AN OBSERVERS THOUGHTS.
COMMENTS AND OPINIONS IN TYPE.
Wlint He Hern, II rum, Think und Im
agine. FKINU having cnmo In nil Its grandeur,
(( tho season of driving ih also ushered in
III and although tlie drives In tho lintne-
''l dluto vicinity of tho business center is
not ns good as It might bo, yet tho drives in
thosubuilis nro very fulr nnil with u littlo
carocnu bo nmdo very enjoy nblo. Tho lawns
and luntl-'cnjio in general on either side, of tho
thoroughfares nro licglulng to show tho hnndi-
work of skillful artists, and ninny nro thecx-
ipiislto IkhIs of llonory loveliness that plonso
tho eye. Tho drive to Heck's grov o is not a bnd
one or tho ono southenst, passing Fitzogrnld's
clegnnt homo nnd handsome grounds Tliero nro
many nice drl es in tho city nnd surroundings
without kee)lng on O street and such othur
streets ns nro nt present torn ii for pnv lug.
Tokondrlvo to tho country nt such n season
ns tho present nnd after a hard w Inter, tho
Bccno on ovcry hand will bo welcome to tho
eye.
Approjios, sinking of driving, it Is truly
wonderful that theto hao not leen moro
horses hurt nnd accidents than has thus far
been chronicled. Tho manner in which tho
openings in tho streets nro being left whore
workmen nro relaying tho plies, is something
worthy of moro caution. In many places
tho holes nro left unprotected nnd oft times
oven vviRiout n danger light. 1 noticed on
Twelfth street Tuesday evening n vehicle go
ing south and, when within aliout six feet of
ono of thexo oitcniugs, a gentleman walking
near by yelled out with tho information that
danger was near. Tho horso w as going on an
easy trot and it was w ith but stringent efforts
that tho beast was stopixsl in time. There was
no light left or oven a piece of tlinlxr placed
across to prevent accident. Now this kind
of carelessness! will never do nnd it is the
duty of some ono to look uftor this work.
Tho negligence will cost the city n big dtimngo
lult, then, jierhnps, moro caru w ill Ihj exer
cised in protecting public life and property.
Tho Obscr er is in receipt of n lcautiful
ball program with compliments of Mr.
Jacob Mahler. Tho occasion was n closing
party tendered his classes, nnd previous to
general dancing a very elegant list of fancy
dances by his young pupls were the attractive
feature. I notice among these dances that
tho gallant professor had n number of new
dances, of his own origin. Little Rosalind
Mahler danced ono of Mr. Mahler's produc
tions known as "The Cupid Dash," nud other
littlo tots gincefully danced the "Mexican,"
"Psyche," "Bullet Hjlvin," "Dance of Na
tions," etc.
Judging from tho account of the party
given in tho Ht. Louis jupers the affair must
havobecun prominent social event. Tho Ob
server is pleased to hear that tho pnst hat
lieen Mr. Mahler's most successful season he
has over had iuHt. Iouls, and it is with pleas
uro that I extend him tho hand of welcome
hero hoping lie ma) have tho same to say of
Lincoln when ho departs.

A Popular Ilent'st.
Of tho seveiul dentists that have located In
Lincoln duilug the past two jturs, few buvo
found better fa or among their piactico than
Dr. D. 1. Powers, who lias locvntly moved
from tho apai tments over Elliott's store Into
a suite in tho handsome now Dm r block, oc
cupying Nos. tW, 07 and (W, on third lloor nt
your ) ight ns j on len o tho elevator.
Tho doctor came to Lincoln about two yeais
ngo nnd although mner having inndoii blow
about w lint he woulil or could do, has sub
utantlnlly built up n largo and valuable run
of custom, niiiong his patrons being some of
our most piomliieut cltlens, Being thorough
ly "at homo" in his calling tho iloi tor handles
tho tools with an air familiar to poisons of
long expel lenoe and w hen ho finishes n piece
of -work, it is n standing ndveitiseuient for
his establishment.
In fact thuio is nothing In dentistry that
Dr. Poweis does not mil) understand and
anything In that line fioni pulling a tooth to
tho most intricate and lluest piece of wink
will lie skillfully accomplished without pain
and at reasonable pi ices Tho npaitmeiits
hnvo been attractively fitted and furnlshisl
and in the ojierntiug room every modern ap
plinnco for tho comfort and convenience of
patrons lias lieen added. In short all want
lug flrstclnss tleutal work nnd desiring such
as will stand the test of time will do well to
call on tho doctor at (JO, U7 and IW Ilurr block
Iu gold filling and plate work of tho n
rious kinds, Dr. Powers has no suiwrlor, foi
having mado t hut biniich n specialty, he l
competent to do tho very best that skill can
do for mortals. In crown work of ninny i
kinds he shows the latest impiovcments nud '
will nlwu)H glial autee a satisfactory and at '
tiuctlyo job. '

Of Mr, WimsI'h vemlon of this play, the
Chlcngo Evening Journal su)s: "This adap
tation Is mm h stronger dramatically and a
far better piece of llteiary vroik than the
version used by lMclimil Mansllold, for he
has moro nearly caught the true spirit of tho
novel, nud by making Mr llydu Icssicpul
slvo and Dr. Jekyll more noble has avoided
causing that feeling of intense hoiror which
Malisllelil's play produced In thn minds of his
auditors, and which nindo tho latter danger
ous to persons of nervous, excitable tcmiicin-
incuts. This toning down of the diameter
or Mr. Hydodocs not Iu anyway detiact
from tho Intel est of the ioiformauce, and
ceitaiuly is truer to Stevenson's conception
of tho character as leveultsl iu tho novel,"
