Never, since the rebuilding of Chicago, has any city of the west possessed such inherent advantages in building as does this city. The Eiseman block is sur- passed by few of its kind in the United States, [ts interior arrangement, finishings and embellishments are exceedingly fine, while the beauty of its architectural design is not surpassed anywhere, There are larger structures but none better, ‘This modern novel structure has produced such a wonder- ful change in our Broadway appearance, towering high above all others as it does, that we feel our city looks quite metropoli- tan. Its courteous proprietors have leaped from the ranks of their competitors and tuken their proper place with those whose lives are intensely active, whose methods psmopolitan and who set the pace for Goldberg was on_ trial before Judge Macy yesterday, the jury having been excused until Monday morming.

The Odd Fellows’ band of Omaha came over and es- corted the visitors to their city. If any of the ladies have not received an invitation to the Kiseman opening it is be- cause of failure to obtain the add before the supply of printed invitations was ex- hausted. The building will hold 5,000 peo- ple at one time, and all are welcome. A reception will begiven at the new rooms of the Young Men's Christian association, in the Merriam block, on Tues vening, September 24, at 7:30 o’clock. The ladies ot the W. C. T U. will serve refreshments in their rooms. A cordial invitation is extended 1o the pulic. ‘The fire bugs are still in the city, as was evidenced by theirattempt to tire a building ust east of the Broadway M. E. church. A undle of hay saturated with oil was found next to the building, and the boards were charred, but the fire waus put out before it obtained a foothold. Several of the enterprising and kind- hearted merchants of the city bave fitted out Jimmie Davis, the crippled boy hero, ‘Wwith clothing, underwear, ete., and to-mor- row morning he leaves for bor, to enter colleze. His career will be watched with interest by the citizens of Council Bluffs. A large party of Omanans picnicked Fairmount park yesterday afternoon. A special train of three cars brought a number of tho party, but it would not accommodate them all, and the others came on the regular trains. There were about one hundred and fifty ip attendunce, and a most enjoyable time Was had. The rain compelled them to return home earlier than was intended. Tho German Catholic ladies are few in numbers but strong n good works. ‘They are working most zealously to make their ba- zaar the coming week agrand success, The efforts being laudablo und their entertain- ments excellent, the public should e them a liberal patronage. 'he Masonic Temple hall should be crowded every evening of the bazaar. It opens to-morrow evening with a grand concert, The men who were arrested here in con- nection with the Mint shooting a few days ago, and taken to Nevada, bave been identi- fied as persons who were there the day pre- vious to the robbery of the jewelry store in that place a short time ago. "The authorities here were requested to send witnesses most conversant with the facts developed after the arrest in this city, and accordingly three men started for Nevada Faiday evening. The window display at Kiseman's new store attracted agreat'deal of attention last evening, Jsoth of the immense windows on the lower floor were very artistically draped and trimmed by the veteran dry gocds dra- per, Phil Aarous, to whom the greatest credit is due. The west wintiow is devoted 10 dress goods, and the east window to ln- ens. Eitner of the windows is a marvel, and it is safe to say that they wil be admired by thousunds during the coming week, ‘The Avoca grand jury, for the east end of the county, is investizating two seduction cases this term One of them, 1t is said, has been settled by the payment of $1,800 to the prosecuting witness. The general feeling of the neighbors and those acquainted with the fdcts, however, is with the defendant. It is alleged to be a case of blackmail, but the story told by the prosecuting witness was so straight that the defendant preferred to set- tle than to go to the penitentiary, as he ab- | solutely refused to marry the girl.

