C'URE FOR COLIC.

One evening , "recently'C. M. Vando-
sell , a resident of South Omaha , had oc
casion to bring homo with him an unusu
ally largo amount of money and had no
safe in which to put it for the night.
While trying to find a suitable place , his
eye lit on the cold steve , and acting on
the impulse of the moment , he put the
cash down into the lire box in the ashes ,
confident that his greenbacks would bo
safe from all nocturnal ramblers. Dur
ing the night ho was attacked by some
thing like u colic , and his wife had to
got up , start a lire and prepare some re
lief for his pain.Vhilo lying on 1'is bed
groaning , he caught a sniff of burning
leather. In a moment his aches were for
gotten and ho rushed to the steve ,
grabbed the poker frantically , and soon
Drought forth the book and contents in
rod and gray embers. His colic troubled
him no more that night.
11IIOKE HIS ARM.
Ed Miller's Disastrous Row With
Pugilist Patsy O'tionrr.
Patsy O'Lcary , the pugilist who came
to town a few days ago , was enjoying a
few bottles of wine with Ed Miller ut the
St. Cloud lust evening. Unfortunately
the two imbibers got into an altercation ,
which resulted in a general scrap.
Miller was kicked about tlio floor con
siderably , and in the melee someone
kicked his loft arm , breaking it just
above the wrist. Oflicer Green appeared
upon the scone , and arrested Miller for
assault and battory. The prisoner was
taken to the station house. City Physi
cian Ralph set the bones. George Cook ,
a bystander , is booked as the complain-

William II. McUovern , while in a

got into a dispute witli Fred Mnginty ,
who was standing nt the corner of Tenth

provocation , ho suddenly drew ti dirk
and attempted to thrust it into Maglnty's
breast. Magmty jumped back just in

ing his clothes and inflicting n slight tlesh
wound on his loft breast. Oflicor
Dempsy , who was near by , took McGov-

Hans ThcilgaarJ , proprietor of the At

arrested Friday for alleged interference
with Olllcer Ward while ho was hunting
after u party who had been engaged in a
fight on the street near the hotel , had n.
jury trial yesterday afternoon and was
discharged , the uvldonco showing that
o the charge was entirely unfounded. It
was also shoHi that Ward had roughly
d approached Thcilguard nnd sought ad
mission to the lattur's house without giv
ing any reason therefor , threatening to
force au entrance by a threat of violence.
It was also showa tlint there was no fight

Re-view of the Past nnd the Prospect
of Next Weolc.
The past week has not been very
lively in the amusement ! world. The
peoples' purses had run low because of
the subscriptions and expenses incidental
to the fair , reunion and veteran firemen's
reception , while excitement of these
gatherings in no way conduced to prepare -
pare the people for the pleasures of the
theatre Coup's cquoscurriculurn , al
though worthy of patronage , was ex
hibited to light houses at the Exposition
hall. Miss Marie Prcscott appeared to
appreciative , although unromnnerativc
audiences at tlio lioyd. Her Parthonia
nnd Rosalind have already been reviewed
n these columns. They were very cred-
lablo characterizations , nud the regret
was general that she was handicapped
by a company of sticks.
There was a double bill last night , com
prising the "Merchant of Venice , " and
"Taming of the Shrew. " In each , the
company appeared to greater advantage
than it did in any of the preceding per
formances. Misa Prescott's was a most
interesting Portia , and , in the trial scene ,
reached an intensity which gained and
successfully retained the attention of tlio
audience. In Shylock , Mr. McLean did
his best work of the engagement ! Yet ,
nt times , ho was unpardonably vocifer
ous and wearing on the ear , and evrtn
drowned his lines by his senseless and
antiquated stamping of the stage. His
best work was in the last scone , and was
about as creditable as ought to have boon
expected from him.
From Portia to Katharine is a long
step. Yet Miss Prescott accomplished
the gradation with considerable success.
But , tlio Potrachiol It was that of a
coarse frontiersman , without a icdceni-
ing feature of lightness , grace , case or
vivacity. It was merely mechanical.
Not a ray of genius illumined it. The
audience laughed , but it WHS at the idea
and situation not the achievement of the
actor. Mr. McLean may assume charac
ter work but he cannot play leading roles
in the lighter Shakesperian comedies in
which ho has appeared here.
THE BOVI ) .
"A Rag Haby" will begin a three
nights' engagement to-morrow evening
at this theaterwith the comedian Charlie
Reed as Old Sport. The company has
been changed since last seen hero , only u
few of the old members being retained.
Milton Nobles , ono of the Omaha fav
orites , will appear on next Thursday ,
Friday and Saturday evenings , with the
usual matinee on the afternoon of the
last day. Ho will appear , for the lirst
time in this city , in his now play , "From
Sire to Son , " which has been produced
with considerable success in tlio east.
He will also produce his other favorite
piece , "Lovo and Law , " though at the
present writing no announcement has
been made of his "Phenix. "
Manager lioyd has now engaged in
painting new scenery for his stage , Kn-
gone Cox , an export artist from Now
York , who will add to tlio stock a number
of fancy chambers , wings , borders , u
pair of tormontoes and several set pieces
which will greatly amplify the present
excellent resources of tlio stage.
QltANl ) Ol'F.UA HOUSE ,
The week at this house will open with
a piece , yet new t < > our theatro-gocrs ,
named "Two Old Cronies. " It will bo
played Monday , Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings.
On Thursday evening Thomas W.
Kccuc will make his lirst nppearanco in
this city since his return to thn stage.
Two years ago ho played nt the lioyd
and the evening after his last perform
ance hero , ho was stricken in nn almost
unaccountable manner witli paralysis at
Kansas gity. It U S , i4 that Mr. Kee.ne's
period of cdhvalesconco has boon devoted
to study , and that his work is now moro
acceptable than it was before. On Thurs
day bight ho appears in Richollou , Fri
day in Hamlet , Saturday matinee Merch
ant of Venice , and in the evening Rich
ard III.
A. ' U , Crossman , an nrtistlo decorator
of Chicago , has been hero for several
days' , conferring with the directors ol
the grand opera house with a view ol
finishing , the interior. The work , has
been decided upon , but the fomutlity of
kins and 8-4 Cloths as being the
greatest bargains we have ever
offered our customers in Table
Linens.
B-8 FINE DAMASK NAPKINS ,
$6.75
All the 6-8 Napkins that we
have been selling from $8.6O to
$12.8O per dozen we will sell
Monday at $6.78 per dozen.
These Napkins are the finest
made , and we only make this
ridiculous price to close out the
broken sets and odd patterns.
There is not a great quantity of
these Napkins. We advise our
customers to come early and get
a good selection.
8-4 FINE DAMASK TABLE
CLOTHS.
All the 8-4 fine Table Damask
Cloths that we have been selling
from $5.8O to $0.7S--we make
one price on the lot , $4.25. These
Cloths are all clean and perfect ,
and we only sell them at this
price because we have no Nap
kins to match.

