Elegant Decorations.


~. The beautiful residence OF General G.
M. Dodge on Third street, which is now
occupied by the generals brother, N.
p. Dodge, has long been known as one
OF the palaces of the city, where it was
scarcely possible for any improvement.
But the fine old place has received
!. some artistic attention, during the past
few weeks, that has made marked inn
,proyement. The greater part of the
work has been devoted to the
front entrance and main hall
way, and it is now perhaps the
finest in the city. The artist has
: used but two colors, gold and white, and
i the effect is beautiful. The two colors
are we'll known to be the most difficult
to combine and produce an effect that
will not be garish and cold, but the
hrtist has accomplished the feat and
has given softened and pleasing ef-
feet that cannot be described. The fig
ures seem to stand out like they were
skillfully carved out of the wall itself.
w The frieze is thirty inches deep and
Is a beautiful work Of art. The design
is simple one and the figures have
ample background. In the light that
comes through the doorway the CLINT of
the gold is just marked enough to at
tract attention but it must be brilliant
in the blaze of the chandelier at night
The beauty OF the work is its simplicity
and its perfect harmony, that kind Of
harmony that grows pleasing i'm
preston upon the beholder the longer
he looks at it.
THE BEE reporter could scarcely have
been convinced that the splendid effect
Gould have been produced by the skill
full manipulation OF pressed paper, of
less cost even than lincrusta walton,
II the artist who did it, Mr.. p. G. Miller,
had not been present and pointed it
out. The work reflects the greatest
credit upon Mr.. Miller, and upon the
people Of Council Bluffs who demand
!, such work as he is capable of doing.
There are few such artists as Mr.. Mil
Ter in any city, and 1T is not remarkable
that he is SO popular with the people
who love to have beautiful homes. nor
less remarkable that he should have the
control OF the papering and decorating
IN the city.

AID FOR THE SUFFERERS.

The meeting at Boyd's opera house
last night evidenced the determination
OF the people of Omaha to give substan-
tial aid to the homeless victims of the
Conemaugh flood. No disaster in our
time appeals so strongly to the gener-
osity of the people. There is no time
for wasting words in thrilling appeals.
The story of the havoc told every day
in the dispatches is sufficient to induce
every man, woman and child to contrib
ute according to their means TO relieve
the distress in the valley of death.
Omaha cannot afford to lag in the
rear in this great work OF humanity.
She has given generously to the suffer-
ers by fire and storm. Her purses were
loosened and the contents lavishly
poured out when Chicago wept amid
her ruins. The victims of the great
blizzard were literally provided for,
and the unfortunates of the grasshopper
plague were relieved by the prompt as
sistance of charitable people. The sur
vivors of the Johustown floods are the
wards of the people. All that they pos
sessed has been swept away. Family,
friends, fortune, have gone down
in the besom of a destructive torrent.
They are houseless and helpless, naked
and hungry, with nothing left to
Tighten their overwhelming sorrow.
Plaques and pestilence threaten to fol-
low in the wake of the flood. Bowed
down with unspeakable grief, they are
in no condition to resist disease. They
need instant succor to save from dispair
and death. They need cash, not long
range sympathy.
Every man in receipt of wages, every
professional man and merchant, every
family can afford to give trihe and
swell Omaha's contribution to credita-
bile total

A FEW FIGURES.


