DA S - THE DAILY BEE--~THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1885. = = ] LINCOLN. Incidents of the Day at the Capital of the State. Progress of Work on the Several Public Institations, Census Fragments—State Fair Toples and Preparations—Personal Men tion and General Notes, THE DAY AT LINOOLZ, EVENTS ABOUT TOWN, Tieported by The Bee's Bureau, Lixcory, Neb., 15.—Matters In the census department are progressing rapldly. Superintendent Lane yester day morning found that he had pald ont 8o far $32,000. This Inclades payment on blsnks and statlonary, the payment of all but about twenty of the enumera- tors, expressage and some of the office expenses, leavicg him about $1,600 with which to meet his copylng and other office expenses. The superintendent thinks he will have plenty to entirely complete the work by belng somewhat economical. The population of Nebraska Olty is shown by the enumeration to be 5,607, The stete militla will be ordered into camp four days this year, which will probably be soon after the state falr, and it Is thought the camplng ground wlll be in the vicinity of Lincoln. An error has been circulate d in regard 1o the enumeration In Fillmore county, which was glven out as 10,442, while it is 13,450, glving it an Increasc over the census of 1880 of 3,010. The demsnd for notary publlc commis- slons s agaln assuming large proportions. The proof on the journals of the last leglslature will all be in by Friday of this week, and It is thought the journals will be completed and ready for distrlba- tlon by the first of August. The tower on which will rest the dome of the new capltol Is now up to the third story and the work is stlll progressing. The citlzens in the vicivity of crete were constderably exercited a fow days slnce over the elopement of a Miss Emma Lowe, davghter of & prominent farmer, with & carpenter named Cole. The mat- ter has been kept very qulet so far. J. C. Bickle, one of the firat settlers of Saline county, has gone crazy within the past fow days, und is kept under a guard continually. It is feared he will have to be brought to the asylum, Gen. John A. Logan has been Invited and is expected te deliver the oratlon on next Fourth of July on the assembly grounds at Orete, and an effort will be made to make It a gala day for all the old soldiers in this state. The balance of the unappralsed school lands in Antelope county, conslsting of twenty-four eectlons have been ordered appraised. % New difliculties are arising under the new school law, and one of the questions, which seems likely to give a large amount of trouble and which the officers seem to e in doubt about, is whether a party who has leased school lands prior to the new law can prove up or purchsse under the Iaw which his leare was taken or whether he must prove up under the new law. There will soon be another mandamus served on the auditor, as he has refused to pay the county treasurers the fees on school and university lands under the law of 1873. As thenew law of 1879 makes no provision for the payment of any commission on thess lands, it Is quite likely the supreme court will uphold hlm in his refusal, as it did In regard to the university funds. It will be a saviog to the state of about §3,000. The state auditor, H. A. Babcock, will visit Omaha to.day. . B. Allen, Ineurance clerk in the auditor's oftice, goes to Omaha to-morrow, on businers, George W. Barnhart, of Lodge Pole, one of the Nebraeka live stock commissioners, 1s In the clty. J. B.

