A riitlnu Celebration of the Third
Anniversary i > r the Open-
IliK of tills I'ojiu-
Inr Hotel.
Mr. tinloli'n
The dining hall of the Harcr ! : hotel was H
bower of beauty latt night.
It was the third nnnlvorsary of the open
ing of the hotel , nnd the proprietor cele
brated the occasion with a banquet to the
Press club. In this hostelry , also , the Press
club was born , and the event was In a man
ner commemorative of that occasion , about
two years ago.
The tables were laid in T shape , nud .Man-
npor Halch did himself proud In their
decoration , Hyacinths , calla lllloa and
luxuriant foliage plants Hung to the ntmos-
phoro tlio Iragrnnco of the Juno-time. A
tasteful boutonnloro at each plate reminded
the occupant that ho wni nn honored guest.
The silver and ornamented glassware glit
tered and glowed under ths light of the
chandeliers iinil the ceiling rang with the
laughter nnd merriment of the assembled
KUORts. All ndown Iho long tables
winding hero nnd there nmong the beautiful
flowering plants was the trail of a delicate
green vine. It was a scone from fairyland
nnd the participants will not soon forgot the
impression produced when llrst ushered
Into the hall.
The menu card waa a work of art. On a
background of delicate pink and pale uluc
was tlio tlguru of n little , fat , winged cherub
bearing aloft on n plotter a hujro boar's head ,
and from this platter , trailing between the
words "Complimentary banquet to the Pr.'ss
club by F. A. Hutch , Hotel Barker , " in gold
lettering , were the slender nnd graceful
tendrils of a drooping vino. Ir.sido was a
list of delicacies to tempt the daintiest epi
cure , witli the toasts nnd the list of honored
guests , among whom were loading rcuro-
HCntatlves of all the professions and busi
nesses , lawyers , railroaders , capitalists ,
clergymen , politicians und the rest
'iho service was perfect , the tables
\fcro beautiful , tlio viands were da-
Hcioug , the ( lowers breathed sweet
incense upon the air and the guesto ,
each and all , felt that it was good
to bo there. The banquet tendered by Mr.
Halch nnd Iho Holol Barker to the press
club will live long In the memory of every
newspaper man present.
The service , In keeping with the other
features of the grand occosjon , was excel
lent. It was effected by a score of girls in
uniform uttiru. who served the courses in a
most acceptable manner. They were under
the immediate supervision of James lialch ,
to whom , indeed , may be accorded the credit
of suncrvising tlio spread , which , as may be
Hcen by rofet'onco to the menu , was a repro
duction of that of the Union league in Chicago
cage ou thoU of last month.
During ttio serving of the banquet the
Musical Union orchestra rendered a number
of its choicest select ions. In fact nothing was
wanting lo render the colouration n mumora
bio ono and the enjoyment of the guests most
complete.
At9UO the guests took their ttc.-.ts , the
chair nt tlio head being occupied by the
citeomed host , F. A. Halch. At the right

plished manner. After a few remarks of a
humorous nature , explanatory or the pur-
IIOHO of the gathering , ho proposed the toast
Oninlin , " nnd called upon Mayor K. C.
Curbing for a response. Tlio mayor apolo
gized for his neglect to prepare himself , nnd
in a most laughable manner alluded to the
principal papers of the city bv Incor
porating the mimes In n neat Jlguro of
Bpoech , Ho then referred lo the absurdity of
attempting to quote statistics to a collection
of gentlemen who were probably hotter
posted on tnose same statistics than ho himself -
self was , nnd closed by complimenting the
dally papers on tholr progress and activity.
Toastnmstor Kothacker then proposed the
toast "Mine Host , " und referred to the many
trials to which Landlord Batch had boon sub
jected In his experience with the newspaper
fraternity In a manner which brought forth
peals of laughter , Hon. John L. Webster
was called to respond to the snntlmunt , and
ho proceeded to speak of Mine Host Hulch In
n most complimentary manner as being a
inanof great energy nnd enterprise as shown
by his conduct of thu hotel , which had
been considered a wild venture three years
ago , but which had since proved the wisdom
nud foresight of its manager by becoming
onu.uf the principal Institutions in ttuit part
of the city.
At the conclusion of Mr , Webster's re
marks there wore loud calls for Landlord
Halch , to which ho at lust responded , stat
ing that ho had boon told several days ago
that he would be expected to malte a suoech
and ho had , therefore , prepared himself. Ho

