WHAT ABOUT A
"HOME COMING
WEEK" IN CITY
These "Home-Cominc" Events Are
Proving Pleasant and Success
ful in Other Towns.
From Frldav's Dally.
One attraction that would prove a
most successful event if properly
handled in this city would be tr.at of
a "home coming" week for those who
now or have in the past ca'led Platts-
mouth "home."
These events when held elsewhere
have drawn great crowds of tcimc-r
residents back to their original home
town to spend a short time with their
friends and old neighbors and i.i the
discussion of the many happy day?
that have passed. Throughout this
secton of Nebraska there lives h.ir.
dreds of old-time residents of this
city who would be delighted with the
opportunity of once again coming in
touch with the old town and the old
friends and meeting with them. Such
a gala gathering could be confined to
two days of entertainment of differ
ent kinds which would prove a pleas
ant feature to the visitors to this city.
There are in Omaha and Lincoln
a great many old residents of Platts
mouth who would like nothing better
than an opportunity of gathering at
the old town to meet with old friends
of the past and once again renew the
ties of the days when their lives were
young and all were together here in
the old town.
It has been suggested that the city
hold a stock show this fall, or some
other feature of entertainment, and
while they are considering anything
in this line they might do well to
entertain the idea of the home-comers
and try at a future time to arrange
and place this event before the pub
lic, where it would soon become an
annual feature and one looked for
ward to with interest by the residents
of this section, as a time when they
can meet with their old friends.
ATHLETIC CARNIVAL
AT THE STATE FAIR
ON SEPTEMBER ID
The management of the state fair
has arranged for a number of athletic
events which will occur on the oc
casion of the Athletic carnival on Fri
day evening. September 10. at the
state fair at Lincoln. To assist in this
work they have extended an invitation
for the co-operation of the state Y. M.
C. A. in securing entries from the
young men of the state in the 100,
2'JO and 440-yard dashes and the 8S0
yard run, as well as farmers for
entries in the farmers' harness team
race. Those who desire to take part
in these events can secure information
by inquiring of E. II. Wescott, the
corresponding member of the Y. M. C.
A. in this city.
MRS. FRANK SIVEY HAS
GUROSITY IN WHAT IS
TERMED A SEA ONION
Mrs. Frank Sivey, who has just re
turned home from Portland, Oregon
where she had been enjoying a visit
of several months, reports a most de
lightful trip and one that allowed her
an opportunity of enjoying to the ut
most the pleasures of the coast coun
try. She brought back with her an
unusual specimen of the vegetable
kingdom in the form of a sea onion
something that one hardly ever sees
in this section of the country. The
plant is of course dried by this time
and at a first glance reminds one of
nothing as much as a large snake,
which it resembles a great deal. The
sea onion was secured by Mrs. Sivey
while out Ashing one day in the Pa
cific ocean, having gone out on an ex
cursion, and when she first caught
sight of it was of the opinion that she
had landed a sea serpent, but was as-
surred by the captain of the boat that
it was nothing dangerous and pulled
it in and brought it back to her
home. The onion grows in the ocean
and the one secured was seven feet
long and had evidently been torn loose
from its bed at the bottom of the
ocean, and floated to the surface,
where it was entangled on the fish
line of Mrs. Sivey.

