MixNmAPOLIS, Minn,, June 18.—[Special Telegram to Trr Brs.|—With the exception of Andrews' home run in the ninth, which ‘was the only tally Omaha had any license to make during the game, the Nebraskans made all their runs on errors in the fifth and sixth innings.

Dugdale set things rolling the wrong way mn the fifth by throwing way over second 1 an sttempt to catch Andrews; that let An. @rews make third, and Canavan brought him {nto camp with a long hit to center, That was the first run, and in the sixth Min- neapolis started in the same way. Hanrahan fondled Cooney’s grounder until that gentle- man had been reccived with open arms and a bland smile by Minnehan, Cleveland ‘was hit was a pitched ball, and then old Pat Dugdalo's son tried to catch him napping, ‘but if Cleveland was napping Minnehan was asleep, for the ball went skimming down the foul line, while the two men ad- ‘wanced a base Strauss pounded out peatly placed single and both men scored. soemed to rattle Tom Turner, and he t Jack Crooks' easy grounder go through him, advancing Strauss to third. Walsh hit to center, bringing in three runs, In the next three innings the home team braced u in remarkable shape, and by Duke's worl aad E3ely hustling in the field, Omaha was prevented from getting a man beyond first, and only one got that far.

This morning, at 13:20 o’clock, fire was dis- covered in the planing mill and carpenter shop of Charles Simmonds, on South Thirteentn street, near Castellar, An alarm was sent in from box 18, corner of Eleventh and Dorcas streets, Hose comparies 4 and 5 responded, only to find the building enveloped in flames. They directed four streams into the burning structure, but it soon became apparent that they were unequal to the task of subduing the fire. Accordingly, a second alarm was turned in, to which hose company No. 2 and the hook and ladder responded. Streams were then turned upon the bluze from all sides, and even*from the hills en the 'west. Under these torrents, the fire was ex- tinguished. The building was owned by I S. Hascall and is & complete wreck, It was valued at about $1,500. The machinery belonged to Sinunonds, and was valued at about 3,500, This was also destroyed. The mill was stored with lumber and fancy counters and desks ready for shipment. All of these have been burned. The loss to Mr, Sim- monds will aggregate $10,000 at least. The insurance held on the building could not be ascertained. A frame building on the south, and unten- anted, owned by Captain O'Donahoe, as also another on the north side of the burning building were saved by the depart ment with a great deal of work and water. e THE SCOYLTISH RITE.

Nenraska Ciry, Neb., June 13.—[Special to Tnr Bee.]—Since whe Burlington bridge across the river at this point has been com- pleted, there has been considerable dis- cussion as to \whother the structure is en- tirely in this state or liable to assessment in both states. Last year, Otoe county col- locted all the tax; but this year Fremont county, Towa, nssessed half of the structure, at the suegestion, it is said, of the railroad company, which learned that taxes in Towa were not as high as in Nebraska. The structure is undoubtedly all in Nebraska, and the county commissioners, to-day, de- cided to test the matter In the courts. Tho railroad company has been notified to Sppear before the board next Tuesday and show cause why the bridge should not be wholly assessed in Otoe county, and why the valga- tion should not be increased. In this latter respect the company now asserts that the bridge only cost about $100,000, while at the time it was being built they claimed it would coat $1,000,000. ©Ohadron's Contribution to Johnstown CuADRON, Neb., June 18.—[Special Tele- gram to Tup Brrk.]—This evening a special train of seven cars loaded with flour, pota- toes and corn left here for Johnston, Pa.