"In the scramble for the funds to keep
oven with the butcher and grocer nnd land
lord I have not hud very mucn chuucu to cul
tivate any literary taste. Hut ut the aamo
time there is , away down In my heart , a desire -
sire , a disposition to always try to help , tu
encourage , to aid any Idea or Urn that
will help or improve mankind In general.
To nm it has seemed that the greatest lever
to move public opinion is the public press.
Hullovlng tills , I have ovnr , In my quiet , way ,
tried to encourage the efforts of press work
on , and I was glad whou an opportunity was
offered to lend nil the assistance 1 could in
the organization of thu Oiiiahu Press club.
1 think some of tlio most Interesting gatherIngs -
Ings of thu club were lioro in this hotel , and
It Is because I wlihod to encourage you and
Hive moro IIfo and dovoloumorit to the club
that I have gathered you hero tonight. I
have tried to bring before you loaders of
thought that tp to m ika our social gov
ernment , and white you are entertained I
expect you to get Instruction to help you to
do vour part to ulavate humanity ,
'As a liotoikoopor , whUo trying to prop
erly entertain my guust In sleeping nnd
eating , I probably come In contact with more
of the phases of humanity than a
person In any other occupation.
The mlnUUr only comes m direct
contact with a small element of society ;
the lawyer only a small ulouioat | the poli
tlcinn ft one-sided element. The newspaper
man moots more of these elements , while
tlio holelkoopor entertain * nnd mingles with
nil these olonionU nnd must ol necessity
have n more enlarged view of the wants of
society than the special enthusiast of the
diiTeront branches that make up our social
system , nud I nm phlluithroplcnl enough to
nsiort thnt If the ministers of the differ-
cnt "isms , " nftor tholr theological course ,
could put In ono year In the management
of an ordinary sized hotel. Thny would preach
In an entirely different strain to their con
gregations , nnd to tny mini } have moro In-
lluenco and better sueces * in moulding
opinion for the bettorlnirof inanklnd.
"In my three yours' experience In coming
In contact with the different types of society
I have formed n moro generous opinion of
mankind than formerly , nnd beilevo there Is
some lutont spark of ( 'odllness oven in the
most depraved , nnd It Is my religion to see
tno little good rather than proclaim the bad.
"H is my thought hero tonight that this
Press club , if so dUp.naJ , have It In tholr
power to organize nn offorl that would have
moro Influence In enlightening nnd Improv
ing the masses than any other body. Under
the auspices of this Pre- club , say next
fall , n scries of puolln gathering * might beheld
hold where the different representative men
of the clt.y could glvo an addre on their
idea ol Improving nnd helping
the masses , which would have
great weight with their hearers ,
Lot roProsentallvo nowsp.ipnr men have nn
evening , the merchant , the politician , tto
railroad nrin , tno school teacher , nnd not
least of nil the hotel man. Such efforts ,
made by public spirited men , would do n
great donl towards oponintr up the hearts of
these fnnutlcnl. Illiberal , solllsh people who
condemn every one who does not bollevo nnd
ihink as they do.
"J believe that , by proper effort n series of
weoUly meetings of the above character
could bo inaugurated which would bo at
tended by the public to Its ndvuntnge ,
nnd the 1'rcss club would bo nlso bonolltted
in thus starting n movement for the nU-
