PARMELE TALKS TO YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE GLASS, GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF TRIP From Saturday's Dally. Last evening the members of the Young Men's Bible class of the Meth odist church were given a rare treat in the delightfully informal talk given them by Charles C. Parmele on his recent trip to the orient. Mr. Parmele recounted many interesting incidents of the voyage across the Pacific ocean and the Hawaiian Islands, where a short stop was made on the journey across the great body of water. He also took up a few minutes with a very interesting description of the cities in China and Japan, which had been visited by his party there, and of the habits and customs of the resi dents of the orient. The talk opened the eyes of the young men to the large trade possibilities in the Pacific coast trade with the orient and the indus tries of these countries. Mr. Parmele ilso described the feeling that existed between the different countries of the orient toward each other and also of the feeling entertained toward the United States of America, which has n recent years become one of the ending powers interested in the ori ental policies, owing to the fact of our possession of the Philippine is- ands. There was a large crowd pres ent at the meeting, and they felt very grateful to Mr. Parmele for his ad- lress on a subject that is proving of more interest to the residents of the United States each year. YOUNG MEN FROM MUR DOCH FINED FOR INJURING SOME TELEPHONE WIRE From Tuesday's Irally, This morning Henry Dehning and Leo Poelter, two young men from near Murdock, came in from their home to answer to a complaint charg- ng them with having injured wire elonging to the Western Union Tel egraph company by shooting and throwing at the glass insulators used to carry the wiies on the poles. The boys, both of whom are nice, clean young men, were out a few days ago irmed with a 22-rifie and thought- essly shot at the insulators as well ts threw a few rocks at them, not ealizing that they were committing any offence. They entered a plea of guilty and were fined $10 each, the minimum, in cases of this kind. The case was heard by Judge Beeson in county court. The county judge also had before him this morning Johnnie Price, a outh from Louisville, who was harged by his parents with being ncorrigable and such that they could not manage him, and accordingly the ourt was asked to take sbme action n the matter. The judge, after hear ng the statements presented, decided that it would be the best for the boy that he be sent to Kearney for school- ng in the state industrial school in that city. The little lad was much grieved at being taken from home, but his parents are of the opinion that they cannot do anything with him. Error in the Figures. From Saturday's Dally. In the report of the city schools, as appeared in the Evening Journal of yesterday, the per cent of attend ance in the room of Miss Margaret Porter was given as C9, when it should have been 9G.

Mrs. Henton was first taken seriously, ill on last Fri day and from then on sank into a semi-conscious condition from which she peacefully passed away to her final reward as the new day was com ing into being this morning at 7 o'clock.

HE SPORTSMEN IRE RUST GETTING III THEIR WORK Oil H0NTIN6 MD FISHING Prom Tuesday's Dany. Fishing and hunting are still in ulged in, owing to warm weather. A big flight of ducks is expected when the first cold swoops down from the north. Ducks and gefcse and other migratory fowl can be legally killed p to December 1G under the United States regulations. The open season for trout closed October 1. The open season for bass not less than eight nches in length ends November 15, and the open season for other fish protected by the state law ends Na- ember 15. An effort may be made when the next legislature meets to extend the open season for pike. These fish are now numerous in the Platte and the Missouri rivers and on account of the fact that they can be caught late in the fall it is urged that the season should be extended. W .J. O'Brien, superintendent of the state fisheries, is of the opinion that it will ot do harm to extend the season for pike. The pike do not spawn late in the fall and during the spawning season they run to the head of the tream in which they are found. It is believed that they go up the Platte nto Wyoming to lay their eggs. Will Begin Thursday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week the ladies of the Presby terian church will hold their Rum mage Sale. There will be waists, skirts, coats and summer clothing for the ladies, boys and men's shoes, coats and underwear.

Pratt, one of the aged ladies making her home at the Ma sonic Home in this city, passed away Tuesday evening at that institution after passing some 9( years of life.

MYERS' TEXT AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH From Tuesday's Dally- Rev. L. W. Meyers last evening at the Christian church had the above for his subject, and drew a graphis picture of this lesson taught by the Master when he was approached by this young man and asked what he should do to inherit eternal life. The commandments were asked to be kept, which the, young man said he had done from his youth. The Master looked at his and, reading him as one would a book, said: "One thing thou lackest," when the young man asked what thatmight be. Christ told hm, as he saw that he whs proud of the fact of his position as to the matter of wealth, and that he had lived for himself alone: "Sell what thou hast, give to the poor and come and follow me." This made the young man very sorrowful, as he had great worldly possessions, and had, while taciiiy observing the commandments, his god had been money. He had not known of the suffering of the poor, and having cast them out of his mind and sight, did not realize their sufferings. As it was, he was too much attached to his money god and turned and went away sorrowing. With many an apt narrative did the Rev. Meyers illustrate his theme, and held the audience in wrapt attention during the discourse. Interest in the meetings grows with every day, and the work which the Rev. Meyers and Rev. Hollowell are doing, will count for a better Platts mouth. The services this evening at 7:30, with the best of music and singing, and for home by 9 o'clock. Andrew Stohlman, wife and little son of Louisville came down this morning to spend a few hours looking after some mat ters of business in the county seat. This is the first time in two years that Mr. Stohlman has been here, and he notes the many changes that have occurred since that time. Mrs. Thomas Kempster of Kansas City, Mo., arrived in the city this morning for -a short visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan.

