Lf such is v case, it is most absurd The party to whom the gentleman spoke said he undorstood that a vill, coding to the United States the jurisdiction of the ebrasia to a block in this city, her lod_upon, for a postoffice be beer rduced as mentioned would be all right," said Mr, Pop States government o condemn property in this city would be an absur now.

It is rumored, however, that in _the event that the submission bill is killed that an ef fort will be made to bass @ prohibitory law, and that one isalready drafted to be puton its first reading the hour the submission racket is ended. But carcful inquiry leads to the ex- pression that whe passage of a prohibitory Jaw will be an absolute wmpossibility. There are several members of both the house and souate who favor submission, but oppose prohibition or sumptuary legislation of any kind, and will make an open fight against the pontemplated measure. It is certain that when the submission question is settled the effort towards prohivitior will close, so far ms the presont scssion of the legislature is concerned.

A good deal of interest now attaches to the bicycle tournament in progress at Bohanan's hall. otable interest was awakened last night. Tho attendance was quite large, and overy move of the contestants was critically watched. It is said that the amateur race provokes more enthusiasm than any other performance of the evening, owing, perhaps, to its closcness, and the grit and endurance manifested. At the close of the race last night the score was as follows: Poliock, 51 miles 10 laps; Case, 47 wmiles, 4 laps: Van Horn, miles, 12 laps, und Young, 51 miles and 2 laps. Prof. Ley's exhibition of trick riding won rounds of applause. He certainly handles a ‘wheel as though he wera to the manner born, The professional race whirls along with interest alternating from night to night. Owing to the short turns the riders labor under creat disadvantages, but they hold to their knitting with admirable grit. Morgan and Knapp are running “‘neck and neck.” Mlle. Armaindo, however, says she will finish the race and win. Besides Ley's exhibition to-night Jack Prince and Edward Reading indulged in a five-mile turn, Reading is the unknown who created so much interest in Omaha sporting circles. SUPREME COURT NEWS.

TAYLOR TALKS Ho Gives ¢ e Strong City Hali Argnment One of the pioneer insurance agents of Omaha is Mr. C. T. Taglor. A Ber reporter called at his oMce Wednesday and found him proparing to leave on Monday for a win ter's sojourn in Florida, “You were instrumental in inducing the New York Life Insurance company to invest some of its surplue cash in Omaha, Mr. Tay lor. Will you kindly relate tho circum stances.” . Certaiuly. For along time I represented the New York Life as the state agent for Nebraska, The laws of the state of New York require the surplus of the insurance companies to be invested in a certain way. It cannot be invested in real estate or buildings unloss tae buildings are used for general or branch oftices of the company. As the com pany was crecting office buildings in the leading cities of the country I placed Omaha's advantages as a business center be fore them.” “What method did you adopt?" “I had a diagram of tho business center drawn and forwarded it to them. The prin- cipal business and public buildings thus erected and contemplated were shown on the diagram, such as the banks, chamber of commerce, Y. M. C. A. building, the Paxton block, court house, city hall and Ber build- ing. The vacant lots were shown, contiguous to theso structures, and I ventured an opin- ion as to the valuo of the unimproved spots.” ‘What was the result?" “The company decided to erect a building in Oma Mr. Booth came on from New York and heand T were entrusted with the task of selecting a site. Aftera canvass of the different lots for sale we decided to select the Millard property on Seventcenth and Parnam streots.” *‘What considerations led you to favor that point1" ““Ihe advantages were numerous. Directly opposite is the court house. One block east on Farnam street is the chamber of com- merce and the magniticent Paxton building. To the west was the site for Tur Beg build. ing and the city hall, both within a block’s walk,” “Did the fact that the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam street, had been selected s o city hall site influence you greatly " “Certainly, it did. Indecd, I do not be- lievo the company would have invested any money in Omaha were itnot that at that time ything pointed to a centralization of pub- lic business onupper Farnam street. The New York Life erects office buildings exclu. sively, hence the desireablouass of the loca- tion. “Fow much money has the company in- vested in Omaha " “In the lot and building, pended. ““Were any inducements offered other than Omaha’s natural advantages!” “‘None whatever, ther cities gave bonuses,but nothing was asked from Omiha. Let me cite an instance: The company erected a building in Minneapolis. As an in- ducement the citizens, guaranteed the com- pany §3,000,000 in business for the location of a building there. 1 could cite other instances of the same character.” “Do the mauagers of the company consider the proximity of other fine buildings damag- ing to the own!” “No. They desire the erection of fine structures adjacent to theirs. I consider ita bonefit,instead of an injury,to have Tne Brr building 088 the way., Tur Bee building can’t damage the city hall, either.”’ Mr. Taylor continued: “The building is heavier now than it will be in the future, be- cause the material used in its construction is still damp and wet. The soil ou which it is erected is solid; not a crack or fissure in the structure can be traced to it. Besides being solid the soil is healthy, the eminence sight- Ly, and the air of the neighborhood pure and fit to breathe.” “When you selected Seventeonth and Farnam streots for your building did you consider that the city hall site might be changed on the plea of room to ecrect a building large enough to meet the needs of a growing city like Omaha?” “I didn't consider itthen, nor will I con- sider it an argument_for removal now. The present location affords ample room on which to erect a building large enough for the next fifty years. “Are you opposed to removal.” “Yes. My private intercsts are all in the northern part of the city. I own about $400,000 worth of residence property north of Farnam street, which might be increased in value if the ocity hall was located on Jefferson square, but I think the faith of the city with eastorn investors of more importance than private considerations, For that reason I favor the completion of the building on the present site.” ‘“There are other reasons,” continued Mr, Taylor. “Omaha needs little parks in the business center as breathing places for the people. Cincinnati and San Francisco have carefully kept squares, and even prosy old New Orleans has them in abundance. Omaha should makesa start by beautifying Jefferson square and keeping it for the people. 1 shall be absent from the city when the election is held, but I hope the verdict will be i favor of the present site.” WM.

