Packed houses greetod the Aronson opera company yesterday afternoon in “‘Erminie,” and last evening in the great operatic suc- cess, '‘Nadjy.” Elegant costumes, rich stage settings and excellent music combined o make the presentation attractive as could be desired.

They were coasting and in the darkness ran intoa horse which was stauding near the foot of the hill.

The evi- dence showed that Larson, the brosecuting witnes was indebted to Bethers’ uncle, and the latter sent his nephew to the store for somo groceries. Supposing that the grocer understood the situation and that the order hud been filled, Bethers picked up the goods and walked out while Larson was in the rear end of the store. The court failed 1o discover any criminal intent and ordered the release of the defendunt.

There is little doubt that the wamblers will shortly reform their evil ways—temporarily, and it s very likely that the tactics of Lwo years 8g0 will be repeated, and all of the houses closed until after the grand jury adjourns, @nd possibly until after the adjournment of this term of court, e LT Attend Eiseman's special sale. e L Great sluughter sale of dry goods at Eise- mau's this week, ————— Low prices and lots of business will be the rule at Eiseman's this week. s b ‘The ackoowled leading photographer m Council Bluffs is Schmidt, 220 Main llgnt e —— ‘The water runs when Bixby plumbs. .

Tipton's Boom for Asscasor—The acrao Reception—The Grand Jdury and the Gamblers— News on 'Change. Fixing the Sjates. A select clique of democracy met in & quiet corner F'riduy evening, ana prepared a municipal slate to be offered for the consid- eration of the democratic city convention, 1t was made up as follows: Mayor—P. Lacy or M. Keating. Marshal—Thomas Maloney. Solicitor—(. A. Holmes. Engineer—J, C. Bradbeck. Auditor—C, A. Hammer, Treasurer—Frod Spelman, Alderman—At large, Josiah Danforth; First ward, Vice Jennings; Second ward, E. P. Bellinger. Police Judy Aylesworth, Assessor— pton. Iew of those Whose names appear on tho ticket wera present at this informal caucus, and 1tis understood that some of them, notably Alderman Lacy, are not desirous of anomination. Kor this reason for mayor was not made. 1t is stated that an independent or citi- zon's ticket will certainly be placed in the field, and several names have been presented w0 head it. The name of John Schoentgen was Sprung yesterday, and several republi- cans are working to secure his nomination. His candidacy is regarded with disfavor by some of the democrats Who oxpress the opin- ion that ho would be opposed to public im- provements, and cite his action as member of the ool board on the new school house question, 1n support of their position: Many of the democrats and number of republicans are booming Hon. Lucias Wells, of Deere, Wells & Co., for the position of chief municipal executive, and his name is received with general satisfaction, although much doubt 1s expressed as to whether he would accept tho nomination, as he resigned his position in -the council owing to lack of time to attend to the dutios of the office. The republican choice for ‘mayor is E. L. Shugart, and_he appears to be the only can- didute in the fleld. Tha generally expressed opinion is that the republicans will endorse many 1f not ail of the nominees of a citizens’ ticket in case such a ticket is placed in the fleld, and_this is what is worrying the dem- ocratic wheel horses, and causing the mem- bers of the old time ring” to shake in their boot A. C. Graham is mentjoned as n_possible candidate to head an independent ticket, and Captain J. T. Anderson and J. L. Templeton are spoken of 1n connection with the office of marshal. L. Bredenstein is boomiog up very largely as_candidate for alderman-at large in the same connection, and the bal- ance of the citizen's ticket has been sug- gosted as follows: Solicitor—Walter 1. Smith. Auditor—Samuel Rohrer. Treasurer—s. H. Odell. Engineer—Thomas Tostevin. Aldermon—First ward, Alex Woods; Sec- ond ward, Josiah Danforth; Fifth ward, W. A. Highsmith; Sixth_ward, A. C. Harding. Superintendent of Markets—John Oliver, the choice . There will be quite s fight for alderman from the First ward, and if Alder- man Waterman secures the nomination for re-election he will get it in the faco of strong opposition. Jesse Walters has de- veloped as the latest candidate for the posi- tion and nis friends were at vork yesterday setting forth his claims for racognition. The election will be held five weeks from tomor- row which will give the aspirants ample timo to lay their lines to capture the nomi- nations. Much interest is mamfested in the situation and political matters will be very lively from this time on, g S ) The Boston Store Sale This Week.

