SECOND WEEK INLENT PROVES DULL INDEED Dioner Dances Cause thurnings and Dire Quarrels—The Women Who Have Contributed to the Flag—Chat of Well Known People. Soclety is In the doldrums. There have been few affairs in the social world, and these have been supon a small scale, conso- nant with the season of +Lent. The smart set are resting from their arduous labors of the pre-Lenten season and gathering strength for the after-Easter period, which at present does not hold out any glittering promises, There is also a tendency on the partof cer- tain society leaders to draw the imaginary line which separates the sheep from the onts still closer, and the outcome is being Watched with considerable interest by the followers of Dame Fashion. Much of this condition is largely due to the dinner dances which were given before Lent, and the heart burnings and dire quar- rels rosulting from the attempt to draw a Line between the elect and nonelect are still | fresh in the memory. 5 The fact is, the dinner dance has furnished too convenient 1se to “draw the line not to have been eagerly se clusive “hundred or so of socie But other sets will take up this latest fad and by next winter it will undoubtedly be such i general form of entertaining that it will cease to be pecul 1y distinctive.

Ostrom, who have lived in Omaha for twenty-two years. Many intimate friends to whom the deceased had endeared herself feel a keen sense of per- sonal bereavement at her death. She was a lady of most lovable traits of character, of heerful disposition and was a_special favor- ite socially among an_unusually wide circle of acquaintances and friends, to whom her death comes as an irreparable loss. e e His Faith WellFoun ded.

Brice & Wasson, general agents for the Manhattan Life Insur- ance company for Nebraska and western Towa, have taken a suite of elegant rooms in the Bee building, Nos. 244 and 246, The rooms are in one of the most pleasant spots in the building, com- manding a view of the south and eastern Knl'lnnftlu' city. A great deal of tast as been displayed by Messrs, Brice Wasson in the selection of the furniture and other office ornamentations, and all together the Nebraska general offices are in perfect keeping with the good name the Manhattan Life hasso long enjoyed. Jrice & Wasson have associated with them John Madeira and Louis Kells as agency supertendants and @ number of other Life men. They hold out ex- traordinary inducements to good men to act as district, lccal and traveling agents and consequently secure the best services in the country. Mr. Brice's business connections in Texas are being rapidly closed up so that he can be on the ground to assist Mr. Wasson, who has been here for some time. As to the company which these gentlemen so ably represent the best proof of its good standing is its own statement, which appears in another column of this issue.

In 1858 he was henored with an appoint- ment as secretary of the territory and a few months later, on the résignation of Governor Richardson, he became acting governor, in which position he was displaced by Presi dent Lincoln, who apppinted A.

The war came on, his party was in the minority, his opponent contested the seat and he was ruled out because of irregularities. At the urgent request of his wife he re- fused all nominations for the next fiv PATS, but in 1866 the democr: state convention unominated him for governor, although he was not_present and had not sought the honor. Nebraska had just been admitted as a state and he accepted the nomination. ‘The honor of being the first governor under state organization was hotly contested, and Mr. Mortou had a majority of 145 votes on the face of the returns. The republicans found irreg: ities in Cass county and suc- ceeded in having 160 votes thrown out, with the result of electing David Butler. When the legislature met the democrats gave Mor- ton a-unanimous voto for United States sen- ator, T. W. Tipton had 28 republican “Fotes to his 21 democtatic. Again Mrs. Morton besought her husband to eschew politics and decline nomination for ofice. He gave the desired pledge and kept it sacredly until after her death in 1881, The next vear the democrats again nom- inated him for governor. and two years later he was called on once more to lead a forlorn hope, but on a tariff reform issue he doubled his yote. Last fall he for the fourth time, at the practically unanimous demand of his party, became its standard bearer because he was believed to be its strongest leader, but defeat was foreordained. Mr, Morton was a commissioner at the Centenniul exposition and was appointed to represent Nebraska aris exposition, He has been a le: t in the state agricultural and hor ociations, and to him is accorded the glory of having ginated Arbor y, which likely to -y his name down to fame when his polit- ical achievements will have been forgotten.

That was the organized beginning of Arbor day, and two years Jate Furnas issueds a proclamation setting aside a holiday for tree planting. Since then many western states have adopted the idea and made the annual event a legal holiday.
