He went out to the hay stack, looked it over and thinks the holes therein were made by a dog after a rabbit and at the hotel some one was seen running away from the building. He could not find anyone who claimed to have seen the two men who could give anything like a description of them. Nebras ka City News. Ke turns from IMainview.

Peterson this morning received a letter from her husband, now at the bedside of his brother Chris, at Tflden, Neb., slating that his brother's condition was practical ly unchanged.

The ex hibition took place at the corne r of Seventh and Vine streets and was given for the instruction of the; mem bers of the council and the public generally. Tse result was a mass of varied opinions some of the spec tators favoring the arc while several favored the incandescent and a great many were more than satisfied with th? Houlevard lamp. The arc light marred the; occasion alter burning steadily for an hour or so by sud denly taking a tit of flickering air; refusing to burn longer. Efforts to get it in shape again were- un vailiuy. and were linallv abandoned. The incandescent chos mi was a thirty-two candle p-nvir lamp which was attache to a po:-t ar the :-o.;i!:-east corner of the inters-jc tiun. l! gave a very fair light of j reddish cas' Inn vi rv Jimiici Jiginiiig art .

Speck is Also Sentenced. From Saturday's Daily Judge Travis this morning" held a session at which he disposed of several of the various criminal cases pending" before him wherein no sentences had been passed. He had "Stuttering-Jim" Smith up before him for sentence. Smith is the negro who was convicted of burglarizing the house of Mrs. VV. H. Schildknecht and Judge Travis gave him a sentence of five in the penitenti ary at hard labor. Smith thanked the Judge but his thanks were not appreci ated by the Court who told him that he needn't thankthim. Walter Speck convicted by a jury of assault upon John Miller got a fine of $100 and costs, the fine being suspended during good behavior and upon Speck's promise to refrain from the use of liquor or. the frequenting of saloons. Speck's conduct for several months past was so good that.it had a favorable weight with the judge. He will have to pay the costs of the case which was appeal ed from the police court in this city where a similar sentence had been im posed. .. Miss Ktliel Leyda Surprised. .. A very pleasant surprise party was given to Miss Ethel Leyda last Saturday night by a number of her young friends, the occasion being the eighteenth birthday of the young lady. In order to make the surprise complete the young lady had been invited away to a neighbor's for supper and during h"r absence th' guests came in and took possession. For the occasion the rooms of the Leyda residence had boenhan I.-ei.i- ly decorated in red aurl whin- chrys anthemums for the table de.-oratious. When the young lady returnel home she found her unexpected guests i:i full possession of the house and her surprise was indeed complete. The evening was spent in pro gressive hearts at which the- party had exciting games. The king priz--; fell to the lot of Miss Helen Spits, who played the finest game- of th series while the consolation prize went to Esther Larson. After the games there was served by ; Mrs. Leyda a ve ry elegant three course luncheon which the party demonstrated its appreciation of in no : mistakable manner. Punch was served ; for the party by Miss Ellen Leyda and little Max Asernissen. The party did not depart until a late hour when all extended their congratula tions to the happy young lady, and wished her many raone milestones In" heit life.

The Houlevard lamp gae a fin Might, clear .uxl white and the light ling area was much larger than cither j of the others. It had the advantage? i of the arc, in that It reac hed below the trees and covered the walks while j the trees c ut down the light of tin 'arc- lamp. It was much superior to I the Incandescent lamp because of the; clearness and brilliancy of the light unci the superior lighting area. To tin- unprejudiced mind, the j boulevard lamp seems the best of t ho three for residence portions of the ;eity, where there are so many trees. 'While if is not known how the coun cil iewed die matter, a great many 'of the citizens pronou need unequivo cally for the Houlevard light. The exhibit fon was one of much worth ami every citizen hhcmld have seen it. The question of lighting the city is a serious cm-, ami one in which all have a common interest. What the public wants is th" best, everything considered, and that is what t he- council hhouhl get. A blind prejudice against any particular light should not enter into the case. If the light fill.; the bill that is what sho.ild he obtained. Fiom last night's I ?t 4 he gas lamp appears 'best for the purpose it is wanted for I but other tests might show different.

Julias Hoffman, well known in the city, returned lust Friday, after tey-.. ! eral years spent In Central and South ; America, coming direct to this city; jfrom Honduras!

Chief Wilkie of. the government secret service de- : partment sent out the alarm that a,' bad r bill is floating about' the-' country that should well be examined before taking. It is the $5 silver certificate, Indian head, of the; series of 1 S "!, -cheek letter "1)," face plate 1,14, lwk plate 7S2, W. T. Xevlns, register and Chas. H. Treat, treas urer of the United States. The certi ficate is a pu'-nominal plate on a single piece of paper with red and blue- lih.-s printed to n.-pre-se-nt tie; . looks as if that part of th" script lettering that . crosses iM. blue- v-ni and denominational character had hem filh-d by hau l.