The council has decided that the levee along the river bank is badly in need of repairs, and the city engineer has been in- structed to submit a report regarding the mattter, stating what work is necessary und the probable cost of making the repairs. The mayor states that the levee is in good condition 1 many piaces, the bank being fully as high as when first made and per- fectly solid, but that in others it has been cut by cow paths, and 1n some places it has been cut down two and threo feet by wagon It is the intention to put it in first- repair from the Northwestern railway embankment to the Union Pacific bridge, thus preventing any possibility of the river overflowing the low land in the western L of the aty. ‘The engineer has also been instructed to ex- amine the Northwestern embankment and see that it 18 in good repair. In pansing the resolution the ocouncil ex- pressed the opinion that there was no dan- ger of & spring overfiow, but deemed it best 1o take this step as a precautionary measure, Alderman Waterman stating that the snow was unusually deep in the mountains ana that the spring rise would therefore be a big one. Alderman Lacy was not present at the meetivg, and yesterday expressed the opinion that the move was unuecessary one. Said he: *‘There is no use in creating alarm, and this action on the part of tho council can scarcely help doing that. There is no more snow in the vicinity of the head- wm\m than is usual at this time of year, and even if there was there is no reason for any such sudden outburst. The snow never goes out until June, giviog us what we cali the June -rise, and there is time to build half a dozen levees before that tiwe. This idea of coming out in midwinter with the startling sunouncement that the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: levee is defective is little less than ridiou. lous. Further than this, T Know that the levee is in good condition. Any material damage that has been done has occurred within the past three months, as I drove over the entire length of it late in the fall, and at that time there wera no_cuts in it, such as the mayor speaks of, I don't believe ho knows what he 18 talking about, and I don’t think he has been over the line sinco he visited tho site " of the govbrn- ment riprapping with me last fall. The property on what is known as the bot- toms is all right, and this hue and cry about the levee will only tend to make residents in dissatistied without cause. I @ of any such action on the part of the council, and I wish Tue Bee would just state in the morning the true condition of affairs. Unless the people fully under- stand the situation, the panicky reports will cause a deal of needless apprehension.” - A special sale at E - Dissolntion Notice, The partnership heretofore existing be- tween T.

The mention of the name of J. G. Tipton, the well known real estate agent, as a candi- date for the office of assessor, macts with general approval. Sald a member of the council yesterday: “The citizens don't seem to realizo that the assessor's office is an_important one, and that it makes a great deal of difference whether the real estato and personal proverty of the city is assessed or not. Do you know that the assessed valu- ation of personal property in this city is $120,000 less for this year than it was for last year! Do you kmnow that 20 per cent of the real estate of this oty 18 not assessed at alll Do you know that other property owners are exorbitantly assessed to muke up for it Do you suppose that the citizens generally know 1his 1o be the case! Just drop into the countys, treasurer's or suditor’s ofice and find out about this, T know what I am ta!king about and T know that this is the case. 1 want to sce a change, but we can’t have it unless the voters will say 80 at the polls. 1 am glad to see J. G. Tivton’s name mentioned, and I hope he will be nominated and elected. As @ real estate man he has a correct idea of real estate values in all parts of the city, and he is a man of undoubted honesty and integrity. I would support him for the oftico on any ticket, and there are hundreds of others who would do the same.” Se e For this week we offer 100 ladies’ jersey suits, all sizes, from 32 to 40, bust measure, at 2,50 a suit. These suits are of the very latest designs, and are especially suitable for house und street wear, See them exhib- ited in our show windows this week. Henry Eiseman & Cor £ The Real Kstate Exchange. The real estate exchange held a short ses- sion yesterday forenoon with a good number of the members present. The mayor's refusal to sign the city hali resolution took that very important element out of the dis. cussion that was to take place in the ex- change, and it left the session somewhat tamer than it would otherwise have been, The only important business transacted was the election of the permancut secretary. The choice was made by the executive com- mittee and was made by ballot. But two bailots were taken.. On the first Grover Cleveland got one, H. E. Grimm one and Bartram Zevely four, On the second ballot Mr. Zevely received all the votes of the com- mitteemen present and was declared elected unanimously. His compensation was fixed at 50 cents a-month for each member of the exchange until the membership exceeds fifty, then thero is to be a reduction per capita. Several valuable bargains-were posted on Hl? big board but no sales were made pub- A)bnul the time the board got ready to ad- journ it was rumored that John Ahles was to address thp meeting in opposition to the city hall scheme, and quite a crewd gathered to hear one of his characteristic speeches, He was present, loaded up to the chin with anti- taxation thunder, and ready to ve fired upon the least pretext, but no allusion was made to the big bond scheme, and the opportunity was lost. ——————— Domestic dry goods at retail for less than wholesale prices during this week's special sale at Eiseman’s, B See the elegant English sateen, henrietta finished, that Kiseman sells for 15¢ per yard.

