2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY. APElL 26 1837 , HIE DEMOCRATIC SKIRMISH , It Ecsults in a Solidly Unanimous Boyd Delegation. TO BE RENOMINATED TO-DAY. Duo oftlic .Most lluinnrknMo Votrs on Itccortl in the Third Wnrtl A Waterloo Tor the Hfrulglit 'llcJcct in tlic Fourth. Hie dumocralic primaries were not so harmonious as was expected before tlioy opened , but there still was harmony enough to elect as delegates to the con vention to-dny gentlemen who will unanimously vote for the nomination of Is nics ( ! . Hovil for mayor. It is gener ally conceded thnt Mayor Uoyd will bo named as the democratic candidate be fore the people again. Ho telegraphed from Chicago yesterday that lie had never authorized any one to state that lie would not be a candidate for ronomina- tion. To say that the untcrrilicd hailed this telegram with feelings of joy is to draw it milu. They made thins hum at the primaries in favor of lioyd men. Tliero wore contest' ' in the Third , Fourth and Fifth wards. In the Third ward the IJoytl question or the mayor- ally question in any shapu in fact cut a email lignro. The contest ciphered itself down to the question of whether 1'at Ford should bo allowed to write "Polit ical Dictator of the Third" after his inline. It may bo remarked , now that after the smoke of battle has cleared away , Mr. Ford continues in business at the old stand. The miracle of feeding the 5,000 with a market basket full of loaves and li.sh.cs was relegated to a rear seat. Last fall between UCO and 700 votes were polled in the Third ward both republican and democratic. Yustuiday U03 democratic votes were cast In the same ward. It is too bad some one didn't bring in seven nioru and make it an even 1,000. Ihe following was the result of the count last evening : i'at Ford , 017 : Julius Meyer , 547 ; E. G. Floyd , 001 ; U. Nober , COO ; A. Uthof , 508 ; 11. Parrish. 051 ; G. Carv. Ml. Andy Murphy , iiSi , Mike Leary , 390 ; Joseph Tuahon , ! WO ; John Ueevos , 270 ; George Grillin. ! J70 ; Kil Uothery , 483 ; William Towers , 387. The successful ticket is for Adam Schneider for councilman and James G. lioyd for mayor. In the Fourth ward the straight ticket met something of a Waterloo. The fol lowing were the delegates elected : Truman Huek , Charles 11. Brourd , J. J. O'Connor , Louis lleimrod , C. S. Montgomery , E. S. Coggeshall , A. L. Totter. There are four Hoyd men in this dele gation , but the oilier Ihruo will probably vote for his nomination unless there should bo some decided opposition to him to-day. The following dologatcs were elected from the other wards : First ward T. J. Lowry , M. Connoyer , John Powers , Thomas Casey , Leon Kopald , Walter lirundes and Albert Sclitilt. Fifth ward John M. llice , James Dotiglaw. Henry Osthofl'.Hernard McGinn , M. Mullin , John McGorry and Thornus 11. Uailcy , Sixth ward I. Peterson , John J. Mac- kcdon. Charles Stor/ , William Nightin gale , liun Heucke , Hugh Flaunagan and Tat Tigho. Second ward Euclid Martin , John F. Murphy , John Audrit. Thomas Collopy. ( Jcorgd V. 1 linesKd , 15reinuui and Charles Kamnicrcr. Eighth ward Nels Williams , John Morris , 11. Hanson , Jim McCarty , Wm. Anderson , Low Shields ami John Helick. There was no contest in the Seventh ward. James Mcgath lead the procession - ion for ward councilman. The delegates to the convention are Christopher Dan iels , C. W. Brooks , Louis Say , Samuel Coltncr , J. J. Mahoney , Cyrus Morton , and Frank Uobbins. The Ninth ward primary was hold at the corner of Eureka and Mernor-avcs. Only " 20 ballots were cast. There was b'ut ono ticket in the Held , but two of the names upon it were scratched , H. M. Taylor , and Eugene L. Pcekham. The following delegates were elected : William Dwycr , William A. Gardner , F. 1) . Cooper , F. W. Simpson , Edward Gursko , P. A. Gavin and and C. D. Sut- phon. The choice of ward councilman was Samuel S. Van ISouren. There was no preference for councilman-at-largc upon the ticket and the delegates teem divided between E. Snessraan and C. D , Sutphon for th.t position. In the Eighth ward Paul Plats was renominated for ward councilmen and William Anderson for counnilman-at < large. In the Sixth ward M. Murphy was nominated for councilman-at-largo. The convention will bo hold this after' noon at 2 o'clock , in the city hall The defeat of Frank Morrisoy in the Fourth ward yesterday , when taken in connection with that ot O. H. Hothaokci on Friday last , has some little significance in the wayof indicating just how niucl young blood in politics