A Prospect That They Win Be Satisfactorily Settled. FITZGERALD TO TAKE CONTROL. ¥he Belt Line Wil Be Bullt—The New York Mutual's Proposition Btirs Up Life Insurance Men—Brevities. [PROM THE BEE'S LINCOLX BURRAU.] The Rapid Transit street railway organized and constructed the past year has not been a paying investment thus far and the road was expensive both in construction and in the rolling stock. the steam motors, thus far used being very expensive. One of the principal objects in the construction was to secure easy transit to West Lincoln and the packing houses there, but the rond, while it has been a great accommoda- tion to the suburb, hus not found the _traffic of sufficient volume to meet the expense of operating. It is evident toa ‘great many that cars operated by & steam motor to and from the business centre of the city, do not as readily ac- commodate passengers as horse cars and the snowfalls interfere greatly with the motors. At the meeting of the stock- holders of the Rapid Transit company the past woek, a proposition was made 1o John Fitzgerald, one of the heavy stockholders. that if he would assume the entire management and control of the rond and operate the same for five years that the other stockholders in con- ideration therefor would surrender stock 40 Mr. Fitzgerald. The latter gentlemen asked a few days in which to consider the ?ropmulon. and it is now enerally understood that he will ac- pt and will at once assume entire con- ol of the ii ‘When this is done the e will extended from the city limits south to the asylum and then one motor will be used on that end, the other on the line from the north city limits to West Lincoln and the road through the centre of the city be oper- ated with hor: Under a change of this kind, with attendant improve- ments, the road will undoubtedly be-put upon a paying basis at once. THE BELT LINE PROJECT. One of the prominent features of pub- lic improvements under discussion for the past six months has been the pro- posed belt line around the city. his road was incorporated a year ago and a preliminary surve; e, but the work of securing sufficient co-operation on thefilmrlol property owners to be di- rectly benefitted, to warrant the con- struction of the roud, has been the dif- ficulty and the great delay in active rations. Three months ago the work of securing this needed co- operation was placed in the hands of John C. Bonnell who is known among his business asso- ciates as o ‘‘rustler.” Mr. Bonnell has not been idle, and it is understood that his negotiations have been so successful that the belt line is now an assured cer- tainty for oneof the improvements in the city during 1888, and its construc- tion will open up o}(lpcnunitiuu of the grandest character for new manufactur- ing institutions that can be located on all’ sides of the city. A definite an- nouncement in regard to the movements :;! the belt line is promised for an early ay. AN INSURANCE CONTROVERSY. . Since the advent of the general agent of the the New York Mutual Life In- surance company in this city, and the submission of their proposition to secure business, life insurence agents have awakened as never before. The propo- sition of the Now York mutual to erect in Lincoln a $100,000 building in consid- eration of the citizens giving the com- pany a million and a_half of business, was favorably received, and agents placed at once-in the field canvassing for the amount. Other life insurance com- panies have now entered the arena and one proposition was made that if a million and a half insurance was given that particular company that $10,000 would be set aside to assist the city in securing manufacturing _enterprises. The agent of the Mutual Life of New Jersey has Kropnrnd a proposition on the part of this company and it will be presented to the city council at its meeting to-night. This proposition is that if the citizens of Lincoln will give to that company business that will cause the premiums to aggregate 225,000, that the agent of the company will set aside 810,000 of the amount for the construction of a city hospital, and further if the citizens cannot raise that amount of insurance, if they will give the Mutual of New Jersey business upon which the premiums appregate 312,500, the agent agreea to set aside #5,000 to aid in constructing « hospital building. Itis w.-:g evident from the rivalry ex- 4sting, that Lincoln people will either take a great deal of insurance and secure & number of the advantages uffered, or else the controversy will so divide matters that none will be secured. FIRE WARDEN NEWBURY. The action of the mayor in attempting to depose W. H. Newbury from the pos tion of fire warden meets with no popu- lar approval. To the contrary, business 4men and insurance men, almost with one voice, nceord to Mr. Newbury the credit of being an efticiont officer, and one who has throughlong experience and service developed in the city of I n one of the best and most active and relinble fire dopartments in the west. The action of the mayor in attempting to unearth facts prejudicial to the five warden under the guise of reform is becoming too familiar to excite comment, ho committee to inquire into the charges st the warden consists of Messrs. ce, Brisecoo and Graham, and it is understood that thus far they have d ed nothing to warrant the dis- re of a man of Mr. Newbury's ex- erience and to throw the department I:m new and untried hands. CITY ITEMS. Ed. A, Church, who has been busily nt work for the last three months per- fecting arrangements for the erection of an opera house in this city that will eclipse any like house in the west, an- nounces that the house is an assured fact, that but few details remain to be arranged, and that the house will be constructed ready for the season of 1888-9, The board of trade and freight bureau have removed to new and elegant quar- ters in the Burr block, occupying com- aodious front rooms across the hall from the Farmers’' and Merchants’ In- surance company. The new rooms are more central, more commodious and will hereafter be headquarters for pub- lic improvements in the ci The growth of the city is exemplified in the constantly increasing demands for additional school room, the Sixth ward, with its three or four hundred school children, being the latest peti- tioner for accommodations in that line. The school board has responded to the demand by purchasing an_eligible site on East O street, for which it paid #4,600. Upon this it will the comin, season build a handsome brick that wi fueet eyory demand. h Bill Nye, the humorist, will be .in Lin- coln on the evening of the 23d and will lecture at Funke's opera house, The blic generally will accord the noted umorist a cordial ption, and the Lincoln Preds club will have a hand in making his visit to the city a pleasant one. Washington's birthday will be appro- priately celebrated by the three Chau- tuu:}un circles in the ecity, the circles holding a joint meeting that night at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. One of the features of the event will be charac- ter reprosentations of prominent people in early American history. . The changes in the freight war as it effects Lincoln are confined to contin- ued reductions on the part of the Elk- horn, which are immediately followed by the Burlington road. The B. & M. has also introduced a new cut rate to this city from Missouri river points. One of the peculiar things in the train service that has no reasonable in- terpretation, is the recent order exclud- ing Lincoln people from going to Omaba on the 1:50 p. m. fast train. People can, however, by dropping a quarter into Mr. Pullman’s locker, get aboard the sleeper and make the trip in that way, and it isa commeon occurrence to have the sleeper on the fast train .between this place and Omaha crowded like a stock car l;y people who prefer paying ihe levy of a quarter rather than wait for the lute slow teain. It is difficult to see in what way the B. & M. profits either flnnnuinll{ or in the good will ot the people in enforcing such orders. Paving in the second district, that is already under contract, will proceed rapidly as soon asthe season opens. Market square is half covered with stone for gutter work received through the winter. il Peace on Earth Awaits that countless army of martyrs. whose ranks are tonstantly recruite from the victims of nervousness and nervousdiseases.

