That is, stock could be billed to Chicago, from any western point, by the way of Omaha, and could be halted at Omaha and re shipped, or if sold the buyer could reship to Chieago at the same rate charged for stock going straight through, The Clica- go & Northwestern and Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy insisted upon thisexception being made, that all stock coming into Omaha on any of their branch lines should go out over the same road to Chi- cago, or otherwise bo compelled to pay local rates. The enforcementof thisrule was equivalent to himiting the Chicago & Rock Island and Chicago & Milwaukee to such stock as came in over the Union Pacific. 1t soon became apparent that y conld not even depend upon the Unlon Pacitic stock, for when a buyer buys a number of cars of eattlo or hogs, and is compelled to ship one or more of them over a cortain road, he quite natu- rally wants them all to go_together, and hence t road gets the whole shipment The Milwaukee gave up with good giace, to what appes to be the inevitable, and looked quietly on while the othor ronds fought over the bone of contention. The Rock Island struggled hard all sum- mer to maintai her ground, but was one after another of old shippers drop off and to either the Chicago, Burling- Quincy or to the Chieago & North- western, for the single reason that she 1 cut off from hauiing anything except Union Pacitic stoc On_Wednesday ning of this we the Rock Island uled out a train of live stock, consigned to East Cambridge, Muss., and shipped by an old patron of the Rock Island, who had Iately been shipping over the other roads. As soon as it was known that there were several cars in the train be- longing to the Chica Northwestern existing tratlic t the compelled to see her and to the Chicago & Burlington, there was a general excitement among the rail- road men. Yesterday morning W, N. Babeock, gencral western agent of the Chicago' & Northwestern, tened to the Omana stock yards to investigate the reported action of the Rock Isiand. He looked the field over carefully and it was quite evident that he was not over and above well pleased with the outlook. He ked the matter pver with the stock yards people and is reported to have hinted: thathe would stop the live stock on the line ot his road from coming to Omaha unless his road “eould haul it out in. Last night the Rock Island hauled out stock that had come in over the B. M., and a pro- longed howl went up from the Burlington. It is quite evident that the Rock Island has dete her share of the Omaha life stock traflic, and it remains to be seen what the other roads will do about it. PATCHING UP THE TICKET., The County Democracy Skirmishing for Senatorial Timber. The democracy are haviog a hard time in finding men who will act as standard bearers for divided factions in a hopeless contest. They held two meetings in the city yesterday to select men whom they hove will consent to allow their names printed on the senatorial tickets, The float senatorial convention composed of nine delegates from Douglas county and five from Sarpy, met at R. W. Patrick’s office yesterday afternoon to select a candidate for float senator. Mr. Charles Kuaufmann was chosen chairman of the uvention. ‘The committee appointed to see the Hon. Fred Metz and induce hir if possible to make the race reported that they had carcfully performed the duties of their appointment, but that their prayers and tears and coaxing had all been n vain, as Mr. Metz was firm in his intention and determination to take no part whatever in the contest. The delegates then cast about tor a substitate for Mr, Metz, but failed to find among the prominent Gern whose names have be connection with the place. They finally selected upon James E. Campbell, of Sarpy county, and, finding to their joy, , that he would probubly consent to muke the race, nominated him by acclamation and then adjourned. Mr. Campbell is at nt county treasurer of rmined upon having \avieg held the position for enrs, , He was county el for a number of years before hie was ¢) . ccted to his pres- ent position.

After some discussion the committeo selected William A. Paxton and J. T Paulson as senatorial eandidates. It is not snown that either of these gentlemen will ac- copt the nomination.

A rather peculiar accident occurred on Tenth street near Jones about 5 o'clock A afternoon. Several lads were playing together, when a boy named Powers engaged ina race with one of his companions. While running at full speed young Powers struck a telegraph wire which repairers had stretched from apole. The wire canght the boy by the neck, and such was his momentum’ that his feet were thrown oyer his head and he fell a distance of over five feet on the hard pavement. He was picked up in an almost unconscious condition and taken to Bell's drug store, where Dr, Darrow sewed up a large gashin hischeck caused by striking a sharp paving block.

