Yesterday mornlne nil signs of disorder
about the Northwestern passenger depot had
vanished , and things were running , if possi
ble , more smoothly than on the day before.
All the vacancies that were made hy the
summary discharge of Iho docn switchmen
on Thursday mornlne had been filled. The
trainmen had been performing the switch
men's duties in accordance with an acroo-
incnt that had been entered into by them and
the company when the fractious hands were
discharged. The men who wore appointed
to 1111 the vacancies were without an excep
tion experienced railroad men , most
of them having been connected
with the Northwestern In some ca
pacity or othor. Among them were several
who had been engaged In the nrosi > cctivo
strikn. The fact li pointed to by the ofllclals
of the roud to show that the move was made
out of a deslro to rcorgani/e the department
rather than to make war on any sot of men.
In everv case the applications of the men
who wanted to be put in to llll the vacancies
were considered simply with respect to the
qualification * for the position , and the ques
tion of tholr previous record was not taken
Into consideration at all , that is , If the state
ments of the olllcmls can be trusted im
plicltlv.
Fred U'l-strlp was appointed to the posi
tion of yaidmmtcr. Ho was formerly con
nected witti the Northwestern at this point ,
but was removed in order to make seem fora
conductor who had lost an nrm In the service.
He was sent to Boonc , but after n short
service ho was discharged upon the demand
of the Hwitctimen's union , Wrstrip beluga
non-union mmi. The fact of his appointment
is considered a fair indication of the policy
that may bo expected to bo taken by the
company in the future.
Oeneral Agent M. .1 Alworth said yester
day : "In the past the switchmen have had
everything their own way. Every demand
that they nave made has been conceded , but
we Inwo called a halt. The men who have
been appointed understand that they are ex
pected to obev ' , and not to command , and I
don't think'wo will have any trouble with
them. There was no agreement inado be
tween them ami the comp my , but it is un
derstood pretty perfectly , I think , Just how
matters stand. "
The move is universally conceded by rail
road men to have been ono of the boldest
that has ever been made by any railway com
pany toward Its employes. Wlion the switch
men wore discharged , the ofllcinls nt this
point had not the slightest Idea whom they
would put In to 1111 the vacancies. Had it
not been for the fact that the war was onn
between the switchmen on the one side and
the company and tlio trainmen oil the other ,
the company must have been badly crippled
and the public subjected to considerable an
noyance. But the trainmen wont In nnd
worked with n will , nnd the tesult wns tnnt
the work was done without a hitch.

HAI.OON KKii : iilS MUST PAY
Klnc tlio Injunction Ijiuvycr Won't
( Jut HIS I'VCH.
A decision has been rendered by Attorney
General John V. Stone which will prove of
Interest to all who nro in any way interested
in the enforcement of the prohibitory liquor
law , nnd especially so to these who are taking
an actlvo part In the closing of the saloons ,
The decision was In reply to a list of ques
tions which wore sent to him by S. 1 * . Van
Dyke , county auditor of IJoriton county.
One point which was raised was whotlnr
an attorney who had succeeded in getting a
defendant convicted of the offcnco of main-
talnlng a nuisance , and in having the cus-
ternary attorney ices taxed uu to the con
vli-tcd party , could hold the county responsi
ble for the lees in case tlio salaonUcepor had
no money and had to pay his line by board
ing it out in the county Jail. In answer to
this question , the attorney cener.il said that
thu attorney fees were not mentioned among
the other fees in such c.iscs which by law
nro to bo taxed up airainst the county , and
that It wns his opinion tnat if it had been
the Intention of the legislators to nllow the
attorney fees to bo taxed up In that way It
would have been so s tiled U. Iho law.
A second point was whether a county at
torney was entitled to his usual poi cent of
the fees in cases which ho had not helped to
prosecute. The attorney general decided that
lie was.
