ME THE BYE. Tho long-promised "History of tlm City of Lincoln" has conio from tho press. Tho tltlo pngo boars tho names of A. B. Hayes and Ham D. Cox aa authors, hut tho latter surren dered his interest early in tho work, of prvpa ration and Mr. Hay os employed Hlchard L. Howe. Tho literary work, therefore, 1h es sentially that of Mr. Hayes and Mr. Rowe. Tho former was tho guiding spirit and ho had an admirable assistant in Mr. Ilowe, who is endowed with nn inslstanco on exactness in tho statement of historical facts. Doth aro newspnticr men and they hnvo produced a book with many excellences. Tiiero is no hcoim) in a local history for tho literary gran deur of a more general work. It Is not u record to bo read and reread for its diction, its philosophy or its Imagery, Tho local his tory is properly tho preserving record of events and their human associates for tho benellt of after comers who may wish to rako tho dead leaves of tho past for data for his torical papers, for nownpnpor comment, for family history or for inero curiosity. Too often It is tho graveyard of human vtmlty row upon row of headstones, ouch (at'idlng tho litiuio and virtues of soibo seeker ufter immortality through tho gate of priutei's ink. Hut tho Lincoln history is more and less than tho ordinary work of its kind. It is moru than a chronological table ami less than a biographical golgothu. Thu compilers had tho benellt of personal association with pio neers of tho city, and tho statements of theso llrst settlers give tho work a iiersonul color, a ' reminiscent Uavor usually lacking in the dull and dreary histories gotten out by come-and-go fakirs. It is not a stately march of events, nor a ioninouH How of language, but it has u little more of human interest thuu a ceme tery. Tho work contains u few portraits und biographies, but they aro those of men who have been prominent in tho political or mate rial growth of tho city. It is quite evident that tho book has not been made the sower of nauseous eulogy for every man who would pay tho price. Mr. Hayes seems to have made a sincere cITort to produce an honest work, a book whoso contents would not belle its tltlo page. From a hasty scanning of its pages Bye-the-Byo cannot say how accurate or how completo it is in its historical dutn, but so much good sense has been displayed in tho particulars mentioned abovethatltseems likely the work has been well done in other respects. The book has nearly 400 lages, is piiited on heavy toned paiier lrom largo new tyiKi and is well bound. From u cusual ex amination it nppeurti to bo far superior in ull ways to the histories gotten out by trumps. V Pleasant Hour Seniors (Just reorganized for tho season) Is tho State Journal alive) Journal Here. P. II, 8. What havo you said about us? Journal Wo havo mado tho llltocnth annual announcement that tho Pleasant Hours begin the season with bright prospects. P. II. 8. Then on with tho danco. Tho riso and tendoncy of tho tank drama might furnish fitting theme for edant or philosopher. In "tost in New York" Lincoln saw one of the highest exponents of tho mod ern development of realism. It is a too obvl ous fact to need argument that tho staging of a play should imitate the conditions which it reflects. It Is not alwayB possible, sometimes is not attempted, to copy with any degree of accuracy tho costumes and other accessories of tho scenes Jopictcd on the stage. Hut this cannot be urged against tho tank drama. The human heart yearns for things that aro "truo to life." Wo older people, can retail tho introduction of real blood-hounds into "Undo Tom," and the consequent blood-curdling thrill Is a sensation not yet entirely forgotten. We can trace tht rise of realism through real donkeys, real fountains and real "spinning wheels, specially imported from Europe," to real tanks and real water. Wo older people who usea water borore It went out of stylo can testify that the wuter used in "Lost in New York" was true to life. Ileal water is always wet, and whenever you boo wet water you may know that It is tho genuine thing. Un like the weather there is no wetter or wettest water. Tho wotness of its wet is simple and unadorned, and you never