very auspicous circumstances and

on the road and uses two cars to
transport their people and equip
ment from city to city. Their
equipment for street parades sur
passes anything of the sort shown
by any "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
troupe yet visiting Plattsmouth.
NOTHING BUT GENERAL
DELIVERY BY MAIL CARRIERS
Mail Will Be Placed In Lock Boxes
the Same as Ever on
v Sunday.
Plans have been perfected by
Postmaster (ieneral Hitchock
whereby the administration of the
new law prohibiting- the delivery
of mail on , Sunday will have no
serious elVect upon the handling
of important mail matter.
Holders of lock boxes at first
and second class poslolliees will
have access to them as usual, al
though no mail deliveries will be
made by carrier on the streets or
at postofiice windows. Mail for
hotel guests and newspapers will
be delivered to them through their
lock bo'xes by the simple arrange
ment of having that mail sorted
on the railway mail cars before it
reaches its destination. Such mail
will be regarded as "transit mat
ter," and will be distributed im
mediately upon its arrival at the
offices of destination, thus prac
tically insuring a speedier de
livery to the . addresses than
heretofore has been the case.
This distribution will require
a minimum of Sunday work and
the distribution of other mail re
ceived on Sunday will be made af
ter midnight of Sunday, so that it
may be delivered by the carriers
on their first tour on Monday.
Past master Genera! Hitchcock
has issued a statement explan
atory of his' administration of the
new law. His assurance is that
there will be no einbrrassmenl to
the business public and that
through the arrangements he out
lines, urgent mail matter will
reach its destination promptly.
Orders necessary to carry Mr.
Hitchcock's plans into effect will
be issued immediately. The post
master general's statement fol
lows: "There seems to be some mis
apprehension as regards the pro
vision in the postal bill relating lo
the delivery of mail on Sundays.
This provision does not require
the closing of postnffiees on Sun
days, which would be impossible,
owing to the fact that the transit
mail has to Iks sorted and the mail
collected in other cities for dis
patch to other destinations. To
slop the movement of this mail
would mean a serious Hogging of
the whole system of mail trans
portation and consequent incon
venience to the public."

Harney Bardwell will be here
Sunday and Monday to pilch the
game Sunday and the double
header Monday, Labor day. The
A. O. U. W. ball team, which
played the Boosters July 7, the
Sunday following the Fourth,
will interest the boys again Sun
day afternoon and remain over to
play a double-header on Labor
day.
The Omaha fellows beat Platts
mouth at that time, but there is
no one who thinks they will do
so during the coming series. With
Bardwell in the box the home
team will be greatly strengthened.
Barney twirled the sphere for the
Plattsmouth team two years ago
and at that time won over 75 per
cent of the games, and his arm J
has been getting better every
year.
The Plattsmouth boys are ex
pected to play belter ball during
the coming series than ever be
fore. If you have not seen the
game this will be a good lime to
come out and join the fans. The
game will start at 3 o'clock Sun

game in the forenoon Monday
and fine in the afternoon.

A WEDDING THAT OCCURED
' SEVERAL WEEKS AGO
Miss Amy Cook and Mr. Frank
Stewart Married Several
Weeks Ago.
The news of the marriage of
Miss Amy Cook and Frank
Stewart, which occurred a couple
of months ago, has just reached
this city. Miss Cook is the sec
ond daughter of our old friend,
William Cook, the barber, and by
her many accomplishments the
young lady had endeared herself
to a largo circle of Plattsmouth
young people.
Mr. Stewart is also well known
in Plattsmouth, being a young
man of high character and com
manding the respect of all who
knew him. He was employed at
William Barclay's restaurant for
a long lime, leaving this position
to go to Atchison, where his par
ents reside and where a good
position as foreman of a cereal
mill was tendered him.
Miss Cook went to Atchison to
visit relatives some weeks ngo,
and it was while she was on this
visit that the wedding occurred.
The wedding was not kept a
secret from her parents; in fact,
Mr. Cook was present when his
daughter's marriage occurred.
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart have
many friends in this city who will
learn of their nuptials with
pleasure, and while we may seem
a little late with our well wishes,
yet the Journal joins with them
all in the kindest wishes for their
happiness and prosperity.
Splrella Corsets.
Miss Etta Nickels will be in
Plallsmouth Saturday, August 31,
with headquarters at Miss Myers'
millinery store, where she will be
pleased lo see all her customers
