OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU NDAY DECEMBER . 9, 1888, - SIXTEEN PAGES. HAYDEN BROTHERS OPENING. Five Great Floors Overflowing With Blegant Wares. Crowds ofs Omaha People Attend the Opening of the Greats est Store in Omaha —Hayden's, A queer little_telegram appeared in A'lE BE st Wednesday evening. It was addressed to Hayden Bros., d goods, Sixteenth street, und stated that Santa Claus would be in Omaha to at- 1 their opening Thursday evening. o'cloeic, and entertain the childr y. | ptly on time a3 rired to the store, eager as any of the children, to know w Santa Claus was goinr to put in his halt hose. Although on titae it seemed late, for everybody in Omaha appeared to be there or just o ing. The building, with its" five great floors lite swarmed with men, dren,all enjoying the & ery one of L{m scores of departments were beautifully arranged and decorated and the ladies and gentlemen in charge gave their visitors & most hearty we come. Finding eve other avenue closed by the great stream of human beings THE BEE man had recourse to the freight elevator to reach the third floor, where the Old Man of the North was holding high carnival with the child When the door opened upon this department the scene was an animated onc. Crowds of people thronged the aisles between the piles of toys and beautiful gifts, swarms of happy children floated here and there, wild with delight when the tinkling bells announced the approach of Santa Claus. This floor is 70x110 feet and is devoted entirely to the di play of holiday goods. The variety is simply astonishing, and as to quantity the tables and counters and underneath counters, the walls and even the ngs ave pilgd, covered and hung over with goods in this line. Theirline of toys is the most complete cver opened in the city and embrices ever, thing made in the line. There A B Cand picture blocks, child kitchen sets, miniature kitchens and stoves. There are children’s chairs and sleas and wagons. Iverything a child could want. The doll department i the little girl’s paradise. The stoclk is gimply immense and still there is more to follow. No matter what you want in the doll line you can find it there. Another part of the floor i choice perfume, cosmet ticles. Just across from these goods we find a beautiful line of children’s gift books. With these may be fonnd a full line of the latest popular novels at as- tonishing prices. The elegant line of plush goods upon this floor excited marked attention both in regard to the magnitude of the display and the ex- cellent variety. Theso goods are strictly first olass and embrace some of the most unique and beautiful designs ever opened in the west. The showing of albums was most creditable, nothing old or out of date in the entire exhibit. In the northwest corner of this holi- day paradise was an __ exquisite display of Christmas and New Years cards. This part of the exhibit must be seen to be appreciated. No matter what you want it is there. But no des- cription, however vividly portrayed, can do justice to this wonderland, in- spection alone can reveul its real mer- its and immensity. Mr. O. J. Isencee, assisted by a number of obliging young ladies, are the genii who preside over this department, and the neat and taste- ful arrangement of everything upon this floor are ample proof of their effi- ciency. 1t is safe to say that not only the beautiful display of holiday goods, but the entire establishment, was a great surprise to the thousands who at- tended the opening and who had not “dreamed of the magnitude of this great #tore. Descending to the floor below a hat department is found, under the management of Mr. A. H. Davis; a complete clothing department, con- ducted by the genial Max Hambergers a cloak depurtment, under the direction of Mr. J. C. Mil- ler, and a millinery department under the experienced management of Miss Sadie Hayden. Every one of these departments is' complete in it- self, and is enjoying a splendid patron- age. Once more on board the hand- some passenger elevator the descent is made the first floor, which is the dry goods department. Here one finds a floor which in quality and quantity of goods, artistic arrangements and rices, is not surpassed in the west, he flannel blanket, linen and domes- tic department is at present in charge of Mr. Harry Honefins, who is a pro- fessional trimmer, and to whose good taste and hard work is due in no small measure the elegant appearance of the departments on this floor. The ladies’ furnishing goods, glove and hosiery de- partment 1s cared for by Mr. G. me- son and his young lady aids, and would space allow much could justly be said of the beautiful display made in this department. The gent's furnishing K{M(]H are the special care of Mr, r. S. A, Samishs who knows just what you need and makes the prices right. The dress goods departmont isin chargo of Mr. Johnson, a man of large exper- jence in his line,’and whose suggestions are a greataid to his customers, Mr, Mathews presides over the silks and black goods counter. The laces and embroidery are in charge of Mr. A, Roos, whose ability is only equalled by his gentlemanly bearing. Miss Tobitt is the eflicient lady in chavge of the rib- bon department. Justopposite the front entrance is a well stocked jewelry de- rtment, which is in charge of Mr. Ed ngdon, whose low prices on his ele- ant stock are an eye opener to his cus- mers. And yet there is one more; a well stocked shoe departmenton this floor, which is under the munugement of Mr, H, L. Bromn. Mr, H, C. Madi- son is floor walker and Miss M. Jessie Hayden cashier for the floor. Descend- ing to the basement, another surprise awaits us. The candy counter is pre- sided over by Miss I'isher. There is more crockery and dishware in sight than can be found in any one establish ment west of Chicago. pon the coun- ters, under the counters, against the walls, everywhere are piles and stocks of crockery, dinner sets, chamber sets, glassware, lamps, woodenware, tinware, everything in the house furnishing line, and still there were vast crates unpacked, There is also a well supplied and well patronized grocery depart- ment in the basement, ‘The prices in this department are the talk of tho town, hen it is remembered that this house first opened its doors about eighteen monilis 840, you will be pro- pared to realize the phénomepal suc- cess which has attended their eqorts: There was no boastful advertisements, They use printers’ ink liberally, but ouly to Taou prices, But they have been tireless in their efforts to pleaso their customers, and to this end they on bought for them to select vrom 8 stock which in volume, qualit, and variety has no equal in the west, d in selecting help thoy have chosen ies and Jonflomn whose efficiency 4n their particular lines and courteous | bearing their customers entitle them to the responsible positions they were called to fill.

