When Secretary Nattinger, of the board of trade, ran his pruning knife through the mail received by the board yesterday morning ho was called upon to wade through four pages of closely written manuscript from Judgoe Cooley, the woarer of the ermine in Cherry county, of which the appended is a full SYNOpsis : Niosaks, Neb,, April 17.—To the dent of the Board of Trade, Omaha, M Sir: Having read a great deal in the papers about the Omaha & Yauktc ilrond, I have taken this liberty of making some sug tions which I think it wouid be well for Omaha to investigate, as I understand Omuha is looking for an outlet into Dakota tevritory, and what she wants is a road which is and will be exclusively an Omahi road. T sco by the amended articles filed by the Elk- 1st, Amy, mell, aged JUDGE €00l The Wearer of O horn & Missouri Val railroad com- pany, said roud is “to start from tne city of Omaha, thence wost, cte,, with a branch leaving the city of Norfolk, in Madison county, thence north and west to a point on the Missouri river at or near the mouth of the Niobrara river. ‘Why not make this road, which is now com- pleted to Creighton, and is at this time being extended to within twelve miles of the Mis. souri river, Omaha's outict into tho territory? No point_can be bridged with I ense than at the mouth of the Niobra od rock at about forty feet, the viver being forced into a compact, “narrow channel with Ingh banks, and the road can approach the river and leave it on the Dakota side with a very light grade, and will run through as beautiful a country as ever wus seen, bein well settled with prosperous farmers, an Yyou can shun connection with such towns as Yankton, Sioux Falls, ete., which would bring Omaha into direct competition with St. Paul and Chicago or other eastern cities, e Now, I am sure that if you use tho proper influence on the Elkhorn & Missouri Valloy road you can get them to extend into Dakota by the extension of their Creighton branch without any outlay on the part of Omaha. 1aw, very respectfully yours, James A.

I came from Washington to intorcept at Baltimore a gentlemun who is on his way from New York to the capitol. He is on the limited express. It is is of the greatest importance I should see him before he reaches Washington. A rail- way conductor directed me to the Union Station, where, he said, the limited would stop, but I lost my way and wan- dered here after a long tramp, *Telling him I would see what T could do for him, I telegraphed to Phil- adelphia for permission to stop the ex- pross. *You might use my name 1f you think it would be any use,” said the gen- tleman. ‘And your name is,'—said I. ‘Conkling—Roscoe Conkling,” replied the gentleman, I flashed over the wire: *Senator Conkling wants me to stop the limited express for him to get aboard.’ The answer came back: *How do you know it is Conkling? Turning to him I said: ‘Philadelphia wants identifica- tion.” 'Will this do?’ he asked, displiy- ing a handsome gold watch with the initials ‘R. (. eugraved on the case. At the same time, either by design or chance, he removed hishat. Grasping tho koy I ticked these words to Phila- delphia: ‘Letters R. C. on gentloman’s watch, but T know he’s Conkling by his flaunting red beard and the Hyperion curl of Nast’s cartoons.’” Straighuway the sounder replied: ‘Stop train., By order of H, F, Kenney, gencral super- intendent, ‘Conkling was profuse in his thanks. As thie express shot around the curve with him safely on hoard he made a courteous gesture of farewell to me,” —— The Professional Foreiguner. BreseyN, April 21.--Hon.

