COMMENTS AND OPINIONS IN TYPE.
Whitt Ho Nop, 1 1 nun, Think unit Ini
itKlue. yNOWINO the present coiulitluu of tlio
of tho city water mid tho
wny It as liven for mouths
It would certainly kociii Hint tho city
AUtllOI'ltloH WOllld pUt II BtOJI t) HUCll llltll lllld
health Injurious lluld. Tim tnsto U nbomtil
blo audit Is bocnuo pjuplomiMf, Unit thuy al
low such shift to pass tliolr lip-. For 11 city
tho size mid pretensions of Lincoln to Imvu
such water service Is against its own interests
and damaging I" u greater extent than Is
thought or imagined. About tho tint thing
a stranger questions In tho city Is "how's
your cllmntef and next comes "Is tho water
supply K,Klt Illiro "iid hfiilthyl" Oh, yes;
just taste It; It is delicious, and tho ingredients
aside from other aro wilt and alkali. We can
never hope to a metroiolls with a water sup
ply as Is now Mug furnished.
It is nrgued that "tlio condition
of tho Mater is U'lug improved
and that they aro uow at work to
remedy tho ovil," hut thero has been tx much
work and remedying with 110 apparent suc
cess. It would seem that after ho much ex
perimenting, and so many ways alout it and
bo long endeavoring to accomplish something
that never seems to Iw fruitful, that the ex
periment would bo given up and another
plan of action tukon. Thero is a great howl
going up all over tho city about the water,
its Impurity and disagreeable taste, that it is
duo season for a halt to bo taken, Jobbery
with tho water works discontinued mid tho
people given healthy water.
t
And now after eight months of populiu ity
tho toothsome oyster makes its farewell Iww,
becking oblivion and 11 coast watering resort,
and according to tho law of tho oyster grow
er)) of tho country, no shell shall bo taken out
from Tuesday next until tho first day of Sep
tember. Howover this law is not strictly en
forced, for ns wo know In most largo cities
oysters aro 011 ice nil tho your, but they arc
not considered healthy for during tho summer
months the oyster is bred and it is not until
tho fall months that the oyster again has its
peculiar delicious flavor.
t
I am told that our over smiling friend, A.
D. Davenport of tho Millard hotel, at Omahn,
will sover his couno.'tlou with that opular
hostelry about May 15, and embark In tho
hotel business on his own hook. The Ogdeu
house, at Council Mull's, is being entirely
renovated from cellar to garret, great Im
provements are being mado and the house is
to bo opened In tho very finest stylo. Mr. Da
venport will bo associated in tlio enterprise
with a St. Louis gentleman whoso name tho
Observer does not now recollect, but who has
for several years been and is at present clerk
of tho Southern hotel of that city. Doth gen
tlemen are widely known and have an end
less host of friends among tho traveling f ra
ternlty, all of whom will do tliolr best toward
a successful career for the now firm and tho
Observer Joins tlio "gang" in wishing them
prosperity.
Money is a mighty master. For every
spendthrift in the world thero are n dozen
miserly individuals, People will toll day
and night to amass a competence, and after
obtaining that will toll day and night to dou
bio it. Thero is in Lincoln a family of Ger
mans, tho head of which has missed but a tew
days' work in ten years, while his wife has
spent as many days in toll over tho wash tub.
They aro tho owners at present of a half-dozen
houses mid lots, bringing them in an in
come of over a hundred dollars a mouth, anil
yot tho mother may nightly bo seen trudging
along tho streets with an Immense basket of
clothes for tho next diiy's wush. Such icoplo
as these aro the kind to whom money Is more
of a curso than a hlc-slug, people who do not
know when they havo enough, and exjieri
ence more pleasure in hoarding money tliun
in oxjiending it for the comforts it will bring.
In fact I am told the woman upbraided a
neighbor who hod made sufficient money nt
tho washtub to inoro than keep her in comfort
tho rest of her days, for not continuing her
labor and corrallng inoro lucre. It does, in
deed, take a great many kinds of tieople to
make a world, esjieelnUy 11 world like this wo
inhabit.

Tho CoimiKit would llko to say a fow words
to tlio KHip1o of Lincoln on tho subject of Imso
bull. There is nothing liko haw ball to make
tho town lively, and ns an advertising schema
It loats nil tho dodgers and placards ever

guarantee them against loss. It is 11 small
amount for 11 city tho slzo of Lincoln to give.
Tho men nt tho heiul of the various clubs nil
have permanent Interests in tho west, and
thero wllllw no reckless oxendlturo of good
monoy llko iast year. Gentlemen tiro now
out with subscription papers, and every ono

Everything hols. If tho people of this city
want to hoo good ball they must Hiipiort It.
Tho grounds aro in excellent shiqo, mid If tho
present team Isn't as good as the other leaguo
teams we'll get 0110 that Is. All tho manage

and they will give Lincoln a team to lw proud
of. Captain Sylvester Is in every way tlio

he can fairly revel In tho sport tills summer.
Sreclnl police watch the grounds night and
day, nnd the people In that neighborhood
who have lecu in the habit of using tho fence
for fuel had better be cnreful, ns the manage
ment propose arresting and punishing every
trespasser.
Tho gates to the grounds will bo barred for

In the employ of tho It, & M. railway. How
ever Mi. Ciimnthigs Is well KMtod In his pres
cut calling, having had several years nxerl
cneo In tho grocery Held before entering rail
road work, mid thus his qualifications and
nbllltyj to continue successfully entering to

