Last evening the Queen Esther? of the Methodist cbu:ch v.eie entertain ed at the hom-' of Miis Gertrude Beeson, on North Sixth street, at a most delightful gathering that was enjoyed to the utmost by the twenty young ladies present, and the evening was one of the rarest enjoyment.

THE STEAMBOAT "JULIA" GOES NORTH YESTERDAY t'rom Wednesday's t.''aly. The steamboat "Julia," which this season is to ply between Omaha and the pioneer Nebraska town of De catur, passed up the river yesterday, bound for the metropolis, and made a short stop near Rocky Point for a few hours before continuing on to the metropolis to take up the work of transferring freight from Omaha to Decatur, which is off of the lines of railroad and will be greatly benefited by the steamboat service. This boat is one that is to be used as an experi ment to determine what a boat plying the Missouri river can do in the way of transporting freight, and con siderable interest has been shown in the matter by the Commercial club and business men of Omaha, who are very enthusiastic over the outlook for river transportation. Mr. Allen of the Omaha News came down yesterday, expecting to meet the boat here and accompany them to Omaha, but arrived too late, as the craft had weighed anchor and was well on her way to Omaha when he arrived and disappointed "him in the trip up the Old Muddy on its initial trip that may prove a big thing in the way of freight handling through the means of boats. The steamer brought back to the older residents memories of the days when this city was one of the principal points for shipping along the river and when the big river steamers were tied up at the landing near where the Burlington station is now located.

WHY GOOD STREET LIGHTING IS VERY NECESSARY IN GiTY Frnrn Tuesoav's T'aiiY. The matter of street lighting has been the cne thing on the minds of i the citizens of PlatU-mouth for sev eral months, and is one of the great questions that any city has to con sider if it wishes to go forward and keep up with the times. There is nothing that will do more to put a town on the map than street lighting and plenty of it. There is nothing that will improve the looks of the business streets more than the white way. There is nothing that will bring the people out at night like good and efficient stieet lighting. There is no better police protection than plenty of street lights. What Plattsmouth needs is more of its streets lighted; there should be a light on every street crossing in the city; the city ar.d citizens receive a greater benefit for money spent in this way than any other way possible, and h great many cities are realizing this fact more each year. Read Oak. Iowa, a town of about 5.000, is spending S4.O00.03 per year. Shenandoah, Iowa, with about the same population, is spending $4,300.00 per year. Hamburg, Iowa, with only about one-half the people as Plattsmouth, aie spending over S 2, 100.00 per year. A Taxpayer. GASES DISPOSED GF IN Tilt DISTRICT CGURT YESTERDAY Frr.m Tuesday's Ir!!v.
