A man who committed a burglary
in Akron, Col., a few weeks ago went to
McCook, Neb., where he thought himself
safe, but a fine diamond rini; which he
wore led the authorities to suspicion him
and a little enquiry led to his arrest and
he was returned to Akron.
The slippery snow was last night the
cause of an accident, in the B. & 31.
yards. An extra freight had been made
up to go west and was just pulling
through the north end of the yards when
a oraKeman slippeil and tell irom a car
to the ground. lie was discovered iiu
mediately and the train was stopped and
the brakemau taken on board and the
train proceeded. "Who the mm was or
how badly he was hurt we were unable
to learn.
Mr. M. McCrosky and wife to-day
celebrated the twentieth anniversary of
of their wedding with Mr. McCrosky's
old school-mate, Wm. Murphy, who liyes
about six miles south of town. Messrs
McCrosky and Murphy were school boys
together, grew up together and were
married on the same day, twenty years
ago, and to-day they met at Mr. Murphy's
home to refresh their memory on past
events and have a pleasant time in hon
or of the occasion.
Both prohibitionists and liquor men
arc awaiting the decision of the supreme
court of the United States on the appeal
case from Iowa with great interest, and
both sides hope to win. The question
practically is, can the brewries snd dis
tilleries be closed and the property rep
resented destroyed in all or part "with
out due process of law." Saloons aie
closed in Iowa without permitting a jury
to pass upon the cases. If this can be
done that ends the liquor business.
Lincoln Neics.
Captain Billingsley, a member of the
Lincoln city council, says that the mem
bers of the council, with the mayor, have
decided to go t Omaha Monday, surren
der themselves to the United States mar
shal, go to jail, and then sue out a writ
of h-ibeas corpus. They think to escape
their fines in that way, or at least they
will test the matter in the highest courts
of the land. It is reported that John
Sheedy was on the streets soliciting aid
from the citizens to pay the fine3 of tl e
memliers of the city council in the event
that it has to be paid. A pron inent
citizen has headed the list with $50. !

The Doll Carnival.
The doll carnival given by the young
ladies of the Presbyterian churh last
evening at the opera house, was largely
attended and was apparently a success,
the sewing circle of the church furnish
ing the supper ofjdoughnuts, coffee nne
milk. Dolls of almost every nationality
were present in goodly numbers, rcpre
senting rich anil poor, anil clown ana
soldier, and even the anarchist doll was
present. Not only dolls were for sale
but all kinds of dolls' playthings, bug
oil-?, cradles, hammocks, trunks, dishes.
etc. Under the chandelier was a pyra
mid decorated with dolls of all sorts and
suspended frsm the chandelier, by the
neck, was a doll, and it being Friday
night everybody called it the anarchist
doll, hung from the gas pipe with which
the bombs of anarchy are made. Along
the front of the hall was a great table
covered with dolls, some of which were
very comic, and attractive on that ac
count, while others were beautiful ana
more costly. A great many of the dolls
were homemade and were really of more
use than others as they would not break.
and all were delighted in looking at the
various fashions of dolls and purchasing
their choice. In the back of the hal
was a candy and nut stand and a table
covered with fancy work and articles.
all of which were useful, and of beauti
ful pattern, and were admired especially
by the ladies. Here also was the supper
table which was quite well patronized.
At intervals selections of instrumental
music were played on the piano and the
evening went pleasantly and smoothly,
everybody enjoying themselyes. One ex
ceedingly interesting feature of the car
nival was the auctioneering of the negro
dolls, or slaves, as they were called by
the vouni; ladies who manufactured
them. These were all eagerly bid for by
the young men, and the highest bidder
usually received the applause of the
spectators.
The pleasure taken in the exhibition
of dolls, by those present, showed plain
ly the ability of the young ladies to pre
pare a successful entertainment and speaks
to their credit. The sale of dolls w.is to
continued at the opera house this after
noon.

"An uproariously funny entertainment is
being given this week at the third Avenue
Theater, under the title of "Our Irish
Visitors." In this piece Messrs. Murray
and Murphy have a valuable propeity if
they continue in the cast, for they both
made hits last night. Mr. Chci. w.

Plattsmoutn Need ElectrlciLlghts-
The subject of electrjeity for lighting
the buiness bouses and streets of Platts
mouth is hardly new to our business men.
It has been agitated at intervals for
the last five years, and especially no
in ths last one, and steps hare been taken
so far in that direction to show that if a
plant wi re established here It would pay
from the start. The citizens of Platts
mouth would appreciate and patronize an
electric light plant, and the business men
know that for clearness of light, lack of
care on their part, there is as yet no arti
ficial light to equal it. There is no
danger of explosion or leakage and an
ignorant person will never blow it out.
All our business men want to sec Platts
lighted by electricity. Not only because
it would be profitable and pleasant for
their business houses to be lighted with
it, but because they arc interested in the
advancement of their city and electric
lights would be a good advertisement for
her. "When we think of Crete and Wahoo
with tlieii 3000 to 4000 population and
Plattsmouth with a population of 8000,
and those cities with electric lights and
Plattsmouth still in darkness. It seems
time for Plattsmouth to make the
improvement. It is not because
it would not pay here nor is
it because business men do not desire it.
It must be because an organization has
never yet been made here with the de
termination of securing an electric plant.
The value of the time it would take for
Plattsmouth citizens to insure success
and secure the coming of an electric light
plant to Plattsmouth ammounts to noth
ing compared with the benefit it brings
when it comes.
