V
A GOOD BALL HIE SUNDAY
ffllll ON HE II
A Very Fair Attendance and the Game Wai Hotly Contested, the
Boosters Losing to the South Omaha Team by a Score
of 4 to 5. Game Very Interesting From the
' Start to the Finish.
Tho Plattsmouth boosters lost
another good game of ball on the
home diamond yesterday, at which
time they met the All-Star ag
gregation of South Omaha. We
believe the name of All-Stars was
just a little might strong in nam
ing the visitors, hut they sure did
have some, good ball flayers,
several of whom were from tho
Shamrocks of that cily, who" were
here and played the eighteen-in-"ningfJaTnc
with the booslers on
July Fourth.
'. The boosters worn somewhat
crippled in the loss of Mann be
hind the bat, not but what they
had a man just as good in llerold,
but it changed the line-up all the
way round, with llerold behind the
mat and Hoi son and Mason in the
box, placing MeKaig in left field
and Ileal on third base.
Even in the numerous changed
positions the boosters put up a
good game and came out with but
very few errors to their credit.
Dolson went in the box for the
first half of (he game, and having
not played the position a great
deal this season, he was a little
wild, giving the visitors several
ANOTHER PIONEER OF
John Murdock Died at Home Near
Nehawka Saturday Night at the
Advanced Age of 78 Years.
Another old pioneer has passed
away, in the person of John Mur
dock, who was one of thy most
highly esteemed citizens of Cass
county. He died Saturday night
and interment was made in the
Mt. Pleasant cemetery today. The
principal cause of his death was
Old age.
John Murdock came to Ne
braska in 185 i, where he has ever
since resided, being engaged in
farming and stock raising until
only a few years since, and was
very successful. At the time of
his death he left an estate of I) 00
acres of valuable laud. lie is
CASS COUNTY DEAD
V. survived by seven children four
Sons and three daughters.
To say that John Murdock was
truly a good citizen but half ex
presses it. He was highly re
spected by all his neighbors and
was ever ready to help the needy.
If a man was honest and in. need
he could depend upon securing aid
from John Murdock, and the
community in which he lived so
long can all testify to his excellent
qualities as a gentleman, and also
to his good citizenship. We learn
that he served in the civil war in
the Second Nebraska regiment
and was n most excellent soldier
Everyone who knew the de-
ceased hail a good word to say for
him. Judge V. H. Newell of this
city, who was a neighbor of I he
deceased for a number of years, in
speaking of his death, said: "He
came to Nebraska before I he w ar,
and as I understand, was a mem
ber of the Second Nebraska dur
ing the late unpleasantness. No
hetter man ever came to this state
He wav a friend to all who doni
right always willing to help his
neighbors in sickness or health.
His wife died several years ago,
and no one but an All-Wise Provi
dence will ever know how much
good they have done, ami lie will
reward them in that final day. I
knew them forty years ago, and
they helped me and my family
when we needed it, and their many
acts of kindness will never be for
gotten. I am sure that none of
his neighbors and old friends can
say aught against this grand,
good man." Peace to his allies!
Fine Plums.
Mrs. William Olliver, liu'ng two
miles east of Murray, was in the
city Saturday and brought to this
olllce some of the finest plums we
ever gazed upon. She could not
give us the name of the variety,
but they are certainly fine. They
.wore clustered so close together
that there must have been at least
100 on one of tho small limbs
They aro large and Mrs. Oliver
says tho Ireos are filled with this
lueious fruit.
DIAMOND AND ALL-SIS ill
bases on balls. One home run
was made (T him with two men on
bases, giving the visitors three of
their runs in this inning. After
that they succeeded in putting two
more men over the home plate be
fore he finished his half of the
game. Mason came in for the lat
ter half, and while he was just a
trifle wihl tit first, ho succeeded in
giving the visitors a Continuous
line of single O's to the close of
the game. He pitched a good
game, striking out several of the
big fellows, and but very few hits
wens made from his pitching. The
first time the ball has ever been
put over the fence was in this
game, and the big Shamrock
pitcher was the boy that done the
work. Following is the line-up:
boosters liotson and Mason,
pitch; llerold, catch; McCaulley,
first ; C. Smith, second; Ileal,
third; II. Smith, shortstop; Ault,
right field; Scot I en center; Mc
Caig, left.
All Stars Fletcher, pitch; Yost,
catch; Stacy, first; Miller, second;
Anderson, third; Lefler, shortstop;
Eargheine, right; Stacy, center;
Chase, left.
From Moville, Iowa.
John Spangler, wife and family,
from Moville, Iowa, arrived in the
city yesterday and will remain for
a week, visiting with their many
Cass county friends and relatives.
Tin 1 rip was made via the auto
mobile, route in the big Midland
car of Mr. Spangler. Mr. and Mrs.
Spangler lived in Cass county for
a great many years and have a
large number of friends, who will
enjoy their visit.

