The sunshine of yesterday and today was very acceptable. Remember tho Methodist social to be held at the M. K. parsonage tonight. All are invited. A social will le given at Rckwood hall by I he ladies of the Christian thun i on the entiling of Feb. 22. C. II. Parmele fc Co. recently bought ixty-fivc head of steers of II. II. Stout, of Louisville, and are now fuelling them at (!edar Creek. The A. O. U. W., of this city, give a hall in the Weckbach block, Thursday evening of this week. "When men are elected to fill places of trut, they should attend suc meetings and try and represent their peo pie. and not a distillery. The efforts of Sir. J. P. Young to se cure the play, "Hidden Hand." for to nirht will be rewarded with a crowded house. The play is of a very rare cast Hereafter the shop whistle will blow at 5;:;0 a. in. to awaken the hands in good - time. Our readers will take notice and not mistake the whistle for a fire alarm- It will be remembered thai some time ago we made mention of a prize light to occur in the yards. One of the comb.it- ents was John O'Brien, who is built on the pugilistic plan. Yesterday to satisfy his muscular powers he came in contact with a section man. There were several blows exchanged, the section man coming out victorious, and now pugilist O'Brien lias withdrawn from the field as a hard hitter, and expects to leave for another land to end his days in happy bliss. The largest farm in the world is not in the northwest, but in Louisana. It con tains l,5UU,UUi acres ot land, and is owned and operated by a syndicate of northern men. A Kansas man went down to look at it the other day and would have bought it, only the man who owned the eight acre piece on the west wouldn't sell, and the Kansas 'man said when he bought a farm he wanted a farm, not a New England truck patch. A western farmer is never creed v for more land. He only "wants what joins his own." Bur- dette. W. B. Short had a narrow escape from being burned out last night. A fire was started in an up-stairs room; shortly af ter a noise was heard, and on going np stairs thev discovered that a clotli bans ing on a chair near a stove had caught lire and burned. The carpet was also on fire. By throwing on a few buckets of water it was soon extinguished. Luckily the loss was light, not exceeding twenty dollars. Mr. Short carries insur ance, and the loss will doubtless be paid. The announcment that George C. Miln the well known actor and orator will lecture is enough in itself to insure a packed house at Rockwood Hall next Thursday evening. The subject chosen for his lecture is, "Candles and Footlights or, "The Church and The Stage as friendly forces." As Mr. Miln has had both eccel estial and dramatic experience his lecture will undoubtably be interesting. The lecture will be given for the benefit of the Y. W. C. T. U. and tickets may be se cured from the members. Admission has been placed at 35 cents and all should avail themselves of this opportunity to help a good cause and hear one of the brightest speakers that ever graced the pulpit or tho stage. Miss Evelyn v lse entertained an "Old-fashioned euchre" partv at her home on Eighth street, last evening. Tbe invited guests were Misses Anderson, Livingston, Petterson, Latham, Wayman. Fullmer and Sherman, and Messrs. Pat terson, Cutright, Eads, Moore, Hoot, Der rick, G. and E. E. Zimmerman, and B. J. Swindell, of Omaha. The most amusing part of the evening" entertainment was the serving of a cake in which there was a darning needle and a tmall v:'iue cat. Tho lady that drew the cat was destined to a life of single blessedness; the unlucky I drawer of the darning needle was con-1 ..I le mned tokeep the needle irom rusting Aiemncu fy the exclusive use of it.

