Vcslcr day ( May 21st ) WM the nnnivcwftry o the filing of the town pint of Wyinor ono year ago. During the week i vena ngroocl upon , wo would colobrnt that notable event in n manner botil ting the occasion nt the beautiful par in the curve of the river just south o the round house and machine shops n this placo. The pack ia easily reached by tw lines of railroad by taking train at tli foot of llluo River and Nebraska ave nues. Uuro some two thouiand pcopl ossemblod to hoar what the men luu to say who had transformed the Wy more farm into a pity of fifteen him drod inhabitants in thn short space cone ono year. Capt. C. M. Murdock , editor of Ihi Eoporler , wan sqlectnd as president o the day , and in a neat address , intro duced Elder J. R. Iloag , who hold the vast concourse of people Bpcll < bouni by his matchless cloquonco recount ing the otrugglca nnd pcrpluxitiee through which wo have nnsun in thu short space of ono year to become a city of the second class. llev. Powell , of Kearney , delivorot the afternoon oration , it was grand ii its conception , and delivered with ease and grace. The i ) , it M. band hero onlivcne the pntiro occasion with Boul-atirrini , music , every member of which is ni artist in his profession , nnd nlthougl it has scarcely boon organized six weeks , performs with onse the musl dillicult operatic productions. Miss Olio Hoag presided at the or gan ably nssistcd by Sirs. ] { . ] { , Wqods and the Misses Dodds , J , U , Dodds and others. The music pro duced by this choir was really sub- lime. Among many distinguished persons present wo noticed many pa trons of Tun BEB , prominent among the number was H. A. Greenwood and family , AVm. H. McClelland and fam ily , 111. Leach and family , Mr. Wil liams , banker , Blue Springs ; R. R. Woods , agent and superintendent of B , & M. railroad here ; Mosssra. Dilts and Fetters , hardware merchants ; 0. F. Craig , hardware merchant ; and several hundred * railroad men , em ployes ot the B. & Mi railroad coin' ' pany , of whom it is duo them to say wo never have yet seen a more order ly , circumspect and gentlemanly clues of men gathered together upon an oc casion like this. Not an accident mar red the pleasure of the occasion and all wont away resolved to work as earnestly in the year to come asin the year past to increase our city's popula tion to three thousand by our next an nivorsary. D. J. E. UNDER THEiG.a.SIilGHT. The Concert Saloons of Chicago. Chicago lleiald. The concert saloon nuisance acorns to bo on the increase. FOnco confin ed to a few localities on South Clark and tStnto streets , it has spread up and down these thoroughfares , crept up Clark street across the bridge , and spread itself promiscuously about the West Sido. It flourishes with greatest luxuriousnosa on Clark street for a few blocks south of Jackson , and on State street south of Van Buron. Hero , within a short walk , are over thirty of these places. They are all much alike , a description of ono answering well lor the'rest. The locality is indicated by the dis cordant notes of an alleged song , the shrill , piercing voice.being that of-a female , accompanied by the mournful wail of a much abused piano. Enter ing , ono finds an ordinary bar much besplashed with lager beer tossed about by the impudent waiters , whoso apprenticeship to a thriving business makes "bad men" of them all. Bact of the bar , swinging doors open upon a fair sized room bi'yond. Upon a raised stand at ono side is a piano , being very badly treated bv a power ful and groaay looking foreigner in his fihirt sleeves and sinokingarank cigar. Up and down the room are scattered small tables , while at the back is a pool table , where some hoodlums are play ing for the beer. Around the small tables are clustered various groups of mnlo humanity , all drinking , some very drunk , others promising soon to bo , ThcBo men are nearly" all young , and of two classes , ignorant mrchan- ics who uro familiar with such places , but caru for nothing butter , and coun try rustics , to whom it is either en tirely now or a very infrequent expe rience. These latter are drawn large ly from the otockmen , who como by ttie train-load to the stock yards every day , got como money , and then go down "to ace the sights , " and spaud 14 . The slock in trade of thcso places , Iho chief roliancu of the proprietor For the sale ot his poisonous liquors ind bad boor are the trirls who osten sibly are there to sing. The usual number in each palace ia four. They ilo sing ; that is , they takn turns in climbing up by the side of the piano md superintending in a cracked , dis cordant and monotonous voice , the execution and burial of some popular ballad. Between the intervals of song the girls circulate around among the mpn at the tables , bandying words with them freely , and by every moans Inducing the men to