fertile and the application of
moisture is all that it required to
make it desirable, productive agri

COUNTY CATTLE
SELL AT THE TOP NOTCH
Well Bred and Well Fed Short
horns From Cass County Top
the Market.
(i. W. Snyder, one of the suc
cessful farmers and feeders of
Mynard, Cass county, topped the
cattle market with a drove of
forty-three head of Shorthorn
yearling steers; twenty-two head
of them averaged 900 pounds and
brought 9.20, the highest price
ever paid for yearlings in the
history of this market, and twenty-one
head in the shipment aver
aged 72 i pounds and brought
$8,110. The forty-three head net
ted $3,188 to the owner.
Most of this drove had been
raised by Mr. Snyder himself, and
some he bought up around tho
qountry and they were very nearly
full blood Shorthorns. They had
been on full feed since November
and showed a lino gain in weight
and amply paid for the time and
feed put into them. Mr. Snyder
says he is very partial to tho
Shorthorn breed for feeding pur
poses, as they are gentle and do
well in a confining place. Some
of the cattle in the light drove
were not quite yearlings and nono
of them Were 2 years old.
Mr. Snyder says that ho thinks
in the near future beef will bo still
more of a luxury than it is at
present, but, that in three or four
years prices will again assume a
normal place in tho general scale.
Last winter hay cost $10.50 for
feeding purposes and .it takes a
good price to replace it.
Pastures are looking fine in
Cass county after the recent rains
and the corn is looking good, as it
has not been burned at the bot
tom. Some of it is a little scalded
by some of the light rains and
the ensuing hot sun, but a good
crop is the prediction now. South
Omaha Daily Drovers Journal.
This is the highest price ever
paid for Cass county cattle. Wood
bros. made the sale, and Swift &
Co., who purchased them, expect
to kill them and distribute the
meat in tho surrounding local
markets.
RETURN FROM THEIR TRIP
TO CALIFORNIA AND THE WEST
Mr. Robertson and Family Return
From Trip to California, Much
Benefited by the Trip.
James Robertson, wife and
daughters, Misses blanche and
Marie, returned last Friday from
a two months' trip to the Pacific
coast. Mr. ltobortson visited two
of his sister, living in California,
whom he had not seen for a nuin
ben of years. On going to Cali
fornia he went via the burlington
to Denver and thence to Ogden on
the Denver & Hio Crande; thence
to San Francisco on the Southern
Pacific, and returned via Port
land, Seattle and Vancouver, over
tho Canadian Pacific to Minnea
polis. Mr. Robertson and party found
the California climate delightful,
especially near the ocean on tho
beach. The agricultural interests
prospered in the valleys, but with
out irrigation the country south
of San Francisco would not
amount to much. This is the dry
season there and the rains will
not begin before next month.
Some of (he wheat fields there will
not pay for cutting, owing to lack
of moisture, probably due to
shortage in snowfall in the moun
tains last winter.
Mr.' Robertson visited Long
! H'ach and the points of interest
in the viciniiy. lie saw ooorge
Houseworth and was at the Helps'
garage, but did not get to see
Senator Thomas or Mr. Helps.
The agriculture north of San
Franicseo consisted largely in hop
growing; Ihe land owner usually
has his land tilled here by tho In
dians, who seem adapted to hop
raising. Further over toward the
mountains and on higher ground,
grape-raising is very profitably
carried on. A couple of Swiss
colonies here excel in this line of
hurt icnlture.
Mr. Robert sun enjoyed his vaca
tion verv much and he looks
greatly improved in health.

R. M. SCHLAES MANAGER
DF THE PARMELE THEATER
A deal was closed recently
whereby 11. M. Shlaes will have
ful. control of the Parmele
theater. Mr. Shales contemplates
extensive repairs and a general
overhauling , of this popular
theater. There will be a new steel
ceiling, which will be artistically
decorated; the walls and wood
work will be finely painted in ac
cordance with Mr. Shlaes ideas of
what the public would like. The
carpets and draperies will be re
moved and cleaned and the entire
auditorium and galleries com
pletely overhauled. Mr. Shlaes
will book the best shows obtain
able for the money. ,'.
The theater-going public will be
greatly pleased at tho prospect of
a general overhauling of the play
house. The building has been up
some years now and, in some
places, the plastering has dropped
ofT, giving the room a rather
shabby appearance. All this will
be done away with by placing a
new steel ceiling over tho old one,
and then paint will do the rest. Mr.
Shlaes is a practical show man
and can generally tell what will
take with the Plattsmouth
theater-goers.
