THE BROTHERHOOD BALL.
It Proved an Event Complete In
Every Particular.
Wednesday evening Stone Ballast
lodge of the B. of L. F., gave their sec
ond annual ball in the Waterman opera
house, which was a grand success. To
make the hall attractive and still live
within lodge (railroad) emblems and c ol
ors a very successful effort was made. On
the stage, painted natural size, on canva-j
hung a locomotive, the headlight glaring
so plainly and every part so perfect,
even to the escaping steam, that it looked
real and was greatly admired.
The Bohemian orchestra which fur
nished the music for the evening were
seated immediately in front of the loco
motive. Over the stage hung fifty-four
lanterns giving out red, blue and green
lights, aud these were arranged to form
the word "welcome", which lent greatly
to the originality of the decorations. On
the center of the stage stood the charter
of the lodge with a pick on one side and
a shovel on the other, ' and glaring out
from each side of the stage were head
lights which were taken from B. & M.
II. K. engines. The gas fixtures extend
ing from the balcony were each decorat
ed with a red and green lantern, and
strips of red and green bunting were
draped from the center chandelier to the
four corners of the hall; from one of the
strips, extending over the front of the
hall, hung a blue banner with the letters
"P. C. S. I." in the corners, and the in
scription "B. of L. F. Stone Ballast Lodge,
FNe. on it. The balcony was draped
in red bunting, which on one side bore
the inscription "Stone Ballast Lodge, No.
32S'' and across on the other side was
"Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen."
Under the two boxes were the letters
"B. ol L. F. No. 328" and "P. C." on one
side and "S. I." on the other.
The programme f t wenty-six dances
opened with the grand march at 9:20
and continued until 12 when supper was
called. The supper was furnished by
the ladies of the St. Luke's Guild, aud
was complete in every respect, adding
greatly to the evening's success. From
supper dancing continued till 3 a. in.
The attendance was large and everybody
enjoyed the evening, quite a number
being spectators from the gallery. One
pleasant feature of the evening, and one
which pleased the guests, was the pre
senting of a beautiful button-hole boquet
to each guest as he entered the hall, and
another feature of the evening which was
novel and original was the ringing of a
Car bell to announce the time for each
dance, and was followed immediately by
the music from the orchestra.
The success of the evening was equal
to all expectations and the efforts of the
boys to please and attract will be remem
bered to their advantage till the timo of
their next entertainment.
It might be well just here, and not out
of place, to explain the name
of the Plattsmouth lodge, "Stone
Ballast". As we understand it the title is
derived from the manner of the buib'
mg the B. & M. road near Plattsmouth.
especially between here and Oreapolis.
that is, with stone ballast. This stone
ballast is the broken rock of which the
road bed is mostly made, and which
makes it substantial and lasting, hence
the name.
C&ke Ornamentation-
A few years ago cake ornamentation
was a very simple affair, but now it has
come to b3 a fine art. The most exquis
itivc designs are seen, but in this
article we shall aim to discuss inex
pensive styles and those that can be used
by the non-professional.
Cut from writing paper (unruled J
flowers and leaves. Dip them in white
of egg not frothed, and then sprinkle
with granulated sugar. It is best to use
a sifter. Allow them to dry and then
arrange on top of cake. Very pretty.
I;e your cake on top and sides and
when nearly dry, stick in blanched al
monds with points upwards, large raisins,
and lav here and there thin strips of fig.
This called the rustic cake, and is very
beautiful.
A cake iced with either white or pink
icing and English walnuts placed here
and there on the top is a pretty styh .
Slices of orange also look well.
Try covering the top layer with a thin
coat of icing and then sprinkle it with
crushed rock candy, pink and white.
A bunch of crystalized grapes look
charming, laid on top of a cake. The
grapes are to be dipped in frothed white
of egg and then dusted with sugar and
allowed to dry.
A small boquet of choice cut flowers
be placed in the centre of a cake, the
ends being concealed in the open space.
Nothing can be prettier than to have a
cake iced top and sides and covered
thickly with cocoanut prepared on a re
volving grater. It resembles fine curly
shavings. No words can convey to you
an idea of the delicate beauty of th's do-
sign.

HERALD, PLATIfotTTK,
CONTEMPT COSTS CASH
Tne Lincoln City Council Fin ed by
Judgo Brewer.
There was a great crowd congregated
in the court room at Omaha Wednesday
morning to hear the decision of Judge
Brewer and Dundy in the celebrated
Lincoln contempt case. Inside the rail
ing were assembled almost the entire bar
ot the c ity, tog tlier with a host of legal
representatives from Lincoln, while the
c ity council of the latter city occupied
the chairs ou the juror'B bench. The
court room proper was packed with an
interesting throng of spectators, while
the aisled uud corridors were packed with
those uuubln to obtain seats.
Judge Brewer's decision was very long
and speaking of the council and passing
the tines, or tcutoncc, he said:
They are gentlemen of character and
position. Tin y represent the second city
in this state, as I am advised, in wealth,
in population aud in business. They are
the council of the capital city of the
state. If the court should say that men
occupying so high a position can disie
gard the process of the courts, what may
we expect from men having no such
backing of position, respectability and
influence? Can w ask the poor friend
less man to obey the process of the courts
if nit-n occupying positions such as these
gentlemen do, ilo not? Am I not com
pelled by the very fact of the respectabil
ity of the gentlemen, of the position that
they hold, to impose such a fine as shall
be a lesson, not merely a punishment to
them, but a lesson to all.
Three of these gentlemen voted
against taking up these matters. Mr.