Boston Traveller: Captain Boggs, a Virginian, wl a captain’s license on the Mi; ppi river before he was of age, and who for fourteen years had the contract to supply the military posts in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Ar- izona with fuel, tells the foilowing story: “I was down in the Ute reservation in Colorado and had strolled down to the shores of a small lake while my mules and teamsters were eating dinner, when Lenme across a party of about a'dozen Indians. They w rmed with rifles and were shooting at a snag which stuck out of the water about 200 yards distant. ‘I'he stakes for which they were shooting re composed ot a quarter of a dollar for each man. I stood watching them for some time, and then decided to enter the competition, ch man had three shots and the mun who hit the the most times won the pot. The. misses were told by the splash-in the water; the hits by the absence of the splash. After some parley with the redskins I got them to allow me to enter the mateh though they compelled me to deposit half a dollar while they put in but a quarter. I { a Henry repeater with me that, fortunately for my purpose, was then un- loaded. I was accounted one of the best shots in that country, but knew that the Indians were not by any means slow. I slipped three cartridges into my rifle, and L did o I broke the ball off, thus ledving a blank cartridge. Of course, no splash followed any of my shots, and the Indians thought I had nt the snag every time. I 'won that pot, but the next time T intentionally lost by not breaking the bulls off, and by taking indifferent aim. I then broke all the balls off until I had won $18. Then the Indians, who began to look at me with suspicion or awe, re- fused to shoot any more. Linvited them up to the store and spent the money on knick-knacks, which I divided mnong them. I then took them buck to the lake and showed them the trick. They were very much surprised, but took it in good part. On returning that way a few days after I found the sume tribe on the | Iu zh- pidly overything. T Jearned inned’ every Indian in the country that they could get to shoot against them. I said nothing, but mused on tl liness of the savage to adopt the white man'’s tri = S N Wine With a History. Sult Luke Tribune: J. A. Murray, of Butte, Mont,, is the possessor of twelye bottles of wine with & history, The car- liest known of this wine is ‘that it was found in a subtercancan vanlt inside a stone roceptacle, in . desuitical mona: tery that was demolish during a loenl feud among religious tics, It so ppened that the eve of an epicurean fell upon it, and he secured it as the most valuable of the treasures, dat into Poland and presented it to the crown, for which he was rewarded by t honors and tities that could be upon & private eitizen. At the muarringe of the Princess De nizof Poland to the heir apparentof the crown of France the only remaining basket of this price ss8 vintuge wis presented to the prin for tho nuptial oceasion. An ady turer by the nume of Bouforte, who secured the position of second steward to the crown, stole twelve bottles of the precious nectar and replaced these with twelve of an inferior article. These twelve bottles he brought with him to America in the year 1790, He communi- cated the nature of his special treasure to his most trusted friend, Henry Coatway. The cupidity and avarice of the latter overpowered his rveason and he killed Boutorte to sccure the wine. The deed was no sooner done thun he feared the v ance of the law and resolyed to fly to distant parts, for a time at least, until the excitement of the murder would die out. Before leaving he buried the twelve bottles with their history far down among the roots of an ancient ok, Fifty years after, on uprooting this same tree, a uewly converted Mormon found the treasuve and took it with him when he migrated to Utah, When Brigham Young was made ac- quainted with the nature of the valusbie articles contained in the twelve bottles he informed the owner that God had made him the instrument to find this treasure that he might give it to the head of the church, and forthwith took the vintage. The w wis in turn stolen from Brigham by an apostate Mormon, who brought it {o Montana, and on his death bed, at the miuing camp of Pioneer, he bequeathed to J. A, Murray this wine of such an eventful history as a testimonial of his gratitude to that gentleman for his having loaned him at one tiwe for the purpose of caling a hand for Julius Levy, by which he took down & pot con- taining $1,300, shore shooting a big match with a n tribe, whom they were r of boring cleaning out that they had e A Missouri burglar, while attempting toenter & house, hau his lower. juw shot off.

