After bearing the reports of the president , treasurer nnd secretary on the receipts nnd disbursements on account of the Grand , opera house , exposition hall , annex and stores , which were very fall and complete , a lengthy discussion of the general interests of the association followed. It was voted to bo the sense of the mcotlng that the interior ot the Grand opera house should bo decorated and a well known Chicago decorator will doubtless bo invited to prepare plans and specifications , which will bo presented nod acted upon at a stockholders' meeting to bo hereafter hold. Tlio old board of directors \vns unanimously ro-clcctcd , but the hour being late the election of officers was de ferred until another mcotlng. A proposition wai made by Mr. T. P. Glenn t& rent the Grand operrt house , but the existing arrangements with Mr. Craw ford precluded nhy action on the proposition. It was clearly the expressed opinion of the stockholders present that any proposition nt any time having in view the use tof ilia Grand opera house as a variety theater would not bo considered.

Yesterday a delegation of South Omaha ofllcials and citizens called upon P. E. Her , of the South Omaha Land company , to talk over with him the prospects of that city , as , also to induce his company to aid them in the construction of n viaduct over the tracks on Q street. The latter street Is situ ated considerably above L street , on which the laud company ho ? already consented to build a viaduct. The proposition therefore , to aid materially in Uo ) erection of another viaduct rather soutli of the part of the town which ought Hrst to bo developed , did hot strike Mr. Her as being just the thing his company would nt this tlmo favor , bo- causa it was already spending a great deal of money in improvements which were now ren dered Imperatively necessary. The proposed Viaduct at Q street would costit was thought about 2',000 ' ) , and Mr- Her felt that later on the land company might bo able to do some thing to advance the enterprise. The building of the viaduct nt L street , Mr. Her said would have u wonderful effect upon South Omaha-and , ho thought , result in the closing up of O street which now leads across the tropics to the exchange and the extension in that direction of the yards. The building too of the addition to the exchange would swing around the volunio qf business to L street where It would always remain. In the contract with Armour it seems the stockyards company guaranteed to him n llrst-class , easy driveway to the city. The viaduct contemplated is ono of the first moves in this direction , and will enable an easy crossing of the tracks to bo made , thence striking the boulevard norfh and northwest , crossing theB. . & M. track op posite the round-house , then crossing again near the intersection of the Union Pacittc and tbo B. & M. , thence north to B street , whore another boulevard branches off to the southwest and runs to Ylnton street. The other one continues north , skirts Hanscom park on the west and runs up to Poppleton nvenuo , up to which place the city has al ready agreed to pave. This pavement will extend thence east on Poppleton avenue to Park avenue , thence to Lcavonworth to Twenty-sixth street. This work of boulo- varding the street In South Omaha re quires the grading of about fifty thousand cubic yards , the expense of which will be berne by the South Omaha Land company. The remainder in the city will have to be done by the city. The company , however , will not stop with this work because its contracts , especially with Armour , require a good road to this city , which can bo had only by paving or macadamizing. That packer was offered a lot for nothing in this city upon which to build a distributing house but refused the offer. Ho said he wouldn'.t ' talio It as a gift. Ho had his teams and proposed to deliver his meat to every retail purchaser within a few hours after killing the beeves. All ho wanted was a good rood and that , Mr. Her said , would bo given him , and if practicable the work of macadamizing or paving tbo South Omaha boulevard would bo commenced as soon as the grouad settled. The committee which called upon Mr. Her comprised Mayor Sloan , Councilmen McMlllon and Rafforty , and Messrs. Hunt , Anderson and Howard from the board of trade. They seemed satisfied with the fair- minded statement made by Mr. Her , and then left to call upon the railroad companies , the representatives of which told them to get some estimates us to the cost of the via duct , and call and see them ngalu. UELr CANNING. Mr. Her afterwards told the BED reporter that Mr. Bosor loft Omaha ! on Saturday last , nnd is no.w in consultation with Nels Morris in Chicago , with a view to agreeing upon de tails for tbo establishment in South Omulii of the largo beef canning institution already referred to In those columns.

