Omaha daily bee., 1889-06-16
HERE AND THERE.

While the Chicago dragnet is Oeing pulleu
over the country in search of suspicious Irish
men, Omaha has been entirely overlooked,
This is not surprising, because the slcuths of
the city Of mysteries, with the assistance of
Scotland Yard, are determined to show how
little they know. The BEE is in possession
of u number of exclusive mysterious facts
and circumstances which IL cheerfully un-
loads on the public. 1t will be remembered
that delegation of Omaha councilmen went
to Chicago last March. Were there any
Irishmen in tho delogntionl The ostonsible
object Of the trip was to examine subways.
But wasn't the body of Cronin found in q
subway some weeks laterl Here are two
simple facts possessing vast possibilities.
The mon wore in Chicago and two OF them
are generally credited with Hiberniau traits
and feelings. What more is wanted! True
the doctor did not disappear for weeks later,
but what was to prevent them from return
ing and doing him up ana downa And what
is still more conclusive, these gentlemen
have not attempted TO explain their where
abouts on the evening of May 4. Chicago is
welcome to add these significant circum-
stances to its stock of clues.
It is reported on the streets that Mr..
Hitchcock will use the money derived from
his Capitol avenue property to purchase the
Herald, consolidate it with the World,
and run a morning and evening edition on
the plan of THE BEE. Another report is TO
the effect that the Herald is about to issue all
evening edition, but the latter is probably an
offshoot of tho former Advertising solicit
ors are feeling the pulse of the merchants on
the question of another afternoon paper.

Coal dealers complain that the ordinance
regulating their business is burdensome and
oppressive. Wv Coorse. 1t will materially
block their weigh to the purses of consumers.
Omaha industries are pegging along. The
coming shoe factory will improve the avenues
of salvation by giving soles an upper tend
ency.
The Omaha man who "tooK his marriage
license in one hand and his lady love in the
other' naturally attracted attention. Few
men are endowed with such remarkable
nerve and muscular development. He is
truly ithe Sampson of Omaha"
A city chemist will materially assist the
Pooh Bah of the pest house in pushing
Omaha's claims as summer resort. Be-
tween two such noted sanitary engineers the
health Of the city Is secure.
The county commissioners have about de-
termined to grace one OF the inches in the
county building with statue Of a distin-
guished citizen. The d. C. actually COM
planned that his assessment was too low und
invited raise. Such remarkable unseltish.
ness deserves the immortality OF marble.
The resubmlsson of prohibition in Rhode
Island demonstrates that Providence is on
the side of license aud regulation by large
majority.
A irreverent ass from Kansas, preaching
prohibition in Pennsylvania, pleasantly an
nounced at a recent meeting that the victims
of the Johnstown Hood had gone to
h-ll. The dash, however, followed the
word, for the i. a. paused, grabbed his hal
and flew through IL convenient window with
out stopping to remove the sash, With re-
markable skill and agility he managed to es-
cape a torrent of wrath and several sections
of succnlent rope with which the yigilantes
were armed. He saved his neck out lost his
occupation.
They have a happy knack of celebrating
marriges up in Detroit. Just as the couple
were leaving the altar there recently young
woman rushed up TO the bridegroom, pre-
sented him with a blooming baby ana deli
cately insinuated that it deserved his faith
erly care. The presentation lent peculiar
though premature halo to the scene,
and strew the church aisles with
very pertinent interrogatores. The
bridegroom biuffed the crowd and kept the
baby.
A huge narrowing cow war ragged in Fort
Dodge, Ia. last week. The attempt to rob
bossy of the free lon of the city reused the
wrath of the residents, who armed them
selves with cow-bells and like musical i'm
plcments and serenaied the aldermen
nightly until they begged for mercy. The
town is again an unobstructed pasture. and
milk aud water reigns.
Preserve that old kettle,
So weary ana worn,
II was rushed by my father
Before / was born.
1t glistens like amber,
II cheers youth and sere.
III protect that old growler
And rush 1t for beer.
From GOu Hiifs "Ob % the GroVsr."
