Successful Affair
Elmwood, Neb., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial 'to the Journal.) The biggest
Chautauqua ever held la Cass coun
ty id now well under way, and It la
a great success In every particular.
The crowds this year have been
enormous and the opening days
have greatly encouraged the man
agers of the enterprise. The events
of this week have been of a high
order and every one has enjoyed the
splendid program provided. 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. In addition to his
other lectures Dr. II. M. Parkhurst
this day gave another fine lecture,
which was greatly appreciated by a
large audience. The Chicago Ladies'
orchestra gave a fine concert also.
An Interesting discussion was had
at the church congress In the morn
ing. Taggert, the comedian, enter
tained large crowds and kept them
In a constant state of laughter.
Tuesday was also a great day and
had a marked Increase In attend
ance. The program ns mapped out
ior the teachers' Institute was car
ried out very successfully. Dr. Park
hurst's lecture was attended by the
usual Interested crowd. The Eva
Dartlctt Macoy company gave two
concerts, which were well attended.
The Elmwood cornet band furnished
some fine band inuslo to large audi
ences. Father P. J. McCorry, In the
eveningdelivered an Impressive and
eloquent address to a large audience
The ball game In the afternoon was
attended by a large crowd and was a
red-hot contest. Alvo defeated Elm
wood by a score of 2 to 1, both
teams playing fast and snappy ball
anil winning . applause from the
large crowd.
Wednesday's program had as Its
attractions the Eva Bartlett Macey
eomnanv and Dr. Parkhurst, who
met with their usual success In In
teresting and entertaining large
audiences, and In the evening Ed
ward Amherst Ott delivered bis lec
ture, "Sour Grapes," to a crowd
which taxed the capacity of the
speaker's voice. Ott Is one of the
best lecturers ever heard here and
made a distinct hit. The ball game
in the afternoon was an exciting and
lively contest, ending in a score of 7
for Elmwood to 5 for Murdock. 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.

I'Mii in Civic Piiiie.
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.
