Edward Bartlir.g Seed Co., Nebraska City, Neb. 1-21-ltw Has Eye Badly Injured. From Friday's Dally. This morning John Cloidt, who is employed in the Burlington planing mill, met with quite a serious accident when he was struck in the left eye by a splinter and small piece of wood and the eyeball cut in a rather serious manner. He was a visitor in Omaha today, where the injured eye will be examined by Dr. GifFord to determine just how serious the injury really is. Mrs. Cloidt and Dr. Stuart Livingston accompanied the injured young man to Omaha to see the specialist. NO SHOW FOR 11 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION FOR From Saturday's Datlv. The Fourth of July celebration ques tion was discussed at some length at the Commercial club meeting Thurs day evening, and from the statements of a number of the leaders of the or ganization they do not feel that the expenditure for a celebration would be warranted, but feel rather that the weekly entertainments and band con certs throughout the summer months would be a more successful means of entertainment for the citizens and those who visit the city. President We.-cott desired to have an expression from the members present and a num ber gave their views on the matter and were decidedly against the cele bration idea. One cf the members suggested a fall festival and stock show, but this did not sc-eni to arouse a great deal of enthusiasm, as there is hardly a suitable place where the stock t-how can be h.'.nd-cd in proper shape, and it seems probable that the only solution of the piobkm, will be in the weekly entertainments on Sat urday afternoons. If the weather con ditions are anything 'ike favorable this should prove a much better success this year than la.-t and afford a means of amusement for voung and old alike. H DiSASTRiOUS FiBE HEAR WEEPING WATER ! From Saturday's Daily. The following taken ncrri the Weep ing Water Republican, gives the par ticulars of a very serious tire which occurred there the fhrt of the week and wmch came near resultinir fataliv I for R. S. McClcery, one of the promin ent contractors of the ccantv: IcCleery lost his bain by lire, s-hortiv after 1 o'clock and ! narrowly escaped from being serious-j !y burned or losing his life. M-. McCieeiy had smarted his ca which was in his old barn, and hi gone to the erarage a short dist'i nee I away for a wrench, leaving the en gine running, and ju.-t as he returned to the door of the barn an explo.-ion took place which knocked him down, j X v -v A 111 II 111. . 1 IIIIO.V A IU . .o Le J he put the fire out on his person with out much injury to himself a.-ide from being scorched about the head and face. In a moment's time the bans ! was a mass of 11am. s and before as sistance could ariived it was burned to the ground and nothing saved. The fire boys made a da-h for the scene with the chemical engine. They tried to save the cement mixer which was in the barn, but the fire had gained such a headway nothing could be saved. Had Mr. McClcery been farther in ride the barn no doubt he would have been burned to death. Fortunately there was no stock in the barn, as all the stock are kept in the new barn built last summer. Instead the barn was used as a store room and contain ed beside the new Maxwell 2o, all of Mr. McClecry's cement tools, cement mixer and a number of farm tool such as mowing maehine, plows, etc., which with the building and content.-. were valued at ?2,500, partially covered by insurance. Mr. McClcery will order a new cement machine and tools at once. His first job as soon as weather will per mit is the foundation basement and letaining wall for the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Jameson, which is to be built on Eldora avenue. May Lose Her Eyesight. From Saturday's Daily. lesterday Mrs. Jay Vaughn met with a very painful accident and one which may have a very serious out come for her, as it resulted in a sev ere Injury to her right eye. It seems she WaS attempting to chop off the head of a chicken and in so doing a small piece from the head of the axe struck her in the eye, cutting a severe gash. She was taken to Omaha on the 7:15 Missouri Pacific to receive at tention from a specialist in the hopes of saving the eye. PLATTSMOUTH WHOOP 'EH UP FOR THE HOI BASE BALL TEH Those Interested in the Game This Season Met and Kecrganized Last Night. From Saturday's Daily. The season When the base ball fan will move forth from his winter quar ters and prepare to take his scat cn the bleachers and whoop 'er up for the home team is drawing nigh, as was demonstrated last night when the Base Ball association held their fir 4 meeting for the season and organized to get busy for the time when the pi-cat national pastime will be with us. There was quite a good numbrr -i" those interested in the sport, as well as members of the team present .o discuss what v. as needed and to get busy on arranging the