DATLY | | BEE: FRIDAY, hat Civility, Should Be Use ingly Sparingly, re The Study of M Little of the Thpughts of manity in this Bustlingand Practical Age. Philadelphia Regord: In this bustling and practical we are too apt to be careless as to gracks of manner and con versation, We look back occasionally on the days of Pericles, when the Athe ninns talked in high-sounding phrases and saluted each other with the de ence which subjects only give to Kings, oron the days of the ancientregime, when the courtiers of a Louis were con for a conventional politencss and grace that scarcely served to conceal the hatred, the venom. the meanness and vulgarity that lay beneath. And, there fore, associating politeness either with a state of gociety where there is but little freedom of thought, speech or action, and where the social fabric is built up of classes who are diyided by laws of caste, spicuous or else with sleepy oriental countries wher: men lead the life of lotus- ers and rost in idleness, the udy of manncrs engages but little of our ‘thoughts. We tacitly admit, of course, that the exercise of such an_ atri- bute is' all right; but our great wenknoss 18 to look to results instead of to dotails, and we are too apt to forget that those results are bronght about by the very means which we make light of. It must be_admitted, however, that we admire politeness in others. As a people, be neath the rough exterior which we so often assume, we have a sympathetic and a kindly nature; we are alive to a tale of distress and are ready to respond to the ery of suffering; but we are too carelesa of the little courtesies which add such s charm to either social or business inte course. Politencss my b v one of the delicate humanities; it sweetens ex- istence; and besides being a high social virtue it is—and this is something worthy of attention in such a practical age reatly useful in many ways, and pre itself to be a safe and remune business investment, It is hardly possible to estimate the amount of unconscious czotism to be found in_overy man and woman. It crops out in the most unexpected quar- ters, and_exercises a large influence on the ‘common afiairs of life. Civility, therefore, aflfects us more than native modesty would probably care to ac- knowledge. We look for it in_others, no matter what may be the particular r tion which they sustain to usand we to them, ana we feel disappointed and are rufiled by its abserice. The larger the city and the more ¢rawded the commu- mity the less do wé fid commercial po- liteness; it seems to dwindle away in an inverse ratio to the square of bu Men will tell you, if tiey ever cuss the matter, that they have no time to bestow on hollow phrases and super- fluous conventionalitiés, and that there is no placein the cqunting room, the store, the warchouse, or the factory for the meaningless and stegrotyped genuflec- tions of the, gourt or drawing room. This may, be true, but there is “‘ample room and verge enough” for the happy medium ot which Horace sings wituf,m ‘trarfsforming our- selyes into boors 'or Puryeydrops.

Men will argue somectimes that they have no time to be polite, forgetting that it takes the same amount of time to be uncivil and disagreeable. There are more things needed toinsure success than money, experience and integrity. The amenities which some despige s0 much are also potent factors; a ven if you can point out a man who is rude and churlish and yet successful in life that is no argument against the truth of the cory; Ltsimply shows that he has sue- ded in spite of the want of politeness. 1f, therefore, civility be such u large and potential ingredient of success, it 1s strange that 1t should be used ar- ingly.

Things Many People do Just for Fashic Sake. Manchester Union: One of the die- tionary definitions of common sense is Such ordinary complement of intelli gence, that, if a person be deficient therein, is accounted mad or foolish,” Now a person may be guilty of a wad freak or afoolish act, and still be ac- counted neither mad or foolish as the world goes, and?#dt one of us but has friends who at sephe itime or other have done something ‘which hns shocked and surprised us witjiout raising a suspicion that they were ngf In their right winds. We seem to need-anotber torm to d nato that level-headedness which dis guishes some pevple 'from the common run, which prevgnls them from making mist: met withgofrequently in others, and that leads themyiinstinctively, as it were,to dollmrifii(u ng atthe right time in the night wiy, quality has 'his been anravl{ srmielf “horse sense,” as fre fmmon sense, and distinguished though the pl ‘ot a pleasing one, 1t is %rm uently uspd for want of a better or more euphonions krm, Possibly there might be diversity of opinion as to the vélive merits of these two kinds ot sense, but for our present urpose the dictionary must he authorit or the one, and each reader’s experience supply his idea ot the other. In giving bis notion of the difference between horse sense and common sense, the Rambler wishes to diseluim any intention of pro- claiming 1t as the only true one. It is what he believes, simoly, and the reader is at liberty to agree or disagree, to sub- tract from or add to as he please By way of illustration, let us recall the recent spell of cold weather, when for sev- eral mornings in succession the mercury drepped to or below the freezing point. A northwest wind forced the cold into most houses, sending the temperature down to a voint uncomfortably low. It is safe to say that there are in this eity very few hou { the middle and well- to-do classes that we provided with fuel re not at that time ad heajg appar OCTOBER | elimate. | when compared with the dar ) iy, 1886, } 3 1 atus, and horse sense would have kindied | break out of prison, climb a w 1 furnace without delay No; itis too early A fire in stove a Common sen says 1 the season I fir We shall have more warm weather yeu before fall veally sets in'" So men shivered over their broakfasts,and delicate women 'm( light shawls on their s ders—it seing too early forswarm clothing—and spent the day trying in vain to get warm Robust me [ t cold | women who were not st were prostrated with throat and lung troubles, and were lucky not to have pneumonia.

