TIKK'H LINCOLN nuntiAU.1 Dr. Thomas , nsslstcil by Dr. Gerlh and oilier professional gentlemen , hold mi autopsy yesterday on the clog which died of hydrophobia last \vcok. Tlio o\dcnecs ! of the fearful disease wore plainly appar ent , and it wns pronounced onu of tl.o best developed cases that ever came un der medical observation. The brains , lungs and Intestines were all badly con gested , and the bladder empty and dis eased. The dog is known to have bitten Ihrco oilier canines mul tlirco htnnnii beings - ings , the two Mnlono boys and their inotlier , before ho wns taken in charge by Dr. Thomas. Ho was innoculntcd by the dog which bit Domlna , tlio Windsor liouf-o engineer , anil began to develop fiymptoms nbotil six days after. When first seen by Dr. Thomas thu dog was un naturally active , uxhlblling a morbid tendency to bite and snap at everything. Aversion to lood and water followed. Then came tits and a frothing at tlio month and finally paralysis1. When it was known it was genuine case of rabies , the IMalono's became frightened and started Saturday for Carllon , Mo. , to bo treated by a woman who owns a so-onllcd mad- mono. The arrival of Dondna at Paris is not ycl noted , although watched for anx iously by liis friends hero NO MONIIV FOR 8KWEIW. The proposition to vote $100,000 in sewerage bonds was defeated Saturday S. ! > 8 to 12.1. The bonded indebtedness of Lincoln is now $ : iG7,000 , and many tax payers feel that the load is about all they ran carry , the Jew for all purposes being about 0 per cent. Still if a suitable sys tem of sewers was provided , the money would bo forthcoming. Tlio voting ilown of tlio bonds Saturday was more in the nature of a rebuke to the promoters of the utterly inadequate plan of drainage - ago proposed than an evidence of tlio un willingness of the peonlo to spend money for necessary improvements. AVII1T1IKU AUK WK IWIFTINO. The statement of several property owners that they are paying taxes of about ( I per cent on u one-third valua tion , being accepted as true , is it not time for those interested in the wol- laro and good name of the city to make a little inquiry into its financial con dition. In Omaha , where miles of pave ment have been laid , a thorough system of sewerage put down , and numerous high hills leveled , the total tax is about 7 por.ccnl on none-tliird valuation assessment. In Lincoln , where no pub lic improvements have yet been attempt ed , the low is 0 per cent. What does it mean ? "Whither are wo drifting ? I.ANCASTr.lt AOItlCULTUKAL SOCIBTV.

Shelby , of the Union Pacific , with headquarters at Salt Lake City , arrived in a special cur yesterday morning , to confer with the management prior to leaving on the Sid instant to attend the transcontinental mooting at Now York. Mr. Shelby has so far spent but ono week in Salt Lako. and since his departure bunco has passed the remainder of the two weeks in Denver. A heavy laud slide occurred yesterday near The DaDes ( Ore. ) on tlio Oregon Hallway and Navigation line , a con nection of the Union Pacific , A largo section of a mountain side bccamo de tached by the thaw of fallen snow , and with its trees and rocks precipitated into the valley bolow. The track Tor several hundred yards was completely covered , many feet ducp , and the greater part of a week will bo required to clear for traf fic again. A largo force is already at work. A terrific blizzard is now prevailing on the "High Linn" of the Union Pad no in Colorado , and travel is suspended. To the consternation of a largo number of headquarters employes , It is rumored Hint the Union Pacific will within a day or two issue an order requiring all steno graphers to pay for their own typo writ ers. This edict will bo greeted with nil the protest that those affected d.iro make. The short hand men claim Unit the typewriters writers