GETTING REAM FOR TIE BIG
CELEBRATI Oil IRE FOURTH
Redmen Appoint Committees to
Celebration Ever
Plans for a monster Fourth of July
celebration are commencing to take
definite form now and the meeting
of the committee last evening made
Bome of the preliminary moves for
arranging for the grandest and best
celebration ever held in the city.
There was quite a large attendance,
many of the members of tbe Red
Men being present in addition to the
members of the committee. Great
enthusiasm is manifested and the
burden of tbe talk was that an unit
ed effort should be made and the af
fair pushed to a grand and successful
consummation.
Chairman McPanlel, Secretary
Koubek and Messrs. Oravett and
Hinrlchscn were present, Mr. Egen
berger of the committee being ab
sent in Iowa and unable to attend.
The committee which was appointed
to secure a band for the occasion re
ported that the M. W- A. band could
be secured for a stated sum which
was to be Increased twenty dollarB
provided the band had to march out
to the base ball park In the morn
ing and evening. Considerable dis
cussion was had over this matter and
a good deal of figuring indulged in
as to whether the additional expense
"would be Justified by the returns.
The matter was not finally disposed
of, Chairman McDanlel being in
structed to take up negotiations with
the band again and try and secure
more favorable terms. The general
opinion of the committee was that
the M. W. A. band should be se
cured and some suggested securing
tnore bands. The matter will prob
ably be deposed of at the next meet
ing of the committee but It Is sure
that good music and plenty of It
will be secured as this was consid
ered one of the big features of the
celebration.
Mr. Hlnriehson who was a com
mittee to look, after a merry-go
round or flying jenny, reported that
Messrs. Tulene had their new ma
chine practically completed except
painting and this would be looked
after at once so that It will be In
shape for the fourth. They had
several offers from outslile points of
a concession but preferred to remain
here and were willing to pay a flat
rate of $20 for the concession for
the day. It was suggested that this
machine could be set up on Friday
and run on Saturday as well as on
Monday and that an additional small
sum for this privilege might be rea
lized. Mr. Hlnrichsen was Instruct
ed to take the matter up further
with the Messrs. Tulene and report
Bt the next meeting. The Tulene ma
chine Is the new patent which those
gentlemen have been building re
' centiy and is without doubt far the
superior to any other now on the
market. That It will do a fine busi
ness cannot be doubted and a deal Is
certain to be closed with them.
Councilman Oravett reported that
be had Interviewed the several mem
bers of the council and the mayor
and that there was po doubt of se
curing permission to use the streets
on the fourth provided no gambling

Held in This City.
or "skin games" were permitted.
This led to a full discussion of that
subject and the entire committee
was of the opinion that nothing of
that kind would be tolerated. It
was decided to give the widest pos
sible publicity to the fact that this
celebration was to be clean and of
high moral character. There would
not be any gambling or other species
of disreputable games allowed by
the committee and if any was at
tempted the committee would see to
It that it was stopped at once. Only
the very highest class of attractions
will be secured and nothing which
can offend anyone will be permitted
with the knowledge or consent of the
committee. Chief of Police Ralney
was present and stated that he would
not allow gambling devices to oper
ate nor any Bcheme for fleecing the
unawary to go on.
Mr. Koubek from the committee
on finances reported that the can
vass was not near completed but al
ready the committee had a handsome
amount subscribed and that $254 of
this had been paid as subscribed. He
was instructed to turn this over to
Treasurer Wra, Hlnrichsen who is to
deposit it In a bank Bubject to check
on approval of the committee. The
committee expects to complete Its
rounds In a few days and by the
next meeting to be able to report the
exact amount on hand and subscribed
and what the probable Income will
be. Indications In this respects are
figured to be very flattering.
Messrs. Hlnrichsen and Oravett
reported that they had conferred
with Manager Ilrantner of the base
ball team and that he would pay the
committee ten per cent commission
on the receipts provided the com
mittee would offer a prize for the
winner, advertise the game and have
the band play at the games. Accord
ing to the figures submitted the com
mission would amount to from $20 to
$25. The committee figured that
the band would cost $20 extra, the
advertising some additional and a
prize of from $10 to $25 besides the
cost of looking after the receipts
which would be a losing proposition
for the committee. Accordingly, the
matter was ordered to be further
considered and the ball team ad
vlscd that the committee would ad
vertise the games and use the band
as far as Seventh and Pearl streets
to start the crowd to the grounds for
the sum of $10. This was considered
by the committee as the best it could
do in the matter.
Chairman McDanlel made what
struck the committee as an excel
lent suggestion and that was to nave
a portion of the prizes set aside for
a children's department. He sug
gested that some side street such
as Vine or Pearl be selected and the
children permitted to hold a little
celebration of their own there with
prizes suitable for the events. The
suggestion met with a hearty recep
tion and will be put into effect. A
committee consisting of Messrs. O.
P. Monroe and Roy Taylor was
named to arrange such a program
A