does not run sc thick as had been expected. AMUSEMENTS. UOOT1I IN " Booth as Uioholiou last night gavi such an expression of the subtleties o the charachtcr as nothing short of hi Kiiblimo intellectuality could achieve The individual attributes of the wily cat dinal wore so strongly illustrated tha ouo lost sight of the mimic surrounding and funded himself watching a re a character. The same gonuiucnes characterizes every detail of Booths im personation. The painful cough , am feebleness of extreme ago eonlrastim with the errft and undomitablo sipiri that constitutes so much of the dramat ! clement in Hicholieu attained the heigh of art with Booth's handling The far rcaohiug current of hi magnetism communicated itself to every one in the house and left a strong cou vielion of the actor's genius on the leas impressionable in the audience. Novo m local history bus an Omaha audiene so far forgotten itself as to warm into on thnsiasm over a truly artistic performance anco until Booth brouirht out their laten apprecuittvoness with Ids inagio. At th end of each act the great actor was con : polled to bow his acknowledgements t the transplanted audience. The entire house was filled with a : classes of people. Many of them wcr not regular frequenters of the thoatoi but people to whom the event of la- night was an epoch. The support wi : tolerably good. To-night , Hamlet. Silt. BOOTH'S AIIIHVAT. IN OSIAAA. The Union Pauifie morning passcngn rain from Denver oamo in yostonUv morning in two sections , nine eai being in each section. In tli lirst of the divisions were Edwi Booth's "David iiarriok " and car , , tu other containing about twenty-live men bers of his company , The former w : switched to DUO of the middle tracks short distance below the depot , and thnr remained until shortly aftur dinnerwho Mr. Hooih left it and drove lo the Mi lard , where , with the following momboi of tlio company , ho will sojourn durln his tMigageinent : H. Brown and wif George J. Khodius , John T , Sullivan , 1 I. Henderson , Francis K. Hart , J. I Macomgle , Mrs. Augusta Foster , Mrs. ! A. Baker , Miss Kinmn Vadcrs. Miss Kill tlaloncy and Miss Ida Hook. Mr , Booth'd company comprises tnir people. They liave all bccu selected with exceeding care- and are reported to bu capable of good work. ' Thu combination played in Denver live nights of last week and one night in Cheyenne , the receipts being $18,000 , , $3,000 of which was secured at Chcy- ennu. A 15m : reporter in a short conversation witli Air. Aithiir U. Chao , the agent , n pleasant and kindly gentleman. In Mr. liooth'scar , was informed that Mr. Uooth was in excellent spirits , having gained ten pounds in llesh since the commencement of his trip about thirty weeks ago. This is his lirst visit to Omaha , as indeed it lias been to the west. Last week while In Denver ho paid n visit to all the mountain resorts , and was particularly impressed with the Garden of the ( lodrf. Ho makes It a point to take a rule to all places of interest , the cities in which ho plays , and it will not , therefore , bo strange if the renowned actor bo been driving along our streets every day during his engagement. Mr. Hootli is now , more than ever , a hard niokcr. Ho drops n pipe only to take up a cigar , anil prolongs this indulgence until fur into the night. The repertoire of llio company has been greatly decreased since the opening of the foa- son , and especially since the time the inter-state law wont into effect , as a great amount of the heavy armor re quired for Hichard 111. and other pieces Was sent back to New York to save ex penses. The season will close May 1-1 , at Fall Hiver Mr. Uooth appears at Uoyd's to-night in Richelieu. THE ELROTIUO INCANDESCENT Edlsnn'H SyHtcin or Illuminating I'nt In 1'rnctlco at the Paxton. Tlio engines stalled , the dynamos whirred , uiul 300 thirty-two candle-power lamps blazed at the Paxton , last night. The light was certainly incomparable. Tlio spacious oflico aud rotunda of the hotel was as if the noonday sun had been given access. Yet so skilfully was tlio electrical character of the lights con cealed by shades that nearly every per son remarked : "Wnat makes the hotel so bright ! " Tlio Edison system is ahead of the Brush-Swan system for steatliness. An hour's inspec tion of the new lights in the Paxton last night failed to present n single defection in tlio current. The Paxton plant has been put in , as previously published , by the Edison com pany's representatives in the west. Mr. lioorgo W. Coster , thogoncral agent , and Mr. Phillip Suubol , the superintendent. They have made a most excellent b'jgin- ing , for no single building in the country is so well illuminated as the Paxton holel with its 000 electrjc lamps. To run this largo number of light-givers two engines of feixty-horse power each are neces sitated , and two dynamos of 250 light power each. Mr. Costers , who represents ? 