The publication in Friday's lii ) : : of the editorial corn-spondcnco from Washing ton in which the tmtronngo methods o : Dr. Miller wcro thoroughly exposed liiu created no little excitement in politico. clrclos. "I saw nil those papers of whlol Mr Koscwntor writes , wfum I was hi Washington , " said Air. Cliag. II. Brown yesterday , "ami Dr. Miller can sweal out his uuvniling wrath.

That's all tlio faction there is , but it hangs to the skirls of the party llko a yelping cur and does create si brief delay pending the hour when tin dignity of the democracy fchtill assert itself - self and administer an effectual quietus. Yes , Lr. ) Miller is pretty mud , and his language is certainly violent and rut- lianly. What tdls him ? When you eau analyse the emotions of an insane man you will then bu ablu lo uncover the doc tor's secret maladay. " Mr. A. Swarl/.lauder , who is identified among the working democrats who tire sore to tlic eye of tlio great medical edi tor , was called upon. ' 'Don't ask mo to talk about Doc. Miller , " said lie ; "tlic dear Doc. has taken a position so high above us common folks who got out on election day and work , that there is no use of our .straining at him. Ever since a democratic administration came in the doctor has boon walking on stilts and is not to bo accommodated at the theatre with loss than tlio whole proscenium. I often wonder whether lie gains any at tention on his periodical Ilights to Wash ington. He certainly don't get much if tlio federal fruits go to show anything. I am glad ( hat the proofs of his meddle some interference are brought out to re fute his denials. 1 tell you candidly , that I believe tiip democrats of Nebraska who do not subsist on politics do'not care for any changes in tlio federal ollices of the state. Lambortson fills the ollicc of dis trict attorney as capably as ever Prilchot could ; Post is as competent a collector of internal revenue as Crawford could nos- sibly bo , and Kobitisoii scorns as well qualified for his position as though the doctor had not Hung his billingsgate against him. " Jir. I ) . II. Goodrich , of the waterworks company , who is known among tlio loyal but undemonstrative democrat * , was ap proached. Ho expressed his severe dis pleasure that ( he leaders should compro mise tlio party by their factional quarrels and denied that ho was identified witli either sido. Ho deprecated Dr. Miller's attempt to drive out the state surveyor , because the doctor was actuated lo his efforts by partisan malice alone. He was amused that the patronage corre spondence of the doctor gave the lie to Ids denial of interference in the matter of federal appointments. Mr. James Croigliton was much more anxious to talk about street paving than to deal in politics , but ho laughed when the BEE'S editorial correspondence was mentioned , "You can put mo down as a slaughter-packing house democrat both , you see. I am for the side that is in the right every time and am bound to neither. I have to laugh at the way the good doc tor fell down in trying to got out of his scrape , and the expose of his letters in the lin ! must nettle him , 1 confess 1 don't quite like his attitude. Ho htttl bolter been straight out , and now that lie is tripped up and light is thrown on the question ha could squeal with a litllo let : . ' violence " A number of other gentlemen were seen , but at this quiet season of tlio yoai nearly all begged oil' from print , and with the few above in hand , deference was shown their requests. The oxprcS' fiions all are that Dr. Miller has botrayci himself to ridicule , if nothing worse , ii tlio eyes of both his own and other polit leal parties. _ WANTED TO HAVE JIER.

" These words were addressed lo hoi father by a young lady yesterday after noon in one of the parlors of a wol known sporting establishment on lowoi Douglas street. Tlio speaker was Misi Amio Hunt/ , the listener her father , t resident of Lincoln. XeMorday Mr. Kent/ came into polici headquarters , seemingly in deep distress and asknl thai an ollicer be detailed t < his assistance for a few moments.

