BrrLINGTON, SoUTHERN Kas,, Oc- tober 27, —Your correspondent arrived at this peautiful city of 3,000 inhabi- tants on September 23. Burlington is the county seat of the crack county ot Coffey, and lies 305 muies south- west of Omaha, and 100 from Kansas City, It was sottled in the border ruffian times, about 1856, by stalwart enstern men, who besides stocking it with churches and first-class schools have made it commercially an impor- tant and wealthy place. A large amount of business is done in the usual departments of trade. Burling- ton is situated at the confluence of Rock creck and Acosha river, both streams aro bordered with abundant timber, and the Acosha affords a con- stant water power. There is abundant building stone on hand, and nearly the whole city is built up of stone and brick. A very striking feature to an Omaha man is the magnificent condition of the streets, made of the yellowest stone of the neighborhoud, they are as if macademized, quite level, yet perfect- ly smooth and hard. Mud stands no chance whatever, The surrounding country is the rich prairie, much the same as No¢ braska, and corn is king. This is the year of drought to Kensas, crops will average one-half, I saw some splendid corn-fields, the stocks ten and twelve feet high, but the others alongsideyield nothing. Hay was a good crop; wheat light; po- tatos almost a dend failure, but high gricu will help out; white corn rought last year twenty-five cents. I saw it selling freely in Burlington at seventy cents per bushel. All the way from Kansas City to Burlington were painful sights of the drought; it was one dcsest, nota grown thing to be seen. A simoon was sending its hot blasts from the south, and the dust in the cars wae almost intolerable. From some ob- servation, and prior visits to the state, T am inclined to think that Kansas is more subject to extremes of seasons than Nebraska; either drought or rain are in excess when Nebraska is getting a smaller tasto of the same this season. Our State has suffered this year, but not near so much as our sister State. On the other hand the soil of the two States and general characteristics are the same. There was no rain m Kansas to speak of from June until the latter part of September, when a rainfall be- gan and has continued until now; the change is marvelous, reminding one of spring rather than fall; the lawns have become green, pastures are booming, and fall wheat is six inches high. One of the notables of Burlington is Hiram McAllister, who was with John Brown in border ruffian times. His description of these troublesome times, part of which he saw and part of which he was, is graphicand thrill- infi, McA. was chosen to the danger- ous task of smuggling Sharp’s rifles into Topeka, where two parties claim- ed to be the legislature. The arms were stowed between false bottoms in two lumber wagons. Twice he was intercented by officers in search of these very arms; once while the officers were queationirg the man and examinging his truck, Jehn Brown himself rode rapidly past toward To- peka. Of course no one knew him. McAllister took things easy, lit a big pipe to smoke, and by his coolness saved his guns which the next day were in the hands of the free party. Mr. McAllister carries to-day a bullet which was fired into his back by a traitor negro whom Mc ‘supposed he was saving from pursuing enemies, For Western Eyes. A writer in a recent issue of The Art Amateur hasan article upon the bogus picture trade in New York city, He says: ‘‘In Levy's place tho pic- tures are not hung upon the wall. It would require a large house to furnish wall space enough to hang all Levy’s pictures. Instead of this, they are ar- ranged in huge piles about the com- modious store-rooms untramed. 'I'he would-be purchazer is shown whole sets of these atatime in a standing frame, Pictures are sold here accord- ing to their size, and not according to merit, as they arc all believed to pos- sess an equal amount of that. Levy regards pictures with a commercial eye solely, and if you inquire of him the price of his goods he will at once ask you the size you want, and this makes you feel as if he was ubout to produce a tape-line and take your measure. ‘‘We have them,” he will say, from 65 cents up to “‘Does this include the frames you ask in innocence, and you arc rather surprised when he answers that the frames cost more than the pic- tures, for when you find that the pic- tures are made by the yard ycu feel as though the frames should be made Scenes on the Hudson with staring palisades and impossible clouds, pictures of sheep and cows feeding near brooks that start in the clouds and come vertically down the middle ot the canvas, sre the favor- ites just now. ‘‘Thereisa great de- mand for ‘these pictures out West,” you will be told, *‘where the taste for art is rapidly improving.” Levy's establishment is generally full of cus- tomers, and the Lands of its proprie- tor, to say nothing of his pockets, are full algo. ~ It is said that some years ago Levy used to s mild, modest in- dividual, who worked side by side with his men. Now, however, since “‘the taste for art has icreased in the West,” Levy is a changed man. He has a sharp resomant voice, and i swaggering, brazen air, as if he him self was the bassoon of the huwan or chestra, ‘‘Tell Carlo to put gome more trees on them palisades!” he shouts to one of s men, and at the time points to a stack of three feet by two cf pictures representing the pali- sades about to topple over into the Hudson. A customer, who came in while the writer was there, wanted the names of eminent artists attached to the pictures had