The elegant country home of Mr.
and Mr. R. I Propst at Mynard,
waB the scene of a delightful sopho
more class party last evening. For
the occasion the charming rooms of
the Propst home had been thrown
open and every effort made to show
them a fine time. The sophomore3

carryalls and had a fine time from
tbe time they started until their re
turn to this city early this morn
ing. They were well supplied with
class yells and songs and with these
the residents along the way were re
minded that there was something
doing. Just prior to their departure
from this city, a number of the sopho
mores captured Miss Johnston as she
was on her way to a dinner party
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E.
Gass and forced her to accompany
them.
Various games and music were
Indulged in and these made the few
Bhort hours Just fly. Each amuse
ment was entered into with much in
terest and enthusiasm and produced
considerable merriment. The Jolly
sophomores had come well armed
with "eatins" and during the evening
a most delicious luncheon was pre
pared and which was served at a
welcome hour. After extending their
heartiest thanks to Mr. and Mrs.
Propst and their son for their kind
hospitality and for the splendid en
tertainment af'orded, the sopho
mores returned to this city, all re
porting a most excellent time.

And Will Be Compelled to Take
Treatment sn Asylum
Jerome Andrus, marshal of C.reen
wood town last evening arrived In the
city with Sam Thomas who had be
come Intoxicated In that town, an old
failing of that gentleman. .Some
time since Samuel became well lit
after he was out on parole and had
narrowly escaped being incarcerated
in the inebriate ward at Lincoln, and
In that melee he was joined by tow
conferrees and they raised merry
caln in the town. Marshal Andrus
who is some man, essayed to stop
the riot and came near being beaten
up In so doing. Later the other two
men were taken in by the sheriff
and brought to this city where they
were swatted with some of Judge
Archer's celebrated brand of Justice
and caused to pry themselves loose
from many shekels. At that time
Thomas made a getaway and hied
him to the cornfields which are some
plentiful In and about Greenwood
town and here he remained until yes
terday when his thirst rose and re
fused to be Blacked unless it was
with beer or red eye. Hence he
wandered into the town unmindful of
the baleful eye of Marshal Andrus.
And Samuel proceeded to fill him
self with lightning rod juice until
his eyes came near flying out on the
pavement and his tongue clave to
his mouth and refused to work. Then
did the wrath of Jerome rise and he
called up Sheriff Qulnton and asked
if he should bring Sam In under the
old complaint. Ye sheriff laughed
with great glee, and said "Rring
Im on" and Jerome did as bid. He
will probably be put away until the
Insanity commission issues an order
to him to go to the Inebriate house
at Lincoln and tako some treatment
for It. This will likely be done next
week. In the meantime Jerome savs
he has more grief than any one hu
man being In Cass county. Lincoln
and llavelock are the bane of his
life and off of one train from those
villages he took sixty-four very dry
and thirsty parties. Rut Jeromo Is
the man of the hour. If they don't
bo good every man lack of them
will ride down and occupy cells In
the county jail. In the meantime
Justice Hand Is getting rich on fees
from the jag business.
KuU-rtain Friends.
Chris Mockenhaupt and wife and
Postmaster H. A. Schneider and wife
entertained several guest3 during the
commencement exercises including
Henry Mockenhaupt and wife, Mrs.
Jurgensen and Mrs. Shady, all of
Sterling, Neb. They departed this
morning for their home, being ac
companied by Miss Ethel Schneider
who was one of tbe graduates and
who will make her home In the fu
ture with Mr. and Mrs. Mocken
haupt, and Miss Clara Mockenhaupt
of this city who will pay a brief visit
to them.

Prisoner Decamp.
County Attorney Ramsey returned
last evening from Louisville where
he had gone to investigate a bastardy
case which was to have been heard
in that city that day. After listen
ing to the stories of the parties to
the matter he concluded a more Be
rlous charge would He against the
young man who was In the custody
of the constable and he had him
lodged In the city lockup. No hear
ing was had In the bastardy matter
as the girl In the case was not In a
condition to attend court.
From what Is learned of the case
It would appear that Virgil Dele-
zeno, a young man of that town, had
been guilty of Illicit intercourse with
one Annie McNelley, a fourteen year
old girl, daughter of Frank McNee
ley of that place, the offense taking
place along in August or September
of last year. As a 'result a child
was born to the girl on May 11.
Under the statutes of this state this
offehse constitutes rape and the
county attorney decided to file a
complaint.
Last night Delezene took French
leave of the city jail and made his
way out, departing for parts un
known. This morning the county
attorney filed a complaint before
County Judge Reeson charging Dele
zene with rape and a warrant was
at once issued and delivered to the
sheriff for service. Sheriff Qulnton
at once departed for the country and
will make every effort to locte the
man. The bearing on the bastardy
charge had been continued until to
morrow (Saturday) morning
Depart This Evening to Remain
Until After September 1 .
Matthew Gering departs this even
ing for an extended tour of Europe
expecting to be gone until after
September first. Mr. Gerlng goes
directly from here to the continent
and will make his first stop at
Rologna, Italy, where he will spend
some little time with his uncle, Herr
Leonhard Kluftinger, German coun-
sul to Rome, Venice, Genoa and other
of the famous cities of the peninsula
and look upon their marvels once
again, he having been a visitor there
several times before. He expects to
spend some time in Germany after
leaving Italy and will attend the
world-renowned Passion play at Ob
ermmagau, one of the greatest sights
this age vouchsafes to man. In all
the history of dramatic art there is
nothing ranked with the Passion
play as given at this German vil
lage and this is really the lodestone
which takes Mr. Gering to the con
tinent. He will also visit most of
the other points of Interest' in the
empire and hia headquarters will be
with relatives In Ravarla. He ex
pects to also visit Paris during his
sojourn abroad and to see the sights
of that most delightful of cities.
En route home he will visit England,
making his headquarters in London
and from that city, Invading the
provinces and seeing tbe sights which
that historic land has to yield. From
London he will go to Edinburgh and
spend some weeks in the land of the
Scots, attending upon the historic
scenes and the beautiful landscapes
of tho Scottish highlands. He will
also very probably visit Ireland and
see the principal scenes of Interest
and beauty in the green isle. He
expects to leave Europe very shortly
after September first and come dl
rectly to this city. The tour is an
extensive one and is to be made in a
leisurely manner greatly enhancing
its value and adding to the enjoy
ableness of it. His many good old
friends wish him bonvoyage and trust
for his safe and happy return.
Work Progressing.
Work on moving the poles of the
Nebraska Telephone Company on
Chicago avenue Is being pushed to
completion and should be done with
In a few days. This clears the field
for grading work, and It Is the ex
pectatlon of Councilman Will that
he can get his forces to the work on
next Monday at that part of the pro
Ject. The progress of the work will
be rapid from now on, and before
great while it Is hoped to be started
on the macadamizing. The Indica
tions now are that there will be rock
on this avenue before the summer
months have much more. than start
ed, and that the fall rains will them
selves up against it when they seek
to bog down the road. It Is a big
step ahead and Its progress is watch
ed with much interest by the citizens
and those outside alike.
