Probably the dullest week society has
known this scatran 19 the une Just brought
to a clous. It Is noticed all the more as the
previous week was so full of gayety. Many
of the young people who come home for
the holidays have returned to their tchooia
and colleges.
However , the social skies ore beginning
to brighten , as there arc already three Im
portant weddings on the taplu. Ttiwo are
tbo CUrko-DetwIlcr wedding , the Alllsoii-
Crclghton and the Knuntze-Uurns.
A diy or two before Christmas a young
society girl stepped Into a Sixteenth street
drug store to Indulge In a cup of hot choco
late. A3 she did so , ohe noticed a little
nowtboy standing there , gazing wistfully at
the steaming urn and uhlntng cups. She , of
courtto. Invited the little fellow to Join her ,
which ho psrslatently , but very politely re
fused to do.
After much urging on her part and staunch
refusal ! ) on his , the little urchin was finally
Induce ! to partake of His hot draught , for
which h ? earnestly thanked the young girl.
She , after bidding ner newly made friend a
hasty goodbye , boarded a. Farnam street car
and thought no moro of the Incident for a
while.
Tha conductor , entering In a few momenta ,
collected faro cf every one save her. As ho
was about to topass her on his way to the
door , i > lie Intercepted him with her nickel ,
but ho declined , faying , "Your fare has been
paid , nils ? . "
Upon Inquiry It seemed that a tiny , ragged
newsboy had stepped up on to the platform
after her , squeezed 5 cento Into the con
ductor's hand , whispering mysteriously that
It was for the young woman.
Arj there not a .qood many young men who
move In toclal circles , who could profit by
this little fellow's example ?
Wo hava heard of one man who caught
a I'svero cold on the evening of the Lsap
Year ball , owing to the carelessness of his
escort. She had done her duly nobly until
It was tlmo to order the carriage , when he
offered to get It for her , which she willingly
allowed him to do , and told him she though :
her number whs . The escort went In
search of the carriage. After waiting about
a half an hour he gave up In vain , and rs-
turned , saying there- was no such number
down there. It was then that the young
woman looked at her carriage number , which ,
ho discovered , was entirely different from
the one she had given the y. m. to call for.

Only n little choir boy ,

Only n clean white surplice ,
Only n curly head.
Only n choir sent vncnnt ,
And n little choir boy dead !
*
That Omnha Is not dead , but sUcpcth ,
musically speaking , is on Interesting fact.
Interesting because It Is true.
And Omaha Is shaking the dust and cob
webs from her musical eyes and will cro
long awaken In a glorious resurrection.
And w5iy ? Simply because It Is tlmo to
get up.
Musical circles have been shaken up , like
flowing rivulets pouring their vivacity Into
stagnant pools.
The trouble comes from the fact that people
have not wanted to Join hands and co-operate.
The. long suffering , patient , patriotic public
has been treated to nothing but squabbles and *
dissonances. The public has nt last aroused
ltslf and said : "Go to , now , we will not
listen to your troubles ; call a policeman. "
And other singers , and players , and talkers ,
and lojturers , and musical clubs have en
tered the field , and the Invalids who hive
nursed that awful and almost Incurable dls-
cara called dyspepso-Jcaloiules have been
sent to the hospital of good will , with In
structions that they be forthwith cured or
killed.
The time was when any one appearing In
Omaha musical circles had to bear the trade
mark and stamp of this or that clique In
order to succeed.
The musical colony has now spread Itself
so much that the clique work can bo easily
dispensed with.
There Is moro of tae Bohemian element In
musical circles , and It Is the earnest wish of
every true , genuine , honest musician that
this clement may grow. The Idea which
John Boyle O'Reilly carries out In his poem ,
"Bohemia : "
? ' > ' niuslc has none but adopted sons ,
Her limit ? , vhero fancy's blight stream
Her honors , not garnered for thrift nor
trade ,
Hut for wealth of beauty , men's souls have
made.
Let narrow-mindedness depart , and healthy ,
vigorous good fellowship como In. The re
sult will bo a musical fraternity of which
3maha will bo proud and which will attract
t'ne attention of all eastern cities.
The Catholic choirs of this city. South
Omaha and Council Bluffs will present Ron-
olnl's "Stabat Mater" on February 9 , Sunday
evening , at St. John's church.
The choir , which has been organized by
Mr. Burkley , will be composed of the best
talent In the three cities , and a performance
of great beauty may be expected.
The work Is flne , and Its first appearance
n Omaha will mark an epoch In church
music.
Mr. Thomas J. Kelly conducted the first re-
icarsal on Thursday evening at Crelghton
college.

