Along Farnam, Douglas and Har ney streets there were a few framo biul nruft houses and three hotels. The Tre niont houso was a framo building on tho sltn now occupied by the Nebrnska thea ter; tho Douglnn was a smnll frame Intel at tho corner of Thirteenth nnd Harney streets, and the Hamilton houso was at tho corner of Douglau and Fourteenth streets. I stopped nt the Tremont houise and tried to make mjself bellovo that I would like tho new town, but tho longer 1 stayed the less I liked It. Many of tho people lioro then wero stranded and couldn't get away. I had plenty of monoy to get east nnd left, never expecting to I return, j AninnllloM of .Sninlltinv, "Bcven years later I caught the western fever again and camo to Omaha to talto chargo of the Farnam house. It wasn't much of a hotol, and I shall never forget 1 what my wife said when s,ho flint saw It. A look of disgust camo over her face as sho remarked, 'That old sawmill In (llenn'fl Falls In a better looking building.' An tho rickety old hack that hauled u I from the landing approached tho hotel 1 I saw a lot of bedclothlng spread on tho ground In the back yard. A colored man , was working in tho yard nud I asked him What tho bedclotblnc na ilnlnir nn Mm ground.

My nephew, (5us Hlgbeo Jus is tho mayor of Sabine Tass, Tex., now camo out from Now York stato to help mo in tho hotel.

" 'Thero are some beggars out there, uncle; I guess wo'd better not lot them come Into tho bouao had we?' he said. "I laughed and told him they probably had gold dust enough In that old wagon to buy nil tho hotels in Oniahu. And I was right. They began to unload that wagon and ono of the men produced a carpet sack with so much gold dust In It ho could hardly carry It urtalrs.

In theso days no hotel keeper would dnro to keep so much gold In hln houfe, but thero was not much stealing In those days and It was mighty uncomfortable for any thief who was caught. "After keeping tho Farnam house for four years, .1 took tho Casement house, now the Henderson bouse, nt tho corner of Ninth and Farnam streets. Wc changed the namo to tho Wyoming houso and run it under that name until 1871, when I quit tho hotel busi ness. George Francis Train and many of the other men interested In tho Union Pacific used to spend much tlmo at tho Wyoming house, nnd I wns well acquainted with all the men prominent In tho Omaha of thoso days. Some people used to say that Train was crazy, but I nevor thought ho. Ho al ways seemed to bo crazy In tho way that benefitted Tialn the most. Although ho was eccentric I never had any trouble with him, nnd ho wns as polite a guest as I ever had In my hotel." Omaha's first hotel was built In tho early '50s by the Nebraska and Council Dluffs Ferry company,' which took Biich nn actlvo part In the beginning ot the city. It was a log cnbln eighteen feet long by slxteon feet wldo and stood at the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, In 1S51 tho City hotel was built at the southwest corner of Harney and F.Iovonth streets. It was a framo building one story In height and w,ih the only rival of tho St. Nicholas until 1SJ5, when the Douglas house was opened on tho southwest corner of Harney and thirteenth streets, The Douglas We do not wait until tho season is over to cut prices, but right now when you nesd wash goods, we will eoll imported wash fabrics at a fraction of their real value.

Tho man who takes his placo at a dining ear table does not realize what an amount of work must bo done and how much money must bo Invested to make the scrvlco pos sible. Tablo linen, glass, silver, cutlery and kitchen utensils aro kept In largo quanti ties and tho number of pieces needed aro de livered on requisition to each car and are charged as they would bo to an Individual. As they show signs of wear or ore broken they aro replaced from tho stock on hand, so that tho quantity and the quality nlways remain the same. Tho sliver is charged to tho waiters on duty nt the tables and Is ro turncd and nccnunted for after earh trip.