Their *successful opening bids fair to be the forerunner of an immense holi- day trade. For the vetter our citizens get juainted with Hayden Bros. the better they will like them.

LEDHOLM & AKIN. i gt Vigorous Love Making. An 0dd story of a rejected lover’s re- venge was revealed at Newark, N. J., says the Philadelphia Record, in Jus- tice Otto’s court the other afternoon, when Henry Soost, of No. 20 Atlantic street, was arraigned on a charge of having thrown a woman into the street and fofeing her to walk barefooted and lightly clad through the city all night because she refused to marry him, Soost is employed as fireman by the Cit- izens' Gaslicht company. Some yeurs ago he had been similarly employed by the Hamburg Steamship company, ply- ing between New York and Hamburg, Germany. Ho is a murried man, and last summer took his wife back to ner people in the Fatherland and then de- serted her. In Hamburg he became acquainted with a young widow named Antonie Holthaus to whom he repre- sented himself as a single man, and under a promise of marriage induced her to uucom{)uny him batk to America. He brought her to New York and in- stalled her in his house as housckeeper, ana arrangements had almost been completed for their marriage, when an accident betrayed his duplicity, While passing through Hoboken together two weeks ago they were accosted by one of Mrs. Soost’s former friends, who in- quired of her husband concerning her health. The fireman was nonplussed, and attempted to explain the situation to the widow by saying that, although he had been married, he had been di- vorced ard was a free man. E@Mrs. Holthaus, not satisfied with the explanation, investigated the matter further, and satisfied herself that Soost was indeed married and that he had im- posed upon her. She realized this when too late. On Thursday night when sho returned to the house in Atlantic street, she col- lected her clothing and informed her lover that she proposed to leave him at once. Soost begged her and then bul- lied her to keep her promise to marry him at once, but th e finally refused to do. Finding threats and entreaties alike useless, Soost tore her outer gar- ments from her person, deprived her of hor shoes and stockings and forcibly thrust her into the street. The woman wandered aboutaimlessly for a time. The little clothing that she wore was saturated with rain from the prevailing storm, and at a later hour she made her way to the residence of Mrs. Rosa Doerr, where she was afforded perma nent shelter. Accompanied by Mr Doerr the young widow appeared before Justice Otto yesterday and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Soost. The latter was arrested to-day after a_des- perate struggle with Constable Bene- dict and was sent to jail to await trial. He acknowledged the charges made against him and confessed that of the 14,000 marks which he had deposited in the National bank the greater portion belonged to Mrs. Holthaus. e~ Mayden Bros.

During the summer I saw a good deal Arthur, for I felt dvawn toward her, and in sympathy with 1 SOITO WS in having given up her lover for a moth- er’s sake. Time passed, and then there came a time when the one she had given up her youth for, faded away and died. It seemed for a time that the moving spring of the younger life had lost its elasticity with the same blow that had snapped the frailer one; for N fell' into u state of apathy which was s unnatural,and lasted solong,her friends rmed. aid unlessshe could bo roused she would die, just from lack of desire to live. So I wrote home and received mamma’s permission to bring her home with me. Under the influence of our love and sympathy our guest revived and grew more like herself. Weeks lengthened into months, until spring was near; but we would not let Miss Mary go home, for I had the promise of making one of a party who were to go abroad_ under the charge of a learncd rofessor, whose knowledge of the different localities we were to visit would make our trip more like educa- tion than simple pleasure. So mamma had made up her mind to spare me on account of tie benefit to my mind; but she meant to keep Miss Mary, whose zood qualities had completely won the Tove of the whole family. The professor had been a classmate of papa’s at college, but I had not heard his name mentioned, as_he was always alluded to by his scholarly sobriquet. Prone as I am to build *‘castles in the air” about strangers, I had not wasted one golden fancy upon him. Of course such a prodigy of antiquarian learning was a dried-up anatomy of a man like old Prof. Worth of my school days mis- eries.

It was the first bit of white that had relieved her sombre drapery since her mother’s death. As we went to-gether into the draw- ing-room, papa said, pleasantly: “Here come the laggards.
