The delightful weather of tlie past week
has been n real boon to local society , which
has qullo slial.cn off the leihnrgy In which
It lay a week ago. Stimulated by cool
breezes and n pleasing climate society has
more or loss completely moused Itself from
that inorblil drovvulticxi concomitant with
torrid weather , find a retrospectives Blanco
over the week's calendar shows a number of
interesting function * . \Vhtthcr or not thh
has been but a brief lease of life prcpaiatmy
to the profound sleep Into which nil urban
society must fall In the summer months can
not be foretold , but It may not bu amiss to
hint that such Is the case.
The. event of the week , around which
clustered n scries of lesser e\cnts , was the
Powell-.McClclland wedding. 'Hiiro v.oie
vcro several breakfasts and luncheon * In
honor of the brldo and her malilo. Ucsldea
thi'so affairs , there weio n. number of bi
cycle parlies and porch patties 'Ibero ean
no longer bo nny doubt about the propilety
of suili outdoor functions nml their popu
larity Thin Is attested by their inpldl )
Increasing number. The devotee * of society
arc growing fonder and fonder of outdoor
uponllotli ! blejelc and horseback riding
rro finding nioie champions with the ad
vent of o.ich week.
The vmlety of outdoor amenities , which
have hlthi'ito Intituled only bleyeln , horse
back and coaching pal lies , pnich parties
nnd garden paitles , has been further Illus
trated duilni ; the pabt week by the Invasion
of a ifcw fotm of amusement The tiolloj
car has pushed Its way right Into the mldbt
of socletj's circles , nnd bids fair to ex
clude many less popular forms of ploasmc
It's no sui prise that the trolley car has
been admitted to society , for society Is , as
n rule , quick to iccognlzo a good thing The
blciclo nnd other modern Inventions have
been duly admitted , and the fi lends of the
trolley car Knew that It would not be fai
behind the mount.
Trolley paitles have been popular In east
ern cities for the past thrco scabona. The
Idea orglnated In Philadelphia and last
summer the managers of the Quaker lines
could lint meet the demands for their party
cars. These nro fitted up In an especially
attractive manner with seats running
mound the hides of the cais and oloctilc
lights ai ranged to show the "counterfeit
presentment" of some famous man or to
represent some popular Institution. Should
the fad continue to grow In favor In Omaha
us It has In the past week , for there has
been scarcely a night without Its trolley
party , the local managers may be > induced
to provide some of these loomy patty cars.
With the completion of the projected lines
into the various suburbs of Omaha such par-
tics will Increase more rapidly In favor.
This will bo especially tine when the tiolley
is stretched between here and Tort Crook.
SpeaMng of Fort Crook , Omahans arc
nlready beginning to get acquainted with
the ollicers and their families , nnd they
find the soldiers fiom tbo west nnd their
friends a most congenial bet of people. The
young women are as attractive as their
ciders are hospltnblo and the joung men
of Omaha , anticipating the many good limes
that are bound to come t the now fort ,
are already planning to lay siege thuro. Unt
thcro has been more constormtlon caused
by the coming of the new soldiers from the
west among the young women of this city ,
for It Is reported that there arc no less than
eleven marriageable officers In the regiment
The departure of the Second regiment with
drew man ) officers who had been extremely
popular In local society , but tbo latter in
stitution is now almost reconciled to the
loss beraiiso It has taken thought of the
pain it has made. The presence of a wed
ding moro or less mllitaiy in its eharacter
on the week's calendar has caused ninny of
the buds , and many moio of their sisters , to
regard the advent of eleven marriageable
officers as an exceedingly auspicious event
What the harvest will be , but that , as n
popular author would say , Is another story.
The lakes of Minnesota are now attracting
a number of Omahans to the cool and de
lightful ichorts by their shores. The colony
of society folk at one of the most popular
of these lake resoits has grown considerably
during the past week , and of the names
that have helped lengthen the roll of guests
there Is that of a > oum ; woman of this city
who enjoys nn enviable reputation In the
most ellto circles Kver since warm weather
struck hero she has pined for the cool
breezes of the lake. She Is n good swimmer ,
enjoys sailing , when afternoon comes la
ready to ride n wheel or play tennis , and
In the evening never tires of dancing. It
Is small wonder then that she wanted to
Join her friends at the lakeside , where all
these amenities are offered She had re
ceived nn Invitation to come there and visit ,
hut she could not see her way clear to pio-
vldo the necessary transportation. She had
fretted and worried , and , passing that stage ,
had detci mined to be satisfied to lemuln In
town during the torrid tcason.
