A CHANGE. The Dedication of the “Varieties” to a New Purpose—A Reminiscence, List night the old Buckinghsm theatre was dedicated to its new purpose, to its new work, in the hands of the ‘Womans' Caristian Temperance Union. The change i3 indeed a marvelous one. For years pas: thls resort, under differ- ent names, has been the vilest of the vile—the very center of that portion of town where are to be found all the lowest elements of life. It is verily a source of congratulation that the old place which has long been 80 notorious 1is to be con- verted Into a center of redeeming Influ- ences. The Buckingham was first known as the St. Elmo, and as such was one of the lowest varlety dens In the west. Its name was afterwards changed to the Theatre Comlque, and afterwards to the Buckingham. It was the acene a year ago of a bloody tragedy, which is yet fresh in the winds of the public, the killing of James Nugent. The murder cccurred on the evening of Sunday, March 9, 1884, The theatre was crowded with low characters, gam- blers, courtesans—those classes whose natural tastes attracted them thither, The alr was reeking with the fumes of liquor aud of tobacco. On every hand were to be heard expresslons of the vilest blasphemy. A fight broke out, arlsing from a quarcel between a gambler, Price, and & man nsmed O'Kinchel, who was some- thing of a deeperado. The contest be: came general, triends arrrying themselves on each side, Suddenly Johnny Keyes, a friend of oue of the contestants, drew his revolver and fired at young Stout, who was Interesting himssif warmly in the struggle. The ball just grazed Stout's ehoulder, but went 'crashing into the brain of Jam¢s Nugent, who was imme- diately behind. The unfortanate man expired almost instantly. Keyes was soon afterwards arrested on a charge of manslaughter, but the indictment, sub- ently found against him, was nolled at the last term of the distrlct court. The other parties to the tragedy are soattered, some of them dead, some gerv- {og terms in the penitentlary. Seal of North Carolina Tobaoco is the best. —— ‘War on the Cabbies, J. W. Boquet, & hackman, appeared before Judge Stenberg yesterday and swore out a complaint ageinst Stephen- #on & Co., the liverymen, charglng them with doing an express businesy without a license, Boquet charges that the defen- dants are in the habit of ranning an ex- press wegon In connection with their cabs for the purpose of hauliog baggage; that though they clalm to charze noth- ing extra for carrylng baggage, they really do add & charge to the regular ubl He farthermore alleges bire, etc, ete, that no license Is pald on this wagon which does the express business. Aslde from the truth or falsity of these charges, or the probable outcome of the trlal, there can be no doubt but that the hackmen are extremely jeslous of the “‘cabbies,” and have been awaltlng a chance to ‘‘jump on to” the system which is bound to work their business so much harm. The truth is that the hackmen are having less and less to do every day, and generally attribute the decadenca of thelr business to the Introduction of the osb, Hence this feeling of animosity sgainst the two-wheeler. OMAHA'S STOCK MARKET, ‘What Mr, Swan Has to Say About It, ‘I have great falth in Omsha as a fa. ture stock market,” said Mr. A, H, Swan, the Cheyenne stock king, to a re. porter yesterdsy [“and I think that the feellng smong western gattlemen is the same,” Mr. Swan is a man of ripe experience and cool jodgment, and hls statement was made 10 & manner of careful deliber- ation, in answer to a question put to him. ‘“Yes,"” ho continued, “I thinkthere is no doubt but that Omaha Is the coming stock market for the western region. Of course it will take time to accomplich great results in bullding uwp your stock interests, but 1 think that they are bound to expand vastly. Western stockmen want to sell where they can make the most profit, of course. They don’s like the extra haul of 500 miles to Chicsgo. They discover that they can get proportlonately jast as high prices here as they can in Chicago for their cattle, and coneequently they are bound to do thelr ehipping here. As for my- self, I shall no: ship any grass- fod cattle untll about the middle of August, but when I do, I shall gell the greater part of them in Omaba—all of them if I can find the market, *‘No,” he continued, *4it will be many years befora Omaha will rival Chlcago as a stock market. That clty ls, of course, the greatest cattle mart in the world to day. “You can’t disposs of cattle as quickly here s you can in Chicago—and nowhere will the market stand 28 much pressure as in Chicago. Still there 18 no doubt but that Omaha's stock interests will develope vastly,and become & source of wealth and prosperity. Mr, Swan says that cattlemen are rap- {dly-finding out the advantages of doing thefr shippiog to this city instead ot to Chicago. He says that only the otber day he heard two of them complainiog of having made the ex'ra haul of 500 miles in order to throw thelr cattle futo the Chicago mer- ket, only to discover that they could bave done as well or even better in Omaha, L — Union Pacific Lodge No, 17, A0, U.'W, These will be a regular meetiog Wed- nesdsy, Junc 17, Every member is re- quested to be present as business of im- portance is' to ba transacted.
