DAUGHTERS OF
THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION
They Meet With Mrs. M. A. Street,
Where an Excellent Program
Was Carried Out.
From Friday's Dallv.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution last evening held a
most delightful meeting' at the
hospitable home of Mrs. M. A.
Street in the north part of the
city and the event was in the
nature of a "Boston day" cele
bration, and throughout the aft
ernoon this historical city that
held such a prominent place in
the history of the war of in
dependence held the center of at
traction and the program was
tilled with a number of essays
covering the incidents that have
become historical in the part that
Boston took in the revolution.
Mrs. M. A. Street gave a very
pleasing; reading on some of the
great events that have given the
New England city a fixed place in
the history of the United States,
and a poem of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, recited by Miss Hazel
Tuey, was also a feature of the
afternoon. Several most delight
ful musical selections were af
forded to the gathering by
Misses Kllen Pollock and Zelrna
Tuey, and little Misses Alice Pol
lock and Clara Mae Morgan gave
a duet that was one of the most
enjoyable events of the evening's
entertainment, as these little
ladies appeared garbed in the
'Puritan' costumes of the New
Englanders. Miss Morgan also
recited a very charming poem
that was enjoyed to the utmost by
the large number of members of
the society who were present.
The delicious luncheon which
was served at an appropriate
hour, was in keeping with the
spirit of the occasion, consisting
of Boston baked beans, served on
Boston lettuce, Boston brown
bread and tea and cakes to com
plete the tempting repast, and the
event of the Boston Day celebra
tion will be pleasantly remember
ed for the delightful hospitality
of the hostess, as well as the in
teresting discussion of the his
torical facts of our country's
early days.
THE CENTRAL SCHOOL
BUILDING CLOSED FOR
DISINFECTION PURPOSES
From Friday's Dally.
One of the eighth grade rooms
in the Central school building
was closed this morning by
Superintendent Brooks in order
that it could be thoroughly disin
fected and purified for fear that
there might be a possibility of
the spread of scarlet fever in the
school. One of the little girls
who attends the school was taken
sick yesterday and sent home, as
her case looked suspicious to the
school authorities and it was
thought best to take no chances
of anyone else getting the malady
and the room was ordered closed
until the place could be disin
fected. The superintendent and
school board are taking every
precaution in the handling of the
disease question and no chances
will be taken of allowing it to
spread in the school, for as soon
as the least suspicious sign ap
pears the rooms are closed and
.thoroughly cleaned and disinfect
ed. This process tends to check
the spread of scarlet fever and
diphtheria and the parents of
children can rest assurred that
there will be nothing left undone
that will aid in preserving the
health of the children.

ALLOWED TO VAMOSE
WITH ORDERS NOT TO
TABBY IN THE CITY
From Friday's Dally.
This morning Thomas Cooney,
a quarryman employed at Cedar
Creek, was a caller at the office of
Police Judge M. Archer to explain
how he came to be in a state of
intoxication last evening, and
Thomas pleaded guilty to the
fact that he may have indulged
too heavily in the flowing bowl
and this was the cause of his
failing to catch the train for the
west that was to convey him back
to the quarry, and to vent his
grief at missing the train he
proceeded to take on a larger
cargo of intoxicants and was
given lodging in the county
bastile for the night.. The judge
decided that the community would
be better off without his pres
ence and accordingly allowed him
to go, with orders to not tarry
in the city, " and be got himself
hence.
PIONEER CITIZEN
OF GLENWOOD
PASSES AWAY
H. H. McCIuskey of Glenwood, an
Early Dentist and Druggist
of That City.
From Friday's Dally.
Matthew II. McCIuskey of Glen
wood died last Monday evening at
his home in that city, and in his
death we lose one of the few who
have been identified with ovir local
history of that time. His death
followed an attack of heart
trouble as told in the Tribune last
Monday. He, was down town on
Saturday as usual, but became
sick and had to be taken home.
He never rallied and bis trouble
developed into acute pneumonia
He passed from this life about
7:30 Monday evening.
I)r. MeCluskev was porn in
Montrose Valley, pa.. August
lPio, so tnai ne was nearly -i
years in age. He enlisted during
the civil war for a term of live
years in Company G of an in
dependent Pennsylvania artillery
battery, r.nd served from August
l 1802, to June 15, 18G3.
He came to Glenwood soon af
ter his discharge from the army
and besran the practice of
dentistry. Here he met Miss Jen
nie R. Barker of Key West, Fla..
who was. visiting Glenwood
friends, and they were married on
July 23, 1871.
Bis practice required him to
visit many surrounding places
where they Uadno dentist, and he
frequently made long trips afoot.
Plattsmouth and Weeping Water,
Neb., were among the places that
he visited regularly. In 1870 he
bought a half interest in a drug
store from William Dean, and
later bought his partner's in
terest. From that time he has
been more or less in touch with
the drug business in Glenwood.
though not continuously engaged
actively in it. His license as a
pharmacist was No. 104, and
there are few in the state now
with numbers below this. Glen
wood Tribune.
The above article will recall to
the older residents of this city
this gentleman, who, as will be
seen, was a frequent visitor here,
and his friends here will greatly
regret to learn of his death. Mr.
McCIuskey was for a time a resi
dent of this city in early days.
For the past twenty years he has
been suffering from creeping
paralysis.
JOHN W. COLBERT OF
WEEPING WATER A CANDI
DATE FOR COMMISSIONER
From Friday's Dally.
Another candidate has entered
the list for the primary election
this summer in the person of
John W. Colbert of Weeping Wa
ter, who will try to secure the re
publican nomination for county
commissioner in the third com
missioner district, a petition for
his name to appear having been
filed with the county clerk yester
day. Mr. Colbert was a candidate
three years ago against Commis
sioner Heebner, as he then re
sided in Center precinct, but has
since removed to Weeping Water,
where he is engaged in the real
estate business. He is quite well
known through the central and
western part of the county, where
he has resided for a number of
years. This is the first filing for
the county offices and it is expect
ed that the crop of candidates will
now make a general rush to get
into the running in the next few
months, and the voters of the
county will have plenty of oppor
tunity to pick their officials for
the ensuing two years.

