VR e DAILY BEE:-WEDNESDAY, JULY 1. 1885, THE LINCOLN. Sample Cases of Stinking Waler ! Home: stead Claiments, Closing in Upon the Norfolk Asylum Contractor, The Swcogerfast iRteceipts Snfficient to Meet the Debts—Notes About the Oity—Personal Mention, AT THE STATE UAPITAL, ON THE STINKING WATER, Reported by The Brr's Bureau, Lixcouys, Neb,, June 30.—Now that political mattors In the state seem very qulet it might be well for Hans Oliver and some of the other partles In and ad- ocent to HastIngs to prove up on thelr stinking water claims. That class of gentiemon make affidavits eo easy and so often they have probably forgotten that they testified once before, with affidavits and wlll undoubtedly try to convince the dapartment that they did build a houte and lived theraln the required length of tlme and loft their elevatora and other businers Intereata to ubtaln a clalm upon the classic stream, believing that roon their llego lord would be sble to obtain a naval appropriation. O@ course the lawa of the land office had no right to in- «ulre as to the reai facts connected with the sottlemont of theso non-resldent pirties for they mado the necessary affidayits. If tho land depariment at Washington desires to protect our public domain and have it hon- estly sottled upon, it will, ia the Stink- ing Water matter, upon & meagre Inveat- igation and exawmination, find that in a majorliy of the clalms bad faith was overwhilmingly proven in nearly every instance; that moat of the shanties were not worth $10, and had neither doors or windows in them. and es a matter of fact that their builders nover lived there but a fow days if at oll. Stmllar circum- stances wero tho cases in Brown county, when it was proven one Legnard hired somo twelve different boya to make filings he paying them about $20 each for final proof papers. However, they were in- -dicted for perjury and conspiracy. 1t may seem littlo atrange, but 1s nevertheless true, that thero were no Nebraska bidders on the Norfolk asylum. It Is reported that the archltect whose plans were accepted, Mr. Ellls, of Mar- ahalltown, Iowa, gnaranteed to the board that he would furnish a bldder whose bid would not exceed $65,000. Thishas been done In the peraon of Mr. King, whose bid was $64 355, and now the state board have decided the bidder must furnish a Nebraska bond, which s of §50,000, This may bother Mr, King, and the preeent outlook is that the gentleman will not be able to furnish such a bond, and there s a falr prospeot ahead that new blds will be called for, with the understanding that a Nebraska boud will ba required of the lucky bldder, This whole aflalr hasa peculiar appcarance, and may bea scheme of the Nebraska builders, or it may prove to have a wheel within a wkeel. Next Monday, the Gih, will show what the in— tentlons are. Whateveraction the board take, they will have to pay the architect whose plans they have alreaoy accepted. Henry Brlegman says tho recelpts and guarantee fund of the Sangerfest will probably pay all its liablities.

Two portraits of marked Interest, In the July Centary, are the frontlsplece plotare of Frederlc Mistral and the full- page portralt, efter a daguerreotype, of Henry Clay. George Bancroft contrib- utes a vivld eketch of Clay's parsonality, and Alphonse Daadet writes of his frlend Mistral, the Provencal poet, Daudet's sketch is as valuable for 1ts antoblogra- phical Interest as for its Intimate account of the life and character of Mistral. Of timely Importance Is the Indo- Afghun paper, *‘The Gate of India,” by W. L. Fawcett. A description of “‘George Elliot's Country,”—the scenes of her country life and her novels,—by Miss Rowo G. Kingsley, Is the opening illustrated paper. Other are Dr. Edward Kggleaton’s profueely illustrated paper on “Socfal Lifo n the Colonles;” and an ac- court of the explorations of the late “Frank Hatton in North Borneo,” by his father, Joseph Hatton. Two short storles accompany the in- stallments of Mr. Howells' ‘‘Rise of Silas Lapham,” and Henry James' *‘Bostonl- ane,”—they are Frank R. Stockton's con- tinuatlon of his famous story, *‘The Lady or the Tiger?” under the title, ““The Dis- courager of Hesltancy,” avd another illustrated story by lvory Black (T. A. Janvier), entitled “Roboreon’s Medtum,” The war papers of the July namber are profusely illustrated, and comprise & de- seription of the confedorate pursult dur- ing *‘McClellan’s Changs of Base,” by General D. H, Hill; “‘R:ar Guard Fight- ing at Savage Station,” by General W, B, Franklin; *‘The Seven Days’ Fighting About Richmond,” by General James Longstreet. 