Common sense in the feminine gender goos thinly clad in guuzy garments up to warm snap. A certain date in the season becanse fashion so decrees, though the nights be frosty and the biting northeast wind penetrates to the very marrow, thus be: coming a ready if not a willing vietim fo Sprovidential? dise nd early death, which horse sense would have casily averted by the aid of warmer_ clothing. Common sense in the school board per- mits children to sit in school rooms with the temperature twenty degrees lower than s safe; selects and retains incompe- tont teachers; makes an errand boy and clerk of & high-salaried superintenaent; gets up personal wrangles and quarrels among th m-mlwrnnhlu board--all of which u little horse s would avoid us detrimental to the vublic school in terests, Common sense sends the boss of a zang of city laborers down into a hole to do wlaborer’s work while ten or fifteen men stand idle waiting for some one to tell them what to husy themselves about Horse sense tells the boss it he would put his coat on and do nothing but direet his men so as to keep all of them em ployed, ench in his proper pluce, he woild get more work done by nightfall, and really earn more money for tho city’ Common™ sense may be a willing and ready worker at manual lubor, but it takes horse sense to engineer a gang of hands so that no time s frittered away, Comnion sense builds hundreds of feet without putting in cesspools at street intersections, so as to fool the pub- lic by making it appear that the appro- priation is zolng a long ways. Horse sense would finish the work as it went along and make no transparent attempt to doccive the public, which often sees much deeper into such schemes than it is credited with doing. Common sense—unless we are willing to admit that the majority of our citizens are mad or foolish—combines to put men in oflice, elothing them with authority to make laws and squander treasure, when such men are totally unworthy of trust. Horse sense would sénd some of them to the penitentiary and keep others in pri- vate life where they belong. Common sense keeps thousands of men tied down to routiue business year after year, robbing them of all pléasure ex- cept that of money-getting, until they are so fettered by habit that it is impossi- ble to break aw: Horse sense says: “Puton your coat and hat, take your family, if you have one, or if not go alone into the country or anywhere you choose away from your business and enjoy yourself. Your business will run If a few days without you. If it won't, you have builded all these little purpose. You will hve Jon nd be bappier and your family will be ben- efited by the chang Common sense les s many men into all sorts of v|s|om|r%’ schemes, political and others, in _behalf of temperance. Horse sense would look closer after the young, provide healthful places of amusement for them, teach them the benelits of so- briety and industry, and, instead of let- ting “them come up themselves, bring them up in such a way that they shall lay the foundations for honorable and useful hves. Common sense keeps the open horse cars n use long after they should be dis- carded, I they go through the streets crowded with shivering mortals, who, unable to walk,a Jare compelled to undergo the torture of 'partial freezing. Hol sense, just the tiniest grain of it, would house the open cars quicker than a pro- fessional ta n get round the corner, or a mugwump change his poli- tics, Such hecdless management can hardly be said to be endowed with com- mon sense even, for it comes very near the line of foolishness on the part of the company and makes its patrons deeidedly mad. "This list of differences between the two senses might be extended indefinitely, but the above mustsuflice for the present.