vnncumenl of society.
"On my next anniversary , If I nm fortu
nate enough to still bo host , I ho3 \ to hear
you report progress and I will do all m tny
power to nld you.
"If I nan say any moro , It is only to use
your inlluoneo for good for improving your
neighbor * . Try to see his good points ,
rather than his weak ones ; try lo dlscour.ico
that low public taste itiat wants 10 hear nil
the mean thing * paoplo do uud none of the
good.
"Tho millennium will bo pretty near nt
hand when paoplo never spunk 111 of each
other , or never got In debt.
"Gentlemen , if fortune should favor this
hotel enterprise you will have n chance to
hear further from mo In the future , as I iilro
to entertain mv friends and to help nnd ou-
courage my fellow man , nnd I ivjl very
very thankful for the , help and encourage
ment many olvou have shown mo. You can
count on moxraloyal to the Otnnha I'ross
club loyal lo tlio best interesls of Omaha. "
At the conclusion of Mr. Hatch's remarKs
the upptauso was almost deafening.
Mr. W. C ! . Gregory , president of the Press
club , was called on to respond to the toast ,
"Tho Proas Club. " Mr. Gregory guvn u
condensed account of the organization of the
club und said the success of the club had
been duo as much to Mr. Huloh's kind efforts
as to any other active or honorary member.
Ho thanked Mr. Halch for his suggestions
of a method of making the club influential
for good.
Kov. N. M. Mann was then called on to
respond to the sentiment , "Church and
State " His remarks were very timely nnd
well chosen und were warmly applauded.
Judge Shields responded to "Law , " prefacing -
facing his remarks by the announcement
that it was Ins maiden effort in Iho after-
dinner tine.
In announcing the next toast"Tho Press , ' '
Mr. Kothacker said it was one of tlio mosl
b. c beastly chestnuts particularly to
member : ! of tint press , that was known. And
yet , if Dr. Guorgo L. Miller , who
was down for the response , was present
it would prove n marked exception -beyond
u p.irticto of doubl. In Iho absence of Dr.
Milter , Ino tor.stmuktor said tie would call
upon his ( Dr. Miller's ) od ) managing editor ,
Mr.-Fran It K. Morrisaay. The substitute
began by paying : i tribute to the gentleman
whom ho represented , and then drew forlh
divers pages ot rhyme rotative to uowspa-
pcring , which ho succeeded in ma king his
humble nud charitably dispossd auditors lis
ten to. It was good.
Mr. Homer f.owis , who was down to respond
spend 10 "Education , " was absent , nnd Mr.
Kottmckor said that his . substitute , Major
Howard , him studied education so long that
he had forgotten all about it.
"Finance" brought out very few words
nnd no reul response from Mr. .Joseph Mar-
tier , us thu gentleman uaidchls wife , ho was
sure , already becoming too anxious about
him.
him.Mr.
Mr. B. C. Snyder spoke on "The Drama , "
und closed with a bright peroration which
won for him nnd Ills subject a strong round
of applause.
Mr. Julus LombirJ talked of the railroads
from the text , "I will light it out on this
line , if it drives every railroad out of the
stale Attorney General Loose , " as per pro
gramme.
Mr. Komingtou , though not down on the
toast card , was inlroduced us nn old news
paper man and gnvo a short but excellent
little talk.
The evening closed by Mr. 1C. A. O'Brien
propsolng a rousing vote of thank. ? of the
press club to Mr. Hnluh for tlio suberb af
fair , and the proposition being heartily com
plied with , "Auld Lang Syuo , " led by Mr.
Lombard , was then sung.

