vy r nnpin ctc nnnnnAP uuiiirLLiL rnuunai ti CELEBRATION Oil THE The Great Parade to Start at 10 O'clock Headed bv Marshal of the Day Ben Rainey in Charge A party of advertisers from the Red Men celebration made a trip yesterday out into the county, billing the towns of Mynard, Murray, Union, Nehawka and Weeping Water. The boys report that they met with an enthusiastic reception wherever they went and that the Indications are that that whole section w ill be here for the big day. The party consisted of Messrs. I. J. Decker w ho so kindly tendered the use of his mule team to the Red Men, and who did the driv ing, Henry Tims, Albert Egenberger, Charles Truman, Bert Thomas. The boys did a good day's work and bills are now pretty well scattered over eastern Cass and In all the cen ters of population through the east ern and middle parts of the county. The boys who were out yesterday had an exciting experience when near Ne- hawka. They discovered . two wolf cubs and gave them chase, capturing them. Later the cubs made their escape in some manner and are now roaming about some where near the Weeping Water. The boys had In tended to try and bring the animals In to the city but they were a little two careless and let them get away. The management of the celebration were considerably disappointed last night to get definite news from the Missouri Pacific that the projected excursion from Nehawka and Union will not materialize as the company will not furnish - power. The best the company proposes to do Is to add two or more coaches to the regular morning train. As this train has been running about one to two hours late every mrnlng, there Is a good pros pect that it will get through about the time the excursion would have run anyway, so that all can attend as they Intended. To offset this discouraging news, it was learned, however, that the ap proach to the ferry on the Iowa side has been repaired and is now In good shape. A long and solid approach has been built from the shore to the ferry landing and vehicles can be han dled with neatness and dispatch. Ferryman James Ault was up in the city yesterday and authorized the statement that teams can now cross in perfect safety and without trouble. He la also working now on widening the road around Rocky Point and the action of the council last evening in donating him timbers to brace the road up against the river, , enables this work to be rapidly pushed for ward. This assures western Iowa a good road and an excellent crossing to the big show. More advertising is needed In the bottoms as far south as Thurman and the committee would like to have some volunteers for this work. The arrangements for the parade are going on nicely. The committee consisting of Messrs. F. E. Schlater and Thomas Walling today again vis ited the merchants and urged them to hurry the work on the floats. They have met wlfh very good success and a number of the floats are under way and some near completed. The several lodges are getting along nice ly with their floats and most of them wilt be very Imposing. The Eagles have their float well under way while the Woodmen are also getting along nicely. The Sons of Herman have a splendid committee In charge of their float and Intend to have something which will be an eye opener. Work on It Is under way now. The pre vailing opinion is that the best dls play possible will be made. The committee on parade to whom the selection of judges and the formation of rules governing the. award of the prizes, is at work selecting three cap able and efficient judges, the names of whom will be withheld for the present at least and they also hope Will Store no More Grain. Grain Dealer W. F. Gllllsple of ' Mynard desires to announce positive ly that hereafter there will be no more grain stored at his elevator for customers, the law being such that the custom which formerly prevailed of storing grain Is Illegal and unlaw- . ful. He desires all his many friends and customers to understand his po Hitlon in the matter and to recognize that he must comply with the law and In coneqsuence, cannot accept Brain for storing purposes. Mr. Gll llsple was In the city last Saturday and took the opportunity to make this announcement to the public so that customers will realize the situa tion and not ask for this accommoda tion. It Is understood all grain deal ers In this locality are complying with the law In this renpect but to make certain that ' all understood Just where he Btood, Mr. Gllllsple conclud I CfiD TUC run i nc to have rules ready for printing in a few days.

FOURTH INSTANTLY KILLED C. M. Suerpernant Struck by a Car While at Work. C. M. Suerpernant. a track laborer under foreman Charles Maguire in the Plattsmouth yards, was struck and instantly killed this arternoon about 5 o'clock, while engaged in his work. According to testimony of a number of eye witnesses who saw the accident Suerpernant was engag ed in tlghtning bolts on what Is known as the old elevator track just north of the Burlington station, when the switching crew kicked a car on the track. Suerpernant did not hear the approaching car which slipped noise lessly along upon him, and did not discover his danger until too late. Foreman Maguire and another of his crew were working within a short distance of the scene of the accident and were quickly at the side of the unfortunate man. They found that he had been killed almost Instan taneously. The body was taken to the Burlington station and the sher iff notified. He at once arrived and assumed charge and an Inquest will be held to determine the cause of death and fix the responsibility. Suerpernant has been connected with railroads in this vicinity for some years past, having been con nected with the Missouri Pacific at various points along their line, and working here under Foreman Brlssey for the same company. He has lived at various places in the second ward for several years, and at the time of his death was a resident of the M. E. Buttery property in that ward. He Is a man about forty-five years of age and leaves a wife and three children, the youngest being a baby about six months old. He Is well known In that part of the city, and bore the reputation of being a hardworking and very industrious man. His death came as a great to his many friends in this vicinity.. Sheriff Qulnton at about 5:45 this evening, impaneled a jury consisting of Messrs. J. C. York, C. W. Baylor, Frank McElroy, John Bajeck, Carl Herger, and C. L. Martin who viewed the remains as they lay In the bag gage room at the Burlington station and made an examination of the in juries which caused the unfortunate man's death. They found he had been horribly mutilated. There was a gash some live inches across his throat to the left side, the left arm and lpg were broken, the chest crush ed In and the ribs broken, the right leg was broken, the neck and spine broken and innumerable other wounds on the body. , Life must have been extinct within a few seconds after the accident. After viewing the remains the Jury adjourned to meet at Sheriff Quin- ton's office at 8 o'clock this evening when witnesses will be examined and a verdict arrived at. Infected Foot. Tim Kahoutek is taking a layoff from his work at the shops suffering from an Infected foot. While at work yesterday he had the misfor tune to step on a nail with his right foot, the nail penetrating the foot. He paid small attention to it at the time and today it was so badly swol len that he had to have it treated by a surgeon and to have to lay off from his work. The injury it is thought wlllreadlly' submit' to treatment and it is believed he will be able to be at work within a few days. Owing to the hot weather these injuries are such as will easily become Infected and great care has to be exercised to prevent serious trouble with them. Pay Up! Tay Up!

