A committee was appointed to ascertain th club's Indebtedness and levy nn assessment fflidlck'nt to liquidate It , with In structions to at once collect the necessary amount. It was only 03 degrees In the shade yester day at 12 : 15 , but It was such a decided ehango from the Christmas weather of the past three months Unit it created a great boom in handkerchiefs - kerchiefs and sun umbrellas , A cool nnd re freshing breeze rendered the afternoon very comfortable. Blue gratis that is intended for .decorative purposes should bo cut now and dried In the Bhatle. As a largo amount of it will bo needed to aid in the agricultural display during the National Farmers' congress in this city this fall , it is urged that all persons who possibly can will cure a largo bnndlo of blue grass. Mr. Jesi-o Lock wood of Omaha and Miss Hello Lafl'erty of this cityj were united in nmrriigu Thursday evening by Hev. Dr. Phclps , at the residence of W. H. Hobinson , 121 Washington avenue. Tlio wedding was u quiet one , only the relatives and Immediate friends ot the contracting parties being present. Arrangements have been made for a band concert in Kali-mount every Sunday afternoon nnd on two evenings each week during the Biiininer , beginning next Sunday afternoon. The concerts will bo given by IJalby's band , which is olio of the finest organizations of the kind in the west. This is a move in the right direction , and these concerts will undoubtedly be enjoyed by thousands of people. The water works company is laying a six inrh main on avenue 1) , between Eighth and Fourteenth streets. They have a largo force of men at work. Several car lo.ids of ma terial , including mains and hydrants , have Just been received , and will bo laid as fast as possible on Lincoln and Pen-in avenues and other streets where ordered by the city council.

The parties who secure them and present the certificates to Mr. Cook will be credited with that amount as the first payment on n lot in the addition , with the balance on easy terms. " The concert by the McOibeny family at Dohany's last evening was a rare musical treat. This is undoubtedly ono of the great est musical families on the road , both as to numbers and ability. They render an ex cellent programmein an almost faultless manner. They will give two moro entertain ments hero today a matinee this afternoon und a concert this evening. They should be greeted on both occasions by crowded houses. The rock-faced brickwork on the new hotel is just beginning to niaku a showing. It is Homethiug now in the UlnlTs and from what can bo seen is making a favorable impression. The effect is novel and pleasing , and the pub lic verdict , so far as it has yet been expressed - pressed , is that the hotel will bo an oven handsomer building than was expected and that the reek-faced brick is much handsomer than plain or fancy rressod brick. The stouo work on the hotel and flats is about com pleted , and the walls are now rising above the second story. While the mercury is disporting itself on the top shelf it must not bo forgotten'that John Fralnoy Is still In Jail , and it should bo understood that ho wants to gut out , but the prospect Is not encouraging. Fralnoy has now been incarcerated since November 10 last nnd bo pines for freedom and fresh air. * He is not willing , however , to make the statements that are desired by the prosecution with rof- c'ronco to the long delayed settlement that Is yet unsettled , mid his yearning for n release from captivity is not receiving much atten tion from the oilier side. The second dog sulcldo at the county court house occurred yesterday afteinoon. A couple of gentlemen secured the janitor's keys to take a trip to the .ton of the building' to get u view of the city and a line water spaniel belonging to ono of them followed. The ani mal tried to cross the sicyllght over ono of the nrcus at the stdo of the rotunda , and fell through the glass. It was precipitated to the concrete floor of the basement , sixty-live feet below and Instantly killed. The first oo- cnrrenco of this kind was nearly a year ago , when a black and tan dog was the victim , al though tho. creature lived several hours before It was put out of its misery. Parties visiting the top of the tower should not bo { allowed to take dogs with them , as the animals are very liable to leave the walk as was the cuso yes terday.

Contrary to general expectation , work has been commenced on the proposed Nebraska Central brldgo yesterday afternoon. Ground has been broken about a third of a mile north of the brldgo of the Omaha & Council Bluffs ralluay and bridge company , nearly opposite the foot of Cuss street In Omaha. According to the terms on which the com pany was voted $250,000 of Omaha bonds , work had to bo com menced before Juno IS , 1810 * , and the brldgo completed by Juno Si , IK'.U , It Is given out that the work now being done is to prevent the forfeiture of the bonds , as the limit would expire tomorrow. How much work will bo done is not known.