' One of the most delightful events that has contributed to the pleasure of the society people of the Bluffs this season was the ro- ception given Friday evening by Dr. and Mrs. D. Macrae at their elegant new home on Fifth avenue, A large number of invita- tions were isaued, amd very few of the favored ones were compolled to send regrets, The rooms were tastefully decorated with smilax, potted plants and_ roses, and & benu- tiful center piece of lilies, buds and blos- soms, was an object of general admiration. Mrs. Macrae was assisted in receiving by Miss Miller of Omaha, and Miss Davenport of this oity, Mrs. Macrae wore black velvet avd ainmonds, Miss Miller green and pink crepe with pearl ornaments, Miss Daven- ort black ~ lace over black silk. albey's orchestra furnished sweet music, adding much to the pleasure of the occasion, The supper tables were most artistically decorated, and wax candles shed a_subdued but pleasing light over the polished brasses and tempting urray ot delicacies. Mrs, B, Zevely and Mrs, Dr. Brower presided at the ten and coffee tables, and Mrs, J, L. Stewart and Mrs, Jos. Lyman attended to those who desired more substantial refreshments. Mrs, E. E. Aylesworth presided over a hugo bowl of delicious punch in the library which she dispensed most gracefully, The guests were grandly entertained by the doctor and his charming wife and the oc- casion will not soon be forgotien. i L The ginghams that Eiseman sells for 50 & yard this week was never sold ror less than Scand 10 s yard by any house in America.

Neither was the form of a tall, fair young man standing on the elevated railway platform at Thirty-fourth street station, hidden from my view as I reached the sidewalk beneath it, hav- ing walked over from Fifth avenue, in- tent on going down as far as Fourteenth street to do alittie shopping previous to the Christmas holidays in 1888, It was one of my many oddities to travel in this way instead of tuking my carriage. Something about the figure instinct- v attracted me, and anxious for a nearer inspoction I hurried up the steps at twice my usual pace, fearing lest a train should roll along and carry him off before I arrived. Hurriedly buying my ticket I passed out on the platform, He whose magnetism had drawn me there was standing, tall. fair and list- A tool bag of coarse ticking was slung across one shoulder. He wore a rough, half-worn suit of working clothes and heavy shoes which, however, could not dotract from his general noble appear- ance. [ gazed for a moment at the fair classic profile, the dreamy blus eyes, then Jo\\‘n at the hard, work-worn bands—only a workman, a mechanic, and yet in that moment I realized that atlust the grand passion—love—that which [ had so long searched, which had always evaded me that at times 1 almost doubted its existence, had come at last. Laugh if you will. Sentimentalist, do you say? Ay, and proud of it. What is life worth living without love such as Paul felt for Virginia, love that made the earth a wilderness, drear and void at her death, and caused him to pine away and soon foilow her to the shadow land? 1 feel that love like that, 0 pure, so true, so utterly free from all worldliness, would be worth a thousand deaths. Am I but a foolish dreamer of idle fancies, but & romancer who constantly longs for the ideal and unreal, instead ofrcontentedly jogging along with the real? Every one has a ruling passion. One may choose money, drink, gambling, study, ambition, politics—mine is lo and have i nota right to it? Yes. in- deed, for I am rich, and in this New York of ours I find that money covers a multitude of sins. Iam short and swarthy, with*dark eyes and black hair, somewhat stout; *'a nice plump little figure,” mwy dress- maker says: money again. Were I poor and had to make my own garments I would be simply stumpv. Yes, Lam de- cidedly plain lookin, Being a mil- lionaire’s daughter is not synonymous with being a beauty. My nose has al- ways been a cause of mortification, for it is flat, almost without bridge and broad at the nostrils, and I could not help observing that every Chinaman I met as I traveled about “the city had just such a citadel mounting geard over his face. If it be a national® feature, I am unable to judge, my knowledge of Chinese being strictly limited to tho Knights of the laundry in our own city. To proceed still further in deseribing my most nsignilicant-looking self, let me say that while my hero, my demi- gou, as I already deemed him, stood with the cold December winds sweep- ing past him, nbne too well protected from the blast by hisold working jacket. I was mufiled to the chin in a rich seal- skin coat. My head, which did not en- velop brains clever enough to devise for me the happiness that ordinary mor- tals enjoy, was covered with a sealskin cap, and my white hands, which had never done a stroke of work, were hidden in a muff of the same. Furs on a tall person give a certain stateliness, but surcly with my iittle dark face peering out of these I might ily pass for an Esquimaux. minutes