Not long since these young fell

ed such an institution and the
welcome it received, together with
the aggressive and conservative
management made the bank a

without saying. In the mean

A PENNY SHOWER
Uncle Jesse Crook Surprised or
62d Birthday

Uncle Jesse Crook was the VIC
tim of pleasant surprise Satur,
day evening, perpetrated by his
many relatives in this city.
The plans had been arranged
by his daughter, Mrs. J. II. Will
hite, and all had been kept so
quiet that the surprise was COM
plete.
The victim and his wife had
been persuaded to take supper at
the home of their son, w. R.
Crook, and in the meantime sew
eral of the ladies went to his
home and made ready for the
guests. The floral decorations
were confined entirely to wild
flowers, while the house was
lighted with candles in oldfash-
ioned candlesticks.
Shortly after s clock the un-
suspecting ones started for home
and when they reached there, the
surprise which greeted them was
almost too much to bear. After
a time, however, Uncle Jesse got
his bearings and the most pleas
ant evening of his life was the
result. The time was spent in
pleasant reminiscence and sing
ing old time songs, while Uncle
Jesse told mauy of the experiences
of his pioneer life.
AT an opportune time, G.. ].
Crook, in a few remarks. started
the penny shower. Each family
was requested to bring a penny
for each year of their hosts life,
and in the final summing up, it
was found that Uncle Jesse had
about all the pennies in town,
there being 1000 in the pile. The
recipient tried to thank the
guests, but was so overcome that
the happy tears flowed and words
were unnecessary.
A large table had been placed
on the porch and a water melon
feast was much enjoyed.
1t was indeed a pleaeant even
ing and one long to be remem-
bered by the forty relatives pres

FALLS CITY MAKES FINE SHOW

Win Three Out OF Four Games
Played with Horton

games in Hiawatha last week, say
they were by far the best games
played by our boys this sen son.
Everyone played professional ball,
and the large crowd that went
over from this place were we'll re-
paid for their trip.
The following account of Thurs
days game taken from the Hiawa-
tina World. will show you how it
happened,
"The Falls City base ball tossers
came down Thursday afternoon
and went out to the ball park.
The Horton Star soon began to
fall and at the end of the nine
innings of hard base ball playing
they were all down except Harry
Page, who went around the hori-
zon for home run in the ninth,
after it looked like shut out.
Foster, the first man up for Falls
City, got hit, but Poteet who
followed struck into a double,
spelling the chance to score. Par
ker, for Horton, did the beg nning
of the double act by quickly field
ing to Chapple, who doubled to
Page. In their half Horton pop
ped up little fly and Kelsey, the
Irish pitcher for Falls City struck
ont two. Falls City did their
stunt in the second when Sears
got life on Cobbs' error. Foeh
linger put a liner down to first
but Page gobbled it up. Heacock
got fielders choice and then
swiped one with Foehlinger on
third. Kelsey, the Irish slab
artist, saw the pinch and sent
grounder down between short and
second that sounded like the tear
ing of a mile of canvas. Two
dents in the pan showed for the
Brewers and that was all they
needed. Kelsey was clearly the
star for Falls City, striking out
an even dozen Horton players and
winning the game by his ground
hit. Heck for Falls City made a
wonderful catch, nabbing Parker,
who was stealing second, thus
keeping Horton from scoring in
the seventh. Pages homer in the
ninth was the saving feature of the
game, scoring Horizons only run.

Fridays game was equally as
good, but our boys were little
stingy and did not allow Horton
to even look at home plate. The
score for the secoud game was
3 to 0. Horton had fine bunch
of players but were just little
out classed.
EVEREST. FALLS CITY
The game on Tuesday after
noon with Everest and Falls City
as opponents, was about the
worst mixture of good and bad
ball playing our fans have wit
messed in some time. Heacock
pitched winning ball, striking ont
eight men and allowing but four
hits. The twirler for Everest
did not do nearly such good work
but he had the support.
The first and second innings
were good, but in the third Ever.
est succeeded, through a bunch
of errors and a home run, to score
three men and there was nothing
more doing until the seventh,
when by another bunch of errors,
mingled with good display of
boy play on the part of our boys,
Everest added four more to their
credit, making the score 7 to 0.
This stopped the fun for the
visitors as our boys finally decid-

BRATiON A GRAND SUCCESS

liOn Oy Oul oti illd lI1SnerS w dS
even more of a success than that
of last year, and the program
as carried out was greatly en-
ioyed by the large crowd in at.
tendance.
During the forenoon the time
was given to getting ready for
the crowd and enter tanning the
early arrivals.
The afternoon trains brought
hundreds of visitors from sur
rounding towns and at o'clock
the parade formed and marched
up Stone street. 1t was headed
by the marshal of the day, fol-
lowed by the mayor and council
in gally decorated automobiles.
Then came the HiaWatha band
playing their splendid music
throughout the entire line of
march. The floats, Columbia
and Germania, were very pretty.
They were occupied by Mrs.
Conrad Brecht and Mrs. Peter
Kaiser, dressed to represent
each country. The Falls City
band followed and compared
most favorably with the other
in the music furnished. The
members of the Deutsche Ges-
sellschaft made a fine showing,
being there in a body, and were
an important feature in the pa
rade. The kaffee Klatch club,
composed of a number of Ger
man ladies, occupying nicely
decorated float, made a very
pretty picture, while the farm
ers threshing wheat In old time
style, was true to life. Werner
e. Mosiman and George Fall
stead each represented their
business by decorated automo-
oiles. Sigmund Spaeth and his
German band were there, and
the only fault to find with them
was that they did not furnish
more music. John Hossack and
his society for the recovery of
stolen horses, brought up the
rear of the very creditable pa
rade.
The line of march led to the
park where the following pro-
gram was rendered:
National Hymn America
Address of Welcome Mayor Abbey
Observation-Disclosures Bauer
Hiawatha Band
Oration-John Mates, Nebraska City
Overture-'Deutsch Liecter''
Hiawatha Band
Address Hon. A. L. CAN'T

In the evening there was an
other parade consisting of bands
Illuminated floats, automobiles,
etc, and the program fnr the
day closed with a fine display
of fireworks, after which a gen
eral good time was INDUCED in.
The day was huge success,
and those who had the affair in
charge did themselves proud.
NOTES
1t was one OF the largest
crowds Falls City has seen for
years.
Nebraska City was we'll rep
resented.
The Hiawatha band was here
and everyone enjoyed the excel
lent music they furnished.
The street ''takir" was very
much IN evidence, and their
numerous booths and the bark
ing of the 'speelers, gave Stone
street the air of a midway.
AS a marshal, Peter Kaiser
looked very commanding in his
gay uniform.
Everyone was good natured
and caused the police no trouble.