The third point wns , when a flno is Im
posed but not paid until after January 1 ,
when the county attorney who pre.sscuted
the case has retired from ofllco and his suc
cessor has taken his place , winch attorney Is
entitled to the fees , the ono who prosecuted
0t
the case or the ono who Is in olllco at the
0I
time the line is paid ! The decision of the attorney -
torney general was that the county attorney
who held ofllco at the time the line was im
posed ' was the ono who wns entitled to the
I'I The . last two questions are not of so much
I't
Importance I , save to county attorneys
throughout the state , or to the members of
the county boards who have to nllow the fees
to the county attorneys , but the llrst is of
moro L'eneral Interest. It is thought that the
decision of the attorney general In regard to
that point , whllo It doas not carry with it the
force of the absolute law , will yet have a
great deal to do with keeping lawyers nnd
others from going Into the saloon closing
business for the solo purpose of making what
fees they can out of the saloonkeepers. It has
heretofore been thought that the attorney
fees can bo taxed up to the county la case
they cannot bo collected from the convicted
parties I , but the fact that the fees must bo
jiaid by the convict or by no ono will un
doubtedly bo adopted as the rule of action by
the county boards throughout the state , and
will consciucntlv ( put a stop to a largo per
ccntngo of the Injunction business that is in
dulged in in the cities.

Change < > ( ' Management.
The Hotel drain ! changed hands yesterday
at noon , the firm ol Cragin & Co. stepping
out nnd the linn of Kimbali & Champ stop
ping 1 in. The change created but little sur
prise , ns it has been nn open secret for
several days past that such a change would
bo inado soon. Ever since last Sunday
rumors of various sorts have been lloatlng
around the city , and have been discussed
freely on the street corners. These rumors
were not at all complimentary to the man
agers of the hotel , but as they were unsub
stantiated by proof It was dccUcd that the
best thing for the hotel , the city , and all
other parties concerned , was that nothing
should bo done by the owners of
the building which would add to
the publicity of the matter , but
that the managers should step quietly down
and out.
Ever since the hotel was opened it has
moro than paid expenses. That this was so
was a surprise to the owners , as it was sup
posed that , it would bo necessary to run it at
a loss until its reputation should bccomo es
tablished. But Instead of that the books
have shown nn amount of business that sur-
passed all expectations and compared very
favorably with the Omaha hostolnes.
i > iussrs. Kimbali & Champ managed affairs
from noon until last evening , when the an-
nounceinent was inado that the management
of the hotel had been offered to Mr. George
T. 1'hclps , and hnd been accepted by him.
Mr. Phelps was formerly connected with the
Ogdcn house , at a tlmo when it wns in thu 1
height of its glory , and is well nnd favorably
known to traveling men throughout the
stato. Mr. E. A Troutman was appointed
head clcrkand thu now force took possession
nt once.

"Whore do nil the poods fjo ? The
many tuains und oinplojes needed to con
duct so largo nn establishment. Younjj
folks just starting housekeeping.
It is easy to catch ft stifrgostion of the
way ir. which it is possible in such n
largo establishment as The People's
Mammoth Installment Company to got
any sort of household goods not only on
an easy and convenient credit , but at
prices quito as moderate as nt any of
the casli houses nnd often oven lower.
The immense storage space nt com
mand enables the linn to buy goods in
very largo quantities , nnd being a center -
tor frequented by so many tlio goods tire
rapidly turned over. Such largo qunn
titles us nro purchased by The People's
Mammoth Installment Company com
mand largo dlscounts.nnd Unit of course ,
means lower priced for the mirehnsor.
This is illustrated in regard to furni
ture , probably the most expensive of the
departments dealt with. Men wore seen
on Saturday bringing in immense num
bers of largo nnd queer looking parcels
nil carefully padded and packed in
the most careful nml scientific manner.
It proved to bo u carload of furnitures
coining in.
'Is this anything unusual1" the in
telligent mid well informed head of Unit
department was asked.
"Not nt nil , " was the reply ; "wo al
ways buy furniture by tlio carload , nnd
moreover , take the entire product of
several largo furniture manufnetorius in
different parts of the country. " Point
ing to a very attraotivo and nrtistio
group of parlor furniture ho added :
"You HCO that $ lo sot of furniture in
seven pieces so exquisitely upholstered.