Maloney & O'Hrlcn liuvo put In a stock of prohibited \vct goods , but they are in the little - tlo bottles which have just Jumped Into prominence all over the state as the only sat isfactory and effective way of evading the prohibitory law. It Is simply an evasion of the law , but It Is a lcg.il evasion , and all the perilous features that" have attended budge dispensing for several years. The enterprise Is now In the Iluffs ! and It Is not known what regulations or restrictions , If any , will be placed upon It. It Is a matter of conjecture whether or not the eitv will bo able to still collect Its monthly "lino" of $ 'M from the pro prietors for "running a disorderly house. " Inasmuch as the supreme court 1ms declared the business to bo legal , It Is held that there will be nothing disorderly about It , and that the money cannot therefore bo collected. Sev eral Of the saloon men who propose to go Into the business express n willingness to con tinue paying a line , while others mainUdn that their only object in making n change would bo to evade the payment of the amount that they have been accustomed to contribute monthly. The Indications are that the original package - ago business will become popular with the cx- saloonkecpcrs against whom injunctions are pending , as it will enable them to continue in business without becoming liable for con tempt and a line of 500 to $1,00" , but that those who have never been enjoined will con tinue to dispense booze over the bar in the old-fashioned way. The plan of selling Is to furnish the desired liquor in a bottle of any size required. The liquor is kept on ice. anil all the customer haste to do is to wait on himself. Ho must furnish his own corkscrew or pull the cork with a knife or with his teeth , but the proprietor of the establishment will furnish the necessary glasses , Ice water or whatever etceteras maybe bo required. To "open a package" bids fair to become very popular , but whether on ac count of Its novelty or to Its real or fancied improvement over the old way of ' 'sniilintt" is u matter that time alone will satisfactorily determine.

" Mnyoi 3Iacrae as Oxford's Strokc. | Mayor Muurao was talking yesterday about the move to get Jake Gaud.iur located in the Bluffs. "It would bo a great thing for botli the city and the lake , " ho declared. "It would give boating an impetus and would do a great deal to advertise the city. The op portunity should not bo allowed to slip by un improved. There ought not to bo the least dillictilty in raising the necessary amount. There are dozens of business men hero who would bo willing to pay ijl a month if neces sary to get Mr. Uamlaur here. There should bo no occasion for making any such demand , however , as the local club is willing to do its part and it only remains to no seen what Colonel Heed will do. The majority of people ple don't seem to understand of how much importance this matter is. The interest in the boat club has been allowed to flag , ' and it needs something of this kind to wake the boys up again. They need r. good coachcr. too , if they are coing Into any races. 1 wouldn't mind coaching them a bit myself , if 1 hud the time.

That fact alone gave mo moro notoriety dur ing the next six years than any other ono thing. Why , It wasn't very lomr ago that a man'camo up to mo at the drivingp.irkduring n race meeting and inquired if. my name wasn't Macrae. I told him It was. and ho said that I had not changed so much but that ho could recognize me. lie was ono of the old Cambridge crow that rowed against us , and ho had not seen mo since 1850. Ho remem bered mo as Oxford's stroke oar. I was al most brought up on the water. Wo always lived near the coast and I always spent liiy vacations near the Clyde. All of the boys there could row , and It seemed to come as natural to them as It does to a duck to swim. I will venture to say that there would have been no difficulty in picking up half a dozen seven-year-old boys who were not in the habit of rowing together , and they would get into a shell and beat the best crew there is in this boat club without any trouble whatever. They would all pull with the stroke , and I tell you they could row if they were only boys. I like to ECO a good race , and I hope our club will do something this year. They need Gaudaur and they ought by all means to have him. " The celebrated Colfax mineral water , plainer or caroonizcd at "Tlio Famous. " i .

Ho was returning from Omaha , and reached the corner of Avenue A and Twentieth street shortly before 11 o'clock. At that point a nan boarded the train to ride up town. The conductor called for his faro , but the passenger refused to pay. The train was stopped at Eighteenth street , and after a hard tussle the fellow was put off the train. As ho was Jerlted from the plat form ho tore loose ono of the bars that pro tects the end windows , und as soon as he reached the ground ho struck the conductor a heavy blow over the ncad with the weapon. The conductor and niotorman then tackled him again and hustled him Into the motor car to bring him along and turn him over tote to the police. The fellow remained quiet until the train reached Ninth street , when ho jumped through' ! ! window and escaped. How ho managed to get through the window ho quickly was n mystery to all the other passen gers , ills Identity is unknown. Ho is de scribed as being about five and a half feet Udl , and very heavy sot. Ho had dark hair and wore a moustache. If he Is apprehended ho will bo prosecuted for assault und battery.