But this is only the eatrance. The reporter for Tue Bee was allowed a at the gres treat which jou—the nterior display, No ains have becn spared to make this u sight worth secing, and all, from the little tattler to the gray-haired, will go mto ecstucy when they meet their favcy in the toy department or see a famous Regatta silk, Luxor or Satin de Flore ia_all the handsome combinations and shades of Mordore, Sasa- fras, Vieuxrouge, Bronzedore, Veronese, (a beautiful compromise bétween terra cotta and crushed strawberry), Verte, a paculiar green, or Florida, the queen of shades, in compiny with the delicate tints in velvet and plushes, both novelty stripes and plaids, marvelous to behold. Across the aisle is the 100 feet of fixtures, loaded with importations of aress geods in all the latest colorings, both plain and fancy, representing the mediam as well as the richest vroductions of foreign lands. Stepping on down this broud aisle, pausing - only a moment to view the fine array of Scotland’s spotless and checkered dumasks and doylies, inter- spersed with Germony’s boastful reds which arc neighboring with the nameless varieties of muslins, flannels and zloths, letting only their friends, the high-colored prints, out- shine them on the voposite side, and you tind yourself surrounded by a monster stock of ladies’ and gents’ hand and machiue sewed kangaroos, I'rench kid and Dongola shoes, while suspended from racks hang the more attractive pumps and fancy evening slippers. ‘Ihe east wisle has been given over to the men’s and boys' portion, the tables and shelving being wovered to their utmost with everything from a four-in-hund, a working- man’s jumper, a little one's jersey or kilt 1o a groom’s precise fitting black. Pussing hur- riedly on to the west portion of the main floor, not anticipating justice to the numbver- less notions, you find ‘brocaded velvet and satin combination ribbons, the great Lari exposition button, (Huntenawveauti), escu- rial point lace, (timpare-Persian trimmings in delicate tints and high colored hosiery, from infants to adults in the purest siik used, when suddenly you are atiracted as a bee from its hive by the sweet perfumes from New Mown Hay and pleasant scented soaps. Lauding on the second floor by mqans of the latest improved elevator, you find your- self confronted by a vicious looking African leopard, representing the fur industry of this country. Tripping along noiselessly over brussels, hero and there passing an outstretched cat or wolf robe, you find you are lost (as it were) among the innumerable racks of comfortable English walking jackets, princess, or the more stylish paletat, bowing here and there to a graceful form at- tired in a lovely tea gown or delicate robe de chambra, Silk chineel portieres hang in festoons separating the Mackinaw and California blankets or acceptable eiderdown comforts from the glass cases of plush and sealskin wraps, the $1,000 bridal vel, etc., and thus we are 1ssued to a third story, the children’s department, where Noah and bis ark and every describable fowl and animal are float- g in peace among the perfect sea of im- ported toys, “The fourth story being used for reserve stock, little remains to be said of it. It would be only justice to give a taore minute and nteresting description of this beautiful dry goods palace to which yourself and friends are cordially invited and attend the grand formal opening on Monday and Tuesday eveuings, Septem- ber 23 and 24, Aside from the building itself, which stands without a peer in_the west, a palace of steel and plate glass, a trip from Omal and any of the neighboring cities will e well repaid by an evening spentin examining the splendid exposition of goods from every land and clime under the sun, No descrip- tion of the building can do it justice. It is a palace of products that every mart in the world bas been called upon to surrender for the pleasure and profit of the people of Council Bluffs and Omaha. Eiseman’s annual openings have long been events in this coun but the forthcoming one will 80 far surpass unything of the kind ever attempted before that there will be no comparison. Special electric motor trains will carry the ladies andgeutiemen from Omaha, ~The trains will stop and start in front of the entrance.

The case of Theodore Brown, the sus- pected wurderer of William Bpears, was taken before the grand jury yesterday morn- ing, and subbauas issued for about a uozen witnesses. As stated yesterday, the evi- dence against Brown is wholly clrcumstan- nters, 416 B'wy. tial, no motive for the commission of the crime having as yeot developed. Brown de- nies any complicity in the crime, and asserts that he was in Omaha on the evening when the crime is supposed to have been commit- ted, but fails to clearly exolain his where- abouts, He says that he boarded a motor train at the Northwestorn depot about § o'clock, but his movements previous to that time are not explained. The authorities admit that he may have taken the car for Omaha, as he states, and still be a party to the murder, s the crime. 8o far as is known, was committed about 8:30, which would give the murderer time to get to the place above designated bofore O o'clock. They are still nositive that they have the right man, or one of the right men. and the police are now working to find a clue that would develop a motive for the commission of the terrible deed. ————— See the lamb at the Masonic, temple this coming week, It will be voted to the meek- est butchor. e — A walk over the four floo; Blufls Furmture Co., 4 show the finest line of all grades of furni- ture in the vity, Every pieca s bought for cash, shipped direct from factory in car lots and the beneflt of every discount is given the .purchaser.

