Knight, chief operator at the Western Union telegraph of- fice,went over toHarney st. Wednes- st-night 10 enjoy the fun of coast- ing. While sliding down the hill, he went over a jumper, which bounced him and the sled a distance of thirty feet in the air before he landed. When he struck terra firma he fell hard. He lit on his head, and slid off on- his eyebrow, blacking his left peeper, scratchipg his nose, and raising séveral bumps on the top of his head. The trav- ers sled, as well as Mr. Knight, was considerably demoralized, the hind runners being badly smashed. Mr. Knight now -wears his head ina sling, and has the use of only one eye. However, hisinterest in coast- ing has not been diminished, as he says he will go one eye on it, and if he hias his remaining optic closed to-night by another accident, he will then go it “blind.” And that’s what's the matter with Frank B.

That Reception w0 King Da n“ Last Evening. : A Woman Kisses the King—Other Scenes and Incidents. Dave’s Compliment to the “Bee.” There was & red-hot jam at the | Grand Central Thursddy evening, the aftraction being King Kala- kaua's reception. Between six and seven o'clock the spacious office and halls of the hotel on the first floor were crowded by a vast throng of gentlemen, while the parlors and | corridors of the second floor Were filled with ladies and gentlemen, all waiting to see the Ring escorted by the Kuights Templar to their Asylum. The Knights Templar, at about eight o'clock, marched into the hotel, in their handsome regalia, and headed by a band of music. The King came down the stairway, and was escorted to the rooms of the Knights Templar, whers he, for the first time, witnessed the con- ferring of the degree of Knight- hood. The King returned to the hotel at half past nine o'clock, and entered the house by the ladies’ entrance. | The crowd in the oftice thereupon | rushed up stairs, climbing over each | other and jumping over the railings, | 50 great was their eagerness to geze | upon the dusky Sandwicher. The King took his stand in the east parlor, and the crowd then | formed in line, shaking the royal | paw as they passed by. The erowd—those who had rushed up stairs—was a decidedly mixed one, being composed of the high and the low, the rich and the poor, black and white, the “heathen Chinee,” the shabby genteel, gentlemen and loafers, and in fact every class of society was represented there, and many amusing incidents occurred. One tall fellow, with his pantaloons in his dirty boots, his hat slouched upon his head, stood in the door- way, blocking the passage, and di- viding his time between gazing upon the King and squirting tobac- co juice upon the carpet and upon the ladies’ dresses, One gentleman asked him why he didn’t go either forward or backward, and clear the way. He replied that “he had as much right asanybody to look at the King of the Highway Islands, the blarsted nagur that he was.” Tiwo or three colored Women as- sisted lum to block the doorway. There they stood immovable, until at last, after being persistently urged to go forward, and shake hands with the King, they were compelled to beat a retreat. GSooner’” was in his glory, having been dressed up for the occasion, - | and he promenaded the halls with as much ease and dignity as ever graced a king. While the handshaking was in progress some woman—as the King bent slightly forward to shake her hand—planted a kiss on the royal lips. It was a surprise to King Dave, whose cheeks, dark though they were, could mnot gongesl the crimson blush that o’erspread them. He immediately reached into his coat-tail pocket, and taking there- from a red silk handkerchief, wiped the kiss from his lips. The woman pever flinched, however, but ran the gauntlet of the united gaze of all who beheld her with an un- moved countenance, pxclaiming as she passed out, “Didn’t I tell you I'd do it.” This remark led the bystanders to conclude that she had kissed the Kingon a wager. It is said she is a sister to the fe.low who wanted to see the “Kingof the Highway Islands.” She wasa bold brave woman, and we regret that we were unable to ascertain her pame. Had we learned it, we should of course have done her the justice of publishing it, and if she feels slighted at all she can send ber name to the BEE, and it will appear in the next issue. She will thus sat- isfy the curiosity of the public, who are anxious to learn who she is. ‘While the crowd were slowly pressing in, some wags Induced a good looking colored man to permit himself to be introduced as tne King, and several persons were thus “sold,” and went home as happy and as satisfied as if they had met the King himself. After the handshaking had been coneluded,the capacious dining hall was cleared for dancing, the mausie being furnished by the City Band. “The King tripped the hght fantastic toe very nicely, and proved that big feet are not necessarily an jmpedi- ment to dancing, The Kingreallyenjoyed the dance, especially as be was thus relieved from the pressure of the thror 7 that had erowded the halls and j :rlors, and he took advantage of iti - more thoroughly cultivate the ac uain- tance of the ladies and gen iemen oceupying the ball room fi- r, and who represented Omaha’s L. st so- ciety.

