IN OMAHA.
Society in Omaha has been exceedingly dull this past week.
In fact, nearly all those who could get away have done so, but
some few have been detained by the railroad strike, and are now
only waiting the cessation of hostilities to seek lake, mountain or
ocean.
The World-Herald people must be hard pushed for gossip when
they give the first half column on their society page to the doings
of the "Thirsty" Riiles on the Fourth, (written by one of their
members.) Although this company, through a great misunder
standing on the part of the judges as to the conditions of the
drill, won first place, I very much doubt if society peoplo knew
there was to bo a drill, or knowing, cared.
General Brooke returned home last Friday in time to take
command of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific roads from
here to San Francisco.
Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Curtis and family are very anxious to get to
Okoboji and go into camp for the balance of the summer, but on
account of the tie-up can get no road to accept their freight to be
shipped.
I take great pleasure in announcing the engagement of Miss Jen
tie Yates to Mr. Everett Smith of St. Joseph, Mo. Miss Yates, it
will be remembered, was one of last year's debutantes. She is live
ly, witty and the prettiest of the three sisters. Mr. Smith, I hear,
is a very manly young fellow and well endowed with the goods of
this world, being at the heai of several largo prosperous enter
prises in his native town. To them both I extend my heartiest
congratulations.
Mr. Hamilton S. Wallace of the U. S. geological survey, who
arrived in Omaha last week, was forced to return to Washington
on Friday on account of his ill health. After a month's rest he
hopes to be able to settle down to work again, and for the balance
of the summer and fall will make his headquarters between here
and Lincoln.
Col. Pratt was registered in Chicago last Saturday.
Hot Springs, S. D.
We have been here a week and every moment has been one of
delight. This beautiful spot up in the hills coupled with the cool
weather will make Omaha's ugliness and heat unbearable. I have
been taken to endless places of interest where we drove througl
lovely canyons, forded crystal streams and climbad the lofty pinb
clad hills, all combining to make up a a varied and enchanting
scenery. The Hotel Evans, a handsomo Btructuro of pink sand
stone, resembling some old castlo on tho Rhine, with its battle
mentcd turrets, Btands out in bold relief against its rugged back
ground and is excellent in every respect far away ahead of
what one would imagine to find up here. One could pass a very
happy existence doing nothing but gaze at tho beautiful view from
its piazza, where there is always a delicious breczo blowing,
Wagons run between here and tho plunge and the Galtalicon &
Stewart Springs. Tho first is the favorito, even if it is not sup
posed to do one as much good as either of the others, and is sim
ply irresistablo to all visitors. Quite a number of Omaha peoplo aro
here. Among them are General Hawley, Miss Hawley, Mr. and
Mrs. Boggs, Mrs. BeindorfT and Mrs, Baker. Mrs. Honry M. Yates
and party, consisting of Miss Yates, Miss Bessie Yates. Miss
McKenna, Master Hal Yates, Frank Morseman, Mrs. John A,
McShano, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Hogan and and tho
Misses Burke of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Rosewater, Mr.
and Mrs. Francis of tho B. & M., Mr. Flannegan of the Associated
Press, and Mr. and Mrs. Hoke, have just gone. I have seen about
the hotel Mr. and Mrs. Griswold, nee Cramer, formerly of Omaha,
but now a resident of Hot Springs, and Mr. Harry Nutt, who
spent some years at Council Bluffs, now occupying an important
position with tho B. & M. at Edgemont. II
COLORADO SOCIETY.
The summer resorts of Colorado continue as popular as over
When there is added to a fine, bracing, comfortable atmosphere, a
vast mountain range, with lofty bights and exquisite canons, and
pictruesqu e waterfalls, there will always be found a throng of peo
pie to enjoy and explore. To bo sure the hard times are having a
visible effect, and the past week has been especially discouraging to
the hotel and boarding house keepers, as the strike has kept away
many who were expected. Tho time has just arrived, when tho
snow storms on Pike's Peak are ripe, and when peoplo who can are
most anxious to escape the heat and dust of their own homes.
Nevertheless the hotels and streets of Manitou are well tilled with
people, and the never changing mountains are being explored by
thousands. The railway to the top of the peak is a wonderful
piece of work, and patronized by hundreds. Many others continue
to go to the top on foot, thus getting the full benefit of the mar
velous scenery, and stooping to look from many an exquisite point.
It is very common to meet on the mountains, in the canons, and
Garden of the Gods, young men and women trudging along with a
haversack and a long staff, taking in everything in the most com
plete manner. The whole region about Colorado Springs is full of
wonderful places, and people who are able to walk, and have a little
time can seo everything on foot. When you go high be sure to have
a wrap. Wear clothes that can be torn or spoiled without breaking
your heart. Be sure you have good tight shoes, an umbrella, and
a good stick, then walk and ask questions. On the streets and
about the hotels the ladies nppear in elegant costumes, and if any
inference is to be drawn from their appearance, it is that they never
had an introduction to hard times.
Judgo M. B. Reese and family are living half way up Pike's Peak
Miss Lillian Upham, formerly a teacher in tho Lincoln schools is
at Manitou.
George H. Wedgwood and family aro in Denver.
A. Hurlbut and Tobias Castor accompanied by a number of ladies
visited Denver last week.
J. D. McFarland is in Colorado.
