The sociable giyen at the residence of Judge A. N. Sullivan last night, by the ladies of the M. E. church, was a grand success in every way. The lawn was beautifully illuminated by Chinese lanters. The sociable was reported by all who participated to have been the most enjoyable event of the kind this season. The Journal in an item a few days ago came about as near telling the truth as it is accustomed to. It stated that Henry Cooper had been receiving $8 per I month and that within the last few days I the goyernment had raised the pension I to $12. The statement was a false one I as he only recciyed $4 previous to the I advance made bv 2 which only makes him $6. Probably the editor of that pa per was looking forward to the time when Harrison and Morton will be elect ed, knowing that he would be treated right by that government. Another bold attempt was made last night to relieve our county official livine up Washington avenue of some more beefsteak, but notwitstanding the two fellows with mustaches returning from Sullivan's social made a thorough search in and about the cistern and well curb for the expected morsel, thev failed to rind it.

The ring of a telephone bell was heard in a certain office this afternoon and the proprietor answered the ring. lis recognized the gentle voice as that of - I a lady, who inquired for one of the cm- Dloves. As the voun o-entleman wna not in the office at the time, he asked the cnnn.r Wlc if Iip rnidd rt ne enhcti. tute for the young man. Upon learning that it was the other fellow she wanted " he hung'upjthe phone with the promise of J telling his friend as soon as he returned. The young man came, the proprietor de- livered hia messao-ft-.and the voun?ladv was called. The fellow, not taking leap ?n the world and Cleveland and Thur year into consideration, expressed himself man have no show at all. a? follows: "Hello! Is that you Miss f My employer told me you wanted me, Do you?" "Is that you Mr. V I "Yes."' "Why certainly I want you." The young man, who was never found guilty of making a proposal before, after finding it was accepted so readily, heard no more of the conversation, and, judg ing by the bright mile which gathered over his face, his feelings of gratitude for the answer could not bt expressed by words. The young gentleman and lady have not yet interviewed each fcthersine the conversation. Particulars later. From Tuesday's laily. Judge Russell issued a marriage li cense this afternoon to Mr. Andrew Rrab and Miss Paira Price. It is reported there were several on the watch again lust night for another eclipse. "Wonder if they saw it. Work has been commenced on Third street for the laying of a pipe line con necting with the main sewer. Mr. Win. Bach, who was crushed yesterday by falling eaith, is said to be recovering by Dr. Livingston. Dr. Schildknccht removed a tape worm which measured about seventy teet from Mrs. Ottens, of this city, yesterday. A lady who is employed in the coun ty court house has apparently become muddled of late on account of the inter est she has taken in politics. The first congressional district con vention of the prohibition party will be held at Nebraska City July 2G, when a candidate for congress will be nominated. About twenty-five young people from here had a very pleasant time last night at the residence of Mr. J. C. Cummins, who lives a few miles west of the city. A committee waj authorized at the meeting of the school board iast night to take steps towards building a brick school house in South Park. The build ing will only contain one roon 24x32 and is to cost in the neighborhood of $1200. The trouble which arose several times in confirming a city marshal after the ap pointiuenj; by the mayor, was settled, as will be seen by ihc .cu;;ci- proceedings , of last night, by the confirmation of Mr. George r"iba- T'1C vote Bfcoo nve to three in his favor. An enthusiastic republican reviva was held at Wabash last Saturday night, A special train was run from Weeptng Wrater with about two hundred and fifty passengers. Elmwood, South Bend and Ashland were represented in grand style, and in all there were four hundred live republicans who attended the meetin That leaves seven men and two ooys away back in the shade, it seems to us. Mr. Inhelder, ot Cedar Creek, was in the city yasterday, and informed us of the burglary which occurred at that place yesterday morning, between the hours of three and four o'clock. Two men broke in the general store belonging to Mr. Geo. E. Sayles, one of them entering through the transom over the front door and admitting the other tellow by un baring the door from the inside. Sirs. Sayles heard the man drop the bar and informed her husband that some one was in the store. He secured a shot gun and started down stairs to the store, but a? they heard him coining they took to their heels and ned He fired several shots after them and it is not known whether he hit them or not. Mr. Inhelder, who lives a short distance away, heard the shooting and put in appearance just as one of the men was making his escape, and