Too much cannot bo said in pralso of the
ontcrtalnmcntuglvon by the Omaha Turn-
vercin ut the Hriyd last Wednesday evening.
The frequent outbursts of enthusiasm elic
ited from tljbffjrgo audience by the various
exercises showed an appreciation of the
splendid work'boing donoby the society.
The exorcises''on ' ' ' the parallel and horizon
tal bars and tlfii horse showed a prollciency
rarely attained even by professionals. Each
member semingly determined to outdo his
fellow turnsri It was n grand exhibition of
physical strfnli toned by grace und case of
execution.
The uddre'ss'oy the Hon. John M. Thurston
was a masterpiece , couched in that gentle
man's most happy terms. Ho gave a short
history of the founding of the Turner asso
ciation and touching on the excellence of the
German army , due to turn training , brought
his hearers down to the present and showed
them the vulno of such training to
our youth of to-day. Ho made the
strongest argument possible when ho
mudo mention of the fact that
ho would sooi\cr \ see his boy come home from
college a powerful athlete , prepared only to
force his way through the world , than to
como homo with all the learning possible and
his physical system a wrock. The most Mu
lshed performance of the evening was the
olub swinging by the instructor , Mr. H.
Kummcrow. The plaster tableaux , repre
senting Greek mythical groups , were also
well received. The flag cxercis > o and march
ing by the following little girls was ono of
the prettiest features of the evening : Lulu
Wittig , Ida Andres , Maggie Griftlth , Minnie
Hohrcr , Mhnio Andres , Ida Windhinn ,
Emma Thiele , Lizzie Strieker , Hattie Kcm-
merling , Dora Batzman , Lllllo Hcrnhard ,
Alma Stein , Mathilda Stein , Loulso Krolle ,
Francis Dillinan , Minuio Heimrod.
The dumboll uxorciso was also a very
pretty feature and was engaged in by tbo
Collowinc boys : Jackie Krug , Henry Pomy ,
Henry Fruohauf.'Eddre Wittig , Albert Krug ,
Willie Kroitoh , KudolphlCbch , Willie Krause ,
Eddie Spctman , Herman Houfller , Herman
Busch , John Huschman , HicliardPuIs.Adolph
Henning , Charlie Frielitmoycr , Carl Hoson-
niund.
The Omaha Turnvercin must certainly con
gratulate itself upon the excellent showing
they made of the progress of the school
Plcnsaiit Partnerships.
Miss Fannie Horwieh was united in mar
riage to Mr. N. Ginsberg at Germania hall
last Sunday evening before an assemblage of
over two hundred friends. HabbI Benson

ing. A silken canopy is uphold by four young

Great Night in Council.
Ordinances on their llrst reading were
taken up as a prelude to tlio adjourned
meeting of the city council last night , when
Councilman Leo presided in the absence of
President Bechel , who is confined to his
homo by illness.
The protest of Andrew Ucvins and others
against the standing of cabs on the north
west corner of Douglas and Thirteenth
streets , was referred to the committee on
police.
The contract of James Fox & Son for pav
ing Twenty-eighth street from Furnuin to
Lcuvcnworth with cednr blocks , with James
C. Hrcnniiti ana John I. Nichols as sureties ,
was approved.
A communication from the ICnights of
Labor asking for financial aid from the city
to defray the cxpenso of a Fourth of July
Jlroworks display was referred to the finance
committee.
Councilman Ilascall , In turning in his pro
test agmnst the establishment of the Pupo
soap works in the First ward , declaring it a
nuisance on the strength of u two-thirds vote
Of the residents of the ward , said that ho did
not do it with a view of discouraging manu
facturers from loc.Umg in the city. Hascull
claimed that ho had letters from Kansas
City , St. Louis and other points showing that
soap factories similar to that of the Page
works were a nuisance.
Councilman Snjtler deemed Hascull's
action as paying homage to one man , Mr.
Kountzc , who wanted to fence In the First
ward and keep out every enterprise
that did not suit him , Mr. Snydcr
had assurances from u largo number
of the property-owners of the
First ward Unit they were in favor of the
works. "If the works should prove a nui
sance. " maintained Mr. Snydcr , "thii council
can declare them such and close them up. "
He was in favor of giving them a chance.
Councilman Ilascall delcnded his report ,
and said the First ward was not ready to
tolerate the "nuisance. " If other ward *
wanted it they were welcome to it.
Councilman Klcrstcad insisted that soap
factories were not a nuisance , and pointed
out that the famous Kirk soap works , of Chicago
cage , and that of the Babbitts , of New York
City , were right in the heart of the olties
mentioned , and that no evil effects were
noticeable from them. Mr. Page had pur
chased property , was going to employ a largo
number of men ami should bo fairly treated
by the council.
After a lengthy debate the report declaring
the heap works a nuisance vuis adopted by u
vote of U to 2 , Councilmen Snyder and ICiur-
stcaU casting the dissenting votes.
\Vlien the committee on gas and electric
lights send in u rujtort favoring the payment
of 1,4J.'J5 for tbo lighting of the city during
the months of January < February and Match ,
from the general appropriation ordinance , it
caused Councilman Kierstoad to object
against it. He thought the mayor would
veto it if it was passed. Councilman Foid
was willing to give tljo mayor n chance to do
it , as was Councilman Lowry. Councilman
Manville favored the payment of the claim
for the reason that the council would bo in a
better jiosition to declare its Independence
of tbo company. Ho referred to the fact
that the council wort ) continually ordering
the company to lay mains throughout the
city , and deemed it 11 cheeky process when
tliu city owed them so much money.
Councilman Alexander gave his opinion
that the gas company is entitled to its pay ,
but so long as u dispute exists between I ho
company and the city he thought it should be
left to the courts to settle.
Councilman HoKcall hud no doubt that tbo
contract was in force aud that the company

Councilman Alexander said Hascall's In-
ecnious argument had a tendency to misrep
resent what ho wuntqd to convey.
Councilman Ford censured tlio chairman of
the gas and electric light committee ( Manville -
villo ) for carrying the bills in his pocket
from month to month.
Councilman Lmvry thought the council
should adopt the report of the committee ,
allow the claim and leave the mayor to
