The Manawa motor trains made regular half hour trips yesterday, each train com- posed of three cars. During the afternoon all the coaches were loaded both ways, fully one-half of the visitors being from Omaha. Great improvements have been made at the lake during the week, especially about the hotel and grounds. The change made is so at that visitors of last year scarcely know the place, and the improvement is as great as the change. The steamers wero running, carrying full loads of plensure seckers around the lake, while scores of row and sail boats carried small parties. The fine breeze and the exi lent stage of water made fine suiling. Sev- eral handsome, little clippers have been launched this spring, and sailing bids fair to be the rage at the lako this summer. + The hotel has been completely remodeled and refurnished, and the date of the opening fixed for May 28. Since it has been moved to the luke front the lawn has been increased by the addition of a couple of acres and the whole has been sodded and covered with trees. Ornamental shrubbery has taken the place of the old-fashioned sunflowemss, and the surroundings are pleasant and signtly. Numerous improvements are under way on the south side of the lake. The beach is now in the hands of & stock company composed of Omaba and South Omaha parties, chief of whom is Mayor Sloan, They purpose to ex- pend several thousand dollars in permanout improvements. Piling has been driven for the erection of a pavilion entirely surrounded by water, which will be used for dancing, re- freshments, booths aud boat landings. The schutzenverein ||Bn[)le are also making extersive improvements In their property on the north sideof the lake and will have a beautiful park for the summer amusements.

Harrls, who runs & bottling works on Broadway near the Northwestern depot, opened up his establishment yester- day morning, he found unmistakable evi- dence that he had had some callers during his absence. A large office chair was lying on the floor in a state of smash up, the door of his large steel safe was lying peacefully on the floor several foet from its moorings, and the light wooden partition whict divides the front office from the rest of the building was filled with holes through which a cat could biave been thrown without injury to the cat, Ou Investigation ho found thata window in the rear door of the building had been broken out, and that through the hole thus lie visitors had made their entrance. about large enough to admit the inse tion of a lead pencil in the top of the safe told the tale.

The thieves failed to_realize anything on their expedition, as the safe had been enp- tied of all its' valuables before closing up Saturday night, and the only thing in it was the number of the safe combination. This was uppropriated by the thieves. There is no clue to the pery ors, but the sudden advent into the city a day or two ago of a couplo of well known crooks has caused a knowing expression to creep over the faces of the police. e SORIEN S ilks, Figured China silks on sale, 60c, 85¢ and e, Monday evening from 6 o'clock.

There were seven contestants, Grant, Ross, Gerhart, Pepper, Losicr, Stow and Oller. Grant won first place, his time being 5 seconds. Ross came second. The rest of the contests were as follows: Seventy-five yards dush; «utries--Grant, Ross, Losler, Oller, Peppe; and Hough.

The prize for the suc- cessful contestant in the bicyclo race was a beautiful gold badge, consisting of a small bicycle suspended from a heavy gold cross- ar. While the contests were goingon a ball game was in progress between the South Omaha club and the Models of this city, It was & wonderful game, 80 far as errors wers concerned, although to the credit of the home team be it said they were mostly made on the other side. At the close of the game the score was 26 to 6 in favor of the Models, The last thing on the programme was an exhibition run by the John N.

The neogssary capital, $100,- 000,(0), has been subscribed by a syn- dicato of capitalists of tais city and New Jer- sey and tho New Jerséy commission will meet next week to effect a permanent organi-. zation. When this has been dove the com- pany will be incorporated under both the laws of New York and New Jersey.

Besides the nereased facilities for travel he said the new bridge and_approaches would open avenues of local commerce which would completely abolish the overcrowded condition of the North and East rivers. The bridge and approaches will be the means of establishing freizht and coal docks at Port Morris, the western end of Long Island Sound, where vessels can be loaded without having'to pass through Hell Gate ana around the city of New York to Port Amboy nd Elizabethport N.

Closing Session Devoted to an Old- Fashioned Covenanter's Meeting. Louvtsviite, Ky., May 17.—The delogates to the Scotch-lrish congress tonight con- ducted an old-fashioned Covenanter's meet- ing at the Auditorium, the largest hall in the city. An audience of 3,000 was present and many more were turned away. The linng out of the hymn and the careful explanation of the scriptural reading were the main char- acteristic features. The Rev. C. R. Hemp- hiil of the Warren Memorial church here presided, and the Rev. J. L. McNar of Lovisville lead the singing. There was no instrumental music, but all joined with a hearty good will that brougnt back the earnestness of the old Scotch Presbyterian in singing the 100th Psalm to the tune of “Old Hundred.” The invocation was then made by Rev. Dr. Bryson of Huntsville, Ala. The Rev. Stuart Atchison of Toronto read Acts v., 1 The twenty-third Psalm was sung to'the tune of “‘Martyrdom.” The text was explained at great length by Rev. J. S. Mc- Intosh of Philadelphia. Prayer was offered by Rev. Woodside, and Psalm 46, to the tune of “Arlington,” was followed by a sermon by Rev. Jobn Hall of New York on the “Prophesy of Joel.” A prayer by Rev. George M: c'oskie, of Princeton, Psalm 68, to the tune “Balerma,” and the benediction closed the exercises, which would probably have been tedious to all but for their noveity. Dr, Hall's sermon received close attention, Poday the Presbyterian pulpits of the city were occupied by Drs.

What the old-fashioned pill did forcibly, these do mildly and gently, They do more, too. Their effects are lasting ; they regulate the system, as well as cleanse and renovate it. One little Pellet’s a gentle laxative ; three to four act as a cathartic. They're the smallest, cheapest, the iest to take, Inequaled as a Liver Pill. Sick Headache, Bilious Head- ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bil- ious Attacks, and all derangements of the stomach and bowels, are promptly relieved and permancntly cured. They're the cheapest pill you can buy, because they've guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You only pay for the good you t. get. Can you ask more? ‘G & CO, S. W.

When Horace Greeley was a regular attendant at Dr, Chapin's church, there was always to be seen at his side a bright-eyed little girl, says the New York Press. She was a mischievous youngster, and the pnmylv in surround- ing pews sometimes discovered that, with a paper and pencil in hand, she was drawing a picture of her dear old father nid-nid-nodding in his seat. Some of the y strl church-goers, who believed that” no sin was excusable in church except thav of going to sleep, predicted a very bad end for the mint'kxiu\'uun little girl; but, as the fairy books say, she grew and she grew, and afterward became a very good woman, ‘This self-same mischievous girl is Miss Gabrielle Greeley, who became the wife of the Rev.
