The Present Condition in the Gate City, Business as Compared With Last Season and the Flattoring Pros- pects of the Future. A Big reporter, having noticed for some time past the apparently flourishing state of trade in this city look up tho Omaha, and in consequence made a tour of a number of the leading houses in the city Saturday and obtained some facts in regard to the retail and jobbing trade, for the past fow woeks, as compared with the same time last season, and concluded to commercial interests of also the opinions of severalof our leading business men as to the prospects of trade for the winter months, TPhe fancy goods trade was first visited and in these houses all hands were busy in packing and shipping goods out through the country for the holiday trade, which has opened earlier and heavier this sea- son than was ever before known in this state. The dealers are justly jubilant and one and all speak of the trade for the coming months, both wholesale and re- tail, in a most hopeful manner, and say that there never has been such an out- look as at present. The dry goods men are equally as well pleased with tho trade so far this fall, and say that they have sold one-fourth more goods this fall than last, but just at pres- ont there is a little slack on account of the fine weather. If cold weather puts in an appearance early in December they predict such a trade as they have never before enjoyed, In the clothing trade much depends upon the weather, and all that is required to make a booming trade in this lne is a good cold snap, although overy denlor in the city is enjoying a healthy and pros- perous trade. In the hardware business matters are very quict at present and_will_probably continue so until the middle of February, but the past two months have been ex- cellent ones for the hardware trade and were considerably better than. the same months of a ye ¥ The dealers in millinery goods have not, as a rule, enjoyed as good a trade as they did one yoar ago, although this winter business opened early and a good many goods were disposed of in a short time, but since the first rush trade has been very quict and the dealers are not anticipating any heavy trade during th winter, but predict a very heavy busi ness in the spring. The grocery business moves along just about the same, increasing with the in- crease of population and is growing steadily. DMoicy matters are moro cgsy in this city than in most any other city of its size in the country, thero being fewer failures among business men and every thing looks exceedingly bright for this city and state. There is, it is estimated, 200,000,000 bushels of corn in Nebraska from this year's crop alone, and all small aing are in proportio Small towns are springing up in every locality, and people from every other state are fast crowding within our borders, eastern cap- italists are daily investing money in this city and state and the prospects for the trade of 1883-4 is most bright for all deal- ers in all classes of trade. * KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. A Pleasant Aumversary. 0. The Fifteenth Anniversary of Nebras- ka Lodge, No. 1, Celebrated at Central Hall Friday Evening. Nebraska Lodge, No. 1, held a very pleasant birthday party at Central hall Friday evening, it beingthe fifteenthanni- versary of that lodge in this city, the lodgs having been organized Nov. 23, 1868, There were about seventy-five couples present, mostly Siv Knights and their lady friends. These parties are held each year and are of private char- ter, hence very enjoy: ble. The programme of the evening com- menced with the anniversary address by Past Grand Chancellor and Supreme Rep- resentative J. J. Monell, who, in the course of his remarks, gave some inter- esting statistics concerning the organiza- tion and the growth of the lodge Following this address a very enter- taining programme was carried out, Mra. Haywurd and Miss Poflit gave an ex- tremely charming instrumental duet which was followed by a vocal solo from Mrs, Hayward, which was well received. Muss Poffit then regaled the guests with a pleasing pianoforte solo, and Mrs. Crager and Mrs Hayward entertained the audi- ence with an excellent vocal duet. A very melodious duet by Mr, and Mrs, Hayward terminated this portion of tho programme, After the programme was finished the room was cleared and the merry dancers went to work with a right good will. After having tripped the light frotastic sufliciently to work up a good appetite, the party sat down to & splendid repast which had heen prepared and which was disposed of in short order. After supper a number of speeches were made by different members of the order, after which there was more dancing and merry-making, and the com- pany adjourned ata seasonablo hour, —— Trunk Stole A man stopping at & lodging house on Capitol avenue, near Thirteenth streot, had his trunk mysteriously stolen from his room Sunday afterncon. He came in about 8 o'clock in the evening and found the trunk gone. It contained $114 in money, thirty-five or forty books, citizenship and homestead papers. The total logs is estimated at $200. 1t is not often that a trunk is taken in this way, Up to a late hour last night, no clue to the thief had | This a Leg.