arc their tools and tlio property of tlio company , thus making it right and necessary for the company to provide them. 1'AYINO MlSlvrS IN OOM ) . Van AVyok'B Bill Soon to llccclvc At tention. A Washington special , dated January 29 , to the Chicago Tribune , says : "Sen ator Van Wyck's bill , forbidding the making of contracts for the payment of debts in gold will receive attention in the senate next week , as tlio Nebraska soim- tor expects to make n speech on the sil ver question. There is already some dis cussion as to the constitutionality of his proposition. Senator Van Wyck said this evening ho could not sue why the 1)111 ) was not en tirely In accordance with the constitution . .Bankers and money lenders discriminated against u portion of the legal tender money of the country when they made their loans payable in gold only. The people had a right to tlio use of tlio inonoy provided for them by the government , and any law which pre served that right must ho constitutional. Jhlef Justicu Chase bad clearly stated ho case in an opinion delivered by him n December , 1800 , in the case of tliu Vcazie bank against Fenno , involving ' .ho right of the government to impose a , : ax of 10 per cent on tlio bank notes "sued by state banks. The purpose of ho tax was to drive the stale banks out of existence , to give place to the newly- created national banks. Justice Chnso said : "Having thus in the exorcise of undis- mted constitutional powers undertaken o provide a currency for the whole coun try , it cannot , be questioned that con- fi'tias may constitutionally secure the licnclit of it to this people by appropriate legislation. * * * Without the power , intleed , its attempts to secure n sound : ind uniform currency must be futile. " In accordance with this decision the tax was sustained , although a dissenting opinion was delivered by one of the asso ciate justices. The statement that a man night refuse to sign a loan made payable only in gold did not affect tlio Status of the question , in Senator Van Wyck's opinion. The whole matter rested solely on the securing to the people tlio use of all tlio money coined by the government which was legal-tender. The State Farmers' Alliance. The sixth annual meeting of the Ne braska State Farmers' alllaneo will beheld hold at Hastings on February 21 , at 2 p. in. All alliances which have been organ ized in tliis state are invited to send rep resentatives , and al } farmers who favor the objects of the alliance , viz : Securing lower rates of transportation. Securing a larger representation of the farming interest in our legislature and in congress. Equalizing tlio burdens of taxation. Limiting the encroachments of incor porated capital upon the producing and commercial interests and the political rights of the people. And by all legitimate means elevating and promoting the general welfare of the farmers , are earnestly invited to attend and take part in the proceedings of this meeting without distinction ot creed or party. As Hon. C. II. Van Wyck is preeminently nently the representative of the farmer * of this state , and as tlio ring organs and railroad cappers arc conspiring to pre vent his return to thu United States sen ate , measures for securing tlio united in fluence of the farmers of the state in favor of liis re-election will be adopted , and all farmers who are in favor ot liis rc-oleetion arc cordially invited to attend. Propositions for enlarging and im proving the plan of organization of the Alliance will bo submitted , and steps taken to strengthen and extend the or ganization. Those matters will make this mooting a very interesting and important occasion. Let it also bo n representative one , and exceed , if possible , in magnitude and en- llmsi-ism thu former meetings held at Hastings. The annual election of olllccrs will also lake place. J.