land to see that the little folks have
'a great time that day.
The matter of a wrestling match
was discussed and it was decided to
keep on looking around for suitable
I men for this event.- Lee Flckler is
considered one of the sure entries
and he is a good amateur wrestler.
The names of a number of others
were suggested and it was decided to
ask the public to send in the names
of any available wrestlers to William
Hlnrichsen who is In charge of that
part of the affair.
The matter of a parade was then
brought up and it was decided to
hold one. On suggestion of Chair
man McDanlel the sum of $45 was
set aside as prizes for floats, to be
divided into three prizes of $25, $15
and $5 for the first, second and third.
It was suggested In this connection
that all societies be Invited to par
ticipate in the parade and furnish
a representation of their order. The
Red Men would be barred under all
conditions from participating In the
prizes. The shops were tobe parti
cularly requested to join In the par
ade, it being reported that they had
a number of frames for floats al
ready made and o nhand. A com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Wm.
Oravett, George Luschinsky and W.
Uudlg was selected to take this part
of the matter up and push it to com
pletion. It was also decided to as
the merchants of the city to partici
pate and to furnish appropriate floats
to their business. With the active
participation of the different socie
ties of the city, the Burlington shops
and the merchants it Is believed the
grandest turnout ever attempted In
the city can be arranged. It was de
cided that a set of rules covering the
floats should be drawn up and pub
lished in ample time so that all
would understand Just what the
prizes were for and the points which
would govern the award. What the
committee seemed to want In the
float line was that they should be
emblematic of the business represent
ed and original. A merely beautiful
turnout would not be awarded the
prize under the rules but something
which suggested an original Ideal or
which related to the exact character
of the business represented would be
given the preference. The rules will
be printed probably after the next
meeting.
The matter of a boxing contest was
brought up and it was decided to In
vestigate this with a view to giving
sucn an exhibition, It being distinct
ly understood t was a boxing match
and not a rought exhibition. A com
mittee consisting of Charles Grimes
and Win. Hlnrichsen was chosen to
take up this matter in connection
with the wrestling match ' and see
what could be done wth both of
them. The names of young and skill
ful boxers and wrestlers can be given
either to Mr. Grimes or Mr. Hlnrich
sen. They must be amateurs and
local talent will be preferred In all
cases. The two exhibitions are to
be clean ahd healthy athletic sports
and no roughness will be tolerated.
The Haymakers were present with
a committee and announced that
they would have an exhibition In the
parade which would be emblematic
of their order and which they guar
anteed to be the best in the line. The
committee to look after their exhibi
tion consists of Messrs. Henry Stull,
John Lowther and Charles Truman
and it is promised to be an original
show well worth going miles to see.

to have the celebration made up of
as many Plattsmouth, Cass county
and western Iowa features as possi
ble and wherever local Interests
could be made to profit they will be
favored- This is particularly true of
concessions, the spirit of the gather
ing being that local people should
get all concessions which they can
handle and that they should be pro
tected in their business. It is the
desire of the Red Men to have this a
distinctly Plattsmouth and Cass
county celebration and to make it a
hummer.
As an active committee on the

committee consisting of Messrs. J.

will be in better shape for outlining

Will Have Music.
William Barclay, the restauran-

who does not believe In standing
still. He has just purchased a fine
electric player-piano which will be
Installed very shortly in his cafe and
which will dispense sweet strains of
music to the patrons of the place
during the meal hours. It Is one of
the latest designs in automatic or
regular pianos, being a combination
of both and costs him $750. This
Is a considerable sum to invest for
music but Mr. Barclay considers it
money well spent. The new ma
chine is expected to be here In a
very few days and will constitute
quite an addition to the handsome
furniture of his place. Mr- Barclay
Is sparing no pains to make his place
an attractive and homelike one and
caters strictly to the high class of
patronage. Business has been good
with him and the public plainly ap
preciates his efforts to please them.

ADDITION TO THE

To be Built Immediately for Care
of Helpless Inmates. i
The grand lodge of the Masons
which has been In session in Omaha
for several days past clpsed Its gath
ering last night. The session has
been one of the largest attended and
most important in the history of the
order of this state. Among the many
acts which it did was that of ap
propriating $5,.r00 for an addition
to the Masonic home in this city. The
new addition will be used for the
care of paralytic and helpless inmates
and makes a much needed improve
ment. It is to be constructed at
once and will consist of an addition
of considerable size to the present
large structure. Heretofore the fac
ilities for caring for this class of
patients has been very poor and the
Increased room is much needed. In
addition to this action, the grand
lodge also Increased the tax for the
support of the home from 50 cents
to 75 cents per year which will bring
In about $4,000 more than hereto
fore;' All this money will be used
here In keeping up the expenses of
the home. This action makes the
home one of the largest and best in
stitutions of the kind In this part of
the country.
The Omaha nee in speaking of the
grand lodge says:
The fifty-third annual convention
of the Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons of Nebraska closed yesterday
afternoon following the election of
the grand officers for the coming
year. They are:
Harry A. Cheney, Creighton, grand
master; Henry Gibbons, Kearney, de
puty grand master;. James R. Cain,
Stella, senior grand warden; Alpha
Morgan, Broken Bow, grand Junior
warden; J. B. Dinsmore, Sutton,
grand treasurer; Frances E. White,
Omaha, grand secretary; G. A. Bee-
cher, Omaha, grand chaplain; E. W.
Brown, Lincoln, grand orator; R. E.
French, Kearney, grand custodian;
T. M. Davis, Beaver City, grand mar
shal; S. F. Whiting, Lincoln, grand
senior deacon; A. H. Viele, Norfolk,
grand Junior deacon; Reuben Forbes,
Omaha, grand tyler.
The attendance at this year's con
vention has been greater than at any
previous meeting In the history of
the Nebraska grand lodge, and those
who returned to their homes last
night said that the meeting had been
unusually pleasant. Much work was
accomplished yesterday. The time
was all taken up with the business
pertaining to the order. A $5,000
appropriation was made for the
building of an addition to the Ma
sonic home in Plattsmouth, for the
care of paralytic and helpless pa
tients. This Is a thing which the
Masons have never before been able
to do In Plattsmouth. The new pro
ject will enlarge both the building
nnd the number of tenants of the
home. The annual taxes for Nebras
ka were also raised from 50 cents to
75 cents, which means an Increase
of $4,000 a year. This money will
be used In supporting the home and
the Masons cared for there.
