Greeted By a Large Audience, A very pleasing concert was given last evening at the Methodist church by the DeMoss family, under the auspices of the Aid society of that r-hureh. The large audience was entertained by music, both vocal and instrumental, some of the various in struments used being new to most of the audience. It was really wonderful the versatility displayed by each per former as they handled xylophone ocarina, mandolin, banjo, and the bell on which Mr. and Miss DeMoss played most delightfully. "Little Johnn Horner," a glee by the quartet, was inimitable and delighted the old folks as well as the children. "With the talent that this troupe possesses it is safe to predict a most successful future, and it is hoped this is not their last appearance in our city. It was a matter of regret that the threatening rain prevented so many from hearing the closing numbers of the program. It is said that saloonkeepers in New York adjacent to the tea saloon just opened by the church army with the idea of getting the poor people to drink tea instead of beer, propose to retaliate. Since, however, this re taliation is to consist, so far as deter mined upon, in the selling of tea, as well as beer, the originators of the tea ealoondonot feel worried. The tea saloon eells tea at 1 centacup,whether hot or cold, and the regular saloon keepers propose to offer it at the same price. Icecream flavored with extracts, 25 cents per quart at Holloway'.

After the post mortem examinations of the tubercu losis cows killed at the stock yards Governor Tanner said: "I am con vinced that tuberculosis has made a more general invasion of live stock than is generally believed, and I also am confident if not remedied by proper laws and a liberal appropriation by the state will have more serious results than the mere loss of cattle. "I shall recommend at the next meet ing of the legislature that the state board of live stock commissioners be given an appropriation of at least $50,- 000 with which to carry on the work of exterminating tuberculosis cattle. 1 also shall exert my influence in ob taining for the commissioners more minority. "My observations lead me to believe that it is usafe to drink milk v. Inch is not known positively to be non tuDerculosis. The cattle which I have seen slaughtered and dissected today, and which I saw were saturated with tuberculosis, ten days ago were fur nishing milk to my family. I never questioned its purity. And there is tue secret of the official negligence whicn has permitted this disease to matce such progress. I am glad my eyes have been opened. The recent awakening of public interest on the subject will have practical results. "What is necessary is this: The live stock commissioners must be given police power to enter any and all dairies for the purpose of testing the cattle with the tuberculin test. They must confiscate to the state all cattle that show symptoms of tuberculosis infection. They must also be allowed money enough to remunerate the for mer owners of sucn confiscated cattle. The cattle then ought to be slaughtered or destroyed." In view of the encouragement given the commissioners by Governor Tannei the live stock board held a meeting and adopted ' plans for the summer's work. New rules were adopted in ac cordance with u-e advice given by the governor that the commissioners uti lize as rigorously as possible all the authority given them under the present law. The live stock commissioners today started on a tour of inspection of dairies in McHenry county. Commodore Mayo Married. FARGO, N. D., June 7. Commodore M. S.

A strike of 25,000 coal miners in the central dis trict of Pennsylvania is threatened. Within the last ten days secret meet ings have been held at Robertsdale and Clearfield at which the national and district officers of the United Mine Workers' association were authorized to prepare the machine miners of the whole district for a strike to be de clared as soon as those officials thought the time ripe. A letter from a national organizer received here de clares that this will be within a month or six weeks. A complete tie-up of the mines in the central region, which Includes the counties of Cambria, Clearfield. Jeffer son. Armstrong. Huntington, Bedford. Somerset.