Prospective Advantages to Oin'nha Mnyne's HlR IMtrolinse Hopeful * ness of Dealers ntul He- Bulls of the Week , The week which has just closed has jcen almost uneventful in Iho real estate world Snow and cold have operated lo deter pcoplo not alone from purchasing , but even from attempting an inspection of the property on salo. And yet , deal ers have had but little reason to be dis pleased. All of thorn have nindo some sales , while some of them * claim to have exceeded their estimates made in the opening of the year , The great event of the week was the purchase by C. E. Mayno of a tract of 12-1 acres from S. II. H. Clarke. The consideration was StOD.OOO. This aided materially in swelling the volume of transfers. Last week tlio dally average of the latter did not exceed if'J.i.OOO.while , during the past week , Iho daily showing approaches $10,000. , The purchase of this largo tract has given rise to some speculation as to who aru thu real purchasers , and for what purpose it was thrown upon the market. C. B. iMiiyno has ligurcd as the purchas- er.though some of his brothers in the real estate business seem to think that hu has associates whoso names , for politic rea sons , tire kept from the public. Another theory is that , as the ground is in rather a delightful and attractive part of the city , it lias been seized upon by some of thu informed members of tlio cable line , who wisli to benefit themselves out of the other industry in which their money is to bo invested. it is generally known that the cable line street railway company was organ ized several years ago. To most people , even to the members themselves , it nas been an organization on paper. Lately , however , it is claimed to bo getting ready for active lifu. With n charter which gives it exclusive right to many excellent tlioroughtares in this city , it is believed to bu thu intention of the corpora tion to extend its lines in many directions , mainly toward the northwest , where thu eligible property bought by Maync is situated. Some people ple tool that behind Mr. Maynu is n syn dicate of tliis cable company who hold thu property subject to certain limita tions. Whether this bo true or not , the inct is indisputable that the anticipated springing into life of tliu cable road has stimulated a number with greater hopes and promises , while it has also induced others to remove their lands from the market with the determination of await ing the inception of the enterprise and tlio increased value which It will bring to their realty. This is known to bo the reason assigned by u certain pair of citi zens wiio arc interested in an addition on the west. They own possibly half a milu on either side of ono of our through streets. Along this thoroughfare , it is expected the cable line will bo run , and , when extended , ' cannot do otherwise than materially appreciate the value of their property. Dodge. ODavcnport , on the west , and Tenth , Eleventh and Sixteenth streets on the south , oiler special facilities for tlio building of tins road , and some one of thuso will doubtless bo selected on which to climb tlio hills to thu beautiful country beyond. There is n strong foolini' that the work of building this line will be commenced early this spring , and pushed through with rapidity , especially toward the west. This will be an important fac tor , not alone in tliodevelopmcnt but also in the appreciation of the property in that part of Iho city. Another will bo the viaducts. When these shall bo ex tended across the tracks on the south , nu impetus will also bq given to property in that part of the uity , which , for some years backs has boon neglected in tlio at tention which other localities have in spired. This ) > art of tlio city has many valuable and picturesque sites , thu impor tance of which will bo recognized bolero many weeks. C. E. Mayno "I find a difference in my business tliis week as compared with that of last week. That man thoru ( point ing to a clerk ) is busy all day making out deeds , and although my sales arc not as numerous as they might bo , they are such as to satisfy me. They would have boon greater if this cold and snowy weather hadn't prevailed. I have more than seventy-live names of intending pur chasers whom I have agreed to taku to sco property , Iho first favorable day I can find. Besides I have a number of seekers after interior property who are looking out for mercantile investments and loca tions. 1 shall probably soil a part of my recent puichaso from b. II. II. Clark in bulk. The remainder I shall probably plat , and sell at a reasonable price. " Amos & Co. "We have done a fair and safu business. The greater part of our trade has been on inside properly , though the number of outside transfers would have boon greater if we could have in duced the weather and snow to consider our wishes. Wo have had a number of inquiries about aero property , which , together with thosu of other species , war rant us in tlio belief that the future is to bo most promising. " Morse & Urunor : "Wo hayo exceeded our greatest expectations during thu past month. Wo did not expect to do any thing hcarcoly during January , yet our commissions alone amounted to $1,000. Yesterday wo'sold a Jot on tlio map , ' Wo had never seen it. neither had the purchaser. Our largest sale was for 12,000 , our smallest $250. Inside prop- crty. in every part of Iho city , except the south , has been in demand , and when thu snow clears away wo expect the requests for outside land will bo in proportion. " Cunningham & lirennan : "In about three weeks wo hayo sold about forty eight acres of ono eighty aero tract known as Washington Hill. Northeast of that wo havu platted city lots null on the first day they wore opened for sale wo disposed of a largo number. Our greatest demand is for outlying property , and wo sometimes find thosu to whom wo soil in largo parcels at low rates , and oven then moro than satisfy ourse.lvus , As with almost every other firm , we pre sume , the cold has interfered witli usand wu aru awaiting a raising of the siege which the snow has maintained so long.

