Reception and Banquet.
The reception and banquet tenderec
the young ladiea of the "Awl-Os" club
by the jouug men of the "Fane San ;
Dire" club in Masonic hall , last evening ,
was as to detail u d particular one ol
the swellest and most charming social
functions ever attempted in our city.
Everything was on u tcale elaborate and
generous , and altogether quite unprece
dented and most engaging.
Carriages called lor and returned to
their homes all the guests of the evening
about thirty in number. Aconi'mittee
of the FrS D. club in full evening attire
escorted the guests from and to the car
riages and welcomed the young ladies to
their function.
No special plans were laid for enter
taining the young ladies , the period be
fore the banquet being utilized in ex
ploiting the social side of life , and the
time following the banquet in tripping
the light fantastic.
The reception-room was decorated with
ferns , palms and flowering potted plants
in profusion , and furnished with every
thing conducive to comfort and appeal
ing to the love of the beautiful. The
ceiling decoration was done iu ribbons
of the "Awl-Os" club colors white and
yellow and throughout all the rooms
and decorations these colors predomi
nated , making a most enchanting effect.
Frappe was served in the reception-room
throughout the evening , Mrs. L'Roy
Allen presiding.
The banquet-hall was also decorated
in white and yellow , and the ladies serv
ing were gowned in white. The tables
were beautifully laid in white and yel
low immaculate napery , daintiest Havi-
land , rare fancy-work and the mellow
beams of electricity making a scene
truly enrapturing. A large and beauti
ful boquet of white carnations and yel
low jonquils ornamented the center of
each table and a flower of each kind was
laid at each lady's plate. The six-course
banquet spread was a gastronomic
dream , and was served by Band 2 of the
Dorcas society with much taste and
cleverness ; it was on a plan unusually
elaborate and stylish. Handsome sou
I venir menu cards were given the guests
After the banquet there were responses
to a number of "toasts. " G. R. Johnson
presiding as toastniaster On the part
of the ladies , Miss Rache Berry , Mis
Hannah Stangland , Miss Selnia Noren
and Miss Maggie Cullen responded ;
while G. B. Berry and I. B Taylor re
plied on behalf of the gentlemen. The
responses were brief and in the nature of
mutual felicitations. After the toasts ,
the hall was cleared and to the inspiring
' those desirous 5
music of Snyder's orchestra
ous indulged in dancing. This orchestra
also played during the entire evening
suitable selections.
A number of owls were among the
decorationswhile the name of the young
ladies' club."Awl-Os , " was done in yel
low on a side wall.
Enfin , the affair was one of the most
notable in McCook's social chronicles ,
and the "without ostentation" boys are
to be warmly felicitated upon its suc
cess ; while the ladies of Band 2 are enti
tled to a meed of praise for their part in
the achievement.

The Famine Sufferers.
The committee appointed to devise
means of raising money for the relief of
the sufferers in India by famine , have
held a number of sessions , this week.
They have canvassed the matter thor
oughly and announce the following
plans , which will be carried into effect
and will doubtless be successful in raising
a number of hundred dollars for the
worthy purpose : A game of base ball
and other sports will be held in Athletic
park on Tuesday , May I5th ; these sports
will be held in the afternoon and will be
in charge of the Athletic club. Dinner
or supper or both will be served down
town on that date ; a committee composed
of the several pastors of the city , with
W. J. Turner as chairman , will look
after this feature. In the evening , light
refreshments will be served in connec
tion with an entertainment of some sort ;
this will be in charge of the young ladies
of the "Awl-Os" club. The committee
deemed it a wise plan to ask the school
children to each earn five cents in some
way and donate it to this relief fund. It
is expected that the Brigade band will
be able to furnish music during the half-
holiday the committee expects to secure.
It is hoped that a half-holiday can be
secured for the Burlington shop-men on
the isth. Let every man , woman and
child lend a willing hand.
A Word From Washington.
A word from W. S. Hanlein of Oak
Harbor , Washington , states : The past jn j
winter has been very mild in this sec
tion ; no cold weather to speak of , even
hard ' frosts were comparatively few.
There has probably been no month dur
ing the fall or winter that farmers could
not have plowed had they desired to do
so. The earliest farm work began here
about March ist. Winter wheat , which
is the principal crop here , is looking
well , some fields being 10 or 12 inches
high at this writing , April igth. The
spring has been all that one could desire :
and the farmers are very busy putting
in their crops.

It is admitted by those wise on the .

safety and that the development of

better road-beds , less dangerous cross-
ngs , better guarded tracks etc. It is

That Utah Line.
Burlington officials deny that their
company intends to build to Salt Lake
City or any Utah point , but the fact re
mains that surveys have been run from
western terminals of the company to
Ogden via Evanston. Whether these
surveys have been run for the Burlington
or for some other company is not known ,
but shrewd railroaders hazard the guess
that if tracks are put down on the line
of surveys the Burlington company will
have more or less to do with the man
agement of the road.
Further than it is
this known that a
party of Burlington surveyors were re
cently sent to a point in Wyoming to
do some work. Other parties have been
at work in Northern Wyoming for some
time , but this is explained by the fact
that the Toluca-Cody City branch will
be built this summer.
Monday's St. Louis Globe-Democrat
contained the following special telegram
from Cheyenne :
"The Burlington will contract in a
few days for the construction of about
300 miles of road from Guernsey , in the
eastern part of the state , to the Elk
mountains coal fields in the southern
central part of Wydming. Despite the
denials of the Burlington officials , the
information comes from a reliable soiirse
that it is the intention of this company
to build to the Pacific coast at once.
The line has been surveyed across Wy
oming to Utah , and this contract will be
followed by the awarding of others. The
road has been completed to within a few
miles of Guernsey. It is stated that an ,
Omaha firm will get the contract for the
300 miles extension. "
Had a Runaway.
Last Friday evening , while driving
flown from Culbertson , to attend the
the Fortnightly's last dance of the sea
son , Charles Knowles and sister. Miss
Nellie , had a narrow escape from injury
in a runaway , between here and that
place. At a well known point on the r
road where the railroad approaches the
highway closely , the team of horses be
came frightened by the approach and
passage of No.5 , running into the barbed
wire fence , breaking the buggy-pole and
knocking , down several rods of fencing.
The animals were finally gotten under
control , a pole was borrowed from a
farmer in the neighborhood , and Mr.
Knowles managed to make the city in
due time. Miss Kuowles came on to
the city in company with friends in the
party.
Sugar Beets.
About 80 acres of sugar beets will be
raised in this neighborhood , this season
for the American Sugar Beet Co. of
Grand Island. The success of this enter-
praise will mean golden things for this
section of Nebraska , as it will at once
place . a premium on Republican valley ai
