One of the gambling houses opened
up again lust evening on the second
floor , and did a good business with
these who had n Up. There waa no in
terference by the police , and the sports
rejoiced accordingly.
Mr. and Mrn. II. .1. Bublit/ were ten
dered a very pleasant surprise by a
number of Omaha friends lastThur&day
evening at their residence , 4117 South
Kirst btruet , on the occasion of the
fourth nnnivor-ary of their marringp.
All kinds of games wore indulged in
and Koine excellent music waa furnished
by Mibs Minnie Mussor. A very pleas
ant evening was spent by all.
The attendance at the temperance
meetings held at the Broadway M. K.
church during ( bo past week , has in
creased so rupidly that the church has
proved too small to accommodate it ,
and the opera house has been secured
for the meeting to-morrow evening.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the hoiifeo will lo ) crowded. A cordi.vl
invitation is extended to all to bo pres
ent and hear the successful temperance
missionary , James M , Dunn.
Olllcer Tyson and his gang of vagrants
are doinu good work on the streets.
Mayor llohror's experiment in this ro-
.spcct is working finely , and ho has
practically demonstrated to the croak
ers the error of their po.iition in main
taining that it was a costly experiment
to try to work the vags. The only addi
tional expense is the ollicor's pay , and
the work done exceeds that several
times over. At the proont rate of im
provement the streets will soon be in
line condition , and the spring rains will
not transform them into seas of mud.
Ilolleubeck Bros , lias begun work
moving the Marcus building from its
present position on Broadway to the
north side of Indian creek. The build
ing lias been purchased by Dan Carrigg ,
who will lease it as a carpenter shop
after it is moved to its new location ,
about one hundred and fifty feet north
of whore it now stands. It will bo re
placed by n handsome brick structure ,
, ' { 3x100 feet. It has not yet boon decided
whether the now building will be two
or three stories high. This question
will bo determined Monday , when the
plans will bo drawn. Work will bo com
menced on the foundation as soon as the
old building is out of the way.

The Murdered Man's Lifts.
Klmer Do Good , a brother of the vic
tim of Brooks , arrived in the city yes
terday to take the remains of the un
fortunate man back to lite homo hi
Montrose , Date. Ho wnsscen by a BI-K :
reporter , and from him was gleaned
something of the past history of the
dead man. lie was twenty-live years of
ago , and lived at Sioux Falls three
years , working in a livery stable. Ho
was a quiet , inolTonsive uiti/.un , but
would not bo imposed upon. He became
addicted to drink , and had periodical
sprees about every six weeks. While
on one of those drunks , ho , in company
with throe othor.s , eriminnllv ass'iultod
a twelvo-year-old girland the quartette
was given three hours in which to got
out of town. Ho wont to Sioux City ,
where ho stayed a year , thence coining
to Omaha , wiioro ho had lived for the
past year.
The brother , who is a farmer at
Montrose , said that lie know nothing of
the Melville woman , and denied that
the dead man was ever married.
He stated that two brothers , "William
and Arthur , wore at Washington ,
whore they wont toattondthe inaugura
tion , and would bo homo this evening.
The deceased leaves n mother , four
bj-othors und one sister , all Ihingat
either Moptrosu or Sioux Falls. The
sneaker was visibly affected when shown
the remains of his murdered brother ,
whom ho had not seen for two years ,
lie stated that ho would do all in his
power to assist in the prosecution of the
murderer , although his means were
limited , and ho would not bo nblo to
pay an assistant attorney.
Mr. Ue Good left last ovoiilngover
the Northwestern with the remains.
The funeral will probably bo held Sun
day at Montrose.

The Woman In tlic Cnso.
Certain of the police ollicinls are fool
ing quite sore over their inability to
unprehcnd the woman Ida. Melville ,
who is wanted us a witness at the
Brooks murder trial , notwithatanding
the fact that she was openly passing
along the streets in the business part
of the city on the day after the murder.
They state that the woman left this
city on the night of the murder , and
has since been in South Omaha , not
darintr to show herself on this side of
the river. As has boon previously
stated in these columns , she was seen
by a representative of this paper at the
place where she has made her homo for
the past year and a half in this city , at
about 2 : : > 0 o'clock on the afternoon fol
lowing the murdor. These astute de
tectives denounce the reported inter
view as a "fake , " It seems that the
only reason why the woman was not
apprehended was that a few members
of the force dc.sired to gain a little no
toriety , and kept to themselves the fact
that she was wanted , hoping to locate
her and securn the rather questionable
credit.
Said a policeman yesterday , "I saw
the woman myself at Jessie Williams'
place , about ; ! o'clock on the day after
the murder , but I didn't know she was
wanted , or 1 could have easily arrested
her. I didn't hoar anything about it
until the next morning , and then she
was gone. "
The story of the great efforts made to
liud the woman Tuesday i.ight sounds
vorv well to those who know nothing
about the case , but is quite amusing , to
s-ay the least , to those who are conver
sant with the facts.

