N. Y. Plumling Co. Reiter, tailor, F'all goods cheap. John Waddell and Sarah 1. Plummer, both of this county, were married yes- terday by Justice Schurz. A marriage license was issued yester- day to George B. Boone and Sarah A. Kadel, both of this county. Charles Snooks, foreman at the City Roller mills, is the happy parenteof a boy, born on Sunday night. Mr. George W. Arnold, of Omaha, and Miss Mary Hughes, of Cleveland, 0., were married last evening by Rev. B. P. McMenony, of St. Erancis church, at the parochial residence. Financially, the billiard exhibition was not a success. The receipts lacked $58 of being enough to satisfy all claims, and the enterprising managers had to “‘cough up’ that amount from the bot- tom of their jeans. Leather fenders are to be put overthe wheels of the police patrol wagon to pre- vent the mud from flying up and soiling the clothes of the prisoners. The next move will be for the officers to wear kid gloves, 80 as not to handle the fellows too harshly. A badly smashed laundry wagon was the result of the driver trying to turn around too near to the edge of the creck near north Main street. The tumble into the creek was a wild one, and it is the greatest sortof a wonder that the driver and horses escaped serious in- jury. Owing to a little misunderstanding between J. M. Omsler, Union Pacific agent at the Broadway depot, and Mr. Carson, ferry ticket agent, the latter is no longer a Union Pacific employe. Mr. Carson refused to be switchman, and was requested to_surrender his Union Pacific badge. The duties of the ferry agent will probably be a little plainer in the future. The Union Pacific will sell round trip ticketsat reduced ratesfor those de toattend the ball in Omaha this by the Brotherhood of Locomotive i ' These tickets will only ains leaving here at 8:45 evening, and on the special train, returning, which will leave Omaha late to-night. The case of Ci ns’ bank vs. Hen- drie was yesterday dragged through another day’s hearing in the district court and was finally submitted to the jury. The prospects for a verdict are rather slim, ae one of the jurymen was sick during the entire day. The attend- ants at the court were well entertained by the tongue-lashings indulged 1n by the attorneys in the case, who took a vantage of the opportunity to gratify personal spite. Mrs. Thomas Metealf entertained a number of young ladies Tuesday after- noon with a novel “thimble bee.”” The souvenivs consisted of silver thimbles, each guest’s name being engraved thereon. The gathering was in special honor of Miss Florence Root, of Keo- kuk. Those present were Misses Lulu Loomis, Angie Rockwell, Harriet Knepper, Maria Phillips, Clara Beb- bington, 1da Wells, all of this city; Miss Hindle, of Goshen, Ind.; Misses Nannie and Florence Clayton, of Omaha. ‘What is the P. E. 0.7 Noneof the men can tell, and none of the ladies will. All that can be learned is that it is a secret society composed of ladies. Even the meaning of the mystic letters is hidden from all but the members. The order is said to be growing rapidly, especially in this state, and the organization is so complete that the members, though strangers, are able to recognize each other. The purposes of the organization are evidently commendable, as appears from the character of the members, and from some of the openly declared plans. One of the plans of the™ local circle, or club, or society, er whatever it may be properly be called, is the furnishing of a room in the Woman's Christian association hospital. In further- ance of this fund a Dutch pic- nic is to be given Friday evening in the room next to Atkins’ store on Baoad- way. The ladies merit generous sup- port in this enterprise.

