UMAHA CAN HAVE ITS WAY. The Metropolis Allowed to Dictate the Democratio Congressional Candidate, WHAT COMMITTEEMEN THINK. York ernor Connty's Visits strong Superintendent Feeble Minded Candidate the « for apital of Asyin Gov Arme the AL meeting demoerat interest in so far as cand rned as it was lackin nly five of the represented in the ¢ committee, and oy it Omuha ar do as they plensed teomen remarked willing to let Omaha for that P nably they took a basis upon which to apnortion deleg that let that county have all the power it could ask or expect. The place of hold ing the convention—Fulls City bemg the point selected the only demarkation from leaving the entire business of se loeting a congressional candidate in the hands of the Omaha war horses, and the idea of forty-two of them going to the southeast corner of the district to ex press themselves will not, it is stated, meet with unqualitied approval. When the BEE representative questioned ¢ smen from the ssuthern purt of the concernlng Judge Broady a_presumable democratie candidate, invariable answer was that while Broady was a strong man he didn't want to be & candidate, and they were going to leave it with Omaha as much as possi blo anyway. Thercfore if Judge Broady has aspirations of a_congressional nature he might as well abandon them or else put the brakes to the Omaba talk, or he Wwill be entirely forgotten. One of the committeemen was outspoken for Me- Shane, and he lived as far away from MeShane’s local habitation as fie well could and Jive in the district. “We can beat Church Howe” scemed to be o g eral oxpression among them that'w freely made, but the expression was coupled with a doubt as to whether Church would be the republican wirfhier ornot. Oneof the r itatives gave it with a voice of authority that but two days since Congressman Weaver had re turned home, that he was hearty and fleshy, and was just begunming to look like a congressman, *‘And is Weaver looked upon as acan didate®” inquired the Bxk man “Undonbtedly,” was the reply, in a tone of voice that signified that the ques- tion was beyond argument. If any summary of demoeratic senti ment couid be compiled, it would tend to show that the party of that name was solicitous over u probable repubii dark horse. VISITORS AT TIHE STATE HOUSE Among the visitors at the state houso yesterdny was a delegation of York county lllfrlm including Dr. Knapp, County Judge T. E. Bennett, ex-Senator Love and J. W Tnes. Dr. Knapp is, up to date, the last candidaty for gover-: nor, and the York county visiting statesmen state that the doctor will for a surety have his own county in the convention and all the acconipanying promises that adjoining countie: shower upon the aspirant. The doctor was yesterday ealling upon old acquaint- ances in Lincoln made in former times, when he sat in the legislature from Yor county, and if the predictions of his po- litical triends count for aught the med- jeal gentleman will conduct bis cam- paign in alopathic lines. Principal Bowers of the Pawnce Ci schools, who is a candidate before the peopie for the oftice of state superintend- ent of public instruction, was at the state house yesterday looking over the claim and interviewing state oflicials and ac- quaintances. Mr. Bowers was o passen— ger homeward in the afternoon, and he reports thut he has on hund during the summer months u large amount of insti- tute work, and a few days ago he was an attendant at the Gage county institute at Beatrice, where he lectured to the assem- bled teachers. The board of educational lands and buildings in session yesterday formally appointed Dr. Armatrong, formerly con- nected with the Glenwood asylum, to the position of superintendent ‘of the new asylum for the fecble-minded, in course of construction at Beatrice. The doctor comes to the work highly recommended, und he will have charge of oneof the finest buildings most important works in the state, The state veterinary board were in their oflice at the capitol yestorday, com- ing in from atour outin the state, in which several {, ndared horses were found, o pprased and Kilied. ‘The board find an immense amount of work in this Jine demanding their attention, A GREAT DOCUMENT The trial of the Johnson-Hitcheock adultery case brought to_light a queer document, whieh, emanating from & jus- tioe of the peace, is both ridiculous and funny, and legal men, who understand how utterly void it is in force and efiect, will read it with pleasure and put their own construction upon it and infer what- ever they lease as a reason for the crea- tion of such & document.

