Sokol hull on Saturday night. The dance was an exclusive affair there being invlta (Ions Issued to a select party of the old settlers of the city. They came dressed In the style of fifty years ago. Many of the Bohemian ladies came dressed In their bridal gowns dating back for a period of many years, fabrics rich and creamy with age. The styles were those of sev ral generations gone and were quaint and unique. The attendance was large for the Bohemians have lived In Plattsmouth and vicinity for many years and the old settlers were much In evidence. There was an abundance of fine music and all the old country dances were had to a complete satisfaction. It was as Pool Hall of James Gruber and the Implement House of J. E. Banning Destroyed The town of Union which has been suffering from a run of bad luck, last Sunday night had another stroke of misfortune when fire broke out and destroyed the two story struc ture occupied by James Gruber and family as a residence in the seco.id story and as a pool hall on the lower floor. The flames also spread to a two story frame building occupied by the Modern Woodmen as a lodge room on the second floor and by Jos eph Banning as an implement house on the first floor. The flames were discovered Just after eleven o'clock at night after Mr. Gruber and family had retired. They were aroused in time to permit of their getting away but they were unable to save anything, making their escape In their night clothes. The building was speedily reduced to ashes being a total loss. It was owned by Mr. Gruber and valued at $3,500. There was f 2,500 Insurance upon It. The Modern Woodmen lodge owned the two story structure next door and it was soon in flames. Owing to the discovery of the fire in time citizens had been able to enter this building and get out most of the lodge parpliernalia so that they will not bo heavy loaeri In that respect. The lower floor was filled with a fine stock of wagons, and farming Implements and these were speedily run out Into the street and the bulk of them Baved. His loss on stock will not be very heavy although It will amount to norm-thing at the very lowest. The building was entirely destroyed. It was valued at $2,500 and Insured for $1,000. Owing to the character of the night which was still the flames burned out without spreading further. The store of R. II. Frans was threatened with destruction but, being a brick build ing, It did not catch readily and by the use of buckets It was saved. This makes the second series of fires In that town In a few weeks and like the former one, there Is no clue as to Its origin. These two fires have made a big gap in the business section of the town. Doubtless, the buildings will soon be replaced by better structures. Komh IVud VMtorfc From Tu"slay"8 Paily. ("has. Hill and wife, Vt'ra. J. J. Hill of liehtJere.

The funeral of the late Adam Schanz, Jr., was held yesterday after noon from St. Paul's Evangelical church and was very largely attended by the many friends of this noble young man. The eortegt left the house In South Park at one o'clock and proceeded to the church where Rev. F. J. Longhorst delivered an eloquent and touching discourse up on the virtues and good works of the deceased. Rev. Longhorst adopted as his text "Rev. 14-13" and, in accord ance with the text, he made reference to the devout Christian life deceased had lead. Rev.

Having gone so far they concluded to go on to Ft. Crook and here Is where Louie's heart began to fall him. A few miles on the othe side of LaPlatte he cried with King Dick, "A horse, a horse, my king doni for a horse." But no horse was much as a scene from Bohemia as to be had and a cold cruel world these good folks met once more and smiled upon his footsore and weary renewed tho memories of the fath erland. Such parties are to be com mended as they promote the fellow ship feeling among the people. This was one of the most edlightful over here here. Laid to Rest.
