NORTHERN DELEGATIONS HERE. ¥'he Businecss Men to Be Consulted— The Painters’ Trinmphal Proces- sion—Funny Experience of Two Mikes-Other Local. The Yankton Railroad. A delegation of business men arrived n thiscity last cveming from Yankton, Dakota and Wayne, Neb., in the inter- ‘@sts of the Omaha & Yankton railroad. At the Paxton hotel they were in consul- fation last night with Secretary Not- tinger of the board of trade. The repre- gentatives are Major J. R. Dawson William W. Powers, A, B. Slater and John E. Bennett. The former gentle- men are the forerunners of a party of orty, which will arrive in this city on ominy eveningl. The meeting last even- ng was informal and the project was discussed in a general way. It was ed that the Yankton business men E’loul\l be received by the directors of the OA| of trade on Monday night, Ou Tuesday evening a public meetin will be held at which it is expected a fu attendance will be had of the business men of the cil{. The Yankton men will resent the importance to Omaha of aking their city tributary to this center of trade. A line has already been sur- veyed to West Point, Neb., from this city, wnd the Yankion gentlemen last night ptated that from West Point a prelimi- nary line had been run which showed B practicable route for a_railway. Dele- gates from St. James and St. Helena will wisit this city with aview to securing a divergence of the line to their towns, . Tho committee also met Mr. B. F. Bmith, of Boston, who has such large gzroperty interests here and who is Yuulill a fow days in the city. They plso had an extended interview with Dr, George L. Miller. Mr. Smith expressed himself as firently interested in the pro- ject of a railroad to Yankton and was leeply engrossed in conversation with he Yankton and Wayne delegation for a alt hour. He expressed himself as con- winced that the proposed line would pay pnd that it ought to be built at once. | When questioned by a reporter as to #he financial help which Omaha was ex- ected to extend to the railroad the ankton femlslnrm stated that they had malculated $150,000 of the _required 500,000 could be raised in Yankton, 'ayne and _ St. Helena. This would leave $350,000 for Omaha to contribute. 'he delegations considered that the con- truction of such & line would both mefit their towns and would, at he same time, add 20,000 people to !l)mnhain two years. They state that the retary of the board of trade assured hem that as soon as this railroad was gured a large elevator and an extensive uring mill would be erected. The con- t,ectlon which such a railroad would give maha with the corn raising belt of Wouthern Dakota and the wheat growing reatly enlarge our market of products. A-Emlon of central Dakota could not but a b tis claimed that, in reality, this roaa would be the missing spoke in the wheel ‘ot which Omaha 1s the hub, Yankton is connected directly with Mitchell and uron by the Northwestern road, and hus Omaha would become directiy con- mected with iiie great Dukota Tregion Mwhiclr these roads reach into, including glie fertile James river valley. MET ON THE ROAD. IMax Schroter One of the Witnesses y of the Texan Robbery. {_ It is a well known fact thatin all of he railroad accidents which have of late ken place in the country, some person rom Omaha was on board the train® he latest exemplification of this truism as been fonnd in the presence of Mr. lax Schroter, the well known pharma- 18t of this city on the train which was obbed in Texas a fow pights ago. Some f the particulars have already appeared n the papers, but they differ in many ‘espects from the real circumstances of he case. Mr. Schroter arrived in town Friday night and was met by a BEE re- orter this morning. He said he was on he train, on the international line, bich had just renched MeNeill, on about ten miles from Austin, ched the place at 9:80 o'clock. nt was ns dark as pitch. The rain was signalled and came to . 8top. It was greeted with a single t. A few moments later a couple of losions took place, and later a fusi- e, lasting some time, threw the pas- gers into uncontrollablo fear. Mr. lroter was in the sleeper. The win- near him was open. He turned to out and pull down the curtain when voice outside said, “Take back , sir.’ Mr. Schroter took it ack. Passengers immediately threw their /¥aluables under the seats, and nearly all of them lay upon the floor in promiscuous ror and confusion. One of the pas- nfierl.

