Dinners seem to hnve become society's one
means of entertaining of late. Every night
tho dining room at tho Country club has
been tho ncene of partlui, ranging In nura
her from four to eight, some of them hav
ing been given in honor of distinguished
out-of-town guests whllo others wero only
ratherlngs of n few congenial spirits. Sev
cral unusually elaborate "family affairs"
wero given last week and noma half dozen
irmal and Informal dinners were tendered
iu honor of Hlshop and .Mrs. McCabc.
Three fast friends of the younger et
cre sprawling nbout tho veranda of the
' oilntry club late on Saturday afternoon.
I. was their privilege to sprawl, for they
t.orn men and It was hot. They had taken
n. shower In the locker room after plod-
ng around the eighty-two nrres and felt
is rn and clean. When their elgarcttr had
burnt out they meant to Join the women at
tito table d'hote and then there would bo
dancing. So It was good to be there.
They had been talking about n girl. Well
bsed mnn are known to do that ewprclally
If tbey are very young. The boy In tho
' golf-pink" coat, glowing aH a firebrand,
had tho floor. "You wouldn't mind her
t .vlnglng n scepter' around nt summer re
! rt and Uncoln and such places." ho
f -lit, "hut when sho conies Into' our circle
before she's old enough and unseats all the
r,odd(s;cs and disrupts all our traditions
l''s a wonder tho Women don't take up her
ord and put her out of the union.
"I think the men like her because she
i! ejn't care; she sort of takes It for granted
t' at tho world !n at her feot and she deigns
t walk along over It with n sort of golf
j ride. Virgil's 'Den prngredltur,' 'the god,-
sh stalks," Is nbout tho way to describe It,
' course sho's pretty, that's a long story,
1 t there Isn't nny sclf-cotiscloiiHncFU about
1 ' t sho enjoys herself like a child. Well,
1 -,ol tho fever with tho rest, and when I
f 'ii nd my brains and earthly goods weren't
ravy enough to make her happy sho
i mply hn to havo unlimited coin, you
now I sort of tood around like a fellow
vj-n's loHt at a faro gnmo and Is watching
th" othein play.
' "ho still knows me, you know, because
rvr y week or two sho hasn't anything bet
ter lo do, and tho other day I cheered up
cm 'tgh to piny a Joke. It was a flat little
Jof'i when It started, but It got better as
It went along. The girl had gone down
to Lincoln because she was a Uttlo bored by
l.c 10.x, who Is high man Just now. I hap
jct d to be at tho depot the next morning
nu'" there was Lennox getting Into a Lin
coln train. 1 know there would bo some
chr i when ho got there because Watson,
the nl man, has a little money, too. So I
ncn' tho girl n telegram.
"". storday alio told her chum all about It
nnd I know this, chum pretty well. She
danc i almost as well as tho girl herself.
They took tho telegram to tho hotel when
the flrl was out driving and somehow It got
lost before sho went back. There was a
Jrant - search for tho mennago nnd the girl
worrl d a wholo lot. Sho thought she would
go ht o right away. Sho remembered that
her l ither hadn't felt very well when she
left, -ho chum Hays she cried, but I hopo It
-wasn" as bad ns that, because I nover know
hor to.
"Wl ?n tho girl was looking up n time
card, It see when' tho train left tho clerk re
jnarkci sympathotlcally that sho might tele
phone and have the message ropeated Sho
hadn't thought of that; it Was a chance to
rollcv" her feelings. She told tho telegraph
office that tho message was very Important
and l.ad beon wilfully sent astray. The
opora'ir said he could road tho copy over
the '.hono if tho lady wished and the girl
said tho did. She took hold of something
and wondered whether sho would faint. Then
the fellow read:
" 'Lennox starts. Tleleapo Watson. Lock
up your Jowols and caII k policeman.
TUB RIVALS.'
"Tho operator had the nerve to laugh.
'Can you understand nil right?' ho asked.
Tho girl hung up tho rocelver with o Jerk.
Ehe forgot to be happy about her mother
not being dead. Now sho Is living for one
thing. She wnnts to find tho man who did
it and cut him off tho list."
"Who do you think will win in tho long
run?" nskod ono of the three.
"Why, I will myself," answered the scar-let-co:ted
youth, looking very serious.
INiInu" nt Ilia Country Cluli.
Tho Country club is rnpldly losing Its
formality. This Is particularly notlcable In
tho afternoon, when tho golfers come In
from tho links and gather about the piano
for coon songs or draw their chulrs Into a
circle for stories nnd gossip. Last Thurs
day night, after tho storm had driven most
of tho pooplo back to the city, the great
lire placo In tho main room was Initiated.
The Hr.hts were extinguished and somo half
dozen members sat watching tho blazing
logs and told rtorles until midnight.
The green committee have doclded upon
the following names for the holes:
1, Plaza; 2, Longfellow; 3, Knoll; 4, Hill
top; C, llaty; fi, Terror; 7, Fortress; 8,
llccwory; 9. Home.
The collection of stolns Is rapidly grow
ing. Thero Is a rumor nlloat that a formor
Omaha man contemplates presenting tho
club with a collection which he has been
nccummulatlng for years.
Tho new nrrangomont of the pictures Is
Vory notlcable for Its appropriateness.

