CITY CORDIALS.
Attend. the revival services tonight.
The Cutler family, a theatrical com
pany, jmsHed through here this morning.
They showed at Louisville last night.
The union reviyal services at M. E.
church during this week have kept up in
attendance. A large number were out
last night.
Mr. J. 1. Lewis was called from this
city to his Hoone, Iowa, home a few days
ago by a dispatch. He returned today
and after passing the cigars around to his
freinds he informed them: "It's a girl."
There was a largo attendance last
night at the concert given by the
Germans in the Liederkrauz hall. A
very entertaining programme, consisting
of songs and instrumental selections, was
rendered. The celebrated Richard band,
of tjuincy, 111., made some very Hue
music.
Mr. Henry Hiuman, who has for
some time been in the employ of Mr.
John Kuhney, has met with the great
misfortune recently of losing the sight of
one of his eyes. He has interviewed
occulists in Omaha, but they gave the
unwelcome information that they could
not save the sight. It is attributed to
nervous trouble.
Mr. C. II. Parmele purchased a car
load of cattle which he shipped from
Nehawka yesterday to the Omaha mar
ket, averaging 1305 pounds per head.
Fourteen of them averaged 1400 pounds
which is considered a remarkable weight.
Mr. Parmell ''topped the market" yesttr
day, but unfortunately the price dropped
to $2.1)5 from $3.15 the day before. II
purchased them from a Mr. Shelton, of
Nehawka.
"To discontinue an advertisement,"
says John Wanamaker, Philadclhia's
great merchant, "is like taking down
your sign. If you want to do busines?
you must let the public know it. Stand
ing advertisements, when changed fre
quently, are better and cheaper than
reading notices. They look more sub
stantial-like, and inspire confidence.
would as soon think of doing business
without clerks as without advertising."
When young ladies are occasionally
alone and no desirable listener u within
reach of their voices, the only practice
which a (fords them case is the one which
allows their jaws an excuse to move
inis, no uoum, is wnat uas urougiu me
habit of chewing gum into such constant
practice. When their head becomes
tired from the practice, great difficulty is
sometimes experienced in finding a suita
ble location for their serviceable ''jaw
accommodation," and the elastic sub
stance is attached to a great many
out-of-the-way places for fear that
some person may steal the only source ot
comfort. The tables, door casings aui
shelves generally catch it. A btory is
told of two young ladies residing in this
city who make a practice ot chewing
gum. and sticking it to some door casing
or windows. They were careful to inform
each other as to the location that a mis
take might not occur and one get the
Others gum. A young man chauced to
hear the warnings occasionally and while
their faces were at rest, he would make
a transfer. He succeeded in doing this
several times, but to their horror one
day they discovered his tric k but the
youug man was obliged to suffer for it.
Mr. Henry Tartsch, clerk in
the store of S. & C. .Mayer,
did good service for his
employers early thia morning by securing
a first-class overcoat which had
been stolen from the front of the
store about 7:30 o'clock. While he was
engaged in conversation with a friend
and standing at the rear of the store, he
heard a rattling outside the front door
and went immediately to learn the cause.
He reached the walk just in time to see a
tramp making away with some goods'.
After leaving his friend in charge of the
store until he returned, he started after
the tramp, but went in another direction,
taking the street while the thiet made
his way through the alley running paral
lel with Main street. lie met his man as
he reached Main street in the vicinity of
the postoffice. He scared the tramp so tli.it
he handed over the coat and gave away a
cbum who, he said, stole the coat. The
fellow accompanied Tartsch to the jail
where he was locked up. After securing I Hone roll No. 104 a bill for an act pro
this man the clerk found the second mm j viding that no county shall be erected
and had him jailed. The two men were . i,;,.-; t-i,..,, -,ti; n-inr mil... -n.