Stringer, a lineman in the employ of the telephone company, was yesterday held to the grand jury in the sum of 00 by Squire Schorz, on the charge of malwious trespass. The complaint was filed by Mr. George Graves, who alleged that the de- fendant, in pursuit of his duties as an em- ploye of the company, trasspassed unon his grounds and cut down a number of tr The trees iterfered with the lines of the company, 80 Graves trimmed them 8o as to leave a space of about four feet both above and below the wires. The owner of the property thought there had been too much trimming done, in fact much more thun was absolutely necessary, and therefore decided to find out in court just what rights he had in the matter. Souire Schurz concluded that it was a question for the higher court to settle, 8o bound over the defendant.

The Coursing club has started out with the avowe intention of securing one of the finest packs of hounas to be found in the country. They now haye sixteen and have ordered eleven more, besides having an agent now on the road looking up others. One of the dogs fust ordered isa Phila- delphia prize winner, and is guaranteed keen-scented and fast enough to fun in the lead of any paci in the country. The club pays #50 for him. They have also contracted with a dog fancier at Danville, Va., for a lit- ter of puppies not yet born, The pups are to be delivered here in January, and the con- tract price is an even $100 and express charges. Negotiations arc also pending for the purchase of about twenty other dogs in various parts of the country, some of them belonging to the most fashionably bred ken- nels of the south.

The funeral of Miss Julia J. {Sullivan, one of the most popular and capable teachers ever employed in the public schools of this city, took place yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock. The obsequies were very impres- sive. A solemn reouiem mass was cele- brated at St. Francis Xavier's church, with the Rey. Father Linehan, of Boone, a rela- tive of the deceased, as celebrant, Father Maloy as deacon, Fatber Daxacker sub- deacon and Father ‘McMenomy, master of ceremonios. A touching tribute to the virtues and worth of the depafted spirit, was paid in Rev. Fatbher Linehan's sermon, From the church, the cortege, which was one of the largest’ ever seen in this city, wended the way to the Catholic cemetery where the last sad rites were performed. Au impressive feature of the concourse a sembled to pay fiual respects o the deceased was her fornier classmates at St. Francis academy who marched in the procession to the cemetery, The pall-bearers were Messrs, 1d. Wickbam, John Connors, John Mulqueen, Thomas Hughes, John Fitzpat- rick and Hubert Tinley, The deceased was born in New Haven, Conn., but removed to this city with her paveuts, when very small, and resided here the greater portion of her life, She was twenty-two years of age. e e .

