Northern Nebraska papers are dis- cussing the question of Omaha’s rela- tion to the section of country now tributary to Sioux City. They are unanimous in the opinion that, all other things being equal, that section of country would prefer to deal with the commercial center of their own state rether than with a city in an- other state. To compete with Sioux City, however, Omaha merchants mnst be prepared to lay down goods as cheaply in Northern Nebraska as the merchants of Bioux City. ‘The western part of the Repubh- can Valley is beginning to feel the en- livening effects of the railroad exten- sion of the B, & M.

The Patrick Reception at Heppy Hollow, Notes from Club Room and Parlor Polite Porsonalities. The most brilliant social event of thes season, if notin the history of our city, was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. J. N, H. Patrick, on Thurs- day evening, to Col. M. H. Patrick and his bride upon their return from fre East. Fully five hundred invita- tions had been 1ssued, and in anticipa- tion of full dress, Omaha’s belles had for weeks past been making claborate preparations to do justice to them- selves and honor to the occasion. THE EVE was all that could have been desired. The rains of the previous day had laid the dust and a day of warm sunshine had dried the roads leading to Happy Hollow, making the three-mile drive from the sity as pleasant as possible. From 8 o'clock until 10 a long processicn of carriages filled St. Mary's avenue and the West Omaha road, and lined the crest of the hills, amid which the beautiful home of the Patricks lies nestled. A LOVELY MOONLIGHT made the drive doubly pleasant. From the pomnt where the road turned north- ward from the Catholic cemetery, brilliantly colored Chinese lanterns pointed the way to the scene of the evening's festivities. As the guests approached Happy Hollow a beautiful and dazzling sight present- ed itself. The groundssurrounding the residence were glowing with a thousand gaily colored lights, The roads leading to the gateway were hung with hundreds of lanterns suspended from the trees, making the surroundings as bright as noon- day and revealing the elaborate ar- rangements which had been made for the preparation of the guests of the evening. From the rear of the resi- dence a long™ PORTE COCHERE, sixty feet in. length, with cov- ered sides, oxtended . from the door to the carriage drive. Alighting and passing through into the spacious hall of the mansion to the second story, the guests were at once shown to the reception rooms, where wraps were removed and the last finishing touches placed on toilets In the parlors Mr., and Mrs. J. H. N. Pat- rick, assisted by their son, Robert W. Patrick, received the rapidly increas- ing arrivals, who were one by one introduced to Col. Patrick and his kride. From 9 o'clock until after 11 a brilliant company passed in and out the parlors to tender their congratu- tions. Tt * seemed as i all of Omaha's best society had postponed every other engage- ment to do honor to the occasion. The handsome rooms were elegantly decorated with flowers and vines, in the arrangement of which rare taste; was displayed. ON THE PIAZZAS the scene was even, perhaps, more brilliant. Extending around the en- tire residence and connecting with the cottage on the east a broad piazza, fourteen feet wide and nearly two hundred feet in length, afforded a promenade unusually adapted for a large company. It was hung with colored lanterns along its entire length and covered with crash for the better accommodation of the dancers. Here the Ninth Infantry band were sfationed and furnished the choicest pieces of music from their repertoire to which thirty sets of dancers kept merry time, uring the evening 1in the intermissions between the music, a number of brilliant displays of fireworks took place on the lawn, fronting the residence. Dancing be- gan at nine o'clock and the programme was not concluded until midnight. From ten until twelve the supper room was a point of attraction to many where an elegant repast was served to the guests of the evening. Shortly after 12 o'clock the music called the dancers to THE GERMAN, The favors for the German were un- usually costly and elegant, having been purchased in New York express- ly for the occasion. Two sets of dancers participated, as follows: Robert Patrick and Miss Wakely, Will Morris and Miss Burley, Arthur \\'nku!{ and Miss Steel, Richard Ber- lin an itz- Miss Chapman, Warren Swi ler and Miss Rustin, Richard Carrier and Miss Lehmer, George Savage and Miss Knight, M.
