Two Jakos, the barbers, 402 Broadway The couaty board has adjourned untll the 10th, J. Dickey has put the electrlo light in his new atore. Two mere boys were yesterday run in by the pollee as vagranta. J. K. Emmet appeara at the opera house to-night In **Our Fritz,” The trlal of Oapt. Hayes on a charge of vagrancy was Saturday connued for one week. Mis, H. M. Stevens has retarned from Ohlosgo, where she has been spend- Ing a few weeks. The saloons were kept pretty well closed yesterday, and yet there were some drinks sold on the sly. Dr. Woodbury's tenant houses at the corner of Eighth strest and Fourth avenue are being greatly improved. J. M. Matthews, county superintend- eat of schools, Is urging the planting ol trees and follage in school-ho use yards. The board of trade will meet to-mor- row evening for the purpose of electing officers and transacting other important business, The basement of the Congregational church is being subjected to some changes and Improvements necossitated by the ralsing of the adjacent streets. The county board of sppervisors have notified St. Paul’s church folks to move thelr building by June 1, so that work on the new court house may commence. An Incipient Sunday row on Broadway, near the Metropolitan, yesterday after- noon, was stopped by the police, spoiling what promised to be an item of magni- tude. Phil Asrone, the window dresser, at Eiseman, Rodda & Co.’s store gives the public his idea of “‘the gates ajar,” which ho very tastefally displays In one of this frm’s windows, Some of the boys at the Phwnix saloon gave a sly dig at prohibition Saturday, by hanging signs in the show windows saying, ‘This store to renmt; have gone to Omaha.” The city needs to provide some mode of street cleaning, so that the paved streets may not be so covered with mud as to render 1t doubtful to strangers whether they are paved or not. The clty councll holds an Important meeting to-night. new chiof of the fire department will be elected as well ss other city officers chosen.” The petitlon for cloaing the sa- loons may come up also, An effort Is now being made to con- vince Sheriff Guittar that it is his duty to enforce the state prohibitory law throughout the county. The sherlff doesn’t see it that way, but says that when papers are placed in his hands to serve, he wlll see that they are served. Nicholas Kern, an old man who has been In the poor house here, and whose story about belng robbed of his property and deserted by his wife has been given in the Bzk, Is now in Omaha, where he has been vainly hunting tor his wayward wife. Steps are belng taken to remove him to the poor house there, he baving 10 money or friends. Mrs. Augusta Slegismund, of Hardin township, came to this city about a week ago to consult a physiclan, was taken suddenly worse, and was unable to re- turn home, and remalned at the residence of Mr. Conrad Gelse until her death, which occurred Friday last. 'I'he funeral was held yesterdsy afternoon, She was 64 years of age, and leaves a husband, one 8>n, and two daughters. Mr. St. John, of the Revere houee, stated befora the council license commit. tee that three dranken pollcemen were in his hotel office & while ago dlscassing the grave question as to where they conld get the largest glass of beer and the big- gest free lunch for the smallest nickle. Saturday the police were called together and Mr. 8t. John invited to pick out the ofiending trio, but he was unable to do so. Col. Keatley, as county attorney, will next Friday afteencon investigate the smallpox bills, which have been referred to him by the county board, As he invites all claimants to meet him at that time at the county building, an Inter. change of experlences s expected, and it is barely possible that some light may be thrown upon the question of who was to blame for the neglect that characterized eome of the treatmet of the smallpox cases. The fire department made a test of its hose Saturday. A line was run from Of- ficer & Pusey’s corner to Hoffmayer's mill, a distance of 1,450 feet, and a stream thrown o the helght of eighty- foet. Seversl lengths of hose were barst in the trial, The test showed up well or the waterworks company, but not so well for the hose. The city should get belier hose or poorer water works. Porhaps a trade could ba got up with Omaha, Obaslie Nicholson s as great s joker as there Is in the fire department, Bruce Howe ls as neat and particular as any man in the department, The other night Charles r'gged up & dummy figure, with boots on, and put it in Bruce's bed, ex- platning to him that it wass fireman from Ozahs, who bad got a little foll Itis expected thata|P snd bad laid down to sleep. Bruce, rather than be so inhospitable s to turn the sleeping visitor out, and not des!ring to sleep with such a character, hired a bed at one of the hotels and occupled that, Store shades Brothers. - Artlsts’ Materisls at G, R.

