BILLY "SINGLE"
CLIFFORD COMING
MONDAY NIGHT
One of the Best Shows That Ever
Struck Plattsmouth, and Always
Pleases the People.
.mi
Those who had the pleasure of at
tending: the performance here of Billy
"Single" Clifford two . years ago in
"Believe Me." will be pleased to learn
that this clever comedian will soon be
with us again, on Monday, October 11,
in his new and entirely successful pro
.liwtion. "Walk This Way." in which
Mr. Clifford and his bevy of Merry-
Minstrel Maids have scored a great
hit in every city in which they have
appeared. They have been showing on
the Pacific coast and are en route east.
The Ogden Daily Examiner of Sep
tember 27, in speaking; of this attrac
tion, gives vent to the general feeling
expressed where the show has been,
and the following from the Examiner
is certainly a good boost:
Billy "Single" Clifford came to Og
den last night, convulsed an audience
at the Orpheum theater and then de
parted for other scenes. Llirrord is
the same merry-making Englishman
that has delighted dozens of audi
ences each month for dozens of years
Be-ides he has gathered around him a
very capable company, one of spe
cialists.
The offering. "Walk This Way."
isn't a p'.ay and it isn't vaudeville
it'.- iust a bunch of nonsense and
muic thrown together, with Billy
"Single" Clifford tovsed in on top the
heap, all for the amusement of an
audience. There's something over
two hours of amu.-ement in the lot
Clifford offers a good round sum if
any one can find a plot in his offer
irg. sketch or play. No one has even
intimated, after attending the event,
thr.t he or she cared to tackle the job
of getting the money.
Clifford has it arranged so that the
first scene shows the entrance of his
cir. nan v. ar.d himself, to the theater
where "Walk This Way" is to be pre
sor.ted. the scenery depicting the
stage entrance. The second scene is
the office and reception room in a
ho-pital. Clifford, as the doctor in
charge, carries off some honors in
acting in the scene, being assisted by
Mi-;-es Gloria, Julia and Catherine
Weston. Miss ?.Iae "Ginger" Collins
Miss Ioris Bates. Miss Helen Clark.
Billv Van Allen and Garrett Bannis
ter.
The- Weston sisters have establish
cu quite a reputation as instrument
alists with Clifford's company on
previous tours. This year their act
irg is also a feature. One acts the
pan of the head nurse, another is the
p-.atron, the third is a patient. Then
there is the stenographer. Miss Col
lins; the nervous wreck. Miss Clark,
and the balltt dancer. Miss Doris
Bates. They all assist Clifford in get
ting his jokes, some old and some
new. before the audience. But Billy
Van Allen, as the "Pohtah," is the
one chef and real assistant. He had
four encores for one of his numbers
and as a negro comedian is consid
i? red one of the really good ones who
have come here.
The first scene of the second act
is set on the lawn of the hospital, a
benefit entertainment for the institu
tion. This gives an opportunity for
the Weston sisters to give a musical
program, for Clifford and Van Allen
to spring some more comedy, for
songs by Miss Clark and bv Miss Col
lins, and a catchy dance by Clifford
and Miss Collins. The company has
its own orchestra, used on the stage
in this scene. At the finish, Clifford
puts over his latest song and conducts
a school, the audience taking the place
of the student bodv. The final scene
is the stage entrance once more, with
the exit of the entire company, Clif
ford as the rear guard.
Clifford has been seen more than
once in Ogden, but he showed last
night that he continues to be a real
favorite.
Remember the date at the Parmele
theater Monday night, October 11.

NEW SON AT FRANK LORENZ
HOME III SHELDON, IOWA
From Tuesday's Dally.
John Kopia, the West Main street
merchant, has been wearing a mighty
broad smile for the past two days that
has caused many to wonder the cause
of it, but the truth has come to light
that he is now a happy grandpa, as
a fine seven-pound boy baby arrived
Sunday evening at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Lorenz in Sheldon,
Iowa, and that the mother and little
one are doing nicely, while Frank is
simply walking on air since the happy
event. Mrs. Lorenz was formerly Miss
Anna Kopia of this city.
FAREWELL SURPRISE
TO MR. AND MRS.
G. W. MAYFIELD
From Tuesday's Dally.
Last evening at their home in Louis
ville Elder G. W. Mayfield and wife
were made the recipients of a very
pleasant farewell party from their
many friends in that city and vicinity,
who gathered to pay their respects to
this worthy couple who are among the
pioneers of Cass county, as Mr. May
field arrived here in ISoO and has since
that time beer, among the leading citi
zens of this great county. Mr. and
Mrs. Mayfield are to leave on Novem
ber 1st for El Paso, Texas, where they
expect to spend the winter months
with their daughter. Mrs. F. A. Secord
and family, ar.d enjoy the pleasant
southern climate in that city, where
Mr. Secord is located as the superin
tendent of telegraph of the El Paso
& Southwestern railroad.
