In the house of roprosontntlvos by Congress
man Bowman some months ngo making
Council Bluffs n port of entry , had passed
the semite nt the morning session , and all
now necessary Is the slgiuui.ro of the presi
dent to male ; it a law. The pleasure was
mostly felt by tbo heavy Importers , as they
nro the ones who will prollt mostly by the
innovation , at least for some tlmo lii the fu
ture. W. A. Mauer llrst conceived the idea
nearly two years ago that Council Bluffs
hhotild have a custom house , and over slnco
that tlmo ho hns econ working with that end
In view. Under the present system all Im
ported goods have to pass through the hands
of the inspectors in Omaha , New York , Now
Orleans , or some other port of entry , nnd
Oiiuiha has had the larger part of the trade.
A few days ago a car load of hpplo seed
came over the Northwestern from the east
and hud to bo taken to Omaha to bo In
spected , brought buck to this city and de
livered to the consignee , thus paying two
bridge tolls before the goods was ready for
Kulo. Many other Instances might bo cited
to show the inconvonlonco that Is caused by
the lack of custom house facilities hero.
It Is not expected that the oftlco of govern
ment Inspector will bo a very ( at one at
present , but It will bo a great convenience to
the public and before many years have rolled
by Is likely to prove a good thing to the man
Ihnt holds it.

On August I , ISUI , the Hoard ot Public
Worlts lot the contract for griming Fourth
avcuuo from Bancroft street to the south
line of Grandvisw addition. Cash Brothers
were the lowest bidders and secured the work
at 110-10 cents per cubic yard.
At tbo time of the letting of tbo contract
ex-Clty"Engineer Tillsoa estimated that the
grading would necessitate the removal of
a,700 cubic yards of earth. The
contractors wont on with their
work and on February lli. 181)3 ) the final
ostimalo , amounting to $0,178.30 , was allqvod.
This ostlmato and tbo licuros of the ouginecr
show that 51'Jl'J yards of earth were ro-
movcd.
The property owners who are Interested
nro now trying to flguro out bow ex-City
Engineer Tillson could have made a mistake
of yy.'Jl'J cubic yards in figuring on the con
tract.
The difference in the cost amounts to moro
than $2,000. The engineer explains that
when ho took his tirst measurements ho was
unnhlo to ascertain the oxactamount of earth
to bo removed ; that there was n side hill
and that the amount of earth to DO taken
from this cut could not bo figured.

Crrlgliton'ii Debate ) * .
"Is n monarchical for.n of government
moro conducive to intellectual development
than n democratic ! " was the question dis
cussed last evening by the Grolghton Debat
ing society. The speakers or tbo ovenlng
were : Afllrmativo Messrs. F. C. Kennedy
and K. L. Johnson. Nogotivo MOSSM. P. K.
McKUllp und W. E. Harry.
Mr. Kennedy in this , his fir.it appearance
before an audlonco , argued that as tbo king
of a couutry possesses the centralization of
authority and resource , I.o can Have unity in
hh plans of education , secure the most able
masters and consequently gam tbo point at
Issue , while under a democratic government
authority is over changing and the con
testants for ofllcc seek their own personal
emolument rather than the enlightenment ot
tbo Ignorant masses.
Opposed to tills were the soaring strains
of Mr. McICIlHp's eloquence. Ho was of the
opinion that the wbolo world was fast be
coming democratic that people would no
longer suffer the highest callings In educated
llfoto bo mononolirod " by "tho favored few"
of n royal lino. "It Is in monarchies , " said
the spoauor , "that today thousands are etarv-
Ing. They sco no shining goal to arouse
their dilatory weakness , hcnco their
depth of ignorance ; but to the
young man of toJay a republic
lilto ours la.v.i open a path
wherein his zeal may win tbo highest honors
In the land. "
The third speaker , Mr. Johnson , had for
his motto , "Wo L/mrn by Observation. "
With much logical force ho extoled the
beauties of ancient and modern architecture
and the other line arts , all of which reached
their climax under the fostering hand of
monarchy. Homer , Virgil , Shakespeare ,
Milton , all flourished boforu democracy was
known , and oven now , stand peerless in their
lino.
lino.Mr.
Mr. Harry closed the discussion. Ho was
unreloutlnglnblsdonuuclntious of monarchy ,
as a goad that spura nation and nation ,
province and province , into novcr-endlug
feuds ; u ring In which every petty prlnco
aspires to a crown ; u physical force party ,
that secures its own foundation by winning
allcglauco at tbo dagger's end and keeping its
subjects In ignorance.

