They Visit the Burlington Shops, M. E. Smith Factory tni in the
Evening Attend Banquet Given in Their Honor
Plattsmouth Is quiet today. This,
it understood, is not its normal
condition, else had we not made
mention of the fact. It is rather,
however, a reaction that we are un
dergoing as the result of too much
hilarity yesterday and last night.
Yesterday, the first annual conven
tion of the Cass County Editor's as
sociation was held in this city and
in the evening the Plattsmouth Com
mercial club, in honor of the visit
ing editors, held its second banquet
at Coates' hall.
Early yesterday morning the news
paper men began to arrive from the
various parts of the county, and b
noon the entire contingent was pres
ent and ready for business. The
business session of the organization
was held in the afternoon and after
the regular business meeting and a
general discussion, the entire asso
ciation accompanied the president,
Editor Barrows of the News, to the
local Burlington shops, making a
tour of that institution and learning
-as much as possible about this, the
thief hive of industry in this city.
In their tour of inspection they were
guided by the various foremen of
the shops and there Is no doubt, '
from the tenor of their remarks later
in the evening that they learned
much that was of Interest to them
concerning car building and repair
ing. Another of the industrial instltu-
tions of this city that the visitors i
were made acquainted with, was the
shirt factory of the M. E. Smith
company. This place proved to be
a j)ofnt of considerable interest, es
pecially to Mr. Allen, of the Eagle
Beacon, who became very much at
tached to one of the machines that
they use there to sew on buttons.
Considerable surprise was exhibited
ly some of the visitors at the number
of the employes in this factory, and I
at the apparent prospect of enlarg
ing and becoming a great factory
that it displays.
The real entertainment of the
day was the banquet In the evening
that the ladies of the Presbyterian
church, under the auspices of the
commercial club, had prepared at
Coates' hall. About 7:30 the crowd
began to congregate at the rooms
of the Order of Elks, which body
had very kindly offered Us parlors
as a reception room for the guests,
and before the banquet, a quiet
hour was enjoyed by all, the time
being spent with billiards, music and
general discussion of the occasion.
. About nine o'clock the company
adjourned to the banquet room and
the assembly was called to order by
Toastmaster Byron Clark, who im
mediately gave place to Rev. Father
Shine, the latter invoking a short,
but impressive blessing.
Concerning tne supper itself, too
much cannot be said in praise of the
work done by the Presbyterian ladies
in preparing such a repast. Many
of those present had been guests at
occasions for more pretentious, and
these as well as others were unan
imous in declaring that the ban
quet was the equal of many that they
had known to be three and four
times as expensive."
When the supper was finished the
toastmaster Introduced Dr. J. S. Liv
ingston of this city, who, in behalf of
the mayor, who was absent, and on
the part of the city at large, made
the address of welcome and officially
turned over the keys of the city to
the visitors, assuring them at the
same time that should they be unfor
tunate enough to be cast In durance
vile, they need have no fear as the
county bnstlle was a structure of
such venerable design and architec
ture that there would be no difficulty
connected with making an escape
from the same.
On behalf of the visitors, Harry
Graves, the youthful editor of the
t'ninn Ledger, made the response to

the address of .welcome, speaking
with evident warmth of the feeling
that the occasion inspired in the
hearts of the visitors, for the men
of the commercial club, and the peo
ple of the city, and assuring those
present that the editors would use
their best efforts to' assist Platts
mouth in obtaining a new Jail.
There were two or three speakars
on the program last night who had
not been on the original program.
For reasons well founded for the
welfare of the Commercial Club,
politics were eliminated, and while
the Impromptu gentlemen spoke en
tirely without preparation, they cer
tainly did not suffer by comparison
with the studied efforts of those on
the original program. The subject,
"The Relation of the Court to the
Press," was given by Judge H. D.
Travis, of this city, at the moment
that he 'arose to speak, without any
preparation at all. He made a legal
argument and a powerful speech,
which would have sounded . well In
any court or any assemblage la the
land. Let him be heard again.
The next speaker of the evening
was Editor X. J. Ludi, of the Wahoo
Democrat, president of the Nebraska
State Press association, who spoke
upon "The Club and the Craft," and
discussed the problems of this and
similar cities as they appear to him,
epeaking of the great need that there
was for the citizens of the comniun-
ity to support the newspaper and to
see that the paper was a financial
success. iMr. Ludi, in the course 01 ;
his remarks, made the suggestion
that as the business men in this town
does not justify the operation of two
dally papers, it would be a good idea
for them to consolidate and amalga
mate and so on. This was supposed
bp many of those present to be in
the nature of o merry jest, rather
than a serious and sober-minded
suggestion, although it is just pos
sible that Mr. Ludi does not under
stand local conditions. Aside from
this facetious proposal, which is al
right when viewed in its proper light
Mr. Ludl's speech was a good one,
and greatly enjoyed. He closed with
a poem which we greatly regret not
having obtained for this issue, but
It was overlooked in the maU scram
ble succeeding the banquet.