YOUNG HENNINSS UNDER
GOES AMPUTATION OF ARM
From Saturday's Da.ll v.
Reports received here from the bed
side of John Hennings, the young man
Mho was compelled to undergo the
amputation of his right arm at the
shoulder, as the result of it being
mashed in the accident at the farm of
Philip E. Tritsch last Monday, states
that he is getting along as well as
could possibly be expected, although
he has suffered greatly from the ef
fects of the injury and the operation.
Mike Tritsch, a brother-in-law of the
young man, was at the Presbyterian
hospital in Omaha yesterday visiting
with him, and states that he com
plains of much pain, but the surgeons
in charge are hopeful that the
amputation will be entirely successful
in saving him from further trouble as
a result of the accident and that he
will recover.
REV. F. W. FAY, YALE,
IOWA, AT CHRISTIAN
CHURCH YESTERDAY
Rev. F. Walton Fay of Yale, Iowa,
wlu delivered two discourses at the
Christian church yesterday and last
evening, while he had a very trying
experience in getting here and return
in? to his Iowa home, where he had
to preach a funeral sermon today,
proved to be an exceptionally strong
man in the pulpit. Rev. Fay was born
in the city of London, where he grew
to manhood, graduating from the Uni
versity of London and later from the
University of Ireland, and being en
gaged in the ministry for the past
twenty-five years. In the morning he
had for his subject, "The Eclipse of
Faith," basing his discourse of the fact
of Jchn the Baptist sending messeng
ers to the Master asking, "Art Thou
He that should come or do we, lock for
another?" This seems a striking de
linquency of the part of John the
Baptist, when he had declared just be
fore he had baptized Jesus that "This
is the lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the world," and that had
witnessed the spirit descending as a
dove and alighting on the Master, re
inforced with the declaration of the
father saying, "This is my beloved
son, in whom I am well pleated."
In the evening his subject was,
"What Shall I Do to Re Saved?" In
the evening, like the morning, hi-:
reasoning was terse, and to the point,
showing the well qualified mind, with
a penetrating thought and keen p re
ception of the value of the scriptural
utterances and their value.
He was well received by the mem
bers of the church, who recognize in
him a forceful speaker and a man who
knows the scripture to that extent
that he is able to lucidly explain the
scriptures which may be propounded
to him. He had to hasten away im
mediately after the evening service to
catch a train for home, in order to be
there in time for the funeral, which
occured at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
JAMES W. SAGE LOSES A
FINE PERCHERON STALLION
from Saturnava !is?iy.
James W. Sage had the misfortune
at an early hour this morning to have
one of his most valuable horses die
as the result of the animal suffering
a rupture of the stomach. The horse
was taken sick last night about l:'.i0
and Dr. O. Sandin, the veternarian,
summoned to give relief to the ani
mal, but it was impossible to treat the
case, although a veternarian from
Weeping Water was summoned to
consult in the case, but owing to the
seriousness of the case there was lit
tle that could be done and the horse
died at 3 o'clock this morning. The
loss of the animal was quite severe to
Mr. Sage, as it was .one of the finest
Percheron horses in this section of the
state and was valued at $2,000.
MIKE WARM, JR., FOREMAN
OF THE MACHINE SHDPS
Mike Warga, jr., a former Platts-
mouth young man, who has been em
ployed in the Burlington machine
shops at Havelock, has returned to
this city and on September 1st will
assume the foremanship of the ma
chine shop in this city, taking the
place of Joe Wales, who resigned a
short time ao from this position, and
Mr. Warga will be prepared at once
to enter on his duties. Mr. Wales has
not fully determined just what he will
do in the future, but expects to re
move from this city soon.
THERE I
S NOTH
ING TO WORRY
FARMERS NOW
No one Can Control the Elements and
Farmers Should Feel Fortunate
in Getting a Half Crop.
From Saturday nail v.
Yes, there's ben a lot of rain of
late. Too much, we think, and v
growl and complain about the. damage
it is doing to the crops. Whenever
the high water reaches our pocket
books, then there's too much rain.
When the crops were growing and
needed, lots of rain, rain was all right
and mighty welcome. But when lue
ciops matured and harvest came, vt
wanted sunshine and clear skies In
stead of rain. We wanted things to
come our way we wanted all the f'uh
to swim into our nets. We are jut
selfish enough to want the weathe
n.an to resign his job in oar favor
at least during the crop season. Most
any of us think that we could im
prove the service if we only had thi
chance. At any rate, we should not
let the rain spoil the crop after k
had produced them. The cow would
never kick over the bucket of milk, if
we had our way about it. There has
been a lot of worrying about the
weather, but nothing much has evei
been dons about it. Worrying do.v;
just about as much good as anylhi.ig
else could do, so we worry anil hope
for the best.
Rut in speaking of the crops, there's
not so mueh to worry about. It i-
true that there will be heavy loss be
cause of excessive rains, but we can
lose one-third of all the grain pro
duced and still have more than an
average crop left, providence set a
new high, maik this year and we we.v
expecting too much. We were expect
ing Frovidenca to stand by us all ihe
way through and turn off the leak
when the threshers came. We we re
building upon our prospects and
counting our money before it was
coined. And whe-n we do this we may
count on disappointments. Providence;
never gives us a mortgage on Sv.c
futuie. We may raise our big crops
of grain, but we have no asurai
hat they will ever reach the granary.
And so ii is with CAeryihing we p!a;:.
There are- very few "sure things" .'n
our short span of life. When we
plant our crops we do not know who
will harvest them, nor that there will
be anything to harvest. The whe It
plan so far as we aie concerned
pretty mueh cf a leap in the da;';,
and v a may well consider curs';!. v
lucky if we get only an average crop
It is for us to piar.t and to do what
man may do, but the increase and the
harve-st are not of our making. An!
it is for us to prepare anJ to n:an
for the future, but we must expect
that many prospt-e-ts may produce oniy
an average crop, maybe nothing at ail.
C:op failures come to all of us. Rain
and cloudy weather come just when
we are expecting to reap the harve.
of a life of toil. That's a part of the
game. Rut there's always a chance to
win, and the good farmer sows the
grain and does his part. And the n.un
who does his part will reap an aver
age crop, rain or shine.

