A DEFECT UNDER THE DOME. Faulty Oonstruction Charged In tho Capitol Building. LIEUTENANT DUDLEY'S PRESENT. A Oonductor Ruins a Girl's Futare— Nebraska Hall Gorner Stone Lay- ing—Switchman Killed on the B. & M. 1020 P Stneer, LixcoLy, June 8, The dificulty which is encountered by state governments in getting their public buildings constructed as they should be is a matter of general knowledge, and the numerous in- stauces in which the people of great com- monwealths have been shamefully imposed upon by contractors should serve as a warn- ing to others. That the Nebraska state capi- 1ol is not what the people of the state have a right to ask is no longer disputed; but it has not been charged that any of the work is positively unsafe. The statement of a car- penter who worked on the city building, however, as made to Tur Bee representative yesterday, is worthy of at least respectful attention, and if what he says is supported by his associates, the board of public lands and buildings can not do less than make an mvestigation of the matter, This man says that the iron girders at the top of the third story on which i8 built the wall which surrounds the dome are badly sprung by the weight of the wall— 80 much 8o as 10 sink the middle of the wall at least three inches. It is well known that these iron girders do not stand much spring- iug and that the sinking of the center even on such is enough to indicate dangor. The carpenter who spoke of the matter said that it was a matter of discussion among the carpenters, who seri- ously considered the advisability of taking out an accident policy while working in that part of the building. The sprung girders have been shoved up and concealed by the lath and plastering but it would be a matter of small cost and time 10 remove the lath and makean examination. It can hardly be supposed that the carpen- ter's statoment is pure fiction and it is due 10 the public safety that an investigation be made, RECEPTION TO LIEUTENANT DUDLEY. One of the most brilliant and sucoessful receptions ever given in_the city was that tondered to Lieutenant Edgar S. Dudley at the senate chamber of the capitol last night by the university cadets. Lieutenant Dud- ley first came to the university twelve years ago, and after four years work was succeeded by Licutenant Webster. Three years ago he was again_detailed to do university work, and selected the university of Nebraska_be- cause ho knew and liked the people of Lin- coln and was interested in the military de- partment of the university. The reception givon lust night was for, tho purposc of ex- pressing to tho lieutenant as the term of his detail drew near the confidence and esteem in which he is held by the young men and women who have been under his instruction. About three hundred invitations were issued and the senate chamber and galleries were filled. Lieutenant Dudley and wife were as- sisted in receiving by Governor Thayer, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Oalkley, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sewell, Rev. and Mrs. Alexander Allen, Colonel Downs, Colonel E. &. Sizer, Colonel J. A, Brown of Omaha, Colonol Harry Hotchiiss and Adju- tant General Cole. In the course of the evening Licutenant Dudley was surprised to hear the command given to the cadets to “fall in”. The cadets quickly formed in double rank, met the young lady cadets at the right and Captain Anderson stepped for- ward and in an exceedingly neat and_appro- priate speech presented Licutenant Dudley ith a very expensive and handsome sword, the gift of the cadets, The recipient of this demonstration of good will was much taken aback at first, but_ when he had recoverad his composuro made a response very full of feeling. The sword is a magnificicnt picco of workmanship, the biade being of the finest amascus steel and the handlo of gold. It s beautifully engraved and the blade bears an oppropriate inscription. A DAMNABLE OUTRAGE. Another one of those cases which demon- ptrates tho ?\mdcquncy of statute protection and proclaims aloud the necessity of lynch law, has just come to light in this city. Last Friday night Stella Recht, a German girl, came to the Burlington house in this city without money and in a delicate condition. She cannot speak English at all, and tells a story which should, if true, be ' suficient excuse for visiting summary justice on the man who plays the most unenviable part in t. The girl says that last December she left unction City, fa., to go to Blue Springs, in this state, and passed through Lincoln on a freight train.. The conductor told her that the train would stop at Blue Springs and that he would mnotify her when that point was reached. When he reached Beatrice, however, he told her that the train would ot stop bt Blue Springs, but that she would have to go through to Wymore. The train arrived at 12 o'clock and stood on the sidetrack until the next morning The girl says that the conductor compelled er to stay in the caboose with him all night und accomplished her ruin. The next morn- jng she went to Blue Springs and in about two weeks roturned to Junction City, Ia., where she was courted by o young German {nrmcr whom she married. About two weeks ater her husband's mother discovered her wondition and persuaded him to turn her out his house which ho_did, giving her $i. ie went to Blue Springs and_meeting the conductor there he gave her $100 to sign a paper releasing him from any responsibility.

