The Plattsmouth baseball fans who

pitching of Jimmy "Eaton," have

merely an adopted one for the pur
poses of plaving this season and a
handle that could be pronounced

The real name of Jimmy is Kowicz,
and he is a son of the Chicago sand

of good fortune hitting into this city
and where he has become the idol
of the baseball fans of this locality.
Jimmy has shown his stuff and his
playing title will remain "Eaton"
but we give his real and accepted
name that those who knew him back

The July meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce will be on Tuesday
evening, July 31st at S p. m. at the
auditorium of the public library and
the date is announced well iu ad
vance so that those who are desiriotn
of attending can make their plans in
time to be able to be present at the
big community gathering. The date
is three weeks from next Tuesday
and this advance notice will give all
ample time to arrange for their at
tendance. The June meeting was a splendid
one from the point of attendance,
due to the fact that large numbers
of the Burlington employes were
present and while the representatives
of the business men were sadly lack
ing, it is hoped that at the July
meeting there will be both the busi
ness men and the shop employes as
well as the citizenship in general at
the meeting and to enjoy the get to
gether features that brings all into
better relationship.
The Chamber of Commerce is the
mouthpiece of every individual citi
zen as it represents the community
at large and is the civic representa
tive in taking all of the steps for
ward on matters of community in
terest and which should have the
support of the community. The in
terest shown by the Burlington em
ployes haa been, very pleasing to
every resident of the city and is an
example that others? could follow
with profit and - interest to them-1
selves.
There will be other notices of this j
meeting given later but this is the j
first trumpet note announcing the;
meeting and for all residents of the j
city to be in readiness to come out ;
when the date of the meeting arrives
and join in the community" get-together.

tion at Brown park Wednesday after-j

ed by the South Omaha Fourth of'

in the evening.
"The people themselves are to
blame if a minority is enabled to :
elect a president and congress," he'
continued, and urged that all citizens ,
avail themselves of their power toj
vote. "There has been some criticism;
of the government. But it is not the !
fault of the system of our govern-!
ment. Rather is it the weaknc ss of :
the men that fill our governmental
offices."
He named six fundamental prin
ciples upon which the constitution
of the United States is founded and
called the constitution the "great

any times.

ed much conflict, for there is alwavs
a tendency for the federal govern

states. The civil war proved that a

constitution is the fifth great prin

legislative are independent. but
hold each other from too much pow
er. The sixth principle is that of
control of foreign affairs by the

Judge Begley characterized the
drills and physical exhibitions pre
sented by the Omaha and Catholic
Sokol organizations as doing "more
for the upbuilding of the heart, mind
and body of children than anything
else I know."

WEEPING WATER SAFE
The residents of this city were
alarmed Wednesday morning with
the report that the city of Weeping
Water, our neighboring town to the j
south and west, had been badly dam
aged by the severe wind storm, but
this report fortunately proved with
out foundation. The storm there was
very similar to the one here and tore j
up trees and scattered them over the j
city, but no residences were damaged
seriously and the residents were able
to escape serious physical injury. The
damage to the trees and gardens was
uniform over the town of Weeping
Water and made the Fourth an oc- '
casion of trying to get as much of the
damage cleared away as possible.
