THE TENT AND CHURCH
Immense Audiences in Attendance
at the Meetings During the
Day and Night.
At the close of a day. '"as rare
as a day in June," m fact that
very thing, last evening the peo
ple came from all directions, in
aulos, buggies, wagons, on foot,
in great troops, sometimes tilling
Ihe entire pavements, all going
toward the big tent, where the
union services were being held,
until the canvas was nearly
crowded full, and there were
those sitting in vehicles of all
kinds in the streets, and standing
on the walks listening to the
superb music, for it was tine; the
singing of the chorus, the special
numbers and the little girls' choir
making in all a most enjoyable
lime with the singing alone, and
one which all could well enjoy,
well paying all who came.
Hesides the musical features of
the meetings, Ihe address which
Rev. Smith made was one which
appealed to all his listeners. His
subject was "The Greatest. Ques
tion in Ihe World," and his text
was the words of Pontius l'ilate,
which was "W hat will you do with
Jesus which is called the
Christ?" This question was pro
pounded to all present and
elicited a response in a goodly
number of decisions fur the
Master.
Nearly 800 were gathered in
and about the tent at the evening
meeting, and the interest seems
to have gained much during the
meetings, llev. Smith announced
that he will be compelled to close
I be meetings at this place at the
end of this month though lie
would like to remain longer but
having 'an engagement elsewhere
which begins with I lie first day of
July, h,e will be compelled o close
with I hal. dale.
In the morning Ihe union Sun
day school comfortably filled the
sealing capacity of the lent ii the
auditorium department, and was
a meeting of much good. This
was followed by the meeting of
Ihe morning, which was well at
tended. The men's meeting in
Ihe afternoon was attended by an
interested audience, but by not, so
urge a number as on Ihe previous
Sunday. Much interest was
manifested and a number of de-
isions were made.
At the l'resbylerian church al
Ihe same hour as the men's meet
ing, a woman's meeting was con-
lurtcd by Mrs. Mriggs, at. which
ere was a goodly crowd and
much interest in the services,
which consisted of much musical
service, in charge of Miss 'Ma
thilda Vallery, which goes with
out saying that it was good. Tie-
sides Ihe scripture lesson and
the discussion there was one by
Mrs. G. I Eastwood on bible
characters, Mrs. M. A. Dickson on
the life of Canon 11. H. Hurgess,
giving somewhat of his history
and work in this city. Mrs. A. K.
(iass also gave an excellent paper
on the life of Ihe late llev. J. T.
Heard, which was replete with
incidents of his life and work for
Ihe spreading of the gospel of
Christ. Misses Olive (lass, Fan
nie Crosby and Eslelle Haird also
gave splendid papers on some of
Ihe women workers who had
dedicated their lives to the serv
ice and some of the things which
(hey had accomplished.
For this week preparations
have been made for cottage prayer
meetings, which will be held at
the different residences of the
city, notice of which will be pub
lished, and conducted by the
evangelists and the ministers of
the city.
Former Residents Here.
Among the party of visiting
Kagl' here Saturday nictit from I
South Omaha was a well known
former Plattsiuouth man and his;
wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Koch, j
noin ui wnoin were wen aim
favorably known when residents
of Ihi-i city. Mr. Koch while here
was employed as a cigar-maker
for Julius Pepperberg and was
well known iir musical circles, be
ing a most talented vocalist, and
appeared at many entertainments
here. . Mrs. Koch was formerly
Miss Sarah Ramsey of this city,
and was a very popular and
charming young lady, and both of
these people have a host of
friends who were delighted to see
their friends again.
A MATTER BROUGHT
FORCIBLY
The Big Crowd in Town Saturday
Demonstrated That More Hitch
Racks Were Badly Needed.
Saturday afternoon the streets
of the city presented a very lively
appearance, as the city was
crowded with shoppers from the
country and out of town and the
business men enjoyed one of the
best days they have had for sev
eral months. The streets were
tilled with teams and automobiles
ami the lack of suitable places to
hitch teams was brought very
forcibly to mind, as there was not
nearly enough places for the
farmers to lie their teams while
attending to their shopping.
The fanners of the county all
like to come to this city to do
their trading, as heller stores or
larger slocks of goods to select
from cannot be found anywhere
outside of the larger cities, and
it is a great pleasure for Ihe old-j
er fanners to gal tier together and
talk over the conditions of the
crops and visit as well, and the
wives and daughters can liud a
splendid opportunity to attend to
their week-end shopping. Several
of the stores have been progres
sive enough to provide rest rooms
for their customers and visitors
and this is a feature that should
receive the attention of every
merchant .and , they should see
that every effort is made to pro
vide for the comfort of those who
come here to trade and I hey
should be made to feel that
Plattsmouth is glad lo have I hem
come here and hopes, lo have
more in the future make this
their trading headquarters.
Some Fine Boy.
The Omaha Ilea of yesterday,
among the pictures of the babies
of the metropolis, had one on ita
page of William Cook Ramsey, the
little son of 'Mr. and Mrs. V. C.
Ramsey, and the friends here of
the little lad's father could easily
trace out a striking resemblance
between Ihe young man and his
sire. The little tnanr from the
picture, appears as a verv lively
little lot, and well worthy ot tne
pride taken in him by his parents,
as well as the grandparents,
Judge and Mrs. 11. S. Rainsev, of
this city.

I have taken charge of Ihe Mis
souri River Ferry, creeled new

This afternoon County Attor
ney Taylor filed a complaint in
the county court against two
young girls of this city, charging
them with being incorrigible and
with conducting themselves in a
manner that warranted their be
ing sent to the state industrial
school for girls at Geneva, Neb.
Last night an automobile party
was observed near the court
house, and it being near the mid
night hour, the police investigated
and found several young men and
the girls in the car and made
them gel out and depart for the
places where they were staying,
with the threat of placing them
in jail, and this morning a formal
complaint was lodged with the
county attorney and the case was
set for 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The automobile party is -supposed
lo be from Louisville, and
Ihe girls, on being questioned,
denied that the men had made
any suggestions or remarks in
any way offensive to them, but
the circumstances in which they
were found was not of the best.
This case is but another where
girls from 13 to 18 years of age
are allowed' to roam the streets
unchecked and become associated
with those who have not the best
of character, nnd as a con
sequence, an inexperienced girl
drifts into Ihe ways of these peo
ple and there is much grief for
both parents and children.

There is quite a good story lold
on one of our prominent business
men I hat illustrates the truth of
I lie proverb that "honesty is the
best policy." The merchant in
question was preparing to enter
lain a number of his friends a
few nights ago and thought, that
he would add to the refreshments
served by using an egg, and ac
cordingly visited one of the
grocery stores, and seeing a few
eggs lying in the rear of the
store room, picked one up and
hastened back to where his
friends were awaiting him, and
procuring a glass gently broke
Ihe egg into it, and then a general
tampede was started for the door
and the aforesaid merchant car
ried the glass to the rear door and
(lung the fragrant mess as far as
Entertains for Miss Thompson.
A most charming afternoon
was enjoyed at the home of Mrs.
William llinrichsen Friday when
she entertained a few friends in
honor of Miss (I race, Thompson
of Sahula, Iowa, who is visiting
here with her aunt, Mrs. E. B.
Thrall, and who leaves tomorrow
for her home. The afternoon was
very enjoyably spent by the ladies
at cards and social conversation
until an appropriate hour, when
some very templing refreshments
were served by Ihe hostess, which
greatly added to the pleasures of
the afternoon.