The first meeting of the board of trade in their new rooms was held last even- ing, President Wells in the chair, Chairman Weiss of the finance com- mittee reported the payment of dues amounting to $2,250. three persons hav- ing signed and withdrawn. Report re- ceived and committee given further time to make collections, Mr. Merriam, of the committee ap- pointed to-attend the shippers ussocia- tion at Des Maines, reported at length. The report was received and filed and a letter embodied in the same was re- ferred to the merchant's and jobber's committee. The committee to act in the Pacific house matter made only a partial re- port and further time was given them to complete, Mr. Merriam suggested thatthis board act in reference to the proposed reduc- tion in passenger rates. John F. Stewart obj d to the pass- age by this board of o resolutions or addressing of any petition to the legis- lature for a chanuge in the existing rates of transportation. There ave already forty-two bills upon this subject before the legislature, and any more would only complicate matters and assist in preventing any action by the legislative Weiss moved that the chair ap- hoint a committee of two to go to Des Moines to look after legislation bearing upon this matter. An amendment was offered by Mr. Wrightand adopted that the same committee look after our city interests as well. Messrs. Holnes and Odell were named a8 that committee. The application of John B. Cook, of Carall, Ta., for the position of sceretary of the board was read and referred. The following names were ordered enrolled as honorary members of the board: . M. Gault, Wabash railroad; John M. Lane, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul raod; Nixon Waterman, Coun- cil Bluffs Reflector. A communication was received from William Mullens, Detroit, askinf for in- formation respecting the location of a knitting factory, was read and veferr Mr. Weiss of! d the following reso- lution, which was adopted: “‘The treas- urer shall give bonds to be approved by the finance committe.” Mr, Day moved that the matter of building a hotel be referred to the com- mittee on manufactures with instruc- tions to correspond with hotel builders elsewhere. Carried. E. H. Odell introduced the following vesolution, which was adopted: “Resolved, That a committee of this hoard be appointed and instructed to wait upon the city council and insist upon the council requiring the marshal to enforce the ordinance prohibiting the hauling of earth over the paved streets in wagons with loose or improperly con- structed beds, and that the city council ke such action as shall enforce this resvlution.” On motion of Mr. Wright the matter of paving Broadway from Twelfth street to the river was ref d to th mittee on public 9 structions to confe: 10 secure that end. On motion of Mr, Evans the secretary was instructed to confer with owners of real estate in the city and instruct the committee on manufactures what amounts of land they are willing to do- nate to secure manufucturers to locate buildings upon their property The bonrd adjourned to next Tuesday evening. with the city council - A The Petty Offenders. Yesterday's business in the police court was rather limited. Lou Brailey, the pugilistic domestic who kicked a row in the family of John Hainbright on Tenth avenue, appeared in company with Deputy Marshal White @nd paid all costs incurred in her case. She said that she wanted to get ber trunk, and woula then go away and bother her former employer no more, but they re- fused to let her take the trunk away, as it contained a picture of Mrs. Hain- bright. The deputy was ordered to go down with her, take out the picture and set the trunk outside for her. 'rhen if the other parties were not inclined to prosecute farther, she might'go on her way. In the event of any more war, all of them were to be immediately brought back to the station. They all seemed 1o be satisfied with the arrangement, as pesce was declared and the intruding autie returned to Nebraska soil. D, Payne was arraigned on a charge of as- soult and buttery. He pleaded not guilty and was dismissed on payment of costs. In the afternoon an unusual audience assembled at the trial of Frank Aspinall, leader of the Salvation army, charged with obstructing the sidewalk. All the elite of the army was there, both rank and file, Ovidé Vien appeared ns at- torney for the defendant. The exami- nation created considerable amusement. ‘Whenever any testimony in favor of the defendant was elicited, the court room was filled with cries of “*Amen.” At- torney Vien made a rather lengthy ar- gument in_favor of his client, and the court said he would not inflict a fine, as the mayor had so requested him. It scoms that the mayor had promised them a letter of instruction to regulate their proceedings, but owing to the pressure of other business had not found time to attend to it. While the decis- ion was being rendered the ‘‘Amens” and “Hallelujahs” became so numerous that the court had to request silence until he got through. The case of W. H. Wyman for canvassing without a li- cense was continued. The motion for a new trial in the case of state vs Whitmer was argued before Judge Thornell last evening. The de- fense claims that Colonel Dailey in his argument stated that the defendant dare not go upon the stand and ask for a new trial upon that ground. The prosccution denied the charge. The court took the matter under considera- tion. The jury in the Hendric cuse wassent out at'8 o'clock. Mr. Pratt was selected foreman. About 10 o’clocR they sent out for a copy of the code to help them in their deliberntions. B Politics and Police, Captain O'Brien, of the police force, declares positively that he is to be nom- inated by the democrats for city marshal, and that he will be eiccted without any sort of doubt. He is working the wires tremendously for a man who hassuch a sure thing, und there arve whisperings that he has put a proviso that if he does not get the nomination he will run in- dependent, or seek & nomination from the republicans. Marshal Guanella is also in the race, and his friends are no less confident that he will get the plum. The republicans seem to be short of can- didates at present for that particular office, The struggle for the marshal- ship is looked upon as one of the causes of the recent outbreak in the police ranks, in which the police got mad and told so many things about each other. Mayor Rohver, wg\o desires peace and harmony in the party ranks, has at last got the officers to listen to his advice and keep mum, and wait until afterelec- tion toair their grievances. If one-half the charges made, backwards and for- wards, are true, tl_lel'e should be a thor- THE OMAHA DAILY ' BER: THURSDAY.

