The second annual K. of L. masquer ade ball will be iven at the opera house on the evening of Monday, February 11th. A good number of Plattsmouth's young orators have signified their inten tion of attending a debating school which will bo hold tonight at Homing's school house, south of this city. Mrs. J. N. Summers entertained about ton of her lady friends last . night at her home, South Sixth street. The guests epeak highly of that lady's abili ties as an entertainer, and from all ac counts a very pleasant evening was spent. A commercial traveler, who was willing to bet a silk hat, a suit of clothes or anything one might suggest, made the statement to one of our business men yesterday that there were more Jobbers goods sold in St Joe last year than in the four cities, Omaha, Council Bluffs', Atchison and Leayenwortli, combined. The boys have found an excellent skating pond in the bar opposite the de pot. They occasionally light up the place at night by torches and a general good time is had. The youiig ladies arc also freely ipdulgiug in the healthful exercise, and a large crowd who believe their time for skating is limited, can be aeon every night satisfying their desire for exercise. Intead of the regular dancing school which is given iu Fitzgerald's hall on Friday night of each week, tomorrow eight will le observed by those who at tend the tchool and as many who wish to participate, as a niuht for a "enuine good time, when a masquerade ball will be giyen. As the school is generally well attended, the hall tomorrow night will undoubtedly be overcrowded. Any person visiting Omaha and having a little time to spare Peiore tne 6:23 train leaves in the evening, can en joy themselves and spend a half hour or an hour profitably by going to the Y. M. C. A. building and watching the gyt nasium classes. The class from 5 to C in the evening is composed of over 50 . cj a business men and is an interesting sight to a person who never saw anything of the kind. The night operator at the B. & M. depot, who has been exercising his Irauie in a grand effort to become graceful enough to trip the light fantastic cred itably, met with an accident last night, which suddenly checked his step while on practice . He had recently purchased a valuable gold watch, and in his high kicking threw it from his pocket breaking it so badly that it will be of no value to him. One of the representatives of the little green isle across the sea, approached the principal of the high school yester day and prayed for assistance, stating that he was "dead broke." When he was told to apply to the county clerk for assistance he replied: ''You main that coontrvmon of main doon there? I wuz doon to see him an' lie told me if I did not git out of this town h would be after puttin me in jail. Many people are alarmed at a num ber of butchers who are harvesting ice taken from a slop pond which is located at the rear of the business blocks betwecu Third and Fourth streets. It is said that the water is about as filthy as it pos sibly can be, and we are surprised to see uch ice used for any purpose. What use butchers can have for such filthy stuff no one can imagine, and we hope it is not their intention to make the use of it some people believe they will. At the new Grand opera house in Omaha Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday matinee, the Juvenile Opera Co., composed of thirty young artists from 10 to 20 years of age, will be the attraction. Friday night they present " Olivette," Saturdry matinee, "Mikado," and Saturday evening, "The Chimes of Normandy." People who visit Omaha Saturday can have a chance to see the "3fikado" presented in first-class style at the matinee at '2:?0. Next week "Siberia" every night. Mr. White, the farmer who aeconi pank-d Sheriff Eikenbary to Omalit Monday to claim the buffalo robe which was stolen from his place near Bock JJIuffs one night last week, returned by the flrer Tuesday afternoon, apparently taucli pleased because he was in posses sion of his lust robe. The Omaha author ities, wlii had untied the thief, turned him over to Shetifi CJknbary, who brought him to this city for iril. I ats arraigned before Judge Russell wiic pined him $10 and costs. As he was un ..able to j;y the fine he was jailed for ithe length of time required to board it ,out, The fellow gaye his name as Chas. aviate. Boston Symphony Club. Below will be found a program which will bo tendered tonight at Fitzgerald's hall by the Boston Symphony club. Already the ladies of the Y. L. It. It. A. and Presbyterian church, under whose auspices tho concert will be given, have been remarkably successful in selling tickets for the coming concert. This club has appeared before the most cul tured audiences in America, and no lov er s of classical music, and there are a good number in Plattsmouth, should hesitate to take advantage of a3 rare an opportunity to hear music of the finest class.

The news of the death of John M'Con- uilf, superintendent of the Atchison & Nebraska division of the B. & M. rail road company, was received in Lincoln tins morning with profound sorrow, lie died at his residence in this city at 9:30 o'clock lust night. It has been known for several days past that he could not i;ct well, so his death caused no surprise, but deep sorrow was manifest, for he was known and loved throughout the city. He retained consciousness to the last, and passed away surrounded by his t'-iuuly and friends. Tho caus; of his death hemorrhage of the stomach. He leaves a wife, two sons and three daughters. Mr. McConniff was forty-seven years of age, and for over thirty years was engaged in active railway service. It can be truly s:.id that he was ne of the best and most favorably known railroad men in the west. He counted his friends by the score". He was large hearted, public spirited, and his hand was ever ready to aid in the hour of one s extremity or need. During the past oiht years he resided in Lincoln, and wherever known is regarded as an exem plary citizen, and a safe manager of every interest put in his hands. It is though that the interment will take place at Wyuka, but nothing definite will be known until the arrival of his father, who has been summoned from his home at Montreal, Canada. Omaha Bee. Messrs. D. Ilawksworth, Supt. motive power and C. M. Wead, supt. supply department.took their departure for Lin coln this morning to attend the funeral of the deceased official. It has been reported here that the burial occurred this afternoon. Co Around the World- If you wish to be well entertained for an evening, do not miss soin"; to see " Around the World in 80 Days," at the op.wa house next Tuesday night. Those who saw the play last year, the night of the great blizzard, although the atteud ance was small yet everybody was well pleased. They have some elegant Nero scenery, giving a fine spectacular per formance by thirty first class artists, and the Amazon drill by beautiful young ladit's, is alone worth the price of admis sion, besides I have induced them to play at our regular prices, 35, 50 and 75c, and at these prices no one can nfford to miss this performance. Owing to the blizzard last year they had a small house and concluded to give Plattsmouth another trial, although they had been informed tint it was a poor show town. So I trust they will give this company a good house and convince them that the report is not true. Secure your tickets now on sale at 75c. and greatly oblige, Respectfully Yours, J. P. Younc. What Is Most Needed. Nearly every pretentious town in the state not more than half the size of Plattsmouth has furnished itself with all the modern improvements.some of which Plattsmouth i still sadly in need of. The many economical business men of the city, when they know that electric lights can be furnished them at a lower rate than any other illumination, will doubtless: add their name to the first list presented. The incandescent electric light, which can he used to a greater advantage than any oth.r light, will not be as expensive as even ordinary oil lamps, nud 'ts pow.r of illutnin ttion is equivalent to about fifty candles. The great conven ience of these lights a'so makes them more rjesir;ble. They can be so arranged as to light up k h.Je horse in a second, and they requ're no cai-e. if sci..e piju ential interested party would stat out with a subscription list, they would uu- . doubtedly meet with success. j SPE PERSONALS.

Fitzgerald was much sur prised this morning after arising from his slumbers and upon looking in his vest pocket for his watch, to find it miss ing. No other valuables could be found missing. It is supposed a tljef entered the house by a back window, secured the watch and made his escape by the front door, as a key had been left in the lock on the inside. This morning the door was found looked and it is supposed the tramp locked the door from the. outside and carried away the key. The revival meeting at the M.