PAXTON'S PROMISE, 750,000 will be ex- He Has More Than Kept it With the City. “Bill Paxton promised to ercct a flne build- ing, and he has more than kept his word.” The speaker was Chris Hartman, and the remark was made in the presence of a BEg representative. He was asied to explain its meaning. “I took an active interest in the efforts that resulted in the location of the city hall on Eighteenth and Farnam streets. Iam the owner of some proverty a few blocks away and I naturally wanted the eity building to come my way. I helped = along the deal whereby “Mr, Paxton traded his lots ou Eigltecnth and Farnam stroels for the old court house site. 1 have & distinct recollection of the transaction and the terms of the trade.

Ufford in Youth's Companion: Aftor wo had been at the Sierra La Sal about five weeks, I set off one morning 1o shoot “cotton-tails.”” I took a double- barreled shot-gun, and proceded on horso- as far as the corrals and log hin of a squad of cattle men, throo milos below our camp. Four cowboys and a herd boss, named Little, wero here patroling tho upper line of an ex- tensive range, on which were grazing fifteen or twenty thousand head of half wild Texas cattle. Asit was alveady past “sun-up,"1 was not surprised 1o find no one at the als; tho boys were all out on the range. Dismounting and tying my pony inside the horse-pen, 1 first ar- ranged my cartridges, and other equip- ments for rapid loading, and then started forth on foot over the ground boyond tho corrals. Across the plain was a dry, shallow arroyo, at this time of yoar well stocked with the small game I was after, and in the course of an hour or so [ had as many birds as [ could comfortably car And then after a short rest, [ climbed out on the plain, and took a 'short cut for the cor- rals. My course led me along the upper edgo of the eattle, who were grazing in scattered “bunchoes™ all over the lower end of the valle; I had gone porhaps half a mile, when I became aware of a strange commotion among the feeding thousands: I no- ticed that the cattle were no longer grazing quietly in groups, but seemed, us by & common impulse, to be movin up the valley. I could see bunch after bunch lift their heads, and,after watch- ing for a short time the movements of those in front, join in the slow proces- sion. My first thought was that the cow- boys, for some reason or other, were driving them toward the corrals but then I reflected that if such were the ease, those in the rear would be the first to start, instead of, ns was the casc following the lead of those in front. Be- side. mstead of stopping to snatch an occasional mouthful of grass, as they would do if they were beingdriven they came on with Neadsin the air,asthough attracted by some curious sight. 1t was not long before the whole drove was in motion, and, as I watehed, I no- ticed that the drift was not in parallel, but in convergent lines, as though they were attracted to a common center, and in another instant it flushed over me that that center was—myself! A very strange sensation stole over me at this discovery, and I now remem- bered Little’s saving once that while these Texas cattle do notmind a man on horseback, it would be a dangerous thing to go among them on foot—tihe sight of a dismounted man being almost unknown to them, since the cowboys in- variably ride. As 1 looked at the slow-moving thou- sands I could well 1imagine that even if curiosity was the only motive impolling them, yet the momentum of those in the rear might so press the forward ranks that a man could have little chance to escape being trodden to death by the throng. As yet the distant red-brown throngs wore-only slowly