A Powerful Rival to the Pow= er of the Railroad Dictator. A Gap of 150 Miles Only to Protect the Monopolist. On the occasion of the recent visit of the magnates of the Wabash rail- way to this sity, Tug BeE made pub- lic some very importent news, which was seppressed in the morning papers but was nevertheless telegraphed to Chicagn, where it was recognized as suthentic and relisble. The Council Bluffs Nonpariel affected to treat the whole matter with contempt, and to view it in the light of a canard, but the following from the Chicago Tiri- bune will et #ll doubts at rest: The recent snnouncement that the Wabash meant to make its terminos at Omaha and build a depot there, is taken s a sura indication that Gou'd still runs the Wabash. Gould has al- ways been anxious to force the roads terminating at Council Bluffs to make their terminus at Omaha, end refused to ran_the Union Pacific to Coun- o Blaffs to connect with those rosds there until compelied to doso by the courts. He now thinks that runnivg the Wabash direct to Omsha will com- pel the other railroads to BEATEN PATHS ARE DIFFICULT TO ABANDON. For yeas the current of fashiona- ble shopping in Omaha has contered in the vicimity of Thirteenth and Fourteenth and Faroham streets, epreading very little to the north or south, But beaten paths must sometimes be departed from, or NEW PATHS would never be cpened. Ladies sre beginning to discover that there is no special virtue in any particular street or neighborhood, but that excellence and cheapness are as easily obtainable on TENTH AND JACKSON STS. as on the more fashionable avenues of trade.

If ke could succeed in accomplishing this, it would be worth millious to him, and result in a corresponding loss to the Jowa lines. Gould, as is well known, owns the Omaha bridge, for the use of which he charges very bigh tolls. On Colorado and Nebragka business, how- ever, he can charge no tolls, as he has to compete with the lines running to Nebraska and Colorado via Platts- mouth, Atchison, Kaners City, ete. 1¢ he could compel the Towa lines to croes over to Omaba, he could charge them the high bridge tolls on this class of business, as the Union Pacific then would make rates to Omaha only, instead of to Council Bluffs, There is pot _the least likelihood that Gould will be sble to bulldoza the Towa lines to cross over to Omaha, as in about three months they will be able not ovly to divert their business for Colorado and Nebraska from .he Union Paci but they will slso be le to divert the Pacitic business by connecting at Atchison and Kansss Ciy with the Atchison, Topeka & anta Fe, which is about to connect with the Southern Pacific in New Mexico, thus giving another equally good s line to_the Pacific coast as the one via the Union Pacific. The above together with the ap- pended article from the same source would indicate sarcly that the move angounced by TuE BEee ahead ofal other papers in the Union will take place perforce and that at a very ewly day. 1t will be remembeted that Mr. A. N. Towne, generalman- ager of the Ceatra! Pecificand Soutk- ern Pacific railcoads paseed through Omsha on Monday e-enng, earoucz to New York. At Chicago he was joived by Mr. W. B, Strong, geveral manager of the At chison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Mr. Stabbe, gener 1 freight agent of the hern Pacific, and Mr. 4, general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa. The fact of these officials making the trip east together would at once con vince one conversant with railroad affurs that some importaut move was under way. This object be Tribune claims is to put an end to Guld’s monopoly on the Pacific busi ness. They will, it is 8aid, make ar- raugemen's for the juncton of the Atchiscn, Topeka & Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. The Atchi- <0, Topeka & Santa Fe is now within 50 miles of the South:rn Pacific, and as both are working night and day to il the gap, 1t is expected that the union will be periecied by the 1st of Jaunary. The point of junction is to be decided when the mansgers of the wo roads meet in New York, As far bo learned the managers with the utmost harmony and the Southern Pacific people are raid to be rejoicing »t the prospect of getting a route which will enable tnem to escape Goulds dictation and exactions. The vew Pacific route will he about 300 miles longer to San Francisco than the Union Paeific, but (his will count for nothing when the fact ds taken into consideration that the mew route is much more available, is pot troubled from severe anows and h avy weather in the winter, and bas much easier grades. Toe new live will be much shorter than the old one to points in Arizona and Southern California, and this businees will all be diverted from the old route to the new one. The near completion of the new Pacific compet- itor mo doubt accounts for Gould's present ativity in extending the Wa- bash and olker s controlled by him to connections with his Union and Kansas Pacific routes.

