He was employed in the “Q" yards at Kast Nebraska City. He was ordered off the strects a number of times by brotherhood sympathizers, and refusing was assaulted, and would undoubtedly have been killed but for the timely interference of a citizen, who was passing.

Loss, $10,000. e —— Shoulder Straps at Kearnoy. - Keanxey, Neb, April 10.—]Correspond- ence of the Bee.]—The city has assumed its usual business-like appearance, since the de- parture of the officers of the Platte, who paid us a visit last week, and our citizens are again discussing the advantages of the water power and looking after the sale of lots. The city’s distinguished guests arrived last Thursday on a speclal car, the Mirage. On the arrival of tho train they were met at tho depot by a committes of ¢itizens who were introduced by Mr. Juan Boyle, he being o personal friend of a number of the party. They were driven from the depot through the brilliantly lighted streets to the Midway, which takes its name from the fact that it is half way between the two oceans. While the guests repaired to their rooms, the Mid- way city band rendered some beautiful music, during which they again assembled in the spacious parlors and marched to the dining hall, where they were served with a dinner of twelve courses interspersed with claret, Burgundy and champagne. The table was beautifully decorated with candles and American Queen roses, each lady re- celving with an imported dinner card repre- senting a lady in the olden time, a corsage boquet and the gentlemen each a’ buttoniere. After the dinner, which lasted two hours, they repaired to the parlors where they found a number of ladies and gentlemen who had informally assembled to welcome them, and among them a number of Kearney'smus- jcal people and a pleasant evening was spent. Mrs, Stein rendered a beautiful plano solo, which was followed by a beauti- ful operatic air by Mrs. Swenson who came 10 this country as the soprana of the Swedish quartette. This was followed by a du- ette by Mrs. General Wheaton and Mr. Kinzie, of General Wheaton's staff. After this Miss McParlin, daughter of the musical director, General McParlin, delighted all with selections from Reubenstein. — The musicale closed with a duette by Mr. and Mrs, George W. Frank, jr. After the young gentlemen had made their several engage- ments with the young ladies for the morrow and good night had been said the guests re- tired to take a mucu needed rest. On the following morning, after a 9 o'clock breakfast, the guests started on a_dri companied by several of our citizens in car- riages and on horsebaci, o see the principal {minfl of interest around thes city. During he drive they visited beautiful Lake Kear- ney, which is the wonder of Nebraska, and many of the officers and their ladies enjoyed & good row, and some took advantage of a nice sail on the steam yacht, the Prairic 3‘uem. ‘They also viewed from the pavillion e site of old Fort Kearney, which has given way to the farmer’s industry. They Tow returned to the hotel, where they tooi Junch and a short rest, after which they vis- ited the inaustrial school; where they were kindly received by Prof. 'Mallalieu and lady, and shown through the iustitution. While there the industrial school band, which is composed of boys, rendered some national airs m a very creditable manner, for which General Wheaton thanked them in a neat speech in the name of the officers and ladies accompanying them. On the homeward drive they stopped at the residence of Mr. Juan Boyle, and were received by Mrs, oyle, assisted by Mrs. W. A.Downing, Miss TFinch, Miss Early and the Misses Goodell. Tea was served by the young ladies, after which all drank to a toast by Captain Ray, of General Cook’s staff—To the camp on the Platte”—which made all hearts glad, as it gave promise of meeting again. ~ The pur was served from a historic bowl, which was brought to this country on the Perry expedition by Commo- dore HBoyle. The duplicate of this bowl is in the Smithsoniun at Washington, having been rosented to President Buchanan by the choon of Japan, In the evening aftera dinner far surpassing in beanty the one of the day before a re- ception was held and was attended by the youth and beauty, the old soldier, the clergy and in fact most all our citizens, who were all auxious to do honor to the distinguished guests. A full orchestra played in the bail om, which, with the beautiful toilets of the adies and the dazzling uniforms of the