Ho plekwl-flp a chair and com menced to belabor u young colored woman who was siltilig on the sofa.

"Seo h'yar , I shows yo' what ho done , " and tlio girl yanked oil" her hood and advanced with bared head to the throne of justice. "Go nwao , " returned the judge , "I'll take your word for it. " "Tlionyo' see h'yali , T jest wants yo' to ceo do marks. " said the girl , turning to Roundsman Wlialcn and olforing to ex hibit her woolly cranium. "No.no , you won't , " murmured that officer laughing and blushing , " 1 don't care to look. " Shu took her scat and re placed bur hood. Butler wns fined $15 and costs and committed to the county jail in default. John Dreskol , charged with drunken ness , had his ease continued. The cases of Barney Shannon , Larry Casey. M. J. Kennedy and Arch McCoy wore disposed of as noted elsewhere. TALKS AVITH'TUAVKM-JIIS. Short Interviews Outlicrcil In tlio Hotel Itotutulas. A. 1) .

The importance of the lloiito lo the City Prospective 1'uhllo ami Private Improvements Pol- tics mul Piety. FIIKMONT , Nob. , Jan. CO. At last the question is settled whether the I'renumt , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad would run through and around our city , or whether they would continue to use the UY" cast of Fremont , thereby adding greatly to their running expenses and dis gusting every traveler by backing in and out of Fremont. Sovornl days ago L. 1) . Hiulumts re ceived a communication from P. K. Hall , construction manager of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , wno had just returned to Cedar Itnplds from a conference with tliu ollicers ot tlio Chicago & Northwestern at Chicago , saying that the estimate of tlio clti/.ens' committee of § 25,000 , for right of way through and nrouiul the city would bo accepted. The line proposed , and which is now agreed upon , through the city , will follow closely tlio Union Pacific until it reaches thu outskirts of the city on thu west , then run due north until a point is reached about half a miln north of the city limits , tlion run northeast until they strike their old line just this side of Nickur on. This makes almost a complete circle of the town , and will give the traveler a very dillereiit im- prcsMon of Fremont from that which ho would got from backing in and out as they arc now doing. This route is very .satis factory to our people , who havu assisted thu company in getting around tliu town as cheaply as possible , keeping in view all the tune , of course , the rights of the people to reasonable damage. 1 will say further , that the company havu shown a disposition to be very fair and thu friend ship existing between the company and the citizens of Fremont is very mutual. The fact that the road is to bo built around the town settles also the location of the bridge across tlio Platte on their line lo Lincoln. The bridge will be built six miles west of Fremont , the line of road running almost parallel with the Union Pacific on tliu north side , until it reaches the point to turn south. This is alM > very satisfactory to the re tailers of Fremont , for if there is a sta tion built , on tliis linu between Wahoo and the Platte river it will bo built in that territory , which is tributary to North I'cnd as a trading point , and will not in jure the retail trade of Fremont. The Omaha Herald has our railroad af fairs considerably mixed. In a recent issue it said that Fremont was goisig lo give a bonus of $25,000 to got the F. E. tte M. V. to build into the town. The. fact is that the company has not asked for a cent , buion the other hand lias agreed to pay reasonably for all the damage to property homers. A committee ap pointed at a public meeting lias made nil estimate of the damages , which every one concedes to bu just , which foots up less than f&'j.OOO. ' Now the company has asked that the cili/.ens give them a guarantee that their right ot way in and around the city shall not cost them more than thu estimate $23,000 madn by this citizens' commit tee. This is all the company has asked , and thu guarantee has been given over " 00 uiti/.ens signing the bond. Taking everything into consideration , our people bavo every reason to feel happy anil I guess they do as the pros pects for Fremont never looked so bright. The wholesale trade of Fremont for the year 18.)5 reached nearly $1,000,001) , ) , and with the now territory open