The boys were tome what put out by the baud at Omaha not putting in an appearance, but the services of the Iioiiemiau band w reengaged and the grand march started about w n o'clock with ex -ictly seventy couples participating i he crowd 111 attendance last even ing was the largest seen at a dance in this city for some time. Several were down from Omaha. Taking everything in consideration the dance was one of the most scccess fnl ones of the season. Discharged Them Andrew lluckley and Lafe How ard, the young men arrested in Antelope county charged with stealing- wheat last February, had their preliminary hearing before Judge Archer yesterday. County Attorney Travis prosecuted, while Mathew Cering defended. After the prosecution had concluded the testimony for the state, which was given by Jasper Clausen and wife and Clausen is a monumental liar, not being able to tell the same story twice, and his wife is not much better Attorney Gering made a motion to have IJuckley discharged. The motion was sus tained and the hearing of Howard went on, but as the evidence failed to prove conclusively that he was the man, he was also discharged. Attorney Cering is not sure just ;tt present, but thinks he will be gin suit against S. Idyll for dam ages caused by the arrest of Ihick- State Leacrue Meetine. The directors of the state base ball league will meet in Hastings this evening to arrange a new schedule and admit the new member, Kearn ey. The best proposition advanced in regard to the change 111 the schedule, and one which will obvi ate the necessities of an entire new schedule, is for Hea trice to plaj' Lin coln's dates, Hastings play Heatrice dates and Kearney to play the dates assigned to Hastings 011 the regular schedule. This arrangement would not interfere with Grand Island's, PLittsmouth's and Fremont's dates. The accession of Kearney, will not increase the mileage material-, but will create a livelj- rivalry be tween the three towns bunched out here. Haskell, late of Grand Island, has been appointed umpire, and will of ficiate in Hastings as soon as the clouds roll bj . The Staid Old Missouri Becomes Raging Torrent. Hie Lincoln Journal says: The erratic Missouri has not made un her mind just what she will do up in the region of Florence lake, but there are signs of her cutting loose and sweeping down through, the out channel of remote ages. If she does, the damage would be tre mendous. As the case now stands the river is higher than it has ever been since the memorable snriiier of 1SS1, when on April LV it reaeh.-d in altitude of twenty-three feet and nine and one-half inches above low water mark. The river is now eleven feet and three inches above low water mark and risinir at the alarming rate of eight inches an hour. At this rate it will le.mire but six or seven hours to briii"- it on a level with the surface of Flor ence lake, in which event lanche of water would rush down this narrow valley :m.i ...... ,,ir :.. v 11- 1111 iia the twinkling of an eve almost the whole surrounding country. AXXIOUS CROWDS WAITI.Mi. Large crowds of excited men and anxious property holders are irath- ered at the threatened point, hreat h- lessly watching the inroads of the current. Separating the extended northern arm of the lake proper and river bank is a space of not more than fifty yards, and this is bein- encroached upon with a veloeity that will not require more than the time above mentioned to turn the raging waters of the river into the channel cut years before the settle mem 01 uie country. The opinion prevailing among the men watch ing the earth-annihilating torrent is that it the rise continues until morn ing the river will inevitablv be plunged through the river Led, in J I. a u t which event me whole country from the original west bank to the main road running north , the railroad bridge will surely be inundated. As it is there is but a shadowy remnant of the old time western river bed bank left, a mere tracery of dwarf willows, reeds and rice stalks.

Of "The Witch," to be presented at the opera house Tuesday. May 17, the dramatic critic of the Xew York Herald said: "I regret to saj- I missed the opening a:t oi "The Witch." But what I saw of it impressed me ver j lavorably. It is an effort which re nects tne 'vreatest credit rn authors, and with a little revision might, I think, be made as worthy in a literary sense as it uiiquestion lbly is Irom a dramatic standpoint. It deals with an intervstiii"- sub Z A 1 - i jen a suojeet winch gives scope tor lioiiesv actnii'-. nictnrpniii tage setting and good writ in"-. The grim old stories of the witch finders of Salem have a historic charm. '.hor my own part, hardened playgoer though I am. I confess I watched each scene with deeo and childlike interest. I entered into every hope and fear of the heroine, 1 trembled when she trembled and rejoiced when she escaped. When a urama lias this effect on a critic it has the right s'.uff in it. "The Witch" may not be perfect, but it is the best work of its kind, by lonr ouas, i have seen in Xew York." This ;is undoubtedly the best at traction ot the season and should be greeted by a packed house. 1 2. 3. A Nice Spring Suit. A Nice Leather Satchel. Two Nice Shirts.