The Mondamln Choral society meets again

The commltteoannounces that no members

vlyh to become members will therefore sand

- Much cnthuslat-m has been aroused In cc-n-

veil attended.

Garth SayH that lie Shot to
I'l-oti-ct IIniHfir.
Stump Garth , a negro , who tried his best
several days ago to put five bullet holes
through the body of Walter Wilson , another
negro , and who nearly succeeded , was ar
raigned yesterday before Police Judge
Gordcn on the charge of shooting with intent
to kill , and pleaded not guilty. Friday , Janu
ary 17 , was flxej as tbo day for the prelim
inary hearing , and In the meantime Garth
was placed under | 2GOO bonds. Ho wajj re
manded to jail.
Although Garth mode quick tracks after
the shooting and was captured In Council
muffs Friday night , ho says that the ahootlng
was justifiable. Ho said that ho usd his re
volver , only after he saw that he could not
get out of the meeting without having hit/ /
own skin pappsred. Consequently he will
plead Delf-defense.
Th * war which has been raging between
Harry Hodges and Ernest Lemon en the bottoms
toms at Tenth and Paul otroets was settled
Tor a while by the action of Police Judge
Gordon yesterday. Lemon , an old man
who has become a nuisance to the police , had
: Iodges arrested on three separate charges of
assault and battery , alleged to have cccurred
on Des'mbor 22 , December 25 and January 7 ,
At the hearing Lemcn gave graphic
" .ccounts of the manner In which ho
md been beaten and choked by Hodges on
hese ccsaslon ? . Ills accounts , however , were
lot supported by witnesses , whereaa Hodgeu
ad a number who testified that ho had not
struck the old man. It appeared that Lemon
tad been pilfering potatoes and articles from
lodges and that the former had only threat
ened to put him In Jail , Lemon did not con
descend to answer the charges cf larceny.
Judge Gordon dismissed all the oases.
Mrs. J. Smith , who has been located at 207
South 16th street , Brown block , has removed

When Central Labor union opens Its an
nual ball at Washington hall tomorrow nigh
It does not propose that the occasion slml
In the slightest manner reflect the prevail
Ing spirit of the times. H has been deter
mined that there shall bo nothing dull or
sluggUh or depressing about It. On the con
trary , It Is the purpose of the members to
dance more merrily than usual , and have
moro people there to do the pleasant busi
ness than ever before. It has also been de
cided to hnvo n little more music than on
former occasions , and thirty members of the
Musicians' Protective union have agreed to
pipe and saw away all night without
a cent. Labor banners and dec
orations will give color to the
walls , and some novel features are prom
Ised , It Is announced that on that night
the names of merchants and business men
who continue to patronize- the boycotted beer
will bo given. The ball will bo under the
Immediate charcc of :
Master of Coremoncs K. S. Fisher.
Reception Committee P. S. Horton , Mor
ris Hlnchey , Harry Eastern , J. L. Balrd.
Floor C. E. . Watson. W. C. Boyer , Prod
Hcge. S. S. Gossard , H. C. Waller. J. Knnpp.
It In not Improbable- that the ball will bo
In some degree a celebration of the success
of the Labor Temple movement. The temple
has now bjen open two weeks , and Is proving
to be for organized labor all that the promoters
meters hopoJ It would be. It has already
become a favorite rendezvous , nnd Superin
tendent Waller says that It would tire him
out to keep computation of the number of
people who visit the place each day. It Is
an Institution which Is certainly bringing the
laboring pcoplo of the city Into cloyar ac
quaintance and sympathy with one another.
The reading room Is welt patronized at all
hours. Already 120 becks have been placed
by donation on Us shelves. From outside
the city twenty-two dally and weekly papers
are received , tuu ) all the dally papers of the
city are regularly laid on the tables , save
the World-Herald. The Congressional Record
comes daily , and a number of the people of
the city have premised contributions of old
magazlneo and other literature.
Tlio frefl employment bureau at the temple
has so far been the means of furnishing work
nt good wagea to seven men and eight wo
men , nnd on Its lists seeking employment are
now five women and 200 men. Next Sunday
the board of directors will begin the dis
charge of Its functions. This board Is to be
composed of the presidents of all the labor
organizations tbat hold meetings In the tem-
ol ? . The number of these Is now twenty-one.
but applications are being mailo daily , and
the beard at Its opening meeting will probably
have a membership of thirty-five. It will
have the usual officers and will exercise gen
eral control over th ? temple.
Had It not been for the fact that Washing
ton hall was pome tlmo ago engaged for the
annual ball , the dance would have been In
the main hall of the temple , which Is com-
modlouu enough for such occasions. A can
vas has been ordered to cover the Brussels
carpet on occasions of this kind , and It will
bo first trod on on the evening of February
20 , when the Press Feeders' union gjves Its
annual ball.
This afternoon at the temple the Unskilled
Labor union and the Painters' nnd Deco
rators' union will hold meetings. The latter
will meet for reorganization. It has about
gone to pieces recently on account of the
lIUlo , that has been tqdp for the * craft.
AVcatlier AKiili'Mt tlic Ice Mn. .
A class of laborers who expect employ
ment just at this tlmo of the year and who
felt sure a few days ago that they were
going to have It are suffering disappoint
ment. These are the Ice workers. The
comparatively warm weather of the past
few days has made the Ice so rotter that
the work of packing , which was hegui. a
week ago , has been Eiu-pended. In the mat
ter of wages , the Ice men came to a vjry
satisfactory agreement with their employora.
For a tlmo It was feared that the latlsi
would not agree to the schedule of $1.60 per
day for outslda men and $1.70 per day for
Ins'.de men , but with little negotiation they
conceded , and all work on the Ice this sea
son will be at those prices.

