Atwood, by Mrs. Atwood and Mrs.Stoutenborough, in honor of Mrs. Towner and Mrs. Judre Keysor, two of Omaha's most brilliant and popular club women. Ninety-six ladies were in vited and but few regrets were sent.

The president then left the meeting frin the hands of the leader, Mrs. Sny der. The topic for the evening beinc 'Greek Sculpture," Mrs. Chapman presented in an able and most pleasing manner "The Conquest of Greece by Rome and the Revival of Greek Sculp ture." Miss Teresa Uempel then told of the "Antinious Statues," illustrated by photograph of her subjects. While Miss Heinple held her hearers in in terested attention behold! a sound fell on the air as though the Indians from the far oil plains had donned their war-paint and marched forth to battle; a murmur of "what can it be':"' passed from one to another, and the bravo heart (speaking collectively) of the Woman's club stood still and for one brief moment refused to perform its usual function as the thought oc curred that perhaps Great Brittain had come to settle the Venezuelan con troversy and had made the first attack upon tho Plattsmouth Woman's club. But lo ! an opened door admitted to their gaze forty white-robed figures afterwards discovered to be the bus bands,brothers and friends of the mem bers of theWomau's club. Identification was slow, but gradually the members recognized the trimmed pillow-slip or abed-spread which adorned the manly form of the "lord" of their household. Each figure boro a number and in res rinse to call stepped to the front and ian indiecribable manner rehdered sucaliltlft xrems of poetrv as 'Littl- Bo-Peep," "Mary Had a Little liumb," etc. After each oratorical effort the entire delegation joined in singing that inspiring song, "There Were .Three Crows Sat on a Tree." After fully Impressing the ladie9 that in a literary sense they were in nowhat be hind the times or even tho "new woman tneir masKs wore reuiuiw and the invitation given to the entire dnh tnnrmmnanv the ffentlemen to" the Hotel Riley, where a banquet most royal awaited their coming. "Greek Sculpture7' was entirely for gotten, and the hasty transformation from tho club room to the brilliantly lighted dining-room, where the sweet music of the mandolin club charmed the ear, seemed almost fairy-like. The tables, spread the entire length of tho dining room, were most bountifully and artistically laid covers being provided for nearly one hundred ffuefets. Fun was the order of the even- banked with that beautiful forn-leaved aspargus (plumosa), and the coy pink flowers that peeped out in abundance was indeed lovely. The back parlor in red, and the chief floral decoration was red carnations. The dining room was in yellow. Here the flowers were jonquils, the early harbingers of spring, which in the double and single varieties added a cheerful color to the pleasant surroundings. The executive board - of the Woman's club assisted in receivinsr. Mrs. Dr. Towner, president of the Omaha Woman's club gave a delight ful little talk on some of the benefits which a woman's club confers. Mrs. Towner has a pleasing manner and the ladies seemed to enjoy her bright talk. Mrs. Judge Keysor followed with a talk on "Art in the Home," which was not only pratical but wa9 of that nature which only one familiar with art, and possessing artistic con ception of what she sees, could- have given. Her remarks should have been printed, so that those not fortunate enough to have heard her might receive the benefit of the cultured thought of this intelligent woman. The Plattsmouth club is especially indebted to Mrs. Keysor for the inter est 6he has taken in the art depart ment. She was instrumental in pro curing for the' use of the club fifty-six pictures which aro loaned for uso in studying the early:history of Greek sculpture. Miss Lilly Kauble, accompanied by Kittle Cummins, gavo two numbers and many words of praise were heard lor tnese musicians.

The Kight Mile Orove Literary. There was a fair sized crowd in at tendance at the debate at Eight Mile Grove school house last night, when thB question, "Resolved, that the Men tal Capacity of the Sexes are Not Equal," was discussed by Baeson and Troyer on the affirmative and Lamp son and llobbins ou the negative. The affirmative claimed the superiority of the masculine mind which they de fended with vigor. The negative was proven by incontrovertible logic that they were equal. After a hearty,good natured discussion the decision was given in favor of the negative by Miss Lulu Leist, Miss Nettie Gloeson and Miss Ethel Perry as judges, who were in a position to know what was what in a question of that kind, although ing, and only the hands of the clock' th0 affirmative was ungallant enough to hint that the girls were prejudiced. Supt. Farley and Prof. Mctiugh were among the interested listeners. The next literarv and debate will be held two weeks from last night. , - THE MORTUARY RECORD.. indicating the lateness of the hour, dispersed the crowd. Tho Plattsmouth Woman's club was no less pleased thau surprised at the galantry and courtesy of their gentle man friends, and as there was no chance for an expression Saturday evening, they take this method of assuring them that it- is the universal opinion that the Plattsmouth gentlemen are not "so slow" after all, and as students of art, thev also express themselves as in- . ... bted to that visit for an object lesson in reansnc uretwu Btmpiuiv. A Cowardly Assault. Brief mention was made Saturday evening of the assault of Eli Jones on the two daughters of John Carnes, but love. Death of Mrs. Charles Cook.

Letters received by busi ness men and reports from farmers in various sections show that despite the lack of snowfall, the soil below the sur face some eighteen inches is distinctly wet. The writers say that this mois ture is coming from below, that the soil is being wet from tho bottom. Wells outfhe vicinity of Geneva ana even-its far out as Eustis, ixi the northwest, are gradually filling up. and travelers say that mud puddles are visible in tho old placeswhpr there has been n-'i.Conly on the theory mat tne moisture is coming up from below. The scientific reason for this phenomena is not given, but it would doubtless prove interesting, al though the most of us don't care so much about its cause as that it is there. Lincoln News.
