A LINCOLN'S LEISURE LOVERS. Where the Oapitoline Folk are Spending the Heated Season, DAMAGES FROM THE DROUGHT Movements of the Live Stock Com- misslon—A Serious Accldent— Complaints Against Street Railronds—City News. [FROM THE B! NCOLN BUREAU.] The way-up society people of Lincoln gave matters in their line a new turn this spring. The old fashioned set party with folded hands, and even the neighbor- hood or select dance or euchre party gave place to a more stylish, extensive and elaborate gathering called recep- tions. Some held thera in the carly evening from 5 to 7, and others from 8:30 10 11:00. At the ‘‘afternoons” the house was darkened, the gas lighted and every appearance of night secured. Atall of these gatherings the dresses of the ladies were especially elaborate, costing in some cases hundreds of dollars, and in others much more than some husbands could aflord. These dresses foHowed the latest fashion to the letter, and some of them fell a little short of material. The manner of construction scemed to be a start on the train and skirt, and by the time the waist was reached the material was exhausted. Street cars, though pass- Ing the door were discarded and & hack called into requisition. There is a vague story afloat to the effect that at some of these receptions something stronger than water was offered as a beverage, and even some of the members of the W. C. T. U. in their innocence indulged in a Jittle mild milk punch, but no cases of intoxication have been reported. But when the warm weather actually set in all theso things were abandoned as entirely too exhaustive, and the exodus to summer resorts and supposed cool places began. Now Lincoln people may be found east and west at watering places. 1t would seem that fow cities of it size distribute visitors and sightscers more widely than Lincoln. In winter southern California and Florida always secure a good delegation, and, too, they remain for months. In the summer they soatter even more widely. Beveral well known families are now on the Atlantic sea shore or up in the New England ‘woods or village near their native haunts. Others are north on the great lakes or in the groves of Wisconsin and Minnesota, whilo a delegation has started for Puget Bound and the unknown territory of Alaska, intending to return through the National park. Nor are the mountains of Colorado without their share, which is nlways a large one. Nor is thisall. The old world comes in for some attention, and quite a number are either on the con- tinent or enroute, Chanceller Mennatt, of the state university, and Mrs.J. H. Blair, well known in business circles, started yesterday, and one of the charm- ing things about all this going is that 1t is not confined to the rich alone, many in ordi- nary, and some even in” humble circum- stances, have found the means to indulge their taste for travel and recreation. A. J. Cropsey has gone to Denver, G. A. Mallay to Omaha. Ex-Governor David Butler, the great anti-monopolist, 48 at the Capital hotel. Dr. Rouse, Mrs. R. C. Outcault and Mrs. G. W. Ballen- tine have gone to Denver and the moun- tains. W. 8. Hamiston and family have me to St. Paul, Minn., and the northern akes. 5. Raymond, the wholesale ‘ grnoannn'd his family are summering at pirit Lake, [n. Miss l\ln{ Potvin has ne to Detroit and other Michigan cities. 183 Phebe Elliott, member of the Lincoln ochool board, with friends, will visit t‘huuuuqun. N. Y., the Thousand islands, and other summer resorts. THE BIG DROUGHT. ‘The BEE correspondent et a gentle- an to-day who has been over most of sas and western Nebraska and the ’lle he brinfis about crops 18 a woful one. n much of Kansas and part of Nebraska the long continued dry weather has cut the wheat and oats crop very short, and what damago the drought could not do the chinch bug has stepped in to com- plete. Ho roports many fields of wheat as abaadoned and only waiting for the torch to destroy as many bugs as possi- ble. Su numerous have these Fesu be- come in some places as to not only at- tack the corn but even the prairie grass, something hitherto unknown. He re- rts fields of corn that gave every prom- se, litterally folding up and disappear- Jog in the blighting influence ot these 8. He even went so far as to predict if the dry weather continued ten days longer not more than enough corn ¥ for home consumption would be raised. hile it is doubtless true that crops have been more or less damaged as suggested, yet his opinions, though arrived at from observation, are to be taken with some allowance, and plenteous rain which now is promised, may even kill the chinch {a and assure an excellent corn crnr. {'f- free from damage n this vicinity and never promised better. LIVE STOCK HEALTH, The members of the State Live Stock commussion have returned after a couple of weeks journey through the state, The ‘business in that department 18 rapidly in- creasing and the entire time of the state veterinarian and commissioners is em- oyed. There are constant complaints n regard to glandered horses. The pros- ct of securing from the state pay for n old broken down horse is so alluring hat many reports of glanders are made hat have in fact no real foundation. So frequent aro these reports indeed that it as been found impossible to make an nvestigation in all of them, and only receive attention which seem to bave real merit in them. ‘U'he disense of fll::;lurs is not on the increase in the SERIOUSLY INJURED. 