Its northern boundary was South Dakota and the lakes. To eastern Nebraska and Iowa the rain was particularly benoficial, owing to the light snow-fall of winter and the searcity of spring rains. The unusual precipitation will go far voward restor- ing the flow of springs and wells in the Missouri” Valley, and place growing grain boyond the danger of drought. THERE is every indication thav the work of surveying the arid regions of Colorado and the territories will be pushed forward at an early day. The chiefs of divisions and heuds of the sur- veying parties have been appointed and are alrendy on the field. Itremains for the president only to give the word whether the geographical survey or the eivil service commission shall make the | minor appointments before uctive op- erations begin, The work is necessa- vily o great undertaking. Itis notin- tended to make complete detail maps of the country surveyed. Butitis proposed to furnish the goverument sufticient knowledge of the topography, water supply and hydraulic conditions of the Arrigable lands within the arid district so as to demonstrate the practicability of reclaiming them. The best results are _ likely to be obtained in the north for the reasons that the head waters of the great rivers are contered in a compara- tively small area. It is belicved thut there is wator enough in the sources of _ the Yellowstone, the Platte and other rivers to supply all the land in their wvailoys capable of rcclamation.

There is no longer any doubt of the existence of oil in paying quantities in Wyoming. The faith of moneyed men in the discoveries is shown by the num- ber of companies recently organized to secure a share of the new fields and the profite which await the investment. Experts from Penpsylvania and New York have made thorough examina- tions of the country and pronounced the oil bearing region surprising in.pextent. The credit of thisimportant discovery belongs to Omaha citizens. Their en- ergy and persoverance extending over o period of ten years demonstrated that a second Pennsylvania in mineral re- sources exists on our western border. These men backed their faith with their means, and to-day control the cream of the oil region. Of the six Nebraska companies operating in that section four are credited to Omaha, and together thoy own nearly four-iifths of the un- covered oil fields. This tact gives Nebraskans superior advantages in tho developmont of an industry of paramount importance to the west. Will they continue in control? Will Omaha and the state renlize “the full benefit of the Jdiscovery? These are questions demanding the serious consideration of our money men. Wall street capital is beginning to flow into the territory.and the men who made fortunes out of the oil industry in Pennsylvania are placing their covetous hands on the new ficlds of the west. They realize the vast im- portance of the new fields and the op- portunities afforded for profitable re- turns on the money invested, and they are not slow to take advantage of the situation. Our moneyed men are back- ward and indifferent. They must rouse themselves and back the men whose faith and energy are virtually crowned with success, Outside capitalists are already seeking a share of their property, and it is not unlikely that sufficrent inducements will soon be offered them to part with a control- ing interest. Such a transfer would be a misfortune to the ecity, and yet it can hardly be avoided, under existing conditions, be- cause the companies do not control sufficient capital to profitably handle the oil. Refineries must be built and operated, and pipe lines constructed to convey the crude oil from the wells to a central depot. These essentials require a vast amount of money, but handsome returns are certain, not only toindivid- uals but to Omaha and the state. Locul control of the ol means that Omaha will be the Cleveland of the west. 1t means the construction of a pipe line from the ofl fields to this city. And more important than all, it means the solution of the fuel problem, which now seriously affects our industrial growth. This alone would he of incalculable value to the city and state. Cheap fuel means more factories, permuanent employment for labor, and a larger market for the products of the farm in exchange for the products of tho mills. Every factory adds to the sum total of our prosperity. It benefits the mer- chant as well as the mechanic, and gives strength and permanency to trade and population. These are a few of the possibilities in store for Omaha if her capitalists tako hold of the Wyoming oil fields, not for speculative purposes, but for their own and the city’s good. Energetic and united action is necessary to prevent tho tide of oil flowing southward toward the gulf. fields WAITING ON THE UNITED STATES. It appears that all that is now neces- sary to close the Samoan negotiations is an order from Secretary Blaine to the American commissioners to sign. There were some verbal changes which he desired made, and his request for these changes were promptly acceded to. Itisnot understood what further reasons there are for delay, but at any rate the administration has done wisely in giving the terms agreed upon by the commissioners careful and deliberate consideration. ~There is no de- mand for haste, while there is very great necessity that the agree- ment shall be so_clear and defi- nite in its every provision that there will be no difficulty in its interpreta- tion and no loophole left for future con- troversy. It shouid effect a settlement that will insure the