he savs if he had been armed the man never would haye got away. Mr.. Sayles followed the burglars from the store, and as he fired after them when tney wcre running they returned the tire. As they succeeded in reaching the woods their pursuers gave them up for the time. In an article which appeared in the Journal they succeeded, as usual, before finishing the article in reference ic kid napping, to misrepresent the city officials in the matter. Mr. Stultz had seen Sher iff Eikenbary early in the morning and ascertained from him what course he should pursue to secure his boy. Mr. Eikenbary spent the whole forenoon, rendering his services gratis to find out what road the emigrants had taken. lie hitched up his horse and accompanied that gentleman wherever he thought there would be any clue to the lost boy, aud after learning the road they had taken, told that gentleman to follow them aud he would overtake them some- where near Lousisville. He did so and I found them as stated yesterdev. He requested Mr. Eikenbary to accompany him, but as the boy had cone of his own accord, he inferred Mr. Stultz that the law wouia not require him to do so, and i . ..... even 11 "e aul' lje COUKl not ao ,nore tuan anyone else and lie would be work- inS oa h'13 own responsibility.

What s the difference between Bar- num 8 Sreat shov' ani Cleveland and Thuruian ? Barnum has the best show About forty young people from this city drove out to the residence of Mr. Pete Vallery last Saturday night, about J six miles southwest of the city, and en joyed a very pleasant time, dancing un til a late hour. James Windham, son of R. B. Wind ham, met with a very painful accident this morning. While playing on the stairs in the house he fell clown several steps, causing lmu to bite his tongue, al most severing it. Dr. T. P. Livingston was summoned as so n as possible, who stitched the wound so that it is thought he will entirely recover from the injury. The child is nine years of age. The eclipse which was advertised by the papers to take place last Saturday night was postponed until last night for the benefitjof the young people. All the fel lows and their girls watched and admir ed it together. Several were not notified ef the postponement the previous night and watched the moon in its course until :t disappeared. The eclipse was first noticeable about 'J:i0 and made a coin plete job about 1 1 o'clock. This afternoon a party of young people drove out to a grove on Mr. Jake Vallery's farm, about two miles west of the city where they propose to hold a picnic in honor of Mr, Will Hyers, of Lincoln Following we give the names of those who went: Will Hyers, Birdie Houseworth, Chas. Vallery, Manota Eikenbary, Frank Riehey, Anna Heisel, Geo. Palmer, Margaret Vallery, Clif Wcs cott, Clara Palmer. Miss Lelia Thomas entertained a number of her friends at the residence of Mr. A. B. Todd last Saturday night. A very pleasant time was had. The beau tiful evening was taken advantage of by all. and the lawn afforded the guests a favorable resort. Singing and different amusements were indulged in after a bountiful supply pf refreshments had been served. The principal feature of the evening was the rendition of the fac inating song, "Gentle Spring,'' by Mr. Will Streight. It was enjoyed vor much by all who had neyer heard tin song before. Wm. Bach, a boy about 19 years of age, and a nephew of August Bach, grocer c,f this city, who arrived here from Germany about tlnee months ago, was making an excavation at the rear of Mr. Bach's store for the purpose of allowing building fC?,n- antl whi tliS8jtf. severely crushed by a 1'.' chunk of ground from the side falling against him. The accident occurred about 0 o'clock this morning. Dr. Livingston, sr., was called to his aid, and he reports now that the man will soon recover from the in jury, he having received none further than a hard crush against his side, and it is thought he has rteeiyed no internal in juries. From Saturday's Daily. Judge Russell issued a maniage li cense today to Mr. Jones A. Iloggatt and Miss Am. 2nd a E. Nix. Telepiior.; connection has been made today with our sister town, Weeping Water. It will prove serviceable when the county seat is moved. Senator Manderson telegraphs that the committee has reportedjfavorably on the Plattsmouth bridge bill and that it will pass the senate today. We noticed a large crowd in pursuit of Mr. Jas. Donnelly this morning and all secured cigars before taking their depar ture. Upon inquiry of Mr. Donnelly, he refused to give any information but treated us in tne ae way by handing over a cigar. It was learned afterward that the generosity on his part was oc casioned by the appearance of a little girl visitor at hid home. Reports are afloat that in a short time a prominent couple who are each possessed of auburn tresses, a widow and widower are to be ioined in the holy bonds of wedlock. We are not yet prepared to give any further information in the matter, but when the opportune moment arrives, an article will appear giving full particulars ad several words of