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 Jud Cooley, the wearor of the ermine in Cherry county, of which the appen is a full synopsis: Nionnara, 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 & Yankton railroad, I have taken this liberty of making some sugges. tions which I think it would be we for Omaha to investigate, as I understand Omaha is looking for an outlet i Dakota territory, and what she wants is a road which is and mahis road. 1 sco by the mncnded af 1 by the Elk- horn & Missouri Valley railroad com- pany, said roud is to start from the ' city of Omaha, thenco west, cte., with a branch leaving the city of Norfolk, in Madison coun thence north and west to a point on the Missouri river at or ne the mouth of the Niobrar: iver, 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 less expense than at the mouth of the Niobrara river, bed at about forty feet, the rviver being reed into a compact, narrow channel with ugh banks, and the road can approach the river and leave it on the Dalkota side with a very light grade, and will run through as beautiful a country as ever was seen, being well settled with prosperous farmers, an you 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, * % % Now, Lam sure that if you use tho proper influence on the Elkhorn & Missouri Valloy road you can get them to extend into Dakota he extension of their Creighton branch without any outlay on the partof Omaha.

Isaacs and he: o How Senator Conkling Stopped a Train By way of reminiscence, the Chicago Tribune prints the following: * Yeur: ago I was employed by the Philad phia, Wilmington and Baltimpre rail- road at the juncture a few miles out of Bultimor d a telegraph operator yesterday. “One afternoon an unusually handsome and athletic man entered tho little station. ‘Does the limited express for Washington stop here?’ heinquired. ‘No, s I replied. ‘Can you stop it?’ ‘Not without orders from the main offic ‘I will explain my situation to you,’ said the stranger, ‘in the hope you will do all in_your power to aid me. T came from Washington to intercept at Baltimore a gentleman 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- press. “You might use my name 1f you think it would be any use,” said the gen- tleman. ‘And your name is,’—said I, ‘Conkling—IRoscoo Conkling,’ replied the gentleman. I flashed over the wirs ‘Senutor 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, disp ing a handsome gold watch with (he initials ‘R. .’ eugraved on the case. At the same time, either by design or chance, he removed hishat. Grasping tho key I ticked these words to Phila- delphia: ‘Letters R, C. on gentloman’s watceh, but T know he’s Conkling by his flaunting red beard and the Hyperion curl of Nast's cartoons.’ Straighiway the sounder replied: ‘Stop train. By order of H. F. Kenney, gencral super- intendent. ‘Conkling was profuse in his thanks. As the express shot around the curve with him safely on hoard he made a courteous gesture of furewell to me.” e The Professional Foreigner.

