CITY CORDIALS.
The district court opened this morn
ing. Judge Field, of Lincoln, presiding.
The V. J. S. C. E. will meet at 7 p.
in. this evening, instead of 7:20 as for
merly. The funeral of Grace Hart, the little
girl who died of diphtheria last Friday
night, occurred yesterday afternoon.
There was quite a large attendance.
One more case of diphtheria was re
ported here today, the vicitm being a
Mr. Green who resides on Seventh street,
Wtwcen I Vail and Granite. His age is
thirty years.
The city council may meet tonight.
Several of the members have lieen on the
nick li.st fir some time, which has occas
ioned the scarcity of councillors at the
regular meetings.
Messrs. S. Waugh and D. A. Camp
bell, who took in the excursion to Ala
bama a couple of weeks ago, are expected
home temorrow, according to a recent
letter received from Mr. Waugh.
The ladies aid society of the M. E.
church will meet at the home of Mrs. W.
li. Alexander, corner Sixth and Marble
streets, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
A good attendance is desired.
The following cases were assigned
to the district court. For Monday:
Covcrdale vs. Ilurhydt and Patt"n vs.
Eikcnbary. For Tuesday: T. B. Gordon
vs. Polk & Co veil and T. B. Goldon vs.
J. S. 3Iatbews.
The school board has decided to keep
the schools closed until after holidays.
Although diphtheria is kept under con
trol pretty well anil it is much on the
decline, it is not considered safe to open
the schools yet.
Pete Riley and Rudwlph Sanson, the
two boys who were arrested and jailed
last Saturday morning for stealing a box
of tobacco from the B. & M. depot, were
tried before Judge Russell this morning.
Each boy was fined $1 and costs, amount
ing to f 3 in all for each. The fines were
paid.
The finest display in the line of New
Year cards yet received in this city, can
be seen at this office. We trust that the
young men who intend returning the
calls made by their young lady friends
last year will select their cards early and
allow U3 time for printing them.
Samples can be seen at this office and
orders taken any time between now and
New Year.
A team belonging to Mr. George
Poisall, which was being worked this
morning in filling up a ditch at the rear
of Peterson's butcher shop, was driven
too near the edge and allowed to fall in.
The horses pulled in a scraper which
was attached to them. Great difficulty
was experienced in saving the horses,but
through tne strenuous efforts of several
bystanders, they were extricated without
receiving much injury.
Mr. Eugene Foote and wife, of whom
the Omaha Herald spoke yesterday as
narrowly escaping death last Friday night,
being chloroformed by a burglar who
entered tbej house of Mrs. Huff, Omaha,
where they were visiting, passed through
the city this morning by the K. C. Mr.
Foote is an engineer and is said to be the
"luckiest unlucky man that bas ever
rode an engine." Seven times he has
had the side rods on his engines broken
and as many times faced death.
We have as yet failed to see any
manifestation brought about by a pcti
tion which was circulated through the
city several weeks ago, numerously
signed, praying the city council to fill up
the cess pools which can be found open
along the public highway. At first we
-were under the impression that such a re
quest would surely move the council and
prompt them to a sense of their duty.
Those ditches to which we make reference
contain enough filth to poison the atmos
phere for a mile or more and contain
germs of the most deadly diseases, such
us diphtheria, (which is now raging in
our midst) thyphoid fever and others
which are liable to break out should this
matter not receive the prompt attention
of the authorities. The refuse from the
canning factories, gas factory, and of the
city, has been dumped into this stagnant
water, which will, in the spring, throw
out a deadly stench. The medical fra
ternity will sanction the statement that
diphtheria arises from nothing more than
filth and bail drainage, and that unless
those boles are filled up and the a'mos
phere made pure once more, it will be
almost i Hi possible to check this deadly
rpidemic now upon us. As the city
fathers meet this evening thi mattei
Humid bs taken in hand and effective
work Immediately done. It is the re
piest of iiuof tJh'zens. and for the safety
4.A fell, tlte prayer tLul4 bo heeded.

--Y'-sterclay morning Mr. Arch Cole
nan received a good scare when he real
ized Lis experience of the night before.
A. sleeps in a room with his brother
Charles at their home in the western part
of the city, and when he left the store of
Mr. Carruth quite late and went home,
he wci.t immediately to his room and
noticing a form in bed which he supposed
to be his brother, he quietly undressed
and crept into bed. When he awoke the
following morning he found himself
done r.nd wondered why his brother had
quietly stolen away. Charles returned
home in the morning about nine o'clock
and tb i fir.t salute was: "Where did
you "go this morning after stealing
away e quietly?' They were all startled
to learn that he had lodged at the Riddle
house the night before, and his younger
brother was then scared when he remem
bered that he had slept with some one, he
knew not who. At first, they supposed
a burglar had occupied the same bed.but
no v;vl tables were discovered missing,
and tLe-y are all wondering and suspect
ing everything.
Have you been in to see Warrick's

Pat Muldoon's entertainment last
nisht was far above the average, and
fully worth the price of admission, and
to which the most fastidious could not
find exception. The band gave some fine
music, and was the best ever heard here.
The company includes several well known
people who received a hearty reception,
and the company deserved the applause
received. Especial mention must be
mad? of Billy McAllister, who is a great
favorite here; also the Williams and the
Da vn-port Bros. The music hall was
full and the audience went away well
pleased. Bridceton (N. J.) Tribune.

Newton Beers and his company
played "Lost in London" last Saturday
night to a fair hoise considering the in
clemency of the weather. The main at
tractions of the company were North
Britain Pan Pipe Singers, the man with
many voices and the beautiful scenery,
which could not be excelled. Mr.'IIarry
Gilfoil, the man with many voices, was
a very amusing feature and he was called
back a dozen times or. more., the sing
ing which was introduced during the
play, was very sweet and apoarently
thoroughly enioyed by the entire
aud.'ence.
Pat Muldoon's Irish Comedy Com
pany played to a very larjje audience at

nature was presented. We do not believe
in lauding snide shows and will not, but
when a company is deserving of praise
they ought to have it, and such is the
case with this company. We recommend
them to the fun-loving people wherever
they go, and can assure them a hearty
welcome should they return to Sedalia,
and they will be greeted with a crowded
house. Thanks, Manager Wood, for this
entertainment. Sedalia, (Mo.) Press.
