goody! I do believe he is going to
speak.
There was a craning of necks in the
house gallery, an ecstatic chorus of
Oh's; a rustling of silken skirts, and
a broad grin or two exchanged by the
guides that had the various tourists
in tow.
The baldheaded man rose from the
seat vefy abruptly, asked Speaker
Cannon a parliamentary question and
sat down even more abruptly In the
brief monent that he was on his feet,
his face became three degrees rosier
than usual "Nick" has a good,
healthy glow on his face ordinarily
and the blush mounted from his fore
head to his bald spot and traveled all
over the expansive clearing until it
lost itself in the fringe of hair above
the collar.
"Why, sec how red he's getting on
top of his head," cried one of the fair
tourists.
"Is he as bashful as all that." asked
another.
"He's the most bashful man in the
house,"replied the human guide book.
"He's so bashful that he blushes every
time the clerk calls his name."
"Why" demanded the young woman
who had come all the way from New
L'ngland and was bound to get her
money's worth.
"Maybe he was born that way,"said
the guide. "Maybe it is because he
knows that a crowd of good looking
women are taking him in every time
he gets up to speak."
"Nick's marriage to Miss Roosevelt
mighty near put him to the bad as a
member of this house." said one of
Longworth's congressional colleagues.
"Every time he gets up on his feet
he feels as though every woman in the
gallery had her finger on top of his
head and was turning him around and
round, as if he was on a pivot to ex
amine him. He is naturally an unas
suming, diffident sort of a chap anyway
and all the notoriety he has got since
his. marriage to th daughter of the
former president has simply had the
the effect of putting him in a perpet
ual panic' The result of it is that he
never gets up on the floor unless he
has to, and then drops down again as
though he were hit by a brick as soon
as he has had h's little say. Nick has
nil kinds of good ideas and with his
experience would make a valuable
member if he were not scared stiff.
It is a pity that he can't have an um
brella or some other shield to hide the
galleries from him when he wants to
talk." Ex.

