A stranger says that Omaha has got more "got up and dust," nbout it than any other western city he ever saw, which leads us to ask, what shall we uo with our dust? Mollie Flynn, the most forlorn looking young prostitute that was ever brought before the Police Court was yesterday sent to jail for non-payment of a fine long since due. Smith, the colored candidate for & position on the police force, for feited his chances of getting a 'sil ver star," by unmercifully whipping his wife. He paid a ?10 line at the Police Court yesterday. The veteran vagrant, Georgo Cross, formerly of Omaha, has been heard from. He was fined $100 for vagrancy in St Loui", the othur day, the fine being remitted on con dition that he would immediately leave town. A sneak thief Thursday night made a haul at the stable of Mr. J. J. Brown, on Sixteenth street. The hostler had raised the window up In his room, to get some fresh air during the night, and the thief reached in his hand, and took his vest from under the pillow. He ap propriated the hostler's watch and chain, and some loo-e change, and then walked oil'. Mr. Tom Bruner was before the police courtyesterdayniorningon the charge of keeping a vicious dog. It was claimed that his gentle yellow bird-dog bit a little girl Thursday. The evidence showed that it was :i dog of another color, and of a ferocious nature that set his teeth in the little girl's flesh. Tom and his netter pup were accordingly dis charged, and triumphantly left the eourt room together, the former with a happy smile on his counte nance, and the latter with a llvely wag on his tail.

Attanlt and Battery. On the complaint of Moses Doyle, an employe at the Union Pacific shops, Aloxander McCartney was yesterday morning arrested and brought before Justice Henny, to an swer a charge of assault and battery on the complainant, on the night of the 2otn, as he was returning home from work. Doyle was badly pounded about the head and face, his upper lip was severely cut, and one of his shoulders was injured. The assault was made without any preliminary warning, and originated from circumstances which are of no interest to anybody but those di rectly concerned. Young McCart ney waived an examination and was required to give bonds in the sum of two hundred dollars for his appearance at the next term of the District Court. Doyle proposes also to have both him and his brother James bound over to keep the peace. An Attempted Swindle Nipped in the Bud. Albert Nast, tinner, 175 Farnham street, took into his employment about a month ago, a man giving his name as George Snyder, and after keeping him a week, dis charged him on account of his bad conduct. On the 2d of May, a letter signed by "George Thomson &Co." was written from this city to Messrs. B. Hartin & Co., dealers In tin, &c, St Louis, Informing them that "George Thomson & Co." had be come successors to Albert Nast, tinner, and had started a "hole-sale" house, etc., and accompanying this letter was a very large order for goods, to bo shipped to thorn at Omaha. A similar letter was sent to Cra gin & Co., of Chicago. The two houses scented something rotten and sent the letters to Nast for explana tion. He saw'that a lob was bolni? put up on him, and going to the postoflice he gave directions to have the person watched who called for letters for Thompson & Co. The man who got such letters was iden tified as George Nast, from which fact no other conclusion can be now reached but that Snyder and Thompson & Co., are one and tlio same Had Snyder obtained thogoods, he could have been arrested, but as It is now, he will escape punishment. Damages For False Imprisonment. Judge Pcabody returned yester day from Blair, where he had been called as a witness, in the case of Ezra Ives vs. Edward Painter, In dian agent. Last fall, while Judge Peabody was United States Com missioner, Ives was arrested on the complaint of Agent Painter, and brought up for examination on the charge of horse stealing from the In dians. He was discharged, as it was shown that he came honestly by the horse. He then sued Mr. Painter for $10,000 damages, for false im prisonment The case came on foi trial at Blair, and resulted in favor oftheplaiutiiT; the jury returning a verdict of $500 damages. Mr. Painter was not present at the trial, being absent in Baltimore, where he lie;', stricken down with parayl sis. TO LET. Suva rooms suitable for offices, coiner of Fifteenth and Douglas streets.

