SUCCESS EXTRAORDINARY.
Such Has Been the Business Career OF
Mr.. |. Liherman, Proprietor Of
the Great Hat, Cap, Gents
Furnishing and Mer-
chant Tailoring Es-
tablishment.
A Branch Store to be Established at
Omaha, the Liyeliest City in
the Booming West.
Enlistment,

There is an extensive mems furnishing
goods and merchant tailoring establish
ment in this city which has been a grand
success from its origin. The house re-
ferred to Is that of |. Liberman, which
was started in June 1881, on the corner
of Second avenue and Eighteenth street.
At that time there were many who
thought an exclusive gents furnishing
store would not pay in Rock Island, but
it remained for Mr. Lberman. with his
ambitions nerve and business qualilica
lions to prove to all such doubtful ones
that this establishment was Just what Rock
Island needed, and we are pleased to say
he has made it a remarkable success. On
January first, 1894. he leased the spacious
store room adjoining, which he had finely
arranged for merchant tailoring, and dur
ing January opened the finest tailoring
establishment in the three cities, with the
largest stock of the best makes, in for
eign and domestic woolens. Between fif-
teen and twenty men are steadily employ,
ed in this department. Mr.. Liberman is
a young man and has carved his own way;
commencing business less than four years
ago his success in that short time has been
remarkable. He was thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the business in which he is engag-
ed before investing as he had had five years
experience in both branches of his grow
ing business. He is thoroughly identified
with Rock Islands welfare and has mani.
Tested liberal spirit in everything tend
ing towards its improvements and
Announcements since his beginning. Mr.
Lbcrmans success is due not only to his
having the very best class of goods. but
to the possession of a nature that binds
one to him. Thoroughly posted in tht
details of his business, a genial and goo(
naturcd temperament, he numbers hi:
friends by the hundreds, and is one Of the
kind who will make friends wherever ht
may be Mr.. Liberman has during thu
past year made several visits 10 Oman,
and has become so infatuated with tina
city that he has concluded to open hat
cap and gentlemens furnishing good
store there. on January first 1885. TIL
store will be located in Creighton's block
opposite the postolfice, AMI it will be In
only exclusive furnishing goods house il
the city. The people of Omaha are 10 b
congratulated on having Mr.. Libermal
among their number at least part of tn
time, as he will probably divide his tim'
between his business here and at Omaha

BORN FOR THE STAGE.
A Fair DebRtamt with the Janausehek
CompaRy--.A Bright Little Girl
who will Make Her Mark.

Thursday night many people who were in
the theatre noticed the superb and grace
full acting of Miss Helen Rand, the lead
ing lady A reporter of the ARGUS, with
that interrogating propensity for which
his sex is noted, determined to find out
something about the fair actress his
tory, and he, as usual, succeeded. Miss
Helen Rand, in private life, is Miss Mel
lie Fleming Her parents reside in
Brooklyn, n Y, and her father is a stock
broker in the great metropolis of the east.
Miss Nellie for several years, las been a
close student in elocution. Her whole
ambition has been to become reader.
One day she went over from Brooklyn to
New York and saw DAILY, the great dra-
matte manager DAILY heard her read a
selection and said he would hire her for
some minor part in one Of his companies.
1t seems that after this Miss Fleming read
some place at which Janauschek was
present, and the result was that the mad>
anne was charmed with the wonderful
elOcutiOnary gifts of the Young
lady, and offered her the position
of leading lady i'll her company.
Miss Fleming accepted the offer and one
week ago last Saturday night she made
her debut on the stage in Chicago. She
took to the stage so naturally that no one
suspected that she was novice. She
proved an instantaneous success, and with
each performance of MY Life" she is be
coming greater Her success as an ac>
treSs is assured and if she continues in
the future as she has ia the past two
weeks she will prove one of the finest
| leading ladies on the stage. We are reli-
ably informed that Lawrence Barrett's
manager after seeing her act one night
offered her the position of leading lady
with the Barrett company and salary OF
$50 per week, but she had contract
with Janauschek TO January /, and wonlG
not break it. This new Star is loya
looking girl Her hair is blonde her eye:
blue and her complexion rosy. She has t
grace of movement that is INDISPENSABLE
and her manners of entertaining a visito
are perfection exemplified. She is ex
ceedingly we'll posted upon every topic o
the day, and can play the piano very
nicely. In fact more genial or accom-
plished young lady it is hard TO imagine
One of these bright days we expect to Sc
her appear as a dangerous rival of Mar,
Anderson, whom she greatly resembles
Miss Fleming is only eighteen years old
The American stage needs more sucl
geniuses as We hope To be able some da
to chronicle in the magnificent success o
this dawning star.

A reporter Tor the ARGUS called upon
Mrs. W, d. Ament at the Harper house
This morning for the purpose of learning
something of roller skating as a profess
sion Mrs Ament, who claims the CHAINS
pionship of the northwest rs lady roller
skater, is handsome little lady. Her
eyes are dark, and she has beautiful
head OF hair which she evidently takes
good care of. She arranges her hair in
the popular banged" style. and it adds
much to her personal appearance. The
lady gave the reporter very interesting
description of her career as roller
skater, and also some Interesting general
information,
II have been roller skater for a cou~
pie of years, said she. My husband.
Mr. W. D. Ament, is very expert on the
rollers. We have managed Kinks in all
the cities of any Importance up
to Dubuque. In Muscatine, which
is our home now, we run a
rink. In our management of Kinks
in up the river towns the floors were
mostly made of pine and they soon wore

Very much so. He went to Denver

He liked it very much and was of the

consequence Supervisor Trumble is ar
expert in the boiler and smoke stack bus
mess, and this morning his partner, MIR
Schillinger went with the committee to
see if the smoke stack could not be fixed

A MIsfAkA-

1t seems that Madame Janauschek must
have been mistaken in her assertion that
she was asked $15 for piano for two
nights in Harper's theatre. But she did
say so and the reporter asked her the
question twice in regard to this point
Only s. is charged for piano for two
nights and it is placed upon the stage and
removed by the persons furnishing it
The Madame probably misunderstood the
price, otherwise she would have had the
piano.

A Rush For Overcoats.

Yesterday Mosenfelder & Kohn, the
popular clothing dealers, announced a re
duction of per cent on all overcoats up
to January first, the consequence of which
has been n rushing trade all day today.
The small announcement of per cent
reduction with great many dealers does
not amount to very much in the eyes of
the people, but reduction. no matter
how small on the ridiculously low prices
at which Mosenfeder & Kohn have been
selling, is taken advantage of, because
the wonder with the masses has always
been how can they sell so much cheaper
than other dealers such nice clothing, all
new, and such nice and desirable styles
Not wanting to carry any heavy stock
over is what has prompted them to offer
this reduction. So all who are really in
need of an Overcoat should not lose this
opportunity of obtaining one ut bargain