50,000 of Now York City capital personally , stated to a reporter last evening that the Edison company would put iu a central station in Omaha inside of a year. It will re quire $225,000 to establish the plant. If local ( Omaha ) gentlemen favor the pro ject to the extent of subscribing , the Edison company will bo glad. If they don't , the business will still continue. I'OOU LIl/TTE FELLOW. His Ijant Illcto in an Elevator Johnny Trnvars * Fate. Johnny Travors , a boy of not moro than three months' acquaintance with the ways of metropolitan life , was enjoy ing himself hugely yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock when the ele vator in the Withnoll block was going up and down. There was a window iu the building which hap pened to como in conjunction with n window or some opening in the door. Johnny didn't see it. Ho felt it , though , when he was violently doubled up , his back broken and his lungs crushed. Ho died at 11:30 : last night. His mother is a nurse iu a family near llanscom park. Officers Twenty-Two Years ABO. Lou May , ot Fremont , chairman of the Nebraska State Fish commission , was in town yesterday closing up some of thou u flairs of the commission of last year with Mr. U. E. B. Kennedy , who is also a member of the commission. Ono of Iho old friends whom he met was Charles Brown , who is now being urged by some of the democrats as a can didate for mayor. Lew asked him if ho were going to permit his name to bo used for the ollico in question. Mr. Brown remarked that he could not think of such a thing , now that Mr. Way was a resident of Tiemont. If the latter were a resident of Omaha , the case might bo dilVorenl , because ho could then become the city elork. By way of explanation it may bo said that twenty-two years ago , in 1807 , Mr. Brown was Mayor of Omaha , and Mr. May was city clerk. Aud they are both young men and with each , the world has been particularly kind and easy. South Omaha No ten. Men are at work in South Omaha clear ing the ground and getting things in shape for the grading down of the hill immediately west of the exchange build' ing. The dirt will bo used in tilling iii the pond and the low grountl oust of the yards. It will bo a big undertaking Iml it is necessary to grade down the hill in order to make room for the extension o ! the yards , The game of ball between the stocfc yard men and the employers of Fowler's packing house resulted in a score of li tc 7 in favor of the latter.

Ilnrrlson , Ambler K Wool Icy Make a Great Success of Their Sale The Special Discount Good Tor To-tlay Only. Nearly $60,000 worth of single lots were sold in Ambler Place yesterday by Harri son , Ambler & Woolley , who have so tlior- ouclily advertised the sale during the past few days. The sale far exceeded their most sanguine hopes , and if the sale is half as good to-dny they ought to bo satis- lied. The drawing feature in yesterday' * sale was the fact that an oven § 100 was taken oil' the price of all lots sold and the same discount will hold good to-day only. There are only 150 lots to bo sold the remainder to bo reserved , and as about half of them were sold yesterday it is safe to say that not a lot will bo loft aflcr the sale is over. Nearly all the lots bought so far are for residence purposes and not for speculation , and a number of now houses will probably bo built this season. All credit is duo Harrison , Ambler & Woolley , who managed the processions in a very neat manner. Two trips wore made , ono in the forenoon and ono in tlio afternoon , both cases a long line of car riages was headed by a band of music. The advantages of a residence in Am bler Place are becoming better known every day , and the siilo of so many lots to-day will add greatly to their present value. The Omaha Southwest ern street railway will give residents in this part of tlio city a rapid transit to and from the business center , and will double the price of lots in this vicinity before the road is in operation two monthsi The route of Ihe street railway on Park street west from llanscom park west to section 80 , in which West Side , Eekorman place and other additions are located lias been definitely settled upon