THE ELKS
ENTERTAIN
Have Enjoyable Social Time Last
Evening at Club Rooms
The social given last evening by the
Elks at their rooms In the Coates
Block, wa3 a success far beyond the
dreams of the promoters. Despite
the excedingly bad night, the dark,
foggy weather and the muddy condi
tions of the streets there was a very
large attendance and a royal time was
had. Perhaps no social event of like
character ever held In the city meas
ured up with this In point of arrange
ments and management.
From eight to ten In the evening
the assemblage indulged in card play
ing, there being a large number of
tables occupied and a great deal of
amusement had. In addition to the
card playing, there was some very
fine musical numbers arranged up
on the program among others who
delighted the visitors being Prof. H.
S. Austin, the Plattsmouth favorite,
who sang several superb numbers
with telling effect. So much has
been said in the past complimentary
of Prof. Austin's fine voice that fur
ther comment would be needless and
quite superflous. As always In the
past, the splendid singer found it dlf
ficult to obtain release from the
clamorous audience who would seem
ingly never be satisfied. , Miss Ella
Margaret Dovey. also favored the
gathering with some eicellent selec
tlons, being like Pror. Austin, one
of the city's favorites. Like him also
she. found it extremely difficult to
obtain release from the demands of
her audience.
In addition to this program there
was a dainty and refreshing lunch
eon served which was most appo
tlzingly perpared by Mrs. Wm. Me
Cauley. It consisted of oysters, eel
ery, waffles and cakes, all most tooth
some viands. Those who served the
luncheon were Misses Catherine
Dovey, Marie Donnelly, Hallle Par
mele, Lucille Gass, Madeline Minor,
Melon Clark.
After the cards and refroHhments,
the rooms were clenred and dancing
was had until tho midnight hour
there being many couples to indulge
In this delightful pnstlme. The mu
lc for the dance was furnished
by MIhb Tearl Mumm ontheplanoand
was all that could be desired, Miss
Mumm bclnir an accomplished and
flnlnhed musician.
So successful was this social that
It is to be hoped there may be others
given in the future by this delightful
lodge, and that their rooms may be
the scene of many more gatherings of
equal pleasure and delight. Under
favorable weather conditions there
can be no doubt that the attendance
which last evening numbered some
sixty to seventy couples would be
far In excess of those figures.
Pleasant liirtlidny Surprise.
Tuesday night a very pleasant
surprise was given Mrs. Mary E.
Thompson at her home in the south
ern part of the city, many of her
old friends gathering to pay their
respects. The occasion was Mrs.
Thompson's sixty-fourth birthday
and the surprise was a complete one.
The many guests found themselves
most agreeably entertained by their
hostess who soon recovered from her
surprise and proceeded to to make
her callers feel that they were at
home.. The evening was very, pleas
antly spent in visiting and when the
guests came to depart they did so
with genuine regret, wishing their
hostess many recurring anniversaries.
Those attending were Mesdames
R. H. Patton, Seldlitz, O. M. Patton,
R. Hetherlngton, F. E. Denson, Thos.
South, R. Rlchter, Will Toogood, B.
Reynolds, L. E. Vroman, J. O.
Thomas, Coffman, Frank O'Neill, F.
M. Phebus, W. M. Brissey, Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Thompson, Misses Ruth
and Mary Hetherlngton, Trua South,
Messrs. Glen Thompson, R. O. Phe
bus, Qetto and Vernle Seldllts, Win-
nlford Vroman and Ward Patton.

