If the signs can be read avight there has been an alarm sounded in the ving camp, and all hands summoned to strengthen the fortifications, T has been a belief, or rather a pre the politicians all winter that there was nothing to be fe from Van Wyck, | and that, so far as theelection of a United States senator was concerned, the make- up of the next legislature would insure a result entirely ctory to them. The developments of the last month, how- . and especially th vorce and demand of the producing pop- ulation for the return of the senior senu. tor, have given the ring a bad fright, and there s i hustling. going on.

Wilson, and C. 0. Whe- don, of the Third ward; J. C. Johnston and J. L. Caldwell, of the Second ward, and D. G. Courtney, of the Fourth ward, will enter the lists. In the First ward, on account of the extreme ~modesty of the gen- tlemen who have been solicited to be- come candidates, there are no avowals as yet. Under Kennard's tutclage, how- ever, it is expected that this litule defeeo will 'be speedily overcome. The inten- tion of the ringmaster seems to be to get a delegation from Lancaster county whose yotes can be sifted around among the various candidates for the United States senate, and at the proper time de- livered in bulk to Amasa Cobb, who i now in training to run a hard race as a dark horse. Aside from this therc will a_contest over the office of city attor- by, for which Captain L. W. Billingsly Hon. Royal D. Stearns arc under- stood to have aspirations. HOW TO DO OUR PAVING. Among the visitors to Lincoln yester- day was Mr. B. ¥. Smith, of Boston, a Fl-nlln'mzm well known in the west for his heavy investments in Omaha real es- tate and business enterprises. Knowing Mr. Smith to be a man of large experi- ence in the expenditure of money for pub- icimprovements, the BEE representative asked for his uvininn as to the advisabil- ity of paving the streets of the i city. “ltshould be done as qui possible after the sewers as his answer. “*Money paid for paving is well expended. T paid $25,000 cash Iast year alone for my share of the new pavi ents in Omaha, and I really think it is the best investment I ever made. It is | unfortunate that your streets are so wide. I think they average 100 f sixty-foot roadway is all that is necessary, and in many of the eastern ¢ mense traflic is done on strects les thirty feet wide. How to reduce oost, by narrowing the streets, will be o big ~ question. Parks in the cen- tre look well for a while, but they soon become unsighily unl losc- ly watched, and ide: 5 a double item for rbs and gutter. Widening the sidewalks to thirty feet on both sides of the street 1s, I think, your only remedy. They won't look very well, but’it is the best that can be done. Two lines of water, gas and scwer pipes should be put down, one line on cither side of the street, inside of the curbing. A separate section ot pavement could be Iaid over the trenches, and thus when it hecame necessary to get at the pipes for any purpose, the roadbed would uot huvo to be dug up.” ““The manner of paying for paving in Omaha,” continued Mr, Smith, in answer to a question, ‘makes the tax on the property ownor vory light in proportion to the benefit received. The cost of pav- ing a certain district is ascertained, and bonds to that amount. to run tel ' and bearing 5 per eent interest sued. 1 wns?:rnsum when the the lust lot of these bouds were opened, and they were taken by a Toledo firm at 84 per cent preminm. When the puvir:F is done the cost on each lot is assessed, and divided into ten annual payments, onc of which is collected with interest ever; Iyax\r, like an ogdinary tax, until the full amount is paid. Those who pre- ter, can pay the whole tax at once, and | thus save the interest. That is why I paid the $25,000 1 spoke of. There is no doubt but that this outlay has increased the value of my property fully $50,000." LABOR TROUBLES IN LINCOLN, Bricklayers' Union No. 2, of Lineoln, has adopted 8 resolution notto do moi than nine hours work a day, and to in- sist on ment of the present rate of 50, There are about sixty-five journey- in the city, sixty ot whom are mem- of the union. The five non-union :n consist of Coutractor Bush and his son, and three darkies who were bounced m the organization last winter. These men are now at work on the Townley hotel addition, where they wi visited yesterday by a’ committe, and solicited, ineffectually, to come back into the fold. Owing to the wet, buckward spring. which has made it impossible to lay foundations, there is no brickwork, aside from the Townley house job, in progress now, and ns a consequence th is no strike. The men merely serve notice on the contractors that when they do go to will insist on #430 pay for labor. A leading member of inion stated yesterday that the em- ployers were notitied of this move n three montns ago, and have all sign their intention of acceding to the demand. As soou the weather will permit, & @ number of brick l)llillllll"\-_ includ- ing the big packing house at West Lin- o Tn, will be started, and it is the desire of the men to have the matter of wages thoroughly understood and decided so that there will be no trouble or interrup- tion. A rumor was current last night to the effect thav if the bricklayers are al- lowed full pay for nine hours work, the tenders, or *hod-earriers,”” will “insist on a like reduction of hours on the present pay of $1.75 per day, or an increase in wages (o §.

