The system consists of thirty-six drive wells, with two-inch pipe to supply water to two Knowles duplex pumping engines, 1,500,000 gallons capacity each, with direot pressure on about seven miles of water mains that extend ali over the eity. The plans and speciications were got- ten up by A. A. Richardson, hydraulic en- gineer of Lincoln, and the works built by A. L. Strang & Co., of Omaha, svperintended by D. Gilbert, and are without doubt the finest and most complete system of water works in the state. Great credit is due to Mr. Gilbert, who superintended the construc- tion of the works, for the success attained. The aystem was testod for five hours to-day with more than satisfactory results, the first tost belng made at the extreme limit of the city through two lines of 50 feet of hose, nch nozzles, and water wasthrown height of 100 feet against a strong The next test was made with six strenms, and water was thrown to the helght of from 75 to 100 feet, breaking lplm.e glass windows with the streams in throwing to the third s:ory of buildings. The next test was on the supply of water from the wells, the pu being wotked to their fullest eapnelty, the strvet, hydrants belng opened until the streets Jooked like rivers.

WaAsHiNGToN, June 18, —Senator Harrison, from the committeo on Indian affairs, to-day filed a supplementary report regarding the investigation of the condition of the Indians in the Indian territory and other reserva- tions. In the report the committee say re- garding the Crow Creek and Winnebago reservations in Dakota territory that there ate about ten hundred and fifty Indians drawing rations there, The trouble which the committee, consisting of Senators Harri- son, Ingalls and Jones of Arkansas, were sent to inquire irto, grew out of throwing open to settlement, by order of President Arthur, certain lands embraced in this reser- vation, and the subsequent revoeation of that order by President Cleveland. On this sub- Ject the report says: The committee are of the opinion that the reservation is much Inrp(ler than is needed or ean be wisely used for the Indians residing thereon, but if the lands are covenanted by a treaty with them, wo cannot repossess them without the consent of the Indians. We be- lieve it is entirely lirm‘(k‘,lhlu to procure the consent of the Indians to a reasonable redic- tion of the reservation, as well as of a greater one lying west of the Missouri river. An attempt in that direction has already been inaugurated and the necessary legislation has been passed by the senate. But the committee believe hat the settlers who went upon the lands thrown open to settlement by the executive order of Febre- ary 27. 1885, and in good taith made a settle- ment thereon, are entitled to ba protected as fully us possible from the consequences of this unfortunate complication. In regard to the Crow-Creek reservation the report recommends that it be reduced to sueh proportions to enable Indians to nse \\'lhut hey retaln and vest titles in Individu- als, —— A COMPROMISE EFFECTED. Difficulties of the Central Traflic As- soclation Settled, CricAao, June 18.—The committee of ton appointed by the Central Traflic association executive committee, met to:day, and after a short discussion agreed upon a compromise in regard to the ippi river basis. Per- centages at all M ippi river poiuts are to remain at 116, taking the Chicago unit of 100 as a basis. The compromise is based on the shrinkage of diyision of lines wést of Chicago and corresponding increase of per- centages of eastern Hoes. This is accom- plished by fixing the proportions agcruing o the roads west of Chicago on a basis of uniforn mileage of 220 miles to all Mississippi river points at 181 per cent. Heretofore these divisions have varied widely, but aver- aged about twenty-two Jer_, oont The western roads * affected are the Northwestern, St. Paul, Rock” 1sland, Bur- lington, Alton, and Wabash. The eompro- mise et with general favor and will prob- ably be adopted. A sub-committee of tive was appointed to work out the details in_ time to report to the gen- eral meeting of the association at Creston, In., June 20.

The subject was not broached by ‘"ibmly while he was absent, and so far as he knows thero i no change in the situation, There is, he said, no probability of # meeting of the man- agers, and the Rock Island will in no event consent to a settlement of the contest except upon a basis of either a pool and differential in favor of the.St. Paul route. The Rock 1sland ofticials claim that the St. Paul, by making a flat rate of 6lc from Des Moines, Rock Island, ete.. is losing thousands of dol- lars daily, as the St. Paul can sell no local tickets to points fifty miles eas; from any of those points, lucal passengers taking advant- age of the Chicago rate and buying througl tickets to use to local points. There was no change in rates to-day, - - Oyolone Caves Cowne Handy.