THE PAINTERS JUBILANT. Qheir Successful Strike—Large Pro- cession Yesterday. Yesterday the painters to the number - of 200 paraded the streets on account of their anccess. The first stop was made he BEx oftico, where the band gave val seloctions. Mr. Craven, who has president of the meetings as i m|laul the strike, then stenped for- . and ealied upon Mr. E. Rosewater, editor of the BEE, and addressed him in . gome complimentary words, saying, 4 ong other things, that the Beg, its ed- and mpioym had stood the pail . and pa- hangers in & stroug " yot conserva- L“o n:\.nnorin ’l‘hq-r .:llt a d:lty.

Mr. Rosewator's remarks were rocoived with cheers. The procession then counter- marched and turned down Tenth street to Metz's hall. There several speeches were made by members of the organiza- tion. Mr. 8.'G. Hunt, president of the assembly and secretary of Knights of Labor assembly 9,209, iuformed the mem- bers that they were to 70 to work on Monday, but i one thing agreed upon by the ‘‘boss” painters was violated they should leave their places. There was plenty of sup- vort at hand from local trades organiza- tions and from other places, St. Louis sending over three hundred dollars. Mr. Hunt said, in continuance, that the journeymen painters could hold out for a year as far as financial matters was concerned. Mr. Craven then produced the gavel that had been used during the strike meetings, and on suggestion, it was made a sacred memento of the assembly. On resolution, Messrs. Bons & Mumm, Propnelurn of Motz' hall, were thanked or their Kkinduess during the several sessions of the assembly. A meeting of the painters will occur this evunxngé Altogether this has been one of the best regulated and most sensi- bly conducted differences between em- )]oigrs and employes that ever occurred 0 this city, and the painters and paper hangers to-day stand very high in the estimation of the citizens of Omaha. THE SCHOOL ELECTION. To the Republican Klectors of the City of Omaha. The republican electors in the several wards of the city of Omana are requested to meet in caucus at the places herem- after designated, on Wednesday, June 1, at8o'clock p. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination nine members of the school board, each ward being en- titled to one candidate. 7he result of each ward meeting, duly certified to by the president and secretary thereof, is to be forwarded immediately to Mr. R. W. Breckinridge, Nebraska National bank building, in order that the necessar; tickets may be printed and distributed. Caucuses will be held at the following places: First ward—Tenth streat school house. Second ward--Center street school house. Third ward—Dodge street school house. Fourth ward—High school building. Fifih ward—Lzard street school house. Sixth ward—Long school house, Franklin street. h ‘month ward—Georgia avenue sch ool Eighth ward—Saun K. ot b rard- -Saundars street school house, Ninth ward—Farnam street. ‘The members of the central committee will please see that the school houses in their respective wards are properly pre- vared for these meetings. As the selection of a school board is a matter of great importance to the city of Omabha, it is particularly enkv!ned upon the republican electors in each ward that the{l exercise care and sonnd judgment in the nomination of candidates. Select intelligent, conservative freeholders who bave the best interests of our school sys- tem at heart, and who will demonstrate thal fact by their work after the election. The office is not a sinicure norisita place of political preferment, and, in- stead of giving 1t to the man who seeksit, elevate to it the citizen who stands high- 25t in iiie estimation of his fellow-men. By order of the commuttee. D. H. MERCER, Chairman, o ey DISCUSSING MANUAL TRAINING. The Union Pacific Library Associa- tion Declares 1t Good. A very intercsting meeting of the Union Pacific Railway Club and Library association was held at the headquarters last evening. The vresident, John Wil- son, occupied the chair. He opened the meeting with a brief but practical ad- dress upon the purposes of the associa- tion. Mr. Edgar H. Mumford read a very entertaining paper upon the sub- ject, “A Railway in Peru,” which he wrote about from personal experience in a trip upon one of the mountain roadsin that country. ‘The question, *'Shall manual training be mtroduced in our graded schools?’ was then discussed intelligently at great length. Mr. W. 1. Baker presen the aflirmative phase of the topic. He con- tended that the conditions of the human race had always been unfavorable to the workers. Yet, he contended, mankind has always been benefitted far more by the workingman than by all the efforts of statesmen or lawyers. He claimed that the answer to the question of why more children did remain in school until graduation, was that their parents did not see anything practical in it. The false system of edu- cation which we now have, he held, built up aclass of sharpers who live by their wits and on the workers. He strongly advocated the adoption of mannal train- ing as an adjunct to the school, because it would tend to break down the false notions of social superiority, which made the $15 clerk a different person than the $26 mechanic, Quite a discussion followed. The ma- Jority of the association favored the in- troduction ot manual training. Philanthropic Hebrew Ladies. A special meeting of the Hebrew Ladies'Sewing society, called for the pur pose of winding up the affairs of that in- stitution during the second year of its organization, was held on Friday at the synagogue. Mrs. Adolph Meyer, secre- tary, and Mrs. B. Newman, treasurer, erI:Fhl in their reports. After an ex- penditure of $178 during last winter there is still $74 in the hands of the treas- urer. A vote of thanks was extended to the officers named as well as to Mrs. M, Hellman, president, and Mrs. Fred Adler, vice president, for the faithful discharge of their duties. The association ad- urned until the first Sunday after the ebrew holidays in the fall. There are ninety members of the society. Grand Celebration. At a recent meeting of Knights of Labor it was decided thatthe fifteen as- semblies of this city should unite in a grand Fourth of July celebration at the fair grounds, A programme consisting of athletic games, a grand barbacue, horse racing and & balloon ascension will be arranged. It is ex oted that the knights of the surrounc ng cities and towns will unite with their brethren of this city in the celebration of independence day and that the occasion will be one of the greatest evor had in the west. John Jenkins, Richard O'Kcefe and Julius Meyers comprise the finance committee. Cryatal Wedding. Mr, and Mrs. Thomas A. Pieronet will celebrate their crystal wedding, tifteen years of marriage, ut their residence, Jafth and Division streets, on Thursday evening next. ‘The genial *““Tom’ wll take ofl the star for that oceasion and re- coive the cangratulations of his friends, who are as steadfast us they are numer- ous. A, 0, H. Receptlon, To-morrow night the A. O. H. will give a reception in its hall on the corner of Thirteenth and Juckson streets. All the members and their lady friends are expected to be present. A good time is xpected. . i BOARD OF EDUCATION. A Special Moeting to be Held Monday Evoning. Next Monday evening the board of ed- ucation will hold a special meeting to consider the plans of F. M. Ellis for a school building on the high school grounds. Ellis’ bid was for a building to cost $35,000. His workisg plans were for a sixteen-room structure with brick walls only a foot thick. This is considered unsafe by members of the board and therefore the matter will be brought before the body. The investi- gation of the accounts O{Sn'cr(-tnry Con- nager will also come up. The meeting is an important one and a lively time 1s anticipated. It was stated yesterday that Judges Lake and Savage bad delivered an informal opin- ion that the present board had no au- thority to elect teachers. This bflln% the case, it is thougiit that the public s 1 system of the city will be greatly disar- ranged, as the teachers sclocted by the boatd will of course seck other fields of labor. Under tho present condition of affairs the board is in doubt whether it i a legal body, and it is probable that at Monday night's meeting an effort will be made to settle the complicated question of authority. Gentlemen With Epaulettes Fighting Fire. o The engineer of the steam heating ap- paratus of the Strang building took it in his head yestorday afternoon to build a fire to burn a mass of waste paper which had been thrown into the furnace. He had a fire in about a minute. The flames roared out of the furnace and up the chimney and out of the top of the orifice, Poople who stood in the street saw it and yelled fire. The department responded and the heads of the departments of the Department of the ~ Platte distin- tinguished themselves: ‘L'hey rushed for the buckets