WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1894. Despite the rain, quite a large crowd -nnrtook of the EUDDer served br the i5' ladies of the Episcopal Guild last even- i Manager Liloyd has booKoa oneo: Chas. Frohman's New York companies to play "Lady Winterer's Fan" here on Tune 7th. This has been one of the great eastern successes. A half dozen Jagle bicycles wore received at Evansbook store yesterday, " several of Tvh'ich.are beauties. They are of different make from any others in town, but are a standard wheel. Providing the weather is suitable the Gordon silver cornet band will give its initial street concert Saturday even ing next at the corner of Spruce and Sixth, commencing about seven o'clock. It is said that the Chas. A. Gard ner Co. carries with it a 83,000 St Ber nard dog. This 18 a little higher valua tion than mine host Bews places on his animals, but in the case of the former it in probably for show purposes only. and'the prices would not bo so high if " the assessor wanted them. Mayor "Warner, Claude Weingand, "P. H. Sullivan, Martiu Gross and John Sullivan went to Grand Island this " HBerning to attend the Sun Peace Dance of the Crow Tribe of that city. The North Platte warriors will present to the Grand Island public the farco they rendered at Lloyd!s opera-house a month or two'ago. The rain of last evening was a good starter, and now that the drouth is broken precipitation i3 likely to follow at more frequent intervals than has been the case durinc the past eicht or ten months. Yesterday's downpour, which was accompanied by quifo a little hail, seemed to reach over quite a scope of - territory. ' If you want the handsomest patterns of Wall Pnoer calL at once and make your selections, they aro gomg fast at J. E. Evans' Book Store. From tho way tickets are selling, there .promises to be a largo audience at Miss Farnswortb's 'entertainment - at Keith's hall next Saturday evening. The young lady has devoted much time and pains in drilling the children and misses taking part, and the closing farco will aloae be worth the prico of admission. ' The tickets are twenty-five cents, a price so low that all can afford to attend. Mayor-elect VonGootz is besieged by a small army of applicants for tho mar abalship and the position of night police. Mr. VonGootz made no ante-election pledges and is thcreforo in position to nominate the men who in his opinion will mako the best officers. As .a num ber of excellent men have applied for .tho positions, it may be a littlo difficult for the in-coming executive to cake a Maleciion., , . -Additional evidesce of the urgent need of new chol. building was fur aisfeed Monday when several pupils in tha First rard rooms "were sent home fceoause of lack of seating capacity. The parents of these children pay their mite toward the support- of the- Schools and vjatly feel that their offspring should )tVe the full privileges of tho schools. -It;ls quite probable that arrangements will be made imtnediato'.y whereby the , children in question can bo accommo dated. On Thursday, May 3d, being Ascen- sion day, Bishop Graves will make his regular spring visitation to the Church of Our Saviour.

In the evening confirmation and the Bishop's sermon and address, and in the afternoon thore wii'l probably bo a special service for " Knights Templar, when it is hoped that Rev.

The following day's Omaha Bee: is taken from Monr 'iColonel Cody met with a warm reception at Sheridan, Wyo., at the hands of the pcopld thero, an in formal ball being given at tho Sheridan house in His honor. During an interval in the dance program Miss Irma- Cody recited a poem written by Captain Jack Crawford. Mifs Cody is an accomplished elocutionist and recited the poem very effectively. A pair of beautifully en graved souvenir spoonB were presented to Miss Irma Cody and Miss Clara Bo:il, Golpnel Cody's daughter and grand: daughter. Ifon. M. L. Blake made tho presentation address. Colonel Cody made an appropriate response." A number of farmers living in Cot tonwood, Gaslin and Peckham precincts have completed the organization of a cewpany and subscribed sufficient money j to have a preliminary survey mado for "am irrigation ditch on the south side of the river. We believe the intention is " tt4p the river at a point in Mylander -precinct" and run thence east to the j Dawson county line. Silas Clark, P. B. Bloom and Etnil Erickson are the officers of the new company, and being progres ''ire mon, there is little doubt but they will push the canal to r. finish if the survey proves the enterprise practical, and of this thero is littlo doubt Though tho street commissioner has probably exercised due diligence in notify ing-lot owners to remove garbage , .from the alleys, tho instructions have not been obeyed in -but few instances, and he will probably have to adopt more ".stringent measures. During the prc . -i,tracted dry and cold weather this refuse has not made itself particularly offensive -butwith the advent of warm weather Si" qd. probable rams, the atmosphere will - n j :t ii MU4U: l i pleasant and charged with sufficient poison to cause much sickness.

While in tqvrn. yesterday a prominent farmer of Logan county announced that there was a movement on foot toward haying that county annexed to Lincoln county.

The train consisting of twenty-seven cars pulled pass the depot to the east end of the yard, remained there about ten minutes, when another engine was hooked on and the commonwealers continued their journey eastward. The number in the command numbered, according to one of the lieutenant's statements, thirteen hundred which estimate, from the crowded condition of the cars was prob ably not overdrawn. As might be ex pected the members of the army pre sented quite a dusty and begrimmed appearance, which would lead many to believe that a majority of them were hoboes; but this is to a great extent a mistake a very large part of them are laboring mep and tradesmen whp were attracted to California last fall by the building of the Mid-winter fair build ings, but found the labor market over stocked: Each car contained a company with' the usual officers; and.it was appar ent that a stricVmifita'ry discipline was maintained.

At the council meeting Monday evening Eeveral of the saloon1 men-' ap peared and asked what action' had 'been taken on the petition signed .by eighty five tax payers asking that tbe'ocgupa tion tax ordinance be reconsidered.

This was .a little dis appointing to the Baloon men, but theyJ took the medicine witbr apparfeh good grace. There is a rapaw but' we' pros sume ittlei oredence should be gven it that the saloon men .will close "their places of business orbibe nightyef :the: 30th inst, and remain' olesed tott a few days until it is ascertained whether, tho new council will not amend, tbjr present ordiqan.ee andeduoe the occupation tax to 82S0 a year.

The, Teachers' Meeting, The second annual mooting of the 'Western Nebraska: Teach era' Association to be held at Keith's hall on the 27th and 28th inBt, will undoubtedly be well amended by teachers from the several counties.

With t.KTfl hliifin.t in vinw the western Nebraska associaiion was iormea iubi year, uiiu iuo :first?meeting held at Ogalalla proved a very-interesting and profitable one.
