The members of the Pattsmouth club entertained a party of their young friends at cards last night in their handaom club rooms on Main and Fifth streets.

Todav closed the first half of the school year and all pupils have been provided with report cards showing their work and standing in all their studies. They are required to taite cftrd9 to their parents and re turn them in three days with the pa rents' signature. Parents should no fail to eximine these reports carefully and keep themselves Informed as to thn work of the pupils and if it is not Bfitiafnctorv thev should confer with the teacher.

It ia impossible for the ordinary pupil lo carry on full high school work satlstactorlly, whose mind is filled with anticipations of regular weekly secial gatherings and it is earnestly desired that all parents who desire their children to make satis factory progress in their ptudies, shall immediately limit these gatherings to Friday or Saturday evenings and re duce their number to what is reason able. Parents who are indifferent and who yield too readily to the pupils solici tation, regardless of the results to their school work, need not he sur prised at failures. There is a certain amount of social life that is reason able, but, until the pupils are through school, their school work should re ceive their main attention, and the fathers and mothers of this city should unite In crying down the tendency to excess along these lines.

McMaken entertained a party of ten of his old comrades of company H. Second Nebraska, at his home Sat urdav evening. "Hank" was tixty years old yesterday, but he decideu that the event could be more appro priately celebrated on Saturday even ing, and sent out invitations to that ff ect. The following veterans responded to the call: Captain Isaac Wi ee, Elias Sage, J- W. Thoma?, Harvey Sage. S. A. Davis, James Mitchell, William Gllmore.George Davis, IV'ary ville, Mo ; Fraok Caldwell and Lieu tenant J. Q. Gobs, Bellevue. Among the other guests were A. C. McMaken and wife of Atchison, Kau., and R O. Fellows of the Post. Mrs. McMaken, assisted by Misses Mattie Rupley, Lillie Thomas and Hattle McMaken, served a fine repast, consisting of oysters, salads, cake, fruit, nuts and other good things too numerous to mention. In fuct, all agreed that the hostess and her assist ants had prepared a supper which, for completeness, could not have been sur passed. During the feast the old veterans discussed reminiscences of the civil war and the conversation was enjoyed by both young and old. One of the guests suggested that, in view of the fact that there were some twenty members of old company H in Cass county, it would be a good plan to hold an annual meeting. As a token of friendship and high es teem, the veterans presented Mr. Mc Maken with a fine recking chair. The gueats did not disperse until quite a late hour, and they thanked the ho6t and hostess for having been instrumental in bringing them to gether upon such u happy occasion. Thirtieth Weddlus; Anniversary. The Sokol society gave one of its members, Andrew Matousch, a very pleasani surprise Saturday evening the occasion being the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the wed ding of Mr. and Mrs. Matousch. All the ntctssary arrangements for ihe affair had been made in a quiet way. unknown to Mr. Matou&ch and his wife. When the proper time arrived they were induced to go to the hall, where they found some 200 people awaiting them. It is needless to say that the surprise was complete in every detail. An old-fashioned wedding feast was spread, to which all did ample justice. Dtncing was one of the principal amusements of the evening and many of the o'.d folks were induced to waltz to the sweet music rendered by the or chestra. Mr. and Mrs.Matousch each received a very appropriate present as a token of the high esteem in which they weie held. Willian Holly, in a few well chosen words, presented the former with a beautiful Sokol emblem pin, while Mrs. Anton Hudecek, on behalf of the ladles present, made the pre sentation of a gold ring to Mrs. Ma tousch. The happy gathering did not dis perse until a iate hour, and all ex pressed themselves os having bhd a goodtima. Red Hot From the 6un was the ball that hit G. B.

