The concert given at the Presbyter
ian church by Miss Sullivan and
other artists last evening was a highly
enjoyable musical event. There was
a largo and enthusiastic audienco
present who enjoyed every number of
the varied program. l'rof. Long is
possessed of an artistic touch and his
interpretation of Chopin ana Ruben
stein wns simply faultless. Oneof the
boat enjoyed of his numbers, was a
piece of his own composition entitled
A Morning iaerenauo, wnicn was
played with the most delicate and
'artistic effect.
Miss Bowcu made her initial bow to
Plattsmouth audience, but her talent
is, In every sonso, stumped witn tne
seal of success; her graceful stage pre
sence and beautiful contralto voice,
won for her many admirers, and the
frequent encores received, testified
the appreciation of the audience.
Mr. Manchester is possessed of an
excellent voice of good range and
splendid vocal expression. His best
number was the bass solo entitled "My
Little Lass." Miss Sullivan needed
no introduction to a Plattsmouth
audience, and her every appearance
on the Btago was greeted with hearty
applause. Her sweet soprano was
heard to trood advantage in "The
Secret" and also in a charming duett
sung with Miss fJowen, in which their
voices blended so beautifully as to
call forth a double encore.
Plattsmouth is so starved, musieall-,
that a concert excellent in every par
ticular like last evening s perform
ance cannot be too often repeatel, and
many thanks are due Miss Sullivan.
Art Old Favorite.
The farcial, "Pulse of New York,"
an old favorite with the American
theatre-goers, is the next attraction
at White s opera house, tomorrow
night, February 1!). Unlike plays of
its class, it does not wear out, bhows a
constant improvement and becomes
more enjoyable each yoar. Tho play,
though tbrico popular, is now In tho
zenith of its success, and is every
where favored by largo patrongo,
which is proof positive that it is just
the sort of performance the public
desires. The company, a largo and
strictly lirst-class ensemble of artists,
is headed by Stella Mayhew and Win.
A. Long, late principal comedian with
llanlon's "Superba." A special fea
ture is made of tho vaudeville portion
of tho play, and twelve high-class
specialties are introduced during tne
second act. The "Pulse of New York"
is just the sort of performance the
people enjoy, and that's why they at
tend it.
lejiarl incut Store u Cio.
Colonel Thrasher received a letter
from Manager Tourtelott today, which
settles tho department store matter
effectually. Mr. 1. is securing an im

Mr. Tourtelottc will be here to stay

public such cash bargains as will stop

will do a good business and benefit the
town.

A Destructive lSIaze.
Piattsruouth has not sutieted any
serious loss from fire for a long lime
List niirht a cosv borne in the lirst
ward was laid waste and a severe loss
suffered. It was about 2:30 this morn
ing when Posey Mcsersmith's do
awakened them by persistent barking.
Posev got up to see what was the mat
ter when he noticed names coming
from the residence of his nearest
neighbor, Fred Jordon. Ho quickly
donned his trousers and hurried to
the scene of the fire, only to lind Joi
dan and his family sound asleep. They
were awakened barely in time to es
cape with their lives, saving only two
or three pieces of furniture as they
came out.
The fire started in some rooms that
had not been used for several weeks
and had contained no fire at all, so
that its origin is a mystery. It might
have resulted from mice and matches,
but nothinc certain is known with re
gard to it.
The house was a neat soven-rcom
structure and had been but recently
painted, and was occupied by Fred
Jordan, wife and two children. Mr
Jordan works in the B & M. shops
and the f .imily had not been away.
The house was valued at $1,500 and
was insured for $S00,and the furniture
for $500. The insurance companies
which suffer tho loss are the Commer
cial Union, and the Farmers & Mer
chants of Lincoln.
The firemen responded to the alarm
and were q uickly on the ground and
did good work in saving Messersmith's
house, but the flames were too far
aloni? on the Jordan house lor any
thing to be done.
Iid You .Make Your (iraiu-O This Way?
Here are the latest directions: Use
one tablespoon! ul of Grain-O to two
cups of cold water. Mix the Grain-O
with half an egg and add the water.
(Be sure to measure.) After the
water gets to the boiling point let
boil for fifteen to twenty minutes. Us
cream tmd sugar to suit the taste. If
you have not cream use hot milk.
A lady said: "The first time
orank Grain-O I did not like it, but
after using it for ten days and forming
tho habit, nothing would induce me
to go back t' coffee." This is the ex
perienc3 of all. If you will follow di
rections, measure it every time and
make it tho same, and try it for ten
days, you will not go back to coffee.
