THE establishment of a boot and shoe factory will give the industrial inter- ests of the city a sure footing. A LANDSLIDE is reportod from Cham- berlain, Dak., but it had nothing to do with the attempt to relocate the cap- itol. THE American meat company, of New York, whose scheme was to organize a great beef trust, has evidently been gored by one of its own bulls. TrEe Oklahoma boomer is advised to lay in a stock of quinine and whisky. The land beyond the deep-rolling Cim- arron is alive with fever and ague. THE new British minister, Sir Julian Pauncefote, has sailed for America. It is safe to predict that he will not vent- “ure to put his foot into politics in the manner of Lord Sackville-West. INDIANA wants a few more of the John Lansford stripe of fighters, and the white caps will retire from busi- ness, Lansford, single-handed, faced twenty of the masked ruffians, and . filled five of them with lead. Ir THE owners of property on streets . that have been ordered to be paved could be protected against the impor- tunities of contractors and their paid agents, there would be no trouble about designating the right paving material, SENATOR WASHBURN is lobbying in the Minnesota legislature for the passage of a bill pronibiting the impor- tation of dressed meats from other states, Washburn imagines he is a bigger man than the United States su- preme court. Tne cat has jumped out of that board of trade meal bin at last. The con- certed raid on the board is inspired by the fact that more than two-thirds of its members have expressed a prefer- ence for locating the postoffice on the square between Farnam and Douglas, OMAHA'S section of the Oklahoma " boomers is split wide open, with the promised land three hundred miles away. The best thing for the boomers to do is to disband and return to their homes. By doing eo they will avoid countless hardships and save consider- able time and money. — ABouT seven miles or street pave- ment will be laid in Omaha this year, The amount is considerably less than last year's record, but the work will connect the main paved thoroughfares north and south and west, and result in greater benefits to the residents of side streets, Tne slump in wheat has been the feature of the speculative market ever since the reports were confirmed that the wheat crop of Minnesota and Da- kota was underestimated. The present year will consequently ;be known in history as one of the most remarkable ever witnessed in wheat speculation, s TuE suicide of the ‘muyor-elect of Colorado Springs, following so closely upon the suicide of mayor of Iowa City, affords a remarkable coincident sugges- tive of the well known fact that rail- road accidents, fives, murders and sui- eides frequently occur simultancously in the most remote places. It's in the alr, 80 to speak. Ss——— MARITIME circles of the Atlantio sea- board are considerably agitated over the fact that Britishers are buying Am- erican vessels and are employing them in the American coastwise trade, This 1s undoubtedly a breach of the United Btates shipping -laws., But as these wvessels still fly the American flag by wirtue of anominal ownership here, it is difficult for custom house officers to in- terlere. Relief, however, is promised © this unjust competition, A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN. The closing days of the prohibitory amendment campaign in ssachusetts are being marked by soi lory earnest and vigorous work on sides. The preachers are taking minent part in the fight,and the t of intellect, if not of membery opposition to the amendment. & eminent pulpit lights as Rev. ips Brooks, Rev. Philip 8. Moxom, v, Cyrus A. Bartol, and a dozen others of no less ability, are arrayed oagainst the proposi- tion to put a prohibitory amend- ment in the state constitution, and advocate higly license as the only prac- ticable pol for dealing with the All these ministers are pposed to the saloon as the 't advocates of prohibition, but they$we the wisdom to seo the practioglibide of the question and the coury 0 stand upon the facts. They know™hat prohibition never has pre- vented the sale of liquor, and its failure when tried under the most favorable conditions, as it has been once in Massuchusotts, warrants them in believing that it must inevitably fail if tried again. They know equally well, on the other hand, that high license as a means of regulating the sale of liquor has every where proved successful, and the cause of temperance has been aided by that polic; As between an open traffic judiciously regulated and made to pay a revenue, and the secret sale of liquor in violation of law, with all the evils in- cident to such a condition, such intel- ligent and sincere men as Drs. Brooks and Moxom have no difficulty in seeing their way clear to the advocacy of tio former, and they are doing it with great force and zeal. The other side is working equally hard. but some of the extremists are giving offense and injuring their cause by extravagance of speech. One of the wost prominent of them recently as- serted that the lquor dealers would spend amillion dollars in the campnign, largely in buying up the newspavers. The Boston (lobe replies to this by say ing that inasmuch as the leading news- the papers of state are unan mous in opposition to the proposed amendment a great deal more than a million doilars would be required if that opposition had to be secured in that way. That journal further says it does not believe the lig- uor interest will spend one-twentieth of