St. Loulu THE SOUTH OMAHA BUDGET , A Very Lively Session of The Olty Council. TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS MADE. The EvMnr&hnl Given n Job AS n Pollcomnn Itobnii Gets the Street Commlssloncrslilp Other City News. South Onmlia's City Council. The Iron gratings loojned ominously In the council chamber last night , and whllo the three prisoners bohtiid tjia bars gazed wist fully on the members of the council who sat in front of the bars the aforesaid members gnzod at caoh other. It was only n case of misplaced bars , for It did seem out of place to have the jail and the council chamber in the ono room. As it was , however , the coun- cilmcn had the best of it , foe whllo they xvcro outside and had no inclination to change places , the thrco highwaymen were within and would have willingly done so If they could. It was a case of tlioso who behaved themselves and those who didn't. Marshal McCrackcn was on hand as usuaLto see that his proteges ( the council ) did so , and In duo time called them to order Then Clerk Hooter , more familiarly known as "Tomtny" called the roll , and read the minutes , both of which were duly approved. When the reports of standing committees were called for , Councilman Bnyllss stood , and addressed the mayor. As ho only asked for" further time on behalf of "streets and grades" and "ordinances , " ho was accom modated and gave place to Councilman Mc Millan , who also stood. He asked for simi lar favors for the finance committee and ho got them. When the now ordinances \yero called for , the clerk read ono relative to the nUinboring'of streets and houses , in which Q street was named as the dividing line be tween north and south , and the river , the basis of streets running parallel to It , from east to west. Twenty feet fiontago on each street \yill bo entitled to a house number in each block. It was referred to the ordinance committee on motion of Councilman Smith with three seconders. The committee on viaducts did not wish to tell "what they heard and what they know" just now , and were granted further time to do so. Another special committee reported that the books of the ex-clerk had been examined and found correct. There were outstanding warrants against the city amounting to $3,704.1 , and claims accepted up to April 1 § 1,714.03 , neither of which wore included In the out standing judgment , but then the clerk had $23 m tljo dog fund , and the committee there fore rccomoudcd that $1,200 bo taken from the general fund and placed to the credit of the salary fund. This was considered satis factory , and the roix > rt was adopted. The petition of Pat Kico for a position on the po lice force was reported on favorably , nnd that of S. W. Dennis for a license as hack- man and auctioneer , referred to the finance committee. A request from the property owners interested , to open nn alloy between J and K streets , from Twenty-second to Twenty-fourth streets was referred , as was that of Thomas Brennan for a position on the iK > llce force. The Omaha Packing house company asked that four fire plugs bo placed on their premises , to bo uniform in size with those now in the city. As the company owns more hose" than the city , and as they inti mated they would loan it in case of lire , Councilman O'Rourko voted aye , Councilmen - men Smith and McMillan nay. and others didn't vote at all. This called for another vote , and It was lost , but Councilman Smith moved that the matter be referred to tbo lire nnd water committee. This was carried , and then the members commenced to talk about it , Councilman Rafferty wanting to know who would pay for the plugs when placed , and Councilman Burk telling the advantages of that 2,000 feet of hose. The question was dropped , and the ; x > tition of William McDermott - mott for a position on the police force was put on file. Councilman McMillan wanted to know if thev required any more men , nna Marshal McCraokcn emphatically reported that they did. "His remarks were to the point , and were endorsed by the snores of ono of the prisoners who had lost interest in the proceedings nnd fallen asleep in the cells at the back of the room. Some time was taken up in talking over the matter , and Marshal Mc- Cracken suggested that a "rounder" was wanted. The Wide awake prisoner in the cell emphatically said "yes , " and then made some remarks that were unintelligible , while the sleepy ono quit snoring. The question was finally dropped , and the question of ob taining the street profiles from ox-Engmeet Meyers taken up. Attorney Makepeace rep resented the ex-engineer , and stated that his client had done the work , furnished the paper and done many other things without any compensation , and that he proposed to keep the plans until ho was paid for them. Councilman McMillan said the city wanted the plans , the ex-engineer had never asked for his money , the city could pay him , and were good for it if they couldn't. "We want the plans , wo want them right now , and we'll find n way to got them that's right , " said the councilman as ho sat down , and Council man Smith at once Introduced an ordinance to set aside u sufllcieut sum from the general - oral fund to go to the salary fund to settle all such unpleasantness. It was referred to the ordinance committee for ten minutes , and during the ten the harmony of the meeting was rudely disturbed bv the running in of O. E. Swift as a drunk. lie was quickly placed behind tnu bars , and during the commotion , the petition of John Condon for the position of street com missioner was read and placed on ttlo. The petition of Pat Rowley , requesting that o license be refused John O'Gormun for sundry reasons , shared the sumo fate , and a request to tax solicitors for laundry work was also placed on file. By this time the ten minutes were up , and the committee on ordinances reported ported in favor of transferring S1,2UO from the general to the salary fund. It was read a second and third time and declared carried , Under the head of communications , Council man Smith read the details of n scheme whereby the ina-'or bo authorized to raise upon his note as Mayor , the sum of $3,091,00 , paynblo ono year from duto to line Omaha Tmst and Loan company. H was put in the form of a resolution , and car ried , and the lloating debt will now bo con solidated , Engineer Loal reported on vu rlous grades and streets , and as > cd for a dcslc and was told to go and buy ono. There were no more communications , and when the "miscellaneous" was called , Councilman Mc Millan got off that old chestnut about the bill of the ox-engineer , it was placed on fllei On motion , the mayor appointed Councilmen Smith , O'Hourko and Engineer Lo.il us t committee to interview the refractory ox-en glneor not later than to-morrow. Council' man McMillan then moved that the engineer , In connection with the Union Pacific engi neer , prepare the plans nnd profiles necc sary to cruet n viaduor at Q street. Bills amounting to $ .53 were referred to the lliitinco commit tec , and then the most im portunt drama of the evening was played li one act. The mayor announced Uavo Hoban as his apj > oiitc ! < for street commissipncr , Councilmai Burke was apiwintcd teller , the vote was taken by ballot and Dave appointed on c votooftltoS. The mayor then appointee Put Rico to a position on the police force am the result showed that seven thought tin same way and one did not. By request , Citj Attorney Doud read a report showing that to his satisfaction , the old school board won out of office and should turn' over any col lateral they might be possessed of , and Coun clhnan McMillan thought the council line nothing to do with it Pat Rico and Dave Hoban were then sworn in to their respective offices , and the council adjourned to inee next Monday night. After the adjournment Councilmen Bayhs , O'Kourk and Burk wen appointed a committee on licenses , and tin meeting adjourned for a second time to mcc next Thursday night. They did not adjourn however , but went Into committee and talkei over the licenses until midnight. Church of 8t.

The artists in the employ of a photographer on North Sixteenth street Infd an unusual and rather tender duty to perform on Sunday last. It was the taking of the pictures of two babes as they lay dead in their coffins ready for burial. About' noon , Frank Dohl- strom , accompanied .by Ills wife , walked into the studio bearing on j his shoulder a coflln , Tenderly nnd with a display of emotion , ho laid the white painted jcasket on ntablo nnd asked that the featurospf his little darling bo taken that as time spreads along ho could look upon them and deplore the loss of the 'llowcr and joy of the family. The cover was removed from the recoptlcal of death , and the calm and innocent face of the departed was taken. The burial , robes were garland with bolts of smilax , and sweet perfumed lllllcs and roses. When the photographer had finished his work ; Dohlstrom screwed down the cover of tho1cofiln , and resting It upon his shqulder walked solemnly away. Soon after Dohlstrom's1 departure , Charles Felix came in on a llk& mission. He , too , had suffered an nflhctlon In the loss of his babe. The corpse reposed in a handsome casket of white , and a striking and beautiful photograph of it was taken , THE CALCULUS OK PROBABILITY HOW TO IlECKON CHANCES. The basis of calculation between cause and chance is to bo reckoned , so far as nmtlienYuties can figure out a result , upon data like the following1 : ' The. rules being of course , tlio recognized mathe matical ones that the chance of the con currence of two independent events is the product of their separate probabili ties. Wo know there is more or less frequency of recurrence than a fixed average ; then , for or against the prob ability , there is some cause nt work. The chance of ono or the other of two phenomena occurring , when two cannot occur , is the sum of their different prob abilities. For instance : "In the fall ol 1880 , " says Mr. J. W. Ames , Fairmont , Nob. , May 27 , 1887 , "my wife buffered intensely with what the doctors called sciatic rheumatism , and was helpless. Tried everything to no purpose. She wanted to try St. Jacobs Oil , but the doctors said 'no , ' but I got it , tried it , and it stopped the pain. She improved , and in a short time she had no use foi crutches. No return of pain in seven yours. " Mr. W. W. Hall , Adams Ex- probs Co , , BrooklynaN. Y , , was eurod of sciatic rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil , nnd writes under date of May 6,1887 : "I am still of tlio aaino opinion of its curative qualities for sciatic rheuma tism. " The probability of St. Jacobs Oil cur ing every time is reckoned upon known facts. Out of the twpnty million bottles sold not one in ten thousand ever fails to relieve nil ailments for.which it is n bpociiie- the chnnco against the proba bility is so slight that thcro must be some cause , and the cause is found to be that it is not properly apnliod or taken in timo. The ohancos uro also over whelmingly in its fuvor that the mac- volous cures wroght by it are the offset to the fovv cusos wherein it fails , and uro proofs that whore properly used it will euro and never fails.

