Tlio llbornllty of Amcilrnti jicoplu In a well
known fact utiiong nil nations anil It must bo
admitted tlint t IiIh Inn reputation to Ik) proud
ot, but It Is tint cnuso of much sorrow anil
misery in many instances. The subjiet of
treating Is tlio ono to which I rofir ami ax-id
it nut for tills ovll many of our 1 est lu-n ami
brightest youths would tread tlio paths of vir
tuo anil righteousness instead of ono of dogro-
datiou and misery the only end to which Is a
l)mior's grave. For Instance, a crowd of
friends assemble leforo u bar to have a social
glass. Instead of each settling for his own
poison, tliu generous spirit of one rises and hu
foots tho bill, another, whether it is for his
guncrousness, or n wish to bo culisldeicd so,
follow 8 suit and has tlio glasses l elllled. The
others nru not to bo outdone and by tlio tlnio
tlio round is iimdo tlio punishment of tlio
amount of spirits drank causes n reviving of
their spirit. 1 ho natural consequence fol
lows. Too iiuich space cannot be given this
subject nnd were the laws euforcoil the sight
of u drunkard would lion raiity. The laws
of Nebraska prohibit tieutlug. How many
men would you (hid going to the bar alone
and taking several drinks! Ono would satisfy
him, or two nt best. I do not pretend to In- u
temperance epostlo, but facts are facts and n
moment's meditation will ccitaluly sulllce to
liavo you agree with my statement.
What a vast difference is to le noticeil in
tho condition of our prliicinl thoroughfares
today from that of two years ago. At this
season our streets were always either lougldy
frozen or horribly dilapidated and muddy.
It is qulto a relief to look at them today and
to compare the condition of by-gone days
with tho present. I recollect of nil incident a
Httlo over n year ago, when a heavy load of
freight was being hnulcsl on Kust O street.
Four strong horses could not pull the wagon
out of the sticky situation and it took over
half n day to loosen tun wreck. Toilay lo-uls
doublo as heavy go freely over tlio smooth
surface, cnrrlnges roll ovor tho strecto like
well oiled machinery and as for tlio pleasure
Hookers in riding or dilving they certainly
best of all can appreciate the improvement.
Tho city bastions well in the paying matter
nnd if us much is uccompllHlied in tho next
two ycara as in the same period past, theie
should Ixj no cause for complaint. I take this
opportunity to extend congratulations to the
city fntheis for their good woik, for it has
been well done, nnd wish them continued good
fortune for further oiwrntlons.

purtlctiluily attractive feature of the gallant
repnosentutivo's make-up. From the gnller
ies tho fulr sox look down to admire the silky
flow-of nature's gifts and as he ieoscs In his
easy chair in the lower house, casually comb
lug out his handsome locks with his llugeis,
the guy assemblage of female beauty that Is
nearly nlwnysseen watching him, his brother
rep's nnd other male friends cannot fall to
appreciate his enviable situation. "Dick"
has a flue Laird and w ns it not for my modesty
I would venture to ask him how- ho got it and
If ho could not "put mo on" how to get one as
handsome.

Tho most pleasant minor I hnvo heard for
a long time is tho ono that is now circulated
nliout tho Observer's genial friend, John II.
Wright. Dame rumor has it that he is just
now figuring on how many more duys it will
bo until the huppy event takes place an I of
courso ovcry day is so much nearer n llfo of
bliss and happiness. Customary with usual
modesty and rosiiooting phslges made to in
formant, I cannot give her name, hut it is
said she is u most charming person uiid just
such a ouo as will do credit to John II. 'h ex
cellent judgement. Ascongtntiilations aiuin

compliments of tho oeciisslon.

