OVERNUR MOREHEAD'S
ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
According to custom Governor
Morehead has issued the annual
Arbor day proclamation setting
forth Wednesday, April 22, as the
proper day to set out trees. The
day is fixed by statute, but is an
nually called to the attention of
he people by the executive officer
of the state. The erovernor savs:
On Wednesday, the 22d inst,
which is fixed by statute as Arbor
day, I suggest that we devote a
portion of the day to the planting
of trees, shrubs and vines, and
that the teachers of the state put
forth a special effort to develop
in the minds of their pupils a love
Tor flowers, plants and birds. The
great life of usefulness before
the child calls for more than
mere book instruction. Let them
be taught to deal with real things
and help them develop a love for
beautiful surroundings.
I earnestly urge that this day
be observed in a loyal and public
spirited manner, that we may
show ourselves worthy to be
known as "The Tree Planters
State."

very fine sets are looked forward
to by the enthusiastic members of
the organization. A structure

be a most pleasing feature of the

For years there has been a lit

CASS COUNTY WRESTLING
FANS TO TURN OUT
Wrestling fans in Louisville,
South Bend, Alvo, Murdock and
the west end of Cass county can't
figure how Frank Schmarder, the
ouisville fuarryman-grappler,
can lose in his coming fray with
George Nelson, the Salt Lake
athlete. They decline to under
estimate Nelson, but they have
een Schmarder give away weight
on so many other occasions that
hey consider the Louisville at ti
de invincible at 175 to 185
pounds. Confident that Schmar
der will be the victor in the con-
est at the Oliver next Thursday
night, the Cass county followers
of the Louisville athlete are com-
ng in force to Lincoln to see the
contest. A phone message, re-
eived last night from Louisville,

Schmarder supporters. The word

Rex Young Improving.
From "Wednesday's Dally.
Albert Young, Sam Pitman and
Bert Root, from Murray, were in
the city a few hours yesterday
levelling looking after some busi
ness matters. Mr. Young informs
us that his brother. Rex, who was
so seriously injured last Satur
day, at which time his team ran
away with him while engaged at
w-ork with a stalk cutter, is get-j
ting along1 nicely, and from pres.
Lnt indications will entirely re-
I cover from his injuries. The
escape was a very narrow one for
Mr. Young, and while he was
thrown from the rear of the cut
ter, he was tangled up in the lines!
in such a manner as to be thrown
against the blades of the cutter,
receiving many wounds in various
portions of the body, several of
wincn were quite deep ana
serious. His many friends will
be pleased to learn that he is
resting easily and permanent re
covery is not far distant.

Suffering From Blood Poison.
From Wednesday's Dally.
W. H. Parsons of this city is
nursing a verv sore hand as the
result of an attack of blood
poison which come on him quit
suddenly. He had the hand in
jured two weeks ago Sunday a
Albia, Iowa, by striking it against
the 'side of a wagon, and at that
time he thought, nothing of the
injury, as it appeared to be only a
slight abrasion of the skin. A
few days ago he noticed a pimple
appearing on the hand, and con
sulting a physician discovered
that he was suffering from blood
poison. The hand lias given the
gentleman a great deal of pain,
but he hopes that it will soon
heal up and allow him the use of
it again.
CONFERENCE
The Meeting Calls Many Ministers
Here and They Enjoy an
Interesting Conference,
The meeting of the minister's
conference at the Methodist
church has attracted a goodly
number of the different pastors
of this section of the Tecumseh
district. The meeting last even
ing at the church was presided
over by Rev. A. Allan Randall of
Nebraska City, formerly pastor
here, and in his remarks he al-
hnded feelinc-lv to his services in
thp rhurch here and the nleasant
feelinp. he ha(1 fop thp members
of th rhrch. and tmid a elow-
in? lrimite n the choir of the
t church, which has done so much
pastor by their hard work for the
upbuilding of the church.
At the meeting last evening the
conference was afforded an un
expected and very pleasant treat
in having with them Rev. I. B
Schrengost, vice chancellor of the
Weslyan university at University
Place, who delivered a most able
address on the subject of "Wis
doms," and in his address he fol
lowed the development of the
human race and the wonderful
improvements that had been
made in machinery and inven
tions, and he then took up the
development of the human heart
and asked the audience if the
culture of the heart had kept
pace through the years with the
other advances of mankind, and
took for an example the story of

OPENING BALL
GAME SUNDAY
AFTERNOON
Sunday Sees the Opening of the
Season Here, When the
Alamitos Play.
The base ball season in Platts
mouth will open on Sunday next
at the Booster ball park, when
our sterling athletes will do bat
tle with the Alamito team of
Omaha, one of the fastest of the
amateur organizations of the me
tropolis, but the boys here feel
that they have got some ball team
themselves and are willing to
take on any of the teams from the
metropolis. The line-up this year
looks mighty good to the lovers
of the great national sport, and
the fans can rest assurred that
the season of 1914 will be one
long to be remembered for the
strong team representing this
city on the diamond.
In Carle and Neitzel the team
?as two excellent catchers, and
Connors on the slab is all that
can possibly be asked. McCauley,
he old veteran, will start the sea
son for the team at first base, but
Smith will be on hand later in
he season to assist in this job.
At the second sack Salsburg will
again slop the lightninsr-like
drives of the catchers, and with
he strong catching staff and Jeff
on the job it will go hard Willi
the man who tries to steal bases.
arriott, the fast little man from
eru, will be on the job at short
this season, and the dope has him
igured out even better than last
season, wnen lie made sucn a
good showing with the locals. At
the third sack Pete Herold will
again make his appearance in a
J Booster uniform, and is filled
with enthusiasm for the game
and promises to makes the fans
sit up and take notice of the
quality of base ball furnished
them this year. In the outer gar
den Carle, Mason and Beal will
appear, as well as Mann, one of
the old reliable men on the team,
and with this line-up in view
there is every reason for the fans
of Plattsmouth looking forward
with pleasure to the coming sea
son. The grounds have been fixed up
in fine shape and are now as
smooth and level as it is possible
to get them, and the boys were
out last evening getting warmed
up for the active work of the sea
son, and when it is started out
you want to keep your eyes on
this city and her fast bunch of
ball players. Be sure to be on
hand Sunday and see the opening
game and get the boys started off
right.
