    SUPERINTENDENT
GAMBLE SIS
School Board Persuade Super
intendent to Remain With U.
At a meeting of the school board
Jast evening the matter of selecting
a superintendent came up.
Prof. Gamble was present and the
situation was carefully gone over be
tween him and the board and the
resignation which he had tendered
discussed by all the members and Mr.
Gamble. The board hesitated in ac
cepting the resignation and urged
upon Frof. Gamble that he withdraw
Lis resignation and consent to re
main another year with the schools
His good work during the time he
has been In the schools was com
mented upon by all the members of
the board and they were unanimous
in asking him to reconsider his res
ignation. After a lengthy discussion
of the matter and a full statement
of the reason why he had resigned
by Prof. Gamble, he consented to
withdraw his resignation and remain
with the schools provided he was al
lowed a vacation of two months this
6ummer. This the board cheerfully
consented to and in fact, urged upon
him so he will be at the head of the
Bchools for another year at least.
In connection with Prof. Gamble's
resignation It Is stated authoritative
V that there has been positively no
friction between him and the mem
bers of the board on any question
whatever. In fact, the board has not
had a superintendent with whom they
have gotten along more harmoniously
than with Prof. Gamble. There Is
BO question of policy between the
board and the superintendent nor has
there been the slightest disagreement
between them in any respect. The
reason for Prof. Gamble's resignation
was stated to the board very frankly
and it was purely personal and did
not relate to school management or
to any disagreement with the board
It Is a matter of congratulation to
the board and the city that Prof.
Gamble has consented to remain and
devote more time and energy to the
Bchools. He has made them among
the leading schools of Nebraska and
with another year, they will rank
even higher. Prof. Gamble occupies
a very high position in educational
circles and has done as much as any
one man in the state to build up the
sranuara or scnoiarsnip anu nis toss
would have been felt very severely
no matter how able a man had suc
ceeded him. He Is thoroughly famll
iar with the local situation and Intl
tnateiy acquainted with the ins and
outs of the conditions surrounding
the schools, hence he can give far
better and more Important service to
the schools than a new man could
He expects to spend several months
during the summer taking a needed
rest and vacation and will return to
the schools next fall In fine shape for
another school year. The action of the
board is retaining him and In indue
Ing a reconsideration of his reslg
nation is commended on all sides and
those interested In the schools are
pleased with the outcome.

Kvening Hand Concert.
Tho project of band concerts dur
ing the summer Is now under way
and doubtless will take well. The
M. W. A. band Is going to make an
effort to secure signers to an agree
ment to pay so much per month to
the band for two concerts a week, one
week day and the other on Sunday
The boys have been encouraged to
start the ball rolling by a number
of the business men of the city who
want some attraction on the street
during the summer days or evening
and it is believt'd enough can be got
ten up to have two concerts each
week. A paper to this effect will be
started In circulation In a few days
and everyone will be asked to help
It along. It Is a good thing and
will help Plattsmouth to succeed.

Fourth of July Celebration Sure.
The Fourth of July celebration is
sure go. me comm.uee wdich s
to solicit funds for the affair con;
slsting of Messrs. A. H. Koubtk and
William Egenberger, were out this
morning and found that enthusiasm
for the affair was great and contri
butions were liberal. Within a very
few hours $225 was subscribed and
this Is not nearly what will be raised
as many are yet to be seen, In fact,
the subscription Hsr is barely start
ed. The unanimous sentiment is to
raise enough to make the celebration
a rip-roaring one from start to fin
ish. It la the intention to secure
all the attractions possible and with
plenty of funds on hand which looks
likely now, this will be done and the
people given a show worth while. The
paper will be circulated until every
one Is seen and contributions no mat
ter what size are earnestly asked for
to aid In making the day the biggest
and grandest ever held here. The
committee should meet with success
and if the 280 Red Men do their
share It will be such a celebration as
will reflect credit on the order and
the city.
la Police Court.
Judge Archer used up some of his
celebrated brand of justice this morn-
ng when he soaked John Kelly to
the tune of Ave simoleons and costs
for being jagged. John looked upon
the rum demon when he was red
and the result was that Chief Ralney
took him to the cooler or as the Eng
lish have it, the goal. Hero he rest
ed up until this morning when he
got said amount of justice. This was
suspended provided John make him
self a fadeaway which he seems to
have done, going on to Nebraska City
or Omaha or. some other uncouth
place. John will know better than
to tempt the fates by getting loaded
in this man's town In the future as
it surely is some offense and amounts
to near malefaction.
The hearing of Grand Blunt charg
ed with grand larceny was to have
taken place this morning but was
continued one week on account of the
absence of material witnesses. It
will be heard before Judge Archer
on Monday, June 13, at 9 a. m.
The Jolly Six Hame.
The dance given last Saturday
night by the Jolly Six at Coates' hall
was another one of the brilliant suc
cesses which their dances have grown
to be. There was a large crowd In
attendance and a fine time had gen
erally. The music was furnished by
the M. W. A. orchestra and It was of
th e usual high class which that or
ganization always puts up. The danc
ing continued to a late hour and
merriment reigned supreme. All who
attended were more than pleased at
the fine time shown them and have
been loud In praise of the manage
ment for the splendid manner In
which they carried the affair out.
There will prooably be many another
dance given by this excellent organi
zation before it concludes its dancing
season.
Deserved Promotion.
Mrs. Leon Burton spent Sunday In
the city, the guest of G. F. S. Burton
and wife, returning to her home In
Omaha this morning. Mr. Leon Bur
ton left several days Blnce for Los
Angeles, Cal., having In charge a
McKeen motor car which he Is to de
liver to the San Pedro road. Since
his connection with the McKeen Mo
tor company, Mr. Burton has receiv
ed two promotions which Is a most
evcellent record. This has all taken
place within a few months and is
certain evidence of the ability of the
young man and the value placed by
the company on his services. His
friends In this city will be pleased
with his advancement.
In District Court.
The divorce suit of Nellie vs. Wal
ter Brltton was to have been heard
this morning before Judge Travis but
owing to failure to notify the defend
ant and his counsel of the fact, the
latter Judge M. Archer made such a
showing that the case went over un
til the next term of court. There
were a large number of witnesses on
hand to testify in the case, a number
coming down from Council Bluffs for
that purpose. The caso promises to
be a bitterly contested one and more
or less salacious in Its details.