Eugene V. Debs will bo In Omaha to de
liver an address about February 15. He will
come under the auspices of the American
Railway union and Central Labor union. On
tbo first of next month he starts out from
his home in Terre Haute on a lecturing trip.
He will speak In New York , Plttsburg , To
ledo , Peorla and then Omaha. It Is proposed
to give him a rousing reception here. A
committee of Uiree has been appointed to
secure a hall , and It Is predicted that the
address will be delivered In one of the
theater buildings or In the Coliseum , for It
Is taken for granted that a small hall would
be Inadequate to accommodate the crowd
that Is expected.

There seems to bo no Indication that the war
against the breweries that many months ago
refused to agree to the demands of the brew

ing of Central Labor union It was decided to

patronizing the boycotted beer , nnd a com-
mltteo was appointed to report the names of
liquor dealers or other business men using
such beer ,
for Ki-ileratloii. .

IS IT A TRIFLE ?
That Common Trouble , Soar Stomach ,
Nun- Known to lip the Source of
SerioiiN niHeiiNUN.
"Sour stomach" Is the common name for
acid dyspepsia , and because It Is a common
everyday trouble with many people they
have come to look upon It as of little consequence
quence as affecting the general health. Nev
ertheless , the most serious diseases have their
beginning from this very condition. It Is
caused In the first place from weakness of
the stomach , which , Instead of promptly di
gesting and disposing of the food , allows It
to Ho In the stomach tor hours fermenting ,
cattslng gas , sour rising In the mouth , heart
burn , headaches , oppression , despondency ,
dullness , etc.
The blood Is thin. Impure , and circulation
poor simply because It Is replenished from
this mass of fermenting , half-digested food.
This condition of the stomach cannot con
tinue very long without deranging the nerv
ous system , the kidneys , heart , liver or lungs.
Whichever ls weakest will break down first.
Pure blood , strong nerves and muscles ,
firm , healthy flesh can only como from whole
some food well dlgestc-d. "Blood purifiers"
nnd "nervo tonics" do not reach the cause of
the mischief. The stomach Is the point to
ba looked after. The safest and mi rest way
to cure any form of indigestion Is to take
after each meal some harmless preparation
which will of Itself digest food. There Is nn
excellent preparation of this kind , composed
of vegetable essences , pure pepsl.- ' , golden
seal and fnit nails , aold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsl * Tablets , and
thcso tablets taken after meals assist diges
tion wonderfully , because they will digest the
food promptly , before It has time to ferment
and sour , and the weak stomach relieved and
assisted In this way soon becomes strong and
vigorous again.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are superior to
any secret patent medicines because you
know what you are taking Into your stem
ach. They are sold by druggists every
where at CO cents per package.
