Councilman I.u: l.in:ky, :n ad''re : -ing the council, -pointed out the need of the city having a rock pile for the u. e of the t ramps 'and vagrants who might drift into the city, and while they might not pulverize much rock it would certainly keep them busy and out of trouble and. would discourage the vi.;it:i of these tramps to this city. This was referred to the police com mittee, who will lcol: over the situa tion and endci'vo:- to secure a suitable tock pile .ii which the visitors can exercise their muscle. Mayor I-ichey suited that he had instructed the chief of police to have the tranms or these sent to jail mi small sa-ntences to be used in n. e jii the ruhhi.dr and tti'-h from the dump ing ground over to the river, and till ; would keep them hu-y for a while. Councilman llajeck suggested that the street commissioner he placed in chapge of the work of removing the dirt from the Hig't School Hill curb t-v.d gutter district, as he had heeu very MKce.ssful in .saving money for the city iu other jobs of this kind. Councilman l'cstor was also .strongly in favor of the enmmisj.ior.er having charge of the? work, as there wi re a threat many placet, where the dirt could be used with the greatest good nd the commir.si.mc; was the bust ;uitlified to look after this. Ct ue.cilmrin Patterson called the r.t t nt ion of the council to the habit of parties of throwii g brush and rub bish into the gutter in the new- cui'u and gutter district.. and this caused the water to block and wash away a great deal of dirt from the edtro of Uio gutter. This was called to the atten tion of the streets, alleys and bridges committee and they will look after the matter. Councilman Patterson was in favor of the city beautifying their giounds around the city hail and placing them in shape where they would he a credit to ihc other handsr-rr.e homs r.esr the city hall. Councilman Hands arose about this time and succeeded in getting through what he has been working for for a long time that of securing a fire house and c-ouipmer.t in the south part of town. lie made the motion that in making the levy for the en.-; a ing year a levy ef 1 mill be made for the purK;e of putting in the im provementH, and trus will res.uit in fccuring the sura of 5000 for the needed f;re equipment. The 'jue.-ition of the paving of the Hut ling ton .subway and the roadwa for seven.l feet was then brought up and the bids opened arid read. The Concrete Construction company pre sented a bid for $:2a0 for the work, with a guaamtte to have it completed in -even working days, while the firm of Peters f: P.ichardj Put in their bid for S1C7 for the work and the stipulated time to be seven daya in which to complete the work. After the committee in the matter hail ex .mined the bids they recommended that the lowest bidder be given the contract and the award was accord ingly made to the fiim of Peters and Richards.

The Klk.-. rnin: treks at Louisville last evening repeated the ti iumph tht.t the entertainment produced when shown here. and a i;:rge and en thu.dastic audience was present to en joy the treat. The tiip to Louinvi'.l? -.v.tr rna.ie in antomohiics and :11 aft rnoon the ruernber.s of the order and of the company were busy in going out to our neighboring city and get ting all ready for the hig show. Th trir ii-i.l opening was mot de t i -rV.tr-: I and the various sweet-voiced -ingt rs fin niched the different num i err. in a rnnrmcr that won a great ileal of approval from it 1 1 who were present to witness it. The opening ;-ait wa: presided over by James K. I'llioek, and his clever introduction of the different songsters and end men was exceptie iially clever and in the comedy !' tins how was a large factor with his beautiful recitation. The ends weie handled by Messrs. ('. Smith, Weidman, Fields and San din and their various musical num bers, as well as clover jokes, were an th enjoyed. In the olio the chief feature was the excellent work of L. i. Hiatt, in monologue in which he made a ge i at big hit and war heartily encored for his elfotts. Mr. Ilankin :;ou, with his slack wire and uni cycie act, was given a heal ty ovation, and with his cleverness n ided a great deal to the r.uccess of the production. The net of I'osencians and Wind ham, the jitney boys, was cut some what hort when their home-made automobile was blown to pieces by nn infernal machine, and if all reports aie tiue it was certainly some torpedo and the maker of the machine should he secured by one of the warring I.'urop an nations. The how was as a while very pleasing to the people of Louisville and the members of the company feel d; -lighted wiih the man ner in which the people of that city treated them while they were there and fov the generous patronage af forded the minstrel show.