The attack on China has been a problem
of general Interest to tho ladles for solu
tion. Much light has bqen thrown on the

dishes are placed ou a rack In a square box
bf Kalviintzod iron nud water Is nut In a
small well nttached to tho sldo and forced'
with n pump through a tube, which is Joined
nt the top. A turbine' does tho work. Tho

SOUVENIRS OF BYGONE DAYS
Specimens of Omriia's Scrip Now Preserved
in Publto Library.
BELONG TO BYRON REED. COLLECTION
Paper to the Amount of 9110,000
Insueri In the Fifties for the
Conntriict Ion of .Venr
II ii I Id In itn.
Among the scrip In tho Byron Reed col
lection of tho Omaha public library aro
three specimens of paper money that tho
city of Omaha issued In 1857. Tho three
notes aro for $1. $3 nnd Jj nnd pledgo the
city property of Omahn for their redemp
tion In one year, with Interest at the rate
of 10 per cent. They arc very similar to
the paper money of the government In ap
pearance nnd bear the signatures of Jesse
Lowe and II. C. Anderson, who were mayor
and recorder of the city at that time.
Omaha's municipal government dates from
Mnrch, 185", when the first municipal elec
tion was held. The counclltnen and other
officers found themselves In charge of a
town that had great ambitions and limited
funds. The slender treasury of Omaha had
been emptied for the purposo of building tho
old capltol, which stood on tho grounds
now occupied by tho High school.
May 26, 1857. Councilman 0. C. Bovcy,
who nsBlstcd Major Gcorgo Armstrong In
erecting tho new capltol, Introduced and
secured the passage of a resolution em
powering tho mayor to proceed with the
erection of the new building nnd granting
him the right to uso all avallnblo city funds,
to sell lands set- nsldo for that purposo, nnd
to use the city's credit. Money camo Into
the treasury slowly, nnd, on June 23, the
mayor was authorized to sccuro platca and
have $30,000 worth of scrip Issued, after
hnvlng entered Into a contract with different
banks for Its circulation and redemption,
In August of the snmo year tho mayor
wns Instructed to Increase the amount of
scrip to $50,000, nnd Arrangements were
perfected for the circulation of tho paper
which mado the completion of tho territorial
capltol possible. Tho following men nnd
firmB received nnd protected the scrip In tho
nmounts set opposite their names: A. 17.
Wyman. $5,000; Samuel MoiTatt, $5,000; F.
M. Akin, $5",000; F. Grldley & Co., $5,000;
O. C. Moncll, $3,000; William Young Brown,
$3,000; John McCllntock & Co., $2,000.
Ilullil Hotel with Scrip.
The Farnam Street Hotel company wns
building the Herndon house, which now
forms a portion of the building on Farnam
and Ninth streets used ns headquarters for
the Union Pacific, and ran short of funds
to complete the building. All tho people of
Omaha were pleased with the enterprlso
which prompted the erection of such n
pretentious hotel and fell In with the
council's plan of Issuing $10,000 worth of
scrip to .make Its completion possible. Tho
bankers who circulated the first $50,000
worth of Omaha scrip expressed a willing
ness to circulate the additional $10,000. The
city took a mortgage on the hotel to sccuro
the loan of the money and issued the scrip
September 22.
This mado $60,000 tho city had raised by
this means. The hard times of 1857 came
on; the money market became close; the
government failed to relmburso the city for
the money spent on tho now territorial
capltol building, and tho city found itself
without means of redeeming theso obliga
tions. On December 24, 1857. an election
waa held, at which the voters authorized
the council to Issue bonds to the amount of
$57,600, with which to retire the scrip, and
in a short time the only paper money ovor
Issue by the city of Omaha was out of cir
culation. Council Hail Stormy Senxlonn.
Omaha's pioneer council had many stormy
sessions during tho first few months of Its
existence. Meetings were held almost overy
day, and more time was consumed In con
ducting tho affairs of the frontier village
of 500 people than Is required for the trans
action of the city's business since It has
Increasod In size 300 times. The members
of tho original council wero: A. D. Jones,
T. O. Goodwill, O. C. Dovey, H. H. Vischer,
Thomas Davis, William U. Wyman, William
N, Dyers, C. H. Downs and Thomas O'Con
nor. Jesse Lowe waB the first mayor of the
town; H. C. Andenson was recorder; Lyman
Richardson, assessor, and J. A. Miller was
city marshal. The construction of the new
capltol caused most of the dissension and
$110,000 of city funds was Anally invested
In tho building.
Although the scrip Issued by this council
was similar to United States paper monev
of that period, different pictures were used
for the engravings and the figures denoting
the denomination of the notes are much
larger. Over the entire surface of the
scrip the denomination of the notes Is
printed In small letters. The engravings
on the notes vary, but most of thorn contain
IndlanB and symbolize the growing west.