Af the present rate of finding parts, an entire body may soun be picked up. There is an opportunity now for some good detective work.

Fred Ruhe, organizer of the branch, ofticiated. This christening is not a geligious form, but indicates that the parents are willing the children shall be re order. After the christening coremonies were over, Mr, Ruhe delivered an address, There was also some vocal and instru mental music. The affair was attended by resident members of the socialist order and their families. 1t concluded with a dance at the hall in the evening, —_— Military Orders, Thursday, the 20th inst., having been designated by the president as a National Thanksgiving, will be duly observed in this department. R A DEADLY ENCOUNTER, A Lawyer Shoots an Editor, Who then Fatally Pounds Him Piitvavknruia, November 23, A spo- cial to the The 'Times, from Lirighton, J, says that John Chesseman, editor and proprietor of The Patriot, & demo- cratic weokly of Camberland county, was shot to-day by J. L. Van Syckle, a prom- inent democratic politician, After being shot Chesseman grabbed Van Syckle by the throat, bore him to the floor, and beat his face to pulp. Chesseman is not seriously injurcx‘l, Bt Van Syckle will die in a few hours. Cheeseman has been a newapaper pub- lisher in Bridgoton for twelve years, and his editorials have invariably been ag gressive. He is 45 yoars old, and lives with his wife and two grown sons in a comfortable house in the center of the town. He is six feot tall. Van Syckle is a lawyer, has a wife and two children, and is small in stature. The men have been leading rival political factions. In to-day’s issue The Patriot charged Van Syckle with getting his checks cashed without having funds inthe bank to meet them, and said he had been “mod- erately successful in getting his worth- less checks cashed.”, Van Syckle arm- ing himself with a “revolver and a co: hide, went to The Patriot oflice, halted in the editorial room, second story front, and roared at Cheeseman in the ad- joining apartment. When Choose- man came out of the back room Van Syckle arose from the cover of the and drawing his cowhide, shook it et his swarthy onemy. Cheeseman only laugh- ed. Then the little man’s rage knew no bounds. Throwing down the cowhide he drew a revolver and aimed and fired at Cheeseman, who was but a few feet distant. The editor threw up his left arm and the bullet passed through his coat-sleove and struck his breast two inches above the heart. Cheeseman staggered, but recovered his presence of mind in an instant and closed with Van Syckle. In a hand-to-hand struggle the lawyer was at a great disadvantage. Appreciating this and fearing that Cheeseman would wrest the revol- ver from him and turn its point upon its owner, he threw the weapon across the room. Cheeseman hurled his opponent to the floor, knelt upon the fallen man’s arms, and then throttling him with his left hand, pounded him in the face with his right fist. The pistol shot and Van Syckle's cries for help brought Cheeseman's sons and the print- ers down-stairs and drew a great crowd of people from the street. Cheeseman was crazed with rage, and it was with diffieulty that he was dragged from his almost insensible antagonist. To-night Cheeseman said: ‘I thought I was fatally wounded, and was resolved to kill him if .ay strength lasted.” Several po- nen entered and Van Syckle was helped to the washroom. His nose and checks were pounded to & jelly and the skin and flesh of his fore- heac hung in shreds over his eycs. Cheeseman_explained this by sayin “Mst all of the licks I hit him were glancers,” Cleeseman wentat once to the mayor’s oftics and had a warrant issued for the arrest of Van Syckle for shooting with intint to kill. * Fifteen minutes later Var Syckl: was led into the mayor's offite ‘by Oflicer Campbell. Turning to Cheeseman ho said: *“Thank God, 1 did2’t kill you.” Cheeseman replied Well, Tam sorry I didn’t kill you, and 1 would have done so if I had not been pulied off by the boys.” Daring the cx- ammation Van Syckle becamo weak from loss of blood, and he had to be taken to the jail, where to-night he lies at the pont of death. e Buicide in a Cemetery, Pirrspure, November 24 Charles Trim shot himself twice in the head this aftrnoon in the cemetery, during the sewices at the grave of his intended.