After Km-iiisliliin n Homo n'ouii | Alan I.Ones Ills Courage. Passengers on the overland train whiel came into Umaha about Ihreo months agi might have noticed a lady travolin ; alone. Young and possessing unusuti attractions both in face and form , sh could not tail ot being admired by al who came in contact with her. Arriv hig at tlic Union depot she loft the trail ind went to the homo of it friend iivinj not far away. Nothing remarkable ii \lds , you Will say. True enough , bu Micro is a sequel to follow , So' o time prior to the opcuiug of tld in the westbound story a young man employed bound freight department at the transfer , under Burns , rented a cottage on Tenth street and spared neither money nor pains in furnishing it up sumptuously and with nil the conveniences of a well organized homo. The young man's friends sur mised , and in fact ho made no secret of it , that ho was soon to become an apostate tate from the ancient order of bachelors. On the day following the opening of this siory the young man In question received a dainty perfumed nolo from his liaucce , inform ing him that Mio had arrived in Omaha , sooner than expected , with the idea of giving him a pleasant little surprise , and that she was stopping at n friend's limlso whore slio would bo pleased to have him call. As thu reader will surmise , the young lady was the same who came in on the train the night before. The young man called In the evening , but instead ot greeting his betrothed in the yum-ynm- sugar crcam-ain't-wo-happy way , ho sal coldly in one corner , looking as glum and sour as a disappointed otliep s-eekor. O , do tell mo , Dick , are you MckJ iNo. Any of your friends dead ? No. Has your house with all that nice furniture you wrote about burned up ? No. O , Dick , you must toll mo whattroiibles you so anil what makes yon act so .strange. The young man arose , walked to the front door and placing Ins hand on the knob , said ; "Since our engagement I have been thinking the matter over and have made up my mind that you and 1 can never be man and wife. " The door opened and closed , and he was gone. Brushing away n few learn , the young girl , who hail been bo cruelly jilted , packed away tlio wedding garments that nail been fashioned with exquisite taslo when her hopes were high and Ihu fnluro . seemed bright , and resolved to live and forget. The young man who ligiires in this romance , in a manner tey no means creditable to himself , has quite a history of his own. About three years ago he went back te Canada , near Ins old homo , wilh Hie avowed purpose of murryiuc : a young lady lo whom ho had been bo- trolhed for some time , but returned with out her. He has not given any reasons for jilting his last conquest , but one reason may bo th.it the young lady was educated a Catholic , though not a very strung adhcrant lo "mother church , " while no is a protoslunt , or as his friends claim a natural born crank. Instead of a wife he has a chum , a fellow clerk at the transfer , with whom ho shares his home on Tenth street. It is said that ho occasionally calls on the young lady , and might marry her oven yet if ho could get his courage up to the right point. _ AMUSEMENTS. The Minstrel Entertainment Close of tlio Vincents' Engagement. McNish , Johnson & Slavin's minstrels gave two performances Saturday at Iho Boyd lo crowded houses. As Ihis was their second visit to Omaha this season their reception proved the appreciation in which their entertainment is held by Iho people. From Iho "first part" until the tall of the curtain on the closing farce the audience was kept continually