CONSTABLE BUGS
IN HIS PRiSQNER
One Roberts at Greenwood Gets
Overdose of Red-eye.
Constable Jerome Andrus, Green
wood's doughty marshal, was In the
city yesterday, bringing down one '
Roberts who visited in his town Sat
urday and tried the brand of red
eye which Is on sale there. Roberts
took on many and divers drinks of
the extract of chained lightning and
then developed Johnson-Jeffries tend
encies. Roberts became strong yea,
as strong as horse radish or stronger
and resolved to put the saloon, Mar
shal Andrus and the entire male pop
ulation of Greenwood to the bad. This
was his boast and this he came near
doing. Jerome Is some brave man
and he assailed Roberts when the lat-
ter was at the height of his glory
and he came near reretting said
assail as Roberts looked to be a
winner in one round of three se
conds. However, Jerome prevailed
upon many a bystander to come to
his assistance and a 'grand struggle
ensued. Roberts had a thumb some
Jammed up by being caught In a
door according to reports but final
ly was thrown, bound, gagged and
strapped by the sum total of seven
strong-armed men who upheld the
peace and dignity of the state of Ne
braska and the village of Green
wood. He was deposited In the city
calaboose after considerable exertion
and later arraigned before Justice
Hand who heard evidence of the
many malefactions and transgressions
of Roberts. Now be It known to all
men that Justice Hand Is some man
who opposes such unseemly and riot-
lous canduct In his bailiwick and
especially so by parties claiming other
towns as their residence, hence he
was indisposed to deal leniently with
Roberts. Roberts It can be remark
ed, en passant as the poet might
say, claims Plattsmouth as his abid
ing place all of which did not serve
to make his sentence any lighter.
Justice Hand commented severely up
on Roberts' reckless disregard of the
edicts of the law and sentenced hlra
to come down to jail and stay here
for sundry and divers days until he
could learn to look upon the strong
drink with a more considerate eye.
And It was to start Roberts on the
straight and narrow path via Hotel
Manspeaker, that Andrus was here.
First District Meeting.
There was to have been a meeting
of the Loyal Mystic Legion lodges of
the first district held in this city to
day but by some miscarriage on the
part of the executive officers of the
order in the state, the local lodge
does not seem to have had much in
formation as to the matter. In con
sequence there was no preparation
made for the meeting and only one
delegate arrived that being Dr. Town
send of Lincoln who came down only
to find himself alone and among
strangers. F. H. Steimker was the
local delegate to the meeting and
was at the train to welcome any
stray delegates who might drop In.
As neither he nor Dr. Townsend had
on badges or buttons or other em
blems of the order they passed one
another by and It took some time to
get them together. They finally met
at about eleven o'clock and went
through the formality of electing de
legate to the state convention to be
held at Hastings. Dr. Townsend was
an avowed candidate for that place
as he wanted to get an opportunity
to stir up the management of the or
der In the state and prevent any more
such failures as has taken place In
this case. None of the gentlemen
who were down town and who are
members of the order had any Idea
of how many lodges existed In the
district and in fact, seemed to be
decidedly in the dark on all matters
connected with it. The local lodge
of the L. M. L. A. is In good shape
and if all other lodges of the state
are as well managed as this there
would be no trouble.
The order is a good one but it
surely needs some changes at the top
so as to bring some sort of system
Into operation. Among the promi
nent members of the order locally are
Dr. E. W. Cook w ho took a great deal
of pains in getting the mlxup untan
gled this morning, J. C. Peterson, the
secretary and F. II. Steimker, the
delegate to the district meeting. Dr.
Townsend was chosen as delegate to
the state convention at Hastings and
promises to do something toward jar
ring the head officers up.
In District Clerk Robertson s office
this morning a suit in for enclosure
was filed, it being entitled the Liv
ingston Loan & Building association
vs. Frances Skoumal et al. The prop
erty covered by the mortgage Is frac
tional lots Nos. 16 and 39, In the
southeast quarter of the northwest
quarter of section 13, township 1L,

