COLONEL SWEET INTERVIEWED. “Colonel” Franklin Sweet, one of the san- guinary heroes of the groat battle of Wahoo and a ‘member-clect of the Nebraska lee lature, was in town yesterday and had him- self interviewed by ome of the local papers. Sweet has never had the reputation of being much of an anti-monop, and knowing the character of the organ through which his soug was to be ground, he made the statement that the people of Merrick county were very well pleased with the condition of things regurding railroad rates, and that all they wanted was ‘“‘good houest treatment,” ete.” Then be proceeded to_give tho railroad candidate for speaker, John €. Watson, a graud boost by declaring that Mr. Watson was “*head and shoulders wbove any man in the field,” in the fight, ete. He probubly gets his information from Marquotte and Holdredge. Just who Mr. Watson's supporters are no oue secus to know, excest that the ‘“railroads are for him.” The colonel was very much in favor of maintaining the stato ilitia. General McBride was asked regarding the Sweet in- terview: #What do you think of Colonel Sweet’s #deas regarding the speakershin?" He quietly whispered to Tue Bee man these words: “The lower house of the Nebraska legislature is largely auti-railroad, and no wan who 18 supported by the railroads can be elocted speaker. Kither Dempster, Cody or wyself will be speaker, and Colonel Sweet nor no other wan can rub it out. I am wuch obliged to Colonel Sweet for the back-handed slap he gave me, SCHEMING KAILROADS, On or about the Ist of January the state board of transportation will pzine the suc- cessors of Secretarics Massu, Munger and Ager.

It is said Mr. Muuger declines to Berve on the bourd of sec longer.

The bone of contention, however, comgs upon who shall succeed cither Mason or Munger.

They Collide Yesterday Morning at the Tenth Street Crossing. Yesterday morning there was a collision between cable train nd 6 with a freight en- gine at the Union Pacific crossing on South Tenth street. The latter was backing a heavy freight train castward and had al- most cleared the crossing when the accident occurred. The grip was in the charge of a new man nawmed Pinian, who emerged a week ago from his apprenticeship. He saw the train crossing the street, and instead of stopping his cars south of the track, allowed them to continue until he found him- self unable to prevent the collision. The rules of the company require all grip us to stop a_certain number of feet on hside of the Union Pacific tracks to en- able the conductor to go forward and sce if nion_Pacific freight trains are ap- proaching. Finian's train, it is said, started down the hill with the rope, as the rule requircs, but at a speed greatly in excess’ of that gencrally used on the line. He evidently thought tha before he would reach the Union Pacitic tracks the train would have passed. He tound however, when near the base of the hill that he had miscalculated the speed of the freight train and endeavered to stop his own train, which however he failed to do. The conductor’s name is McDonald and he claims he apvlied his break as soon ns possi- but without the desired effect. The e lision tore off the front roof eave of the grip car, smashed the rail and turned the car across the track breaking the drawhead of the passenger coach. There were several possengers in the car at the time, but they were not injured. This is the first accident that has happened to the cable at this place. SCET A General Tie-up of all the means of publicconveyance in a large city, even for a few hours, dur- ing a strike of the employes, means a general paralyzing of trade and indus- try for the time being, and is attended with an enormous aggregate loss to the community. How much Riove serious to the individual is the general tie-up of his system, known as constipation, and due to the strike of the most important organs for more prudent treatment and better care. If too long neglected, a torpid or sluggish liver wlll produce serious forms of kidney and liver dis- eases, malarial trouble and chronie dys- pepsin. Dr. Picrce’s Pleasant Purga- tive Pellets are a preventive and cure of these disordcrs. They are prompt, sure and effective, pleasant to take, and positively harmless. —_———— KASPFAR'S WORK WAS DONE. And so the People of the Second Re- joiced Exceedingly. No sooner had the result of Tuesday’'s election in the Second ward been made kuown than the friends of Councilman Kas- par surrounded him, determined to have a night of jollification. A brass band was sent for and the gentlemap announced that he would visit as many of his friends as possible before atlowing the crowd to break up. ‘orming on Williuns street the procession moved east to Thirteenth, increasing rapidly as it procecded. Plac ter place was sera- naded, and the enthusiasm of the crowd was unbounded. Mr, Kaspar himselt was as happy us a bridegroom and the lion of the hour. The crowd finally massed at Mr, Kas- par's place of business, which was for too small to hold it, and the victor was called upon for an address. He said that so far as he had proceeded in life, that was the su- preme moment of his existence. He was joy- ful at having been victorious, but what af forded him greatest pleasure was the loyulty of his friends, after having served them for two and one-half years, Allhis old friends had stayed with hm, and their ranks had been swellod By many accessions. The en- thusinsm over the result was so great that it was dificult for the speaker to proceed. After concluding his remarks in English he delivered ap address in Bohemuan, which was received with many marks of approba- tion. ‘The procession then moved South to Vin- ton street and returned by way of Bixteenth. The Second ward republicans propose to jubilate further over the result, and have made arrangements for a mecting aturday night at Kas- par's bhall. The committce having the mauter in hand have engaged a brass band, and u male quartette has volunteered to sing Invitations have been sent to prominent speakers, who will be announced later in the week.