ing both north and south they confidently expect then the business of 188(5 ( lo show u largo increase over the preceding year. Messrs. liullock & Nilsson have just opened a wholesale and retail furniture store and have an inimeiisu stock to sell from. Several propositions have been made our citizens by eastern capitalists to es tablish a pork packing house near the city. Those propositions arc now being considered and there is but littlu question but that by nuxt fall Fremont will have a largo packing house ready for operation. Eastern parties are also corresponding with thu board of tradu relative to opening a wholesale boot and shoo and : i wholesale harness business. A caiinni" factory is also under considera tion. Wo may not bo able to secure till th'jso ' industries tliis coming year , but wo do propose to have some of tncm , and all of them if possible. The agent of Mr. Morgan of Chicago , thu party who has thu contract for put ting in the water works , is now in tlio city , and superintending the distribution of thu water mains. As soon as the weather will permit work will bo com menced on the tower and the whole sys tem pushed to completion as fast as pos sible. . Speaking politically , religiously and morally , there is nothing particularly now or striking to chronicle. The repub licans , recognizing two facts , viz. : that we tire now living under a democratic administration , and that theru aru more democrats in Dodge county than republi cans are living in peace and harmony , fueling possibly a little sere that the "pap" upon wliioh they have no long fat tened is now being nursed from the public crib by the other dog. Neither is there any ill feeling between the slaughter house democrats and tlio packing house democrats. They also were living in poacu ( Y ) and harmony ( V ) The love which they boar for each other is only to bo compared to thu love which Pythias born Damon. So tire both well satisfied. That is , thu S. II D's are satis- lied that they huvo all thu public patronage - ago to which this immudiato vicinity is entitled , and of this tact tlio P. II D's are well satisfied. So I argue that both are satisfied. Our neoplo scorn lo bo as pious as over , and although wn have had neither Moody , Hogan , Harrison or Sam Jones hero to tell us of the error of our ways , or to dwell upon their miraculous escape from thu dutches of thugentloman from the nclliur regions , wo think our chances for a front right band scat in thai other and better world exceedingly good. Morally wo stand as high as over , not withstanding tlio North Hond Flail bays thai thu rogues and villains eventually become thu financiers of our institutions. As a matter of fact our peoplu are now and have boon on their good behavior , paying strict attention to business , believing - lioving that this coming season Frumont will have the "biggest boom" shu has over had , and ready to assist in that agreeable enterprise.

" 1 3oo tlio Bni : claims that the niuslo played on the Salvlni night at the Hoytl consisted of 'chestnuts , ' " said a nicmbcr of the Omnha Musical Union orchestra , a few days ago. "It also took exception to the number of men who composed the orchestra on that occasion. Now 1 want to say that the overture with which the night was opened so far from being a chestnut hnd , I believe , never been pro duced in tliis city before. Some of the Ptieecs played after that , while not en tirely now , wcro not at all described by the expressive If slangy word 'chi'stuut. It is true wo played pieces which wo had played before , but that was rendered no- eossnry by the calling awny of Mr Stein- Imuscr and leaving Mr. Irvine In charge of the men. Ho wisely concluded to play only such nieces as ho knew the players wore familiar with. If three or four of the members had not gone with Mr. Steinhausor , to play at Gcrnianhi hall , the Hr.K perhaps would not have noticed that any cliaugu had t.iken place in the composition of the or chestra or in the nature of its pieces. As a matter of fact , the orchestra , after Sfcinhausor and these men had let ! was just as largo as our contract calls for. Thu first year the orchestra nlayed twelve men , Since that time Mr. lloyd has boon paying only for nine. Consequently , when more than thai number appear , they do so without cost to thu theatre. " The Hui : man did not hear the opening overture. Neither did