.9 "r- THE COURIER. Ik IN SOCIETY. The following from the World Herald, will bo noted with interest in this city: "An engagement was an nounced during the week which pleasantly stirred tho summer lethargy and gave society something to talk about. It was that of Miss Gertrude Chambers, daughter of Mr. William Chambers, of Omaha, and Mr., Guy Parkes.of Decatur, III. Mr. Parkes is not a stranger here, where he lived until five years ago and was connected with the Bank of Com merce. It was during his visit here early in tho week that he announced his happiness in capturing one of Omaha'tf loveliest and sweetept society girls." Miss Chambers visited in Lincoln frequently in tho last two years, as the guest of Mias Leila Shears, and was much admired in this city. Gasoline parties are rather an inno vation in Lincoln. but tteRavolaclub was compelled to give one Wednesday even ing. Tho electric lights ilickered out early in the evening und the manager of the Beach secured gasoline Haulers by tho light of which tho dance con tinued. Tho subdued, light did not lessen tho ardor of the merry party. Mr. John II. Farwcll and Miss Agnes Sowall led tho grand march, followed by Misses Kleutsch, Brooks, Ricketts, Fechet, Raymond, Whedon, Lottridge, Leland, Maude Oakley, Helen Burr, Green, Burnham, Coon of Omaha. Risser, Nance, Richards, Winger, Flo Winger, Terrell of Kentucky, Dethlefe, Mae Burr. Hargreaveg.llooper, Putnam, Graham, Rector, Harley, Duff of Ne braska City, ImhofT, Hammond, Hollow bush, Latta. Messrs. Lottridge, Marine, Sawyer, Ricketts, Wing, Raymond, Pulis, White, Malialieu, Oakley, Evans, Barrett, Harley, Cooler, Risser, Cullen, Winger, Ourey, Sawyer, L. P.; Clark, Steiner, Meyer, Houtz, Wilkes, Putnam, Joers, Ward, Haughton, Walsh, MarJey, Lansing. Through July a number of small and thoroughly enjoyable swimming parties for ladies have been given in the morn ings at the sanitarium. Mrs. Gere gave a small party Tuesday morning for Mrs. Little, ana last Saturday morning Mrs. W. B. Ogden entertained a few friends at the sanitarium, the party comprising Mrs. Little, Miss Clark, Mrs. Carl Funke, Mrs. S. E. Moore, Miss Harris and Mrs. Charles L. Burr. A correspondent at Milford sends me the following: "For some years past Milford has been visited by occasional parties of Lincoln people, and the people here have hoped that the day would come when Milford would come to be regarded as a distinctively Lincoln summer resort. Progress was mae slowly until this year, when Lincoln people have encamped here in large numbers. The groves near the Sanitarium, now utilized as a soldiers home, and the shady banks above the dam have for some time been dotted with the tents of Lincoln campers, and while many returned this week, word has been received that a large number of new arrivals may bo expected. At Camp Comfort I found a particularly jolly party of campers. This party was chaperoned by the popular sheriff of Lancaster county, Fred Miller, and Mrs. Miller, "and included Misses Zoe and Freda Miller.Mrs. S. E. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Dillon, Mr. and Mrs. William Lawlor Al Bowen, Robert Chartres, Lute Morse, Miss Minnie Hale, MLs Bertha Larsen. Miss Lulu Krone, Mi6S Hallie Lawlor. The members of this party had many interesting experiences during their sojourn hre, and some of them were fortunate in getting back to Lincoln with their lives. Al Bowen ic particular was in deadly peril nearly all of tho time, surrounded as he was on all Bides by charming girls. It was the pre vailing opinion in camp that Mr. Bowen's affections were pietty well distributed among the charmers. Mr. Miller, the host, was not at all concerned about politics, but busied himself caring for his guests. I would recount the bravery of Al Bowen in rescuing Miss Hale from the deep Blue, but I notice it was recorded in last week's Courier. Mr. Bowen's friends are won dering whether he will give this episode the proper romantic ending. Tho ladies have had some genuine amusement at the expense of the men who promised thm an abundance of fish. Every day the men would set out lines properly baited, butthere was no catch to speak of, and it was nec cessary to purchase each day a supply of fish from an accomodating angler who happened by in tho mornings. After several dajs it transpired that the fish erman obtained his supply from the set lines of the men of Camp Comfort, and there arose a coldness between the men and the fish pedler. Wednesday of last week Al Bowen in company with Miss Krone and Miss Lawlor drove to the station to meet the Lincoln train. On the return tho party encountered three assertive little animals whose names are