1 St. Nicholas for July has patrlotic fla— vor. The number opens with a sketch by Edward Eggleston, entitled ‘A School of Long Ago,” which shows us the odd methods in which some of our forefathers gained their education; while in ‘‘Wash- iogton’s First Correspondence” we can road the first lotter over written by the father of his country; *“‘Among the Law- makers’ contains an instructive and en- tertalping description of the organization of our natlonal government. In the *“Let- ter-box”’ are some spirlted verses de- soribing the herole act of *‘Ellbabeth Zano,” a brave Amerlcan glrl of the olden time; and in **A School Afloat,” Enslgn Gibbons, of the navy, and Charles Barnard explain how patriotic Amerlcan boys are made into practical American saflors. Lieutenant Schwatka tells us in “I'he Children of the Cold” of sime young Amerlcans who no doubt often in— dulge in snow-ball fighting on the Fourth ot July,—while the third paper of the “Historlc Gitls" serfes takes us away back to the time of “Clotilda of Bar. gundy; the glrl of the French Vine- yards”; and Mozart is the subject of this month’s ‘From Bach to Wagner” bio- graphette. There is a number of bright short sto- ries and poems while the popular serlal storles: ‘‘Driven Back to Eden,” by E. P. Roe; “His One Fault,” by J. T. Trowbridge, and *‘Sheep or Sllver?” by Willlam M. Baker, all contlnue to in- crease In Interest with each installment. The July Harper's is of unusual and varied interest. It contains the begin. ning of Howell's new story, ‘‘Indian Summer,” besldes a farther instalment of Miss Woolson's “‘East Angels.” A new article in the serles on: great Amer- ican Industries, *‘A Silk Dress,” glves a careful account, with mapy illustrations, of the manufacture of sllk in this coun- try. A paper describing Buffalo has no less than nineteen illustrations of the slty of President Cleveland, and is one of the most brilllant of the descriptions of American ocltles which Harper’s has from time to tlme published. ‘‘A Day's Drlve with Montana Cowboys,” by the artist Z gbaum, and & pleasant paper on “‘Ampersand” in the Adlrondacks, with pletures of the lake and of the mouatain of that name, repreeent out of-door lifa, as does aleo s teries of poems, ‘Mid- summer at Mount Detert,” by Mrs. Mace, with illustrations by Harry Fonn, Gon, Butler contributes an article giving the complete history of his yacht Amer— loa, Artis represented by a paper on the interesting architecturs of *‘The Mohammedans in India,” with a number of illustrations remarkable for thelr beauty of detall, Among the storles is an amusing one of *‘His Royal Highness' Love Affair,” illustrated, and another by the humorlst Burdette, The frontlaplece is a characterlstic picture by F. S, Church, of *Pandora.” ; President Bartlott, of Dartmouth, con- A tribates an interesting article on caves and mounds to the July number of the North Amerlcan Review. In the same number of the Review appears a conversation between David Dudley Field and Henry George, on land and taxation, Another urgent question, which may soon mske a very serlons lesue, the extradition of dynamite crlminals, {s debated by Presi- dent Angell, of Michigan Unlversity, George Ticknor Cartis, and Justice T. M. Cooley. Dorman B. Eaton, chief of the clvll service commission, glves his views of the results of that reform. Wil- ltam Clarke shows the fatile character of any scheme for Britlsh imperial federation and Thomas W. Knox gives a brlef but interesting oh of the progrees of Eu- ropean influence in Asia. The other ar- ticles are one by Gall Hamilton on pro- hibitlon in practice, and one by the Itev. Dr. O, H. Parkhurst on the decline of Christtanity., These, with the batch of free-hand comments, make up a number of unusual Interest, The July lesue of the Oatlng 1llustrat- ed magazine, Is a college nuwber, The leading paper is an interesiing review of he rowing contests between Harvard and Yale from thelr first race, In 1852, to the present time. It 1is from the pen of Mr. J. R. W, Hitchcock, himeelf a practical oarsman, and 1s fally illustrated. The paper is accompsnled by comments from Willlam Blakle, Robert J, Cook, Wililam A. Baueroft, and R. C. Watson, The aumber also contains two siriking articles by Professors Edward Hitshcock of Am aerstand E L Richards of Yale, con- cerning the development of physleal ed- ucation snd athletic sports at each of these institutions, The serlal storles now sorts, and Is suggestively and helpfally illustrated by practical architectural drawings. The July Installment has eeveral novel hints, which will not, we are sure, fall to be widely utilized, The firat artlclo In “The Popular Scl- ence Monthly,” for July, by Dr. Frank- land, s on “‘A Great Winter Sanitarium for the Amerlcan Continsnt,” and Is the resalt of Dr. Feankland's comparative study of the subject as observed in the Engadine of the Swles Alps and the Yellowstone reglon, *‘Recent Progress in Aerlal Navlgalion,” by Professor Stevens, an illustrated article, will bs read with extreme nterest on account of the late advances In this diflicult bat i fasclnating art. “‘Rallrosds, Telegraph, and Cuvilization,” by Protessor Herz)g, elves a masterly and original handling of o mighty problem. *‘Diet In Relation to Age and Actlvity,” by Sir Henry Thomp- son, s an especlally valaable artlcle by an authority. *“‘Oa Leaves,”by Sir John Lubbock, 18 an illus'rated paper full of curious interest. *‘Hthics and the De- velopment Theory,” {s a puwerfal discus- slon of the relation of morality to evolu. tion, ‘*‘Azchologleal Frauds,” by Ab- bott. “‘Eattbquake Phenomena;” ‘Carl- oritles of Star Fish Life;” *Moths and Moth-Catchers;” *‘The Hygicne of the \gea,”—are all articles of suporlor Inter- est, Dr. John Stoughton opens tho Jualy number of the (aiver a continuation of his “Sunday Thoughts in Other Lands,” The Rev.

