It biM been loow.nl by Horiiolsholmer & Co., who will occupy tho three divisions next to TwoUth sti oet. Funko & Ogdon linvo leased ono of the other divisions, and Perkins Uros. havo sjiokon for tho llflh. Across tlio street tho now Hnirls building nironls nnother lllun tratlon. Tho Unit lloor and basement are oo uplcd by tho Couuiku establishment, tho third lloor by tho Hlks And tho second In to bo taken by tho city llbr.iry. Tho removal of Kwlng's clothing house wns significant. Lcnv Itt, tho conl man, und tho Klkhorn ticket of fice havo Joined tho movement and secured a moro contral location on O street near thooi ern house. As tho city grows tho business part of it must sun-nd and Its center shift. Straws like tho above show which way It Is going. V Tho attondaiieo at tho Central law school Is Increasing, and tho school Is In n fair way to becomo ono of tho notable Institutions of tho city. An effort vv III bo iiinde to havo tho leg Mature authorize It to confer degrees, and tho next step will bo to make Its diploma equivalent to admlsdon to the bar. Theroaro many reasons why a good strong law school can nnd should lie built up In tho Capital City of Nebraska. Soverul young man havo asked the Couuiku U thcro will bo New Year's leceivlng and call lug. Tlio conundrum U too hard. It Is re spectfully rofei led to tho ladles. Tho young men In question explain their anxiety by say ing: "Wo wor.t to know, you know, so we will have time to got suitnblo New Year's cards In caso we want them." Hereafter buyers of baker's bread will get sixteen ouncos In pound loaveslnstojulof tlilr tn nml ihlrtv-twa ounces Instead of twenty- six In t no-pound loaves. Of course tho bakers rejlndlgnant that tho city ordinance should bo enforcod, and thoy havo issued a pronuncl amonto. Hereafter thoy will sell their bread at straight prices. Instead of six small loaves for twentv-flvo cents tho buyer will get but five. Well, let us seo: Six thlrteen-ounco loaves mako seventy-eight ounces. Fivo six teen -ounce loavos make eighty ounces. Tho buyer makes two ounces by tho operation. But very fow consumers buy bread by tho Job lot. An Increase of th reo ounces Is a clear gain of nearly 35 per cent. V Tho board of education has fixed on 175,000 as tho estimated cost of tho proposed nw high school building. It was also ordorod that tho plans provldo for a genoral assembly room, n feature greatly to le commended. V Tho latest: A friend, perhaps a young ludy, remarks: 4,Thoy aro going to removo tho electric lights from tho stato houso." You Innocently ask: "Why I" Tho other party rosjionds: "Uecuuso It is feared thoy will slngo tho whiskers of the man in tho moon." Thou tho whole crowd laughs all but your self. Wns now building over finished when promised? , The COUUIKU ojqectl to bo in Its new quarters three weeks ago, but did not get moved until Monday. This Issuo has lieon gotten out under difficulties amid a litter of lumber, shavings mid dirt, with tho rasp of saw and tho bang of hammer driving thought crazy, whllo tho dust of plaster filled lungs and inkstands Uutpntlenco nnd tiersever ., l,nvn worked wonders. Chaos has yield ed to ordor, and the Couuikh establishment is in good running order. Tho oillco is now prosentablo and friends are Invited to drop In. Carpets and other olnlwrato f mulshing will bo added ns rfoon n tho rusli of work w HI permit, and tho Coumku will then presoutns handfomo an establishment ns can bo found anywhoro In tho west. Komemlior, tho now ofllco Is In tho new Harris block on N street, botwecn Eleventh and Twelfth. warrant Its owner lit unking it n permanent adjunct to Lincoln, Mr, Audrtis, however, Isn public-spirited man, with his wholo heart in tho jinrk, nnd ho Is net easily dlseouragoit. We aro now assured Hint a street railway will In) built out on A striHit towards CuMiman next season. Whllo tho road may bo project ed iirlmnrily to bring certain lots Into tho market, wo havo aildltioiiiil assurances