soo real water without it . These natural and historical facts should bo borno in mind by those of the pres ent generation who uro interested in tho re productive accuracy ot tho drama. But tho realism of "Lost In Now York" did not stop at real water. There was a rial boat that moved about on the surface ot tho real water and wo huve indisputable evidence in history that boats were made to flout in water. The boat had a real whistle that was ojsjrated by real steam, which wo know was in use at the time represented in the play. From mechan ical drawings that have escuped the maw of oblivion it is known that the initial action of tho whistle was communicated through a lov er, and tho boat in "Lost in New York" hud a real lever. Thus wo see that the tank drama lias can led out realism to the minutest de tails. It Is truo that tho creaturo encased in real rubber, which knelt in the bottom of tho real river and went through tho motions of cooking u meal over a real lire on the behind end of a real cuuoe, was beyond the range of tho knowledge of thu oldest of us, but thu sea has many ttraugo monsters, and wo uro will ing to tuko him on trust. Tho carpenter und tho tinsmith who constructed thu tank would scarcely endanger their reputation for real realism by putting such a creuturo into their performance without tho warrant of history for its being. Hut wo can easily see thut heights yet remain for realism to scale. It is a fulr criticism on this play that the streets of New York represented In it wero not real streets, ami in tho ubsenco of renl streets there could bo no leal cobblestones. Hut realism is ot giadual giowth and we are now in the stage of de elopment. In due course of time wo may bo able to trace thu evolution of real actors from the tank drama. It already af fords us real babies, und in thu nuturul course of events they will grow into something or other, Tho Infant of "Lost in Nw York" is u puny thing, but a nursing youngster that can get oil real slang like "you but" is not good enough to die. In short, tho jiosslbi titles of ualisui tinder thu stimulating liillueuco of tho tank drama nro almost lieyond human comprehension. If tho hope of real actors bo thought the fancy of a fevered Imagination, what shall bo said of tho prediction that thu tltno will come when real air will bo breathed! And yot strnngo things nro coming to pass in theso days. V Tho transfer of tho Omaha Iltpubllcan to tho owner of tho JCrenlnn Dltpalch is tho latest of recent iiowspncr surprises. And tho fellows whoso vanities had been lanced by Fred Nyo's icn aro puffed up bigger than ever before with tho mean little satisfaction of saying "I told you ho. "They aro nursing tho impression that tho sale of tho llriiubtican was a collapse of Nye. Tills Is not fair. Tho facts aro not as dishonest nor as ungenerous. Tho paper was owned by Fred Nye and Frank Johnson, and tho latter held tho controlling interest. Hy tho cmlwzzlcmout and sulcldu of a partner in a bank ut Sidney, Johnson had an indebtedness of forty or fifty thous and dollars saddled on him. With tho neces sity of immediately raising n largo sum in cosh, bankruptcy stared him In tho face, and ho forced tho sale of tho Utpublican to suvo himself. Knowing that tho buyer would havo a controlling interest, Nyo had his hold ing Included in the trade. It was tho only thing for a man of his teinier to do. Nyo was tho victim of circumstance. Hut his is too volatile n spirit to bo kept long under re pression. Ouo of tho bits of gossip set afloat by tho sale of tho HcpubUca n is tho report that Mr. Kosowaterof tho Ilee made Mr. Hitchcock of the Herald a proitosltlou to buy tho Jit- publican und suppress it. Mr. Rosowntcr, so Knowitall says, olicred to put 10,000 Into a Kt for that purposolf Mr. Hitchcock would contribute $15,000. Tho lutter declined. Hy getting control of tho ltepubUcan,a Associat ed press franchiso tho lice und tho Herald could hnvo prevented nuy other strong com petitor from entering tho field. Truo or not, tho story is characteristic of Mr. Ilosowater. As it is, Mr. Wilcox ot the Ulnpatch isu man of largo resources and seems to havo a bull dog tenacity that muy give tho other