Walter Palmer and Millie Snowdon a 15 Year-old Daughter of Isaac Snowdon, are the Cullty Pair. A story of love is often a puzzling thing; and this it truly is in a case o. elopement, which occurred on Thursday, and in which two young people of Nebraska 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 and throughgoing iMiss 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. & M. yards, and was on the whole an honest and hard working fellow, He is only about eighteen years old, however. His parents are 8aid to live in Plattsmouth from whence he came some time ago. On Thursday younir 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 Palmer 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 she 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 in Missouri, in just what part she did not say; but she 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, and it would seem that she had little intention of returning to her home. However, Palmer has small means for taking care of a wite, ana tne truant children may be expected to return before long and ask forgiveness. Nebraska City Press.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Brantner, old and respected citizens of Platts mouth, were central figures of a pleasant gathering at their home on North Ninth street Saturday night. The occasion was the cele bration of the 74th and 67th birth day anniversaries of Mr. and Mrs Brantner, respectively. The affair was planned by the immediate rel atives of the old couple and success fully executed thus: Mr. B. works daily in the employ of the B. & M., and was, of course, properly dis posea ot 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. Elam Parmele, who, by the way is the prince of righteous schemers, to have her spend the day with the family of the said prince (?). With much difficulty she was persuaded to leave her household ' duties for the fatal visit. By the occurrance 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 S 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 sLe 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 Jcongratula- 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 tokene. '-' ..