Evans, manager of the Council Bluffs and Omaha Bridge com- pany, stated yesterday to a BEE re- porter that there is material enough now on hand to keep the men - busy for nearly six weeks., Thsie s a large force now at wirk on this side of the river, andthey are making rapid progress. Mr. Evans said that he had no fears whatever thut the ice in going out would do them any damage. He firmly believes that the river pier will be com- pleted before the ice breaks up, and is very well satisfled with the present out- look. The opinion expressed by some that the ice would carry out the pilin, and otherwise play havoc with the worl is entirely without foundation, and there is no reason for any concern in the matter. It is still the intention of the company to have the bridge in readiness to open to public travel by the first of June, 1889, —_——— Election of Officers. The Third regiment of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias will hold a meeting to-day at the Castle hal) of St. Albans lodge No. 17, for the purpose of electing officers. There will be a full attendance of officers from all over the western part of the state. The visitors will be the guests of Bluffs division, U. R. K. of P. A dinner will be served, and other preparations have been made for the entertminment of the guests. D. G. C. W. 8. Williams has received orders from the grand chancellor of the state to make arrangements for the supreme lodge at Cincinnati June 8. Past State Chancellor John Van Valk- enburg, of Fort Madison, is chairman of the committee. ———— Personal Paragraphs. Marshal Turley is reported as much better, M F.T. Webb left yesterday over the Northwestern for Helena. Father Lennihan, of the Catholic dio- cese of Fort Dodge, Ta., is in the city visiting Father McMenomy and other friends. Wheeler Bowen, editor of the Yank- ton Press and Dakotain, was in the Bluffs for & few hours yesterday, and made a friendly call on acquaintances here. Conrad Geise leaves to-morrow Chattan, nd will be absent three or four He goes to see about letting contracts and making other ar- rangements for the speedy completion of his new brewery in that city. Prof. McNaughton has just passed his fiftieth birthday anniversary. He has been at the heggl of the schools here for five years, and has fully sustained his reputation as one of the best educators in the land. The anniversary called forth many congratulations. AT IN THE TE?\T.\ 1SS MOUNTAINS. People Who Live in Windowless . Cabins. Chicago Tribune: *“ILalways had an idea that the stories we read about the ignorance of the people living in the mountain regions of Tennessee were ex- aggerations,” suid a Chicago man who lately. made n visit to the southeastern part of that state. “But now I know better. These reports are not only true, but the facts have not been half told. I am not easily astouished, but I confess T was astonished by what I saw in Ten- nessee. Why, there are lots of men down there who have grown old and have raised families who can veither read nor write, and have never in their lives been far enough away from their homes to lose sight of the smoke that curled out of their chimneys. Iknew there was a time when people lived in houses that had no windows in them, but I never dreamed that such a state of affairs existed in this enlightened age. Yet there are plenty of such habitations in Tennessee. And the people who live in them are quite as much representa- tives of civilization as their dwellings. They have no knowledge whatever of the existnnce of u world that extends beyond the range of their vision ona clear day. I will say, however, that with them ignorance is decidedly bliss- ful. To possess a rifle or a shotgin and jug of whisky is the Limit of their ambi- tion. They know nothing of the value of money except as regards its power to purchase liquor and ammunition. “‘One day a man whom I met had oc- cason to go from his home to county seat. He was a man of more intelli- gence than most of his fellows, but he had never in his life been away from home before. He had never seen a town. The nearest approach to one he hud seen was the collection of houses about the store where he sold his truch and bought his bacon. When he got back from the county seat I asked him what he thought of what he saw. “Well, said he ‘all T got ter say is this: If this world is as big on the right uv us as it is on the left she must be a reg- lar whale.’ I was once riding up in the Cumber- land Mountains,” continued the Chicago man, **when I saw a bearded mountain- cer splitting a big tree he had felled. It was a huge black walnut. 