Have you noticed the improvements gibing on in the western part of the city" ?
A ride in that direction will prove a greai surprise to anyone who has not been through
j
that section for the past month or so. Farnarn street is now graded to tne city limits and
sidewalks laid nearly to the Belt Line railway ! Ouming street is being paved to Lowe Avenue -
<
nue , and graded and sidewalked to the city limits. The growth of Omaha is decidedly west
ward , and new houses are being erected in most every quarter.
Dundee Place lies just outside the city line , and is bounded on the south by Dodge street ,
extending north beyond Ouming street. The development of this property has attracted buy.
ers and home-seekers from all parts of Omaha , and many from other places , who purpose mak
ing their future homes here.
Will be THE place for comfortable and fine homes , no house oan be built to cost less than
$2,500 while others will cost many times that amount. There will be no business oi any kind
in the residence district , and no nuisance will ever be permitted under penalty of a forfeiture
of title-
Dundee Place will not only be a most select and desirable place for a home , but will also
prove one of the most profitable investments to those who buy the ground now , while the price
is low and choice lots can be secured.
Parties who wish to build and desire a loan , can be accomodated with liberal building loans.
We are pleased to show this property at any time. Flats can be obtained at our office.

LOOK OUT ron THEM.
During the state fair an old couple hailing
from St. Joe , Mo. , did the city mid fair
visitors promiscously , attended by a little
girl , who held the cup for the charltes of the
public that chanced to pity the aged and
blind. It is not drawing it too strong to say
that no greater frauds ever visited the city.
The authorities of St. Joe say that while the
couple in question arc old and blind , they
possess a fortune of not less than $30,000 and
do not need aid from any one. And , moreover ,
they resort to ways that arc dark to gather
In the nickels and dimes. While hero the
little girl who was with them was kidnapped ,
stolen from her homo and forced to hold the
"charity cup" while the old man played tbo
violin and the old woman did ths song act.
The parents getting wind of the whereabouts
of their little daughter wired the police to
send her homo , but the old frauds had loft
the city. However , a day or two ago , they
put in their appearance hero again , and are
now begging from corner to corner and
street to street. The public will do well to
give them a wide berth. They do not need
aid. They are better ublo to care for the
poor than to be cared for. They are big and
fat , from lifty to sixty years oJ ago and their
identity need never become a matter of ques
tion. From the state fair the couple went to
Kearney , and worked the Grand Army boys
and regulars during their week of encamp
ment.
lIKIJLTOli TV. S. STAKKET VS. JUDGE FIELD.
The brief of Attorney Lambertson In the
case of the State ox vel W. S. Starkoy vs.
Judge Allen W. Field was filed in the su
preme court to-day. The petition sets up the
interesting fact that the relutor , W. S. Star-
key , has a case pending in the Lancaster
court against the Chicago , Burlington &
Qulnoy railroad company , which the respond
ent refuses to try because he says the cause
has been removed.
Starkey alleges that no petition bos ever
beeu filed asking the respondent to remove
the casu , and no order has been made by him
directing or consenting to its removal , and
asks the supreme court for a writ of manda
mus to compel the respondent to give the
case a hearing.
The re Into r further states that an
application for removal must bo
to a state court , and that said
court must have something to say
before it can bo robbed of ill jurisdiction.
"Here , however , the district court wrenches
the c.iso from tnu state court without oven
showing the scant courtesy of obtaining * * 3
consent , " but tbo principal " "Sund upon
which the rclaU.r'i . _ > ret-f1on Is based is , that
nuder Uie. pretitlaw a removal can not be had
° ? ' " "ground of local prejuce where any
of the defendants are residents of the same
state as that ot the plaintiff. If this position
is incorrect it is argued that the present law
Is a violent departure from all the other re
moval laws , especially where the ground for
such removal Is local prejudice. Tne caic
will bo submitted on the brief of Attorney
Lambertson next week. The case is of con
siderable interest and decision upon U will
be wutched with Inturrst.

