys and the management of the shops hero, It was reported that Su perintendent of Shops Halrd would not let the members of the band away for the occasion. Manager Donat yesterday held a conference with Superintendent Halrd and makes a positive statement that the trouble all arose over a misunder standing of the situation and that Mr. Halrd at no time had any lnten tlon of refusing the men the vaca tlon. He was only too glad, as matter of fact, to furnish any assist ance In his power to the band and heerfully acquiesced In their desire to lay off for this occasion. Man ager Donat feels that a public state ment Is necessary to put Mr. Halrd n the right light before the people and for this Dumose makes the above statement. This nssures Weep Ing Water of good music.

A lesson In civic pride has been taught Plattsmouth citizens by Mrs. Henry Martens. This most estimable lady became disgusted with the high weeds which had been permit ted to grow on the west side of Gar field park, and yesterday took a sickle and proceeded to cut them down. Not being able to complete the Job In one day, she went at It this morning and finished It. This Is a highly commendable spirit, but It Is to be regretted that It was nec essary for her have to do this. Some arrangements should be made by which such matters can be taken care of without compelling ladies to do this work. If the weeds were on the park side of the street the commissioners should have seen that they were cut down. As It Is the result Is a vatjt Improvement In the appearance of the street and a big Improvement In the general aspect of the park. I I . I V z V ? z ?