that tho lino will bo extended ultimately to tho park, which will lio cause for genoral icjolo Ing. A mooting of Interested men wns hold Monday night nt the oillco of Lamb, lticketts Sr Wilson, and It is given out that (311,500 worth of stock in tlio now enterprise was sub scrllied for, V Hoeaklnc of the Exposition building, tho name Is said to havo been selected by It-t own er, Mr. J. J. ImholT. Ills idoa was a depart inent Btoro somowhat after tho stylo of Tho Fair of Chlengo, but ho did not wish to us o tho same iiiimo iKicauv It had becomo so com mon astolososomoof ltsvnluofordlstlnctlve- 111. Ho thcrciiK)ii hit on Exposition, Tho word, somehow, doesn't strike ono ns Jut tho right thing. It Is clumsy nnd nwkward to handle, and to a stranger Is liable to convey tho Idoa of an oxhlbltloii of machinery or fat cnttlo. That would be wholly misleading. If tlio gentlemen who are to occupy tho bul ling want a distinctive nnmo why would not Tho Glass IIouo lio a good one! Tho front of both first and second stories h almost entirely of glass, and that article figures largely in roof and rear wall. Tho name would npienl to tho fancy of tho average man nnd woman mid bo remembered. It would plquo the cu riosity of tho stranger and In iii.iuy cases lend him to come around and look at the place. It would havo tho tnei It of originality, ns it Is not likely that the nnmo Is usjd by any other business establishment in tho country. It would niuko un easy, catchy wind in adver tising. Tho Glass Houso would bc-onio a liotablo center from which distances and dl roctions to oilier points would bo measuied. In short, thoro Is n great deal In a name In these duys of business, and thoro would bo a big nd, in Tho Glass House. V Tho Saturday Evening Herald, tho society paper of Chicago, published fifteen columns of social nows last week, and about one-hnir of It consisted of tlio namos of guest nt thu different affairs reported. V Jtulgo Field has Just decided an unusual caso incouit. It wns tho divorce suit of Mary Wing Fong, nil American girl who nskod to bo released from a Chlueso husband, Joo Wing Fong. 8ho charged cruelty and deser tion. The com t said she fallod to sustain tho first' charge, but granted her a dlvorco on tho othor nnd allowed hurto losumo her midden name, Mury Fulton. Tho caso was compli cated by lioth father and mother seeking to get control of tholr infant son. Tho court awarded him to tlio mother on tho following conditions: "That tho plaintiff keep tlio said child at all times within the jurisdiction of this court; that the phlntlfT keop tho defend ...t. a, nil times advised as to the icsldcnco of herself und child; that tlio defendant havo full nnd friendly access at allroisonablotlinos to visit said child; that tho plaintiff teach and Inculcate in tin mind of tho child, Eugene Paul, honor nnd respect for tho father, tho defendant horelu." V Lincoln has a pietty resort in Cuslininti park, but lust season's exporlenco, oven with the lllwrul, onoretlo management of Mr. An rims, demonstrated that there must bo homo butter moans of transportation In ordor to mako It popular with the masses. Mr. An drus arranged for special trains on the U. & M., but thev came liiili and could not bo run ofton enough to suit all classes. A great many poopla st lyed tit homo rather tliuii go out ut two In tho afternoon with tho certiilnty of not being able to get back before B or 0 ut night. It soemod u pity that Cusliiiian should not havo received n patronage tliut would Announcement has boon made from tfmo to time of mi unusually lino holiday nuuibsr of tho Couuiku, and, although tho public mny not hnvd fully realized It, preiaratlons havo liecn under way for weeks and months. Tho publisher has long boon planning nnd securing features for this Issue, nnd tho preparations havo so far culminated that somo of those can now bo definitely announced. In picking up tho Holiday Couuiku tho first thing to be noticed will