church nhl night wui oue of the Lest ;
entci tainiiieiits it has been our pl -asure
to attend this year.
The first piece was an instrumental i
one on Hie new pipe organ ny i rui.
Butler, of Omaha. Tin; lovely ton h of j
the handsome new otgr , for winch tue
church and city is indebted solely to the
1'iesbyterian ladies, wis noted with evi
dent pleas ne hy all pi t sent. I he sec
ond number was a chorus ly Missis. 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.

ItFavo sJ H Fairfield.
The following decision from the Inter
lor department settles a long contested
suit in favor of Mr Fairfield, at present
residing in this city.
"In the case of Joseph S. IPaglaud vs.
Joseph II. Fairfield involving the form
ers contest against the hitters homestead
entry for the northeast quarter, sectien 12
township 21, range 54, Sidney Neb.,
wherein the local officers and the com
missioner dismissed Hoagland contest,
Assistant secretary Chandler affirms their
decision and finally dismisses the con
test. The ladies of the M. E. church will hold
a bazaar and yster supper in Rockwood

The Omaha Election.
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.

The Omaha Be says that "the Wino

to Ft. Dodge, la., by the purchase of the
Mason City & Ft Dodge Railway. This
leaves only a gap of a few miles between

will start on January 1 t survey a line