Im know that , after it had been played , Mr. Stcinhuusor and three or four of his men , took llielr departure to Uormaniu hall. Nulthurdid he know that nine men simply comprised the orchestra paid for by Mr. Uoyd. Ho is willing to admit that due of the pieces iilnycil received some applause , but ho is eonstriiined to remark that the demonstration came from the gallery. While the HKK criticised neither tlio playing of the orchestra chostra nor the ability of Harry Irvine as pro turn leader , it gave expression to the lU.Mippointnumt that on .several unim portant occasions pruvioiislythero should be. a full orchestra and playing of ability , while on the grandest theatrical night ( lie thealro has ever seen , the musicians should bo reduced to the simple number called for by the contract. This disap pointment was shared by others , and , in a measure , detraoted from the perfect enjoyment - joymont which a full and ollioiont orches tra , rendering music somewhat beyond the popular order , would havu occasioned. Tliu attraction at Germania hall was per haps siillicient to send thither Mr. Stein- luiuscr and several mon , but thu pnhlio feel that if there is any timu in which the orchestra is disposed to play men without paying them , it ought to bo when the performance on thu boards draws n full bouse from thu most relined and ap preciative people of thu community. "I don't understand Italian'remarked a young lady to her escort in a Twen tieth street car. n day or two ago , ' but I did enjoy Sal vim's presentation of Othello. But I was shocked with what a gentleman , who had a seat behind me , in the theater , said when Othello drew bis dagger across his throat in thu last act. The death was a fearful ono , you know , to contemplate. It almost frightened mo in its simulation of real ism , and while I was recoiling from wit nessing tliu throes of dissolution , thu party behind mo said : "I'd give a dollar if you had killed yourself just three hours ago. " I caught sight of the speaker , and remarked to papa that I was sorry tlio gentleman had not spent his two dollars in a more satisfactory inanuur. " "The lobby of the theatre is a pretty place , no doubt , especially on a theatrical or operatic night whun there is n full house , and an attendance of thu beautiful ladies of tliis city in tlio toilets in which they delight to array themselves. It is certainly a most interesting place to stand in while thu audience is making its exit , and stare at thu ladies as they come lovingly , confidingly , laughingly unit modestly down the stairs , leaning upon the arm of husband , brother or lover. Nevertheless , there sonictbing.about u 'full lobby' which I dislike as greatly as 1 do a similar body in Iho legislature of thu state or nation , " said a well.known thca- tre-goor. "I cannot rid myself of the idea that it is just as reprehensible for peoplu to stand there and ga/.o tit thosu going homo , as mother , some years ago , insisted it was to stare ut the people as they came out of church. It is ill-bred to idly stand in front ot a church door after service , and why should it not bu ill-bred to stand in the lobby of the thea tre ? Among those whom you find there there is not one-half of onu per cent who are there on business that is to wait for a triond or in lui emcrcency to offer one's escort to some deserving lady. The ma jority take un position at this point to gratify a curiosity far from being com mendable. When the spectacle ol beauty and chivalry has passetlawav tliu lobby , composed as it is generally of yomig fello\VH \ , button up their coals , start for Hie neighboring place of refreshments , mayhap to lightly comment upon some person or persons whom thuy have already - ready stared out of countenance. There is probably no means moro likely to demoralize - moralize this institution than for well- bred pcoplo to remain out of it except when the occasion justifies their presence. " Gen.

Tliu general promised to think over thu matter , and if posslblu as feist him to accomplish what he wanted. Ill speaking of the matter afterwards with ti reporter ( Jen.

Thosu encampments are held annually for purposes of military instruction and drill. So far thuy have proved very successful. The Nebraska encampment this year will bo made up of delegations from Fort Omaha , Foil Kob- bison , Forf. Niobrara , ami possibly 1'ort Sidney.

