walk-away, having a majority o
seventy-seven over Owens and 139
over Woodhurst. In the First ward
;Mr. Keith Teceived 109 votes out ot
a total of 180, thus showing that

hevers in the "favorite son' idea.
John Sorenson had no opposition
for city treasurer neither did Paul
Meyer for city engineer.
In the First ward Joseph Schatz
was elected councilman over Charley
Stamp by a majority of twenty-
eight

EOWKAI & YOUNG'S JONSXSSLS.
"Love is not what it used to be,"
so sings the poet Well, perhaps
the poet is right, for love has no
doubt, changed, as have a great
many other things. But there is
one thing in particular that has not
changed and positively remains the
same, and that is the excellence of
the entertainments presented by
'Bowman-& Young's Minstrels, who
will appear at Lloyd's opera house
April 14th. The annual visit of the
minstrels is always classed as an
event of the theatrical season, and
unusual enthusiasm has been
aroused this time through the fact
of the "always reliable" show com
ing with even a stronger company
tliair.ever'before- It would require
too much space to mention the
names of the entire company; how
ever, it is sufficient to say that an
enjoyable perfonnancexmay be ex
pected, for Bowman & Young never
disappoint.

Frank L. Terry departed this lite
April 1st, 1896,. at his home near
Nicols, Nebraska.
Mr. Terry was born October 16th
1S62, in Susquehanna county, Penn
sylvania, where he lived till after he
arrived at manhood. He then
moved to Illinois and from there to
Kansas, where he was united in
marriage to Miss Mattie Goodwin,
January 4th, 1890. In 1S93 they
came to this state, and in Septem
ber took up their residence at their
present home near Nichols.
Mr. Terry was in poor health all
ast summer and in October was
taken ill with typhoid fever and
was so low for weeks that his
friends gave up all hopes of his re
covery, but he finallv struggled
rough. Owing to an accident
which happened during his sickness
he became blind in one eye, and as
soon as he was able to travel he
went to Omaha for treatment for it,
but received no benefit. Shortly
after his return home he wa seized
with an attack of pneumonia and
after that with a complication of
diseases to which he finally rave
way. He was a great sufferer and
the loving wife and sister, the at
tending physician and kind friends
and neighbors did all that human
skill and untiring devotion could do,
bat all was of no avail, and on the
morning- of April 1st lie oassed
quietly away.
He leaves a wife and little da mrh-

DINNER FOR A PENNY.
Kew Xork Slaa Who Makes a Profit aa
"Very Chesp Victuals.
There are diners and diners in this
city of contrasts. Some men here find it
a difficnltthingtoget a satisfactory din
ner for $25; others get along nicely on
a substantial meal that costs s dimo or
less. A'nd there is at least one strange
eKttle restaurant here where a full repast
can he purchased for I cent. It is with
out doubt the cheapest eating house in
the world. This cheapest dining room
of all is huddled down in a corner al
most touching the famous Mariners'
temple of Oliver street, a block awav
from Chatham square, where streams of
people from all the f onr corners of town
pass and repass. It is little more than a
wooden hut, some 18 feet long and per
haps 7 broad, with a little addition tack
ed on to it, which serves as a kitchen.
Small as it is, however, it feeds an
average of 1,000 people in a day, 20 be
ing able tosqueezo in before the counter
at one time; on some days as many as,
1,400 have eaten there. Tramps, out
casts, vagrants and men who have fallen
so low that they will never get up iu
the world again, come daily, sometimes
three times a day, with the last copper
they have in their pockets, to drink cof
fee, munch the bread and eat the jpea
soup that constitute the bill of fare of
this most lowly of eating houses. It is a
strange congregation truly that one sees
within its narrow four walls a congre
gation of faces stamped with vice and
debauchery, of patched and xnsty gar
ments and unwashed cnticle. Women
occasionally come to this penny dining
room, but as the proprietor doesn't care
for their custom, they do not annoy him
often.
Ton ask, What can a copper buy?
Well, incredible as it may seem in these
days of lavish expenditure, three cop
pers expended at this tiny restaurant
will buy a bowl of coffee, a bowl of pea
soup and four slices of bread. A bowl of
coffee and a slice of bread, the slice cut
generously, costs but a cent For a cent,
too, a large bowl of soup is served, with
another slice of bread. A cent more will
buy two additional pieces of bread. The
bowl of soup is a full quart, the bowl
of coffee a pint
"If a man wants to eat more than
this at ono time," the little proprietor
says, "he must be a glutton." At all
events, no vagrant should starve with
one of these 8 cent dinners snugly
stowed away beneath his soiled linen.
The pea soup is rich, the coffee is cheap,
but aa good as one finds in many pre
tentious dining rooms here, and the
bread is so palatable that the proprietor
eats it himself. This 1 cent earing house
has been running fox over five years, and.
during that time hashed hundreds of
thousands. Some months tho meals
served have reached the 30,000 notch.
Kew York Letter in Pittsburg Dis
patch. NO LONGER "TRIED ON."
The Xctr InTentloa That Saves Women
from Honrs at the Dressmakers".
A clever New York dressmaker has
done away with the ordeal of "trying
on," and the gowns that come from her
establishment are no longer a weariness
of the flesh or spirit to the woman who
orders them, for tbey fit without being
"fitted," and there is no "system" of
measure and tape about the matter what
soever. It is merely an ingenious device
patented by this same clever woman of
the needle whereby any client's figure
can be copied from a perfect fitting waist
lining or waist and expanded into an
exact mold of every curve, every angle,
every peculiarity, of the original flesh
and blood form.
This woman discovered that dress
makers' systems and trying on were the
trials of womankind. She forthwith
reasoned that tho lay figure had not been
useful except for skirt draping, because
of the manifest inaccuracy of it as ap
plied to any and every figure. Some wo
men with a 24 inch waist had a 34 inch
bust measure and a length of side seams
out of all proportion. Other little wo
men were short waisted and broad back
ed. Still others were higher in one
shoulder than the other and had unac
countable hills and hollows in their
anatomy. It was manifestly impossible
that a conventional machine lay figure
should be able to assamo all the shapes
of all the women. No, each woman
must have .a mold of her own, and an
exact mold, over which bodices could be
as perfectly fitted as on the flesh and
blood woman.
The invention consists of an artistic
and perfectly fit red waist lining of can
vas, strong, but flexible, and shaped to
every line of the bodice. Into this lining
is inserted a cunning device which ex
pands it into the exact shape it was
while upon the woman, just as rigid,
just as solid, as if there was the real
anatomy inside of it, a true reproduction
of the figure. Jenness Miller Monthly.
Disappointment,
A Washington paper says that a young
lady of the Capital City met a gentle
man from a far western state at a party
in Washington. "You are not from the
far west, sir?" she said doubtfully.
"Yes. I have lived there all my life."
"Oh, I'm eo glad to meet youl"
"Thank you."
"But excuse me yon see, I've read
all the western stories, and it seems to
me that you've forgotteu something:"
"Nothing that I can call to mind."
"Why, you donTt say 'tbar' and 'look
hyar, stranger,' and use all sorts of had
grammar, and wear a pistol so that it
bulges out your coat."
"I have never done those things."
"Oh, dearl Then my idol is shatter
ed 1"
Pair Offer.
In the middle of the third act the
young woman with the big headdress
turned aroundn her seat and spoke to
the youth immediately behind her. '
"Sir," she said, "if you will change
your brand of chewing gum, I'll take
off this hat I'm getting tired-of that
idntergreen fragrance. ' ' Chicago Tribune.