bo tho fact that It Is bound in a iswutlful cover. This Is n heavy lemon-colorod paper, nnd tho title pago, u handsome original doi jn, will show throe colors and tints, all blending most har moniously. This number will htvo sixteen or twenty pngos, and the Inside pages will bo on extra heavy sized and calendered paper. Tho pages will be of the usual sizo. Lincoln Is n city of lieautlful homes, nnd many of the flnost will bo represontisl In tho Couuiku by engraved Illustrations. A feature of sieclal Interest will bo a series of finely engraved portraits representing tho gentlemen in an inior!aut lino of business. Among tho art Illustrations will bo a largo engraving, representing six notable paintings by EurniHMii artists, but now owned In Amer ica. This engraving Is made In thooxcnslve process known ns half tone. It Is mndo from photographs taken direct from tho pnlntliigs themselves. The Couuiku has boon negotiating for a photograph of tho famous picture, "Tho An gelus," for a half tono engraving of it, nnd whllo It cannot lie piomised Misitive1y nt this writing it Is oxocted this engraved copy will ben feature of the holiday issue. "The An golus," it will be rcniembeied, wns taught by Americans for 110,000 in competition with tho French government. It Is now tho central attraction lu n big art exhibit in New York, and it lias a special Interest for Lincoln yvo plo becauso tho Hiiydou Art club expects to have it heio on exhibition tho lutter part of tho wli.ter. "The Coming of tho Storm King" will lie an engraving symbolical of the season made eqiccliilly In Now York from the drawing of a Getmiiti artist. There will be other engravings of minor interest. Among the contributions will bo n spocinl article on art in architecture by Miss Harah Wool Moore, who Is at the head of tLo art depurtuiont at tho BUito university, Ml"8 Moote's life hns bot'n given to the study of art, and this article will bu of great practical value. Hon. C, II. Goro, editor of tho State Jour nal, will bo represented by an able nnd coin prelioiislvo nttlclo on "Caricature." Tho writer begins with tho Kiiu-diicd bricks of Chuldcu and traces tho i Ise nnd development of tho art to the colired cm toon of today, Tho article shows txlmustlvo resoarch and philosophic redaction, but through It runs a, Hue vein of humor. Under the caption of "Look to Your Daushters." Ella Wheolor Wilcox will ex plain why somo gli Is elopo with a coaehmau. Hhe will tell something about girl nature, Its beiitlment8 and its ideals, and she will sc'io mothers for tholr failure to bo tholr daugh ters' ooiilldnnts. It toucho on delicate ground, but it isdonoso tactfully as to givo no olfeuse, whllo its sound sense will com mend it. Among tho special articles will bo two copy lighted v hriitniM stories. One isfromtho pen of David A. Curtis of tint Now York press It Is u story of roil life, nnd its scono is laid at tlio famous Five Points of New York city, Tl.o other story wus written by Homy Daw sun, It has a Christin is leconclliatlou for its ceutrul motive, about which plajs much sen timent that will upiica! to ull whoso hearts havo not hardened. Other featuio now in preparation will make this Holiday Couuiku by far the most notable puper ever issued in the Capital City, lion. Tlio club does not sot itself up ns n cen sor or mi nrnclo In matters artistic, but out of tho fullness of Its lovo for tut It gives tlmpub llo n clmnco to enjoy lecttues anil displays which arc d 'sUned pi im iril y for Its own lien ellt. Its exhibitions are not inoiie)nmklng nlTalrs. Tlio club Is iwi'MliI to make ox pensos, and Its greatest gratlllo it Ion isln hav ing the tribute of u visit to Its collection. Its pride Is In h-ivlug many guests, V A branch of the Woiiinn's Indian ntMoola llou was organized 'n Lincoln n short time ago, nnd its members crpw lully will be ltr teiostod III the following stitementt At the anniversary of tlio Woman's National Indian tiHsoclatlim held Nov.