perpetual freedom of the Samoans from all danger of hav- ing their home affairs dominated by either of the powers making the treaty, while securiug equality of rights and privileges to such powers. This is the fair and just policy which the United States has contended for in the Samoan controversy, and which it is bound to sce fully earried out. The listle difficulty which the representa- tives of this country at Berlin found in enfdrecing the "demands of the gov- ernment evidences conclusively the soundpess and the justice of its position, and the indefensible charactor of Ger- many’s attitude. Whatever furthe conditions Secretary Blaine may re- quire, if any, will undoubtedly be only such as are consistent with the declared policy of this country and essential to its success. A conclusion of the coun- ference is expected to bo reached this weelk, when the terms of the agreemont will doubtless be made public. e— THE BREACH MADE. All doubt regarding the course of tho Chicago & Alton road in tho matter of reducing lamber rates between Chicago and the Missouri viver, has been re- moved by the letter of the general man- ager to the chairman of the Inter-State Commerce Railway ussociation, an- nouncing thut a reduced rate will be made June 14, It will beremembered that this company applied to the Inter- State Commerde Railway association for the privilege of making a rate of ten conts a hundred, which the association refused to allow, presenting very cogent reasons for the refusal. Awmong these it was said that to permit the voduced rate to be made would very likely result in bring- ing on u vate war, The geuoral man- agor of the Chicago & Alton intimated at the time that the company would probably muke a lower rate anyhow, but the delay in doing so suggested that a different decision had beon- reached. The announcement of the goueral man- ager shows that the mattor had simply been under advisement and that the original purpose was adhered to. The breach thus made isa serious matter for the railway association, and coupled with other inde- pendent movements by railronds belonging to the association consti- tutes a serious menace to its existence. If the decisions of the asso- ciation can be thus disregarded and roads connected with it can do ns they please without restraint, or responsibil- ¥, it is manifestly only a rope of sand and can not hold together. Another demand of the Alton, for a division of the live stock traflic to Kansas City, is before the commission. If the de- cision is ngainst the demand the Alton will undoubtedly “withdraw from the association, while if favorable it is more than probable the St Paul will withdraw. In either event the associ- ion is very likely to suffer & loss of membership. The withdrawal of one road and its action in muking rates would . bo pretty sure to lead to the dropping out of others, It looks very much as if the railway associations were doomed, and after that what? Undoubtedly o renewal of the rate wars which the association was or- ganized to prevent, and move ovasions and violations of the inter-state com- merce law which it was also a purpose of thoe association to put an end to. The situation should suggest to the inter- state commerce commission the neces- sity of increased vigilance and a firmer policy in enforcing obedience to the law. T efforts of the democratic organs to create an impression that the rela- tious between Harrison and Blaine are sirained have not been even moderately successful, yet they do not tire of the unprofitable task. The Washington correspondents of these journals return toit at brief intervals, manufacturing the most obviously absurd stories of dis- agreements and of studied efforts on the part of tho president to annoy Mr. Blajre. The idea sought to be conveyed is that President Harrise® loses no op- portunity to intimate to the secretary of state by his action that heis the president, and that Mr. Blaine finds this very irritating, while he also frets under disappointment in not having to control all the appointments in his department. Not only do these stories totally misrepfesent the character of both the president and Mr. Blaine, but they have repeatedly been shown to be groundless. Every circumstance goes to show that there has.been the most agreeable and satisfactory understand- ing bgtween the president and the sec- retary of state, asthere has between the executive and all the members of the cabinet. What it is hoped to accom- plhish by setting afloat such misstate- ments can not casily be conceived, par- ticularly when their falsity can be so readily and effectively established.

Burraro, Wyo., June 9.—[Special to Tie Ber.|—There were filed with the county clerk yesterday ninety locations of oil placer lands, embracing 145,000 acres of choice pe- troleum ground in the Bonanza oil mining district of Johnson county, seventy miles west of Buffalo. The locators named, some of whom are prominent Omaha capitalists, are as follows: Ernest Riall, Russell J. Straight, Albert M. Kitchen, Daniel H, Dor- sott, Ernest V. Johnson, Charles £. Collis, Frank A. Hecht, William E. Hawley and P! Shannon. The same company has also secured 10.000 acres of oil lands in _ the Salt crecl aistrict, in the southern border of this (Johnson) county. In an interview to-day Mr. Huwley expressed himsolf as confident that the most sanguine expectations of the oil men who aro interested in this section will ba realized, and that the oil excitement here will equal the furoro creatod by the dis- covery of the groat petroleu:n fields of Ponn- sylvania.