and then for the roof. Gen- erals Breck, Wilson and Dandy led the van, and made a gallant and irresistible charge upon the blazing embers which oured out of the chimney. Even Chief ralligan, who had the whole fire depart- ment in readiness in the street below, lost his usual activity in his admiration of the impetuous attack of the war veterans on Ius oft-fought enemy. The generals, too, put out the fire. Y. M. C. A. The next meeting of the Mutual Im- provement association of West Omaha will be held on Wednesdav 25th tnst. The following programme will be ren- dered. Address, Miss Jennie Brown; Benetits of Being 1n Association, W, V. Taylor; Objecy of Being Social; Dr. W, H. Stevens; Reading, Mrs. Howard son; Paper. Mrs. W. M. Wyly;All Things Are Not What They Seem, S. W. Alex- ander; Improvement in the New World, W. M. Warren; Valeaictory Address, B. Duncan. They Went to a Party. When Mike O'Brien, foreman for Meaney on street work, and Mike Me- Carthy, of the Union Pucific shops, walked into a brilliantly lighted business place at Sixteenth and Cumings streets last evening at 10 o’clock they revealed a condition of dilapidation as to clothing and skin which would have done credit to the man who-went through a thresh- ing machine. Mike McCarthy explained: He said: “we started out to go to Johnny White's houre. Johnny is a foreman in the shops and he was married a few weeks ago. He has _ jnst got himself settled in a bit of a ?lnce out in the far northeastvart of he town and to-night me and this bird of evil omen started out thereto go to a house-warming which Johnny is giving. Ididn’t know the way but Mike did. He suid so, anyhow. Just look at the likes of him now and see whether he didn’t. “Well, as I was saying, me and Mike started out for Johnny’s and lost our way. We walked about amile and came up to Cutoff lake. Mike stopped, and says he, ‘Wait till I get a flash.” Pretty soon a flash came and Mike, away off, saw a house. ‘There it is,’ says he, and hestarted ahead fast. I didn’t follow so fast, and he was lost in the dark. Ina minute I heard some one hollerin’ for kelp, and there right in front of me was Mike up to his waist in water and mud. He'd walked right into the lake. Well, 1 helped him out—look at him, will you ! There's O'Brien with his high-water pants, sure. “Then it began to rain. We kept on in the rain a ways until we came up against a house. It was only a half-fin- ished house, and we didn’t think any- body was in it. There wus, though, Do you see that!” and he showed his left Enee, over which the cloth of his pants was apparently cut away. Across his knee pan was a farrow about an eight [ of an inch deep. “That’s where thh bullet went. A little deeper and e wouldn't be walking around with more than one knee cap.” “What bullet?”” was asked, “Why, that's what 1 was going to tell you. You see,when it rained we thought we'd step into this half-finished house to keep dry. So we did. We hadn’t been there more than a minute, and neither of s had a match, when we heard the racket, and knew there wasa dog nside besides ourselves. Westepped outside. We didn't care to cultivate the dog's acquaintance. Then the fellow inside—he was there—began shoot- We started on the run. But he kept shooting behind us, and some ‘coons’ who live near there joined in. We had more than fifty darkies after usgn a minute. They commenced throwing brick bats at us, the dog was close behind, and then there was the galoot a'shootin’. Mike here struck the first wire fence and I canght another one a few yards farther on. Then Mike hit a clothes line and it caught him rifihl under the chin and knocked him silly, When we got on our feet again we went on a lttle farther. e would say: ‘For God's sake, Mike, keep running; that dog’s right behind,” * ‘‘When we finally had outrun the heathens who were chasing us, we start- ed 1n to take our bearings. God bless you, neither one of us knew whether we were in Omaha or Council Bluffs. Finally L got up on a barn and looked, [ saw Omaha and then I saw Council Blufls, and I knowed where we were. We struck out until we reached a road and we came 1n on it. We've playing in big luck to be alive. When the two were last seen they were organizing a relief party and were going back to clean out the *‘nagurs.”” Further developments are looked for soon, g, —————— The Brigham=Young Concert, The Brigham-Young eoncert of songs next Thursday evening promises to be one of the most suceessful musical events of the season.