Happy in tlirj Miller.
Mr. 14. P. Gilbert , of Carthage , Dak. ,
arrived in the eity Thursday evening ,
and is negotiating with the board of
trade regarding the establishment of an
oat and cornmcal mill in the western
part of the city. Mr. Gilbert is a prac
tical miller , and sees an opening hereto
to build up an extensive and lucrative
business. His plan is to organize a
stock company and put in a $20,000
plant. A splendid market would bo
found right hero at home , as the two
cities of Omaha and Council BluiTs consume -
sumo annually a vast amount of both
oat and cornmeal. Something definite
will he known regarding the matter in
a few days.

There Is fun ahead among the sportIng -
Ing fraternity. Dan Carrigg recently
stopped out from the democratic ranks
and began to pay on" bomo old political
scores. Alderman Pat Lucy was one of
his targets. Ju t preceding the recent
election the ollhsial order wont forth
that there must bo a reform. The
gambling Louses mustcloso. Strangely
enough Carrigg's house was the only
one which was found to bo unwarned.
Ho is the only one against whom a onso
has been brought. This lias made the
move so evidently a political one as to
bring forth no little criticism.
Carrigg has now a fresh grievance ,
and it Is brought out us additional proof
that ho IH being pinched as a punish
ment for his political opposition to the
democratic circle. . A combination is
sum to have been formed bo that gamb
ling nouses may run up-stntrs , but none
are to bo allowed on the flfbt floor. All
the ether
establishments
ex
cept Cnrrigg'd have an upper
chamber , to which the tables can
readily be moved. Carrigg's building
is only one-story , and ho must move or
remain closed.
It is ul > o Intimated that ho will bo
kept .shut . anyway , Ho threatens to
rum , otllors ! ' ° allowed to run.
The work of preparing the upper
chambers has commenced , The first

watched for with some ougornobs , The
mayor liu * declared that 'he closed the
gambling houses for good , nnd not for
political effect on the election. If thoj
re-open upstairs , there will bo mimer
ous inquiries of "whore's the mayor ? '

United In Death.
One week ago this morning there np-
ncarod In these columns n notice of the
death of Mrs. Andrew D.ivy , of Mincola ,
who had tiled after a short Illness a1
the age of sixty-one years. This mirn-
Ing a very similar notice must uppiur.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
husband , Andrew Davy , pissed away at
the homo from which , i5no week ago ,
the wife was taken. The deceased was
In his si-cty-slxth year , and had been 111
with lung fever but a few days.
The loss of his wife prayed heavily
upon his mind , and ho was anxious for
the reunion. The remains of the wife
wore brought to this city last Sunday
over the Wabaih , and the funeral took
place from St. Frani'is Xavior's church
at 12:30 : o'clock. To-morrow noon the
remains of the huslnnd will arrive at
the transfer , and the funeral will t'iko
nlaco from the tame church at the same

"How much are my taxes ? "
"If I nay half now when will I have
'
to pay the'othor half ? "
These and like queries make life a
burden for County Treasurer Plumer.
"It's " ho "how
mighty strange , says ,
few there are who understand the pres
ent law. Even you newspaper fellows ,
who are supposo'd to know everything ,
don't seem to understand it.1
The suggestion was gently made that
tlio class were not bothered with any
great amount of property to pay taxes
on , or pay taxes \yith , but he broke out
again with :
"That s all right , but you ought to
post your readers. '
Aain { it was suggested that the ad
vertising columns wore open for such
ollicial notices as he desired.
"Oilleial notices ? The law distinctly
shuts that out. It says no notice is nec
essary. Every property owner must
look out for himself , and post himself.
Hero's the law : It says that taxes are
to bo paid between the first Monday in
January and the first day of March.
You niay pay one-half before the first
day of April and the other half before
thr first day of Septomoor. If one-half
is not paid by the first day of April the
whole amount becomes delinquent from
the 1st of March , and if the second in
stallment is not paid before the 1st of
October the penalty is computed from
the 1st of September. "
Taxpayers will do well to clip this and
paste it in their pocketbook.

The sale of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is becoming immense. The se
cret of it is that the preparation re
ceives a great deal of free advertising
from people who use it and find it so
much superior to anything else of the
kind that they have ever used , that
they persuade their friends and neigh
bors to try it. It is certainly a sure
cure for colds and croup and a prepara
tion fully worth the popularity it en
joys. Forr.ale by all druggists.