THEY WERE ALL OUT
FOR A GREAT BIG TIME.
And as Is Usual with the Bunch
They Succeeded In the most
Approved manner
The Hotel Uihy bunch and its
adjuncts turned itself loose last night
and ripped things up the back besides
preforming various other stunts of
a nature most happy to themselves
and more or less so to their victims,
Mr. and Mrs. L. K. Shaulis. The
Shaulis', husband and wife, have
had something coining for some time
and got theirs to the limit this time.
It was annul o clock in the even
ing whe n about a dozen well disguised
individuals, led by little Minnehaha,
filed into the cosy rooms of Mr. and
Mrs. John llatt, bearing with them
well filled baskets of what later proved
something very good to eat. A notice
was sent in to Mr. and Mrs. Shaulis
that there was something doing and
it was ijp to them to do the reception
act. An, answer was returned that
"there was nothing doing; we have
gone to bed." TheyN'ere given a
reasonable time to place themselves
in a position and condition to re
ceive their uninvited guests and it is
unnecessary to say that the time
limit did not expire before the sum
mons came to enter and be received
with as much grace as the occasion
would warrant and the perturbed
reelings of the arouHed-from-sluinber
hosts would permit.
The occasion was a snrprsie mas
querade party on Mr. and Mrs.
Shaulis by a number of freinds who
have had the event in mind for some
time. The costumes of the merry
maskers were well conceived and
happily carried out. In fact so good
were they that it seemed too bad to
confine the admirable costumes to
the admiration of so few. Games of
all kinds, together with music and
dainty refreshments were the order
of the evening, prizes were awarded
and of course, most appropriately, A.
E. Quinn was presented with the old
original hatched, used by one George
Washington to cut kindling wood for
his father. Mrs. John Hatt received
the other prize, a handsome engraving
of the father of our country. It was
a happy bunch and it was a happy
time they had. Thosepresent were:
Mr. and Mrs. John Hatt, Mr. and
Mrs. G. B. Gould, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Gobleman,Misscs Mae Pat
terson, Genevieve Howard, Pearl Ni
chols and Messrs Bob Hayes, Geo.
Mann and A. E. Quinn.
Mrs. Gould, as Martha Washington,
was as charming and dignified as the
lady she represented. Mrs. Gobleman
as Minnehaha, looked as though
she had just stepped off the reser
vation, while Mrs. Hatt, as Topsy,
was the real thing. Mac Patterson,
as the school girl, had her gum with
her and her pockets filled with "things"
Pearl Nichols was fixed up as a rag
doll and was a winner, while Gene
vieve Howard as the black princess
was just what might be expected
of such a character. Hayes and Gould
as the "Gold Dust Twins," were
just as black as they were painted,
and John Hatt, as a Weary Willie,
showed what might happen to most
of us. Quinn, as Buffalo Bill or some
other wild west ruffian, looked quite
natural, thank you, but Maun as a
Bowery tough, was something fierce
He looked as though he had had a
badnight several nights previous. Oh,
it was a dandy looking bunch allright.
Aid Sick Brother.
Last Sunday afternoon Henry Goos
and George Lushinsky representing
tho local M. W. A. went to Omaha
to sec Mj. Hambleton, who has been
bed fast with the last stages of con
sumption for tJirec months. Mr.
Hambleton is a member of the local
camp and since his sickness the lodge
has kept up his dues, and on the
occasion of the visit of Mr. Goos
and Mr. Lushinsky, financial aid was
.rendered the family of the sick brother
The local lodge has paid out a large
amount of money within the past
year in aiding those in distressing cir
cumstances. B. Wurl departed this morning
for Union and other county towns
with a cargo of homo grown cigars.
ON TRIAL YESTERDAY
DESERTING WIFE.
Charles II. Nellgh Complained
Against by Deserted
Spouse.
In the district court yesterday the
following named gnetlemen were se
lected as the panel to try the case of
the State against Charles G. Neligh
former Plattsmouth young man,
for wife desertion. Albert Despain,
Creed Harris. William Weber. Georire
Vogel, W illiam Cross, Miles Drake,
John Froliek. John Boirard. L. B.
I'genberger, J. C. "Lemon, II. F.
Ktopp and John Sehoeman. County
Attorney W. C. Hamsey stated the
state's case to the jury, and Mat hew
Gering did the same for the defendant.
Mr. Hamsey stated in substance
that he expected to move that the
lefendant had abandoned his wife,
Grace Xclich on or about September
1008 in Cass county, Nebraska, being
at that time a resident of this county.
I hat although during the season for
tilling crops defendant had resided
in Cummings county, that when the
offense was committed he had removed
lis residence to Plattsmouth, since
that time he had been in Cummings
county, leaving his wife at her parent's
home, never contributing anything
toward her support, and not replying
to any of three letters written to him
by lis wife. Mr. Gering said that
therewould be little conflict in much
of the evidence, perhaps lass than
generally expected is a criminal case.
The evidence for the defenant would
show that soon after the marriage
of the defendant and the complaining
witness that they went to Cummings
county and resided on a farm with
defendants parents, that difficulty
arose , between the complaining wit-
nesj-'and defendant s mother over
the cares of the household, the de
fendant's wife declining to parti
cipate in the labors necessary in keep
ing the farmer's home. Harsh lan
guage was passed between defendants
wife and his mother, his wife being the
aggressor, that epithets of an oppro
brious character were used by his
wife, addressed to his mother, to
which defendant took cxception.after
which similar names were hurled at
defendant, much to his regret. Later
defendant's wife came to visit her
parents and repeated the vis't some
three times, each time defendant
paid her fare. These heated colo
quies were repeated until in September
of 11)08 the wife left Cummings county
for her home giving the defendant to
understand that she would not return
That for the year of 1908, defendant
had a'Icase in writing from hia uncle
of a farm on which defendant resided
that year, his lease being from March
1st, 1908 to March 1st., 1909, that
he visited here in September of 19.08
for four days, but at no time intended
to make Plattsmouth his place of
residence. That defendant relumed
to Cummings county in September
of 1908 and in November voted in
the fall eleetion. That his residence
since his marriage had been in Cum
mings county and that the wife
had deserted him and not the (le
fendant his wife.
The case will turn on the tech
nicality of the residence of the de
fendant at the time the offense is
alleged- to have been committed.
The William Grew Players.
If you don't want to laugh, aye
laugh and scream don't come to the
Parmelc theatre next Friday evening
February 25.
"The Man From Mexico", in which
the popular Grew Company will
appear at the Parmelc theatre, has
made people laugh from end of the
continent to the other. The play
was written for that purpose, and from
the success of the comedy, it's quite
evident that the authors ambitions
wore realized.
It was the part of Benjamin Fitz
hugh in II. A. Du Seuchet's master
piece that brought William Collier
into prominence, and the success
which this well known comedian
enjoyed is. evident to every theatre
That the play retains its
wonderful drawing power on the
American public was proven last
summer, when the comedy was re
vived with great success in New
York and run the entire season to
record breaking business.
The play has been well cast and
all the members of the Grew Company
w 11 appear to advantage. Mr. Grew
will essay the role of the "Man".
Miss Marie Tettes the new leading
lady and well known to Omaha
audiences will appear as Clementine
Fitzhugh, Taylor Bennett, Sheriff
Cook, Lloyd Ingraham, Col. Roderic