the sum named. The indications are that the amend- ment will be overwhelmingly defeated. There is an imposing opposition to it by representative men of brains and char- acter in dll the various walks of life, and they have on their side both com- mon sense and experience. SOLOMON is said to have declared that ‘*there is nothing new under the sun.” The pulpit crusade against the Sunday paper has become a back- number, aithough some people in these parts imagine 1t to be strictly original. The Sunday paper has become as much a necessity with Americans as a warm Sunday dinner, although here and there some man may be willing to con- tent himself with a cold lunch in order to give the cook a day of unbroken rest. Preachers may come and preachers may g0, but the Sunday paper will go on and grow move voluminous from year to year. Itis an open secret, of which even men of the cloth who are not familiar with the mode of making a great daily paper, caunot be ignorant that the greater part of the Sunday paper is a product of Saturday’s labor,and parts of the Sunday paper are written days before they are set in type. The only part of the Sunday paper produced after Saturday mid- nightis the telegraphic and belated local news, coupled with the final make- up and press work. The Monday paper, not the Sunday edition, is really gotton up on the Sabbath day,and the crusa- ders against Sunday papers should, if they desire to compel strict Sunday ob- servance, direct their brimstone and saltpeter against the publication and the Monday circulation of paper. moraing A NUMBER of employes of the Balti- more & Ohio railroad have refused to sign papers giving that road the right to reserve a cer- tain percentage of their earnings for the maintenance of an employes’ insurance company. It s claimed that the scheme is too one-sided to be of any practical benefit to the men in service. ‘Whatever merits such an insurance company may have it is undoubtedly unpopular with the Baltimore & Ohio employes. For some years the insur- ance experiment has been tried by that and other roads, but it has not been supported in a manner to justify its continuance. The truth is that co-oper- ative insurance schemes of this sort are apt to be looked upon with distrust, and employes feel that it is an infringement of their personal rights and independ- ence to be compelled to contribute o their support. For that reason such compulsory schemes usually breed dis- content and seldom prove successful. I¥ the figures presented by the Rail- way Age, of Chicago, are trustworthy, the present year promises to be one of the greatest for railroad building in the history of the country. That jour- nal gives a tabulated statement of the new lines which have been brought to public notice during the last three months, which show that these include six hundred and sixty-six roads of fifty-three thousand, four hundred and thirty-six miles. Of this vast amount, nearly fifteen thousaud miles are under construction or have been contracted for, There are more roads projected in the south than in any other section, and there is marked activity in Dakota and in the Indian territory. It is noted that the new roads are mainly building in parts of the country where they are really needed, and that there is little paralleling under way. r——— SECRETARY JERE RUSK, of the de- partment of agriculture, will do the country a great service i he institutes an inquiry into the number and value of cattle in the various states and ter- ritories where the animalslare raised or fed, The department reports that no record has been kept tending to show \ whether beef packers have depressed the price of beef on the hoof and have raised the price of the product tothe consumer., For the lack of definite in- formation it would appear, therefore, that the charges made by local butchers and breeders can not be substantiated, and rash statements are made to pre- judice the beef packing industries in the eyes of the public. In the light of these facts, it scems strange that state legislatures should have passed local in- spection bills to keep out dressed beef without first thoroughly investigating the subject. OKLAHOMA has been painted alto- gother in too glowing colors. The farmer of this or any other state who throws up his possessions for a peepinto the promised land will find his journey a fool's errand. Not only is Oklahoma insufficient to furnish any considerable number of homesteads, but its soil is not so well adapted for farming as Towa, Kansas or Nebraska, fit onily to raise hay or cotton. There will be innumer- able hardships and disappointments to contend with for the pioneer who goes along with the first rush, It is the wise man who will stay at home and let the army of adventurers and fortune hunt- ers blaze the way. Tie annual report of Superintendent James, of the city schools, verifies the increase in population shown by the re- cent school census. The atwendance at the opening of the epring term of the schools is thirteen hundred more than a year ago, an increase of sixteen per cent. Theso facts demonstrate the steady growth of Omaha and place the population at one hundred and twenty- five thousand. MAJOR BALCOMBE points out a loop- hole in the paving ordinance which permits contractors to bid on their own specifications. That provision should be promptly repealed. It was muni- festly designed to prevent mpeti- tion, which becomes impossible so long as every bidder for paving can make his own specitications.

