Redfern, Formerly Miss Florence White, Died at Home in Lincoln Monday. from Tuesday's Daily. The news of the death at her home in Lincoln of Mrs. D. L. Redfern came as a severe shock last evening' to her many friends here, who grew up with her from childhood, and their grief at her untimely death is most profound, as Mrs. Redfern, during her resi dence here, was one of the most accomplished and popular ladies of the city, and her removal from this city was a great loss to the social and musical circles, in which she was a leading figure, having studied music under some of the most talented musicians of the country, and she was gifted with a voice of exceptional beauty and power. Florence Livingston White was born in this city February 7, 1877, and was a daughter of Francis S. White and wife, and the young lady was reared to womanhood in this city and received her educa tion in the schools of the city, and later took up the study of vocal music in Louisville, Ky., and Chicago, and received much praise for her splendid talent along this line. She was united in marriage in this city about four years ago to Dr. I). L. Hed fern of Auburn, and the young people made their home in that city for a short time, removing later to Lincoln, where they have since resided. About two years ago the father of Mrs.'nedferii passed 'away and since that linn her mother, Mrs. F. S. While, has resided with her daughter at Lin coln and was present when she passed away yesterday afternoon. The mother and heart-broken husband are left to mourn her loss, as the little babe never lived to open its eyes and preceded the mother to the Metier Land by a few hours. The following half brothers and sisters are also left to mourn her death: A. W. White and Mrs. V. V. Leonard of this city, Hon. F. K. White of Omaha and Arthur While, living in Florida. The funeral wi lake place from the late home in Lincoln. REV. ALLAN 6. WILSON GOES TO LINCOLN SANITARIUM This morning the Rev. Allan 0.

I'haroah's eight plague is her the 1 -year locust. Nearly all of our local exchanges record the appearance in their respective communities of what is called the "17-year locust." We have not sufficient ly noted the character of the locust to say that they appear every seventeen years, but we know people who declare it to be a literal fact. We recall that in the year i K t 2 the locust over whelmed parts of the land. Tak ing seventeen year periods and it would make the third appearance of the: locust due this year Whether their appearance now is in consonance with the theory of their return every seventeen years is a matter for the reader to de l . 1 la - lermiue ior nimseii. riiey an; here and that much we know. . I he locust is a species of th( grasshopper family. There art1 about twenty references to the locust in the bible and frequently ey are alluded to as instruments of diine judgment. The heathens viewed the locust as a judgment from heaven. Thai in the oll days I he locust was looked unon wilh dread is exemplified by Vol ney, the celebrated traveler, who stales lhal "Syria, Persia and all south Asia is subject to a calam ity i locust ) not less dreadful than that of olcanoes and earth quakes." Joel I-1'J, tells of their depredations. An Arab contrasts the locust to a horse in this wav: Is breast is lhaf of a lion ; its feet those of a came; Ms body that of a serpent ; its tail. that ol scorpion. Even the sturdy Germans call them "hay horses." If people will follow our biblical ancestors they can reduce Hie high cost of living until the locust leaves. In eastern countries locust are slill eaten by the in habitants and esteemed a delicacy. In good old paliarrhial davs locust, and wild honey were deem ed luxuries. For a ('critical ion one may read Leviticus, 1 1 -p2 and Matthew, 3-i. We have men- iioneu inese minus concerning the locust for the benefit of the younger people who. will see locust for .the first, time. GOOD MEETING AT THE BIG TENT LAST NIGHT From Tuesday's Dally The service last evening at the big tent meeting was indeed dis tinctly musical, as it had been announced. Under the skillful direction of Prof. Gilmore the choir rendered several splendid numbers. Duets and trios were enjoyed immensely. The talented men engaged in this song service are an inspiration to all who hear them. As an offertory num ber the male quartet sang "I Want My Life to Tell for Jesus," a beautiful thought, well told in song. Rev. Smith took for his subject '.'The Love of God," and briefly but very ably this great theme was presented in a way that im pressed everyone very deeply. Food for profitable thought is to be found in all of Hev. Smith's excellent sermons, and the one last night was no exception to the rule. Interest, is growing strong er and the "lights" are coming from "under the bushel" in real earnest. The remaining two weeks of the services promise much good for the community and those who take advantage of the opportunity to attend the service. Farm for Sale.

From Tuesday's Dally. w . h. Kosencrans, the real estate man, returned Sunday evening from a two weeks' trip through southwestern Texas, in which section Mr. Rosencrans has sold a great deal of land in the past few years. He was in San Aulonia for about a week and went from there to Florella, Texas, near where a treat manv Plaltsmouth people have invested in land, and reports that the country there is looking fine and I hat (crops of all kinds are boom ing and a great yield of all kinds of produce is looked for through that section. Cotton will be ready for picking in about ten days, and wheal and oats are being har vested throughout the southern portion of the state. While at Florella Mr. Rosen crans paid a two-days' visit with W. ( t. Schutz and filinilv and found I hem enjoying good health and In a most prosperous condi tion. Mr. Schutz owns about 500 icresif land, which he purchased through Mr. Rosencrans. and is improving it greatly, having ised some of it, and on one quarter section is erecting a fine bouse and oulbuildinus for his n home, and has on this place four acres of watermelons, from which be recently sold three ear. oads at a high price, as the meloys bring the top-notch price in the norlliern markets. This land was sold in the las three years by Mr. Rosencrans atid'is on the.booiii, advancing in value every year, and Mr. Schut feels that he secured a bargain when he purchased at the price e did. The success of this fam ily will be most pleasing news to their friends throughout this sec ion, who greatly regretted to sec them remove from their home lere. Mr. Rosencrans also brought Willi Ii i tit from the south several specimens of green oranges and grape fruit, which show the ex- ellent quality of the fruit, raised in me i.one Mar siaie, ami tlie fruit is on exhibition at the saloon of J. E. McDaniel. and if ey can be taken as a rep esentation of the output of the Texas orchards they certainly ook good. T From Tuesday's Dai'.y.

THE SHOOTING AI August Olson Mysteriously Shot in the Back While Sitting Down Eating Lunch. From Tuesday's Pany. The shooting of August Olson yesterday morning at Cedar Creek seems to be shrouded in mystery as where the shot that struck him came from or the party fir ing it, has not as yet been un earthed, and it looks as if some one out hunting: or shootimr along the Platte river had ac ('Mentally made a target out of I he unfortunate man. I he tour men were engaged at the lime of the shooting in eat nig a iiincn neneaui a tree near I lie river, and were all wit hout weapons, when Olson jumped to Ins feel, announcing he bad been i i i ... Mini, ami on examination it, was found that a bullet had entered his back and penetrated quid deeply. There bad 1 n no sound of a shot and his companions were greatly alarmed and at one rusiied for help, and the sheriff was notified, as well as Dr. Wort man. of, . Louisville, who both hastened to the scene to try and discover the perpetrator of tin shooting, as well as I lie extent of the man's injuries. It was im possible to locale the bullet and the unfortunate man was taken to Omaha, where he was sent, to the Swedish hospital, where an A-Iiay examination will be made to discover the location of the bullet and remove it, if possible. Olson has been working-at Ne hawka at the quarries there, where he was employed as the powder nian, but a few days ago came to Cedar Creek, where his brother is employed, and intend ed to go to work in tin1 quarries there. The shooting seems to have been accidental and it is doubtful if it, is ever found out where the shot, that, entered Olson's body came from. There were several lurid reports con cerning the shooting circulated here yesterday, ranging from that of a riot , in which the man was injured, to that of his being shot l... ... . m i one oi ins companions ac- ciueniaiiy, mil. uiey all were without foundation.