He theorized, however, and shot very far oft the mark. During the whole of his admin- istration this evil continued to grow and most luxuriantly thrive right under his very nose. 1donot care to discuss this subject myself, as I have no theories to advanco. Bug even proachers might be brought to ad- mit that there are degreos of degredation and all will say that the line of absolute ob- literation and prohibition should be drawn somowhere. Ioryears a dive near the cor- ner of Kighth aud P has continued to oxist, with no molestation from tbe authorities save whon some dastardly outrage was com- mitted. 1f the keeper or any of his con- ferces weat out on the streot aad dragged in a helpless victim by the hair, possibly enough noise would develop to attract the at- tention of tho police, and the den would be pulled. But the police know, the mayor knows, everybody knows that this vile den is in one of the most prominent places in the city; that it has become a stench in tho nos- trils of everyone who passes up P> street into the city from the Burlington depot; that it is absolutely the lowoest, most degraded and loathsome den in the city, and that it should be absolutely wiped from the face of the carth. Why isn’t it done? The city papers lament its e: ence and hold up their hands in holy hor: because there is no way to suppress the festive Adam. Let us see: Section 210 of the criminal code reads as follows: *‘Section 210. Every house or building situated in this state, used and occupied as a house of ill-fume, or for the purpose of pbros- titution, shallbe held and deemed a public nuisance: and any person owning, or having the control of, as guardian, lessee, or other- ise, such house or building, and knowingly pg or sub-letting the same in whole or part for the purpose of keeping therein a ouse of ill-fame, knowingly or permitting the same to be used or odcupied for such purpose, or using or occunying the same for such purpose, shall, for every such offense, be fined in any sum not exceeding $100 or im- prisonment not less than thirty days nor more than six months, or both at the discre- tion of the court., “It can hardly be said in view of this statute, that there is no way to suppross them. It is a well known fact that these premises ave used for this and other im- moral purposes; that gambling of the lowest and most disreputable character is nightly practiced ; thav the poor dupes who enter are are drugged and robbed, 1n fact that every thing thav is vile and low, and mean and grovelling is openly practiced therein. The police, the mayor, the general public, as well as the owner and agent of the premises know it fully well. If the city attorney does ot know it some one should take the trouble to inform him, and an action should be commenced im- mediately agamnst the owner of these prem- ises under the above statute. “If this1s done and this disreputable dive closed, such sceaes as occurred the other night, when poor drunken Sadie Harper was dragged in and outraged by three negro brutes, would never occur again, at least, not. on ouc of our most public streets. True, she was a prostitute, but even prostitutes have some rights which the public and the au- thorities are bound to respect. Then her little t year ola girl, who yet is pure and innocent, would not be subject to such con- tamination. 1t is true,” continued this lawyer, ‘‘that the city attorney, the mayor, ths marshal and the entire police forco should wake up to the fact that this den has had its day and should go."” LANCOLN HUREAU oF Tas Owaaa Han, } The Travelers’ Outing. Not much has been said of late regarding the traveling men’s outing at Cushman purk the last week in Juue, bu the wori has been going quietly on all the same. Mr. L. W.