The other afternoon she was at the rail
road station to bid farewell to a number
of companions who were departing for the
place where she longed to be. She had just
kissed one of the dear girls goodbye for
the last time , nnd , turning away , saw thp
reneral manager of the road Intently watch
ing her H must bo confessed that , busy
nan though ho was , for ho had just been
appointed to the position named , ho hud
been quite captivated with what ho bad
Just seen Ho cnmo over to where the
joting women were standing and entered
into their conversation with tbo earnestness
of a man thlity years his junior.
"Dear mo , I wish I could go with joti ,
Klrls , but I can't , so there's no use crvlnc '
ald the jtott > llttlo school Kill.
" \Vhy can't you ? " queried the newly ap
pointed general manager.
"I haven't the money to buy n ticket , "
came back In soft accents.
"What would > ou do If I should give you
a pats ? " asked the g m. "Would you 1 < | SS
me ? "
"Would I ? " fairly shrieked the girl. "You
dust tr > mo and see whether I would or
not. " Still she thought that he must bo
jesting.
The promised goods vvcro duly delivered
to the K m Ho kept his part of the eon-
tract and made out a round trip pass for
the school girl , nnd she Is now enjoying
herself to the limit , but alto doesn't tell her
friends why it was that her trunk was
packed In ten minutes and that bho no sud
denly changed her mind nnd decided to
spend gome ) time at the resort In question.

LONDON , July 10. A majoil'j of the
newspapers express themselves rs salUlled
w'llh the adoption of the iteceaicii wife's
sister bill after foil ) ycais of nultatlo'i.
The linportnnt iitiestlon nowIs , will the
KOV eminent give the bill a ehnt.ce of nisi-
IIIK the House of Commons , ns well as the
llousu of Lords ? It Is be UeC'l that at
least two-thlid of the members of the lower
house aie In favor of the measure while
outside It can safely bo said that the mai-s
of the people , except a section of the clitirih
part ) , Is nlso lu favor of the bill , Ilaron
Horse-hell , formerly lord chancellor , and a
llbeinl , In n crisp specc'i last cwnlng de
molished one of the luvll'if ; ntr.umeiits put
forward b ) the bishop of 131y , who appciled
to the canonical law as denouncing the mar
riage of a man with his \ > lfe' bister. Haion
llersiliell letorted that the canonical law
equally foi bids the tucrrliRc of Hist cousins ,
which the church of Oinlum ! allows.
Lord Dunravcn made a tellln ? point when
he produced n "whli > ' Bi-til to the Hotn.m
Catholic peers , In vvlnoh Cmdlnal V.iughnn
declared that he hid the atltluultv of the
pope to call upon all Roman Catholics to
oppose the bill. This has been seized upon
b > the ncwspnppis toll ) as liiteiference

The membeis of the House of Lords who
voted In favor uf the bill last evening In
cluded the prince of Wales , the duke of
Connaught , the duke of York , the duke of
Fife , Lord Hoscberj , Ilaron Herscliell. the
duke of Devoiibhlie , Lord Rothschild. Lord
Lnusdovvne , the duke of St. Albnns and
others. Their appointments Included two
archbishops , nineteen bishops the duke of
Argyle , the maiquls of Sallsbui ) , the carl
of Cianbrook and the duke of Rle-hmond.
The Times today , although It Is opposed
to the deceased wife's slstei bill , admits
that > cMtc > ida > 's vote Is likely to bring
about the adoption of the mcasuic. The
House of Commons has often pievlously
passed the bill , nnd Us supporters arc likely
to force the goveinmcnt to give the neces-
baiy time to its consideration. It Is not
merely prospective , but applies to mar
riages already contracted.
M MCK KUN OF AMERICANS.
At a dinner of 11.c Antlcnl nnd Honorable
Artlllcty conpnny on Thursday , the log of
the Mafiowci on foolscap and mnnuscilpt
v\lth n plain patchn < ent cover , vuitten by
Govcinor Dradford , v > as Mibmlttcd to the
pilnco of Wales , who examined It with the
greatest of intcrcbt The book w.is the
ptoperty of Thomas Prlnco of Harvard col
lege , in 1703 , and it now belongs to the
bishop of London's llbiary at ruluain The
reception accorded the Ancients in Hngland
surpasses aiithing in point of genuine
hcaity entbubiasm in the history of the
country. On all aides , from the queen and
the piinco of Wales , down to the pooieht
of the masses , the hand of good fellowship
has been extended to the visitors , who , as
statOd by the prince , were not received as
foreigners , but as brothers from ncioss the
sea. But. theio has been a humorous
feature 1 theprocoedlnGSwhich It will done
no harm to icroid.