laughing and the applause was frequent amtuproarous. Omalia certainly treated the company well , and the company re turned the compliment. AT TIIK i'ioru's. : : The Vincents conclude their engage ment at the People's this evening , much to the regret of the many admirer ? which they have made during llieir two weeks' stand in this city. The company is a most excellent ono , and it has been dem onstrated beyond cavil that good actors at tlio People's will receive tins support of the public. The Vincents should re ceive an ovation on their last appearance to-night. _ Our Boyn in JUIuc. Last night the W. C. T. U. Bucking ham hall was filled with a most attentive audience. The song service was a special feature. Messrs. Gratton and Hubeson led with their usual fine ability. Both the gentlemen sang solos which were listened to eagerly. Dr. Womersley made an carncbt prayer , and by request Miss Blanch Sylvester sang a solo , "King Bibblcr's Army , " the chorus being rendered more boauliful by the voices of Mr. Ilubc&on and Miss Millie Sylvester. Mr. Holt struck straight from the shoulder and laid the blame of the liquor trallio upon the people. If the voters didn't want saloons , there would bo neither saloons nor drunkenness. He spoke earnestly to "the boys" to come to the W. C. T. U. Buckingham homo in hours of temptation in overcoming this appetite. Hero you will ever find a wel come and tender sympathy and strength. The entire lecture was good , and again tlio line of boys took up the line of march towards the pledge desk and donned the blue ribbon. Yesterday morning the Reform club assembled at the Buckingham and nuite a number attended in a body the Bap tist church. At 4 o'clock the meet ing was enthusiastic and intoroMing. To-night Mr. Holt will deliver his famous lecture , "Chicago by Gaslight , " or "Be hind the Screens. " On'aceount of the heavy expense of Mr. Holt's meetings an admittance fee of 25 cents will bo charged. The christain people arc especially urged to come and help tlio cause. At the meeting on Saturday ovoniii" 11 vo nationalities wore represented and took part in the exercises. At an early hour the club adjourned to the dinning hall , whore a bountiful supper had been spread for them by the ladies of tno W , C. T. U. Aflcr the inner man had boon satisfied , n social lime was passed , anil tlio members and their wives went home declaring that they had passed u very pleasant evening. Tlio MiiHlcul Union Concert , The fourth concert of the Sunday scries of tlio Musical Union orchestra drew n good hi/cd andlonco to the opera house last evening. These concerts arc gradually becoming moro and more popular , and certainly deserve to secure enough patronage to warrant their bcin < j inndo a permanency. The programme on the whole was vor > good. Two or thrco of the pieces wore rather old , to bo sure. But they were se well rendered that the dolicaoy of oxceu < tion balanced any objections of nntiquit.v that might be urged against thorn , The bclcettion from the Black Hussars in the lirst part , the overture , Mill on the Rock , by Hnissiger in Iho second , and Figaro't Wedding in the third wcro perhaps the features of the concert , eliciting woli deserved applause. It was noticeable that the clement ol light inuslo in thu selections moro largely predominated over the classical than or any previous evening. This eircum stance , so far from lessening the pleasure of the average listener , rather addci to it. Next Sunday evening , on the occasion of Prof. Stoinhauser's benelit , an especial ly line progr.unmo is promised. An Additional Attraction.

