Entertains Foreign Missionary Society From Friday's Daily. 'Ihe Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the M. E. church held a very pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs( Henry Spangler, on Rock street yesterday afternoon. One of the in teresting features of the r.fternoon's program was the report of the dole- pate, Mrs. E. C'lliil. of the district convention, which was held at Pawnee City on April 22 and 23, which was very much appreciated and greatly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to he present and hear it. Mrs. Ii. B Hayes contributed a delightful vocal selection, after which the ladies spent the remainder of the afternoon in their study of "The Children in the Foreign Lands." There was about thirty ladies in attendance, who re port a most profitable afteronon. A rrom Friday's Daily. The reputation of the Tlatte river as a dangerous stream has often been recounted in newspapers and maga zines throughout the country, but the river, as well as the reads leading to it, have just received a new thriller in a story published in a paper at I'res cott, Arizona, and which was sent to this city by Mrs. Y. M. Morrow to her brother, D. M. Graves. If such a place ever existed it was before the memory of the older residents here, some of whom have been here for half a century, and the story sounds great ly like it, was woven out of pure imagination. We print the story as it appears in order that our readers can see the impression that the usual ly placid Piatta river has abroad. While there is a great deal of quick sand in both the Platte and Misouri rivers, there has been very few per sons who have been caught in them, and this was while swimming in the st i earns: "You have all read about quicksand. .Most of our boys and girls have seen j Omaha tsar.:.

The base bail team representing the Soutl Omaha High school yester day came down and engaged the High school boys of this city in a rather ene-sided conflict at the ball park east of the city, and wlsch re sulted in a victory for ths visitors by a score of 10 to 0. Ihe locals were haniiicapped in their efforts by the fact that tl.oy had not been in practice and were at the mercy of the boys from Fackingtown who outclassed them at every point in the game and at no time were the home beys able to come near the point of winning. The visiters started out viciously by landing cn the slants of Winscott, who was on the hi'.l for the locals, and headed, by McDride, the lever catcher of the Packers, the first to come to the bat in the opening spasm, they were able to annex two runs, while the locals in their halt were unable to do business with Huge, who was acting in the pitcher's box for the South Omaha aggregation. ihe visitors added tour mere to tneir list in the second spasm, which seem ed to put the fixins' to the hopes of the boys from home, who when they were able to pull eff a nice long hit would rind scms of the packing house talent on the job to dash their hopes, as long hits by Frank Marshall anil Campbell were lost in the centerfield, where Corr for the Packers grabbed all chances rr.d got away with them with cr.se.

The riattsmouth orchestra, under the leadership of Tom Svoboda, furnished the music for the occasion. 3 PLATTSHTH BOYS HAKE EXCIT ING EXPERIENCE Returning From Nebraska City Satur day Evening Automobile Turns Turtle With Serious Consequences. i . f ViS.

The celebra tion of the natal day of this splendid lady occurs today, and the guest of honor will receive all day in honor of the event and be given the heartiest well wishes of her many friends.

V. Friesel, residing on the A. D. Boedeker farm, one-half mile southeast of Weeping Water and six and one-half miles southwest of Nehawka, accompanied by Miss Blanche Philpot, motored to Weeping Wat er in the Philpot car Friday, where they took the final examination of the eighth grade. Miss Friesel is only 13 years old and is a very bright and industrious young lady. She has been attending school in District No. 80, near Nehawka, and has had Mr. Massie as her instructor. Her work has been most satisfactory and excel lent and during the pasjt year she has stood at the head of her class. Her parents and instructor are very anxious that she come to this city Myron Wiles had a very close call last evening from a most serious ac cident while he was driving in from his home to attend the concert at the Parmele. Mr. Wiles was driving a very spirited team of horses and came up Seventh street from Chicago ave nue, not knowing the work being done there in the curb and gutter district. As he drove along in the darkness his team suddenly shied at a large pile of sand near the edge of the roadway, and this caused the buggy to slide into one of the excavations along the side of the street where the gutter is to be laid, and the buggy was completely j turned over on its side, and it is a i wonder that the occupants of the buggy were not seriously injured, as the horses, if they had not been under perfect control, would have complete ly demolished the buggy. If they had started to run there is no telling what serious results might have occurred, but as it was fortunately the coolnes of Mr. Wiles saved the loss of the buggy and perhaps serious injury to himself and companion. This street is all ready for the curbing and gut tering work and should be blocked up so that unwary travelers will not drive in there and perhaps be serious ly injured.