\Voll , many whndor how wo can fcoll it
nt that price. Tlio fact is wo are the
only houno that has it ; wo take nil that
can bo manufactured , and by rapidly
disposing of it nro able to sell it nt that
moderate llguro.
The several parts of tlio building of
The People's Mammoth Installment
Company's establishment devoted to fur
niture make it look like n number of
good-sized furniture establishments hidden -
don away under ono roof. There is furniture -
nituro botli in front and roar
of OK ! , in the front nnd roar
of U15 , Immense areas of furni
ture in ttio front nnd back basements ,
acres of furniture stored on the upper
floors , and furniture- the landings of
the stairway and almost all over the
houso. Ono of the leading buyers for
the concern commenting on this
said : "I am often astounded
at the way in which such
masses of furniture appear and
disappear in an establishment like this ,
You como here today and you sco n long
line of bedsteads , nn nvalancho of chairs
and n perfect kaleidoscope of household
furnishings. You come tomorrow nnd
they nro all gene and others have taken
tholr place different in style and finish
nnd wholly unlike thorn in form. They
ulllor ua much as does ono trco from
nnothor or as thw'individual ' designs ,
drawn , by dllloron'l"artists. Ono \uoU
there may bo morb vjilnut. nnothor o.tk

coming in , I wondj-V where wo tire going
te put it or whordll is going to go , but
in an liu'rcdlbly h'liprt tfino it vanishes ,
I cannot toll how harwhoro. "
What ho said was well illustrated b iv , a
circumstance that occurred whllo ta .Ik-
Ing. As ho was about going un stairs
with the writer of thisnrllclo ho pointed
out ono of the late t novelties in bed
room . convenience yet devised. It was a
folding bed that combined a bureau and
di cnso and wardrobe. It was in
ll ! oak and really a wonderful con
trivance. There was u revolving glass
nnd adjustable drawers , by means of
which n man could shnvo in bed or n
lady make the preliminaries of her toilet
before arising. Then with ono move
ment ! the bed was closed , the wardrobe
opened ] and n complete dressing case on
tlio other sldo disclosed- When alto-
got - shut up thoalTair with its plato glass
mirror doors and graceful outlines was
ns ( ! ornamental a piece of furniture as
could ( bo scon anywhere. The price was
$100. Grouped * with it wore several
other handsome articles. After a sur
vey of tlio departments up stairs , lo and
behold ! on coming down a transforma
tion had taken itlaco. The ingenious
piece of household mechanism had boon
, sold , and being required Immediately
by some ono wanting to have a homo
celebration of their own , had been
shipped and was on the way homo along
with other articles that had stood near
it.

Her Interest In tlio lleuutU'ul
Now Available for KtirnlMliliii ; .
Interesting as it is to a man , the great
credit establishment of The People's
Mammoth Installment House is oven
moro so to the ladies , who always have
had the greater share in homo build
ing , for while the man provides it is the
housewife who furnishes and preserves.
Usually she is the moro economical
member of the family. From collar to
the topmost lloor there is not an inch of
this great cosmopolitan ba/.aar that does
not appeal to woman and her domestic
aspirations for a cheerful and comfort
able home.
And in this connection it is not Inap
propriate to consider that , no matter
what her nationality , it is woman who
has j exerted the greatest influence in
bringliitr about not only the develop
ment in the beauty of the belongings of
the home , but in fostering and extend
ing the keen appreciation which brings
them into such general application.
The influence of , women in bringing
about all these , .modifications of the
household menage has been a powerful
ono. From the -diiy when religious in
fluences succeeded tin prevailing upon
the barbarous man , who was in tlio hab
it of making himself the husband of as
many wives as ll .could alTord to care
for , to imitate his neighbor , who was the
husband of but ono wife , they made the
marriage ceiemony a thing of splendid
note , with the urte of their most sacred
and memorable rite's.
From that hofiFhomo became sacred
and developed into a shrine of beauty ,
where sanctified ( injection sat enthroned.