The protection of the horse's fore feet

Globc-Domocrul. A horse weighing
1,000 poumlB , anil goinjr at a : ! : ! ! 0 gait ,
strikes a ton with each fore foot when
ho puts it down. If this figure is uor-
roet it doesn't talco a practical hor&omnn
to see the folly ot driving good stoolc on

A shoe has recently been dovused that

coiibists of n rubber oval bund a quarter
of an iiusli thick , terminating at the
ends in a heavy cork or a cushion. The
general shape in that of a horseshoe ,
the rubber cushions representing the
heel-corks. An iron-plate shoo gees
with this , and the heel ends are short
ened to glvo room for the rubber corks.
The rubber ahoo goes against the loot ,
and is nailed on with the iron thee , the
whole forming an iron-pinto shoo with
rubber heel-corks. Tlio Invention is
destined to take the place of all other
plate shoes for roadsters , especially as
it is a cheaper shoe than ono with metal

Yosterdny tlio nrgurnonts bc an In the
case of Kov , Mr. llolmlck , charged with the
killing of Paltnor. County Attorney Organ
opened with a mlld-tomocrod address , deliv
ered In a conversational manner. Ho re
viewed the testimony olonrly and sought to
cstaullMi more flrtnly the claim of the prosecution -
cution , that Hnlmlclc was not justiilcd in
shooting Palmer. Ho cli..mod that Holmlck
must have recognized Palmer , oven In the
darkness , and that Hulnilcic shot because ut
the Ill-feeling botwRon Him and Palmer , and
not bccausa ho was In peril , or was afraitl of
his 11 fo. Ha Insisted that mur.h had boon
dragged Into the case , on the part of the do-
fenao. for the purpose of drawing away the
nttunllon of the Jury from thoroul Issue.
Attorney Sims tnudo nu earnest , strong
argument for-ilis defense. Ho picked up
the claim of the county attorney that
HclmlcK recognized Pulmor. If this was
the case , ho urged , there was that much
moro reason for Helmlck to Bhoot. Palmer
had been long threatening Holmlclr , and
hero ho was at the head of a gang of follows ,
In possession of Helmlok's own barn , at dead
of nlifht. and actually beginning an assault
upon'him. In this vlow of the caio Hnlmlok
was fully Justiilcd In shooting. Mr.- aims
then proceuded to Ulio the ottior view , tlio
theory hold by the Uofcnso , that Ilolmiclc
did not know who the men were that were
thus attacking him. Mr. Sims was not only
logical and clear in'hls statements , but was
al times impassioned n'ld eloquent , The ad
dress was masterly In many respects.
Attorney McCabe followed for tno dofcnso.
Ho was listened to with intense Interest.
Ho has a way of calling things by what ho
dooms to bo tlielr right names , is very sharp
and vlnngary , and thus makes it Interesting
for the crowd. The testimony was reviewed
by him in detail , and tha task was not com
pleted when the hour for the day's adjourn
ment was reached. Today will see the case
go to the jury.