Des Motsgs, Ia., June 18,—In the impeach- ment case to-day D, W. Smith, deputy secre- tary of state and ex-deputy treasurer, testitied that when Brown filed his gross reports with the treasurer of the state his attention was called to the fact that his reports were not itemized as were the other state officers, and as his ‘vn‘-dw-nssnr* in office had always been in the habit of doing, Brown replied that it was not necessary, for he claimed to have a detailed account in his office. He was, also requested to swear to his reports himsef and not allow his subordinates to do so. Neither suggestion was regarded, but the unitemized n‘q'»ll& were continued and the treasurer had no knowledge whether the state would or did suffer loss from this manner of keeping the records. The most damaging testimony given was the books of the auditor's office. The only record oi the fees paid out is the stub of ‘the warrants drawn, on many of which there is no record of the seryiee ren- dered nor the time it was performed.

At an early hour the trains commenced unloading their stock of paraphernalia, animals, curiosities, brave men and_fair women, and quick transit was made to the camping grounds and hotels. The location this time was changed, being on Twenticth street, near Nicholas, and it is unnecessary to say thither the crowds went yesterday. The morning parade was very good, and the performances fully up to Sells Bros.” standard, which ishigh in western cir- cuits. Their menagerie deserves a red mark and should recciye more attetion from tlhg press and public than it hitherto has. No ‘adverse erticism could be made of the acts in the arena—they were fully up to the mark and well worthy the attention of any lover of amusement. Sells Bros. arc always favorites in Omaha and they can rest assured that next sea- son they will secure as large a crowd as they did this, proyided they keep the pot of attraction boiling. 3 Hooked a Harness. A few days ago H. Moss, of 1324 Chicago street, pv ~hased a harness at a Douglas treet auction store. While he was at dinner yesterday, the harness was stolen from his horse, which was tied to the fence in front of his residence. He returned to the auction house to pur- chase another -harness, and found ms harness there in the possession of an- other man. The possessor showed that he had purehased the harness from John saunders,: a tin peddlor, for $4.00, and Saunders was accordingly arrested, charged with larceny. He “alleges that le purchased tire harness from a negro at the depot for $3.00. Saunders’ case will he heard beforfe Judge Stenberg this ..+ 1 Three.Qases of Glanders.

Alsberg-Morrison Company in a Shakspearean Play. It was a bold underteking on the part of the Alsberg-Morrison company to make their first appearance here in a Shakspearean play. It was a bolder un« dertaking to select for that play “Moas- ure for Measure.” Few people, com- paratively speaking, here or any other place, know much about the piece, and foewer still have witnessed its presenta- tion upon the stage. It 1s a stately, frigid work, abounding n didacticism, mental analysis, philosophy and theology on the one hand. while on the other the atten- tion of the auditor isdivided between suppliant virtne and inordinato lust. There is not a single ray of light through- out the first four acts. But when the climax is reached in the fifth, the skill of tho master shines with unwonted bril- liancy. It maintains a steady glow until the close, Miss Alsborg is not a groat actress, yot sho is capablo of rising to more than ordinary distinction.. She pays more attention to the melo-dramatic features than to those of a subdued nature, which, while appealing less strongly to the superficial auditor, more strongly displuy the powers of the artist. Her transitions from yveliement passion to quiet but deeper feeling are too rapid to be natural, and in them, her voico 18 seal a8 sympathotic as the sentiment demands. She isa small woman and, making a pretty Isabella, can searcely hope, without considerable study, to idealizo the character. Her acting last night, however, audience and secured her presence, no less than threc times, before the curtain, Mr, Morrison is a ' caroful, intelligent and, in some degree, an accomplished actor, But he has had greater success than ho will ever make of Angelo. This is essentially a voluptuous character, and Mr. Morrison_is, 1f anything, more the ascetic in_ build and appearance. He reads well. His emphasis, intonation and accentuation are commendable but they are in a measure destroyed by un- graceful gestures und attitug in which he indulges at trying moments. Mr. Thompson is of heroic mould, and though given to mouthing in some scenes, made a most effective Vincentis. .

In conversation with Mr. Ferguson it is ovident that the ‘“‘unknown’’ compauion of Ross whose tilts were ing in days past when both belonged to the same regiment. At any rate there is some mystery about the matter, for im- mediately after the receipt of the dis- patch 14 Rothery; Ross’ hacker and Ross himself left for Lincoln.

Bram, June 18.—[Correspondence of the Ber.]—Hon. Charles Brown and brother, J.J.Brown, spent the day in “‘the prettiest town in the state,” looking after their property intorests, and also to look into the matter of {he removal of the postoflic from its present site. If thero is an individual outside of Blair who has aright to express a wish in this matter, Charles H. Brown is the individual, as it was his influence alone that secured the appointment of Miss Clark, notwith- .slmuhn% the fulsome flattery published in the Hoerald at the time of Miss Clark’s appointment, and the ' congratulations received from the Hon. M. L, George. Crop prospects are improving, and far- mers feel encouraged.