'Henry Huff of Spalding, Neb.,' vras
in the city yesterday, the guest of
Luke L. Wiles, coming down from
Lincoln with that gentleman at the
close of the Red Poll Breeders' meet
ing. Mr. Huff some time since pur
chased a herd of these cattle from
Mr. Wiles and was so pleased with
the result of his purchase that he
came down to invest in another bull
of this breed. He spent yesterday
with Mr. Wiles Inspecting that gen
tleman's fine herd and also made a
trip to the fine stock farm of Henry
Hell who is also a noted breeder of
Red Polls. He looked over Mr. Hell's
herd and Invested in a bull from his
herd. Mr. Huff has the distinction
of-having produced trlpelet calves,
from his animals, these consisting
of a bull and two heifer calves,
really an anomaly in breading. All
of these calves are living and are fine
animals. Mr. Wiles drove him in
from his farm this morning and he
departed forhia home on the early
train. '
' Mm. N'emcti Improved.
Mrs. John Nemetx who was recent
ly operated upon at Omaha, is re
ported to bo getting along very nice
ly at the hospital and there are great
hopes entertained that she will ultl
m&tcly recover. There were several
PlattBmouth visitors at the hospital
yesterday and each one found her to
be full of hope and much encouraged
over her condition. ' The only un
ortunate feature of the matter is that
he will later have to undergo another
and very serious operation. It Is to
bo hoped that she will recover from
this latter operation as easily as she
has conquored the first one. It will
likely be sometime, however, before
the second operation will bo at
tempted.
Mrs. John Golser Is spending the
day In Omaha being a passenger for
that rlty on the early train.
, Death of Mrs. Kink.
Henry Herold this morning was In
receipt of a letter from Mr. King of
Thompson, Mo., announcing the death
of his son, of pneumonia. Mrs, King
will be recalled as having been a res
ident of this city for some six months
while her husband was acting as
manager of the Coates Dry Goods
Company. During her brief residence
here, she had made a large number of
friends who will hoar of her demise
with greatest regret as she was
lady of much culture, refinement and
sociability. Their sympathy is ex
tended to the bereaved husband.
Next Reunion at Wevplng Water.
Colonel P. S. DarncB while at Lin
coin last week attending the meeting
of tho officials of Eastern District of
Nebraska, G. A. R., landed the next
reunion for Weeping Water. As so
many of the officers have always
been please with the reunions held
here It docs not require more than
the asking to get the majority to
come where they can be accommo
dated and entertained. Let's all to
gether make it better than ever, and
entertainment that will appeal to
more of the G. A. R. and not so
much red light and lemonade.

Nebraska Lighting Company Making
Great Improvement at Plant
There should be no more trouble
with the lights in the future at least
so far as the boilers at the lighting
station are concerned. Today Mc-
Maken & Son who have had the con-
cract for Installing the large, new
boiler for the Nebraska Light Com
pany completed their work and the
boiler will be ready for , Immediate
use. This is the largest contract this
firm has undertaken la the city, the
boiler being the largest installed here
and one capable of giving the com
pany all the power required. The
work has been done in the usual ex
cellent manner which this firm does
all its work in, and the company is
thoroughly satisfied. The . work of
the brlckmasons will take several
days longer to complete but so far
as the installation of the boiler is
concerned that Is done.
With this Improvement much of
the trouble recently experienced with
the lights should be done away with
and from now on there should be no
difficulty in keeping the lights up.
With the installation of this boiler,
the company gets Itself prepared
where all that would be required for
a thoroughly complete electric light
plant would be the addition of sev
eral electric machines which would
be placed in if there was sufficient
demand by the public for them.
Last night was a gentle reminder
that the city is still without lights.
Those who braved the intense dark
ness and ventured abroad are quite
vigorous this morning in condemn
ing tho policy which is responsible for
such dark nights as last night was.
The region of darkness Is popularly
supposed to lie beyond the Styx but
If it Is any worse over there than
Plattsmouth on a night like last
night, the human conception of dark
ness Is Indeed blunt.
To Revise Road Tax Law.
Senator Banning yesterday intro
duced into the senate a bill which
will revise the present law govern
ing the payment of road tax. This
bill has been advocated by the Sena
tor's constituents who believe that
it would result ' in better roads
throughout the county than now ex
ists while it would not Increase their
payments. That some such a meas
ure is badly needed especially in the
hilly sections of the county is mani
fest. As matters stand at present,
the sections of this county which
need the road wor.k worst do not get
it. The title of the bill Is as fol
S. F. 130 Provides that road tax
In counties not under township or
ganization shall be payable half in
cash and half in labor and that It
must be spent in the district from
which it is collected..
linn Hand llmlly Cut.
Yesterday while shearing steel at

furtuno to have his right hand se
verely cut. The cut extends across
tho palm and is qulto painful al
though not dangerous. It is so se
vere that the young man will take
an enforced lay off for several days
from his duties.
Visits Sick Folks.
Anton Koubek spent yesterday In
Omaha, looking after some business
matters and visiting with friends.
He took advantage of his trip to
visit the hospital and inquire after
several Plattsmouth patients there.
le found Henry Hcshc much im
proved and getting along nicely,
with every prospect of recovering at
an early date. He also was informed
of the favorable progress of Mrs.
John Nemetz and saw W. L. Street
walking about the veranda of the
hospital, and getting along in nice
shape. He was told that Mrs. Frank
Sivey was progressing really better
than expected and that her condU
tion was quite favorable.