Send for price list. pecialty at Harkness | — Poor Printing, The managers of the Bernhard-Liste- mann concert, after requesting the pub- lisher of the opera house programme to furnlsh programmeos for the evenin tortalnment, a request with which he compiled, secured some dizzy, brindle- colored posters from an amateur job of- fice, thereby dolng an Injastice tbe per- formers, the audience, the programme publisher and his advertising patrons,— Nonparell, The local who does some scratching and clipplng for the dear old grand- mother's scrap-book attempta to piece out his meagre salary by what parports to be “‘the opera house programme.” In the case of the concert, Saturday evening, this alleged programme was, as usual, a horrible caricature, and the managers of thls cholce entertalnment, not baving the gall to lnsult o Intelligent an audlence by dlstributing them, hurried to Tue Bex office and got some other programmes hastily prepared. Tur Ber programmes were neat, tasty and answered the pur- pose well. The old grandmother there- upon got angry. Why, bless her dear old soul, if she was not in her dotage, she might know that the programmes prepared by her run-aroand-town child would not do. They had on the frontispage *‘Bill of the Play.” Now the old lady ought to have known the difference between a concert and a thea- ter, ©a coarse paper, and printed as though with a hand stamp, of courze It wouldn't do. And then, such advertise- ments as ‘‘People desiring cloves be- tween acts, try soand so’s sample rooms.” || With such an audience, and such an entertalnment, the old lady ought to have known that there were no ‘‘acts” between which the boys went out, and that the crowd was not very much of a clove-eating one, anyway, Tue BeE job rooms are not ashamed to havean im- print upon the concert programmes, though prepared so hurriedly. Nor s there any barm to be feared from the grandmother's sneer about ‘‘amateur’ work. The public knows what good work is, if the old lady and her family do not, and the public's appreciation of good work Is manifested by THE Bee haviog all it can do, necessitating constant increase of room and facllities, while the old lady is -%anding her time gossiping maliclously about her nelghbors. ‘“The opera house programme,” which was discarded, and ‘‘the dizzy, brindle colored posters from an amateur job office,” which were ac- cepted, are open for publlc inspection at TaE BEE office. The ‘‘amatuer job of- fice can well afford to let the old lady In- dulge in a little temper, as that is about the only censolation there s left to her. o ———— 3 Lace curtsins, Turkoman curtains, window shades, etc., at Harkness Brothers. . e — Facts worth remembering when you buy Wall Paper: 1st.—That Beard, next door to postoffice, has the largest stock to select from. 2d—That his prices are as low as the lowest. 3d—That he s a ractical interior decorator and employs none but skillful workmen. e ——— PERSONAL.

D, King and D, H, Pulsifier have been In the oity for a day or two looking up the detalls of the doings of Wade Hampton, the roiistey clerk at the tranafer, arrested Friday. They find that the amount stolen {8 much more than was at first thought, and young Hampton has in- created the amount to which he con- At first he only admltted taking ‘two letters, the contents of which amounted to 816, Now he admits having last Wednesday night opened ten regls- tered letters, by slitting the ends with a sharp knife, then removing the money, and resealing the envelopes, by carefully gumming the cut edges. He got $300 out of these ten letters, one of the envelopes contalning $100. Elght of the letters were sent on, after belng resealed. Theother two he clalma were the ones which were found In his possession, Several packages of letters before this have been missed, and the matter was belng investigated quletly when the dis- closure came. Young Hampton on the night of the robbery met hls girl, who belongs in Omaha, and went to a hotel where he re- remained with her all nlght, registering as “Chas. Bernhard and wife, Olarinda, Towa. He gave her $10 of the money, 5 In hotel blll and incidentals, and the next day went on a shopplng tour with the woman, At Robinson Br a gold watch at $65, He also bought her a chain, and himself a chain, a palr of silk. stockings for her, costing §4, and other trinkets. He bought a valise, some shirts, etc., of Mr. Eiseman, as If about to take a trip. There was $165 of the money which he had left when arrested. Saturday the vallsa and contents, which were as good as new, and for which he paild in all about $19 were taken by the Inspectors to the store where they were purchased, and Mr. Eiseman on learning the facts, took back the goods, and returned the money. An attempt was made to get Robinson Bro's to do the same about the jewelry, allow- ing a liberal discount for the trouble and any possible damage, but they refused. The friends of the young man hope by getting all they can into cash, Into cash that the matter can be so arra gned that all pecuniary loss caused by the young man's pllfering may be easily covered. Yesterday the young man’s trunk was tearched, but no further evidences of guilt obtained. His effects showed that in makling purchases and handling money he acted very boylsh. He had eeveral new harmonleas in his Yrunk, a variety of boylsh games, two dozen or more fancy neckties, and other articles, which showed how little judgment he had in spending money. Hampton is, In fact, only a boy. He s only 20 years old, very young for so important a posltion as that held by him, it requiring him to stay alone nights, with thousands of dollars of valuable in his possession. The woman, older than himself and more experienced, seems to have got the better of him. She has been made to give up the watch and chain glven her. Hampton’s youthfulness and his appar- ent foolishness, together with his eatima- ble family relationship, have exclted much sympathy for him, and an lnemgt will be made to get him off with as light a sentence as possible.