James Anthony Froade has written a novel entitled *“The Two Chiefs of Dunboy; or, An Irish Romance of the Last Century. One critic says of it that it is ‘“history clothed in a thin veil of fiction.” Much that Mr. Froude has written hitherto, especially with reference to Henry VIIL and Mary Queen of Scots, has been characterized as fiction clothed in a thin veil of history, el R e GREAT MEN. Grand Old Man Gladstone is to be honored with a great natural monument. The high- est peak of the Finisterre range in New Guinear is to be christened|Mount Gladstone. It is said no white man has yet reached its summt. The czar of Russia, according to an Eng- lish traveler, wears a silk strap around his waist in place of suspenders. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is the smallest man of stature of the members of the United States senate, but one of the brainiest men in that body. When he first went to Washington he was subjected to no end of ridicule about nis size, which touched his sensitive nature not a little. Governor Biggs, of Delaware, owns a dozen peach farms, is heavily interested in soveral railroads, and 1s the possessor of wealth in other forms, He does not show this in his dress, however, for he wears.a swallow tail coat, a low cut vest and wide trousers, all of the style of forty years ago, while a high white hat covers his head. Dr, Edward Bedloe, who 18 talked of ‘as consul general to Gairo, Egypt, is the famous wit of the Clover club, Philadelphia, and as he was a resident of Egypt for a number of years, he speaks the language and is familiar with the laws and business methods of the country, His appointment would be pecu- liarly appropriate aud a creditable one t the administration. One of the earliest recolloctions of the late Lewis Hayden, the well known colored man of Boston, was an amusing expericnce that he had when he saw Lafayette, He was perched on a fence, joining heartily in the enthusiasm.

The bishop of Bedford says, in response to a London clergyman who denounced boxing as an unchristian exercise: *I s00 no possi- ble harm in boxing. It is a capital exercise, and calculated to promote good temper and self-control. Idonot know why every man should not know how to defend himself." John G. Whittier is now well along in the 82d year of his tranquil and noble life, yet he still walks with noble step, his frame is erect, and hus faco is always serene. It is evident from the productions he has recently given to the vublic that his poetical facul- ties are vet blooming as they were half a century ago. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria may be de- posed, but will not probably be kidnapped as his predecessor was. Three hundred young men have voluntarily formed themselves into a bodyguard and sworn to defend him to the death.

MEDICINE FOR THE DOCTORS A Oharacteristioc Sermon by the Rev. Charles W. Savidge. BESET BY MANY TEMPTATIONS. The Varions Pitfalls Which Lie in the Path of the Physician and How Best to Avold Them, Physician, Heal Thyselt, Graxp Isuaxp, Neb, April 14.—[S to Tur Ber.|—Rev. Charles W, Savidge preachea to a large congregation in the Methodist Episcopal church here to-night, His subject was the physician. Ho took for his text Luke 4:23—Physician, heal thyself. In substance he said: I address this sermon to the physicians, In the bible God speaks to you by name twelve times. Looking into this old pook I believe in medicines as well ns prayers for the sick, King Hezekiah was about to die. God him- self had saia: et thine house in order, for thou shalt die.” The king prayed for life, His physician took a lump of figs and laid it on the boil and he recovered. 1 believe in the faith prayer, but I believe in the pills, to0. But leave God out of the sick ronm an yOou have bad results. So this book tells us. Look at this, taken from the bible: *Asa, in the thirty-and-third year of his reign, was diseased 1n his feet until his diseaso wus exoceding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but 1o the physiciuns. And Asa slept with his fathers.” Just what he might have expected. Let God be left out and the undertakers get a job. One whole book of the new testament was written by a physician. Dr, Luke tells us how shamefully that poor fellow was treated, who fell among thieves. Aud be draws a yever-to-be-forgotten picture of the wounds of Christ. The body and the soul are Siamese twins, The one has a mighty influence over the other, We ought all to believe in the wospel of good health, 1 remark that the healing art is one of the oldest and most honorable., Ninetoen hun- dred years before Christ, Joseph told the physiclans to embalm his father. Rippo- crates, the most celebrated pbysician