been the great interest attached
t th gathering that charac
terized the early-day convention
when, partisan feeling was in
tense in Nebraska and the demo

and couldn't know how to repre

democratic countrymen. Some
other man was put in Doe's place
and the whole masse of 2 people
gave three cheers for out and

A committee of lie was then

of deins who were holding up
the brick wall outside for he
purpo-e f pulling a fusion coun

near Ashland, in this county,

battery upon the person of Frank
Johnson, also a resident of that

young men were guilty of the of
fense charged against them and
decided to assess a line of ." and
costs each, amounting lo some
s'KJ. and this sum the young men
paid over to the representatives
of the law and returned to their
homes in the west part of the

BASE BALL
TOURNAMENT IN
PLATTSMOUTH
There Is Considerable Talk of a
Tournament In This City Ere
the Season Closes.
The base ball fans of the city
are beginning to discuss among
themselves the question as to the
holding of a base ball tournament
here this fall at the close of the
playing season, and there is an
almost unanimous feeling that
such a move would more than re
pay the promoters. Whether the
teams entering the tournament
were confined to the county or in
cluded those from outside of Cass
county would matter liltle, as
good fast teams could be secured
to lake part in the different
games.
The teams in Ihe different
towns of Ihe county who carried
out the suggestion made in the
Journal in the winter of organiz
ing a Cass county league, hax
ninde a glittering; success of tin
venture and all Ihe teams, xvilh
one or two exceptions, have been
playing a fast article of ball thai
has drawn great crowds in the
ditlereut lowns, and by their ap
pearing here al the tournament
contesting- for a suitable prize, a:
well as the honor of winning of
lire event, thev would be sure to
bring with them an enthusiasiii
bunch of boosters toM'heer them
on to victory and to boost the ef
forts of their friends. Mauley and
Avoca, the two leaders of the
league, would make excellent
drawing cards, and the remaining
learns in the league could put up
some very entertaining contests
l lie Keii six could participate in
the event with the visitors, and
with Ihe two fast teams of Ihe
league leaders would be sure to
give ihe fans more than Iheir
money's worth. The team at
Springfield, as well as Louisville,
could also be secured lo lake part
in Ihe tournament and add to jls
inlerest.
The Hed Sox bail park here is
Well eipiipped for the holding of
a tournament and a large crowd
could be handled there with east
ami everyone who attended the
tournament be able lo enjoy to the
utmost Ihe games. The matter is
one thai will well be worth trying
and tin management of the team
here should get busy and arraugt
for Ihe holding of Ihe tourna
ment. EMIL J. MEISINGER
GETS SUIT OF CLOTHES
FOR FINEST WHEAT
The firm of C. I-:. Wescolt's
Son have on exhibition at, their
store a specimen of wheat of Ihe
crop uf 1 1 i that is certainly one
of the finest I hal has ever been
seen in Ihe cily. and it was
gathered from the farm ofKmilJ.
Mei-inger. near Cedar Creek,
where this progressive young
farmer is engaged in tilling the
soil, and his able care of the crops
is shown in Ihe results achieved
in Ihe rid urns from Ihe wheat.
This wheat turned out some
Ihirly-live bushels to Ihe acre and
the grains of the wheat are large
and xvell filled. Some lime ago
Ihe linn of Wescolt's Sons offer
ed a prize for Ihe best specimen
of wheat brought lit their slore,
and Mr. Meisinger has succeeded
in capturing Ihe prize and vvill re
ceive free a line suit of clothes as
the prize, which will come in very
handy and prove a well earned re
ward, in addition lo the excellent
wheat crop.
