evening at Coates' hall, the occasion
being made a memorable one by the
council. The program which had
betn prepared for the occasion was
one of the best ever presented in the
city and all attending were highly
gratified at It. There were many
present as Invited guests who were
not members of the order and each
of them came away with a feeling
that it was an excellent institution
to hold membership in and doubtless
most of them will find it convenient
to add their names thereto.
The attendance was very flattering,
especially of lodge members, all of
whom took great interest in the pro
per observance of the anniversary of
the council.
The program was given immedlate

at 8 o'clock. Hon. J. E. Douglass,
president of the local council, pre
sided and mtade an excellent and
efficient presiding officer. The open
ing number upon a program of rare

pianists of the city. Mr. Whelan is a

well received by the audience.
The Swedish Trio gave a number
of instrumental selections which more
than pleased the large audience. The
trio is composed of Messrs. K. W.
fcavogren, C. T. Kron and Gub Erlck
non who play the harp, violin and
triangle, making some music which
is most excellent and of high quality.
Their several selections last evening
were received with hearty applause
by the audience and merited the
popularity which they enjoyed. These
three gentlemen received their musi
cal training in Sweden and it
been thorough' and of high grade.
They were a distinct surprise to the
larger part of those attenditg last
night and a most pleasant onet .'
Miss Loraine Emery of Lincoln,
Neb., was down on the program for
a piano solo and proved one of the
star numbers of the evening. Miss
Emery is a daughter of, Mr. and Mrs.
Bd. Emery, well known in this city
and a niece ' of Mrs. C. M. Parker
of this city. She is a most charming
and accomplished young lady and a
pianist of much more than ordinary
ability and her number last evening
was highly appreciated.
Miss Marie Douglass who is a pop
ular favorite of this city where her
elocutionary talents are so well
lightfully entertaining readings and
as it is always the case, she was re
ceived with unbounded admiration.
Mrs. Ralrd is a reader whose ability
fits her to appear before any audience
and this fact certainly seemed to be
appreciated last evening Judging by
the reception accorded her number.
A bass solo by B. A. McElwaln, one
of the city's most superb singers, was
another pleasing feature of the even
ing and it served as a splendid close
to an evening which had been a verit
able feast of excellent numbers. Mr.
McElwaln was in good voice and his
number served to win wide applause.
'Among those from abroad who
were pressed into service to ajd in
entertaining the council and its guests
was Miss Mattle Tiller of Hamburg,
la., who is in the city making a visit
with her classmate, Miss Ellen Wind
ham. Miss Tiller is a reader of rare
ability and great power and last
evening she scored a magnificent hit
with the people of Plattsmouth who
were fortunate enough to hear her.
'Her number was remarked by nearly
everyone present to be fully as fine
as any heard now or henceforward.
Miss Tiller has a personality which
charmed the audience and has a
stage presence which renders her
reading a constant delight.
The speaking of the evening In
eluded an address upon the order by
Mrs. Gertrude Clark, national conduc
tor. Mrs. Clark is a finished speak
er and has the facts of the Knights
and Ladles at her tongue's end. She
spoke at length last evening upon the
progress of the order and the brilliant
future which it has before it. Her
recommendations for steps which will
further advance the good of the order

heard the testimony expected.
The taking of testimony concluded
about 3:30 yesterday afternoon, the.
plaintiff taking the stand after the
noon recess and completing his story
of the happenings the night he was
injured. The story did not differ in
detail from what had been testified
to by other witnesses and related
merely to the details of the accident.
In addition to his testimony there
was the testimony of Dr. J. S. Liv
ingston who performed the operation
by which the foot of the plaintiff was
removed. Dr. Livingston testified to
the circumstances surrounding the
amputation, the condition of the
plaintiff at the time, to his having
been called while the plaintiff was
still pinioned between the engine and
the tank and to having administered
morphine to plaintiff to alay the pain
while the workmen were engaged in
Jacking up the engine to extricate
plaintiff from his position. Dr. Liv
ingston made the principal medical
witness for the plaintiff as he was the
surgeon who had charge of the case,
Dr. E. W .Cook also testified to
the effects of such an injury as plain
tiff had Buffered and to the extent
to which it incapacitated htm. Dr
Cook also was a leading medical wit
ness for the plaintiff and his testi
mony materially aided in establishing
the effects of such an injury on the
earning power of the plaintiff
Dr. Hall s testimony was very

of great ability. . He is considered
one of the best versed men in this

After locating the team that he had
lost at Elmwood Fred Creamer yes
terday evening lost track of them
again, even after he had his eyes
on them and had-identified them.
i This time it was Deputy Sheriff Jas.
Dawson that took the horses out of
his sight. The sheriff's office was
closed and Ceramer did not succeed
in locating them. While he was at
the police station getting an officer
to go with him to the Capital City
barn Deputy Sheriff Dawson heard
that the horses were at that barn
and hurrying to the barn took the
team Into his care as an officer of the
law. When Officer Barrett and tho
Creamer brothers went to tho barn
a few minutes later intending to
Identify the team and ask the proprie
tor of the barn If he would give them
up without a writ of replevin, they
found the team gone. Inquiry re
vealed the fact that the deputy sher
iff had been at the barn and had
taken the horses. Mr. Creamer had
come In in the morning and having
found his horses at the barn went to
the police station to report what he
had found. But In the meantime the
deputy sheriff got word of the affair
and got ahead of the police in getting
the team. Chief Malone happened to
be riding on a street car when he saw
Deputy Sheriff Dawson driving the
team rapidly down K Btreet. He call
ed the police captain and playfully
told htm that the finding of the team
by the police had come to naught as
the horses were again at large. The
foreman of the stables said that the
team had been purchased from a man
in Lincoln, but he would not disclose
the name. Sheriff Hoagland said late

W. C. T. U. Entertained.
On Monday afternoon the W. C.

Mrs. I A. Moore. It being the eve
of Feb. 22, the guests were received
by "Lady Washington" with the char
acteristic hospitality of the olden time
and a fine portrait of Washington
lent a patriotic air to the rooms.
It was a meeting of the "Depart
ment of Mercy and Help," led by Mrs.
Knee and Miss Arnold. The subject
of vivisection was considered at
length. The present crusade against
the barbarous tortues of animals in
the laboratory has shows that while

that the amount asked was excessive
and that if the plaintiff did not
exercise the prope- amount of care
while In his. position as fireman, he
should not recover. He also argued
at length that if the jury believed the
plaintiff did exercise the proper
amount of care in hia duties then
the jury should not be swayed by
sympathy but should render a verdict
for what the evidence showed to be
the probable reasonable amount of
damages.
Mr. Qerlng closed for the plaintiff
and made a powerful argument in
his behalf citing his age, his condi
tion as the result of the accident and
urging that he be given recompense
commensurate with the loss of a foot
His argument was pointed toward
working upon the natural feeling of
the jury and was quite effective as the,
verdict showed.
The Instructions of Judge Travis
were read to the jury and were a
fair exposition of the law of the case,
touching the several legal points
raised by counsel for the plaintiff and
the defendant railroad company.
The jury commenced Its delibera
tions after having supper and was
in consultation for several hours be
fore determining the amount of the
verdict, the members being unani
mous upon the point of damages for
the plalntff, but decldelly at variance
as to the amount, it being understood
that several favored a sum much In
excess of the amount finally deter
mined upon. As Judge Travis waited
until such a time as he deemed rea
sonable for the arrival of the verdict,
he instructed that whatever verdict
was finally determined upon should
be sealed up and returned into court
this morning which was done, the
verdict being read at 9' o'clock.