Mrs. Latey is going to Boston to study, and we feel confident that she will realize that cultivation of voice and progress in music, which she anticipates. She is young, apt, and susceptible of rapid improve ment Her voice has that compass and quality of tone, which with cultivation, will rank her among the artists. She has always been generously ready to assist at home entertainments and concerts, and if there is one person above another, who deserved a rousine benefit from the citizens of this city, it is Mrs. Latey. The public, and combined singing societies, have vindicated their appreciation of her ability as a singer, and esteem for her as a lady; the first by their presence at the concert, and the latter by their unanimous assistance. The concert was opened by an overture from "Martha," which was played by the Omaha city band, with commendable spirit. "Don't let the Roses Listen," a solo by Miss Ella Spoor, sister of Mrs. Latey, was rendered in a charming manner. She is not over twelve or thirteen years of age, and her performance last night was evi dence that she is possessed of the necessary elements of becoming a noted songstress. The Arion Singing Club, under the leadership of Professor Blanken felt, sang a double quartette, "Ban ish, Oh Maiden," in admirable style and strict harmony. It was appreciated by the audience and loudly applauded. It is to be regretted that this club, composed of such good material, did not given a concert under their its banners last season. The stillness of the auditorium and the eagerness witli which the solo by Mrs. Latey was listened to, told how well it was executed and appreciated. Her voice grew in fervor its the piece advanced, and in that portion of it where the or chestra accompanies by a tremolo she threw passion in her tones and finished "Itobert toi que j'aime" in a grandeur and expression suqiass ing any of her previous eu"brts before the public of this city. The duett, "Returning Home," by Mrs. H. L. Latey and Miss Clara Campbell, was a treat that will be remembered. The rich, full voice of Mrs. Latey blending with the liquid sweet tones of that of Miss Campbell formed a harmony that excited the enthusiasm of the audi ence and apparently inspired the singers themselves. We know that Mrs. Ruggles has been unwell lately, and is at pres ent straggling with a cold which caused her, evening before last at rehearsal, to stop singing her solo when but half through, and fears were entertained that she would not be able to do herself justice at the concert To our surprise last eve ning her voice came out in round volume, elear and free from imped iment, to the extravagant delight of her many friends. The second part of theprogramme was opened by the Omaha City Band playing the overture of '.'Poet and Peasant," which was executed in their usual brilliantly style. The novelty of the evening was the Chinese serenade a solo and chorus from "Paganini iii China" produced by tho Oonoordia Society. The erformers were dressed in Chi nese costume, even to the cue, and seal-like mustaches. A humorous smijo fljtjed across the many faces among tlie audience as they heard the supposed Chinamen artioulate so perfectly in the German tongue. The fortunate one to whom thjs delicious rig? niarole was addressed sat, or per haps reclined, lyy a window dirpctjy above the performers. Her elbow rested on the outer edge of the winuow-sin, wniie ner arm was allowp4 tq float gracefully as if be ing swayed by the "gentle zephyrs" and trembling music of the serena- dera. Such an arm! Jt was the soul of symmctry.the ideal of furm, and tapered beautifully to the slender fingers, ouo of which embellished, rather than was embellished by, a couple of elegant rings. Jt M'flsjid mired by all who were so fortunateas to sit in a position to view it, and was made a target for the anxious opera glasses. Heavens! why could not the audience have seen the face of tlie fair, (bow could she le otherwise than fair) proprietress of that arm; oui mat pleasure was aggravating ly denied. Mrs.E.McShane sang a solo, "ner bright smile haunts me'still," with pathos in a clear free voice, and was warmly encored, to which she responded by singing the "Vale of Chamouni." An attractive feature of theconcert was the duet, "Two Nightingales," by Miss Little and Miss Bishop. Miss Little is gifted with a powerful voice and an articulate delivery, which is enhanced by a thorough knowledge of music. Miss Bishop Is recognized as one of the sweetest altos in our city, and the evenness and ease with which she glides through the tones, betrays a studied culture. They were enthusiastically applauded. A solo, "Deep In My Heart," was sung by Mrs. Latey, and was. rap turously encored, to which she an swered by giving, "Tell Me, Bird of the Merry Greenwood." All of the above pieces, with the exception of Mrs. Latey's first solo, were accompanied by Prof. Blank enfelt on the piano, in a creditable style. The last piece on theprogramme was a chorus, "The Heavens are Telling," by the Philharmonic So ciety, and was accompa'nied by the orchestra.- It was a great volume of harmony, and was rendered with spirit under the directorship of Prot Hoffinajj. We know pot to which to admire him the more as a leader of the orchestra or of the Philharmonic Society. He excels as both. The acoustic principles of the Acaiieniy of Music are very poor indeed, making it a very undesira ble place to hold a concert Thursday night was oppressively warm and the programme was long, notwithstanding which theaudience listened with unwearied interest throughout the entire performance. The Odd Fellow's Temple. The following is the "programme for the ceremonies in the laying of the corner stone of the Odd Fellow's Temple this afternoon: 1. Members of the order will as semble at the lodge room, in Cen- tral Block, Farnham street, at 3 p. in., and proceed in procession to tne location of the building. A. G.