The gathering last evening was one
of the rarest eajoyment and the many
friends of this estimable gentleman
and lady exttnded to them their best
wishes for a happy and pleasant
sojourn in the southern city. Elder
Mayfield and wife departed this morn-
ir.g for Stan-in. Neb., to visit their
son. G. A. Mayfield, and where Mr
Mayfield will officiate on Saturday.
October 1'th. at the marriage of his
grar.ddaughtt i, Miss Olive Mayfield,
to Mr. Boyd Bointon, which will be
celebrated at the home of the bride's
parents. Mr. Mayfield is Trt years of
age and his worthy helpmate a few
years younger, and they feel that the
co'ming trip t- Texas will be one of
much benefit to them both, as the Ne
braska winters are proving rather
severe on them. It is to be hoped that
they enjoy themselves to the utmost
and return home to old Cass county
next spring f-itfe and sound.
THE FAMOUS CALF CASE IN
THE LIMELIGHT ONCE MORE
Frm Tuesday's Dally.
The famous calf case of James Ter-
ryberry vs. Earl Wiles and M. C
Walker is about to be again brought
into the limeli.-fht and given more pub
licity. This is the case that attracted
so much atter tion a few months ago
when ifwas tried in county court be
fore a jury consisting of M. L. Fried-
rich and George Born, and which re
suited in a disagreement of the jury.
and the necessity of having it tried
over. The pl&intiff claims to have lost
a calf which was found later, he
claims, in the herd of Mr. Wiles and
identified by the Terryberry boys as
that which hjid been in their posses
sion, while on the other hand Mr
Wiles and seeral others are positive
that the calf is one they laised on their
farm and which had only a slight dif
ference in age with that of the calf of
Mr. Terryberiy. The calf in question
had been sold by Mr. Wiles to M. C
Walker, and it was from him that the
animal was replevined by the plaintiff,
and his appearance in the case is
merely that of the purchaser of the
calf.
The parties in the case, to save the
expense of a jury trial a second time,
have decided to let County Judge Bee-
son pass on the case on the evidence
submitted in the first case, and the
judge will hand down his decision on
Saturday next, and teh result will be
awaited with interest by the friends of
both parties throughout the county,
but whatever the result the case will
probably bea ppealed to the district
coutr for a further airing. The case
is a very peculiar one and will be a
hard matter to arrive at a decision, as
the evidence is very conflicting in re
gard to the identification.

SPECIAL SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY NIGHT
Called for the Purpose of Letting the
Contract for Filling Washington
Avenue Sewer.
From Tuesdays Dally.
The city dads last evening assembled
in session at the city hall, after a
great deal of difficulty and loss of good
time in getting the meeting to work
ing. The council by a unanimous vote
at the previous session one week ago
had agreed to meet on this date in
order to settle the question of the let
ting of the contract for the filling of
the Washington avenue sewer, and it
was generally understood that the ses
sion was to be held for this purpose,
and a majority of the members as
sembled at the council chamber to get
busy, when it was learned that it had
been decided to call the meeting off, as
it required a signed call to make the
meeting fegal. The boys who were on
the job soon got busy, and getting in
touch with Mayor Richey, Clerk Ne-
metz and the remaining councilmen,
soon had a call ready, which allowed
them to go ahead with the business of
the evening, and all were in their seats
when the gavel fell at i) o'clock, with
the exception of Councilman Shea of
the Fifth, who had not been able to
reach the scene of action in time to
participate in the meeting.
There were three bids ready for the
consideration of the council, which
were opened and read by the city
clerk. S. W. Uanosme bid 30c per
cubic yard, or $S20 for the whole job;
J. F. Clugy bid ?,0i-e per cubic yard,
or $S0$.o0 for the completed work, and
J. II. McMaken 2ic per cubic yard and
STTl.'JO for the whole job. The bids
after being read were turned over to
the streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee for examination, and they, af
ter a careful consideration, returned
a report in which they recommended
the letting of the contract to J. H. Mc
Maken at the prk-e of 2ic a yard.
Councilman Bajeck moved that the
repotr of the committee be adopted and
the contract let as recommended, on
the providing of a suitable bond by the
contractor.
Councilman Johnson thought that a
time limit should be specified in the
contract as a protection to the city,
i-nd this opinion was shared by Coun
cilman Lushinsky, who desired to have
Mr. McMaken, who was present, ex
plain to the council just how he was
fixed on the matter of a time limit for
i he work.
