Cobweb Hall.
l lie Cobwebs balls were greeted by a
large number of sweepers and was one el
the finest events of the season. The mem
bers were well drilled and organized.
Hardly a single mistake occurred. Mr.
James Patterson, who had charge of the
um, did nobly, and stuck closely to his
department. Mr. Bert Pollack, who had
charge of the music box, displayed great
skill in the crank act. Fred Murphy,
who had control of the sweet dough, fill
-?d his place to the Queen's taste, and
from the way he picked the icing off the
cakes one could readily see he was an
Artist in that department. Messrs. Liv
ingston, Pollock and Derrick represented
the Dago stand, or in other words manip
ulated the fruits, which was executedin
t splendid manner, especially the dates,
that is (the future dates). Mr. Geo
Vass had charge of the aqua pura, and
one would think he was president of the
Plattsmouth Water Works. The only
mistake was he did not make enough
difference between ice water and cold
vater. George Chatburn aud Will Cham
bers were busily engaged catching mos
paitos and guats as they became entang
led in the mammouth cobweb, whicl
ipecifications were drawn up by the gnat
i.-atcher. Dr. E. W. Cook, who dispensed
the bitters, and we are confident tho
.vere not recommended only in extreme
ases of languor. In conclusion will say
ur only mistake, which was in theintei
..st of the members, was that of passing
the finger bowl, whicl. was rushed by T,
!I. Phillips; but the mistake occurred by
he rehearse! of one of our members,
which words he was to repeat, "The
jltfOe Hangs High," and by his loud re
tersel the hint was takeu and the bowl
.vas on its winding way. But the end
vvas not yet. Wishing you a happy new-
year aud hoping the files will become en-
Unjled iu the cobwebs already spun, we
r.-main yours four years hence.

lIlGII SCHOOL. -OTEO. ' V
Monday morning . found the ieachqrs
all at their posts of duty, looking happy
and cheerful as if their week's ' vacation
had not been misspent. -
. . . -
The attendance. was above th; average-
scholars coming in for th weekly re-"
view before examination, which com
mences next Mynday.
.. v '.a.'
The school ground is a bheet afvtee in
front of the building. As to its solidity,
enquire of Mr. Chatburu.
New pupils to the am't of nearly 20
have reported since vacation, and in
creasing each morning. What to do with
them is bothering Professor Drumond,
but he is generally equal to any emergen
cy that may arise, which proves to -all
concerned that he is the right man in the
place, and his peer can t be found in the
state.
The majority of new pupils are in the
lower trades aud tho.e .are the rooms
that are most crowded. '
Room No. 1 has seats for 42 pupils and
had in attendance this morning 51 pupils.
Where do they all sit, is a question-which
can only be answered by calling and seer
ing for yourself.
There has been quite a little contention
among the teachers as to who would
have one of 'tho new pupils. Latest re
ports say that No. 12 is likely to carry off
the banner, but it is. contested by both
rooms 10 and 11. The pupil's preference
is to bo a member of room 10.
In my experience as a teacher I never
have as yet seen a better-conduc ted ami
more efficient school than is lotind in.
room No 3, which proves beyond a doubt.
that Miss is the proper teacher for
our primary grade.
Room No. 13 is entitled to the banner
as to a tidy school room, good order and
regularity. In its proceedings it is one
of tho best conducted sc.hools in the city,
which shows sbat Mr. Chatburn is a first
class teacher.

"Streets of New York"
. To-morrow evening the real life play,
Streets of New York" will be presented
at the opera house. The company pre
senting the play is well equipped for" it
and meets with full houses and receives
much favorable comment. The New
York lleiuhl of June 8th speaks as fol
lows:
That old time melodrama, "The Streets
of New York," with a real fire engine,
lots of red sparks, innumerable supers in
red shirts and theatrical looks and ar
ious other things, was presented at the
Jrand Opera llonse last evening arm suc
ceeded in deeply interesting a large audi
nee iu the lower part of the house and
thrilling a much larger in the gallery. To
ay that the gallery was filled would be
drawing it mildly. It was packed, and
a hen its occupants were not engaged in
tpplauding the manly deeds of the hero
md the virtues of the heroine they spent
their time in loudly hissing the villain
Though many of the '"supers ' forgot to
ippear cold during the snowstorm, the
ludience was made to forget these little
things by the acting of George C. Boni
face as Tom Badger, who is all that could
oe desired in the part, and makes it go
with a vim quite refreshing in these days
of self-styled stars.
Mt- Pleasant-
Miss Delia Carroll went to Omaha Sat
urday, where she will spend a week vis
iting friends.
Mr. McClure. who has been in the wild
west for a number of years, is among his
friends at Mt. Pleasant again.
The Christmas tree at the M. E. church
was a grand success, the literary exer-
.ises were especially attractive.
Henry Winslow went out to Kenesaw
Tuesday to take a '"bird's eye view" of
his new farm and the surrounding coun
try.
Mt. Pleasant can boast of two wed-
ungs during the holidays. Una we
hink is doing well for a small towu.
The conttracting parties are Mr. Geo. Mc-
Ueynolds to Miss Nannie Alford, and Mr.
loht. Hoffman to Mus Liliie Calkins.

A Chautauqua reading circ le'was organ-
:ed last fall in the neighborhood of Jse-
Ic.iwka, which meets every other week.
The young folks taking up the course of
reading find it both pleasant and profita
ble. We know of no better way for the
young people of a neighborhood to spend
the long winter evenings than to follow
iome perscribed course of reading similar
to the Chautauqua course. It brings
with it both intellectual growth and so
cial enjovments. Why can not Mt. Pleas
ant young people do likewise i There is
plenty of talent here. Dim Star.