Decatur, Neb., May 16.—~To the Edi of the BEE: Recently, as stated by the BEE, a trio of chiefs of the Omaha tribe of Indians visited his excellency Gov- ernor Thayer, for the pirpose of supoli- cating for a stay of oppressive taxation, A letter signed by the governor has been brought home by the: so-called chiefs, which letter, as understood, guarantees hem and their people to be exempt from taxation, personal and real, for the period of twenty-five years. Could this Rguarantee be sustained, it shall be the wish of a majority of the Omaha tribe. But what has been done toward ad vanc- ing the Indian race from the station of wards of the government to that of citi- zens of the L('nlll'(l States. This and more questions ought to interest all good people. The United States has tor a number of years made ample provision for the education of the Indian— such institutions as the Hampton (Va.), normal school, which stands foremost of all; the Carlisle school, of Pennsylva- nia; the Haskell institute of Kansas, and many others adapted to training of the Indian youth on the road to civilization. This work has been done in view of their ultimate citizenship, which has been ef- fected some time past, Abraham Lincoln gave liberty to the African on American soil, and did not Grover Cleveland give liberty to the successors of the origina) inhabitants of Americay On February 8, 1887, {he president of the United States signed a bill which de- clares all Indians citizens (with few ex- ceptions), and the Omahas are included with those who are made citizens. This bill, as understood, holds that we pay no taxes on our lands for twenty-five years from the time of allotment 1 severalty; and 1t is also understood that we have the protegtion of tho laws of the state of Nebraska. It de- clares farther, that tne legislature of the state wherein a tribe of Indians re- side can make no law abridging their Tights as citizens. We do not ask to be taxed, even on our personal property, but we must have the protection of the law. Taxation and protection of the law being somewhat reciprocal, it scems that there must be some kind of s tax. State authorities please investigate.

Later she was found and brougit home, and now it developes that the girl has run away again. It is said that Jedlika has de- serted his family and refused to provide for their necessities. .

Akin, a prominent attorney of this place, was taken out a short distance from town by alawless gang of ruffiians, and after a certain form of preliminary abuse and indignitics, was reduced to a nude state and covered cap-a-pie with molasses, tar and feathers, and in which condition he was ridden for some dis- tance on o scantling, and afterwards marched to music through the principal streets of the place. While still in the custody of the mob he was compelled to sell his town property, including his oftice, which was trans- ferred to a member of said mob, thence he was driveu to his faim a short dis- tance from town and there in the pres- ence of the *“‘captain’ and his “lieuten- ants” and a s nt portion of the “rank and file,’” his wife's signature to the deed was, under threats, terrorism and intimidation, secured. ~Since the above event the smd Akin has with his wife and a portion of his family resided in the neighboringtown of Hay Springs. An article soon appeared in the BEE pur- porting to give a true account of the dis- graceful transaction and infamous out- rage, and was just such an article asa member of just such a mob would natu- rally write, The two newspapers here being under the intluence of the mob ele- ment became its mouth-pieces (Akin hav- ing recently brought suit against one of them for $10,000 Lium-gus)und altogether it is no wonder we hear from all parts of the country that Rusnville has the repu- tation of being a town of “roughs.’ Any town 1s liable to have its rough element. and the mobbing of one of 1ts best and most law-abiding citizens shows that Rushville is not an exception. This rough, boystrous, disturbing and lawless element is hke dust—it will fly for a ume and pollute and thicken the social atmosphere—but it will be eventu- ally settled by the moral forces which, in truth, largely predominate here, though unorganized. And it is on behalf of this moral portion of this community, who would under no circumstances en- gage in the practice of tar-and-feather ruflianism, but who would and do in un- measured and unquaiified terms con- demn it; and to disabuse the public mind of the impression, should such exist, as might have been created by the mobites and their allies, that the mobbing of Akin was, or has been, acquiesced in, or upheld or pardoned by any ly dis terested or respectable citizen or citi zens, the writer has decided to remain si- lent no longer in the matter of present- ing to the public at least a synopsis of the inevitable *‘other side,” It is not our purpose, nor will any at- tempt be made to hold up any han as an angel, or as being morally immaculate and exempt from peocadillo. Akin’s friends, and they are many, desire that he shall have a fair deal—no more, no less. If he violates law, let him take the