' , Tin) dale of holding the sired carnival has been indefinitely postponed for reasons unexpected by Hie committee in charge of the big event. Saturday afternoon, and very late in the afternoon, the C., B. & (J. II. II. company, by its local attorneys, tiled petition in the olllcc of the clerk of the dis trict court of Cass county praying a restraining order, which was granted, the hearing to take place on Wednesday of this week in the district court. The parlies made defendants are: Harry Krugcr, chief local officer of I lie Missouri Tribe of lied Men No. 08; J. C. York, John Lory, Km il Walters, John McNurlin and Adolph (ieise, chairman of the committee on arrangements; J. P. Saltier, mayor of Plattsmouth, and Coun cilmen G. K. Dovey, Ilea F. Patter son, Adam Kurtz, F. F. Buttery, J. II. Ilnlstrom, E. J. Hichey, George Tushinsky, C. A. Johnson, William Shea and John Yniidran. The order refers to Hichey op llailroad street and prevents the erection of shows or exhihil ions of any kind in the street mention ed until a hearing is had on the petition. The lied Men ' t once com municated with the managers of the Mid-West Carnival company 'at Omaha, and they decided not to bring their company to Platls moutli until some place is selected which will not he objected to bv anyone who can have a right to hring a suit, to prevent them. The action is a source of disap pointment lo the lied Men, as considerable pains to advertise the coming of (he carnival had heen taken by the committee on arrangements and the posters had heen sent broadcast through the towns of the county, and it was expected that a big crowd would be in the city during the week. On the other hand there are many good citizens opposed lo holding the carnival, some giv ing one reason and others an other. The writ does not apply to the side streets oilier than Riehov street, and the Red Men could yet go ahead if the carnival company would come up to their contract, but the manager informed a mem ber of t he com in it t on arrange ments this morning that ttie gate keeper at Omaha had decamped , Saturday night with the gate re ceipts and that, they could not bring all of the attractions ad vertised, and for that reason he thought it best not to bring any of it. A part of the carnival, which bad been out in the stale for (lie Fourth, arrived over the M. P. last evening, but did not unload, and after communicating with the manager left this morn ing for Omaha. N. It. Since the above was 'put in typo il has been learned that a member of the committee on ar rangements was called up Satur day night by II. C. LeBurno, agent for the Mid-West Carnival com pany, who signed up the contract for this place with the Red Men, and informed them that the com pany was all lorn up; that they would not be able to put the shows on as advertised, and asked to have (he contract canceled, which was agreed to by the member of the committee. Yesterday, as well as today, other parties connected with the Mid West company have been in communication with the Red Men and desire to go ahead with the show.. A. C. MoGuigan was to have been here on the tlrst train this afternoon, but missed the train. And as wo go to press it seems probable that arrange ments will be made to go on with the carnival should satisfactory arrangements be made when Mr. MoGuigan arrives. A VERY IG POOR GAM E YESTERDAY Catches Large Fish, a party or naitsniouin young men went boating, fishing and swimming and seining on the Mis souri river yesterday and cuuKht a number of mammoth llsh weigh ing 25 pounds each. They also caught a few mosquoito bites and also just, a few blisters from old Sol's penetrating rays. Some of the gentlemen could not comfort ably wear their clothes today, and it. was rumored that, no cigars were made today, as the maker's back was too raw. The Ho-Ha motor boat of Roy Holly and se veral row boats were required by the party to bring the tlsh to shore. Those participating wore: Kmons Ptak, who caught the big gest tlsh; II. Brmkinan, Anton Kanka, Frank Smith, Frank Ash enbreuner, Frank and Albert Schueldice, Joe Kanka, Y. J. e,oda, Anion Hasson, llajeck and Rov Hollv. The Boosters Defeated by a Score of 7 to 1 by the A. O. U. ' W. Team. i t ' About the poorest base ball game of the season was pulled off at the city ball park yesterday af ternoon, at which lime the Boost ers met the A. O. U. W. team of Omaha and were defeated by a score of 7 to i. It is true the visitors were one of the strongest teams that have played on the Plattsmouth grounds this season and put. up their usually strong game, while ttie home team played about the poorest game of the season. Several very costly errors were made in the first inning of the game that, gave the visitors two scores. There seemed to be no life in the game from beginning to end; perhaps the home, boys had not fully recovered from the effects of the long-winded game of the Fourth. McCaig, the twirler for Plattsmouth, injured his arm to some extent on the Fourth, and of course was not in condition lo play the game yes terday; he was very wild during the first half of the game, during which time the visitors made six of their runs. At the first half of the fifty inning MeCauley was placed in the box and McCaig went to first, after which the A. 0 U. W.'s made only one run. Another reason perhaps for the poor playing by the homo team was the iireak-un in their line up from the past few games played. Heal and Finder wore not in their usual places, Dot son playing center field and Whelan on second. The next will be dif ferent, and that's all we will have to say. John Card of Thanks. Wo desire to express our most sincere thanks to the many neigh bors and friends for their kind as sistance and beautiful