HOW CHRISTMAS WAS SPENT The Churches Well Attended and Beautifully Decorated. ONE UNHAPPY HOUSEHOLD. The Husband Knocked the Merriment Out of the Day- Cupid Makes the Bells Ring—Personals and Locals. The Holy Hollday. A more beautiful day never dawned on earthi than Christmas morning 1887, The sun rose in a perfectly cloudless sky, and the at- mosphere was cool and bracing, but not too cold for comfort. The comparatively few who arose in time to enjoy the earlier hours were impressed with the perfectness of the day, and expressed hearty wishes for a “Merry Christmas,” and the continued happiness and prosperity of their friends. The day, on the whole, was unusually quiet throughout the g The printers’ ball of the preceding nlxhl was prolonged until 4 o'clock mn the morning, and the tired dancers slept the greater portion of the day, many not appear- ing on the streets until late in the afternoon. The various churches were well filled at the morning se , after which the congrega- tions dispersed to give their undivided atten- tion to their Christmas diuners. The hotels took advantage of the occasion and all mude extensive preparations. Some of the spreads were very eluborate, The number of mar ried men'who took their families to dine at the hotels was very large, A change scemed to be much appre y of the regu- lar hotel boarder eived invitations “to break bread in private fatailies, and cage ted. A scuson of feasting was gene aply indulged in.

To-morrow being the time of festivity there that auditorium will be beautifully embellished for the oceasion. The service' was one ap- propriate to the day. *Isaiah prophesied,” said Dr. Cooley, *that the name_of Christ should be called Wonderful.” Directing h hearers to this thought the speaker con- tinued: “The time of the ¢ has con | christians are reminded of tho f our Lord, and by them his birth is everywhere commemorated. It is, and ought to be, u time of of joy and gladness, a time of gifts und rejoiciug, and all_enmitics are forgotten and peace prevails. 1n predic ing his coming the prophet uses various terms tive of his person and his works. Christ is wonderful beeause of the prophs s concerning him. When man sinned there was immediotely given the promise to ou fivst parents, “It shall bruise thy head.” To it was said: “‘In thy sced shail o the nations of the earth be blessed; Moses, “*A prophet like unto thee Lord your 30d rise up fxom the wmidst of thy brethren like unto me. Unto him shall ye hearken:” to David, “God had sworn with an cath to him that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;” to Isaiah, “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. und u branch shall grow out of his roots. Christ was wonderful in the types und service symbolizing him; in the shaping of all events in the history to Hi follow f the world previous ming and the changes which have as i result of His coming. He wus wonderful in the circumstances of His birth —the star in the east, the song of the angels and the coming of the wise men. In His na- turc_he wus hoth God and man. He wa wonderful in his sinless life, in his_wmarvel- ous power over uature, disease and deat in his doctrines and teaching; in his death and resurrection, and in his glory.

Me. and'Mrs. Leopold Peck gave, on Thursday last, a brilliant veception to ahout 27 at the handsome n building, 1 ? which the piano fivm of M Hardmann, Peck & Co., have just erected, at No. 138 Fifth avenue. The company in- cluded y distinguished per- sons of the musical, lit and d matic world. One of the many pleasant features of the evening was a concert, consisting of an inte ing sclection performed by distinguished soloists and the members of Mr. Ernest Meyer’s band. Muvs. J. M. Rothschild, the handsome wife of a Cal- ifornia banker, who is possessed perb voice, scored a by ier admirable rendering of L’Estasi d’Amore,” faultless delivery and refined Mme. Natalli, an’ American lady who has just returned from Paris, where she has studied under Mme. Marchesi, sang Rosini’s well-known scene and aria from Rosini’s **‘Barber of Seville,” with a fresh, young soprano voice, and fine, thoroughly artistic taste. Miss Lulu Veling, who will shortly appear in_one of our great symphony s,i8 a young artist of decided promise. Her interpretation of Liszt’s brilliant Pantasic on airs from *‘Don Giovunni,” was in every way a most re- markable effort. Miss Ollie Torbett’s rendering of Leonard’s “*Souvenir de Babe™ was likewlse a most praiseworthy effort. Among the other solo performances, Signor Balaguia’s singing of a well known aria from Donizetti’s **Lucretia Bm'mu. ' Mrs. M. Richard’s playing of sclection of pianaforte music; Signor Briz i's ren from **Do- rina,” and Signor Avencibia's render- ing of asong from “Carmen” deserve particular mention. After the concort the guests were en- tertained at an cxcellent banquet, at which a number of speeches were made by several prominent guests, and the hcalth of the amiable host and hostess and many other toasts were drunk in foruming bumpers of champagne. After the concert a dance was started, and kept up until the wee hours of the morn- ing. The guests went home, thor- oughly delighted with their evening, and full of enthusiasm for their amiable hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Peck. The enter- tainment will, no doubt, prove one of the social events of the season. *The “Hardman” Grand, which was performed on in the different pianoforte selections,has seldom been heard to be ter advantage. or shown its brilliancy of tone and splendid gnalities, better than it did on this occasion. ‘Phe audience applauded again and again, and expressed themselves more than delighted and charmed with ihe excellent musical qualities of the “Hardman” Grand The Mueller Music Co.. 103 Main St., Council Bluffs and 1514 St. Mary's ave- nue, Omaha. are the agents for these celebrated Pianoes. B A MAN WITH A BROKEN NECK. Alive in Spite of a Terrible Exper- ience. St. Paul Globe: Some new method of capital punishment must be devised. Theve is a living witness to the fact thut & hroken neck does not necessarily cause death, and as a broken neck is essential clement of hanging, a must come. On the third floor ollet house, Minneapolis, o lunun!iun of physicians looked with rofessional interest and much non- sional wonder at Barney Baldwin, uts the anatom ical paradox of a b living with abroken neck.

I was n brakeman on the Lou ville & Nashvillg'yailroad, and the acei- dent happened last 19th of Muarch at I!Innmt ham, Aln. I was on a_caboose when the throttle of the engine flew open and t erk threw me off. It was a desperate struggle for life. In the fall T dislocated my left shoulder, and the next moment eu roke my right arm, ing to cateh the step of a caboose as it'went over me. As the engine came along I'threw up my leg to catch the foot board and broke it in_two places, and the next moment the ash pan struck me and 1 was gone. When I was &imd up unconcious, I had my neck, oth arme, both legs and five ribs bro- ken. Suffer! Of course I do, and it makes me irritable, and sometimes flighty jn my talk. For three months I lay on a_rubber mattress filled with water. ‘You furnish the science and I'll find the nerve,’ I said to the doc- tors.” Yet in spite of all this, there Barney sat and talked easily of his bruises. He is cut and scarred from head to heels, and um«(.mll_\ wears the corset and ma When the accident occurred he wore a ;.mld watch in his pocket, which was missing for fourteen hours. Finally, after cutting a bolt head from his chest near the collar bone, the surgeon cut the watch from his side, where it had been forced by the cruel pressure I believe he will get well,’ said Dr. Allen. ‘This I baseon my father’s case. Ithink the ligaments will gradually grow stronger until he can support his head without that frame. It may take two years yet.” “T'can wait that long,” said Barney cheerfully, ““but it is very tough. There s not a minute in whu'h I do not suffer, Still T think [ notice signs of improve- ment. For a while I could not see and 1 had no control of my limbs. When the doctor told me to raise my vight arm, my left one would come up, and the same way with my legs. Tdon't do that now. In the morning, when I wake up, I rub my eyes and the doctors say that is a good sign.” This is A‘I'I'dl"l\' asingular and very interesting case. Tt appears the cervieal vertebrre were disloeated, without dam- aging the spinal cord seriously, so that life was not enda wgered, though the support of the head is removed.

San Francisco Examiner: In the fall of 1839 a party of Mexicans were travel- ing through what is now Butte county, their destination being the valley where the town of Chico now stands. The train of horses and wagons with whicn the men and women were journeying in the slow style of that day belonged toa Spaniard named Lap He and his family constituted the principal portion of the party. He had many an acre in Alta, Cal,, and on his lands rrazed innumerable horses and cattle, but his most prized possession was a daughter, who was then, at sixteen years of age, the very embodiment of all that soft beauty and” sensuous grace peculiar to the women of Castilian de- scent. It was natural for men to fall in love with her. Like all girls with the warm, passionate blood of Mexico coursing in her veins, her bodily development had been rapid, her affections had ripened early,and at sixteen years of age she was already » woman. ‘Among those who were her worship- ers were an American named Thomas Lansing, who had been born in Ver- mont, and a Scotchman named Harvey McGruigan, They were constantly near her, and the influence of her pr ence never allowed their love to McGruigan had more opportuni than Lansing to be in her society and advance his suit, since he was secretary to Don Lapezada and took his meals at the table with the family. Lansing was the wagon boss and had general charge of the caravan while on the road. Both had lived in Mexico and among the Me ns for along time and were as familiar with the language as a native. MecGruigan was a pleasant wooer, be- sides being much handsomer than Lan- sing, and soon the latter saw that his rival was smiled upon, while he himself hadnoneof the girl'sregard. Naturally fiery tempered, Lansing conceived a violent hatred for the Scotchman and never missed a chance toseek a row with McGruigan. Throughout the journey he had repeatedly endeavored to involve McGruigan in trouble, It was thus matters stood when the valley in which Gridley is situated was reached. There Lansing insulted McGruigan in such & manner that the latter yielded to his angry feelings and challenged the other to aduel. This was just what Lansing desired. He had been waiting for the moment when he might kill his successful rival ever since the lovely senorita had let the Scotchman know that her heart was all his own. None of the usual formalities of the code was needed for such a counter as the men proposed. They repaired to a grove of a timber then occupying the site of what is at present the town of Gridley, and there, after a short space had been measured off, began shooting at each other with their pistols. Three shots were fired by each man. The third bullet from Lansing’s pistol was eflec- tive. The ambition of his hatred had been satisfied, as the leaden pellet en- tered McGruigan's brain and he fell down dead. Langing himself had re- ceived a bullet in his left arm, aud one shot from MeGruigan’s weapon had car- vied away the lobe of his right ear. Having satisfied himself that Mc- Gruigan was dead and would trouble him no longer, Lansing turned to leave the spot. He had rve)l aced his pistol in his belt and given a la lnm_v glance at the face of the dead , when from be- i R nad e g Pl AEat She crept up behind Lansing and stabbed him in the neck with a stiletto, severing the jugular vein. He sunk on the grass and died. The girl had noticed the two men leaving camp, had been attracted to the scene of the duel by Ihn sound of the firing, and had ar- rived there in time to see the man she loved fall lifeless to the ground. The fate of the girl hersell secms to h been forgotten. GREAT DISCOUNT SALE -- OF 20 PER CENT ON HATS AND CAPS FOR CASH. 1514 DOUGLAS STREET, - - - OMANA, SPECIAL NOTICES.
