Seal My commission expires Mar. !2tu, 1U15 WUhite-Tnrkermaii Meeting. The series of revival meetings to be conducted by the Christian church in the big tent which stands on the lawn north of the court house will begin Wednesday evening of this week. Word comes from Evangelist Wilhite, saying that a part of the evangelistic team will be here Wed nesday to begin the Plattsmouth meeting. He also states that owing to the fact that the whole town of Guthrie, Ky., is accepting Christ, it will be impossible for him to reach Plattsmouth before Saturday. While we rejoice in this good news from Guthrie we are sorry that Mr. Wil hite cannot be here the first night of the meeting. But Mr. and Mrs. Tuckerman will be here and take charge as stated above. Mr. Moore, the pastor of the church, will likely do the preaching for the three even ings until the arrival of the evange list. Mr. Tuckerman will devote his time to the organization of a large chorus. Any one who will, regard less of their church connections, will be welcome In this chorus work, but members of any church choir in the city are especially invited to as sist In this feature of the work. Give in your name Wednesday evening to Mr. Tuckerman at the tent. On Saturday evening a rousing re ception will be tendered the evange list and his assistants. This recep tion will be held in the tent. An excellent program is being prepared for this occasion, which will be pub lished later. The ladies of the church will serve refreshments free to all visitors. The aim and desire is to make this reception thoroughly representative of the city in all its Interests. The coming of a man like Wilhite to any community means more than money can purchase or words can explain. Wherever he goes he demonstrates the power of the gospel of Christ to save men. The people of Plattsmouth and Cass county are cordially invited to en- Joy these meetings. Conrad Cend Wins Trize. Through an oversight yesterday no mention was made of the count ing of the buttons contained in the Jar at Wescott's Sons store. These buttons, which are the regular but ton used on the "Dutchess" brand of trousers, were in a sealed Jar, and Messrs. H. N. Dovey and Frank E. Schlater were chosen as a com mittee to count them. The work was done on Saturday morning last and the total number of buttons found in the Jar were 1,671. An ex amination of the stubs kept in the store showing the number guessed by each person revealed the fact that the number nearest the correct num ber was 1 ,650. This number was guessed by Conrad Cend of Cedar Creek, who won the prize of a fine $3.50 pair of Dutchess trousers. There were many guesses registered altogether, and they varied most re markably, ranging all the way from 300 to 10,000. As an advertisement for the Dutchess trousers the scheme proved a good one and as a means of securing a fine mailing list it was also effective. The Messrs. Wescott believe in advertising and they get results for their efforts. There were a large number of people who could not guess right and even the win ner was not so close to the right number as might have been sup posed. LOUIKVILLK. (Courier.) Willie Fitzgerald was up from Plattsmouth Tuesday. It is reported that Willie thinks seriously of sign ing with the medicine show.

At the German Lutheran church, on Wednesday, September 1, occured the marriage of Miss Louisa C. Kraft of Louisville and Herman W. II. Meyer, a prosperous young farmer of Rushin, Neb. Rev. Theo. Heart man performing the ceremony ac cording to tho rites of the German Lutheran church. Little Harry Jacobson received a very painful accident Monday even ing. Ills brother Paul was putting hay down from the hay mow. Harry Argue Over North Pole, One Fred Webster last evening became too friendly with John Bar leycorn with disastrous results to himself. Fred, it would appear, is, or rather was, one of the men en gaged in the apple packing industry in the city, and yesterday being somewhat of a dull day in his line, he put in most of it st-eklng to ac cumulate various brands of malt, spirituous and vinous liquors. When the eventide drew near Fred had nearly as much as he could conven iently handle, or as the poet has so aptly phrased It, he "was pretty well loaded." By the time It came around for supper he hied him to his hos elry on the lower end of Main street and sat him down alongside one of his fellow workers a man. who had worked with him for several years apast and they entered into what is coloqulally known as a "dispute." Fred maintained that Peary had the pole, while his colleague politely in sisted that Cook seen it first, or some equally obstruse proposition worried them, for presently Fred conceived that his friend has emitted a casus belli and he rose up and smote him a resounding crack upon the Jaw. Under ordinary circumstances man kind Is prone to resent such assaults, but In this case Fred's friend did not do so, but politely arose from the table and left the room. As he marched out Fred remarked with much satisfaction, "There, I give him one crack," and the rest of the meal was consumed in silence. After supper was over and the guests had assembled In the mam moth rotunda of the hostelry, Fred's boss, scenting the trouble from afar, appeared and incontinently "fired" both men for their scandalous mis conduct. Then did Fred wax wroth and he vowed by the great horn spoon that he would even up. So goes he forth like Alexander the Great, seeking more worlds to con quer, and in front of Barnes' res taurant he meets up with his erst time friend and seeks to renew hos tilities. The friend demurred and suggested Fred leave him in peace while he was whole, which caused Fred to get peevish and to use lan guage utterly unfit for publication. Following this he marched in battle array against his imaginary foe and would perhaps have severely chas tised him had it not been the foe smote him in the neck and spun him around like a top, administering a severe kick to. his posterior as he did so. Then came ye viligant cop and both men were gathered in and haled to gaol. Here the valiant Freddie was Incarcerated, while the other man, stating how came it to be and having ample proof that he was in the right, was let go. This morning Fred was haled before Judge Archer, listened to his wayward course and lectured him severely upon conduct so unseemly and so unbecoming a gentleman and a scholar, adminis tering a fine of five simoleons and costs, which he suspended if Freddie would leave the community for the community's good. This he has tened to do and the place that knew knows him no more. School Dnys.
