A story of love is often a puzzling thing; and this it truly is in a case oi elopement, which occurred on Thursday, and in which two young people of Xebraska City took the leading parts. Walter Palmer and Millie Snow don are the names of the two young people, who have lived in this city for some time, and been regarded generally as quiet a ml through going Miss Snowdon, is a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Isaac Snowdon who live in Kearney, is only about fifteen years old and a student in the first grade of the high school. Young Palmer has been employed for some time at the B. A M. yards, and was on the whole an honest and hard working fellow, He is only about eighteen ears old, however. His parents are aid to live in Plattsmouth from whence lie came some time ago. On Thursday young Miss Snow don told her mother she wished to go over to a friend's house to spend the night. Consent was readily gained and the girl started away from her home without any bag gage whatever. By a preconcerted plan she met young I 'aimer and the guilty pair at once took the after noon train for the south. The next Mrs. Snowdon heard of her daughter was a letter ehe re ceived yesterday from her. In it the thoughtless daughter told how she had eloped with young Palmer, that she loved him, and that they were already united in marriage. They were then iu Missouri, in just what part she did not say; but tjie added that it would be useless to follow her. The letter was a cruel blow to the mother, and ever since she has been prostrated with grief. Millie was her only daughter, nnd it would seem that she had little intention of returning to her home. However, Palmer has small means for taking care of a wife, and the truant children may be expected to return before long and ask forgiveness. Xebraska City Press. Double Birthday Celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Brantner old and respected citizens of Platts inouth, were central figures of a pleasant gathering at their home on North Ninth street Saturday night. The occasion was the cele bration of the 7ith and 07th birth day anniversaries of Mr. and Mrs Brantner, respectively. The affair was planned by the immediate rel ativesof the old couple and success fully executed thus: Mr. B. works daily in the employ of the B. & L, and was, of course, properly dis posed of till evening; but next in order was to dispose of the wife foi the day, so that necessary prepara tions could be made for the recep tion of the guests without her sus picioning anything out of the gen eral order. It was arranged with Mr. Khun Parmele, who, by the way, is the prince of righteous schemers, to have her spend the day with the family of the said prince (V). With much difficulty she was persuaded to leave her household duties for the fatal visit. By the occuirance of divers and sundry unavoidable (?) accidents, and much to the discom fiture of the old lady, Mr. P. did not get her back home again until the late hour of 8 p. m., when, to add to her misfortunes, Mrs. B. found that a large assembly of her neighbors and friends had taken possession of her home. The surprise was so complete that she did not even know the husband beside whom sl.e had met and surmounted the obstacles of a varied life of full three score years. The company, consisting of the resident relatives, neighbors and immediate friends of the family, enjoyed themselves abundantly un til 11 o'lock, when, after prayer by their pastor and many '.congratula tions and good wishes, they departed. On behalf of their posterity, Mr. B. was presented with a handsome suit of clothes and his wife with a fine silk shawl and bonnet. Besides these the guests left many appreci ated tokens. Among those present were: Messrs. and Mesdames A.X.Sulli van, M. Waybright, L. F. Britt. T. Wilkinson, I. Searles, M. Mauzy, II. Matizy, K. Parmele, C. W. Green, S. A. Davis, T. B. Brown, T. P.

Drew, J. W. Brantner and Kdward Brantner. A Bold Robbery.

Keese, that he will on Tuesday, March 2!, make an ap plication to re-open the Boyd Thayer case, which was dismissed last week owing to the non-nppear-nneeof the counsel for Governor Thayer. Governor Thayer stated yesterday that the new step in the great controversy would make no change iu his private plans, "The case has to be continued iu my name," he re marked, "and while Iain as much interested in the final outcome of the proceedings as I ever was, yet I shall not allow it to interfere with my private business. I have abso lutely no desire to again assume the dutiesof the governorship; 'but I do want to see the question which is raised in this case, settled and this is the sole reason for further contesting the matter."

The chairman of the Russian Fa.iiine Relief committee of the United States has sent out the fol lowing appeal, dated Washington, D. C, March, W2: it) uie farmers ol America: The vicissutities oi climate are such iu all countries that not even the most favored can hope for entire immu nity from the losses and distresses they may entail. To-day it is the wretched lot of some, twenty great provinces, of ; middle and southern Russia, hav-1 ing a population equai to nearly one-fourth that of the whole em pire, to suffer the horrors of famine. Fjr successive years their oops were scant, and last year they failed so almost entirely that multitudes are without food other than the re fuse of their neighbors, fields, grain aries, cellars and kitchens, the seed of weeds and the bark of trees ground and mixed with all these. The cattle on which they had de pended lor milk or service, and even their horses, needed as beasts of burden, are slain and consumed as a means of prolonging life until re lief shall conn- trom some ipiarter of the globe. Starvation alone is terrible enough, but the (.nnine in Kussia has been aggravated by a fierceness fcoldr irely known in a Russian winter, while fuel is so scarce lhat in many ca.-cs remnants ot stubble and the thatching of stables, mixed with tut I and dried scrapingsof the barnyard, afford the only means ol warming their hovels and cooking the mi.M'i able pittance ol food thus gathered together. Nor is this all Pestilence, too, has come with all its added terrors. Iluiieiiiig, freezing, anil beset by f. imiue fever, tne poor peasants of Russia demand the world's sym pathy as it has seldom been de manded in all h ii ma ii history. hat is to be doner Kiiropc iu general has been a suf ferer from thedrotiths of '!'l anil has little to spare. But, thank Heaven, America has been blessed as never before. We have millions to sell, mil can a Iso give millions and feel ourselves none the poorer. lias not a good Providence made us stewards ol His bounty for this greatest of all crisis for the salva tion of many millions of our fellow men in the far-away country ol a great and friendly powcr'r lhat America will respond iu a signal manner who can doubt? Al ready the City of Brotheny Love has sent forth one steamship on its errand of mercy, and another will sail from New York in a few days. But still our ships must go in like manner, that the millions of out stretched hands may not wait in vain. The farmers, the gardeners, the fruitgrowers, the dairymen, the stock-growers of the United States, are among the most intelligent and responsive of all our sixty-live mil lions. They can each give a por tion, either in kind or for conver sion into other produce or money, of all that they have so boutitifuIlT received. Will P'cy wait for some miracle, or will they actV Some, thank God, have ncted al ready. The farmers' of Iowa, Min nesota, Xebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, and some other states have moved and are moving. Wheat md rye Hour, kiln-dried cormuenl, cured meats, and canned goods generally are on the way to the sea board. Hut many cargoes will be needed ere the wants oftwenty mil lions are met through all the months until a new harvest. 'Therefore, whatsoever ye would that men should do to vou, do y ou even so unto them." There is no higher, truer, other law. Its fulfill ment by Americans will banish the Ktissiau lamiite and leave it hut a horrid dream. The railway companies have con sented to carry car-loads of famine supplies to the seaboard without charge; the owners of mills and kiln-drying houses at Akron, Ohio, and at Wilmington, Del., are pre paring corn at almost no cost to the donor, and when your gifts are ready, if you have no other preferred medium, application to the Red Cross, 7:i2 Fourteenth Street, Wash ington, will secure printed tags, in required number, that will direct them to places of consignment on the seaboard. Farmers of America; Let your deeds in this day of calamity be tully worthy of yourselves, oi tne matchless riches vou so richly en joy, of this glorious land so happily inneriteii, oi tins our sacreu musr so urgently demanding the glad service of all who love their f ellow men.