and the ties and rails are being distributed along the street. It is tlio intention of the com pany to have this part of the road in operation within the next sixty day * . Work on the remainder of the route will bo prosecuted as soon as the fran chise is granted thorn to enter the city. This right will bo granted at the next election , and before fall it is probable that cars will bo running the full length of the route. As now laid out tiie road will run east on Park street from West Side to llanscom park , thence north on Thirty-second street , bettor known as Madison street , to Woolworth avenue , hence east either to Twenty-seventh itrcet or to Twentieth street , thcnco lorth to Leavcnworlh street , thcnco cast .o Sixteenth streetthence north to Dodge itreet , thence cast to Thirteenth struct , .hence north to the St. Paul depot. Ambler Place is situated within the two and a half mile circle and only a half nile directly west of llanscom Park , in ho southwestern part of the city , adjoin- tig tlio poor farm , and upon the highest md most beautiful plateau overlooking ho .southwestern part of the city there s Ambler Place. Its streets and avenues need but little work to bring them to per fect grade , though about 200 men are now leveling the avenues as rapidly as [ hat number of men can. Ambler Place low contains twenty-live or thirty nice residences , a church and several other buildings , while only last week the con tracts were let for the erection of eleven now and beautiful two-story houses at an average cost of $2,000. Besides those , a majority of the purchasers to-day will build , and before snow Hies that part of tlio city will bo well supplied wilh houses. Then the probabilities are that depot will bo orcctod on the belt line within two blocks of Ambler.Place , on which road passenger trains are now run ning to and from the city , while the sure "hing is the Omaha Southwestern street sar line , which will bo inoperation.withiu sixty days , and will run by Ambler Place as far west as Eekcrman Place. This line will give the residents in Ambler Place : wo ways for reaching the city , the busi ness portion boms reached by the street cars in less then twenty minuets. That is to say , that Ambler Place can bo reached in from lire to ten minutes less ime than llanscom park , under tlio pros- ; nt facilities. Those who have scon this : ity grow to its present size can easily reali/.e what the future of Ambler place will bo with its street car line , and all will unite in saying that no better invest- nont is offered iu Omaha to-day than a ot in Ambler place , and for homo pur poses it cannot bo excelled. Carriages will leave the oflico of Harri son , Ambler & Woolloy , 418 S , Ifith St. , this morning and until all the lots are sold , although the special discount will only hold good for Tuesday. J.

FIELD AND FARM. A'rbgr Day. Philadelphia News : The name of J. Sterling Morton , of1 Nebraska , will long deserve honor by .Americans , for he is the man who lirst proposed the Institution of Arbor day , whidh has now become generally observed throughout the country. i It has taken some experience lo find the best day of celebration. At lirst Arbor day was placed too soon , owing to tlio generally accepted but fallacious theory that spring begins on April 1. Governor Beaver has recognized the need of a later day than usual by hxing it ou April 22 instead of April 15 , as hereto fore. fore.Tho The admonition contained In the gov ernor's proclamation ought generally to bo observed. The nowsuapor press has been urging its importance upon the public for nearly ten years , anil the arguments of its practical necessity and usefulness are now generally recognized. A general observance ot Arbor day will in course of time result in prolit a hundredfold dred-fold over the expense , and will Improve the climate and beautify the land. Chicago Tribune : Arbor-Day dates back only lifteen years , when it was first observed in Nebraskain pursuance of an executive proclamation by the then gov ernor , acting on a suggestion made by J , Sterling Morton. The idea "took" at oneo with the people living on the tree less plains immediately west of the Mis souri a region which even appeared on many maps and in some geographies as a part of "The Great American Desert. " Twelve million shoots were planted on the occasion of the lirst observance of Arbor-Day , in Nebraska , anil at the next session of the legislature the day was made a legal holiday and premiums were awarded by law for setting out orchards , forest and ornamental frce.s. 