Dr. Gerth Is obliged to report to Wash- Ington the result of his Investigations in this state, and It will be impossible for him to enter upon the duties of his new oftice till his return the beginning of next month. He starts this moraing for Washington. In yestorday's issue the typo made it say that the euperintendent of the census had only 81,500 lefc to pay the census out with, It should uave read $15,000, which 1s the amount left to completa ths work of taking the census, The fall returns for Frontlers county are In and foot up 4,107 people.

Drtscoll, of Omaha, for the feeble minded butld- ing at Beatrlce, the appropriation “for which was $50,000. It ts thought the plans of Mr. Ellls for the Home of the Frlendlegs building at Lincoln will be accepted, as no competitors wera In sight. The appropristion for this building was $10,000, There scems to be a total lack of plans and speclfications from Lincoin architocts. The Grand Army reunion commlttee meet here to-day to see about providiog tents and making some other arrangements which are neces- sary to provide for a llttle early. The governor will likely be called upon to see if he wants to draw more old flint locks and tln cartrldge boxes for the militia, or whether he purpcses to comply with the resolation of the last leglslature, and draw 200 hospital tents and loan them to the boys for the next reunion. Gen. H. E, Morrow, of Sidney, who has been appointed to and accep'ed the posl- tlon of commander of the camp, O. O, Howard, of the next Grand Army re- union, s expected to bs present at the commlttee meeting here to.day. The Ohlo soldlers of this state have pre- pared an elegant crayon portrait of Gen. Silas A, Strickland and will present the pletare to his widow during the reunion. Gen.

If the mayor had good reasons for dla- missing the policeman last week the same reagon ought to ba good for not appointing him thls week, and If he was right in discharging hlm, he certalnly is acting in bad fatth with the community In giving an improper person authhrity.

