Last evening the seventeenth anniversary of t li - Knights aiiI Ladies of Security was celebrated in a manner that will impress the importance of the event upon the members of the lodge anil the corninittee in charge of the gathering had arranged a most delightful program to aj- propriately carry out the pleas ant evening. The committee had labored most diligently under the direction of lion. It. U. Windham, the chairman, and the result of the delightful eveninir speaks well for their efforts. The Holly orchestra opened the program with a very pleasing number, and was followed by Miss Mina Thierolf, who gave a most delightful number on the piano that fully demonstrated the skill of this talented young lady. Miss Delia Moore rendered a very charming vocal solo, and in her sweet clear voice the music was most thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience present. Miss Honor Seybert ami Mrs. A. O. Kggenberger also gave two very pleasing piano numbers that, won for them the appreciation of the entire audience and were enjoyed to the utmost by eeryone pres ent, a both of these ladies Nire gifted musicians ami their con tributions to the program was indeed most pleasing. Mrs. A. J. Beeson. who is an immense favorite with the Plattsmouth people, was on the program for one of her excellent readings, and the selection offered by her was up to the usual high stand ard of her work as an elocution ist and there was much pleasure expressed at having her present to assist in the great success of the program. A very pleasant surprise was given the audience by having Ten Windham render a most delightful vocal number, anil there was a great deal of ap plause for this young man, who is gifted in many ways and is rapid ly forging to the front in his chosen line. One of the most thoroughly enjoyed numbers on the program was that given by Plnttmmith' talented violin vitourso. Prof. Frank J. Kolbaba, and the sweet strains drawn from the violin by this talented gentle man marked him as one of the most gifted musicians that has ever been heard here in many a day. He was accompanied by Miss Emma Cummins on the piano in a very able manner, which aided greatly in making the work of the violinist such a great success. II. A. McKlwain, Mrs. E. II. Wes cott and Don C. York all con tributed vocal selections to the program in their usual finished manner that always characterizes their work in the musical line, and it is unnecessary t add any words of praise of their delight ful contributions to the evening's entertainment. Miss Ellen Windham was also prevailed up on to give a reading on the pro pram, which was most thorough ly enjoyed. After, the program a very pleasant dance was enjoyed by the members until a late hour, and it was voted that the oc casion, was one of the most pleasing in the history of Platte council. The Holly orchestra furnished the music for the dance in their usual pleasing manner. Last, but by no means least in the celebration were the efforts of Colonel J. H. Thrasher and his committee on refreshments, which had .prepared for the gathering of something- like 125 a most sumptuous " repast, and there was nothing omitted from the menu that would "'please": the most fastidious; and "the dining, room was filled twice with the jolly crowd to enjoy the "feed" prepared for them. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Soper of Nebraska City former ollieers of the lodge were present, arid look purl m the delights of the eveninir. Train Is Annuled Today.

The health of Mrs. Murray has not been the best for some months past and it was thought advisa ble to perform the operation while her condition was such as she could stand the effects.

On Saturday evening and last night during the storm the peo ple oil Main street were greatly pleased with the ej egant il lumination on the street furnish ed by the electruic arc lights in front of the Gem and Grand theaters, which made Main street in that section of the city as light as day and the lights served to show many a wearied pedestrian their way through the storm to their homes. The enterprise of Messrs. Shlaes and Gribsky in keeping ia the front ranks of progress by installing these lights is much appreciated by everyone down town, and if other places of business were to install similar lights there would be lit tle need to complain of having to plow through the dark.

Toe most notable event in i. A. R. eireles for many ears wa pulled off at the home of Mr. and Mis. Robert Troop on r-aturday evening when several of hi., com rades, without his knowledge, gathered at hi.- home to spend the evening and renew their youth m leminicences of war times, and those who were present were: Comrades Newell. Leonard. Mor rison. Free-e. Windham. Carter. Fight and Olenu. The ladie present were: Mrs. McCaub-y. Miss Newell, Mi-.- Freese and Miss May dlenn. The party was a surprise for the Troops, but did n't in any way embarrass them, as they were full and overflowing with genuine iiospiiainy, ami in uj moment eeryone was made to feel at home and happy. The evening- was spent in placing games of different kinds and i:i singing the old war-time song and some dancing was indulged in, but no prizes were given for this last-named amusement. At a late hour Mrs. Troop repaired to the kitchen and "dug tip" an elegant luncheon, which was not looked for by the guests, as they thought the host never kept any good supply on band unless they were looking for company, but ihe result of the e egant repast more than satistb-d the company that as entertainers Mr. Troop and his wife were without an equal. When the guests began t leave for home Comrade Wind ham told them there was a duty yet to perform and no one inii't leave until it was tin-bed. and he then in a short speech, pre senting Miss Violet Free-e with a ('rand Army badge from MeConi hie post a 1 1 4 1 informed her that the post at its last meeting- had unanimously voted h'r a member ami appointed her to the position of musical director of the post. Miss Freeze very gracefully ac cepted the honor conferred upon her. with many thanks and promised to be a g 1 and faith ful member as long as she lived. Although no one knew it at the time it was learned later that Sunday was the seventy-fifth birthday of Comrade Troop. Dur ing the evening Miss Uernese Newell and Mrs. Troop gave two very pleasing readings that served greatly to make the oc casion a most pleasant one. and everyone left for home and bed thinking of the happy time they had and blaming- the coffee for keeping them awake.
