TITE OHAttA BATIAr T3TS { SUNDAY * nfTTOTVER 33 , 1897 , MliJIBER'S ADVANCE NOTE It la Henri to'Sonnd , and Quicken ? Sociaty's Pulse , ANOTHER BRILLIANT OCTOBER WEDDING I'lr t I.iirKr Hull of HIP Prnaoti tJlvcn Ity Olllrcn < liililii > r _ llreiiril of Sot-liil lltituic-iiliiKM , Mimill , .Medium mill ( Jroiit. Even a cjtual RlAiicp at the columns which foiluw will show that quickening of the so cial pulse which comes with the early trosta ; their exciting contents mid a careful perusal of tents , undertaken In that reverential frame of mind which should accompany a religious rite , will reveal nuny hidden beauties and provide milch food for meditation. Wherefore It seems not Improbable that high ambitions and laudable purposes may be kindled anew this Sabbath morning In minds which liavo missed both quantity and quality In their society pabulum of late and have found It dinicult to fix themselves upon cliurchly de votions by reason of a lack of.an Impalpable ftomuthlni ; which ritual and * servlco do not provide. Marylng yet Roes on apace. This brisk traf fic , with Its resulting mystical molting of two Into one. would bt fraught with menace to the growth of any community were there not other sides to the great problem. The In spired writer of the hook of Eccleslastcs , who lias been quoted before In these columns , assures hid readers that there Is "a time to every purpose under the heaven. " It has been seen and abundantly proved that Oc tober Is the befit uf all Mines for marrying and giving In marriage. It Is at least as good and propitious 11 season as any to be born In. And what more beautifully appro priate than that the body of man shall bo laid away li the earth at sunset of a glowing October afternoon , amid the fallen leaves ; whlch have lived out their little day ? Slnco It Is possibly the best month of the year for birth , marriage and death , this brown , gorgeous month of October can well afford to yled supremacy In point of some of the Incidents which lie between such as enow balling , and summer touring , and Eas- tcr observances , which have their legitimate place at other seasons. It has been a hot and rather uncomfortable month hereabouts , and some of the pursuits In which It unques tionably leads have been prosecuted with dif ficulty ; but that only furnishes the exception which proves the general rule. Much social gayety la In sight ; If not within the range of myopic vision , at least apparent to the keener eyes which know how to distinguish It from the general grayncss of the future. A pretty contest Is that for Queen Polaris , now waged dally through the friendly agency of The Deo. Candidates for royal dignity are marshaling their forces and watching the published returns with hope and fear and renewed purpose of activity. No woman was ever raised to qucenshlp In a more truly democratic fashion. The list of competitors shows names of many grades of social prom inence. An oath of allegiance should bo exacted from voters in advance , for it will doubtless bo Irksome to swear and preserve fealty to a queen whom one does not know and who , off the throne , moves In a circle cither higher or lower than her subject. And although no unwise or unjust restrictions should be placed on the candidacy of any worthy young woman , there Is a growing sentiment that the cold , the Icily regular , the splendidly null , should bo barred , no matter what their apparent standing. For wherein Is a polar queen good If she Is al ready frozen. The Dee's efforts are all 'In the direction of warmth and sunshine , and hap piness and concord. It feels , however , that It would neglect Its duty to nuny readers It It failed to suggest that no queen be suf fered to mount the winter throne In a con gealed slate. ThurNtnti ItllU-M * Dance. * Prominent among the many events of the past week In local society circles was the dancing party given by the Thurston lUfles last Tuesday evening. With the advent of the social season the citizen soldiery Is expected to come to tlie ifront as a social entertainer. Consequently the Thui'atons will give a series of formul ! rtles during the winter. The national drill , practice marches and the allurements of tar get shooting have given way to ball room fes tivities , and punch and delicacies will take the place of the emergency ration for some tlmo to come. The announcement of tlio opening | arty for last Tuesday evening was suillciccit to Induce the fair maiden to join lior soldier friend In having a royal good time. From the goodly number of the fair BOX present It was evident that the once fcs- tlvo summer girl Is again abroad In the land and ever ready to enjoy the waltz and two- stct ) . The cozy and cheerful home nf the company was tastefully decorated with Uio national colors , as is the custom of all mili tary social functions. While the G.tlveston cup will not adorn the parlor for a year at least. Its absence will bo marked by an ad ditional ribbon on the Hag a black ribbon , symbolizing defeat and bearing the Inscrip tion : "San Antonio. July 17-25 , 1S97. " Promptly t 8:30 : o'clock the dancing began and a program of twenty numbers was greatly enjoyed by all preseut until a late hour , when a most successful party drew to a close , duo to the efforts of Musician Hlsleyand Lieu tenants Stocklmin and Forby.

South Omaha News Contrary to expectations the driving of piles for the foundation of the hog cooler house at the Armour hlto was not com pleted last week. H Is thought now that the piles for this building will nil be driven by Monday or Tuesday when the laying of brick will commence. The night crews ' on the steam shovels and the Milwaukee engines which haul the dirt trains have been laid oft and returned to their homes yesterday. Nn more night work will be done by thct steam shovels , but night crews on the pile drlvcia will continue to work for some time to come. Rocheford & Gould , the brick contractors , have erected a shanty at the eist entrance to the site near the west end of the Q street viaduct and are arranging matters pre paratory to commenelng work. As yet no brick or stone are on the ground , but sup plies will be forthcoming In a day or two. The contractors have wheelbarrows , mortar boards , etc. , at the site and arc procuring other needed materials. Monday morning Contractor Peterson will commence work excavating 'or the cellar to the hog house , which will adjoin the hog cooler on the west.

Mayor Ensor announced yesterday after noon that the pavement on N street which was torn up by the gas company would be replaced this week and the street placed in a passable condition. Interesting develop ments will no doubt follow any attempt on the part of the city to do this work , as Judge Scott has refused to allow the mayor to take any steps toward improving the condition of the street. When the injunction preventing the gas company from continuing the lawlng of Its pipes was Issued nothing was mid about re placing the pavement , although the gas com pany was ordered to remove tiie pipes from the ground. This has not been done and the company refuses to replace the pavement un less the pipes nro left in the ground. Judge Ssott will not hear to the leaving of the , pipes and the company will not fill the trenches un less the pipes are left. With a view to straightening out the mat ter Mayor Ensor called upon Judge Scott and Informed him of the necessity for some action in the matter In order that the lives of citizen * might bo protected. The mayor was Informed by Judge Scott that the In junction would stand until settled by a 'higher court , and that uny Interference or disobedience of his order would mean pun ishment. As It Is uncertain how long the Injunction suit will bo pending In the supreme court the mayor < Hd not like this and so stated to the judge. Again the mayor was admonished to keep his hands off and not make any at tempt to repair the street or ho would aurely bo sent to Jail for contempt of court. Yesterday afternoon the mayor tiiid that he considered that the people here had some rights and ho proposed to go ahead and have the pipes snaked out and the trenches filled , oven If Judge Scott did rot like It. In other words , the mayor proposes to defy Judge Scott In the matter. \ < * iv Dlplitlifrln VUHI'H.
