Bubmission the Only Question on ‘Which the Delegation *‘Got Left" Mr. O'Brien Explains His Con- nection With 8, F. 201. Representative Cushing Talks. 1 am glad to be able to rest,” said Repre- sentative Cushing yesterday afternoon as he lolled back in an easy chair at the Union Club. ““The legislature,”” he continued, ‘became very, very monotonous towards the last, and I tell you I am glad it's over. We ran seven days over the allotted time, but if certain long-winded orators, who talked much about nothing, had been choked off early in the sessicn, we could have gotten through twenty d sooner than we did. *“The submission bill was the only’ thing upon which the Douglas county delegation got left, and we shouldn’v have been left on that had it not been sprung on us 80 unex- pectedly upon the floor of the house. We ‘were not taken into consideration in the cau- cuses held upon the bill. As it had to come I think that it came m the most aceeptable manuer to the opponents of tho measure. The so called ‘trust bill’ is anotuer object- ionable piece of logislation. If it was a United States law it would have beon all right enough, but as a state measure it is all wrong, aad wilh only serve to drive from the state certain industries that are beneficial to her prosperity. I opposed it on this ground. T also opposed the banking bill, whieh I think was put through solely to benefis cer- tain Jim Crow bankers, and opens a direct way to_fraud. . "{n the matter of railway legislation there ‘WAS none, 5o that neither the railroads nor the people were injured. “This is the ~ first legislature of the state of Nebraska, by the way, which ever put a check wupon extravagance. Through the efforts of the farmers and the democrats,’ modestly con- tinued Mr, Cushing, tho “bill appropriating 000 to send the wilitia and others to Now ork waos killed and $§20,000 more wus lopped off the militia appropriation. *Upon the whole I think the people ma; be well satisfled with the work accomplished, During the last six wecks of the session it was endeavor of voth houses to pass only such measures as would bo of general ofit. “Douglas county his overy reason Lo foel s as we got everything we wen Sfter.

After a diligentsearch a B reporter suc- ceeded in finding the Hon. George M. O'Brien and from him secured the following statement of affairs g enerally at the close of the Twenty-first session of the legislatare. Mr. O'Brien said: ‘““Douglas county is par- ticularly fortuvate in the way of legislatlon, and the delegatfon from Douglas have oo reason to feel satisfied over the result of their labors. At the opening of the session they wero met with considerable projudice and in somo instances evidences of down- right hostility towards anything that af- fected Omaha. In other words, our ‘name was Dennis,’ and it was not till some time after the Douglas county contest cases were decided that anything like a friendly consid- eration of our wants could be had. But the delegation were there to do the bost they could and as the result of their endeavors they can it to the fact that to label a bill ‘Douglas county’ meant 1ts success or dofeat just as the delegation desired. Such a condition of affairs was never before scen in the his- tory of Nebraska. 1t is true that early in the session a fow bills were passed that did not meet with thew full support, but such meusures bocame very few as the members made friends, A glance at the list will con- vince the people of the counties that while little noiso was raised thoir interests were being carefully looked after. Not having his memorandum with him, Mr. O'Brien was unable to remember the various bills immediately concerning Doug- las county, but montioned the police relief fund bill, the banking Dbill. the the deep water harbor bill, registor of deeds, street railway consolidation, Omaha charter and South Omaha charter, garnishment, bill, labor days, jnstices of the peace, and bill to prevent any state oftl from being con- cerned in or connnected with any city or stato contract work, In reference to the justice of peace bill, senate filo 210, which Mr, O'Brien was erroneonsly ro- ported as endeavoring to kill, and the the publication of which reports caused him to feel very indignant. He said that: “As a matter of fact [ro was the fathor of the bill and had introduced the samo in the house (ho use roli 869), giving to Senator Hams a copy to introduce in the senate. When the newspapers reported him as fighting the mensure his friends helped make the matter worse by trying to help him Kkill it. After much troule the bill was put up for third reading, only to be indefinitely postvoned. Nothing daunted, the following day, and only twenty-four hours before the time set for adjournment, he went w ecach momber on the floor and eulisted their strongth, suc- cecded in resurrecting the bill, recousider- ing the vote whercby the same’ was indefi- nitely postponed, had the bill recommitted to the committee of the whole, awended, ra- ported back, amendments engrossed and printed and the bill put upon its carried her through and had the sau -by the governor." The dificulty of which is apparent when one cousiders the vast amount of legislation which usually crowds the closing hours of & session which had to be aisplaced to allow even & momentary consideration of anythin not o the list. Mr, O'lirien says he feels proud of s victory. One measure reforrad t0 in the above meutioned bills will probably exercise no little influence in letting of the city’s paviug or seweriug cautracts this season, and that is senate flle 201, which prohibits participation in such werk by any city or state official. Tue attention of the Qity eouncil might bo called to the same. ——— Banking and lumber business for sale. Inquire of Cy E.