The next speaker was Editor Allen
of the Eagle Beacon, who made an
Interesting talk on the "Country
Newspaper," telling of many prob
lems he- has dealt with. Mr. Allen
was followed by Chas. L. Graves, ex
editor of the Union Ledger, and a
newspaper man in Cass County for
many years. Mr. Graves told of his
first experience on the Plattsmouth
Herald in the days of the famous
John A. McMurphy, and went on to
recount the newspaper history of
the county as be can so distinctly
remember it. He told of the var
ious men and managements of the
Journal including the notorious Wil
liam Reed Dunroy, at one time Poet
Laureate of this section, and the 11
llustrlous Charles W. Sherman, for
many years editor here.
Editor Harrows, of the News, Rave
a talk In response to the "Exper
iences of a Newspaper Man" that
was interesting and instructing, tell
ing of the hard times in the early
days, when it was difficult for the
country editor to even get his sub
scriptions paid for in country pro
duce, and of the privations that he
himself had undergone in his early
struggles with Journalism.
One of the principal speakers of
the evening was the Hon. Paul Jes
sen of Nebraska City, who delivered
a talk dealing with the needs of this
and similar municipalities and with
the aspect that the law as with
relation to the citizens of the coni
m unity. There wore three things
emphasized by Judge Jessen as be
ing important for the small town
to look after, namely: The election
I of capable men to the local offices,1
the encouragement of the citizens of
the, town to see that the money
earned at home should be spent at
home, and the insistence that the
laws of the state shall be enforced
as they are enacted. This sentiment
on the part of the judge was heart
ily applauded, and all were sorry!
when he was obliged to leave to
catch his train.
The great Missouri Pacific rail
road, by the way, was the butt for
several merry jests on the part of
the speakers of the evening, especial
ly Toastmaster Clark, whose humor
was of the kind that makes them
all laugh.
Rev. C. A. Bur-dick, of f.ie recent
ly' launched "Religious Field Glass."
made a splendid appeal to the higher
office of the newspaper, the name
of his subject simply "tone' and the
appeal to the paper as a moral and
political force was a strong one.
. . Hon. A. J. Beeson was a speaker
who was in fine form last evening,
speaking on the power of the press
and imparting some new and appre
ciated ideas as to what the press can
do when the acting forces are right.
Editor Olive of the Weeping Wa
ter Republican, was one of the most
interesting speakers of the evening,
his address on "The Newspaper Man
at the Pi(e) Counter" appealing es
pecially to the practical printer.
Short toasts were responded to by
W. A. Robertson, who spoke on the
experiences of a young lawyer with
the press, and by J. L. RIchey of the
Journal, who spoke on the "Fire 1m
presslon" of a newspaper man.
The closing speech of the evening
was made by the Rev. Father M. A
Shine, his subject being "Co-opera
tion,'' and the masterly way in which
he handled the subject in hand made
a deep Impression on everyone. Fath
er Shine spoke of his own early
experiences as a printer's "devil" and
told of the numerous instances in
which he had caught figuratively
"hell'' for his unfortunate adventures
at the "pi" counter. He spoke with
great insight of the necessity that
the publisher, the reader and the
advertiser, should work together for
their mutual welfare, and made many
valuable suggestions along this line.
Father Shine is a speaker of power
and ability and displayed an evident
knowledge of his subject..
This address concluded the even
ing's entertainment and the crowd
broke tip at a late hour with manyj
good words for the club,
and the
evening in general.

To Remove to South Dakota. '
The Journal learns with the deep
est regret of the contemplated re
moval from the city to Edgemont, S.
D., of Councilman Fred Rezner of
the Fifth ward. Councilman Rezner
who was recently promoted to the
position of foreman of one of the
gangs at Edgemont, arrived in the
city last evening and Is making ar
rangements to remove his family
probably by Friday to that point.
He is a most excellent man and
during the brief time he had served
the people as a councilman, he had
made an enviable record for faith
fulness and fidelity to their inter
ests. His record in the council is
one of painstaking care and fidelity
to the Interests of the city and he
will be sadly missed. He will place
his resignation in the hands of May
or Sattler in a few days when the
matter of selecting a successor to
him will be taken up. Mr. and Rez
ner are two of the best citizens of
this place and their removal is a
cause for the deepest regret among
all who know them. It Is to be hoped
that their lines will fall in pleasant
places and that they will find their
new home as full of warm and ap
preciative friends as the place they
leave. The Dally Journal will ac
company Mr. and Mrs. Rezner on
their trip and will carry them all the
news of the city, among their new
friends. Mr. Rezner states that all
the bollermakere at Edgemont are
out on strike but that the company
has a large number of men working
In their places.