TinFiMtornt Court.
Tno March term of the United States
court for the southern distnot of Iowa will
open on the 21st nisi. Justice Miller of the
United States supreme court has issuea an
order for JuJco Shiras of the northern Iowa
district to attend this term , and ho will bo
hero to assist Judge Love. There is consid
erable business ) to be transacted ut this term
of court , as there are a dozen important
cases on tlio trial doeltcU Among them ata
the ITairmount park case , the damage suit of
IJorgman vs the \Vabash railway company ,
and tie cattle case of Kissem vs Tinkan &
Hall The Bergman case was tried at the
last term of court , but a now taiul was
granted. This cuso will occupy several days.
Tha cattle case comes from Harrison county ,
and originated from a cattle drive which re
sulted in the spreading ot Texas f over among
herds in Harrison county.
There are about twenty cases to go before
the grand jury , and a few parties now
under Indictment will bo called before the
court.
United States Marshal David IJ. Millar of
Hcd Oak catno in last evening to prepare for
the opening of the term.
It is regarded as very doubtful whether
or not the Fairmount park case will really
bo tried this term. Uoth parties profess to
bo in readiness , but it is generally believed
that another continuance will not bo dis
tasteful to cither of them.
ISIeunnt IJcooratlnir.
Glllotte & Freeman , the practical decorators
raters , arc doing some artistic work nt the
now residence of Dr. M. H. Chamberlain , on
Hluff Blroot , that will secure thorn a great
deal of well earned praise. Tlio work is
something entirely new , and this is the Drat
over done in residences In this * city. The
doctor's new cottageis just receiving the
Mulshing touches , and ttie decorators are fol
lowing closely behind the plasterers. The
decorating alluded to consists of tinting the
walls in ul ceiling insto-id of frescoing or
papering. Each room has a combination of
tints , eacli complementary to the others , and
nil blending into u mellow richness that has
n very pleasing and artistic effect which will
never tire the beholder. One of tlio pleasing
.effects is to soften and mellow the light
without absorbing it.
Tlio vestibule ami hall is a combination of
tn M . 'ottna mill Mpnnnrna thr > vlaitnttnr * thn
surprise * of the interior. Tlio colling of the
uarlor Is a soft cream , the cove n light seal
brown and the walls a rose tint. The trim
mings nro gold mouldings. The back parlor
Is a combination of butTs and browns , and
UiApnrlor bedroom blue mid terra coitus.
Tliwtting room is a beautiful combination
of Djjk'UB. The decorations in the dining
room are a better proventntivo ol dyspepsia
than a French chef. The coiling is a faint
blue with grey cove and ecru walls. Tno
bathroom Is atone color and the kitchen bed
room is stone color and buff.
The only ornamentation ou the walls and
callings are carved mouldings , and thoclfcct
is striking ! } rich and beautiful ,
The same general style is followed In tlio
upper rooms , but all the combinations are
different tinta , In the south room the com
binations are cream color and old pink , the
north room cream and tan and the west room
cream mid light shade of dull bluo. The
hall ID light brown walls with pale buff cell

The tinting Is done on the plaster and
highly llniRbcd. There are no pronounced
colors , but everything Is soft , mellow and
rich , and characteristic of the line artists
who designed and executed the work , and
will convince the public that while Messrs.
Gillette & Freeman have the finest line of
wall papers In the west to select from at
their establishment , nt 23 Pearl street , yet
they nro independent of the paper maker ,

A Motor ColllHlon.
A collision between two motor trains oc
curred on the single track on the cast
approach to the bridge. A west bound train
In charge of Conductor Purccll and Motorman -
man Urugg ran by the mooting point , and in
the dense fog collided with an east bound
train In charge ol Conductor Grady and
Motorman Gannon , According to the rules ,
east bound trains have the right away on
this strip of track. The collision was quite
disastrous. The platforms of the motors
wore broken and several windows smashed ,
Fortunutoly none of thn passengers were
injured. Travel was delayed a very short
time. Superintendent Reynolds states that
the damage will not amount to moro than f 50.
No action has as yet boon taken In the matter ,

It lllnuc.s On n Quorum.
The school board tnado another ineffectual
attempt to secure a quorum last evening.
Only two of the members , Messrs. Hunter
and Hlaxsim , were present. Mr. Lruvsou.
would gladly have been there , but the result
of Monday's election was too much for him ,
and Mr. Blnxsim said that ho was "sick. "
Ho undoubtedly is , but his sickness Is not of
a dangerous kind. It seems that consider
able scheming Is going on among the mem
bers 'of the board. Messrs. Stewart ,
Schocntgcn nnd Kain arc anxious to post
pone taking any action with reference to
selecting u site , adopting plans , and award
ing the contract for the new school building
in the western part of the city until
after the now members take their seats.
On the other hand , Messrs. Hunter , Lawson -
son nnd Blaxsim nro apparently very anx
ious to rush this matter through nt once.
Just why they nro so desirous of pushing it
through before the now members couio In is
to bo conjectured. It certainly would seem
that inasmuch us the now building is to be
erected under the supervision of the now
board , it would bo no moro than courteous
and right to allow them to have something
to say about it. To say the least , there is
something very mysterious in all this undue
haste. However , there Is no disposition ou
the part of the other members of the board
to allow this scheme to bo pushed through ,
whatever may be Its object , and this ac
counts for the failure to secure a quorum.
It may bo set down ns'n settled fact that the
present board will not lind an opportunity to
nward the contracts which Eomo of the mem
bers are so eager to getiout of the way.
An attempt , will undoubtedly bo mudo
every evening this week to secure a quorum ,
but whether or not it will bo successful is
yet to bo determined. * Mr. Hunter is very
much out of patience 'over the way things
are going , and declared last evening that if
the other fellows kopron in this way they
might bo disappointed next Monday evening ,
when they want to got a quorum for the pur
pose of canvassing th'o vote. This , however -
over , does not cause , .the "other fellows"
much uneasiness , and they are perfectly
sutisllcd with the outlook.

