SATTLER NAMES HEM, HE 291 AS WEED DM Ask That Property Owners and Others to Cut Weeds and Assist in Improving the City. Mayor John P. Sattler desires to announce to the public that he, has set apart next Wednesday, June 29, as Weed Day, and he asks the prop arty owners of I'lattsmouth to turn out and cut the weeds In the Btreets Jn front of their premises, and on the lots which they own. Under the pro visions of an ordinance which was paused last year the cutting of these weeds can be done by the city and the cost taxed against the property adjoining which the work is done. To save the cost property owners are urged to get busy and clean up on Wednesday next. If this Is not done the city will take up the matter and do the work and the cost will be levied In taxes against the property. Save costs and cut the weeds your self the Mayor declares. The near aproachlng of the Fourth of July with the big celebration Is enough to caune the peoplo to take some action toward cleaning the city up. There will be a large number of visitors In the city and It Is to the credit of everyone to have the streets and property clean and In good shape. Let It bo said that Plattsmouth will the wcedless town on July 4th. There are some streets on which the 'weeds have been allowed to grow for sev eral weeks past and they present a very untidy and unsightly appear ance. These should bo cut down, If for no other reason than to show the strangers that 'he4 city la peopled with clean and neat peoplo.

DIUCJiMII Hl the property owners fail to do them selves, and to keep a careful check pn the cost, later putting it Into the tax levy against the property. This means that the cost of the work will be considerably higher than It would be If done by the Individual, and It would be in the nature of a penalty which can be avoided by a few hours work. There should be steps taken to clean up the alleys through the bus iness center. Some of these are In a very bad condition, there being filth and rubbish piled Indiscriminately about and a most disagreeable odor arising therefrom. This should be cleaned up If for no other reason than for the public health, but with the coming of a large number of strangers to the city, pride should operato to cause the merchants and property owners to clean up. Let Plattsmouth put on a gala dress for this occasion, and let It be spick and span In new and clean clothes. Bus lnesH reasons alone should he sufl clent to cause the men Interested In the public welfare to get busy and clean up. ,, Mayor Sattler wants It distinctly understood that he Intends to enforce the weed ordinance against everyone allko and he will also take up the alley and street cleaning proposition with a view to giving the big crowd which will be here the Fourth a pic ture of a pretty and neat city. The people should second his alms with thoir endeavors and make the city a. handsome one and one which the visitor would like to live In. Clean up Plattsmouth and cut the weeds and do It now.

Sokol Turners Training for the Fourth of July Another good strong attraction for the Fourth of July seems to be as sured In the shape of a grand turn ing exhibition by the Bohemian Turners. Arrangements were tacit ly made last evening to have a class of some twelve members of this or ganization which is known as the T. J. Sokol give as exhibition drill lasting about half an hour on the streets during the day, the class to be accompanied by the M. W. A. band in music. The class will be under the direction, of Prof. Louis Jlran, one of the best directors of such events in this section of the country and a recognized authority in Bohemian athletics. There Is no more handsome spec tacle to be presented than a well trained turning class in the drill and the T. J. Sokols have such a class. The boys have regulation athletic uniforms and gymnasium suits and the drill will be given just as it Is presented at the national turnfests of the organization. This promises to be one of the beBt attractions which could possibly be secured and will reflect much credit upon ,teh mem bers of the class and the directors. , . .The members of the class will put In all their spare time between now and the Fourth In drilling and they promise to put on a stunt .which w ill be highly satisfactory to the public and which will form a very entertain ing feature of the day's program. There Is also a possibility that the German Turnersjwill be able to put on a drill also, although this has not yet been arranged for. The drill will not be in any sense competitive but would be exhibitions of fancy evolu tions and manuevers which will be both pretty and Instructive. The German Turners have a strong class and would .make a fine showing should they decide to take the mat ter up. XKIMWKA. i (From the News.) Mrs. S. E.

The team took fright at some thing and started for the stables on Fifth street near the pop factory. Owing to the brake being set they could not make the speed they would otherwise but they made a noble effort and caused a scurrying to get out of their' way on the part of the vehicles along Main street. They dashed up the main thoroughfare toFlfth where they turned north and were captured In front of Hassler's blacksmith shop by Frank Svoboda who gave a fine exhibition of nerve by climbing into the back end of the wagon and getting hold of the reins which he speedily used to bring the horses under control.

H. Wiese of South Omaha Is Here to Look Oyer Plans, For Pos toff ice. J. H. Wiese, a prominent contrac tor, of South Omaha, is spending the day in the city examining the plans and specifications for the new post office building, and Is looking over the site for the same. Mr. Wiese is somewhat puzzled over where to get the earth to fill in the lots at the side of the building, and has been casting about for some place to secure it from. A number of projected Im provements which will be made this summer and fall will leave a lot of waste earth which he can get, and he has several places in view in which to obtain the earth. He is also of the op,n,on that the approprlatlon of ,50,000 Is too small for the size and character of the building which the plans and specifications call for, and believes that a good deal of difficulty will be experienced In getting a re liable contractor to bid on the work within the limit of the appropriation. This is also understood to be the view of a number of oleal con tractors who have been looking over the, plans, and may prove a serious Rtiifnhlinir hlnck' in r rvrrmlptine' the strcture as planned - - . Jt s 8a,d tQ be tnei)ranlre of the department flt Washington to decline ' order..work done unless-the ilds !come wltnln the llmit3 of th4 I prlatIon and when thts lj the cas6( the bids are announced and the con tracts let immediately." If the bids exceed the appropriation, the usual plan Is to get the lower contractors together and make such changes as .iiminato tho cvtro rnat n thtt same. This latter plan would suit the people of this community very well 83 they want a good building and are willing to wait a short time to get one. Mr. Wiese Is a contractor of considerable experience in public works and doubtless will nave a low bid on this work. He realizes that he will have strong competition from the local contractors who have been fig uring on the work for some time past. The presence of the several contractors leads to the belief that the commencement of the work is not far away, something which pleases the public. Mrs. Heenan and George B. Smith arrived in the city this morning from their home at Cheyenne, Wyo., to make a visit with D. B. Smith and family. The young man Is a grand son of Dan and his estimable wife and is a very smart and bright boy. Copyright Hart Schiffner of Hart, Schaffner & Marx . Showed for the Bride.

Trlllety's barber Bhop, as the shiner, last night sustained a pain ful Injury when he Inadvertently ram med his right arm or elbow into an eelctrlc fan which was humming away at the shop. The boy who is a son of Street Commissioner Rebal and who is a nephew of Mr. Trillety, was engaged In celanlng the windows of the shop and drawing his arm back, happened to thrust the' elbow into the fan. Instantly It cut a sharp gash in the member. The aid was badly scared and promptly fainted. He was soon revived and a surgeon dressed the injury. It is not consid ered dangerous and he will probably be all right within a few days. Dr. Thomas' Eclectic Oil Is the beBt remedy for that often fatal disease croup.
