MAYOIl BOYD'S REHl'ONSK.
Mayor Boyd in response said :
GENTLEMEN It is the most difficult
ask ot my life to respond in fitting
erins to such a reception as this. To
> e the chief guest of the beat business
and mercantile men of this city , is
; ho greatest honor that could have
joon conferred Upon mo. Pope says ,
"Act well your part. There nil the
lionor lies. " I may bo pardoned if I
say that I have tried to do this. If I
liavo over done anything worthy of
your commendation it is because I
Imvo endeavored to live up to this
maxim. The only time that I re
member of not counting the cost , was
when I made the proposition to build
the opera house on yonder corner ,
I discovered , after commencing ,
that the outlay would bo mora than
twice as great as expected , but when
I found myself so ably seconded by
the gentlemen here this evening I
had too much pride to put my name
to any other than an opera house
worthy of this great city and its pee
ple. [ Applause. ] Men live in deeds
rather than in years or in thoughts.
What I shall bo able to accomplish for
the city of Omaha in the future 1
shall do. What I have already done
you can best judgo. As long as ]
live the memory of this greeting and
reception shall bo to mo the proudest
thought I can enjoy. Gentlemen , 1
thank you. [ Applause. ]
The other formal toasts were then
responded to as follows :
"Why should you fear ? Is not your
city si rongt" Titus Andronlcus. Act
IV , So. 4. Hon. Ezra Millard.
"Good , my lord , will you see the play
ers well bestowed. Do you heart Let

Fred Nye.
Mr. Nye commenced by remarking
that ho was not prepared and thor
"brought down the house ! ' by producing -
ducing a roll of manuscript , which lie
read :
There are some men in this work
whom wo could not got along without.
There is the man who moots you on
the street , and with a dcsiro to bo at
once pleasant and full of information
Bays : "It's a pleasant day , " or "It'a
a diiagrooablo day , " and loaves you to
think about it ; there is the man who
cheerfully inquires with no possible
ahow of receiving an answer , "Well ,
'What's ' the good word ? " and there is
the omnivorous , insatiate fiend who
shoots a penetrating interrogation
point at you , and iuks you "What's
the iiows. " Of all men who inhabil
the earth ho is the most ubiquitious.
His craving for news is never satis
fied. Like the man with an appetite
for champagne at a banquet , the jnore
ho gets , the inoro ho wnnle.
Some years ago a man who had boon
bored to death by people who stopped
dim on fho street and asked him the
news , concluded ho would execute a
scheme. Ho bougljt some load , took
lampblack and oil and concocted some
ink , bought uomo paper and wont to
printing. It docs not matter who this
man was probably everybody hero
knows but myself. I have not in
quired his namoj but I liavo satisfied
myself as to the cause of his enter
prise. His newspaper was born to
uuwcr a great , overwhelming interro
gatory an interrogatory that began
when Adam asked Eve where she pro
cured that excellent quality of apple ,
and will end only when the heavens
arc rolled up an n scroll upon which
shall bo printed in burning letters the
very latest news from the conflaara-
; ion.
ion.Sinco
Since the desperate man who in
vented the newspapers put forth his
irat edition ( and claimed of course n
argor circulation than that of all
other journals combined thorp has
> eon some improvement in "bringing
, ho news. " Tno messenger boy on
lorsoback has been struck by light
ning and disappeared ; the fast stage
coach has collided with a locomotive
and has vanished ; the ocean ships ,
that once raced hazardously to decide
what American newspaper should first
publish the news from Europe have
'urled their sails and quietly glided
down into a thankless oblivion. Now
wo know what happens in Liverpool
or London before the citizen of Liv
erpool or London knows it , and it will
irobably not bo very long before Liv
erpool or London news will bo telegraphed -
graphed from this side of the ocean to
; ho citizens of these cities , in order
Imt they may have the benefit of
tnowing what they arc about as soon
as wo do.
Considering my profession it does
not become mo to say that the news
papers of Omaha have improved since
the publication of the first edition of
iho first Omaha newspaper. But I
may bo pardoned the expression of
the opinion that they have , when I
call to my corroborntion a man who
irrircd on the hold of Omaha journal
ism shortly after the birth of the tirst
newspaper , and , by virtue of his con-
; inuous connection with Nebraska
journalism of the truly religious
, -arioty since that timn , has grown
to bo the respected and admired
father of the family of scribblers who
bring the news to the people of this
itato. Ho knows what has been the
history of Nebraska journalism , for
bas been a part ot it ho knows what
lias boon its improvement , for of that
too ho has been a conspicuous part.
[ t has seemed to mo that this gen
tleman was the ono peculiarly
fitted to bring news of the news to you
to-night , and I could heartily wish
that it might have been so. My con
nection with the press of Omaha haslet
lot been such as brought mo in con
tact with its history. Dropping for a
moment into autobiography , I may
say , anent the subject of journalistic
improvement in Omaha , that the
icwspaper I projected in'Omaha is
rory much improved being dead.
While it is true that nobody in partic
ular wanted it living , it is true , no
loubt , that in its death it supplied a
eng felt want. It wont to pieces , so
may it rest in peaco. I hud wished
or a moment , when I received the ac
ceptance from your committee of my
offer to speak this evening , that it had
not bosn dead under which circum
stance it would have nt.beon BO much
3asier < for me to have brought the
News ; but the regret was momenta
ry. I am happier and so much
wealthier without it.
It is not supposable , to judge from
the quality and flavor of surrounding
objects , that you invited a newspaper
: nan4o a feast with the idea of nearing -
ing him produce any protracted noise
that ifl not intimately connected with
clatter ot the knife and fork or
the gurgle of the throat aa it proceeds
to liquidate. Whatever may bo the
'ailings of my profession , abstemious
ness is not ono of thorn- and in com-
non with my brethren I have been
lately suffering a drouth. The nnti-
.roating law has boon a cruel stab at
.ho liberty of the press.
fhoufjh it may bo honest , it is never good
To bring bad news ; give to a gracious mes
sage
An host of tongues ; but let ill tidings
tell ,
Themselves , when they bo felt.
An envious newspaper of St. Jo-
oph says that the Omaha newspapers
liavo done ton thousand dollars -worth
of free advertising for Boyd's opera
house. So do it. The message is a
gracious ono. Wo have given it a host
of tongues. We have proclaimed it
until the man in the west who does
not know the beauties and utilities of
our opera house and the generosity
and enterprise of the man whoso
name it bears , "would make u double-
extra member of the jury who will
sometime try to try Guiteau. And
wo Bhall continue to give a thousand
tongues to the amusements nt the
opera house , to the graciouanoss of
the proprietor and to the accomplish
ments of the manager , until wo pass
away forever or until the proprietor
or the manager shall refuse to pass us
into the thoato r.
Wo that do bring the news do
promise that in the effort of our ohiel
citizen to favor , benefit nnd dolighl
ui , wo shall continue to see great matter -
tor for congratulation. Wo uro prom
of him proud of the monumonttohia
kindly heart and onorgotio mind whicl
ho has erected. And it shall bo out
task to so give tongue to that pride
that the memory of him will continue
potent in the hearts of the men am
women of Omaha so long aa the noble
structure , whoso completion wo are
now commemorating , shall last on
earth. Generous docds nnd manly
hearts are the good things of lifo the
gracious messages which are never
told t ( o often or too well.