Wonderful Dévelopments Promised in the Two Dagotas—Chey Have Tin=An Apundant Sapply of neral | S The Denver of the Hil's, Ietand at the gateway of the Black Hills, after passing through one of the great granarvies of the nation, writes Amos J, Cummings to the New York Sun in a letter dated Rapid City. The granary excites wonder aud admira- tion, Wastes that supported a few thousand savages not many yeurs ago are now raising grain and produce enough to sustain 30,000,000 people. It is a granary so large and fertile that it might easily be made to feed double that number. Tt covers Illinois, lowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The fiest two stutes comprise the old wing of the building, and the last two a new wing. The old wing is nearly complete in its furnishings, but the new one is hardly floored and roofed. The latter has mar- velous possibilities and supreme proba- bi Towns are springing up within it like mushrooms in a sheep pasture, Steady streams of immigrants are pouring over its aren. Its growth is stimulated by valuable mineral re- sources, in the first stage of develop- ment. The valleys of the score of streams issuing from the Black Hills are beginning to teem with life, and the opemng of the great Sioux reservation will undoubtedly develop a boom rival- ing if not surbassing that of Oklahoma. A thousand great fortunes are to be culled here within the next five years, and hundreds of thousands of farms are to be staked out and ecultivated. Corn seems to be a staple crop in South Da- kota as well as in Nebraska. The bot- toms are apparently especialty adapted to its culture. Some farmersgrind the cobsand use the dust in making vine- gar., When thus treated it is said that the vinegar sours sooner and becom much sharper. Christian connoisseurs have evidently not discovered tuhat it also gives the vinegara tang that re- calls the flavor of corn whisky. Toward sundown & cool breeze ran over the prairi Dark clouds gath- ered in the west, and the sky looked very threatening. An hour later the vind whistled fiercely and the rain fell in torrents. There was neither light- ning nor thunder.” The parched earth yratefully absorbed the moisture, and the train turnett northward, crossing the line of the new state about mid- night. We were among what is known as the sand hills, the only un- productive territoty in South Dakota. Old settlers whiy were passengers thanked God that the straungers could see it. They say, however, that it is a fair country for summar grazing, but that no stock can live there in the win- ter. The grass isthin and the soil poor. At times a persistout settler builds a sod hut and tries to eke outa living, but in almost every case he is finally driven out by starvation. KEven prario hens avoid the sand hills. Rabbits and prairie dogs are about the only game seen. Daylight still found us in this undelec- table region. As the Black Hills dimly lined the horizon, there was a change. Tiny huts began to appear. They were the nucleus of small stock farms. Wire fences again lined the track, and the soil began to resemble that of the onion patches in Orange county, N. Y. It was as black as William M. Evart’s hat. Lattle roads ran between the hills, and a few small fields of corn brightened the landscape. The stalks and ears, however, bore no cowparison to those in the Elkhorn valley. Small herds of horses were browsing on the short dun grass. Furrows had been turned for miles along the track to prevent praivie fires from spreading. The Black Hills at last loomed boldly above the foothills, They are rightly named. They are as black as was the storm cloud on the previous evening. The land grew better still. It is all cutup in little farms. Turkeys roamed around the little cubins, uud flocks of wild aoves and blackbirds filled the air. Meadow larks shot right and left, frightened by the rumbling of the train, but no English sparrows were seen. They have no yet appeared west of the Missouri river. Passing the little town of Hermosa, the train® swept on to Rapid City through a country increasing in rich- ness and fertility, Bands of horses were grazingon the hillsaud in the val- leys. Itisa region prized by breeders of these anmmals, There are over 30,000 head of horses now grazing within twenty-five milesof this main entrance to the Black Hills, Rapid City has about 4,000 mhabitants. In five years it ought to have 20,000. It fills the golden gate lending to the mineral re- wions, 1t is really the Denver of South Dakota. It occupies relatively the same natural and commercial position as the Rocky Mountain city, Put the South Plate in the place of the Rapid river and you wiil have the Denver of eight- een years ago. The city is destined to be a railroad center, as well as the muin vutlet of the hills. Several roads have already been surveyed across the Sio reservation. When the Northwestern branch is completed the city will have an air-line route to Chicago. 1t will then be within twenty-four hours of the great western emporium, and only forty- eight hours from New York. Rapid City is built of brick baked in the Rapid valley near by, It has inex- haustible quarties of ‘red sandstone, tone and granite almost within a shot. Thufi will herealter give employment to hundreds of men, for as the plains are settled the demand for building material will be immense Excellent fire orick is also made here, Electric carbons Hood the streets with light at night, and can be seen glim- mering like stars of the first magnitude for miles down the valle Coal has also been discovered a mile from the city at a depth of, 700 feet. There is any quantity of iron in the mountains not far away. Marble quarries also await development. But the great fac- tor the future wealth of the city will undoubtedly be the tin mines, There is no longer any doubt that the tin is here and in laree paying quantities., At least $3,000,000 S)uve already been in- vested ia them, and this is only the be- fiinning. The mines encircle the cone nown as Harney’s Peak. A survey for a railroad running through the tin district from Rapid City is already be- ing made. The road will undoubtedly be built within two years, A real es- tate boom will probably follow, and the scenes witnessed in Denver twelve years ago repeated, The city has several banks and churches. two daily newspapers, and good hotels and restaurants, Theve is afoundry and two grain mills.

Elsewhere in South Da- kota farms may be bought for from 5 to #50 an acre, according to their distance from the railrond. There are a few quarter sections still open to pre-emp- tion, but the great rush will come when the Sioux reservation is officinlly thrown open to settlement. Then this bin of the great national granary will begin to fill with grain so rapidly as to cause the eyes of o Pharoah to bulge, with even soven years of famine in view. oty bt A Woman's Proper Sphere.

As the sum of over thirty years’ observa- tion ot this form of intellectual unrest and the perusal of hundreds of letters from malcontents, 1 assert, without fear of contradiction, that the uufortunates who raise the lamentations are in the proportion of a thousand to one, and they ave those who are the least fit to take the lowest seat in the woman’s kingdom.™ A hut and cane will be voted to the most reliable enwineer at the German Catholic baznar: Among the candidates named are Burns, of the C., R. 1.
