A Card.
Allow me , through the columns of
your p psr , to return our thanks to
our employer , James B. Boyd , whoso
magnanimity has equaled , if not ex
ceeded , that of any other citizen in
our midst. His generous qualities
,
have time and again become the tub-
.
ject of much favorable comment In
this , community , but his action on
Chiistmns eve is no less striking
than many former ones , for
en that occasion he purchased
a sufficient number of turkeys to pre
sent each and everyone of hsa em
ployes with an elegant turkey. Now
wa volunteer to say that neither Mr.
Boyd , nor any other individual who
was not a personal observer , could
conceive the jubilant feelings of his
men when they were agreeably sur
prised in his market room by being
presented with a fine largo turkey.
But it is no less difficult to conceive
the feelings of many little ones at tbo
Chrhtnias table eulogizing the clever
action of James E. Bofd.
Wo ask you , Mr. Boyd , to accept
our thanks in return for your Christmas - '
mas gift , and to cross liande
with us in wishing you many
hnppy dayj in the future , and that
whatever business you tuny be en
gaged in may it prove more profitable
than the wiKlest dreams of your or
our imagination can conceive.

Installation of Officers for the
Masonic Lodges -in"
this City.
An Elegant Present to the
Master of St. John's Lodge.
Monday the three Masonic lodges
of this city met at the lodge room in
Masonic hall to install their officers
elected and appointed for the ensuing
year. Past Master Allen w s chosen
to act as grand master and Major
Gustavns Stevenson to act as grand
marshal ,
There was a large attendance and
the installation ceremonies were , as
usual , very impressive. The masters
installed were : John H. Butler , of
Capital Lodge No. 3 ; Gastavus Ander
son , of Covert Lodge No. 11 , and
James B. Bruner , of St. John's
Lodge No. 23. The latter
is re-elected for a third term and the
occasion was chosen for an appropriate
recognition of his faithful services
and their appreciation by the craft.
When ell the officers had been Installed -
stalled , Major Stevenson , past master
of St. John's Lodgestopped forward ,
and in a very neat and appropriate
speech presented Mr. Bruner with a
magnificent gold-headed cane , from
the members of his lodge. The cane
is from Max Meyer & Co.'s , and is
one of the most beautiful articles of
the kind they have ever had in stock.
The head is massive and beautifully
chased , while the stall' in , as usual , of
ebony. It is engraved on both sides ,
as follows : On one side , "St , Jchn'e
Day , December 27th , 1880 ; " on tno
reverse , "Presented to J. B. Bruner ,
W. M. , St. John's Lodge , No. 25 , A.
F. < A. M. , by his brethren , as a token -
ken of thtir esteem and regard. "
Mr. Bruuer , although taken by sur
prise , was equal to the occasion , and
responded iu a happy manner , allod-
ing to the past and present condition
of the lodge. It is now entirely ont
of debt and nourishing financially and
otherwise.
Speeches were made by other pist
masters present , and at a late hour the
lodge closed.
Omaha Chapter , No. 1 , Royal

A BATTERED BULLET.
A Mysterious Shot and the
Manner it Which it was
Discovered.
A daughter of Mr. John Evans ,
proprietor of the grocery and seed
store , Odd Fellows block , found , iu
ono of the upper rooms of his resi
dence , yesterday , a battered piece
of metal which the young lady took to
her father , to know what it was.
Mr. Evans , on examining it , found
what proved to be a battered piece of
lead , with ono end highly polished and
resembling a smull copper or' brass
rivet , Upon close examination it was
found that the leaden material had
once been a slug or bullet , such us are
j used in brass cartridges , and about
the size of a " 32-cillibre long. "
Mr. Evans at once proceeded to the
room where the bullet was found , and
soon discovered a small hole in ono of
the window p nes , which was of extra
double thick glass. The hole was
something over one quarter of an inch
in diameter ; the glass being shivered
and cracked for the distance of about
an inch in every direction.
When the ahot was fired , or who
fired it , is a mystery which will likely
never be explained , but in all proba
bility it was an accidental shot fired
by some carelo/s drunken man.
Mr. Evans is ciuUe thankful that
there was no more damage done , or
that none of the family were injured.

The Fuel Famine About Over
The recimt return of severe cold
weather brings up again the question
of the fuel famine , and we are glad to
say that a conversation with onr deal
ers has revealed ilia fact that the
scarcity cfc l is not cniy over , but
that it wa ? becoming almost a drug in
the market before the close of the last
warm spell. This h in accordance
with the prediction of General Man
ager Potter , of the 0. , B. & Q , wheat
at the time of greatest jilarm said that
a month or six weeks at the outside
would relieve the pressure.
The recent discovery of coal on the
opposite side of the river has renewed
the story of a vein of coal in this
city. It will be remembered that
during the process of digging the
Union Pacific artesian well there was
at ono time quite a sensation on the
reported discovery of coal , which
subsided when it was announced that
the well had been " "
"salted. A gen
tleman interested in such matters ,
and whose statements are believed to
ba perfectly reliable , Was re- j
cently Interviewed on the subject
aud , said it was no secret to him tl.at
thia secMon of the country is rich
with if coal depoeita. "I have known it
for f several years , " ho said.
"What knowledge do you refer to ?
asked the reporter. "I will tell you , "
. ho said , nod then he continued : ' 'Do
you remember that the Union Pacific
company put down an artesian well in
Omiha a couple of years ago ? "
Wo said we remembered it well ,
and then he proceeded : "Well , a
cousin of mine worked on that well.
He told mo that at ihe depth of 150
feet a seven foot vein of coal was dis
covered , and that as scon as the fact
was made known to the officials of the
road the men engaged in sinking the
well were paid to keep the matter a
secret. My couain , however , told me
about it , and I have kept the secret
until now. "
"I tell you this , " aaid our inform
ant , "to show you that the vein which
j has been etruck by Mr. Goise , in
Council Bluffs , is nfty feet deeper
than the one struck in Omaha. "
"What object h-ul theU. P. people
in keeping the discovery a sscret ] "
asked thu reporter.
"Tha object is thia , " ho answered :
' The company has large coal mines
of their own out rreet and they alee
moke largo sums of money in hauling
this coal to market , and that's why
thay desired to keep the new discov
ery from the people. "
"You think there can ho no mistake
about this matter , do you ? "
"Not the least in the world , " he
answered ; and then he continued , "I
have never told this to any one except
to Mr. Geise , and I told him only to
induce him to try the experiment of
sinking a well , and now that he has
discovered coal , the Union Pacific
company cannot be becefitted by Ion-
g-r w-thholdingthe secret of their dis

Death of Mr. William Stephens.
The news of the death of Mr.
William Stephens , late of the firm of
Stephens & Wilcox , this city , reached
his frienda in Omaha Monday.
Mr. Stephens had gone to visit his
father in Middle , Grove , Missouri , in
the hope that the change

grew gradually worse until
Sunday evening last when he expired.
The deceased was born in Missouri in
1834 and came to Omaha in 1805 ,
where he has been ever since engaged
in business. In his business as well
as his * social relations
Mr. Stephens inspired those
with whom ho iras brought in contact ,
with confidence in his integrity , and
respect and esteem for his many ad
mirable qualities of mind and heart.
In public enterprise ho was evnr in the
front rank , [ and he leaves many sub
stantial monuments to the value of bis
progressive views and determined ef
forts in'behalf of the city's interests.
The deceased leaves surviving him
wife sud fcur sons , with whom the
friends of the lost one will sympathize
deeply in their bereavement. The
remains will bo brought to this city
for interment , and trill bebniled from
the Christian ch/irch , of which he was
faithful