A representative of the BEE, in behalf the City of Omab:., presen- ted his Majesty with a coupie ot coples of the BEE's New Year's Il- lustrated dupplement.

It was an honor to the city and the State, and when he return- ed to his Island home, he would have one of the supplements framed and hung in the palace, asa souvenir of his visit and reception at Omaba, where he had received a more cordial entertainment than in -any other American eity.

Wherever they have appeared they have met with wonderful success, and the press is layish in its praise of them. The St. Paul Pionecr con- tains the following : “It is with the most unqualified satisfaction that the statement is made that Mr. J. H. Stoddart was last night favored with a large au- dience, one somewhat commensu- rate with his merits. The auditors were most enthusiastic in_their re- ception of the gifted comedian, and displayed by their frequent and hearty applause their appreciation of his unrivalled talents. 1t must be acknowledged that there wasa sort of grim satisfaction in the dis- appointment which many expressed at not having attended all of his performances in the city. They have just found out how good he is, and now he is gone. So much for not believing the newspapers. If Stoddart eyer returns, the Opera House will not hold his audience.” A Happy Event, Mr. Jobn MeArdle, of the Omaha Bridge Transfer, was martied Thurs- daynighttoMiss Emma M.Johnson, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. 8.

How a Young Girl was “Led As- tray” by an Omaha For- tune Teller. A few days ago a young gul of this city named Frankie Lott, aged seventeen years, mysteriously disap- peared from her home. Her moth- er, almost distracted over the affuir, instituted a search for her, first in this city and then in Council Bluffs. Mrs. Lott, owing to certain facts of which she had lately become pos- sessed, feared that her daughter had either eloped with a young man who had been keeping her company for some time past, or else that she had “gone to the bad.” She was found on Wednesday at Council Bluffs by Marshal Tyson, after a most thor- Her story, as told by herself to a Nonpareil re- porter, is as follows : My name is Frankie Lott, and my home for the past three years has been in Omaha. Prior to that time 1 lived at Council Bluffs with my parents, who kept a restaurant on Middle Broadway, near the site of the old postoffice; T will be seven- teen years of age on the 9th day of mext” April; was first mnduced to leave my home by a fortune teller named Mrs. Swartz, who lives on Eleventh street in Omaha, between Dodge and Douglas streets ; 1 went to have my fortune told, and she prevailed on me to remain with her instead of returning to my mother; afterwards I learned that she com- biged the business of a procuress for houses of ill fame with that of reading the future, and that she had inveigled me into her net for the purpose of ruining me; I am confi- dent thatshe has been instrumental in enticing many others besides my- self from the path of rec- titude. ~ When I learned the true character of the place [ was ashamed to return home, and therefore remained with her until my mother came for me, which she did at the expiration of a week. I gladly consented to return home with her it she would forgive me and forget the past. After going home I was very contented until the neighbors commenced to “‘cast up” to me that Thad been in a house of ill-fame ; I bore their taunts and sneers as long as I could, and thea resolved on flight. Where to go I did not know—I thought only of escaping the reproaches daily cast upon me. For eighteen months I had been keeping company with a young man named Guy Maxwell, and on last Saturday eyening I ar- ranged with him to go to Florence, At the last hour, however, I refused to accompany him, and went to a saloon kept by a man named Harry Magee. My fellow” followed me, and while thereItold him I haade- cided toenter a house of bad re- pute, and had chosen one kept by Belle Clover, to_which I intended to go at once. He strongly objected to my doing so, but I had made up my mind, and accordingly went, Guy accompanying me. When 1 got there I told the girls—Julia Mo- ran and Frank Starr—that Iguessed I would go home again, but they offered to run away with' me, and T consented to stay ; that was on last Saturday ; next day we attempted to get off, but one ‘of the girls had some clothing with her that did not belong to her, and we were com- pelled to return ; nobody came after me on that day, and I stayed at Miss Clover's with Maxwell until he lefi for Salt Lake early Monday morning. Shortly after breakfast 3 policeman callell and saw me there, but promised to say nothing about it to anyone. After he left, three | more policemen came and searched the house; they did not find me though, as I was in a dark hole un- der the house, Into which I got when I heard them coming; during the same day (Monday) the house wassearched three different times, byt I managed to conceal myself so “suceessfully that they did not find me.

