Dr Humphrey, Dickson, Moore, A V ill Srreight, Chaihs Murphy, John Young, James 1'itlii, and the Mish'S Bertha Wise, Gertie Kt mm y, Etta Shepherd, Green, Moore, and Mrs. Sua AtwowU, Mrs. Artliur Jackson, Mrs. Uodgers and Mrs. C. C. Patinele, with Miss Grant as accompanist on the organ. This was the host uumhcr.of the entire evenings' entertainment and was we I worthy of the hearty applause which it received. The third uuiuher was a vio lin solo by 1'iofessor Waldeinar Deck; it was very good as ks nit of Mr. Becks' woik on the violin. The next on the program was a piece admirably sung by tin; male quartette composed of Messrs Pettee, Humphrey, Dickson ii nd Moore. The audience ap plauded lustily, to wl.i:li th.-v responded with a novel pi nitation melody. Ta; "Green Trcs Whisper Low and j Mibi" was a well rendered solo by Mrs. j Geo. E. Dovey. Mis. Dovey was suITlT- j ing fioui a severe cold, wiiu.h detracted j much from her Uaally strong well round- j ed voice. The sixth number on the program, by Prof. Eutler, was well received; alter the encore which followed, however, he achieved the triumph of the. evening, in his charming rendition of the rain storm making the grand tones of the organ re- i sponsive to the uiott delicate patter oi the rain drops on the roof, as well us the realistic thunder which accompanied it. The recitation of Mrs. Young was do cidcdlv good; it was ii poetic story of the Norselund, full of pathos aid feel ing and was well delivered. Mrs. Kod yers sang a difficult 3.do. with marked i lfect, which with another number by the male quartette, a violin solo by Prob BeCK and a fine piece of instru mental music by Prof Butler, exhausted one of the best musical programs ever listened to by a Piattsmoulh audience. The. Presbyterian ladies deserve special en (lit for their good judgment in select ing a good program and in finding those who could take the different parts with so much credit to theiuselyes.

The Omaha city election took pi' e yesterday and resulted in the defeat of D. IJ. Wheeler, formerly of this city, for the council. The members of the city council elected are Thomas J. Lowry, Peter Elsasser, Richard Burdish, Thomas F. Tuttle, Timothy Conway, Chris Speclit Clarence L Chaffee, Charles E. Brunner and Edwin P. Davis. The significant feature of the whole affair, however, is the fact that although a bitter fight was waged, only 10,988 votes were cast,a falling off of more than one half since the general election a few weeks ago. Mr. Boyds' majority in Omaha at the last election was larger than the entire vote polled yesterday; and yet it was a red hot fight. Mr Boyd may be the next governor of Ne braska but no sane man believes he was so chosen by the legal voters of this great state. An office purchased at the expense of wholesale frauds will not inure much to the honor f the man who succeeds in that way. Subscribe for the Daily Hkhald. It gives all the news V k -nt 1 .
