The la thes who appeared in the second part of the program, the simple men tion of their names is sutlicient to con vince those who know them that their parts were most admirably performed. They were Misses Nell Hopping, Klia leth lovev, Florence White. Edna Marshall, Clara Sheet, and MissMais laml. of Lincoln. While they all did remarkably well special mention is de served by Miss Marsland, whose sintf inT was simply rand, as well as her irracelul attitude upon thestatre. Miss Kdna Marshall, while well known to most of Hie citizens of I'lattsmoutb, was one whose part in the entertain ment was wi II taken, and whose voice? is most remarkable, and she seems to handle it with ease. Her pronuncia tion is clear, and. all in all. she is a so loist of which riattsmouth people should reel proud. Will JJutler and Miss Catherine Ioey captured the audience with a most excellent sonjf and dance. The sonr and dance by Misses Hoppin; and Elizabeth Dovey was one that elicited jrreat applause, it behitf rendered in such a manner as to simply fascinate the audience. "A Hark Keininscence." was well done by a trio of ladies who perhaps pre- f erred keeping their names "In the dark" also, as no clue to their identity men are masters of this kind of work, and deserve great credit for the part they played. It would not be at all proper to fail to mention the paits taken by Messrs Carl Kit ter and Frank Dunlop, the two well known story tellers of Omaha, who assisted very materially in the evening's enjoyment. They are most certainly masters of the art. The program w as a very lengthy one, and everything was carried out to the letter. Every I tody was satistied and praised the entertainment throughout ! nust highly These annual entertain ments given by the Elks are becoming more popular every year, as the large numlier who were turned away Tues day night unable to get seats fully de li' tcs.

Otoe county promises to join Cass and Sarpy next year if this proves a bit; success, and now every citizen should do his or her duty to make it such. An Illustrated Farm Atlas. The I'ruiin-Scoville Publishing Co., engravers and topographical engineers of Des Moines, Iowa, are contemplat ing a complete set of plates of Cass county, that if completed will far ex cell anything yet published. No pains w ill be spared and all detail will be en tered into to make the work thorough ly accurate and reliable. A similar work was published by them of Doug las and Sarpy counties in 18S9, and in 1!M)J. The field work was completed for a publication of Lancaster county. Cass county needs just such a work, and we hope it can be brought to a successful issue. Young Man Shot. Schuyler Kellogg, a young man about 2S years of age, while out hunt ing wolves, near Greenwood, on Satur day last received a severe wound, from the accidental discharge of a forty eight calller rllle, which he w as using. The ball entered the left arm a little above the elbow, ranging upward and backward, coming out through the shoulder shattering the bone and making a very bad wound. Medical aid was summoned at once, the wound properly dressed, and the wounded man conveyed to a hospital at Lincoln. Preliminary Examination. William Shephard, the manaccussed of attempting to rob the Missouri Pa cific railroad safe in Weeping Water, had his preliminary examination be fore Judge Archer on Friday last and was bound over to the next term of the district court in the sum of $1,000. Failing to furnish the required bond he languishes in jail. Commissioners Meet. P 1. aits m out it, Neb., April 21, ltxKi. Hoard met. All present. Minutes j of the last session read and approved.

