Retllers of this county, passed to

for almost a week from the ef
fects of a stroke of apoplexy. Mr.

him in his sad affliction.
"Uncle Hilly," as ho was known
to a great many of the residents,
was a most pelasant and genial
man before the visitation of his
affliction of blindness, and since
that time he had resigned himself
to the life of eternal nifcht wilh a
Christian resignation, waiting
patiently until the Master called
him home, where the suffering
and misfortunes of this earth
shall be no more. His passing will
be the source of deep grief to his
legion of friends, who have known
him so well in the years that he
has resided in our community.

The Modern Woodman hal
was crowded to its rapacity Sat.
urday evening on the occasion of
the llrst annual mask ball, given
hy ('ass Camp No. ;j."l, of the
Modern Woodmen of America, and
the evening was one of the most
pleasant of its kind that has been
given in this city for some linn;
and the large crowd enjoyed it
self to the utmost until a late
hour. The costumes worn hv the
maskers were most excellent am
-embraced every kind imaginable
The prize-winners were: Fir
ladies', Miss Klla Neiiinan; seooin
ladies', Mrs. frank Ohm; Ilrs
gent's, N. W. Crissingor; second,
Joseph Altaian; third, Howard

came very popular and always
draw a large crowd, as I he coin
mil.lee spares no pains to see that
the 'guests are given a good time.

To an audience that packed the
1'armele theater to the doors, the
ius Hall company Saturday even
ing presented me musical eomeuy,
MutUuid Jeff," and the show was
i splendid success in the amuse
ment afforded the audience hy the
two comeTlians in the title role,
larticularly that of Ross Snow,
who appeared as Mutt, while the
ippoarance of Shorty DeWitt as
Jell' was enough to keep the
uidience in a good humor, but
Mr. Snow is undoubtedly one of
the best comedians on the stage,
ind he lived up to his reputation
in his clever work in this production.
The musical features of the
play wen; very fair, although the
chorus was not as wen iirinen or
is tuneful as some thai has ap
peared Here, ma uikc h .is a
whole it was a very clever little
comedy, written around (lie char
acters made famous by "Hud"
Fisher. Harry Host as Jack Wid
er, was I he main attract inn from
a musical standpoint, ami ine
several numbers he furnished
during the play were very much
ippreciated by the audience, par
ticularly that of "Just, a Utile
Smile;" while Miss Norma Hell in
her select inn, "Spanish Moon,"
was most pleasing.
This company was very good,
however, all the way through, and
the I healer-going public, feels
that, Manager Shines deserves
great credit for having secured it
for his playhouse and it. is to be
hoped he will he able to secure
oilier aiiraciions omiaiiv as goon
for Iho remainder of lln season.
There were a great, many here
from adjoining towns, and all
were erv much pleaded wiui ine
ofl'ering.
The Hello l'ourch (S. ).) North
west Host, published by two form
er IMaltsmouth newspaper men,
Messrs. Fellows and Kirkham, has
the following to say in reference
to "The Divorce Question," which
visited I heir city a short lime
since, and which will be at the
Parinele theater in this city Wed
nesday night, January 29:
'.The Divorce Question," at the
Pearson last Thursday evening
drew a fair-sized audience only,
probably bceaues many did not
really think from the name of the
play that it was anything more
than a sensational drama. On the
contrary, it was a powerful plea
against divorce from the Catholic
standpoint and from the stand
point of many non-Catholics.
While, the question as presented
was perhaps extreme, y.et the ter
rible possibilil ies for wrong and
injustice and crime as the result
of divorce were too plainly shown
to be refuted, and the little bit of
humor introduced to show the
careless thought with which some
foolish people are permitted to
enter into marriage, was a hard
knock at the laxity of the law. The
company, or part of the company,
has appeared here before and were
splendid actors, every one. Many
eyes were wet, and the interest
was intense during the play. It
was worth seeing again, and the
lesson of the play was worth re
membering.

THE MATTER OF PARKING
STREETS
FATHER SHINE PRESIDES
AT ORGANIZATION OF A
NEW LODGE IN LINCOLN
Ok
The mailer of parking and nar
rowing Hie si reels in me resilience
section of the city should be got
ten under way at once, in order
that when spring opens up the
,vork of pulling in the concrete
curbing and guttering can be
starled. This will be one of (he
most important improvements
that has been projected for the
beautifying of the city and it will
give us in lime one of the finest
systems of streets of any town of
it s size in I he slate, and Mayor
Saltier and Iho oily council should
lake I lie mailer up, as in time, it
will save the oily thousands of
dollars in street work, as well as
be a means of making the streets
objects of beauty. There is noth
ing that adds to the appearance of
a town as does good, well kept
si reels, and having liiem well
lighted, and I he city has done all
it, could to secure heller light
service, but, the fixing of the
streets will work wonders toward
improving the town and bringing
outsiders here lo make their
homes.
Father M. A. Shine returned "last
evening from Lincoln, where he
presided at the organization of a
lode of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in that city, the lodge
starling with a charier member
ship of twenty-live. A degree
team from Omaha assisted in the
work of the lodge. Father Shine
is the stale president of the order
and as he is one of the most
eloquent and forceful speakers in
the state, lends great strength to
the order.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT
JOHN PETTY INJURED BY
STREET CAR IN OMAHA
This morning II. F. Holly do
parted for Omaha, where he goes
lo visit his brother, John, who was
injured a few days ago on a street
car in that. city. Mr. l'elty stales
that his brother, who is employed
by the Isreet railway company,
was through with his rin and had
boarded a ear lo return home,
when in some manner he sustain
od a fall and did not know any
thing further of the matter until
ho came too in a hospital the next
day. The extent of the injuries
was not known lo Mr. Potty, ns he
had received no runner par
ticulars from his brother in
Omaha.
This morning George Lutler,
who is employed as a scrapper in
the llcrlinglon freight car shops,
received a very severe gasli on
his head. He was engaged in
picking up some stuff from
around the tracks and while near
one of the box cars that was being
scrapped one of the men employed
in the car threw out a heavy
hoard, which struck endways on
the ground and bounced back, hit
ting George on the back of the
head, making a scalp wound that
made it necessary for Iho
surgeon lo use several si itches to
close. The wound is not par
ticularly dangerous and Georgo
will probably be able to return to
his work in a few days.
ING FOR PLAY, "THE CITY"
Manager Shlaes of the Parmele

lo bring to this city on Saturday,
March 1, the greatest sensational
