They arrived yesterday y express from New York. Tha Brobstel Bros. are planning on changipg the front of their harness store on I romlwn{. The improvement as planned will be a great one, All members of the K. of L. who cop- template visiting Omaha this evening to G. W. Powderly are requested to hear meet at the Broadway depot at 7:15, snarp, A report is afloat that Jesse McMahon, who formerly lived here, had committed suicide in Canada. There seems no yeri- fication of that rumor, and his friends here scout the 1dea. Miss Gertie Larsen, sister of the Main street leather merchant by that name, who was injured by being thrown out of [y nu‘zgy on Thursday evening, 18 doing nicely under the circumstances. Yesterday afternoon as onc of Skin- ner’s express wagons was making the dummy train the wagon tongue dropped and a runaway was only averted by the habitual inertia of the long eared steeds. The aldermen us a board of equal tion are mecting nightly. They are hav- ing a hard time in adjusting the assess- ments and the work promises to be a lnnfi and vexatious one. They are pro- ceeding very carefully, and thus far have only got into the second letter of the alphabet. The plat of the ®maha addition was filed yesterday. This addition is one of the best of all the new ones, and a goodly number of the lots have already been contracted for. It lies west of the trans- fer, and with the overflow from Omaha, together with local improvements, cannot but rise in value rapidly. George W. Maywood, who was a ainter here for years, is now in Cali- ornia. Sol H. Foster *vanturday received from him a bunch of oranges and a bunch of lemons, which are displayed in one of Foster Bros.” windows. The or- anges are of ordinary size but the lemons are great, five weighing thirteen ounces each. ‘Where can I throw some rubbish?’ asked a citizen of the city marshal yes- terday. He was only one of many, and the same answer comes every time. “‘I don't know, unless you find some one who is filling up a lot, and will let you ut it there.” The city has no system for cleaning up, and no regular place for deposit. Mr. Stout, who recently purchased the Ogden house property, hss gone on a ten days’ trip to 'Texas. On his return he will begin at once the improvements referred to some time ago. A new_pas- senger elovator will be put in, the floors covered with tiling, and several other changes made. It 1s his intention to make the hotel first class in every re- spect. Ed Leland denied that he was drunk. He says that he had been up all of the revious mght, and while sitting down n front of a livery stable, waiting for a man to pay him some money, he fell asleep I'he judge thought that any man who fell asleep while there was any monoy in sight must be drunk or crazy,. He fined him 50 cents extra for denying that he was drunk. A new enterprise has been started in Council Bluffs, it being that of a yeast cake factory at No. 150 Broadway. " The proprietor, Mr. Thomas, informed a BEg man that the only difhculty he has so far experienced is his inability to supply the demand. He does.not retail but sells in job lots only. He has at present only two men employed, but intends to in- crease his capacity to supply the de- mands, Mrs. M. A. Ford, who has been ill so long, died of gangrene Thursday after- noon at 4:45 o'clock at her home, No. 1020 Fourth street. She had been con- fined to her bed four months and had suffered intensely. Mrs. Ford was born in Galway, Saratoga county, New York, in 1824, She came to this city 1850, and had resided here ever smce. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the residence. The re- mains will be buried in Fairview ceme- tery, When the Grand Army gave a camp- fire here for the benefit of the Cottage hospital, the citizens contributed of pro- visions 8o liberally that there was quite a quantity left over. Although the enter- tainment was for the benefit of the hos- pital, sull some of the veterans who were on the committee concluded that it would be a just and generous thing ‘to turn a art of the unused provisions over to the ome of the friendless. To this there ‘was some opposition, as the avowed ob- ct of the entertainment was only the 0spital, and those who gave did so with that understanding. Still the veterans insisted on thus uracucul_flumemboriu the homeless children. e manager of the e now publicly thanks the ladies of the hospital for the donation and gives them the credit of the enlerlnl‘nem. ig- noring the - valiant veterans %ud their Kenerosity in the matter. cisantolend Manager.