From V.VfJn ' y's Tlngjr. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pres byterian church were entertained in a rr.o't delightful manner at the manse yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Mc Clu.:ky and Miss Lucy Arnold being the hostesses on thi3 occasion. This b-ing their regular meeting, the ladies held their usual business ses sion, -hich was a most interesting one. The curtains for ihe Sunday Kchool rooms were reported finished and will be hung by the ladies at some convenient time. A number Ct the ladies responded with their dollars, which was. most pleasing to all. After the business session the ladies whileel away the remaining moments in social conversation, stitching on dainty fancy work and other amusements, which made the occasion a most en joyable one. Iurin5g the course of the afternoon's entertainment dainty re freshments were served by the hos tesses, which were likewise most thoroughly enjoyed by the large num ber in attendance. At the close of the beautiful spring day the ladies dis persed, greatly indebted to the hos tesses for their most kind hospitality and splendid afternoon's entertain ment afforded them. THE tfOODNUN CIRCLE rrom Wednesday's Dally I-ust evening the ladies of the Woodman Circle drill team entertain ed at a most pleasant social dance at the A. O. U. W. hall, and the oc casion was one filled with the rarest of pleasure to the jolly ciowd of young people present. The ladies had arranged to give their visitors a most pleasant time, and in this were most successful and there was a large crowd present to take part in the dance and to enjoy the music furnish ed by Roy Denson at the piano and Clarence Uurbridge as trap drummer, and these two gentlemen certainly did them, elves credit in the delightful manner in which they conducted the music. During the evening delicious cfre-.hments of ice cream and cake were served by the ladies in the main hall and the table, with its handsome decorations of flowers anel surround ed by the jolly young people, made a very charming scene. The drill team as a result of their efforts, secured a neat sum. r THE DATE OF HEARING CHANGED BY COMMISSION- ECS ON REMONSTRANCE The county commissioners at their meeting yesterday, in taking up the application of Andres Thomsen of Cedar Creek fur a saloon license, reached an agreement with all parties .'.Inch allowed the setting of the date of hearing for Wednesday, May ll'th, instead of June 1st, as was announced yesterday, which will be more fitir to Mr. Thomsen, as it will allow him a fairer proposition on the time, as his license will expire Sunday, and the hearing being Wednesday, will not keep him in the dark as to the action of the board, and he can then make his arrangements whether the license is granted or turned down. Mr. Schneider, representing, the remons- trators, agreed to the change of week and w ill be on' hand to represent his side of the question, together with his attorney. A (itncral Advice.

For some time there has been con sidered by the base ball association of this city the proposition of attempting to place the Red Sox team of this city in one of the amateur leagues of Oma ha at the first opportunity, as it was believed that this move would give better opportunity for securing good games and at the same time give the boys on the team a goal to work for. The nearness of Plattsmouth to Oma ha and the excellent railroad facilities afforded would allow of the teams from the metropolis reaching here and ic-turning home with ease. There is a scarcity of base ball parks in Oma ha at the present time and it is neces sary to hold double-headers almost every Sunday and sometimes four games a day have to be placed in the same park in order to handle the dif efrent teams, and with Plattsmouth joined in they could easily use the park here when needed and the team here will be able to travel in the fast company, as it showed up in fine shape last season with this class of teams. I'lair is also anxious to get into the fold of one of the leagues in Omaha :.nd with them and Plattsmouth in it would give two more splendid parks that could be used to the greatest ad vantage by the Greater Omaha as sociation of amateur base ball clubs. Manager Johnson of the Red Sox has been in touch with the officials of the Greater Omaha league, which in cludes such teams as the Luxus, Armours, Alimatos, Bourgoise and other organizations of equal strength, and to have them come here could not fail but attract a great deal of in terest among the fans, as they would be assured of a good game all the time. The team as a whole feels that the securing of a franchise in this league would serve as an inspiration to the boys, as well as furnishing the fans a better article of base ball than they have had heretofore. Sunday the Red Sox will play the DeVoll Victors of Council Bluffs, and a mighty interesting contest may be looked for. High Schtiiol Girls Very Athletic. The girls of the Plattsmouth High school are rapidly becoming more athletic in their nature. For the past two years they have been playing basket ball during the winter months, end not content with remaining idle during "the merry month of May," have organized base ball teams. The first demonstration of the ability of the young ladies in this line was given last evening at the Red Sox park. The work of some of the young ladies in the batting line would make Ty Cobb look like a "four-flusher," and a very heavy score was made by the feminine base ballists. With the gen eral tendency of women to invade the provinces . heretofore dominated by man, the efforts of our girls in the field of athletics should be highly commended.

NEW STEEL FILING GASES IN SEVERAL COUNTY OFFIGES One much needed improvement has been made in the equipment of the offices in the court house, and that is the placing of new steel filing cases in the vaults at the county clerk, treasurer and district clerk's offices, which will be used to care for the keeping of the records of the county. For a long time these additional means of perserving the records and documents of these offices have been badly needed, as those on hand were far too few to properly care for the large number ef documents that have accumulated during the years gone by. With the new cases on hand the officials will be able to have the rec ords and valuable papers in a place where they will be safe and can be secured when desired. These filing cases have been especially needed in the office of the county clerk, where for the past two years they have been handicapped by the tremendous number of documents and the very poor facilities for caring for them and keeping them in proper shape.