AN UNOBSERVED LAW. One that Is Violated by Nine-tenths of Cass County Firms A Heavy Penalty. In the ttatutes of Nebraska, chapter Go and sac. 27, is a found law which went in to effect in 1875 and is still in good force but which is not observed by more than one-tenth of the business firms of the county. Not because the law is object- ional, either, but because the business men are not aware of its existance. The merchants of Douglas county have but recently had their attention called to the fact that they were not complying with that provisioa in the the statute and have generally complied with it, and it is generally violated over tue state. Section 27, chapter Go, of the statute, reads: That any association of persons doing business in any county of this statu un der a firm, partnership or corporate name and not incorporated under the laws of this state, shall have recorded in the office of the county clerk of tlie county where the place of business of said asso ciation is located, a certificate signed by each member of such association, show ing, First: The firm, partnership or cor porate name of such association. Second: The general nature of the business there of and the principal place of doing busi- - ma -1 mi II 1 ness; ami, lnira: ine iuu name ana residence of each individual member of such lesociatioii- Sec. 2!. Any person who diall for the space of twenty days fail, neglect, or refuse to comply with any ot the provi sions of this act, shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in any amount not ex ceeding i? 1,000, and any fine so adjudged azainst any member of any association may be collected by execution from the property of such association.. NEBRASKA CITY. Full of Theives- The following special telegram passed through on tho wires last night from tat backwoods village just down the "big muddy" a few mil. Neukaska City, Neb., Jan. 53. Ne braska City is again overrun by sneak theives. Nearly every merchant in the city has reported to the police today a ereater or less loss. The officers run in eighteen tramps last night and eight to day. Composition About a Cat. The following is the composition writ- ten by a small boy on the cat The cat is a curious animal; it has four feet and also four legs. Its head is at one end of its body and its tail is at the other. When it walks its head goes be fore and its tail follows along behind. Its front feet walks before and its hind feet lks along lehnd. It is not good for a cat to tie a bunch of firecrackers to its tail. Cats can climb trees; dogs can t. That is lucky for cats. When a dog gets after them they can climb a tree, where they can sass back without getting hurt. You can't hit a cat. Once I threw a boot and I hit an old rooster. The old rooster he died, but the cat dldu't. Hidden Hand. The greatest street parade ever put on by a hall show was given with the Cora Van Tassel new "Hidden Hand" company.

As yet the threatened war on freight rates 1ms not opened, but the outlook for peace is no more promising than it was at the adjournment of the General Man agers in Chicago last week. A. promi nent W abash official remarked that he was still hopeful, but it was hop ing against hope. The Burlington would be compelled to cut its live stock rate in order to divide the business with the Rock Island, and so soon as that cut was made the Alton would step in and fight for its portion of the divide. The Rock Island would then come do irn, and the the Burlington would retaliate with a cut on other classes. There is no particular change in the fight between the Alton and the Wabash It is quiet at this end. The Chicago Times, in speaking of the war at that end oi tne line, says: "lne auasn lias in no instance, so far as learned, met the rates of the Alton in the Chicago-St. Louis territory. That is, the contracting agents are taking freight pretty much on their own basis of rates, but this is mere guerrilla warfare, and is a scramble, not a fight. In the matter of livestock rates, St. Louis to Chicago, the Alton makes its $ 10-a-car-load rate, the Wabash sticks to $10.50, and give3 its rival the traffic. In Toledo business it is the same. The Al ton reduced the Wabash eastern rates;the latter refused to follow, and the Alton carries the freight. The Wabash has ta ken an qwkward and most unexpected course for its antagonists. It simply ceased fighting, and if its competitors de sire to force down figures their only al ternative is to cut their own rates. Qlo he-De m ocra t. W. E. Cutler for photographs. dlt Caught in tne Cub-Webs. Hoof and Horn. John F. Vallery went down to Platts mouth, Saturday night, to attend a spec ial meeting of the Independent Order of Cob-Webs, for the purpose of initiating C. F. McBeth, in the mysteries of the order, The ceremonies were extended until the "wee hours of the morn." Cob Web hall was elegantly decorated for the occasion, and the boys had a grand pic nic, so says candidate McBeth. The Plattsraouth Glee club rendered a number of choice selections which added addi tional mirth to ths occasion. Gran Spider Smith, Chief Murphy, Grand Mas ter of Ceremonies Pollock, assisted by his able assistants, Phillips, Parmele, Vallery and Grand Arsenal Derrick con f erred the degree as highly as the Fea'h er would allow, considering the feeble condition of the candidate. Grand Med ical Examiner Cook was in attendence to affiliate in case of any accident. After the ceremonies were concluded the mem bers repaired to the banquet hall of the order and did justice to an eleeant spread of refreshments. Mr. McBeth expresses much gratitude for the kind, lenient and cordial treat ment he received, and Cob-Web hall can surely count oh him at all their meetings that it is possible for him to attend. At an adjourned meeting of tbe stock holder of the Citizen's Bank, held Sat urday night, the following officers and directors were eleeted for the ensuing year: C. II. Parmele, president; J. M. j'attersoii, cashier; Jas. PntJcrsop jr.,assi- tant cashier; directors: C. II. Parmele, J. M. Patterson, jr., R. B. Windham, M. 3Iorrisey, A- A. Smith, Fred Gordor. W. E.
