THE BOYS" SURPRISED. XV. I. Pickett Plans a Sunrise for His Jeiitlemeii Friends. Wre fnvltrd to Ills Home to KuJoy the Novelty of a "Stag" Party, but They Were Interrupted By the I'utliuely Arrival of Tlitir Wives -An Enjoyable KvenlriK Wa Spent, Notwithstanding From Wednesday's Daily. In the absence' of his good wif W. Ij. I'ickett determined to hold high carnival and entertain for an evening only the "boys." Now these "boys,' by tho way, are all good boys and pood husband-, and most of Ihera fathers, as well, arul when at homo are the nio.-t peaceable, latnb-iiko "deers" that ever blessed a family hearth. But boys will oe boys, you know, even when they bavo grown into manhood, and at times long to get back into groon pas tures of youth, kiek up their heels and have a "time" and that is just what they went for last night. Not thinking it ncces-ary to do much (ixing up, any old ehirt would do. i.nljr tho boys would be there, so what's the difference but to their great surprise and "joy " hero was a d: Hi re nee i diflonco so great as to change the color and course of the evening's events. No sooner had the "jl y good fellows" thrown off tho lties that bind" a. 'id fettled down with bro id .-mile for a night's revel when, bles thi'ir dear, kind hearts, the wives, with that ever watehlul care and ar.xiety for their lords, and with a f.-nr that they might have grown weary so long away from their own firesides, broke in upon thern most unceremon iously. And then came some real act ing. Of cou-Ke the husbands were deliglr.i d, although they did not say r-o, wop ds being inadiquato to express 111 -ir delight. Hut their faces were wreathed in smiles, showing their heartfelt thaiiks for so timely a deliv erance from evil. Their whoio affnir was pronounced. capital and the ladies were awarded. the palm. The entertainment that followed was a big success. After spirited card play ing came music and recitations, then a most excellent repast. Messrs. Cole man and Uialt gave a number of musi cal selections, as did Mr. A. C. IIe!p. The feature of the evening, however, was the recitatior.s delivered by Asa Jajo Wiliard, tho young actor, now in the city getting. up a play for the pub lic library. "Mr. Drown Gets His Hair Cut" was said to be one of the most clever things ever heard in riattsmouth. The following well Known people made up this most unique party: Messrs. and Mesiames (J. M. Spurlock, W. B. ELster, Will Clement, F. J.Mor gan, I). C. Morgan, F. W. I.ehnhotT, T. 1 1. Pollock, T. II. Kwing, C. C. l'ar mele, V. A. Murphy, E. W. Cook and Messrs. I). S. (iuild, A. K. Gass, Byron Clark, Asa Loo Wiliard and A. C. Ilel ps. K.ll,UOAl tYOltlv HOOM1NG All Linen In Nrbraxk are Making Great Improvement). Speaking of the improvements which tho Burlington and other wostern lines are making in Neb a?ka, the Ouiaha News says: 'Railroad building and improvement in the west has surpassed that of the east, and it is to the west the eastern money loaners look to place their in vestments with a view of receiving satisfactory returns. During tho past ten d:i3"s one of th-3 largest single rail road contracts in tho history of tho country was let, that of the Sherman Hill tunnel by the Uuion ' acific. Iload building in the west is not confined to any one railroad, as all of them are do ing their share, "Among the big improvements made in the west during the p ist few months is that of the Burlington. Aside from the Alliance branch,- "yb.ich is uow under construction, the Burlington has about completed laying new eteel rails of heavy weight, between Omaha and Lai'la te. As soon as this piece ;f work is U. no tho steel gang will be moved to South Omaha, wherj new steel rails will bo put in from South Omaha to Lo rfiold, a portion of tho steel gang already being" on the ground. "The Burlington is also beginning to rebuild the 1 ranch running from La Tiatto to Fort Crcok, which wiil bj completed during the summer. '()a the heels of these improve ments comes the report that the JJui lington has arranged to let the con tract for the construction of a road from Guernsey to tho Wyoming-Utah stat line. "This centract will mean tho building of between 00 and 300 miles cf roadbed. "After tho state lino his been reached it ii expected that the road will mako a bee line for Salt Lake City. No verification can be had of this venture at Burlington headquar ters, but those in position to know say that there is co doubt of its authnti citv." Don Coffee Agree With You?