The supreme court on the 22nd handed down a decision in the case of the Modern Woodmen of America against Coleman, in which the judg ment of the district court has been affirmed. This case in several important aspects marks a new departure in the law of fraternal insurance, holding in effect, that where the Kiitmrdinate officers of a local lodge know that any or its members have been engaged, or are engaged in a prohibited occupation, and continue with such knowledge to accept, dues and assessments, that the head lodge is liound thereby ami can not escaH; liability. This case was once affirmed by the supreme court and upon the application of the Modem Woodmen of America, a re hearing was allowed and upon a re argument of the cause, the former opinion was adhered to. This case establishes the principal which has been denied by the United States courts. The plaintiff in the case is Asa Cole man, who is an old resident of this county, and was represented in the district and supreme court by Judge S. M. Chapman and Matthew tiering, while the defendant was represented by J. (J. Johnson, of Peabody, Kansas, J. W. White, of Rockford, Illinois, and A. It. Talbot, of Lincoln, Nebraska. Returned to the Asylum. Mrs. Jesse Karnes, of this county, who was recently paroled from the in sane asylum at Lincoln, was conveyed back to that institution last Sunday. She was examined by the insanity board last November. Her home was in Wabash, but at the time she was adjudged insane was stopping at Greenwood. At the asylum she im proved to the extent that she was paroled and allowed to return home. A few days ago she went to Union for a visit with relatives. Saturday eve ing she boarded a Missonri Pacitic freight train at that place and came to I'lattsmoutb for the purpose, she said, of getting divorced from her husband. On the way to this city, it is said, she drove the trainmen from the way-car and had full possession of that portion of the train until the end of her destination was reached. The otlicers here, were notified, but as the train got in a little ahead of time (about supper time) when they arrived at the depot they discovered Mrs. Karnes going west as fast as she could walk. The woman was soon over taken and brought back to the city. The poor woman seemed perfectly willing to go anywhere but Green wood. Another Enterprise. Prof. A. L. Lesseman came to this city a few weeks over a year ago, and opened the Plattsmouth Normal and Business College, and by his excellent qualities has succeeded in building up an institution that is a credit to the city and surrounding country. The increase in the number of attendants has been so great that his present quarters in the Waterman block have become entirely too small to accomo date the rapidly increasing business of the school. It has arrived at that point when it becomes necessary for Mr. Lesseman to provide larger quart ers for Ids institute of learning. To carry this object into execution, he proposes by the aid of those citizens w ho desire to have a college building erected here in Plattsmouth, to put up one that will beacredit to the city and add tone to our people. When he arrived, and opened h:s present school he started out with but very few scholars, but the number soon in creased to forty, tiftyand sixty and to day the attendance numbers eighty tive toolarge to handle properly in his present location. While the professor lias some means to invest in a build ing for his school, he does not possess a sufficient amount to erect such an one as would be an ornament to the city and which would be sufficiently large to teach many other branches that has been heretofore omitted on account of a proper building. Prof. Lesseman has been in Plattsmouth long enough for our people to learn that at the head of an institution of this character he is the "right man in the right place." . In order to induce those, who have an interest in sucli enterprises, to lend their assistance, the professor proposes to issue scholar, ships at $."iu each, redeemable in a certain number of years, and dispose of these in numbers as those who feel like lending such aid "may desire. The Journal is f the opinion that enough of these scholarships could be disposed of in riattsmouth and imme diate vicinity to make a success of the venture. Already one of our citizens has signified his willingness to pur chase sis, and there should be many other merchants, business and pro fessional men follow his example. What say our citizens? Convalescing. A little daughter was born to Prof, and Mrs. M. A. Sams last Sunday. Mother and child doing nicely, and Mr. Sams, it is thought, will be able to return to Louisville about Sunday.

The Lincoln Star, in summing up what is being done in real estate mat ters in eastern Nebraska, says: "In Gage county the farmers are buy ing more land, making improvements and otherwise enhancing the value of the farms. Mortgages show an in crease of $108,276 in the last three months. Real estate transfers have been numerous. "Mortgage indebtedness, in the rural districts of Lancaster county, has in creased steadily during the last three months. In the city mortgage filings there lias been a decrease in the same period. The total increase has been $123, .777. Real estate transfers have been more spirited than at any time in the history of the country. "In Cass county the mortgage indebt edness has increased I22,iKWj In three months. The real estate transfers have been numerous and the prices have been exceptionally good. Farm ers have purchased adjacent property and fci ven a mortgage to secure the bal ance due. Farms are being greatly improved. "Nemaha is one of the Nebraska counties that cannot show a decrease in its indebtedness, the increase apparen tly due ito the fact that many citizens are buying homes of their own and se curing money from building and loan associations. The total excess of mort gages tiled over those released for the first three months of this year is $70, 7(H). "In Otoe county the total amount of mortgages tiled during the three months ending March 31, 1903, is $390, 79,93 and the total amouuut released, $314,0.7.80, making an increase in the county of $70,1 1 1.23. For the same pe riod last vearthe amount of mortgages tiled footed up $314,837.28 and the releases amounted to $248,800,03, maic ingan increaseof $03,997.25 in the three months. These seemingly large in creases in the mortgagesin Otoe coun ty are caused by the activity in real es tate and the increasing number of farmers who are desirous of owning their own property. The number of tenant farmers in this county, though never large, is steadily decreasing, es pecially in the last few years of good crops and good prices. "While real estate transactions are not so brisk during the other months, as a rule, show sufficient paying off of mortgages to show a substantial de crease each year." Bound Over, John Greeson and Harvey Lovelady were given a prelimary examination before Judge Kroehler Saturday on the charge of robbery, and were bound over to the district court in the sum of $300 each, and in default of w hich were remanded back to jail, where they will remain until the next term of court. These are the boys who robbed Mrs. Chambers, Greeson's mother-in-law, of $70. Do Yoa Want Horses? Eight good, all purpose horses-rwork single or double, for sale.