encouragement to the ambitious couple who were once wrecked and are willing to embark on the matrimotial sea again -The contagious fever which is raging in our midst has taken hold of eighteen more men. It lias readied some ot the B. & M. employes and broke out among them to that extent. They will appear ou the diamond which is located on Fitz's forty this afternoon at 5 o'clock The clerks of the mechanical department vs. the clerks of the supply department. If the bec.se ball fever is not kept sub- dued for some time, tne base ball grounds of the city will not be numerous enough to hold the invalids. The postmaster of La Platte arrived in the city this morning- in pursuit of a young man, stating that he had broken into the postoffiec at that place and robb ed the office of about $21 in money and the value of about as much in five and ten fent stanipg. After ftn investigation of the city he secured the young man he had been pursuing and indulged in quite a lengthy conversation with him. He gave the fellow to understand that it was his intention to haye him arrested, and instead of holding him himself and send ing some one in search of an officer, he left the man to take care of himself and started out to look up an efficer, The man, seeing such a rare opportunity left open for him. took advantage of it as any one would under similar circum stances.. When the postmaster hud secured the rcqtiricd assistance and returned for his man, he discovered to his dissatisfaction that he had coolly broked his promise of remaining until his return, and left for parts unknown. lie was not certain that the man was the guilty party, but the man apparently did not wish a trial n the matter and skip ped to some secluded spot where the police are not to be found, and the pur sued can rest. The Creat Ball Came As large, if not a larger crowd than has been seen upon the bull ground, wit nessed the great game of ball yesterday between the fats and leans. Considera ble money changed hands not less than $."00 and the betters were putting up their money on the tat players with great confidence. Since a druggist was the instigator of the game, we believe it was done as a business scheme, for today the players are purchasing arnica, St. Jacobs Gil, Wi.zard Oil and all chemicals used as remedies for cripples, and have been, a good part of the da', rubbing them selves down. The batteries for the teams an; retired for the day and leaving their business in charge of others. The lean men went to bat first and they succeeded in making a score which is seldom reach by other clubs in nine innings. With that start and encouragement they took the field and held the fat men down to ten runs. After the first inning the fat men held the opposition score down and worked their own score up to about a ti at the last two or three innings. Consid erable excitement was the result of tlu seventh iuning when a fly was knocked into the field and caught by Mr. Riddle of the lean nine which decided the game in their favor. He froze to the ball, and squeezed it with what strength he stil! possessed for fear it might leave him i'j some way. At first he supposed, judg ing from the disappointed expresHoii that overcame his face, that he had missed it. Another expert, one of the fat players by the name of Wm. Neville, stole several bases in grand style. Onci when he made a base hit and was run ning to first, the large straw hat whicl he had on was caught by the wind and blown off. He made for first base, but not being satisfied to tr .vel around tin diamond without a hat, started after ii and had it not been for his contort! ve base stealing he would surely have been put out. Mr. .lames Patterson, win; played right field for the fats, caught a fly which surprised himself and everyone else. Aboijt seven of the lean fellows then took charge ot hun and carried him to the home plate, affording considerable amusement for the spectators. Mr. Weber, of the fat nine, became disabled in the second or third inning and his po sition in center field was filled by C. W. Sherman of the Journal, who did som excellent batting for the heavy nine. The principal feature of the the game was the heavy batting on both sides. Several of the lean men were caught sleeping near some the bases they sup posed they were standing on and put out. Although the fats were defeated by one run, they feci as confident in themselves as ever and are willing although they are all sore today, to play another game whenever their opponents will appear on the field. Some of the men in that club say they are willing to raise $100 for the next game on the victory for their side. We believe the lean players are afraid to try another game, as the7 consider their victory only came about by chance. The following is the score and the number of runs made by innings by each player. There is nothing small about the score: FAT 3. 1 Patterson r f 1 Smith p l Donnelly c 2 Cushing s s 1 Sherman-Weber cf. . 1 Nevihe If 1 4 0 7 10 10 0 100- 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 Derrick 1st b . . . .

