It must be remembered that the Mexlco of today is the Mexlco of the past, only as it {s known In legend and tradition, with herc and there a few fading monuments of its former power and glory. A gentleman high to-day in the clvil and milltary clrcles of that country, whose friendship and acquaintance the writer is proud to claim, suggested that t to the scenes of PENITENTIAL SELF-TORTURE durlog holy week [tanta semana] would be interesting and inatructlve, and at once he, eenator Salazar and the writer pre- pared for the journey. The plaza of San Rafael was chosen for the visit, and the hour mldaight. Under the deep blue canopy .vaulted as the sky o'er no other country is vaulted, when the world seemed in peaceful slumber and the little adobe town was wrapped in a mantle of darkness that was buttoned with a single star, the party silently entered the walls of sun-drled brick and were recelved by the hospitable head man cf the villsgo, who was not of the mysterions band. He warned each one to be silent, not only for policy, but for safety, and the reader must know that the worshipers there wouid illy brook a stranger’s presence during holy ;week, and particularly on that, the eve of Good Friday. Throwing about the head and upper body a dark serape (blanket or shawl) the visitors moved stealthily through the sage-brush acroes the pralrie necar toa lonely adobse house, beside the dark flow- ing Rio Grande, Arrivirg there each oue concealed himecif In the thicket and watoched. Within the house were heard solemn dlrge-likezongs, chorused by mournfal sighs and groans of paln. Then all would ba silent until broken by the creaking sound of an open- ing door, hung upon dry wooden hinges (even these a luxury in that Jand), snd then the low spoken words ‘“‘Qaien esta? adonde viene!” (Who are you? whence came you?) would tell of the stealthy arrival of some ‘‘brother” (Hermano) etalned with sin and laden with the weight of wrong dolng. He would be admitted in silence, and again wou!d the welrd chanting begin. Closy b:uside the curlous visitors a noise like the step of a cat-footed animal woald be heard;it was the mocaein , tread of the sentinel who kept guard against the intrus'on of strangers and infidels like the vlsitors who were squatting almost breathless awid the sage brash. Near the doorway were laid, ona umpon another, grest wooden cro:ses made of pine logs welgh- ing hundrads of pounds, and presenting the appearance in the dim starlight of some black masy piled against the graylsh walls of the wership-temple. ~ At intervals be- tween the chanting and groans, a noise as of eome one lashing some object with a bundle of twigs wes heard. Again and again would the creaking door be opened and cloeed; sometimes to admit & travel- ing brother from afar, sometimes to lot out a penitent whose devotions had al- most overcome his physical power of en- durance. Again the door would open in obedlence to the sentry’s low call, ‘‘las hermanas vienen,” [the sisters are com- ing] and then some one of the eo iety would go out,advance and speak with some of the females, who stepped singly to the penitent and muttering, “I give this for the glory of God,” would hand an earth- ern water vessel [tinajs] filled with a bit- ter drink [agua armsgosa] to glve to father, husband, son, brother or lover strength and ¢ omfort in the trying hours yet hefore him, Thus the night was passed; many com- ing, none but the comfort-bringing wo- men going away, The same groans, the same chaoting, the ssme seotinel step, the same throshing sound, as if made by a bundle of limber willow branches, broke the silence. At length morning came. The hidden visltors cautiously peeped and peered through the brush, when, along with these sounds, there mer the wondering eye strange a'ghts. The lodge was temporarily dissolved, and in the carly rays of blushing morning the penitentes stood cutaide the bailding in groups of twe, perhaps more. Over the head and face of each was a black vell completely concesling each ore’s {dentity; upon the body was no vestage of clothing except thin, white drawers, all stained and soaked with blood from walst to heels; upon the feet were eh.ep or deer skin mocasing, and in the hands was & wicked thong or bundle of what seemed cruel cords,but were in fact st-ms and stalks of cactus,with itprickly thorns, or amole etaik wrapped and woven into s bundle, with which the penitent whipped and cnt and lacerated his baock and ehoulders, until the flesh and muscles quivered at each blow. Thus for a mo- ment they stood. Presently the leader broke the silence with the command, ‘“Hark! lot us go,” and polnted up the hill that ran along the great dividing river, The eyes of the ““Infidel” watchers followed the direction of his finger and there up that steep ris- ing grouud upon a bare, stony spct stord a great grim sppearing cros om the door of the house up this hill ran a dis- tuct trail or pathway, well-biaten, and spotted here und there with blood that had fallen from the torn and quivering Joins and backs of the jenitentes as they ourged themselves with the Knout of ocactus and auole, L 1At the lustant the leader spoke the men fell into live with their faces to the suniise, thus presenting their sides to the spot where the cross was erected, In the e iostant a tall man, robed in a long black gown and maeked ssve as to his mouth, with a black veil or mauntls, be- gan to play upon an instrument r sem- biing an old army fife, the mcst