HOLD AN OPEN MEETING
Members of the Woman's Club
Entertain Their Friends.
Many of the "Men Folk" VFre Present
and AMlitfd Very Materially to Make
th First Meeting of tbe Sew Tear
Social Event Loos; to Be Remem
beredOther News.
The members of the Plattsmouth
Woman's club were "at homfe"to their
friends last night at the residence of
Mrs. Nellie P. Agnew, on Third
street. The invitations read from 8
to 11, and during that time more than
one hundred availed themselves of the
privilege of greeting each other in
Mrs. Agnew's pleasant home. The
New Year receptions of this organiza
tion are looked forward to as one of
the social events of the city,and the re
ception last evening was one of the
most enjoyable in the history of the
"Woman's club..
Mrs. Agnew's home is well adapted
for entertaining, and the reception
hall, the parlors and the dining room
were especially pretty in their Christ
mas greens, while large bouquets of
pink roses and white hyacinths served
to nod a pleasant welcome to one and
all.
Mrs. fellows, president of the club,
was assisted in receiving the guests
by Mrs. Agnew, Mrs. Byron Clark and
Mrs. James Herold. Indeed, each
member seemed to feel that she was a
committee of one to make some one
ele enjoy the evening. Each gueBt
was presented with a tiny card on
which a pen and ink sketch set them
to guessing what wa3 missing to make
the picture complete. No little mer
riment followed the matching of the
bits of paste-board. The knife was
looking for the fork, the cup for the
saucer, the thread for the needle,
"while the cow jumped over the
moon and the little dog laughed at
(he sport and ran away with the
spoon." In this way partners were
chosen for the dining room. Mrs. Dr.
Elster ana Miss Grace Stoutenborougb
poured coffee, while Misses Gene
Marshall. Mvrtle Levings, Edith
Buzzell and Margaret Mapes assisted
' in serving refreshments.
Miss Lou Smith at the piano played
three or four numbers which were ap
preciated by all present.
The clock in the court house tolled
eleven and there were still a few
quests left to "talk it all over." The
reflex pleasure mutt have been a mat
ter of congratulation to all who helped
-to make a pleasant evening for the
visitors who seemingly enjoyed the
New Year's bospitalitv of the
Woman's club.
Motra.
How happy Mr. Travis looked when
be "matched" his watch.
How many times did Prof. McHugh,
R. B. Windham and Byron Clark
"take in" the refreshment room?
The question today was not "Have
you solved the riddle when does the
twentieth century begin?" but "Did
you attend the reception last night?"
Did you see the lady who made tbe
coffee smile when she was informed
that her partner refused to eat until
he would come to tbe dining room?
No little credit is due Laura De
Fellows, Winifred Unruh and Sallie
Agnew for the pen- and ink sketches
which were so beautifully executed by
these young ladies.
Quite a number of out-of-town
guests were noticed there Mrs. Jack
son of Lincoln, Mrs. Guild of Omaha,
Miss Goodell of Glenwood and Mr.
Dana Sleeth of Lincoln were among
the number.
We are told that one member of tbe
club was so generous that she staid at
home and took care of the children in
order that her husband might attend
but he is one of the best speakers on
the lecture course this year.
It. means a good deal for the women
of our city to be helpful friends and
when tbe representative men "confess
that they go to their conventions for
tbe social side of it," surely women
need not decry the occasions which
serve to bring them together on a so
cial basis.

THE JURY FAILS TO AGREE
Case of the 8tate vs. MM Contryman
Will Be Tried m Second Time.
It w-s a large crowd of people that
assembled in Judge Gess" court Tues
day to listen to the case wherein Miss
Margaret Contryman.teacher of a dis
trict school near Weeping Water, was
charged with assault and battery on
the person of one of her pupils, Agnes
Carper, the fifteen-year-old daughter
of James Carper. There were a num
ber of witnesses summoned on both
sides and tbe evidence disclosed the
following:
The Carper girl and a daughter of
Ed Tighe were caught whispering and
kept in at noon for a short time. They
were then excused and when school
was called after noon tbe two girls
went out with the remark that they
would stay out as long as they had
been kept in. On again entering the
room, instead of taking their seats,
they remained standing by tbe stove
until the teacher had told them the
second or third time to take their
seats. In attempting to punish the
Carper girl for her disobedience the
switch was broken, the scholar grab
bing it as she was being struck across
the shoulders. With her weapon des
troyed the teacher then proceeded to
thump the disobedient scholar between
the shoulders ith her fists. The girl
ran over near the stove, when tbe
teacher went to tbe other end of the
room, picking up a loose slat from a
seat and struck the girl with it. Just
where the blow fell seemed to be a
matter of a great deal of difference of
opinion tbe teacher testifying that it
was on the skirts and did not hurt the
girl, while the girl and other witnesses
testified that the blow was across the
hips. Here you have the testimony in
a nut shell. The attorney for the
state claimed that Inasmuch as a hard
wood slat was used upon tbe girl and
that she was struct in the back with
the clinched fist of the teacher that
the evidence was sufficient to convict
the teacher of the charge of assault
and battery. A. M. Russell appeared
for the state. The defendant's attor
ney, J. E Douglas, asked for a verdict
of acquittal on the ground that the
teacher was using the only instrument
at hand to put down the rebellion in
her school. Both attorneys sighted
law touching on the case and it was
given to the jury a little after 9
o'clock Tuesday evenlng.and after be
ing out until 7 o'clock Wednesday
morning and failing to agree the jury
was discharged.
The case will come up again Janu
ary 13. Louisville Courier.

The employes of The News will to
morrow morning enter upon the un
pleasant task of moving the plant to a
new location. It will be removed to

was one of a like nature given during
the year 1899 which was more highly
enjoyed. This club was organized 1 st
June, the object of which is for social
and literary advancement, but it has
been so quiet (unlike most clubs) that
little has been heard of it. However,