ST. LUKE'S CHOIR
sone SERVICE
A Fine Program Given Under
Direction of Choirmaster Austin
Lace of space yesterday forbade an
extensive mention of the very excel
lent closing song service of St. Luke's
choir given last Sunday evening at
that church. This service was far
and away one of the best ever given
in this city and reflected much credit
upon the choir and the fine training
which it has had at the hands of
Prof. Austin who has been choir
master for several years past. St.
Luke's choir has attained a most en
viable reputation in this part of the
state for Its superb work and this
reputation is due in a great measure
to the untiring efforts of Prof. Aus
tin. During the past winter there
has been a number of very fine song
services rendered, these services be
ing one of the attractive features
of Sunday service at the cBurch.
That of last Sunday evening was a
very carefully selected and splendidly
given one. The program was so ar
ranged that the individual members
of the choir had a chance to give
several numbers as well as the choir
as a whole. The opening number of
the program was "Behold, the Days
Come," by Woodward, a fine selec
tion for exhibiting the beauty and
strength of the entire choir. This
number was very excellently rendered
and showed well the steady work
which the choir has put in at prac
tice and the care and attention which
the members had given to Prof. Aus
tin's training. "If God so Clothes the
Qrass," a splendid bass solo was
given by Prof. Austin who was In
excellent voice and whose rendition of
the grand melody was superb. In
times past comment has been made
so much upon the excellent work of
the choir master that further com
ment here would be superfluous. The
choir gave "Comes at Times a Still
ness as of Even," also another num
ber of Woodward of superior merit.
Again the choir exhibited the mas
terly handling of the melody and gave
this number excellent execution.
C. W. Baylor who has been forging
to the front in this city as one of
Its most worthy singers gave "The
Choir Boy," by Armstrong, a very fine
and much appreciated selection. Mr.
Baylor's voice was In good condition
and his rendition of this air was
highly appreciated and enjoyed by all.
His singing is decidedly of a high
order and always Is 'received with
close attention from his audience.
Hymn No. 12 was given by the choir
assisted by the congregation and
quite well glveru Glen Scott, one of
the city's most promising singers,
then pleased the congregation with

let me help you plan it, including al!
"O, Loving Father," a grand sacred
solo by Teresa del Riego, more than
capably handled by Mr. Scott. This,
number proved to be up to the high
standardt set by Messrs. Austin and
Baylor who had preceded the young
man. He did fully as well as his
most sanguine friends had expected
In handling the number. The offer
tory for this occasion was played by
Mrs. Anna Britt and she maintained
the high reputation which she has
made in the past for this work. Mrs.
Britt Is a finished organist and her
work Sunday evening was fully up.
to the usual high standard. It was
a very pleasing number. "The Light
of Heaven's Own Day," a fine alto
solo, was the number which Mrs. H.
S. Austin had on the program and
she did quite as well with it as she
has ever done and all who have ever
heard her sing knows that she is one
of the best in the city. Mrs. Austin
has a very pretty and well trained
voice and her number on this occa
sion afforded full opportunities for
using It to the best advantage. Her
work was greatly appreciated by the
congregation. The program was
closed by a piece of choral work en
titled "When God of Old," given
by the assembled strength of the
choir. As a closing number no bet
ter could have been selected and the
work of the chorus on this number
was up to the usual standard set by
them.- Altogether the service was
suitable to be ranked with the finest
ever given In the city and reflects
great and lasting credit upon Prof.
Austin and the very excellent chorus
he has developed here.
Needs Attention.
There will have to be some work
done on the foundation for the old
civil war cannon mounted on the
court house lawn soon or it threat
ens to fall to the ground. The brick
foundation which has been under the
big piece of Iron Is slowly disinte
grating and falling apart caused part
ly by tho foundation settling and.
partly by the mortar between the
bricks crumbling and falling out. The
cement base under the cannon is bad
ly cracked and gives evidence of soon
giving away. The foundation should
be strengthened in some manner and
made sufficiently heavy to hold up
this relic of the bravery of the old
soldiers. The cannon has become a
landmark in Cass county history and
it should be preserved carefully. The
cost of repairing the foundation now
would be small and later it may have
to be entirely rebuilt at considerable
more expense.
The Majestic last night held an
amateur night and several very
good Btunts were put on by local
talent. First prize went to Messrs.
John Maurer and Emll Droege, who
did the. wrestling turn. This was a
very good act and both the young
men deserve much praise for their
work.
