TANNER has published in the form
of an interview defense Of his course
as pension commissioner. In it he
says that he '.plastered Indiana with
promises last fall'' to the effect that If
Harrison was elected, more pension
money would be given to the old SOL
diers than they got from Commissioner
Black. Tanner evidently was chump
enough to believe that he ought as
commissioner, to redeem the anti-elec-
ton promises with which he so gratu-
itousIy plastered the Hoosier state.

rhs soiree musicale.

On Saturday evening last, the pupils
of the conservatory of music of this
city gave a very fine instrumental and
vocal programme for the entertainment
of their parents and friends. The ele-
gantly furnished parlors gleamrd with
light from chandeliers, shaded with
vari-colored globes, while two grand
pianos, carrying bronze statuettes and
other decorations, gave the young lady
pupils opportunity to display their mu-
steal proficiency.
The first number an overture for
Two pianos, was executed with rare taste
by Mesdames S. p. Chase, C. G. Brown,
Misses Nellie Ireland and Maggie Ga
briel, followed by ''Swiss Aria" in
excellent style by Miss Allie Hill.
Misses Maggie Gabriel, Agnes Nc
Kinley, Emma Mack and Lucy Pad
dock then sang The Bells Of Kenmare"
so sweetly as to suggest a mental pic
ture of the celebrated convent of Ken
mare and its musical chimes. The
solo part of Miss Maggie Gabriel was
most charmingly rendered and gave
evidence of promising future for this
young vocalist.
A "Valse Caprice" by Mrs. C. c.
Brown was a well-rendered piano solo,
evincing training and thoughtful ex-
preston.
Miss Mary Spangler. veritable
prodigy, then seated herself at the pi-
ano, and gave "Minuetto and Traumi-
RE, :" by Schubert and Schumann, in
a manner that would be highly credi-
bic to an older musician. The little
lady seemed to appreciate the beauty
of the composition, and her lingering
brought out the exquisite shading and
delicacy of this celebrated piece. 1t is
| justly due Miss Spangler to say, that
her effort was the gem of the evening.
Mr.. R. S. Chase gave ''Sinfonie, y
in excellent time and rythm, followed
by the skillful playing of Misses Sallie
Lynn and Nellie Ireland. To specify
the merits of these two young ladies
would be difficult, as both numbers
presented were finely rendered.
| Misses Agnes Mckinley, Emma
Mack, and Maggie Gabriel then sang
"Silver Moonlight" As vocalists these
young ladies cannot be excelled, and
the pleasure their sweet singing gave
was evident in the applause bestowed.
The welT-arranged concert closed by
skillfully played guitar solo from
Mrs. Chase and Miss Nellie Ireland,
followed by number from the Man
dolin and Guitar club composed of
and Cyrus Sprague. The young gents
filed the parlors with melody and very
graeiously responded to an encore.

A PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED,
County Commissioners Give 5000
to Aid State Development.
THE vExep JURY LIST PROBLEM.
Attorney Mahoncy's Opinion on ting
Subiect-Thc Poor Farm Report
Bids For Drug Store
Supplies.


An important precedent was established
by the county commissioners yesterday.
That body heard the request from President
George w. Lininger, of the Nebraska State
Development association, that S2)O be appro-
priated TO aid the association in developing
the state. On motion of Commissioner
Mount an appropriation of 500 from the
general fund was ordered. This example by
Douglas county is expected to invite other
counties to do likewise, and the gentlemen
OF this association are accordingly happy.
County Attorney Mahoney urged that II
the board found IL practicable TO prepare the
requisite jury list, consisting of not less than
one-tenth of the legal voters of the county,
for the coming term of the district court, IL
should be done as quickly as possible. The
board cannot, however, examine the poll
books for 1889, as the law re-
ouires that the poll books remain
sealed for one year after election.
The latest poll books which can be used are
those of 1887. III the board finds IL i'm
practicable to prepare n jury from the books
of 1887, as 1t will, undoubtedly, Mr.. Mahoney
advises that II jury be drawn under the old
act, which will remain in force until the
county commissioners shall have complied
with the provisions of the new act.
Reports from the county poor farm were
received. They cover u period of three
months, or April, May and June. A decrease
in number OF paupers occurred in April, the
SiSS
with eighty.two. Births and deaths were
tied ut one each, and an even dozen were
discharged. On June l the number had
fallen one. The next month, however, two
babes came to light in the poor house and
swelled the number to eighty-three.
In the matter of drugs, little OF interest
was developed. Owing to the fact that the
quantities of drugs required was not stated
in the first advertisement, the board decided
to readvertise, bids to be opened Saturday.,
August "a, and blank specifications to be
supplied AT the county clerks office on the
l4th inst.
BY resolution of Mr.. Corrigan, $4,000 was
ordered appropriated toward paying the city's
portion of grading l. street between Twen-
tieth anu Thirty.sixth street in South
Omaha,
Appropriations from the various funds
were ordered as follows; Road fund, 1869. IA;
bridge fund, S103,63; general fund, Sl03.O5;
hospital fund, $3.50.
Bids on grading county roads west of
South Omaha were opened and a numerous
flock of contractors was in attendance.
Awards will be made next Saturday.
