next few mnths in the way of new
homes and residences.
Mayor E. J. Richey, who at the last
meeting of the club had been asked
to furnish an estimate on the cost of
a small residence similar to the type
that is being erected in large numbers
in Omaha at the present time, report
ed that he bad made a trip up there
and looked over the house mentioned
and found that it could be put for ?1,
000. This house was 21x3 and con
sisted of five rooms, and he hat! in his
estimate improved on the Omaha
house by adding a bath room. It was
a very comfortable little home, and
while not on an elaborate scale, was
most comfortable in every way. The
parlor was 12x14. the dining room
closets, and the kitchen also 10x12,
while the bath room is made from a
vacant corner of the building.
A. L. Tidd informed the club that
he had mad 2 out two abstracts for
new homes and that three more were
awaiting his work, so that the parties
could get busy in the construction of
the houses. Messrs. J. P. Falter and
R. B. Windham each stated that they
had no residence property for rent
ind that the demand was far greater
than the supply of houses.
Ben Windham, who had been asked
by the social committee, was pres
ent and responded very generou.-dy to
a reading given in his own pleasing
manner, and which was received with
warm approval. It was in the line
of a humorous recitation.
The real excitement of the meeting
was rlevelopel when the discussion of
the electrolier proposition was
brought up by President Wescott. who
mentioned that it had been agitated
to a great extent and that the club
had made endeavors to get prices on
installation from the different towns
of the state and he asked that the dif
ferent members give expression to
their views.
J. II. McMaken inquired as to what
lights were to be put on Main street
and on the avenues, as he thought
Washington avenue especially should
be better lighted than it is at present.
J. P. Falter stated that it was a
question as to whether or not the
property owners or the merchants
should be the ones to pay for the in
stalling of the posts for th? lights,
and he had taken the matte1- i:p with
Mr Cunningham, the owner of the
Coates' block, who seemed to think
that it was ip to the merchants to
provide for the lights. In several of
the cities the vdty itself had put in
the electroliers, and in Grand Island
and Falls City the merchants had con
tributed and had them placed in and
the city operated them.
In response to a question of Mr
McMaken, Jess Warga stated that the
proposition which he had placed be
fore a number of the merchants was
that of $80 post, figured, on three

DELIGHTFUL PICNIC
PARTY AT THE RIVER
LAST EVENING
mighty slim and much pleasure was
derived in the fun and jolliness pre
vailing among the party as they dis-
Iosed of their luncheon. Just before
the hour for their departure home
ward the rain storm came up and soon
modern town the electrolier was the
most uesful and successful method of
lighting and there was a wide range
of different designs and styles that
might be secured.
R. B. Windham wanted to know

grounds and the party was compelled ate the electroliers would be.
to seek shelter at the summer home Councilman Bestor, who was at the
r.f Mr. and Mrs. E. A. url, near the meeting, responded that it was im