That night (Tuesday) T slept on the floor down stairs, but went up into the garret agam next morning before dnfibrenk; I nearly froze while there, but I was deler- mined to die rather than go back to Omaha.

LINCOLN, Jan. 22. EDITOR OMAHA BEE : FROM THE PIT. T was one of the many lookers on from the gallery of the representa- tive hall yesterday while the joint convention were voting for a U. 8. Senator. It was indeed a warm contest, and I doubt much whether political excitement ever ran high- eratthe capital. The front seats were occupied by the ladies, who, by the way, are beginning to lobby 1n their own peculiar way for their favorite candidate, Even an elope- ment, touching as it does, “some of the best families,” and affording an excellent opportunity for gossip, is entirely neglected that they may take part in solving the great prob- lem, We expect, however, that some of the married men will have to talk a little about the question after they get home from the Tiche- nor, just enough to give a rough guess at-which way they have gone, and what made them go. If the Indies had their “say-so” about this election, Thayer would be chosen on tne first ballot. The Senate appeared at the door of the House at precisely twelve o'clock, and occupied seats prepared for them in the main aisle. They are a fine appearing body of men. Mr. Spaun, of Douglas county, is the MATT CARPENTER of the Senate, and the best looking man in the legislature. Griggs puts on the most style, with the least capital. It occurred to me that had 1 been Speaker of the House, and the President of the Senate had stenped behind my desk and seized the _mallet with all the gusto and importance so characteristio of him, I should have remonstrated.¥In fact, just after he had motioned me back, brought the gavel down two or three times, and was gazing around the gallery to make sure that all were looking at him and realized his power, I should have FANNED HIM WITH MY BOOT onge or twice, in the way of re- minders. The roll was called and the dense mass of people crowded into the gallery, on the floor and in the lob- by, became quiet, almost breathless, while each member spoke distinetly the name of their choice for Sena- tor. The result was announced: Thayer, 21; Dundy, 19, This was heartily received by Lincolnites, for General Thayer is iked best, where they know him well. With one bal- Iot the joint assembly dissolved. The House immediately adjourned to meet at ten o’clock to-morrow. THE SMOKE HQUSE. In tle evening I went to the “Smoke House’—a new name for the Tichenor. The appropriateness of the name will suggest itself at once to the stranger, more especially the stranger who does not smoks. Last night the crowd was great as ever, and with difficulty I elbowed my way through the dense mass of people to the billiard room. Here the smoke is so thick that it can be easily cut with a knife. After stay- ing in thatroom an_hour one's eyes look as though he had been drunk for a week. There are many classes of men at the smoke house. First, the skilled lobbyists and shrewd office-seeker. Second, members of the legislature. Third, second-class lobbyists, and fourth, the lookers-on. There is an immense number of men here who have no business, and_yet how im- portant. They seat themselves in one corner and whisper and gesticu- late in a mysterious manner, that would lead one to infer only how great they are and to suppose that beyond all doubt a Senator would be'made or wretched at their bid- «ing. The genuine field for lobbyists, however, 15 in the second and third story of the building. A promenade through the halls at half-past 10 showed thera in full blast. We walked to the window near the Dundy headquartersand the Dundy men were swarming out and in like bees. Little did I dream what schemes were in process at that time within the Dundy ring. Every corner in the ygrious halls was oo~ cupied by groups of two or more, talking very low, but every look showing them to be In dead ear- nest. The most striking scene I saw wasin front of “Strick’s" room. [t is back in the corner where the light does not strike it much. Whea I turned the corner of the ball “Strick” had some victim in front of him, and was giving him his views on the senatorial question with great vim. Theheroof a hun- dred hard fought fields presented a wild, romantic appearance, leaning on his erutohes, and using both hands to assist bim in énforcing what he said. Altogether Strick’s face resembled a jack-lantern there in the dark, He was relating a story that caused his own ‘‘eyes to start from their spheres, his knotted and combined locks to part, and each particular hair to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcu- pine.”” ALMOST A FIGHT, Hanscomb and Joe Paddock, a relative of the candidates, came near staining the carpets of the House with Democratic and Repub- lican blood. The Democrats, or some of them at least, had agreed to vote for Thayer, and I think some of the Paddock men. In dis- cussing this question Paddock and Hanscomb bécame somewhat esci- ted, and Paddock was disposed to withdraw. . High words followed, and oue called the other a “LIAR, SIR!! Just as they were alout to em- brace for the struggle, friends—how fortunate to have friends at suchg time—parted them.