Catarrh Oured. A clergyman, after years of suffering from that loathsome disease, Catarrh, and vainly trying every known remedy, at last found a recipe which completely oured and saved him from death. Any sufferer from this dreadful disease send- ing o self-addressed st.mlgged envelope to Prof. J. A, Lawrence, 88 Warren St., New York City, will receive the recipe free of charge. All Fools' Day. was the first of April, All Fools' day the world over. The custom of playing tricks upon people and seuding them upon bootless and ridiculous errands 1s one not easily traced to any tangible or definite source. Some authorities claim that it had its origin in some ancient pagan custom, such as the Huli festival among the Hindoos, or the Romans’ feast of fools. Others say it had its birth among the Germans in the outlying Jow country at the base of the Hartz moun- tains in the gencral festival accorded spring in the times almost prehistoric. In no country, howover, are the pranks of the first day of April, 80 exaggerated and numerous, as they are in this country, particularly among the little foll. There 1is nothing so enjoyable to a youngster as to catch his elders napping, and 1t is curious the ingenuity excroised to bring about the desired result., No one gets angry at an April fool's trick, hence tne liberal indulgence in them by the cnildren at the expense of the grown people, Make no Mistake.

About #40,000 of the securities were re- deemed yesteraay by City Treasurer Rush. ‘The bonds bore 10 per cent interest, and the city was glad to redeem them.

A Reportorial Visit to the Saloons There in Operation. SALES WITHOUT vy LICENSE, The Doggeries on No-Man's Land, Otherwise Known as Cut-Off Island—The Ardent at Valley. A Free Drink. Thé attention of the people, now that th saloons in the city are closed on Sunday, is directed to the resorts in the country con- tiguous to town. Many of these are situated in the two-mile limit, and pay no license to the county. The saloons outside this pelt are compelled to pay 500 annually. A week ago a Bes reporter made a tour of the liquor establishments within the two-mile limit and describes those there found. In connection with these is the saloon of Henry Vollstedt, which is beyond the limit in question and which does not pay any license at all. There is also appended a reference to two more saloons at Valley which are run in defiance of law. The county license 18 paid to the county treasurer, in quarterly installments of $125, the commissioners not having changed in favor of cash payment for licenses when the city decided to conform to the state law, When towns are incorporated, the license fee is paid to tho corporation. The military road runs in an frregular manner northwestward through the city, It is the main avenue along which flows the streams of farmers to and from the city and country beyond. It is lined ~with saloons, no less than five of them being found within about a mile and a half of the city limits. The first of these is found just beyond the city limits. It is the old Rowles place and is now run by L. J, Jesperson. It is a plain structure with high front steps and the proprietor is only too glad to waltz out to his patron on the road and serve them with foaming lager. His patronage from the immediate neignborhood does not amount to much, the greater parl being derived from the farmers and travel along the road. Last year, he hardly paid expenses, but now' that the Sunday law is enforced inside the city limits, be expects to make up for past losses, Further west\is a little composite structure consisting of @ cottage trausformed into a beer ball, flanked on one side by a public buggy shed and onthe other by a “sitting- room for ladies,™ In this wodest little place Adam Frahm dispenses liquors of all kinds and as an inducement to further thesale of them thas provided a small 5501 table for his patrons. Still further to tho west, the large dark- brown two story house of Charies Tietz looms, like a good sized country inn. There are trees to the westand north of it which shade a pretty garden containing rustic benohes, chairs and, ables, & ten-pln ailey, and shooting nllm;y. Cotnected