THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE IS A GREAT SUCCESS A Very Large Attendance at Public Reception Tendered Teachers Last Evening. lining the manner in which the teach ing of this branch has been developed at the Crete schools. COMING DOWN FROM OMAHA WITH SPE CIAL TRAIN FRIDAY The Cass County Teachers' institute is now started in splendid shape, and each and every one of the 156 teach ers in attendanse is receiving the benefits of the splendid program pre pared for them by the county superin tendent, Miss Eda Marquardt, and which embraces lectures from a num ber of the leading educators and in structors of this part of the west. Prof. G. W. Brown of the Peru Nor mal school is one of the most inter esting of the lecturers, and his ad dress on rural sociology at the after noon period of the institute was cer tainly one that appeals to the teachers to the fullest extent and from which they can gather a great deal of use ful information as to the handling of the rural school problems. Superin tendent Brooks and Miss Marie Kauf mann are also on the list of instruc tors for the institute, and their emi nently successful work in the city schools here allows them to give to the teachers of the country the benefit of their work. Mr. Brooks, who has received a thorough course at Colum bia university in New York City, in the teachers' special training, is one that is thoroughly competent to deal with the problems of the teacher. Miss Kaufmann is one of the ablest instructors in penmanship in the state and her success in this line has made her a most enviable reputation for the advancement of this line of study. Each and every one of the teachers is showing a very wholesome interest in the work of the institute that is very gratifying to the county superintendent. At the afternoon session yesterday, Miss Claire Bookmeyer of the Platts mouth schools, told of the conserva tion of bird life by the school children and the splendid success that had been secured here by the adoption into the public schools of the Audubon teachings of the saving of bird life. Last evening the public reception for the visiting teachers was held at the beautiful Elks' club on North Sixth street, and a large number availed themselves of the opportunity to meet the charming young ladies who are training the boys and girls of the county to become better acquainted. During the evening a very charming and delightful program was given, consisting of two solos by Mr. L. O Minor and Mrs. John W. Falter, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed and very much appreciated by the de lighted auditors. Mrs. E. II. Wescott and Miss Hazel Tuey in a duet, the "Barcarole" from "Tales of Hoffman" proved a rare treat to the music lov ers. Mr. Richard Avard gave a very pleasing clarinet solo during the even ing that was also very much enjoyed During the reception delicious punch and wafers were served, that added very much to the pleasures of the oc casion and made the evening one of of the most thorough enjoyment to all in attendance. This morning at the esssion of the teachers in the high school building, Dr. Hayman of Lincoln lectured on "The Conservation of Vision," and at the afternoon session today. Miss El sie Gapen gave a short talk on "The Crete Plan of Domestic Science," out- Former Plattsmouth people now re siding in Omaha will be here in force on Friday, when "Home Coming" day will be celebrated in a royal manner in this city, and the visitors from the metropolis will have a special train from that city. The committee in charge of the big excursion from the big city is composed of Henry R. Ger ing, C. H. Taylor, W. B. Elster, V. C. Ramsey and Gerald M. Drew. Among those of the former Plattsmouth resi dents who will make the trip will be Byron Clark, solicitor of the Burling ton railroad; General Manager G. W. Holdrege of the Burlington, Hon. Francis E. White, grand secretary of the Masons of Nebraska, and Hon. Jesse L. Root. The special train will leave Omaha at 9:15 Friday morning, and the com mittee will be at the station to see that every one of the home-comers is properly badged and ticketed for the big show at Plattsmouth, and the oc casion is one that will bring back many a pleasant memory to those who still hold Plattsmouth dear as "home" although they are located elsewhere. The Omaha delegation will be swelled by a large number from Lincoln and other towns, all bound for the old town by the river to spend the day. On their arrival here the visitors will take part in the special program that is to be made a part of the day's entertainment, and it can be set down right now that the Omaha boosters will see that it is a red letter occasion in the fall festival. AN AUTO TRAGEDY HAPPENS TO PROM INENT EAGLE FAMILY PROF. E. L. ROUSE OF PERU NORMAL HERE ON FRIDAY Former citv superintendent E. L. Hnusp. now of the Peru normal school will be at the Home Coming and school reunion on Friday, as the folllowing letter received by County Superinten dent Marquardt will show: "p'all City, August 6,VJio. "Miss Eda Marquardt: "I have had many invitations to ue with my old pupils and friends at the. sfh ool nhase of the "Home Coming time. Sorrowfully I have written each that an institute engagement would not permit it. When I found yesterday that Prof. Brown was to be with you I thought, "Why toumn i we swap work." I spoke to him. He is willing and thinks it a good move. I laid the matter before Supt. Weber this morning. He most heartily ap proves. Now are you willing to grant this favor to your old friend who is so anxious to mingle with the boys and girls of other days? . "I promise you I'll jret on my toes' and give you the best speeches I ever made, as many as Brown is down for Friday, I will pay all the extra ex pense we are both too in the change. Trusting you can see your way to do this I am your friend, "E. L. ROUSE." The ofFer of Mr. Rouse has been ac cepted and he will be on deck Friday to join in the sckool picnic.

Another automobile tragedy has been visited upon Cass county, and as a result Hugh Spanhle, a prominent resident of near Eagle, is dead, while his wife and daughter, Lola, are in a very serious condition as the result of the injuries they received. The ac cident occurred at the crossing near rthe Missouri Pacific depot at Eagle at 7:15 yesterday morning, when the westbound passenger train for Lin coln crashed into the car of Mr. Spanhle and resulted in the death of this gentleman. Mr. Spanhle was driving the car at the time of the acident and was thrown thirty feet by the force of the compact, ami when picked up was in a dying condition, but was huried to Lincoln on a special train and taken to the St. Elizabeth hospital, but died before reaching there. The wife and daughter were not thrown from the car, which was pushed by the locomotive some 150 feet down the track, but was not overturned, and the fact that the ladies were in the rear seat of the car accounts for their being saved from instant death, as the locomotive struck the Ford car about half way and demolished the front of the ma chine. The ladies are both suffering very much from the shock of the ac cident and are in serious condition. It is thought that a box car stand ing on the siding shut off the view of the driver of the car of the oncoming train which was coasting into the sta tion, the engineer having shut off steam, and this accounts for the sav ing of any of the members of the party. The Spanhle family reside three miles southeast of Eagle. 5he oh 12vir HOME OF THE UNEQUALED in Brown Bottles and on Draft! Fine Aged Whiskies!
