Reports From All Section of County Say They Are Coming to
Plattsmouth For the Great Natal Day
A meeting of the Fourth of July
committee was held last night at the
Haymakers hall when the finishing
touches were put on the arrangements
lor the big day. The contract which
the concessions committee had made
with the Brown Amusement company
for a big seven days show In the city
was ratified and there were favor
able reports heard from all the sev
eral committees out.
The chairman of the committee, J.
E. McDanlel, severely criticised the
advertising committee for neglecting
its work and in fact, rounded up ev
erybody with a sharp stick, during
the course of the evening, lie seem
ed some peeved over some of the
work done but the end of the meeting
found harmony reigning and arrange
ments in line shape.
The work of preparing a program
of the several events will be com
pleted within a very few days when
the official programcs will he put out
and the public can know what to ex
pect. It will be a big show without
any question as the Drown company
has nine big paid attractions while
there will bo a number of local stunts
pulled off Including the wrestling and
boxing contests, tho big street par
ade, a long list of children's games
and attractions of many and various
other Borts.
The free attractions which have
been secured Include two big balloon
ascensions with parachute leaps from
a great height, and two thrilling
Blldes for life from the top of the
court house tower to the earth. These
four events will all be Interesting and
thrilling In the extreme and well
worth going many miles to see. That
they will be given Is assured as the
l!rown company Includes them In Its
contract with the lied Men.
The prospects for the parade are
very bright. There will be many
lodges In line with handsome floats
which will aid In advertising the sev
eral organizations and which will be
worth while. Many of the lodges
have already taken steps toward the
building of floatB which they will use
and some of them are expensive as
well as very handsome. The greater,
part of the merchants will be In line
with good floats which will be attrac
tive and which will place their bnsl
ness before the public. The differ
ent social bodies are asked to have
"men In tho parade wherever possible
and It Is hoped to make their feature
one of the great attractions of the
day. The committee wants to make
good on Its promise of a mile long
parade and If the merchants and the
commercial club will ginger up and
help out a little this will be done
and then some. The greatest ad
vertlsenient for tho city will bo a
grand parade which will show peo
pie how rinttsmouth Is coming along
and the thing to do is to get in line
and make it show.
Good speakers will be provided for
the occasion and those who delight
In oratory will hear some eloquent
and able addresses. Judge A. J. Itee'
eon has been selected as tho chair
men of the speechmaklng and he will
present the several orators. , The
committee Is Informed that Judge A.
L. Sutton of Omaha will be present If
possible while lion. Hugh A. Myers
also of Omaha, Is regarded as almost
certain to be on band and speak
Judge II. D. Travis of this city will
certainly be on hand and deliver a
speech and It Is hoped to have some
tlouuent reader read that tle-mhon
ored and historic document tho
Declaration of Independence. These
exercises will probably be had In the
morning.
During the time the speaking Is
In progress, children's hour will pre
vail and the little folks will be given
a free rein to enjoy themselves and
have their races and games. They
will be so located as not to Interfere
with the orators. A good program