"Yes , I was n very sick woman a year ago this labt winter. 1 contracted n severe cold , I had pain and discomfort In HIT chest , uml a sense of rawness or soreness In the upper part of my chest , which \\ns painful on coujjlilng.my cough was dry nnd hacking , especially on lying down nnd on waking. I felt feverish towniof night , but always felt easier In the forenoon , my brenthliifLwas labored , and I continually felt the want of mr. Sly wheezing w as distinctly audi ble to others , nnd the members of my family often referred to It. My eouga became very BO- vere , nnd my friends , nnd oven myself , thought tlmt 1 wns uoine Into consumption. I coughed , coughed.nnd my lungs v\ ere so sore that It racked me terribly , aftera spell I would raise tenacious material , often mixed with blood. I loit flesh nnd strength. I had a very tender spot In the loft side of my chest which caused mo consider able anxiety nnd led me to believe I was soon to be ono of the great throng that had cone before. I tried n variety of medicines , but they did not seem to reach the spot. At last my husband suggested that we go aud see Dr. McCoy. We dldbo. Ho pronounced my case curable , and I commenced treatment , that wns nbout three months ago I Improved rapidly nnd felt as w ell as over after two month's treatment , but decided to continue another month ns a matter of precaution. My lungs feel sound nnd strong , I do not cough , nnd feel that the doctor has really saved my life , and I cannot speak too highly of his skill nnd painstaking , not to men tion the moderate foes lie charged me.

A Few Symptoms of a Disease That Mny Prove Snrfons to Von. Do you have frequent Ots of mental depres sion ? lo you experience ringing or buzzing noises in vour care/ Io you feel ns though you must suffocate when lying down ? Are j-ou troubled with a hacking cough nnd general debility ? Are your eyes generally weak and watery , nnd frequently Inflamed ? Does your voice have n husk , thick sound , and a nasal sort of twang ? Is your breath frequently offensive from some unaccountable cnuse ? Have you a dull oppressive headache gener ally located over the eyes ? Do you have to hawk nnd couth frequently In the effort to clear your throat ? Are you losing your hense of smell , and Is your sense of tnsto becoming dulled , everyone allected will have n few ormnny of them. The greater or more serious your symp toms , the more dangerous your condition. This class of diseases Is treated very successfully by Dr. McCoy or hli associates. The many cases reported through thocolums of the dally papers provo this , and cnch statement published Is substantially the same ns given by tlio patient cured. Dr. McCoy und his associates , ufae no secret nostrums , but cure diseases by their skillful combination of the bebt known ro- medics , applied in the most approved manner , nnd by using the latest and roost highly recom mended appliances known to the piofcsslon. They thus produce rf suits that spenl : for themselves - selves In the many patients cured , and w e ns- Mire our readers that these eminent physicians have achieved a success in curing disease which tow or no other doctors can diiDlicnte. ALiRADINO PIWHIOtiOOlSX Advances Ilia Theory of Catarrh nnd Consumption His Advlco on tlio SnUIcor. One of the bolt learned physicians of modern times , in nn article on catarih and consumption bays : "Tho treatment of consumption has made inoat advances by thn Introduction of now rem edies , and Imx enabled the closa student and specialist to establish Indications for remedies lung in use. BO that by their methodical apullca- tlon betteresults nro attained than weio for merly gained nt a tlmo when consumption nnd cancer wore lognrdod as equally Incuinble , nnd were somewhat xlmllnrly trcatot. "Tho treatment of consumption demands n careful avoidance to all agunts calculated to cause hyperemla of the Uingsuud bronchial ca tarrh. Vcrsons In whom a tendency to con- Hiiuiptlon is suspected should bo treated with the greatest earn and attention. C'Tlnally , whenever thcro Is the slightest BUS- plclon of a predisposition to consumption , every catarrh , no mutter how ( .light , should be t teat oil with the utmost care , u hlch inunt not be lelaxod until the catarrh is entirely Well. This rule , so obvious from our point of view , It , very fre quently violated "Many patients fall a victim to the deeply rooted prejudice that a neglected catarrh never lettdii to consumption.