1 said to him: ‘My friend, what are you doing?’ ‘I'm a makin’ fence rails,’ was hisreply. ‘Well,' I said, ‘you don’t mean to tell me you are making fence rails out of that piece of timber?,® ‘Why, sartin. That’s a good log, ain’t it?’ It was as fine a black walnut log as I ever saw, and if my friend had known enough to get somebody with a few oxen or mules to drag the log to the railroad he could haye sold it for $200, for it was worth more than that. 2 *But_ it is not only the mountaineers whose density of ignorance is astonish- ing. I observed a case notable as show- ing in a striking manner why the south is 50 far behind the rest of the country. in the matter of progress. The lumber- used in Tennessee for building pure }JO!(!! is poplar, as the mauntains ar ull of it and pine is scarce. Saw mills are established in the ‘coves,’ and the millman cuts up logs hauled to his saws by the mountaineers. He pays a cer- tain sum for lcgs, and then, figuring compensation for his work of snwinfi sets a price on hisproduct. Ithappenc that at the time I was in Tennessee the price of lumber was $18 per 1,000 feet. A man of my acquaintance was having a house built and determined to have the interior finished with hardwood and red cedar, which abounded in that egion. Accordingly he asked the saw- mill’'man what he would charge for lum- ber of that kind. My friend was greatly astonished on being told that the price would be just the same as for pop\ur— $18 per 1,000. That sawmill man will lu-obably t vich. Had he taken his hurdwood and cedar lumber to the rail- road and shipped it to Chattanooga or Nashville it would have brought him #50 or 860 per 1,000, **One mor for udded the Chicago man. A big strapping boy came into grocery store while 1 was there and offered u bag of Hickery nuts for sale. He wanted a quarter for then. To afford me a little amusement the store- keeper threw down a $5 goldpicce and asked the boy if he would sell them for that. ‘No, sirree,’ he said, ‘vou can't cheat me. I want a quarter.” The store- keeper afterward told me that the boy didn’t know what ‘the gold piece was, He said the boy, like most people in that | of freight trains are the best indicas region, had no coneeption whatever of | any amount of money exceeding a dol- lar. That was his limit, beyond which his fancy declined to carry him.” - - -~ A NEW STATESMAN. A Member From Illinois Tel Impressions of Washington. ‘Washington corréspondence: I cor- nered Representative Mason of Chicago last night, and, after informing him that he had been in congress about six weeks, asked him hov: he liked it.us fur a8 he had gong, =My experience in ghington so far,”” he said, has been very much as 1 expected it would be from what I had read and heard from others, but in some things I have been surprised and in others 1 have been disappointed. The climate of Wash- ington is as changeable as a Cook county democrat. The city is, I think, the prettiest in the world. I never have seen many cities except Chicago, Springtield, Waukegan, and now and then a Elimpse of Kvanston, but I am delighted with Washington. I heard a good deal of complaint about the hoard- ing houses of Washipgton, but 1 have been pleasantly sufprised with ours. We were fortunate in getting located in the Illinois heudquarters, where Gen- eral Logan lived for a good many years, and the expense of living is but very little, if any, more than in Chicago.” “‘Huve you been out insociety much?"’ “Well, I don’t really know how much of society T have been in. 1 went tothe president’s reception to the diplomatic corps, and was very much entertained on the front porch. We waited outside nearly an hour ina procession composed of stutesmen, newspaper men, army and navy officers, diplomats and committee clerks, and I found it harder to getin than it was to enter a Canal street boarding house when the dinner bell rings. But there were lots of very ele- gantly dressed people there, among whom, I flatter myself, I was one, I did not have much of a conversation with Mrs, Cleveland or the president that evening and do not think I was treated very politely, because they did not even ask me to” sit down. After I passed on into the cast room I discovered the probuble cause of this little slight, for there was not a cheir to be found, or any plece to put one if it had been there. “*After standing an hour or two upon the porch, with the thermometer some- where near zero