With only 1ta there sh o & crowded Tho play of “Love aud Liw" was pre sonted succoesfully at the opera house Jast evening by Milton Nobles, Mr. Nobles has won high rank already, and in & general favorite, but In this new plag, of his own authorship, he has cer- talnly won new laurels. It is an excel lent play, full of thrilling situations, and Mr. Nobles with his excellent support presented it in a manner which called forth great enthusiasm and much praise from the audience. A special feature of Interest in connection with its presenta- tion here, was the fact that Mr, Nobles generously gave it as a benefit to hls old friend, Rev. T. J. Mackey, the rector of St. Paul's church. Thero is a lively domand for revolvers, and many citizons are now going armed. 80 that elther thleves or thugs will have to jump the town or some of them will bo lald low by an attempt to rob the money man, If one or two of these sneaks were crippled by bullets it would put a atop to thelr plundering. It scems that about the only way to stop the present deviltry is for the citizens to go armed and pro- tect themselves as best they can. The police force is not large, there is a good deal of territory to cover, and when sus- picious characters or crooks are arrested they manage to get out of it easily. Every able-bodled citizen might as well, therefore, constitute himself a special policeman to serve at his own expense. A Vail correspondent of the Bulletin thus describes the situation there: At the meeting of the clty council on Mon- day night there waa considerable discus- sion on the subject of saloon license. The town used to get twelve hundred dollars & yoar from the saloons and the question is how to get it again. It doesn't take a very acnte vision to see that prohibition don’t prohibit anything but the license money. It will be very difficult here to The Burlington Hawkeye says of the Potter Sisters that “Burlington has not been given such a treat u & long time.” Christmas] cards given away—On all cash purchases of fifty cents and upwards at Seamen’s closing out sale, 405 Broad way. A npew collection agency has just started at 525 Broadway, room G. The style of the firm name {s P. M. Clay- worth & Co. Somie of the city officlals yesterday af- ternoon started out on another inspec- tton trip of the proposéd opening of In- dian creek to the river. The Silver King company came in yes- terday from Des Moines over the Rock Island and took the K. C. for Plattsmouth thelr scenery etc. belng in a special car. Permits to wed were yesterday given to J. Oakley Campbell and Olive B French, of this city, and W. D. Haworth and Cora E. McGarvey, of Harrison county. ‘W. W. Chapman has just completed an elegant easel, seven foet six inches in height by three feet in width, on which the crayon portrait of Charles Koith, by Stewart, will hereator rost. H. R. Stewart is at work on a crayon portrait of the late Mr, Cooper father of M. Cooper of Cooper & MoGee. It Is heing copied from an old fashipned ambro type, taken more than twenty years ago. Wo still have a large stock of beoks, staple and fancy statlonery, notlons, and holiday goods that must and will be sold at once at prices that will pay you to in- vestigate, H. E. Seaman, 406 Broad- way. One vagrant, who was ordered to leave town two weeks ago, but who has been hovering about, has been arrested on sus- picion of belng one of the two who robbed McCabe. Tur Bee's suggestions for the organi- zation of & merchants’ police are meeting with much favor. Such a force is surely needed for the protection of property, and the expense will be light. arrange any plan of liconsing “drinks not prohibited by state law” without closing up the restaurants which sell pop and clder, or compelling them to sell liquors to make money enough to pay thelr li- cense. The bouncil took no action except to authorize the city attorney to draw up an ordinauce to be reported ata future meeting. oA MoClurg's self-rising buckwheat flour alwaya ready foruse. Tey It. Dr. C. C. Hazon, Dentist, 100 Maln s, A BOTHERSOME QUESTION, H, K. 8caman is Answering It Though to the Satistaction of All, “What shall I buy for Christmas " {s the question that is now aggitating the minds of many. One of the best ways to solve the above problem i# to drop in to Seaman’s and consult him, for he is vlosing out all his stock at fabulonsly low prices, Instead of prices belng up, be- cause of the holiday season, they are way down with him, preparatory to a change in business. He has received all hls now goods for the holidays, and has so largo a variety of goods from which to select that one ~ meeds to inspect the stock itself, An enumeration of some of tho many articles may, how- over, prove helpful as suggestlons. He has a fino line of gold pens in ebony, fvory, pearl and rubber holder, watch charms in numerous different sl 8, la- dies’ work boxes, both in plush and leather, odor cases in new and novel de- 0 line of writing desks in wal- nut, hor, plush, alligator and rose- wood, gents’ cigar casos, a gitt any gon tloman who smokes would appreciate, photograph albums in olivewood, plush and leather, all of the latest tterns, ladles wallets and purses in various de- signs In fine leathor, card cases, hand glasses in cellulold, rosewood, maple and rubber, gents' pocketbooks, billbooks, letterbooks, etc., games, such as dom- inoes, chess, oard games, sliced piotures, and a fine line of colored pioture books. New goods in Christmas oards never before seen In this market and all of the latest importation, fine gift books bound in Morrocco, alligator, treecalf and other fine bindings ne line 1t is understood that numerous changes will take place at she freight transfer In this city on January lst and it Is sald that the sgent, Wm, H. Burns, will be compelled to largely reduce the clerical