pnicrs a long and lively tug. Speaking of franchises, tho lice had n chauco a few years ago to buy tho United Press for $1,500. Ho is sorry now that ho didn't. It couldn't bo bought now for less than $10,000, even if the Herald, which after wards bought It, should walvo ltn objections. Tho United is giving as good a service all around as tho Associated, and in somo re spects a better one. For example, if a iapor want a fuller account of an event than Is furnished in tho regular report tho United will detail a mun specially to gather tho ad ditional matter. Tho llee supplements its regular reiwrts with sixscluls that more than make up deficiencies but specials aro expen sive. Apropos tho subject, tho Slate Journal re ceives both tho Associated and tho United Press reports, nnd consequently has a strong telegraphic nows service. Wliethertho Jour nal owns tho franchises or merely receives tho reiKjrts by sufferance Is a disputed ques tion outside its olllce. Headers of tho CouiUEn should remember that tills paper is always glad to receive news of social huppcuiugs and personal movements. No one person can know of everything going on in a city of Lincoln's size, and It is only hy the kindly assistance of friends that a pn- ior can muKo a tolerably completo record of passing events. Never hesitate to give tho UOUHIKK a social or ersouul item. PERSONAL Mrs. John M. Cotton lias returned from Indiana accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Johnson of LogansporU Mrs. Jessie Moore held tho lucky ticket that drew Manager McRoynolds' horse in connec tion with "Lost in New York." Prof, and Mrs. Adolph Weber aro homo from their European visit. They have not yet decided on their future location. Mr. and'Mrs. Henry Zehrung, Mr. nnd Mrs. J. U. Mockjtt and Mr. and Mrs. K. P. H. Millar returned from Washington Thursday, Mrs. W. 8. IlulTman nnd daughters havo returned from Qulney, whero Mr. H. has been engaged in u side issuo for two months. Mr. VuuDusou, the clllcleiit manager of Miller & Pulue's glove department, is in Chi cago on a trip combining business and pleas ure. Jumes Keith, now of Omaha, has on tho Fifteenth street side of Hoyd's opera house ono of tho neatest cigar and howb stands in tho city. Tho Couiueii lenrns thnt Mr. E. 8. Hiiwloy and fumlly of Nebraska City will on Novetn lwr first become residents of tho Capital City. Leaving Otoe's county sent after having re sided there for nearly twenty years, Lincoln should feel proud of tho new acquisition to her circle of prominent business men. Mr. Hawloy went to Nebraska City and engaged in the hnrdwnro and Implement business when it was but a village, and. in fact, when nil Nebraska did not contain many iiioioik-o-plo than Lincoln does today. Ho saw that city und tho state grow, stood by tho old river town when its best opportunities wero ottered and refused, when Lincoln was noth ing nnd Nebraska City great. Hut, ulast this is a picture that our unfortunate iioluhlsors do not llko to look back ujioii. Now tho ta bles uro rovcm.il, and It is to Iki reirrettnl that such is tho case. Nebraska City in thu early duys hud a brighter prosit thnn any town in tho state hus today, but uullku tho spirit of theso times, she wus slow to Improve tho opportunities oilerod her. Hut why re cull unpleasant bygone days, und that which "might have lieon." Wo aro pleastil to know that Mr. Hawley and his estimable lady will bo of us nnd therefore welcome thu family to this community. Mr. und Mrs. Huwloy nro by no minus strangers in Lincoln, having frequently visited hero us guests of Mr, unit Mrs. Nelson Brock, tho hitter Mug a sister of Mrs. Hawloy. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Tho hoxpltnblo Kleiner homo was thrown oH)ii Wednesday evening for tho third tlmo In as many weeks, and Miss Gertrude. Kleiner entertained her young friends. Tho Kleiners aro nothing If not original, but this latest entertainment embodied more than tho uiual number of novel sensations for tho guest. Tho Invitations prescribed costumes of pillow cases and sheets, and during tho Marly pnrt of tho evening tho young people looked llko so many phantoms. Malo and femalo appeared alike, but tboy danced nnd tried to cnctrato each other's secrets, resulting inn great many amusing situations. After an hour or so of mystery the company unmasked, and then tiiero was the liveliest of chatter in compar ing notes. Luncheon was announced, and on entering tho dining room a scene was present ed thnt kept everybody in tho merriest of moods. Mr. Kleiner has a fund of dry humor and n keen sense of tho ridiculous, oven in his own business. In ono end ot tho room he had constructed an excellent Imitation of a rail road lunch counter. It was loaned with vi ands, and a row of high stools afforded tho customct s seats. With u lively recollection he let his imagination roam about the realm of fancy, and tho result was a shower of pla cards Ufckcd all over tho walls. They point ed many a laughing Jest, und stai ted a flood ot repartee that engulfed thu whole company. Following were somo of thu placards: Thu LooLoo Restaurant Meals ut all hours Grand closing out salu ot baked beans At tend our great auction sale of Pig's Feet A prize Collar Button in every tenth plate of Sou Tiy our Biscuits for Slnkcnt-Two doughnuts und a shave for a dime Commu tation tickets $5 for $11.50 Liver almost given away Wo defy eotnjHjtluon on our Fried Eggs Great bargains in pie-A few remnants of tripe, icud tea and soup bone ut half price today A tlntyiu with every sand wich Look ut our 5a counter for bargains In Fish Bulls 1-4 oH on buckwheat cukos Ex amine or Irish stews letoru purchasing oUi whore Last season's sponge cuke to Ini closed out regardless of cost Ul meal tickets for $'J Our shaved butter can't bo bout A gallon of cider with every straw A NV tenet wurst given to every customer ColToo in lea cups ut u great sacrifice A fried oyster wlthovery boltiu of ink An opeia glass with every oys ter stow Mush with muyoualso dressing Bo ware ot Pickpockets!

Tho lunch counter proved a popular thing, but those who found tho stools nil occupied wero accommodated a', smull tables and all were served with a boun tiful supply of good things. The remainder of tho evening wus spent in dancing. Tho three parlors, cleared of furnltuie, were can vassed and Miss Willougbby presided at the piano. Tho phantom rty proved a very happy affair throughout. Among those pres ent were: Messrs. Will Clarke, Chus. Burr, Charles Hull, R.D.

Tlw dancing party given at Temple hall Friday evening by tho Pleasant Hour Junlois as a farewell to Miss Lona Giles was a most flattering tribute to thut young lady's popu larity. Miss Giles lias been thu guest of her aunt, Mrs. L. C. Burr, for nearly a year und n half, but leuves next Monday for her homo In tho new state ot Washington. With at tractive personal charms shu combines lovely manner and sweet winsomeuess In an unusu al degree. The compliment jiald her by tho young gentlemen was a handsome, w ncere testimonial, and it could not havo been be stowed moro worthily. Tho assembly was a bright and happy affair. Tho Junlois were out in force, and comfortably filled the hall without crowding. The ladles wero mostly in evening gowns of light colors, nnd of course the gentlemen wero arrayed in thu conven tional swallow-tall and broad expauso of linen, with tho exception of Mr. Charles Burr, who was In his cadet uniform.

Tho club hus been wait ing for new rooms that would better suit its purpose's, and a lease hus Just Ik-oii made that will secure the desired accommodations, Tho club has leased the third lloor, 35x183, of the new Harris block on N btrout opposite the new Exposition, By engaging these quarters while In process of construction tho Elks uro enabled to have the space partitioned to their liking, and tho size .if tho place gives them ninplo room.

Tho club has Ikjcii run ning under an excuse of nlsjut $'!5 a month, but tho now arrangement will cut the bills to considerably loss than half that amount. Tho Elks express much satisfaction over tho change nnd uro already taking n pnwpoetlvo prido in quarters which they can show friends without mi niwlogy. Tho present rooms will bo given up at thu end of this mouth. Tho now quartern may not Ikj rendy until the middle or lust of November, nnd will probably bo dedlcnted with a ladles' social.