officers made a delightful picture and an evening long to be remembered. In the morning Lieutenant Green, aide- camp to General Cook, was made the hearer to the general of a beautiful tioral offering, desigried by Mr. Boylo—a crook and a sabre, standing four feet high—sent by the citizens of Kearney. Assembled at the depot to bid the guests farewell, were a large number of ladies and gentlemen, many with their regrets at parting, and many of the young ladies who say that Lieutenant Wright shall not be an old maid if they can prevent it, even though he does play the part in the play to be given by Mrs. General Wheaton at Fort Omaha next week, Many of the young ntlemen are waiting for the return of Miss , Miss Wilson, Miss McClintock, Miss G:ibuan and Miss McPharlin to take promised ves, Regrets were received from General Mar- w, who was detuined at Fort Sidney where @ was suffering from a slignt indisposition. Regrets were also received from a number of other officers who were unable to attend. Fort Niobrara's Amateur Theatric: Fonr Niosrara, Neb., April 19.—[Corres- pondence of the Bee.)—The third perform- ance of the Fort Niobrara Dramatic club was rendered in the capacious amusement all at this post on the evening of the 15th upon which occasion was presented the wo aot drama entitled “Among the Broak- ers," a wéll selectod play, replete with bright dialogue and striking situations. The house was crowded to overflowing by members of the garrison and many prominent citizens of the adjucent town of Valentine. Mrs, Kautz, by no means a novice behind the footlights, in her yendoring of Mother Cary, exhibited that - strength of character and powerful presence which distinguish her in real life, and so greatly add to her histrionic talent and success on the stage. Towards the close of the play, where she throws off her dis- sa a8 & fortune-teller, and appears in her ue character, viz: the deserted and abused wWife of David Murray, her actiug was strong and gxcellent, and rivalled the best efforts of many distinguished wewmbers of tho theatri cul lession, Murs. Hryant, as Biddy Bean, an Irish girl, showed careful study and ex it conception of the part, with a brogue and make-up that any eharacter actress t have envied, and with her shy, etish manner, she was irresistible. ‘Waters and Miss Fitch as . “Miss Min- Jo Doze” and *‘Bess Starlight” may be said have made a decided hit in their respective and gave evidence of the possession ‘of more ordipary soubrette ability. charming style, and in addition to this their costumes were happily chosén and gracefully and offectively worn. “David Murray,” the light-house keeper and chief character, was rendered by Licutenant Richardson. This part was a long and difficult one’ from begin- ing to end, but hisefforts drew forth repeated applause and were crowned with marked success, Mr. Cusack, as “Larry Devine and Mac Brantley as “Lend” were inimita- ble, and repeatedly threw the house into roars of laughter, and never failed to produce the thundering applause which they 80 richly merited. Lieutenant McBlain, in the role of “Bruce Hunter” impressed the audience with the belief that heavy tragedy and light com- edy were equally within his grasp. He soemed perfectly at home on the stage, and in his scene with “‘Mother Cary,” his utter forgetfulnes of seif and surroundings was most excellent. This was Lieutenant Me- Blain’s first appearance before a Niobrara andience. Lieutenant Emmet as ‘‘Clarence Hunter”’ acted his part with the same graco and quict dignity that characterizes every- thing he does. He was thoroughly in ear- nest, and arotised the sympathy and appro- bation of his audiencs ““Poter Paragraph’ was represented by Lieutenant Hutcheson in that that happy off-hand manner poculiar to himself, which has already gained for him_ a well deserved reputation as an actor. His roception when he first appeared clearly distinguished him as a general favorite. After the performance the whole company adjourned to the quarters of Captain Sum- merhayes, where the wife of that gentleman had propared a supper, which was appropri- ately discussed until a late hour. Pty Orete Cullings. Cuere, Neb.,, April 19.—[Special to the Bep.]