TO PLATTSMOUTH
From Friday's Dally.
This morning F. C. Jlill depart
ed for Fremont, Nebraska, where
he pm's to attend the state con
ference oT the Methodist church
of Nebraska and will present to
that body the request of the mem
bers of the congregation of the
First. Methodist church here for
the return of the pastor of the
church. Rev. F. M. Druliner. for
another year. The sentiment here
among the members of Hie church
lias been unanimous for Rev.
Iiuliiier"s return, and his friends
outside of that faith are equally
anxious that he be permitted to
again perform his labors here
where he has produced such a
pleasing effect with his work. Rev.
iM'iiliner is a man of more than
ordinary ability and his ability
and eloquence has won him a
stale wide reputation among the
Methodists that will create quite
a keen competition for his ser
vices. With the practically unan
imous endorsement of the city,
however it ought to be an easy
matter for the conference to be
able to send him back for another
vear.

was the cause of much speculation

baby alligators, which had been
sent to Mr. McDaniel by Fred
St nil, w ho resides in southern

BASE BALL TOUR
NAMENT OPEN
ED YESTERDAY
Manley Defeats Cedar Creek
Louisville, and Platlsmouth
Does the Same to Avoca.
From Friday's Daily.
The base ball tournament here
opened yesterday allernoon with
the weather man furnishing the
linest braiid of temperature for
the players of the great national
game, and the attendance was
very fair for the opening of the
occasion. 1 lie t.edar (.reek-Lollls-ville
allies ami the Maubv slug
gers were trie openers of the
eent and put up a good exhibition
of ball and while the Manley team
won bv a score of -J to 1, it was a
red hot linish that thrilled the
fans when the allies fell upon
Miller, the Manley tosser for four
hits with two men retired. The
Manley team opened hostilities
when Rockwell hit to the lef field
safely and was able to steal his
way to third irom where he
cored on a passed ball by Wolf.
t.ouiiors did the pilching lor
Cedar Creek and was in good form
and mowed down ten of the heavy
hilling Manleyites, and held them
to four hits. The Manlev learn ad-
ed their second score in the third
inning when Keckler hit for two
bags to left field, and was ad-
vanceii on me nil oi nockwen io
eft and on 1'ersall's hi! to
short he advanced to third from
whence he scored on tin passed
all of Wolf. Rockwell was caught
it home plale on attempting t
idd another run and Persall was
aught at second. Prefka ended
the suspense with a 11 v out to
ecoud base.
The cause of the allies seemed
almost hopeless in the ninth
inning- when Schneider was sent
to bat for Jeff Salsberg in hopes
f touching up Miller and while he
was retireii on a hit in nr.-i nase
was able to touch the ball and
peiied the way for the ascension
that followed. Synek. retired on a
Irive to shortstop being thrown
ut at bag No. 1. and then the
surprise of the oar came when
Ralph Larson, the shortstop of the
allies swatted one on the nose
that, traveled out into the left
garden for a sa fety. ( isseiikop w ho
followed, hit a safe one over se
cond base that advanced Larson
and lefL the runner safe on first.
Inghram then clouted the ball to
center field for a nice safe one on
which Larson rgistered at the
plat" for the first Cedar Creek run
but the batter following failed at
the critical moment, and struck
out retiring the side and leaving
the Manley team the victors.
Miller was very lucky in his pitch
ing as he did not I brow near the
game that Connors did. as he was
touched up for seven hits and
struck out but live men, but the
hits were well scattered and were
not productive of runs for the
Cedar Creek boys.
The second -ame of the double
header found Platlsmouth hooked
up against the strong Avoca team
and while the contest was close it
was very loosely played on both
sides, with the error column well
filled with the misplays and bad
judgment and from this the Red
Sox appeared to sutler more than
the visitors, as the errors made
were rank and came near costing
4the game. Vernon who did the
throwing for the Red Sox pitched
a very good game and several
times was able to pull out of a
tight hole with the bases filled and
Ihe heavy hitting Avocaites onto
the slugging game. Came opened
with the visitors going right after
the ame and they look very kindly
to Ihe slants of Vernon and with
one out succeeded in filling the
bases, but this was as far as they
got, as there was nothing doing,
Vernon being able to retire the
men. The Red Sox took an equal
liking to the brand of ball dished

From Friday's rally.
John lver-on and Fred Wynn of
this city are mourning the loss of
Iheir alualle motor boat which
they keep on the .Missouri riwr
just above the Iturliuutou bridge.
The loss of I tie boat was hi st dis

and going to the river found that
the said boat had disappeared. A;i
inquiry was made at mice of the
parties near the ferry and it was
I hen ascertained that two ne-n

river Wednesday afternoon in the
boat of Messers Wynn and Ivr
so. but no particular at
leilion had been paid to the in-
ident as il was considered that
liny were eilher the owners or
-onieone liny had given permis
sion to use the boat to. The men
(or. tinned on sou'hiv. ilh the boat
and finally disappeared"' out of
sight down the rie: As soon as
Ihe loss of the boat was discover
ed by the owners a message was
sent to the authorities of the dif
ferent towns along the rier o be
mi the outlook for trie boat and
the two men. The boat was
eighteen feet in length, and was
painted a sand color and was
equipped with a water motor for
power. It was built rather low in
the water, and would nd attract
particular attention unless some
one was on the outlook for it. The
b-al was alued at s'17r and was
highly prized by (he owners for
n in their hunting trips up the
Platte river. There was a search
in r; parly organized this morning
here to start in pursuit of Ihe

the above mentioned cases of in
sanity. Dropped Her Purse.
Mrs. Wayne Iiickson of Platls
mouth had the misfortune to drop
her purs' when she arose to gel
off the train here last Friday, and
did nol discover her loss until Ihe
fraiii had gone. The purse con
tained thirty dollars cash and a
number of receipts, and although
an effort was made by telegraph it
could not be located. It is pro
bable that somebody in the car
saw Ihe purse when Mrs. Dick
son dropped it, and quickly put it
out of sight. She offers a liberal
reward for return of the property
but with no results. Union
