Tho supremacy of the Pleasant Hour clubs
has at different times been disputed by some
what similar organizations. During tho
winter of 188IM nml 1881-5 there flourished
tho "O. N. O." club. The significance of
theso mystic letters was not disclosed nt tho
time, but as tlo association ban ceased to ox
1st no confidence Is violated when the Intelli
gence Is Imparted thnt "O.N.O." meant "our
night out." O. A. Coons was president tho
ilrst year and C. D. Pitcher tho second; W.
E. Hnrdy was secretary and treasurer. Tho
membership ombraced a largo number of tho
younger society people of tho city and the
club enjoyed two successful and gay seasons.
Tho dances were usually held at Temple hall.
From the Thanksgiving menu card of 1683,
recalling a gala occasion at the old Commer
cial hotel, then under tho management of J.
J. Imhoir, tho following list of members is
taken: C. A. Coons, H. B. Newman, Wultor
C. Davis, W. E. Hardy, Uumstend, Nowmon,
Mnyron Wheeler, Meyer, Bell.Wheeler, C.H.

Imhoir. This club disbanded In 1885, when
many of tho members entered tho Plensnnt
Hour club.
Other early clubs wero the Sans Souci,
Entro Nous, etc., nud in tho last ten years
there have been many smaller dancing clubs
which have mot at private residences.
Last season thero wero n number of dancing
societies all of which went through tho win
ter very pleasantly. Among tho clubs may
Iw mentioned tho "Calumet," composed of
young married people; tho "Yorke, "organiz
ed tho yoar previous, whoso membership
comprised u largo number of prominent
young people, and tho"Comus," nlsosupport
ed by tho younger element.
In tho last flvo years there Imvo been In
numerable social, literary, and art clubs
which havo contributed materially to tho so
cial enjoyment of tho city. It is imposslblo
in an nrticlo of this kind to make individual
montion of nil theso organizations. Sufllco It
to say that thoy havo reflected credit on tho
city and havo been tho means of much pleas
uro and profit to their members nud hnvo

annual of recent date, which was pronounced
ono of tho most elaborate assemblies ever
Riven in the state. The Charity Ball has now
become nn established Institution nud in it
will always centre widespread Interest. It Is
unnecessary to dwell on other events of tho

SUCH hns been tho history of the
laundry business In Lincoln for tei
years past that It has not beon alto

conduct successfully, but money Is easily
made nt It when Interested parties are fully

smallest point to tho most Imjiortant. His
connection In tho laundry business dates
back to 1870 since which time ho has acted in
nearly overy capacity of the laundry work

He is thoroughly posted on tho very best
methods of treating garments while being
cleansed and tho most approved manner of
finishing them after thoy leave tho tub. Ho
superintends lu person every part of tho
work and allows nothing to go out that does
not nppeur satisfactory to his critical eyo.
By the abovo It will bo soon thnt the llrm

favor. Their post success warrants u bright
future and thoy resjjectfully ask your
