IFROM THE BEFE'S LISCOLN BURRAU.| The result of the republican primaries for the city election foreshadows beyond question that at the convention to-day * Hon. E. P. Roggen, for four years secre- tary of state, will be nominated for mayor of the capital city. Following this nomination Mr. Roggen will be elected on Tuesday, and each and all citizens who have a personal knowledge of the man know in advance that he will make an honest, incorruptible mayor, who will give careful and painstaking attention to the duties of the office. Mr. Rogzen has seen Lincoln grow from a straggling eamlet to a city of 40,000 people; knows its wants and necessiti knows what the peopleare asking, and what is nec- essary to do to keep the wheels of pro- gress moving. Mr. Roggen further is not a man who can be bulldozed or corrunted, or wheedled into any scheme or plot by which the city might suffer, He has been a tried and trusted official of the republicans ot Nebraska for twelve years, and never a shadow has been cast on his record—a record that was so thorough and eflicient and honest that he departed from office practically 28 POO! n as when he entered public il ‘The vicious slanders and lies of his only enemies in Lincoln, the State Jour- nal company, that he is nota reputable ‘business man, is answered by his clear and honest record. In this connection the public is entitled to know concerning this warfare that Gere and Hathaway i_lm},lhfiir few ruy\vtnhoullls are waging on 3. P. Roggen. As soulless a gang as ever ruth.-d the state of lé‘ubrnakn in any capacity could take no other course and bs natural and true to their instinets. Personally Mr, Gere has a grievance, because Mr. Roggen, when secretary of state, discharged him from the railway commission because he was representing his own personal ideas and plans rather than the principles for which the commission was supposed to be in existence, Personally Mr. Huathaway has a grievance against Mr. Roggen, be- cause when he put in a_robbing bill for rinting house rolls and senate files Mr, Kug on, as one of the printing board, re- fused to let any such a character of a contract, and it was readvertised and taken at one-half Hathaway's price by Henry Gibson, of Omaha, who, in doing the work, made money at his figures and saved the state over $10.000 from the rices sought to be gained by Hathaway. 'hese are frozen facis, open proof of which can be gained in sixty seconds of time. These, therefore, are the parties with a gricvance who are against Mr. Roggen. They are the upper and the lower crust of nll the opposition thus far demonstrated. The false cry that Mr. Roggen is in any way more of a_s: Joon man than his competitor, Mr. Saw- or, emanates from just such personal- {n]urv sources a8 this, and the baseless slander against Mr, Rogzgen as a business man and citizen originates from the samo fountuin head of false statements. Where- {ore, on the eve of election, it is but just that the republicans and the citizens of Lincoln know the truth in regard to the alleged opposition to Hon. E. P. Roggen for mayor, a man who, nominated for the office by Lincoln republicans, comes backed with a four ycars' vote of conti- dence from the people of the state of Ne- braska, who know the worth of the man the capital city will have for its chief ex- ecutive. Mr. Roggen was educated as a surveyor and civil engineer and followed the profession for years, laying out some of the most prominent sites to-day in Omana, among them being the Paxton house _corner, the postoffice square, the high school rounds, together with both of Shinn's additions and a number of others. He was also a soldier, and is now one of the members of the G. A, R, With all thisrecord, with his intrisic worth, his long experience, is well-known ability, the Journal is now committed to the bolting of Mr. en’s promised nomination because of the petty, puny spite which the pro- prietors of that impcr. as above outlined, cherish for Mr. Roggen. As a republi- can paper, which has shouted itself hoarse with admonitions to the people, when its interests were in view, to stand b, the party, it now proposes to lznndm\ the theory and the man against whom it has not one unselfish objection to find. Ina word, it is willing to sacri- fice tha party of which it claims to be the exponeut to ira:tlly its own selfish aims. ‘The right to bolt a poor republican nom- fuee is one reserved to an’independent +and honest republican paper, but the Journal has never been independert, and its chnnfe in_ this instance is sufficient proof of the dishonesty of its motives. An- other proof of the latter fact is the publi- eation of a bogus list of signatures to the alleged citizens’ mecting, & number of which were never signed, and many of them are known to be Mr. Roggen's personal supporters. CONVICT LABOR. ‘This morning tifteen convicts will be ut to work cutting