Tlic Sorrows of u Creditor. Sonio tlmo ago a man named Henry Nelf- fert left Ute , In. , and came to Council Bluffs. It Is claimed that ho owed numerous bills at his old homo nn.l the merchants put these claims together into the hands of E. P. Doro thy , the leading general merchant of that place. He has been' endeavoring to collect the amount thus bunched , but has found that the way of the collector is rocky. Some months ago he learned of Neiffert's where abouts , and as there had been an Information filed In Ute charging Nelffert with obtaining goods under false pretenses , Mr. Dorothy was given constabulary power to servo the warrant. Ho came to Council Bluffs , found Nelffert , and instead of arresting him , made n settlement with him of these claims , taking ns security a chattel mortgage on a pair of mules. When the chattel mortgage had become past due an attachment was put In the hands of Council Bluffs officers and a search made for the an imals. It was a vain hunt for some time , but at last the mules were found and taken to AVeitlierbee's barn. Then it was claimed that Neiffert had given this chattel mortgage by reason of threats and while in duress , etc. . and that the mules in right belonged to A. F. Clattcrbuek , a brother-in-law of Neif fert's , to whom Neiffert had also given a chattel mortgage. A complaint was filed in a justice court hero and Clnttcrbuek , armed with a warrant , went to Ute to arrest Dor othy on a charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. Tills trip of Clatter- buck's caused a commotion in the little town of Utp , where the merchants were nil inter ested in Neiffert's financial proceedings. Mr. Dorothy is so prominent in Ute , and was so acting in the interests of his fellow sufferers , that there was much hot talk. Mr. Dorothy wisely concluded , however , not to offer any resistance to what ho deemed such an out rage , and quietly came to Council Bluffs with Clatlerbuclc. He arrived hero In the evening and immediately waived examination and fur nished * . " > OJ bonds , the bonds being promptly furnished by leading wholesale merchants hero with whom Mr. Dorothy had done busi ness for years. Ho took the train in an hour or two back homo , arriving in time to eat breakfast with his family. It is by no means pleasant for Mr. Dorothy to have bis name paraded before the public as being arrested on such a charge and the procedure arouses no little Indignation among those who arc con versant with the facts and who hold him in sucir high esteem.

Sliellenbergcr , cashier of the Bank of Bradahaw and receiver of funds for the Bradshaw sufferers , was in Lincoln today looking after the money contributed hero for his fellow townsmen. Mr. Shcllcn- bergcrgavo a receipts for 51,001 from the State Journal fund. In an interview ho said to Tun Bnn correspondent : "Only between $5,500 and -0,000 has been received In contributions yet. Thus far the citizens of York have supplied the Bradshaw people with provisions , and not u dollar re ceived lias been expended. It is the inten tion , since the subscriptions raised are so small , to use the money received only for the aid of the destitute. The business men of the city and other persons not lu abject poverty will have to rebuild their own.houses mid rustle for themselves. ' The day after the cyclone a largo force of carpenters went to Bradshaw and repaired free of cost seven houses left with standing walls. The repairs are only temporary and barely keep out the rain. In these makeshifts the scores of fam ilies left in the town are packed almost like sardines in a box. But little headway lias yet been made in rebuilding. "Tlio cities that have contributed most freely to the relief of the Bradshnw sufferers are Omaha , Lincoln , Hastings , Grand Island and York. It is probable that eaeli of these live cities will bo .asked to ehooso a member of an advisory committee to determine what distribution shall bo made of the funds re ceived.

The wind whipped her about fearfully , tearing even the shoes off her feet. Later it was discovered that she had received n terrible wound near the base of the skull and this has resulted in her los ing her mind. Mrs. J. P. Cook Is another victim of the cyclone who has gene insane. Her house was torn , to atoms and she and her husband badly injured. For the iKist few days she has been acting strangely , und yesterday it was dis covered that sh"b had become a maniac.

WANTS niu : HOMI : . Mrs. Ida E. Goodrich of Grand Island is endeavoring to secure her house und homo which her husband frightened her into deed ing to A. J. and Max H. Cushman. Mrs. Goodrich says the property was bought with her own money , but her husband threatened to kill hqr If nlio did not sign the paper deed ing it to A..T. Cushman. In order to more thor oughly intimidate her she says ho subjected her to it terrible course of cruel treatment , manifesting the greatest anger toward her and at different times beat her with his list and choked her almost to death. When the deed was presented for hersigmiture she was afraid to refuse to sign it. She says ttiat after she signed the deed her husband drove her off to Pennsylvania , and she remained there from Juno , IhSU , to September of the same year. Meanwhile ho wrote to her urg ing her to get it divorce. She refused to grant this request and returned to find her house occupied by strangers. She commenced suit to recover her property and asked the courts to enjoin her husband , Edward C. Goodrich , from Interfering with it. In the district court of Hall county she won the case and today her husband appealed the case to the supreme court. IlfltOLAllirS.