The snow was ten inches deep, Most of the pariy are laid up to-day with bad colds. On the trip we had fine hunting and fishing, Antelope, deer, elk, and bear were );lumy. and fner trout fishing can not be had, aking everything into consideration, the trip has been a success. We wisited all the oil springs and croppings we could hear of, Retting samples, taking the elevations, run- ning fiuou, and, o fact, taking great pains to define the fields, The writer i3 now enguged in mak- ing & map of the fields, showing as nearly as possible from the different sur- face indications the boundaries of the light and heavy oils; also showing the depths that wells will have to be drilled in order to get the oil. Contrary to reports of there being hundreds of thousands of aagres of oil tarri- tory in the Big Horn basin, by actual sur- veys and estimates there is not to exceed 70,000 acres that can be syccessfully drilled, and some of this would be 2,500 feet drilling. The above lands are owned principally by the No Wood Oil company, 6,400 acres; Big Horn Petroleum Land company, 6,400; Col- lins & Kellogg, 6,400; Casey, Coles & Co., 80,0005 Conant & Co., 5,000, and small own" ers, 16,000 acres, ‘ We find the Big Horn basin oil lighter and nearer resembling the Bradford and Alle- xh\m,v oils than any other oils i the different olds we have examined. Next to this comes the salt basin. The balance we find isa heavy, lubricating,tarry substance,very much resembling what is called “Berea” in Cali- fornia. @ been very careful, and pre. served saw) of oils from the aifferent springs, aud shall send them, together with maps, to the New York, Bradford and Ou City oil exchanges. There will also bea map and saw, at the Arcade botel, Omaha. A. A. RICUARDSON, N Chandler Made Caucus Nominee, Coxcoun, N. H., June 13.—To-night W.

Fifth Annual Commencement Exer- cises—~The Graduntes. The fifth annual commencement .of Belle- vue college took place yesterday morning. A word or two as to the history of this insti- tution will probably not come amiss. It stands on a commanding bluff, just west of the ancient hamlet of Believue, and from its lofty tower a magnificent bird's-eye view of the surrounding country, with a long reach of the beautiful Missouri valley, is obtained. 1t is a sweet, pastoral spot, well calculated for the purposes to which it has been adapted. The college itself, an imposing brick structure, was erected by H. T. Clarke, and donated to the synod of Nebraska. It is three stories in beight, ornamented with & towering turret or observatory, and stands on the very apex of Elk hill, the sito ot the grave of old Chief Logan, of the Omaha nation. The college building affords accommoda- tions for threo hundred students or more, with spacious study and recitation rooms. The foundation for an excellent library has already been laid, including works of general literature, and a full catalogue of text-books. The regular course of study embraces art, musie, modern languages, English language, literature and history, ancient languages, history, mathematics, natural science, men- tal and moral sciences. The college is situ- ated as above described, a trifle over nine miles from the city, and is in a flourishing and growing condition. The college hall was soon crowded with spectators, this morning, and promptly at half-vast 10 o'clock the exercises opened with an invocation by Rey. Dr. Lewis. Misses Henderson aud Lodge performed a piano_duett, from Rossini, which was re- ceived with rapturous applause. Following this delightful overture came recitations by Bessie Burtsch, Anna Vastler and Bertie Brownley, all of whom acquitted themselves with exceeding credit. ‘The quartette, Messrs. Palmer, Mitchell Lyman and Kratz, sang ‘‘Kathleen Avorn’ with good effect, and were liberally ap- plauded. An_essay of cousiderable strength was read by E. ¥. Stauffer, on “The Triumph of Steam,” while that of David Vastler, ‘“The LElements of Success,” was equally merito- rious. “Welcome Pretty Primrose,” another num- ber by the quartette, was much enjoyed. Succeeding this melodious interlude was a brilliant oration by James B. Miller, when the musical contest on the piano forte, with Misses Emma Wright, Blanche Davies, Vera Kayser and Helen Lodge as contestants, was announced. Miss Wright's selection was the “‘Heather Rose,” and, while prettily oxe- cuted, she lacked force and brilliance, “Dreams of Happiness,” by Blanche Davies, was sweetly rendered and evoked an out- burstofapplause, *‘Chant Du Berger,” from M. de Colus, by Vera Kayser, was a brillant vformance, as was also the “‘Serenade do Don Pasquole,”’ by Helen Lodge. The graduating class consisted of but three members—Rufus J. Paddock, of Tekama, Milton E, Lewis, Lincoln, and W. Roland Williams, Omaha. Mr. Paddock’s oration, ‘‘Washington and the Constitution,"” was