Germans Were in Attendance
From Every Section of the
County, Nebraska City
and Omana.
German Day in I'laltsmoutli lias
proven a success in every respect
and the committee who arranRetl
the event are delighted with the
result of the two days' festivities.
(Saturday, the first day, came with
bright blue skies, and early in the
day the sturdy representatives of
the German race began pouring
into the city to assist in celebrat
ing the day set apart for the Ger
man people to gather together and
honor the language and customs
of the fatherland across the sea.
The business houses of the city
were all liberally decorated with
the American and German (lags
and presented a very handsome
eight to the visitors.
The parade, which started from
the Deutsch Mouse at 2:30, was
one of the largest and best that
has been seen in this city in re
cent years, ami consisted of about
500 representatives of the differ
ent German societies of. (he city
and a large number of automo
biles containing those who did
not feel equal lo the task of
marching in the parade. Chief of
Police Hen llainey, mounted on a
black charger, headed the proces
sion, followed by the splendid
Iturlinglon Route' band and I he
auto containing Mayor Saltier and
the orator of the day, Mr. F.ssor,
of Lincoln.
The parade moved down Main
street to the Iturlinglon station
and then couulcr-mnrehcd up
Main si reel and out Washington
avenue to the hall, where the band
favored tin crowd with one of
their excellent selections, and the
mayor in a brief speech, extended
the welcome of the cily lo those
representatives of the German
nationality. The parade was (lieu
re-formed and proceeded lo the
court house, where the orator of
the day, Mi1. Essor, addressed the
large crowd in the German
tongue, telling of I he niigral ion of
the Germans to this country in
the colonial days, of the deep im
pression (hey had made in the lif
and history of the new world, lb
also touched upon the life of tin
people in the fatherland, of Iheii
customs ami of I he splendid
educational institutions that have
made Germany famous the world
over. Mr. Essor was a most in
teresting speaker and held lb
rapl attention of his audience un
til the close of his remarks. At
(he close of (he speaking the band
played a selection at each street
crossing in the business part of
the cily, and then adjourned until
after supper.
Milimiuy evening tne gram
ball al the liulsch Mouse was the
main event and drew the largest
crowd that has attended a similar
event in this cily in years, it be
ing almost impossible lo get into
the hall, so large was the crowd
The M. V. A. orchestra furnishei
, 1he music for the event, and every
one who was present enjoed
themselves lo I he limit and III
evening passed on" in Hue shape
without a hitch in any particular
and as the midnight hour drew
near the happy dancers began lo
wend their way homeward lo res!,
after a day filled with enjoyment
and fun.
The concert Sunday evening at
the Parmele theater was greeted
by a large audience, composed of
the German residents of (he city,
and was one of the most delightful
musical events that has ever taken
place in this city. The concert
opened by a selection by the
Ernest Reese orchestra of Oma
ha and received a warm reception
from the audience. This orchestra
is composed of some of I he best
musicians in Omaha and they
demonstrated their ability along
that line in their appearance in
Hie concert last evening. Follow
ing the opening number, Mayor
Saltier, in a few well chosen re
marks, introduced lion. John
Mattes, jr., of Nebraska City, who
spoke fur a short, time on the Ger
man race, telling of (he events of
history thai had made the people
what they were; of the love of
country that the German had al-
ways displayed, and of the patriot
ism they had shown In this
country.
The Franz Abl double quarld,
composed of some of the finest
male voices that look part in the
late sangcrfest, rendered a sdee-
lion, following the speaking, that
won the hearts of the audience
by their beautiful singing, the ac
companiment being played by
Prof. Theodore lleese, the musical
director, and one of the finest
piano players that has appeared
in (his city. The quartet respond
ed graciously to the encore and
sang another number in their
beautiful manner.
Peter I.aux, the great bass solo
ist of Omaha, favored the audience
with one of his beautiful solors.
Mr. I.aux has an exceptionally
powerful voice and completely
tilled Ihe theater with the sweet
tones of his voice. The violin solo,
Concerto No. 7, by DcHeriol, ren
dered by Mrs. K. Reese of Omaha,
aptivated the audience by its
icauty and masterly manner in
which Mrs. Reese brought the
mes from the violin. Mrs. lleese
i one of Ihe leading musicians
of Ihe metropolis, and has been
on an extended concert tour of the
asl, and Ihe committee was very
pi'lunafe in securing her to ap
pear at I tie (icrman nay concert.
The sketch given by Messrs.
Sekropp, I.anghorst ami Lehinann,
proved to be one of the hits of the
evening, n was in trie nature ot
musical farce ami gave the
gentlemen a fine opportunity for
some very clever work along (he
omedy line, and kepi the audi
nce in a constant roar of laugh
er by their telling remarks. Af
er another number by Ihe or
chestra the quartet favored the
audience with I wo numbers in the
English language, which received
as hearty a welcome as those sang
in German, and demonstrated that
the genet lemen were as much at
home with one language as Ihe
other. This was followed by a
humorous -musical sketch by that
prince of entertainers, Ferdinand
.elimann, and he certainly kepi
up his reputation as a comedian
iy the different jokes he sprang
upon the different prominent Ger
man residents of the city. Mr.
.eliinann was compelled to re
pond lo a number of encores,
which he did in his most happy
manner.
The Abl double quartet favored
the audience with another of their
splendid selections, which further
intrenched them in the hearts of
e audience and which was
warmly applauded. Mrs. Reese
gave one of her beautiful violin
numbers in her usual charming
manner, and in response to the
ipplause rendered a medley of
American airs in a manner that
only an artist can produce. The
orrhedra closed the program by
a selection of American airs, and
the audience adjourned lo Hie
Dclilsrll Mouse, feeling that they
mil been most fortunate in at
endinir theconcerl. and delighted
wilh the beautiful manner in
which the Omaha artists remler-
Ihe dilTct'enl numbers.
After the concert, a reception
was tendered ttie visitors at llie
lieuiscli House and was largely
attended, and the guests were
how n a most enjoyable time by
lie committee in charge. The or
chestra, under the leadership of
llerr Ernest lleese, played for the
dance at the Mouse, which was
participated in by the company.
The coinniillee who got up Hie
celebration and carried it to such
a successful conclusion, are de
serving of a great deal of credit
for the able manner in which they
conducted affairs, as well as
Mayor Saltier, who had labored
long ami hard lo make Hie meet
ing of the Germans, a great success.

