ROYALLY ENTERTAINED.
BOYS' HISTORY CLASS GIVEN A
ROYAL RECEPTION.
la
lnvorfd With to Aldrfta by Dr. U.
Miller of Omaha Who Given Them
Much Ent-ouragenipnt
S:Uurday was a red letter day for
the Boys' History c'.ass, it being the
occasion of its second annual recep
tion when Mr. and Mrs. V E. White
ODened their beautiful home for its
entertainment. The class consists of
thirty-five uiembers, ranging .from
nine lo fourteen ve;irs of age, and
each was given the privilege of invit
ing two friends. They gave the pref
erence to their pat-outs and this filled
the parlors to their utmost capacity,
The guest of honor lor the evening
was Dr. Coerge L. Miller of Omaha
who has fehown much interest in this
ilas-s and its work. The meeting- was
called to order by the president,which
was followed by the reading of the
minutes of the previous meeting-
Lloyd Wilson then gave a short sketch
on the history of ihe class, then fol
lowed recitations and music, the lat
ter being furnished bv Misses Kessler
and Vallery, Edna and May Petersen,
Leo Pepperberg and Vallery White.
Recitations were given by Miss Ilal-
tio Windhaiu'of Glenwood, Arthur
and Peth Munger ami Ross Barstow.
The story of "Beautiful Joe" was re
lated by FYitz Fricke, which had a
happy ending in a German proverb
"If vou exnect dumb animals to love
bo kind to them."
Each person on the program was
heartily applauded, but probably the
most enjoyable evect of the evening
was Dr. Miller's address to the class
and parents, which was very encourg-
hig to both. After the address an op
portunity was given to meet Dr.Miller
and all the members availed them
selves of the opportunity.
Delightful refreshments were served
in an adjoining room, seasoned with
pleasant conversation. The parlors
and halls were beau'.fully decorated
with roses and daffodils, the whole
forming a pleasing picture and attest
ing the interest of the host and hostess
in the Boys' History class.
An IntereHtlnu Sleeting. ,
. The Woman's club held one of the
most enjoyable meetings of the year
last evening.
The exercises under the 'Cut-rent
Literr tut e"department,Mrs. Munger,
leader, wus very interesting1."
Mrs. Kay 's recitation, rendered in a
highly dramatic style, was fu st on the
program, and was quite good.
Mrs. Wise followed with an essay,
"Moral Responsibility of the Poet."
Her paper showed much original
thought and was diversified by several
beautiful selections from popular
American poets.
Miss Mat snail's paper on James
Russell Lowell "as well prepared and
well received.
Mrs- Snyaer's, on James Whitcomb
Riley, "the poet ol the common people,
was exceptionally good, followed, as it
was, by the reading of two or three of
Riley's poems couched In hi well
known hoosier vernacular.
Mrs. Stouteuborough closed the pro
gram with a reading ''Unanswered
Prayers." by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, a
beautiful poem and beautifully read.
Burlington Change Time.
Ou Sunday next the Burlington will
make a change in its train service be
tween Cieston, la., and Omaha.
Train No. 11, which now leaves Cres
ton at 2:65 a. m. and arrives in Omaha
at 8:03 a. m., will, on and after Sunday
next, leave Creston at b:4o arriving in
Omaha at 11:50 a. m. This train will
arrive in Creston at 2:50 a. m. as now,
but it will hereafter remain at Cres
ton until 6:-l-5, which is though to be a
better hour for people in that neigh
borhood desiring to transact busines-s
in this city. Omaha Bee.
The above change, it is said, will
have no effect here, as the train will
reach Omaha via Council iilutls as
formerly. Our train from the east is

Want to tight the Spaniards.
"Captain" William Neville has
earned a wide reputation as a re
cruiting officer to assist in freeing
Cuba from the clutches of the'
Spaniards and is almost daily in re
ceipt of letters from men who are
anxious to joic his company. The
latest is from C. B. Barker, who is at
present uuder treatment at the Metho
dist hospital at Omaha. lie is very
earnest in his desire to see the strug
gling Cubans U'ade free from the
"toothless old wolf Spain." Mr. Bar
ker gives his "dimensions," age, ot,
and makes a strong plea to bo num
bered among "Biily's"' company of
fighters. He also states he would fur
nish his own Winchester rifle and 00
iniiiuh? of ammunition. If Mr- Neville
keeps on adding recruits he
be able to "clean up" Spain.

