WILES GF LICATED STREETS ‘Will Iluminate Omaha During Car- nival Week. ST. LOUIS AS AN EXEMPLAR. Two and a-Aalf Miles of Her Veollea- Prophet System of Muminated Globes to be Brected in This Olty, Tiluminated Globes. Joseph Giarneau has just returned from a Arip tothe south. He learned on his arrival that he had boen placed ay the head of tho coramittoe on out-door entertainments of the Morchants' Week assoctation “Tho appointment was mado while away,” he said, “nevertheloss I shall do in my power to make the work of the mitteo most successful and satisfactory.” ““What plan have you ouulinod for A series of entertainments “Well, I huve not as yet determined upon & plan because I have not had ume.

Gibbon, who was prosent, said that Mr. Garaeav, several otners and’ him- 8elf two yoars ago had gono around and in a few hours had obtained twice the amount in subscriptions for the soldiers’ reunion, a gathering which didw’t benetit the tows a particle, ‘“How mud® of tho city could you illu- mjper” ~About two miles and a half.” “What streots?” “Farnam, Douglas, part of Fifteenth and Sixteenth stfeets. Wo could get four archos for Tenth and Farnam, Sixtcenth and Far- nam, Fifteenth and Douglas, and Thirteenth and Douglas. The gas company in St. Louis furnishod tho gas for nothing, and would likely do the same thiog here. If it only cuts the price in two, that would be suffi- cient.” Mr. Garneau was directed to Tur Ber's suggestions as to how an awraction for every day and night of the fair couid be gotten up, and said that such attractions with a cortain amount of interest by energetic young folks and busincss men could be gotten up. They would be com- paratively inexpensive, and would inure to the beneflt of the city, because larger crowds than dvor would be utfracted to Omaha. They would bo kept down town part of the time, They could then go to the coliseum exposition, then to the fair grounds, und still find sufficient in the night attractions to keep them in town over nicht.

PR BOULEVARDS, They Are Being Considered by the Park Commissioners. Dr. Miller, president of the board of pa rk commissioners, and Mr. Cleveland, the land- scape gardener, yesterday morning took a drive ubout the city, studying different courses for boulevards, They experienced consideraole dificulty in selecting a suitablé route for the proposed driveway from Hans- com park to Florence, and, 10 the opinion of the doctor, it will tako some time to work out such a route. What they considered to be u good course for tie southern drive was selected, beginning at Grifin’s crove, run- niug through Syndicate ana Hanscom parks and the county grounds. ‘The West park also visited. y in tho selection of pi S |) urned to the city yesterduy morning, and in the afternoon” the board considerid the plans for Jefferson square, Use only Rock Jsland Soap. BOYD FOR MAYOR. He Will Accept, Conditionally, tho Democratic Nomination. Much speculation has been wdulged i re- garding the democratic nominee for mayor. Two names have beeu mentioned in this con- nection, namely, Hon, James E. Boyd and Charles Goodrich, the present city comp- trollor. Many of the democrats, who have taken a conservative stand, favor the nomi- nation of Goodrich, for tho reason, they clalm, that it would have a tendency to harmonize the party. They also claim that he is the strongest man in the ranks, not ex- cepting Mr. Boyd. it was loarncd that Mr. Boyd, in_response to @ question propounded by DF. George L. Miller, “Will you accept the nomination!" said: T havé not made up my mind yor, and will not wake any definite answer until Sep- tember; but if it comes down to a question of i republican mayor or James . Boyd, [ will take up the fight."! The democratic _interpretation of Mr. Boyd's romarks is that he will accept the nominution. AF ALE IMPOSTER. The Hypocrisy Which Rachael Sny- der Has Practiced.

Tne Bee's informant declares that the lia- bilities over and above the assots will ot be less than $40,000 and they may roach #60,000. Morgan's fricnds are tryiig to make it appear that the bank is in good condition and that tho young man had left property enough to settle all his debts. But ths, it is claimed, is absurd. Iu their estimate 0f assets they counted an overdraft of §18,000 and failed to include lia- bilities outside of those duo depositors, 1t is understood that Ifrank Johuson has changed his mind about assuming the bank’s obligations and paying its debt.

