As long as the house was to be destroyed it was a pity that a spectacle did not occur. At the present time the house bean famous for making the most lavish its guarded by policemen, the glass of displays at tho opera. I have never seen Mrs. Burden when she wore all her jewels or even a part of them. I pose that room was wanting. sup- the windows is broken in and the house where ?o many parties and dinners have been given only needs a jackal to bo completely horrible. The slow consump tion of Mr. Burr's house by smoke and water is like the loss of his expec tations. They were once a magnificent structure, lie lost his credit, then slow ly and without much noise the structure slowly melted away. If it had not been for Nebraska drouth and univer sal depression that is, if the times had continued as they were when Mr. Burr laid the foundations of his fortune, he would now be one of the wealthiest and influential citizens. As it is We have lost from our midst a Colonel Sellers or a Colonel Carter of Cartersville in tho person of Colonel Fredd who started the Neb raska Hedge Co. a few months ago. Colonel Fredd is a professional pro moter. He has started over ninety dif ferent companies.

Although not even Omaha has reached the metropolitan point of indifference to things calculate'1 to improve the mind and character. If it happens to have German opera all . there is of it and some other people crowd the house and listen humbly and seriously. If Omaha is going to have anything to fall back upon when she claims the homage due a metropolis from provincial towns she must drop this seriousness and be frivilous and in consequent always. Omaha has made encouraging progress in the last ten years. In this beginning of the new year it is well to take a retrospective glance at what a spirit of reform has accomplished for Nebraska's city. In the first place, Omaha has very good turn-outs handsome horses, harnesses and carriages driven by neat coachmen. In Lincoln the horses and carriages are make his very poor jokes funny enough for the gallery to laugh at. There was a time when Lincoln men did not dare to wear anything but coarse clothes.