The student * of the sUte university held t
moss meeting it the chipcl last evening ti
discuss the fraternity question. SInce thi
formation of the fraternities in the institu
Uon , dating several years bpck , there ha.
been a itrong opposition to them. Still , dur
lug the post two years , the opposition U
them has been rather dormant. This year ,
however , the battle promises to rage with all
the former bitterness , and unless the line is
drawn somewhere bad blood will exist in
deep wells before the year has gone. The
fraternities have announced that the literary
societies must go. But a majority of the
students are "barbarians" and they have
commenced to plan their campaign , and will
have it inaugurated'in good time. The meet
ing last night was well attended and very
enthusiastic. "When Greek meets Greek

A GREAT AND NEEDED WORK.
American Literature From the Ear
liest Settlement to the Present Time.
From the point of view alike of the
scholar , the student and patriot , a work
which judiciously presents the repre
sentative thought in American litera
ture from the first colonial days to the
present time , a period of two and three-
quarter centuries , is a contribution to
the sources of knowledge and to national
pride and aspiration of the vert' high
est value. Such a work the country
needs aud has long needed. It is re
quired for the interests of popular en
lightenment. It is a want which every
student feels. It is n fountain to which
the scholar may go to refresh his
thought. It is a repository where the
American poet , orator and patriot may
find ideas and inspiration. The coun
try has been most inadequately sup
plied with sources of information re
garding the progress of its literature
and the best thought of those who have
made its literature. The greater part
of all that has been hitherto done to
supply this knowledge has not been
thoroughly and capably done. It is not
wanting in the evidences of research
and industry , but in most other condi
tions it is defective and unsatisfactory.
What was required was a
work that should place before
the reader select and character
istic examples of the literature of the
country , presented in chronological ar
rangement , and chosen for the genuine
interest of their style or subject matter.
Such a work we now have in "A Li
brary of American Literature , " com
piled and edited by Edmund Clarence
Stedman and Ellen Mackay Hutchison ,
and published by Charles L. Webster
Co. , of New York. This work will be
in ten volumes and the labor of its
preparation has already consumed five
years. We hayo the authority of so
competent and independent a critic
as Mr. W. D. Howells that the
labor has been most judiciously
performed , juid no one will hesf-
. tnte tosccept this verdict who has any
knowledge of the high literary qualifi
cations of Mr. Stedman and his peculiar
fitness for a task of this kind , while the
accomplished lady who has been his co-
laborer occupies a place in the front
rank of literaryistuuents and critics.
Their work U tt. . monument to their
ability , industry , and discrimination
which will stand , for generations and
has deservedly , received the unqualified
corataendatlon , , qi the most capable
judges of its merU. Wo cannot present
such a review of this most valuable work
as its worth ! VroM'd justify. Columns
might bo occupied in giving it
just and merited consideration. It
covers , as wo'have already said , two
and three-quarto * ' centuries of Amer
ican literature , divided into successive
periods , so that tko reader can have no
difficulty in tracing the march of liter
ary aspiration , effort and achievement.
Ho will also be enabled to discover in
the process of literary evolution in this
country , which has really been very
rapid , the growth of social and political
changes , as well as trace the advance
in morals and religion away from
the hard and severe conditions of
the early colonists. It is replete
with instruction that cannot fail
to deeply interest every intelli
gent American , and which must
be considered essential to a finished edu
cation in this country. The work is
finely printed and bound , and ia
illustrated by 160 portraits of authors ,
twenty of which are steal. It should
have a place in every private , public
and school library , and indeed , no
library will hereafter be complete with
out it.

About nilloits People.
London Telegraph : Some people are
born bilious , and others have biliousness
thrust upon them through the enormous
amount of indigestible food-stuffs they
consume and the little exercise they
take to counteract the effects. Kemblo (
as wo learn from Archbishop Trench ,
used to protest against the consumption
of tea nnd coffee , declaring that they
had done more harm to mankind "even
than the doctrines of Helvetius. " Dr.