The bride has been in the west for the past two years vis- ting at the home of her aunt, Miss Margaret Hallahan, in this city, and was here that the young people first met and their friendship formed here has ripened into wedded bliss. Miss Hallahan returned home several months ago, and a few weeks thence the groom departed for the east to claim his bride. The full particulars of the ceremony has not as yet been received, but the friends of the con tracting parties will extend to them their heartiest best wdshes for a long and happy married life. Mr. Guth mann was born and reared in Platts mouth, and is the eldest son of Mrs. F. R. Guthmann, ahd for the past few years has been located in Idaho, where he has extensive business interests.

STATE BOARD OF CONTROL VISIT PLATTSMOUTH IN RE FERENCE TO REFORMATORY This morning Hon. Henry Gerdes of Falls City and Judge Howard Ken nedy of Omaha, members of the state board" of control, visited this city to look over the situation here in regard to the application of this city for the location of the proposed new state re formatory which the last legislature recommended and for which the sum of $150,000 was appropriated. The members of the board were driven in a car to the proposed location, north of the city, where a tract of the size desired by the state can be secured and at a price very reasonable. This location has the advantage that it fills every requirement asked for by the state, and on it there can be sev eral different industries carried on, as the land has excellent clay banks for pottery or brick yards, as well as splendid farming and fruit raising land. Plenty of stone and sand can be secured easily for the use of the institution, and it is hard to believe that a better location could possibly be found anywhere in the state than right here in Plattsmouth. The mem bers of the board have visited the dif ferent places throughout the state which have applied for the location of the reformatory, and Plattsmouth is one of the last points to be touched upon by the board in their travels. Mr. Gerdes and Judge Kennedy re turned this afternoon to Omaha. They did not express any opinion of the land or the location, as it is necessary for the board to weigh carefully the different points of each town with their colleague on the board of con trol, Ex-Governor Silas A. Holcomb of Broken Bow. If the board can see their way clear to recommend the choice of the Plattsmouth location, there is no doubt that they will se cure a site that will prove all that has been claimed for it. Just received a car of Early Ohio Potatoes, 70c a bushel. A. G. Bach & Co. FORMER PLATTS MOUTH U LADY IS MARRIED Miss Lillian Thompson United in Mar riage With Mr. William I'. Kay of Des Moines, Iowa. Last evening, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Thompson, at 1702 North Twenty- fourth street, South Omaha, occurred the marriage of Mr. William F. Kay of Des Moines, la., and Miss Lillian Thompson. The happy event was ne attended by a large number of the friends of the bride from this city. where the Thompson family were res idents for a great many years and where the bride was reared to woman hood and was educated in the schools of this city. Miss Thompson is one of the most charming young ladies who has resided in Plattsmouth, and her friends are without number, as a ady of more genial and sunny dispo sition could not be found anywhere. and her happiness will be the occasion of much pleasure to her friends here n this city. The Thompson home was a scene of the greatest beauty for the wed ding, as palms and drapings of smi lax and ferns were used extensively in the decorations throughout the rooms of the house. A large arch of palms, ferns and lillies of the valley had been placed in the parlors of the home and it was beneath this beauti ful floral decoration that the happy young people took their station to have the words that made them one pronounced by Rev. W. L. Austin, pastor of the First Methodist church of Geneva, Neb., former pastor of the church here, where the bride was for years a most faithful member. Pre ceding the ceremony, Miss Seivers of Marquette, Neb., sang very sweetly, "Because," and as the wedding march played by Mrs. Ernest J. Tuey of this city sounded through the rooms the bridal party entered the parlors. The bride was preceded by her little sis ter, Clara May Thompson, who bore the wedding ring in a large American Beauty rose, and entered on the arm of her brother, William Macey, of Plattsmouth. The bride was attended by Miss Hermie Spies of this city as maid of honor. The costume of the bride was very elaborate, being of white crepe meteor trimmed with pearls, and the bouquet was of bride roses. Miss Thompson wore the flow ing bridal veil and made a lovely pic ture as she stood before the floral al tar. MioS Spies was handsomely gowned in a rainbow costume of crepe de chine and chiffon and carried a bouquet of Mrs. Ward roses. The groom and his best man, Roy Thomp son, brother of the bride, joined the wedding party at the altar, and the beautiful and impressive ring service was used to bind these lovinjr hearts as one. The punch bowl in the dining room was the scene of the beauty, as the decorations here were in pink and white. Mrs. Jennings Seivers of Plattsmouth served. Following the wedding, a short reception was h"id for the young people, and a most tempting luncheon served to the com pany present. Mr. a'd Mrs. Kay de parted on the midnight train for Pes Moines, la., where the groom is ei aged in business and where he has a handsome bungalow in waiting for his bride. The gift of the groom to his bride was a large electric automobile. The best wishes of the newlyweds in this city will follow them in their new home, and that they may enjoy long life and prosperity is the uni versal wish. " Ordered to Get Out of Town. Chief of Police Rainey this morning rounded up a trio of "hoboes who were engaged in "panhandling" on the street, and ordered them to hit the trail out of the city at once or take the consequences of being sent to jail to spend several days. The three men lost no time in making their getaway and promised to keep clear of Plattsmouth in the future. See The Million Dollar Mystery Tuesday.