T said, questioningty, “Fenwick it 1s,” he responded, “Where have you been all years?” Lasked when we were com ably settled in Fenwick’s room. “Let me see. Five years ago were in St. Louis togetif®r.

I have always thought that the fHushes on dark fices indicated more fecling than the flushes of fair skinned people. “I'll show ture he said. He opened a valise, and from an inner compartment took a cabinet photograph wrapped in many folds of tissue paper. As he resumed his seat and slowly re- moved the wrapping, I was struck with the sombre gravity of his looks.

At first I took very little notice of her, for I ad- mired Sallie Earl greatly, and, as you said, she was not my style. Sallie Earl was brilliant and showy; her clothes were always the very latest style, and she was pretty, too. But I noticed that she always deferred to her friend’s judgment and taste. The second day of our stay, I awkwardly fell down stairs on my arm and sprained it badly Tom had to take his trip alone. 1 say that I was sorry, I wanted to go to a hotel, but the Earls would not hear of it, so I staid. After awhile I began to compare her with Sallie, and not to Sallie’s advantage. Her clothes, which 1 l\;\d thought so much inferior to Sal- lie’s in style, I began to admire, for Sallie always had some stunning cos- tume, and 1 solemuly believe that no man could look into those eyes without seeing the spirit, power and soul that you spoke of.” He paused and looked again at the picture. **Well, he resumed,” with an impa- tient sigh, “*the long and the short of it is, that I fell in love with her.

Oliver, you can’t conceive of the love I bad for that woman. You know I have little romance or truck of that kind about me, but when 1 had to go way at the end of the week, and the thought struck me that I should never soe her again, I sat down and cried, “I know ,my cyes were red, and as [ passed through the hall, I saw her on the porch, The Earls were there, too. Sallie bade me a coquettish farewell, but she said: ‘I am going to walk part of the way with Mr. Fenwick.’*So am I,” said Sallie. *Noyou must not Sallie.

All this time we had een walking, When she tried to su something her voice failed; she laughe nervously, *'I must go back,” she said when we reached a corner, *'No, do not go back till you tell me what will become of me,” I cried.

I wrote to her at the end of the week, for her visit to the Earls would then be over. 1 donot remember all I said, but she told me it impressed her very much.

