Rev. Gade Preaches Most Eloquently at Presbyterian Church arid
Rev. W. L Austin Speaks at Methodist Church.
From Monday's Daily.
Yesterday morning a large con
gregation was present at the Pres
byterian church to hear Rev. Gade in
a strong and powerful sermon. Rev.
Gade delivered a very Impressive ad
dress and held the attention of his
congregation from the start of his
sermon until the final word was said.
It is a matter of gratification to the
church that the congregations have
been growing so steadily since the
new pastor-assumed the helm and
despite the hot weather the number
attending has steadily lncreasd.
Rev. Gade is carefully organizing
the forces of the church for aggresive
work during the coming summer and
fall along spiritual lines and he is
pleased and grateful for the Interest
which has been shown in his ef
forts. Rev. Gade intends to commence
the Fourth of July with a patriotic
address to which the public i3 invit
ed. The occasion is a timely one and
the address will be along the lines of
the welfare of the nation. Indica
tions are for the largest attendance
of any of the numerous very able ad
dresses which the pastor has deliv
ered and it is to be hoped that every
patriotic American will attend and
listen to the good words which he
will speak. A feature of this meet
ing will be singing by Miss Watters
of Grand Island who i3 visiting her
brother, R. O. Watters in this city.
Miss Watters Is a pleasing singer and
will thoroughly satisfy the public
with her selections.
On Sunday, July TO, Rev. Gade
expects to preach a sermon upon
"Gypsy Smith and his sermon The
Lost Christ." This will be a very
able address and weirwrofthy"of
hearing. Gypsy Smith is the famous
English evengelist and is much given
to lurid methods in getting the world
before the public. Rev. Gade has
carefully studied his sermon and his
comments upon it will be worth list
ening to.
At the Methodist Church.
Rev. W. L. Austin yesterday ad
dressed two large congregations at
In Police Court.
From Monday's Dally. .
A complaint was filed this morn
ing before Judge Archer by William
Andrews, an employe of the Tulene
Bros., who have been running their
merry-go-round down near the Bur
lington yards. William alleges that
one Ward Barr, who is not unknown
to fame, came down to the merry-go-round
full of red liquor and start
ed a riot or a near riot and came near
decimating the population there
abouts. This was something which
William did not approve of and he
remonstrated mildly with Ward who
stated his weight in pounds and
ounces and also by stone measure
and challenged William to mortal
combat. This is entirely contrary to
the preconceived ideas of William
and he demurred preferlng to see
the dread majesty of the law work
out its course. Hence the complaint.
Judge Archer who has a celebrated
brand of Justice always In stock to
deliver to malefactors, issued the
warrant and it was served upon Ward
who appeared and answered that he
was not guilty to the offense and he
wanted further time in which to pro
cure the attendance of spectators to
prove his Innocence. The court being
In a gracious mood consented to let
ting the matter go over until C p.
m., of this date when the linen in
question will be threshed out and
equal and exact Justice dealt out wtlh
an unsparing hand.
Our old friends John Doe and
Richard Roe are once more about to
burst into the limelight. Said John
Doe then and there being did enter
the several saloons of the city and
fill his hide with bug-Juice until he
became possesed of the idea that he
was stronger -than J. Jeffries or J.
Johnson ever hoped to be. He did
all this in company with two com
panions one of whom Chief Ralney
knowns as Richard Roe, first and
real name unknown. The parties
Journeyed up the street until they
were in front of the palatial office
building of the Piattsmouth Journal
when J. Doe who is some tall man
HI PLATIS-
the Methodist church. Despite the
heat of the day many were present
and the pastor was much gratified
at the interest displayed in the serv
ices. The morning sermon was de
voted to an exposition of the char
acter of Moses and it was a masterly
exposition of the manifold merits
which adhere to this great evange
list and leader of men. A feature
of the morning service was the work
of the choir which rendered with very
pleasing effect a grand anthem. The
work of the singers of the choir at
both the morning and evening ses
sions was particularly good and was
greatly appreciated by the large con
gregations. There were some fifteen
voices in the choir and the work was
excellently arranged so as to display
the best qualities of all.