Chung Sing and Manio Sing Pee , groom and brldo respectively , ( and who.-o nationality is patent upon Iho face of their names ) were united m matrimony under the Presbyterian form , and by a minister of that church , the ceremony taking plneo in the leading hotel of the town. Chung Sing is a man of some celebrity In Colorado , and Is i worth , upon common report , a half mil I lion or thereabouts. HuNuti alleged prac titioner of medicine , and is currently known as Doctor. The actual merit of his art is a matter hard to reach , al though several circumstances support nn e\tonslve suspicion that the doctor is a clover sham. When ho first came to Pueblo he set up m business as a washer man in a shop no more pretentious than those of Ids fellow countrymen the coun try over. One day , about two years ago , hu painted out thu statement on his sign that Chung Sinir conducted a neat and cheap luundr.y , and before his name 3 crowded in "Dr. " He Inserted an advnr- tKemcnt in thu local paper announc ing that ho was prepared to alle viate every human suffering and remove all tlio hereditary ills of flesh.

Tliu bride is a eoolio maiden , 18 years of age , and , ns Chinese go , is fairly good looking. She is slender and small of stature , swarthy and moon-eyed , is ex tremely innocent and unconstrained in manner , and progresses afool with a Yuni-Yum waddle. She was purchased by the doctor as so much chattel , from n San Francisco cloister , for sf',000. He had never seen her before iinJ she bad over been sedulously guarded from the sight of any man. All this is right and nronor , beyond doubt , after tlio out landish motliotls of thu inongols. She arrived on Wednesday and was greeted with profound courtesy and evi dent pleasure by bur spouse expectant. She in turn acknowledged the mccling with a diffidence that was born , as after wards developed , of utter ignorance of coming events. The doctor created a profound .sensation by atlempting to oc cupy her chamber at once , but was res trained to avoid scandal to the house. This astonishing caper on thu dignified gentleman's narl is also explained as con forming witli Celestial custom. Tlio morning mul afternoon of Thursday weio spent jn rehearsing lliu marriage ceremony and lliu jibber-jabber efforts of the high contracting parties to master tlio responses succinelly and intelligently was a "circus" to behold. At last all was prepared , and at 8 o'clock the invited guests , comprising some fifty odd ladies and gentlemen 9) ) ' the best fcocioty of Iho city , assembled in the parlors. On tlio hour the orchestra struck un Mendelssohn ami thu bridal party entered , the principals clad in silks of their native style of cut , Iho bride wearing n short parti-colored skirt and blue trousers. The sacred olllccs of the church were safely and smoothly dispatched. When the parson had pro nounced the benediction , Christian cus tom was suspended and an orlhodox Chinese wedding fousl instituted and lot it be said that for splendor of display and liberality of cheer , thu best Omaha family would have boon well credited for thu effort. Following congratulations tlio bride re tired and in another moment reappeared in a change of dress from head to foot. The display of rare fabric and gorgeous ornamentation embodied within her gar ments , took the breath of thuguesls. The bridu smiled placidly as with a rapid hitejiing stop she went , about the apart ment distributing from a pttnior some ox- cpllent sugared fruits. Completing the circuit of thp room , she disappeared again and in a space of time wortnj of n "lightning change artist" lloated buck in slill moro resplendent vestments , and again danced around the parlor Hinjling and doling out delicious confections. Once morn the change of dress and distribution of lolly-pops was enacted and nt Its closu lliu entire party ad journed lo tlio banquet hall. The spread was magnificent in tliu extreme , mid champagne frappu , cordials and line wines flowed prodigally with the sump tuous service of viands. The party was jolly and free and the "happy coiiplo" performed n worthy share of ihu fousllng mid morry-mnking. In the midst of lliu celebration some hoodlums instituted a chavirari in thu streets and the groom like a little man sent Ilium to a neighbor ing saloon to fill up al his expensu. At tliu usual lute hour , the festivities knocked off and tlio guestn adjourned. Tlio bride retired lohur own specially allotted and lavishly filled chain- bur and tliu groom betook himself to his own bed-room in another part of the bouse. Thu next day thu bride romped about the house with the children and thu doctor went down to Ids ollico , aflern courteous and distaiitgri'ct- ing to his wifu.
