A pocket-book was left in Cocke & Morgan's on Christmas by a lady who can have the same by calling for it. The Walnut Bureau issued & Christmas number, which was a beauty typograph- feally, and full of Interesting hollday matter. Oharles Lefferts, of the Nonpareil, was marrled on Christmas day to Miss Baldwin, at the latter's home In. Keos- auqua, Towa. The hop given by the Maenerchor soci- ety in Beno's hallproved a delightfal one. The Bavarlan band furnished the music, and all went merry. The steamplipes in the Council Blufis Herald office got 8o badly frozen by the Christmas lay off that the paper was greatly delayed last evenlng. The clerks in the employ ot J. Muel- lor surprised that gentleman ongChrist- mas morning by presenting him with a black walnut desk. A very handsome one. 3 In the district court yesterday the case of Doyle was being tried. He is the young man arrested at the drlving park during the races, for trying to pick Mr. Goodwin's pocket. Mr. Jno. E.

Wooley and Mary Henderson huaband and wife. The event took place at the reaidence of the bride’s parents, on Frauklin street. The G. A. R. relief ball was not large- ly attended but was an enjoyable affair. It was unfortunate that the affalr was held when there were so many other events to attract public attention, as the cause is a worthy ons, meriting liberal patronage. The printers’ masquerade was very largely attended and proved a great suc- cess. Kxcellent musio was furnished by the Musical Union of Omaha, and there was a great number and varlety of cos- tumes, The affair wae well managed throughout. The Daneho society celebrated Christ- masin a jolly gathering at thelr hall on Main strest Wednesday night. Among the many features was a regular old- fashioned Christmas tree, which was laden with many. rich gifts, with a sprinkling of sly jokes. “Ring out the old, ring In the new, ring out the false, ring in the true”— Spiritual clrcle to morrow (Sunday) af- ternoon aund evening, at 2 and 7:30 o'clock, in Soirltual hall, entrance via stairs on Maln and Pearl streets, 'two doors south of the postofiice, Mes.

Gough in Masonic hall last evening was an event of more than passing Interest. For forty-two years Mr. Gough has been before the publle, but by some strange chance has never spoken here before, al- though ho has passed through the city many times, He is now making a six woeks' trip through tho west, and lectures at Sloux City to-night. The Y. M. C. A., at the suggestion and by the help of Mr. A. B. Walker, availed themselves of the opportunity presented by his passing through the city, and secured him to lec- ture here last evening. Despite the short time given for mak- no one foels badly about its lack of sue- cess, The ball was a lead one and was fixed by some unknown person at some unknown place, It was about noon on Christmas day that this came flying ap- parently from the directlon of Pierce stroet, and piorcing the ‘window of the barber shop opposite the Ogden house, went through the window shutters, and though pretty well spent hy that time strack Theo. Thomas on the shoulder with sufficient force to knock the shears out of his hand. No one In the shop heard the roport of the revolver or gun, and no one seems to be ready to say who fired the shot or for what purpose. It was probably a case of recklessness, E——— UPSET SALE AT METCALF BROS, e — McClurg's self-rising buckwheat flonr always ready for use. Try it. PERSONAL, W. A, Boyd has returned from Kansas City.

Mr. Gough's voice was sadly in contrast with the urging tones of his younger years, and the loss of elasticity and sprightliness, natura lwith advancing years, caused perhaps disappointment among some, but stil] his fand of storics seems as exhaustless as ever, and his telling of them Inimitable to those who had never heard him, the change was not, of course, noticeable, and for all there was enough of fire and enough of eloquence, both of word and action to entertaln greatly, McClurg's relf-rising buckwheat flour Is the best.

Among the events were the following: THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, There was a happy observance of Christmas here. An entertalnment was given in the church, lasting from about 6 to 7:30 o’clock, The programme con- sisted of tablesux, recitations, music, and various exercises. Santa Claus was present in full costume, and added the novelty of bringing Mrs. Santa Claus with him. There was also a little letter carrier who brought in various missives to old Santa, including one which brought Mr. Judd, the superintendent, to the front to receive an elegant present from the achool. A large box for the school wasfound to contaln little children, who came swarming out and performing a nice little exerclse. Then, in closing the box, thus emptled, was filled with gifts for the poer. After the entertain- ment there was a supper spread in the rooms below, where a merry feasting and social time was had. THE METHODISTS Held thelr Christmas doings Wednesday night. A musical and literary pro- gramme was presented, and as a peculi- arly happy leature there was an ingather- ing of presents for the poor. AT ST. PAUL'S. The Sunday school of St. Paul's Epis- copal church was pleasantly entertained Christmas eve with a tree, glfts, cards, ete., and the presence of Santa Claus, There were speclal services at the church yesterday forenoon, The muiscal part of the services was speclally fine. Mrs. Roff, the new soprano, won special praise. ——— ‘Wall paper and intertor decorations at P. C. Miller’s, 13 Pearl street. Gt iy UPSET SALE AT METCALF BRO'S.

It is Sct for Trial Next Tuesday, Preparations are being made by the prosecution for the trial of Dr. Cross, for the murder of Dr. McKune. The judge yesterday set the case for mext Tuesday, and unless the defense makes some change the trial will commence then, Ths state yesterday suggested to the court that a special venire be issued for additional jurymen and this will prob- ably be done, The case is so well-known in this viclnity that there will doubtless be difficulty in securing a jury. The state claims to have discovered a great deal of new and strong testimony, one being an eye witness, the other belng in regard to threats made by Dr. Cross against Dr. McXune. ——— Ask your grocer for McClurg’s self- ralsing buckwheat.