Mr. McMaken, in explaining, stated
that he had taken the contract at a
lower figure than he had really expect
ed to, as he intended to use his own
teams as far as possible, and this
would take some time, and also that
the weather would have a great deal
to io with the filling of the ditch, as it
might be possible to get the work out
in thirty days or sixty, or it might
take ninety days to do the work, but
he was going to get the work out as
soon as possible and would ask the
council to allow him sufficient time to
do the work without having to employ
a large number of workmen and teams
for the job, as he had taken the con
tract with the idea of making the fill
with his own men and teams.
Councilman Buttery desired to have
sixty working days set as the time for
the completion of the work, and this
was agreeable to the other councilmen
Mayor Richey warned the counci
that while the bids called for the se
curing of the dirt for the fill from Vine
street from Eighth to Tenth, it might
become necessary to get it at other
locations and this should be consider
ed by the council in the' letting of the
contract and clearly understood, as
there had been complaint made as to
taking the dirt from in front of the
Mann property and the city might face
an injunction and be compelled to go
to some other section to procure the
dirt for the fill.
Councilman Mauzy stated he had
been informed that a great deal of
dirt could be procured from the prop
erty of Mike McCool, which would go
a long way toward making the needed
fill.
Councilman Bestor, in reply to the
question of several of the councilmen,
stated that the dirt taken from Vine
street, if moved under the old grade.
would make a cut of probably twenty
feet, but under the new grade estab
lished it would not be over six feet at
the most and the greater part of the
cut would be on the east side of the
hill.
After quite a little discussion the
resolution letting the contract was
drawn up to include the taking of dirt
from any spot agreeable to the city
and contractor, and the boys all went
home.
A want ad in the Journal will bring
results.
MRS. GEORGE A. MEISINGER
OPERATED ON FOR TUMOR
From Wednesday' Dally.
lesterday at St. Joseph's hospital
in Omaha, Mrs. George A. M'eisinger
of this city was operated on for a
tumor which had been giving her a
great deal of trouble for the past few
weeks, and reports from the hospital
indicate that she is getting along nice
ly, although suffering considerable
pain. Mrs. Meisinger was operated on
several months ago for this same
trouble, and for five weeks was at the
hospital, but the re-appearance of the
tumor has made it necessary for the
second operation. It is to be hoped
that this estimable lady will recover
from her ordeal and soon be able to
return to her home and family, entire
ly cured of the affliction.
DAN CUPID GETS
IN HIS WORK ON
ANOTHER COUPLE
Mr. William Becker of Osmond and
Miss Mary MrGuire of This City
.Married at St. John's Church.
From Wednesday's Pally
This morning at St. John's Catholic
church occurred the marriage of Mr
William Becker of Osmond, Neb., and
Miss Mary McGuire of this city. The
beautiful nuptial mass was performed
at J o'clock by Rev. Father M. A.
Shine, pastor of the church, and a
large number of relatives and friends
of the contracting parties were pres
ent to witness the ceremony that
made these two hearts as one.
The bride was attired in a very at
tractive costume of dark blue broad
cloth and wore a large blue picture
hat, while the groom was attired in
the customary dark suit. The bride
and groom were attended by Mrs. A
R. Payton of Chicago as matron of
honor, while Misses Caroline Becker
of Osmond and Miss Nellie Ryan of
this city acted as the bridesmaids. The
groom was attended by Charles Mc
Guire, brother of the bride, and Dr
Paul Becker of Osmond, as grooms
men. The wedding party was pre
ceded by Miss Majorie Payton of
Chicago, who bore the golden wed
ding ring which was to seal the vows
of love and matrimony, and after the
blessing of the minister was placed on
the ring of the bride, marking one of
the happiest days in the lives of these
young people.
After the wedding the bridal party
were entertained at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
McGuire, for several hours and a
dainty and delicious wedding luncheon
served that was very much enjoyed
by the jolly party. The young people
left this afternoon at 4:15 for Gretna,
where the will spend a few days
with relatives and friends before re
turning to their home at Osmond.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles McGuire and
is a young lady who has been reared
here in this city and is a lady of more
than usual charm of character, and
for the past two years has been en
gaged in teaching near Osmond, where
she and Mr. Becker first became ac
quainted, and which romance found
its culmination this morning in their
marriage. The groom is a prosperous
young farmer of the vicinity and a
young man of the highest character
and held in high esteem by his many
friends. The best wishes of the
friends here go with Mr. and Mrs.
Becker in their new home.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM A
GENUINE BLAZE LAST NIGHT
8nm Wednesday Dally.
Last evening there was a very live
ly time around the drug store of Wey
rich & Hadraba when it was dis
covered that the screen door at the
rear of the store was blazing up, and
for a few minutes it looked as though
the fire might grow to dangerous pro
portions, and had it not been for the
heroic work of the bucket brigade the
result might have been serious. Carl
Wohlfarth, one of the clerks in the
store, was slightly burned while he
was attempting to tear i :;trt of tha
burning screen door down. The fire
is supposed to have originated from
a small blaze which was set in the al
ley in the afternoon to burn some
trash, and which is supposed to have
allowed a live spark to blow over and
lodge on the screen, causing the fire.