THE TOWNSITE, This evening Iinterviewed Mr, N. E Stucker, division engincer, who 9 charge of the preparation and construc- tion of the depot grounds on the new townsite, and from that courteous oflicial guined mueh information that will be of interest to the publie. The company is making much mo extensive improvements than I supposed it would do at present, and its action shows that the intention is te not only make this the end of a division, but a very prominent railvoad station. As I have bofore stated, the location is all that could be desived. The grounds are now bemg graded and propared for side- tracks, depot and other buildings. No lots haye been or will be platted between the railroad and the North Platte river, although the distance is fully & quarter of a mile, and on beautiful land, the company reserving it all, several hun dred ucres, for its own use for bulding machine shops and other purposes. At this point the r runs a little west of north und the town plot lies entirely on the east side between it and the high fnlls on the west, The town is laid “square with the compass, Extending from east to west about in the centre of the plot is Center street, 100 feet wide, intended to be the principal business strect in the city running in that direction, and at the foot of this street, where the railroad grade is only & foot high, will be located the passenger depot. The main track and all the side tracks except one will be on the west side of the depot: opposite from the town. The second streef from the depot, named Second street, is also 100 feet wide and is intonded to be the | principal strect running north and south. All other streets are fect wide. Busi- time in S ]]lll. will probably r noss lots are 23x100, and residence lots 60x140 DEPOTS AND TRACKS The grade being made for side track and dopot purposes is 3,000 feot long and US feet wide. The tracks will con sist of the main track leading to the en gine house. The tot length of the seven side tracks is a little over four miles The passenget depot is to be 22%80, pre On the west side town, will be the main the buildiag and the plaiform sixteen y two stor opposit m the front, and betwee main track will_be a feot wide and 300 foot Tong, of conrse ex- tending past it,in_ either direction. As before stat only a side track runs be tween the cepot and town A freight depot 23x112 will be located some distance away from the passenger depot. Among the other buildings will be an clevated conl house 22x174 fect,and an ice house 32x48, both however under one roof, making a building 22 feet wide and 222 foct long An cngine house with soven stalls will be erected now and tracks laid but the butlding will be so arranged that it can be added to and complete the circle at any time. There will of course tanks, also storchouses, ete While T think of it, T will say that the water supply is abundant. In” addition to a viver 600 feet wide, tests have proven that splendid water can be obtained any- where in the townsite at a depth of from twenty-four to thirty feet. Ihe altitude at this pont is 4,827 feet aboye the level of the sea, and pure mountain air is one of the blessings the people of Douglas will always cnjoy. Consumption (except of beefsteak and other hearty food) is almost unknown and never originates her TWO MILES UP TIHE R the railrond will cross Platte, and an 1ron bridge long will be built, ng on piling. Mr. C. P. Treat, of Chicago, who constructed the grade between Chadron and Douglas, has been awarded the contract for grad g 65 miles west of here, or to what is known as the Grove Egg ranch, and the work is now well under head way nd much of it will be completed before the snow flie It is authoritatively stated, however, that no iron will be Iaid west of Douglas this year. During the winter this will be the * terminus — of the road and the liveliest town in Ameriea. ‘The com- pany will ship all its material here to be used next scason;all the government supplies for the posts in the northwest will be unloaded here, which, with the merchandise and freight ne supply the surrounding country city that will certainly contain from 3,000 to 5,000 inhabitants by the first day of January next, will give the reader some- thing of an idea of the amount of busi- ness that will be transacted at Douglas during the r. Next y company will push'its road westw rapidly as possible toward the Pa coast, and two years hence the North- western’s Well's street depot in Chieago will have a train placarded: *“This t for Omaha, Douglas and San Francisco without change of cars.” THE GRAPING EAST OF HERE will be entirely.completed by next Satur- y night, and the depot grounds and side-track grade finished in two weeks. There is but ong bridge of importance to build, that over Shawnee creck, and as soon as the bridge men arrive here,which will be in & couple of weeks or less, they will commence work on the wagon bridge ncross the* North Platte. Mr. Despanois, the bridge constructor,having been awarded the contract for buildi the same. Douglas, temporary as it at present, is w “rustler,” but in two or three weeks it will be a “‘hummer’” when the lots old, trains aro run on reg- ular time, millions f pounds of freight and lumber are being shipped in from the east, and tens of thousands of fat cat- tle are beng _driven in from the north, west and south, and shipped to Chicago. 