With the houge is a wlou- afice hall which is used on Sundays In batl.luu?marud winter. Sun- day afternoons in the former season, there is @ miscollaneous gathering of young and old, and the hours are spent in enjoyment of ali the pleasures which the place affords. Next along the road in the saloon line is the brigk structure of J. Jensen. It has just been completed. The proprietor has just moved into it and everything is just as fresh @s it could well be after the hands of the ar- . Jensen is & contractor and some of the money he earned from the county in grading has gond into this structure, The last saloon ou the road s located on the junction of Mayne street. It is located in @ little housq which was evideatly intend- for a residence. Over this presides w Bismarckian gentleman named J. Thomsen, 5', is & modest ll&h place and is bub a short istaneo 1nside the western boundary of the Awo mile limit. On Mercer avenue qr Cumwg street, just outside the belt lime, ls & pea-green house, and in this H, P, Hansen sells some excel: leut prewing, He formerly worked in town the border. - On Sundays, since the closing order wént into effect, his business has trebled, and he expects it to increase with every Sunday. On West Dodge near tho Patrick resi- derco Henry Kuehl has transformed a protty littie cottage into o home of Gambrinus, and a fow hundred feet farther wost A. Hart- man has emulated his example. The patron. age of these saloons is derived from the- laborers in the surrounding grading jobs aud brickyards. Still further west on Dodge street on the road to McArdleville and west of the North- western track, Henry Vollstedt, a deputy sheriff of Douglas county, has transformed the frout room of his residence into a bar. Henry is a big, good natured gentleman, re- sembling Joe Redfield. He is about a mile west of the two-mile limit. He sells no beer, because his patronage is not such as to warrant such an undertaking. He there- fore solls whisky, light drinks, and cigars, Henry pays no license to the county, and 18 thus violating the law, which requires him to plank down $500 for the privilege. He was asked how he managed to evade the law, and said that he was out of the way and did not hurt the other saloon keepers and they did not trouble him. On the Millard rond at West Lawn, near the Omaha basket and mantel factories, is the pretty West Lawn hotel, just fresh from the painter. It has a protty saloon, a largo carriage shed, & finely-shaded yard, and may yet become a favorite resort. 1t is run by C. T, Staffora, Nearer Omaha, and adjoining the hotel, is Henry Ruser’s place, beautifully shaded, sup- plied “with walks, summer houses, ton-pin alleys and shooting galleries. Here also is the range of the Omaha Schuetzen verein, composed of the leading German marksmen of vhe city. Here they meet in friendly com- petition every Friday and Sunday, The range is also well patronized. This is.the leading garden and Sunday resort around Omaha. ~ Everything is kept in excellent conaition, and the patronage on Sundays is very large, famlies frequently being found among the visitors, Further east on the road homeward, near Saddle creek, 1s the saioon of J. Ludns, and u little noarer to town is that of Ed, Leeders, ex-councilman. It is situated on the banks of the raging Saddle creek, and on Sunday attracts a large numpber of people from town, The energetic proprietor has a number of seventh-day attractions, which his patrons alwyas find interesting, On Cut-Off Island there are now six saloons, aud by next Sunday there will bo, doubtless, six more added fo the number, Those now in existence huve sprung up within a very short time and the Sunday closing order Will have the effect of giving life to many more, Recently” the city engineer made, at the request of the local authorities, a survey of a part of this Noman's land and decided that the city limits extended 281 feet east of the Locust street bridge, Within this torritory there were three saloons. These have now been moved 10 safe distauce beyond the ecity line and are now re- puted to be in lowa. As @ con- sequence meither their proprictors nor those of the other saloons are comnalled