The Helman Congressional Committee Ready for Business. Some of the Objects in View to be Looked After—How the Appro priation is Expended—Ed- ucational Matters, Ete , Et The Holman, or rather the epeclal congresslonal committee, appolnted to Investigate into the great Indlan problem, and see what can be done to solve it for the best good cof every human concerned, will start out todsy from here on Its journey, to the varlous Indian agencles, reservations and schools, scattertd around over the western country, Tho members of the committee are Hon, Willlam S. Holman, memberof congress fromIndlana, chairmsn; Hon, J. G. Oannon, member of congrews, from Illinois. Hon, Thomas 1tyan, member of congress, from Kapsas; Ropresentative Peel, of Arkansas, and Repreeentative Hatch, jof — Missourl, Only three of them however, Messrs, Holman, Cannon and Kyan go out on the luvestigation. Peel and Hatch are detalned at o the latter by sickness In his f and the former by busine:s that compels hls attention. Meesrs. Holman and Uanuon arrived here yosterday, and Mr, Rysn will be in at 6 o'clock this morning. They will start on the noon traln, golng from here first to the Rosebud and Plne Blaff agencies. The committee Is acccmpanied by Masj. J. P, Needham, sergeant-at-arms for the house of representatives, and J. C. Courts, clerk to the houss committee on appropriations. Me. Cannon's wife and his charming daughter, Miss Helen Cannon, came this far with him, and after remalning here a fow days will go to visit ralatives at Kan- s Clty. Deslrlng to learn something as to the buslness and principal objects of the commlttee, a reporter for the Bre had his card elevated to Mr. Holman's room at the Paxton hotel, last evening, and wes granted a very pleasant Interview. Mr. Holman said, in reply to an Intero- gatlon from the reporter, that firat of all it wlll be the business of the committee to ioquire into the manner in which public money appropelated for the use and benefit of the Indisns ls being expended; whether beneficially, economleally, jadiclously, and for the best Interests of the Indians, or whether reckleisly, extravagantly, or more for the benefit of agents. The manner and mode employed to educate the Indlan children Is also one of the most important questions the committee has been entrusted with. It ls belleved by a great many men who have glven the subject much attention and study that the present mode employed to educate the Indian children Is not condaclve of the best results. They are sent away to colleges where the children of namerous tribes have been col- lected, and of course learn rapldly; seem to readily accept all the re- quirewents of clvillzation and give prom- 180 of becoming good cltizens, but just as soon as they leave school and raturn to thelr people, they at once adopt the ab- orlginal customs and customs, and return to the barbarfan ways of their ancestors. As a rewedy for thia It ls proposed that a system of common schools among all the tribes would have such an influence on the older Indians that thelr Interests would be aroused to such an extent all inducements, for Indigence and barbar— ism among the young Indlans would be removed, In Its rounds the com- mittee will vistt al the Indian schools in the country and Investigate thoroughly into the way they are conducted, As matters are now when the Indian children return to their homes from these schools, unless they sink back into the barbaric and super- sticlous ways of their people, they are to a certaln extent ostracised. Much of the committees time will be devoted to ascertalning how money can be expended in adopting a plan which will produce tho best results for clvilizlng and aducat- ing the Indlan boys and girls, It Is also proposed to investigate the feasibillty and;the advantages of a policy, long contemplated, of finally getting all tho Indiana in the country, except those who bold lands In severalty, located with- in the borders ot the Indian ter:ltory, where they can the moro easily bo cared for and protected. It has becoms so now that these people are almost entirely dependont upon the government, said Mr. Holman, for thelr support. The chances for hunting game are almost played cut. Bat to give them the eup- port they requlre, It becomes necossary for the government to see that they are concentrated as much as p:sible and if they can b Induced to settlo In the Indian terrltory that will bo made a stato expressly for tholr own use. Then tho reservatlons ecattered about here and there over the country can bs eecored by the governmont, opened for settlement, and the proceeds dorlved therefrom de- voted to teaching the Indlans egricaltural pursuits and educating their children. In connectlon with {hls proposition to concentrate the Indians in the Indiau terrltory, congress also has another mo- tlve n view, and that fs to stop the de- slre and determination of white men golng in there and occupying the lands. ‘While it 1s impossible now for white people to Invade the territory with a view to making homes, still It is open to ciyll- ized Indlans, and no one can Interfere with them golng In and ocoupylng the lands, Mr. Holman expressed himself as belng eurprised at findinghere such a great city, and he thinks that the future oatlook for Omaha fs €qual to, If not greater, than any other city in the country, —Della Green had her preliminary trial be fore Judge Stenberg yesterday afternoon, and was agaln acquitted of the charge of robbing Oclando Vassell of $500 on the might of May 30, —A broad-axe fell, yesterdsy, on the head of Samuel B, Leonard, » workman employed by Jumes & Btevene, builders, at the corner of Lake & Saunders streets. 1t fell a distance of five feet, but fortunately caused no serious resulte, —Geo, Meyers was acquitted last evening and set at liberty Meyers Is the man who was charged with ““dolug up” Bays, tho Iowa detective, Ho was tried before Judge Neville and & jury yesterdsy, and after Leiog out about half an hour the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, | —— Of tor Europe Tuesdsy witnessed quite an exodus of Omahs people for Earope, Tae fol lowing parties purchased transportation for the continent and started for New York on the afternoon Wabash train, in- tendlng to eall Satorday from New York on the Cunarder ‘‘Aurlana:” Smith Halstead, wife and three children, Chatles Denton, wife and six children, Arthur Barnett, J.

