Society IIM boon moving ou runners to tno
accompaniment of sleigh belli the past week.
The lethargy Into vlilch the social world has
fallen slnco tbo holidays was temporarily
thrown off nnd the flno elolghing has boon
taken advantage of by the belles and beaux
ot the fashionable world.
. The nights have been Uiodo musical with
the Jingle of all sorts and conditions of bells ,
while tin horns , trumpoU and kazoos have
sot tbo wild echoes flying along tbo bluffs
nnd ever tha pralrlo as merry parties of
golden youth gnvo vent to tholr pent up en
thusiasm ever the coming of the snow.
To many ot the older people wbo were
called upon to chnporono.lhu youngsters tbo
slo'Eh Hues were reminiscent ot joyous
occasions when still "down on the frrm1
J nd the pranks played on tbo girls , the upsetting -
, setting of sleds In a&ow drifts to the con-
jjtcrnntlorj of the females , wore all recalled
by those wno live In tbo past , ns ago usually
does.
Every manner of vehicle bni boon turned
into n temporary sled , and for the past week
Omaha has boou a city on runners ,
nl though the sucrgOiitod pace Is
] uat a bit too last to apply to
tbo doings of society , for outside of two or
thrco ovcnts and the sleighing parties , the
' week hns been exceedingly quiet , very sug
gestive of whut it will bo when Lent puts in
an appearance. But that Is another story.
The loan year boll \vas productive of lots
of fun and heap of talk. Everybody wbo was
there has some wild aud weird tale to toll of
"tho night nnd its pleasures , but the "on dlt"
Jthat a bashful bud offered hand nnd heart to
ft thorough-going man noout town must betaken
taken with a grain of allowance. She must
bo an undnuntablo young person , for it U
qulto well known that bo
"Nover In his llfo
Wus In love wltli n woman
Who was not a wlfo. "
The denouement remains sub rosa nt pres
ent.
i There will bo a marriage in the autumn
that will leave in the ranks of Omaba'8
young bachelors a aad vacancy. She is rarely
jorotty and much admired.
* *
. Tun BEE'S "homo lidustry' ' agitation baa
nad its' ofTact on fasbionablo women. A
handsome nud well dressed girl ( though In
eorabro hue ) was heard to remark n few days
ngo that in future she intended patronizing
Omaha stores and Omaha modistes , wbo not
only suited her as well astotbors but loft her
ivlth a better conscience rind sometimes moro
plethoric purse. Then , too , she Is on heiress
with n pot of inonoy In her own right nnd
yell able to indulge whims and vagarios.
. It is also 'Quito well known that the
uandsomcst 'dress nt tbo leap year party ,
V Ivorn by a charming and very popular mar-
\Tiod woman , who has nn ear for nil the girls'
. > > cqrots In the city , was made by an Omaha
jnodisto and the material bo'ugbt hi on
Omaha store.
Apropos of all this the cry of bard times
Bounds on nil sides , and the woman who said
jthut sbo would welcome Lent when EIO
could don sack clotn utid convert her Old
Slothes into ashes , voiced the sentiments of
the majority.

next competition Is proposed to bo hold In
Omaha some tlmo in Junc.
(
Several woo s ngo a mooting of various
committees of the different trade nnd busU
ness organizations was hold , nnd ox-Alnyor
Broatch was elected president ot the joint
committees , but now Mr. Broatch says his
private business interests compel him to
resign in favor of some one else who can devote -
vote moro time to 11.
'iho competitive drill will bo between nil
the military companies of the United States.
Through the efforts of Messrs. Alulford and
Aitchlson of th < j Omaha guards the encamp
ment was secured for Omaha last year at the
national encampment hold at Indianapolis.
Thirty thousand dollars as a guarantee
fund for prizes to bo offered to the visiting
aud competing companies , as well ns to coyer
tbo preliminary expanses , is" wanted by these
interested in the scheme , Captain Alulford
of the Omaha guards thinks that not a dollar
will oomo out of the pockets of tbo business
men who guarantee tiio fund. Ho believes
that the gate receipts , the erand stand foes
nnd the ground privileges will moro than reImburse -
Imburso tuo parties furnishing the guar
antee fund.
( More .Mjittrr of .Money.
At a committee mooting hold yesterday
afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms , ho
sold It would bo a shnnio for the cltl/ons of
Omaha to let tbo drill go by default after the
National association hud given It to this city.
In order to Induce the military companies
froin the far east and the south to come hoio
the city would have to ollernt least WO.OOO In
prizes. The other $10,000 would hnvo to bo
guaranteed for expenses In making arrange
ments , for advertising , procuring touts ,
grounds-ancl the like.
Captain Alulford nUo prsscnted n state
ment of the leccipts nnd expenditures for the
Indianapolis encampment. It showed the re
ceipts to bo $10,000 nnd the expenses $ fa,000 ,
leaving n balance or profit of $ . ' ,700. Ho
makes & .comparative estimate for the en-
campmontfor Omaha. The way he figures
It the receipts , including the gate toll , the
ground .privileges , tuer grand stand receipts ,
will bo fil.BOO. The expenses , including
$20,000 in prices , nnd otjior expenses , will bo
$27,000 , leaving n profit of $5,50(1. (
As the mooting was not largely attended it
'
was decided to 'adjourn until 7:15u : oclock
Wednesday night , when It Is oxpcctod that
n largo attendance will bo had to glvo ex