They will icmniii for 11 short time until Mr.
Cuumiliigs becomes nqunintcd and feels com
fortably at homo In his new possession.
Tho stock Is one of the finest in the city, the

Mr. Cummings is yet 11 young man In com
merelal life mid with his energy and push wo
oxect to sco still larger additions made to
the trade that Is now enjoyed, Tho location
Is central, tlio business not In mioxitcriciiccd

A WEEK'SnEVIEWANDPnOSPECTIVE,
Amnsciuenti, Tor Next Week. What Homo
of the 1'iiTorlli'N are lloliitf.
HKATHU'ALLY sinking, the past
six nights havo not boon a brilliant
week neither has thero been any par
ticularly great hits made. Tho
closo'of the season bringing on wnrin weather
glvo theater-goers less niMllto for the play
house nnd uttrr having witnessed Mirlous
ulalsirnto productions mid seen the seveinl
extraordinary lino attractions presented dur
ing the season, tho average amusement seeker
does not so sullleleut Inducement for them
nttend what Is termed 11 general Hrst. class
play. Of Inlo several very good companies
have appeared but only to fair business, the
plays presented, however, uud the' talented
casts deserving Is-tter houses, Tho "Parlor
Match," as put on Monday night nt Funko's
by Kviins ,V Ilooy, deserved 11 full house, for
the piny nnd actors wero lioth excellent. The
Behsberg opera company, although small In
numbers, gave a very creditable rendition of
L'Kclalre, Thursday evening, but to only 11
fair house. Tho German oktii of Tuesday
evening had only n small nudleiice. Next
week tho FunkcoiMins 11 short summer season
of light comedies, at Hummer prices.
TIIK UAJAII.
"The IlnJah"at Funko's Satuiday evening
was not very well roeolvisl. Only it small
audience was present, and It was not a very
enthusiastic one. Tho plot Is rather common
place, uud towards tho close somewhat ob
scure. There Is little In tho play to commend
It to tho public, and whllo tho scenery mid
costumes weio very lino, the members of the
compnny hud littlochancoof displaying whnt
over of ability they isissess.
(1KIIMAN OI'KIIA.
Tho Thalia opera company of Omaha came
dow 11 Tuesday and gave 11 very entertaining
IKjrforiuanco at Funko's In the eenlug. "Dcr
Hummel Fritz" was the iiporn selected for
production, and each mid every member ac
quitted themselves most credlUibly. The plot
of the ojiern turns on tho adventures and es
capades of 11 wild German student, who.ufter
dlsK)sliig of his crop of wild oats, settles
down into a staid married man, Thero are
many pretty bits of comedy in the ploco
which were properly brought out, mid 011 the
whole tho performance was a very enjoynble
ono. It Is to Iki regretted there wero not moie
German siicaking people present, as they
would have boon charmingly entertained.
Till: 1'AIII.OH MATCH.
Tho attraction nt tho Fuuko, Mon day eve'i
tug wns Messrs. Kvmis o. Hcoy, tho very
funny comedians In their laughing success "u
Parlor Mutch." Like unto tho"llog Baby,"
"Tin Boldler,'' and nil of Hoyt's plays, there
is but little plot to it, but what Is lacking In
plot is made up of fun and novel sH-cialtles.
Charles Kvans tut "McCorkor" tho liook agent
is a noble creation of that famous character.
He takes tho part with all that wit nnd humor
that has made tho piece a great hit. "Old
Hoss" in tlio hands of William Hoey was
greatly enjoyed by all and Ids topic bong "I
Forgot," was loudly recalled six times. Thw
musical iiuuilx.rs were all very good and tho
choruses of the company showed excllontly
trained voices. Miss Minnie French, the "In
lioceut Kldd," was nil admired character and
took the purl of the "Captain's Angel Child,"
lu a pleasing manner, ller singing and dan
cing was applauded nnd several times
encored. In nil, the company was one of tho
best seen in Lincoln, each character liellig
well taken, mid the evening affords a clever
entertainment.
THE IIKNHIIKIKI OI'KIIA,
Tho Funko contained 11 very small aiidlenco
Thursday evening to see tho Hensberg oK'ra
company lu "L'Kclare." Tho company con
sists of but live people, four on tho stage and
tho pianist. Tlio voices wero all nlxivo tho
average vocalists, but an oera rendered
without a chorus is llku sleigh ridiiigou mini
its slelghrldlug, but under unfavorable cir
cumstances. Tlio company with 11 good
chorus would mnko a lilt, as the principals
are nil very good.
EU.NICK (lOOimiCII NKXT WKT.K.
Patrons of the Funko will rememlwr the
very successful entertainment last season, Just
about a j ear ago, of the Kuuice Goodrich
combination during their engagement. Tho
several now plays locently added to tho reper
toire will be presented and each one put on
with particular attention to scenic cITucts,
stage settings, etc.
Shaking of the company's nppcnr-uco lu
Sioux City tho Journal says; "The Kuuice
Goodrich combination made its Hat npja-ai
mice In tills city last night lu tho "Pearl of
buvoy," n druiuii of considerable merit. 1 he
high uppicclatlon of the audience was owncod
by tho close attention manifested throughout
the whole rendition, and tho hearty applause
and encores frequently given, the company
iKdng among the strongest that has of late
visited Bioux City.
Miss Goodrich displays umeh versatility ns
mi actress, (lossesslng both musU-nl nlnlit.v
and histrionic power, which ure varied and
of a much higher order than that of the slur
uctrcsscs who nro accustomed to visit this

and a combination of those qualities requisite
in 11 good uctress. In tlio fouith net, wiien