U. was entertained at tho home
of Mrs, L. A. Moore. It being

to the rooms
It was a meeting of the department
of Mercy and Help, led by Mrs.
Knee and Miss Arnold The present
crusade against the barbarous torture
of animals in the laboratory was dis
cussed. Such acts show that while
this generation is more refined than
any of the past, we are no better at
heart than our savage ancestors.
A vocal solo w.is sung by Mr. Moore
with much expression, and a pano
solo by Miss Helen Gass, enlivened
the program, The ladies also much
enloyed the instrumental music by
Mr. Hopping. Tho rooms were fixed
with time llags and other national

as well as the interest in fraternal
insurance.
He was Saved.
The Journal took a polecat fit
last night over an ad which appeared
in the Daily News Monday in effect
that a man who read the News was
cured of the drink habit. After a
man has been driven to strong drink
by reading the Journal it is a grand
thing to be able to read such good
things in the News that the hopeless
victim will be turned from his down-
waid course. Of course it hasn't
had any such olYei't on the Journal
man yet, lor Here are tunes when
the Pest uodi'''ne will not work on
extreme oases, but there s yet a hope.
The good old hymn reads "As long
as the lamp holds out to burn the
v:ltst sinner may leturn'nnd so a
continued perusal of good literature
may yet place our tomb struck brother
on his feet. Speed the day.
Held School ol Instruction.
Robert French of Kearney, state
lecturer for the Masonic fraternity,

intense interest to the large number
of masons who attended the five

is one of the best posted masons in
the state ami his visit to the local
lodge will prove of lasting benefit.
He left this morning for other points

TY COBB'S BROTHER
WITH LINCOLN TEAM.
Don Despain Lands Paul Cobb
Brother of the Noted Ball -Player.
Fans up in Lincoln are feeling
pretty good over the prospects of
a great ball club for that city tho
coining season. The State Journal
prints the following which will nrob-
ably be interesting dope for Platts
mouth lovers of the game who aro
also interested in the Lincoln team
on account of it being owned by Cass
county boys:
"President Despain of the Lincoln
club, returned from Chicago enthused
over the splendid renorta reaehinir
- r
nni concerning new players secured
by him as members of tho Antelopes
of 1910. Tom Fairweather of Sioux
City related to the Lincoln magnate
that Harry Welch, Sioux City's third
baseman for the past two years, had
told him that he (Welch) had played
two seasons in the same lonmin n
Diek James, who is to cover second
for the Antelopes, and that James is
a high grade ball player in every de
partment of the game and would
prove a valuable man for Lincoln.
Jack Honricks, Denver's new manager
who has all the earmarks of a success
ful field marshal, assured President
Despain that Wilkie Clarke, Lincoln's
new bnckstoppor, was ono of the
best catchers in minor league ball;
that ho had seen Clarke in action
with Grand Rapids iii the Central
league last season and that the Lincoln
management made no mistake when
it secured Clarks's release from Toledo.
A letter from Phil Kcmcr, with tho Des
Moines champions of last year but
drafted by the Chicago Sox, advised
President Dcepain that Fred Owen,
signed by Lincoln for a tryout at the
third sack or the infield, is a top
notchcr in fielding and a wonder at
tho bat. Kemer and Owen played
ball together at Trinidad, Col., in
1909, being members of the champion
semi-pro team of Colorado, and Kcr
ner says he has not tho least doubt
that Owen will more than make good
with the Antelopes. Des Moines was
after Owen, on Kerncfs advice, but