In the evening Rev. Austin preach
ed upon Forgiveness, taking his text
from John 8:11 and he made a most
impressive sermon from this text
Framing his sermon to the end that
the enforcement of the law was his
theme, Rev. Austin pointed out that
the church as an institution should
not be relied upon to make the en
forcement of the laws compulsory
but that each individual should feel
it his Christian duty to see that this
was done. He cited the example of
Christ when the woman taken in
adultery was brought before hnn as
an example and exemplificatTon of his
meaning and he related the position
which Christ took in relation to the
enforcement of the law. His sermon
was a very effective and taking one
and was listened to with the deepest
attention.
The Methodist Sunday school will
observe Independence day on next
Sunday with appropriate services and
Rev. Austin will deliver a patriotic
sermon that evening. He will speak
upon "Christian Citizenship" and the
address is promised to be one of the
best delivered in years. The Journal
will endeavor to give a sketch of the
sermon after its delivery and re
gards it as one of the ablest to be
delivered in the city. A large at
tendance would be well satisfied
without doubt.
with weight to go with it, proposed
to R. Roe that he, the said J. Doe,
then and there being knock the ever
lasting daylights out of him the said
R. Roe. This came to the notice of
Chief Rainey who is careful about
such matters and a stickler for the
etiquette of the occasion. So the
chief proceeded to round up J. Doe
and investigate his personal record
with very futile results. J. Doe de
clined to come across and behave
himself, hence Chief Rainey threw
him In and there he will sweat out
the booze until tomorrow morning
when he will face Judge Archer and
get a dose of his celebrated brand of
Justice warranted to cure the most
confirmed case of Jag in the world.
Ituys Property In Onia'ia.
From Monday's Daily.
From the Omaha papers the Jour
nal learns that J. P. Falter of this
city has concluded the purchase of
a one-quarter block In Orchard Hill
addition to Omaha. The property is
located at the northeast corner of
Fortieth and Hamilton streets and
the stated consideration is $34,800.
On the lots are a number of build
ings including a frame store build
ing and four dwelling houses. The
property is said to be of much value
and well worth the consideration. It
is located In a fine part of the city
and a part toward which the city is
rapidly growing. The Journal is
pleased to note that a prominent
citizen of this city is taking such
an active interest in realty in the
metropolis and it hopes the venture
will prove advantageous from a bus
iness standpoint. It is stated that a
rarm which Mr. Falter owned in Mis
souri is Included as a part of the
purchase price.
Vernon Clapp, who has been mak
ing a visit in this locality with L. D.
Brown of Kenosha, was in the city
on Saturday afternoon and met a
number of friends here. The young
man is having a fine time down on
the farm and hugely enjoying hlm
Relf during his summer outing.
TLATTSMOUTII. NEBRASKA. THURSDAY JUNE
'GEHIHG READY
SPLEffDID ' FOR PARADE
Merchants Generally Busy Pre
paring for the Event
The preparations for the great
Fourth of July celebration continues
apace. This morning an advertising
committee of Messrs. I. J. Decker,
Albeit Egenberger, Bert Thomas and
Charles Truman departed to bill the
country for the big event around the
neighborhood of Mynard, Murray,
Union and Nehawka. The boys went
in the carriage hauled by the mule
team of Mr. Decker who so kindly
donated the use of the team to tl
lodge. The Red Men are under great
obligations to Mr. Decker for his
kindness and hope to be able to some
time repay him for his generosity.
The crew expects to get back some
time this evening.
The indications for a grand parade
continue flattering. Many of the
merchants are stii'ring themselves
and the frames for good, attractive
and generous floats are in sight on
every hand. A meeting of the Sons
of Herman yesterday set the mark
for lodge affairs. This meeting de
cided unanimously that a float be
built and the sum of $50 was ap
propriated for material, the work to
be furnished by the members of the
lodge. It Is said the chosen design
is one of the most beautiful ever
seen in the city and the opinion pre
vails that the float stands a fine
chance of carrying the first prize.