At the regular meeting of the city ncil last evening Messersmith was the only absentee, ft was a rather iuuK , for nearly two hours. d communication from Edward M. Columbus. Neb., in reply to a letter written him by the clerk. which called his attention tothedilap- idated condition, of a house in the Sec ond ward belonging to him. was read. Mr. B incrof t thought it was tne duty of the police to prevent the whole sale destruction of windows In empty n0U8e8f apd asked the city authorities lo VQ hjm m0re information on the aubject The police committee reported w the council that Policeman T. T. Fry had been in an intoxicated condition Saturday evening, January 13, and that he had done some things at that time which were not exactly proper for an officer on duty. The committee recommended that the council tke some action ia the matter. Some of the members were in favor of dismiss ing the officer, while others thought he ought to be given an opportunity to explain. The mayor finally settled the matter for the present by ordering Mr. Fry's suspension from duty until the next regular meeting, when some definite action will be taken Mrs. H. D. Travis and Mrs. George Hay were present and the former called the attention of tho council to an old house on Marble street, between Seventh and E.ghth, which was not only a flre-tmp and rendezvous for tramp and bad boys, but was also liable to fall down at any time. The l?ouse had not been occupied for about seven years and was very unsightly After concluding her remarkp, Mrs Travis presented a petition, signed by twelve orouerty owners in that p,rt of the citv, and asking that the dun cil take immediate steps to have the old landmark removed. On mtiou of Lutz., of the Third, the matter was referred to the judiciary committee. Herold, of the claims committee, recommended that the $1 claim of F. J. Morgan for a large box be al lowed and the finance committee was instructed to that effect. The report of tho finance committee was adopted and the warrants were ordered drawn for the diffetent claims against the city. The matter of paving taes was brought up by Hinshaw and Fitzger ald. It was shown that there were a number of property owners on Maiu and Sixth streets who were not paying their share of the paving tax A mo tion was made and carried to have the city attorney look the matter up from a legal standpoint. Sidewalk matters were next in or der. Herold asked that a crossing nt Granite and Tenth streets ba raUed, and this work, together with the re pairing of the cinder walk just south of the Columbian school, were em bodied in one motion and ordered done. Buttery reported that there was a sidewalk at Twelfth and Main streets which had been thrown over an em bankment and was necessarily doing no good. He thought the walk could be replaced at comparatively little cost and made a motion that the street commissioner be instructed accord ingly. Carried. Fitzgerald reported that the Burl ington official have had the sewer near the depot repaired and that it wan t,ow in crood condition at that point. In regard to the fewer matter, Hinshaw thought it would be a good plan to have someone go through the sewer and ascertain if it is in good re nair. Sattler volunteered to do tnis and the subj9Ct was dropped On motion of Lutz, Third ward, the clerk waa instructed to advertise for bids for building sldowalks which had been ordered built at previous meet ings. The report of Superintendent Boyer or the light station, giving a list of those who were using more and larger lights than they were paying for, was read by Clerk Kerr. It was a lengthy list and contained the names of many prominent business men. On motion of Whelan, the c'.ork was ordered to make the correction on his books and collect accordingly. Sattler addressed the council at con siderable length upon a very import ant subject the light fund. He said a great many people had a mistaken conception of the condition of the city's light fund. While the funds for this purpose were running some what behind, he thought that, if the council and the management at the light station would work together in harmony, it would only be a question of timo when the city would catch up in this matter. He thought that merchants and business men who were now using gasoline lamps could be in duced to use gas or electric lights, if they could be assured of satisfactory service. He made a motion to have the clerk make out an itemized state ment of the city's expenses in this re spect, and that the same be pub.ishcd in one of the daily papers. Carried. Considerable discussion was ind ulged in as to the advisability of purchasing additional transformers, and, nnauy. by a un animous vote of the members present . the clerk was instructed to purchase a 100-light transformer The need of having a city tax coi NEW TRANSFORMER lector was also discussed, and, upon the suggestion of the mayor. Street Commissioner Hansen was decided upon to look after these collections. Adjournment was then taken. BRIEFLY TOLD. Our cream bread can't be boat. Vienna bakery.
