THE GLORIOUS
OLD FOURTH
JF JULY !
If Not, Why Not? Let Majority of
Business Men of Plattsmouth
Say Yes or No.
'the near approach of the
Fourth of July has ci.used many
in Hie cily who are interested lo
raise the question as to whether
we are to celebrate the glorious
Fourth or not in JMattsmouth this
year. Last year there was an ef
fort made on the part of some to
start the ball to rolling, but it,
like tin; fall festival, went glim
mering. If a success is to be
mad. of a celebration, now is the
time to start and every eil'ort
should be made to see what can
be done in the way of securing'
attractions and amusements if
the day is to be celebrated. Then
were large numbers of the farniei
resident of the county disap
pointed last year in the failure to
celebrate, as they would rather
by far come to JMattsmouth than
any town in the county, and feel
u'eepiy that they were not a Hord
ed the chance of spending their
Fourth here, where they could
visit with their friends and hae
a good time.
The success of everv eelebra-
tion held here in the last twenty
years has clearly shown that
I'lattsmoiith is the one place in
the county that can draw the
crowds all Hie time, although this
is in no way disparging to the
smaller towns in the county that
hae shown their enterprise 1"
holding celebrations in Hie past
few years, when otherwise the
great natal day would have slip
ped by without recognition by
pulil i. celebrations.
I.et the ciliens think over the
proposition and try and arrange a
celebration that will furnish
amusement for our own people
ami aiso ior me residents oi me
county who may desire to come
here to celebrate.
BACH'S DELIVERY TEAM
RUNS AWAY AND DAMAGES
UP OCCUPANTS OF WAGON
From "Wednesday's iJaily.
Yesterday the delivery team
belonging to tin; linn of A. !.
liaeh indulged in quite a lively
spin down Lincoln avenue, and
as a result Farl Hyde, the driver
and Karl JJrittain, who was riding
with him, are quite stiff and sore
as the result of falling from the
waon. The team was coining
alonjr the alley near the residence
of John YVynii, when the wupm
struck a rut in tin; road and the
jar caused an empty gasoline can
which was in the back of the wa
pon to fall out and this frighten
ed the team, which started to run
down toward Lincoln avenue,
where they turned north and
started for the business part of
the city. Ynun? Uriltain fell out
of the seat down between the
tongue and the wami and was
badly bruised and cut and il re
quired the services of a surgeon
to fix him up. The driver, Karl
llde, sustained, no serious in
juries beyond a severe shaking up
and several minor bruises. The
team continued their llijrht down
Lincoln avenue until they reached
Third street, where they ran into
lie yard at the lMnpIe home and
were stopped there.

MAN LEY ARE
GOOD BOOSTERS
The Journal Man Visits the Thriv
ing Little City and Meets
Numerous Friends.
A few days ajro the Journal
man made a lillle trip oer to the
central part of the county, and
while beintr near Hie greatest
base ball center of Cass county,
the litlle town of Mauley, we of
course stopp.ed there for a few
moments' visit with the genial
business men of thai little village
in size, but jireat when it conies
to the national e.nnie of base ball.
At the present lime .Mauley has
a reat lead in the Cass County
league, and from all appearances
they are jzoin to keep it. The
people of Mauley and the entire
surrounding territory are very
enthusiastic over their ball team
and they have a ri.uht to be, for
Ihey have certainly been playing
a fast jraine all season.
While there we had the pleas
ure of meetiiifx a number of the
Journal's piml friends in that
locality, amontr whom were V. J.
Hau, the genial banker: John
Tif-'he. the retired rain man. and
his son, Lee. who is a member of
the srrain firm of Tiphe & Bourke,
doiuy business at the old stand
established by John Tihe many
years apt. Here we found busi
ness as of old, with the younger
Tinhe busy receiving pram, but
just a few moments time for a
brief visit.
Then. Harm, thw leading mer
chant of Mauley, was also at his
usual place of business, and
while not, er busy at thai time,
he reports a trood trade, and
everything around Manley look
ing exceptionally rood. Manley is
located in one of the mos( pros
perous and progressive farming
communil ies-in all the preal slate
f Nebraska.
There will be a -''inline base
ball contest in this little village on
next Sunday, at which time the
Manley team will cross bats with
Kaj-'le, two of the strongest teams
in the Cass County league, and
there is sure some pame looked
forward fo. The fans will all be
out on that day. and an excep
tionally la rye attendance is look
ed for.

ed early in the evening at the C
M. Milliners home, and provided
with ample provisions for the oc
casion, moved onto the Crook
home and completely took the
yuesl of honor by storm, as she
was not aware of the pleasant
time in store for her. After Mrs.
Crook had recovered from the
full effect of the surprise she
entered thoroughly into the spirit
of the event and made the quests
feel entirely at home in the en
joyment of the delightful hos
pilalitv of the occasion. Music
and social conversation served to
pass the time away in a most
pb-asiny manner, and it was with
reyret that they departed for
their homes, feel in. v: that it had
been a most chai-miny occasion,
and wishing Mrs. Crook many
happy returns of the day and
many more happy birthdays. A
most delicious luncheon at an
appropriate hour added yreatly
to the pleasures of the evening
and was most thoroughly enjoyed
by all who were present.

ing so great. He says that small grain
will be exceedingly heavy in and
around his section of the country and
that corn is looking fine, most of it
already having been plowed the first
time.

Democrat, but this year has filed for
the senate for the Fifteenth district

Take Plenty . of Time to Eat.
There is a saying that "rapid
eating is slow suicide." If you
have formed the habit of eating
loo rapidly yuu are most likely
suffering from indigestion or
constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness un
less corrected. Digestion begins
in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and in
salivated. Then when you have a
fullness of the stomach or feel
dull and stupid after eating-, take
one of Chamberlain's Tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these
tablets. They are easy to lake
and most agreeable in eH'cct. Sold
