Family Groups at Home.
From Saturday's Pally.
The Fourth passed oil very
quietly in this city yesterday,
there being no large celebration
held in the city proper, but every
one seemed to enjoy themselves
to the utmost.
The old-fashioned celebration
and picnic at the Tulene place,
west of the city, drew out quite a
crowd and everyone who attend
ed the celebration report a most
enjoyable time, free from all
noise and trouble. A large dance
platform on the grounds furnish
ed amusement for the lovers of
the light fantastic, and the kid
dies, as well as a number of the
older ones, took delight in the
merry-go-round. In the evening
the crowd was very large, and it
was a late hour when the happy
dancers departed for their homes,
feeling that the occasion was one
long to be remembered. The
music for the dance was furnish
ed by the Plattsniouth orchestra,
under the direction of Tom
Swoboda, and was up to the usual
high standard of the organiza
tion. There was quite a number of
our people attended the Glenwood
celebration, as Ijie train service
to that city was much more con
venient than either to Louisville
or Weeping Water, and as a con
sequence the Iowa city received a
large attendance from this city.
There were several automobile
parties from this city to Louis
ville, where the Burlington band
furnished the music for the day,
and a large crowd is reported as
being in attendance at that place.
There was a large crowd re
ported at the Weeping Water
celebration, most of whom came
from the southern part of the
county.
Private Home Celebrations.
The Fourth of July was made
the occasion for a number of very
enjoyable picnic parties and din
ners in this city, where a number
of our people spent the day most
enjoyably in visiting and having
a general good time.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. II.
Wescott on High School Hill was
the scene of a very merry gather
ing, when they entertained at a
picnic on the lawn for Mr. and
Mrs. G. E. Wescott, G. G. Wescott
and family and Mrs. Mao Morgan
and daughter, Clara Mae.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
William Baird was another very
pleasant gathering, Mr. and Mrs.
C. A. Rawls, Dr. and Mrs. E. D.
Cummins and family and It. Glen

lightfully entertained at this hos
pitable home during the after
noon and evening.

Goes to Kearney School.
From Saturday's Dally.
The question of the identity of
the party who has been in the
habit of taking the teams of the
farmers from where they are
hitched and riding around has
been solved, as the police have
apprehended Ray Melburn, a
young lad, for the offense, but as
the authorities have had a
previous complaint against him,
he will be taken to the state
school at Kearney. The farmers
have been complaining for some
time past of the habit of parties
taking their teams and the police
immediately got busy and dis
covered the culpit.

From what we can learn from

from Suturdav's Dallv.
After having passed over the
Fourth without any injuries
Robert Peters, the young son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Peters, con
cluded to have another ceelbra
ion and secured a' small piece of
inch pipe and tilled it with some
powder that he secured from his
firecrackers and set a match to
the improvised cannon, with the
result that it exploded and lacer
ated his right hand in a terrible
manner, tearing the flesh loose,
and it is a miracle that some of
lis lingers were not torn off by
Hip explosion. The lad displayed
great bravery and went to the
office of Dr. Livingston, where the
wound was dressed. It required
a number of stitches. to close the
wound, and although the pain
was very acute, Robert did not
utter a complaint, but submitted
to the dressing in a manner that
displayed great courage. It is
thought that the hand will hea
up without any serious effects
although it will be some time be
fore he will be able to use it.
Surprising Cure of Stomach
Trouble.
When you have trouble with
your stomacn or enronic con
stipation, don't imagine that your
case is beyond help just because
your doctor fails to give you re
lief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plalnfleld,
N. J., writes, "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset
it terribly. One of Chamberlain's
advertising booklets came lo me.
After reading a few of the letters
from people who had been cured
by Chamberlain's Tablets, I de
cided to try them. I have taken
nearly three-fourths of a pack
age of them and can now eat al
most everything that I want." For

Boosters Get Ftxens Put to Them
by Umpire From Omaha, Not
Deservedly, However.
From .Saturday's Dally.
The fans of Plattsniouth were
given a rare treat tne morning
game of the Fourth of July, when
the Ahlambras of Omaha suc
ceeded in winning the contest by
score of 1 to 0, and although
efeated, the home team has
nothing to be ashamed of as, they
played gilt edged ball throughout
the contest and but for an error
the sixth inning, when Carle
threw to Gobelman at third to
alch Home, who was on the base
for the visitors, the game might
till be going on, but on the throw
lobelman failed to catch the ball
and it rolled out into the field, al-
owing the visitors to register the
only score of the game.
Both Connors for the Boosters
and .McGuire for the Alhambras
were in fine form and the hits off
f either were few and far be
tween, but if anything Connor had
I lie best of the pitchiiyr, as he
was able at critical times to strike
out the visitors. McGuire started
at her w ild, but as the game pro
gressed tie steamed down and nad
good control at the close.
In the eighth Plattsniouth
ioked dangerous for a few min
utes, but Ault, who had reached
second, was caught off third in
an attempted steal and uie side
retired. The game was the best
seen on the local grounds this
season and the audience felt well
epaid for attending, even if we
ost. as the contest was as good

