TENDERLOIN TO REOPEN.
Ootban's Famous Wicked Section to Be Run
oa a WideOpen Polcy.
New York, Dec. 31.—Unusual'
tivity in the Tenderloin region served
as a reminder to those who strolled
that way today that a change in the
administration of Greater New York
was at hand. Notorious resorts that
have been closed during the Low ad
ministration have been returnished and
redecorated and otherwise prepared
for a grand opening. When Trinity
chimes ring in the New Year tonight
and also the first day of the adminis
tration of Mayor McClellan and his
Tammany associates there will be cele
brations and festivities in the region
about Twenty-ninth Street and Broad
way which promises to put all past
performers in the shade.
The Haymarket, it is said, will shine
again in all its glory and the Tivoli,
Berlin and other resorts of a similar
character that have been dark or at
least subdued for months past will
throw open their doors. Most inter
esting of all the reports current today
is one to the effect that there will be
a re-opening of the Empire, in West
Twenty-ninth Street. This place has
been closed ever since a waiter' named
Tobin murdered Captain Craft there
and hid his body in the cellar after be
heading it and casting the head into
the furnace. It is said the resort will
be reopened under the management of
James Gilmore. an ex-convict.
Whatever the truth may prove to b®
in regard to these rumors, the impres
sion is general in the tenderloin that
there will be no police interference
with the proposed gayety. One old
tenderloiner, who has been through
previous reform eras, voiced the gen
ral sentiment today when he said:
The last election meant that the peo
ple of New York wanted the old times
back, and if they do it's the duty of
the officials to give it to them. If the
other side had won nobody would have
thought of opening up."
STONE RIVER VETERANS.
Shelbyville, Ind., Dec. 31.—Survivors
of the battle of Stone's River, (Tenn.)
met here today to revive memories
and swap stories of the famous conflict.
hich was fought forty-one years ago
today. The occasion of the gathering
is the fourth annual reunion of the as
sociation composed of the veterans
who took part in the engagement. A
two day's programme has been arrang
ed. A majority of the 600 members of
the association are present and several
noted speakers will be heard at the an
nual campfire tonight. -V

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 31.—J. A. Rader
of Nemaha County has produced the
largest crop to the area thus far re
ported in Nebraska. A part of one of
his fields husked out ic6 bushels to the
acre of white corn.
A farmer 011 Buffalo County uplands
says the corn in his county has not
yielded more than two-thirds of what
was promised before it was damaged
by the September frost. Farther up the
Platte River in Dawson and Lincoln
Counties the harvest is said to be
worse than this.
Some of the corn in the vicinity of
North Platte is so chaffy and in such
poor' condition that it is hardly worth
more than one-third by measure of the
value of good corn, and the yield by
measure was greatly reduced by the
premature shrinking of the ears as a
result of the early and unusual col$
weather in the fall.
INVITED THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, Dec. 31.—Senator For
aker has extended to the president an
invitation to attend the Cincinnati
musical festival, which is to be held
next May. The president said it would
afford him great pleasure to be pres
ent during the festival but as yet it was.
too early for him to say positively
whether he would be able to attend.
He promised, however, to notify the
senator later of his decision.

THE PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION.
Official Life In Washlncton WIN B* day To
•nrrow—Will See the PreaMaot
Washington, D. C., Dec. 31.—As is
usual on this day of the year all Wash
ington, officially and socially, is agog
in anticipation of the president's New
Year reception.
The arrangements, as announced at
the White House, today, will follow
closely the programme of previous
years. The function will begin at 11
m., when the president will receive
the members of the cabinet and the
diplomatic corps. The line of foreign
diplomats will be led by Count Cassini.
the Russian ambassador, who became
dean
vof
the diplomatic corps on the
death of Lord Pauncefote. Mexico,
the only Latin American nation send
ing an ambassador to Washington,
stands second in rank and the Mexican
ambassador will be followed by the
representatives of Italy, Austria-Hun
gary, France, Germany and Great
Britain in the order named.
After the diplomats will come the
judiciary, members of congress, offi
cers of the army, navy and marine
corps and the long list of district of
ficials and minor functionaries of the
various government departments who
take precedence over the general pub
lic. It will probably be 12:30 before
the "common people" are admitted'to
the presence of the chief executive and
as the line usually begins to form as
early as 10 o'clock in the morning it
is plain that many are in for a long
wait. The president will simply bow as
each visitor is presented to him and
xtraordinary precautions will''be tak
en to insure his safety. Secret ser
vice men will closely scrutinize each
person in line before he reaches the
president and any person whose looks
or actions arouse suspicion will be
quietly ejected. hj

MINNESOTA KIN&.
London,' Dec. 31.—A writer, ip The
St. James Gazette, discussing the per
sistent rumor that the Servian king is
about to abdicate because he is disap

CATTLE SCAB.
Bismarck Tribune: Hon. L.
son and J. W. Goodall of Dickinson were
in the city today consulting with Gov
ernor White regarding the prevalence of
cattle scab. The state live stock associa
tion has recommended the names of per
sons for special inspectors and it is
hoped to have them appointed after
the first of the year. In the organized
counties it is possible that the counties
will build central dripping tanks, one for
each 5,000 head of cattle and in the un
organized counties the stockmen them
selves will bear the expense of building
tanks. In this way it is hoped to combat
the disease.
