FARNAM STREET.
An Important Incline ; of Property
Holders ,
1\\K \ Improvement Contemplated
for the Upper Portion oft lint
Thoroughfare.
A meeting of the principal property
wnora of upper Fnrnnni street was hold
Monday at the city engineer's office
o consider the advisability and propriety
of making an easy and uniform grade of
, ho street to the city limits nnd beyond.
\mong those present were \V. A. Pax-
on , Ben. Smith , Lyman llichardson ,
Charles Turner , Dr. Hart , Christ. Hart-
nan , D. T. Mount , E. Kosowator , W.
A. L. Gibbon , James Crcighton , John
A. McShnno and J. II. McShano.
A profile of the entire street ns it news
s from Ninth to the city limits was
hewn , nnd the now grade was agreed
upon by all present , with the exception
if two disnonting voices. This grade will
) cgin at Sixteenth street nnd go to the
ity limits. The cut nt the crossing of
Seventeenth street will bo four feet , nnd
nt Eighteenth street it will bo thirteen
oot. This will bo the deepest cut , nnd
nlsd the highest elevation this side of the
ccond hill. At Nineteenth street the
cut will bo eight foot , nnd from Nine-
conth to Twenty-secmid thcro will bo n
icavy fill. ! Si ° J
As agreed upon the line from Eigh-
conth to Twenty-second will bo upon novel
ovol , nnd the approach to the top of the
second hill will bo so gradually that it
vill hardly bo appreciated. Wcstwaid
rein the summit , near S. 11. Brown's
csidonco , there will bo cutting and fili
ng so that at no place- will there bo a
iao of more than six feet in a hundred.
The county commissioners have agreed
, o extend Farnam street in n straight
ino , 100 foot wide , nnd the property
owners beyond Thirtieth street , have
agreed to donate the ground necessary to
widen the street to that width.
It was concluded by all parties present
.hat such a grade would mnko Farnam
street the grand thoroughfare- Omaha ,
and that business would bo extended
clear out to Twenty-second street. All
jut two of the property owners present
signed n petition to the council waiving
; heir right to damages , nnd some of them
iavo subscribed liberally to pay whatever
damages may bo assessed.
The county commissioners have agreed
; o open this street clear to Elkhorn , nnd
probably macadamize four or five miles
of it into the country , and eventually
Macadamize it to the western limits of
; ho county.
With such a grade ns is proposed , Fnr
nam street will bo the easiest way to
reach Capitol hill and Woat Omaha , and
will bo the most feasible route for n street
railway to that part of the city. A per
son standing anywhere between Eight-
jenth nnd Twenty-second streets will
liavo an unobstructed view of Fnrnam
itrcot clear to Ninth , nnd n person stand1
ing at Ninth will bo nblo to sco n row of
; au lamps two miles long.

Monday was ono of the most bitter
and cold of the winter , and yet this did
not prevent largo numbers of our citizens
rom anxiously watching the dial plato of
lie clock and waiting until the two hands
> oth stood upright , when the "Happy
'Tow ' Year" was exchanged.
The boys , as usual , paid the last sad
ributo to the departed year , and with
; uns , firccrack6rs and anvils , welcomed
, ho advent of the incoming year , 1884.
A number of young men , armed with
rianglea , paraded the streets just
s the hands of the clock passed
ho twelve o'clock mark , and
s the clear and ringing tones of the three
ornorcd steels rang out upon the crisp
midnight air they produced n sound at
nco pleasant and beautiful.
Tlio various noises were kept up for an
our or so , when quiet oncu meta nettled
.own upon the city nnd its inhabitants
lumbered until the break of day.
All day long and upon every hand yes-
, crday was heard the glad welcome , "wish
'ou n happy _ Now Year , " and to
ho majority of our people it
s a happy Now Year. As the ledger is
jalimced , in many cases there is found to
> o n larger excess upon the credit side ,
rhich cannot fail to bring peace and
mppiness to the business man , and the
outlook for the year , upon which we
mvo just entered is oven moro promis-
ng than was that of the ono which has
ust passed away.
If all the good resolutions which
fore made yesterday would only bo kept
lie millonium would most certainly bo at
land. But alas , how many of them will
jo broken before twenty-four hours have
> asscd away. Some of them , however ,
rill bo kept , and these who make and
ccop them will bo far happier , if pormit-
od to witness the incoming of 1885 , than
now.
now.Tho number of gentlemen making calls
o-day was not as largo as in former
'oars. Whether the cold weather fright
ened them out , or whether the good
old custom is on the decline wo are un-
> roparcd to say. These who did bravo
, ho winter's blast and pay their respects
; o their fair friends were as well received
as over they have been in former years.
Last evening numerous little social
gatherings were held in various parts
of the city , which will close the holiday
cstivities for this season.
Thousands Say So.
Mr. T. W. Atkins , Gir.ird , Kan. , writes :
"I never hesitate ta recommend your Elec-
, ric Bittern to my customers , they give entire
satisfaction and are rapid Hellers. " Electric
Jitters are the purest and bent medicine
cnown and will positiv ely cure Kidney and
Liver complaints. Purify the blood and reg-
ulata the bowels. No family can afford to bo
without them. They will save hundreds of
dollars in doctor's bills every year. Sold at
iO cents a bottle y C v < i viin. n.
Cruelty to Animals.
It is absolute cruelty to animals to leave
; hem standing unprotected from the wind
and cold , on such a day as yesterday. All
day long , from early morn until the
shades of night had fallen , there were a
number of farmers' teams standing upon
Howard street , without a blanket or any
thing to break the vrind from them.
There they stood , all doubled up in a
licap , and shivering with the cold , while
their owners wore holding out for a half
dollar moro on a load of hay , and while
waiting for that half dollar they spend
two vrholo dollars at a neighboring gin
mill. This is quite frequently the case ,
and it is a pity that the faithful beasts
are not given humane treatment.
There are also a number of citizens of
this city who drive their horses down
town and leave them stand for hours to
gether without a blanket , when good
heavy lap robes for their own protection
are lyinc ; in the buggy.
Whatever you do , cover up yourhorscs
such weather as this.