Providence Journal: The expedition which started out on Saturday from Copenhagen to explore the interior of Greenland may not commend itself to popular. interest as those which have made the mysterious and ever interest- ing north pole the object of their ambi- tion, but scientifically it is destined to become quite as important; and the more g0 because the undertaking, though great, is still moderate enough to allow of a slight hope of success. The expedition has been equip; i Christiania, and is under the lcuév of Mr. Nansen, curato® at the Museum at Bergen, He has picked for his asso- oiates three or four Norwegian athletes, well trained in snowshoeing. They will sail first to Isafjord in Iceland, where a sealer under the command of Captain Jacobsen, an old arctic skipper, will take them to the east coast of Green- land. Starting out from the uninhabit- able and bleak east const is something new for Greenland exploring parties. Former expeditions have started out from the more accessible west coast, and have pressed into the icy interior in an eansterly or northeasterly dirvec- tion. The disadvantage of this has been that the parties were constantly going further and further away from the inhabited portions of the continent, and the temptation to return out of the wilderness of icy mountains has been too great to overcome. Mr. Nansen will reverse the op He will land at once in the wiLl\! and_his only motto then can be *¢ or die.” Such a view of the situation cannot be entertaining to o small party set down on an uninhabited coast, but the sentiment of “cross or die” will hold out a kind of philosophical encour- agement which must be very useful in expeditions of that character, The hopes that Mr. Nansen has of being able to traverse the unknown interior and reach a place of safety on the west coast before winter seems reasonable. His party has undergone a thorough train- ing in crossing the snowy mountains of Norway, and have shown themsclves capable of perilous and trying winter tours. There has been much speculation on the interior of this continent, which Nordenskjold calls the “Northern Sa- hara.” Tt is well known that a wall of mountainous glaciers surrounds the in- terior, but a theory has been advanced by General Greely and others that there is an open country in the interior, at times free from snow and But really enchanting field of discovery offered to Mr. Nansen in another way. Greenland was discovered in the year 083 by the Icelandic _or Norse Vikings. These proneers founded several colonies along the cast as well as west coast. In- seriptions discovered in 1834on the west const, bearing the date of 1136, show that these sottlers erected boundary illars as far north as 72.50. What has ecome of these settlements, also spoken of often in the Icelandic sages, where it is told that in the year 1121 the first bishop of Greenland, Erik Upsi, and an Icelander undertook a christian mission to the then estab- lished Norse colony of Vinland, or a part of what is now Massachusctts. Other traces of this hardy people ms b scovered which can throw a ne light on the early history of this cont nent. The possibility. at least, of such discoveries will make Mr. Nansen’s ex- pedition one of graat interest. Several futile attempts were made previous to this century to advance into the in- terior, and a few have been made within the last fifty yearg. The more import- ant of these were the two Attempts made by Prof. Nordenskijold. In the second he managed to get inland seventy wiles, while two Laps, on snow shoes, went fifty miles further and reported an end 1 snow field. The fact that during le their march they saw two ravens flying northward led Nordenskjold to think that somewhere not far ofl was an open countr - A Flat Contradiction.

The clothing and books of the students would, of course, not be included in the sum. The foundersof the unive ) beliove that it is perfectly practicable to provide students with afl the ne saries of life, and many of the comforts, at this low annual outlay, and if their !n;m of self-help proves a success they helieve that many of the students wiil be enabled by healthful occupation in the vineyard or orchard,or at the barn, to earn enough money to defray, if not this expeuse, certainly a large portion of it. mean or shall - Make no Mistake, By dispelling the symptoms so often mis- taker onsumption.

A story is told at the expense of “Billy,” who travels through Nebraska for a promi- nent hatand cap hiouse of this city, that is worthy of special mention. “Billy” is a pious-looking boy and at times assumes a great deal of the sanctimoniousness. He was at Atkinson, Neb., not many Saturdays ago and was billed in the town for over Sunday. He not seen all of his customers, and especinlly some that belonzed to the good churches of the place. He made an appoint- ment to call on one of them during the evening to let him know he was in town. To add a little to bis Saturday night's call and also fix himself solid for a good Monday morning’s sale, he asked his good deacon customer if there was an Episcopal urch in _ the city. “There is none,” replied the deacon, ‘“but I have a in the Methodist church that I would gladly share with you for t y and will call on you at your hotel to take you around.” “Thanks very much,” replied the good drummer, “but T ¢an not possibly attend church except the Episcopalian “Lam afraid you can not be accommodated here then and the day will be very long for you unless you while it away showing your samples to some of the merchants who do not attend church,” This suggestion was too much and Mr. B, was overcome by the suggestion of selling a bill of goods on Sunday The day noon the as he was looking town in the afternoon was in frout of the wicked sa- loons of the place when he heard a familiar voice call out in a loud tone, “Well 1 want high ‘5' and the game there auyway.