Possessing the ability to manage her
husband's" alTairsinnd to entertain his
guests , the mistress of the place , having
her way in most things not unreason
able , soon came to win him to procure
for her all the garniture that rumor
whispered her some other lord had
brought his dame from the Levant , from
the Moors in Spain , or , later , out of Bur
gundy. And so she procures , piece by
piece , her square of carpet that has come
all the way from Persia to bo sold in ono
of the yearly fairs not too far off ; hoi-
. flowered leather from Brabant , to hang
before ' the high hack of the great elab
orately carvo'd scat , to got which and
her rioblo dresser inado she had such
ado. She would not have had much dif
ficulty , though , in her work had her per-
honal influence been less ; for there were
few nobles of any importance who , be
fore the end of the fourth Crusade , had
not made their journey into the east ,
or into Africa , and had not be
come accustomed there to unheard of
splendor , had not admired and desired it
themselves , had hot brought homo such
things as wore transportable , and when
they had told their wives the story , it
was' for the women to m-ocuro the rest
for themselves. All this household
dnintinesd and elegance as revived in
modern times is to bo been exemplified
in tlio comprehensive display which The
People's Mammoth Installment House
has arranged with so much taste and
public spirit.
No greater mistake could bo made
than to suppose that the majority of this
furniture is common stutY , glued boards
that como apart under the exigencies of
heat and knock-around wear. An hour
in The People's Mammoth Installment
House's establishment will convince
the most skoptlc.nl that it is not the taw
dry any common that people who pur
chase on credit or installments as a rule
select. On the contrary the purchasers
who draw a little on the future , and ask
that their earning capacities bo taken
into account as an element of credit ,
usually seek to got things of the better
class , things that will last and
have serviceable qualities as
well as enduring beauty. Scat
tered through the great establishment
and especially in the art furniture rooms
"
on the second" lloor of the now building ,
there nro to be found as handsome pieces
of furniture as may bo KOOII in any gen
eral collection in the best establishments
of the city. 11
Interesting as.is the extensive furniture -
turo display in theillloor below it is all
eclipsed b , ' the ulegnnt examples of the
skilled upholBtorbr'H art and the attract
ive designs in woofl and brass and other
combinations on the lloor above. Jus tut
the head of thiS ! stairway Is a suite of
Parlor Furniture , cpvorod with the llnest
Axmlnster Hugs , , Aho price of which is
$ t.i ! : ! ; while the lirdt suite , no two pieces
alike , and all covered with the tlnest
Silk Hrocntelle' ' in blue , ecru and old
pink , winch forms such a striking part
of the furnishing of the moilol imrlor , is
marked SUii/i. / Each suite contains live
pieces. The Hoofs > of these bijou apart
ments are rug-coyored , and Onyx Tables ,
Elegant Cnbinuts.i holding bVic-a-brac ,
Doulton and other China , and Hanging
Pictures and Graceful Portieres and Cur
tains , all add to the attractive and artis
tic conception of what n pretty parlor
can bo inado.
OHoyond , on the loft , is n library , the
full suite of which Is marked $75. All
the dntails there are also carefully
thought of. It is a spot full of suggcs-
tlvoness. To so many the library moans
much moro than the parlor a pluco
where history brings up the past , where
science pours out her secrets , whore the
great travelers of the earth sit down and
speak to you , the gosslpors of tlio courts
whisper from behind their pages and the
monarchs of the Intellectual world stop
down from their thrones nnd become
our familiars. Fashion varies in the
shape of bookcases as in every thing ol o ,
but for these who do not care to build
fixtures into a house the portable book
case is most advantageous , and the bookcase -
case combined with the writing desk
most convenient. On the first , lloor in
the 021 store therenro a great variety o
bookcases , some high and somu low , nnu
some ho arranged that with a comfort
able desk in the middle the bookcases
project on each side nnd tire made avail
able without moving from the scat.
There are also a great diversity of
library chairs , varying in price nnd
suited to the greatest diversity of taste ? .