of anti- quity, was born about 460 B. C. 1In the third century before Christ, Herophilus distin euished himself by the study of anatomy. The physicians of remote antiquity were deemed super-human, and in our time no man is more truly respected than the skillful, con- scientious doctor. Some of the finest monu- ments we have in our land have been erected to the memory of those men who died bat- tling with disease. You need vreaching, because as a class you are subject to great temptations. If you ask me what two men are most severely tried and tempted every day, I would answer, ‘“I'he physician and the minister.” There are five great tempta- tions which meet the doctor at every turn of the road. You are greatly tempted to drink. From over-work and 10ss of sleap you are worn out. You come in from a long ride in the country on a stormy day—urgent callers t you at your oftice on your roturn, You take a glass of wine; you feel refreshed. ‘Thie habit_fastens upon you and you are a slave. One of the ablest physicians in the state of Ohio died a drunkard. There grad- in Chicago in 1881 a talented young physician who 18 now in this state, a wreck from drink. The cursed drink claims yet as its victims many of vhe brightest and best of our physici Vou are tempted to ie. Old Job said to wnree men who pretended to practice in his day “You three doctors are forgers of 1i Old Job would tell a doctor what he thought of him. You tell lies to get and to lold cases. You often tell the patient he is worse than he is. You give disease o strong coloring for the sake of a reputation. A simple throat trouble has more than once been calied diphtheria. 1 don't believe a lie ever permanently helped anybody. You have told hies to the wife to shield the hus- band and to the husbaud to shicld the wife. God has got every lic wmarked down against you, and if you don't stop lying and repent, you will go to hell with the rest of the liars. ; ’Thc doctor is tempted to lead an impure ife, nd many fall. Some are not only bad ves, but they tell young men tnat if he Jaws of health, they Itis a wonder he lightning doesn’t strike such doctors. The physician whio lives an impure life is bad enough. But he who will, by his evil ad- vice, make youngz men his partners in sin, is surely a candidate for the hottest corner in hell ~ If you insist on 1t, I can give you ex- amples of physicians of skill in their profes- sion who live badly in social ways and teach young men that a chaste and virtuous life is not the most healthful. God help such men! You are tempted to commit murder. A great pressure is brought on the doctor to take the life of the unborn child. One of the greatest inducements to ebortion is in the temont usually found in medical works that life does not exist until about the fourth month. It doecs exist from the moment of impregnation—for it grows. Iv could not grow without life. There is noth- ing dead in nature. The husband and wife ch the doctor to commit this The wife says ve are 1o poi any nd I cannot live to bear 1l take my own life if you do nore children auothe I:¥ not. hel I'be children act 1s they do not want the trouble of as these little ones interfere with the mothe ing into society. Money and sympathy are the means by which the physi- clan is usually caugnt. One of the most eminent physicians in Pennsylvania was offered $1,000 to perform an_abortion on a young girl, but as he de- clined, the wan said, just name your price.” The physician said, *there is not money enough in this city to hire me to commit that crime.” s sin of infanticide. Perhaps only one in fifty comes to the notice of tho doctor, It is pra d in the homes, in the family circle. v u professediy christian wife has become skillful in destroying the life of her unborn children. They are us surely murderers as the woman who has re- cently been on trial in the metropolis of our state. You are tempted to lead an irreligious life, There are twelve physicians in this city and only one active christian that I know of. 1 never heard but one doctor pray. The surroundings of the medical student in col- lege are not helpful to his faith. Some of the teachers swear before the clusses, Then the hurrying physician finds it dif- cult to attend church, The very nature of ‘hm work is apt o lead him ioto material- 810, If I were able I would draw the likeness of the ideal physician, He comes from good stock and is a manly fellow. *You can't muke a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” He understands his business. He hates quack- ery. He is trustworthy. Into his ear is poured the family secrets nand troubles, and they are locked in an iron chest. He is clean and pure in his person and life. The babits