Paasiofins+ootrr s A Great Natural Trap. Laramie Boomerang: Mr. Alsop and one of his men, John Jackson, were looking around the rocks one morning after their shieen. when the latter saw a crevice leading into a basin in the solid rock, which was about forty feet in diameter at the top, and was shaped ex- actly like the upper half of an hour glass. He thought he would go down into this basin and see what it was like, whon he observed another inlet close by thich seemed to offer easier passage. Jackson walked around the corner of the rock and brought up very suddenly when he found himself face to face with an enormous mountain lion. Mr. Alsop happened to be behind him,and coming upat this juncture shot the llon, which rolled to the bottom of the basin and dis- appeared. Being anxious to secure the hide of the lion, a careful investigation was made, and it was discovered that the bottom of the basin was a hole about twenty feet in diameter, opening into a cavity beneath, into which the beast had tumbled. A rough ladder was con- structed and Mr. Aslop descended into this curfous cavern, where he meta sight that fairly sm-ulyzud him for & mo- ment. He found himself in the lower half of the hourglass-shaped hole in the rocks, which carried out the simile com- pletely. The floor, which was of golid sundstone, was forty feet across, and the sides sloped upward and inward to the neck ividing the lower half from the basin above. As this neck was but twenty feet wide, it will be seen that a person or animal who fell to the ttom would be in a rocky room shaped like an ink bottle rightside up. [t would be impossible for a human beim;vl or beast of any description once in the to escape without aid. By standing on tiptoe it was just possible for a tall man to reach the roof with the tip of his fingers, and_as impossible to climb out of as it would be to scale the wall of Hol- iday’s apera house backward avithout a ladder. In this cavernous room lay the dead mountain lion, but he was not alone. Nine more mountain lionsof the largest size, so recently fallen in that their hides were still whole, lay about, while the hole was filled from one side to the other with bones of every species of | animal known on the plains. They had fallen into the trap formed by nature, and, being unable to get out, had starved to death, re Seies m Itis a blind confidence to supposh yourself incapable of mistake.