1f the people of the east want to know and understand the full meaning and im- port of the word **boom.” as applied to a western town, they should visit this place during the next ninety days. E. H. K, sumal be large sheds, ofli Anecdotes About Kenward Philp. Kenward Philp, the noted joker and bohemian of New York and Brooklyn, as very fond of practical jokes. He would stand on a street corner at 6 o'clock, when the horse-cars were loaded 1o the guards, and su(ldunl_}r call and hockon wildly to some man hanging on “by the skin of his teeth on_the rear platform. His earnest and excited man- ner would attract the attention of all, and_the man signaled out would anx- 10usly leave his hard-earned place on the car and rush over to discover what the wild-eyed man wanted. When he arrived at the curb, Philp almost crying with - atience and irritation, would push him ide and yell: “Not you, you block: Not you! That other man there cou idiot, you've made me lose him 117 and ha would turn away, leay- ing his victim to walk home or wait an hour for anpther foothold on the cars. Philp once secured the Brooklyn then- ter for a lecture. Manager MeConnell gave it to him, and the house was sold out almost entirely to newspaper men and actors. The audience came there for a good time and was determined to Jose no opportunity to_ ‘‘guy” anything it could. A pitcher” of ~water was brought on for the lecturer, and McCon- nell started the story that it contained no ater, but gin, Conscquently when Philp filled out a full tumbler and” tossed it ofl, the audience rose as one man and yelled, and when he followed this up by drink- ing four more glasses the people began falling out of the boxes. Philp hadn'tthe lenst idea of what he was to say. He hadu’t even chosen a subject, much less written a word upon it, but he begun “Ladies and gentleman: When I made my arrangements for the theatre with the af- fable young manager—affable was the word weagreed upon this morning, was It not, Mr. McConnell?” and e looked towards the box in which that person sat, but in the roar that followed this sally the manager was seen hurrying down the aisle to the front of the house, ~“AD” resumed the incorrigible Philp, “ho hias gone to the box oftice, I think 1 will step’ around after him and’ se- cure my share.” Andso he continued for an hour with a string of disconnected nonsense, now an ancedote and wow o personal “roast'! for some onein the andience.

We tramped over the pale, ashy, glar ing, staringstreteh of desolation, through burning, quivering days of monotony and sage brush and alkali water and ach ing eyes and parched and bleeding lips and nostriis, cut through and eaten by the sharp alkaline air, mentally pressed and p v_\\iv:nlf worn out cheered on and braced up by the 1i and joyous manner of the ever-hopeful James Trilobite Eton of Concord, James Trilobite Eton, of Coneord, nover moanetd, never wigged back or shed a hot, remorseful tear in this powdery, hungry waste of gray, parched ruin. No regret eame forth from his lins in the midst of thns mighty cemetery, this ghastly potter’s field for all that nature had ever reared that was too poor to bear its own funeral expenses Now and then a lean, soiled gray coyote, without sufficient ‘moral courage tolook a dead mule in the hind foot, slipped across the horizon like a dirty phuntom and faded into the hot and tremulous atmosphe We scorned such game as that and trudged on, cheered by the hope that seemed to spring eternal in the breast of James Trilobite Eton of Coneord Four days we unchanging desolation. went through the motions of slumbering on the arid bosom of the wasted earth: On the fifth day James Trilobite Eton said we were now getting near the point where we would find what we sought. On we pressed through the keen, rough blades of the seldom bunch-grass, over the shifting, yeliow sand :uuhho green- ish gray of the bad land soil which never does anything but sit around through the accumulated centuries and hold the world together, a kind of powdery poison that delights to creep into the nostrils of the pilgrim and steal away his brains, or when moistened by a little snow to ae- cumulate around the feet of the pilgrim or on the of tne pilgrim’s mule’ till he has most of an unsurveyed “‘forty” on each foot, and the casual “observer i cheered by the novel sight of one home- stead striving to jump another, Toward evening James Trilobite Eton gave n wild shrick of joy and ran to us from the bed of an old creck, where he had found an ichthyosaurus.

