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:

From Saturday's 'Daily.
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

Three Piattsmouth young men had
a rather exciting experience at Ne
braska City on Saturday afternoon
while en route home after a visit in
the Otce counv metropolis with
friends, and in which one of the party
was injured in rather a painful man
ner, when the car they were driving
turned over and spilled two of them j
over the landscape, while the third
member of the party jumped before
the car dumped and therefore escaped
injury.

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.