Taking in a Town. “While I was traveling through Texas for a New York notion house;” says a writer in the North American, 1 had a chance to see many thiogs which you seldom seo in the east. In October, 188, I landed in Galveston for the first time, and being somewhat of a +'boy about town,” I concluded to “‘take ia” the town that night.

Well, to continue, T walked boldly up to thé bar, ordered drinks all around, and the company was about sag- ing, “Your bealth, stranger,” when the door was suddenly flung open, and in strode the biggest Dutchman I ever saw inmy lifo. He roared out: “Shust you dhrink dat to de Dutoh chiant's healdt or I'll glean dis d—d blace oud, sooner as quick. May pe you dond know me. _Vell, 1 shust tell you who I pe. o de Dutch chiant, and oan fig all de mans in ‘exas for o $100 to & $1,000." He glared at us as if he intended to devour us together when it suited him. He was a fincly built tellow, standing about six feet three inches; broad shoulders, long, straight libs, and his very appearance justified his threat. No one had apperently noticed a little Trish - man about five feet seven and a half inches in height, who had been sitting in one corner of the room, until he carelessly walked up te the big Dutchman and said: *“Phat the divil do you mart® o making so domed 1much noise! If yer want_ter fight for ‘ducats’ I'm yer man, and will fight ye with bare knuckles for a thousand dollars.” “Mine Gott in himmel, shust you listen to dat baby," said the Dutchman. *Vell, I bade you I lig you in fife minutes.” “Well,” you won't lick me at all, at all," said the plucky little Irishman, A ring was soon_formed in a back room, a referce chosen and both put_up $1,000 cach. Before the fight commenced the Trishman said: T will take any reasonable bets that I lick him in thirty minutes.” Everybody thought him crazy, and everybody wanted to bet him. He got all sortsof bets—3tol, and in some cases ho bet oven money. Betting ran high; from $100 to 500 by cach inditidual, The fight com- menced, and it was a_bloody fight from first 10'last. It ivas clearly seen that the Irishman was the better scienced of the two. he fight lasted twenty-five minutes when, with a_well directed blow, straight from ‘the shoulder, the Irishman' doubled the Dutchman up in the corner, When time was called he did not respond. The Irish man walked carelessly out of the saloon taking with him my £100, a_clear winner of $2,100, not counting the Dutchman’s $1,000, 1 saw them twice on the sume trip afterward, once in San Antonio and once in Laredo, fighting, as usual, ana_each time the Dutch” man was “licked.” Why shouldn't he, when he got more than a $1,000 for each “licking.” When I met them in Laredo I “twigged” their game. They both traveled together, as strangers. In_each town they would t the “‘moneyed” sporting resort, and would meet there as strangers, kick up a row between themselves, and offer to fight. for any amount of more urse the bets were in most cvery instance mado by the Trishman on+ himself, and cvery time he walked away with the cash. Oh, yes! I got my $100 back and £0) more they gave me not to “‘squeak.” Annual Officers. At the annuat meeting of Minnesota Di- vision Travelers’ Protective association of the United States the following were elected officers for the cnsuing year: President James F. Jordon, St. Paul; vice president, W. C. March, Minneapolis; sccretary, C. H. Brooks, St. Paul; delegate to the anuual con- vention in Minneapolis in June, J. F. Jordon. Indications are that the June convention will result in the largest gathering of C. T.'s ever held in the United States, The Coming, Convention. The convantion of the T. . A., that is to be held in Minneapolis from the 19th to the 22nd of this month, bids fair to be one of es- pecial interest to ajl the traveling men of the country and especially to those of the west- ern part of the trade.

To his disgust it was returned to him with an accumulation of ex- press charges which incensed Will consider- ably, who expressed himself pretty foreibly to the effect that the purloiner of his grip might have becn generous_enough to return it with the charges paid. Hereafter, though, it will require considerable effort to obtain Will's grip, for he has purchased a chain similar 1o those used on trusty watch dogs, aud he will attach this to the side of his berth or seat in the car on which he travels., Grip Notes. 000 to furmsh the Traveling Wen's association roowms at St. Paul R.