Gordon Colthrop, coa- tains much good advice for young men and women. A scholatly psper, is that of Rev. R. Payhe Smith, Dzan of Can- terbury, on ‘‘The Revised Vereion of the Old Testament.” In the wsy of serials and short stories, the Qulver 15 mever found wanting. Poetry and plotures also enllven the number as usual. Al of the contributions to this number of the (Quiver are not mentioned here, but enough aro given to thow its intereating variety.

The journsl of the last meeting was ap- proved. His excellency, Mayor Boyd, reported that he had approved the following ordi- nances: Re-levying a specisl tax In sawer dls- trlet No. 13 for constructing sewers. Re-levying aepecla! tax in sewer dls- trict 15; also in distelets 19 and 21, A special ordinsnce appropristing moneys to constracting sldewalks, A speclal ordinanc: levying a speclal tax for the constructlon of sldewalks.

J. E. Boyd, Mayor: My Dear Sir: Relerring to our inter- vlew of to.day, inrelation to the viaducts, etc., across the tracks and right of way of th!s company, between Ssventeenth and Twentieth streets, I have since discuesed the matter at some length with our local ofticers, who are more informed wlth re- gard to it than I. T have now to say that the objection this company makes to the plan ot a viaduct cressing at Eleventh street 1s, that beyond a certaln degree it fals to relleve the city and this company of the danger incident to & grade crossing at Tenth strest, The company fully admlits that in its present conditlon the Tenth street croesing Is a standing source of danger. Through it this company Incors a con- stant lability, and lives cf the citlzens of Omaha are endangered. Under these circumstances we are extremely loath to enter Into any arrangement which shall not prove a complete remedy for this evil. The company 1s prepared, there- fore, to enter into s liberal agreement on Its part, provided any comprehensive plan can be agreed upon. I would sug- gest the following: Eighth and Ninth streets are already closed; let Tenth, Twelfth and Fourteenth streets be closed by ordinance; viaducts counld then be thrown across Eleventh and Sixteenth streets and the strests could be carrled underneath the railrcad tracks at Seventh and Thirteenth streets. Twentloth street could be left for future "developments as s not improbables well protected grade croseing would be sutficlert there. This plan would remedy the whole diffisulty, and obvlate the grest existing danger at Twontieth street. Doubtless the closlng of Tenth strzet wlll excite much oppo- sltion, and conslderable expense would have to ba incurred on account of It. Nevertheless, without closing it I do not tes how any result satisfactory to this company can be arrlved at. They rec- ognizy perfectly the condion of affalrs exis:lng atthat polnt, Iteeems to me as I told your commlttee to-day, that the people of Omsha fail to recognize the fact that they no longer live in a prairie village. Accordingly they are contin- ually strlving to make arrangements which ten or fiftecn yearat ago were suf- ficient but which will not answer present needs, Your city 13 in mbch the position of a child who having grown up into a youth still Insiets upon wearing child’s clothes, You cannot be comfortable in them, and no expenditure of money will make you comfortable in them, From my polnt of vlew a comprehensive plan to deal with exlsting troubles should cover the whole rallroad situstion. The switching of the Unlon Pacific should no longer be done across your principal streets, it should be moved out upon the plain on the other side of the river, wheze through trains can be made up without inconvenience to any one and dellvered to eastern connections. The local traffic of Omaha ehould be attended to further weat, without the clty llmlts. Nothiog should pats across your streets except tralns going to thelr destination, or ca1s belng Enuled to the manufactor- les or warehouses where thelr loads are to be recelved or delivered. In my op'nion you have got to come to this, and by de- laying your action you are merely in- creasing the ultimate losts of doing 80, This company, therefore, now asks one of two things; let the clty close up Ten'h street, we contributiog our fair share of the cost of so doing, and re- lleve us of the dauger we perpetually In- cor at that point; cr else tell us that we we are an intolerable nuisance, and must go elsewhere where our neceesary busi- ness will not be & perpetusl soorce of danger, Should the city take this larger view of the sltuation, it would be for the intereat of the Unlon Paclfic to meet your views within any reasonsble limits a0 respecis the crossing of Eleventh, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Thirtcenth strects. Mr Callaway will be authorized to represent the intereata of the company, and reach a concession upon thls matter. Certalnly, the company entirely agrees with the clty gov. rament that something must be doue, and that speedily, to abate & great and growing nuisance, The only difference botween us that I can see is that we think the remedy should be radi- “ARISE AND SING." cal and lasting, while you deslre one|rarorted that they regarded the sorvices which Is temporary. of O.