The I'lattsmoutb Woman'sclub met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I5en Kl son, on Friday night last and as is usual with all such entertainments given by the ladies, was one of enjoy ment. The program consisted of recita tions by Misses Ellen Windham and Violet Dodge and vocal and instrumen tal music. Mildred Johnson sang a song entitled "Mr. Pawnbroker," which was quite well done, consider ing the lit tle lady was not much larger than the doll she carried in her arms. The ladies quartett rendered a most beautiful selection. The quartett composed of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Moore and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson also fur nished some charming music. Miss Clara Street sang several solos, which are always enjoyed. Mr. Matthew Geringdelivered a talk on the "Pictures of the Vatican," which was indeed the most interesting feature of the occasion. Evidently Mr. Gering's time spent in Europe was with eyes fully wide open, as his talk on this subject would fully denote. His gift of oratory is always very impressive on his hearers. The eve ning's program as a whole was well received by those present. G. A. R. Meeting. At the meeting of McConihie Post, on Saturday evening last, arrange ments were perfected for observing Decoration day. Union services will be held at the Presbyterian church on Sunday previous to decoration day. At this meeting of the post W. T. Melvin was elected as delegate and V. V. Loenard alternate to tbe department encampment at Fremont, May 13. The following past post commanders were declared as delegates by reason of their positions: Judge S. M. Chapman, J. W. Johnson. II. J. Streight, James Hickson, M. A. Dixon, A. 15. Todd, Thomas Wiles and II. W. I lyres. It was the request of the post that the delegation support Judge Lee Estelle of Omaha, for department commander. A Leader in His Profession. Dr. Henry Lehnhotr, of Lincoln, was In the city a few hours Saturday, visiting his Uncle Fred and other relatives and friends, among whom was Conrad Schlater. Dr. Lehnhoff is a son of Henry Lehnhoff, of College Hill, to which point he went on the evening train to spend Sunday with father and mother on the farm w here he spent his childhood. Dr. Lehnhoff tirst graduated from the Nebraska university, and then from one of the leading medical colleges at Chicago. He is today one of the leading physi cians in Nebraska, and his practice is so great that he is unable to remain away for any length of time. Hut, like every loving son, father and mother must U seen occasionally. Inheritance Tax. In the county court Saturday Mrs. Nellie Pray and Miss Estell McCiintic, heirs of the estate of the late Samuel McCiintic, deceased, wtre assessed. undev h-ovisiotof the inheritance tax aw ctf Ihe state,, the sum of J91.25. The amount was paid and turned over to. the county treasurer, 1 I Vc have the follow ing proposition to olTcr the puhlio: "Ten of the mer chants in the city have entered into an aice ment to offer a 2 per cent discount coupon, on all cash purchases, redcemahlc in merchai v dise at any of the store; who have entered the agreement, their names appearing on the hack' of the coupon issued, Kl plainly designating where they will he re deemed." This is quite an item to you and certainly is worth looking into, as it represents a saving of 2 cents on every dol lar. Call in and let us explain it moreftillv. " mm SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP. Cured by One Bottle of Charnberlain's Cough Rernedy. 'When I bad an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chaui Ijcrlain's Oxigh Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortville, N. Y. "Thisis the honest truth. I at times kept from cough ing myself to pieces by taking a tea spoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing sjicll would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and Its ac companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that ft would or couid knock out the grip, simply because I never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and It seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only to be of late duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I Iiad not used the contents of one lxtl le before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain csntlnually hi back arid sides, noappetite. growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric I Jitters; to my great joy the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I knov they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fall to try them. Only 50 cents, guaran teed, at F. G. Fricke & Co's. A Big Suit. Frank Iluber in the name of his son, George, has brought suit against the R. & M. railroad for $25,ooo damages for the loss of a foot, which wascut off by the train in the yards here some time ago.

Mr. Goring' abili ty as a lawyer is pretty well known all over the state of Nebraska, and is now engaged in some of the largest suits in the courts of the state. More Riots. Disturbances of strikers are not nearly as grave as an individual dis order of the system. Ovt rwork, loss of sleep, nervous tension will be followed by utter collapse, unless a reliable remedy is immediately employed.
