A Connplrnoy Deputy United States Mnrshal Allen wns busy yesterday serving Miubpa-nas In highly Bcnsationnl injunction suit com menced in tlio United States court by John 11. Hosier , of 1'eiiiis.ylvnula , against William A. Paxton , Thomas Swobc , Frank Murphy , diaries \V. Hamilton , Potcr Her , J. M. Woohvorlh and Milton Itoffcrs , of the South Omalia Land Syiull- ciito. The suit grows out of the recent syndicate troubles which have already been clearly otitliifed In tlioso columns. IJosler seeks to enforce the transfer of the South Omaha Syndicate land to him , as per alleged agreement for $750,000. , In support of his request he presents some interesting tnrts. The petition gors on to recite the facts about the purchitHo of the land several years ago by the syndicate , the incorpor ation oitlichtocl : company and the issu ance of bonds. It thiiii recites that dls pensions finally arose between the mem bers of the syndicate , as well as anxiety and doubt about the problem of meeting the payment of the lirwt scrie& of bonds which Were fast maturing This dissatisfaction with the management of uflhiragrew more and more pronounced , and llnally it was determined to sell the land. On the ? th of May , 1835 , a meeting of the directors wns had. A resolution elution was passed authorizing Mr. Alex Swan to bell the land to anv responsible party , provided ho could get $750,000 for it , tliesnlo to bo effected by thelirstof August , 188(1. ( On the eighth of July , 1830 , it ifl alleged , Mr. Swan wns present at a meeting of the syndicate directors , and told them that lie would bo readv to ull'ect the sale at an early day None of them dissented. On the 23d of .July following the transfer of the property to the plriintiir , lioslcr , was named upon by Mr. Swan , for the sum of $750,000. July 21 Hosier came to Omaha , expecting to close up the details of the sale , and found Hamilton , Murphy , unit Swobo working tooth and nail to de feat the execution of the contract , and 1'lj'ing their associates with every argu ment to prevent them from agreeing to the fiitle. These three men , Hosier alleges , entered into a grand conspiracy to accomplish their cim of defeating the sale to Hosier. According to his petition a scheme was formed to inducc him ( Hosier ) to pay in $250,001) ) on hie contract , and then to deposit posit this amount in Frank Murphy's bank , the Merchant's National , with all the other available assets of the syndi cate. This money oncesafo in the vaults of the bank , it is charged , and suit would bo commenced to enjoin the transfer of the land to Hosier , which was to be drawn out for years by all the processes known to the acute legal mind. After this wrangling had ono on for a considerable length of time , one of the conspirators was to buy in the svndicato land , accord ing to a plan to be forced upon the other stockholders. These charges of fraud arc bucked up by minute details. The petition "states with reference to the claims of Milton Rogers that he purchased but.50,000 worth of bonds , on which hp paid only $13,500 , For bis share -of- the purchase money oflcrcd by' Hosier , ho would have received $26t800or 115 per cent on his investment , besides 7 per cent interest during the two years. The document concludes by asking for the appointment of a receiver for the moneys of the syndicate , and also that the directors be enforced to niako the transfer to Hosier. Judge Dundy has cited the defendants to appear before him on the first day of court , and will then lake action on Hosier's request. In all probability Mr. Herman Kountzo will bo appointed receiver. Yesterday af ternoon a demand was madoby thn'plaln- tiff's attorneys , Tliuivston and Hall , for the possession of the property , and it was believed that the defendants would turn the same over upon the appointment of a receiver. WANTED IT ENDED. Ilow Nclllo IlaiiBou Sought to Oon- elude n Courtship. She was young , good looking and were a very sweet smile as she approached Judge Stenborg , on the conclusion of polloo court business yesterdayjmorning. "What can I do for you , madame , " asked the judge , stroking his long mus- taoho complacently , as the vision of female beauty ensconced itself in the chair beside him. "I want to talk to you in private , sir , " faltered the young lady , as she gazed timidly around at Police Court Clerk Pontzoland a crowd of spectators who wore oyomg her from the lobby. The judge told her that she could nhmul and toll her story , with every as- fltmuico that no ono would hear it , pro vided she Hpoko low enough. The girl hesitated a moment and then wont on to pour the tale of her troubles into the sympathizing oar of the judge , She wanted , to cut a long btory short , to have n man by the name of Chris Johnson ar rested and compelled to marry her. She paid that nlio had met the young man four months ago , just about as she waste to leave town. Ho proteased to fall deeply in love with her on first sight , and rather than have the courtship Inter rupted , she had given up her plans of leaving Omaha and con sented for four long months to listen to the tale of her suitor's ' lovo. Johnson spent consider able time in her company , t > hc said , ant1 also managed to spaml considerable ol her money. This was getting highly monotonous , and in short , t > ho wanted an order from Judge Stenberg to have the marrlago consummated at once. The young lady , upon questioning , llnally gave her name as Nellie Hanson. The liidgo thought over the matter a moment and decided that ho could do nothing for the girl , and so informed her , greatly to her chagrin and astonishment. She lin nlly wont away , vowmgj to bring Chris o the marrlago point without delay.or fhavo blood. " TOO BW13KT TO LIVE , Voting Jjntiinan , tliu Fruiterer , bUii > s Away IVoiii Honts and fruits.

