If you are interested in the advancement of women, do not fail to be present at half-past 2 o'clock. The following paragraph, going the ronnds of the state press, is reproduced in our columns, not so much for the poetry or truthfulness contained therein but to show to what ends some of the newspaper boys resort in getting up copy for their papers: "Two tramps entered a saloon in Co lumbus with a gallon jug, ordered it filled with whisky and tendered a dol lar in payment which the saloon keeper refused, saying it was $4 whiskey. They refused to pay and he poured it into a barrel. The tramps left with the jug and stopped just outside the town and broke it. It contained sponges well soaked with whisky which furnished them several drinks." OF ALL KINDS. mMM Rev. Dr. Pillabury of Fullerton died Saturday week of gangrene, resulting from a toe afflicted by a corn, and which was amputated, but blood poisoning set ting in, the result proved fatal. Mr. Pillabury had been elected county treas urer, but even already there has been quite a squabble for the place. It seems that Dr. Pillsbury's death was due to an accident, bis left foot being trampled on by a horse. The foot was only slightly bruised, but several days later began to pain him. Thinking tha pain resulted from a corn, he pared it deeply. Blood poison followed. In our account last week of tho Christmas doings wo failed to mention the Baptist, and Latter Dav Saints. At the former church Christmas eve a tree was decorated with presents end candies, the presents were made by tha teachers and were all useful. At the chapel a Ferris wheel of good size was provided for the occasion, filled with presents for the little ones, and kept in motion dur ing the exercises of the evening. It was a happy conception for tho carrying of tho gifts to the children, and hiizhlv appreciated by them. A short address by Elder Hudson was followed by songs, recitations, etc. A crowded house greet ed the children, and all had a very enjoyable time. Nebraska's percentage of illiteracy has been for some years and is yet lower than any other state of the Union, being 2.2 per cent; Iowa is next, 2.7. Mass achusetts 5.1. Children of Nobraska, mako the best of your opportunities. Your lives are cast in better lines than .you sometimes imagine. Tho galling yokes of useless and senseless systems of so-called mental training aro yours in smallest measure. Your freedom of ex pansion is as unlimited as tho heaven which bends over you, and your mental horizon, like yonr physical, is just as far as yon can see. Set your mark high, make every power and every moment tell, and do not bo satisfied with any thing less than demonstration. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."