drink. When a man is a little backward hois cajoled by familiar caresses at the hands of tlio brazpn-facod tempters , who at anco sound their man , and put him through what they call among them selves "tho straight racket. " The most popular girl is she who gets the most custom for the house. A man is Incontinently bounced who will not "buy a drink for the lady" God save the mark ! ' If ho buyH a drink ho is next induced to treat the other girls , md if ho atill proves an easy victim ho is not then apt to get out of the [ oils until all his money ia gono. The sirens will cluster around him , excite him with caresses , drug his liquor if necessary , nnd keep him in tow until they are released from duty , when the chicken is dragged uway to the room of the captor to bo plucked at leisure and then thrown into the street. Those girls are almost all young in peara , but very , very old in tin. Many of thorn have been pretty , * nd i few once had good roices and some attractiveness of manner , bat a short sojourn in a concert h ll killi the lut ipark of womanhood , and leaves them but vultures , while the frequent pota ( ions render lioarso and har h th sweetest voice. A Herald missionary pocprd into several of thcso places last night. It ono a tall girl was following "Over th the Garden Wall" in a voice like a guiiuaii hen , while a litilo hunchbacl scrambled sftcr her on the piano Taking n seat at a side table the mis dlonary was hardly in the chair when the song ended , and the vocalist do ftconded amidst hearty applause fron the rough-looking occupants of the other tables. The singer snatched tin glass of a hard-fisted mechanic am drained oil his liquor , much to hi amusement ; then as another girl be gati toeing she crossed over , and wit ha f.imiliar ' hoUo , " sat down by the mis sionary. She was a decided brunette and showed traces of having once boot more than pretty. 8ho was evidently not over twenty , well formed , witl largo oycs whoso luster was somowha dimmed by frequent potations , whiol were also indicated unmistakably Iv the fullness of the face under the oyi-s Shu was not so heavily painted as the rest and , withal , looked quito intolli [ out. She responded promptly to tin mvitation to "havo something , ' tak ing a rod circus lemonade. After a lew questions and answers and onotli or drink the singer talked quite freely Finally , after crossing to u neighbor ing table and taking a drink with a cow-boy-looking party who openly as aurtod that she was "staying too Ion ; with that etiff , " she camu back , mu after repeated invitations conscntcc lo toll her story. "lam just twenty. You would : hink I was older ; wouldn't you ? 1 ivi d all my Hfo in Alabama.

" "I don't care haw soon it ends"stud , ho girl mounfully , but almost instant- y recovering herself laughed heartily aid called tor another drink. The Irink was forthcoming , and then the niciionary said good night. The pro- iriotor of the place , a sharp featured American , was found outside , and the nissionary , introducing himself as Inthony Comstock , was well received. After some remarks of the usual ria- ure , the conversation turned upon the irlti who sang. "Is it hard to secure girls for such work ? " "No , it's easy enough to cot girls , mt it's hard to got the kind I want. ' . have applications every day , but lioso that como are either old disre- mtnbles that I don't want , or not 'fly ' mough * to attract custom. " "What are the bestqualitics in that ind of stock ? " "Well , so long as they are sharp nough to get those raw suckera to buy tlonty of drinks , that's about all I are for. " "How late do you work them ? " "O , we have to close at 12 o'clock , ou know , " with a wink that said he losed when ho pleased. "These girls 11 room near hero , and of-course they makn part of their living outside. No , hey don't pretend to be virtuous ; in act I would not have much use for a jirl that was too good. " The conversation was then directed o the songstress who had just told her tory. ' Nell ? oh yes , aho'a a pretty good sort of cirl , but awfully unrelia ble. " . "She seems to have had quito a fall nlifo. " The proprietor gave a keen glance at his questioner and then laughed leartily. "Sho'a been a otufllu' you. What atory did she tell you ? the ono about her step-mother , or about being educed by a minister in Canada ? " The story was repeated by the aa- onishod inquirer , and identified by ho chuckling proprietor , who asid lint the girl was the daughter of a oamstor who lived on Halsted street , nd had never been outside of Chi- ago. That ho know her people , and Imt the girl met her ruin by too fro- ucnt visits to the dago shops , whcro lie mot and drank with all sorts of non She was romantic , and do- ghtod in nothing bqttur than to find orao ono who would bcliovo her torics , which she wove quite skill- ully.