the train glided along. T watched to see which car my Adonis made for, then moved toward the same. ‘We neared the gate together, and he stepped back to atlow me to pass in. Had he pushed rudely in first 1 fancy my airy dreams would have been crushed—perhaps my new-born love for him would have received a death blow. Surely I, a millionaire’s daughter, should be allowed a little license with- out being called rude, clse my monoy is of little use. Allowable or not, I took a seat opposite and gazed attentively at his face. He scemed to be thinking deeply, and never so much as glanced across at the romantic little bundle of sealskin, 1 have one faculty painfully acute, and that is the ability to read people by their faces; and as plainly as I couid read honesty and goodness stamped on that countenance, so had 1 often de- ciphered falsity on the smiling faces of my adwmirers. Although plain, I was not without suitors, but according to my reading there was not one true love among them, Their eyes all shone greedy for -gain; I was but the means to attain it, and would aftorward be counted an incumbrance. We had now reached Fourteenth street; but as he did not stir, neither did I, firm in the deter- mination to discover, if it lay m my power, where he was going. Further than that, I was unable to plan at pres- ent. Ninth—Houston—Grand: Here he rose, and with graceful, swinging step left the car, I, with my none-too-graceful walk, followed him, and dogged closely be- hind untl he entered one of the large dry goods stores with which that street abounds. The noise of hammers and buzzof saws soon informed me that part of the place was undergoing alter- ations, and I saw him—my unknown adored one—throw off his coat and hat, and after a few moments’ conversation with a man who seemed to be overlook- in lllna work, set to with hammer and nuils, I turned to the nearest counter, bought a few trifling articles and went home. Most surely it was little less than idiocy for a woman in my position —one who with but a yus could have a fine gentleman for a husband, a splen- did establishment and everything seem- ingly that the heart could desire—to go racing around after a carpenter—an utter stranger. In my own room I argued, reasoned and ‘wrestled with myself for a time, With what result? That evenlnf my father was seated alone in his library, half-dozing in an easy chair, when I walked softly in, olng ina dark red plush gown that really suited me better than anythin, else. I stood before him and woul have knelt, but had never yet brought myself to kngel to God or man, With downcast eyes and low voize I recited the little speech I had learned by rote before entering, fearing lest nervous- ness shouid rob me of the power of ex- pressing mysell clearly, . “Father, in — store on Grand street there are some carpenters at work, Among them is one, tall, fair, with a blonde mustache, regular teeth, blue eyes and asmal! scar on the third finger of his right hand, 1 want you to send there, find out all you can about him, and ulso employ him to come here to do some work for you.” The look of amazement melted into one of resignation, as it had so often done at one of my strange requests. How well I remember the first time | In a few: PAGES myself the name of belng an eo ontric being. I was but & child and had re- coived a tiny goid wateh and small diamond ring as biethday gifts, The ring chafed my finger and the watch, according to my childish reasoning, wus useless in a house where there were so many clocks. So I walked one after- noon until Icame to a second-hand store, where 1 sold thom both for a small sum of monoey., which I distributed among the poor children I chanced to meet, and went home, elated at having gladdened their hearts and relieved mysell of & burden. My father drew me down on a chair near him, smoothed my hair refloc- tively a few moments, thon said, grave- ly: “My dear Laura, must this boe done? Don’t you think the fancy will wear off in a fow days? ” “It must be done,” I replied, with all the deter- mination [ could muster; *'my happi- noss depends upon it.” “That settles the question,” an- swered he, “but what work is he to do? We need nothing.” “Have some new cupbonrds built in the kitchon,” was my ready response. “Ah yes,” with a smile of ief, “‘down in the kitehen: very good The dear ola man thought that this would preclude the chance of intor- course between us. 1 knew that his re- lief was fated to be short-lived, but said nothing. faithful messenger performed his task, and the young carpentor, whose name proved to be Mr. John Britten, was engaged to come the following week. During the interval 1 did not even mention the matter, but went my usunl round and surprised my friends with an amount of gaiety they thought me incapable of. I felt lively, for a hope of something better, atuany rate of something new, dawned upon my horizon. I had still one disagrocable task which [ left until the evening be- fore Mr. Britten was to begin work. My parents were about to start for the theater, when