DIBD. flirvna At ftha familv nurirlonnA in this dty, Friday morning at 6 o'clock, .EiiizaDetu, wue ot o. tr. iurus, in ner 73d year. Elizabeth Wilson Mettler was born in Belvidere, Warren county. New Jersey, October 10, 1827. She was married August 15, 1855, at the place of her birth, to S. P. Curtis who still survives her. In the spring of 1857 they removed to Illinois, coming by way of what was at that time a very popular route for those westward bound, by boat on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers from Pittsburg to St Louis. They firat located at Bloom ington, Illinois, and a year later moved to Chillicothe, Peoria county. Here they lived until 1871, when they moved to Stark county and lived until 1883. In April of that year the family came to this city, where they have ever since redded. She was the mother of five children, two ot whom died in infancy the other three, together with the husband survive her and all live in this county. They are: J. M. and O. F. of this dty, and Mrs. A. L. Beaty of the vicinity of Monroe. Some four months ago a small varicose ulcer appeared upon the ankle and owing to her age it was very slow in yielding to treatment About two weeks ago she was attacked with a form of stomach trouble from whioh she had suffered periodically for a long number of years. Owing to her enfeebled condition, no medical skill seemed able to relieve her and she died peacefully like a child going to sleep. She knew death was near but was perfectly composed and resigned. Funeral services were held at the Metho dist church Sundsy afternoon last at 2 o'clock, Rev. J. P. Yost preaching the sermon. He read the first and the twenty-fourth Psalms, and made brief remarks upon the same, as per request The body was followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of people. All who knew Mrs. Curtis, greatly respected her for her many excellent traits of charac ter. Of unusually bright intellect she subordinated every consideration of self to that of husband, children and home. Death of lew. Z. C. Stun. CHUTUS IS PAST !

K-- V" r-i':'-ii The twenty-sixth annual ball of the Pioneer Hook k Ladder company given last Thursday night was a great success both socially and financially, the boys after paying all expenses, have left for their exchequer, $115. During the after noon the company turned out and gave a parade through the principal streets of the city, at the head of which was the Citv Band, the members of which were en masque and so well were some of thm diumiaed that even their own relatives failed to recognize them, and besides creating much merriment, fur nished some good, lively music for the occasion. The opera house was tastily decorated with firemen's paraphernalia, pictures, and the national colors, and the arrangement showed plainly that the committee on decoration understood their business thoroughly. Over a hun dred maskers were in attendance, and all entered into the festivities from the start with much spirit which was kept up till the lengthy program of twenty five numbers was finished at 2:15 a. m. The gallery was completely filled with spectators who seemed to enjoy them selves almost as much as the maskers, ss they remained long after the masks had been removed at 1130. All the dif feaent committeemen deserve great credit for the way in which they per formed their duties, as there was not a hitch or a disagreeable 'occurrence to mar the pleasures of the evening. The dance has proven to the Hookies, at least that the opera house is becoming too small to accommodate their patrons ten sets crowding the floor space to the utmost We would like to give a list of the maskers but lack of space for bids. Music for the dance was furnished by the Columbus Orchestra, who were kind enough to respond to encores ot some ot the dances, the finger polka and the cake walks seeming to be the prime favorites. George Hagel did the prompt ing in a very satisfactory manner. The Hookies have good cause to feel proud of this their last effort, as this was the biggest dance they ever had.

He died on Sunday quite suddenly, although he had been ailing for some weeks. Mr. Rush was one of the early settlers of Boone county, and was pastor of the Baptist church both at St Edward and Albion. He started a seminary at St Edward about twenty years ago, but the country was too new to give it adequate support He was a man well liked by everybody, quiet and unassuming in manner. All his sons except one live in this state and they started immediately upon receipt of the news of his death, to be present at the funeral. The above from the Albion News will be sad news to the many friends of Rev. Rush in this city, who will long remem ber him as a genial christian gentleman, and a faithful, conscientious and able minister of the gospel.

The Washington correspondent of Thk Jourkaii has gone to the trouble of sending us two seeds that he gathered from trees overhanging the tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon, evidently thinking that, as an editor, we would plant them on our land, name them after the Father of his Country, and point at them with pride, more or less honorable. But there are quite a number of minor matters that might be mentioned where in it ia not commendable to walk even in his footsteps, and this, we humbly beg leave to remark, ia one of them. The conventional cherry-tree episode was another, for instance but you can make vonr own catalogue. The seeds that Mr. F. A. Harrison has sent are honey locust, acdif they should prove true to name, as we doubt not they would, we could not get the consent of our practical farm manager to put them in the soil any where on the place, having too many of them there already to suit our liking bnt how they got there, is another story. If any one desires these seeds and will promise, faithfully to plant and care for them, he is welcome to them. Thanks, all the same, to Harrison, who, by fol lowing the suggestion of a moment has aaade his name historic in the anaals of Nebraska, School Art Exhibit.

In the First ward, Miss Anna Hoe hen, principal. Misses Eulala Rickly and Emma Dawson, teachers, assisted by Miss Nellie Lynch of the Second ward. The large room with the cloak room were filled to overflowing with drawings, paintings and reproductions from masterpieces. Several pictures, Kmnaht from Switzerland and other foreign countries, were notable. An interesting program was given by the scholars. In the High school, Miss Elizabeth Sheehan arranged the display in her room, it being the best arranged of any for such a display, as the light comes from one direction. Her room, like the others, was filled with a good collection, including several curios. Some valua ble china was loaned by Miss Friedbof.