The Average Sixes Worn by the Daughters of Eve - Something Concerning Kid Gloves and Their Buyers, Gloves and Shoes, A neat foot in a tidy fitting shoe or boot is the pride of the average man and woman, and it goes without sa At they will in nine cases out of ten sacr: o the balance of their attire for the more msthetic attirement This woeakness is more notice- ng the female sex, and the existence of the shoe elerk is mado miserable and des perate mos in catering to the whims and vanity of the custorm He must be gentlo- y, patient, discriminating and a good of human nature, His first duty, so to speak, is to size up the tempermonts and tastes of his customers and act accordingly. 1f a woman with a number four foot comes in and calls foranumber three shoe, he must abide by her denands, not betray his emotions but look pleasant while he strives to force the much undersized shoe on the overlargo foot. ‘This is a very difficult task, but practice in time makes porfect, and the clerk finally becomes hardened to the cruelty the buyer infliets upon herself. With & view of obtaining soine statistics as to the prevailing sizes of shocs worn by the men and women of Omaha, & I3EE re- porter one day last week made a personal sit_to a number of stores, and learncd many things that surprised him. At the tablishment of Churles W. Cook a half oren clerks were busy fitting shoes on the fect of men and women, and replacing in boxes numberless pairs that had been tried on and discarded by dissatisfied customers. ““What are the averago sizes of shoes worn by women?” was asked of the younger Mr. Cook. “Well, was the curt reply, “they vary like the weather, and we sell some very large ones and some very small ones. How- ever, a8 far as my observation goes, the ruling sizes are from 8i¢ to 4's, made ov dif- ferent kinds of Ists. Some are longer than hers, and others broader. We do sell some but they ave fow and far between, and in instances of that kind it may be set down that the purchaser would enjoy greater com- fort in a shoe n half or full size larger.” “How i8 it with the men3" “Men as a rule wear from 7's to 8's, but we have larger siz Nevertheless, the first mentioned numbers take the lead.) At the store of A. D. Morse the clerk tit- tered when questioned, and thought the in- terrogations put to Lim were quite novel to the least. “Wo have some very amus- ing experiences in our business,” he went on to say, “and it would take a whole page of the Bre to enumcrate them all. At this store thegreatest call is made for 3i¢s and 41¢s, and in ordering we always get double the 'latter number of any others. But we have in stock ladies' shoes from sixes up to nines.” “Up to nines,” remarked the astonished re- porter. ‘Yes, up to the nines,’ was the cool reply. “And what class of women wear those enormous sizes “They are chiefly foreigners. Their feet do not always call for this size,but they scem to want their money's worth, and feel they are getting it in big shoes. They are a curi- ous class to deal with, and where a_five or a six would be sufficiently roomy for them, they insist on larger sizes. We have several pairs in stock, and willsell every one of them.” Do men, as a rule, require large shoes?" “Men do not wear as large shoes as is sup- posed. They will average from seven to eight and a half, but eight is_about the nearost. We have in_stock some thirteen’s, but these are called for mostly by farmers and the brawny butchers, who work at the stockyards at South Omaha." H. Dohle & Co. were next called upon, and the clerk supplied the information that thew sules to ladies numbered from threes to #No, we do not carry any nine's in wek,” continued the clerk, “but we rs whom our number sevens would not fit. o1l more fours ane fives than any other kinds, and in men’s the rul- ing sales are between sevens and tens, We have a few stoady male customers who wear s 10w us sixes, but they ave fow and far be- tween,” omething having been said at one of the stores visited about the hand being an infal- ible indicator as to_ the size of the foot, the reporter made it his business to call ab tho dry goods stores aud glove establishments and chat with the clerks in the glove depart- ment: The pleasing little ludy at the store of N. B. Falconer assured the reporter that her position was not an enviable one, and that the majority of lady buyers were hard to please. The sizes of gloves worn are 6, 6k, 61¢ and 63, and the sales uro principally em- bodied in these numbers. Sales of 7's and 8's are not unusual, however, and these are called for by tall and corpulént women. The popular size for'gentlomen is 8's, but 9's are called for at times. At S, P. Morse & Co's store a similiar ver- dict to the foregoing was rendered. Here different grades of gloves are sold and it is a noticeable fact that domestics buy the infer- for article and select the largest sizes. Well- to-do people call for the more expensive glove, and as a rule seldom go over 6's. The French kid glove factory make a and high-priced gloves, clerle exhibited a number of and reception_gloves that had o1 made to order by socicty ladies at the extravagant price of £10 per pair. They were le from the finest quality of kid and ar- (. Herc it was of big's were specialty of superiol and the lady learned t sold, but the ruling sizes are 6's. State-Supported Theaters, In the opinion of Madame Modjeska there ought to be state-supported