he purchused. **That'll be extra!" said Levy, with au insinu- ‘n'inq smile. “‘Oh, that's all right,” said the customer, “‘only put on the names of them eyecathan fellers,” Up a rickety flight of stairs 1s the attic, and here are the rooms where the pictures are made. Do you re- member the gaudy paintings you must have scen in restaurants adjoining railway stations! The flocks of shag- gy sheep and the obese cows rambling beneath incrodable brooks flowing over their sources’ They were painted in this attic, or, if not, then in some place of thie character. Here there 18 no romance, The artists sit about the three small rooms in the front of the garret and work like beavers, They have the knack of the brush and the maul-stick, and they keep the “pot boiling,"" so to speak. Here isa marine picture on the easel of the nearest man as you enter The ship in the background seems to have par- taken of the vim and energy of thear- tist, and skims the waves with no*lag- gard prow. But the penant at the fore is streaming one way and yet her sails are boomed out in just the other direction, It is unfortunate that the artiat in his haste to complete the pic- ture has overlooked the fact that the wind never blows ints of tie compas: the same ‘Is that 80/ he says when his attention is called to the fact, “Oh, they don't mind little things like that out. West!” On the broad beach in the foreground are strewn eurprisin. kinds of seaweeds, and climbing over the rocks are red lobsters! But what of that? If they don’t object out West to the wind being represented as blowing from opposite directions in the background, surely they will not object to boiled lobsters crawling over the rocks in the foregreund! A nota- ble thing about these ‘‘commercial!” artist is their * preforence for large brushes, such even as are used by housepainters. Their rapidity is not less noteworthy. They literally ‘‘sling” the paint on. One would think that Levy, with his immense business, grown from the smallest beginnings,would be a happy man. Such, however it scems, 18 not the case. He has a rival who has es- tablished business in Church street, where he does & business in *‘bogus’ pictures that bids fair to exceed in magnitude that of the ambitous Levy. But this 18 not all. This rival played a trick on Levy some years ago, by which the latter was induced to pay a good price for what he terms very in- ferior pictures. In other words the rivalgucceeded in *‘out-bogusing” tho clever Levy, to coin an expression for this particular case. It seems that Levy, while sitting in his little tront office one morning, was accosted by a stranger, who told him he had bought alot of pictures on speculation, but was in need of money, and desired, thorefore, to get rid of them. Levy looked searchingly at the stranger, who seemed to be of a timid, retiring disposition. = His clothing, no two ar- ticles of which were of the same color, appeared to have been purchased and put on a few hours before, a fact more directly established by the clothes dealer’s ticret which still adhered to his coat collar. He s2emed to be sim- plisity personified, and Levy, after telling him that the market was very Qull and pictures sold very slowly and only at small figures, asked him what he wanted for his goods. Tho stranger undid the cords that held together a bundle that he carried under his arm, and displayed a great bundle of pic- tures. ‘‘These,” said he, ‘‘are only samples. I have several humdred of them which 1 wish to sell.” Whatdo you want for them,” demanded Lovy. *‘What'll you give!” asaed the strang- er. “What'll you take?' returned Levy. After they had repeated these questions several times, the st@nger admitted that he knew but little about pictures, but, as he must sell them he would let them go at a dollar and a half apiece. They were the same size for which Levy asked 82. “I'll give you a dollar apiece for them,” said Levy. “It's very litile,” said the stranger, ‘‘but I'll take it.” That af- ternoon a truck arrived with several huudred pictures similar to the sam- ples shown by the stranger, and the money was paid over. It was some time afterward that Levy discovered that the pictures he had purchased from the atranger had been made with stencils and touched up with a brush! In reality they were worth about ten cents apiece. Then Levy discovered that thy same man was underselling him in the market with his own pic- tures. Theso stencil pictures are made jn great quantities and sent West, where there is a large demand for them on account of their cheap- ness. It is only by careful examina- tion that they can” be distinguished from the ordinary cheap-painted pic- tures, and if the parts where the sey- eral different stencils join have been carcfully painted over with a brush it 18 snid to be imposssble to tell one kind from anothe from oppo- Palpitation of the Heart. J. M. Might, Syracuse, N. Y., writes: “When I tirst commenced using your Bur- dock Blood Pitters I was troubled with fluttering and palpitation of the heart, 1 felt weak and langu'd, with & numbness of the limbs. 