Two complaints wore ‘m on file yesterday, and Ste ot Waring went about with the look of & n s<atisfied that he is earning his sal- ary. One of the complaints is from A. M. Trimble, of Lincoln, who alleges that the Minneapolis & St. Paul road charges 70 cents per 100 pounds on first class freight between Blair and Harting- ton, a distance of 112 miles, while t chavge from Omaha to Hartington, 142 miles, is only 56 cents, The commission: ers have notified Mr. Winter, the general freight agent, that this is contrary to the statm nd recommended a revision of the tarift sheet and refunding of all over- charges. In the second case the Bo of Charles City, Towa, ay that they were charged $2.38 on 400 pounds of freight from Norfolk to Madi- the Union Pacific, while the te should be only 52 cents. On ning of the overcharge to Mr. Sherlock, the agent at Madison, that gen- tleman informod them that the rate churged was correct, and was muade to discourage the shipnient by other routes m: ly be given to the compan, Blafts. " The Union Pacific authorities at Omaha have been notitied by the com missioners that the rate on the freight in question should be 53 cents for the 400 pounds, instead of $2.98, and advised a settlement of the ov e at once, and abandonment of the practice TWO RACY DIVORCE On the books of the distri two applications for divoree, so similar in their nature as to excite comment even from the clerks who are in the habit of handling such papers daily. The first is from Hattie Mitchick, who was married to Frank Mitchick, at Hannibal, Mo., i 1875, Unmindful ‘of his vows Frank is accused of having been guilty of ¢ ¢ cruel treatment of his wife, o lling her vile names, ending with a artless desertion - last year of her and two_children, aged’7 and 9 years. As Mitchick is earning $120 a month as master mechanic in railway shops, his wife, in addition so a divorce, wants a suitable alimony for herself and child: The sccond case is that of Abi Rothschild vs John 5, Ry Rothsehld. e R it 4 it Weré Taatéd an Laverpoor, Eng., in 1873, and lived together until ‘ebruary last, when defendant, by his cruelty, as the petition alleges, drove her from her home, Mrs. Rothschild a divorce and a share of defend property in this city.

Its drawing power is strong, its interest as fresh, 1ts plot and a thrilling as ever.' It has lost none of its hold.

Ho is an earnest actor, and it is an evident fact that his heart isin his work.

A Now Hostelry to be Run by Mr. Nat. Brown. A First Olass Establshment—Detafls of the Furnishing—Elegant Ap- pointments, Ete, For years past Omaha has boen noted for her well-appointed, capacious and thoroughly excellent hotels. But of late, with the increasing povulation and the rapid development of the oity, these ac- commodations have gradually become more and more inadequate to the de- mands which are being made upon them. The feeling has been that Omaha must have another first-class hotel and that at once. Such an establishment has just been opened by Mr. Nat Brown, the well known and popular hotel man of Lin- coln, who has recently located in Omaha. He has taken the house formerly run by Peter Goos, on Farnam west of Fifteenth street, and within two months, by the aid of a host of ecarpenters, painters, plumb- ersand upholsterers has transformed it into a hostelery which is first-class in every particular, and cqual, if not suy for to any in the state. It will be known hereafter s the “Merchants.” A reporter for the Bre, who had heard something of the hotel and its new man- agement, took a tour through the estab- lishment yesterday under the guidance of Mr. Brown. From top to bottom the seribe was escorted and everywhere ne found things so completely changed that it was diflicu t to realize that suc wonderful transformation ha place. A brief description of the place may not be unintercsting. On the tirst floor are the offices (occupy- ing the front of the main portion of the building), the reading and writing rooms fittegd upyvith daskea, o= & the rear, the dining-room and kitchen. All of these apartments have been re- painted and re-papered, and present a andsome appearance. in the west wing of the building is the bar-room, stocked with the choicest wines, liquors and ci On the second, third, are the guest rooms, sixty-eight in num- ber, exclusive of the parlors on the sec- ond {loor. BEach room is a gem, all of them being of good size, well-lighted and ventilated. The furnishing of yirtments, which was done by Dewey & Stone, is_elegant thronghout. ‘The furniture is of che and walnut, and of the very finest description. The carpets are of the best body Brussol and so soft and fine textured they, that in crossing the floor, one seems to be walking on down. The different apartments ar papered tastily, this feature of the re vation haying been given the most ¢ ful attention. All the room ar with steam heaters and gas P At the end of the corridors, on each tloor too, are to be found water closets and bath rooms. The plan of the hotel i such that eseape in of fire is very easy.

