THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. APRIL 26 1887 THE DEMOCRATIC SKIRMISH, It Results in a folidly Unanimous Boyd Delogation. TO BE RENOMINATED TO-DAY. Dne of the Most Remarkable Votes on Record in the Third Ward—A Waterloo for the Straight Ticket in the Fourth, Lhe democratic primaries were not so harmonious as was expected before they opened, but there still was harmony enough to eleet as delegates to the con- vention to-day gentlemen who will unanimously vote for the nomination of dsmes G. Boyd for mayor. It is gener- ally conceded that Mayor Boyd will be named as the democratic candidate be- forc the people 8 He telegraphed from Chicago yesterday that he had never authorized any one to state that he would not be a candidate for renomina- tion. To say that the unterrified hailed this telegram with fechngs of joy is to draw it mila. They made thing hum at the primaries in favor of Boyd men. There were contests m~ the Third, Fourth and Fifth wards, In the Third ward the Boyd question—or the mayor- alty question in any shape in fact—cut a small figure. The contest ciphered itself down to the question of whether Pat ¥ord should be allowed to write “Polit- ical Dictator of the Third" after his name. It may be remarked, now that after the smoke of battle has cleared away, Mr. Ford continues in husiness at the old stand. The miracle of feeding the 5,000 with a marke and fishes was relegated to a rear seat. Last fall between 600 and 700 votes w polled 1n the Third republican and democratic. Yeste b3 democrati me ward.

Booth as Richelien last night gave such an expression of the subtleties of the charachter as nothing short of his sublime intellectuality could achieve. The individual attributes of the wily car- dinal were so strongly illvstrated that one lost sight of the mimie surroundings and fancied himsclf watching a veal character, The same genuineness characterizes every detail of Booths im- personation. The painful cough, and fecbleness of extreme age contrasting with the crrft and undomitable sipirit that constitutes so much of the dram element in Richelieu attained the height of art with Booth's handling. The far reaching current of his magnetism communicated itself to every- one in the house and left a strong con- viction of the actor’s genius on the least impressionable in the audience. Never m loeal history has an Omaha audience 8o far forgotten itsel to warm into en- thusiasm over a truly artistic perform- ance until Booth brought out their latent appreciativeness with his magie. At the end of each act the great actor was com- polled to bow his acknowledgements to the transplanted audicnce. ‘The entire house was filled with all classes of people. Many of them were not regular frequenters of the theater, but people to whom the event of night was an epoch. The support was tolerably good. To-night, Hamlet. MR. BOOTH'S ARRIVAL IN OMAAA. The Union Pacific morning passenger rain from Denver came in yesterday morning in two secctions, nine ] in each section. In_the divisions were Edwm , “Dawvid Garrick,” and an- other containing nbout twenty-tive mem- bers of his company, The former was switched to one of the middle tracks a e below the depot, and there until shortly after dinner,when Mr. Booth left it and drove to the Mil- lard, where, with the following members of the company, he will sojourn during his engagement: H. Brown and wife, Gieorge J. Rhodius, John I, Sullivan, L. J. Henderson, Francis K. Hart, Magomgle, Mrs. Augusta Foster, Mrs. S, .

Johnny Travers, a boy of not more than three months’ acquaintance with the ways of metropolitan life, was enjoy- ing himself hugely yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock when the ele- vator in the Wiihnell block was goin, up and down. There was a window iu the building which bap- pened to come in conjunction with a window or some opening in the door. Johnny didn’t see it.

Lou May, ot Fremont, chairman of the Nebraska State Fish commission, was in town yesterday closing up some of the affnirs of the commission of last year with Mr. 8. E. B. Kennedy, who is plso a member of the commission, One of the old friends whom he met was Charles Brown, who 18 now being urged bysome of the democrats as a can- didate for mayor. Lew asked himif he were going to permit his name to be used for the office in question. Mr. Brown remarked that he could not think of such a thing, now that Mr. Way was a resident of Tremont. [f the latter were a resident of Omuha, the caso might be different, because he could then become the city clerk. By way of explanation it may be said that twenty-two years ago, in 1867, Mr. Brown was Mayor of Omaha, and Mr, May was city clerk. And they are both young men and with each, the world has been particularly kind and easy. South Omaha Notes.

Harrison, Ambler & Woolley Make a Great Success of Their Sale— The Special Discount Good for To-day Only. arly £60,000 worth of single lots were sold in Ambler Place yesterday by Harri- son, Ambler & Woolley, who kave so thor- oughly advertised the sale during the ast few days. 'he sale far exceeded their most sanguine hopes, and if the sale is half as good to-day they ought to be satis- fied, The drawing feature in yesterday's sale was the fact that an even $100 was taken off' the price of all lots sold and the same discount will hold good to-day ouly. There are only 150 lots to be sold the remainder to be reserved, and as about half of them were sold yesterday is safe to say that not a lot be left ~after the sale isover. Nearly all the lots bought so far are for residence purposes and not for speculation, and a number of new houses will probably be built this season. Al credit is due Harrison, Ambler & Woolls who managed the processions in a very neat manner. ‘I'wo trips were made, one 1n the forenoon and one in the afternoon, both cases a long line of car- riages was headed by a band of music. The advantages of a residence in Am- bler Place are becoming better known every day, and the sale of so many lots - will add greatly to their present value. ‘The Omaha Southwest- ern street railway will give residents in this part of the city arapid transit to and from the business center, and will double the price of lotsin this vicinity before the road 1s in operation two months.