—The number of strangers that have come to Crete during the last three days is astonishing. All of the hotels and boarding houses are filled to overflowing, and a few of our best citizens have opened their houses to accommodate visitors for the time being, until such time as they can procure perma- nent lodgings or put up houses for them- selves. Traveling men who make Lin- coln their headquarters have come to make inquiries concerning the price of lots, the cost of building and rents; some have en- gaged board, and others have bought lots, in- tending to build and make Crete their home. The newspaper ofices are visited by persons secking information concerning vacant houses and vacant rooms. The real estate men are at their wits’ end to procure houses and rooms for strangers. One real estate agent sub-let tho rooms he had rented for himself, and then had to sleep n his office. There is not & house to be had nor a vacant room. The demand is unprecedented in the history of Crete. At night the streets have the appearance of a big political convention, by reason of the number of people. Me- chanies and workingmen of all kinds are in such demand that builders and contractors don’t know which way to turn to keep their contracts good. All the business men are rushed day and night supplying the demands made upon them, ~ Business and residence lots are in‘great demand and bringing good prices, whole squares are being sold, aud the people are just beginning to realize the fact that they have a town in which it is a delight to live, and where they can live cheaper and better than in any city south of Omaha, Men are strung along the Missouri Pacific railroad like bees in a hive from the Big Blue river to the bluffs in the east part of town working like beavers putting down ties and rail Lots that last fall brought from 150 to $200 to-day are selling for from 50 to $300. Dwelling houses that sold for $2,000 and §2,500 are bringing 83,000 and $3,500. Crete is not having a boom, nor do the people want a boom, as is generally understood, but the transactions are genuine, and people are com- ing here to live and stay, and intend making this place one of the most beautiful and valu- able cities in Nebraska. W, T. Buchanan, in conjunction with D. J. F. Reed, has commenced his two-story brick on the site of the old frame building de- stroyed by fire some time since. The build- ing will cost 4,000, to be finished by the first of July. Loup City Industries. Loup Crry, Neb., April 22.—[Special to the Bre.]—With the opening of spring Loup City’s prospects open brighter than ever be- fore. Our streets are filled with moving buildings and building material. No town in the state has a more active and enterpris- ing class of business men. During the long, dull winter just passed our citizens were active, and the result is now to be seen in our new $7,200 creamery, which has just been put in operation, and the new brick yard, which has buildings up and has begun moulding. Work has been resumed on the city water works, and -we are promsed a completed system within thirty days. Thenew flouring mill, which has a capacity of 125 barrels per day is running full time, and still is un- able to fill all orders. We now ueed a can- ning factory. Such an institution would be a paying investment in this vicinity. Andrew Oll of Grand Island, will build a large beer vault here and make this a dis- tributing point for the northwest. Although we have no high license or prohibition ‘“board,” an intoxicated person is seldom seen ou our strects, Since the completion of the new steel cage jail last fall it has had but one occupant. We have two churches and another one in course of erection. We have one of the best graded schools in the state, with a daily attendance of 250 scholars, The B. & M. railroad passes through, and the Union Pacific makes its terminus here, thus giving us excellent distributing facilitie and with a very fertile and productive su rounding farming country, where a drought has never been known, which is occupied by an industrious class of farmers, we consider City as standing one among the many Nebraska future prominent cities, Ord Building Up. Ogp.,Neb., Apnil 22.