NEW YEAR'S NEWS
Various Social Events During " the
Fast Two Days,
TUXEDO CLUB'S GRAND BALL.
A Fitting Finale to the Old Tear at Wat
erman flail New Tear's Eve A Trio
of Wedding, and Other Hap
penings Around Town.
Unquestionably the crowning event
of the current social season was tbt
New Year'3 ball given under the aus
pices of Plattsmouth's premier musical
organization, the Tuxedo Maridolii
club, at Waterman hall Tuesday nicbt.
Perhaps at no time in local history
has there been a more brilliant assem
blage of f air women and brave men"
than that which worshipped at the
shrine of Terpsichore on this occasion
and followed with well timed step the
excellently selected and exquisitely ex
ecuted music.
Custom has accorded to the daugh
ters of Eve certaio inalienable prerog
atives which co exist only with the
years divicible by four. Every one
knows what these rights and privilges
are, and in consequence, when the
court house clock proclaimed the birth
of the new year, it was conceded as a
matter of course that the ladies should
assume charge of the program.
This tbey proceeded to do in a mau
ner which would have done credit to
"the new woman,'?and indicated that
they would be in a position to give the
gentlemen lessons in gallantry before
the expiration of the year.
The gentlemen were allowed - to se
lect partners for ten of the dances,
while the ladies' privileges were lim
ited to eight. The latter, however,
intend to get even for this discrimina
tion by giving a party or their own in
the near future, at which time then
will be but one "gentleman's choice."
About thirty-five couples partici
pated in the good cheer of the occa
sion, a number of whom were from
abroad, as will be seen by the follow
ing list of those present.

Worlds Fitly Spoken. '
President Cleveland in his annual
message said: "There cannot be any
just apprehension that the American
people will be satisfied with less than
an honest payment of our public obli
gations in the recognized money of the
world."
La3t week Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, when commenting upon this
part of this message says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, used the following plain,
forcible and truthful language: "What
is the recognized money of the worl"?
The world does not issue money. The
only recognized money is the money of
nations, and the money of one nation
is not money in another. Our duty is
to pay our obligations according to con
tract." Richard W, Hart, bishop of the
Mormon church at Salt Lake City has
expressed himself a recent interview
that the church will at once take up
the practice ot polygamy when Utah
has been admitted as a state, on Janu
ary 4. He says"There are in Utah five
of our people to one gentile and in 13
of the 21 counties there is not a single
man of any other faith than our own.
With two exceptions there will not be
a sheriff in Utah who is not of our
number. You ask if plural marriage
have been abandoned. That ordinance
was of God and as one of bis command
ments must be obeyed. President
Woodruff, bv divine instructions, sus
pended it but did not repeal it. In
statehood when we are free from
federal interference, the temple will
witness the colonization of marriage
rites that have heretofore been sus
pended. The penitentiary will no more
be filled with men for obeying God's
law. Those who have endured per
secution for having plural wives and
raising up children to the Lord have
provided for their own all these years
and hereafter their sacred family ties
will be renewed' In view of the
above declarations is it any wonder
that the territory of Utah went for the
republicans last fall?