The Average Sixes Worn by the Daughters of ¥vo — Something Concerning Kid Gloves and Their Buyers, Gloves and Shoes, A neat foot in a tidy fitting shoe or boot is the prido of the average man and woman, and it es without saying that they will in nine cases out of ten sacr the balance of tire for the more asth attirement r foet This woakness is moro notice- able among the female sex, and the existence of the shoe elerk is made miserable and des perate at timos in catering to the whims and anity of the customer. He must be gentle- winating and a good His firat duty, so to is to size up the temperments and tastes of his customers and act accordingly. If a woman with a number four foot comes in and calls fora number three shoe, he must abide by her denands, not betray his emotions but look pleasant while he strives to forcethe much undersized shoson the overlarge foot. This is a very difficult task, but practico in time makes perfect, and the clerk finally becomes hardened to the cruelty the buyer inflicts upon herself. With a view of obtaining soine statistics as to the prevailing sizes of shocs worn by the men and women of Omaha, & BEe re- porter one day last week made a personal visit to a number of stores, and learncd ny things that surprised him. At the ablishment of Charles W. Cook a half dozen clerks were busy fitting shoes on the feot of men and women, and. replacing in boxes numberless pairs that had boen tried on and discarded by dissatisfied customers. “What are the average sizes of shoes worn by women?” was asked of the younger Mr. Cook, SWell," was the curtreply, “they vary like the weather, and we sell some very larygo ones and_soine very small ones. How- s my observation gocs, the t0 4's, made ov dif- ent kinds of lasts. Some are longer than rs, and others broader. We do sell some but they are fow and far between, and instances of that kind it may be st down that the purchaser would enjoy greater com- fort in shoe half or full size larger.” “How i8 it with the men3" “Men a8 a rule wear from 7's to 8's, but we have larger sizes, Nevertheless, the first mentioned numbors 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 say the lenst. “We have some very amus- ing experiences in our business,” he went on to say, “and it would take a whole page of the Bee to enumerate them all, At this store thegreatest call is made for 3i¢s and 4igs, and in ordering we always get double the 'latter number of any otliers. But we have in stock ladies’ shoes from sixes up to nines."” “Up to nines,” remarlked the astonished re- porter. “*Yos, up to the nines," was the cool reply. “And what class of women wear those cnormous sizes “They are chiefly foreigners. Their feet do not always call for this size,but they scem to want their money's worth, and fecl they are getting it in big shoes. They are a curi- ous class to deal with, aud where a_five or a six would be sufficiently roomy for them, they insist on larger sizes. We have several pairs in_ stock, and will sell every one of them.” Do men, a8 a rule, require large shoes?’ “Men do not wear as large shoes as is sup- posed. They will average from seven toeight and a half, but eight is_about the nearest. We have in_stock some thirteen’s, but these are called for mostly by farmers and the brawny butchers, who work atthe stockyards. at South Omaha." I Dohle & Co. were next called upon, and the elerk supplied the information that their sales to ladies numbered from threes to seveus. “No, we do not carry any nine's in our stock,” continued the clerk, have had customers whom our number sevens would not fit. We sell more fours anc fives than any other kinds, and in men’s the rul- ing sales are between sevens and tens, We have a few steady male customers who wear as low as sixes, but they are fow and far be- tween.” Something having been said at one of the stores visited about the hand being an infal- lible indicator as to_ the size of the foot, the reporter made it his business to call af the dry goods stores and glove establishments and chat with the clerks m the glove depart- ment The plea “but g little ludy at the store of N. B. Falcon urcd tho 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, 64, 614 and 687, and the sales aro 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 corpulent women. The popular size for-gentlemen is 5'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. Hero 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 The French kid_glove factory make a »d gloves, clerk exhibited a number of and reception gloves that had » to order by society ladies at the pair.

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 nst human nature to expect a man- to lose money, as he generally 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 against the dramatic trash we see on the boards, it would soon cease to be popular. The fact is that the Amer- ican peoplo work too hard, They work 80 hard that they do not seem to have time to enjoy the thgater in.gn artis- tic way—they scem' rather to seck 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 o the stage itself there is less evil among actors than people suppose. gerous for an excitabl surrounded It is dan- young girl, not by proper influences, to be uch a life. But a pérson of would he fo there other positions., The weak- minded, sentimental young woman is just as liable to meet with disaster from the influences surrounding mercantile, manufacturing or office life as she is on the stage. The lif of the ambitious, conscien- tious dcttress 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 different style of training. And this is another thing that retards the artistic pro®®ss of the drama. The uncertainty of actors hav- ing employment is another reason why we should have state-supported thed- ters. A manager employsa company of twelve persons. Aftera while he pro- duces another play in which only six persons are required; he discharges half of his company, and they drift away to one place and another seeking employment, Playing in different styles of pluf‘a is not bad for the actor; it dun:logns his genius; but the unc tainty of employment is dewmoralizing 1t he knewgghe would be regularly at tached to a @heater for a long period of time, he WBuld take greater pride in his work, We would have his family near him, ot he would try to advance steadily ifhis art. Hence state-sup- ported theaters would be good for both the public and the actors. ty« Hellwhin AftenBwen hree Years, Helena Tipendent: Two brothers, who had not.ggen each otlier for twenty- three yeargeghook hands in the Grand Central hotok Saturday night.
