Sewanp, Neb,, March 22.—[Special to Tre Bee.]—For some time past the telegraph operator at the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis- souri Valley railroad depot has boen paying attention to a young “grass” widow named Green, Everything was moving along smoothly and rumors ware rife as to their appronching marriage. Proparations were in progress for the expectod ovent. The lone widow only last week secured a divorce from her absent husband, Martin L. Green, in contemplation, it is said, ot the coming day. But Inte last_evenmg there appeared upon the scene a woman and five small children sooking an absent husband and father. They wended their way to the domicil of Mrs. Groen and made known the fact that the ghy young man was none other than ~ the ome who was the object of their scarch, and assorted their relationship. The woman who last ap- peared had been drinking to cxcess, and after making known her errand began at ouce fusilade upon the windows and furni- ture and proceedod to break up houselkeep- ing, and made an assault upon the bhair of Mrs. Green, for which sho was arrested this morning and lodged in_jml. Owing to her continucd debauch, she was unable o appear in court for trial. One of her sons, whg ac- companied her, states that Mulligan is his fathier, and that his name is nct Mulligan but Smith, and that they are from Council Bluffs. As a sequel to the above, Mrs. Smith t- tempted to firoghe jail at noon to-day by thrusting a broom into the stove aud apply- ang it 1o the bed. An ularm of fire was given and but little damage was done, the firo be- ing quickly extinguished. Mrs. Smith was removod to s empty iron cage and locked up. It Was a Suicide. Avnioy, Neb., March 22.—[Special to T Bee.]—The faneral of Dr. George E. Brown took place atalate hour yesterday. There have been no developments of any kind in regard to the cause of his death. At one time he stond very high as a physician. He practiced several years in York and Seward. He was_ married twice, and was divorced rom both of his wives. He always said that domestic trouble made him drink. On Sat- urday aiternoon, March 16, he got an_ounce and a half of chloroform at Lidell's drag store, and went to_his room and took nearly the entire dose, then built a hot fire and Jocked up his room. When found about § ©0'clock he was lying on his face on the bed dead. Medical skill was summoned in five minutes aftor he was found and a thorough test was made, but no signs of life could be found. He was born at Lansing, Mich., and raduated at the ege of Cincinnati X years old, and_leaves one child, a littie_girl, Who is now with his sister at Lansing, Mich! He left no property. Advices from York state that Mrs, Quig- ley, mother of Mrs. Brown, a former wife of the doctor, says that several times while her daughter was living with _him he attempted to end his existence. He had been fora time trying to induce his divorced wife to re- marry, had sont numborloss fottors aud tele- grams, but all to no purpose, and despond- ency over his ill success, Mrs. Quigley as- cribes as the cause of his last action. Must Be Tried Again. O'NeiLy, Neb., March 22.—[Special to THE Bee.|—In July, 1887, a dance was held near tho southeast corner of the county, which onded in a bloody fight in which two men and one boy were seriously injured. The boy,s Joseph. Shmidt, fifteen years of age, was stabbed in the lungs, receiving a wound about three inches long and deep enough to penetrate the lungs. The case of the State of Nebraska vs John Vandersnick, charged with stabbing the boy Shmidt, ended yes- terday in a disagreement of the jury. The fight occurred late at night, by moonlight, and there was no witnesses near enough to see what transpired except such as took part in the fight. May Shmide, a8 young lady sis- ter to Joseph, in attempting to shield her ‘brother, was also cut on the wrist. Her evi- dence against tho defendant was quite con- vincing of his guilt, but she coula not say that she saw him stab her brother. The gen- eral feeling is that two of the Shmidts and two of the Vandersmicks ought to be sent together over the road. The case will have 10 be tried again. Death From Hydrophobia.

Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil company, to Charles A, Strong, son of Rev. Dr. Svrong, of Rochester, N. Y., took place this evening at the residence of the bride's parents. —— weet Hom “There is no place like home,” runs the old song, and we know how true itis. The umpressions made in the home are lasting. A mother’s words never pass from the mind. A father’s counsel remains fresh so long as life lasts, The last henediction of pavental love and solicitude—with what tenacity it ciings to the memory when almost all else has gone. How important, thereforc, that the home be maintained intact as long as possible—a haven of loving counsel,’ of peace and joy to the growing children. ITow sad when death invades, when the fire goes out on the hearthstove and the ‘What the children Lose by the death of a parent only those realize who have grown up without that love and advice which a paventonly can bestow. There are tens of thousands of pavents to-day in agony of mind through fear ot death from kidney disense, who do nof know they are doctoring only symptoms —such as wakefulness, nervousness, a spleadid focling one day and an all- gone one another, dropsy, weak heart uction, pneumonia, neuralgia, fickle unpetite, ete., while the real trouble is poisoned blood caused by diseused kid- neys. Unless Furifle‘i by Waraer’s Safe Cure they will justas surely die, as thougzh poisoned with arsenie. Doctors publicly admit that they can- not cure advanced kidney disease; they ave 100 bigoted to use Warner's Safe Cure because it 1s an advertised rem- edy; cousequently, unless you use your own gogd judgment, secure and use Warner’s Sife Cure,a specific, which has proved itself in tensof thousauds of cases to be all it is represented, your howme, through your death, will be broken up,and your loved ones doprived of that which money cannot purchase or frionds supply, IT WAS A TREAT. The "Mgmln{m of Norway" Proves Her Right to the Title. Mademoiselle Anna Smith, assisted by local musical tatent, entertained an audience of over one thousand porsons at Washington hall last night. ‘That Mademoiselle Smith is an artiste of extraordinary merit is beyond dis- pute. Her voice, in purity of tone, flexibility and training, is a8 to entitle her to the title of prima donna, takon in its highest significance. In quality of tone and cultivatioh thero is but little lacking in her magnificent soprano to make her second to Pattinlone. Last night she several times took high F and held it, until the note reverbeated through the room, thrilling the audionce. In her trills, runs and staccatos, sho especially evidenced the marvellous power of the voice. In her first she had an oxcollent opportunity to display her power, and she accepted the opportunity. The selection was ' difficult one, atranged not 8o much for melody ns to permit of an exhibition of the flexivility of the voice. In rendering it the singer's powers were taxet 10 the utmost, but she was equal to tho emer- goncy. Asan encore to this selection she sang “Tho Nightingale,” which gave her even a better opportunity to display the flex- ible power of her yoice. Her second number upon the programme was “Du_Rossignol,” by Massi, which abounded in staccatos and trills. As an en- ©core to this sho sang with great sweetness 8 Swedish song entitled, “At Fourteen Yoars,” which was received with thunder- ous applause. Hor last number was a polo- naise from “Migaon.” In all her selections Malle. Smith was given tho greatest oppor- tunity to display her talent, ahd in _all she acquitted herself excellently well. The andience was composed of veople of all classes; people cultured in music and others not so fortunate, but as the mostuncouth rustic can enjoy the melody of birds, 80 could everyone at Washington hall last night enjoy the marvelous sweetness of this **Nor- wegian Nightingale." As for the other numbers of the programme, the Danish Singing society sang @ Nor- woglan air very acceptably, the concert being vory boftingly opened by this num- bor. Mr. John Kinzie and Mr. E. D. Arnold sang “Tho Moon Has Raised Her Lamp,” by Benedic, so well as to merit tho applause thay received. A ,cavatina, by Raff, was pleasingly rendered on the violin by Mr. A. E. Merris, Mr. Jules Lombard sang Ricci's “Pirato King"’ splendidly,receiv- ing au encore, to which he responded with “I Fear No Foein Shining Armor." Mr. Lombard hus a pure bass of excellent quality and well trained. His encoro sclec- tion was particularly well sung, the old song being nono the less enjoyed by the audience on.nccount of its antiquity. Mr. Jules Fest- ner played a pretty little melody entitled “Dream Pictures” with great expres- sion upon the guitar. He re- colved an encore and responded with s cradle song and “Swanee River.’ Madame Massy Howard sang a serenade from Brega very well. She was followed by Licutenant John Kinzie 1 a tenor solo by Flotow, entitled *Likea Dream.” In re- sponse to an encore, Mr. Kinziesang a Scotch bullad. There will be another conceet given this evoning, the participants bemg the same as last night. : STABBED BY ; THUG. The Unpleasant Experience of a Night Hotel Clerk.

