For this pur- pose they opened the door of the store on Saturday and run off a fow thousand dollars worth of goods at prices that created a punic. Tomorrow, Monday, the store will be opened again, and it is very likely that the rush will be so great that the greater part of the re- mainder will be cleaned out. Everything is sold for considerably less than whole- sule cost in the cast, and gentlemen will get bargains in spring clothing and fur- nishing gcods that will simply astound them, Come and seo tomorrow if this is not so.

BOSTON STORE, 1L BLUKFES, 1A Cou Cold Storage Discussed. The farmers and fruit growers held their regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon at the court house. In addition to their usual program. which ncluded papers by several of the members of the association, the sub- ject of erecting 8 cold storage warehouse was discussed at considerable levgth. J. J. Fea- ron appeared before the association and ex- plained the plan which he proposed at the l\(’)ml meeting of the Board of Trade und the Merchants and Manufacturers association last woek. He proposed that a stock com- pany be organized for the purpose of build- ing a warehouse to cost about 35,000, He then agreed to take the warehouse for a term of five years, paying the wembvers of the company 3 per cent on the amount of their investmont each year for the first two yoars, 4 per cent for the third year and 5 per ceut for the last two years, This scheme did not seem to meet with the approval of the farmers, who thought that Feuron ought to be able to make them a more tempting proposition. L. A. Casper agroed to take the houss at a yearly rental of $2,000 for o period of five years, with the priviloge of ten, and as this would ¢ive the investors an income of nearly 6 per cent on their iu- vestment it was somowhat more popular than Fearon’s proposal. Still they were not wholly satisfied, It was finally deolaed to leave the matter for the present in the hands of W. J. Davenport, who stuted that he had been in correspondence with a man who was anxious to buila a warchouse ob his own hook. The man in question is expected to arrive in the city in a week or ten day s, and when he comes something definite will prob- ably be done. The prospects are now that a cold storage warehouse will be built in the clty in time so that it can bo used during the coming fruit season. o lnstern money to loan on real estate by 1. H.

During the past ten years several eunlargements and alterations hm been made in the scademy, designed to meet the steady inorease of puylla. These expedients, THE OMAHA DAILY costly As they twere, served the purpose wmvor-rlly At prosent the academy is un- comfortably orowded, so much 8o that no more students can ve received. To enlarge the preseat buildings would be unwise, for reasou that the area of ground is limited and an addition such as is demanded would leave the children without a piay ground. Besides the oity has become so thickly populated around the school as to destroy privacy and distract scholars. In view of these condi- tions the sisters have about decided 1o seek a new location where ample playground may be had. A number of desirable sites in the hills and glens back of the city have been examined, but no decision has been reached. The change will involve an outlay of about £100,000. ~ Tho undertaking is a serious one, especially as the sisters are financially poor. But there seoms no other road out of the dif- ficulty than a new site and a new building. Tho project means much for the educational interosts of Council Bluffs and should com - mand substantial encouragement from our citizens, Great 7 ay Sale of Winter Goods at the ] Counell Bluffs, Ia.

The meeting was attended by members of both sides, but they got along amazingly well to- gether, they all seeming to feel that 1t was not worth while proloneing the ill-feeling. The resignation was accepted unanimously, to take effect as soon as the pastor 1s paid the back salary which is still coming to him. 1t was decided to hold another business meeting next Wednesday night, at which the settlement with the pastor will probably be made.

M. Woolworth, The spacious parlors of Mrs. J. M. Wool- worth’s charming residence wereat the dis- posal of the Omaha Ladies’ Musical society yesterday afternoon. The last two recitals given under the auspices of this society were confined to piunoforte solos, the artists being Miss Neally Stevens and Fraulein Aus Der Ohe, aud consequently the program given yesterday by tho Philomela Quartette proved to be a pleasing variation, in that the worlk was entiraly vocal, The opening uumber was an arrangement of “Schubert’s Sercuade,” by Vogrich, this selection has been receptly added to the repertory of the quartelte and was rendered in a bighly artistic manner, Miss Bishop’s full rich voice was heard in the contralto solo, “Springtide,” by Becker; it was sung with true interpretation and good tuste. Miss Clara Clarkson followed in Giorza's solo, “La Prima Viola,” und immediately after with Mrs, Sunderland and Miss Bishop rendered Bargiel's ‘‘Dragon Flies," a trio which is an artistic and masterly piece of composition, and was repested at the en- thusiastic demand of the audience. Mrs. Frances Moeller sang Tosti’s beauti- ful number, **Could I.” It was the universal opinion that she was never eard in botter voice, Rubinstein’s melody in F, arranged by Yarnall as a duet was taken by Miss Clara Clarkson and Miss Bishop. It is rather an uufortunate arvangement of such a beautiful melody and reminds one more of a contralto solo with soprano obligato; it would be un- fair to the lutter to call 1t a duet. Mrs. Georzie Boulter Sunderland sang “Una Voce Paco Fa” (Rossini) in a very worthy manner. Her phrasing was tirm and finished, and her powers of “declamando” are_iucreasing. The only critioism to bo made on her rendition of this difficult aria was a slight inclinatlon to hurry in some places, which interfered with her otherwise careful breathing, The quartette ‘‘Blue Bells of Scotland,' arranged by Schilling, was a delightful end- ing to this choice program. The composition is excellent and was carefully sung; the time was good, and the voices blended together sweetly, éven in the mystic mazes of the minor harmonies. It could, however, be made more effective by having the pianis- simo passages more decidealy soft, and in one or two places a ‘‘ritaro’” could be introduced with good result. The audience was enthu- siastic over this number and enjoyed its repetition, The Ladies Philomela quartette is doing good work ana has already a very desirable reputation. It is to be hoped that they will be encouraged to increase their repertory by baving a constant demand upon it. Mrs, J. W. Cotton, who is the organizer of the quartette, played the accompaniments with excellont taste and many pleasant re- mxllrku were made on the versatility of her talent, S LT, ‘Western Roads in Trouble, Ciicaco, 11, March 5.—Western railroad men do not feel at all uneasy in regard to the outcome of the snarl into which they have got regarding rates to Kausas points.

Tor the firemen’s quadrille and sleigh bells quadrille the hall was darkened and the figures were danced 1u the changing colors of calcium lights thrown upon the floor from tho stage. After that came the unmasking and tho regular dance program of twenty- four numbers, The fostivities lasted until long past midnight. That the affair was ono of the most successiul of the many happy events given by the turnverein goes without saying, still these enthusinstic and ambitious athiotes promise even more next timo, WITHOUT ATION.