It was noted at head- quarlers yesterday that Charles Francis Adams will return here about Saturday, There were no accldents, no unushal fotes of fast or big trains, no rumors of strikes or wars, T. W, Blackburn's story about his trip to the west with the lowa oedlitors. as been printed on flyers, and ls in great demand. NOTES FROM THE COUNTRY, Prosident Adams has diffased a cheer- ful alr throughout Cheyenne thick enongh tocut. A delegation of business men called on him Sunday while in that city, and submitted three conundrums regard- Ing the relations of the Unlon Paclfic and the paople of the clty. Firat, the settle- ment of a cloud on the title to lands sold under the Dodge reglme; eecond, build- Ing a now depot; and lastly, bullding a road to the northward. In regard to the first, Mr. Adams informed the committes that the land tltles would be settled on the return of Mr. Ames from Europe. Mr. Adams was heartily ashamed of the depot accommodations In the clty and ageeed that & new bullding to coat §75,000 would be begun at the earliest possible date. As to bullding a northern road the company was In “'per- fect harmony with the {ides, but unfor- tanately a law of congress precludes the company from conatructing such a branch, which 1t would very much like to do, The law prevents the company from guaran- teclng bonds, but 1t will asslst in every way possible the enterprise in the hands of others,” Mr. Adams Interviewed the Laramle- {tes yesterday. The first surveylng party to locate the line of the Nebraska & Kansas railroad will start out next week. This s the narrow guage road mentioned heretsfore in the Bee, The proposed road will start at Falrmont, Fillmore county, and run southeast to Burr Oak, Kansas. The busliness men and farmers who are back- ing the echeme, expect to get substantial returns for their investments in reduced rates to Chicago and St. Louis. The Northwestern extenslon Is devour- ing distance fn northern Nebraska, The track will probably reach Chadron by the 20th, tut some delay fs expe- rienced with brldge bullding, the hard formatlon of the ground making it more difficult to drlve piles. Tho survey of the Chicago, Nebraska, Kansas & Siuthwestern ratlway, the pro- posed route from Re Cloud, via Dodge City, Kanaas, to the Panhandle country in Texas, has already commenced and appoarances indicate that the projectors meen business, Nebraska Olty, it Is intimated, stands a good chancs of belng made the ob- jeatlve polnt of the Diagonal road of Iowa, This road s bullt from Des Molnes to Rheinbeck, and the survey Is completed to IR3d Oak. *‘What the pres- ent plan of the company 1s,” says the Nebraska City prass, “‘is unknown, but a3 it muet strlke the river somewhere, and has abandoned St. Joseph, the re. porter has it on good anthority that Ne- braska City has as much of a chancs to secure the rosd as she had in 1882, and an equal chance with sny other river point.

A Dissatisfled Darkey Uses a Plstol During His Initiation, Galveston News, DavvLas, Jaly 3. —The police are camp- Ing on the trall of a dandified colored gentleman named Benjamin Franklin Williams, charged with the demolition, last night, of things In general at the lodge of the Seven Stars of the Mysterl- ous Ten and the Daughters of the Sepulchre, which I a chartered Instiiu- tlon, duly commissioned and organ'z:d, Jargely coarted by the crome do la crome of colored society. The history of the Willlams trouble, like that of the anclent Briton, 1s slightly involved In obscurlty, the members cf the lodge showlog a groat reluctance about referring to any of its transactione, From the tangled web of reports that have galned currency the straightest story seems to be that Williame, on or about the hour when graveyards yawn, was undergoing the very Intrlcate cere- monles of Initiation, such as riding the goat, rolling cff a log, oto., all of which he submittes to under protest, until he found hlmself lumped up and then lifted in the dicection of the constellation by mesns of a blanket with a star at each corner. Consldering this out of order of confraternal action, he drew a plstol from the ineide of his boot on the retnrn trip and opened fire, shootlng awsy one of Brotner Reese’s hngers and stampeding the lodge under a suspension of the rules.