to pay any license, at least ' the authorities of Omaha or Donglas county, If they are subject to any authority it is that of Council Biuffs or Pottawatamie county in Iowa. Some of these are new but flimsy structures, but the greater number are little cottages aud huts utilized for ealoon purposes. They are patronized, as 8 rule, by & hard-looking Class of people who sit and smoke and drink and gamblo in small stuffy apartments, Yesterday they did & thriving business and hundreds of people visited the .sland, who, however, nover crossed their threshold, These saloons are kept by Captain Kent who has established a road house on the unorth end of the islund. This is the most pretentious structure on the place, It fronts the best part of the lake. It is being flanked by a flne beach, which will perhaps make it favorable as aresort. Kent's place aithough farthest by from the city, (s said to really in the city limits, belng within the wmeander of the river, which bhas never been ghanged. If this be true the gallant cap- tain will very likely be called upon to pay his license of §1,000. The other saloon kecp- ors are Bislor, who runs the senate, Captain Van Orman, White, and “Shorty." North of Cut-off lake and just immediately beyond the northern and castern boundary of the city is another saloon of modest pre- tensios It is owned by & man nawmed O'Donnell. It is the first met in this diree- the north are four road houses known as the “Mint,” kept by W. H. Gonsolus;-Lake View House, Gustave Sesseman; a third by Hill & Marsh, and the 1sland House just opened by Peter Begel. Waterloo ana Valley. Valley has three saloons, over one of which a female presides named Mary Oyster. Mary is about fifty-five summers, and is known by nearly every railroad man on the Union Pa- cific, having manip for the past fifteen yen man birth and when qu oned yesterday she stood with one hand on a beer faucet and a 20-pound sledge in the other, she said: ‘““Yes I do von goot business here und now ven de saloons dey olose mit Omaha. de rail- root boys dey cum out here for deir beers,’ Mary does a “goot” business, as the empty kegs in front of her rookery plainly demon- strate, The. other two places ara conducted by Wiliiam Harrier and Peter Fouts, re- spectively, and although the habitation of the place is scarcely three hundred the rum shops report business ‘‘axcellent.” The sa- loonkeepers keep open their places day and night together with Sunday if business de- mands.

Cuapuoy, Neb., March 20.—[Special to Tun Ber.]—Wonderful Nebraska! I have koown for two ycars that castern and cen- tral Nebraska is the most fertile and the surest agricultural section in the great west This the loaded cora bins from Omaha al- most to Sidney prove to cvery one. Butan impression has always prevailed that in your extremo northwest towns, the Black Hills, the soil becomes thin. How mistaken we all are! I have just ridden through seven of your northern and extreme western counties and here Ifind the richest and surest farm country in the state. South of Deadwood, in Sioux, Dawes aud Sheridan counties are their chest aud blackest prairie lands of the state. Box Buite is a veritable garden of Eden and awaiting the coming of Adam. Last year the corn crop was prolific all along the "Elkhorn Valley railroad. At one time to-day I saw in Sheridan county thirty plows turaing uv the sido soil, The soil is full of alkali, aud spring wheat yields phenominally, I can say now that north- western Nebraska is tho best and surest farm country open to settlement. T say open to settlewent, for, in Cheyeune, Sioux, 13ox Butte and Sheridan counties, thore (8 still government land. At Rushville, twenty-five miles east of Chadron I found a town three years old with @ thousaud people. When I asked the rail- road agent how the farmers were doing, he said: *‘Sheridan county is wonderfully prosper- ous. This new town shipped out over $300,- 000 worth of wheat, corn aud cattle lust year and will ship twice as much next year. We are just getting started.” DEADWOOD AND CHAURON. Deadwood is the live town in the Hills above Chadron, but Chadron is the munici- zufl-y of northwestern Nebraska. The 13.
