The divine word which says , "Th
poor you have with you always , " is faitli
fully verified in the cage of Mr , L. N
Fierce , superintendent of the Dougln
county poor farm. A Brn roportersigni
ficd to him his desire to visit this instill
tion , and was taken out by Mr. Piorc
on Monday afternoon last. The pee
farm , as almost every ono knows , is Ic
calcd on the western boundary of thocit
limiU , nearly n mile south of Fornat
street extended. There are 100 acrei
the ono-qimrtcr of a section , in the fant
which has been used for the present pui
pose since 1850.
The house , which is a largo brick om
was erected in 1870 in a T shape
the lower story of the front bi
being used by Mr. Pierce and his famil
for their dwelling. The external nj

catod upon the laud in early territorii
days , and , having been favored with pro ;
porous times , had arranged hii world !
affairs with a view of spending n "gren
old ago. " Beautiful maples of eight o
tnn years growth surround the building
The house is of the most convenient kin
for the purpose for winch it was buill
being divided into wards and comparl
monta suitable for an institution c
this kind.
There are now sixty persons in it , wh
subsist upon public charity , abtu
twenty of whom have boon returned froi
the state asylum for the iiuano as bcin
incurable. In the poor house propo
there are four wards , which now are wol
filled with beds arranged in rows alon
the sides rif the rooms. These ward
are well provided with ventilation
and in each ono is a largo con
stove bountifully supplied with coal. Th
beds are all single ones , and have plont
of clothing and a wire mattress. At thi
present time this institution is filloi
almost to overflowing. There are twenty
five more people , Mr. Pierce says , win
ought to bo acco nmodatod there who an
now living in great wretchedness in different
foront parts of 'this city , and are boinj
supplied by him as best ho can at thoi :
homos. After looking through the several
oral wards , the store and supply roomi
with their contents , the kitchen nnd din
ing-room were visited. Those apartment :
are all in the basomont. The store am
uupply rooms were well filled with boots
carrots , potatoes and all the products o :
n fertile and well tilled Nebraska farm
In the moat room was a supply , whicl
seomcd inexhaustible , of the finest sal
pork. Their beef is slaughtered whonove :
wanted , none being 4aalted or pu
down for future consumption. Mr
Pierce intends to enlarge his accommo
dationa this summer by erecting a frami
building for a laundry. This will maki
another ward of the room now used foi
washing and ironing purposes. In thii
place he will put several cells , to bo oc
jupiod by the refractory insane. Thi
poor hero entertained are well provided
with clothing , and are kept neat am
: lean. The general appearance of every
DUO is that of comfort , the buildings

thrift and prosperity. Among th <

&f. Pierce saya it ia witli

THE OMAHA SAFE \YORKS ,
What Energy and Entemrisc Can Ae
The Safe Deposit Vault of thi
Omaha National Bank Yor-
diet of Exports ,
Tlio High Commendation Given I ) :
PrcHlileut Mlllnt-cl Largest Worker
or the Kind Kvcr Done
"Went of Cincinnati ,
About ono year ago the managcmotito
the Omaha National bank , after completing
ploting their magnificent bank building
concluded to build a flro and burgln
proof vault , the same to bo of the latcs
ntid moat approved design of our modon
time * .
In consequence the president of tli
bank invited eastern aa well oawoateri
manufacturers to compote for said labor
in which the sum of over fifteen thousani
dollars was involved.
The smallest bidders of all were ou
homo manufacturers , Messrs. Andreoi
& Vnllion , proprietors of the Omaha Saf
Works , whoso history is well known i
every leading business house in thi
state.
The time that the contract wa
awarded to the firm , the larger casten
houses raised a grand kick , and circulatcc
the report that such work , and at sucl
price , to perform in Omaha , would bo ai
impossibility ; but Androon & Valliot
wore equal to the emergency , for thoj
well know their own mechanical skill.
Below the readers of Tun BEE will fine
proof that Androon & Vallicti have :
with the aid of an export , Mr. W. B ,
Avery , of Chicago ( who drew the plans ) ,
completed ono of the largest fire and
burglar-proof vaults over constructed bj
any firm west of Cincinnati. Mr. J. 0.
Harris , the expert from Chicago , whc
put in the automatic lock , gave the fol
lowing verdict :
"It is as fine aa any , that can bo built
in the United States. Andreon & Val-
lieu have done honest work , and I can't
understand why Omaha business men
will KO away several hundred miles for
work of this kind , when they can got
bettor at home. Why , this ia ono of the
finest and most approved vaults con
structed in our modern times , for safety
and security. "
A reporter of TUB BEE , who called
yesterday at the Omaha Safe works , was
handed the following letter , which is
sufficient proof in what esteem the firm
is hold by the president of the bank , Mr.
J. C. Millard :
OMAHA NATIONAL BANK , 1
CMAIIA , 2th ! ) January , 1883. , J
Messrs. Andrccn & Vallieu have constructed -
structod the safe deposit vaults for the
Omaha National bank , which wo con
sider ono of the best pieces of burglarproof -
proof work in the United States.
The entire job was done at the Omaha
Safe company's shops of Androon fc
Vallion , in this city , where wo had op
portunities of seeing the work as it pro
gressed , under the supervision of Mr.
W. B. Avery , an expert from Chicago ,
who had many years of experience in
superintending the construction of fira
and burglar-proof safes and vaults , and
ho unhesitatingly states to us that the
material and labor vroro equal in all ro-
specta to any , if not the best , ho had
over seen. Ono vault is now open for
the inspection of the public. Further ,
wo take great pleasure in commending
the Omaha Safe company to all who
desire fine burglar-proof work or any
other work. [ Signed ]
J. 0. MILI.AUU , President.
The company's works , which are lo
cated at the southwest corney of Four-
toooth and Jackson streets , is by no
moans a small concern , as they give em
ployment to ever twenty-five skilled me
chanics.
llio construction of the bank vault was
the largest job over received by the firm ,
ind it required over thirty tons of the
Inest Chrom etool for its completion , but
think of the glory for the firm who could
rival the loading safe manufacturers of
the country.
Besides this fine job , the firm have fur-
lishpd safes and vaults for nearly all the
leading banks and county seats in the
I'Ato ' , prominent among which are the
Sjbraska National bank and the First
Rational bank , of Grand Island , and the
2iy ! of Omaha vault , the latter two novr
jciug in course of completion at their
ihops.
Beside this the firm manufactures iron
ihuttors , vault doors , jail work , iron
'oncing and wire work of the latest and
nest approved patterns.
The firm has boon established in this
sity but a few years , in which time they
mvo built up a fine reputation and a
argo trade at the same timo. They have
nado from year to year largo additions
n machinery , this year having added
ver $3,000.
Knowing the energy , skill and enter-