Dr. Patterson’s Sun- day Morning Discour At the Masonic hall Rev. Dr, Patterson (Universalist) preached Sunday morning and evening. His topic in the morning was “#Phe Joyful Christ,” from John 17 ““Phose things | speak in the world, thut they may have my joy fulilled in themsetves.” We will limn for you as well as we can & verbal portrait of the joyful Christ. The aruists of the middle ages, and even of wod- eru Limes, have thrown too sowmbre a color - ing upon their portraits of the Savior. We recall but two or three exceptions to this rule, among all the Christ faces, which adorn the churches and art gallories of the old worl ‘Theola has Joined hands with art in mak- ing Christ whe sorrow-beaver of mankind, He was indeed ¥ man of sorrow und ac- quainted with griel.” At the sume tiwe, i wo study his deopor spirit and lifo, wo sha® 800 that his was ono of the mos blessed and happy lives that over gladdened the carth. He does not resent himself as burdened \'m pain and woe. Ho seems to havo felt he had such fulluess of gladnoss that if he could im- part it to the souls of men it would hll them with unspeakable joy. 1. The perfoct poiso of faculties which we find in him 18 a constant source of happiness, He was a heaithy soul, animating a healthy body. There wero no hereditary taints, cithier iu his brain or blood. He brought upon himself no form of physical ill by the viola- tion of the laws of life. He ministered to the ills of others, but we have no evidence that he ever had pecasion to heal discases of his own. To this physical manhood, finer than a Greek Apollo, was added a perfect mental organism. There wore no discases of the mind to cloud his life, no derangements of tho norve forces to intorrupt the ecasy flow of happiness, Ho saw things as thoy are, and was never weighted, as wo often are, by unreal or . borrowed trouble. There were with him no sorrows growing out of o perverted conscicnce, no neglected to bo deplored, o sins to be atoned. And can we conceive of one whose entive nature, purpose and work, wore at- tuned to the law and purpose of God, as oth- oriise than happy ! . Ho oxperienced the serene satisfaction which springs from love and trpst. He loved God supremely. He trusted God implicitly. He loved man tonderly. Ho understood as none ever dia since or before, the worth and possibilities of the human soul. Hatred and distrust, thoso hateful roots of bitterness uever found lodgement in his heart. 8. He folt also the joyful mspiration of an oxalted purpose, One can never fail of hap- pinoss whose lifo is dominated by exalted aims, One with ignoble aims can never know the real joys. Much of our unhappi- ness has its root in secltishness. Our plans center largely in oursclves. These plans do not always succeed, a8 wo feel a sonse of loss. OF if they do succeed, selfishness oan never bring rounded ]n{. Christ had none of this selfish ambition.” Hence he escaped the sorrows which spring from the rootand soil of selfishness. He was wholely unselfish, Hence he experienced the joys which are natural to the generous soul, as song is natural to the lark, or fragrance to the son. 4. Not only was Christ thrilled by exalted purpose, he was cheered by consclous wwor. We are pained by our limitations. ‘© see evil and sorrow and suffering which weo cannot alleviate or remove. He could say in the midst of these “‘All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,” and he could show by deed as well as word, that he was mighty to heal and comfort, Aro wo told that men rejected him and his offer of mercy, and that the joy which might have filled his heart was changed to sorrow by the ill appreciation of mankindi Yes, But dia_ all reject him! Were not the de- ciples, when called, quick to follow him? Did not the common peoplo hear him eladly? Did not the little band of faithful ones, when gathered about him, becomo the seed corn of a triumphant church! We are accustomed to speak of Christ's earthly ministry, as if it were a failure ut did he deem it a failurel Did he not exclaun i tones of exultation, even amid the pains of martyrdom: ‘I have fi the work which thou gavest me to do! were the successes which attended earthly ministry all that he had to sustain him, " He belonged to the true race of prophets. In the falling seed he could see the ripened harvest. As he uufim in the temple, or down by the sea,"as he heaied by the wayside, or stood at the gate of Naln, as he wept over Jerusaigm or bent ¥nfler the weight of the cross, tha'scroll of futur- ity was unrolled. He saw his gospel ex- tending until it controlled the trone of th Cwmsars. He saw it sweop on, through thy German forests and across the bplajns o Italy, and enthrone itself in the Briti s lands. He saw it take shipping in the May- flower, and light its beacon fires on these far western shores. He saw the idols o ug&n- ism go down before it, and the manacles fall from the limbs of slaves. He saw purer customs and better loves and larger liberty, and happier and more peaceful homes, ox- tending with his gospel from the river to the ends of the earth. He said the king- doms of this world, are becoming more and more the kingdoms of the Lord, and earth be- came a section of heaven, and the two world" blended into one, and tho ransomed family of God, bowing before the king, cried, ‘‘Holy| Holy ! Lord God Almighty!” “Worthy I8 the Lamb that was slamn, to receive riches, and wisdom, and honor and blessing.” “'Blessing and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne.” “And for the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross.”” Christ calls us into his service, not that we may wear o mantle of sack-cloth. He calls us to nrivilufin. to freedom, to worship with God. He calls us that we may know th worth of life, that his joy may be yu us, NI; that our joy may be full, satisfying, overlast- ng. . Dr. Pattorson announced his purpose to organize a Universalist church next Sunday, and invited all who are in sympathy wi this movement, and would like to come 'él:li; fellowship, to report to him before B For the Flood Sufferers. b The general committee appointed to oollecs funds for the Johnstown sufferers will mest in board of trade hall, this morning.