They are fur- nished with plush chair a8, and di- vans of the most sumptuous description, too, the foot rests on the softest of velvet brussels, while handsome curtaimn drapery about the windows,and the rich paperingof the walls contribute to the charm of the general effect. The parlor rooms are so arranged that in case of emergency, they can be thrown into separate. apartments and used for bed- rooms. Hoavy mirrors, whose use one would never suspect from their app re unfolded, let down and in a mo- time transformed into beds. A handsome center table is so arranged that upon lifting the cover one finds a pitchel hbowl, with the usual ac- ing wash. abinet grand piano, of extraordin touch and tone, for the benefit of such of the guests as are musically inclined. Going down into the basement, the re- porter was shown by Mr. Brown through the laundry, which is complete very essential and ready to turn out first-cluss work. The cuisine of the establishment is to be the best in the city. The kitchen will bein charge of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Frank, who were for eight years at the Gorham house in Burlington, Iowa, and for the past year in the or at Lincoln, The tables, which are located in an airy and well-lighted dining hall in the rear of the oftice, will be presided over by Mr. Walker, late of the Paxton, with an able and well trained corps ot colored waiters. The bar is in charge of Mr. Moxom and his assistants. Messrs. Otis Ramsey and S. H. Brooks, both able and experienced hotel men, will attend to the wants of the guests, as day and night clerks, while the general managementof the establishment 18 to be entrusted to Mr. James P. Ewing. Mrs Ewing will also be connected with the hotel, as housgkeeper. In this necessarily hasty and limited sketch of Omaha’s new hotel, it has been impossible to convey a perfect ides of the completeness and elogance which sre the prime characteristics of the establish- ment. The traveling public must see satisfy themselves, for to quote an ancient adage, “the proof of the pudding isin the cating.” Sulflice it to suy that the hotel is a credit to the city and to the state. Un- der the proprietorship of Mr. Nat Brown, who is an expoerienced hotel man with hosts of friends throughout Nebraska and the west, the “Merchants” is certainly assured of a future of unbounded success. Public Buildings for Omaha Architect Meyers arvived in the city yesterday from Denver, where he has boen superintending the beginning of the work on the §500,000 court house which is to be erected in that city. In conver- sation with a reporter for the Bek to- day he said that he had come to Omaha to attend to the closing up of the plans for the new city hall building, bids for which are soon to be advertised for have also come to your eity,” he continued, ‘‘to confer with the county commissioners about the addition of another story to the court hous Do I think it can be sa; done?

Hunting Her Husband. A middle-aged Scoteh woman, accom- panied by four small children, arrived at the Union Pacific depot on Sunday night and commenced to make iug uiries coucerning the whereabouts of her hus- band, Philip Monroe. She says that her busband left their home in Dindee, Scotland, 10 June lust, to' find & new timate just, at pres- r, not more than home in a pew world. He came to Oma- ha about |h{er months ago and soon after hie arrival here sent money to pay the passage of W& wife and children 1o this country. rs. Monroe and her children sailed from’ home on_ April 15, having sent a letter to_her hushand announcing her coming. When she ar rived here she could find no trace of her husband and lumedintely applied to the police authoritios for help. When she ast_heard from her husband he was working on the farm of his brother, John Monroe, abeut three miles from the ei She says that she has no fear that her husband intends to desert her, for it he had such a purpose he wouid not have sent her money with which to pay her to America.

The judge, who is not by means hard hearied, at onceconsented to release the negro, and ovdered Jailer Miller to dis charge him, Sunday_Judge Stenberg made in- quiries of Sexton Medlock, of Prospect Hill cemet nd found that no colored funer: vl taken place, follow who asked for.

The negro re plied that he had had no wife for several , his Iast one having died in St. Joc years ago. He denied being a party to the scheme to seeure his release. He claimed that he thought 1t had been accomplished by proper means. He will not be re-arrested, as he has near) ol out the sentence against him. Revival at the Christian Church. The threatening aspect of the weather last evening limited the opening me ing of a revival service that has been in- augurated at the Christian chureh, co ner of Capitol avenus and Twentict street. An appreciative audience, how- ever, greeted the evangelist, Rev. R. C. Barrows, and were doubtless benefitted by his able address. After an appropri ate song service Mr. Barrows chose for the subjedt of his remarks, ‘‘Behold what manser 6f love the r has be- stowed upon us that we should be called the children of God.

'If wi children of God, we are His heirs and joint heirs with Christ, if it so be that we suffer with Chr The evangelist spoke of the steps nece: to adoption 1nto the family of God.” There must be a chang of form, the adoption of the Christian and a subjection to the discipline of God’s houscliold which is ruled by love. If we are adopted into God’s family we become his_heirs gnd the i heritance 1s eternal life_and a home in our Father’s house. Rev. Barrow closed with a strong appeal to all of | hearers to become adopted into the family of God thus sccuring the incorruptiblo blessings of eternal life in a home with God. The meetings will continue evening this week and until further notice. Army Gossip.

It Putsa Quietus on the Omaha Port of En- try Bill, WHAT MANDERSON HAS TO SAY The Action of the President Severely Oriticised by Western Senators Generally.

Attention was drawn to the Omaha veto when it eame in b cause another veto had been up earlier in the day.

The senate inance and the house ways and means commttees, both of which had given the measure at least so much time d knew as much about the subject as the president, had found the bill worthy of gfavorable on.