was finally concluded by the presonta

TWO OF A KIND.
A Festive Couple Who Are In
Trouble.
Brought to n Stand-Still by a Re-
qnliitlon.
Among the east bound passengers
yesterday afternoon -was Fred Wirth ,
proprietor of the City hotel , in Omaha ,
who left for Chicago. Fred was feei
ng very pleasant on the subject of his
visit toward the great western metrop
olis and explained by relating some *
hing of interest to many former nnd
mssont residents of this city.
About three years ago Wirth signed
a surety for a man named Bicrwith ,
vho was then the leader of the
Dwonty-tliird infantry regiment band
lore. All of Blorwith's goods nnd
urnituro were roplovincd in n civil
matter , and it waa on the attachment
saued to conflict with the replevin
hat Wirlh became surety. Ono
morning soon after the issu
ance of the attachment , Wirth
discovered that his "friend , '
vjfo and baggasq had all disappeared
o'gothcr. In ' "duo time ho paid the
amount claimed 'against the goods ,
ibout $350 , and proceeded to look for
lis man.
Ho has continued to keep watch for
parties since , but had lost track of
hem when Constable Edgorton , of
his city , accidontly discovered their
whereabouts , which was in a small
ilaco in Illinois , and offered to
nako the arrest. A requisition
was first obtained on the governor
of Illinois and Edgorton wont af-
.er his game. When ho arrived
at the place they were
supposed to bo living in , no learned
o his dismay that they had suddenly
akon "French leave1 , and had
andod in Chicago. For several days
10 has been looking for thorn , and
only on Tuesday discovered their
whereabouts.Ho made the necessary
arrests from the requisition and tolo-
jrnphcd Wirth for instructions , any-
ng that Biorwith wanted to "negoti
ate. " Wirth accordingly went on
to Chicago yesterday to make the
would-bo negotiator pony up the full
amount with in'orest , or the unworthy
pair will bo brought back to Nebraska
md summarily dealt with.

We wcro much pleased to see our

of much credit for his enterprise , and

BENEKE'S BUDGET.
A Stabbing Affray and an O ver-
coat Theft.
Other Criminal Matters.
Casper Farko , a Gorman living in
South Omaha , who has not been over
from the fatherland a proat while ,
was brought before Judge Boncko yes
terday , on the complaint of his
brother-in-law , Henry Atdorf. The
charge was an * assault with a deadly
weapon , with intent to wound. It
acorns that Farko had purchased
ticket , and was going over
the sea to bring his family to America
but yesterday a little fuss arose in
the family and Atdorf tried to put
Farko out of his houso. The latter
resisted , nnd in the course of the
mclco stabbed his relative in the head
with u pocket knife. The wound is
not serious. Caspar was bound over