while at work on the farm and the

GREAT
HERE TIE FOURTH
has been prepared by the committee
and handsome prizes will be given.
A portion of the free attractions
will be given In the afternoon and
the boxing and wrestling contests
will take place then. Two rattling
good wrestlers have been secured for
this event and It promises to be worth
while. The boxing will also be an
exhibition of cleverness which will
be worth seeing.
The committee decided to hold the
smaller bills for the great event un
til the paper for the Brown company
was on hand when that will be put
out, together with the small bills.
This will be within a very few days.
One of the pleasing features of the
evening was an arrangement by which
J. C. York, Wm. Gravett, Bert Thom
as and Charles Truman will start out
Monday morning like Indians of old,
In war paint and feathers and riding
In a spring wagon behind the team
of mules belonging to I. J. Decker
who kindly tendered the use of his
team for the work. These gentlemen
will make the eastern part of the
county and bill the big show every
where with a view to getting a mon
ster crowd. The members of the
party kindly tendered their services
and agreed to pay their own expen
ses for tho Journey, something which
Is much appreciated by the commit
tee.
A. C. Tulene was present and he
and the. committee arrived at a sat
isfactory adjustment of the difficul
ties which existed over the merry-go-
round question and the Tulene Bros.,
are now heart and soul for the wel
fare of the big show.
It has been proposed since the
meeting to Rave a special train run
Into this city from Union and Nehaw
ka and this matter will be taken up
today. If It Is possible such a train
will be secured to leave Union about
nine o'clock In the morning. Visi
tors from that section report that an
Immense crowd will come if the train
can be secured and it Is probable that
something In this line will be done.
Reports from Iowa are very encourag
ing and there Is every Indication of
a very large attendance from near
Glenwood, Pacific Junction, Bartlett
and as far south as Perclval and Mc-
I'aul. The free ferry Is widely adver
tised and promises to do the work.
Altogether the outlook for a great big
crowd la splendid.
In the evening a grand ball will
be given at Coates' hall, this to be
under the direction of A. II. Koubek,
and It promises to be a great suc
cess. Mr. Koubek Is a young man
of much experience In handling dan
ces and he promises the Red Men
that this affair will be a complete suc
cess. Excellent music has been se
cured for the occasion, the M. W. A.
orchestra being engaged and every
step taken to Insure a fine time for
home folks and visitors alike. The
dancing will start likely about nine
thirty o'clock In the evening.
An especial request Is made by
the committee that business houses
and residences decorate for the day
and that Plattsmouth put on glad at
tire. Let every citizen take some
pride in showing visitors that this city
knows how to get up a Fourth of
July celebration and how to put on
Its glad rags when the time comes.
Decorate and make the city look like
a festal place.
It Is said many of the merchants
are arranging for grand Fourth of
July windows which will display their
wares and which will be in keeping
with the great day. Some handsome
displays are promised and the crowds
will be given something to keep them
on the move all day. This Is the right
spirit and from no won, if everyone
puts their shoulder to the wheel,
July 4th, the biggest, grandest and
most successful celebration ever
given here will take place. Do your
part!
Militia Company l.fkcly.
The task of organizing a mllltla
company which Trof. Stonehocker un
dertook soino days since, is getting
along nicely, ho having the names of
some forty boys who want to join
the company. The least which can
be taken in Is fifty and about ten
more aro needed. It seems likely
that these will be forthcoming and
that Plattsmouth will soon have a lo
cal company of the Btate guard. Mr.
Stonehocker has been making a very
strong effort to organize tho company
and has spared no time nor pains to
interest the boys In the matter. He
Is pleased to know that they take
such an interest and hopes to secure
the necessary signatures In a few days
to complete the company.

EPHUH LEAGUE
Miss Lillian Thompson Enter
tains the Leaguers.
From Saturday's Daily.
The pleasant home of Miss Lillian
Thompson was thrown open last ev
ening to the members of the Epworth
league who held their business and
social meeting upon the pretty lawn
at that place. There was a very large
attendance of members, some fifty
five turning out and enjoying the
splendid program prepared and the
hospitality of Miss Thompson. The
social was considered by all who at
tended as one of the most pleasant
social events of the season and when
it was over Miss Thompson had the
pleasure of knowing that she sent her
many guests away In a thoroughly
satisfied mood.
The business meeting was opened
by prayer by Rev. V. L. Austin and a
song by all those present. After the
conclusion of the business of the ev
ening, a splendid program was had,
It having been arranged by the host
ess. This consisted of a solo bv Miss
Thelma Denson which was duly ap
preciated, Miss Denson being a pleas
ing singer. Miss Clara Austin who
is also a charming singer delighted
and entertained the assemblage with
another solo and this was followed by
an Instrumental solo by Miss Ruth
Chapman being a fine musician. There
were also two very fine Instrumental
solos rendered by Misses Mlna Their-
olf and Francis Whelan both of whom
rank very hibh rs musicians and
both numbers being much appreciat
ed by the audience. Prof. W. G.
Brooks of Caldwell, Ida., favored the
gathering with a very fine solo, he
being an excellent singer and one of
marked ability. Mr. Jennings Seiver
who is also one of the most pleasing
singers of the city, was on the pro
gram and delighted the large audi
ence with his clever singing. The
Misses Mildred and Amy Cook who
are two of the finest vlclii luts in
the state, gave the audience some
very pretty and taking music and
won their way Into the hearts of all
music- lovers present. Miss Edna
Wray who Is rapidly coming to the
fore as a singer with a very sweet
voice, was another who favored the
leaguers with a pretty solo while
Don C. York closed the singing por
tion of the program by a brilliant
and highly appreciated bass solo.' Mr.
York Is so well known that to com
ment upon his magnificent work,
would be superfluous. E. II. Wes-
cott who Is an excellent pianist, fav
ored the gathering with a fine solo
which closed the program. Through
the entire program the guests were
kept In a state of lively anticipation
of the next good number to come and
when it had been finished, the uni
versal opinion prevailed that It could
not have been Improved upon. A
large number of spectators stopped In
front of the lawn and enjoyed huge
ly the several selections as they were
rendered.
Following the program refresh
ments, dainty and appetizing were
served the guests and It was a late
hour when they wended their way
homeward, more than pleased at the
splendid time which had been had.
Roy Thompson, a brother of the host
ess, was among the guests of the oc
casion, he coming down from Omaha
to be present at the gathering.