floral tributes at the illness and death of our beloved husband and brother. Mrs. F. M. Young. Mr. A. R. Young. Mr. D. A. Young. ' Mrs. Henry Boeck. Mrs. M. A. Stafford. Picnic at Gochenour Island. A large crowd of people of this city and vicinity -drove down to Gochonour island the morning of the Fourth for the purpose of spending the entire day picnick ing, and had a jolly time. They took well-filled baskets with them and had all kinds of good things to eat, including cake, ice cream, lemonade and some of J. K. Mc Daniel's good cool drinks. The children played all sorts of games before luncheon was served, while the boys engaged in a hot game of ball. Those who enjoyed the Mark lies and sonpPg. . ih.irdf c trip were: Mr. and Mrs. Mark lies and son, Karl; Mr. and Mrs. Xolt ir.g and son, William Albert Mur ray of Weeping Water; Mr. and Mrs. Andy Perry and son, George, and grandchildren. Mildred ami George; Mr. and Mrs. Parker and two children; Mr. and Mrs. Jotir. (iochenour and children, Barbara, Johnnie, William, Jessie and violet; Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fergu son and family; Mr. and Mrs. J. Low and family; Mr. and Mrs. Harry (iochenour and children, Isaac, Wayne, Irene and Waller; Mr. and Mrs. Claude (iochenour and little daughter, Virginia; Mosdanios Sarah ("iochenour, Joe Perry and son. George; Misses Bertha Sheldon, Audrey Lowthcr and little niece; Messrs. A. (1. Bach and grandson, Lee Welsch; John Rice, James Gochonour, Frank Rice, Oscar Goehenour and Emmit Rice. It was a late hour when all left the island and de parted for their homes, feeling that they had celebrated the Fourth in a most delightful manner. CROPS GOOD III IS Mrs. James Hodgert Injured. .Mrs. James Hodgert met with an unfortunate accident last Fri day at her homo which resulted in her receiving u discolored eye and cheek. The painful accident oc curred when Mrs. Hodgert step ped to the medicine case and J ho wind blew a door ajar behind her and when she turned to leave the case she collided with the door, receiving n painful bruise over her eye. The pain and shock al most knocked Mrs. Hodgert down and the injured eye soon grow swollen and discolored. Mrs. R. H. Pat ton and three children departed for Chicago, Il linois, and Torre Haute, Indiana, Saturday, where they, will visit relatives for three weeks, while R. H. keeps bachelor's hall. At St. Luke's Church. The service at St. Luke's church last evening was of unusual in terest and was conducted by Rev. W. W. Barnes of Nebraska City. Rev. Barnes is one of Platts nioulh's native sons, of which the city is proud to claim as such. Rev. Barnes' theme last, evening was "The Spirit, the Water and the Blood," and was elaborated in ft most interesting and instructive way. "The spirit," said the min ister, "is Christ; the water, Chris tianity, and the blood, I ho Chris tian." The large chorus choir, under the leadership of H. S. Aus tin, rendered a beautiful anthem. There was a large congregation out, to hoar Rov. Barnes and the service was most interesting throughout. T SECIIONSJF STATE Wheat Good and Yield Very Fair, and Corn Promises to Yield Fairly, Well. 1 Excellent, yields of winter wheat in many sections of Nebraska are indicated in .reports Saturday, based on grain already cut, which show an average production of from 15 to 30 bushels per acre. Considering that 20 bushels an acre is a Nebraska normal crop, experts, view the wheal, situation as favorable. Between Lincoln and Nebraska City, 15 to 30 bushels; between Nebraska City and Atchison, 15 to 25 bushels; between Table Rock and Red Cloud, 15 lo 30 bushels; between Dewitt and Holdrege, 15 to 25 bushels: between Oxford and Holdrege, 10 to 15 bushels. Estimates of the entire Ne braska crop are said lo be favor able this week, but on account of a few very low estimates, the totals appear slightly less favor able than a week ago. Corn conditions reported have the same favorable lone which has characterized the country opinion of the crop prospect since the plant began to show green above the ground. Estimates of the crop are also bearing up well as compared with a week ago, in spite of the earlier tendency lo estimate' low on ac count of conditions at, an early si age of I ho growth. A composite view of the corn situation as viewed after a care ful comparison of reports from more than 300 railroad agents in practically every section of the crop belt in 'Nebraska are as follows: Eastern Nebraska, this week .5)1 per cent, last week 88 per cent; central Nebraska, 92 per cent, 1)4 per cent; southern Nebraska, 88 per cent, 88 per cent; western Nebraska. 88 per cent, 85 per cent. All spring grains are sharing in the optimistic opinion of the railroad observers regarding the crop planted this spring. At least an average crop of potatoes will be realized and the prospects for the quality and quantity of the second cut of alfalfa remains good. Democratic State Convention. The democratic electors of the stale of Nebraska are hereby called lo meet in delegate conven tion in the city of Grand Islanrt Tuesday, July 30, 1912, at 2 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of drafting a democratic state plat form, the election of a democratic; stale committee,' and the transac tion of any other business which may properly come before the convention.

The other guests were Misses Dorothy Brilt, Emma Cummins, Barbara, Janet and Harriet Clement, with little Helen Clement as the mascot. One of the stunts which these young ladies indulged in and' which furnished plenty of amuse ment for a I into, was a kimona dance, which was held out on the porch. There were other stunts which the girls hesitated about telling of and from which much merriment was derived.