of drinking and gambling never fasten themselyes upon him. Nor does no debauch himself with concubines and har- lots, He knows that virtue alone will make him happy and enable him to withstand his critics. One physician very fittingly says: *What right have I to approach the bedside of adelicate and, perhaps, hypersensitive patient with my hreath or clothing reeking with liquor or tobacco?” God's words to the priests may be spoken to you: *He ye cl that bear the vessels of the Lord.” Heis a pleasant, cheerful man. Like that little child, he has swallowed a spoonful of sun- shine. I have read of five men, who resolved that they would make au experiment and see what they could do in the way of depressing & bealthy man, They resolved to meet him at different points on his journey. As he stepped out from his home in the mominE in robust health, one of the five men met him and said: “Why, you look very sick to-day. What is the matter(" He said: *I am in exeellent health—there is nothing the matter with me."” But passing down the street began to examine bis symptoms, and the second of the five men mei him, “Why, how bad you look." “Well,” hereplied, * I don't feel very well.” After a while the third man met him, and the fourth and the Afth came up and said: “Why you look as though you had had the typhoid fover for six weeks. What is the matter with you!” And the man against whom the stratogom had been plied went home and died, 1 want my physician to bo a christian, A gren man in this country has lately said, “A lootor who has gone through the medical col- 10ge and tho dissecting rooms has traversed the wonders of the human mechanism and found no God in any of the Inbyrinths, is a fool, and cannot doctor me or mine.” Cuvier, the groat sciontist, whilo describing the articnlations of the thumb, paused before his class and remarked that he had been skeptical, but in the wisaom of the movements of the thumb there must be a David, the king, must have boen studyin, the anatomy of ilu own body when he said, “I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Thero are nearly one hundred thousand hysicians 1 the United States. I would to Jod they were all christians. Your lives are more brief than other pro- fessional men, and you are exposed to deadly disease, Don't put off the preparations for eternity. I have attended physicians when death scemed imminent and they were anxious about the soul's welfare. In the state of Illinois an old doctor was dying worth nearly & million of money. e said: “I have made one great mistake. My whole life has beon given up to money-mak- ing.” Be a christian. Sydenham, and Cooper and Harvey, and Rush, could pray as well as prescribe. May you all reach that happy country where the inhabitants never say, ‘I am sick."” Rev. D. W. Kerr's Idea of Sabbath Rest. Rev. D. W. Kerr, of the Southwest Pres- byterian church, preached a sermon yester- day morning from the text: 'he Sabbath was mado for Man," Sabbath, he said, means rest, and when the Sabbath was created a rest day was made for man to meet the roquirements of his na- ture. No man can forever stand the strain of working every day in the year. He must haverost. Yetat least ono in everygeight men must do so. It has been found that 2,250,000 meu in the United States are com- pelled to labor every day in the year. Of these 127,000 are n the employ of the gov- ernment, 500,000 are_employed on the rail- roads and nowspapers, and another 500,000 are at work in ‘the saloons. Nine hundred thousana labor commercial houses, shops and mines, This unceasing toil tends to reduce men to a level with brutes. -It makes thom rebollious and breeds anarchy. It makes them resentful and ma- licious " and crushes out home influences. It reduces their strength until they cau no longer resist the temptation to do evil. Those who labor this way are griovously wronged. What is the remedy? In the first place it must be understood what is good for the capitalist is good also for the laborer, The laboring man 1s the foundation of all prosperity 'aud must be protected. The church is able and should give him tha pro- tection. Itis the church’s province to do this and if she fails to do so she is derehict in her duty. These two and a quarter mil- lions of people must have restand the church joins them in demanding it. At least one day in seven is required by all men for rec- reation. Nature demands it and God com- mands it. Theargument from inference is conclus How shall this day of rest be secured? In the first place” the workmen must be- Lieve that they absolutely need it; mnst live and talk as though they need it aud then the law power must be called upon. Of the two and a_quarter millious who work