Ing movements of the many that have oc. curred recently to see who shall firally galn possersion of the Smith stock of goods, occurred about 6 o'clock last even- ipg. For wseveral days past Coroner Drexel has been custodlan of the stock in behalf of those partles who had en- tered clalws In the shape of attachments. Last night, however, promptly at G o'clock he relinqulshed his hold and tarned the keys over to Sherlff Miller. About fifteen minutes afterwerds United Stutes Marshal Bierbower appeared on the scene and de- manded Corner Drexel to give him the keye, but the marshal was informed that he bad gotten In just a little too late. All the transactions{n thiscase have been published from day to day In these col- umne, 8o that it is not necessary to re- peat them here, farther than to say that Mr. Lowy, a8 stated yesterday mornlng, had secured in the United States dlstelct court Monday, the appointment of a re- celver, which necessitated that the goods be turned over to the United States mar- shal for safe keeping, untll such times as Mr. Lowy could file bonds and get ready to open up for business. The marehal however falled toget a written order from Dundy for the delivery of goods and Taesday morning iadge went to Stoux City. Wedneeday he was fol- lowed thither by Judge Woolworth, attorney for Lowy, who secured the or- der and returned hers with it yesterday. Then, when they went to the coroner, to demand of him the keys of the store and posseseion of the goods they found, that fifteen minutes previously he had delivered them over to the sherlff. The coroner clalmed that his time was up promptly at G o’clock, and that he could do nothing but acceed to the demands of the sherift. Mr. Thurston, who is also one of the attorneys for Lowy and Uole, went with Woolworth to see the judge; lkewise Groff & Pritchett, attorneys for the [sheriff. The judge ordered, too, that the marshal should hold the goods untll he receized farther and more specific orders from him. The matter now remains to be decided by the state court. ULEVERLY CONSUMMATED: A Daylight Robvery Committed Under the Proprietor's Nose, = One of the smoothest, yet boldest and mozt audaclous robbarles hestd of for a long time was committed in thls city yes- terdsy. Between the houraof ¢ and 11 o'clock a thief entered the pawnbroker shop of Fred Moehle at the corner of Farnam and Eleventh streets, stole from the money drawer about $50 and got com- pletely awsy with it without being heard or seen, notwithstandlng there were several parties in the store at the time. Oa the west slde of the stora ars two show cases, one at the front contaln- ing knives, and one at the rear that has revolvers displayed to view init, Theso show cases are each about ten fect long. Under the one which is filled with shoot- ing frons, Mr. Moehle keeps his money deawer. Tht ends of the two cases are only far enough to admlt a man to pass beatween them. At the rear end of the room and against the fur- ther end of the revolver show case slta a bookkeeper's dk ep A man could enter the rear door, ssah around thls desk and get to the money drawer without being seen, providedts ere was no one behina the cases, but at the time the robbery occarred yesterday Mr, Moehle's clerk was behind the front show case, and not mora than ten feet away from the money drawer selling knives to a party of movers, who had stopped their teams near by the store on Eleventh street. The clerk saye that t could not have been more than fifteen- minutes afcer the robbory was commlitted until he found It out. He remembered that there had been a nice-looking, well- dreseed boy In the store shortly bafore, talking to him about a library book en- itled ‘‘Tattered Tom,” and thought it to bea good one, With thls elua to work on, the case was given to Detec- tlve Emery, who went to the boy's home, No. 2310 231 street, in North Omaha, DAVID CITY. Tufinencs of Modera Methods Upen the West, Railroad Rates Responsible For Retarded Development. Omaha's Proper Relation to the West Aptly Pat—The Peril of Corporations, THE MODERN EVIL, SOULLESS CORPORATIONS, Davio Crry, Neb, Jaly 16, To the Iditor:—The wheather In this locallty continues most propituous for the grow- Ing crops. Harvest Is now fully begun, Small graln has matared eplendidly, Corn {s reaching upward Inches each day. Tame gress pastures and meadows are equal to the very finest in the eastern states. We are also gratified with the increase In the population of our county during the past five years, We hold oar place In degree of popalation with our sletsr countles, and we are quite proud of the growth of your clty, the metropo- lis of our great state, with a wholesome and just ralrload rate law togovern local shipments, Omaha would soon become the granery and market for the millions of bushels of graln and the thousands cf cattle snd hogs produced in productlve Nebraska, Omaha should be the Chlesgo for us. Why it s not, your humble correspond- ent I8 firmly convinced can be attributed to no other cause than the arbitrary pol- icy of our transportation companies. Even if they would make tho same rate locally that they recelve for thelr portion of the through rate your city would handle the bulk of our eraln and stock and aleo would be- come the porcheslng market for our local merchants. Let us examine the highest authority in this country on this subject sgain, ~ After dwelllng at length upon the dangers with which our country is threated by amblitious, selfish men controling monopollstic powers, the Hon, Charles F. Adams jr. says: Comment would only weaken the force of this nar- rative, It sufficlently suggests its own moral. The facts which have been set forth cannot but have revealed to every observant eye the the peep decay which has eaten into the social edifice. No por- tlon of our system was left untested, and no portlon showed itself to be sound. The stock exchange revealed itself as a haunt of gamblers and a den of thleves; the offices of our great corporatlous appcared as the secret chambers in which trustees plotted the epollation of their wards; the law became a ready engine for the furtherance of wrong, and the ermice of the judge did not conceal the eagerness of the partizan; the halls of leglslaticn were transformed Into a mart in which tho price of votes was higgled over, and laws made to order, were bought and eold; while under all and through all the volce of public opinion was silent or was dlsregarded. It 1s not, however, in connection with the present that all this has its chlef sig- nificance. 1v speaks omniously for the future. It may be that our soclety is only passing through a perlod of ugly transition, but the present evil has its root deep down in the social organization, and springs from a diseased public opinlon; failure seems to be regarded as the one unpardonable crime, succets as the all redeeming virtue, the acqulsition of wealth as the single worthy slm of life. Ten years ago euch revelations as these of the railway, would have eent a shudder through the community, and would have placed a atigma on every man who had to do wlth them, Now they merely Inclte others to surpass them, by yet bolder outrages, and more corrupt combinations. Were this not so these things would be as Impossible among us now as they are Intely witnessed on the narrow stageof a elngle state. The public corruption {ls the foundatlon on which corporations always depend for thelr politieal pwer. There Is & natural tendency to coalition between them and the lowest strata of polltical Intelligence and morality; for their agents must obey, not question, They exact euccess, and do not cultivate political morality, The lobby 1s thelr home, and the lobby thrives as political virtne decays. The ring Is thele symbol of power, snd the ring Is the natural enemy of politleal purlty and independ- enca All thls was abandantly {llustrated in the events which have just been nar- rated. We are constralned to follow Mr. Adams in his prophetic visions of what we all sea, and many of our people felt, for the reason that Mr. Adams now is possessed of power in at loast some measare to abate the evlls of which he, a8 tho Impartial andftraly patelotle- ally interested citizen has s plainly warned the Amerlean people. We ehall follow Mr. Adams In a serles of letters to your widely clrculated Ber, but 8o long as the controlling spirits for despolism and vindlctiveness are retained In the general management of the great corpo ratlon of which Mr, Adams {s the lead, those who know tnese men will have little hope of that falrness belng meted out to the general public which Mr. Adams’ well known views wonld lead the unwary public to expect. The infamous practices of the corporation power has well-nigh eaten through the silken screen of our social life, the moth of private virtue, has well nigh destroyed all reepect for chastity, Scarcely a community but could farnish materlsl for the Pall Mall Gazatte, and its bureau of Inquisitors to work upon. Even ourjusually chaste com- munity has its scandal in embryo. One of our late most reepected and trusted citizens has been guilty of compromising the virtue of a fair teacher of our ch!l- . For the respect which is extonded to the relstlves on both sides In this shocking affalr, names are withheld, yet the mutterings of condmnation for the man in this case ara only suppressed by the sorrow which is felt for the lunocent wife and children on the one side, and the much respected sister on the other. Whither are we drifting? Who can command the halt, which will again place virtue, Integrity, and common honesy in the van in the estimation of the Amerlcan people. A return to this is the only sal- vation of free goverament. Mr. Adams In his far-sightedness hss sonnded the tocsin of alarm. Shall we, as a natlon, rush on blind and deaf to destruction? God forbid. e Court Chips, Yestreday in the dlstrict court the case of the state vs John Wilson, for burglary was taken up for trlal.