Inrtley Campbell's Play "Siberia"
the Opcrn HOUBO lintt
Seldom it is that so large an audience
i gathered within the walls of Boyd's
pora house as was twsomblod there last
ight to witness the first production in
jis city of Bartloy Campbell's great play
Siberia.1' ' Before 8 o'clock every seat
i the house was sold , and a largo num-
or of tickets vrero sold after the an-
ounooment of standing room only.
The play is a work of six acts , each of

J much versatility of conception aa Mr ,

ave so successful. II0 brings uo in

iul introduces us to an unfamilar
wo of creation in each of
i plays and yet „ „ fr as
, ° * r ° ttbl , ° t0 judge , by the light of his-
> ry and tradition , each it accurate to
io original. "Siberia" ia .tow of
ihilism ut RUMU , which finds Us equul
on the icy fields of the lands for whic
the drama is named. But the scenes c
intonnost interest concern the torture c
the Jew * . Th play transports .us in il
first Gcencs to the vicinity of Moscow
whore the Jew-bailing is moving sociot
to its very cnnlor. Without the slighl
cst provocation these peeplo are afllicto
without an opportunity for defense , an
the mob , infuriated and encouraged b
the officials , nro satisfied only who
bloodshed hixi sapped the life from th
unfortunate victims and fire hn
destroyed their habitations. The pla
is invested with a tale of love , s
strong that ho who lores casl
off the liberty which hn possessed , an
follows as a prisoner his life's choice t
the wilds of Siberia when she is banishc
to that inhospitable land. The cast i
exceedingly numerous , and the play dc
mands much fine and forcible acting. Th
company in whoso hands it is at preset :
reposed supplies every desirable wanl
The part of "Nicolai NaigofT is spier
didly impersonated by Mr. Atkins Lavi
ronco. Mr. Hardio Vcrnon is acceptabl
as "Ivan Nordoff , " and the acting of Mi
Charles B. Wnito as "Michael Sparta" i
excellent. Misses Emma Vndoi
nnd Adclo Bolgardo impersonat
the characters of "Mario" and "Sara ,
respectively , two half Jewish maidens o
whom much of the interest of the pla
centers. Both ladies do conscicntiou
nnd efficient acting , as they always dc
and maintain in these , the absorbin
characters of the play , an unflagging in
terest. Miss Frankie McClellau play
the part of "Vera , " a flower girl , wit
much spirit. The performance of Mj
Charles Pottis and Miss Alice Colonial !
who represent the master and daughte
of the Imperial Band , on the cornet
nlicitcd unbounded applause , and wor
decidedly meritorious.
A feature of "Siberia"
great is its superb
porb sconory. In each act , with the exception
coption of the first and second , th
scunery is changed , and especially is tin
last scene , when the harbor of Odessa i
presented , worthy of praise.
A horse and sleigh is introduced in th
fifth act , much to the amusement of thi
little folks.
As the curtain dropped at the close o
each act , the applause was fairly deafen
ing , and the audience , particularly thi
gallery portion , yelled until'their throat
were hoarsu.