The puDlic will understand that three
prizes are to be awarded for the best
floats consisting to $25, $15 and $5
and all wil be worth while. In ad
dition to the Sons of Herman there
will be nearly all the live lodges in
the city represented. The commer
cial club this afternoon will probably
take some steps to recognize the
great occasion and lend their approv
al to the scheme. Taken all around
the indications are that Piattsmouth
next Monday will have the greatest
crowd in its history and the best cele:
bration. With the merchants and the
lodges acting harmoniously there is
no reason why a vast crowd should
nui ue present ana iaKe partem the
festivities.
Agent Norton of the Missouri Pad
fic states that there is no room fo
doubt but a special train as request
ed by the citizens of Union and Mur
ray will run on the 4th and the pub
lie is advised to watch for further
announcements. If the train runs
and that is considered certain, then
passengers from Union, Nehawka
Murray and other points do not have
to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning
but can come here on a train out of
Union at 7:30 or 8 a. m. This
gives them a convenient starting hour
and assures the public that Platts
mouth wants them all in its borders
ine committee on speakers
through Mr. Emil Walters, a close
personal friend of the speaker, has
absolute assurance that Hon. Hugh
A. Myers of Omaha will be here for
the great occasion. Mr. Myers is one
of the really eloquent and able ora
tors in the middle west and he will
deliver a splendid address upon the
Red Men and their aims. He is worth
listening to and a speaker who will
more than make good. Judge Sut
ton is expected to give a final ans
wer to the committee by a few days
and there is not room to doubt but
it will be favorable. Judge Travis of
this city has already accepted and
will be heard which insures a galaxy
of stars for the speaking.
Tk rt .
mo Drown carnival company
should be here long before the 4th
and they will have nine grand attrac
tions, all of which will do all the
business they can handle. This in
Bures a fine attendance and everyone
man, woman or child can attend and
know the shows on the grounds are
clean and moral. Indications are for
the largest crowds ever in the city.
Will Celebrate at the Institute.
Ed. Schulhof Is among those wh
spent bunday In the city with his
parents, returning to Glenwood this
morning to assume his duties at the
institute. Prof. Schulhof expects to
put on quite a little Fourth of July
celebration at the Institution with his
excellent band. There will be a pro
gram of unusual merit arranged for
the benefit of the little unfortunates
at that place and the band will give
them a popular program which will
be worth their listening to. There
are two concerts a week given by
this band at the institution and these
concerts are well worthy of attend
ance, i
A Birthday Picnic Siikt
From Monday's Dally.
Miss Barbara Clement very pleas
antly entertained a number of her
schoolmates and friends Saturday
evening at the city park at a picnic
supper. The occasion was in honor
of her birthday anniversary and the
friends who assembled at the park at
her invitation, celebrated the event
in a manner which will long be re
membered as those participating in
this delightful affair, report an ex
ceedingly fine time. Along with the
many enjoyable things the thought
ful hostess had provided for the en
tertainment of her guests, was a de
licious appetizing and pleasant, and
with appetites whetted with the out
door games and amusements, they
fell too and soon made the supper
nothing but a memory. Miss Dora
Fricke acted as chaperone.
Those who participated in .this
were the Misses Dorothy Britt, Nora
Livingston, Jennie Livingston, Edna
Shopp, Harriett and Jeanette Cle
ment, Messrs. Glen Scott, Ralph Lar
son, Stanley Coon, John Livingston,
"Sonny" Knapp.
Republican Spanish War Veter
ans to Boost for Hayward
and Against Tobey.
