    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:

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?
If not, drink Grain-O made from
pure grains. A lady writes: "The first
time I made Grain-O I did not like it
but after using it for one week nothing
would induce me to go back to coffee."
It nourishes and feeds the system.
The children can drink it freely with
great beneCt. It is the strengthening
substance of pure grains. Get a pack

directions in making it and you will
