Journal Want-Ad Fay I NEHAWKAITES WELCOME THE SOLDIER BOYS ON LAST FRIDAY. CLOSING DAY OF THEIR EXCELLENT CHAUTAUQUA. THOUSAND PEOPLE TURN OUT Ar.d Little City Was Alive with En thusiasm Eanquet' Served A General Good Time. from Monday's Iat'.r. Patriotic Nehawka. the little city i:i the southern part of Cass counry that has sent bo many of her noble sons out to do battle for humanity, on last Friday, the closing day of her sueeessf ul week of Chautauqua. made a special effort to the end of extending a jolly, royal welcome to the boys who were the defenders of their rountrv. Despite the large number of young men from the vicinity that went out to right in the name of God and for freedom, none were killed, wounded or missing. Tis fact alone makes the townspeople doubly grateful and j is a record seldom equaled where so! many men have gone out. The program of welcome was a n i elaborate one with music and enter tainment of various kinds. The prin cipal address of welcome was made by E. M; Pollard, in which he lol l how well pleased he, himseif and all the citizens of th. touu and sur rtmnding country were at the return ui ue uoys v. no only a few short 'short months ago went bravely i . forlh tu do or to die' His address was. receired with cheers. I'. . 1 IldllliiS, UU LIUL it MIDI I 111I1V ago returned from overseas made an address telling of how the boys' had been cared for and speaking at some length on the great precaution the government takes to safeguerd their health. Walter J. W'underlich was next to speak, he also having just J returned from the battle front and he spoke with experience as to the conditions there, the modern moae of warfare, and what is now being done in the active life of a soldier; how he is taught to utilize his spare time in healthful sports and recrea tion. Mrs Al Norris. one of the mothers who has given two sons, welcomed home her own and other boys of the community with a feei- ing of real gratitude at their return uife and sound. The wholesouled. patriotic people of this little city deserve the com mendation of al' for the excellent welcome home celebration they pro vided Jhe boys on the closing day cf their Chautauqua. Iooks like this and the entertainment provided at Cedar Creek a couple of weeks ago would oner a suggestion to some of the larger towns in Cass county to do st n.ething in this respect. SUFFERS STROKE OF PARALYSIS. From Monday's Dally. Joseph Droege. who Is receiving treatment for his health at the Ne braska state hospital at Lincoln, where he has been for some time, had the misfortune to suffer a slight stroke of paralysis a few days ago. Whie the stroke was rot se vere, it has incapacitated him from caring for himself. It is not thot the stroke will be of serious nature, on acconr.t of its lightness. RETURNS FROM THE WEST.

TEST MACHINERY OPERATING One Ten Ton Unit Now In Place And Ready For Demonstration and Resting. From Wednesday's Daily. The new building which is to be forty feet in width, and one hund red and seventy-five feet in length, will be two stories, with a driveway in the rear of the building for the carrying in of the product. The unit which is in place in the build ing across the way from where the new mill is to be located, shows the workings of the machinery and plans. There is but one ten ton unit now but in the plant which is to be constructed across the street there will be ten. The machine which is now constructed and in stalled is being tested, and is work ing to a perfection. We observed j the workings and the products as they came from the mill. The pro- . . . .... j ctuct shows mat all the products are maue oy cuiung ana me Knives and discs, positively cut tht sterns but have separated prior the leaves, thus preventing the reduction of the leaves to dust, which would result in much loss, and fs the practice pursued by many mills, thus making in their product much dust which is entirely eliminated by the pro cess which is used in this mill. The large rotary fan which draws a draft of &ir through the cutter draws off the dust, thus taking away dut and other particles which would otherwise make the product inferior. The condensing machines, w-hich reduce the product to a much smaller space, which enables the more economical shipment and use. has also jn apparatus for the mixing by machinery of molasses, which insures a thorough and even distribution of this addition. Much different than where mixed by hand. The work