the storm, when they returned to the lights until the number and power

A. L. Tidd at this time secured the
County Assessor W. B. Bryan re- floor and proceeded to go after the
turned Saturday from Ashland, -where I electrolier proposition and stated that
he has been for a few days assisting! he did not think the cost of gl,500
in the wheat harvest on his farm I would never cover the cost of operat-
near that place. ' ; mg the electroliers and the upkeep on
them would be much more, as he had
read of a hail storm in a town recent
ly that had destroyed a great many
globes of the lamps in use, and this
would have to be replaced. He
thought it would beautify the city to
have electroliers, but did not think it
a wise thing to do at this time, as
the city would have to soon erect a
$50,000 school building, and if there
were lights he thought they should
be scattered out. lie stated he did
not live on Main street and could
not get the benefit of any liglt that
might be used to beautify and il
luminate the main business section of
the city, anil he thought the light
should be placed on the avenues. The
address of Mr. Tidd was quite lengthy
and was decidedly feinist the electro
Hers on Main street.
Mr. Manlove asked if there hud
been any arrangements as to the city
having to replace the lights and
globes, as he understood that th
lighting company was to see that the
electroliers were kent in shape after
they were installed. Chairman Lush
insky of the lighting committee, who
together with t he other members o
the committee, has devoted a study of
several months to the light question
and particularly the electroliers, stat
ed that the light company was to
look after the lights when they wen
installed and the cost of operatin
them was to be ')2 per year each.
Mr. Bestor. of the same committee
.stilted that the light committee had
figured on an increase of the light
on the three avenues and on the stree
leading tip Wintersteen Hill, as well
as the lights on Main street.
G. P. Eastwood, who was called on
by the president, stated that he had
been in a great many towns in this
state, but here they had the pooref
lights of any other city lie had visited
and it was an injustice to the enter
pi i-e of the city that there was not
better showing made and it was real
ly a disgrace.
President Wescott stated that h
had favored electroliers for several
years and thought that they should
be had if possible, but did not favo
them if the city could not afford them
Mr. I.ushin.-ikv, for the benefit of
the Commercial club, gave a lotgh
estimate of what the committee had
figured as a basis for the lights pro
posed and their cost. Seventy-one 40
candle power lights at $12. 0 each
amounting to S'jOX.80; lib' 00-ean
power lights at SIS each, amounting
to 4'8; 12 electroliers of three light
each, two of which were to burn until
midnight and one all night, at S3
each, or 1.512; making a grand total
of S2.RS8.S0.
R. B. Windham gave quite
lengthy speech, in which he advanced
reasons for not expending money for
the lights as proposed, which oc
cupied some time.
.Mayor uicney. in auu; essiiig in
club, stated that the council had been
kept up in the air on the lij lit pro
position by the fact that they had no
settled idea of what was ready want
ed, and that if would be necessary to
know what was desired by Monday
night, so that they might decide as to
what was to be done in regard to the
light question.
Mr. Bestor stated that an investiga
tion of the levies for lights from lJ-'fcS
to 1904 had showed all the way from
-?2,500 to $1,500 for lighting service
to the city.
On motion it was decided to have
a special meeting of the business men
in older to get a line of their views
and a step in that direction will be
made as soon as possible.
On the good roads question Mr
Wescott stated that the governor has
set aside July 2:th and 30th as good
roads days.
After the long discussion the clul
adjourned until their meeting next
month, with the hopes of having the
light question settled by that time.

MISSOURI RIVER RAISED
GNE-TENTH OF Ail Ih'GH
From Friday's Daily.
r-i ? - - ....
ine .Missouri river at tnis place
showed a slight raise this morning,
one-tenth of an inch being registered.
The overflow from the Tlatle river
has again come down over the pas
ture and field of Tom Stokes, as well
as the land just south of the water
company's pumping station, and this
will probably remain for some time.
as it is much lower than the land
nearer the river, and the water will
stand until dried up by the sun. Those
who have been farming the land cer
tainly have had hard hick this year,
and there will be hardly anything re
alized from the land except a good
crop of weeds. The rise in the river
is liable to be even more, as a num
ber of the streams in the northwest
are still swollen and emptying into
the Missouri.

and then planted. The first year there
is not much of a showing made, but
in the third year the potato has de
veloped into bearing and in addition
to a great number of the potatoe
formed in the ground, which are ex
cellent quality. Immediately after the
plant has bloomed the seeds begin to
form and in appearance would deceive
one into think thorn a small variety
of tomato. These seeds can then be
used to further increase the yield an
in this way a large number of pota
toes can be secured. Mr. Kaffcnberg
er states that this variety of seed
bearing potatoes is found in Ger
many greatly in excess of the variety
of common potato, and the yield from
them is very, heavy.
From Saturday's Daily.
The storm which visited this city
last evening about 8 o'clock was very
severe west and south of here, from
icports brought by residents of those
sections, and a great deal of damage
was done to the corn, as acre after
acre was washed out and laid to the
ground by the force of the water
sweeping across the hills. The creeks
and water courses are all filled and
the Four Mile stream west of this
city has spread out over the bottoms
and in places is several blocks wide
and has made the lowlands very wet
and muddy and the roads in places
are almost impassable for travel. In
Eight Mile Grove the greatest force
of the rain seems to have been felt,
although reports from south and west
of Mynard state that much corn was
damaged by the storm, and on the
hillsides there was a great deal wash
ed out. While the storm was of
short duration in this city, the rain
came down very lively and quite a
good deal of water was to be seen
kowing down Main street onto the
river bottom.

The different schools throughout
Cass county have in the last few
weeks been practically filled with the
various applicants, and there is hard
ly a district that is not provided with
their teachers for the ensuing year.
Despite the large number of young
lady teachers turned out each year
from the various schools of the coun
ty, there is always room for them in
the list of teachers and several who
were graduates this year from the
Plattsmouth schools have been chosen
too ccupy positions in different parts
of the county, and Superintendent
Miss Eda Marquardt feels well pleas
ed that this task of selecting the
teachers has been handled so easily.