ANOTHER PLEASANT PICNIC
From Saturday's rall.
Last evening a pleasant picnic party
was held down near the big Burling
ton bridge by the young ladies em
ployed in the offices at the shops, in
honor of Mrs. J. R. Jennings of Hart
ford, Connecticut, who has been here
for a few weeks visiting with friends
and relatives, and the occasion was
one of much pelasuntr.ess to all those
who were present. The jolly party
wended their way at the close of the
afternoon down along the cool and
pleasant roadway to the river bank,
where they at once collected the ma
terial for the roaring eatnpiire, and
soon the fire was ready for the pre
paration of the good things to eat,
and over its bright glowing embers
beefsteak was broiled and potatoes
roasted, which 'formed the main feat
ures of the pleasant and de-iicious re
past. Tl o evening was spent in en
joying the restful calm of the twi
light hours along the surging waters
of the l iver, and as the stars rtole out
into the- evening's sky the jolly party
broke camp and came back t the city,
after a delightful time. Those in at
tendance were: Misses Lcona Brady,
Madeline Minor, Nettie Moore, Hazel
Cow!es. Mayola Propst, Hazen and
Alice Tuev and Mrs. Jennings.

during the wee small h jurs this morn
ing. Vaiious games and amusemencs
had been planned and these were
entered into with much enthusiasm
and interest and produced much mer
limer.t and frolic. These were -interspersed
with both vocal and instru

leature ot the evenings entertain

jur.cheon was served. An hour or so
devoted to a little further social time
and then the guests departed for their

B1INAYAY PREVENTED
BY LEVELIiEftDNESS
OF MR. RAY M'MAKEN
Last evening about :"0 a rather
exciting time was had at the corner of
Sixth and Vine streets, and but for the
coi1 -headiness of Ray McMaken, a
serious runaway would have occurred
R;iy and Bryan Snyder were driving
down in a buggy from the McMaken
home and had just turned from Vine
street into Sixth street when one of
the front wheels on the buggy came
c.ff and this frightened the horse, who
started to run, and for a few seconds
it looked very serious, but Ray jumped
from the buggy, still holding the lines,
and Bryan followed him in jumping
from tha vehicle, while Ray was hold
ing back on the lines and succeeded in
turning the frightened horse up the
alicy back of the Riley, where the ani
mal was finally stopped anil the buggy
fixed up again. There was plenty of
opportunity for a very serious run-
iway and in nine cases out of ten the
driver would-have lost his head, but
in this case the coolness of Mr. Mc
Maken saved himself and companion
from a serious accident.
Mrs. Major A. Ball and daughter.