The Journal notes that a Spanish
War Hayward club is being formed
in the First district. Among the
promoters announced is C. A. Rawls
of Jhis city who is on the advisory
board. As Mr. Rawls has been ab
sent in quest of wealth in Colorado
for some time past and it Is generally
understood he will remain there, it
Indicates the Republican organiza
tion in this vicinity Is very nearly de
funct. The club it is stated is to do
work against George Tobey in Lan
caster county and the presumption is
that the name of Mr. Rawls was add
ed to the board to give it eclat and
Impresslveness. As a matter of fact,
the Hayward managers should have
selected some one who is still In Ne
braska. The following from the
State Journal is what the institution
proposes to do and who is it:
According to letter heads, a Span
ish War Hayward club has been or
ganized in the First congressional dis
trict to boost Will Hayward of Ne
braska City, who served prominently
In that war. The officers of this
club are: John Westover of Lin
coln, president; George L. Sheldon of
Nehawka, vice president; William
McClay of Lincoln, secretary; and
L. S. Giltnan of Havelock, treasurer.
An advisory committee, or board, has
also been named composed of the fol
lowing men; Sclby R. Beeman of
Lincoln, First Nebraska; C. N. Han
sen of Bennet, First Nebraska; La
Rue Brown of Arbor, Second Ne
braska; C. A. Rawls of Piattsmouth,
Third Nebraska; Paul Jessen of Ne
braska City, Second Nebraska; Fritz
NIcklas of Syracuse, Second Nebras
ka; Edwin D. Fisher of Falls City,
First Nebraska; A. M. Huston of
Pawnee City, Fifty-first Iowa; John
Pope of Burchard, Second Nebraska;
Herbert II. Hay of Auburn, First
Nebraska; Frank P. Majors of Peru,
Second Nebraska; U. G. Sovereign of
Teeumseh, Second Nebraska. ' This
club has now more than a hundred
members, and from headquarters in
Lincoln is preparing to do much to
further the interests of its candidate
as against George Tobey. Through
it, as one factor, Hayward proposes
to bid for the vote of Lancaster coun
ty, and is not without hope that he
may carry off a majority of this
county at the August primaries. To
that end he has opened headquarters
in the Richards block, where fie Keeps
a stenographer and as an active as
sistance, Selby R. Beeman, formerly
watchman at the federal building. It
had been rumored that E. C. Strode
would undertake to mannge the cam
paign in this county for Hayward,
but it is now said that he will do no
more than advise with the candidate.
Mr. Hayward says he expects to man
age his own campaign in each dis
trict. He will campaign in a huge
touring car, and will In each coun
ty take men with him well versed
n political conditions In the coun
ties. Meanwhile Georee Tobev Is fig
uring on about the same sort of cam-
ialgn, but with different men to aid
him.

Prospects for Factory.
From Monday's Dally.
The commercial club today Is tak
ing up the matter of locating gaso
line engine plant in the city. The
gentleman who has the matter up
with the club came In this morning
and at once took the matter up with
the commercial club directors. He
has a patent gasoline engine which
he insists will burn about one-half
the gasoline other engines do and
do the same work. It is especially
designed for farm work. He wants
to locate somewhere In the west and
hit upon this point as one conven
ient to large distributing points. His
Invention has been explained to the
club members and they are enthusias
tic over the project. The gentleman
was shown over the city by a com
mittee of the club consisting of the
Messrs. Wescott and Schneider and
he pronounces the city a fine one
but he d!d raise objections to the
hills which we have.
He found, however, that the city
had all the advantages which any
city could have In the shape of water,
power, light, labor and any other
really necessary article to do bus!
ness with. He was given the most
careful attention by the committee
and this afternoon he held a meeting
with the executive committee of the
commercial club to take up the mat
ter. It Is hoped some deal can be
arranged by which he locates In this
city in the near future and starts a
fine factory.
In connection with this matter,
Attorney A. L. Tldd who is one of the
live wires of the commercial club, re
celved a letter from a prominent
manufacturer of automobiles In the
east regarding a location for a new
factory in this city. This gentleman
has had a good deal of correspond
ence with Mr.Tidd in regard to this
plant for Beveral months past and
has been especially anxious to see
what the city could do in the line of
helping his plant. It is understood
that the plant will be capitalized at
not less than $150,000 and that it
will furnish employment for several
hundred men. The result has been
an Invitation extended to him to visit
the city and look the field over. He
has accepted this invitation and will
be in the city some time between the
28th and the 1st of July when the
committee can show him what they
have to offer. Piattsmouth has ev
erything which he can want and the
location of this factory It Is hoped
will be assured by his visit.