—[Speeial to the Bee.] —AS%, present the prospects of a building boom in Ord are good. More building has been done in this city this spring than ever Dbefore so early in the scason. A large build- ing for a butter and cheese factory has just been completed, and goodly quantities of these products will soon be manufactured. The stockholders of this institution held a meeting recently and elected a board of directors, preparatory to incorporation under the laws of Nebraska. A large majority of the stockholders are farmers, and these, to- gether with numerous other farmers in the vicinity of Ord, are making arrangements to wmilk more cows this summer than ever before, Among other improyements ta aid in the na- ture of buildings now under way of construc- tion may be mentioned the Ord National bank block, a large two-story building, the B. & M. depot, o planing mill and numérous dwellings in all parts of the city. Several prominent families and influential business men, who left here last fall for California and Oregon have recently returned and re- engaged in business at this place, and they are better satisfied with Nebraska, and es- pecially Ord, than ever before, A complete system of waterworks is now in full opera- tion here, and a fire company has just been organized. et They Do Not Drink. OAKLAND, Neb., April 22.—[Special to the Bee.)—Decatur, In the northeast part of Burt county voted this spring in favor of license and thirty frecholders who favor saloons can not be found in the town to sign the saloon men’s petition, so Decatur goes dry for another year, despite the majority of vaters. Tekamah voted in favor of license by thirty-seven majority and will also go dry, a8 the city *‘dads" are ona tie and the mayor cannot vote. Oakland has two saloons in full blast, both paying down $1,000 and will be the only town in the county having saloons, bat it is thought, by the assistance of West Point and Hooper, that she will be able to satisfy all in Burt county who crave the stuff, Stanton Continues to Grow. SraNTON, Neb,, April 19.—[Special to the Beg. |—Stanton still ou the increase in the way of improvements. Piiger & Feyerberm have put up a large two-story frame ware- house on Pacific avenue to accommodato their large and growing machine trade, Newman Brothers' hardware store has been overhauled and nicely painted inside and out, which makes it one of the finest hardware stores outside of Omaha. ‘The Stauton creamery is running now and is turning out some very fine butter, most of which is shipped east. The county commissioness have appropri- rendered their characters in a wmost | atod §200 to the Stanton agricullural assocl- ation, and they expect to have a very fine exhibit this fall. They are -also sbénding $300 or #400 on the court house grounds in planting trees and. putting up & substantial iron fence around the grounds; - Superior's Boom. Surenion, Neb., April 19.—[Special to the Ber.]—The mills of the gods grind slowly, ete., but the agencies for furthering Supe- rior's prosperity are as surely at work as if the boom were now upon us, The Santa Fo and the Northwestern surveyors are at work pushing their respective line through with an energy and vim that_looks very much like business. Waterworks and electric light will be put in by autumn, and solid business houses and elogant residences are going up rapidly. Real estate s solling well at_gooc pricos, and strangers aro coming i every day who invest their cash in lots, Superior will undoubtedly double its population within a year. Facts from Franklin, FRANKLIN, Neb., April 21.—[Special to the Ber.|—The stock of the ‘‘Nimble: Nickel"” store, owned by J. F. Zediker, has beén re- moved to Grand Island. Our academy here has_secured Prof. A. C. Hart, of Knoxville, Ta,, fér principal of the academy. He is a man of twenty years’ ex- perience in educational work, and-the future of the academy is bright with promise. Rev. Harrison received £500. for the aead- omy day o tiwo ago, Chancellor Mannatt made the' academy a visit on the 19th. H. M. Crane, the_proprietor of the Repub- lican Valley Echo, has sold his paper to Mr. Carson Hildreth, who has removed it to Bloomington. Faulty Quarantine Papers. OMcCook, April 20.—To the Editor of the Bee: Iwish to make a short statement of the way emigrants are being detained hero on account of the cattle quarantine law of Colorado, Scores of men are :here with quarantine papers not made out correctly and have to stay here at heavy expense till they can send or go back to the county they left in order to have them rectified. It is claimed here that all raflroad agents should see that quarantine papers leaying their stations. for Colorado are good and thus save great delay and expense to emigrants, JACOD JONES, A Big Fire Averted. Avnuny, Neb., April 22,—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.