My opinion is that the day is not far distant when you will wake up and find yourself in the bottom of an untimely pra “You bring us 150 miles to look at an old bone pile, all tramped into the ground, and then say that the animal is extinck. That's a great way to talk to an old man like me, a man old enough to be your grandfather.

It is, however, in general appearance only that they compare with Alleock’s, for they are worse than worthless, inusmuch as they contain deleterious ingredients which are apt to cause serious injury. Remember that Allcock’s ave the only genuine porous - plast the best exter- ual remedy ever known; and when pur- enasing plasters do not only ask for but sce that you get “‘Allcock’s Porous Plas- tors.” The popularity which these plas- ters have attained during the past thirty o parallel, so it is no wonder imitations and counterfeits abound - A fine acre in W est Omaba near Far nam for $500.

They are always rigeed out in tho latest cut of clothes. Thoey never scem in a hurry They loiter through the avenucs and tho parks, which are their favorite resorts on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, and hover about the theater doors at night, like gnats around the electric lights, T all appearances they are youni men o elegant leisure and unhmited resources How do they manage it on $12 a week “1 will show you; moment, d a renter of rooms on Eighth avenue near Forty eighth stroet, the other day. She is a matronly person, and has ajdozen or more yourg men for roomers in her flats. Sho lod the way to the fourth story. At the head of the stairs she opened the door to a hall-room. The room was small but clean. Its fu niture consisted of a bed, u plan wash stand, and two chairs. A row of hooks on the wall opposite tho bed did serviee instead of a clothes-press, and the wash stand drawor supplicd the absence of a bureau, In the corner ot the room be hind the door was a piain pine box, like an ordinary soap box. On it stood o small oil stoye. ‘e young man who rents this now, said the old landlady, “is aclerk in one of the most fashionable retail dry goods houses on Fifth avenue. In personal appearance you couldn’t tell him_from a millionaire, ‘but ho only gets $11.50 n week. Ho pays me $3 a week for this room. Outof the other $8.50 he bourds himself, pays for his washing, buys his clothes—and he always wears the latest styles—in fact, his entire living expenscs come out of the $8.50. What is his se cret? It is contained in this vine box." She removed the oil stove and lifted 4 the box lid. Inside were a small frying pan, a minature coflee _pot, cup and su cer, two spoons, & knife and fork and sever prckages “‘Here, you see,’’ continued the land lady, “is a little housckeeping outlit With it and the oil-stove the young dry- goods clerk practically boards himselt— that is, he gets his own breakfast and supper every day, and no one is the wiser. Those zes in the boX con tain what he eats. In the morning he makes a cup of coffee for himselt, which is an eusy matter with the oil stove. He also cooks a little rice, an egg. a picce of bacon, or, sometimes, 'a small pieee of stenk. Either makes a palatable and sus- tumng meal. That_is before he goes to work. In the evening when he returns from the store ho cooks his supper in the same He does his little marketing himself, too, and e has become so goot atit that he can do fully as well as L ean at the stores.

New Way to Take Carc of a Babe on the Cars. Chicago Herald: “Saw a rather odd thing on' a drawing-room car out in Towa the other day,’’ said a commercial tray- eler; “there was a young mother aboard and she only had three children to look after. The'two older ones were hvely little rats, who kept skipping all over tho car, getting into all sorts of mischicf and leading the poor mother a lively race. ‘The puzzle with her was what to do with the youngost, well-bebaved, fat babe of x months. Of course, the child was too small to sit up by itself, and just large enough to squirm aronnd and fall to the tloor if laid down. The mother couldn’t very well run after her older rogues and curry the babe with her, and she was in a great quandary as to how to manage ner troublesome brood. Finally a happy thought struck her. — She took two large safety pins, pinned the infant by its short ciothes to the upholstering of “the seat, and thus bad her hands free for her other ny. ‘Lhe babe looked quite comic yup there all by itself, and occ y straining at the pins'in its fool- ish desiro to fail down. But it seemed to enjoy its novel position, aad sat that wuy playing and cooing an hour at a time. It was a simple thing, but it pleased us boys immensely.” Lhey are I me up-stairs -— Fast Horse: Johu D.
