Peace and Quiet at the Capital City After the Politicians Depart— Police Court Doings—Other Lincoln News. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN RUREAU.] Tho city council has been devoting a good amount of time latterly perfeeting the plans tor the sewerage system for the city under the Waring system of speciti cations as accepted by the council. In this work of perfecting plans the sewer- nge committeo has visited Omaha and also has had the city engineer of Oma- ha, Andrew Rosewater, down to this city at two different sessions of the council. The results have been some imvortant changes that must commend themselves to the citizens at first sight. Under the Waring specifications the principal sewerage mains were only to be down oight feet in depth, and this has been changed making the depth twelve fect instead of cight. The wisdom of this change will be apparent when it is re- moembered that a basement eight fect or more below ground would bo lower than the sewer mains, making drainage from such buildings impossible. It would seem stran, tha h an oversight should uve bed e in the first 1 but with the drainage Bives twelve foot down this defect is rem- edied. Again the size of the pipes have heen change pigrhteinak * A l{l en ¢hanged to eiwht daa hatond of Atxe inch pipe in Omaha proving sodefective in work that in many in- stances it has had to be replaced with larger. The council here, in view of that tuct and the history of six-inch pipe as in operation there, has wisely changed n the commencement to a standa by experien ferable. Again, the first pl changed in anoth ngement w v bloc sewer casy of u lowing any stoppage to he located and remedied without the ne sity of tearing up strects and pavem to ‘find the point of difficulty as the first plans would have resulted.

The probable reduction in territory will ea: in the mileage laid from twenty-five to twenty miles. But, on the other hand, somd vz will be made in one instanes that may be cited. The estimate as pre- viously made out provided that 13 per cent of the £30,000 should be used in pay- ment for the engineering work. Mr, Rosewater, however, submitted a propo- gition to the councilto do the work for £5,000, which would only be some 7 in- stead of 13 per cent, and a consequent saving of 6 per cent on thatitem of ex- pense. The duestion of accepting this proposition was left with the sewerage committec, with power to act, and itis understood that a contract to that effect will be entered into between the engineer and the city. RECINCT BONDS issued by Scotia preeinet, Greeley county, for the purpose of building a court house, were going through the routine handling at the stute house yesterday. These bonds are, in amount,” $4,000, and they sued to run ten years, drawing in- terest at the rateof 7 per cent per annum. DEPARTED POLITICIANS. The numerous candidates and politi- cians of high and low degree, who felt themse[ves called to the capital city at the congressional committce meeting, ave departed homeward agnin, and peace and quietness v Mr. Clarko was the only gubernatorial candidate present, and it looked very friendly to Jlarke, General Thayer, who was in the city a few days previous, had held an in- srview that h.’ul peen made publie, and Ca n Humphrey, ot Paw- athered at the hom“ubby. and tho minds of a good many mted him not & congressional candidate by announcing himself in the ring, and evidently he is watching for a deadlock at convention time, when a compromse candidate’s hour would come. All now, however, is peace and quietness, and lots of 1t. THE DAY'S DOINGS. In police court yesterduy the cases were only limited by the number of hours that made n working day. The round up of the night showed eleven new pr oners in the cooler waiting for a hearing. One young man, who “evidently wa ashanied of himself, paid out before trial came aud departed. Kight others were arraigned at one time. All pleaded guilty to drunkenness and were fined, only three of whom paid out. Avagrant, or a party caught hegging on the street, was also one of the new cases in court. He recited a plavsible talo of being a butcher by trade, and that he had just arrived by tie pass from Crete, and on account of not stopping at an oating house on the way he had mssed dinner and was looking for sup- The judge heard the tale and as- ssed a line of $5 and costs at its conclu- sion. One of the prisoners who slept in the refrigerator through the long hours of the n|¥|lI suw,as one of the courts guests, when s case was called, the familiar face of his better half, who was ona search for him, and who, finding her lord, furnished financial aid for his free- dom. The cases brought against parties for violating the health ordinance are the cause of a good deal of indignation on the )]x\url of the parties ealle uf. Yester- day Messrs, Brown and J. H. Foster paid fines of §1 and costs each, and the latter gentlamnu remarked that he would enceforth give the police court all the work it could attend to, and that he ‘)ro- posed to see to it that his particular alley was henceforth as clean as a brussels zns. curpetY if he had to have ove& man in the ne %hl.mrhood arrested, mplaints were lo d yesterday against Mrs. Put- nam und%, i: Psln.iye: for violation of this ordinance. Frank Whitcomb, the right bower of Agent James in his work, and who was cited yesterday as being a common gam- bler, was arrested also in pclice court on a like charge, making three counts in all, While fooling around police headquar- ters he was set upon by & party named Breunan, and the appearance ol the au- thorities saved him from being dhnF ured. Brennan was locked up on the charge of assault, and yesterday his fIriends were preparing to bail him out and pay his fine, This was the first case of violence shown the Law and Order agents, and the assault, it is said, was provoked.