The barbers have invited a couple of outsiders into their nine, and with th ir assi.-tHin e will have a very fair club. Mr. Geo. Oliver, of the Journal ollice, and a member ot tie1 fiit nine, and Mr. Ro.-.t-wick, a printer who is pending a few' lays in the city, will assist the printers. It is expected that a good game will bo played ami we are living in hopes that the score will not loom up to Si as it did in yesterday's game. All the citizens an) invited to attend, and it is cxp ted a largo crowd will put in an appearance us no udmision fee will bo charged. Every body go and .see how the printers distrib ute lather.

Smith 1 f liostwick Wi: regret that we overlooked the vol uble democratic stump speech of J. A. Bruso in Saturday evening's .lion'f a3 we would not have that gentlemen think we had not perused it with amusement and curiosity. Does it not occur to Mr. Bruso that he has mi-taken liio impor tance in the matter of our rep!' to tho Journal editorial on the famous cat toon J It would seem that Mr. Bruso is entirely too sensitive for a political cartoonist and that his democracy is entirely too much like the watermelon he mentions "ready to open and work."' The IIi.lt l li will not lie small about the matter; wo are willing to concede thai tne cai'iocn. as a work of "high art" is a rare picturp and that its author ij. capable of greafc things in that line and hope this admis sion will heal any wounds that may have been opened by our reply to Bro. Slier man's editorial mention of the picture. We are pleased however, to see that Mr, Bruso takes a bold stand against free trade, but we are afraid he is in a minor ity in "that great am. g'.'ar.d a. ... -y democrats" which ha. been o:i ever side of every question before the Ameri can people for a quarter of a century, and which is now trying the double horse back feat, on the tariff question. Neither do we see any use in Mr. Bruso stopping at "some of the raw materials,'' which he is going to pt on c'l.e. je to help out the consumer, and think ho is unfortunate as a "revenue reform" ad vocate in his caitoon, i:i .selecting article which he confesses he does not know whether his party has helped him on or not. As leather has been on a low duty schedule always and as the duty was no higher on an average in SJS than it was in '42 and '."iT to those "grand democratic" re-form periods when ":i"e; were cheaper a.id necessaries of lite dc.nc than they are today, i.vnt the cartoon a a little off color anyway? We mean as t democratic argument. Again, ou the cheap foreign labor question we can have no controversy with our arti: t, the republi can party would save him from its com petition, ihe democratic parly would pull his wages down to a level with it !S;ihgio bed" and all and we arc only sorry that Mr. Bruso' political prejudices close h? eyes to the danger he mentions. Finally a.i the brick masons wages are directly in point on the wage question and tho cartoon is not, we adhere to our criticiun of editor Sherman's mention of the great picture and if Mr. Bruso is to persist In his artistic flights we are sorry he ao? clines to wrk on something practical and to the point. Eyn if it be the wages of the mr.n who works in the sewer. We arc pointed by the Journal to those good old days when the Hies were blowing old Jimmy Buchanan Mhilc the solid south democracy was robbing tho government under his nose: when wage were on the pauper scale, and necessaries of life were beyond the reach of working men, as compared with these days of high tariff, and are urged to consider that period of democratic rule as an argument why we should resort to the folly of '."7 and strike down the protective policy of this rich, happy, prosperous nation. By all means let everybody look back as the Journal suggests; its a mighty good idea if there is any danger of the country going back to the democracy of that period.
