BANQUET TUESDAY
NIGHT IN HONOR OF
DEPARTING SOLDIERS
rroiii Saturday's Pailv.
Arangeinents have been nerfectcd
for the giving of a banquet to The
second call for the first draft, which
are to pro to Fort Riley, Kansas,
next Wednesday, from the Missouri
Pacific station. The banquet will
be given Tuesday evening at the
Masonic Hall, at six o'clock, and
will be furnished by the lacMes of
the Red Cross. The commercial
club will furnish the suppers for
the members of the draft, and their
mothers. The invitations will be
sent out in the form cf a special
letter, and will embrace an invita
tion to the member who is to go,
and his mother. To others, the price
will be fifty cents, and any one can
go to this supper. This is a matter
in which it should be the pride of
every patriotic citizen of this city
and county to attend, as it is giving
encouragement to the boys going,
and is an endorsement of their ac
tion. This city appreciates the sac
rifice which they are making, in
going, and had it not have been h
sacrifice for them to go they would
have enlisted before. We have here
an opportunity to do something that
IMattsmouth should do, give these
boys a good send oil, and demon
strate that we are with them not
nlone here but when the time comes
which try men's souls in the ser
vice, they will look back at Old
Plattsmouth, and think, the folks
at home appreciate our efforts, and
are watching for what we are going
lo do.
The Red Cross is demonstrating
t lie proper spirit in doing their
bit in the matter, and when you are
patronizing this supper, you are do
ing double service, as the proceeds
go to assist in the work 'wfjieU , they
have in hand, and which is of good
ly proportions at that.
Watch these columns for further
announcements of the perfection of
the appointments regarding the
banquet.

FIRE CAUSES SOME EXCITEMENT
From Saturday's Dailv.
Last evening the fire alarm caus
ed a ripple of excitement when the
home of Alois Smitana, living In the
second ward, was found to be on
fire. The chimney which passed
from the kitchen, going through the
upper portion of the building had
communicated the fire to a clothes
closet, and from there to the roof.
The department responded in fine
shape to the call, and it was but a
litle time until they were working
in extinguishing the flames. The
loss was considerable, but attended
with the inconvenience of which
always attends a fire. There was
some insurance oil the property, but
owing to the absence of Mr. Smit
ana who is working near Villisca,
Iowa, the amount could not be as
certained. WILL FROST CATCH THE CORN?
From Saturday's Daily.
Well, Nebraska has been very
fortunate in the past, sometimes
there has not been enough water to
satisfy some people, and again some
have thought it too wet, and voted
it "dry". Rut there has been a
saying that it always rains in Ne
braska the day before we have to
have it. Now about the frost, it
will come some of these days. Hut
it will find a crop of corn matured,
and when it conies, will add some
thing to the ripening of the crop.
Of course there will be some corn
that would not ripen no matter how
long the frost stayed away. The
man who planted it did not expect
it to. "In the spring time scatter
your seed and in the fall withhold
not your hand." We will get a har
vest. Do not croak. Nebraska is
all right.