1'artles who hold county warrants on the

poor nnd hospital funds , bo stated that the
money so derived would nav salaries nnd in

information has boon given out that thcro Is
not nor nas there been n cent of money in

Major Paddock's transfer was simply a sub-

It was then expressed that this club
wished it to uq clearly , distinctly and pub
licly understood that it is no Kickers'club ,
aud repudiates any 'of Its member * who glory
in such a title : that Its object is simply a
uniting of Individuals to procure by peti
tions , etc. , whatever Improvements may bo
deemed necessary for the north end ot the
city.The
The club then raised a vote of thanKs to
their councilmcn for their presence among
them , and extended them a hearty and cor
dial wclcotno to all its meetings.

The Omaha Excolslor of March 12 contained
an excellent article on Omaha's new post-

likewise portraits of Senator Charles F.
Muudoraon , Postmaster T. S. Cliirkson , W.
II. Alexander , the disbursing oftlcor , and
Charles F. Bclndorf , the supervisor. The
brlof mosrophioal sketches of the gentlemen
which appear In this number nro quite a fea
ture. It is a highly commendable piece of
Journalistic onterpr'lso on the part , of the edi
tor of the Excelsior , Mr. Clem Chas * , ana ,
no doubt , appreciated by tbo readers of
Omaha's society paper.