BtrnsolMirgcr'H Domestic Successor Goes to tlio Iowa 1'cit. The following is from the DCS MoinCs Leader of February 11 : "Yesterday afteinoon , at WIntersct , Jtulfe'e Mcllenry overnileil the motion for n new trial In the cnso of the state vs. B. F.

Thus 1ms Uils lecherous fellow , whoso suc cessful masquerading as a .smooth , guileless qcntlcmnn made him famous as a miner of Innocent women through , this and other states , at last reeeheil attention f rum tlio law.

The ease that tripped him , though , was tlmt pushed by the Itither of Olive Loltii * . a handsome \\iuinii of petite term ami highly educated lady of Wlutcrset. The old gentleman ! a man of means , nud means get away with meanness any dev In the week , esi-eclally \ \ hen backed by mtituio spunk and what's moic an outraged family mime. " And thereby Imnirs a talc. The above mentioned fellow , Prof. B. F. Nadal , is well known in Omaha. Ho occupied himself us a humorous lecturer through this state and Iowa , and made his head quarters hi this city. While hero ho found lodgings in the apartments of Mrs. Charles F. Strassburger , on tlio bceond lloor of the Dodge street Turkibh bath house. It was he , beyond till preauven- lure , who instigated the divorce proceed ings of Mrs. S. against her truant hus band. Certain it is that ho has taken the place vacated by the old professor and is installed in thu domestic establishment which was formerly Strassburgor's. Mrs. S , , as has previously been slated , is tin invalid in wretched physical condition and beyond the fur ther enjoyments of this life's pleasures. She has an attachment of some peculiar sort for 'lie man , but ho in turn only too evidently loves but her money. She has supplied him with funds during the whole of the litigation in Iowa , which termi nated in his imprisonment , but , to tlio woman's litlle credit , it should bo said that ho represented lo her Unit ho was lighting a libel suit ag.unsl the Des Molncs Register and she .did know Iho real charaeler of the prosecution. The man was last in town this day n week agot out on bail pending Ihc hearing of a motion for a new trial. Whether the authorities have him now or whether ho has skipped Out is not known. INDICTED For Murder in the First , DcRrcc Quiet Grand Jury Work. At a few moments after 12 o'clock Sat urday the grand jury filed out of their rooms on the second lloor of Ihu county building , walked solemnly inlo the ollico of Clerk Ijams , and deposited a small bundle of papers. The usual injunc tions of secrecy wore passed , and Ihc members of Iho body dispersed for their homes. An adjournment was taken until Wednesday to cnablo District Attorney Estcllo to bring before the body the cases of the burglars , Tracy , Boylan and Kornan. The tnrcc indictments Ided with the clerk arc not yet ready for publication , at least so say Cleric Ijams and District Attorney Estcllo. The latlcr , when lirst approached about the matter by a re porter , denied that any indictments wcro returned by Hie grand jury , but after wards " 'fes.sed up" and admitted that ho had perverted the truth. "Tho fact is , " lie said , "tho grand jury lias brought in some indictments , out as yet the accused have not been arrested , and nothing can bo given lo the papers about the cases until they are , captured. " The indictment against Lauer for some reason is also being withheld. The BBE has taken some pains to invcstigalo the matter , and is in a position to stale au- thoritalively that a uill of indictment has been drawn up , charging John W. Lauor with murder in the lir.st degree. The re view of the case in tlio grand jury room has been very exhaustive , and it is said that now and important points of evi dence have been broiight out , which do not tend to strengthen Lauer's side of the case. The bribery charges against Marshal Ctimmings have been sifted by the grand jury and totind utterly groundless. As stated in the BII : : Thursday no indict ment against tlic marshal has been or will bu returned. A Pleasant Affair. The Valentino sociable given Saturday evening , by the ladies of Seward street M. E. church , at the residence of Mrs. J. E. Newman , 1208 Campbell slrcel , was a most enjoyable afl'air. About 150 friends were present lo contribute- the pleas ure of the evening , and by the manner in which missives of cupid were kept Hying around it was easy to see that all enjoyed themselves. Miss Adio Robinson and Jewel McCuno wtis attired in fancy dross to represent Unelo Sam's mail car riers , and they were busy most of the timo. Among those present wcro noticed Rev. C. W. Savidgo , Deputy County Clerk Alum-Moody and wife. C. R. Davidson and wife of the B. & M. headquarters , and others. Pushing tlio mil. President Max Meyer , of the board of trade , Saturday received the following letter from Congressman A. J. Weaver !

The bill referred lo Is that to make Omaha a port of immediate transportation allusion to which has already been made in these columns. It has already passed the senate , and will probably bo put through the house without any troubla. President Meyer , at any rate , appears to bo uoiilideut that the bill will pass and its provisions put into ollect at an early day Foil in ConvulHloiis. A young Swede girl fell in convulsion ! about 0 o'clock last evening at St. Mary's avciiuo and Eighteenth street , and was carried into Parr's drug fctoro. Dr. Lei- senriug was summoned and endeavored lo quiet her by giving her chloroform , but the powerful ttrug failed to produce the desired eflect. The girl's convulsions wcro terrific , it requiring tlio utmost power of thrco men lo eoulrol her. A hack was ilnally summoned and she was convoyed to her homo on South Twenty- second itrcet , where she gradually re covered. Her brother ami bister , who weru with her when she fell , said she was subject lethe attacks quite frequently. An tiulcllnlto Telegram.

The exposition building on Capitol avenito , Kotirtecnth and Fifteenth streets , of which a cut is herewith prcsonlcd , is ono of Iho bo t of the recent evidences which Omalia hns given of her advance ment toward metropolitan energy and enterprise. It originated with a few citi/.ons , one of whom , I. W. Miner , early last spring secured the tile from A. J. Poppleton. Later on Max Mew and 1'red Gray were onlistc 1 in the enter- prieo. Subsequently the following leading business muii bpotiiuo intorc ted and formed the charter members of the Omaha Exposition Building a.MX'iatiou ! H.F. Smith of Boston , Win. Wallace , J. N.