by-Mr ; Broatch , giving n shoit tifstory of
the -wore that the order had. accomplished in

Th9 address of.welcome should have boon
delivered by AInyor Bemls , but on account of

evening devolved upon J. W. Carr.
Air. Kinloy stated that it was always a
pleasure for htm to moot and talk to a body
oforkmon. . The fact of his mooting
Workmen always suggested that ho was
thrown lu contact witL thinking men men
who were ready and willinjr to contribute to
the support of widows and oiphans. The
Workmen had accomplished a great deal.
They had built up the strongest .fratornul
organization In the United States , and each
hour In the day and each day In the year
were paying our , 81,000 to tbo widows nnd
orphans. The Workmen wore engaged In a
calling that commanded the respect of nil
and tuo admiration of every nation on tbo
globe. The system was simple mid consisted
simply of keeping the ranks filled with good
men.
Air. Klnloy extended an Invitation to tbo

to pave the way to n nomination. I will not
say now that I will not bo n candidate , bo-
cmiso complications may arise which would
make It satisfactory to n largo number of the
republicans of the Fifth district to see mo

OMUM , Jan. ID. To tbo Editor of TIIK
BCE : Not long ago' the writer noticed n
newspaper article suggesting a certain num
ber of days hard labor as n punishment for
drunkenness nnd a probable euro. It seems
evident that the author of that article had
watched drunkenness from the lop of the
bill , and had nov'or witnessed tbo struggle
with the evil ono which some men ex
perience. There Is no room for doubt that
the vice becomes moral slavery , or as Dr.
Kooloy treats It a disease , neither Is tboro
any doubt as to the chains being voluntarily
forged In the beginning , or the disease being
carelessly contracted. As long ns men of
otherwise blameless character offer the
"social glass" und nro soon to enter saloons ,
Just so long weaker men will drag them
selves aud the innocent members of their
families downward to all the torments
of n drunkard's homo. However ,
this article was commenced simply to offer
another suggestion ns to the best way for
this city to battle with the curao of nations.
To my mind tboro would bo n kind of pootio
Justice in appropriating the Income derived
from saloon taxation nnd establishing
"scholarships for tbo Keelov academy , " If.
a man does not wish to bo cured then con-
dotnu him to hard labor until ho can make a
rational choice ho oueht not to bo free to
become a dangerous "citlron * . Undoubtedly
tno city ( others would ho surprised at the
number of victims eager aud willing to bo
cured of the Insnno craving for liquor.
It has boon i said that business men nro
taking an Interest In the Kooloy euro because
there is "mouoy In It. ) ' 'How much nobler ,
grander would It bo for the state to tnko i
deeper Interest because there Is huinnnttv lu
IU The Emperor William with Dr , KooloyN
help would soon hnvo Gonnnnv the .labor
naUonof the world , why should not our Httlo
city of Omaha do something for thociuuol
While our women nro busy nldlnif the suffer
Ing families of di Inking men , lot us see thcli
husbands nnd sons nnd brothers helping the
weaker ones to recover tholr moral strength ,
'loo many mon think they hnvo bought free
dom from moral responsibility by handing
ever generous checks to tholr'wives for tin
relief of the poor , forgetting that the bonl
help n poor slrugglluR wlfo could have
would bo n husband restored to sobriety.
Another painful fnct Is burned Into the soul
of ovcry thoughtful mother In this city ,
which this suggestion readies , nnd that Is
that the wngcs of vlco nnd sin nro used to
educate nor child , How much purer , nobler ,
moro In harmony with the eternal litiu'ss of
things would our city government bonho/uld
the voters of Omaha demand that the nivonuo
from saloon llccnsu bo used to restore drunk-
nrdH. nnd that most nhnnioloss license of nil
bo given to the support of "Tho Kosouo. "