John A Whlteman, one of the best
citizens of Nehawka, was in the city
over night, coming up on the even
ing M. P. train and being a guest
at the Perkins hotel. While here
Mr. Whlteman paid the Journal a
pleasant and much appreciated call,
renewing his subscription for an
other year to the paper. Mr. White
man has been having a very good
winter and spring and ia feeling fine,
something which his many good
friends In this vicinity will be glad
to know. He departed this morning
for Omaha where he had other busi
ness matters to look after.
THE GREAT BALL
The Cigarmakers and the Bar-
tenders to Cross Bats
There was a time when all road
led to Rome, and that rule may still
be la effect so far as Rome is con
cerned, but Sunday afternoon every
road, lane, highway and byway of
this section of the county will lead
in straggling and snaky lines to and
from the cow pasture of Henry' Hin,
seven miles west of Plattsmouth on
the Louisville road, where, on a lit
tle bald-headed spot of near lawn, the
bartenders and the clgarmakers of
Plattsmouth will meet In the deadly
combat of a baseball game.
These same two belligenants came
together ten years ago, almost at
the same place, but.they played only
one Inning then, and the smoke art
ists carried away the score. In their
vest pockets. The first Inning cov
ered the whole afternoon and so a
second could not be played. At the
conclusion of that first inning, the
booze dispensers had eight runs,
three base hits and 102 errors and
the clgarmakers bad, in addition to
forty errors and thirty hits, exactly
for-elght runs. This score, bad ceBS
to the big league boosters, never
went on record but In spite of that,
nobody denies that It is the most re
markable showing ever made.
Even more remarkable than this
la the nerve of the bartenders of
Plattsmouth in once more asking
their vanquishers into the lists. One
prominent spigot artist Bald yester
day that the temperance agitation
throughout the country has since
strengthened their lines, Inasmuch as
they have several college bred wise
guys among their number now, and
that the negligence on the part of
the slum workers in overlooking the
evils of clgarmaking, that aggrega
tion has become a decidedly degen
erated bunch of ball twlrlers. The
least and the most that can be said
oi them therefore, Is that they are
cou. ageous and whether they trl-
1'inpii with wide open eyes or fall
in their everlasting baseball doom
with optics closed and pasted, they
arc not afraid.
Both, the bartenders' nine and the
cigarmakers' team have been prepar
ing for the past several weeks In
making the meeting a decidedly Joy
ous one. Arrangements have been
completed to have a refreshment
fountain, (never mind about the con
tents, busy body) at third base. This
is enough to make everybody in the
game want to play ball and get as
far as third, but whoever "meln
host" will be, he seems to have for
gotten to recokon with his guest,
for after third bnse is reached, it
is feared home base will never be
found. Howev-er, the fountain will
be there, and If the bartenders win
in the end and regain their standing
among baseball players over their
score of ten years ago, perhaps it
will go down in baseball history that
the fountain had something to do
with It.
Who will pitch, or who will ,uo
anything else at this highly remark
able game, has not yet been decided
so far as the lying press agents of
both teams are concerned. Little
practicing has been done of late in
spite of the early closing laws and
other freak legislation of Nebraska.
At eight o'clock the bartenders are
usually too tired to do anything and
the rush with which they are gen
erally made to wrestle ten minutes
before dosing time, has been so
great of late as to deny them any
time on the field after hours. The
clgarmakers too, are tired every
night for when they are not working
they go around and show their rivals,
the booze sellers, how friendly they
are. This, they contend, is nothing
more than a demonstration of chris
tian brotherly love and that they are
obliged to show It in order to avert
hard feeling on the diamond.
H Is plain, therefore, that the
game Sunday will look nothing, nay,
absolutely nothing, like the scrim
mage between Chicago and Detroit
or Yale and Harvard. Quite to the
contrary, it will probably have more
the appearance of the Vulus and the
Hottentots playing marbles in a
bowling alley.
Above all things It will be difficult
to get an umpire. The mayor was
suggested by the bartenders, but the
clgarmakers became suspicious and
the chief executive was looked upon
with disfavor. Nobody has since
volunteered to act, and It may be
that two umpires and a police forco
will be appointed from the crowd
that comes to boo the game.