thea- ters where good plays would be properly produced, for the reason that it is against human nature to expect a man- ager to lose money, as he gencrally will do, in striving to educate the taste of the public. The newspapers can do much toward forming a taste for worthy plays, and if they made a united effort aganinst the dramatic trash we see on the boards, it would soon cease to be popular, The fact is that the Amer- ican people work too hard, They work 50 hard that they do not seem to have time to enjoy the thgater in.gn artis- tic way—they seem rather to seek 1t when they are jaded and tired out with work, simply for relaxation. Hence these boisterous frivolous plays find favor and a really good moral play will not draw the crowd. * * As to the stage itself there is less evil among actors than people suppose. It is dan- gerous for an excitable young girl, not surrounded by proper influences, to be such a life. But a person of cter would be as safe there other positions. The weak- minded, sentimental young woman is st as lable to meet with disaster from nfluences surrounding mercantile, manufacturing or oftice life she is on the stage. The of the ambitious, conscien- tious ddtress is full of hard work. No sooner has she adopted one style of act- ing with one manager than she may be obliged to join another company and there receive an entirely difforent style of training. Anud this is another thing that retards the artistic proMess of the drama. The uncertainty of actors hav- ing employment is another reason why we should have state-supported the ters. A manager employsa company of twelve persons. Aftera while he pro- duces another play in which only six persons are required; i half of his company, and the to one place and another seeking employment, Playing in different styles of plays is not bad for the actor; A arclone bl genius; but the un tainty of employment is demoralizing. driftaway If he kne e would be regularly at- tached to a @heater for a long period of time, he Wild take greater pride in his work, @e would have his family near him, e would try to advance steadily his art. Hence state-sup- ported theaters would be good for both the public and the actors. - AftenBmenty-Three Years. Helena Tnpendent: Two brothers, who had not.ggen each othier for twenty- three yeargeghook hands in the Grand Central hotok Saturday night. They were Chaplds Glass, of the Alhambra "lame codipany, and John Glass, of nta Cruzeycounty, Cal. When the war broke out the brothers, who were born in England, lived with their pa- rents on Long Island, N. Y. B them, although ouly si teen toon and ¢ s old respectively tako & hand in the fight. Charles joined the army and went with a New York regimeut. He was in the army of the Potomac, and when the regiment was mustered out he came to Towa. John went in the navy, and, after treading the deck of & man-of-war for five yonrs, left the service and wont to Cal settling down in Santa county. Charles moved avound in lowa, Minnesota and Dakota, finally coming to Montana, Tho brothers parted in 1865, had not heard from each other in twenty-three years, and each one su posed the other was dead. A few wee ago 1. J. McKinnon went from Mon- ana to Southern California, in search of an old sweetheart whom he huad not heard of for eight years. Charles Glass asked MecKinnon ~to make inquiries about his brother and try and ascer- tain something about him. McKinnon found the brother, and the latter con- cluded to come to Helena. When he arrived Saturday night, the two met in the hotel, but the one from the coast did not know Charles, and the latter would not have known the former except by secing him place his name on the regis- ter. Finally the two of them met, and each shook the hand of ‘“‘the long lost brother.” The gentlomen look some- thing alike, and a peculiar thing about them is that both should be wearing a moustache and chin whiskers. They went to Alhambra yesterday, where John Glass will remain until they have talked over the ups and downsof the last twenty-three year S e 1, A Water Wizard. ustice of the peace in nois has lately rendered a legal decision which-is worthy of the duys of Salem witches, says America. It appears that a. wealthy ~farmer had chanced to say to an acquaintance that he wished he owned a fine well belong- ing to another farmer in the vicinity. “I'am a water wizard,” said the man to whom the wish was expressed. *‘Give me $10,” he continued, “‘and I will lead the stream of water from your neigh- bor’s well to your’s.” " The farmer agreeing to pa{ that sum, the self- styled water wizard went to work. With a forked twig cut from a peach tree, and held in his hands after the most approved manner of rural magicians, he walked back and forth from one well to the other several times, dug a few shovelfuls of earth from the bottom of his employer’s well, and then declared his task accom- plished. He received the promised fee and went away. The well from that time on contained more water than it had ever done_before, probably because the wizard’s shovel had improved it. The owner of the other well, however, chtin%‘)wlnd of the matter, and choos- ing to believe that his well, had been ruined, brought suit against his covet- ous neighbor. The evidence in the case was heard by the nearesi petty magistrate, who then, without hesita- tion, awarded substantial damages to the plaintiff. NECESSITIES. Wonderful Bargains. CROCKERY.