Work upon the building was com menced in July , and continued , without intermission till the present time , with so much skill , energy and success tlmt , on next Thursday , when the structure shall bo opened to the public , the building will be shown to bo in every way worthy of the ontonjriso and the object which has called it into existence. The design was drawn and the plans made by Archi tect Mendelssohn. The bounty , the di mensions ami the adaptability of the structure .speak in eloquent praise of the wofk of this gentleman. The building has a frontage on Four teenth and Fifteenth streets of 120 , and Capitol avenue of 200 feet. It is built of brick , of which it contains 1,000,000 , and of these 275,000 arc under ground sup porting the piers upon winch the roof trusses rest. It is the largest building of its kind in the west. As originally contemplated it waste to have cost s2o,000. IJut it has been iIj PROgPfiGTS. Kansas City VVitlulralvs from the National Ijeajjue The North western lieajjuo. Mr. C. J Canan received Saturday from Ted Sullivan the following telegram which appears to materially change the baseball situation : KUI : , Wis. , Feb. 12. Milwaukee is to take Kansas City's place. Xoith- westcru league Is Rolng to go on. T. P. SULLIVAN. That is to say Kansas City is going to withdraw from the National league in which she was recently allowed represen tation , and Milwaukee is to bo the lucky town. And the Northwestern league scheme , which has been hold in abeyance for the past month , will bo re vived and pushed. The exact process by which this with drawal of Kansas City from the National * league was accomplished 'is not as yet apparent. It is regarded as probable , however , that the city on the Kaw sold out her franchise in the league for a good round sum , probably $ .1,000 or $0,000 , just as liuflalu did to De troit The terms by which Kansas Cily was to bo allowed representation in the National league were that $5,000 guaran tee money that the club would bo main tained to the end of the season should bo deposited with the secretary , and that a stock company with $25,000 paid up cap ital should bo formed. Tins latter stop has only been partially-taken , and the club which was intended for the National league will doubtless bo put in the Hold for the Northwestern league , which is to be organized. Mr. Kay , of the Athletic park , stated , when shown the telegram referred to above , that in his opinion Kansas City had sold out her franchise in the National league to the Mihyaulnjc people , who wore doubtless willing to pay well for admission. "Now , that the Kansas City people have determined to put a club in the Northwestern league , " ho remarked , "wo can secure an organisation of at least six clubs , which will bo strong anil able to make money. The cities which will probably bo represented will bo St. Joseph , Kansas City , Omaha , Dulutli , Minneapolis and St. Paul , all of them good , lively towns , and able to support iwsu ball. The only small town is St Joseph , although tnoy support ba&o ball there well. All of the cities arc com paratively close together and in no case will a club have a long distance to jump. On the other hand , the very objection to the formation of the Western league , with Denver , Pueblo , Lincoln , Omaha. Topeka , Leaven worth and St. Joe , would bo that the long distances to bo travomcd would destroy all the profits. In addition , most of the towns are too small to support a ilr t class club. " In Irelaiul's.Cause. There was a good ) attendance at the meeting of the Irish National League at Cunningham's hall yesterday afternoon. President McShano presided , and stirring addresses wore mailcvbyJohii p. Sntton , of Lincoln , the recently elected secretary of the National League , nml C. J. Smith , of this city. The remarks of both the gentlemen wore basedori the condition oi afl'airs in Ireland , and they strongly ex horted all Irishmen to unite in the sup port of Parnell and for the good of then native land. The celebration of St. Patrick's day Marcli 17 was discussed , and it was re solved to invite Patrick Kgan , ex-presi dent of the league , to act as president of the day. The joint committee of the league and the A. O. II. appointed at tin last meeting to have charge of the celebration , will hold a meeting next Sunday and perfect all arrangements for the affair , It will undoubtedly bo a grand success , and assurances haVe been re ceived that Mr. Kgan will accept the in vitation to bo the presiding olliccr.

The area of the lloor is 17,000 square feet , the dimensions of tlio same being 80.\220 feet. This will enable moro than 1,000 people to dance at one time. The lloor joists are laid in pounded brick and mortar. Upon these are laid while pine boards , and over this is laid the upper surface consistlmr of strips of hard maplu 2J inches Iniilth. .