|—The city had a narrow escape from dostruction by fire this after- noon. About 5 o'clock fire was discovered in the corner of the building_occupied by Willard’s hardware store, but was put under control before much damage was done. It was o narrow escape, as 4 brisi wind was blowing. Destroyed by a Prairie Fire. OAKLAND, Neb.,, May 29, —[Spécial Tele- gram to the Ber.1—A prairie fire near town this evening destroyed a five-acre tract of black walnuts, catalpas, and someé large cot- tonwood trecs, also cordwood -belonging to Andrew Morell. The damages dre not known but will be great. The fire was set by A. Heglund, AMUSEMENTS. Excellent Production of Sonnwendhof" Last Night. The German company at Boyd’s last night gave a remarkably strong presentation of “Der Sonnwendhof,” the cast being strength- ened by the appearance of Marie Kraft-Frey. It may be well doubted if the compdny has appeared to greater adyantage * fhis = year. Every chavacter was strongly cast and the harmonious working of the members was more pronounced than ever. The piece is of exceeding interest. It illustrates life among the Tyrolese and nearly every one -of its i cidents is within the bounds of probability. In brief a young woman appears. in one of the Tyrolean hamlets, careworn and suffer- ing in both heart and mind. She has aban- doned her former home, where she was be- loved by a pair of young men, who upon being informed that their love is not requited, comuit suicide. In her new refuges the young woman is by some charitably received, by others warmly repulsed. She wins the affections of a young man who has already been given the love of a patroness, accuses the villain of the incendiarism, of which she knows him to be guilty, which accusation results in his death by precipitat- g him intoa mountainous abyss. This ends her trouble, and is followed by her betrothal. There is little of the light comedy to illumine the piece, but the sombre incidents whiich throng it are of such absorbing inter- est that the comedian may well be dispensed. Mrs. Kraft Frey was a painstaking, earnest Monica, making the most of every opportu- nity and playing in such a manner as to deservedly win the, appreciation of the audi- ence. The same may be said of Miss Roe- mer, whose Anna_was a beautiful piece of work; and Mr. E iseman, Mrs. Bauréis and Mr. Puls. Mr. Koch played Mathias, the 111- starred villain, with even more than his ordi- nary success, rounding out the cast in a most acceptable manner. Mrs, Puls-Ahl and Mr. Baureis had but little to do, the former sup- plementing her work with a couple of 8olos, which were encored. The piece was sogreat asuccess that some of the audience desired it to be repeated. THEY THOUGHT HER DEFORMED. White Horse Gulch Mincks Pity a Girl With a Bustle. Rocky Mountain News: - Every miner in the camp was excited and talking about it. Now, it took some very im- portant event to thoroughly avouse all the boys along the gulch. A vow in which only one man was killed was con- sidered a very commonplace . social event, and an_ordinary iynching did not attract much attention. What was it? . ‘Why, there was a woman in cawp, and all was commotion. It wasthe first great social event in “White Horse Gulch. > The young lady had finishéd hr din- ner and was strolling about the camp with her uncle, a large, fleshy, jolly old man, who was a large stockholder i one of the principal mines-in theguleht Fe had brought his niece, n young lady of twenty, on a trip wish him for company and also to to show her something, of the wild and rugged west.

A dried-up old maid from New Kngland, dieted -and preserved on non-sugared tea for a quarter of .a cen- tury, would have been considered hand- some and very lovely, for the old maids are given a fair show every time, The boys were all charmed by.the. polite manners and handsome face of the young lady, but there was a look of deep sympathy in the eyes of all when they saw her,” *‘It is too bad,” was ‘the prevailing sentiment of all, “What a handsome face, pard,” ex- claimed a miner, *‘but how anfor- tunate.” ! Some admired her handsome face, others her beautiful black hair, and others her comely shaped foot, but all pitied her for her deformity. That evening, after the young lady had retired, the uncle was chatting with a number of the miners, and his nicce, of whom the fond uncle was very proud, became the topic of conversa- tion. Finally, one hardier than the rest, said it wasa pity she was de- e el st sl D ol the uncle how the hearts of all the miners in White Horse gulch had gone out toward him for her afifiction. “Afilicted!” shouted the enraged uncle. ‘“Afflicted!