Sunday, 27,000 toil for the government. The work is unneccessary and the government could and should give these men aday of rest. People should not patronize Sunday papers or rideon Suuday trains, They are con- ducted only for the satisfaction of a greed for money, Inorder that people may have them men must work, if everyone would refuse to buy them the men could rest. All the people should join in ask- ing the national congress to pass the Sunday rest day bill now pending. This can be done entirely independent of any religious doc- trine, and after it is obtained men can obtain the rest in the manner they judze best, and uot of necessity in religious worship. If my neighbor wishes to rest at home, I should not intrude my church on him. ' But from Sinai, at the same time, shall be heard the voice'of the Lord saying, *“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." The Closed Door. The Rev. Dr. Wiliiamson, of the Central United Presbyterian church, took for. his subject last evening, “The Closed Door.” His text was Matthew 25, 1-13, tho parable of the ¢ and five foolish virguns, the closing words being “and the door was shut.” He said in brief: “The ten virgins represent the church. The wise are those who are rightfully there, tho foolish aro those who have an object in being in the church, but are cither carcless or hypocritical and have no right there. The ol is the grace of God. Tho lamps are the church, Tho wise have faith in God and receivo his grace in their neart. The foolish do not. The meeting of the bridegroom is the meeting of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the resurrection those on the carth shall remain and those that aro dead shall come forth to meet our God. The trimming of the lamps doubtless means the awakening into Lfe of our slumbering energies. What is meant by the shutting of the door! Kirst, that those witkin are with the bridegroom and are his friends enjoying his companionship. Second, that they are enjoying the nuptial emoni ‘When Christ brings home his bride, the church, it is ours to congratulate e him, The door that is shut keeps iends and shuts out the enemies. The happiest moments of our lives are when we associated with those we love. Those who came tardy wished to be rezard- edas friends and were thought to be fricnds, But they were slothful and indifferent and their tardiness showed they were unworthy friends. All who do not believe in God or who know him but are neglectful belong to the fc h virgins. The miduoight ery of behold the bridegroom cometh shall come to allof us. Death comes with padded feet. His approach is noiscless, Others by you not hear him but the cry will ring in your ears with trumpet tones. "It is then too late to fill your lawps. 'The soul shall go forth from 'its tenement of clay companion- less aud shall be dragged down by wmocking demons to the lake that burneth with fire to dwell fo) r in torment with the devil and his angel The Sunday Dance. Rev. J. E. Ensign preaghed to a large audience at the St. Mary's avenue Congrega- tional church last nmight, in advocacy of the “*Open Door” work of the W, C.T.U. He chose his text from the twelfth chapter of Romans: *‘Abhor that which is evil,” He promised his audience that he would not waste any time talking about dead issues, but would apply the plumbet of God's truth 10 the facts an eas and wrongs of to-day. He told the story of Nathan the prophet, and the disaster that was visited upon the trayeler who took the lamb of the poor man and left the flocks of the rich man undis- turbed. The speaker referred to the six Sunday dances that occur regularly in Omaha, and the Sunday ball games as bein, an ovidence of the ramd manner in whicl the city is mounting up the shining way. The Sunday deuce he characterized as a fearful institution, a mighty agent of death and hell that is the greatest feeder of houses of shame. The Sunday dance is a foreign insti- tution, and should be, in Mr. Eusign's opin- ion, confined to foréign countries, *‘This deluge of Sunday pleasure,” said the speaker, “is not only unboly, butit'is l)mm.\vuly evil and wicked, The country girl unused to the glamor of city life, falls & prey to tho patrons of the Sunday dance and the Sunday theatre, and the first thing she knows she is ‘over the garden wall,’ wandering around in the mazes of the Sunday dance, dazed, drugged ana damned. A dance at one of these places is a dance of hell. Fleo these things and abhor evil in every form," il L At Westminster, Rev. Henry T, Miller, formerly pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian cnurch of Chicago, occupied the pulpit of the Westminster Pres-: byterian church last evening, delivering an eloquent sermon.