WEDDING BELLS
RING OUT AGAIN IN
PLATTSMOUTH
Mr. Leon L. McCarty and Miss Anna
Louise Wohlfarth United in Wed
lock Tuesday Evening.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Last evening at the pleasant home
of Miss Louise Gorder, on North Third
street, was solomnized the nuptials of
Mr. Leon L. McCarty and Miss Anna
Louise Wohlfarth, in the presence elf a
large number of relatives and friends
of the young people, whose lives were
joined in holy wedlock.
Preceding the ceremony. Miss Mar
garet Wohlfarth, sister of the bride,
sang verysweetly, "I Love You Truly,"
and as the notes of the song died
away the strains of the Mendelssohn
wedding march were played very soft
ly by Mrs. C. H. Smith, as the bridal
party entered the parlors. One of the
pleasing features of the wedding was
that Mrs. Smith had performed the
same office for the father and mother
of the bride thirty-three years ago in
the same home where the daughter
was to be united. The bridal party
was preceded in descending the stairs
to the parlor by the six little ribbon
bearers, Fred and Martha Gorder,
Helen and Harlan Gorder, Emma
Wohlfarth and Edna May Gorder, who
formed an aisle of white ribbon
through which the wedding party
moved to the parlor, where they took
their stations before a screen of as
paragas ferns and cream roses, while
on either side of the floral bower large
bouquets of the roses and ferns added
their beauty to the occasion. The
marriage lines were read by Kjv. A.
F. Ploetz of Scotland, South Dakota.
uncle of the bride, and the ancient
Moravian ring ceremony was used in
uniting of the two estimable young
people, and as the minister spoke the
words that made their lives as one, a
reverential silence prevailed through
the home as the blessing was called
down upon the lives now about to
enter on life's journey as one. The
bride and groom were attended by Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Downing of St. Jos
eph, Missouri, as best man and
matron of honor. The bride's costume
was one of white organdie with a
bertha of real antique lace, with the
long flowing bridal veil. She carried
a shower bouquet of bride roses and
the only jewels was a beautiful La
Valire of sapphires. The groom was
attired in the conventional black.
Following the wedding ceremony
the guests were served with a very
dainty and delicious two-course lunch
eon which was served by Mrs. Olga
Croscary and the members of the
Modern Priscilla club, of which the
bride was a member. During the re
ception Misses Eda Marquardt and
Margaret Wohlfarth gave a number of
very delightful vocal and instrumental
numbers, which were very much en
joyed. The (lining room and hall of the
home were very tastefully arranged
with bouquets of red roses and yellow
dahlias, and here the presents, which
were very numerous and beautiful,
were in charge of Misses Gertrude
Sellemire or Omaha and Dorothy
Gorder.
The guests were received by Mrs.
A. F. Ploetz of Scotland, S. D.: Mrs.
Chris Wohlfarth, mother of the bride.
and Miss Louise Gorder.
Those from out of town attending
the wedding were: Fred H. Gorder
and family, Weeping Water; Mr. and
Mrs. Lynn O. McCarty, Sheridan

PERSONAL APPEARANCE
From Weilnesrtav's IJailv.
Do you notice the new interest men
ate displaying in their personal ap
pearance? A wave of worthy pride is
sweeping over the country. It is here,
and the merchants have thrown their
doors open in an attempt to prove
that the problem of men's attire is no
longer a matter of mere dollars.
The "Dress Up" movement is based
on the fact that men feel well when
they look well. The man who takes
an interest in his dress takes more
interest in his work. Nothing suc
ceeds like success. And the first step
towards success is to look the part.
Dress up! Take an interest in your
appearance and the world will take a
greater interest in you.

Been Getting
AT THE
MRS. P. REYNOLDS WHO
HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY
ILL IS IMPROVING
Mrs. P. Reynolds, who has been
lying at her home in the south part of
the city for the past few days in a
very serious condition, is reported as
resting as easily as possible under the
circumstances, but there is little hope
entertained that she will recover from
the stroke of paralysis which has ren
dered her almost helpless for the last
few days. Mrs. Reynolds is well ad
vanced in years, being close to 80, and
the stroke, which affected her left
side has been a very great shock to
her and it seems almost impossible for
her to rally from the attack. The ill
ness of his wife has come as a great
blow to Rev. Reynolds, and he is
showing signs of breaking under the
strain that has greatly alarmed his
relatives and friends. Victor Rey
nolds of Omaha, a son of the aged
couple, with his family, are here look
ing after the needs of Kev. and .Mrs.
Reynolds, but the condition of the
mother is so poorly as to cause her
recovery to be almost dispaired of by
the relatives and friends.

improving it is a great relief to them.