a fine production and impressively delivered. ‘The utle of Mr. Williams' oration was Mohe Minister,” and Mr. Lewis' “The Greek Bard,” and both showed careful thought in their composition, and were de- livered with much oratorical force. Each one of the graduates was fairly uverwhelmed with floral tributes, and their proud, beam- ing faces told that the occasion was one of almost suprewe happiness. A post-graduate course has been arranged at this coliege, by which those who have graduated at any regular coliege may cons tinuo their studies for the higher degrees in any of the above departmments, either as a resident or non-resident student. Rev. P. 8. Davies, of Missouri Valley, delivered a lengthy' address to the post- graduates on ‘‘John Calvin, His Influence on iilel‘ulura and Civil and FEcclesiastical Society Throughout the Worla,” The presentation of the diplomas by Rev, F. S. Blayney, president of the college, was an unusually impressive feature,. tho re- marks of the reverend gentlomen being par- ticularly timely and feticitous, and at the close he was applauded to the echo. The following prizes were awarded : Prizes for deolamations, iessie Burch first, and David Vastler second. On essays, David Vastlor. On music, Helen Lady first, and Blanche Davies second. Latin lavguage and literature, Blanche Davis. Greek language and literature, C. A. Mitchell, Avcient and modern history, W. L, Bur- goss. Natural science, J. B. Miller. Mathematics, A, Matehell. e AMUS EMENTS, The first production of Duncan B. Harri- son's play, the *‘Paymaster,” scored a suc- cess at the Boyd last night. The audience was enthusiastic, and all of the stronger scenes of the play were warmly appreciated, Like all Irish pieces, the *‘Paymaster” re- quires olaborate sotting. It Is characterized also by loftiness of intention and devotion to duty. Unlike most Irish plays, its events are grouped about the barracks, and all male porformers are wearers of red coats. This s & departure pot entirely original, but nev- ertheless is very acceptable, The story is told 1o a simple, convected manner, and with the exception of a few scenes whero propriety is sacrificed for effect, the recital 18 very wéll carried out. The ladies in the cust were especially worthy of commenda- tion, Miss Douglas excelling as Mra, Helen O'Conanor. John T, ard a8 Larry O'8 rien enlivened the piece with much wit an d drollery, Neli O'Brien as R. E. O'Con- ner bhas not yet mastered his part, but when he does he will be equal to its demands.

DARK, DINGY AND DANGEROUS. Bogun Forty Years Ago, It is Now Very Sadly Out of Date and Deoldedly Shaky — The Record's Home. A Now Builaing Needed. WasmiNGToN, June 13.—|Special to Tms Bre.|—Very determined offorts will be mac in congress this winter to bring about the construction of a new building for tho gove ernment printing ofice. The inconvenience and loss of time aggregate more every year, togothor with tho 5,000 paid for storage, than the interest on the money for an entire ly new establishment. The present building was constructed before the war, is four stories in height, about 850x200 feet on the ground, has narrow windo is dark and dingy, unhealthful and unsafe, As announced by the dispatches a fow days ago, the building is so sbaky that orders have been issued forbidding the removal of heavy packages from one part of tho struc- ture to another. The govornment has never built an entirely new structure for the gov- ernment printing office. It has been put to- gether by piece-meal. Away back in the fifties the government printing was done by Cornelius Wendell, who put up the nucleus for the present government printing office by getting together a lot of old material and constructing a building by sections. It wue finally discovered that there was so much corruption in the contracts for brinting that the government bought the plant, and ap- pointed John 1. Defrees public printer, For some years after the government undertook to conduct its own printing, the congres- sional debates were published by a private coneern in a paper known as “The Congres- sional Globe,” which in 1873 was transferred to the government p: its name _changed gressional Record.” government now undertakes to all of fts printing except postage stamps, stamped envelopes, and money order blanks. The government printing office is the largest printing establishment in the world. It has over twenty-five hundred regular em- ployes. There are in the press room, includ- ing the branches in the various departments, about a bundred presses, and 550 men and women are employed in the press room alope. In the binding and folding rooms there are over one thousand employes, ‘There are nearly seven hundred compositors and laborers in tho composing room. All but the presses are on the three upper floors, and if these should give