force. The marshal now issues orders to keep the strects and guttors free from all lit- ter, papers, ashes, etc, and threatens to prosecute all who il to comply., The fine may be as high as £10, This warn. ing shall therefore be heeded. Mr, Oharles Keith, the general agent for the C. B. & (). railway in this city, will entertaln a number of his friends and railway employees to-morrow evi ing at his residence on Gr venue, The test to which Scott street bridge was subjected was a pretiy severe one. There were twelve loaded wagons and teams, averaging (,000 pounds; and mak- fng in all 72,000 pounds, and Hhirty.five men averaglng 150 pounds each, bridge stood the weight as If it had only been & feather, The Gireat Republic to be presented here Fridsy snd Saturday evenings, promises to draw large orowds. The en- listing of so many of the school children and local talent, has awakened grewt In. terest and great gxpectations. Seats should be reserved ea,ly. A changoe hias been made in the police force which is intended to make it more efficlent. J, J, Hathaway has been ap- pointed by the mayor as captain, to take charge of those on night 'daty, He isa well-known citlzen and if he keeps on the move and sttends closely to business it will prove & help probably, The Potter sisters are to appear in the Masontc hall this eveniog, the entertain- ‘ment to be under the auspices and fcr Yarmony Mission, The Potter sisters \very fine impersonstore, and their re- of illustrated gift books, such as Dante's Inferno and Purgator; ¥ y {llustrated by Dore, p hymns) los’ arm a large line of miscellaneous books in sets and sfhgle volumes, and hny one to see the books on Seaman’s shelves for 50 cents would surely say his prices beat *‘better than half price.” He also has a fine piano on sale which would be an elegant Uhrlstmas present.

W@ THE COURT HOUSE. fbe Conutv Board Leases the M fall for Two Years, Some Perplexity Ahont What Can be Done the Priso rs, Tho county board of supervisors after consldering the various bids of those desiring to rent buildings for court and county purposes, decided yesterday to accept that in regard to the masonic temple, By this arrangement ;the room known aa the Masonic hall is to be used for a court room, while one room off from the hall is to be used for one of the jury rooms, and & room on the third floor for the other one, The large room on the ground floor now occupled by Cas- ady Orcutt & French, 1s to be used for offices, that firm intending to make a change in a month or 80, This large room is to be divided by partitions into four robms —one for the auditor and county board, another for the treasurer, another for clerk, and anether for recorder, A hall- way will run through the center of the room. These offices and the court room are to bo heated by steam, and the coun- ty agrees to pay for all, heat included, §3,000 & yoar for two years, 1t will be necessary to secure some vault room somewhere for the records, but this is nc yot arranged. 1t will also be necessary to get the board of health to give more time on it order to vacate the court house by the 20th inst., as the county cannot ot possession of the rooms by that time. The leasing of Masonic hall to the county for court purposes does not prevent evening ontertainments heing given there, as the right is reserved for these, the court not to be held these evenings when it would interfere with entertalnments, Even after the offices are moved, which will probably be in January, there will be difficulty in previding for the pris- ers. The grand jury examined the 1- again yesterday. Previous grand juries have condemned 1, so it Is only a matter of form, but the Inspection was made by direction of the judge, who sagely arked that if the court house was unsafe for officlal it was unsafe for prisoners. The county board will wait_ however, untll its Janusry meeting be fore making arrangements to dispose of the prisoners, It will be 'a great expense to move them, and 180 to board them elsewhere, and there seems to be no place near here where they can be kept. In regard to calling an election for the people to vote on the question of lssuing bonds for building a new court house and jall, the board will take no action until the January meeting. The remonstrances of 156 citizens were yestorday received and placed on file, but it is thought that by the January meeting there will be a fuller and freer expression of the people concerning an olection. The board has taken a practi- cal means of ascertaining how fast the oracks in the wall are widening. Strips of paper have peen pasted across some of the cracke, as the cracks spread these strips will break and show the gap. Some brilliant oltizens, seeing the strips thus pasted, aftor studying over the matter, and try- ing to see what the papers were pasted on for, camo to tho conclusion that the board was trylng to keep the walls from falling apart, and commsnted rather un- complimentarily on such foolishness. To ease their minds of such, the true expla- nation Is given. UPSET SALE AT MET A RAILROAD SKIRMISH. LI BROS, It Will Probably Be Settled Before ‘War Breaks Out. The Wabash railway company is now planning for a speedier ontrance into the Union depot, and is laylng a track which will make a shorter cut and easier transit for trains than that now used. At one point near the Rock Tsland round house the proposed now track crosses the old K. C. track, which is controlled by the C.,B. & Q. Tho, last named company does not propose to allow the Wabash cross the track, and for fear the Wabash will steal a ‘march has an engloe and men nolding the groundjday and night. Probably some compromise arrangement will be effected without any serious trouble resulting. e —— UPSET SALE AT METCALF BROS, o — Ask your grocer for McClurg's self- ralsing buckwheat.