The Grand Officers will then proceed with the prescribed cere monies which will include prayer by the Grand Chaplain, remarks by the Grand Master, music by the band, and 7. An oration bj Col. John H. Keatley, of Council Blufls. 8. An ode will then be sung and the ceremonies close with a bene diction of the Grand Chaplain. A Serions Bunaway Accident. As Mr. A. V. Richards and his mother were driving down Capitol Hill, on Dodgestreet Thursday even ing about half past seven o'clock, a bolt gave.way letting one side of the shafts drop down upon the heels of the horse, which became frightened and started on a run away. Just opposite the Planters' House the buggy was overturned, and the occupants thrown out. Mr. Richards escaped with but a few slight bruises, while his mother was not so fortunate. Her head and face were badly bruised and cut in several places, from which tho blood flowed in streams, while she lay for several minutes insensible upon the ground. Dr. Peck happened to be near by, and soon restored her to consciousness. She was conveyed in a carriage to her home, where the M-ounds were dressed. It was afterwards ascertained that one of her shoulders was very badly sprained. No bone3 were broken. Although quite severely injured, Mrs. Richards is very comfortable to-day, and will soon recover. Grand Opening. John Damon will open his new Volk's (People's) Gardou at 176 Farnham street, on Monday, June 1st. The Volk's (People's) Garden recommends itself, on account of the convenient location, and the most fastidious arrangement of the place. On tlie opening day, the proprietor will set an excellent lunch, and .intends always to keep the finest liquors and cigars, also every brand of beer, brewed in this city, and imported beer from Mil waukee, will be kept on draught, and the brewer, whose beer the pub Jji pronounces to be the best, wijl receive a premium of $10. We anticipate that J. Damon will soon be doing a lively business, as he has in fitting up the Volk's Gar den spared no expense in making it both pleasant and attractive, and we would say to the puljlio, that if they desire to enjoy themselves, they should attend the opening next Monday. Good music will be attendance. in CHEAP SHOES. Congress shoes at $1.00. Polish shoes at $1.00. Slippers at $1.00.

Wilaoa the Hero of the Hour He Begins the Excavation for the New Postoflice Building. Crusading is Bead King Alcohol Yet Lives. Lixcolx, Neb., May 29, 1874. Editor Omaha Ei-e: Enterprise has taken rapid and lengthy strides in Lincoln during the past few weeks. First, and perhaps the most important for our business interests, is the organiza tion of a Board of Trade. This had long been agitated, but without any decisive action being taken until Wednesday evening of last week, at which time a large and enthusi astic meeting of our business men was held, and preparations made to commence operations immediately. Upon this occasion the association was addressed by Dr. Converse and Chancellor Benton, each of whom demonstrated the feasibility of the eflbrt, and showed clearly the great benefits that must be derived from ita successful execution. Before ad journment, the President announced that the Board of Trade rooms, Hall's Opera House, would be open every evening, and that very soon they expected to have one of the best libraries in the State. Upon Thursday evening, the Free Congregational Society, was organ ized. It is composed of some of the best talent of our city, and promises much. While any association,which has for its object the emancipation of men's minds from the thralldom of dogmatic creeds and useless forms, which teaches that untrani meled thought, honest convictions, and independent action, is true manhood, should be hailed with de light. Yet, it is to be regretted that circumstances necessitated the for mation of a new society. But they did. The "Liberals" of Lincoln united and built a church a liberal Christian church, A minister of the Universalist denomination was engaged, and "all went merry as a marriage bell." The first step in the wrong direction, at least tended to mar the harmony of the society, was the organization of a Universa list denomination, which was to control the destinies of tho ghurch. Many who aided very materially In the building of the church, were'not Universalists, and objected. Mean while the pastor received a call to labor in a more extensive vineyard, and accepted. Speakers were then invited from abroad, and we listened with pleasure to some excellent practical sermons, from various ministers. But they were Unitari ans, and some of "the brethren" called it the Liberal, instead of the Universalist, church. For these two reasons, a few of the "brethren and sisters" of the Universaljst denom ination climbed up to the extreme pinnacle of their "ear," and wished that it be called the Universalist Church hereafter. Now, to be com pelled to think Universalism, is no better than to be compelled to think and act Methodism, or any other ism ; and accordingly, we have or ganized an association where we can think as we please, and call ourselves ditto. Last Sunday ever ning, the Rev. Mr. Sanborn, Unita rian, of Lawrence, Kansas, deliv ered an address under the auspices of this association on "The Religion of To-Day." It was a masterly ef fort full of practical sucreestions. alike for the Jew, the Gentile for all. The Opera House was crowded with an intelligent and appreciative audience. Thus, we have two or ganizations, one speaking for the business talent and enterprise of our business men ; the other, of talent and independence of thought and action on tne part or some of our citizens. The latter association Is now in search of some young Rob ert Collyer. Last Tuesday the excavation for the United States postoflice build ing was commenced. A oheor from the crowd assembled on the square at five minutes before eight o'clock announced that the first shovel full of dirt had been loosened. Now, we suppose, dirt xcill fly, at least Col. Wilson hints to that effect Crusading is dead, and all tliat Is left of that great' "tidal wave" in this place, is the Mayor. And that isn't much. By the way, there are one or two good jokes on our Mayor, which, we presume, some ot the Omaha roadorsof thp Bee have not heard: It" illustrates "that trite old saying, that when the temper ance folks select a candidate, he is invariably notorious for knowr mg nothing, oxcept to let whisky alone. True, that Is con siderable, but a little common schooling is a good thing. His name is Little, which signifies his knowl edge of spelling. When called upon to sjgn the first paper, he did it like this: "S. W. Little, Mare." If he hadsignedIt"Horse,"It would have been all right.