The clgarmakers have Becral good
men who they say will make excel
lent pitchers, llerny Wurl, the big
cheese lord high everything among
nmoke toy makers, says that Tom
Kanka and Charles lladraba are the
tvVo best horse hide soakers that
ever came over the pike. He even
avers that the only reason they never
figured In magazine stories was be
cause the mutton headed editors had
never learned how to spell their
names. "
Then too, there Is' Emll Droege,
who will be put at the receiving end.
In addition to these tomes this long
line of greensward! artists, namely:
James Ptack, Emll Ptack, John Da-1
Jeck, Frank Cloldt. .Adolph Cechal.
Frank Burr, Herman Spies, and Vm.
Weber. The last two players, said
the manager, equalizes the team in i
measure and makes it semi-American.
Among these will be selected
those who will face the booze sellers
whose ranks do not contain names
as difficult to pronounce and keep
score with. '
The saloon men will bring to the
cow pasture the following bunch of
celebratles: J. E. McDaniel, "Bar
ney" Miller. Claus Speak, Henry
Tinnn, Fire Chief Anton H. Koubek,
the Egenberger family, including Ed,
Fred and perhaps another one whose
name has not been decided on; Lew
Russell, Fred Kunsman, Ed. Donat,
alias "Doodlesock,'' Ed. Polln. Bert
Thomas, Adolph Glese and William
llendrlckson.
The general and campaign manag
ers are keeping quiet as to how the
aides will line up but both predict
that it will be the most interesting
game ever witnessed anywhere on
the face of the earth. If the sun
does not go down too quickly, or the
comet does not hit the earth sooner
than is expected, as much as three
innings may be played.
Both sides to the conflict will leave
town on specially chartered wagons
and those who care to follow, might
do well to engage teams in advance
or else walk. The chances are that
there will be a big crowd there to
find out who is the strongest in the
eyes of the nation, the, jag Juice sel
lers or the smoke toy makers. The
game is called at 2 o'clock.
In County Court.
In county court this morning the
case of Jesse Blunt vs. The Chicago
Burlington & Qulncy Railroad com
pany and the Burlington Relief De
partment was tried to the court. Mat
thew Gerlng appeared for the plain
tiff, and Messrs. Byron Clark and
W. A. Robertson appeared as coun
sel for the defandant. The case Is
for the sum of $315 whclh the plain
tiff allages is owing him from the
defendants, he having been a mem
ber of the department when he was
Injured last summer. The trial of
the rase occupied all morning and
was an Interesting one, being stub
bornly contested by the attorneys

advisement.
Will Live in Central City.
Mrs. Washington Smith, who has
been In the city for several days with
friends and attending to business
matters, departed this morning for
Central City where her daughter re
sides. It is to be regretted that Mrs
Smith has reconsidered her deter
ruination to move to this city and
has made arrangements to dispose
of her property here. She expects
to make her future home with her
children. Her coming to this city
to reside had been looked forward
to with pleasant anticipations by her
many friends who will be sincerely
pained to learn of her change of
mind.

From Time of Arrival in City
They aie Kept on the Go' ,v
The Cast County Editorial associa
tion held a meeting last evening at
Coates' hall where considerable bus
iness of interest to the members was
transacted. There was a very largu
attendance of members, every paper
in the county being represented. Dur
ing the afternoon the visiting mem
bers were taken in charge by the
committee of the commercial club
appointed for that purpose and taken
over the city, visiting various points
of interest. They visited the Smith
company shirt factory ana were
shown through the plant by the ob
liging and handsome forlady of the
company, seeing the wonders of shirt
making in its various stages and
also the many handsome employ
es or the company. Tne visitors
were also taken to the Burlington
shops where General Foreman Hayes
dropped all his duties and went over
the large works with the party ex
plaining in detail the several shops
and their processes and pointing out
to the editors the process by which
the railroad keeps itself going. The
committee of the commercial club
feels under great abllgatlons to Mr.
Hayes and the several foremen of
the various departments for their
assistance in making the visit a pleas
ant one for the guests and they are
also under obligations to Superin
tendent of Shops Italrd for his many
courtesies which he extended. Later
the committee took the guests to that
picturesque and quaint rulny clept,
the county Jail and the editors were
allowed to Bee with their own eyes.
Just what kind of an institution Cass
county furnishes to keep malefac
tors in and the advantage to the
county in having a new and decent
Jail was pointed out. Altogether the
afternoon was made one of pleasure
for the visitors and the evening was
the grand culmination Is the splen
banquet at Coates hall, a full ac
count of which appears In other col
umns of this issue. The members
of the Cass County Editorial as
sociation were made to feel at home
here and are invited to come again
and often. They decided to hold
their next meeting at Union, the
commercial dub of that little city In
viting theni. The date was not set,
however, the club not having Indi
cated the date. ,