LK. es, of Dubuque, arrived here yesterday to close the preliminary ar- rangements in regard to the building of the motor line to Lake Manawa. Those interested met yesterday afternoon, and the details were arranged satisfactorily and the contract drawn up and signed. "This makes the enterprise secure, b any shadow of doubt. Mr. Grave: know, is a man who means busines s agreement to build the line settles ull questions. Mr. Graves says he will order material to-da; d that it will be here by Friday of next weel He expects to start work at once, and to have the road running within thirty da Ithough the contract gives hin until the first of July. The line agreed to1s from the du depot on Broadway south on Ninth stre to the city limits, then west to enth street and south to Ray’s landing, then tto Marks' landing. There are to be two Baldwin noiseless motors, de- tails all having becn put in black white, and the contract signed, work will commence as.soon as_possible, and those who have watched Mr. Graves in his work elsewhere know that the chances are great that he will rush through the work long before the date fixed in the contract. ———— General Dodge at Home, General G. M. Dodge, one of the di- rectors of the Union Pacific railway, arrived here yesterday, and was greeted Leartily by his old friends and fellow- townsmen. He is looking as vigorous as though passing time and the weight of business were touching him but lightly. General Dodgeis known among reporters as one of the « t men to interview and one of the hardest to get anything out of. Heis approachable, greets an eager questioner so cordially and chats so freely that the novitiate has his hopes raised high and sees a col- umn or more of interesting reading mat- ter growing out of the golden opportu- nity. ‘I'he veteran reporters who have had the pleasure of meeting him before, know better what to expect. General Dodge talks, talks fre but when any subject is opened up that means busi- ness he can talk around it more skilfully than any of the prominents. I'ne eager interviewer is agg i by the “‘thou 7 situation that , and as he » genial general ow, don’t you re- s coming from me.” In nine times out of ten the reporter could not if he would. General Dodge did impart the informa- tion, however, that he was en route for Denver. He stopped off here to see his old home, and expected to meet Presi- dent Adams in Omaha, He would also stop heze on hus return from Denver. It was simply a private business trip. Itis understood that his real purposes in making the trip are concerning the Union Pacific. As to the details of the matters to be looked after, one conjecture is nbout as reasonable as another. It is understood that among the minor mat- ters to be considered is the Tenth avenue project. ‘I'he compaay has not taken any action as vet, and the delay has been cnused by the changein the ofticers. Mr. Potter will have numerous matters to consider, and this will be among those to which his attention will be called early. It will take him a little time to beconie conversant with the situation, so that a little delay 18 unavoidable. There seems to be no doubt but that the Union Pacific will accept the ordinance, and build its freight depot as asked. General Dodge was asked about the union depot. On this he talked a littie plainer: *‘You folks take hold of thiuf:a the wrong way . You try to make the tail shake the dog, instead ef the dog shaking the tail. The Iowa roads are more interested here than the Union Pa- cific, and they should be the ones you ought to move on for scc\lrin{x a union depot. 1f they want a union depot, and if they go in to build one, the Union Pa- cificwill rnn into it, of course. That is my belief.” “What would be done with the transfer then?t” “You needn’t worry about the transfer. We have uses enough for that. Those who think that the transfer buildings stand 1n the way of the Union Pacific running into a union depot, if one is built, are mistaken.” On_being asked about what the Union Pacific company was going to do on this side of the river, General Dodge replied that the lust time he talked with Presit dent Adams about it Mr. Adams smd he was going ahead with the plans already outlined some time ago. *‘It 1s all right then to report progress?” *‘I don’t care what you report, but you mustn’t report me as saying anything.' = They Laughed First. Yesterday Justice Barnett delivered a written opinion in the cases of the three young men, Wilham Hummel, Thomas Murphy and William Brown, charged with disturbing the religious services of the Salvation army. He doubted whether the Salvationists had any right to forbid any in the congregation leaving the hall, except . when singing, and doubted whether they had the right to lock the congrogation in. If there was any ne- cessity for any one to leave he ought to be allowed to do so and had the right to leave. In such a case, however, a per- son should approach the door as quietly as possible. In this case it seems that the whole anz started for the door with such a rush, and talked so loud, and burst open the door so violently as to disturb the entire congregation, The evidence showed that there was a regu- lar gang who went there for fun and who had been dnsturbln&z revious meetings. The defendants admitted belonging to this gang and it was evident that they disturbed this meeting wilfully. Inview of the fact that the Salvation army was rather noisy in 1ts meetings, and it was 50 peculiar an organization as to perhaps iunfly persons in being less solemn than n other places he made the fine hight— $10 each and costs. Dennis Harmer, who had pleaded guilty, was let off with a fine of half that amount. B Cutting a Forest. The evangelist, Ed Forrest, who lately held a series of revival meetings here, is now on the Pacific coast. Heis evidently still indulging iv his slang, and his talk about “scalskin Christians.”” The San Francisco Post says of him: “He brings to the aid of the gospel the vocabulary of the street blackguard and the hanger- on of gambling-houses. Christ, he tells bis audience, has ‘dealt him a full hand,’ and he assures them that it is a ‘winner every time,’ Episcopalians displease him in the manner in which they ‘do the prayer act.’ Regular clergymen who preach their . sermons in the orthodox ‘manner are ‘line-haired ducks.’ As for himself, it is his ambition to give divine truth to sinners ‘right in the neck.' It is apparent that Forrest cares more for notoriety than for the welfare of San Francisco sinners.” D J. G. Tipton hus good houses to rent. Telephone 246, ———— . The Club Organized. Another meeting of those interested 1n the formation of a business men’s club was held last evening at Mueller’s music house. There was a goodly number present. The committee on constitution and by-laws presented a written report, which after some amendment was adopted. The name of “The Council Blufts Club" was adopted, The committee on sccuring a location reported in favor of taking rooms over Rudio & Yenawine's, and it was decided to take that pls and proceed to fit the Tooms up at once. ollowing were elected as officers: S Macconell. dent—S.

Some time ago some of Jim Wilson’s family went in a hack from the opera house, and somewhere on the way lost a valuable opera glass. Wilson offered a reward of $10 for its return, but could hear nothing.about it. A few mights ago Ofticer Beswick was standing at the dummy depot, and overheard some hackmen talking about the number of articles found in hack: nd swapping experiences. One driver told about finding an opera glass last winter. The officer overhearing this, and remember- ing that Wilson had lost one, tackled the fellow, and learned from him that he had pawned the glass in Omaha for $3. On finding that Wilson would still pay €10 for 1ts return he went over to Omaha, rcdcfmed the glass, and claimed the re- ward, Wanted--Men and teams to work on dam at Lake Manawa.

The Kmghts' and their friends will leave the Broadway depot at 7:25, and returning will leave Omaha be- tween 11 and 12 o'cloc! — Latest improved gasoline stov 504 Main street, W. A, Wood.
