men to make passage ways on the sidewalks
at the northwest corner Of Fifteenth and
Douglas streets, Officer Arnold being de-
tailed on the Douglas street side and Officer
Fahey the Fifteenth street side. The crowd
attracted by the announcement Of the
third annual spring opening of the soda
fountain at N. A. Kuhn & Co.'S drug store
This company, which has long been in the
lead in prescription speciality, has determined
to surpass in the quality of soda fountain
drinks offered and in serving them, and
more people attended the opening yesterday
than have ever before been seen at a soda
fountain opening in this city The
reputation Of the store for furnishing first
class goods was enhanced by the securement
of the services at the fountain of A G. Mac
MahOn, formerly with ID, w. SAKE Of this
city and later on the police force, aCknowl-
edged to be without peer In the mixing of
soda drinks, and whose old friends and pa
irons fOcked down to see him and to receive
the familiar glasses by hundreds, and in
deed thousands. In front of a fountain Of
Mexican onyx, put in two years ago and the
first Of its kind in the United States, and
under a canopy of the finest solid mahogany

appropriate place an Easter lily peeped out

the thousands Of fancy and delicious draughts.
It is a show simply TO watch him FIX up a

cards or not.
To every lady patron Of the fountain yes
terday was given an elegant cut rose and
l 500 ladies went out Of the store yesterday
wearing a rose. The men did not get this com
plment, but they were just as numerous as
the women, and they, with the boys and
girls, swelled the number OF those who lifted
glasses from the counter to several thousand.
A number Of assistants were required to ac-
commOdate the thrOng.

seed potatoes for the use Of the countys poor,
though South Omaha was. by the report, con-
ceded the use of 100 bushels
Mayor Bemis, in behalf of the agricultural
commission, referred to the request which
had been submitted to the board several days
ago, asking for 1880 in the way of aid.
Already, he said, the association had had 100
applications, and would soon have several
hundred. Omaha, it might be stated con-
tributed nine-tenths of the tax passing into
the hands of the county commissioners and
the city felt ju- -ified in asking for consdera-
tion. The mayor said he had examined the
legal question involved, and had asked advice
and felt assured that the county was the
proper party to extend aid. He hoped that
no il-feeling between the city and county
on any official questions, especially on such
public question, would exist,
Mr.. Jenkins remarks of a few days ago
in reference to the appropriation by the city
for a Fourth of July celebration Mayor
Bemis said, were equaed by similar reso-
luton passed by the county ITSELF few days
before the resolution referred TO by Mr.. Jen-
kins was passed, in which the county set the
example by voting $500 for the same celebra-
tion. The mayor hoped that the county
would not fear to strain a point IL necessary,
calling attention to various acts of the COM
mlssoners in the past to justify his position
that In SO grave a matter the county should
stand by the poor.
Commissioner Jenkins called attention to
the extent to which the county had gone in
the way Of extending charity aid the past
winte:. 1t had already consumed the entire
amount Of the general fund, leaving the
county treasury penniless. And there was no
such necessity existing, he maintained, as
would justify the county in drawing on it's
credit to advance the sum asked.
Commissioner Livesey renewed his position
taken Wednesday upholding the mayor s
view. He opposed restricting the aid to the
few Of the county's poor who might apply
however he said, he would vote for the re-
port.
Chairman Williams said he objected to
placing a premium on previous poverty. as
this report contemplated since il proposed
aiding only particular class.
Commissioner Stenberg maintained that the
board in adopting the report would go as far
as it possibly could do and do justice to the
| taxpayers.
The matter was then brought to vote
and carried unanimously Several citizens
| offered to speak further but were assured by
| Jenkins and Steuberg that the board had
resolved on this course
The South Omaha Garden Farming asso-
! citation asked for 200 bushels Of seed potatoes.

committee.

to look at samples a few weeks ago are now
wiring for a visit, and claiming excellent
prospects for crops and business If the
crop should materialize Mr.. Pickens antict-
pates the biggest fall trade since 1892 and
one that in many respects will be more salts
factory than the boom of that year.
George NJ Tibbs, NJ. L. Smith Co.
Have the rains helped us? Well, | should
say they have. There is no comparison be-
tween the situation now and what it was a
few weeks ago. Now all our customers seem
to be sanguine. and they are stacking up
orders in way that is very encouraging. |
shall go to New York next week to buy
fall stocks for a big trade. and l am conf
dent that we will not be disappointed.
C. b. Hall, Kirkendal Jones & CO.-Yes,
business has been given a tremendous i'm
petus by the rains. Orders are more liberal
and prospects are much improved. We are
receiving kilograms every day from our GUS
toners asking us to send our travelling men
around, and the mail business is on the
boom. We have found only one man who
has not picked up heart since the rain. He
wrote us that 1t had rained so much where
he was that he could not get out to collect,
consequently he would have to have a little
more time on his bill
Rector -Wilhelmy company-While it is a lit
tie too soon for us to derive much actual bene-
fit, we cannot help but notice that there is
a much improved feeling The last week
has shown a decidedly more liberal tendency
on the part Of the retailers, and If the pres
ent prospects continue the Omaha jobbers
will be very much in it.
DOUBLING ORIGINAL ORDERS.
Lee-Clarke- Andreesen Hardware Company
We are doing a big business and can say
that the rain has impaired a decided strength
to the trade, OF course it is too early to say
Just what per cent of our trade is due to the
wetting. but the general feeling is improved
so per cent and the retailers are feeling bet
ter than ever before. Many of our customers
are supplementing their original orders The
retailer who thought he could use about two
rolls of wire netting a month or two ago is
ordering more than as much again, and we
are receiving kilograms every day hurrying
US up on shipments. Every letter we get
now assures us that the prospects are excel
lent. and we expect continued improvement
q, T, Lindsey, rubber goods-This is be-
tween seasons with US, but we notice a ma
terial improvement in every respect. Re
tailers are more liberal in their orders, and
it is evident that they are feeling very
sanguine. The rain has improved the pros
poets for the fall trade immensely. Our
men are most of them In waiting to go out
with the fall lines, but those who have made
a trip report a wonderful improvement in
the situation.
f. b. Branch, fruits and commssion-Our
business is much improved. This Is partially
due to the arrival OF southern fruits but a
better feeling is indicated by the increased
liberality of our orders J1 The retailers are
feeling confident and that is the all i'm
portant thing. NC

Return of Spring tstin in Court.


NEW YORK, April a1St-(SpeCial) Judge
Beekman has passed upon. a motion made in
the damage suit of Boussbd against Patrick.
in which $50 900 is asked on account of the
destruction Of the picture, "The Return
Of Spring" by the French artist,
Bougereau. The incident occurred in Omaha
several years ago, while the Omaha Art
Exhibition association was holding e1hibi-
tiOns, and WhaIburtOn threw a chan through
the canvas The suit against Robert Patrick
and ]. n, II. Patrick was brought on the as
sumption that the association was unincor-
porated, but the answer Of the Patrcks, who
are wealthy Omaha people and were the
main upholders OF the exhibition, brought out
the fact that the association had been duly in
corpOrated, and so the stockholders would be
liable only to the extent of their stock An
amendment Of the petition has been allowed
attacking the validity Of the incorporation.
Robert Patrick said that he considers that
there is no question but what the incorpOra- .
tlOn was made strictly according to law in
all respects, The trial may occur in few
