From Tuesday's Ially.
The observance of Memorial day in
this city was perhaps more extensive
this year than ever before in recent
years, and tnore of the residents as
! it-ted in seeing that the spirit t.f tne
clay was carried out, not only in
honoring' the army of the silent sol
diery that is sleeping their last long
rest, but in seeing that the lei-sons of
patriotism and love of flap and coun
try ate made living factors in our
lives and that these noble nun gone
before sliall not have died in vain.
On Sunday morning the members
of McConuhie Post No. -IT,. Grand
Army of the Republic, assembled at
their rooms in the court house and
in a body, topether with the Woman".--Relief
Corps, roeeeded to the Fir.-t
Methodistc hurch, where the Memorial
sermon was preached by the pastor.
Rev. F. M. Druliner, who, in his re
marks, pave one of the most eloquent
and pleasing sermons along this line
that has ever been heard in this city.
He paid a plowinp tribute to the
worth of the men who had fought that
our nation might live, and of the
duty and faithfulness which had
puided thm in the perform: nee of
their duty in the great conflict. He
al-o paid a plowinp tribute to the
patience and wisdom of Piesident
Wilson in these troublesome times
and his efforts toward peace, not only
here, but in the warrinp natio is. The
choir of the church pave a number of
selections in keeping with the spirit
of the day.
Yesterday the day dawned most
auspiciously for those who desired to
remember with floral tribute those
sleeping in Oak Hill cemetery, and
lrom early morninp until noon a con
stant stream of men. women and chil
dren could he found vending their
way toward Oak Hill cemetery laden
with the beautiful flowers of spring
time and placinp them with reverent
hands upon the last restinp place of
tho.-e they had parted with for all this
life. The graves of the soldier dead
were marked by garlands of flowers
placed there by the school children,
who have for the past two yer-.rs car
ried on this work, as the rapidly thin
ning ranks of the old soldiers will not
permit of their doing the work.
The exercises, full of the spirit of
patirotisni. were held in the afternoon
at 2:.10 at the Parrnele theater, and
the building was filled by an audience
numbering close to Soo persons, who
joined to the fullest extent in the
spirit of the occasion. On the stage
200 of the bright young folks of the
city schools had been seated, ranging
from the little tots in the first grades
to the more advanced who hid ben
trained by Mrs. Mae Morgan for their
part in the exercises, and the little
folks certainly did themselves proud,
as they sang the war songs of the
boys in blue that had ben iva'd so
often on the hattlefic'ds of t't j nation.
Hon. R. R. Windham presided over
the meeting, at the request of the
commander of the C. A. R. post, and
in his opening gave a few remarks as
to the spirit of the occasion and the
love of country and flag that it in
spired by its lessons, and expressed
his regret that more of the young men
of the community were not present to
take part in the exercises and share
the lesson that it brought to young
and old alike. As the chairman con
cluded his opening remarks the chorus
of children swelled into the inspiring
strains of '"Columbia, the Gens of the
Ocean," find its martial swing made
the hearts of all beat a little faster
as it brought to memory the many
times when its strains hid been
echoed by our soldier boys in the
crisis of our existence as a nation.
The invocation was given by Rev. II.
G. McClusky of the First Presby
terian church, and was followed by
the "Salute to the Flag" by twelve of
the little boys of the school standing
and with waving flags paid a tribute
to that banner of the free whose
stripes and stars floats over therr
heads as a guarantee of life and
liberty.
Chairman Windham, before calling
ori Mr. William A. Robertson for the
reading of the Gettysburg address,
lead an order from the department
command er of the state Grand Aimv
asking the observance of F lag day on