As early as the starting hour last night a duplicate of the previous eovening's grand crowd was onhand and eager to see the fair bykers sent off on the fifth day's session ot their great wheel chase. Their impatience was speadily dispolled by the appearance of the dauntless riders on the mark, aad at the customary signal away they went spinning upon their dizzy pilgrim- age, nll save poor Amaindo, who was too much indisposed to start. Of course Beauty Baldwin reccived her usual bunch of roses at tho very boginning, and acknowledged the token by turning off a 1ap or two at her briskest pace. If the little lady was in the load the ovation that would be tendered her wonld lift the roof. But there is no wuse of thoughts in this direction, for Miss Williams s one of the most phenomenal female riders in the world. Nothing seems capablo of checking her vim and flow of spirits, and she dashed off at her characteristic whirl- wind gait and traversed fourteen miles in the first hour. Miss Oakes, by the way, is at last riding in_splendid form, and for once the upeod% mahan was unable to leave her. The effort, however, brought a flush to her *checks, She chased the doughty local . representative round and round the track, and held up to her fairly well for the first hour. Early in the evening she, too, was the recipient of a lovely bougquet, Misses Woods, T.ewis and Brown, despite the fact that their powers of endurance have been wofully taxed for the past few evon- ings, rode with all the vim and determina- tion of the inaugural night. Their grit seems exhaustiess and irrepressible, and the greatest rogret of the spectators is that all can not win. The interest the people of Omaha are manifesting in this spirited contest is some- thing fairly incredible, Thé attendanc embracine all classes of people, from the elite to the plebeian, his been simply tre- mendous. Nothing of the kind was ever witnessed here before, and it will probably be many a long day ere these scenes are re- peated. Men yell themselves hoarse, while the ladies clap their hands and wave their kerchiefs, and not infrequently add their sweet voices to all the resounding din. Last night so mumerous, and so mammoth in dimensions, were the floral offerings from the admiring spectators, thay for a while it looked as if the building was to be meta- morphosed into a full-blown conservatory. The reporters’ table at one time was a very mass of odor-breathing blossoms. Most of the ladies, too, have received tender mis- sives from smitten lambs of the masculine gonder, and Miss Woods was actually pre- sented with rn exquisite gold watch with diamond studdings. Consult the dudes of tender years, That cluster in & pack, The grandpapa who feebly leers At the fairics on the track, And they will say no earthly sights ‘Compare with winsome maids in tights, ‘That the graceful wheelers are gradually showing si of ress there is but little douot. Thu not to be wondered at as the task they have had on hand has been a most arduous one. At the expiration of the first hour there was more than one pair of checks that glowed and burned ‘with an unnatural- ness, which quickly changed to pallidness Miss Woods was finally compelied to dis- mount, and as she was really painfully ill, the only wonder was that she didn't re- maimn off altogether. The words ‘“give up,” however, were left out of her bright lexicon, and after a ten mimutes’ breathing spell she was back again and rushing around the track like the littlo thoroughbred she is. The one serious drawback at the Coliseum is that the thousands of cigars, both jm- ported and vile, vhat are vigorously pulled at by thoughtless men, soon fill even this vast structure with smoke, making it both hard upon the lady riders, and the tender portion of the audience. Thé management, however, religiously prohibit any indulgence in the weed among the reserve seats, about the only place the stifling fog is escaped. Here- after an effort will be made to suppress the practice throughout the entire building. At fifteen minutes after 9 Miss Oakes re- ceived her fourth magnificent boquet. She bowed her pretty head, smiled sweetly, and speeding to the front led the race for a lap or two amidst the vociforous plaudits of the multitude. Miss Williams reeled off her two hunareth mile at 9 n just 13 hours, 49 minutes and 15 seconds, and as the people cheered she flashed ahead like a meteor, and in spite of Woods’ strennous efforts. to prevent her, she neyer slackened her pace until she added another 1ap to her surplus, “Little Baldwin—That's what everybody calls her—took it in her protty head, about this time, to do a little riding on ber own account. Bending jauntily over her wheel she gave such an exhition of swift ana graceful rding a8 no other lady in the race is capable of. And she kept it up until it carried ber within four laps of Miss Woods, and in close proxim- ity to third place. Fifteen minutes later Miss Woods left the track a second time, and Baldwin wheeled ahead of her. Armaindo could not withstand the ex- citement of the merry whirl, and at fiiteen minutes of 10she emerged from the dress- ing room, mounted her machine and jeined the circling procession, cutting out B pace that recalled her palmigst days. After surveying the enormous audience for a few moments last night—and there were certainly 6,500 people in the building— Manager Eck remarked to Tae Bee reporter thut this is without doubt the greatest bicycle race that was ever held in this or any other country. To-night the admission, as 18 the custom on Saturday nights, will be 50 cents. Miss Woods was taken violently sick at 10 o'clock, and was taken home in a carriage. ‘This was greatly regretted by everybody, as she had made a most heroic race under the most trying circumstauces. The final tilt between Miss Williums and Beauty Baldwin was one of the most thrill- ing ana exciting scenes of the week's racing. And notwithstanding all of Williams’ vaunted powers she couldn’t gain at all upon the popular little New Yorker. ‘Ihe score now stands: Willlams. Lewis. Baldwin,, Woods. Oakes. Brown. Armainds Miles.
