A VISIT 10 THE DEN OF
THE KING OF AK SAR-BEN
It Is said that laughing is a very
good, medicine, and some times it
may be better than anything else.
Last night the writer had the oppor
tunity to take a good dose of that
wonderful medicine while in the me
tropolis of our state visiting a minis'
terial friend. '
The clergymen of Omaha were In
vited to spend last evening at the
den, and by decree of the King of
Ak-Sar-Ben were made special guests
of the evening. The writer's host
Invited him to accompany the Omaha
clergy on this occasion. After the
initiation was over and the sensation
of fright had departed, I found out
that I can feel, as man between man
who are enthusiastic boosters of the
city, and I must say I had the finest
time and one I believe, of the minis
ters who spoke was right, In saying
"The Lord knows a preacher needs
a Jolly time once in a while at least,"
Indeed It was an object lesson and
Rev. Dr. T. J. Mackay hit the point
when he Bald: "Bringing the minis
ters together, here Is an object lesson
in the way we should get together,
under one common banner and one
common Master. As you are boosters
for Omaha, so should we all boost for
Christ and for freedom." It was on
the hand a real lesson for me. Why
not boost for my city and I think
boost for Omaha while I boost for
Plattsmouth and I think that is what
we need. More men with good red
blood in their veins, who sacrifice
themselves for their city. By the
way I want to thank the Honorable
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for the object
lesson they gave to me as a minister
who loves riattsn:outh.

Judge Archer had his police court
mill grinding this morning and com
pleted three grists to the satisfaction
of all concerned. The first was a
gentleman from Iowa, who had come
across the boarder to get tight. The
initials of his name were M. B. Ha-
over, he was innocent or any inten
tion of breaking the law but he was
unaccostomed to the Nebraska brand
of booze and got more on board than
he needed for the occasion. He had
farm in Iowa and a wife and fam-
ily, but was short on cash, so the
court allowed him to leave his valu-
able gold watch as a forfeit until he

The second matter was a complaint
ncninst Lpstpr MrKlnnPV whom Xlcht
Watch Bert Thomas caught in the act
of "lamming the whey" out of Frank
McClover. The officer happened
along the Burlington track Inside the
ard limits when McKtnney and Mc-
Clover were both engaged In the
melee, McKInney seemed to have the
best of the fight and was holding Mc-
Clover down and pounding him while
the switch engine was bearing down
towcrd the pair all unnoticed by
them, so earnestly were they engag
ed In the fight. Mr. Thomas thinks
both would have been killed had he
not Jerked them off of the track,
and into the arms of the law. The
incident occurred about six o'clock
last evening. The men were thrown
in and brought before the judge this
morning. . McKinney was given ten
and costs, for fighting.- It apears
that he started the fight by landing
on McClover, the latter was allowed
to go without a fine as he seemed
to have had sufficient punishment.
CITIZENS 10 SHOULD BUT
WON'T GIVE TO ENTERPRISE
It would seem that from present
apearances that the energetic com
mittee selected to procure stock for
the new enterprise to be located In
Plattsmouth were about to fall to se-
cure a sufficient amount to assure
Its location. It would be a shame
to have this enterprise fall through
with now after so much hard work
has been done by a few of the most
hustling citizens. There are those
In the city who are plenty able to
give, who have failed to give a pen
ny, when the establishment of such
an enterprise will do them as much
good as any of those who have sub
scribed, and much more than some of
them. We cannot expect to have en
terprises located in our midst when
such citizens refuse aid.

Lynn Miner, was one of the most
pleasing and delightful events that
has occurred in Plattsmouth for some
time. Misses Parmele and Pollock

well to these popular Plattsmouth
young ladles. There were twenty-
seven couples participating, and from

Mr. Lynn Miner and Miss Ellen Pol
lock, until the final waltz the young

resident of the county since 1855; up
to the present time the murder "of

THE BIG BASS DRUM RE
TURNS AFTER LONGTIME
From Monday's Daily.
No one In Plattsmouth was happier
this morning than France Ballance.
Several years ago the "Hewitt Fam
ily," a musical organization were In
the city, and were minus a bass drum
and France kindly loaned them the
one he had used so long with the old
B. & M. band, one of the greatest
bands In the west, with the under
standing that they would return It in
a short time. But the old drum nev
er came back until France found out
It was in some town in Oklahoma and
sent for it, and it came in this morn
lng with $1.90 express charges to
pay. This for his kindness. France
is proud of the old drum, and will
keep It, if for nothing more than a
reminder of the good old days when
the B. & M. band was the pride of
Plattsmouth, and well known through
the west.

LEAVES VICTIM
Resident of Louisville Attacked
by an Unknown Man.
Louisville, Neb. Aug 30. Just as
he stepped from the rear door of his
apartments on Main street last night
George Tackenberg, an old resident of
Louisville was slugged and knocked
unconscious by an unknown assalN
ant. Mr. Tackenberg is fifty-five
years of age and a bachelor, and he
has lived in Louisville for thirty
years. He is a cousin of u. G. Ilase-
meier of Lincoln. The motive for the
assault is not known and the Identity
of the person making the assault was
not learned. Although Mr. Tacken
berg was knocked unconscious and
was unable to make an alarm, the
person who struck him did not at
tempt to rob him, though he might
easily have done so.
The opinion Is prevalent here that
either Mr. Tackenberg must have
come upon a burglar or that an at
tempt was made to put him out of
the way. The Injured man describes
his assailant as a short, heavy set
man, smooth shaven and lantern jaw
ed. The local police are working
on the case.

Luther's FAR171 Special
is one of those indispensable farm tools. To the farmer
who is discriminating, and looks at quality instead of
price, who wants the BKST whether he buys machinery,
clothing, shoes or food stuff. To such a one, LUTH
KR'S FARM Sn-XIAL will strongly appeal. Up to
the time we put out this great labor saving tool he had
to be content with the old, slow-cutting grindstone or
unsatisfactory emerv grinder, but now he can have the
service of the most perfect farm tool sharpening device
ever invented. There is not a tool used about the farm S
that is superior to our FARM SPFCIAL GR1NDKR as 8
a laoor saver, it snarpens everytmng tn one-twentieth O
the time it would take on the grindstone. The grind 8
stone cuts so slow that vou would nrefer tn wnrlr with a V
dull tool rather than endure the backache and HARD b
WORK of keeping tools sharp on it. K
IT IS EASY to sharpen tool on the Farm Special. 8
Your ten-year-old hoy will tell vou it is fun to sharpen O
everything on this FARM SPECIAL GRINDER. 8