CASS MITT
HAS HEW JAIL
Citizens Send Up Structure For
Use in Future.
Cass county had a brand new jail
donated by the enthusiastic citizens
of Union who have gotten together
and shown their patriotism in no
small manner. It is fully as strong
and durable as the present magnifi
cent structure and from its lofty po
sition on the south steps of the court
house, it presents a thrilling sight
and one well calculated to arouse
the latent pride of the public.
The structure was moved to its
resting place this morinng early,
some young man bringing it down
from the Missouri Pacific depot over
which it arrived, and unloading it
at the court house. It is a handsome
frame structure and was built latticed
with strong pine bars running up and
down and across the three sides of
the building while the floor is also
barred and striped with massive pine
timbers. The door In one corner of
the building Is a great, strong one
made of half inch pine boards with
powerful leather hinges while the
door Is fastened with a leather hasp
and a monster steel padlock. One
end of the structure Is solid pine and
upon this Is nailed a surplus padlock
above which Is the mystic inscription
"Emergency padlock" with a key for
the same to be used when the pris
oners break the original lock. The
top of this Imposing structure Is gar
nished with the inscription "Improv
ed Cass County Jail. Donated by the
citizens of Union."
Certainly It Is some jail and ranks
well with the present joke which the
county is rapidly converting into a
place for playing hide and seek. The
good people of Union appreciate the
condition Cass county Is in and they
have gone to great lengths to help
out. The commissioners will doubt
less appreciate the splendid spirit
shown by the good folks of our neigh
boring town and accept their assist
ance in the spirit It Is tendered. A
delegation of citizens from Union who
were In town this morning had a
handsomely engraved leather medal
to go to the commissioner who would
tand by their gift and be photograph
ed. V. II. Puis, Mt. Pleasant precinct's

past and has been one of the good
friends whom the management has
relied upon. He Is always a welcome
visitor here and will find the latch
string on the outside for him.

Mrs. E. L. Polln was the scene of
merriment Thursday evening when a
number of their daughter, Miss
Helen's little friends assembled at
the Polln home and tendered her a
very pleasant surprise. To say the
young lady was surprised would be
putting it mild, but she soon recov
ered and gave them a royal good
time.
The usual games were played, va
rious amusements were entered into
with much interest and enthusiasm
on the part of guests and hostess and
occasioned considerable frolic. So
cial conversation reigned supreme, of
course. A delicious luncheon which
had been prepared by the young"
lady's mother was served and to
which the guests and all did ample
Justice. All in all, it was a most
delightful occasion and one which

Wants Special Train.
From Saturday's Dally. t
Attorney Charles L. Graves of Un
ion spent a few hours In the city
this morning, coming up from his
home on professional business. Mr.
Graves who is an enthusiastic Red
Man is taking a deep interest In the
projected Fourth of July celebration
In this city, and is an enthusiastic
advocate of a train from Union and
Nehawka on the morning of the
Fourth In order to furnish a handy
means for the many visitors from
that section to get into the city at a
reasonable hour and see the celebra
tion. The present morning train
leaves Union at such an early hour
that it is Inconvenient and he wants
arrangements made to run a train
from there about eight or nine
o'clock. He has the matter up with
the Missouri Pacific agent at that
place while the local committee will
take the matter up here. It is his
opinion that a large attendance wilt
be secured if this train is run. Mr.
Graves also will look after advertis
ing the big show In his city and took
down a large supply of the large bills
for that purpose. He returned to his
home this morning on' the 10:28
train.
Uncle Peter Kell of Cullom Is In
the city today on business. Uncle
Peter recently returned from a trip
through northern and northeastern
Nebraska and reports crop prospects
as rather poor throughout the state.
He disagrees with the crop experts
who look fo rblg crops and thinks
they will be rather small. He return
ed home this afternoon.