A VERY PLEASANT SUHPfllSC Miillirm I'lafi i lU--llnir In Honor of .M rx WIiimIow' lllrl lulxy. in tho goldon sunset's glow of llfo, suoiug no shadows but thoo which re flect the in fin ito lovo of her Savior, with loving children and grandchil dren, and a host of friends who pay her homage, sits dear Mrs. Winlow, gracefully, sweetly and lovingly ro lleeling the bright, yes, ami the young side of growing old. The mother's meeting, of vhich Mrs. Win-low is superintendent, was . n..nrll.,i hv )l(. .1 ,h,,P "irB- 'lv'-' l" uo " 111 er homo on her mother's seventy fifth birthday. The parlors were prettily decorated with flowers. Miss Willard's picture adorned tne piano, and the regalia which Mr. Wins-low, the sainted hus band aHd father, wore when ho was Grand Worthy Patriarch of tho Sons of Temperance of Missouri in 1851 was draped across tho corner. The ladies gathered until tho parlor? ard hall wero filled to overflowing. Mrs. Wins low presided with a calm and serene grace, little thinking of the many pleasant surprises which wero in t-toro for her, but not on the program. Tho meeting opened by repoating in concert the twenty-third Pealm. After songs and bible reading, led by Mrs. Sr.hiMknccht, ami prayer, tho 'Willard H ill Echoes," were road. At tliH juncture tho Boys' History class with their teacher, Mrs. Stout.en- borough, catr.o in, and, ono by one, congratulated Mrs. Winslow. Some presented her with flowers, and all left their good wishes for her as they passed through the narlois and out again. She has attended their meet ings occasionally, being much in terested in their work, anil has on deared her.-elf lo every hoy in tho clfiss Mrs. Stontcrihorough read a very interesting and instructive paper, written by a lather for a mother's meeting, and ivud at the federation at Burlington, it was appreciated by tho wives and mothers present, who wished t h it :t mirjht ho read by the husbands and fathers of Plattsmouth. Miss Dily, tho talentod elocutionist from University Place, was oppor tunely present and rendered, in an artistic manner, a selection entitled "Tho Daughter's Sacrifice." By request, O S PoIk left the whirl and bustle of business activity and le pairod to the quiet retreat of the mother's meeting, and if any had a thought that ho was out of placo it was quickly dispelled; for he appeared perfectly at ease, and in a graceful manner paid tribute to tho mothers, and especially to the betuty of char acter and life of her whoso birthday was celebrated. Mrs. Dfldgo read a paper beating upon tho same lino of thought as the ono proviously read. It called forth some pleasant com ments, and if the fathers think they wero forgotten at the mother's meet ing they would have been agreeably surprised to hear the nice things that worn said of them. Mrs. Davis then, with her usual composure, tenderly and sweetly drew a word picture of a little babe born seventy-five years ago that day, and with much feeling paid tribute to the mother-love and 1 i fo, and to the dear fther who had proceeded them to the bettor land, whose influenco and teaca ings had shaped, guided and guarded her from childhood to tho present time. Then, in a sweet way, Nellie Tollilf recited a pom entitled "Whore Do Grandma's Come From?" A poem by William Heed Dunroy was read by Mrs. Wesrott, and after repeating tho Lord's prayer in concert the meeting closed. The hostess then invited the ladies to rep tit- to the dining room, wheie delicious refreshments were served by her daughters, assisted by Miss E iilh Snyder. The second daughter, Eunice D tvis, happily, was born on the same day of the month as her grandmother, and her eighteenth birthday will ever re msrin one of tho pleasant events, of her life. Among the many gifts to gladden the heart of Mrs. Winslow, during all the years God gives to her, was a dainty birthday book from a few friends, presented by Mrs. Slouten borough in a choice selection of words expressive of love and appreciation of such a beautiful life. .A'any names of those present were afterwards in scribed in their proper places. Also a pretty guest bo;k in which over fifty names wore registered. A pleasing featuro of the afternoon's program was a solo by Mrs. A. P. Cimpbell, and Mrs. James ITerold sang Annie Laurie in the Scotch dialect, which was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. It was t o'clcck when the ladies re turned to their homes, feeling it was indeed blessed to breathe pii atmos phere so laden with the fragrance of loving devotion and kindly acts as pervades the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Davis. May tho cup of joy which was full to overflowing in the heart of Mrs. Wirsiow, be filled many more birthdays irntil her life is full and complete in Christ and she enters into her reward.
