CHANGES THAT WILL
PUI1SIUIH DIE ATTRACTIVE CUT
A General Cleaning Up of the Residence and Side Streets, as
Well as Cut the Weeds About Your Homes, Will Bring About
A Condition of Improvement in the City.
What is it that makes a town
attractive? A good place to live
in? A popular trading point?
Not necessarily the location, al
though that has something to (Jo
with it usually; at any rate, there
are undeniable advantages m
picturesque ami beautiful sur
roundings. We have seen some towns, how
ever, wilh excellent natural ad
vantages which wore a slovenly
and unkempt air, like that of a
woman of the slums; and we have
seen others located, perhaps, in a
flat and uninleresting country,
whose streets and yards and
houses were neat and tidy, with
an air of comfort am) prosperity
which reflected that of the busy
business streets.
It is unquestionably the busi
ness men who make the town what
it is, although it sometimes hap
pens that it takes the women of
the town to make I he start and to
stir up their consorts to furnish
the movement with money and the
needed legislation to secure the
desired results; but when it is
done it has to be done by I he busi
ness men themselves.
There is little excuse for any
town being dead or even dull, with
rare exceptions, truly says the
Implement Trade Journal.
We have known of business
men real merchants who have
succeeded in building up 'a really
splendid and prolllahle business
miles from any (own, simply
through their enterprise and push j
and hustle and advertising. We
have known of others who have
held back every effort to make
their town attractive, simply be
cause they were loo lazy, or
penurious, or short-sighted to
do their duly by their fellow
townsinen, even though it is
hound to help themselves.
One of the most profitable
things the business men of any
town can do is to gel together and
formulate ami push a plan for a
clean town good, smooth, pas

neatly painted houses, neat fences
or, belter yet, Hie abolition of
fences and the grading. and sod

sizes of our medium and cheaper priced suits. This leaves us
nothing hut the higher priced lines from $15 to $30. We realize
a sale price must be low to attract the cash buyer, so we have shut
our eyes to the cost and taken all our odd high grade suits and put
them in one pile to close at just an even $10 spot cash. This ad
may not reveal to you the extraordinary opportunity this offers

good drainage, and, where feasi
ble, a good sewer system; careful
disposal of garbage; keeping lit
ter of all kinds off the streets;
wiping out the breeding places of
flies and mosquitoes in short,
bringing the town up to the mod
ern ideals of sanitation and
beauty.
To some these may seem trill
ing things to devote good white
paper to, or effort and money, but
these ideals are every year get
ting a firmer hold on the minds
and hearts of (he people, and the
communities which are recogniz
ing them at their true worth are
inevitably the ones which are
forging ahead in a business way.
We do not mean to say, that
the merchants of a slipshod town
cannot do a profitable business,
although even that extreme posi
tion might be susceptible to
plausible argument. We do mean
to say, however, that it pays for
business men anywhere to take
an active interest in I he improve
ment of their home town.
Such a cleaning up of the resi
dences and the streets will of it
self bring about a condition of
improvement in the appearance
of thi' stores, if, indeed, that does
not precede Ihe other. With the
movement general, and with
stocks well bought and attractive
ly displayed, and wilh live adver
tising by the merchants, it will
not be long before the good news
will spread far beyond the pre
vious bounds of patronage and
the people will come Hocking into
Spot lesstown to trade. They are
bound to be attracted to an at
tractive town; it's human nature.
This isn't mere theory; it is
sound, common sense and hard
fact, borne out by the happy ex
perience of many a live little town.
And, by Ihe same token, the (own
which follows this plan will not
long remain a little town, but is

SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARS
ENJOY A FINE PICNIC
On Friday morning the mem
bers and friends of the Sunday
school of the First, Church of
Christ Sicenlist, chartered Mc
Maken's big carryall and drove to
Swallow Hill, where they par
ticipated in a picnic. There were
some thirty members in attend
ance, who spent the entire day
picnicking, llshing, boating and
throughly enjoying many other
outdoor sports. At. Ihe noon hour
an excellent picnio dinner was
spread in a shady nook. All
kinds of good things to eat were
to be had, after which ice cream
and cake were served.
During Ihe afternoon many of
Ihe picnickers tried their luck at
fishing again and succeeded in
capturing a nice mess of fish. The
picnickers had intended to cook
the fish for supper, but the man
with the matches arrived too late;
in fact, everybody was so hungry
they could not wait, so had supper
minus the fish. In their hurry in
returning to their homes, the
string of fish were forgotten
and as far as they know are' still
on Mie string. For a time many
of this jolly company indulged in
swimming, wading and the like.

companied them. Juno has been
suffering from appendicitis for
several days, but it was hoped
that he could escape an. opera

symptoms were of such a nature
that an operation was thought
advisable at once.