An “Der THE SOUTH, OMAHA BUDGET. Three Sund ay: Kires in Hotels With But Little Loss. {1 THE NEED OF f}lORE PROTECTION. Saloon Keeperd Fear That They Will Be Made to Pay for Their Licenses jn Advance— Bpivf Nows, i Three Warnings. Like all new towns, the buildings in South Omaha are almost entirely built of wood, and would but add fuel to the flames in case of a general conflagration. Last weok there were two fires that showed how inadequate was the fire department to cope with a large fire. There were also three fires yesterday, but fortunately all were on a small scale, or else, with the high wind that prevailed, nothing but a black spot would have marked where South Omaha used to be. The first conflagration was "in the Shamrock house, but it was extinguished with ' @ few pails - of water. The second burst out mysteriously in an unused room of the Wisconsin house, but was dis- covored and put out before any material damage was done. The third was in the Benson house, and originating in the kitchen, worked its way to the roof before it was di covered. The alarm was sounded and thos members of the fire company within reach responded with the hose cart, but an im- promptu bucket brigade extinguished the flames beforedhey reached the scene. The premises were owned by Mr. Steveus, and oceupied by S. W. Dennis. About $125 worth of property was destroyed,ibut it was fully insured ‘What Will You Do About it? Now the saloon keepers are alarmed be- cause it is very generaily stated that South Omaha will follow the example of Omaha and enforce the payment of a year's license, £500, in advance. Before the election Mayor Sloan intimated that he would not interfore with the present order of things, but it is suid that some of the present councilmen are strongly in favor of the change. In the meantimelsaloon keepers are following out th letter of the law and are procuring the nec- essary signatures to their petitions for li- cense. They say the movement is inaugu- rated by the men who made mofiey without paying any license at all, and who now object to seeing anyone else make a dollar. They also say it is the first step towards prohibi- tion. clonidi it « Notes About the City. Work has been commenced on the feed mill at Albright.

Allison—but he wgl 50, and early, too, rocognized ns one of its most capable and eloquent members, Blaine and Garfield were both young men of fine appearance, even of stately manliness, but they were not_‘“heauties” par ex- cellence. Garfleld rolled his head and posed to much, and Blaine always was spoiled by his bulbous nose. It was in that first session, too, that the fight between Coneling and Blaine occurred. It illustrated in its inception one of Mr. Blaine's tricks. any issue was coming teo near home he always attacked some one, and, under cover of the row, distracted attention. In the case of Mr. Covkling he suc- ceeded adlniruhl{ for himself. The subject was a bill in regard to draft matters and the provost marshal gener- al’s office; Mr. Counkling wauted te ) | make an attack on that offic Blaine opposed this, and was cvidently desirous n& shielding it. Whatever the oause, it is certain. that he deliberately pricked Mr. Conkling into a dispute, and then made his famous personal attack on him _ahout thé turkey-cock, ete. That first fight illustrated an over- weening quality in Roscoe Conkling. He had too much aignity. He had wit, the lightning play of the intellect, but his sense of humor, the glaring sun- shine of temperament which brings in- congruity into antithesis and laughs over the oddity, was almost as small as vas that of Charles Sumner. Mr. Blaine s more of it; hence his wit is of the trle-ax ord while Mr. Conkling’s was of the finer steel which mental ar- morefs forge into sword blades. Blaine pricked the dignity: Conkling answered 100 seriously and then his opponent rid- iguled him until even his friends roared. Yet he was right, and they knew it. It Tias been a life fight ever since, and Mr. Conkling by no means lost all the in- nings. The yaulting ‘ambition of the other man in seeking to leap over his opponent, whom he insulted without due cduse, has time and again “lain prone on the other side,” and he remains there, Roscoe Conkling’s legislative honors have,after all, been won in the senate chamber. How easily he filled his place and how large a place it was, with Sumner, Fessenden, Chandler, Gratz Brown, = Hoar. Stewart, Trumbull, Thurman, George M.