'I ho custom has been observed over since , and as a result the United Slates Forest commissioner reports that ( it\u \ groves arc growing 300 miles west of the Missouri , and over 1)05,000,000 dimntive trees are now thriving where a few years ago none could bo .seen except along the streams. The example of Nebraska was quickly caught up by other states lirst Kansttc anil next by Minnesota anil at the pres ent time Arbor Day is quite generally observed in some twenty states , among hem Colorado , Wisconsin , Iowa , West Mrginia , Indiana , Vermont , Now Hamp- lure , Massachusetts , Now Jersey , Penn- ylvania. Florida , Alabama , Missouri , California , Kentucky , and Maine. In omc states the day is recognized by law , nd exemptions from taxatian are offered s a reward for tree-planting , while in 'tiier ' states the observance is secured by ic efforts of the Grangethe Grand Army f the Republic , or by agricultural so- ietics. Begun inainiy to secure eco- omlc wood-growing , the custom is now irecled toWard securing the adornment f home and school. ' grounds , and Arbor ) ny is frequently rc'eogni/.ed by procia- nations of state school superintendents oclaring it a holiday and prescribing the iiethod of its observance. The custom ias thus become established oven in urge ritie.s. At tlifj lirst observance of irbor day in Cintjmnati the school chil- ron planlcd memorial trees in honor of uithors , statesmen , , anil distinguished itizens , and where school grounds are tuple it is now q'uHo common to have 'Author's Groups , " "Soldier's Groups" 'Statesmen's GJ6\ips , " "Presidents' Iroups , " etc. % \ Tlio principal explanation offered why lie Prairie state is not among those ob- orving Arbor day is that no ono day vould servo in Illinois. But this objec- ion could bo mot , aS was the case in Col- > rado _ , by setting auart two days , the arlicstfor the southern and and the lat er for the northern section. Illinois liould bo among the states giving the trongcst encouragement to tree-plani ng. As Prof. Brewer well says. Arbor lay nan bo advocated for three very good easons : (1) ( ) Because it gives a bit of nature's teaching really needed when housuuds of children are growing up inablo to name throe kinds of trees or listinguish wheat from oats ; (2) ( ) because jf its economic importance in spreading vood growing throughout the state ; (3) ( ) jecauso of its results in clothing waste ) laccs with valuable timber and ucauti- ying the state. Fruit Trees Near Streams. Correspondence of tlio Rural New forkor : Apple and pear trees will bear umually line crops of fruit if standing close to the banks of a living stream. A 'Jemish beauty pear trco stands in a lit- lo swalo , where a clear stream of water runs , fed by a spring a few rods distant , and at all times , spring and summer , the oots on oubside of this tree are sub- ncrged in the water. Last year wo picked from this trco a bushel and a half of as line pears as ono need to look at. They were largo , of higli color , and good laver , and wore indeed beauties. The trco is healthy and vigorous , and is yet young. On the bank beside a larger stream stand two Baldwin apple trees. They were two chance seedlings , and they were grafted a few years ago. The roots of these extend down the banks into tlio running water. They bear an nual crops of line , large , high colored apples , free from worms or specks. The trees nro remarkably vigorous and pro ductive. Such a thing as an insect is not seen on either of these trees. Can we not utilize tlio streams in our country by planting trees on the banks , tiius gottinp a prolit loom otherwise waste ground. Seasonable Hints and If you wish fo prevent weeds and grass from growing on the walk ways .sprinkle kerosene oil freely , but bo careful not tt got it on the plants you wish to grow along the borders. White clover is the best grass that car be grown for sheep. Sheep tire not par tialto long grass , and the white clovoi will always bo selected by them in prof crenco to other kinds. Sow early beets as soon as the groum shall bo warm. Use plenty of well rot tctl stable mauiirb and about throi pounds of nitrate &f boda on each bqutin rod of ground. - - Do all you can to encourage the birds They are your to-'gj friends. Protec them and their nests , and keep a watcl on tlio family cats which do the bird much damage. J ( It is best not only fo broadcast and hat row in tlio munuraifnr melons , but nisi to use plenty of fertilizer in the hills Raise the hills soflUiat all the surplu water