at the machine shops pre paring and testing the equipment for the new mill is progressing, and will be in readiness as soon as the building it?elf shall have beeri Dieted. FOURTH OF JULY BALL GAMES. From Wednesday's Daily. The games which are to be play ed here on the Fourth of July be tween the Holmes. White Sox team and the Red Sox of this city, will be called respectively at 10:00 in the morning and again at 3:00 in the afternoon. A pretty good hunch is out that Carl Stimson will be tfie pitcher which the Plattsmruith team will have to play against. Mr. Stimson is an excellent pitch er and also an excellent young man and the team here know about what they have to go up against. Who the Red Sox will have is not definitely known at this time. . The Sunday Game. The game for next Sunday has been arranged between the Red Sox, who will play six men against a picked nine from the teams of the Burlington shops league, and as there is a handicap, we may look for a pretty closely contested game. JULY FOURTH FLAG DAY. From Wednesday's Daily. There are ten especial flag days In the year, six of which have been celebrated this year and the seventh on July 4tlk. is here day after to morrow. Let every patriotic citi zen get the folds of "Old Glory" floating from the portals of their home. This the birthday of this nation, should be remembered by all in this land. Whether that one has as yet become a citizen or not. Have him observe the nation's birthday, and inculcate some pat riotism and lov of country by the time when he shall become a citi zen. The real patriotic American, will need no admonition in this re gard, for. he" will be alive to the oc- casion and its meaning ! LOCAL TEAM LOST A GOOD GAME OF BALL ERRORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MUCH OF THE LOSS. VISIT ORS PLAY GOOD BALL. OUR BOYS WERE SHUT OUT Joseph Adams New Pitcher, Makes ixooa. we .Have xen Fly Eall Oats. rrom Mi nday's Daiiv. The Nebraska I'owtr Co.. a clean bunch of good bull players, were with us yesterday, played good ball, acted like gentlemen, and won the game, notwithstanding our boys in general put up a good game. We made some costly error, and allowed two runs to follow, which had not the errors occurred, would probably have placed the tally one for the visitors to our nothing. The new pitcher struck out the first man. while the second Kemmy went out on a fly, ad McAndrews their third baseman was caught cn first by Janda. With us Heal was given a wlk on balls, while Christy made a sac rifice hit. giving Ural second. Grado- ville grounded and went out on first, while Real made third. Her- old to bat. went out on a fly with Ileal at third, which was as near as the Red Sox made a run. In the eighth inning iseal was at third, making two times, then Gradoville and . Adams were each at second. while Grassmau. landa, Herold. Christy and Real were at first. With the visitors, they did not get a look in until in the. third inning, when Norgaard went out on a fly. 'Mad den got a single and went to sec end on a strike of Wolf, to third on a single of Kemmy. and scored on a two base hit of McAndrews. On a two base hit of Mougensen, Madden tallied and also Kemmy. caused by an error by a bunch of our fielders with a fly. later o:i a two ha-e hit by Christensen. McAndrews also was accorded a run, making in this inning three, and all that was made. The second and third bases were filed, but Swanscn was fanned by Adams and the inning was over. Adams of the Red Sox struck out eight men. while Madden of the Power company struck out ten. Adams did not have a walk, while Madden had two. Real and Herold. Six hits were mane off their pitch er. Six hits were made by the mem bers of the PlattFmouth team, they being. Real. Adams' Grassman. Christy, Gradovilie and Janda. Three two ba hits were mde off Adams of the Red Sox. all bunch ed, and by McAndrews, Mougensen and Christensen. They were in a way accountable for the three rui.s which the visitors received. While the errors which crept in our part of the game was no doubt the real cause of the loss thereof, the game was a pretty good one. and some one had to lose, the man who was on the winning side smiled. while the one on the wrong d. ' was not so well pleased. The re- suit by innings was: Red Sox 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rower Co.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 03 NEBRASKA CITY TO CELEBRATE FRIDAY From Monday's Daily.