Minneapolis Tribune: A friend of mine was telling me the other day of some of the sharp tricks which book agents play i order to gain entrance to private houses for tha purpose of exhibit- ing their wares, The favorite scheme at present seems to be the following: The agent arms himself with a hist ot some of the prominent residences, with their occupants, and a_package of calling- cards executed in the most fashionable style. He then starts out to make his “‘calls.” He stops at the house of Mr. A., rings the bell and politely requests the servants to be kind enough to hand his card to Mrs. A, The servant naturally supposes bim to be & fashionable caller, and anounces to Mrs. A. that “a gentle: mon wants to see her.'”” Mrs. A, there- upon spends half an hour in making her- self presentable, and descends to the par- lor to find—a book agent.

It is a fact noticeable to the average observer that Omaha, compared with other western cities, has but few China men. Lincoln, with about one-thitd her population has twice as many of these mond-eyed gentlemen as has Omaha, The same thing is to be noticed upon comparison of this city with other grow- ing western towns. Why this is, if is not easy to sce. Certamly the Chinaman in Omaha is well eared for, and receives all the protection that he could desire. It hat the many American laundries ave sprung up all over the city have something to do with the ease, and that they are putting John on the back shelf with the washwoman who used to Hourlsk in smehk larcs jumbses tan oy wwelve years ago. Certain it 1s that out of the 75,000 population which this proud young city hoasts, less than three dozen ure Chinamen. And it is said that the Chinese clement of our population is smaller than it was five years ago. Ap arlicle ot this kind, which propeses to tell something about Chinese life in Omaha, must be neeessarily incomplete, A fow of the different phases of the subject are herein strung together, and presented for the benefit of tho curious reade Of the thi city, about twent dry busine: One i notion merchant, another is and two are family servants. about twelve Inundries in the city giving employment to from two to th men. The oldest Chinaman 1 the city is Yet Jhinamen in this e in the laun- Sing, who can lay claim to forty-two summers and winters.

The youngest Mongolian is about sixteen years of age, and a_rather good looking,” chubby faced young fel- ow who is known ariong his” comrades as the **baby.” The Chinaman who S been in Omaha the longest cannot lay claim to more than seven year I The fact is that the does mot care to remain an longer in Omaha than he can help. He is anxious to amass a competency, in order that he may return to the native land, marry and settle down. To enable the reader to fully understand this point, it may be well to reproducein anglici form the explanation made to a_reporter by an intelligent Chinaman. “Our trymen donot care to marry in Amer hé said “heesuse they bride awaiting them in Chi Chinaman is betrothed b, t fore he is ten or twelve years of age to some girl. When both become of ti proper age, they are allowed to 1 n China marriages are made at a much carlier age than in your country. When the young man leaves s home and starts for “America, his bride %{uus to live with his mother, who teaches her to cook and perform all the duties which it is neces- sary for herto know. The girl lives with the young man’s mother until he returns and” marries. During all this time she dares not receive the attention of any otlier young man, nor can she marry. 1t he does not return from America, she cannot marry unless it is known that he is dead; then 1 return to live with her own folks again, And then she can marry some one else.” And so it is that the average Omaha Chinaman is hurrying to saye money so that he may return to the old country and settle down toa comfortable com- peteney with his almond-eyed wife. Quite anumber of Chinsmen have left Omaha in this way in the last or two. There is one Mongolian in the city, however, who, it would seem, has no in- tion of going back to the old country 7 od (0 & white woman here, h t his queue off, and is, altogether, rapidly becoming American I ses well, sports kid gloves and car a handsome gold-headed canc is to his brethren here what Berry Wall is or was to the dudes of New York city.

About one half of the Chinamen here, probably, have discurded their native costume of tho bagy pants, loose shirt, and clumsy pants and have put on the (to us) more civilized dress of coat, pants, vest and narrow-toed shoes. With the exception of the individual referred to above, how- ever, the writer knows of no other China- i ha who has gone so far as to chop off his pig tail. For that in the old country means certain abasement, if nothing wo There is u small but choice coterie of Chinese spirits 1n Omaha who scek an approach to Americamsim, in other ways than in matters of d These gentle- men are “way upn' in the pleasures of oing to the theatre,for instance.

In other ways, too, they are rapidly drifting toward our western civilization, such as in the ac- complishments of drinking, smoking, chewing, gambling, ete., ete. In another direction the Omaha China- man is becoming rapidly Americanized, ‘The Sunday scheol, which is conduc in the Buckingham Home, is doing mu to teach the Chinaman to read and write.