He was always a mas- ter of courtesy, elaborate in manner, but genuine in character, which some- times in debate became the most savage of weapons, Hispowersof sarcasm, al- ways great, gained a terrible force by the stately grace of mauner in which he met inquiry, repulsed attack or re- torted when sneers came. He was the faithful friend of Grant and led the great fights on the Santa Domingo and other questions against Mr. Sumner, He was gentle almost in his personal treatment of the Mussachusetts senator, but that forbearance he failed not to take out of the mental hides of the dem- ocratic senators who were “‘egging” on jhe quarrel. Mr. Conkling and Mr. Beck were notable opponents. So also Judge Thurman often crossed fo- rensic swords with the New York sen- ator. Butothe two gentlemen were wirin friends. There was nothing like the same cordiality between Senators Lamav, Bayard, Butler and some others on that side and Mr. Conkling. Indeed, stories were aflont of even doadly ani- mosity felt against him at that time by some now named. 1t must-be acknowl- edged that Mr, Conkling did not seem to have a large cirele of friends during hfs senatorial life. He certainly won his colleagues’ respect if not their affec- tions. But those who were drawn to himfelt the ties to be hooks of steel. Persoually in' politics Mr. Conkling always depended on his own resources. He never trafficked in patronage, and there are few recommendations of his on record at the capitol or the custom#® house. His easy supremacy was always disputed by some associates who desired the senate leadership—no longer a con- centrable personable ability. is divided among several. There was one 's debate which justified all the as to mental power of Mr. Conk- ling’s admiring friends. It was at the close of the session of 18 6, when army and other appropriations had failed of passing the democratic house. 1t will be recalled that the dispute was over the use of the military at southern polls. Mr. Beck, on reference com- mittee, came into the senate with a de- fiant veport to the republican majority there. It involved the evolving of a new line of policy by that majority, and that on the spur of the moment. There was some hesitation, when Mr. Conk- ling slowly rose. It wasnear midnight, but for two hours he held the senate spellbound. It diffeved widely from his usnal - ornate, elaborate, polished and intervolved oratory gleaming like bur- nished chain mail. It was cold, sharp, vigorous to a degree. His speech gleamed with short sentences. It was the mapping of an inchoate campaign. It was more—it was his marshaling of into close and serried a Conkling of that re- markable night is at with which he luter illustrated his newly made fo- rensie career. Mr. Evarts has left hi intervoluted speech at the bar: Conkling dropped something of like quality or method when he retired from the senate.. He has been at the bar more what IZvarts now is in the senate —in style and manner. 3 - ——— Had a bilious attack and one of thos indescribable cases of constant weari- ness.

E WINE ROOMS AS WRECKERS. They Are the Harvesters of Awful and Fearful Crimes. REV. SAVIDGE'S PLAIN TALK, He Points Out the Locations of the Sinks of Impurity and the Step- ping Stones of Everys thing Bad. A Minister’s Appeal. ““The wine room—the bane and disgrace of our city,” was discussed by Rev. Charles W. Savidge at the Seward street M. E. church last night. He took for his text Proverbs 23 20-80, “Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow! Who hath contentions! Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause! Who hath redness of oyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine?" The wine room is an adjunct to the saloon. The wine room prospers and thrives under the black wing of the dram shop, We are told it is the one institution of the devil that is absolutely untrammeled by the pretense of law. Accordingly it holds up its snake- like head in deflance of all law. The wine room holds out a perpetual welcome. When 12 o'clock at night comes the owner of the grogery or the officer of the law may close the saloon, but the door of the wine room is never closed, nor are the lights blown out. It is the half-way place between the saloon and the house of shame, and is worse than cither, It is worse than Sunday base ball and the beer garden combined. The wine room is the place where men and women moet each other for all kinds of wickodness. It is the school where a man can learn the A, B, O, us well as get his diploma in crime. 