seldom mentioned in polite society. Mr. Bowen lost no time in whipping up and the party was saved. Next to Mr. Miller's camp was Camp Trinity, composed of Miss Etta Ross and her Sunday school class in the Trinity M. E. church, and her father, F. M. Ross. There were nine bright active boys in camp, and they enjoyed the outing immensly. Oue little fellow narrowly escaped being drowned while trying to learn to swim. He was rescued just in the nick of time by Mr.Koss. Some of the boys took home a liberal supply flsh. Mr. Miller's party returned to Lincoln the first of the week" Notable in the series of delightful en tertainments which have been given for Mrs. Charles N. Little, of California, in the past few weeks, was the luncheon given by Mrs. C. H. Gere Wednesday at 1 o'clock. Those present were Mrs. S. H. Burnham, Mrs. Hurlbut, Mrs. W. B. Ogden, Mrs. R. C. Outcalt. Mrs. Little, Mrs. Carl Funke, Mrs. .Charles L. Burr, Mrs. Otto Funke, Miss Sarah Harris, Mrs. Little expects to leave for Cal ifornia the middle of next week. Mr. and Mrs, Walter B. Hargeaves and Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Leonard intend leaving for New York in a few days, wheie they will join Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Sheldon for a few weeks sojourn at the Atlantic coast summer resorts. Bert Wheeler left Omaha for New York last week, intending to meet Judge Cornish of St Paul, for the purpose of taking testimony in the Union Pacific cases. Earnest O.Ames, of this city, and B. E. Forbes ofBeatrice, are in Chicago in attendance upon the 56th annual con vention of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, holding at the Chicago Beach hotel, Julp 2529. They are the delegated representees tf the University of Nebraska chapter. Friends of Mr. C. H. Morrill have been having some amusement at the expense of that gentleman, who in addition to the distinction that has attached to him by reason of his services as regent of tbe state university and his zeal as a republican, has something of local reputation as a nimrod. Mr. Morrill and Mr. J. H. Ager have gone out on a good many shooting excursions together, and it is only a few days since that they went out on the last Mr. Morrill is somewhat doubtful if Mr. Atrer will ever be permittted to enjoy his society again. Ager is something of a joker, and an opportunity presen ting itself, he had some fun with the chairman of the republican state central comtnitte. Morrill had just purchased or had presented to him a tine new gun, and the twain went out to try it, Ager supplying the ammunition. Now Ager had two pockets in his hunting jackett, one containing bona fide shells, and the other, shells filled with salt. Mr. Morrill with his pretty new gun was impatient for a nhoC and he asked for a shell. He got one filled with salt. He exploded the gun with no apparent result. He asked for more shells and got more salt and failing to hit anything he became a trifle excited. He tried wing shots and line shots, and even rested his gun on a rock; but the shells all coming from Ager's salt pocket, the only result was a little harmless smoke and the words that Mr. Morrill did speak. Finally as Mr. Morrill was about to break his tine new gun to pieces on a rock, having reached this point when his companion using his new piece was able to hit everything in sight, Ager disclosed The secret of the shells, and the latter says, it looked for a few minutes as if he would take the place of the rock, in having the gun broken over him. Mr. Morrill is not talking much about his latest shoot ing experience. Miss Daisy Tuttle will give a concert in Y. M. C. A. hall, August 6th. SOCIETY Thk Courier's regular cor IX respondent in Omaha sends OMAHA the following: I hear that Mr. Harry Lyman goes east in tne iall to be present t his brother's wedding. He will take up his residence in New York and enter tho college of Physicians and Surgeons, and when Omaha claims him again it will be as Dr. Lyman. Miss Buck left for the east on Thurs day. There is no pleasanter drive around Omaha this warm weather than out the 19th street boulevard, through the parks and around to the Post. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings the 2nd Infantry band gives an open air concert and the roadway out to Fort Umaha is crowded with numberless vehicles and wheels. It is cool out there the music is excellent and one comes back very much refreshed for the outing. General Coppinger and Lieutenant Hutchinson left for Idaho on Thursday. The Indian troubles in that part of the country have assumed such proportions that the cavalry has been ordered out and the general takes the field in person.