CIIICAOO , III. , March 17. The police this
nfternoon began their raids on the bucket
shops. The institution they visited has been
running for n week Just opposite tbo city
hall , on Washington street , right under the
noses of the police department. Only tbo
operatives twelve In number were ar
rested , the room full of brokers being allowed
to depart. The police examination of the
place developed the fact that the tickers , the
quotations of wttleh were supposed to
oinaualo from Western Union wires , were
mere clocks , the tajio being prepared In ad
vance mid the tidier run by nn olcctnomotor
stationed in thojrctom. It is sold this Is the
bccinnlng ot a wholesale raid on all similar
Institutions in the city.
"The KmiuunjVlfe. . "
Mr , Henry J ee , not unknown lo western
audiences as a strong and conscientious actor
ot melodramatic parts , began a week's en
gagement nt the Farnam Street theater last
evonlnc , appearing In Mclvoo Uankln'a
society drama , "I'lio Runaway \\lfp. "
Constructed upon familiar lines to the
average play goer , dealing with the doscrtlon
of an nrtist husband by a wife who could not
brook the humiliation of poverty when It
catno to the man whom she had sworn to
' love and cherish. " U nevertheless glvei the
mar excellent opportunity to show hh ability
as ono of the leading actors ot the modern
school.
Hero and there the play Is lighted up by
bright comodv bits which show Iho author
In a now and very praiseworthy light.
The situations nro particularly well con
ceived , the tableaux effective to a marked
degree , although the dramatist hns o'er
leaped liinnclf In tha number of times bo
forces tbo lendihg lady to end the scenes by
fainttne.
A nrettv love story , ns a foil to the great
passion of the artist nnd his wif * , who mar-
rle4 again under the delusion Unit her hus
band Is dead , Is woven about th1) llvo ) of
Arthur Vero. EOII of the abandoned painter ,
and Lillian Haye , ward of Lord nharnlolgh.
Mr , Leo llnds In the role of Arthur East
man a character that li partfcuiarlv suited
to his strong and ojrtiou style of acting.
Whllo ho Is vigorous In denunciation of the
wlfo who has married again , ho never of
fends the proprieties nnd throughout Is
scholarly In declamation nn.l action.
In Miss Amelia Hlnch.im the star hns a
particularly Interesting leading lady. She
Is pretty , nnd wtr.it is vetv much more to the
point , lias ability. Hero and thorn she shows
evidences of over acting , particularly In her
scenes with husoaird and son , but as n whole
gives a line portralttiro of tha wlfo who has
been wronged.
Ono of the best bits of acting soon on the
Farnain stage for a long tlmo is given bv
Hnrry J. Morgan as Sir Launcclot Travors ,
atypical London swell. Ho play * it with
delightful discrimination nnd dresses the
p'irt with line tasto. Paul Menfee ! , Charles
II. Clark , Miss Brooke Mr. Blnghaui and
Miss Wright add to the interest of the per
formance by careful work.
"The Tn Sister * . "
"Tho Two Sisters" w.-u the bill last even
ing nt Boyd's , the cast bslng very much tbo
siimo ns t'jat of last year. Virtue nnd vice ,
decency nnd debauchery , were as strongly
contrasted as the most ardent lover of the
sensational could wish , and the final righting
of wronps done under the guise of charity
wus received with Just ns much pleasure by
n largo audlonco ns if the play wns receiving
Its lirst presentation.
Mr. Add Kyinan Is delightful in the char
acter of Hiram Popper , "from Montana , "
nnd ho grows moio mellow in his art scorn-
Incly with the yours.
Ccor ! o W. Hyer , one of the authors of the
play. Is seen to advantage ns the Canadian
La Flamme. Miss Merricu and Miss Bil
lings , as the two sister. * , have parts particu
larly suited to their ability.
A pleasant feature of the performance is
the introduction of several specialties ; whis
tling by John P. Brawn , songs by Uavmond
Shaw , the well known tenor balladlst , and
violin solos by EJdie Fox. The play runs
for iho balance of the wool : .
Ciiinei viitor.v ol Musle lleelliil.
The recital given by the faculty and pupils
01 the Conservatory of Muslo last night must
have been very gratifying to all concerned.
The concert hall on the llfth floor of Boyd's
thoitcr was crowded , and numbers of people
were unable to procure se.us. The program
was opened by Mlsi Margaret Dyer and Mr.
J. 13. Cuturnings in Mo/art's concerto in D
minor ( llrst movement ) . It wus well nr.d
artistically executed and gave a dash und
spirit to the program.
Miss Millie Kollnor , n young violin pupil ,
followed in "Abschlodstlcd , " by.lul. Weiss.
Taking Into consideration the tender years
of the performer , her work was decidedly
good and predicts future possibilities.
Miss MocDormott displayed a line tech-
uinuo and taste in her vocal rendition of
Ardltl's "Magnetic Waltz. " She is very
young , and her conception of the work given
her was surprising.
Miss Louise Holtorff and Dr. Baetcns fol
lowed in the llrst movement ol Beethoven's
U major sonata. Miss Haltorff Is possessed
of a naturally good technique , and her play
ing In this nnd subsequent numbers was
much admired.
Miss Etta Evan * , a young lady who has
recently become a pupil of the conservatory ,
prepossesses an audience by her charming
stugo presence and girlish , unaffected man
ner. Sbo was seriously handicapped by in
attack of nervousness , which , however , did
not conceal the fact lhat she had a very
promising voice. Sno has never appeared
before in solo work and as an initial perform
ance her rendition of Bovlgnaiu's "Flower
Girl" was morn discuuruglnc to her audience
than to herself. She is studying for the
operatic stage and she bids fair to succeed.
Miss Mabel Seward , a pupil of whom the
conservatory may bo Justly proud , played
Mendelsohn's schcir/o op. 'i.i No. 2 and
Haydn's beautiful f.mtmio In C mijor. Her
execution , Internrctntion and general style
were much above the average , and to say
that she is an excellent young pianist would
not bo giving her undeserved praise.
Miss Darluno Coo played Kubinstnin's mel
ody In F as a violin bolo In such a way as to
attacttho admiration and praise of the audi
ence , and Miss Birdie Frank won an encore
bv her artistic rondorintr ol Singalee's
"Mignon" funtaslc.
The trio in G minor , first movement by J.
( . ! . Cummings , ono of the directors of the
conservatoiy , wns a delightful nnd masterly
piece of composition. Had It boon inserted
earlier in the program thooudienco would
ccrtnlnlv have called for tbo author , but in
'
asmuch' it was the lust number , people
were obliged to bo satisfied with commenting
on its excellency , which they unanimously
did. The parts "in the trio were artistically
sustained bv Dr. Baotons ( violin ) , Mr. John
Brown ( 'cello ) nnd Mr. 1J. M. Jones ( piano ) .
Miss Young recited "Tho Uandy Fifth"
( CJassownv ) in acceptable stylo. She pos
sesses a clear , flexible voice a'nd good pres
ence nnd will bo heard In n separata elocu
tionary tuitortalnmont In a few weeks when
slio can display lior versatility. *
Miss Ornke gave "Tho Tell Tnlo" by
Aldlno In n very catching manner. Dr.
{ Buctens was very artistic In his work and
| Mr. Jones was truly sympathetic In bis
l accompaniments.
Signer Fusco's pupils did him credit on
the whole and ho proved hlmiclf to bu a true
master of Italian aria.