About That New Jail.
Brother Keithley of the Weeping
Water Republican, is out this week
with u lengthy editorial in opposition
to building a county jail at Platts
moulb. He says wo don't need it and
that the old one is good enough. If
the Courier is not mistaken Brother
Jim has written numerous articles in
the past year regarding the insuffi
ciency of the old shell at Plattsmouth
that we are compelled to point to as
the Cass county jail. The fact that
not less than a half a hundred jail de
liveries have been chronicled is surely
sutlicent evidence thtit we need a uaw
jail and need it now. The artiele of
which the Republican man is the
author, might sound all right if pub
lished out in the sand hiils and in a
pop paper that makes a specialty of
giving the state a bad name and mak
ing people believe we are on the verge
of bankrupcy,but for a wide-awake re
publican journal published in the rich
est county in the state it comes with
very poor grace. What is the use of
paying a sheriff to run over the
county huuting down law breakers if
they are to be put in an old shell, fed
a few weeks and just before the time
set for trial they quickly kick a hole
through the wall and are gone? There
is .iot a citizen in the whole county,
the republican man included, but
must acknowledge that Cass county
needs a new jail, and The Courier
trusts that when it comes to a vote that
there will be a unanimous vote cast
favoring the proposed erection ol a
county jail as spoken of in last weeks

Struck Oil.
Ckawford, Neb., March 5. James
English, perhaps the wealthiest
farmer in this neighborhood, while
hnvii,,T o won irillorl rn n. topp nf
his land about two miles southeast of I
C rawford struck oil. The well is now
fifty feet deep. Rock was struck at
about twenty feet, and the drillers re-
ported indications of oil after they I
drilled atout twenty feet into the
rock; they went down ten feet further I
that day and the next morning there I
was about ten feet of water in the hole,
with over a foot of oil float ini? on the I
surface. The oil is as clear as refined
oil and a i ag taturated with it burns
up as brilliantly as if saturated with
the best grades shipped in. English
was in town yesterday and tcok out
some apparatus for gathering a
quantity of the oil, which he will
send to the state university. With
the apparatus at band here it is al
most impossible to measure the
amount of oil floating on the water in
the well, but some reliable persons
say it is about one-thiid oil. The re
port of the state university is looked
forward to with much interest.

Edward Hubble and the woman he

The other night whea Judge Alice
Minick was delivering a stirring ad

turned out the lights and left the ball
in Cimmerian darkness, whatever
kind of darkness that is (we are in
debted to another female judge for

would have overwhelmed a male orator

The New Cabinet.
Washington, March 5. The presi

nations: Secretary of State John Sherman

The appointments were all con-
firmed and practically without opposi-
tion. There was for a time a threat of
opposition to Mr. Guge, as secretary
cf the treasury, because of his finan
cial views and because ho is a banker.
but there was more of this among
Bdnators in the cloakrooms than in
tDe senate.
-l he senate went into executive ses
sio" promptly upon the receipt of the
nominations, and as soon as the an-
nouncement was made of the appoint-
ment ol Senator Sherman, whose
name beaded the list, lie was con-
firmed. It is the practice to refer all
nominations to committees, but it was
the desire of Mr. Sherman's friends
to signalize their regard for him by
immediate action.
There was more form than reality
in the reference of the other nomina
tions to committees. Not one of the
committees held a formal meeting.