Napkins that we have sold from
$7.BO to $9.6O. On Monday our
price is $6.76.
3-4 FINE DAMASK , NAPKINS

TIII ; Doitis & coi.vis snow.
The above named amusement confed
eration has been exhibiting in Kansas for
tlio past seven weeks , and will exhibit in
Omaha on Tuesday , September 22 , giving
two grand performances , one at 3 and
ono at 7 p , m. The Doris & Colvin cir
cus this season is n circus indeed , con
sisting of colossal combinations of amuse
ment of all kinds and embracing in its
list of performers many of the best known
names in the profession.
The various departments of the show is
a guarantee of the sullicicnoy ot enter
tainment. There is a triple circus , a
monster monagarie , a world's museum ,
an elevated stage , a grand Roman hippo
drome , and a now wild west , nil in ono
grand series of entertainments.
Probably tlio greatest tcaturo of the
great show is the massacre of General
Custor. That unprecedented massacre
is reproduced with historical correctness
by Indians , scouts , soldiers , etc. , and is
one of the most , if not indeed the most ,
thrilling scenes over enacted.
Many wild west scenes are given , so
many in fact , that it is claimed to bo the
only comulote wild west now in this
country. The Roman hippodrome is also
very If no. Roman standing , vaulting ,
chariot and steeple chases , as well as
modern running and trotting races ,
being the order ot the day. Tno races
are run on a quarter of a mile track ,
which surrounds the circus ring and the
elevated stage. The whole show , indeed ,
is highly praised by press and people ,
the circus menagerie , hippodrome and
all being astounding in si/o and merit.
Captain K. E. Stubbs , the world's
champion wing shot , will give daily ex
hibitions of fancy shooting.
nrcnUIni ; llronolios.
Yesterday morning a disgraceful spec
tacle was presented on Farnam street by
the attempt to break a broncho into the
subjection expected of aBtroet car horse.
The broncho in question was attached to
car 54 , which , however , bore no street
sign , lie was a spirited animal. Ho
chafed under the collar , and endeavored
by vicious strikes of the head to rid him
self of the lines , livery time the traces
struck him ho lumped as high as the
car and battered thu front platform with
all the enthusiasm of a bats drummer.
Two men wore required to do tlio driv
ing and ono manned the brako. Thn
horse was tortured witli a1 bit line whicli
ono of the men controlled , and usctl
when the broncho became particularly
unruly , to bring him to his knees. All
down the street the horse roarud ant
plunged ami staggered , until hundreds
of pcoplo condemned the policy which
required such dangerous exhibitions on
the street. This it but ono of twenty
bronchos which are to bo domesticated.

Omaha is used to sensations. Gigantic
schemes and stupendous enterprises , have
characterized it from the beginning. We
talk now of our hundred thousand pop
ulation and our thrice millionaire bank
ing institutions , with as much sans-
concionce , simply because they arc of
every day occurrence.
In the world commercial , it not in the
world spectacular , wo talk also of her-
culcon schemes , as a matter of course ,
for our people arc used to them. But now
comes the great Forepangh show. Sept.
23 is the time fixed for its advent among
us. What shall wo siotof it ? It is said
of it , what wo know tolfo true of Omahu ,
viz. , that it is "throe times larger than
over. "
This is evidence enough. Omaha 1ms
always bad a bona lido nnd legitimate
progress. The same may bo said of the
Forcpuugh show. It is the same grand
combination which created such a furore
at the Madison Square Garden , New
York , last winter and spring , and which ,
after going west as far us Chicago , whore
it did the biggest business over known ,
returned east nnd remained three weeks
ut Eras tin a , Staten Island , playing to
nearly 20,000 a day. It is again on the
road , going west and southwest , and , as
might bo expected , everywhere meeting
with the most overwhelming success ,
