ENTERTAIN GUESTS
Greeley Club Reception New
Years Night.

Oh, my, what squeeze and jam
there was. And it lasted from s to
ii D. m. 1t was the reception at the
Greeley club New Years night. The
rush began at the very moment that
the doors were opened to the invited
guests, and 1t lasted until something
after IL O'Clock. Members of Gree
ley's great gentlemeu's club did
themselves proud and made nom
members envious OF the beautiful
club rooms, that looked better than
they ever have before, decorated in
greens and American flags.
Just inside the door the visitors
ran tie gauntlet Of handshakes be-
tween two rows Of men composing
the reception committee. These
we're j. l.. Brush, Il. N. Haynes,
Colonel White, j. W. McCreery, G.

M. B. Wheeler, John 7. Jacobs, W.
G. Wilson, Alex Ferguson, Colonel
Jones, j. S. Gale, B. q. Rienks, AL
bert Eaton and J. NJ. B Petrikin.
Once past those two lines the visi-
tor was free to enter the rooms. He
ran the chances, however, of being
stopped every few steps by some
member of the club In evening dress
who would again shake hands and
pass him on to the uext member, and
so forth until he landed in the re-
freshment room, where coffee and
other light refreshments were served.
Coffee was poured by Mrs. William
Mayher, Mrs. Eugene Thayer, Mrs.C.
Fl. Wheeler, Mrs. S. ii. Southard.
Mrs. W. II. Delbridge and Mrs. j..
S. Gale. This with sandwiches was
served to the guests by Mort Neill,
DR.. Delbridge, Will Bliss and Charles
Carter. In the main reading room
punch was served by the Misses Ada
and Ruth Brush, Florence Haynes
and Jessie Mosher.
The affair was arranged by a COM
mittee composed Of Charles E. South

under the general supervision OF

FOR SAFETY
CITY COUNCIL INvESTIGAT-
ING OPERA HOUSE.
More Fire Escapes Suggested
Other Buildings in City
Will Likewise Be
Looked After.

The awful theater fire that oc-
CURED in Chicago one week ago yes
terday has sent furry Of excitement
all over the country and everywhere
the people are looking to the safety
Of their theaters aud public build
inRs. The city council of Greeley
has taken up the matter with Man
ager W. F. Stephens Of the opera
house and an Investigation will be
made to see where the building can
be made more safe against Gre.
There is perhaps only one way that
this can be done and that is by pro-
vidins more places OF exit. The
exits row are sufficient for all prac-
tical purposes, unless In case Of fire,
and might be then IL panic didn't
sieze the audience. In that case,
very likely, many lives would be lost
even II the whole Of one side Of the
theater could be opened. Members
of the council have been considering
some points In which improvement
could be made. There are at pres
ent three exits from the theater,
the main stairway leading out on
Eighth street, narrower stairway
leading out on Eighth avenue, and
an iron stairway into the alley on
the south side of the building. There
are two doors leading out on the
landing OF this latter stairway, and
1t is suggested that another stairway
be added there. 1t is also suggested
that an opening be cut through from
the main body Of the theater to the
stairway leading out on Eighth av-
enue. There might also, some think,
be An opening cut to communicate
with Carpenter s. Townsend's law
offices, where ii would be easier to
con municate with the street. AS
further means Of safety balcony
outside the building. over the front
OF the Kemmerer Department store
with a ladder that could be let down
to the ground would be great help.
People could 60 out on this balcony
through the windows in the back
OF the auditorium or door could be
cut through there. The balcony
could also be extended over past
Carpenter & Townsend's offices to
accommodate persons escaping in that
direction. Then as a final addition
to the different places Of exit astair-
way might be constructed leading
from the stage into the alley back Of
the house. Those are some Of the
main improvements suggested by
different members OF the council.
There are also other buildings in
the city needing fire escapes that the
council will look into, but it has
not fully been decided in what way
this can be done, as so far as can
be learned there is no ordinance to
cover the matter Of fire exits or fire
escapes.
The action of the council in the
matter will be found in the regular
report OF the council proceedings.

During the delivery of the speech of

Springfield, Ills, July 6.-Thomas

and Thomas H. Tibbles, of Nebraska, ,
for vice president, were nominated by
the Populist convention here. The
names of William V. Allen. of Nebras-

vention for president, but before the
lists of states had been completed in
the roll call their names were with
drawn and Watson was nominated by
reclamation.
Former Senator Allen made good his
word that he would not enter into any
scramble for the nomination, and while
the nominations were being made he
twice instructed the chairman of the
Nebraska delegation to say that his
name must not go before the conven-
ton. In the face of this, however, he
received over forty votes.
Whether Mr.. Watson will accept the
nomination or not no one in the con-

cratic doctrine laid down by Mr.. Will
liams, the conservatives found occasion
for the first demonstration when ref
erence was made to the record of for
mer President Cleveland. All the
shackled party interest which had lain
dormant through two national conven-
tions was released as by the touch of a
trigger. The name of Cleveland was
echoed from Thousand throats. Hats,
handkerc hiefs, fans and arms waved,
delegates and spectators stood on their
chairs and the last sem hlance of order
was turned into confusion which the
convention officials were powerless to
subdue.
While the outburst was at its height
Mr.. Bryan's following attempted to
convert the demonstration into applause
for their leader. The name of Mr.
Bryan was yelled Justify, but in vain.