The Finest City and Aero Property to bo Found on the Market. There is no business in the city ol Omnha to-day tbat Is attracting so much attention as the real estate business. Every move in real cstato is closely watched , and speculators and homo seekers are alike Interested. Time and hue again it has. been pronhcsicd that the boom could not lust , nnd that it was only a question of time when the market would go to pieces. Notwithstanding all hcso dlro predictions the real cstato market was never before as strong and icalthy as to-day. While Omaha is en joying a real cstato boom it is a sure and steady advance in prices. There have been no scalcy speculations , no attempt , o bull the market , but the rapid and substantial growth of the city Uas natur- illy forced up the prices of real estate , jut not above a reasonable liguroforso lourishing a city. There has been no sales made at fabulous prices , but , on the contrary , most of the property sold has jcpn considered cheap at the purchase i > riec. Because of this healthy state of trade .n real estate everybody is anxious to in vest. The rich man and the poor man juy city property , some for speculation , jut moro for the purpose of obtaininjr a ionic. In this way the city property is being rapidly picked up and prices are daily advancing. There are , however , two very desirable additions in which city lots can still bo had at most reason able figures and on most reasonable erms. Wo refer to "Mayno Place" aud 'Orchard Hill. " both of which are for sale by C. E. Mayno , southwest coiner of fifteenth and Farnam streets. No place within the city can be found such choice building Jots as in these two additions. Seekers of homes fully real- zo this fact and are daily making pur chases in these additions. "Maync 'laco" has only been on the market ten lays and many lots have been sold dnr- ngthattime. "Orchard Hill , " has only ) i'cn on the market a short time and on evcrv hand are to bo seen beautiful and substantial residences in course of con struction. You may boa little skeptical u regard to these things , but call at Mr. Mayne's ollico and you will iind gentle- nanly salesmen readv to drive you out to see the property and no harm will be lone whether you purchase or not. At my rate it will be a good thing for you to seethe property and may bo tlio means os convincing voutiial what has been said n regarn to tticso additions has not boon n the least exaggerated. Before closing wo desire to call your ittcntion to "Newport. " This is acre iroporty and is located just west of Ft. ) maha , and [ is the most beautiful strip of land to bo found in Douglas cpunty. This is a broad assertion , but a drive to the propertv will convince you that it is a mo ono.

Save the Children. Detrimental food which , by reason of .heir superior strength/ / may not serious- y afiect the health of adults , as is well aiown , frequently acts iipon the moro lelicato organs of the child to nroduco lisordcrs of the most serious character. The amount of laudanum vr other pol on that would bo harmless to an adult will cause the death of an infant. This great lifibreuco between the vitality of ndults and children is too generally overlooked n the prcapralion of food. Because no iiirm immediately pcreoptablo comes to the adult by llio use of an article of food , 10 thought is given the ofl'ect it may have ipon the moro delicate organs of inferior ago. Children diet largely upon cake and > rcad , and these arliclcs , if light , sweet and composed of materials that are free rom injurious substances , are easily di gested , nutritious and wholesome. There s a danger to our children , however , urklug in their bread and , cake which is ,00 often lost sight of. These articles are low leavened largely by baking powders aliii when pure and wholesome baking ) owdcrs are used they make not only the nest palatable food , but one much more vholesome and nutiitivo than if leav ened witii ycnst or cream of tartar and soda. The trouble arises from the fact as shown by recent scientific tests by the jovcrnmont chemists and by official joards of health that all these baking lowdors , with the single exception of the loyal , contain cither lime , alum , phos- ) hates or acids of an injurious character. Therefore when bread or cake is made vith the use of these cheap baking pow- lers t ieso ingredients ( winch are present hrough the oflbrts of the manufacturers o produce a cheaper article ) pass into he lood and are taken into the delicate organs of childhood , where they are the ourco of very much of the disease with vhich our children are alllictcd. Persons who have not strong constitu- ions , growing girls , young children and uirsing mothers , are particularly liable o the evil effects produced by the intro- luclion of the adulterants named as found n the cheap baking powders. Heartburn ind tiio prevalent forms of indigestion ire often solely traceable to the action of .him on the delicate coats of the stomach , 'rofessor Willard Parker , United States Surgeon-General Hammond , Professor Alonzo Clark , most eminent physicians of Now York , with sco % cs of others , have vritlen and spoken most earnestly of the jvils arising from partaking of such food. L'horo should be as much care in the ihoico of a baking powder as in obtain- ng pure milk or in having a prcscrip- ion compounded from pure drugs and lot from poisons. The matter is one of the greatest im- ) ortance , particularly to the the rising generation , and while our conservative aw makers are making up their minds as to the proper legislation to stop the sale of the poisonous compoundsmothers vill do well to study'it 'carefully. ' The lousekeoncr will experience no incon- fenionce in discarding/ / mo of the ululteratctl baking powder , if she has ) een using it , as the Kbyal Baking Pow- ler upon the purity and wholesomcncss of which nil the government chemists agree , is equally aeee&ible ; but she will iced to exercise a close watch upon her Kiokages from the grocer in order to pro- , 'ent the inferior brands from creeping nto her kitchen unawares.

JLOOAfc JUACONIOS. - Brief Interviews Gathered 'on the Streets. A. TMaryott : "I thing Omaha ought to take some steps to abolish , the same as other cities , what has now become a smoke nuisance. There arc days during the year when certain parts of tbo centre of the city look like Pittsburg. The coal dust falls from thcso clouds thick enough to destroy any place intended to be kept clean , and , indeed , making necessary a change of linen for the gentleman who is engaged in genteel business. These clouds of smoke are frequently so dense that the windows of offices , and oven the hotels , have to bo closed during the day and night , because there are several smoke-stacks bolchinir forth dense masses after night sets in. Now , in other cities , this smoke business is declared a nuisance , and the owners of buildings in which engines are employed are com pelled to use smoke consumers. This ought to be done in Omaha , because she is suffering relatively as much as Chicago over did from this abomination.