There were probably a thousand persons —some estimated the crowd at twice that number—present at the laying of the corner stone of the First Methodist chureh, last night. The threatening clouds of the after- noon had cleared away and cool breczes fanned the brows of the multitude on the sloping side of the High school ground, in carriages and on the hastily constructed platform over the church basement. On this platform, well toward the front, was placed an organ and a choir was grouped around. Rows of chairs led back from the organ, and on them were the clergy of the city and visiting notables. Among the Iatter were Bishop Newman, Presiding Elder W. T, Smith, of the Council Bluffs district; Presiding Elder P. E. Hodgetts, of the Klk- horn district; Rev. ranklin, of the Ttirst Church, of Council Bluffs; Dr. J.B. Max- field, presidin elder of the Norfolk district: und the venerable T B. Lemon, “Father of Nebraska's Methodism,” and loved and re- vered everywhere, though not now actively engaged in the pulpit ministry, The following prouramme of the exercises was then rendered: Hymn—*'Rock of Ages”..

His address was ro- peatealy interrupted by applause from the brethren ou the chairs before him, “This is a memorable duy for Methodism in Omaha," he began. *'[tis the realization of years of hopos and prayers.”” A tribute to John Wesloy was the natural fororuuner of un impassioned eulogy of the church, her wius, her hopss and the good she has done. "Tha mission of Methodism was to revive a vitlated, weakenad obristianity, and how graudly that mission has been fuifilled none can tell botter than did the bishop, In chureh work as in other lines, this is the age of progress, Never before did the people Kive 50 lavisuly as now; never so much need of generous giving.

A portion of the now structure will'te finished by October of this year, and from that time forward the congregation will worship shere until the completion of the whole, which will be on the 1st of June, 1800, A very pretty thing was done after the corner stone ceremonies, so quietly, in fact, that not a tithe of those presont observed the action. The corner stone had been swung into piace, and Rey. Dr. Lemon's final prayer was just concluded, when Rev. T. M. House, as master of ceremonies, handed to Bishop Newman a beautiful trowel, romarking that it was a littie token from his friends then present. **Thank God 1 am a Master Mason," quickly replied the Bishop in taking the trowel, The basoment of the building, which is almost ontirely above ground, is already completed, and is built of handsome red saudstone, The remainder of the building will be constructed with Chicago Roman pressed orick.

WESTERYN UNION INJUNCTION, Attorney General Miller Will Take the Matter Up. Attorney General Miller has notified the Union Pacific and the Western Union com- panies that, in his opinion, the United States is a party to the injunction proceedings brought at the instigation of tho Western Union Tolegraph company, and that the case will be disposed of us s0on as he can give it his attention. This case grew out of the Union Pacific being enjoined by the Western Unton Tele- graph company 1rotn operating adistinet and independont system ‘of telegraph between Omaua and Denver and Kansas City and Cheyenne, a full secount of which was pub- lished in Tue Bre about six menths ago. The case was called before Judge Brewer, of the United States ewcuit court av Leaven- worth, Kan., and, upon suggestion by tho court, the litigants agreed to submit tho terms to the attormey-general.