drifting down upon me, but I thought that [ detected symp- toms of uneasiness in those in front, and at once concluded that I had bet- ter,in the plains vernacular, ‘“hustle myself and hunt my hole.” The distance to the corrals was two miles or more. Iknew that I could not reach that point, and at once do- cided to seek safety in the arroyo, which lay behind me—about halfl a mile, as 1 have already said. The thought struck me too, that to run, or even to turn my back upon thom might incite and draw this curious, living av- alanche headlong upon me. I there- fore stepped backward quickly, still facing the on-coming multitude. The leaders of the advancing herd were no more than two or three hund- red yardsin front of me, and I had re- treated some fifty yards, stepping quickly backward, when the foremost of my ‘pursuers quickened their pace into a slow trot, an example followed by those behind, till like a wave, a move- ment had communicated itself to those furthest in the rear. And now the trot gradually quick- ened into an awkward gallop, and the whole herd charged down upon me! For a moment—as [ saw the semi- cirele of converging columns, saw the long horns sweeping along the ground, like marsh reeds before a November gale, saw the plunging shoulders and heaving backs surging through the clouds of white dust which rolled up before them—I gave mysclf up for n doomed man. Then, abandoning all further effort at caution, I turned and ran for my life. The ground behind me tremblod undee the tread of their myriad feot; and the muflled thunder of their plung- ing hoofs, mingled with the low, fitful bellowing which filled the air, sounded like the roar of an advancing tornado, The ground wasas level asa floor; and I flow overit, taking the stunted sage bushes in my stride, till I reached the arroyo. Then over the bank, and down, atone flying leap, I went; and now, noticing to my right a detached mass of rocks, in pyramidal form, I turned, gained them, and. clumbering upward, stood in a place of safety. It was only about three feet across, but dearer to me, just then, than all the acres of my father’s farm at homo! From this, my “coign of vantage,” I now marked the surging mob of cattle come crowding to the brink of the arro; and then, as the hundreds in the rcar pressed forward, I saw the front ranks, by the dozen, pushed off into the gully, shpping, sliding, plung- ing, oue after the other, till the ravine seemed half filled with them, and the white dust rose like mist from the pit of a vast cataract, All round that little erag upon which I half-sat, half-lay, like an exhausted swimmer just escaped from a hungry seu, hoaved billowea the tempestuous bovine maelstrom. The sight of me, perched up there, scomed to madden them. The foremost, impelled by the swaying thousands behind, were forced against the rocks, while those 1n the rear gored viciously at those in front. Everywhere about me was a tumultuous throng of clashing horns, tossing heads and writhing bodies. But suddenly, above the dull roar of the surging, bellowing throng, 1 heurd the sound of yelling voices down the arroyo. The cowboys were coming,and . a few minute: Liutl “130b,” “Charlie” and *Kid” came in sight, o riding at full speed, their long cattle- whips cracking like pistol shots as they 3! hil” “Vaca! vaca!” *Wo-haw!” R ang there!” charg Hi “Git]” - “Vamos, pi-a “See-ah! see-ah!” C “Hoop-la-a-n-a!” At the sound of the voices and the eracking whips, and at the sight of the charging vaqueros, the cattle on the outskirts of l‘lc crowding herd be panic-stricken, turned and scampere up the arroyo, or climbed the shelving banks, and dashed away across the valley.