DEATH OF FOR
MER RESIDENT OF
PSJTTSMOUTfi
Gustavus Schnasse Passes Away at
Rapid City, N. 1)., at Advanced
Age of 87 Years.
The following from the Rapid City,
(S. D.) Journal contains an excellent
biography of Gustavus Schnasse, wh
many years ago was one of the prom
inent business men of Plattsmouth
and a distinguished figure in the his
tory of the city in the early seventies,
where he had established himself in
the mercantile business and resideJ
here until the Black Hills excitement
of the late seventies, when he re
moved to Rapid City, where he spent
the remaining years. He will be well
remembered by a greater number of
the old residents of this city as -i
most energetic and capable business
man and a gentleman held in the high
est esteem by those with whom he had
come in touch:
Died In Rapid City, August 2f,
1!1.", Gustavas Schnasse, of paraly
sis, aged 87 years. 11 months and
21 days.
In the death of Gustavus Schnasse
Rapid City loses one of its oldest an 1
most prominent residents, he having
come here in May, 1877. Mr. Schnasse
was born in the central part of Ger
many, August 31, IS'JS. In 184S hs
came to America, stopping for a short
time in Williamsburg, N. Y., but be
fore the year was out he moved to
Watertown, Wis., where he remained
until about 1SG7. In lSt"5, in Almira,
Wis., he married Dorothea Lenhofif,
and a few years later ntoved to P'atts
mouth, Neb., then to Rapid City. M-.
Schnasse was in the merchantile bu.:
ness during a large part of his life,
though often was called to official
positions. He was for one term regis
ter of deeds of Jefferson county, Wis
consin, and city treasurer of Water
town, Wis., for two terms, defeating
Carl Schurz.
During his residence here ne
served as president of the board of
education, on the first board of trus
tees of the School of Mines, and was
postmaster of Rapid City for a num
ber of years, under democratic ad
ministration. During the first years of his resi
dence in Rapid City Mr. Schnasse was
associated in business with the late
William Grarnberg. He was one of
the organizers of the Rapid City
Railway company, and also of the
Rapid City Electric Light company
He had been president of the Rapid
River Milling company from its or
ganization. It will thus be seen tht
he was porgressive and always ready
to help in anything that had to do
with the upbuilding of the place
where he made his home. Ha was in
the prime? of life when he first- carna
to Rapid City and he was ever alert
to do his part in making things move.
In proof of this it may be stated that
he was a subscriber to the first issua
ef the Journal, and from that time -o
this continued to be a subscriber, his
death leaving but one person still
living who put Ms name down for the
first number and has kept it there
ever since.
Mr. and Mrs. Schnasse were the
whom died before they came to th
Hills, and one other, Rudolph, dyin-:
July l., !?.;. the remaining son,
Gottlcib. of Spokane, Wash., survives
his father. He is married and has
two daughters. For a number of
years Mr. Schnasse has been in very
poor health, having been confined to
his room for the past three or four.
On the twenty-third of January, this
year, Mrs. Schnasse laid down the
burden of life and parsed on to await
the coming of him with whom die
had lived for fifty years, lacking a few
months.
John and Ed MeNamara have boc-i
the same as sons to the aged ma.i
who has passed away and it will be
a sorrow to them that they happened
to be in California at this time. Ar-
langements for the funeral will not
be made until word is received from
Gottleib Schnasse, who with his fam
ily will arrive as soon as time an 1
train service will permit. Mrs.
Schnasse, jr., has only been away -i
few weeks, having been here looking
after her father-in-law for most of
the time since his wife's death.
