A Fine Restaurant.

While in Omaha yesterday we were
shown through Rome Miller's fine res
taursnt at 1420, Douglas street. Mr..

In the room there are thirty tables, all
furnished with the finest and most
costly China and Silver ware. That
the people Of Omaha appreciate Mr..

1.-TWO sweethearts of Mine"
This song was received by us
from the publishers q few days
ago, and the melody and words
were SO melodious and pretty that
we cannot help but reprint the
chorus for our readers.
CHORUS.
One has hair of silvery gray,
The other just like gold,
One is gay and youthful
While the others bent and old.
But dearer than life are both to me,
And from neither would part,
One is my mother, God bless her 1
love her,
The other is my sweetheart.