preliminaries of the work that will be necessary be fore the season will be stated. One of the chi f matters to be takt a up by the meeting was the selection of a manager of the team for the en suing year and for this position Clam e Smith was unanimously selected, as Manager Johnson, who has had charge of the team for the last few season--, feels that he cannot devote the time that is necessary to the work and that someone else should be selected lo cany on the active management of the team. Mr. Smith has be?n one !' the. mainstays of the t'.am for the last i.wo seasons and by his aid and advice developed the boy.; in several lines cf the game, and with his assuming the position of manager he will be in a position to further advance the wor'.v of the tem. He was a member cf the Frtmc at team cf the Nebraska Si:ue league when they won the pen nttr.t and has splendid abi'ity as a base bait general. The business management of the association wiii remain the same as present, as Thorn. Wa g was eti d as president and H. N. Dove; r-crelarv-ti-easurer of the oganh:e - r:; will he gi.'ca full charge of the base ball park ar.d will see that it is kept in fir.t-c!a.-s shape, where it. can ..1- v.-avs be in the bo-t of conditi ion ivi 0,.e of the phv.i. boys this season i. c.'i tne ba: to have a bail sma'l cU.o nou-e erectrd on the ha-e ball be used for the in changing into .rounds which car i riiri f.se of the tear their un:!o!ms, equipped with and which can be t v o s h o w e r baths r. great cenvenienc? which would be to the me mbers cn th ecal team, as eil as the vi. -iters, as at present they tie com. 'died to come c'e;' r up to the biismcr ; scctio of the citv before the- !c;ii". rl. :"!. :". cnl r'-.il ; " consequence the boys are frequently gteatlv inconvenienced. The cost of :-.ueh a club house would net be great mu would ii n louoteelly be money well sp-riu. In addition to this it is c!e-i-iiid to enlarge the bleachers on the v.e-t side of the bail park and p'aee in front o the bhacners a protecting wire fence tha? would not only add to the safety of the spectators, but al-o keep the excited fans from swarming out onto the grounds during the game anil annoying the players. These mat ters will be taken up at once and every cffoit made to get busy and see if it will not be possible to have the m ready by the opening of the season. In the retirement of Mr. C. S. John son from the management of the team, iie takes wifn him the warmest per sonal regard of all the players, :..s well as the patrons of the game for his long and faithful service to the promotion cf base ball in I'ialtsmou h witnout recompense or reward beyord the success of his team. His excellent judgment and coolness has kept the organization in the best of shape and his absence will be missed, but every one will extend to 'Smithy" their aid in making the team a winner this year. Might Strike (Jas First. From Saturday's Dally. In an interview with one of the oil well men Mondav we were inform ed that the prospects were excellent for oil or gas, and from the present indications gas would be more than likely struck before oil. The well is now down to almost 300 feet and the boys doing, the work are harel at it day and night. To say when oil or gas w ill be founel, would only be guess work, but there will be one thing sure, the Ledger will have a full report t.n the matter from time to time as the work progresses. Ur.ion Ledger. Geo. Hudig came down from Have lock Saturday evening to visit over Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Budig. W. II. Freese Keported Sick. From Saturday's tall. W. II. Freese is among those who have been suffering from illness for the last few days and is now confined to his home on West Vine street by a very severe attack of the grippe and it general breakdown, which has pre vented his being around as usual, and he has been very much missed by his friends and associates. LOOKING FOR BOSCOE BIASCO, WANTED FOR GBBERY IN 0H1AK From Saturday's Pally. A short time ago when LeRoy, the hypnotist, was in this city, he had in his company a young man known as Koscoe Binsco, who was supposed to have a part in the performance cf the art of hypnotism, and the young man, it seems, is desired very much by the Omaha police for the theft of numer ous articles of considerable value from the apartments of Yale Holland, the Missouri Pacific attorney in that city, as well as from Mr. Smalos, one of the employes of the Conservative Loan & Building association. It would seem fiom what can be learned of the nifair that the young man had been employed in the apartment house v here the robbery occurred as a cook and on Thursday had committed the theft of the articles, among which was a very valuable full dress suit belonging to Mr. Holland. The same day Biasco was in this city looking up a number of his friends, but by the time the won! was. sent here yester day the bird had fiown, as