consequences. But he was not accused of violating any law, not even by the mobites and their friends. He was not an immoral man—-not a bad citizen to any but those who were themselves bad in their intentions and practices. On the contrary, he was considered, but a short time previous to the outrage, not only a good citjzen but the most conspicuously prominent and leading man and freely worthy of special preferment and honor, This was his standing on February 1 1885, when a petition was signed by all the business men of Rushville except four, to Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, secrotary of the interior, asking his nfiapo'mlmum as register of the new Northwest United States land district, as described h{ bills then pending in congress, In said peti- tion his character was set forth as a man thoroughly qualified in every essential particular for the above mentined oftice, which it was then thought Rushville might luckily secure. But, in the progress of ‘fl\e rapid settlement of this region of country, a great mnn{ attempts have been made b sundry sbeculators, adventurers and “‘settlers” tofraudulently ossess themselves of ladd, and their 11-disguised frands were too thinly cov- ered to escape the sharp-eyed Akin, and there being an “over dose” of this kind of land grabbers in and around Rushville who were unable to control hftu by sny means at their command or to enlist him in their crooked and rascally schemes, they took a tangent and became incense to high pitch of madness at the way he persisted in foiling them, and uniting and mobbing him and driving him, by threats of a worse fate, to other parts of the country was their onltv. their last and desperate resort. A life-like, group pic- ture of the mobbites would be an interest- ing specimen, and would furnish an amusing study {for {a physiogomist. Its vroper place would be in the *‘roguc’s gallery.”” They are *'beauties.” (? Having committed the crime of mob- bing lm, all they have smid or done since by themselves or through thoir at- torneys evinces only madness, trickery and in keeping with the spirit and intent which prompted the mobbing. A certain report, said to have been started by one of the mob's attorneys. is going the rounds of a certain class of newspapers that Akin has been disbarred. The order of March 19, 1834, from the eneral land oflice disbarred all land agents and attorneys who had been pre- viously practicing as such until they should comply with 1t requirements, and Akin was no more aflected by said order than any other attorney and agents. ‘The truth half told is often worse than a lie. Tho palpableobject of such report 1s to injure him Just on the eve of his heavy dam- age suits against the mobbites, their abettors and sympathizing slanderers, They mobbed, they published slanderous statemonts; $500, and afterward 1,000, was offered by one of the mob (so sai on good authority) to a certain man if he wouid kill Aken; they were mad when a change of venue was granted, taking the case to Dawes county; are selling and otherwise getting their property out of their hands; have left and going, or get- ting ready to go to distant and unknown parts; and having done what they have 50 anothing they may I)'ct do to sustain their wicked cause will be only an addi- tional chapter of the same vile and hellish story they are zwiug to the world. A CITIZEN. MR. AKIN'S STORY. HAy SeriNgs, Neb.,, May 13.—To the Editor of the Ber: W. H. Westorus, one of the attorneys for the Rushville mob- bites in the great “‘tar and feathers’’ suit, to be tried at Chadron the next term of the district court, which conyencs May 30, - did, during last week, circu- late a report all along this line of railroad from Valentine to Bowen, to the effect that I had been dis- barred from practicing asa land attor- ney before the interior department, and has suceeeded in getting it published in four different papers that I have seen,and no telling how many more will copy the said item as I am so well and favorably (?) known in this and all the adjoinin, states and territories. Wherefore f write to state that said report is false, and is circulated by the attorney for the mobbites, for the sole and only nurrom of injuring me and helpin; his friends and ‘clients, just on the eve of the trial of said suit.” This has been their mode of warfare from the first. They do this to try and prejudice the court and lury against me, and thus de- teat the ends of justice. I therefore ap- peal to the Beg, for 1 am battling against reat odds—twenty-one men, some of them rich, on one side, and me alone on the other, which makes a very uneven conflict. It does scem that they might stand against me without resorting to such low mean thicks, but then it is their nature, and as I have truth and right on my side I fecl sure I will come out all right. So far I have made them squirm. I have four suits against them now aggregating about $50,000 and ronr old man Wallace, they mobbed him before me, has one against them for $10,000. No wonder they are putting this property out of their hands. By publishing this you will greatly oblige C.'C. AKIN, REAL ESTATE.
