Capitol Lodge Handsomely Recognizes the Services of Her Past Master. An Blegant Reminder of ficient Work. A very plessant sffair, and one well worthy of being recorded, took place Mondsy evening. Aspecial mesfing of Capitol Lodge, No. 3, A. F. & A. M. was called by the master, J. H. But- ler, Esq., at which sbout forty mem- bars and visitors were present. Among other,members was Hon. S. K. Jack- won, the retiring Master, who h servedin the East™for the past two yoars, and whose successor was elect- o1 in December and Inatalled on St Johu's day. Mr. Jackson Cinrally snd well, was determined 1o recognize his services appropristely. Be- fors closing last night the secretsry, Me. W. R. Bowen, stepped forward | and presented Mr. Jackeon with s @ygnificent geld watcl,, profacing the it with the following neat address: *“WorsurruL Master—On retorn- 11g to the city this evening 1 find im~ posed upon me a duty—s pleasant task—which, incapable at avy time of porforming well, Iam now entirely anprepared for. However, my men- ner will prove a fitting foil to the bur- den of my remarks. - “There is one smong us whom in the past we have delighted to honor; ooce whom yesrs since we deemed worthy of our trast and who has more thsn met our expectations. e has raled ae our master and governed the lodge with justice and pruience: pleasant aud genial in his or, prompt, firm snd kind in the charge of duty, he way well r the commendation of “ried, truc and “Appreciating these qualities, the members of Capitol lodge have placed tn my hands this valusble sime-piece a5 a token of thelr regard for their past master, Brother Stephen K. Jackson. In conveying this besutiful gift I sssure you, my brother, that it is ac- companied by the sincere and hearty good wishes of tho donors, who hope that you may lorg live smong us to enjoy wood fellowship. May every Hek of the time-picco romind you of our enduring regard, and may its face ever record sympathotic heartbeats smong usall. In the words of Tiny Tom, “God bloes us every one,” The retiring master responded s follows: My Brorugks: 1 have not the | gusge to express tho happiness thi oeoaslon affords mo. To say that T thank you for this mark of your fa- vor and esteem would come far short cf expressing my gratitude and de- light st receiving from your hsnds this valusblo and boautifal token. But, valuable as it is, believe me, it is ot for its 1trinsic worth that T ee- team t moet, but for the assurance that it comos from the hearts of thoee who have known me long and well, and to whose socicty and friendship 1 am indebted for many of my happlest bours and greatest honor. T acoept this gift—not in honor to sny abilities or lsbors of my own—bat a3 testimony to exalted virtues you yourselves have created and sustained, and T will always cherish in my memory, the gencrous support, and encouragement ever accorded o me, not only by the members of Capitcl Lodge, but also those of our sister lodgen, who, durit g my official career were ever ready toassist in promoting a glorivus work for the elovation of Masonic virtues, in cementing more fiemly thowe ties of brotherly love and affection which unito us fnto one sacred band or society.

Omaba, Fabenars — TALES OF A TRAVELER A Coal Oil Can to Go With | A Remarkable Experience on a Union Pacific Emigrant Train. Predictions of a Big Flood Alopg With the Comet. — Mr. C. F. Driscoll, the architect, of this city, has just returned from » trip to Montans, where he spent several weeks in sight-seelng. The object of "the trip was to recuperate his faillng health, nd that object his friends will be glad to know, was fully realized. He left Omaha on the emigrant train, having been provided with a sectlon in one of the new cars. Here he was enabled to learn many things contected with overland travel, aod view the ever-varying landscape to better satlefaction thsn on any other traln. THE TRANTS that infeat these tealns are, perhs) tho worst, featato aboiit thed. All emigrant trains sre through trains, and the conductor is never seen in the oars but once during his run, when he firet takes the teain. The usual means employed by the tramp o best the road is to pay his fare out of Umaba to a few stations on the regular ex- prees, then await the arrival of the emigrat train, which he boards, and takes his quarters with the honest Smigrsath. There war a fiegto on the train, who cailed himeelf Malcolm James Evangellat Thomas Jefferson Henry Martin, who said he was sl lowed to ride irom Cheyenne to Evanston for blacking the conductor's bosts. “he train men are VERY CARELBAS Yuzon the motintati division, and do ot koep the supply of water and fuel upin the cars. One night, when the thermometer was 17 degraes below soro, the passengers had to psco the sisles of the éars to kedp from ireez- ing, there being no coal. The passen- gers had to melt snow to quench their thirst. Drlven to desperation, a few passengers called on the engineer for coal, who said hs would supply them in conslderation of Gifty cents. At this the passengers became in» cented and stormed the tevder and took sll tho coal they could carry. For forty-eight hours this condition of things continued, there being three women and two children sick in the onecar. Had it not been for a change of conductors they might have been walting antil the present time for their supplies. The passengers had to liter ally stesl wkat coal they had, repeat- edly, or freeze. Tt certainly is not known to the oficers of the road that auch is the way their patrons are treated on the emlgrant tratn PROM RAWLINS TO LARAMIE the ride was made gloomy by the Jarge number of dead cattle to bo seen, which had died from staryation; and many living ones looked though they could not survive the | wintor. At Blg Springs they had come to the depot and crawled uuder the platform for shelter, there to die of huoger. . Around esery shanty along the road could bo soen several dend esreastes of cattlo that had gono to it for sholter from the storm. A eittle man was asked what 2000 tons of hay would be worth to him at prosent: “Oh, about 2000 head of cat. tle,” wastho roply. He sald alsc that hay could be stacked for from one to one and a half dcllara per ton, and when asked why he and others did not provide their cattle with winter food to keep them from starying, he wnid it was T00 MUCH TROUBLE. to ‘feed the hay to the cattle; and daring the hay season it is not known that thenext winter will boa severe one. The fact is, that such enormous profits are made in_the cattle busi- ness that a year of heavy losses fa not folt. A man sad that some years ago ho leased 2,500 sizcep to a. youog man, and loaned him money to pay the expenses oi the first year. Atthe end of four years the young man returned to the owner $12,000 in money, and had 88,000 and a large herd left as the profits. Some men, however, are not so fortunate.