will How ollj u Ashes , or potash , salts , will bo foutu excellent for'tho ( fruit trees , now thn they are throwing puf leaves. Later 01 nn application of superphosphate will b of advantage. q Sheep graze very closely , and shouli not bo allowed ou grass that is baokAvar iu growth or where the lield is not we ! covered , unless such grass is undesirable As the grass is beginning to shoot keo a close watch on the onion crop. Of a crops the onion soonest succumbs to th intrusion of grass and weeds , A Hold that is overrun with wild onion should bo plowed as early as.possiblo an put to corn. It is a waste of time an labor to use such Holds for pasture. Don't bo in a hurry to get out the egn plants , tomatoes , hiring , beans , lim beans and squash. A slight frost wil destroy all your work. The best disposal to make of law : grass when mowed closely is to feed it t < the hens , as it will bo about the propo length for that mirpose. The best results can bo obtained fror marl by composting it with barn-yar manure and keeping the heap well satur ated with urine. At this season fowls and rhlcks are high in price , whllo i-ggs are cheap. In the fall aud winter this reverse Is the case. For shade In the poultry yard this sum mer , am ) as a protection to Ihe chicks against hawks , plant squashes. The Colorado Farmer thinks poling not only unnecessary , but a disadvantage to lima beans , and advises the clipping oil'of the climbing tendrils , tint * making the plants low ana bushy and filled with pods. Vcntlliito the building where your poultry is kept daily , no matter how cold thu day may oe. Lot tlio foul air out and I he fresh air in amongst tlio birds. Thus only can you keep them heallhy in con finement. The quality of Holstoln beef is of the finest kind , the rat bctler distributed through the lea than in almost any breed , and the butcher , who was at lirst opposed to the Holslcin , will now , says the Rural SVorld , give more for a Hoi- stein than any other stock , Peter Henderson says the English mar kets demand red kinds of celery for llic most part. Though red kinds have been ignored in this country , there Is now a growing demand for ihem , as they are more solid , ami hcneo keep better in winter. They also have more of the nutty flavor than the while kinds. All Iho best butter comes from what are styled "fancy farms , " which iudieaU'S that the so-called "fancy" fanners are those who adopt the most improved methods and use only llio choicest stock. The schools should join in celebrating Arbor day. and every farmer is interested in impressing on the young tlio import ance of its observance and the future benefits to be derived Iherelrom. Potash fertilizers have decidedly im proved desirable qualities ot fruits , wherever applied. ft is claimed sorrel can bo ercadicatud from fields by the generous application of uiilcachod wood ashes. Good onion seed , planted earlj and well in good rich soil , well manured , and js almost certain to produce a largo yield if properly cultivated. In pruning very voting pear trees en courage growth of wood 111 proper direc tions , instead of fruit production at t-hc expense of development. Where only one cow is kept on a small farm a space should ue devoted to a crop of oats and peas , as a supply of early green food. Sow the oats and pens to- pother , and begin feeding as soon as the rep shall bo high enough to cut. It may bo followed by late fodder corn. Aged animals should bo fed ground bed , as they cannot grind whole grains , .ho consequence being a waste of food unless the food be ground. By so doing n smaller proportion of food will bo re quired , while the animals will keep in belter condition. It is not an uncommon error to sup pose animals that eat but little are the most prolilable. So long as an animal is capable ot digesting and assimilating it , 'he greater the amount of food it con- iiimes the more profitable are the re- urns , for the proportion of tlio food that goes to supply the waste of tissue and run the animal machinery is less when a arge than when a small amount is eaten. The lirst pound , or the lirst 100 pounds , of beef , mutton or pork , is the most cosliy. The greater the weight an ani mal can be made lo attain in tlio shortest period of time llio smaller Ihe cost per pound proportionately. It requires no more labor to feed a steer weighing 2,000 lounds than it doc.s to feed a steer Yeigliing 1,000 pounds. The cost of pro duction docs not depend solely upon the amount of food consumed , but upon the food , shelter and labor.