OUR LINCOLN LETTER
Notes Troni the Capital as Seen By Our
Special Correspondent.
HEATED DEBAJE IN THE SENATE
The Submission Question Discuss
at Some Length and Finally
Postponed Until Today.
Bad Blood in the Senate.
Lincoln, Jan. 24th, 189.
Eurroit Hehahd: As we predicted,
at the commencement of the session,
when bills had been reported from com
mittees and had their turn inthc commit
tee of tfie whole, legislating would not
be as pleasant an occupation as when the
first bills were introduced. Wednesday's
proceedings in the senate developed that
bad blood existed between Raymond, of
Lancaster, and Howe, of Nemeha, a mat
ter all were not informed on, and further
it developed the wonderful gall . of the
residents of Lincoln, a circumstance
nearly every one in the state takes cog
nizance of. These facts were brought to
light during the debate on senate file No,
9, a measure of Raymond s to oiler a
constitutional amendment to be voted on
at the next general state election ns to
whether or not the state board of trans
portation should be elected by the peo
ple. Howe accused Raymond of raising
this question because he, in common with
the other merchants of Lincoln, aided by
an attorney employed by them at a salary
of $4,000 per year, could not run the
present board to suit themselves; and be
cause the board insisted on giving Lin
coin nothing better in the matter of rail
road rates than other cities similarly sit
uated received; and further made the
asset tion there was no complaint of the
present board outside of the city of Lin
coin. Senator Bcardsly, from Lancaster,
corroborated Howe in hisdast statemene,
as far as the county of Lancaster was
concerned. During Howe's ramarks the
purple color stole into Raymond's face,
but subsided before he took the floor
and retorted something to the effect that
the people were not with Howe, because
they did not elect him to congress two
years ago, and stated that he believed
the people ought to be allowed to vote
on the measure. The debate became
quite spirited taking in the laws and
leese as members of tho board; finally the
bill was placed on general file, and wil
come up within a few days, when we
may look for more personalities. Those
outside of Lincoln, who remember the
sublime gall of that city in demanding
Missouri river rates on all goods shipped
in from the east and then an advantage
corresponding with their distance from
said river when shipping to the west may
think there is something in Howe's re
marks that this is a personal matter be
tween Lincoln's merchants, and the state
board of transportation.
The events of the prececding daj
seemed to have sharpened all members of
the senate, as this morning the submis
sionists tried to force, out of its regular
order, senate rile No. 31, to a yote in the
committee of the whole, the same behig
Lindsay's pet measure for a constitutional
amendment on prohibition. This action
brought out earnest requests for delay
from those unfavorable to the bill, and
also remarks as to the merits of the bill
Paulson said he thought that prohibition
would be a great calamity to the state of
Nebraska, and especially to that portion
which he represented; but that he would
be willing to concede much to those who
differed honestly from him; would be in
favor of a bill giving counties a right to
vote ptohibition in their respective coun
ties, or an amendment to the
Sloctim law in that direction; he did
not wish to dictate to counties where the
people wanted prohibition, but he did
most earnestly oppose anything tending
towards forcing prohibition upon the
residents of his county; at any rate he
wanted time for a full discussion. Wol
huch spoke in much the same strain as
Paulson; would make the same conces
sions, but in Hali county the inhabitants
did not want prohibition, and they we: e
as industrious and peacible as any people
in Nebraska. Nesbitt wished the bill
postponed until 2 o'clock tomorrow.
Raymond opposed further consideration
of the bill. The bill was finally postpon
ed until 2:30 tomorrow, at which time a
very interesting debate will take place.
Roth sides claim to be able to pass or
defeat such bills in either house, but
no one can tell just what the outcome
will be.
In tin house this afternoon house roll
No. 131, a bill for an act to submit n
constitutional amendment to the voters
of the state at the next regular election,
to restrain the liq ior traffic by high
license, caused considerable discussion
but finally was permitted to go on gen
eral file. House roll No. 9 was' re
committed to the commitee on judiciary.
, , , , , .. ... I
! recommended back from the committee
, of t,,e whole to pass. House roll No. 132,
creating the office of deputy superintend- j
pi
ent of public instruction, was recom
mended back to the committee of con
stitutional amendments. House roll No.
1 OS recommended back to pass. The
house refused to pass house roll No. 5, a
bill for an act to provide greater punish -mens
for selling liquor to minors, or
permitting them to enter saloons. House
roll No. 42 postponed until the amend
ments offered by the committee on rail
roads could be printed. The report of
the convention of county commissioners
recommending the passage of house No.
30 was read. On motion the chair was
empowered to appoint two additional
members to the committee on sodlier's
home.
In the senate this afternoon favorable
consideration was given to Dornell's bill
to invest the permanent school fund so
as to preyent so much idle money
accumilating in the state treasury. There
seems to be a general tendency on the
part of both houses to make a change in
this regard.
Chancellor Manatt lingers around the
legislative halls, he evidently has a very
keen knife for the regents of the state
university, whether or not he will have
an opportunity to use the same is not
apparent.
Three new bills haye been introduced
by Polk, from Cas. One to change in
some respects, and harmonize in all
respects, sections 63, 64, 63 and 66 of
chapter 10 of the criminal code; one to
establish the jurisdiction where stolen
property is brought into this state from
another state, or from one county in this
state to another county therein; and the
other to regulate the fees and charges of
district court clerks, the latter measure
making no changes except in Lancaster
and Douglas counties.
Since the first writing the senate, after
a lengthy debate in committee of the
whole, recommended Raymond's Trans
portation bill favorably.
J. F. Polk, of Greenwood, and Win.
Shrycck, of Louisville, were capitol
pilgrims this week.

A Rich Musical Treat.

Fitzgerald's hall last night to hear the
Boston Symphony Club, admit that they
are under many obligations to the ladies
of the Presbyterian church and Y. L. R.

entertainment which they had the pleas
ure of hearing: Never before was Platts

of the ability of the Boston Symphony
Club. The leader, Mr. Willis Nowell, in
his solo, was not appreciated to the extent

he deserved, as he is among the first

especially the vocal solo by Mrs. Elsa

The receipts aggregated about $125.
A Strange'.Case-
A case is on trial today before Judge
Chapman for the purpose of testing a
claim which the villages of Union and
Factory ville haye on a church located at
the latter place. Some time ago, and
before Union had come into prom
inence, a number of its citizens
jointly contributed with the Factoryville
people towards the erection of a church
at Factoryville. Since the Missouri
Pacific has touched that point, Union
has rapidly grown with bright prospects,
while Factoryville has since been on the
decline. Now, it is the desire of the
contributors residing at Union to have
the church removed within a more
convenient distance of their home, but
the Factoryville people object to its
removal hence the present law suit. A
good number of witnesses from each
place are attending the trial today, and
the case is quite interesting.

Tremendous Comet In the Heavens
A terrible ball of fire haa recently been
discovered in the Heavens, and is said to
be approaching the Earth at the rate of
one hundred and seven million miles per
day. Astronomers are somewhat alarmed
as to the direction in which it is centered,
and tell us that if it does not change its
course, it trill surely be the destruction
of the earth. It is estimated to be twelve
times larger than the great planet Jupi
ter, which is the largest planet of the
Universe. Astronomers tell as it will
soon be visible to the people of this con