the mound for the locals and
Ditched as fine a game as has
been seen here this season, am
the old scout deserves a world of
praise for his good, earnest work
for a victory, and should have
had it had not there been so many
errors checked up ny nis leam-
mates. as well as a number of
bone-headed plays pulled off. The
Alhambras had their famous
pitcher, Vernon, in the box unti
the eighth inning, when he wag
pulled out and Pete McGuire, who
had been the big smoke in the
first game, was substituted, and
finally won the game by a score
of C to 5.
The visitors started the scoring
in fhe second, when McGuire se
cured a hit over shortstop and
Lacy and Germmar were out, and
then Vernon hit over second base
scoring' McGuire. .
Plattsniouth scored in the third
for the first time. Carle struck
out, Ault hit a nice sare fly lo
right field and was followed by
Beal, who drove one over short
slop for one bag. Ault, however
failed to get the required amount
of speed on the bases and was
easily tagged on third. Mann then
came to the rescue and placed a
safe one in the left garden that
hronuhf. Beal over the pan am
tied the score. Smith, who fol
lowed Mann, struck out.
In the fourth the locals again
registered two scores. Salsburg,
the first man up. hit to right for
a safe one and was followed by
Gobelman. who secured a good
one off Vernon to the right field
nnd after Solsburg was retired at
third, scored on the drive of Ma
son to left field, and Connor, wh
followed, was safe on the first
sack and scored on a hit to
center.
In the 'sixth inning Dodd for
the Alhambras placed a nice one
down to shortstop, which was not
handled quick enough and he was
afe on the first sack, but was
caught off the bag a few minutes
ater and retired. Seilsberwr. the
ittle center llelder for the visit
ors, secured a safe one over sec
ond and scored on Nystroin's
drive to left, coming home on the
tiirow-in. McGuire retired the
ide by going out. Smith to Ault.
The seventh showed up well in
the scoring line for both sides.
he visitors started right after
the bacon, as Lacy, the first man
up, was safe on an error at short.
Germ mar .struck out, but Vernon
who followed, lined out a fwo
bageer. the only real stronic hit
made during the game. Home
then secured a single that
brought Lacy home, and Richter's
rive to right field resulted in
loth Vernon and Gerinmar scor
ing. In our hair or the inning
Ault was given a pass to first by
ernon, Beal struck out, Mann
got a nice clean drive through
hort, and when Smith secured a
afe one to left Ault scored and
Mann came home on Salsburg's
out at first, Gobelman was rer
tired on a little line drive to first.
The game being tied up by a
score or ii to r, if was necessary
to play an extra inning, and the
boys from the metropolis pro
ceeded to gather in the victory in
the tenth and won. although the
game was practically given to
them by the errors of our boys.
With one out in the tenth Ny
stroni secured a little hit to third,
and he scored on McGuire s hit to
eft Held, which ended the con
test, as the next two men struck
out. There was nothing doing m
our half of the inning and the
game was finished with the visit.

111 II DOVEY LIE
From Saturday's Dally.
One of the best and neatest
jobs of concrete work that has
been seen in this city is at the
home of George E. Dovey, on
North Fourth street, where some
very extensive improvements have
been made in the past two
months, and. the property placed
in excellent shape. The concrete
work has all been done under the
supervision of "Uncle" Tom Ken-
nish, and is certainly a piece of
work of which he may feel proud.
he job amounted to some $800
worth of concrete work and in-
ludes a pit in the garage con
structed entirely of concrete,
ight feet long, four feet wide
and six feet deep, that will greatly
aid in the work of the caretakers
of the autos. A wall some three
feet high has been placed by Mr.
Kennish along the west side of
the Dovey property lo prevent the
irl caving off, as well as line
oncrcte walks all around the
louse and outbuildings, and an
leganl driveway constructed to
the garage that is the equal of
any in the city. The concrete
work of Mr. Kennish has a very
flue color and evenness. For a
number of years in the east Mr.
ennish followed the concrete
work as a business, and assisted
his brother in several large con
tracts, which they tilled with per-
ol satisfaction to everyone who
ad I hem do their work.
LEASANT SURPRISE TO A
CHARMING YOUNG LADY
A very pleasant surprise parly,
was given Wednesday evening at
e home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Thompson on Vine street. The

ranged by her mother and a nuni-
icr of young lady friends, and her

her and showered her with con
gratulations on the happy oc-
ision. Music, both vocal and
instrumental, was enjoyed during
e evening by the young ladies,
and at an appropriate hour most
tempting refreshments were
served, which further heightened
the pleasures of the evening. Tho
guests were members of a ken
Rington club of which Miss Lil
ian is also a member, and the

John Weyrich, who has for Ihe
past two years had his shop in

receive prompt attention.
A Good Investment.
W. D. Magli, a well known
merchant of Whitemound, Wis.,
bought a stock of Chamberlain's
medicine so as to be able to sup
ply them to his customers. After
receiving them he was himself
taken sick and says that one small
bottle of Chamberlain Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy was
worth more lo him than the cost
of his entire stock of these medi
cines. For sale by all Lealers.