stone at the peniten- rhr_y for the new capitol. ‘These men have been confined to their cells for some time because of lack of work. They are hired by Stout from Mr. Mosher, to whom the former assigned lis conviet contract some time ago. He pays for them a certain rate per day, and this, it is said, is in excess of what he formerly received himself from the state for their support. This announcement of convicts working upon material which enters into the construction of the new capitol will cause some surprise, especially to those who have become impressed with the idea that hereafter only honest labor was to be employed on the new institution. It must be stated, however, that this im- pression 18 an erroneous one. There is mothing in any of the contracts which inhibits the employment, at this time, of conviot labor upon the capitol. The re- striction does not go into eflent until 1889, by whioh time, the capitol, it s thought, will have been completed. TOO MUCH NOISE. There are too many amateur artillery men, too much cannon and whole moun- tains of juveaile enthusiasm in the uni- versity campus. Matters of the slightest import now suggest a jubilation among the students, and the "jubilation draws out the cannon, and the cannon blares to the annoyance and disgust of the resi- dents for blocks ~ around. It blarea for Church Howe's election last fall until it becnme known toward morning that it had been sounding his defeat. Scveral times since it has been trotted out to disturb the natives and on Saturday night, about the time fond nts were putting their lttle ones to sleep and oitizens had settlod down for their evening's read, the hoarse- voiced nuisance was agan placed at the of these heedless youths, It was 1n honor of the thousands the institution has lately been granted from the treasury of the state. The fact of the matter 18, however, that some restrain- ing hand should be laid upon these dem- onstrative young men or their toy-gun be muzsled except when it ‘may be found noocessary for artillery pragtice or com- memorate an event of national or state importance, TOULTRY. The Nebraska State Poultry and Pet Stock association has just closed an im- Lmrmnl series of meetings at the Opelt ouse in this city, They were presided over by R. R. Watson, while Mr. H. Heath, of the Nebraska Farmer, acted as secretary, It was decided to hold the next show in thiz city in January of next vear, and the corresponding secretary was anthorized to secure an expert ‘udzr, to nct act on that occason. G. F. Betts, Phillip A. George and Dr. F. 8, Billings, of thi were appointed a committee to make arrangements for a poultry exhibit at the next state fair, A constitution and set of by-laws were adopted and the nssociation was ordered incorporated. The ofticers of the associ- ation are: Watson, president, Grand Island H. McCoy, vice-presi- dent, Sterling; G, F. Betts, correspond- ing secretary and treasure, Lincoln; M. W. Nihart, recording secretary, Ne- brasku Cllx- Executive committee: J, V. Sillix, Wymore; W, D. man, Pawnee City; S. L. Roberts, Tekamah; rge, Lincoln, and the presi- dent, vice-president and corresponding sccretary, above mentioned. APPORTIONMENT. It seems to be a scttled fact that all the work done by the legislature in the mat- ter of the senatorial and legislative portionment has been a wastful expenc ture of eflort. As mentioned, the bill has been found sadly defective. It pro- vides for but Y9 members in the house, whenit was thought 100, the present number, had been provided for. Gov- ernor Thayer has not_yet signified what ion he will t: with regard to sign- ingit, the impression, however, being that he will allow it to become a law by lapse of time ahd leaye the matter to be adjudicated by the courts. A number of representalives of the counties wh have lost in the number of legislators here importuning him, and these with the dissatisfaction which has all along been experienced, will, it is thought, prevent him from 'attaching his vame to the bill, PAVEMENTS, The spring 18 now well advanced, and yet nothing has been done toward select- ing a pavement for the streets of this city which are soon to be improved. As arule the people whose thoroughfures are to be improved have no know. edge as to which is the best kind of pa ment to be sclected, and their lack of in- formation has led to the gnrtml forma- tion of paving rings, the object of which i§ to spring a style of pavement in which there are certainly thousands of dollars for the workers, ~Already some of the papers here are suggesting a pavement in which Omaha has foolishly expended thousands of dollars, and do not hesitate to speak of it as the one kind in which Lincoln can afford to invest. 1tisthought that there is a method in this delay, and unfortunately that those who pay for the improvements ure not the ones that are to be benefitted by the same.