4 BolwoulrI\ 1 and 2 o’clock ‘n mlumm a8 8 ceman was passing along street l:‘lront of Kelly's saloon he heard ‘what he supposed to be burglar: As sistance was called and upon investiga- tion in a narrow hall they found a msn lying in a pool of bloed. "Dr. Rueb was called and the wounded man carried out 1o the light and examined. He had evi- dently gone up the stairs and in a drunk- en stupor fallen asleep and upon waking fallen down the area way near has several cuts and bruises e é&nl the head, especially one long cut. amination shows the” wound not a ially dangerous one, but painful. flh‘ skull was not fractured, and his re- ery is quite certain, His name is mvh Quigley, a laborer. bout the same time burglars tried to ‘ t an entrance into the Cundy Kitchen on South Twelfth street, but were dis- . povered and tled before the police could _pateh on to them. THE “'GLORIOUS'' FOURTH. | __The preparations for the celeb n' are more elaborate ti gt tirst supposed. The conviet a stage with flags and national colors rated with pi of distinguished mericans dead and alive. An e mer will be served to the conviets and jted frionits. Suturday night the buse- t was pilvd full of bread] and over a jndred spring chickens = bad n d for the naial day dinner. The conviets will themselves participate in the exercises with songs and speeches. STREET RATLROADS. The Lincoln strect railway company is on the make, regardless of whether” or not it accommodates the people on the I'enth street line. The custom has been to run a car every ten minutes, but when it comes base ball time one car is delib- erately hauled off and the regular pat- rons allowed to wait the convenience of a slow coach and have their plans cut into by a failure to get a car at the de- sired time. The city will soon realize that it has given away many valuable franchises for nothing, and that the peovle have no rights which the street car companies are required to respect There should be some restrictions re iring the companies to do the fair thing by the people. There is another just cause for complaint. During the assombly at Crete the rai'road runs an excursion train leaving Crete at 9:80 each evening and arriving in Lin- coln a few minutes after 10, and there is no strect car in siE:M the camper-out must either walk a long distance home or hire a hack, which is expensive after 10 o'clock at night, It would pay the car company to give some attention to this matter, BUNDAY CLOSING. The fuss made some months since about closing stores on Sunday has all died out and to-day every store that can make any money 18 open and running on Sunday time, even grocery stores Keep- ing on as usnal. But no saloons offer to open their doors and Sunday is really a quiet day on the sireets of Lincoln. - From the Leading N. Y. Florist. C. F. Klunder, of Ne. 907 Broadway, New York, is one of the best known florists in America. Florists, like other porsons, are subject to the 1lis of life, notwithstanding the fragrance surround- ing their ealling, but hke other persons they can be cured of their ills. Mr. Klunder writes: 1 cordially recommend Allcock’s Po- rous Plasters. I have found them, after 10 years’ constant use, wonderfully eftica- cious in coughs, colds, pains in side back and chest, As chest protectors and shields against changes in the weather they are invaluable. My hothouse men use a great many, and I and family are never without this never failing external remedy. REAL ESTATE.

DON'T GET WET, Not Fashionable Now For Society Feo-~ ple to Go in Bathing, Chicago News: Surf bathing is no longer a fashionable diversion, Swim- ming schools, therefore, are less fre- d by women than they were two rs ago. Those who disport themselves in the natatorium pools during the hours sacred to the feminine sex are generally school girls and swall sies. " A few seasons ago the natato- riums of the city were con- ducted with © extreme exclusiveness. When a lady unknown to the management applied for a season’s tui- tion she was not admitted as a pupil until ber standing was looked up. Aristocratic and dainty women tlocked to the swim- ming scliool every moruing. Intense often bitter, rivalry sprang up betw the fair nymphs of the basin. Certain women attained local celebrity for their skill in the water, The cold and treach- erous waves of Lake Michigan offer lttle encouragement to the swim- mers, and natatoriums afforded the enthusiasts their only opportunity for lndulgmg in this recreation. They vied with each other in the beauty and variety of their bathing suits. These were of all colors, but pale blue, pale rose color aud pure white, through which the pink skin could lmmlflgleum. were voted the most effective. hey were ex- ceedingly abbroviated garments. When exhibitions were given toward the end of the season spectators were only ad- mitted by invitation of the ladies, and the number of invitations was limited at that. The show was hedged in with exclusiveness. It was es- teemed a privilege to be admitted to and behold the exhibition of loveliness in tho tub. Pure-minded women, with unsul- lied reputations, displayed their charms in the water with “innocent abandon, But the craze ran its course like all fash- ionable crazes. Slowly, at first, the ex- clusive dames began “to drop out of the coterie of swimmers.
