Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Holder enter
tanned a number of their friends at
their home on Friday evening last, in
honor OF Miss Todd, and Miss Tolleth.
The entertainment consisted of music,
games, and delicious refreshments.
Miss Tolleth Of Fairbury, favored the
guests with several selections Of piano
music, that were most delightfully."-
rendered. The lady is one Of the
most expert amatures in the state Of
Nebraska, and showed a skill that is
seldom found. Mrs. Dulau OF this
city also sustained her reputation by
playing a medley Of popular airs,
while Miss Mccormick captivated all
by her rendition of song, Mr. and
Mrs. Holder proved themselves most
hospitable entertainers.

noon, charged with rape. OF course
everybody else was there, but as the
above named gentlemen secured their
seats before dinner and retained them

seats. Dispatch.
Differently from the modest writer

DIR. Wallace met with a severe
accident on the Midland Railroad
near Colorado Springs Thursday last.
A car he was in upset, and was drag
ged along on its side for about two
car lengths. Some forty passengers
were IN the car at the time, none Of
whom were seriously hurt. The doc
tor was on the top side, and fell onto
q car seat, and came out Of the wreck
badly shook up. He assisted in car
ing for those who were hurt more SER
iously than he was, and came home
Sunday, He has been kept at home
as he is too sore to get about.
The case in Smith county against
L. A. Golden who furnished this coun-
ty with seed corn, has been thrown
ont Of court. This business mans ad-
ministration is having hard luck. The
case was started by Attorney General
Dawes, and we understand that our
local authorities did not have anything
TO do with it. The court held that the
individual farmers who got the corn
should bring suit and not the railroad
commissioners. This probably ends
the matter.

on or write to William Bissell, who
can offer you good bargains on favor