The announcement that he was to lec- ture at Mozart hall on “Ihe North and the South” filled the old building. It was his first appearance in Richmond since the war, aud he was rather doubtful about the kind of reception ho would get. When he walked out on the stage he saw before him a distinguished audience of southerners, including several of the leading generals on the losing side. In the fourth row of the orchestra sat General Fitzhugh Lee, and just behind him General Rosser, while near by were ex-Governor‘‘Extra Billy”’Smith and Gov- ernor Cameron. No applause greeted the great preacher as he stepped before the footlights. ‘The ladies levelled their opera glasses at him with cold curiosity, and the men coolly ex- pectant. Some hisses from a few row- dies in the gallery did not tend to dispel the chillness of the reception. Mr. Beecher surveyed the audience for a moment, and then stepping di- rectly in front of Gen. Lee, he said: *‘I have seen pictures of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and I judge that you are the man; am [ right?” The gencral, slightly taken aback by this direct address, nodaed stifflly, whiie the audience bent forward breathless with curiosity asto what was going to follow, ‘‘Ihen,” said Mr. Beecher, his face brightening “fi' “1 want to offer you this right hand, which, in its own way, fought against you and i’ours twenty-five lyenrs ago, but which 1 would now willingly sacrifice to make the sunny south pros- perous and happy, s ‘There was a moment's hesitation,” a moment of death-like stillnessin the hall, and then Fitzhugh Lee was on his feet, his hand was extended across the foot- lights, and was quickly met by the warm grasp of the preacher's. At first there was & murmur, halt of surprise and half of doubtfulness from the audience; then there was a hesitating clapping of hands, and before Beecher had unloosed the hand of Robert E. Lee's nuphew—now govornor of Virginia— there were cheers such as were never be- fore heard in old Mozart, and though it had been the scene of many a war and political meeting. Pozzont.

SOME SERPENTINE SPECIMENS. Horn Toads as Charms—Rattlesnake Skins For Hat Ribbons—Wise Owls For Bouquets—Fire- flies For Jewels, C. F. Holder, writing in the San Fran- cisco Call under date of Los Angeles, March 15, says:—'‘One of tho kings of France had a cobweb coat,” said a Los Angeles jeweler, “and the ladies of the day wore gorgeous spiders in their lofty hats, and to judge from appear- ances the California horned toad 1s com- ing into fashion. Why? Simply be- cause o lady came in the store the other day and left orders to have a gold band put around the horned toad she brought in and to have it locked with a small gold padlock attached to W chain and pin, and although I did not ask any questions I assume that the animal is to be a hat ornament. I have heard of such things before. The other day,” contin- ued the speaker, ‘I saw a man take his watch from his pocket and upon the end of the double chain swung a small but frisky horned toad. So it is evident that the hittle animals are in fashion."” ‘Lhe varicty of uses to which animals are put, living and dead, is somewhat as- tounding. and fashion often dictates usages that otherwise would be repug- nant to the refined taste. VY earing liv- ing animals upon the headgear is no new thing—is, in fact, as old as any- thing. Lizards_were worn upon thp hr:uh)y ancient Egyptians the curious gecko being the one most commonly used, and in India to-day native women {:\.fih-n large living butterflies upon their hair, LIVE BEETLES ON IIATS, Some years ago a young woman ap- peared at o fashionable Newport hotel, and when out upon the driye wore upon her hat an enormous slow-moving, living beetle that, like the horned toad reterred to, was fastened to & pin by a chain,band and padlock, I afterward saw this_un- fortunate insectin a jeweler's in New York, whereit had been laid up for re- pairs, It was a most disagreeable ob- ject but ate its supply of sugar as if it en- joyed life. Its owner succeeded in ad- rtising herself, whether this was her cbject or not; but all pets come to grief in the end and this provea no cxception. It so happencd that the wearer went to an entertainment out of town one even- ing and to astonish the natives wore the big bectle upon Ler hat. During the per- formance the insect, probably being arousad by the light' or heat, hegan to walk about and eaught the eye of a coun- tryman sitting behind, who—not up vagaries of fashion—hoarsel t it was heard all over, s, but there's & bug in and forthwith dashed thy bestle to the our bon- unfortun- ground—ending its reer then and there. In gouthern countries firefle: are often utilized for decorative purposes by the ladies of fashion, being especially adapted for garden parties at night, and probably the most remarkable costume er seon was worn by u Cuban lady at 1 entertainment a few years ago. Jt was a bal masque, and part of the floor- ing was laid in the open air, the