members of the Grand Army and th
citizens of the conimunitv, and stated
that he would like to see a flag in
everv school oi me country as an in
spiration to the people of the nation.
The immortal address of Piesident
Lincoln was reau in a most pleasing
manner by Attorney William A. Rob
fitMii!, and its wonderful message of
inspiration fell upon the interested
audience with a force that will fi it
on the minds of all tho--e who were
present.
The orator of the day. Attorney I.
(). Dwyer, pave a most plea.-ing and
interestinp address on the American
republic and the position that it oc
cupied as the preat f I ee lepullir of
and for the people among the nations
of the earth, anil the mission it had
to perfoi m when the great nations of
the old world, who had their founda
tions of militarism were flying at
inch other's throats, and America, the
rreat, had stood alone a preat peace
ful land, where the people were the
sovereigns in their own right. Mr.
Iwyer stated that at the beginning
of our nation's life there had been two
distinct classes developed in the
country, one believing the right of
a state to operate itse'f from the
Union whenever it so desired, while
the other held that the Union wa. one
in its entirety. The development of
the cotton industry in the south had
brought on the demand for cheap la
bor and thus as the slaves in the
north decreased in number they grew
correspondingly in the south and the
demand for increased territory was a
constant source of friction between
the two sections. and the Missouri
compromise and other measures mere
ly held off the irrepressible conflict,
and at the election of Abraham Lin
coln in lSC.o the flames of civil war
IeL-an to flare, breaking out in the
filing on Fort Sumpter in April, lKf.o,
fifty years ago. and then the deluge
of war swept over the country calling
the best of the young manhood to the
fiont to defend their country. The
speaker described the battle of Mis-.-ionary
Ridge and Lookout Mountain,
where the confederates under General
Bragg and the union armies under
Generals Grant, Hooker. Sherman and
Thomas faced each other, and the ter
rible loss that the victory entailed
when the southern armies were hurled
back, opening the way for the march
of Sherman to the sea and shortening
the war. In closing. Mr. Dvvyer paid
a touching tribute to the memory- of
the veterans, livin and dead, who
had been factors in the great war. and
laid on their resting places and me
mory a beautiful sentiment of peace
and love for the bravery and courage
that had saved the republic and fire
served the government of the people
for future generations then yet un
born. The address was a splendid one
and filled with true American senti
ment that was felt in the hearts of
all those present.
At the close the school children and
audience, standing, rendered "Ameri-
ca. wnose notes swene.i aim mieu
the theater as a message of patriotic
pride and love of home and country,
and as the vast audience stood the
blessing and benediction of the Al
mighty was called down upon the
audience bv Rev. II. G. McClusky.

THE RED SOX
PLAY THE ATH
LETICS SUNDAY
And the Second Team Put Up a Fair
Game, but Were Defeated by the
Red So bv a Score of 10 ta 2.
FrATll Tueyila v'i. ' niT-v.
The base ball fans of this, city were
ilcprive.l .sundav afternoon ol seeing
the Kennedy t heseliii American
league leaders of Omaha in action,
but instead were treated to an exhibi
tion of the national game staged by
the Red Sox and the Athletics, the
lean: of young men under the pilotage
of Edi-ar Steinhauer, and as a result
of the encounter the So came out
winners by a score of 10 to 2, and up
to the last inning it looked as though
thev were to have a shutout, but two
hits, coupled with two errors, allow
ed: tlie junior base tiallists to register
t the place.
Vein Ron ir was the -lab arti'-t for
the Athletics and throvved a nice
game Ihioughout and m the opening
stages of the game was given fine
support, but in the third inning the
Sox were aide to get two runners
around the bags, scoring two runs,
and in the fifth were aide to repi.-ter
three more runs, which gave them a
lead of five. A mysterious stranger
named Payne was on the hill for the
Sox during the opening spa-m of the
contest and was later replaced bv
Biggs, to whose slants the boys tool;
very kindly and several long drives
were made to the outer garden by
'larence Mason and Hasson of the
Athletics, but the boys were robbed
of hits by the fast Work of Rill Mason
in the left garden for the Sox.
The playing of the second team was,
in fact, quite a surpri-e to the older
team, as they were kept going pretty
lively in .seeming a victory from the
Athletics, and with a little practice
the boys will be able to give a good
recount of themselves. The work of
Mauer at third and Long i;i the box
were particularly brilliant, while the
hitting of Gra.ssman was one of the
features of the game.
In the ninth inning the juniors were
able to secure their two lonely runs,
when Gra.ssman poked out a two
bugger and was followed by a hit by
Mauer to third, which was too hot to
handle and Crassman scored, and
when Dalton hit safe to center field
Mauer tallied.
'The stick woik of the Sox was ex
cellent during the game and was the
best they have shown this season, but
the usual bunch of rag-chewing was
indulged in, which make so many of
the games uninteresting.
Monday's Game.
Yesterday afternoon the Red Sox
played in their true foim and claim
ed for their victims the Kennedy &
Beselins, the team that is leading the
American league of our metropolis.
The Sox displayed a remarkable re
turn to form, but there was one cop
in the machine that was always a
stumbling block to the visitors, and
that was '"Bob" Greko, who done the
twiring for the Sox. No less than
fifteen men fanned the ozone and but
two little hits were garnered off of
his delivery, and but for Herold's muff
of a third strike would have secured
a shoutouf. Captain Real also dis
played remarkable base running
ability. Five stolen bases are credit
ed to him, and in the fifth inning he
went from first to home on a throw
to second. In this play he made a
clean steal of second, went to third
as the second baseman rolled the ball
to the pitcher, and scored on an over
throw to third. Mason's stickwork
was also a feature of the game, his
double in the first being responsible
for two runs.
The Sox put the game on ice in
their half of the first. Real and Par
riott were hit by Shooks' darting
slants. Real stole third anil scored
when Gather Yoss dropped Norton's
throw to the place of Smith's line
drive. Smith and Parriott scored on
Mason's double to left. L. Smith and
Larson retired the side by striking
out. The representatives of Omaha's
most popular cigar store scored their
lone run in the fourth inning. B. Voss
gained the initial sack when Herold
muffed the third strike. Voss stole
s-econd and scored when Shook singled
to center. The visitors threatened
again in the sixth, but with two men
ornamenting second and thrid, Greko
came to me rescue aim retired me
side by whiffing three of the league
. i .1 . - 1.1
leaders in rapid succession.
The Sox scored again in the sixth
Maston was hit by a pitched ball, and
scored on Larson's drive to right
Larson advanced to third on L.
Smith's out and scored when Grtko
drove a sacrifice fly to right. The Sox
again counted in the eighth on Greko's
triple to right and Norton's error of
Parriott's smash. Real, who had gain
ed first on Norton's error, was nipped
at the plate on a clohe decision. This
closed the fireworks, as the visitors
were unable to do business in the
ninth, and so packed their cigars and
as the shades of darkness fell stole
silently away, wiser in experience and
poorer in purse.
The game was witnessed by the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
of the season. A large number of
Omahans accompanied the visiting
team, to this city and loyally shared
tlie disappointment with their idols.