HOME MISS LOUISE GORDER
ENTERED AND $56 TAKEN
CEDAR CREEK PUT II
OVER THE BOOSTERS
Very Interesting Game Witnessed
by Number of Fans, Some
Coming From Cedar Creek.
3,
Last night or early this morn
ing someone entered the home of
Miss Louise Gorder, on North
Third street, and secured $56,
which Miss Gorder had left in a
handbag in her room. The thief
made his entrance through the
front door, which had evidently
been left unlocked, and proceeded
to search the house, securing the
money, which was in the bedroom
of Miss Gorder. That the lady
heard nothing of Ihe robber in the
room leads her to believe that she
was placed under the influence of
chloroform or some other sleep
producing drug, as she did not
awaken until after 8 o'clock this
morning, when the loss of the
mone'y was discovered. The party
or parties departed from the
house without leaving any clew by
which they could be detected, but
Ihe police are on the hunt for the
offender.
Hon. W. B. Banning.
The Syracuse (Otoe county)

"For senator Mr. Banning is fully

whom all may place confidence,
and who stands where Ihe people
know him lo be anil not where
they have lo guess at his position
Me can be trusted, both before and
after his election, and will not
betray any faction of his con
st iluency to catch voles."

Cedar Creek i, Plattsmouth
is the total result of a most in
teresting game of base ball pulled
off at the Roosters' park yester
day, and the chief cause of the
Roosters' defeat can he laid at the
door of one, Connors, who pitched
for Cedar Creek, and it was some
game tie pitched, too, only two
little hits being secured off him.
Noah, who did the tossing for the
local team, was not, in his usual
form and the hits of the Cedar
Creek boys came at the times
when they were most needed, but
most of the putouts made by the
Roofers were through the assist
ance of Noah, who played a great
fielding game, but was poorly sup
ported by his team-mates.
Mi Ihe first inning neither side
scored, but in the second Ihe
Roosters secured one run, when
C. Smilh got to second on an
error and scored on Louie Smith's
out at first. The third was a blank
for both sides. In the fourth Ihe
Cedar Creek boys got busy and
proceeded to annex two runs to
their credit. Salsburg, the first
man tip, hit safe to right, and was
followed by Gobelman, who drove
a hot one lo second, making first
safely; the next man up struck
out, but Salsburg succeeded in
gelling home. Gobelman came
home on a little Texas leaguer,
which ended the scoring for Ibis
inning, as the next two men were
put out.
The fifth inning added another
to Cedar Creek's score. Connors
was out, Noah to McCauley, but
Schneider came to bat and rapped
out a three-bagger and came un
der the wire on Mir's hit to short.
The seventh inning allowed the
Roosters lo tit? Ihe score. Mc
Cauley, the first man up, hit a
grounder to third and was safe on
an error by (he third baseman.
Ilerold hit to second and the first
baseman allowed Ihe ball to roll
out of his glove, allowing him lo
reach the sack in safely. Mac.
came home on C. Smith's out ah
first, and Ilerold scored on L. !
Smith's hit. lo center field. Mason !
and Long, who followed al bat,
were put out and the side retired.
In the ninth Cedar Creek put
over Ihe needed run and won Ihe
game. With two men gone Con
nors secured first on u little
bingle, stole second and scored on
Schneider's hit lo center. The
Roosters were unable lo do any
thing in their half and Ihe crown
of viclory rests on the Cedar

Yesterday afternoon about i
o'clock, while August Rach, sr.,

wife, were driving out into the
country to visit friends, their
team became frightened and ran
away, and it was most fortunate
that none of them were killed. The
accident happened on Ihe road
south of the shops, and was
caused by a runaway horse be
longing to Mike Lulz, which had
broken out of the bnrn and ran
down Ihe road, carrying a part of
the manger with it. The horse
was coming down the road when