bright moonlight being quite sufficient for all purposes. She appeared as ‘“Night,” and was almost covered with fireflies, each of which was caught by o delicate silver wire and held so that " its light was plainly seen. The eflect of this display was ma cent, the living lights ;il aming and twinkling li 1 dixmonds. In the north™ fireflies been often used by ladies to decorate their hair at mght, and a famous fop of Mexico always wore a number about his sombrero. '?’Im curious walking-sticks (mantis) and the walking leaf are also sometimes used in the countries in which they are found as decorations. Not only is the living beetle used, but dead beetles are made nto studs and Eius, the rich Brazilian green varieties eing the most yalued. n Europe, or ather northern Africa, the scarobeus 18 esteemed, and models in stone are used as seals and charms. Thousands of these objects are sold to tourists as having been found in graves and tombs, when in reality they were manufactured in New England it is needless to mention the state) for this trado. peared at a theater in a live green snake coiled about her arm. The little creature was perfectly harm- less, and with its rich coloring formed an attractive (?) foil. It is needless to suy that the fashion did not take, though gold and silver snakes for the wrist, arm and finger are still worn, and, for that matter were fashionable hundreds of years ago. Some of the most attract- ive jewelry of the Cheswold collection represented snakes, lions and other ani- mals, The originals were copied bg Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of New York, an had a remarkable sale and are still fash- ionable. In Colorado I saw a cowboy's sombrero decorated with the stuffed skin of a rat- tlesnake, the latter being used instead of a hatband. I presume that the wearer was “Rattlesnake Bill.” Snakeskins are extremely fashionable when made into belts and bags, and as book covers they are not unattractive, So with sharks; the skin of certain varieties is used for a number of purposes, as belts, pocket- books, book-binding, ete. It is curious that fish scales are not used more in dec- oration. Some are remarkably beauti- ful, especially those of the tarpon, which look more like a trade dollar than any- thing else, the silver seemingly having been poured upon them, They are some- times made into chatelaines, and I have heard of a dado being made up of them. The tarpon is rightly named the silver kiufir. and is the most beautiful of all its kind—a gleaming mass of silver, and the tyve of agility and power. The most successtul and ingenious im- itations of pearls have been made from a secretion taken from the scales of fishes, a glass base being covered with the early lustre, making an almost perfect ac-sumile of the gem of the ocean. In some of the islands of the South Pacific the natives affect in their headgear the curious porcupine fish, This is made mto a mask, the spines bumg left on, while the eyes are represented by the eye- stones or opercule of certain shells. A few years ago the Paris demi-monde be- gan a fashion that spread over this country from Maine to California. This was to wear a gold pig as a charm. What meaning it had no one knew but gold pigs were manufactured by the thousand; but, like the golden calf of old, it has had its day, and one is inclined to won- der where lhng have all gone to. The little animal which people persist in cali- ing the *‘coral insect” comes into fashion every decade or so. The rich deposit of red coral is an imporiant item of trade. A recent set of jewelry ordered by an American lady in Paris is said to be worth a fortune, and the coral was com- glewly incrusted with valuable diamonds. 'he queen of Portugal has a set even more uuique and costly. A few years ago the great conch, or Strombus gigus, came into fashion, and was cut up into jewelry, making sets of great beauty. Some “that 1 have seen were valued at $500, but sections of the shells that 1 have cut have always faded in the sunlight—the beauty les in. the delicate pink hue. The so-called pink poarls come from the conch, and are al- ways fashionable, and when set in_ dia- monds present & rie b contrast. Fossil coral is made on vart @w objects, such as paper-weights and jowoi-boxes, the hard- encd surface taking & tine polish. DOGS AS PETS, There 13, perhaps, a rr ater display of fashionable caprice in live animals than in dead ones, and their arts—this is cs- pecially 5o in rogard to pets, Last scason every young lady of fashion in the east affected a big dog, ecithet a mastiff or a setter, and dogfanciers could searcely supply the demand, and Iarge sums were paid for good dogs. The fashion is set in dogs by somepne in England generally. It any of the royal family are scen with dogs of a certain kind, the brute forth- with rises in popular favor, and thou- sands of these dogs are sold. The same is true to a certain extent in this country, and at all times the fashion 1n_pets has been set by socioty. Pope is said to have started the fashion of Kkeeping spanicls, and his dog Bounce was famed }nr and near. In a letter to a friend he says: ‘‘As it is likeness that begets affection,so my fa- vorite dog 18 a little one, a lean one, and none of the finest shape. He is not much of a spaniel in his fawning, but has— what it might be worth any man's while to imitate him in—a dumb, surly sort of kindness,that rather shows itself when the thinks me 1l-used by others than when we walk quietly and” peaceably by our- selves. 