If tho horse that was in tho mail service of

A mnRquerndo ball wns given nt tho Expo

the elite of the German society and Its daiiccs
nre usunlly well attended, this ulfnlr lioliig no

worthy of noto were Julius Meyer us Monte

all the western plctiiresipieness and many
others which spnoo forbids mentioning. The
piogram consisted ot twenty-four dances and
the excellence of tho music tended greatly
toward making tlie evening's euteitulmueiit

Milking it (Joint Iteeonl,
Since establishing in this city but a short
time ago, Mr. Townscinl, of the Elite Studio,
bus made n big success of the entei prise. In
ids studio may be seen at all times n gathering
of our leading citizens and fiom the many
familiar faces noticeil about the reception
parlors, it would seem that tho Ellto had
already taken photo's of nearly half of Lin
coln's population. The constant increase in
patronage lias made It necessary to engage
more assistance, so now he has thiee in tho
operating department and several morn in
the ItnlshliiK rooms. Ground floor, pleasant
quarters and line work Is what has resulted
in biiuging to Mr. Townsend an immense
patronage of our very liest people, and ono so
large that he may feelpioud of It.

criticise It. Mr. Downing Is lining, to the en
tire sal Israel Ion of all, the place made wicaut
by tlio death of McCullough, He Is gland,
impiessivouud icnl mid does not result to the
bluster or stampede which usually accompan
Ies such characters. The chief member of
hlssuppoit, Mr, Chits. E. Herman, Is a thor
ough actor nnd one who bestows on Mr.
Downing Ids untiring energy mid proved
himself muster of his lines. .Miss Blair (Mm.
Downing) also contributes much to the succos.s
of the piece. Tnken nil togethui it mh n

The piece has Imsjii entirely changed and Im
proved siuco its last visit hole, scarcely any
thing lcmnlnlng thnt ouo who hns once soon
it would lecognlro. As a scenic produc
tion it Is mtmeloiis and is ahead of all
similar atti actions Change after change
keep the sjiectator bewildered and dazzled
and will not allow one to loose sight ot the
stage for an instant for fear of losing some of
tho amazing trunsimmntioii scenes. The
company Is about tlio same us we saw Inst
season with Miss Ijiuru Hurt us Faiitasma,
the fairy Queen, in thu title i olo Tho rest of
the company is couqiosod of clever nt lists
who aio truly adepts In their several lines.
Largo housos greeted them each night and
tho 8. H. O. sign appeared teglllaily at each
lerformanco. Mr. Warren, the manager,
suyn it is just the kind of business they have
been doing nil season. In a word it Is a great
show nud deserves the public's patronage,

at the oiK-rn house Thursday evening, 'llio
plot is u fair one and might go, in tho hands
of a goisl company, but unless Jack Terry
sui rounds hluioclt witli a better suppoit
with the exception of his leading lady, than
ho did hero, it will never bo a success. Terry
is no doubt, in his own mind, a swell nnd ex
hibits himself in so vol al dlireieut suits of
flnshy stage clothe and In some Instances Is
very clever, but heio the show- ends. To
gether with thu orchestra they left u poor
impression with our thc-tio goers.

Miss Ulmer, ns Anna Woolcy, thu politician's
daughter, did not liavo a chance to display

cluer and acceptable in her iart. The rest
of the company is good nnd u well satisfied
audience left the house and no doubt many
will icturii this evening when thu company
will put on their other play "Col. Kellers.'1
This Is said to bo Mr. Ulmer's greatest cCort
and lu it he is allotted u I ole w hlch he alone is
able to sustain. His fiequeut leferenco to
local i-haracteis nud members of the legisln

ulToid toinlsH the show this evening as it Is
tho last appearance of the company here and
should draw a laigo hoii'o.
KDW1N AlttH.V IX "IIAHIIKD OUT."
This now lomaiitle drama will bo presented
nt the Fuiike, Tuesday evening by u sterling
company with Edwin Anion in tlio title role.
"Haried Out" Is an iuteiestlng story of Iilsh
llfo full of love, lomiiuco and levenge, rich
in btrongsltuatioiis, cluver acting and intense-
'oannV
ly picturesque. It Is interesting throughout
and at tunes thrilling lu its realism, Mr.
Arden lu tho rolo of Edwin Marmniluke, is
seen at his best nnd has made a decided Iim
piesslon wherever he has apoared lu it. In
this, his latest smews, ho has fitted himself
w Ith n pin t which brings out his ninny strong
points, nud entitles him to rank among the
lending nctors of tho dny. Tho play litis met
unlimited pntronago throughout the country
wherever produced und should dinw n goo
house hero on Tuesday evening. The follow
ing flattering notice fniin the llostou Courier