I begged them to wait a minute, as | had something important to say. I then informed them, as briefly us possible, that, beginning to- morrow, for some short time I meant to disguise myself and aot s their waitress: that after & o’clock each even- ing [ would resume my own clothing and take my & stomed place in so- ciety. They appeared electrified at this latest and wildest project of their ugly duckling. My mother gave way to hysterics, but soon calmed horself, as she did not wish to ruin her appear- ance for the evening. Father uttered some few remonstrances in a faint- hearted, hopeless tone, as though pre- viously certain of their fruitlessness, Well, [ enjoyed the novelty of wearing a plain dress and dabbling in the kitehen, helping cook to the best of my ability, but often, I fear, more hin- drance than help. The young man looked upon me as an equal and chatted pleasantly as he worked. Often, when I had finished my work, I would sit quictly playing~ with some picce of fancy work, listening to the cheery music of his tools; at least their sound was music to me. He told me how his boyhood had been full of hardship. He had sold mnewspa- pers, morning and evening, for a fow yeurs, at the same time attending school; had then entered a carpenter’s shop to learn the trade, and that now he could earn a_very fair living; also thathe had a little” sayed—enough to buy furniture, should he marry, This was said rather pointedly, and I smiled inwardly but happily, as I thought of his savings, probably altogether not as much as my pin money for a week. Op- posites attract, it is said, and surely no two beings could be more different than we; yet, unless appearances were do- ceitful, he was growing fond of me whereas my state of affectionsisalready known. In return for his confidence T told him that my name was Mary Evart, at least that was the name given me at tho orphan asylum from which our em- ployer, Mr. Sutley, had taken me. I gave him to understand ‘that I had no relations and no friends, except my em- ployer, determining that if he ever cared for mo it should be for myself alone, without a thought of money or tamily. So the days sped by all too quickly for me. For the first time in my life the discontented chufing against fate gave way to a peaceful happiness, and while he was in the room the atmospheric, without personal, contact was enough to throw me into a blissful calm, One evening he left a littie later than usual. And when he was gone T sped upstairs happy at last. He had asked me the one 1mportant question and I had said ‘tyes.” Singing blithely I canged my Cinderella costume for my princess’s robes, ran down to the parlor and seuted myself at my piano well pleased to touch its ivory keys, after the short exile at washing dishes. i Irattled off a few lively pie: took up my favorite, Weber’s I loved that piece and threw all my heart into it as I played. Sweet and clear the Shepherd Song rang above the first mutterings of the thunder, then as the storm raged fiercer my fingers fairly flew and the piano seemed bewitched, f!n' nover had I been able to draw from it such wonderful vol- umes of sound, The fire bells rang out sharp and clear, and finally, as the storm subsides, the rumbling thunder grows fainter and the song radually dies away. With the last ow notes I was startled by hearing a long-drawn sigh. Hnsnl?' swingin, around I saw him standing, hat in hand, lips parted, and alook of intense emo- tion on his face. ‘“‘Pardon my intru- sion, madam,” he said. “I met Mr. Sutley outside and he usked me to come bacl to the library. We had alittle business to settle, but he was called away and asked me to wait till he re- turned, Then I heard the storm brew- ing and could not understand, as the sky is clear. I was drawn toward it, and Oh, madam, T had no idea there was such music.” “It is, indeed, a grand piece,” T re- plied. At the sound of my voice he started forward. The lights were turned low, so I had not much fear but what I could baftle him, for I would not have him know yet, No one should be able to say my husband wed me for gold. “Mary,” he said in a hesitating, questioning way. *Ior whom do you take me, my good man?” I asked with all the coldness I could assume, although my heart throbbed. ‘‘Are you not Mary, Mary Evart?” he said, advancing another step. llux:{my at this moment my father ap- ared in the doorway. With a forced augh I exclained: “Father, vhis gen- tleman has mistaken me for our little waitress, 1 declare, ' it is too bad that the resemblance is so great as to make these errors of such frequent oc- currence.” With this I turned and passed out at another door, Next morning John told me of his adventure, and we laughed heartily over 1t; *but Mary, dear,” he said, “‘when we are married we must have a iano. We'll be able to get one on the nstallment plan, and you shall learn to play like Miss Sutley, upstairs,” 1" assented cheerlully, well pleased that my John showed a taste for music. Nor had he the small vices and rough- ness 0 many attribute to workmen.
