A Men' Social.
A pleasant social event was civen
at the residence of Dr. John Hlack
last Saturday evening, in comment
ration of his 70th birthday, in
which a number of his. gentlemen
friends participated. The reporter
tells us that the evening was soent
rery pleasantly, notwithstanding
the fact there were no ladies pres
ent. It is not thought, however,
that the social was such a pro
nounced success that ladies will
henceforth be entirely excluded
from social gatherings.

one of the attractions of the Decem

to all women, and invaluable to in

the initial water-color, "Ahead of

ill will appreciate, to the Pattern

ungle thing in this solendid
number that would not be regretted
were it omitted. The beautifullv
executed full-page engraving, "The

is especially timely, and a Christ-
mas hymn followed by a profusely
illustrated paper on "Holly, Mistle
toe, and the Yule Log," furnish in
themselves a holiday menu thnt
can hardly be surpassed. "Women

Aeptune' (which gives valuable
and interesting information about
diver9 and how they operate under
water), and the second paper in tlie
series "The Romances of Pre-Colum.
bian Discoveries," are especially
good, and all handsomely illus-
tratea. then there are splendid
stories, and the suggestions about
Christmas gifts will be of great as

Since congress has offered it .
duccmcnts to beet sugar manu
facturers, this industry has grown
very rapidly. Nebraska soil is ad
mirably adapted to beet growing
and, while several factories have
already been established in the
state, there is no reason why the
industry might not be further ex
tended. Cass county possesses ad
vantages for the establishment of
such an industry unexcelled by any
county in the state, and Platts
mouth might easily secure the
location of one of these factories if
the proper exertion were made.
A New Fake.
A few weeks since Washington
county was canvassed by an agent
purporting to represent the "Chic
ago V nolesale Association." His
scheme was to sell the farmers a
certificate entitling him to a mem
bership in the association, for
which he was to pay ?.". This en
titled him to purchase from the
association" any and all goods
wanted at wholesale rates. After u
number of memberships had been
taken it was ascertained that the
affair was a fraud and those hold
ing certificates had been 'duped."
It always payB to buy of those
parties, whom you know are re
sponsible and worthy your patron
age. It might be well to lookout
for the agents as they are still,
operating in the state. A Chicago
writer refers to the matter as fol
lows: r
' The company was "managed" by
George Semuels. It consisted of
buying goods largely on credit
and selling for cash on orders from
tarniers and others in the country.
The Central Trusts and Savimrs
bank secured judgement on a note
ana soia the stock on hand, secur
tug thereby enough to pay court
costs, buij leaving creditors to tlie
amount of $45,000 or thereabout un
provided for.
"The fake is too recent hereabouts
to be certain of results, but they
can hardly be different elsewhere.
In Minnesota where the scheme was
extensively worked, the complaint
is made that the sale of the shareof
stock usually closed the deal, and
the purchaser waa simply out his
$5.00. Goods sent were inferior in
quality and more costlv than the
same grade sold by the retail trade.
It would seem as if people would
learn, in time, that the safest place
to do any kind of business is with
dealers when they know and who
are permanently located vet every
year the traveling sharpers comes
around rnd ropes in any amount of
people."

It is evident that West Virginia does
not intend to be relegated to the back
ground while the narration of snakj
stories is goinjr on, and she relates
through tha medium of a dispatch the
following bouncer: "While- two lumber
men named Me.Cray and Deuera were
felling timber near Cleveland, Webster
county, they cut down a large linn tree
which was literally nlivo with snakes of
a variety never before found in this vi
cinity. They wero brown in color, largo
hi size having yellow jaws, from which
they continuously evicted a slimy mat
terand were exceedingly vicious, at
tacking the men as soon as the tree full.
After killing a large tinmber, MeCray
and Deuers were obliged to retreat. Se
curing assistance, they returned to tha
ipot and a general slaughter took place,
not less than S00 reptiles being killed.
Investigation was then made and from
1,500 to 2,000 eggs were .'uuud in variouj
parts of the tree."

Says a gentleman who attended the re
cent Methodist conference in Washing
ton: "I was amused at tho way in which
a few English delegates conducted them
selves at the hotel. It reminded me of
the story told about Matthew Arnold on
the occasion of his visit to this country.
When at Cleveland he was generously
entertained. One morning his host put
before him at the breakfast tabL, among
other things, buckwheat cakes. For a
long time neither he nor his wife took
any cakes, but noticing that his Ameri
can friends ate them with a great ap
parent relish and gusto, he gingerly took
one on his plate and tasted it very crit
ically. Then leaning over to his wife ha
said, 'You'd better try one, deah, they
ah not 'alf bo nawsty as they look.'

Japanese ClKarettea In China,
During the month of May last the ex

aggregated 552,500, from which it may
be iuferred that tha foreign residents of
China nre beginning to appreciate the

is usually the case with everything ex
ported from this country, the necessity
of keeping rp the quality of the article
ia not appreciated.
Adulteration with leave nf tha Wna

to, with the result of greatly injuring
the reputation which the cigarettes were