MISS ALICE AND MAR
VIN ROOT IMPROVING
FROM LATE ILLNESS
From Tue-i1a v's lallv
The friends in this city of Judge
and Mrs. Jesse L. Root of Omaha will
regret greatly to learn . of a very
serious accident that befell their
daughter, Miss Alice, a short time
ago, when she was thrown from a
carriage in which she was riding and
suffered a fracture of one of her low
er limbs which has caused her a great
deal of pain and suffering, but she is
reported as doing nicely. Marvin
Root, who has been confined to his
home for several months buffering
from an affliction similar to paralysis,
has so far recovered as to be up for a
short time each day. although it will
be some time before he completely re
covers the use of his limbs and is able
to be up and around. His improve
ment will be learned with great pleas
ure. The Root family certainly have
had a great deal of trouble laid on
them in the past few months, as
shortly after the illness of Marvin the
mother of Judge Root was called from
their midst, and with the serious ill
ness of the two children, it seems
more than their just share of trouble.
WILLIAM KIGHFIELD IN A
VERY SERIOUS CONDITION
From TuesdaVs liatlr.
William Highfield. who several
months ago suffered an accident that
resulted in the breaking of his left
leg while at his work in the shops
here, is in very serious condition at
his home in this city, suffering from
an infection of the injured member
which has turned into blood poisoning.
Mr. Highfield has been apparently on
the road to recovery and was able to
be around with the aid of crutches,
but a small infection on the ankle of
the injured limb has caused him a
great deal of suffering and finally de
veloped into blood poisoning. A
trainedl nurse arrived from Omaha
yesterday to assist in caring for him.

This morning a message was re
ceived here announcing the death of
the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Nejedley at their home

George Harasky a few days ago
suffered the msifortune of having one

Searching for Relatie.
From Tuesnav'i I'an.

communication from Denver asking if
a gentleman named Lrne.-t Larnson, a
painter, had arrived in this city, and

A SMALL SIZED RIOT
AT THE M. P. DEPOT
YESTERDAY EVENING
From TufFflav's Iiatlv
Last evening shortly before 8
o'clock the entire police force of the
city, as well as Sheriff Quinton, were
telephone for from the Missouri Pa
cific depot, where it was reported a
number of men who had accompanied
the Kennedy & Restlin base ball team
to this city were engaged in a "near
iot" with several of the young men
from this city and that the contest
was as severe as one of the affrays
over in Europe. The officers respond
ed at cmce to the riot call, and the
utomobile of Guy McMaken was
pressed into service to carry tne
police and sheriff to the scene of the
trouble, which had subsided somewhat
when the authorities reached the
scene, ana tne matter was seitieu
agreeably when the Omaha warriors
agreed to leave at once on the train
and stop their warfare, as all parties
concerned seemed eqully to blame, and
t was thought that little could be
pained by sending anyone to jail, as
one of the Plattsmouth warriors, as
well as one of the visitors, had suf
fered greatly by having their upper
works damaged during the bombard
ment that preceded the arrival of the
officers. A large crowd followed the
officers to the scene of the trouble, but
most of them missed the real excite
ment of the battle.

and pleasing, being in a color scheme
of pink and green, large bouquets of
pink roses forming the centerpieces
of the two daintily arranged tables,
while green candles placed on the
tables added a pleasing touch to the
general decorative scheme. Through
out the rooms of the rectory large
bouquets of roses added their beauty