Geortro Swartaley, 1'rank McTsgart, Homer Martyn, The following, to tho Omaha World Herald, of Dec. 30, will be read with interest by many of our readers, who knew the lady in question as a young girl in this city years ago: "Friends of Miss Cora Slattery, a dashing young Chadron school teacher of eorae 23 sum mers, were much surprised to learn this morning that she had eloped in company with a Deadwood miner, Charles Davie, who has borne a rather shady reputation hereabouts. Davis came to town Satur day night in a lumber wagon, met 3Iiss Slattery, and together they repaired to the residence of the county judge, who married'them. They then proceeded to the home of Mrs. Slattery and secured the bride's trunk, bicycle, etc., and drove to Dakota Junction, where they boarded the train for Deadwood. Miss Slattery was a highly respected young lady, a graduate of the high school and Chadron academy. Mrs. Slattery, the girl's moth er, is heartbroken over the affair. None of the family were apprised of the inten tion of the conplo but her brother Ernest, who received a short' note the following morning caying that she intend ed to get married." It is to be hoped there is some mistake about the young man, and that he is better than he is painted. FRISCHHOLZ BROS. Eleventh St., Leap Year Ball. The leap year ball given by the young ladies Wednesday evening was an event long to be remembered by those present. The Italian band of Omaha furnished tho music, the hall was neatly decorated and tho costumes were beau tiful ns a dream. We should like to give a full list of the costumes, but spacowill not permit; however, we will mention a few. Mr. P. J. Hart was attired becomingly in broadcloth, with a corsage boquet of lillies of tho valley fastened with a dia mond brooch. Mr. Charles Evans, blonde beauty, was stunning in a monseline do soir tie and dress suit. Mr. Charles Stillman's ornaments were very swell diamonds and Marchal Neil rose9. Mr. John Cox was sweetly attired in a Princo Albert coat, his usual beautiful smile and a choker collar. Mr. Earl Pearsall, a charming young man, was attired in a low-cut vest of immaculate color, newly laundried. Mr. Charles Segelko was particularly fascinating in dove-colored tie, pink carnations and diamond brooch. Mr. Walter Henry, another charming young man, shone forth in tha latest collar and Pearl scarf pin. Mr. George Whaley, a modest young man who dances divinely, was the even ing's favorite with all the ladies. Mr. Carl Hoehen looked commanding and just too lovely for anything, in razor-toed shoes and white cravat. L. E. Sissoa was there also and looked bewitching in white with countless silk handkerchiefs. Mr. Willie Rickly,. a debutant, was stately in the usual black and white. Dr. I. D. McKean was his tisnnl bright and happy self. Then there were C. L. Gerrard, Ben Brodfuehrer, A. A. Schram, W. O. An derson, J. O. Hickey, Will Lehman, John Haney, A. Butler, Arthur Pohl, Lee Conway, II. Beerbower, Arthur Gray, Frank Wurdeiuan, all nice young men, who looked their very best. Among the married men there wero .fudge Post, C. E. Morse, Charles Wha ley, C. E. Pollock, Judge Sullivan, C.W. Pearsall, G. B. Speico, A. Covert, H. I. Murdock. Several j-oung men were imported. They wero C. McAffee, Colorado Springs; J. McCnne. Omaha; Harry Graf, Sew ard; O. Williams, A. Parker, D. Barnes, Genoa; R- Pound, Lincoln. Died at Willits, California, Dec. 22, 1895, T. M. Blakeley, aged 57 years, 21 days. Such is the brief announcement of the departure from mortal sight, of one of our old friends, the founderof the Madison Eeview (now Chronicle), in 1873. He was ailing but a very few days. On a Thursday he was at his office (The News), but "complained of not feeling very well. Friday and Saturday he kept his room but nothing serious was antici pated. Sunday he felt much improved, and expected to be at tho office Monday. Sunday evening he spent pleasantly with his family and did not retire until 10:30. Less than a half hour after retiring bis wife noticed that he was breathing heav ily and tried to waken him, but her efforts were in vain." Tho direct cause of death, as revealed by a post mortem examination, was heart failure, probably resulting from erysipelas contracted while in tho army. Ho leaves a widow, five cons and one daughter. Mr. Blake ley's paper was a model in every respect. He had had experienco as a printer, and the Review was a typographical beauty for those days and times. Animated by a love of fair-play, Mr. Blakeley con ducted his paper in the interest of the growing community rather than of his own, and thus filled tho full measure of his usefulness.

A ffcw of tho policy holders of the New York Life through failure of crops or other losses, let their policies lapse dar ing tho last two years. I wish to say to them that these policies can be revived if the party ia still in good health and by settling for premiums past due with 5 per cent per annum interest. All the money paid on such policies will thus be saved and the policy is in force and the same as though no lapse had taken place. Call and see me at the Meridian Hotel. C. T. Tailor, Gtn'l. Agt.

R. post gave a camp.fi re and they bad a right royal time, a good sized crowd of old soldiers and sons of veter ans being in attendance with all their friends for miles around, while there was also a goodly number from a distance. Commander John Tannahill of Baker Post, Columbus, was there with the drum corps from S. of V. camp 134, and he was proud of the sons. While the boys were playing, the old soldiers would get to dancing and their wives would join in with them. Quite an interesting program was rendered in the hall, which was packed to its utmost limit. With songs and speeches, about two and a half hours was pleasantly passed in the hall or until near ten o'cloct, when they ad journed to a large room down stairs, where they had prepared a delicious supper of all kinds of good things to eat. Our reporter says that Miner can eat more oysters for a man of his size, than any one he has seen for a long time, and that Commander Tannahill got all the pie he could eat for once, and there was plenty left. Tho boys who went from here were Tannahill, Adams, Dussell. Miner, Tschudy and Jenkins, all of whom had a splendid time except comrade Adams, who suffered for an hoar or so with a severe head-ache, but got over it in time to show the Bellwoodites how he could hammer the big drum. Our boys have come to the conclusion that if the post at Bellwood have another camp-fire they don't want to be forgotten.