Returns Home From Hospital.
From Frlaays DallT. -
Fred Ebinger, who has been in
Omaha for the pastvfew weeks re
covering from the effects of an
operation, has so far recovered
that he was able to return to this
city, where he will rest for a time
at the home of Mrs. Ebinger's
mother, Mrs. Emma Weidman
Mr. Ebinger is feeling much im
proved since the operation and
his friends were delighted to see
that he had came through the
ordeal of the operation with such
success and was apparently in
such good health. Mrs. Ebinger
accompanied him back from the
hospital.
UNION WILL PROBABLY
HAVE ELECTRIC LIGHTS
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
(From the Union Ledger).
As stated recently in The
Ledger, the Nebraska Lighting
Co. have been investigating the
prospects of operating the elec
tric light business in 1 his village,
and their representatives, Messrs.
Sweazey and Milliern, were here
last Friday evening to meet with
the council and discuss the mat
ter. Of course at the present
time an accurate statement of the
cost cannot be made, but the esti
mate is that the cost will be about
?8.00 per light for. the large arc
lights on main street and about
?1.50 per light for the smaller
ones on the back streets, and that
the number required will be three
arc lights and thirteen of the
small ones, which would make
the annual cost something like
500.00 per year -for day and
nisrht service, but this is given as
the maximum cosd.ttwd wilprob-
ably be less when the matter gets
further along. Things are shap
ing up nicely for this town to
make this step forward, and
something definite will probably
develop at the council meeting to
be held the evening of March 20.
at which time the light company
people will be with us again to
take the matter up. ,
It has been suggested that the
expense of the lighting be met by
taxes to be levied for that pur
pose, but we fail to see the ad
visability of such a course while
the village has a few thousand
dollars in the treasury that can
be used for that purpose. It is
stated that the money now on
tiand is to be kept for the purpose
of getting water works later, but
we are of the opinion that most
of the citizens will not be pleased
with increased taxation for light
ing while so much of their money
s in the treasury, and they say,
'why not use it to pay for lights
and later, if we are to have water
works, then will be time enough
to levy the extra tax." We believe
this is right and we are with
those who oppose extra taxation
while money is lying in the vil-
age treasury. Let the extra tax
come later if it has to be levied.

CONCRETE WORK ON

FOUNDATION PROGRESSING
From Saturday's Dally.
The work on the new county
jail is progressing nicely and al
ready some of the concrete work
of the foundation has been placed
by Emil Walters and his force of
workmen, and the good weather
of the past few days has greatly
assisted in the work of getting
the preliminary work ready for
the brick masons and carpenters
to start in on the structure. There
will be no let-up once the work is
gotten under way, and the time
when the taxpayers of the county
can point "with -pride to the new
tructure will soon be here.