monrn- ful, weird, dirge-like a'r thet ever fell on human ear outeide the dark, deep dan- geons of the damned, But not a)l these worshiping penilents fell fnto line to whip snd ecourge them- selves; because for some there was a worse, though to them a higher and ho- ller task, Three stepped with bended forms towsrds the pile of great pine logs made Into crosses; thero they each kuelt and four or six brothers slipped from the line, Iald aside their thong of thorny cactus and placed a mighty cross upon the back and shoulders of each of the kneellng penitentes, almost pinning him to earth. Then at a signal, the welrd tune upon the fife began again; the penitential line took up and chanted 1t as human beings ne'er chanted air be- fore, and then with scourge In hand the ilne moved ur, not forward, but at a shuffling, sidelong galt, singing, chanting, mourn- ing and beating at overy step thelr own bleeding budiee, or lashing the quivering forms of the s truggling brothers who straining, dragged the heavy crosses up and along the hillside. And thus thoy slowly moved on; the same unearthly etrains, blown from the strange.appear— ing fife; the same mournfal chanting; the same lashing souud of the thongs of cac- tus and amole; the same or increasing groans from the heavily-laden, laboring wretches, who In paln and blood and blows, stroggled upwards with the mighty pingon crosses, This was kept up tlll the head or right of the sidelong line reached the frowning cross that stood at tho summit of the holy hill; there the march was changed and cach penitente prostrated himself at the foot of the cross, and keepiog up his mournful chorus wo the weird notes of the mueic far behind, dragged himsc!f near enough to touch aod kiss the upright beam, then followed in like way by those behind, passed and kissed the crcss and took posi- tlon about it. Thus exch came on; the falterlng bearers of the great heavy crosses towards the end of the line, were encouraged by chanted songs and spurred on by cruel blows upon thelr poor bleeding backs and loins, until the summit was reached by sll. Then down prostrate each ene fell, and croseing and mouraing and chantirg an Incoherent prayer, up they arose,to burat forth into the wildost wail that ever echoed amid the stony hil's and sandy vales of that wild land! This was the moment when the supreme act of wor- ship had come, this was the signal note; now CHRSTS'S CRUCIFIXION was about to be commemorated, and qulck but silent, the wretch who hore the heaviest load, and who had sunk faint upon the ground at the fuot of the upright croes, was seized and scourged; sp't up, and wet'ed with the ealted vine gar (sally-viasgre) and lifted unreslstiog snd boand to the crors, when with louder greans and welrder notes the group at the foot fell forward, Then all was atill, The watchers came forth determined to see if indeed the wre'ch was dead or dylng. They were quickly scen and met by balf a dozen penitentes who cried in hurried tomes: *‘Go off, this is holy ground; you are infidels, go, leave us with our people and our God! The head of the wretch fell forward on his breast; the kneeling group around the cross rose up, and amid mournful songs cut the cords and took dowan the limp and mengled bedy, not dead this time, but puritied! Sometimes they die under this torture, Slowly the three observera walked back to San Rafael. The sickening smell of fresh human blood was in the room of the adoboe as it was reached and entered, and few words were spoken by elther. Often since the writer has witnessed these rites, becauso he made it a point to study the system. Indeed even in Colo- rado to-day thera are men, white men, who have held high places of honor and trust, who belonged to this soctety and do yet, as for that. The Iron horse Is there; the achocl house and the courts are there; the march of modern clviliza- tlon is moviog stesdily on; still, ““The little gray hawk hangs aloft in the air; And thesly coyote trots hece and there; And }hde black snake hides and hisses and slides, Into a rift of the cottonwood tree; And the buzrard sails on, and comes and is Rone, Statoly and still like a ship at sea; Does half my heart lie buried, alone, In blistering sauds by the Rio Grande!” ———— The Villisca Accident, The following account of the colllsion which eccurred at Villlsca, lowa, four o'clock Sunday morning, between two freight trains, has been received. Every effort, In the meantime, has been made by the railway pecple, 10 suppress the nows, but without very great success: Conductor Sima’ train, with engine No. 282, Fred Hilton engineer and Al Davidson fireman, rounded the curve on the Branch and ran out on the main line the traln being heavy and hard to check, At the same time, first 16, with engine No 331, Ed Emory, engineer, and Mart Lar!'teon fireman, ran out of the yards on the main line. When first diecovered by the train men both engines were on the Howe bridge, and it was impossible to prevent the catastrophe. Both englneers and both fire- men jumped. Emory struck on his face #nd recelved some very severe injurles. Lsritson struck a timber of the bridge, croshing in his skull and causing Instan. taneous death. Emory was serlously, it not fatally, hurt in the sldo and back. Davidson eecaped with a slight injury in cne foot. All the wounded men were taken to Creston, Six cars were demor— alized and thrown from the track. The two engines remaived on the bridge, but wera considerably damaged in front.

