The convention of the Cas County i

held yesterday all day at the pleas
ant little city of Elmwood and call
ed there many of the members of
this religions faith to participate in
the splendid program that had been
arranged, and from the addresses and
informal conferences a great deal
of good for the church over the
country was accomplished. The
; pleasant weather of the morning per
mitted a large number attending
I from all sections where this faith .
ii is an active church organizat ion, j
altho the delegates and represent;1.-!
tives from the eastern porta to of the
county were compelled to return be-j
fore the evening session owing to the
threatening storm clouds.
At the morning session the mem
bers of the association were wel-
corned by Rev. Hay of the Elmwood

Rev. W. E. Going of Louisville and ,
was followed by the communion to
all of the members present. The
sermon at the opening session was
by Rev. Ray Bradley of Weeping;
Water who spoke on "The Power of I
the Gospel." and was a well delivered
and inspirational address.
During the noon intermission, the
members enjoyed a fine picnic din
ner and the opportunity of having a
social hour with each other, which
added a great deal to the pleasant
ness of the gathering.
At the afternoon session there was'
a short song service and the mem
bers then had the opportunity of
hearing three very pleasing addresses
along the line of the church work.
Rev. Hay, of Elmwood, spoke on j
"Good Citizenship;" Rev. Walter R.
Robb, of Plattsmouth, on "Young,
j People's Work.' and Rev. Goings, of j

Plattsmouth aggregation of baseball
i artists proceeded to establish a new
ratio of 16 to 0, without the con
sent, but with the aid of the Mur
dock basebai. hoys.
The game was much one-sided and
the poor playing of their opponents
was largely responsible for the large
score annexed as there were a num
ber of very costly errors made by the
Murdock learn that allowed the
dwellers along the Platte to sneak
in their scores.
The team that faced the Platts
mouth team was one recruited from
the northern and western part of the i
county and the players were evident
ly unused to playing together to any
extent and those who attended the
game were unable to locate but one
of the Murdock veterans in the line