To the thoughtful observer , whether
or not intent on purchase- ramble
througirsuch a largo aim complete es
tablishment as that of The People's
Mammoth Installment House , with Us
avenues of elegant and serviceable tie-
ccsforlos of the homo , its congrega
tions of chairs , its accumulation of bed
steads and bedding and folding beds and
nn aggregation and variety of almost
every Known article of furniture be
longing to the household , it is in the
highest degree interesting to contem
plate the s-jggcstlons of achievement in
the way of human comfort which they
convoy.
Though furniture may not bo as im
portant as temples or monuments , It has
taken eras full of intense human inter
ests in the movements of the world to
produce these things. Kcllcs ol the
crusades and of the renniriinnco may bo
soon in the forms ot a single chair.
Great have been the change" , since in
Gothic times in the one great hall used
for every service there was buta single
chair , occupied In variably by the master
of the house , and never surrendered by
him except to some superior. Uncom
fortable though it was , " and not to bo
compared with some of the oa\v affairs
at Tlio People's , In which one
sinks at once into a do/.e , it was
nevertheless the scat of honor.
Remarkable has boon tlio revolution ,
since evoti the prosperous ate tholr
meals from a cloth spread on the lloor
while partially supported by cushions , of
which the fautoitil remains a relic.
Throughout the first floor , but moro os-
po-hilly in the buildings OIo , 017 , ( > ! !
North Kith street , there is to bo found
at The People's Mammoth Inslallmont
House's great establishment such a di
versity of household furnishings as is
seldom soon under ono roof. Everything -
thing that belongs to the comfort nnd
convenience of a homo , from a stove or
the humblest kitchen utensil to statuary
or richly upholstered divans and lace
curtains , are to bo found here , not re-
btrlcted for the wealthy alone , but
available to all and the most moderate
income by moans of the credit system.
Tlio array of attractive furniture takes
in a variety of styles , as well ns diversity
of forms , nnd any one wishing an ex
quisitely upholstered parlor lounge , the
equal in style of those in the very llnest
houses , can have it as easily as the
plainest and most practical dining room
chair.
It is no unusual thing for young people
ple just beginning housekeeping to bo
furnished throughout entirely from The
People's Mammoth Installment House's
establishment , as they find it much
moro convenient , can make satis
factory arrangements and can have hot
ter facilities by selecting everything
needful at one place under the same
roof.
Many a pretty and happy homo has
had its beginning in H. llosenthnl &
Co.'s establishment , and many who have
started in this way have continued deal
ing there , getting everything needful
for the family as tlio years went by.
The situation of the establishment on
this main business thoroughfare , with
tlio Ilanscotn park and Twenty-fourth
street motor cars passing the door every
few minutes , within ono block of tlio
South Omaha and Shot-man avenue mo
tor cars , within a live-minutes' ' walk
from the terminus of the Council Bluffs
motor , makes it the center , to which not
only the people of Omaha , but hundreds
from various parts of South Omaha and
Council BlulTs , etc. , find their way.
Indeedit may bo said that the conven
ient credit of The '
system People's Mam
moth Installment House has fully as
great an appreciation outside of Omaha
as in it. The number of regular cus
tomers from Council BlulTs and otho'-
parts of Iowa has been increasing with
ovcry year , and no other trade has been
found moro mutually satisfactory.
If the exterior of this extensive estab
lishment is prepossessing and a key to
the ( thoroughly businesslike and com
prehensive j character of the transactions
of the concern , the interior is oven
more so.
The vast spaces occupied by single de
partments ; the hundreds of bedsteads ,
the thousands of chairs , the vistas of
curtains , the avenues of wardrobes , the
tiers of tables , extending quite as far as
tlio eye can easily measure , and the
whole interesting aggregation broken
and varied hero and there by displays
of pictures , exhibits of bronzes and
statuary , make up one superb and bo-
wildorihg spectacle of the artistic in
dustrial achievements of the present
day , made at once available to the most
ordinary means , that when scon makes
any ono glad that ho or she is livlni ? in
this favored ago and the favored land
they are.
sA farmer is a curiosity in many South Da-
ola towns these duys , but ho will not bo so
