Sorrow fill News.
From Saturday's Daily
The very sad news reached P. F.
Buffner this morniii--; over the phone
that his daughter, Mrs Dr. Roy
Dodge, whose illness was reported
in these columns several days since,
was much worse and it would be nec
essary to have her taken to the hos
pital for an operation. He departed
at once for Omaha to be present. It
is a matter of regret to state that
small hopes are entertained of her
surviving the operation owing to her
weakened condition tind that it is
a last resort. This news will be re
ceived in profound sorrow by her
many friends in this city and vicinity
where she was so widely known and
beloved. It is hoped that the fore
boding will prove unfounded and that
she may after all recover.

Two years ago the company sur
veyed a proposed route over the river
which would make a material change
n the line and would have carried
he tracks over a bridge higher above
the water and at a place where the
bend in the river would not have
proved such a source? of danger to
that structure. At that time it was
made, but the spending of money to
raise the present grades above flood
thought that the change might be
loved along the river bottom and at
the foot of the bluffs is taken as evi
dence that the new survey for a cross
ing has not been approved.
It is claimed that when the grade is
raised two feet at the foot of the
bluffs no ordinary Platte river flood
will be high enough to wash over the
tracks, and if well ballasted the one
matter left to concern the manage
ment will be the bridge over the
river itself.

From Saturday's Dally
Last evening Miss Edna Wray en
tertained a number of her young
friends with a party. There was a
highly enjoyable time had, the eye
ing being spent in games and with
music. Jennings Seiver favored the
gathering with a number of vocal so
los which were greatly appreciated by
all.
The charming hostess had prepared
a two course luncheon which was
served the party at a late hour after
which the happy guests departed for
their homes, having spent one of the
happiest evenings it had been their
lot to share for some time.
Those attending were Misses Mollie
Seiver, Pearl Allen, lone Keiser, Delia

Hazel Tuey, Myrtle Hall, Messrs.
Jennings Seiver, Edward Kelley,' Jes

Judge I-ippimott.
From Saturday's I tally
Judge Lippincott of Ashland, a
brother-in-law of YV. H. Miller, of
this city, came down this morning on
Xo. 4 to make a visit with that gen
tleman and his family. Judge Lip
pincott is one cf the opposite politi
cal faith from Mr. Miller, but he is a
very fine gentleman, nevertheless.
He paid this office a very pleasant call
this morning and one much appre
ciated. For twenty-four years Judge
Lippincott has been a justice of the
peace at Ashland where he has cre
ated himself a reputation as a terror
to evil doers. He recently had a fine
horse stolen from him by one Virgil
King mentioned of whose pursuit and
capture by the judge recently was
made in this paper. King plead
guilty at the preliminary examination
and will doubtless be given a severe
sentence.
A 6ERHJIHE rail-
mi FOR LIGHT
Also ?cr Ps&'er for
tries Thai Slay KeoeS
From Tluu-Mlay's daily
The Journal is happy to inform
its many readers that there at last
appears to be a chance for obtaining
light for the city. Supt. A. Clay
baugh yesterday made a trip to
Omaha where he had smother con
sultation with the officers of the
Nebraska Lighting Company, as a
result of which he now feels that he
is in a position to make the city a
better contract than ever. Not only
does the making of a contract moan
day power for the operation of in
dustries but it means a substantial
increase in the machinery and plant
of the local company.
While the exact terms of the con
tract cannot now be stated, if be
ing still in the rough, the purport
of the contract is a live year con
tract for street lights at rates con
siderably below those of any pre
vious offer. For the residence dis
trict it is proposed to furnish an all
night gas service of superior qualiiv
for the sum of twenty-nine dollars
per year per lamp. For the bus
iness district eight lL'Oo an ile power
are lights are to bo installed at a cf ,-t
of ninety dollars per year per Hole,
this to lie inidrii'ihi. service, a : :
vice ample for the city on a ;,;,);.,

dei;(e circuits, the propose, i ji ;,it

that they alone will, lake pi.tci-ally
lie guarantee power. To secure t h
;ert'crman e of this contract the com
pany agrees to furnish a surety
company bond in the sum of ten
thousand dollars.
To make it possible for this ser
vice as proposed the company will
expend a large sum of money. Just
the moment the contract is assured
there will be commenced improve
ments upon the plant which will en
large its. capacity until every bit of
the power contracted for can be ab
solutely given. It will not be guess
work. The new machinery which
will be installed will be of the latest
model two-phase, sixty cycle kind.

machineiy which will bo thoroughly
up to diit.e and capable nf maintain
ing tin' power for years to cone-. This
will also necessitate tin- installation
of a ir.tr II. P. boiler which the
company has taken an option upon
pending the settlement of this light
ing proposition. The installation of
this boiler means a general change in
the lines an.l transformers all over
the system and is quite expensive but
the making of the contract means
till this. And the instruction given
Supt. Claybaugh states that this can
all be put into the contract with the
city so that they must do as they
say they will.
The roasoii for desiring the con
tract before the machinery is put in
is that there. will be no necess-ity for
a -change every few years Such in
brief is an outline of the now propos
al. That it is far bettor than the
Bortenlanger proposition everyone
must admit. In the first place this
proposal is made by the people who
are already here and tin-re is no
doubt of their ability to p rform
what tiny agree to do. If there was

of pov.er means that this in-lustry
will be a sui i-ess and not only that
but that other industries will fol

When the matter was discussed t he
other night at the council mooting,
those of the (itix.et's who expressed
themselves declared that they want
ed power with light and now is t he
opportunity. It was asserted then
that industriis had been driven away
from the city because of lack of
power and if that, was the case there
is now an epport unity to remedy
the defect an.l make industries suc
cessful here.
It will be several days yet before he
will be able to return to his work.
It is to be hoped that the hard luck
which has pursued him has now left
him for good and that he will have
no more trouble in the future.
In justice court this morning Jus
tice Archer was kept busy issuing:
subpoenas for the state in the case
of the State vs. Ossenkop which will
be for preliminary hearing on the
19th inst. The state has subpoe
naed some fourteen witnesses while
it is probable the defense will also
have some although they may simply
content themselves with having the
state put its side of the case before
the court. The preliminary will
doubtless be quite interesting. Coun
ty Attorney Hawls and County Attorney-elect
Ramsey will appear for the
state while Matthew Goring will rep
resent the defendant.
An Ovcrviglit.
Quite inadvertently the work of
John Brandon, the plasterer, was left
out of the article in the Journal the
other evening, concerning the new
house of Henry Born. Mr. Brandon's
work was one of the best features of
the house. The walls are hard fin
ished, as white and spotless as the
snow and the happy owners are more
than pleased with Mr. Brandon's
work. He has been engaged in other
work in the neighborhood including
work at Mr. Nolting's and all who
have employed him have expressed
thmselves as thoroughly satistied.
