HENNARD THE KING SCHEMER The Veteran Lobbyist Setting the Pegs for His Greatest Effort. JOB TO BLEED THE TAX PAYERS. Peter Schwenk's Railroad Protost— The West Point Oreamery Prope erty- Policemen Claim the Re- ward—Capital Notes, LFROM THE B The ex-Hon made quite a reputation for himself throughout Nebraska as a promoter of smooth schemes for his own benefit, and visitors to the state capital during a legis- lative session are never surprised to see the old man bob up as an earnest advocate of measures in which an appro- priation for Kennard is always entwined, Hitherto he has been very quiet in years, lying dormant as it were, and sav- ing his encrgies for the meeting of the lawmake His defeats at the last ses- sion, however, nettled the peide of the old v n, and, ignoring the fact that it1s his usual hibernating season, the veteran has been busy this winter on a scheme to which he hopes to be able to point as the greate effort of his Dife. This, it is alleged, is nothing less than a raid on the taxpayers of Lincoln, through the city counci for $25,000. Kennard, it must bo understood, is now the owner of a large t of low land in the northwestern part of the city, near the stock yards and brick land during the spring floods is nsually submerged to the dopth of three fe and for residence purposes, its present o ndition, is n worthless, Nobody knows this better than Kennard, and yet he is having some fifty or mor tenant houses moved there.” If a dyke was built around this tract it would keep the troublesome ers off, and the houses would rent readily av a fair inter- est on tihe investment. But such a dyke would cost $25,000, and M Kennard doesn’t propose to spend any such sum on his ~ own account. It will be casier and cheaper to induce the brick and stock yard companies to jom with him in a petition to the council 1o have such a work of publicimprove- ment inaugurated, lobby an ordinance through, and then work the polls for a hopular endorsement of the proposition, ll, might be hard work for Kennard to do nd he is sharp enough to ap- ate it, but with the powerful cor- wtions mentioned to back him, the pressure would be ir tible. And thus the “*pins are set up’’ for what the veteran hopes to be a ten strike. But the Brg has on the job, and it will not go hout a protest. CRAWLING OUT OF A TIOL] The letter of Mr oh, of the I Elkhorn & Missouri Vall Iroad commis: lml)lu. is an imposing oxhibi ast summey Peter Schwenk and other citizens of Norfolk complained to the commission that the road mentioned iscriminating in freight charges agai Norfolk in favor of kremont, and in con- sequence it was impossible’ for Norfolk merchants to hold their trade. Anin tion was had and the truth of the charges proven, and a correspondence on the subject wu u} ned with the com- pany. As late as December Mr. Linsley wrote to the commussion denyin; cts and alleging that even if ‘true th minatiofi complained of was not in violation of the statute.

Not appearing on the latter date the 1 gain brought to their attention, and in re- sponse came the letter from Mr. Fitch as iven below. A comparison of the dates in this statement with thosein Mr. Fitch's communieation will show not only a sur- prising amount of cheek in the latter, but also a decided contempt for the investi- gating body.

XX RENDERED XX STARTS IN AN OCEAN STEAMER Dean Millspangh's last sermon at Trinity eathedral yesterday morning be- fore his departure for his new field of work in Minneapolis, Minn., was listened to by an nudience much larger than usual. The occasion brought peculiar sadness to the hearts of his listeners, as being the last time, in all probability, on which the dean would address them from the pulpit of the cathedral as rector of Trinity parish. Between § and people during the past nine X bonds of affection have been formed and strengthened which separation eannot weaken nor time sever. The sermon of the dean was nof re- well discourse in any sense of the word, nor was the matter of parting alluded to. The sermon wa sted to Septuagesima § el oms anniversary which makes first falling of the shadows of Lent ac the path of the Christinn pilgrim. his taxt from Hebrews 8, rned He obedience by the things which uffored,’” e spoke us follows: “We are just about entering upon ono of the church’s important sons, and one which is each ye: and more regarded with ir dovotion by Trinity patish.

Our commemorations™ seem al- ways to have one of two aspects—-cither they tend to exalt Christ as made to us a sacrifice of sin, or they hold Him up for the imitation of his church as a pattern of godly life. Lent, or the commemors tion of the viour’s forty days’ fasting i wilderness, falls obviously in the class, and the one broad lesson of tian practice which we graft upon s incident is, that a life of godliness must be a severe life—that the cross is not only a badge of discipling, but the ordained means of the spiritual improve- ment. In support of this we point to what the apostle here declares of the di- vine master himself, that snflering was the very school in which he learned obe- dience, for asone can sce from beginning to end’ the path trodden by Him was no sy path. Look along it and you will find everywhere marks of distress and toil and conflict, “of wounds reccived in the house of His friends,” of wilderness struggles and garden weepings and moun- tain prayer and tired slumber on the sea. It ms that the Saviour's whole life was a rehdarsal day by day of the sacred mystery ‘of the passion, a bearing__ of s" cross before the time. He luiu ed obedience by the things that he Suffered. Rather striking Ianguage when we think of the Saviour in his nature of God; not so, however, when we thimk of him as man.

Ali the wharfs and sheds being satupated with rosin and turpentine, the spread of the fire was rapid, and despite the efforts of tho firemen becaine a disastrous conflagration. The wind was blowing from the southiwest, and soon the blocks on the water front were burning furiously. Over $250,000 worth of goods were burned in one warehouse. Owing to the sparks wafted by the high wind numerous private dwellings caught fire and were burned to the ground, including those oi lon. Geo. Davis, Colonel E. R. Brink, Solomon Baer, and about thirty others, In addition ablock of small tenants, occupied by colored people, was completely swept away.

A Discouraged Unemployed Work- man Shoots Himself and W Prerspung, Feb, 2L—Shortly be o'clock to-night people living in the vicinity of Mulberry alley and Twenty-second stre were startled by the report of four shots in quick succession. This was followed by the sereams of ehildren, coming from the home of David Wilson. A crowd soon collected, and forcing their way into the house the were Lortified to fina Mr. and Mrs, Wilson lying on the floor unconscious with bullet wounds in their heads.

Wilson had been out of em- ployment seventeen moaths, and as be had six ehildren it is thought he became dis- couraged. The children say their tather came lome under the influence of liquor, and after supper ordered them to bed. Shortly afterwards they heard loud words and the pistol shots. Tor the benefit of every man who toils daily for the benefit of eapital, which employs him,it is reasoned by the majority of men that man is not paid any more than his service renders profit for those who employ him; and feel at all times that capital opposes less recompense for lubor that it is worth in proportion, while capital; hoot at the idea of labor making any complaints with their demands for justice, and want to know why the labor question cannot be abolished. To the knowedge of man, labor never asks for a thing unjust or unreasonablé, Let any man with mathematical knowledge look into what his services profit those who employ him, and in many cases it will be found from a thousand to fifteen hundred per cent.