11 it be the chief point of friend- shir to comply with a friend's motions and mclinations, he possesses this in an eminent degree, He lies down when [ sit and walks when Lwalk, which is more than many friends can pretend to. He might have said or written as another poct did about his dog: Tlere rest the relics of a friend below, Blest with more senso than balf the folks kno Yond of his ease and to no parties prone, He banned no sect, but calmly gnawed his bone: Performed his functions well in every way— Blugh, Christian, if you can, and copy Tay. Byron afieeted the Newfoundland, and his fancy produced a eraze for these no- ble dogs, of which he said he possessed all the virtues of man without his vices, Byron was unfortunate with his . This one went mad, and another a bull mastiff, attacking a horse, was shot through the head. In the time of Byron there lived a famous dandy who said that anything he might do would be taken up by the town, and to prove it he hunted up the worst mongrel cur he could fiad, had it shaved very closely, and appeared in public leading what he termed 8 hairless dog of China. The next day he was beset with bequests for the name of the fancier who owned the stock, and after supplying some of the gentlemen with the dogs he gave the joke to the publie, much to their confu- sion. Sir Walter Scott did much to pop- ularize dogs, especially the nobler breeds, and Cowper's spaniels, Beau and Marquis, had nany rivals, OWLS AND ALLIGATORS. It 1s quite the thing to have an owl in the library--not a live one, buta well swifted specimen—which, if you have not much wisdom yourself, shows that you appreciate it in others; but why the owl should be taken for thatype of wisdom 1t would be difficult to tell, as they are pro- verbialiy stupid, obtaining their wisdom as do some people, by w ly possessing the faculty of keeping still and not let- ting people find out how stupid they ly are. A few years ago there was a sudden demand in New York for young alligators, and large orders were sent to Florida, and hundreds of the reptiles were sent north and sold. Gentlemen sent them to their lady friends, snd car- ried them about “in their pockets. “Why,” said an old gentleman who kept a curiosity store, ‘I have over fifty alli- gartors sold, and as I promised to come around and teed some of them it keens me busy. It's all fashion, an'1 reckon they’ll want to keep whales rext.”” The establishment of the aquarium in New York started a craze for fishes and home aquaria, and in several private houses these were fitted into con- servatories in a very effective manner. The especialdemand was for a fish called the king kio which was mere- 1v acuriosly shaped goldlish, the result of n Japanese attempt at breeding. The goldfishes are extremely prone to mal- formations, especinlly in the tail, which often spreads ont like a fan, and in the case of one that I saw hung down like a plume, and being a delicate silvery hue presented a beautiful contrast to the deep let body. The fish was valued at $500, yet there are people who would willingly have paid this sum to posscss it. In China and Japan these fishes are bred in remarkable shapes. some have three tails, others but one ray to the dorsal fin,ewhile others have telescone eyes. The natives breed them carefully, and have numerous names for them. FISH OF THE BLACK CROSS, T once found a remarkable one among a lot of goldfishes taken in the Hudson river, or rather a little stream or pond running into it. It was what the Japunese called the fish of the black cross. The tail was broad and flat, and down the RHECMATISM LAME BACK And many other complaints cured by DR_pRlcE'S CREAM BAKING pgwDE 5" wost peRrecT WA, d1 XV 018 EVIDENGE OF 1887 A Prominent Buffalo Physician says: BUFFALO, N, Y., Fob, 14, 1887 ne, Chicago, 111, Sir: 1t 18 somothing { for one of (he medieal profession Lo fadorsn ndvertised artiole; yet I take plaasure fn inform. one of your Klsotrlo Boelts cu) me of . from ‘whioh T iad sufforod 3 yearm | bave recommeniiad your invantion to At least forty ferlne with chronio difeasesof va ofthe heart, nervous ‘thoumatiam, pain in tho back an 1 eto.

Fashion demands that feathers shall be worn, and consequently birds of all kinds are brought to market and dyed to meet the requirements. Even eggs are used, especinlly those of the ostrich, being sus- pended by a slender Gord in halls, to carry out the idea of the fabled egg of the roc, that hung in one of the hells des- cribed by Sinbad.
