Freda Lankton of Omaha gave a most
practical nnd helpful talk to the la

earnest, after which Mrs. Churchill
gave an interesting talk on "Home
- Influence."

Convention Notes.
Like a benediction upon the con
vention, wa tho sweet face of the be
loved chieftain. Miss Willard.
Her picturo framed in a garland of
white roses, was a fit selling to the
motto, "For God and home and every
land."
Childhood, youth and old age con
tributed to the success of the conven
tion. What a delightful conferenco the
mothers had."
Some of tho delegates had a beauti
ful moonlight ride home.
A Moonlight Itoat Hide.
With great enthusiasm a large par
ty of representative citizens responded
to the informal invitation of Mr. and
Mrs. D. S. Guild, to accompany them
on tho launcn, v. J. iiryan, ' for a
moonlight ride up the river. The
party wa. conveyed to the boat land
ing on the 0:15 train from Omaha, and
a jolly crowd set sail promptly at 6:30.
The ride up on the wost side of the
river was one long to be remembered.
The banks on either side lined with
dense green foliage, tho hills in the
distance, the whole cnchanccd by the
brilliant setting sun a setting sun
equalled no where save in Nebraska
made indeed an ideal picture.
With refreshments, music, conver
satiuu and tho merry voices of the
little ouos, several happy hours were
whiled away. Homeward bound
on
the opposite side, in the peace and
quiet of thu moonlight, we felt truly.
that for a short space, we had once
me l5en near to nature's heart.

w,.CBJ?QL'ij'hlrd milestone on the
life journey of Mrs. Sarah Wlnslow of
Plattsmouth, who is here visiting her
son and family.
By invitation of Mr. and MrL Win
slow, a few intimate friends, some
the friends for many years, others,
friends more recently acquired, gath
ered to offer greetings and good wishes
to Mrs. Winslow, who has greatly
endeared herself to the people of
Kenesaw by her generosity and un
failing kindness. After a pleasant
hour spent in conversation the guests
were invited to partake of delicious
refreshments prepared by the hostess,
after which they departed to their
homes feeling that the afternoon had
been pleasantly spent.
The aftair was so arranged as to be
a complete surprise to Mrs. Winslow,
but all felt that she appreciated the
loving thoughtfuln.ess of her chil
dren and the generous good will of
her friends in thus remembering her
on her birthday.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Fonger. Mr. and Mrs. Cruse. Mes-
dames Dr. W illiams, E. W. Crane, W.
E. Latta, J. L. Templeton aud Dewey
J. Roberts. The three last named
ladies being former Cass, -county
friends of Mrs. Winslow.
Popalists Stirred Up.
Lincoln populists are somewhat
moved by an innocent little call for
a gathering of populists next Thurs
day to consider the question of the
propriety of sending delegates to the
conference to be held at Nashville, I
Tenn., July 4. The published call
closes in this way: "All populists and
all who prefer a government of the
people to that of either of the old
parties' are cordially invited." The
call is not signed, but prominent
tusionists declare it was issued by
Jerome Shamp and they assert that
Mr. Shamp is anxious to be sent as a
delegate. Among fusionists the Nash
ville meeting is characterized as an
other of Paul Vanderyoort's plans of
defeating fusion in future campaigns.
Reference in the call to "either of the
old parties" is construed to mean the
republican and democratic parties.
No reference fs made in the call to a
fusion party or a popocratic party, but
stress appears to be laid on "govern
ment by the people." As the meeting
is supposed to have the backing of all
populists who are opposed to rule by
the state house ring, a lively time is
expected. Some of the leading mem
bers of the ring say they will not at
tempt to pack the meeting and send
one of their own delegates. They
think of ignoring the gathering and
may treat it with silent contempt.
The meeting will be held at federal
union hall, 1114 O street, at b p. m.

A Pleasant Surprise.
A goodly number of the friends of
Mrs. Luella Jewell, the widowed
daughter of Judge Archer, remem
bering that it was her birthday,
gave her a very complete and pleas
ant surprise Saturday evening, at
the Archer home on Third and Pearl
street. Mrs. Jewell was induced to
come down town that evening, and
in her absence the friends gathered
in bringing some good things with
them, and proceeded to make some ice
cream, and when sue returnea mey
had full possession. The evening was
pleasantly spent, and
at a late hour
the party separated.
A Tng Of War. .
Mike McCool thought he could
pull as much as Bob Gillam's horse,
which weighs 900 pounds. A $25 bet
was aaranged for, and the try was
pulled off a little after noon up near
the Casino. Mike took one end of the
ropo and the horse was fastened to
the other. At the signal the horse
started, Mike leaned back ana the
muscles in his arms fairly creaked,
but it was no go. He held the horse
for three or four minutes, when the
latter got down to its best and -!ked
oft with Mike, rope and all. Mike may
be a "hoss," but he Is not a 900
pounder.

An invitation has been extended to
the members of the Chicago Comedy
Co., who arrived yesterday, coming to
Plattsmouth for the week. This will
be a rare opportunity for the young
folks, being the first moonlight ex
cursion of the season.
Kelly of Pacific Junction was sizing
up the town yesterday and being" bur-
dened with the thirst that is common
to the Junctiomte3, he indulged too
freely at tho oracle of gamer in us, so
that when the shades of night had fal
len he didn't know whether his name
was Jxeiiy or jusi common everyaay
Jones. As he grew boisterous and in
sulted the peace and dignity of the
state of Nebraska, he was taken to the
Hotel Holloway for safo keeping. This
morning Judge Archer charged him
$1 beside his board and keep, for the
liberties he had taken with the good
name of the state, and being without
funds he was sent back to jail to serve
It out.

INFORMATION AND OPINIONS.
An exchange tells of a man's chick
ens that came home,- each with a
thread hanging from its mouth, and
on the end of the thread was a
card bearing the suggestive inscrip
tion: "Please keep ypur chickens at
home." A neighbor's wife had rigged
up the threads with a kernel of corn
at one end and the card at the other.
The chickens ate the corn and carried
the message home
Judge Baker seems' puzzled to know
how to rule In the Bartley matter.
Sweep away the cheap, frivolous tech

one. If the supreme court reverse

and you will not be forgotten.
-
A circus performer down in Kansas
-has just gotten him?elf into trouble.
He had been performing in various
circuses as the "human ostrich," and
to make everything Appear as real as
possible, he would swallow knives,
nails and a lamp chimney or two at
each performance. . Recently at one
of bis performances he swallowed an
unusually large knife, and the weight
of that, together with other hardware,
lay too heavily upon his stomach, and
he decided to consult a physician.
Upon the request of the "ostrich," an
operation was performed, which dis
closed the contents of the stomach.
Knives, nails, glass, etc., wore found
wedged in the linings of the stomach,
and upon their removal the patient
was considered in a fair way to re
cover from the effects of the operation
in a short time. For seventeen years,
he claimed, he had been swallowing
all sorts of hardware, and the physi
cians are of tho opinion that he must
have a wonderful stomach to be able
to digest this kind of "food."