Jacobsen, gives the following description of the marriage ceremonies of the Bilqua In- dians of British Columbia,says Science. An Indsan who intends to marry calls upon his intended wife’s parents and arranges with them how much he is to pay for permission to marry the girl. Among people of high descent this 1s done by messengers, sometimes as many as twonty boing sent to call on the girl's father. They are sent by the man's parents before the young man is of age. In many instances ‘both man and girl are not more than eight or nine years old. The messengers go in their bouts to the girl’s house, and carry on their negotintions without going ashore, where the relatives of the girl are standing. The messenger’s of the young man’s parents praise his excel- lence and noble descent; the great ex- ploits of his father, grandfather id ancestors; their wars, vietories and hunting expeditions; their lib- erality at fostivals, ete. Then the girl’s relatives praise the girl und her anceste otiations are »d on. Finally a number of blank- ets are thrown ashore by the messe 5 and the girl’s relatives protest a maintain that the number is not sufli- cient to puy for the permission to marry the girl. In order 0 obtain their cox- sent new blankets are thrown ashore one by one, the messengers continually mainfaining that the price paid is too great. Generally from twenty to fifty blankets, e of the value of about fifty cents, are paid. After this the boy and the girl are considered engaged,, When they come to be grown up the young man has to serve u year to his, father-in-law, He must fell trees, feteh water, fish and hunt for the latter. During this time he is called Kos, which means “one who woos.” After a year has clapsed the murrisge is celebrated. At this timo great festivals ard celebrated. Seven or cight men perform dance. Thoy wear dancing aprons and leggins, trimmed with putin-beaks, hoofs of deers, copper lates and bells, “1f' the groom should © a wealthy man \ho has presented to his wife many smalbcopper plates, such as are used as }) fgpents to u bride, these are car by the dancers. The .slnmu;:-mm,mv, who beats the drum, starts a song, in _which the dancers join. . The song used at the marriage festival is sung in unison while in all other dances each dancer has his own tune and song. The first dancer wears a ring made of cedar bark. His bair is strewn with eagle- down, which flies about when he moves and forms a cloud around his head. The groom presents the first dancer with a piece of calico, which the latter tears to pieces, which he throws down in front of each bhouse in the village, erying, “Hoip!” in order to drive awuy evil spirmts. These pieces of calico which he throws down in front of the houses have a lucky meaning and at the same time express the idea that the groom, when he comes to be a wealthy wan, will not forget the inhabitants 3% uny house when giving & festival, Th dancers swing their bodies and arms stamp their feet, and show the copper gluws to the lookers-on. Then the ride’s father brings & great number of blankets, generally double the number of thoso ‘im had received from the qmnm and gives them to his daughter. 'he bride orders a fow blankets to be spread before tho groom, Sha sits down and he puts his hand upon hor head, Then the groom is given for each of the parts of his body one or more blankets. Finally he is given a new blanket. After the bride's father has given o blanket to each dancer and to the drummer, the villagers ure in- vited to a great foast. At thistime groom and bride eat for the first time together. —— THEY CALLED THE BET A DRAW. A Southerner and a Westerner Diffe on the Gopher's Habirs A southern colonel and anorthwestern ranch owner formed part of a little knot of men who were enjoying thom- solves around atable in the Hoffman house cafe the other night, says the New York Tribune. The conversation turned on the resources of the now south, and the colonel said: Newin- dustries are springing up thero every day, I tell you, Tven the darkey boys and girls are learning to be industrious since they find it pays them. One of the latest wrinkles they have caught on to is the gathering of gopher eggs in Florida and the other gulf states, which sell readily and find their way into many palatable dishes in mnorthern restaurants. “*Come, now, colonel,” 1 the ranch owner, ‘‘draw it mild on us. Gopher eggs—oggs, you know. Ha! ha! That's good “T dou’t understand you, the colonel, rather nettied. You avi- dently take what L said for a joke.’ “*Well, that was natural, Tam sure, colonel,” was the reply. I would nc offend you for the world; but gophers oggs, you know—Ha! ha!

Scratohes His Back Artificially! Mr. Harrison has an articie of furni- ture of which he is very proud,and which is always to be found on his table in his library, says a Washington cor- spondent of the Cleveland Plaindealor, Itis one of those contrivances with a peculingly shaped handle used for seratching the back in places inaccessi- ble to the hand, He received it as a present from a young lady in Indianap- olis. | Mr. Harrison is very ject of back scratching. This is well | known in Indianapolis. He would fr | quently, while talking to a friend or a | client in his little office out there, in- terrupt the conversation by getting up and requesting the one with whom he was talking, to scratch his back. From this he got & great deal of enjoyment, as much, perhaps, as Sandy did while { going throngh the operation, which always brought forth from him the ad- juration: *God bless the Duke of Ar- eyll.” Mr. Harrison’s back scratcher has an ivory handle. Ho usesit when no mem- ber of his family or close friend is near to run his finger nails over just the spot that yearns for the sensation of titilla- tion. Otherwise he prefors to have the \tehing done by hand. 1f any gentloman who hankers greatly (m' an oftico will so far evercome his nu- idation as to boldly go up and ntly and soothingly on Mr. Hurrison’s back he may consider hime self as put on the pay roll, Went to His A Cincinnati Commer jer—'‘'You w day, Minton? go to my l “Groat Seott! wasterner. “I never weak on the sub- t's Funoral, Al Gazetto: Cash- vo not in the office yester- " Mi *No, I had to aunt’s funeral.” Cashier— “Well, the next time you go to your aunt’s funeral I wish you’d lot me know, for I'm a good cather, pitcher and bat: tor myself.