way the crush and loss of life would be beyond description. Had Mr. M. D. Helm been appointed government printer—and a great many of the oldest and most influential men in con- gress and Washington believed he would be ap to the last day before the appointment was made—he would have recommended t congress some vory radical changes in the government printing office by which botter work would have beon done, more of It turned out, and undoubtedly & saving made 0 the treasury. In a talk today with Mr. . Helm about the needs of the oftice he said: “If the government intends to continue doing its own printing, 8 new and modern building is an absolute necessity. The building now in use is unfit for the purpose in every way, besides being a daily menace 10 the lives of the 2,500 employés and to millions of dollars worth of public property. The office should be thoroughly reor- ganized from the ground up. Its present or- ganization isthe growth of thirty years, and many of the methods are antiquated. By the adoption of new methods in connection with a convenient building and modern ma- chinery, thosands of dollars could be an- nually saved the government. No branch of the public service is in a worse condition to- day than the public printing. Notwithstand- Ing the claims of the different public prin- ters that the work in the office is up, or nearly up to date, the fact is that it is years benind. Many documents ordered by con- ress to be printed years ago, have never yet geen printed, and for many wmore onlg a }}or- tion of the copies have been furnished. The amount of printing will be largely increased during the present and next year, because of the immense nuwnber of blanks and pub- lications that will be ordered for the eleventh census. It wilbe a physical impossibility, with the present facilities for the public printer to do the amount of printing that ‘will be required of him in the next twelve months. “The absoiute necessitics of the case de- mand & new and commodious building, & codifications of the laws relating to public printing, a thorough reorganization of the office, and the adoption of new methods and more modern machinery, Unless these re- quisites are provided the government would Detter stop doing its own printing. By an intelligent codification of the laws at once - thousands of dollars " an- nually can be saved to the government in stopping the printing of tons of useless mat— ter, No branch of the public service affords a better field for reform than the publio printing. Much of the fault is with con- gress itself. Printing is ordered indiscrimi- nately, and without regard to, or knowledge of, its utility or cost. A concerted action on the part of the joint committeo on printing and the spuplic “printer could bring about a salutory change in this respect. Much printing that is now done in the government printing oftice should not be done at all, and more should not be done by the government but by private parties. The abuses have kept pace with the growth of the country, the reforms have not. “I notice by the newspapers that the com- mittee on printing and the public printer, ac- companied by the arohitect of the capitol, made & trip through tiie office tho other day, with a view of doing something to increase the safety of the building. It is high time. The building—n combination of barn and brewery—has been a death trap for twenty vears.. Itis not only a perfect tinder-bo: but has been in constant danger of collap ing utterly and destroyimng hundreds of lives and an immense arount of property. The investigation disclosed some startling things. For {nstance, while tho committes was in the bindery a truck loaded with bound books was being hauled ucross the floor, resulting in a wanifest vibration of the building. aThe arcnitect was asked how much welght could be safoly hauld acros the floor in the truck., Aftey an hlvcllll;- tion he said the danger point would be 2,000 pounds, After the committee had gone the truck was weighed snd 1t was found that ite load weighed 15,000 poundg-over seven times what the architect claimed was safe. Yet just such loads are hauled scores of times every day in the year. In the composing room a table loaded with type in pages was pointed out. ‘The architect was asked now much the table could hoid with safety. He put tne dangor point at two tons, Yet the table at that very time was found to be weighed down with five tons. Mither the architect has no correct idea of what is the danger point, or elsa th government is guilty of !emllln of its 2,500 employes in v manner, Lt shoul the investigation meas i f to the immediate strengthening of the bullding where it is the wealest, But by 80 doing it Is being made absoluvely unfit for the transaction of business in it.” SALT LAKE CITY, A Now Resori—Electric Road—Boat Olub—FPersonals.