Hastixas, Neb., Feb, 17.—[Correspondence of the Beg.]--The people of Hastings are noted for their enterprise, liberality and cordiality. This little city now springing into prominence and dignity as a metropolis is a most excellent resort for any who desire comfort and pleasure.

In the Beeof Friday, February 17, ap- peared an interesting article entitled “A Nu- tional Bankrupt Law.” The author was Mr. Lew Frauk, the well known representative of Mark, Stadler & Co., clothing, Cincinnati. Mr. Frank is a commercial traveler of many years experience and is qualified to deal thoroughly with any question affecting the wheels of commerce. The subject in this instance has beon thor- oughly handled by the author aud the article should receive the careful attention of all in- terested. Mr. Frank makes his western headquarters at Lincoln, He is now cugaged in writing a book which is intended to be of much bonefit to commercial travelers and business men’ generally—Filigree, or Under One Flag. The work will be ready for the publisher in the near future. He Is a Human. “How can the rest of the world expect to escape occastonal ennui and fits of depression when eyen the ‘commercial traveler’ is some- times attacked with the malady!” asks the Pittsburg Telegraph. This carrier of trade and commerce, and often its pioneer, is so self-possessed, so energetic, so wide-awake and so business-like in his demeanor, cos- tumes and manners that he is the last man to be suspected of sentiment. Yet he is human after all. He has sweetheart, wife, mother or sisters. When he is to sojourn a while in h a city he oftens gets a room and tak me; He is glad to find some col acquaintance whom he can take to hi ments, pass around the cigars after while get out of his. valise which go with him I and the on Ah! a heart, too. He can sink the shop. His thoughts go off to home, to loved ones. He also leads two lives, the one for the street, the other for the privacy of his sleeping den. He, too, gets ttred of the speech and devices of his calling. He finds refuge ihanovel. He unbosoms himself to any one who wins his confidence and affections. He even confesses that he has physical ailments like others of mankind. a bold frontto the dashing and world. He relaxes and exposes his an the reposeful atmosphere of his slecping chambeor, and lo! the man who is equal to tempests and hackmen and buneo men, and who follows or leads eiviliz: tion wherever steam, horses or feet can carry one, is at bottom like us all, human, touched with sensibilities, open to' weaknesses and craves fellowship and sympathy when tired of the repetitions and routine conventions of his vocation and impressed with the convie- tion that the resources of the heart and soul are never satisfled by anything which busi- ness can demand or give. Go aside with the commercial travel and note how gladly and with what childlike eagerness he will cast awav his armor and rejoice in themes and words that do not need to be remstered with his pencil and which bave no concern with figures or with mamwon. He, too, has looked at the stars and been possessed with dreams,” Injustice to the Traveler.

Cotumnvs, Neb., Feb. 16.—To the Ed- itor of the Bsx: While the Union Pa- cific has done a greatdeal for overland passengers in putting on their fiyer, the local passengers who have the misfortune to take this train are certainly badly treated. Four magnificent sleeping cars are run on this train and only one day coach, and that an alleged first-class one. To-day in coming out of Omaha. this coach was crowded so that fifteen people were compelled to stand and it was only after repeated expostulations on the part of these passengers (who were largely traveling men) that the conductor finally told us that we could take seats in the Pullman cars. Belonging to one family there were soven dirty children, all under the age of ten, and thesa children occupied three seats, and that without paying any fare, while full paid pas- sengers were standing. While I have nothing against _the children occu- pying seats, I do think that the company, in all ‘humanity, ought to pro- vide accommodations so that all could sit, and not try to force passengers to pay toll to the Pullman company. Again, there being no smoking accommoda- tions, there were passengers who wanted to smoke and did smoke, much to the disgust of others, and this leads me to the thought that if a smoking car was provided, the discom- fort of to-day would have been obviated. T hope that the great Union Pacific com- pany will not longer tolerate such & nuisance and feel positive that I voice the sentiments of my fellow travelers on this subject. A TRAVELING MAN.

FALLS VIEW was created by the Mjc unknown until igan Central Rail- rond, which stopf its trains at this point toenuble its passengers to enjoy the randest and most comprehensive view of the falls that is to be anywhere ob- tained. Before that time people came in carriages from the Ameri side to “Inspiration Point,” the view from which Howells said was *‘unequalled for sublimity,” but Falls View, being more elovated, the scene from it is much figer.