and the wind howling like a pack of prairie wolves, we got into the vestibule, and there our ears were deafened by a lot of men who were blowing into horns and beating on drums as if they were exorcising some evil spivits. I struggled along the best I could with the rest and tried to keep from getting angry. I eutertained the neople round me by saying funny things and treading on their feet, and was finally pushed along into the room, where the walls were covered with wooden frames or pigeonholes, Here [ was informed was the place to shed my coat, but my experience in losing it a few days before had taught me great caution, and Tdeclined to surry s any of my garments without a receipt for them from Mr. Cleveland himself. There was no time to parley, for the crowd that succeeded us ullmn the porch kept shoving us along, and we passed in a serpent-like procession, crawling in through a series of rooms until we renched a circular place where stood the president of the greutest nation on earth and one of the handsomest women in the world beside him. 1 had iintended to stop and chat awhile with the president and Mrs. Cleveland, and thank thefh for the honor of receiving an invitation to the first party they gave this winter,but a man in a military uniformstood before the president and asked what my name was, I was considerably mortified at this; for I supposed that I hud carved my name upon the niche of fame to a sufticient degree of conspicuousness to be recognized there. But, being in my us- ual obliging mood, I told him what my name was, and where I came from. Then he bellowed it to the President as if he had got hold of something new. The president grabbed me by the fin, called :Fn }lr. Payson, and said: “How do you 0, - e *‘As he let go my hand he gave a sort of yank which threw me in front of Mrs. Cleveland, and there I met such a beau- tiful smile and bow that 1t made me hap- py all the rest of the evening. 1 passed on with the rest ot the rl‘uuussion intoa big room that was so full of people that you could scarcely move round, and when 11 o’clock came we went home.” “Ts this the extent of your experience among fashionable circles at Washing- ton?” **No, I made calls on New Year's day with a friend and was very much enter- tained. I saw a large number of beau- t1ful ladies. They ull wore the same Washington smile, and some of them didn’t wear much of anything else. 1 can hardly wait for New Years to come again.” *‘How do you get along with your fel- low members?” “‘They don’t know I am here yet. The only man in the house I am really inti- mate with is Perry Belmont. Last Mon- day I introduced a resolution for Frank Collier of Chicago for a change in the diplomatic regulations, under which our representatives abroad should be called ambassadors instead of enyoys ex- traordinary and ministers plenipoten- tiary, This was for the purpose of giv- ing them a proper standing among the representatives of other nations and for expediting such business as American citizens may have with foreign govern- ments. I thought it was proper for me to call the attention of the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs to the merits of the measure. I introduced myself to Mr. Belmont and told him that I was the introducer of the very last bill which had been referred to his committee. Mr. Belmont keYt his cfus on the speaker all the while as if he was afraid he would get away, and replied: ‘‘That proposition is not new.” I suggested to him then that the age of a proposition had nothing to do with its merits, 'to which he replied: ‘Well, perhaps not.’ still looking at the speaker, I made my escape from his august presence. After I got back to the republican side I turned around and watched, but he didn’t seem to be looking for me. 1 think, therefore, I am quite well ac uainted with Bels mont, and my bill is sure to receive proper attention at his hands. - Resources of the West. E. Dyer, of New York, on his way home from an extonsive tour of obser- vation and study inthe west in the in- terest of his firm, a'heavy Wall street banking house says: ‘‘The eastern idea of the west,” is vague, and these easterners who have had railroad build- ing and real estate speculations dinned into their ears until they look upon the father west as in a state of inflation snould visit the country. In no other way can a true idea of its greatness be formed. There is inflation in places, it is true, but in the main the west is only beginning to work its marvelous re- sources. You get