All my thoughts were with Fenwick as the train rumbled along. I blamed his wife: called her heathen and unfeel- ing. and wondered if she would not v grot him some day, for he was a manly, geontle-hearted fellow, brave as a lion, and a favorite with ali who knew him. We renewed our old-time correspond- ence,and I atlength forgot his wifs In our infrequent meetings he never mentioned her. I Almost from my fi acquaintance with Lettio Morrow, she talked of her friend Helen. Butas T was chiefly en- i;:lgwl in ingratiating myself with ottie, T took only a perfanctory inter- est in Helen, But when Lettie consented to change her name to Oliver, I heard more of Helen. Then Helen’s lotters were duly read to me, and Helen’s opinions were flung at me till T was fairly tived of her. One morning after leaving the train, I presented myselfat Lettio’s door. Lettie horself answerod the bell. “I am so glad you came to-ds Dick,” she said, ““for I have a surpr for you.” “fgit Helen?” T asked, seating my- self. Lettie’s face fell: know?” she asked, “Guessed it.” . “She isn't herve yet, but sheis in town visiting some friends, and she will be here after dinner. ““And am I'invited to dinner’ **Yes, but— I have something to tell you about Helen; she is married.” “Indeed, pray when did she enter the wedded state?” **0, she’s been married all the time— since you've known me. I mean.” “And why have you never mentionéd Helen’s husband? is he anonymous?” Lettie laughed, “Not exactly, but, Helen does not live with him.” w**Then youmust cut her acquaintance; she’ll be advising you to leave me when—" Lettie silenced me by beginning: O“Helen isalovely girl, very cleve very well educated---a beautiful cha acter, indeed.” Lettic was given to superlatives. *‘She told me all about the marriage, for we have been friends since child- hood. I saw her husband only once, and that was at_the wedding. T knew he was no match for Helen, though he was a handsome man.” ‘Poor, maybe,” I interrupted. “‘No, he was moderately well off, but Helen was all fire and feeling, and he was—was [ maintained a sympa- “You don’t do. in a dim I believe “how did you rock; if ho was ice she might have nrelted him---but a rock.” Let- tic tightened her lip: “Why did she mar “He was so persistent; and Helen d she never heard of anything like the passion with which he urged his suit;she was absolutely afraid of him at times, and---she d she did feel rather proud of such a conguest,” “Good reason for marrying a man,” [ said indignantly. *She did like him a great deal, snid Lethe, “but you are so unsympa- thetic I shall not go on. g **0 yes, dojshe married him; now, why didn’t she stay with him?” “*He hadno sympathy with her tastes; he talkked nbout his business affairs and nothing elso.” “Wasn't she interested 1™ her hus- band’s business? “Why of course, but such a consti- tuted woman could not be yoked with mediocrity and live: she didn’t propose to give up her life for him,” “Mediocrity, indeed; and ‘yoked;’ are those Helen's'words or yours?” “Hellen’s” Lottio said, redening, *but I will nof say another word about her 0 you; you are very unkind, and you need not stay to meet her. But I did.

I recovered myself. “T—I be) your pardon, I did not cateh your name I stammered. “Wh Aow stupid you. Mrs, nid Lettie. rnwick v L solemuly believe that no i could look in those oyes without secing the spirit, power aud soul you spoke of.” And he was right. I sat down. dumbly, only answering when [ was spoken to. Lettic was mortified, Over and over in my mind this sentence kopt turning: “And he lost that woman.” and Fenwick's grief seemed to belong to we. Helen and Lettie talked of many things. HMelen's voice was clear and even. 1 could imagine her veplies to Fenwick's tempests, for he had a very irascible temper. She looked so happy as sho detailed her plans for the summer to Lettie that my heart hardened toward her. Lettie was asking questions about California, though it was a year since Helen’s return from there. Iinterrupted with what Lettie con- sidered unpardonable rudeness: *Mrs, Fenwick, did you ever read ‘The Auto- 1t at the Breakfast Table?'” My tono sounded strange to myself, They stopped talking, and Mis, Fen- :k looked surprised. “Yes, Mr. Oliver he replied, but a burning hlush overspread hor face, “Do you remember what thoe Auto- crat says about men and books?"” “Quite well,” she responded, with re- coverced composure. “When did you read it?” T asked.

I spoke rapidly; Helen Fenwick had more command of hersell than any living being I had ever known. She looked me coldly in the face and taking a let- ter from her pocket, handed it to me, say “I brought this to show to but you shall read it first. T am rather glad, though, to have seen you in that righteous passion; you are a loyal advocate. The letter was from her brother; it contained the announcement that he and Fenwick had met, that Fenwick was quite devoted to a young cousin, and ended with: At all events, Helen, you have lost your grip on John, for he asked me 1f T thought you would object to his getting a_divorce. I told him F would send you his address, and that you would write to him, which please do, for I do not like to be mixed up even remotely in such a disagreeable affair.” I merely opened my Fote book and took out Fenwicl’s last letter to me. Tt bore date of two days previous, and was written later than the letter I had read. I skipped the beginning and read: “Dick, I must at last break this silence regarding her. The little cousin 1 told you of is g0 very attractive that T did consider a divoree for awhile; I spoke to my wife's brother about it. even, but it isno use. I would rather live, with Helen a wife to me in name only, than to possess any other woman living. And, Dick, I must see her; I think of her every minute thatI live, and if I do not see her I shall die.” Helen’s face rotained its impassible expression, but Lettie was quietly cry- ing. While I looked sternly at Helen, sho suddenly rese, and without a word, left the house.
