E. Gosper's, 1201 O street, Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woods entertain ed the Kishmet club Thursday night Died, on the evening of March 20th, from grip, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, "Colonel" William W. Wil son, a resident of Lincoln since 1869. He has boarded at the Lincoln hotel since it was erected. He was a me thodical man. He came to his meals at the Eame hour every day for years. He has sat in the same seat at the Oliver since the theatre was ererted. He kept the same friends and cronies. Present at his bedside were his only brother, Mr. J. R. Wilson of this city, Mrs. Carrie Covert, his sister, and Mr. George Cov ert, her eon, both of Lincoln, and Mr. W. W. Cook, a nephew, of Hickman. The remains will be taken toGreensburg Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, where he was born and where he had asked to be buried, in the family lot. During the past few years he has travel, ed extensively in this country and made four or five trips to Europe. He made one or two visits to Mexico. Mr. Wil son was born at Greensburg, Pennsyl vania, November 15, 1824. He graduat ed from the Jefferson Washington col lege near Pittsburg. He read law for a time but never practised. In 1819 he removed to Fort Madison, Iowa, where he taught school for a time. Later he was clerk at the court of Animoea. He moving to Council Bluffs he engaged in the real estate business. When the war broke out he was in the legislature of Iowa. He joined an Iowa regiment and served two years, when he resigned on account of his health. Coming to Nebraska, he finally took up his resi dence at Lincoln in 1869. In 1870 he was elected on the board commissioned to erect the penitentiary. He is widely known throughout the county. He was never married and never joined a church though he was baptized in the Presby terian church and affiliated with that denomination. His charities have been extended to nearly every church in the city and he was always ready to help the needy. He did not display his be nevolences. In the past few years he has given considerable of his property to his relatives. Besides the relatives named, two sisters survive him, Rux ana and Mary Anne Wilson, both living at Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Died, in Kansas City on Monday, Mrs. Frances Traver Quigley. Mrs. Qaigley was the daughter of the late George M. Traver who lived for a num ber of years at Tenth and South streets. She had many friends and acquaint ances in this city. Lawn Contest, The committee appointed by the City lmyrovement society has agreed upon rules governing the contest. A resident of Lincoln has moat gen erously given to the city improvement society $150 to be awarded as prizes, to reeidenta'whose property is within the city limits, and which is kept in the most attractive condition during the summer. Any property not having a value in excess of 83,000 is permitted to enter the contest. A committee of in spection will be appointed by the so ciety. Members of this committee will make an inspection every month, ard -will announce the award on October 1. Firet prize 850; second prize 825; third prize. 820; fourth prize. 815; four prizes of 810 each. The object of this offer is to induce a larger nnrnber of house holders to take prida in their door yards. Leasees may enter the contest as well as owners. It is expected that homes having -a value of only a few hun dred dollars will contest, and in many cases the interest of children will be invoked. This idea has been carried out most successfully in other cities, and surely Lincoln has a most untidy field, in which to begin her work. Will you not respond heartily to this offer, and let the condition of your yards, both front and rear, parking and alleys, testify your readiness to help in making your own city neat and attractive? The number of house, and name and street of those contesting must be 6ent to the secretary of the city improvement so ciety, Mrs Nellie M. Kichardson, 106 Burr block. Omaha Notes. The Cooking club met with Mrs. Luther Kountze Wednesday afternoon to sew. Next Wednesday the club will give a luncheon with Miss Kountze. Mr. K. S. Berlin gave a dinner in the white and gold dining room at the Mil lard on Friday of last week for Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cudahy. Mrs. Lomax and MiBB Lomax were the other guests. The Hebrew Benevolent society gave a ball Tuesday evening at the Metropol itan for the benefit of the poor Jews of the city for the Passover. Owing to the stormy night the attendance was some thing of a disappointment to the presi dent of the society, Mr. Rabinowitz, who had worked to make the ball a suc cess. Dimmick's orchestra furnished delightful music for the dancing and light refreshments were served, and the evening was much enjoyed by the sixty couples in attendance. On Monday Miss Taylor entertained the Jahmel-Ghecel club at her home on South Twenty-eiehth street. As ububI, the afternoon's entertainment was "six, ty- three" and the prize was won by Mias Hany Patterson. Luncheon was served at a .daintily arranged table, where at each place was found a small candle. Every candle was lighted at the eame time and kept burning as long as there was anything left of it. The girl whose candle lasted longest received a pretty candlestick as a prize, Mi&s Edith Dumont being the fortunate one. ' Dr. Victor H. Coffman, who. has been confined to his bed for the past six weeks as a result of a serious injury re ceived from a fall, has gone south. Mrs. Lawton gave an informal Ken sington tea on Wednesday afternoon for Mrs. Learned of Chelsea, Mass. About a dozen women were present, including Mrs. Learned, Mrs. Low, Mre. lleeson, Mrs. Baum, Miss Wakeley and Mies Emily Wakeley, and the afternoon was one of those delightfully cosy ones that only Lent brins. The indefatigable Hutcheson, who, when stationed in Omaha, was a regular Pooh-Bah at army headquarters, has been heard from. As adjutant general, inspector general, judge advocate general and in command during the absence of anybody who ranked him, he frequently had to review his own decisions, much to the amusement of his friends, some what after the manner of Secretary Hay, who has just attested his own fitness for office, as there was no one else to do it. Captain Hutche3on has sent to tho Omaha club a card of admission to the U. S. Army club of Pekin, by means of which any member of the club who happens to be over in China can drop in and make himself at home. Even in this Hutch figures twice, onco as rec ommending the Omaha club and again as approving the recommendation. The card is on Chinese vellum, hektographed in purple. In the will of J. J. Brown, which has just been admitted to probate, several tracts of real estate are bequeathed to the widow, Missouri K. Brown; a 'A J -