The commercial club is sanguine
of its ability to land either the one
or the other of these two factories
and hopes to get both. If this should
be the case it would result in a great
deal of money being paid out for la
bor and material and prove a real
blessing for the entire community.
Mr. Tldd Is confident that his man
will be willing to deal generously
with the local committee and that
a bargain can be struck with him.
The location of a big auto factory
here would be worth while and the
mere fact that it stands right here
at the mouth of commerce Is suffi
cient to warrant the belief that the
location will suit him as well as the
people.
A Happy Snip rise.
A very happy surprise party took
place last Saturday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Mark lies when a num
ber of relatives and friends gathered
to have a good time and surprise Mrs.

pleasantly spent, there being refresh
ments served the guests such as ice
cream and cake and at the conclus
ion of the eating, a little dance was
arranged which all enjoyed. The
party also enjoyed a walk over the
lies garden, the hostess showing the
wonders of the yard.
Those present Included among oth
ers: Mrs. August Norton, Mrs. Etta

Able to Come lKvn Town.
Will Smith was down town this
afternoon for the first time in two
weeks, having been laid up that
length of time with a very badly
bruised foot. Mr. Smith was en
gaged in unloading a car of coal at
the yards of Mr. C. W. Baylor whea
he received the Injury which is a
very painful one. He had opened th
door of the car, the coal being load
ed in a stock car, and had stepped
into the car when the coal started
sliding down from one end of the
car. A 00 pound chunk of coal
landed upon Mr. Smith's left foot in
flicting very severe injuries. His
foot was caught under the mass of
coal and pinioned there. Help was
at hand fortunately and Mr. Smith
was soon released. He was hurried
to a surgeon who made an Examina
tion of the foot and found that no'
bones were broken but that the mem
ber had been badly crushed and
bruised. Mr. Smith was ordered to
his home where he has since been
until this afternoon when he came
down to the city, using a crutch to
make the trip with. He ia feeling
pretty good and believes that ho will
get along all light from now on but
in the future he intends to look out
for 300 pound chunks of the blnck
diamonds and to keep his feet in the
clear. His many friends wil bo glad
to note his recovery and trust he will
soon be himself once more.
Peculiur Accident.
Mrs. Julia Decker was called to
Omaha this morning by a messago
nnounclng the very serious illness
of her grandson, George Bax, Jr.,
who Buffered a peculiar accident sev
eral days ago and who is now in a
hospital in that city. Mr. Bax Is a
carpenter by trade and who was
shingling a roof and carried a num
ber of shingle nails in his mouth as
Is the custom. He accldently swal
lowed one of them and the result
wns he was taken violently ill. He
was hurried to a hospital and It was
discovered that he will have to un
dergo an operation to remove the
nail which Is now lodged In the
stomach. His condition is

DcpurrM for Kcfoiiii School.
Sheriff Qulnton departed on th
morning train for Kearney, having
n charge Earl Morris, the lad who
has established Btich a reputation for
being an expert jail breuker. The
boy did not seem to be much wor
ried over having finally to go to the
reformatory and there are a good
many who do not expect him to re
main as an Inmate of that institution
for any great length of time. He
seems to be a very keen and Intelli
gent young lad and his eyes are de-
Idedly sharp. He did not make any
effort to get away during the time
he was at the station but quietly sat
n the walling room and watched the
crowd. It will bo a relief to the
jailer to have the boy out of his
hands as he was so slippery that con
stant watching was required to pre
vent him taking French leave. The
commitment was issued yesterday by
Judge Beeson and the boy was hur
ried to the reformatory by the sheriff
at his earliest convenience.
