REMODELING
THEIR PLACE
(HUSKS
Building Occupied by the Simons
Company Will Be Greatly Im
proved Right Away.
The business section of the city
i to be improved greatly by the
remodeling of the building oc
cupied by the Simons company on
Main street. The work will start
today ami a thorough remodeling
of the entile store room is plan
ned by the firm, that will gie
them, when it is finished, one of
t he best store rooms in the eity.
A new front will be plaeed in tin
building that will be in keeping
with the latest designs in store
fronts that can be found in any
of the larger cities. Huge plafe
glass windows will replace the
old tyle ones that have for years
been used in the building and the
interior of the store will be light
ed by a large section of prison
glas that will be placed at the
top part of the windows, over
the inclosed section used for the
display of goods. There will be
an entry way extending back some
six feet from the present front of
tlo store building, and this en
trance will be finished in a very
hamKomes manner. The work on
the front of the store will be done
by the firm of peters & Richards,
the contractors, who will also
have charge of remodeling and
finishing of the interior of the
building. New fixtures will be
plaeed in the store building and
the wlnde interior receie a re
decoration and cleaning. The firm
of John liauer has the contract
for the placing of a new steel
ceiling in the store room of the
latest pattern, and which will add
materially to the beauty of the
store. , general harmonious plan
of decorations will be used that
will make the interior of the re
modeled store a thing of beauty
and one that will be a ere. lit to
the enterprising firm owning the
store. The present arrangements
in the store loom is such that the
firm is unable to display as they
would like the large slock of
goods carried and they find thai
it is necessary to enlarge and
iiioudernie their place of husci
ncss and display the proper spirit
in taking the matter in hand as
I hev ha e.
NABBED FOR ROBBING
REGISTER OF 85 CENTS
Last niht the meat market of
John Swindell, at Weeping Water,
was entered and the cash register
burglarized of t he sii m of 85 cent s
and the person making the en
trance in the store was uabhed by
.Marshal .Noel and lodged in jail
there. It pro-d to , a young
boy named Wagner, aged tl
years, who was the burglar. For
some time someone has been in
the habit of entering the store
and taking money from the cash
register and ringing up on the
machine a large sum. and the
proprietor has been at a loss to
discover who the parly doing this
was. and notified Marshal Noel of
the mailer an. J that olticer laid
for the burglar, with the result
that he nabbed young Wagner
last night afler he had made his
entrance into the store through
a window in the rear of the store
building. The Jtoy will be brought
here this afternoon by Mr. Noel
and will be arraigned in the court
of Justice M. Archer. Owing to
his youth the boy will probably
only be given a senlence in the
reformat ory for the offense,
where lo can receive I raining that
will til him for usefulness and
rure him of hi- habit, of making
en! ranee into places where he has
no business.

Shows Progressive Spirit.
Our old friend. ' Uncle" Henry
Boeck, who is getting well along
in years, finds that he is not able
to climb stairs with all the speed
of former years and he finds it
extremely dilficult to reach the
office of his attorney, J. K. Doug
lass, in the Dovey block. To
overcome partially the work of
climbing the stairs, Mr. Hoeek
has constructed, at his own ex
pense, a hand rail along the side
of the stairs that will aid those
who are compelled to use the
stairway. Whenever Mr. lloeek
thinks that something is needed
in the way of improvements he
always gets busy and sees that it
is fixed.
SOME NECESSARY IM
PROVEMENTS TO BE MADE
AT THE BALL PARK
Another improvement has been
made in the base ball park east of
the Burlington station that will
till a long-felt want, and Uiat is
the securing of a water supply for
use of the grounds. The base ball
association has had a well sunk
on the grounds and a pump in
stalled that will give them plenty
of water for use of the players
and for sprinkling the grounds
and ridding them of the nuisance
of the dust that at times gets
ipiile disagreeable to the spec
tators and players alike. The
well has been placed at the north
side of the grounds near the gate
ami is some eighteen feet deep,
with a plentiful supply of water
for all purposes. It is hoped that
in the future it will be possible
to erect a small club house there
where the players can dress and
secure a bath afler the practices
and games, and this feature
would be highly appreciated by
every member of the team, who
are at present compelled to come
up town or go to their homes be
fore being able to change clothes.
LINCOLN TELEGRAPH AND
TELEPHONE HAS OFFICE
HANDSOMELY DECORATED
Tin interior of the office of the
Lincoln Telegraph & Telephone
Co., on North Sixth sheet, is pre
senting a verv neat appearance in
the past few days having just been
thoroughly cleaned and repainted
in a most artistic manner by
Louie Thomas, the painter. The
walls of the office loom have been
decorated in tan color, while tin
handsome steel ceiling- has been
touched up in light green, which
makes a very happy combination
and adds greatly to the light in I In.
office room and the comfort of the
manager and bookkeepers. Tin
whole otlice has also been cleaned
thoroughly and everything is a
clean as a pin throughout the
building. Mr. Thomas also dei
orated the front of the building in
a very handsome manner. These
improv emeu I s have added greatly
to the appearance of the building,
both on the exterior and on I he
interior, and makes a very pleas
ant ollice for the employes of tin
telephone company.