I had a farm on the Mol- lalla, a few miles from Oregon City, near an oblong, fock-covered hill called Rat- tlesnake Hill, which for years has just been swarming with them. In the spring, when the weather gets warm, rattlesnakes come out of the hedges and drift down the creek bottoms, becoming very troublesome. My farm being only three miles away these reptiles become each year more and more troublesome, endangering especially the lives of my children, who despite all I could do, would persist in going about barefooted. *“Well, a year ago last spring they swarmed into my wheat field so thickly that [ couldn’t cut it when it was ripe.

Texas Siftings: A rather shabbily dressed man, with a large book under his arm, inserted his nose into the orifice through which railroad tickets at the Union Depot at Austin are sold. ““What can I do for you?” asked Pete Lawless, the genial ticket agent. “How much does a vicket to Dallas cost?”’ “Seven dollars and fifty cents.” “Well, I've got all but the $7.” “That's hardly enough.” “Look here my friend I'm a book agent, and I got roped into a little game of poker and I want to get out of town. Now, if [ stay here I'll have to drum, and I'm a terror. I've talked lots of people into the lunatic m{lum. You don't wan’t to talk me silly do you?” “Suppose you try.” e “In the interests of the people of Aus- tin you want to help me to leave this town, My staying here a week will re- tard its growth ten years.” “So you are really a book agent. ‘What book are you selling?” A galvanized smile spread over the man’s face, like a lot of butter on a hot- batter cake, and in a sing-song voice he remarked: “I am offering the public, in seven- teen volumes, ‘Dr. Bumblebee’s Obser- vations in Palestine,” a book that should be in every household, a book that not only contains the views of the learned savant on what he saw in the Holy Land, but numerous speculations and theories about what he did not see, altogether forming & complete library of deep research, pure theology and chaste imagery. Iam not selling this incomparable encyclopedia, but am giv- ing it away ata ridicuously low fig- ure'’'— The agent paused. He expected that the ticket agent would be bored, but he was not. On the contrary he seemed to be amused and pleased. “Hadn’t you better give me a ticket, instead of having me talk you to death?” ““Talk me to death! Why, man alive, I1i to hear it. Say that over.” “‘Say it over?” queried the bewildered book agent. “Yes; 1 was a book agent myself be- fore I went irto the railroad business, and what you say is music to me. It calls back hallowed memories of the past and makes me want to go on the road again. Why, man alive. I could listen to you all day. I wouldn’s have youleave Austin for anything., Come around every day, and we will swap ex- periences.” The book agent closed his book with abang, and faded away like a beautiful dream in the direction of a saloon where they set out a free lunch., He had met his match for once. e She Talked in Her Sleep. Pittsburg Dispatch: In one cornerof a crowded street car crossing the Sixth street bridge, on Saturday evening, sat a young lady of more than ordinary good looks. Her fellow passengers had plenty of opportunities of gazing at her without embarrassing her, for before the car was over the bridge she had dropped sound m\leer. The conductor SRlantiy icnbwiher) lor 1S made nolat: tempt to wake her when he came to her, after collecting the rest of the fares. She did indeed look very pretty; her head restil\g,sligmly against the win- dow frame, her lips just parted, and her face composed peacefully. There was a half smile on her face, too, as if her dreams were pleasant. She had prob- ably been standing behind a dry goods counter ali day long. The men, and women, too, were careful not to touch even the hem of the sleeping girl’s dress as they passed out one by one from the car. By the time the car passed the Allegheny parks only the sleeper and a gentleman, who was read- ing a puper, wore left in the car. Just then the conductor entered the car and remarked to the gentleman: “I ghall have to wake her; she gets off here.” The conductor laid his hand on the sleeping girl’s shoulder, and gave her the least possible shake, while with the other hand he rang the bell for the driver to stop the car. The girl arose at once, but though she did this and opened her eyes also, she was evidently still in dreamland. Her lips moved and she said almost in _a whisper: *There, it's 10 o’clock;didn’t you hear the clock strike; let me go, [ suy—please let me go, Charlie!” and then she suddenly s tooped, put her hands to her face, and without a word more ran out of the car —wide awake and blushing like any- thing. If you must goto sleep in a car, be sure to order your dreams discreetly. The conductor who told me this story, however, says he would not mind being taken foi “harlie” by the fair dreamer again, if she will not cut off the seauce just up the point where it becomes inter- esting.