a corvect idea of American progress in the west. The railroad building has stimulated emi- gration and people are pouring into all the states and territories, especially into California. New towns ave spring- ing up everywhere. As to the solid busi- ness doing, the volume of real trade that these new people in their march on the country has created, the long line tions. . In mnn! places the demand can- not be gratified. T lookéd into the Cal- ifornin land speculation. There is in- fation there. The boom is still on), and prices of real estate in soveral of the ‘boom towns' have nearly doubled in the last year. The natives are getting out. The shrewd old operators who were first on the field are not taking any more risks on the towns that have been boomed the most. The unew-comers from the east are doing that. There will be & siiiasis in some of these places in a year or two, rhaps sooner, but the country will still be left, and it is a wonderful one in point of climate und [;:‘odlu'lnu power. All the real estate poms are worked by professional boom- ers. There are lots of shrewd ones in the west who can work up a boom almost nu{whera it the condi- tions ure half favorable. The craze in Avizona is over irrvigation. The San Simone valley, containing 12,000,000 acres, and the Sulphur Spring valley, containing 10,000,000, are each watered by numerous streams flowln% down the surrounding mountains. he grand scheme is to divert these streams to sev- eral hundred thousands of acres of land adjacent, which is yet free. This is the popular scheme of the country, and if carried out, will reclaim several mil- lions of acres on which four or five crops of alfalfa—the vichest feed in the world —can be raised a year.

Brown Valley correspondence St. Paul Globe: When the sublime torror of the late blizzard on the 12th inst. was fairly initiated, the wind was blowing stroog from the east, attended with snow-sheets beating 1n upon us. About 10o’clock in the afternoon there was a momentary luil, and a dark shadow veiled the sky, casting a somber gloom upon the si rills dancing over the drifts. Not five minutes elapsed before the wind reversed its compass and then opened its batteries from the west far more furioua than before, and so con- tinued without abatement. During the night, while the storm was yet wholing, though the temperature of the room in which I lay was quite comfortable, being well warmed by a stove fire and no wind could possibly creep under the bedclothes, every dash against the wall of the house caused the nervesto shiver. The tremor of the very fibers of the wood and glass of the double windows commuhicated a feeling that seemed, more than an ing else, to be electric shivers of frigidity shooting through the body. Cnm it be possible, 1 queried, that this emotion is an absolute nega- tion—cold? And is electricity a pro- ducer as well as o conductor of temper- ature? The shivers did not feel like the usual effects of chill. The tr bling of the nerves was all the wi accompanied with an electric insulation of the whole person, highly charging the hair of the head, Crackling noizes were heard around the picture frames and other furniture; lights there visi- bly flashed in quick succession, and these imported shocks when touched. A Costly Telegi The Western Union Telegraph com- pany has a suit on hand in Philadelphia which bids fair to be costly, if the alle- gations are true. The trouble grows out of a mistake of the operator in send- ing n mefsage to the west, directed to the buying agent of Frank J. Primrcs>, a prominent wool merchant. Mr. Prim- rose was operating largely in wool, and he claimed that he worded a dispatch notifying that he had ‘‘bought” all the wool he needed. By some blunder the message, when it reached its destination, gave directions to “*buy,” and the agent,acting on these supposed instructions, made large pur- chases right and left on account of his principal. Wool took a tumble,and Mr. l’rimrum found himself possessed of more of that article than he bargained for. He was obliged to dispose of the material gathered in the westunder the directions of the dispatch at a loss of $50,000. To-day suit wasbrought by him in the United States circuit court against the telegraph company to re- cover dumages to that amount. It is claimed that the message was carefully and plainly worded, the instructions ex- plicit; and that the mistake was the re- sult of carelessness or incompetency of the employes of the telegraph company. —_— Choking da:ta.rrh.