THE BASE BALL GAME
- ALL ONE SIDED SUNDAY
The ball game yesterday was
well attended by the lovers of the
sport, but much to their chagrin
the visiting team, the Omaha In
diau Motorcycle Base Ball team,
did not put up much of a game
They were a good-natured bunch,
however, and enjoyed themselves
as much as if they had won. The
pitcher, Noah, was line, and did
some handsome twirling and if he
had had the support he deserved
the outcome of the game would
have been different. The score at
the end of the ninth inning stood,
Platlsmoulh 12, Indians, 0, or as
the tennis enthusiasts put it,
"love."
The battery for the Plattsmouth
Boosters was McKaigh in the box
and Mann behind the bat. The
visitors came to town on I heir
motorcycles over the "Scenic
Route." The boys are all right
as cyclists and it is a safe bet
that they have practiced Ihe rid
ing art more than the great
American game.
Next Sunday the Boosters will
entertain the Dundee Woolen
Mills team. This team is said to
be one of the fastest teams in
Omaha.
City Tournament On.
Drawings for the annual city
tournament were made last even

ASSES AWAY AT IHE '
AGE OFJGHIf YEARS
Last Sad Rites Over Remains of
Lorence C. Stiles of the
Masonic Home.
The funeral of Lorence C.
Stiles of the Masonic Home, who
died in an Omaha hospital last
Friday, occurred yesterday after
noon at the Home, Rev. W. L.
Austin, pastor of the Methodist
church, conducting the service.
The . funeral was under the
auspices of the Masonic order, Mr.
pines iiaving ueen a member oi a
Council Bluffs lodge for many
years. The deceased was born in
the state of New York eighty years
ago. He came to Nebraska and
settled in Plattsmouth almost 50
years ago, and for many years
was one of the leading printers of
this city, having been connected
with both the Herald and the
Journal. He removed from Platls
moulh some years ago, residing in
Kansas City and, in Council BlufTs.
While in Kansas City his wife
died. He came to 'the Home two
years ago last January from
Council BlufTs, where he had re
sided for several years.
Mr. Stiles is survived by one
son and three daughters, two of
his daughters reside in Kansas
City and Ihe son resides in Texas.
Mr. Stiles was removed from the
Home to au Omaha hospital three
weeks before he died, with the
hope that the care and nursing
ho would receive there would
benefit him, but nothing seemed
to do him any good. His remains
were brought to Ihe Home Satur
day, accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. Van Gouton.
The pall-bearers were selected
from the members of the Masonic
fraternity and were: J. M. Rob
erts, A. D. Despain, M. Ilild, C. C.

congratulations. Nebraska City

OEFIGERS STOP CARNIVAL
SHOWS SATURDAY EVENING
If the carnival shows that were
closed Saturday night by Ihe
authorities for giving immoral
exhibitions, why were they not
stopped long before Saturday
night? They had given the same
kind of performances every night
during Ihe week. Some people are
free to express their opinions
that the "courni:eous" oflicials
were simply wailing until a big
crowd assembled on Ihe street lo
show their authority. And, then,
perhaps, they were afraid the
.show fellows might get enough
enough money to get out of town.
Charles Chancy and Leon Berry
and the Misses F.dna ami Fdilh
Kroehler, from llavelock, were in
the city a few hours yesterday
visiting the home of Mrs. George
Weidman and family, grand
mother of the two young ladies.
The trip was made in the auto
mobile. F.lmer Root of Lincoln spent
Sunday with his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Wise.
CARNIVAL CHPAI1Y
CLOSED SATURDAY
Had a Very Bad Week and Were
Possibly Much Poorer Than
When They Started Here.
Amid much trouble, trials, law
suits and various tribulations, the
Twentieth Century Carnival com
pany closed their week's engage
ment in this city last Saturday
evening, the larger part of which
was closed by force on the part of
the city attorney, county attorney
and sheriff. All that remained
after the above oflicials made their
rounds was the few concessions
and two riding devices. The "Girl
in Red," the "Fairies in the
Well" and the "Old Plantation"
were among those that were re
quested to close, the exact cause
of which we are unable to state;
some say on account of an unpaid
board bill, while others say it was
on account of the immorality of
Ihe players; the latter, though.
does not, seem hardly possible, for
the shows were the same as had
been produced during the entire
week and they were permitted to
run unmolested for more than six
days, with the exception of the
"Fairies in the Well," which was
erected but two days previous to
Ihe closing.
At any rate, the best that can be
said of Ihe affair is lo say nothing,
and for the betterment of the
town, forget, it all as soon as pos
sible, for from an amusement
standpoint it was rotten from
start to the closing', but some of
the men connected wilh it were
gentlemen, simply in hard luck
and nothing more; they were try
ing lo keep themselves together
with the hope of making good, as
it is termed. They were not men
who wanted to beat anyone, but
wanted to pay their bills, and did
pay right up to Ihe last dollar
they possessed. They were con
fronted with attachments too
numerous lo mention, from Oma
ha, where they organized, and a:
large portion of their show ma
terial has been left here until the
legal question is settled, whichr
will be next month. Many of them
left town, going in all directions,
some south, some north, east and
west, and the week just closed was
a continuous effort to keep the
entire show from going to "h-l,,r
for the want of finance.
The Journal has been flooded
with all kinds of requests to
roast this man and roast that
man, and we understand that one
of our prominent business men
made the remark that he would
like lo have charge of the paper
this week, he would sure "shoot
it into" another one of our busi
ness men, and Ihe other would
"shoof it back at him, and thu
you have it. The Journal has
come lo the conclusion that the
best way out of this (rouble is to
not make more of it, and forget
the whole business just as soon
as possible, and for those who are
desirious of dishing up "roasts"
this week only, let them establish
a newspaper of their own and dish
up delicacies just to their own
tasle.