An Important Case.
The effort of the lissouri Pacific
attorneys to prevent a hearing of the
following case in supreme court by
tying to quash the bill of excep
tions was foiled, as will bo seen from,
the sylabi, which reads as follows:

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Many of the Books an Inault to the In
telligence of Young: Teople.
Edward W. Bok has been making a
careful and comprehensive examination
of Sunday school libraries, and in The
Ladies' Home Journal he confesses him
self disgusted with the literature thus
placed in the hands of our boys and
girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr. Bok says, would not have made it
possible for bim to believe that the li
braries of onr Sunday schools were
Stocked with such piles of rubbish
'wishy washy literature," as he terms
it. He-quotes the titles and gives the
themes of a number of books lie obtained
from Sunday school libraries, and these
seem to completely warrant his conclu
sions. "Such books, " he contends, "are
an insult to the intelligence of the
young people and have a pernicious in
fluence. Instead of being healthy books
they are decidedly unhealthy in tone
and teaching. Surely we are cultivating
a dangerous taste for reading in the!
young when we feed them on such rub
bish. '
Air. Bok unhesitatinglv lavs a part of
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are influenced by
a denominational spirit that narrows
their choice of Looks. Then, ayaiu, it is
shown that the most mediocre sort of
talent" is employed to write these
books, and that beggarly prices let's
than $S0 per b;ok are paid. A share
of responsibility, Mr. Bok asserts, rests
upon tne men who purchase Sunday
school libanies, who, as is most fre
quently the case, are not qualified for
the task and whose objec t is to secure a
library as cheap as possible. Mr. Bok
warmly urges that the selection of Sun
day school books be left to women, who
instinctively know and ft. -el the kind
of a book which a I oy or girl will read
and enjoy." He insists that women
should be given carte blanche to make
the selections so far as the prescribed
amount of money will go. "A hundred
good books," Mr. Bok concludes, "are
far better than 500 books of indifferent
interest," which are bought simply le-
oause they are cheap. "A Sunday school
library cannot be created in a day, and
no discouragement should be felt if the
financial means of the church are con
tracted and necessitate the purchase oi
only a few books at a time."
Hel pleas as to Ilread.
Captain Bliss was like all seamen, a
strict disciplinarian, and his crew re
spected him beyond measure. Not one
of them would have dreamed of inter
preting a command otherwise than ac
cording to the stric t letter of the law.
Tilings mu.st be done shipshape tinder
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in a cer
tain iort, th" captain gave a dinner to
some town acquaintances, aim aa me
resources of the ship were not great
some of the sailors were deputed to wait
on the table to re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards.
As these men were not used to such
work each one was told exactly wha.t
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however,, ono cd
the ladies wanted a piece of bread.
There was none very near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite oblivions to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to the
man at her elbow.
"Bread, please, " she said.
He looked regretfully at the bread
and then at her. It was evident that he
would fain have helped her if it had
been in his power. He saluted m hue
naval style.
"Can't do it, ma'am," said he. "I'm

Lord NclHon's Spirit.
Captain Alfred T. Maban writes an
account of ".Nelson Jn tne Kattle ot
Copenhagen" for The Century. Captain
Mahan quotes the following from the
account of the emen't written bv
Colonel Stewart of the British forces:
'Lord Nelson was at this time, as he
had been during the whole action, walk
ing the starboard side of the quarter
deck, sometimes much animated and at
others heroically fine in his observa
tions. A shot through the mainmast
knocked a few splinters about us. He
observed to me with a smile, 'Itiswarm
work, and this day may be the last to
any of us at a moment, ' and then, stop
ping short at the gangway, he used an
expression never to be erased from my
memory and said with emotion, 'But,
mark you, I would not be elsewhere for
thousands.'" With this spirit may be
compared his rebuke come days after the
battle to a lieutenant, who during the
action had made a hopeless report about
the grounded ships, At such a moment
the delivery of anything like a despond
ing opinion, unasked, was highly repre
hensible and deserved much more cen
sure than Captain Foley gave you."
Itrains lligger Than Man's.
According to Professor Max Weber of
Amsterdam, the only animals which
surpass man in the absolute weight of
their brains are elephants and whales,
but there are several that rank ahead
of him in the ratio of the brain weight
to the total weight of the body. All of
these, however, are comparatively small
animals. Among them are many mon
keys and certain members of the squir
rel and mouse families. ro animal of
greater bodily size than man has a brain
which is relatively as large as ins. up
on the whole, it seems that man's men
tal superiority is due rather to the qual
ity and organization than to the size of
his brain.