TR N SN 6 AR\t L5 D R NEBRASKA OITY. Some of the Substantial Improves ments Already Under Way, Nenrasga Crry, Nob,, April 14.—[Spocial to Tur Ber.|—~Nobraska City continues to grow in its own quiet way, & way that is called miraculous by people who visit the old town from timo to time. While real es. tate values in other towas in tho stato are constantly decling, in Nobraska City tho market is higher than it was last year, In no year in ten has there bean 80 much build- ing s at prosent, and the growth of the city demands it. Awmong the public improvements under way this lprlni are paving, extending tho water mains and sewers, and building new street raiironds. A $20,000 publio school houso is also under way, which will be one of the handsomest in the state. Largo im- provoments are being made in the stock i;nrdn and packing houses to do an enlarged usiness this coming year. The Nebraska City Driving Park and Fair association will have grounds completed in about four woeks, and preparations mado to secure the summor course of races. Tho so- cioty will join the American Trotting asso- ciation, and Lorse and_trotting tournaments will bo a feature of Nebraska City's enter- prises, The city will win ano her feather as a place for successful celebrations on Arbor day, as that day will be observed in o manner only second to the great bridge celebration of last fall. 1t is eminently proper that Nebraska City should observe it in a fitting way, since it 18 the home of the originator of the day., Mr. Mo ton will also on that day present to the o Morton park, a natural wooded park nf twenty acres. 1t will be dedicated along with the Arbor celebration. The driving park will also be given to the city on that day. This is done to insure the people a permancnt fair and driving park. Awmong the speakers who will be present to take part in the day are Hon, George L. Miller, Hon. James Woolworth and Hon, A. J. Saw- yer. Reduced rates will be given on rail- roads and over the bridwes. Nebraska City is gotting an enviabloe repu- tation as a desirable place for tournaments and pleasure scekers. On May 25, the Coun- cil Bluffs fire department will visit the city, and the home department is making prepa- rations Lo receive thom royally. The citi- zens have extended liberal assistance, and it is proposed to have aa inter-stato firomens' tournament, at which liberal prizes will be offered to competing companies, About May 1, the state university and Peru Normal school cadets will go into oamp at Nebraska City for a week. The cit- izens have col vuted toward their comfort and expenses. The only drawback the city h: ex per- fenced to its boom of 1850 fs @& disappomt- ment received from railway sources. The B. & M. DeWitt line, which had been prom- ised by-that road this year, has again been de! . A prominent manof the road says the line will be built, butit is unot probablo that it will be done this year, as the road is cutng down every possible source of ox- pense. Great hopes were also built on the Rock Island and Wabash, as one or both were expected to extend tlieir lines from a point in Towa to this city. The board of trade recently presented a proposition to the Rock Island and received a _roply that while the rond would be pleascd consider it, the company would not and could not build a single mile of road in Iowa a8 iong s the present anti-railroad laws ex- isted in that_state, and consequently could not build to Nebraska City. The question of levying an occupation tax of $500 on the saloons of Nebraska City is now before the council. The members of that body are equally divided on the subject, and it is doubtful if the proposition will oarry. The saloons of this city at present pay 500 license, although according to popu- lation. should pay 81,000. The city treasury 18 in sore need of the money and that is tho reason the tax 18 proposed. DISCIPLES OF HENKY GEORGE. They Meet and Talk for the Good of Their Cause, The Omaha Single Tax club met at Gato City hall at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The meeting opened with an address by W. D. Becket, upon the subject of ‘‘Reforms and Reformers.” He referred to the fact that all great reformers had been stigmatized as visionary dreamers by the great mass of the people of the times in which they lived, and yet whose reforms are now part of our civilization and the result of whose great work we are now enjoying n the privilege which each one has of worshiping Gnd ac- cording to the dictates of hisown conscience. He spoke also of those reformers who dreamed of establishing a form of govern- ment under which all should enjoy equal political liberty, and how thewr 1deas were scouted as being absurd and impossible. Yet to-day we are living under a republican form of government which is but tho realization of what was then consid- ered a wild and impracticable dream. Then, having seen religion and political lib erty established the speaker asked if it wore too much to hope that we might yet see tho realizatian of that great reform which 1s to bring industrial liberty to mankind. This, he claimed, could be accomplished by abolish- ing all taxes on improvements and substitut- a sinele tax on land values. The meeting then listened to the reading of the first chapter of Henry George's Progress and Poverty, by Mr. John Hiles. A general dis- cussion of the single tax followed. Speakiug, reading and answering questions are on tho vrogramme for next Sunday when all are cordially invited to attend and participate.