Pocarerro, July 7.—Pocatello is the meeting point of the Oregon short line and Utah & Northern rallroads. Nothing of great Importance can be sald of this place. The railroad praperty, Including depots, eating houss, round housa and dwellings for employes, laall that can be seen, The town Is sitaated on the Sho- shone Indlan reservation, It belng con- trary to law for a white man to sottle and bulld on these lands, I have been In- formed the railroad companies doing busl- ness here were granted the privilege by making & trade with the Shoshones at Blackfoot, the county seat, twenty-five miles north, A short time ago the Ban- nocks were dlscovered steallng some ponles, which the authori*los attempted to recover through the assistance of some Shoshones. An engagement took placa, during which several good (dead) Indlans were created. 'The town is not of any great importance in a buslness view, Eagle Rock {s without doubt one of the most prominent towns on the read. Its population Is estimated at 800, It is alt- uated on the great Snake river, which stream crosses the town from east to west, the roarlng nolse of the water caused by the fall over the rapids makes it a very romantlc and interesting polnt to visit, The railroad comdany has bullt exten- slve work shops here, including round- house, rolling mlill ‘and boller repalr room. A notable and verycommendable feature {s the manner In which the labor- ing class is organized. The orders rep- resented are the Knlghts of Labor, num- bering one hundred ¥nd elght members, It s through this, as well as the orders walch I will name below, that honest la. bor gets its just dues. Teton lodge An- clent Order . United Workmen, Dlvislon No. 201 Brotherhood of Locomotive En- glneers, Kimball lodge Brotherhood of Locomotlve Firemen, Morrell lodge Brotherhood of Riilroad Brakemen. These show that brotherly Jove exists here among all classes. Two large mer- cantile Institntions, a bank and two ho- tels are among the enterprises established here. The Chamberlain house, owned and managed by that jovlal and accom- modating caterer, Dick Chamberlain, is deserving of note. A vlslt to Dick will Insure good treatment, 1 cannot refrain from mentioning the manner in which the good loyal cltizens of Eagle Rock cel- ebrated the Fourth of July. The day was observed as only true Amerlcans can. Harmony, loyalty and merry makicg were the greateat features of the day. Although comparatively a new country, Idaho presents opportunities enjoyed in the east. It possesses many of the re- liglous and soclal advantages of more ad- vanced sections. Its area Is greater than than that of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and New Hampshire com- bined. It Is belng traversed by two of the greatest railway llnes of the conti- nent. The notable industry of Idaho is esentlally the finding of preclous min- erals within its borders, and it owes Its first permanent settlement to these dis- coverles. Many belts produclng valua- ble minerals have been only partislly prospected, and many more promising ones remain undeveloped, owing to the Inability to reach a market to distribute the products of one of the gretest Amerl- can territorles, Snake rivermeanders through the east- ern, southern and western parts for over 1,000 miles, and next to Niagara Falls, boasts the most impoeing cataract on the conttnent, Through the southern por- tlon fs the great volcanic belt, which averages fifty miles In width, and being an almost unbroken bed of lava. One cf the most attractive features of the territory are the soda eprings on the line of the railroad (the Oregon Short line), about 145 miles weat >f Granger. Within a radius of three miles are ecores of large eprings, the waters ranging from Ice cold to warm, some of them belng so highly charged with acids and gasses as to prove a most pleasing beverage. Scoros of invalids pay annual visits to this region to take advantage of the carative powers produced by these waters, A town of about 500 inhabitants, named after the springs, 1s beautifally located in what is known as Spring valley. It fs rapldly approaching prominenco as one of the numerous western summer resorts, Golog towards Granger the eastern terminue of the Short llne, Montpelier, a thriving litt'e town of about 400 inhabi- tants, is passed, after which one travels through a barren, unsettled scctlon until the Unlon Paclfic Is reached. Western tourlsts need not hesitate to epend o season in Idaho and enjoy o trlp never to beregrettel, The good cltizans of Idaho are cortalnly tobs comp'imented in the display of their gocd judgment In locating in the most desirable and ro- mantie section of the United States.

But some one must do it, and so It was declded that they should draw lots, and the one gotting the longeat should be cook, but 1f any follow complained of the cooklng he should take that duty himself and exouse the first one sclected.