Maubury & Overton, The play is one of Intense melodramat- ic interest, well knit and of sustaining power, It is moreover tinted with a pro- nounced morality, which In no wise de- tracts from the general effoct. In brief the story is that Steven Marler (Charles Overton) has betrayed a young girl, Bar— bara Dale (Sarah VonLeer). She demanda satisfaction and her cause is champloned by Rev. George Brand (Charles Mau- bury), who is in love with Ruth (Marle Prescott) an orphan ward of Joslah Dean (J. A. Howell). Marler wants to marry Ruth to obtain her money and persuades Barbara to tell Ruth that the curate Brand has betrayed her, This she does J|and Ruth horritied at the clergyman’s |’ work refuses his hand and marries Mar- ler. The trouble of Ruth with her vaga: bond hueband occupy most of the action of the play and cause many harrowing and thrilling scenes, Ruth being com- pelled to steal to save her slck child and being detected and sent to prison for it. Finally the villaln in trylog to murder his wife is “floored” by the clergyman who had proved himself as true as steel, winning in the end, the love and hand of the womsn he worships. The varlous perts from those of Charles Overton, Charles Maubury snd Marle Pres- cott down to the most unimportant role were excellently, and in some instances, grandly sustained, and detalled comment in this direction is unnecesssry. e — {f you have a Sore Throat, a Cough or a Cold, try B.

Nebracka’s mail service while, of course, by no means fully developed, will compara favorably with that of other western states. We have two double routes (that is, night and day linee) which serve to afford rapid and adequate transit of all mall matter across the state. How does It com- pare with Kansas? Waell, we have hardly as well established mail service In Ne- braeks, as has Kansas, though in propor- tion to the population {t is just as well developed.” “‘Are there many stage route llnes through the state?” ‘Yes, hundreds of miles, scattered in every direction. They are Increasing all the time, however, and being replaced by rallway routes, Of course as the rallroads are bullt, just so fast are the staga routes abolished. It will be a long tlme though, before our state mail sys- tem will have adopted anything like the semblance of a’ purely railway service,” e —— A May Festival of Music, Tuesday afternoon there was a called meeting in Meyer's hall of twelve musi. cal enthusiasts of local ciccles to consider the project of holding & mualcal festival in May. It was definitely decided that Omsha could well support such a project and that by all mesns it must be carried through. A meeting will be held next Thurzday to further discuss the subject and arrange preliminary measures, The varlous musical socicties of the clty will be invited to co-operate with the Muslical Union orchestra in making the festival a grand success. Soloists from abaoad will be ecoured, and the pro- grammes presentod will be made rich and enjoyable, It is intended in fact to have the fetlval patterned after the May fes- tival of Chicago, though on s smaller e.

A gentleman from the vicinity of Nor- solk with his son was In Omaha yester— day, and intended golng off by the North- western road to his home. For th's pur- pose he and his son went to the depot to purchsse tickets, When he arrived there he found an agent busy and another gen- tleman troubled to get a lot of expreas or frelght out, because he could not get a check cashed, the poor egent not having enough money. He appealed to the Norfolk man, who he knew was going on the traln with him and sncceeded in bor- rowlug 850, until the agent could go up town to get the check cashed when he would hand the loan to the Norfolk man for the owner of the fraight matter, The ‘*agent” went and has not returned. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the lend- er was leaving against a post asking how to get home. PORK PACKING, Bome Facts and Figures of the Sea son Just Closed. A reportor called yesterdvy wupon Mr. J. E. Boyd and gleaned from that gentleman’s conversation some interest- ing facts relatlve to the pork packing bueiness for the past season, The winter's packing season, begin- ning November lst, 1884, and ending March 1st, 1887, has teen a busy one The amount of meats put up has been indeed, far In excess of the business o last or any pravious year, f Following are the figarcs roundly es- timated: J. E. Boyd, 117,000 hogs Co., 14,600 hogs; Harrls Fisher, 8,- 600 hoge; Hammand & Co, 4,600 heys; total, 144,500, This represents the amount of pork packed up to March 1st. Since that date there have been abont 20,000 head packed by the four firms, As thehogsare worth on an average about $12 per head, the business of the winter meason is repre- eented by a value of $1,734,000, that of the March season by a value of $240,000; or the total value o{ packiog done up to date, in round numbers is about $2,000,- 000, The enormous increase of the pork packing Industry can be appreciated when it Is understood that Jast year but Sheeley & 80,000 head of hogs were handled by the vy firms interested in the business. 8o that the growth of this year's bustaces over lost year's, ls represented, roundly, by 80 per cent., ““The reason of thls Increase, I can hardly tell you,"said Mr. Boyd, “‘except in o general way. The hog ralsers through- out the state last yoar shipped the great. er portion of thelrstock to Chicago, be- cause the markets then were advancing and it was worth while to ssd thelr pro. duce 8o long a distance. This year, how- ever, the marke!s bave been deciining, and it Is only by shippiog short distances that profit can be made. Consequently the hog ralsers have disposed of most of their porkers in the local markets, " fCAMELLINE ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. poisonous or injarious eubstances.