BACK A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Plattsmouth women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fall make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, diz zy spells, distressing urinary trou bles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of. the stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy and Brlght.'s dis ease. Doan's Kidney Pills perma nently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of It In a Plattsmouth woman's words: Mrs. James Hodgert, 1102 Main street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I suffered a great deal at times from dull, heavy pains across the small of my back, especially severe when I stooped or brought any strain on the muscles of my loins. About two years ago I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me such prompt and positive relief that I have since used them whenever I have felt In need of a kidney remedy. I pro cured Doan's Kidney Pills at Gerlng & Co.'s drug store and do not hesi tate to recommend them." The above statement was given In June, 1906, and on December 30, 1908, Mrs. Hodgert said: "I still hold a high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills. I am glad to confirm all T have previously said about this rem edy. For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cents. FoBter-MUburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

A number of young people wended their way to the woods in the vicln ity of the Burlington bridge Tuesday evening for the purpose of having an outing and enjoying a meal on the river bank. They took with them well ladened baskets filled with sand wlches, fruit and the like and were In i for a genuine good time. Many di versions of the out door nature were Indulged In and most thoroughly en joyed, but perhaps the most delight ful was eating their supper by the campflre. They broke up camp about the twilight hour and on their re turn to this city, the entire party at tending the moving picture show at the Majestic theater. Those In attendance were Dorothy Brltt, Barbara Clement, Katie Fos ter, Edna Shopp, Stanley Coon, Will Shopp, "Sonny" Knapp and Glen Scott. Henry Engelkemeler, one of the hustling young farmers of Mt. Pleas ant precinct, was in the city Tuesday, and while eher called and renewed for his paper. He came up in his fine large auto, and was accompan ied by his wife. Mr. Engelkemeler Is one of those prompt paying readers such as the country publisher is al ways proud of.

Attractions. The Brown Amusement company shows, here this week, under the aus pices of the Wymore Fire Department Is doing well. The shows are clean, and entertainment offered high class In every way. In point of attraction the big boa constrictor and glass blowers head the list with the Ferris wheel and the negro minstrels close second. The other attractions are also doing big business, and the fire boys will net a goodly sum by the week's end. The shows are located on Blue River avenue between Main and Nas streets. Although large crowds have thronged the streets in that vicinity every night good order has prevailed. It is expected that the remainder of the week will Bee more people than ever out to take In the shows and free attractions. Throught the coutresy of Ross A. uano, owner or tne Dig snakes, a Wymorean reporter today witnessed the boa constrictors take their dally bath, and it proved a unique sight The largest snake which Is a South African boa, weights 285 pounds, 27 feet 2 inches In length, and Is sup posed to be over 100 years old. The other reptile is a British East Africa boa, and Is not quite as large as the other, but nearly so. They are both beauties, the first being of dark color and the other lighter. These reptiles feed about five times a year, taking a 30 or 40 pound pig or other similar animals at each meal. The animal Is first crushed In the mammoth folds of the snake's body and then swallow ed hole, process of digestion usually taking several days to complete. The snakes drink about twice a week, sticking their nose into the water and sucking It in like a horse or cow. They usually take a common water bucket full of water at a time. The snakes shed their skin and teeth once a year. The big fellow Mr. Dano has on exhibition, has just com pleted shedding his skin today, our reporter seeing the operation com pleted and securing a large piece of the skin as a souvenir. The new skin shows up brilliantly, the colors being bright and fresh. The reptiles make a very interest ing sight and are well worth one's time. Mr. Dano, who has handled large snakes for many years says that one can study them constantly and always find something new and Inter esting in their habits. Weekly Wy morean. Marriage Llcenne Good. Business In the marriage license department of the county court has been pretty good today, a double wedding taking place at the office of Judge Beeson this morning. The contracting parties were Ralph Ro hacek, aged 25 of Omaha, and Miss Clara Westrom, aged 21 of Plalnvlew, and H. T. Johnson, aged 22 of Om aha, and Miss Amelia Westrom, aged 20 of Plalnvlew. The young folks came down on the morning train and after having the knot tied returned to Omaha in the afternoon. It could not be learned whether it was an elopment or not. The only informa tion vouchsafed was that the young ladles had been visiting friends in Omaha and had met the young men there. Presumably they did not con suit their parents about the step. All four are nice looking young people and seemed happy over the success attending their efforts to end single blessedness. A license was also Issued to J.