This right will be granted at the next election, and before fall it is probable that cars will be running the full length of the route. Asnow laid out the road will run east on Purk street from West Side to Hanscom park, thence north on ‘Thirty-second street. better known as Madison street, to Woolworth avenue, tihence east either to Twenty- street or to Twentieth street, north to Leavenworth street, thenee east to Sixteenth street,thence north to Dodge street, thence cast to Thirteenth street, thence north to the Paul depot. Ambler Place issituated within the two and a half mile circle and only a half mile directly west of Hanscom Park, in the southwestern part of the city, adjoin- ing the poor farm, and upon the highest and most beautiful plateau overlooking the southwestern part of the city is Ambler Place. Its streets and avenues need but hittle work to bring them to per- fect grade, though about 200 men are now leveling the avenues as rapidly as that number of men can. Ambler Place now contains twenty-five or thirty nice residences, a church and several other buildings, while only last week the tracts were let for the ercction of cl new and beautiful two-story hous average cost of $2,000. Besides these, a mu,]om_v of the purchasers to-day will build, and before snow flies that part of the city will be well supplied with houses. Then the probabilities are that a _depot will be erected on the belt line within two blocks of Ambler Place, on which road passenger trains are now run- ning to and from the city, while the sure thing is the Omaha Southwestern street car line which will be in operation,within sixty days, and will run by Ambler Place as far west as Kckerman Place. This line will give the residents in Ambler Place two ways for reaching the city, the busi ness _portion being reached by the cars in less then twenty minuets. is to say, that Ambler Place c: 3 reached in from five to ten minutes less time than Hanscom park, under the pres ent facilities. Those who have seen tl city grow to its present size can ecasily realize what the future of Ambler place will be with its street car line, and all will unite in sayig that no better invest- ment is offered in Omaha to-day than a lot in Ambler place, and for home pur- PO 1t cannot be excelled, rriages will leave the oflice of Harri- son, Ambler & Wouolley, 418 S, 15th st., this morning and until all the lots are sold, although the special discount will only nold good for Tuesaay.

FIELD A Arbor D Philadelphin News: The name of J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, will long deserve honor by Americans, for he is the man who first pfoposed the institution of Arvor day, whidh has now become generally observed throughout the country. It has taken some experience to find the best day of eelebration. At first Arbor day was placed too soon, owing to the generally accepted but fallacious theory that spring begins on April 1, Governor Beaver has recognized the need of a later day than usual by hxing it on April 22 ivstead of April 15, as hereto- fore. The admonition contained in the gov- ernor’s proclamation ought generally to be observed. The newspaper pross has been urging its importance upon the public for nearly ten years, and the arguments of its pr:wucurnecc%sltv and usefulr ave now generally recognized, A general observance ot Arbor day will in course of time result in profit a hun- dred-fold over the expense, and will {mplrove the climate and beantify the and. * Chicago Tribuné: Arbor-Day dates back only fifteen years, when it was first observed in Nebraska,in pursuance of an executive proclamation by the then gov- ernor, acting on a suggestion made by J, Sterling Morton. The idea ‘“‘took” al once with the people living on the tr less plains immediately west of the Mi: souri—a region which even appeared on many maps and in some geographics as t of *‘T'he Great American Desert.”’ T'welve million shoots were planted on the oceasion of the first observauce of Arbor-Day, in Nebraska, and at the next session of the legi made a legal holid were awarded by law orchards, forest and ornamental trees ‘Lhe custom has been observed ever since, and as a result the United States Forest commissioner reports that fine are growing 300 miles west of the 605,000,000 dimutive are now th ng where a few years ago none could be seen except along the stream.

As Prof. Brewer well says, Arbor day can be advocated for three very good reasons: (1) Because it gives a bit of nature's teaching really needed when thousands of children are growing up unable to name three kinds of trees or distinguish wheat from oats; (2) because of its economic importance in spreading wood growing threughout the state; (3) beeause of its results in clothing waste places with valuable timber and beauti- fying the state. and Army Fruit Trees Near Streamas, Correspondence of the Rural New Yorker: Apple and pear teees will bear annually fine crops of fruit if standing close to'the banks of a living stream.

I was aflicted with rheumatism bor many years, and it had become chrouic in the worst form, and after taking two bottles of Athlophoros I have nave not had a return of it for six months., It done more than that: my wife was afflicted wi neuralgia twelve years, had an attack every month.

Last winter was a very severe and cold one for me, but 1 did not have any return ot the rheumatism. Athlo- phoros has proven a good medicine for " About a year ago Mrs. McCue had avery severe attack of inflammatory rheu- matism, in which the feet and hands were very nuch swollen, so much so that you could scarcely sce one of the ankles, and some of the toe nails were completely cov- ered for many weeks. She had suffered almost the agonies of death. Finally after resorting to various remedie with no avail her husband noticed the advertise- ment of Athlophoros. The result of its use was miraculous; the swelling was soon reduced, the pain snbdued and she was again up and around and has not been troubled since.