Colonel AValker of the Ancient and Hon-
o.able Aitlllei ) Company of Massachusetts
said to a leprcsentativo of the Afiboclatcd
picsj todn ) "Our visit virtually concluded
last night with the smoker of tbo Honorable
Artillery company , though most of the
Ancients will bo present In uniform this aft-
oi noon at the annual Inspection of the
Honorable Aitillery company.
"I wish to record our Keen delight at the
character of the reception we have met with
heie Of couise v o expected the generous
whole-souled courtesies of our comrades
Hut we did not expect the gieat , popular
reception by the mabbcs of tbo people which
wo have met with every moment since ar-
ilving hern It is very clear to all of us
that the mass of Kngllbbmen are heait and
toul against an ) interruption of the peace
ful relations between the tvvo countiies , nnd
they took this occasion to spontaneously
demonstrate the same. This Is the spirit
manifested by the queen , prince of Wales ,
duke of Connnught , Lord Wolseley and eve'ry
ono In authority. They all seem to bo
anxious to emphasize the pleasure of seeing
the Ancients "
When the ancients were entertained In
the real oiansery nt Windsor on Wednes
day many of their ladle's were anxious to
obtain souvenirs of the occasion , and they
persuaded the waiters lo bell them knives
and folks Consequently high pi Ices vvcro
paid for common stec-1 knives which It trans ,
plied wore the property of the contractor at
Windsor who supplied the feast , and had
never been used Inside the cabtle.
MIMIC NAVAL WAR.

lventoiiegunboata , twenty toipedo du-
Btroyers , twenty-four torpedo boats nnd a
number of dlspatih vessels and other craft.
There will bo 22,000 men on board these
llei-ts The leading point to bo decided by
the maneuvers Is expected to be whether
torpdo de stroirs can effectually protect
blockading ships against toippilo boats. Last
year they pioved able to catch nnd sink tor
pedo boats , but wcio not able to hinder
tlipui entirely fiom i caching the ships The
Admiralty announces , that n feature of the
mimic war will be the watching of ono fleet
in poll b ) the other The spectacle In Ply
mouth Bound Is the finest over witnessed
The vessels cover an area of ncaily two
miles within raiiKO of the national Armada
memorial at Plymouth house
The government has got into a inuddlo
over the lri h land bill , which measure Is
acceptable to neither tbo niitlonnlUls nor
in the UlstcrltcH us It Mauds. Gerald rial-
four , the chief Becretaiy for Ireland , has

W J. Perry , manager of the llvo atock
commission III in of Rice Dios. & Xlxon nt
South Omaha , returned jcstculny flora u
tilp through north western Nebraska , com
monly known as the sand hills country In
speaking about his tilp. Mr. Pciry had this
to say
"Having been , ns jou Luovv , deeply Inter
ested in the live stock Industry foi n nmnboi
of ) ears , I maclo It n special point to note
the resources of that section of the countiy ,
and was BUI prised to sec what good , piac-
tleal cattlemen have been able to accom
plish In the past few } cais. I found a
number of laiichmon who have actually
giown rich while there ate scoies of others
that aiu In n fair wa ) to make n competency
In n few vcars more
"Among the moat succesbful cattlemen In
that locality whom 1 met was H M. Kaddls
of Cheery county Mr Faddls' laneh Is
located in the cxticmo eastern part of
Cheery county , between the D &
M and Klkhorn rallioads , and has the
advantage of two lines over which to ship
his stock. Mr Kaddis is one of the pioneer
cattlemen in that county , having com
menced in a small way thirteen years ago
Dy eloso attention to business his herd
now numbci s nearly Il.OOO head , while ho
is the solo owner ot 3,000 acies of the best
hay land in Cheery count ) I could cilo any
number of cases similar to Mi. Kaddis' , for
thn whole sand hill country Is filled with
just such successful cattlemen.
"For the past llvo ) ears I have made
regular summer tiips to this section of the
country and am satisfied tlmt It is the veiy
best cattle countr ) in the webt They have
an abundance ot gtasb and plenty of good ,
sweet water. The vast tracts of hay land
ales the finest to bo found anywhere lu tills
or any other country.
"The crop of hay Is moio than enough to
feed all the cattle on the lauges through a
long winter but the past few w Intel s have
been ST mild that fully one-half ot the hay
has not been fe-d and today there aie thou
sands of tons of hay that have been put up
that Is rotting In the stackb , the cattle
prefeirlng the open lange
"I know of no Investment at the present
time that is as safe as o cattle ranch In
the sand hills country
Many of the cattle shippers up theie
formerly shipped their live stock to Chicago
cage , but after having given this market
a trial last year nnd the ) car before , were
so well pleased with the prices and the
treatment hero that they have abandoned
the Chicago market entirely and now send
their entire product to South Omaha. "