Omaha, where she has been foi
the past few weeks recovering
from the effects of an operation
which she underwent at the Wise
Memorial hospital. She is fee
ing greatly improved, though still
very weak, and i! is I Inuighl -flint

most beneficial to her. Miss
Limpsky. a trained nurse, accom
panied her home to look after her
care.

surgical operation in Omaha to
cure him of an affliction, from
which he has been suffering for
the past, few years. The opera
lion was ipiite successful and it is
thought that Ihe patient will re

brightest of hopes as lo the suc

THE FALLS CITY
GOOD ROADS
MEETING
Most Enthusiastic Gathering and
Thorough Organization Eff oct
et for Good Roads.
One of the most enthusiastic,
as well as largely attended good
roads meetings that has been held
in the state of Nebraska was held
yesterday at Talis City, where an
organization was perfected that
will lake up the task of securing
improvement of the route be
tween Omaha and Kansas City,
and on which roule IMattsmouth
will be one of the principal cities.
There was a great number of
automobile loads of the boosters
in attendance at the meeting from
northeastern Kansas, Sarpy, Cass,
Otoe, Nemaha and Richardson
counties, in Nebraska, and all of
the persons in attendance felt
that the result of the gathering
will certainly be felt in improved
conditions along the great, high
way between the two principal
cities of Ihe middle west.
(L J. Hinshaw of Kansas City,
secretary of the Missouri Iood
Itoads association, was present at
the meeting anil outlined the
object of the formation of the
Highway association to make Ihe
Kansas City-Omaha Scenic Roule
a permanent thing. He told of
the placing- of markers along the
old 'Santa Fe trail" from Kansas
City to Los Angeles, of markers
that served as a guide to drivers
on their journey over this route
The markers were of enamel iron
mounted on concrete posts an.
the cost of installing them hai
been !?5.000, but the advantap
secured for the tourists had more
than repaid the cost of placing
them in position.
The meeting decided in forming
Iheir organization to select a di
rect orv in each counlv through
which the roule passed, who wil
look after the care of the roai
and see that every means pos
sible is taken to keep it in gooi
shape for travel at all times. A
was pointed out by the speakers
the government was becoming in
terested in the movement to pro
mote the good roads and high
ways and it would be only a ques
tion of a short time until a con
crete road was placed between
omaiia aim Kansas .ny to con
nect with the Lincoln highway.
The movement for the extension
of Ihe concrete highways through
tin country points clearly to th
fact that the government will
sooner or later take up this mat
ter.
The association, after a short
session devoted lo hearing the re
marks of several good roads pro
moters, formed an organization
by the election, of the following
gentlemen as officers;
President C. Ii.
Atchison, Kansas.
Vice President R. A
braska City, Nebraska.
Secretary-Treasurer-
Brenner,
Du IT, Ne.
-Harry A
Sharpe, Alchison, Kansas
Those who were in attendance
at the meeting from this cilv
were: Messrs. John Hauer, C. C
Wescolt. T. II. Pollock, R. '. Pat
terson. M. Ilild, J. II. McMaken,
K. J. Richey, C. W. Haylor, Mr.
Kidder of Omaha. The parly
greatly enjoyed Ihe trip, all hough
in spots the roads were quilt
dusty, hut as a whole the roads
were in very good shape, par
ticularly from Nebraska City lo
Kalis City.

A Good Investment.

MAULEY DEFEATS
THE CEDAR GREEK
TEAM SDNDAY
It Was a Pitchers' Game of the
Very Rarest Type From Be
ginning to End.
Manley defeated Cedar Creek
on the Manley diamond Sunday
by a score of i to 1. The game,
which was a pitchers' bailie of
the rarest type, was given to Man
ley in the first inning on a very
poorly judged halted ball which
landed ten feet foul on the left
field foul line and resulted in Ihe
three scores which won the game
and made an uphill drag for Ihe
visitors.
Conner for Cedar Creek simply
showered himself with glory by
his superb work on the mound
while his very able opponent, Mr
Miller, held the visitors at his
mercy in all but two innings.
The fust man to face Conner
hit a tap to shortstop, who threw
to first base and the ball was
muffed: the next was issue.) a
pass, the only one of the entire
game, and at this stage of the
fray the umpire's judgment of the
foul was the whole game.
The locals were not backward
expressing their opinion of this
decision being a rank one
whether intentional or not it cost
Cedar Creek the game, as after
this inning but three men saw
first base and two singles were all
the hard-hitting league leaders
could get off Lefty Conner's de
livery. There were but thirteen
men saw first base in the whole
game, which was by lap the
keenest pitchers' battle ever pull
ed off on the league circuit this
season.
The same teams meet at Cedar
Creek next Sunday and another
good exhibition may be expected
of these two leaders of Cass
county's pitching staff.
Cedar Creek has been defeated
more games because of unusual
breaks of luck than any team on
the circuit, and their inabilitv to
hit the ball, but now since tin
heaviest work has been done,
every man on the team has made
a resolution lo adjust Iheir bat-
ting eve and gain all the lost
laurels by the close of the season.
They have played in five extra in
ning games and have been defeat
ed bv one run in three others and
the most runs that have been
scored against them this season
was 7, and this in but one game.
They should have an excellent
turnout on their home lot Sunday
wilh the league leaders to do bal-
tle with. The score:
