The startled family could not realize that death had come. Medi- cal assistance was at once summoned, but the bysicians upon their arrival could ‘only in- cota the family that he was beyond human e ae. Barnum was well known in business circles iu this city. He was born in New York state fifty-four years ago, and has been a resident of this city for the past twenty-five years, He was engaged in the clothing business on F street for a number of years, and about six years ago he opened the store 931 Pennsylvania avenue, where he conducted a successful busi- ness. He hasbeen closely identified with the work of the Young Men’s Christian association in this city, and at the time of his death he was amember of the board of directors. He was an elder in the Gurley Memorial church and interested in the work of the associated chari- ties and in that of other religious and charita- ble organizations. At a meeting of the Y.M.C.A, last night ap- propriate resolutions were adopted relative to the death of Mr. Barnum, who for nineteen years has been a member of the board of di- rectors, —__-—_ AMUSEMENTS.

I quite agree with the demand of “One of Many” in yesterday's Srax for the repeal of the infamous building lien law, which makes one line of business men a privileged class, without regard to the rights of the rest of the com- munity, and seriously retards the growth of the city. Lagree with that writer also in the view that there must be immediate and organized action to secure this revult, and I beg to suggest that this is a matter that might very properly be taken hold of and pushed by the Board of Trade. Feed anlar of that body, as I understand it, is to advance the prosperity of the city. One of the surest ways to do this is to secure the repeal of that odious and out- rageous law; and if the Board of ‘Trade would work half as vigorously to have it taken from the statnte book as those who are specially benetited by its provisions at the expense of every other mterest in the city do to keep it there, I feel sure it would be wiped out without delay. Pro Boxo Pusiico. January 23, eee A “Rush” at the High School. Friday at noon was the time selected for the spnual burial of the geometry at the high school. Heretofore all such burials have re- ceived the sympathy of the whole school, but not so this time, for the class of "9 had to con- tend against an overwhelming force of "91 and "92 boys. Although the "Ws were outnumbered they were thoroughly organized and deter- mined, and besides carrying out their purpose they succeeded after a long struggle in drub- bing their opponents, ‘The original idea of burying the book upon the campus had to be rejected on account of the frozen ground and the torch was applied in its stead. The remnants of the burned book Were divided among the boys of '90 and some ieces found their way into the hands of the jay who proudly pinned them to their ts. ey Good Templar Meeting.

Darlington of the Manager, ington audiences either in “La Tosca” or in bumerous other of her well-kuown plays, and the large audiepce at Albangh’s last night to see her in this {ast play of hers was an indica- tion that as an actress she has won a perma- nent popularity, ‘La Tosca” is not a play that lets the sunshine in throngh the rifts of the clouds, although in the first two acts Floria is given full scope to show her pretty powers of coquetry and ities Davenport fills the role ad- mirably. In the tragedy and gloom of the play she is not less the artist, but the conditions are not in harmony with her natural temperament and the result is less pleasing. Mr. McDowell's Baron Scarpia is a strong character and he | does it well, albeit he lacks that subtlety which | conceived the character and embodied it i® Scorpia. The Cavuradossi of Mr. Roberts was a gracetul and sympathetic piece of work, given with true feeling. The company in the main was good, with some room for improve- ment in places, which, however, may as well stand for the sake of contrast. The interest in the play was sustained tothe end and there was not a movement in the audience until the eur- tain went down on the dead Floria and her dead lover, victims both to the dead Scerpia, Again tonight. Narioxat—‘Tue Ooran.”—If Mr. Francis Wilson were not the best singing comedian in the United States “The Oolah” would be high up in the category of the worst singing come- dies, With Mr. Wilson, however, us its soul, and an exquisite harmony of color in costumes and scenery as its body, “The Qolah” has ac- quired a popular entity which is as attractive as itis mexplicable. The poverty of its dia- | logue and of its music is noticeable, and it is enriched in wit only by an addition of ques- tionable suggestiveness, Yet it has gone every- where with a rush, aud last night at the National the audience overflowe gainst the walls, Miss Jansen was as winning as usual, Mr, Hub Smith's ‘Tale of Woe” by Mr. Wilson and Miss Jansen, and his “Song That Broke My Heart” by Mr. Wilke were bright spots on the play, “The Oolah” will be given again tonight and every uight this week, and it goes without saying that it will attract large audiences because it has “caught on” properly, Hannris’—"Tue Faxie.”—That fanny farcical comedy entitled “The Fakir” was the attraction at the Bijou last evening, and the large audi- ence fully appreciated the performance. “The Fakir” is something diff than has ever ap- peared at this house, and while the author has made no attempt at a plot he has woven the characters in such a manner as to show each oue’s specialty to the best advantage. The com- pany is good one and each individual member au artist in his or her particularline. Thc ladies of the company are particularly good, headed by Miss Flora Moore, the Irish delineator, whose songs and dance called forth frequent applause. Again tonight RERNA’ s1z-SaNTLEY.—The Rentz-Sant- y and burlesque company opened a return engagement at this favorite resort last night before one of the largest audiences of the season. The original extravaganza, “La Tosea’s Reception; or, A Moonlight Dip,” pened the performance, and from that on the audience enjoyed the gorgeous spectacle of shapely forms and dazzling scenery. The spe- cialty acts of Booker and Leigh, Frank Lester, ‘Miss Pauline Batcheller and Le Clair and Les- lie were all of tae highest order. A burlesque on “Antony and Cleopatra” closed the per- formance. Every night and usual matinees, A Bazan axp Lowcu will be held in the GA.

Harrison, a young man indicted for housebreaking, plead guilty in the Criminal Court this morning. Mr. Albert Sellers, for the prisoner, stated that the defendant had been on a protracted spree and had spent quite an amount of money in the saloon intotwhich he broke and took a bottle of whisky anda bundle of cigarettes, Assistant District Attor- ney Lipscomb stated that the circumstances had been correctly given and that it would be agreeable to the office to suspend sentence. ‘The chief justice said that he bad some dgubts as to the exercise of the right which properly belongs to the pardoning power. It seemed to him that the trict attorney might enter a nolle prosequi. The case went over till Saturday, me A Prize Fight Next Month. Articles of agreement were signed last night by Mike Raedy, the hard-hitting blacksmith, and Michael Bolger for a fight to a finish with | skin-tight gloves on or about the 27th of next month for a purse of $200 aside and the gate money, the winner to take all, The fight 1s to take place within 50 miles of Washington. But little is known of Bolger, although as a sparrer he has a reputation. Every one knows Kaedy, better known as the hard-hitting blackemith; and as the two men are about the same weight | the fight promises to be hotly contested. Two! well-known sporting men have the matter in charge, — The McManus- White Fight Of. The prize fight which was to have taken place tomorrow morning between McManus of Boston and White of this city has been de- clared off.

All of the exercises were well performed, showing a remarkable degree of careful training and assiduous practice, and the audience was kept in a condition of excite- ment and enthusiasm from the start to the finish. At the close of the performunce the two classes formed a ring around Prof. Jackson and Mr. Melville Hensey, on behalf of the members of the g jum, expressed their regret at the loss the institution would sustain through the retirement of their instructor, who has re- signed to devote his time to the study of medi- cine. Prof, Jackson was rather startled when Mr. Hensey drew a knife on him, or rather a whole box of kuives in the form of a full set of surgical in- struments and presented them with the com- iments of the young athletes standing around. fhree hearty clieers were given and the event was over.

Coup Waves Are predicted with reliable accuracy, and people liable to the painsand aches of rheumatism dread every change to damp or stormy weather. Although we do not claim Hood's Sarsaparills to be a positive specific for rheumatism, the remarkable cures it has-effected show that it may be taken for rheumatism with rea- sonable certainty of benefit. Its action in neutralizing the acidity of the blood, which is the cause of rheuma- tism, constitutes the secret of the success of Hood's Sarsaparills in curing thia complaint. If you suffer from rheumatism give Hood's Sarsspariliaa fair trial; we believe it will do you good. HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA Sold by all druggists, @1; six for $5. Prepared only by C.

The present combined population of Omaha snd South Omaha is probably Zot less than 140,000, and, considering that in older cities the nunuber of water takers average one tovvery seven of the population, the Omahs water works, in the course of a few years, should have 14,000 to 20,000 takers, even if there is no increase in the population. During the year 1890 the company expects to increase its uumber of water takers to 8,000, THE COMPANY IS NOW EARNING, ABOVE ALL FIXED CHARGES, MORE THAN SUFFICIENT To PAY THE PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS, AND AS THE INCOME MUST CONTINUE TO IN- CREASE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME, THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO MAINTAIN ‘THE DIVI- DEND CANNOT BE QUESTIONED.

OFFICE OF THE AMERICAN WATER WORKS CO., Omana, January 20, 1890, Referring to the proposed issue by this company of #1,000,000 of 6 per ceut preferred stock I ves to submit the following statement regarding the present status of the company, its past and prospective growth: For the year ending December 331, 1889, the gross earuings of the Omuha Water Works were 828,558.01 and expeuses $71,667.76, leavirg net earnings of €209,801.15. The interest upon the bonded debt was $170,000 and the net surpius 39,491.15, During the year 1889 the Company expended @1,139,3:36.23 in Suishing its new plant snd making other necessary improvements and extensions. Op account of this ovtiag the Company proposes to sell $1,000,000 of preferred stock, the dividends on which are cumuistiveand fixed at 6 per cent per annum, as authorized ats meeting of stock holders held August 20, 1859, GUBLEY & STEVENS, THE COMPANY DOES NOT OFFER ITS SECURITIES FOR SALE UNTIL AFTER THE MONEY REP- RESENTING THEM HAS BEEN EXPENDED. The bonded debt of the Company is 3,000,000, consisting of 82,000,000 6 per cent and €1,000,000 5 Per cent bonds. The total amount of preferred stock authorized is $1,000,000 and the comanon stock is $4,000,000. The law does not permit any further increase of the capital stock. ‘The following statement +h ows the aunual income since the works}were put in operation: EARNINGS, EARNINGS 228,342 SR (otualy peter tty Hd 28 281.653 91 IN 1889 THE EARNINGS WERE ABOUT SEVEN TIMES AS LARGE AS IX 1882. THE INCREASB OF EARNINGS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS BEEN @153,271.33, OR 119.38 PER CENT. At the present time the Company is earning at the rate of sbout $320,000 per annum, s sum more thas sufficient to pay expensel, interest aud preferred dividends, If the increase for the next six years averages only 25 per cent per annum (the average for the past seven years having been 31.51 percent per annum) the gross earnings will be as follows: saul te = Such a result, although the basis of computation is supported by the record for the past seven years, s:ems almost too large to anticipate, and yet, if the city grows during the next five years as it hes during the past five, the estimate given is within bounds, On the basis of $350,000 gross earnings for 1890 there will bea surplus above interest and expenses of $108,000, or considerably more tham the amount of preferred stock dividend, NUMBER OF WATER TAKERS, Jan. 1, 1887... —— 4.802 1iKy Jan. 1; 1888) 1,098 C198 1/336 Increase in three years, 3,623, or 140.7 per cent, or an average of 46.9 per cent per annum. If the ratio of increase in number of water takers for the next six years sverages only 25 per cunt per sunum, the result will be as follows: In support of this estimate it may be stated that the record shows that after water works in lange cities have ‘been in operation fifteen years or inore, the ratio of water takers to population is about 1 to 7. aenet: Reece: Total eecesseesessseneen 231,000, AVERAGE RATIO OF CONSUMERS TO POPULATION, 1 TO 6.9, ‘The present combined population of Omaha and South Omshs is not less than 140,000. It seems cortata’ therefore, that in the course of a few years this company will have 20,000 water takers, even though there te no increase in the population. The growth of Omaha, although comparatively rapid. has been of a solid character; cousequently the city, ‘has suffered no reaction, and the indications are that the increase will continue. It ts the commercial center fora large and rowing agricultural country of unsurpassed fertility and has excellent railroad fscilities Lm my opinioa Omaha will have 250,000 population within five years.