Richardson would , no doubt , not agree
with the celebrated actor's advice to
substitute Johatmisberg and beer for the
eastern leaf and berry ; yet temperance
advocates should not bo too sure that
their own favorite boveragCB do network
work injury to the constitution in some
way they know very little about. There
is less drunkenness nowadays than
formerly , when boor and spirits were
consumed more largely , but there is
more heart disease. The sale of tem
perance drinks has greatly increased ,
but so has all the tribe of ttarvous ail
ments. We find the learned lecturer
at the Royal Institution bearing his
testimony to the ill results which fol
low on any stimulation of the action of
the heart : "In proportion to the un
natural tax Inflicted was the reduction
of the storage of life , and every luxu
rious and fast mode of living was a
shortenor ot the natural term of exist
ence. " Tea and coffee , therefore , stand
at once condemned ; so docs tobacco ; to
does alcohol. At the same time , if wo
are never to have our heart-beats
quickened , wo are never to exert
ourselves , never to climb a hill ,
never to leave level ground ,
never run , never ride , never do
or say anything calculated to
make life in the least degree interest
ing or entertaining , or even useful. A
man at manual work has his heartbeats
quickened ; but then Dr. Richardson
would probably reply in that case , as
work and exercise are necessary , so
much stimulation of the heart is a nat
ural and not an unnatural tax on us. It
is. at all events , satisfactory to find that
biliousness has some compensating ad
vantages. Bilious people live long , wo
are told , for which they ought to bo
grateful , although there are occasions
on which those who are obliged to en
counter them in daily life feel that it
might be possible to spare them alto
gether. In fact , some bilious people
are a nuisance to themselves as
well as to all around them , and
would hardly welcome the prospect of
length of days as any advantage.
Others who are only moderately bilious
ought to thank Dr. Richardson for his
comforting disclosures. They may suf
fer much from bile and its attendant
train of furies ; they may bo morbidly
suspicious , ridiculously envious , horri
bly boorish , and dolorously sour-vis-
aged ; but they at least have the satis
faction of reflecting that they are prob
ably booked for good long innings of
oxibtence. The last word of science
seems , therefore , to bo "a long life and
a bilious one" which , taken as a motto ,
is not very hopeful : but then science
also knows that billiousness is one of
those demons that can bo pretty well
exorcised by proper diet.
"The Lamplighter. "
A tattered and thumb-marked copy of
Habbortou's "Helen' * Babies" lay Open
'
tu6 shelf of one of the largest s'ccond-
hand bookstores in New York , and sug
gested the question to a Sun reporter
whether it had not had a larger fale
than auy American work of fiction , ex
cepting "Uncle Tom's Cabin. " The
proprietor , who knows as much about
books as Joseph H. Choalc does of law ,
replied that while "Helen's Babies"
had been one of the most extraordinary
successes in the book trade , it did not
stand second to "Uncle Tom's Cabin. "
Then ho rumaged around on a dusty
fihelf , and took down n thick volume ,
whose colors had faded from original
black to a light drab color , and blowing
the dust from the leaves , said that ho
presumed that book had , next to
"Uncle Tom's Cabin , " the largest Bale
of any work of fiction by an American
author. Making out the faded letters
of the title , it was the "Lamplighter. "
The book is now almost unknown to
the younger generation of readers , but
thirty years ago it c-aiibcd countless
tears to llow. It would give Mr. Howells
the horrors to read it , and yet more
copies of it , throa or four times over ,
have been sold than all of Howells'
books put to othor. Over two hundred
editions of a thousand copies each were
sold , and there is even now more de
mand for It , mainly from persons who
road it years ago , nnd , remembering it
with delight , sought ii again. "Tho
Lamplighter" was written by a Boston
woman , and is u Boston talc. But ,
though iU succusn was so phenomenal ,
the author was for many years unknown ,
and even now hur name would bo un
recognized oven by persons of literary
habits if it were mentioned. It was a
single flavor of her talent'and though
it brought bomo money to her purse , it
never made for her the fame that Its
nuecesi ought to have glvon her. Roth-
is known of this author except that she
was a school teacher and had worked at
odd moments for several years upon the
story. Then it rcmainea in her desk
some time longer , and afterward mot
the fate of manuscript of unknown
authors ) in being promptly rejected by
several publishers.
Wife.
The Rutland ( Vt. ) Herald tells n story
of how , near the close of the last cen
tury , n physician , Frederick Aubory ,
living in the neighborhood of Burling
ton , left his wife nnd child to make a
visit to Germany. As he did not return
for some years and no tidings came from
him , his wifosupposiug him to be dead ,
was joined in marriage to Abel Castle ,
of Burlington. Not long after this mar
riage , very unexpectedly and unher
alded , the doctor came back. His wife ,
now married to another man , rcfuMd to
go back to him. saying "she had buried
him once and would not bury him
again. " Dr. Aubery then departed
resignation , but the writer to the
land Herald has just found the
for the doctor's yielding up hl
without complaint. Ho sayn : " ? l