Briscoe, Mr. Burks and Mr. Cooper. The
lines imposed on them will be $50 each
The mayor had no vote, but was en
joined from appointing an officer; he
had nothing to do with the removing of
the petitioner. After that removal was
accomplished, although the mandate for
bade him io make an appointment, I
can well see how one, might say that here
is a vacancy of ofhee not by my action, I
cannot leave the city of Lincoln without
a police iudjre. and so acted. The same
tine will be imposed upon him. Upon
the other eiht the fine that will be im
posed will be $G00 upon each one. The
order will be that they pay this fine and
the cost of the proceeding and stand
committed to the custody of the marshal
until it is paid.
Judge Dunday followed and in a terse
and decisive way concurred in the pin
ion of Judge Brewer.
A summary of the determination of the
court is that Mayor A. J. Sawyer, Coun
cilman J hn M. Burks. Joseph Z. Briscoe
and Joseph Cooper pay a fine of $30 each
and that Councilman L. W. Billingsley,
L. C. Pace, Robert B. Graham. F. A.
Hovey, Granville Ensign, John Fraas,
II. II. Dean and John Dailey pay a fine
o? ?C00 eae.h. and be remanded to the
custody of the United Stats marshal un
til the same is paid.
Four Dollars In Cold.
Leo Scbebcn, the agent for W. J.
Lemp's western brewery, of St Louis,
Mo., arrived in Omaha Wednesday, and
produced a curiosity which has been
a marvel to the bankers of that city. "It
is a coin of gold sligthly smaller and
linhti-r than the fiva-dollar piece, fash
ioned into a wcd-simulated imitation of
United States money. In weight it is
one-fifth less than the half-eagle, the
milling and minting being excellently
done, the features on the Goddess of
Liberty in beauty and clearness greatly
exceeding those of the five-dollar piece.
On the Liberty side there is a combina
tion of stars and letters around the edge,
one of the letters being between two stars
and reading in consecutive order, 'G. C .
G. G. S. 7. C. 7. C. It. A. M. On this
side tho coin bears the date of 1879. On
the reverie, the principal feature is a
itar, on which are stamped the words,
one Stella. '400 cents.' Surrounding the
star is the? Latin words 'E Pluribus
Unum, Deo est Gloria., There is no
knowledge of a four-dollar gold piece in
United States money, this one bears the
impiiut of the United States mint in
every feature. It i3 claimed, however,
thai in '7S seventeen of these coines were
struck off and one of these got into Mr.
Scheben's posession. He has already
been offered $100 for the curiosity." Bee.
The doll carnival to be held at the
opera house this evening bids fair to
eclipse anything of the kind ever held
in Plattsmouth. The ladies are hard at
work arranging and decorating the hall
in the most tasteful manner. Besides
the dolls there will be coffee, milk,
doughtuuts and popcorn for sale while
the ladies sewing society of the church
will have a table with many useful and
ornamental articles which will he sold at
reasonable prices. An admission fee of
ten cents will be charged at the door and
everybody is invited to come and help
the Sunday school.
While passing up or down Main
street you will be well repaid for the
time it takes to look at the Xmas and
New Year cards displayed only to-day
and to-morrow in Phil Young's show
window and comprising the finest line
ever seen in Plattsmouth, and only a
pinall part of the stock displayed in the
store.

He Wants Out.
One of the prisoners confined in the
county jail, Herman Strate, who was put
under $200 bonds at Louisville several
weeks ago to keep the peace, and being
unable to givo it was placed in jail here,
is very anxious to get out. He i.s a
strong built man and calls himself "Sul
livan" and apparantly is notexactly right
in his mind at times, having mad, or at
least pretended to make two attempts at
his life since being in jail, and has been
seen to Htnke the bars with his fist as if
to break them.
Wednesday night he got up u scheme
and attempted to execute it to make his
escape. When Jailor Malick entered the
ail that evening to lock tho prisoners in
thor cells for the night he glanced at the
wash-stand in the corroder, of which he
has always been suspicious since the
break for liberty make last summer, and
noticed the door stood open about two
inches and he could see a shirt which ap-
parenuy naci some one in it Put it was
toodaik to distinguish whose it ;vns,
But Mr. Malick with his usual coolness,
locked the other prisoners in their cells
and then walked to the stand pulled his
revolver and called the man. Immedi
ately "Sullivan" came out of his conceal
ment in a fit of anger at his discovery
and declared he wanted to die and called
for poison, but Jailor Malick shut him
in his cell to let him cool down
The plan to escape was about as well
made as could be, "Sullivan" having re
moved his boots and coat so that he
could slip up on Mr. Malick without any
noise and seize or strike him, and his
boots were strapped together and every
thing was ready for a hasty departure,
bu' the cubby-hole under the wash stand
was too small to conceal and the jailor's
eye was too watchful to be deceived and
"Sullivan" remains a prisoner.
The Cop's Hard Life.
"A policeman's life is not a healthy one,"
said ono of tho lynx eyed, sadly, "and tho
sound men on tho force arc few, verv few.
When I first went ou I was a3 healthy as a
man could be, Lut 1 can t run two blocks
now without being windod. Tho causes are
many exposure, to all kinds of weather,
over exertion and irregular hours. I know
many of the men who would wish they had
kept oft tho force, but when a man oneo gets
settled it is hard work to do anything else.
Ho is like a soldier, a mere machine, and
only fit to obey orders. I know there are
lots of fun made of the poelcr, and there must
be duffers on every force, but the majority
are good mi and try to do their duty. But
it is a hard life, and u man who does not
break down must be made of iron. Buffalo