llin New Union Depot.
The stockholders of the union depot co m-
pany will meet at the court house this oven-
ing' for the purpose of arranging to turn over
the depot site to the railroad companies. At
the meeting with the railroad ofllciuls in
Omaha three propositions were submitted ,
and tlio ono adopted provides that the site
shall bo transferred to the railroads ut ac
tual cost , including condemnation and re
cording fees. 'Iho Northwestern and Mil
waukee roads were not represented , but the
former road announced its readiness to go
into tbo scheme nt n previous meeting and it
was stated that the Milwouife was now
ready to go in with the other roadt. .
The members of the executive committee of
the Union depot company are quite jubilant
over the outlook und nro positive that the
depot will now bo-built. The roads have
agreed to begin work on the structure within
ninety days after certalu minor conditions
uro complied with. Everything looits hope
ful , und the only loophole now left is that
none of the agreements are to bo binding if
Cither of the unreprosuntep companies shall
refuse to join In and ratify what has thus far
been done.

Denmark has organized u now system
of state butter s.hows. The schoino in
cludes ti continuous butter show at iho
expense of the state during several
months in each year , where fresh sam
ples of butter will bo received every
fourteen days , the judges' decision to
bo given on the butter as received and
its condition at the end of tuurteon days.
The samples are to bo sent immediately
on the receipt of a letter or telegram ,
so that the dairyman will not be able
to make a special cask for exhibition ,
and tlio samples are to be repeated as
often as required. Competing dairies
must honil in a return of the feeding and
system generally followed on the farm ,
with special reference to the week dur
ing which the samples are sent in. At
present the number of dairies entered
is IiO. ! ( Nine judges have been selected
and these act in groups of three each ,
each group recording an independent
opinion on each sample , which is
cheeked bv those of the other two
groups. Kuch group will cotHtat of two
butter merchants and one dairy expert.
The exhibitors are paid the usual mar
ket rate for their exhibits. The shows
will be hold al intervals of a fortnight
during eight months of the year.
Ono Causeof Agricultural Depression
There are no more free lands lit for
general agriculture. In Juno. 1880 ,
the government still had 17,800,000
acres of arable hind , writes Prof , .James
Willis Glood in the March Forum. In
.Tune , 188 ; ! , only 0,000.000 acres re
mained ; and this bus long since be
come private property. It is clear that ,
in a general way , land lit for agricul
ture can no longer bo bad from the general -
oral government. It , , s-uems to the
writer that the prostration of the farm
ing industrly , and the. low price of
the older farm landh everywhere in the
United St ton , are purtly duo to the
fact that they have boon competing , in
a souse , with the practically free ara
ble lands of the public domain. This
competition has now ceased , and it ap
pears reasonable to anticipate u sub
stantial rise in the value of agricultural
lands everywhere , and especially in
the western states. This will bo ono
substantial protection to western farm
loans , whether they were wisely or
unwisely maiio in the first instance.
