From Saturday's Dally.
Mrs. Henry Ofe had invited
nuumber of her lady friends to
come to tier pleasant, home yes
terday afternoon to assist her in
properly commemorating her
birthday anniversary. While the
afternoon's entertainment was in
progress Mrs. Ofe was most com
pletely surprised when a number
of her lady friends walked m on
her. Mrs. Ofe had no idea that
the ladies hail been planning so
pleasant a surprise in honor of
this most auspicious event, her
birthday anniversary, and so when
the invaders came in on her she
was at once taken by surprise, but
soon recovered and proceeded to
entertain her guests in a royal
manner. The afternoon hours
were most delightfully spent,
there being several games of
cards played, which were inter
spersed with various amuse
ments and other games, while
sociability reigned supreme. Mrs.
Ofe had prepared one of her love
ly lunches and the invaders hail
brought the necessary fixings for
a nice lunch and these lunches
were combined and at. a con
venient hour an elegant luncheon
was served. At a late hour in the
evening the guests dispersed, aft
er having extended their con
gratulations and best wishes to
the hostess for more anniver
saries, and Mrs. Ofe could not feel
other than highly pleased nt the
kind remembrance of her friends.

fore. The Nebraska special train

from Chicago to Host on and more
than 50,000 pieces of advertising
matter were used in this work

tional convention. ,
The Lincoln party is having
an especially good time. The
delegates were given a free
automobile ride to the points of
interest, in and about Boston
Friday and will participate in

morning for Silver City, New
Mexico, where he goes to remain
for three months at the sani
tarium for tuberculosis. Mr
Beckers condition is such that
the physicians are of the opinion
that about three months' stay will
cure him. Up to a few weeks ago

lung trouble. The Journal joins

be able to return home entirely

CONFLICTING REPORTS
ABOUT WHEAT CROPS
W. B. Esslck Writes In Omaha
Paper That Crop Is Poor
Many Contradict Him.
Now comes W. I. F.ssick, a Cass
uounly fanner, living near Man-
ley, and says in a letter to an
Omaha paper that Nebraska has
anything but a bumper wheat crop
this year. "When the spring
wheal, is threshed," he says, "we
will find that we have an average
of about 18 or 19 bushels to the
acre." He adds that when he was
a boy in Ohio a crop averaging 20
bushels or less was considered a
poor crop. He vvriles that he has
been over the stale some nml lm
seen fields I hat were not, worth
eulling and others that would not
average more than 5 bushels.
The railway reports show that
there will be n big crop of wheat,
and many farmers bear out the
reports. There are, of course,
good and had fields in tho same
locality, hut many farmers in Cass
county say that their wheat will
average up to that of past years.

AFTER PlMSiuIH
Marriage Figures Here Show That
the Little God Is Neglecting
This Territory.
Plaltsirioiitb's Commercial club
should mnke some inducement to
Cupid win-rib' he will give more
attention I his city ami secure
better results for the town. The
little god of love hasn't ft very
good record here, and he ought to
be induced to come here with his'
bow and arrows and do a little!
more execution with the poisoned
darts.
Marriage license statistics for
this county show some interesting
figures, one of the items of in
terest being the comparatively
few licenses taken out during a
year. It has long been known
that the little son of Venus likes
the excitement of the cities and
causes them to get more than
their proportion of marriages, hut
still the Journal can prove to him
that he is neglecting this part of
the world. Too many couples in
this county seem to be needlessly
delaying the step that leads to
happy-ever-afferward land.
During the twelve months end
ing July 31, 124 couides took out
license in the county court fo
marry. This is an average of ten
and one-third licenses a month;
too few for a county of this
population, but perhaps Omaha
and Lincoln cut in on Cass coun
ty's proportion.
They say that June is the
month for brides, but not, so in
this count'. December is the
most favored month for mar
riages here, with March and Octo
ber a close second. Tennyson
says that a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love
in the springtime, but the drouth
last spring must have affected
lovers just like it did the pas
tures, for April, with only eight
licenses, and May with nine are
among the poorest months of the
year. July was the poorest month
of all, with only five licenses
issued. The licenses for the last
twelve months follow: August, 8;
September, 8; October, 14; No
vember, 12; December, 15; Jan
uary, 7; February, 12; March, 14;
April, 8; May, 9; June, 12;
July, 7. During these twelve
months the average ae of the
men who married was 27 years
and the average age of the wom
en was 2i. This proves that there
is still hope for a lot of you.
Of course, the gerat. majority
of people marry between the ages
or 21 to 30. There are about, the
same number that marry at 20 or
under as between 31 and 40. Mar-
riages between 41 and 50 are few
and far between, while above that
they are exceptional enough to at
tract, attention.
Lewis Cowles of Platlsmouth
has the honor of being the young
est man who took out a license
during the last year, being but 18.
Benjamin Franklin Land of
Wymore and his bride were the
youngest couple, Ben being 19
and his bride 18. Mabel Beel Phil
by of Des Moines and Bertha T.
Cropp of Weeping Witter had the
honor of being the youngest
brides.

MANY GRASSHOPPERS
SEEN IN THE BOTTOMS
They Have Done Much Damage in
Some Parts of the State,
Say Reports.
Large numbers of grasshoppers,
are prevalent in the bottoms east
of the Burlington depot, though
no reports of damage have been
received. From other points in
the state, however, reports of
much damage by grasshoppers
have . been received. At some
places the damage has been
greater than that done by the
drouth.
Olof Olson, who lives seven
miles from Waverly, says the
Stale Journal, reports a total loss
of 100 acres of corn from grass
hoppes. The crops seem any
thing but uniform. Reports from
various sections predict anywhere
from a third of a crop to fifty
bushels an acre. Reports from
farmers living but ten miles apart
show entirely different condition
to contend with.
