BUILDING ERECTED
IN PLATTSMOUTH
In the many reminiscences of the
past that hae been give I would
like as an o!d ciiii.cn to add jast
a few line. The Joseph Harper that
Mrs. Valltry mentioned as having a
.-u.rt -n lower Main street was my
; other. The store room now occupied
by August Bach and owned by my
i. -other was the first brick building
built in J'lattsmouth. I came to
PIutt.--mt.uth the "th of March, 1851).
I came across the Missouri river in a
ferry boat, as all the early settlers
were obliged to do in those days. I
made my home for a year or so with
my si-ter. Mrs. E. J. Etheridge. and
then taught school in a building where
Her-y lioeck's building now stands.
A. Ii. Smith and I). II. Wheeler ex
amined me for a certificate, and Ed
? ar Lewis was one of the school board.
1 taught for a few years, among the
.:. is whs a few months of private
-ihool, in which the older Vallery
hildren were pupils. I was then mar
i ied. and have lived continuously in
my home since 18'.o. I think but few
f you can say as much. Have had a
delightful visit out in California with
my son. Roy and family, and am en
joying: the visit with my old friends.

BARNEY MILLER HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL
"Barney" Miller, who for the past
several weeks has been at the Im
manuel hospital in Omaha recovering
from an operation for the removal of
an abscess in his side, returned home
yesterday afternoon. The return of
Mr. Miller will be hailed with the
greatest of pleasure by his many
friends, who have missed him greatly
during his enforced absence. He is
feeling much better since the opera
tion, and while it will be necessary
for him to take a long rest he feels
well pleased that he has been able
to return to his family and friends in
this city.
MIX-UP IN CONCERTS.
Last evening there was an over
abundance of band music at Fourth
-and Main streets when the Burling
ton band and the Brundage company
band both held their concerts, and one
number was completely spoiled by the
bands both playing at the same time.
';The Burlington band had waited for
the show band to start their concert,
and seeing no signs of starting, the
Burlington band opened their concert
with an overture, and had no sooner
.started than the show band proceeded
to open up a loud and fast march that
drowned the soft and pleasing strains
of the overture, and the members of
the local band were fully justified in
b feeling a little sore over the incident.
How to Give Good Advice.
The best way to give good advice is
to set a good example. When others
see how quickly you get over your
cold by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy they are likely to follow your
example. This remedy has been in
use for many years and enjoys an ex
cellent reputation. Obtainable every
where. E. A. Kirkpatrick and wife, two of
the old settlers of the county from
Nehawka are in the city to enjoy the
Home Coming season at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Ruffner and to
meet with their many old friends.

It may ue the tune Fate plays for you,
Is sounded in city halls,
Midst the whirl and din of busy life,
'.'ires, dinners and balls.
--r tune may be played near nature's heart,
Be fdled with wind and rain, '
The lowing of cattle, the song of birds,
And the glint of ripening grain.
What matters the place or time or tune,
Peculiar Fate has willed;

Was thy own place well filled?
MOTHERS.
God knew that his lovliert rose must fade,
And its fragrance be wafted away,
So He fashioned a gift that would changeless stay,
And gave us each A Mother.
A guard for our feet, lest we fail of our work,
A seal to our lips lest we sadden some heart,
And a smile that goes bravely thru war and thru peace,
That's what God gave us in Mother.
Oh, may we be patient and gentle and kind.
Dear Counselor, Guardian, Friend,
And waft up this prayer when the day's at an end,
I thank Thee dear God for my Mother.

WON FIRST BALL
GAME OF T
k cone
I
Red Sox Defeat the Syracuse Team,
By a Score of .1 to 2, in Pres
ence of Fair Crowd.
The opening game of the fall festi
val was held yesterday afternoon at
the Red Sox park, when the Syracuse
team was defeated in a very interest
ing game by the Sox, by the score of
5 to 2. The visitors, who took the
place of Avoca in the series, were de
layed in arriving by the muddy roads,
that made travel by automobile n hard
matter, and it was 4:30 before Um
pire McAndrews of Omaha was able
to call the game and start the show.
The Sox tallied their first run in
the opening stanza of tRe conflict;
Beal, the head of the batting list, was
passed to first by Davis, the veteran
hurler of the visitors, and was ad
vanced to second by a pretty bunt by
Parriott. Herold was walked also, but
was caught at second on a throw of
Cappelle to IKeithley. Rockwell se
cured a safety. Beal, at third, starting
home, was hit by a throw from Cap
pelle while he was playing off the
base, but was 'able to register on the
poke of Rocky. Roben was retired on
a grounder, Keithley to Young, at
first.
In the third the Sox again regis
tered through timely playing and
stick work. Beal was safe at the
opening of the inning on an error by
Young and advanced to second on a
sacrifice by Parriott. Herold was re
tired on a high fly that Cappelle was
able to annex. Rocky then proceeded
to do things to the delivery of Mr.
Davis with a three-sack rap to right
field, on which Beal registered. Roben
retired the side with a fly to the cen
ter garden.
In the sixth there was things doing
for the Sox that made the game look
mighty good to the rooters and fans,
when they lengthened their lead by
two more runs. Will Mason opened
the inning with a fly out to Keithley
at second. Connors was given a walk,
but was tagged at second when Bob
Mason hit to Huff at short; Craig
secured a bingle to the center garden
while Bob Mason advanced to third.
Beal following with a hot one down
through third that scored two runs;
Parriott followed and was retired on a
grounder, Davis to Young.
In the eighth inning the Sox added
another to their list of scores. Con
nors was safe at first when Huff
muffed his drive, and was followed by
Bob Mason, who had a part of his
anatomy in the way of one of Davis'
slants and was given first, but was
retired at second on a throw of Craig's
grounder. Beal followed with a poke
to the pitcher that was too warm to
handle, and on this Connors scored,
while Craig was nailed at the third
sack. Parriott secured a safety to the
left garden and Herold closed the in
ning by striking out.
The seventh allowed the visitors
their lonely two tallies, when an error
and a walk by Bob Mason were luck
ily turned into 'scores by the Otoe
county latfs. Cass was safe when
P
i
)
)
)
Mason dropped his high infield fly,
and Keithley drew a walk. Young
was retired, Connors to Craig. Cap
pele did the dark work that resulted
in their scoring by a timely hit
through third base that was too hot
to handle, ami Case and Keithley reg
istered at the plate. Beezley was re
tired, Roben to Craig.
The lateness of the visitors' arrival
made the game very late and it was
after 0 o'clock before the humble fans
were able to retire homeward to their
beans.
Bob Mason of Ashland did the pitch
ing for the Red Sox during the con
test, and was steady and reliable dur
ing several tight holes when the vis
itors seemed due to score.
Johnny McAndrews was on the job
with the indicator and his work was
caiied out in his usual gilt-edged
manner and was fair and just to both
teams.
In fielding, Parriott, Craig and Beal
were the features.

The fall festival today reached the
proportions of a great success when

ing parades ever given in the city was
staged, and the large number of auto
mobiles participating was especially
pleasing to the committee, who have
labored so long and hard at the ar
langements. The large number of en

pating with decorated cars made the
event a success in every way, and the
cars were decorated very artistically
and a number participating were of
unique and pleasing designs. The

at 10 o'clock, and with Chief of Police
Barclay as marshal of the day, and
beaded by the Burlington band, pro
ceeded north on Third street, and
thence west on Main to Seventh

where the parade disbanded. The cars
participating numbered some seventy
five, and it would really be hard to
adequately describe the many hand
some and attractive designs that were
displayed in the line of the parade.