1t is the wrecker of soul and body. We have a number of theso places in_our city, but thero are threo that are especially noted. The first, and I may say worst, is on Twelfth and Douglas streets.” If you ask me why this is the worst, I reply because it i on one of the main thoroughfares of the city. The saloon under whose patronage and pro- tection this vile place lives has had no license for weeks just past, until very recently. The most shameless debauchery is carried on there both day and night. There is another noted wine room on North Sixteenth and an- other on South Thirteenth. ‘These places are well patronized. Men and women of all ages ave found there. When we get down to business in_fighting sin we will call the nawes of individuals instead of classes. The wine room is the place where depraved men take unsophisticated young women in order to work their ruin for two worlds. The abandoned woman lies in- wait for the young man from the country who has ccme in to grow up with the city, and having found him she lures him up to this sink of iniquity. In that one night the boy travels leagues to to hell. Poor, old gray-headed fools go there and drink whisky and come _away bankrupt in goodness and in money. Thegray head is a crown of glory only wien it is found in the way of righteousness, Men who are mar- riod to the best and purest wives spena hour after hour in this plague spot and then go home and tell a lie a mile long. Gamblers go to the wine room to take a drink in agrecable compuny and to_secure material for their business, The foot-pad finds thisa grand lace to spot his victim. When he goes out rom this place he walks in sight of the man who displayed the rollof money in the wine room and who is so heavily leaded with ink that his facilities are blunted. The L resuts of the wine room are many and rful, Here those who are just halting, not know- ing whether to choose the good or the bad are pushed off into the vortex of ruin. Surely no class are more in neod of our sym- pathy and protection than these Just men- tioned. .In this place, too, as we have al- ready intimated, the midnight assault and robbery is planned. And within the wine rooms souls are plundered of nl\ that is of value in any world. Even within the past few weeks, you have heard from this same room the erack of the myurderer's pistol. 1t it wero necessury, I could give you living6x- amples of these results I have mentioned. Let your imagination paint the picture as black it will and then you will not reach the reality. No shné man will deny that the wine room is the bane and disgrace of Omaha. Do you ask for the remedy? I answer, these ‘places will never die from want of atronage. But Iwould warn every young man and woman who is now or shall be a resi- dent of this city, to shun these places of de- struction. Let no deception be practiced on you to entice you th “Fternal vigilance is the price of goodness.” But mark this: It respectable citizens and honest officials really wish to rid the city of these pest Louses, they can do so. Nay more, if any one pulpit or daily payer will continueé to thunder away, great things will be accomplished. But lot. editor and preacher be silent and these sinks of iniquity will go on grinding out their grists of doomed spirits - for the lost world. More than one preacher in our midst has said that there are many things worse than Snnday base ball, and the wine room is undoubtedly oncof these “worse things.” But what preacher has saida_word on this subject? Now brethren, here is your chance, unlimber Surely wo can_ all agree on this evil. The press is the mighty engine of reform, but how many of our daily papers have written a line on this theme? Let every puipit and overy paper speal out and ~ something will eomo of it. Then let t{he mayor and his subordinate officers perform their sworn duty. The other morning at 3 o’clock a man went into that all night saloon on the corner of Twelfth and Douglas and took a glass of beer. A policeman was on each sido of him gulping down something in a_gla have a rest on this sort of a thin sake let the mayor and the licensc board up these sinks of iniquity. In that thing was done, why not here( it that the blood of some precious life washed up from the floor of the wine and that place be opened only to have the tragedy repeated? What is that flimsy ex- cuse we hear that the wine room is controlled by no law¢ Tell that stuff to idiots, not to thoughtful men, The wine room being a part of the saloon should be closed when the saloon is closed, And when that wine room comes the hot bed of crime the saloon to which 1t is attachea has forfeited its license and the same should be revoked, Thought- ful citizens and honest men will hold the mayor and license board responsible for the wine room and its awful harvest of crime, — Laundrying of lace curtains a special- ty at City Steam Laundry, cor. 1lthand Farnam sts. room Keep the Blood Pure We beliéve Hood's Sarsaparilla is the very best medicine to tuke to keep the blood pure and t0 expel the germs of scrofula, salt rheum, and | othor polsofis which cause s0’ much sufering, | and soouer or later undermine the genoral health.