Heart Aches and Tears Gener- ated by Ill-Ventilated Cel- lars and Decaying Garbage. Prevention Must Begin at Home—A Warning from the Pulpit. There is no more important subject to be considered by the people of Omaha than that of the sanitary con- dition of the city in which they live. Last winter and spring an unusual mortality was predicted for the sam- mer, and a feeble attempt made by the city authorities to put the streets and alleys in better condition. It is unnecessary, however, to say that the sttempt was an utter failure, Not only - common observa- tion, but the sad experience of many families, from the lowest to the highest will bear testimony to this statement. Tk BEE baa already had much to say on the subject, and it isa vital one to every cne of the 30,600 people who compose our popu- lation. Our death rate for the sum- mer months was not only beyond all previous {experience, but exceeded that of such citles as New York, Phil- adelphia, Chicago and St. Louis On Sandsy last Rev. A. F. Sherrill, of the Congregational church, deliver- ed a discourse on the subject, which was listened to by a large audience; and which we believe is of sufficient importance to reproduce. It should be read by everyone and its solemn lessons 1sid to hesrt. Haviog an- nounced his subject, the unusual amount of sickness and death in our city, Mr. Sherrill announced his text: tes 4-7.—“A time to There has prevailed the past and does yet an unususl amount of sicknes and mortality in our city. Itisa cominon remark of our physiciane, ‘There never was be- fore 8o much and so often fatal sick- nesa ” The National Board of Health Bulletin, for on> week in July rates OUE MORTALITY higher than avy other important city in the United States, and generally the past season, among_the highest A statement of the nuuiber now lying sick, workin d, children or wholo families ailing, besides the actual mortality wou'd hardly be be- lieved, nor do the many attendant forms of cost, suffering, and trcuble need to be enumerated. The ques tion becomes an important one, Whether this is all Providence and bayond cur contrel, or s the responsi- bility and remedy elsewhere? A cele- brated lecturer here, sometime ago, made the distinction between - one who dier, *‘by the will of God,” or, “because of rotten potatoes in the cellar.” There have been at times, unfavorable atmospberic’ cond-tions. Yet not such as at all to_account for our past and presel For the first thing of all to observe is, wehavehad no plague or epidemic, but tuch diseases prevailing, as arise from local causes: diphtheria, agus, malarial and typhoid fver. Iwill mention some of these c.uses: rise, especially tensive ditching, for the water-] ge First. It is not much use nor hard ly in place, as I will show further on, £ rise up avd abuse the city couneil. Second, To move out to Banscom Park. This isan eil, in our midst, t0 be met and remedied. And, first of all, we ought, every- one, to give more care, to the ardm::ly laws of health, ss respects dress, food, ventilation, work, snd so on. A thorougnly healthy person has a vast repellant power, to all diseases. One year when all his neighbors were com- plaining of drought, insects, &e., 8 q00d farmer, who was cutting fall crops, said to me, I keep my land in such condition, those things effect it butlittle,” _ Second—Every man onght to make it his immediate duty and first business to effectually abate evury nuisance, about his own yard and alley. He owes it to his family, his neighbors, and all the city. It is worse than mis. take, it is crime, net todo it. This is a personal daty, spart from any statute or marshal. g;any owners of tenant-houses ought to make changes in them and the grounds, and deliver the occupants, not able to go else- where from their present condition, in which disease and death is inevitable. Wo could thus ourselves, mako great and very desitable changes In our city. ird—The part, for our city offi- cers wou'd be clearer to them. I suppose we have the worst keptistroets and by-ways of any city in the west. What fnconvenience, _mortification and danger do we not euffer. But, in the great majority of cases, the public ways aroin no worse condition than private yards and alleys. How many citizens are in shape to go and COMPLAIN OF THEIR NEIGHBORS, or prove tc the city officers thereis a general sentiment requiring them to do better. They are not educatort They never go beyond public opifiion, and a8 yet, there is next to no public opinion or pride in this city npon the cubject. But it_is time to begin to creste it. Weo have lived, in this way, loog enough. Let us take care of ouf own sards, tront and rear, cess-pools, al- leys, and then if he does not look af- ter what remains, and heed the sug- gestions of the city physician, we shall be in a condition to spesk to him. But I think he will. I will mention.only one more, and chief of all— CITY WATER WOBKS AND SEWERAGE. They must go together. So New York recuced her death rate by pour- ing in the pure Croton, and giving it & B _delivorance at the lower end of the island. Only 50 can we clore thoss dreadful creeks, make the sfreets and houses of this city wholesome to man, woman and chiid, and keep up with the common civilization of the century. Our city is prosperous in many re- spects, and we are all glad for that. In the matte.s mentioned to-night, however, we are suffering from most seriously, both at home and abroad. We have a common interest and duty to do better, and to begin at once. Tho speaker closed with some refer- ence to the moral bearings of the above, and to God's great compassion upon us, even when He does not avert the penalt'es of His broken laws. He algo offered “‘s0 much apology as may ba fitting for bringing this _topic into the pulpit. It seemed a time to speak,your awn wells need more atten- tion those of Jacob, your own streets and homes as much care as those of Jerusalem.” ———— MICHIGAR SWEET CIDER. Witus M. Yares.

Third—There are, over our clty, nu- merous staguant_ponds, full of filth, decay, poison. Cows drink at them, and go home to be milked; children play beside and in them; ducks keep them stirred up, while day and night malarial gases are rising from them and wafted to every part of the city. The two open and unsightly North and South creeks are worse yet.

Where deaths from diptheria or fever have occurred, the physicians have found pipes leading from horrible cess-pool directly inlo the kitchen, and through their open throats breathing in death, They usually do not need to go off the premises to find resson_enough for all the trouble. I think I have given sufficient to now say: Ourpast and present is not to be referred to “mys- terious Providence,” nor remedied by “fasting and prager.” It is ‘‘rotten potatoes in the cellar.” Children have been slain as plainly as if you had went in and stabbed them.” Strong men are lying helpless for most visible reasons, Bodies, large and small, lie on yonder hill which ought to not to b ‘there, and the end is not yet.