Mr.. Hitchcock was very careful, in
his issue of Tuesday, to avoid con-
temptation of the figures given by THE
BEE, which show positively that this
paper has over six thousand paying city
subscribers in given territory to the
Worlds twenty-eight hundred odd pa
pers, large proportion of the latter
being delivered on trial. Our figures
are taken from a census just about COM
pleted and are absolutely correct.
Mr.. Hitchcock figures out that the
total circulation of his paper exceeds by
about 200 the total circulation of THE
EVENING BEE. In this estimate he in
cludes his entire exchange list, his cir
culation at Council Bluffs and hundreds
of papers that lie unsold on the coun-
ters of newsdealers in every village in
the state. When he deals with for
eign advertising agents he claims to
have u circulation of three or four thou
sand outside of Omaha, and when he
deals with the merchants of Omaha, he
claims that all his circulation is in this
city. Whom does he victimize in his
chants of Omaha who are familiar with
the sharp practice.
On the other hand when he computes
the circulation of THE EVENING BEE,
which notoriously is entirely in the
city and is not used as an exchange with
other papers, he carefully omits The
SUNDAY BEE, which also covers the
fol uh nd in
addition very large field that he can
never hope to cover? Why does he not
incorporate THE SUNDAY BEE in his
daily average. as he does THE SUNDAY
WoRLD2 Where would he land in such
comparison? In fact, whore would
his baking powder mark" be if THE
SUNDAY BEE, with its eighteen to
twenty thousand paid subscribers was
placed as set-otf against his alleged
circulation of papers strewn promiscu-
ously in peoples yards and scattered
broadcast over the country
We have stated, and we repeat that
in given territory within the limits of
Omaha in which THE BEE delivers by
carrier over six thousand of its dailies,
Mr.. Hitchcock scatters promiscuously
for pay and on trial less than twenty
nine hundred dailies. We have the
name of every subscriber, and will
present them in due form at the proper
time, il he insists on an exhibit.
In this connection it might be we'll co
observe that while the three other
dailies of Omaha have been throwing
their papers. rig ht aud left, securing the

with an average depth OF twenty-four
feet, and furnished reserve supply OF
water for FIVE factory towns. Four viii
lagos were swept away by this flood,
two hundred lives lost and one and a
half million dollars worth OF prop
erty destroyed. 0fT
No flood sinceiNoah's time has boen
so destructive of life as the Johnstown
disaster.
The Conemaugh reservoir served no
good purpose. IT was the retreat OF
sports, the pleasure ground OF idleness.
For seven years it stood like the shadow
OF death over the valley, and no
measures were taken to remove the con-
stantly increasing danger.
1t is useless to speculate now on what
might have been. The harm is done,
the ruin is complete and irredeemable.
No amount OF post mortem Indignation
can tighten the awful gloom OF that re-
gion or relieve the crushing sorrows OF
the saved. Parents can not be restored
to their children or children to their
parents. The ruined homes can be
restored and repeopled, the factories
and stores rebuilt, and the thrift and
picturesque beauty of the valley restored
by the mellowing hand of time, but the
story of death and destruction will ever
remain lamentable record OF mans in
difference to surrounding dangers.

Cataarh TO Consumption.

Catarrh in It's destructive force stands next to

therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make 1t the object OF
their lives TO rid themselves of 1t. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the conf
dence of the great majority of sufferers In all
advertised remedies They become resigned to
a life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful paliaJiyes

The recent defeat OF the Mormons at
Ogden has aroused the saints to prevent the
possibility of any such occurrence in the
coming municipal election at Salt Lake.
They do not propose to be caught mapping

newly arrived converts from the old world,
and by the interest suddenly taken in poll

it effectively.
The prospects for the early admission of
Idaho TO statehood are seriously embarrassed
by the preponderance of Mormon voters
over the gentle population. The balance of
power of that territory is virtually in the
hands of the Mormons, and they have die
tated more than once the choice of delegates
to congress. In the event of constitutional
convention, there is little doubt that the
Mormons would attempt to capture it and
color the constitution for the proposed state
to their own liking. The situation is an un-
fortunate one, and Idaho had better make up
her mind to face II.

THE first practical steps toward state
hood have been taken in Wyoming.
Governor Warren has issued a procla-
nation calling for an election. to be
held the first Monday in July for dele
gates to constitutional convention.
The convention will meet the first week
in September, and the result of its
labors will be submitted for rejection or
ratification at the November election.
There is widespread disposition
among the people to set aside partisan
ship pending the statehood campaign,
which may last Il year or two, and pull
together as a unit for the boon of home
rule and equal rights. BY this plan
they will not antagonize the great par
ties and secure greater consideration