when Chief of Tolice Barclay started the search on leceipt of the message from the Omaha authorities the man had made his getaway to more fertile fields. Uolh Mr. Holland and Mr. Smaie were here last evening to assist in seeing if any tiaee of the man could lie found, out without avail. A num ber of ai tides stolen were found in the loom occupied by Biasco Omaha. in JACOB S. WENDELL, PIONEER CITIZEN, PASSES Ally TODAY From Saturday's Dally. Shortly afternoon today Mr. Jacob S. Wendell passed away at his home in this city, where he has lived for many years. IIisieath was due to the infirmities incident to old age, from which he has been failing for the past few weeks. Mr. Wendell was born in New York state on January IW, 1830, and had ju'.t passed his eighty-sixth birthday lie is survived by his wife and two daughter, Mrs. Charles Forbes and Mr?. Belle Cass. .Air. Wendell's face and figure have long been familiar to the citizens of I'lattsmouth, who will miss his genial smile and friendly greeting. lie was for many years em ployed at the Burlington shops, but since his retirement from active labor he has enjoyed the peace and quiet of lis home and the pleasant association .it" his friends and neighbors. By nature a modest and retiring man, he who won a place in the hearts of all who knew him, and in the kind liness which marked his work in life, endeared him to all with whom he c ime in contact. The funeial service will be held at the family residence on Monday after roon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. H. G. McClusky.

The I'lattsmouth followers of the game of basket ball in this city cer tainly were well represented last even ing in the series of games played, both in this city and in Nebraska City and South Omaha. The Young Men's Bible class team of the Methodist church of this city were engaged at the roller skating rink in a contest with the team rep iesenting the Christian Endeavors of Auburn, and in this spirited and ex citing game the bible class boys were the victors over the visitors by a score of 23 to 21. The game was witnessed by cjuite a large crowd and the en thusiasm of the fans was most intense, as the locals scored their win by their splendid playing. The line-up was as follows: Auburn Keyts, right forward; Mostin, left forward; Leeper, center; Aiily, right guard; Sapp, left guard; Howell, substitute. Plattsmouth Carmen, right for ward; C. Dalton, left forward; L. Dal ton, center; Seivers, right gaurd; Wo man, left guard: Schafer, substitute. Field Goals Carmen, 4; C. Dalton, 4; L. Dalton. 3; Ailly, 2; Mostin, 7; Leeper, 1. Free Throws C. Dalton, (i; Keyts, 2; Ailly, 2. The High school boys journeyed down to Nebraska City to meet the High school team there and were de feated in a very close and exciting game by a score of 20 to 15. The lo cals played a splendid game and were handicapped by the fact that the cen ter of the team, Frank Marshall, was not in the game, and this was largely responsible for the defeat, as he has teen very effective in the games this season and a great many cf the plays made were laid around his position, and his absence served to make it necessary for then lays to be shifted by the other members of the line-up. The Plattsmouth team defeated the boys from the Otoe county metropolis when they visited here a few weeks ago, so that they are even now in the matter of games. The boys returned home this morning on the early Mis souri Pacific, and while not winners, were well pleased with the showing they had made in the game. In the game at South Omaha be tween the girls' team of the High school and the girls of the pnckhig house suburb of Omaha, the South Omaha girls were the winners In a rather rough and tumble game by a score of 20 to ". The Plattsmou'h team suffered injury of two of their players, Eva Brintner and Lenoia Snyder, and were compelbed to quit a. t. r , i i;;e eoiieee oe-ioie iu w as luiii iitivu . . . , owing to iris i act. mo game was a very rough one throughout and the girls feel fortunate that more of them were not injured in the contest. JOHN BIURTEV OF ALVD FILES FOfi REPRESENTATIVE This morning a filing was received y County Clerk Libershal from John Murtey of Alvo, who will be a can didate for state representative on the democratic ticket at the primaries on April 18th. Mr. Murtey is one of the prominent democrat? in his .section of the county and engaged in the lumber and grain business in Alvo. whore he is held very highly by the community. If elected to the office of represent ative from Cass county he would be able to fill the position with ability and credit to the county, as he pos sesses all the qualifications necessary for the office anel is a splendid gentle man in every way. This filing about completes . the ticket as far as the democrats are concerned, but as yet no republican has filed for the nom ination for representative on the re publican ticket.