8ince using, my heart has not troubled me and the numbing sensa- tion is all gone.” Price, 81; trinl size, 10 cents, 10-eodlw —_— A Tragedy at De Witt. Lincoln Journal, Ootober 32, We learn from Ganeral Otto Funke, who returned from the western part of the state yesterday, the meagro particulars of a tragedy which cocur- red at the little town of DeWit, i Saline county, last Friday night, which will probably result in the death of an u{d and highly respected citizen by the name of Busbuum, Tt seems that proprictors of one of the saloons of this town, whose names we could not learn, had some difficulty, which resulted in lone of the proprictors disposing lof his interest to a ctizen of | the town. The new partner walked into the saloon and notified the | maining partner that he had pure { ed a half interest, and proposed to run | the establishment to suit himself, The | old partner objected to becoming as- | sociated with the new man, and asa | consequence the doors of the saloon [wers closed. In the meantime the | remaining member of the old firm gave to Mr. Busbaun o mortgage npon his | interest in the saloon, to sccure $700 { that he had borrowed from him some time before, Busbaum went to the saloon for the purpose of claiming the stock under his mort; and found the door locked, tempted to foree it open, when the man inside THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3, 188: fired at him through the door, the ball lodging in his breast. It was thought at Wilber that the man was mortally wounded. FROM SHERMAN TO LONDON. Beof to be Slanghtered in Wyom- ing and Preserved for British Palates. Cheyenna Leader. A number of workmen, under Con- tractor East, are engaged on the slaughter and packing houses at Sher- man station, projected by Moreton Frowon & Co. As the business con- templated opens a wide field of com- merce for Wyoming, a detailed nar ration ot the same 18 apropos. It may be premised that the idea of the business originated with Mr. Moreton Frewen in this wise: He observed that beef often sold at losing figures simply because of the over- crowded state of the market, and that attempts to hold beef en the range for better figures were not always successful. The idea sprang up, why mot slaughter the beef by wholesale and hold it subject to a rise in the market’ Then the details of the plan were necessary; how to do it effectively and cconomically. Mr. Frewen learned that one of our lead- ing butchers had once killed a large number of beeves in Cheyenune during the winter and kept the carcasses in a large shed successfully for several months, and into the latter part of April, and at the end of that time the meat was still sweet and fresh, It then occurred to Mr. Frewen that by establishing a slaughter house atSher- man, and taking advantago of the pre- vailing low temperature there, he could operate the business economi- cally and successfully. The planis this: A great number of beeves are to be slaughtered at the beginning of every winter. This year the number will be from 1,200 to 1,600 head of cattle, for experiment. When the slaughtering is done, the quarters will be hung in an open shed until they are thoroughly frozen by the natural temperature. No ice will be placed in contact with the meat. ‘When the quarters are nicely frozen thei will be packed away closely in a packing house constructed on scientific principles. No ice will be needed to preserve the meat as the close packing will retain the frost. The average temperature of Sherman station is be- low the freezing point; it has an eleva- tion of 8,242 feet, and is onan ex- pesed summit. There are precious few nights during the summer when ico does not form in the streams and ponds near by. It will be seen then, that Mr, Frew- en can effect all the objects of the business sumply taking advantage of the natural cold temperature. As a consequence much labor and expense is saved over what would be necessa- r’AfLer the season’s slaughtering is done and packed away, thesupply can be drawn at will. Mr. Frewen's idea is to ship his beef to English markets. To do this he will secure refrigerator cars and when these are once loaded at Sherman thev will go clear to the docks of New York without change and the contents unloaded into the refrigerator chambers of the ship. He contemplates provi ing a large re- frigerator at Gravesend, London, to load, and it is though that the original freezing, done at Sherman station, will preserve the meat during the lapse of time between the slaughtering and the selling of the same at Gravesend, even though it were July or August. The refrigera- tor at the latter place wili be so ar- ranged that the meat canbe preserv- ed for several weeks longer, it neces- sary, on account of poor market, ctc. Should the experiment of the pros- ent wimter with 2,000 head prove suc- cessful, Mr. Frewen will have his facilities enlarged so as to slaughtor from 15,000 to 20,000 beeves the fol- lowing winter. The item of freight from Sherman station to London is not so great as one might suppose. By reason of heavy shipments, Mr. Krewen has secured very favorable terms from the Union Pacitic and other roads,andthe steamship companics, so that he can ship the beef at a cost of about one pence (two cents) per pound. This will enable him to compete successful- ly in the London marketand thus will his business be increased. Indeed, if the experiment proves successful, it is probable that other preserving estab- tishments will be started at Sherman. But to Mr. Frewen belongs the credit of originating the idea and of having the nerve to supply the means of test- ing it thoroughly. It is to be hoped that the experi- periment will prove eminently success- ful. If it is, the beeves of Wyoming need not be driven out of our bounds for a good market. Our cattle men will not lose by shrinkage consequent upon shipping, and besides all the business will be done in Cheyenne, Buckun's Arnica Salve, The best salve inthe world for euts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chillblains, corns and all kinds of skin eruptions, This ealve is guar- anteed to give perfect satisfaction in every case or monay refunded.
