The various parties interested at the lake realize tne need of telephone counection with the citizens of Omaha and Council Bluffa, and have clubbed together to furnish it. The line will be built by them, and a small fee for connections will be charged. 1t is expected that the line will be used enough to assist very materially in paying for itself, while the convenicnee afforded guests as well as property owners at the lake will be of far greater value than the actual cost of the line. The next move should be to extend the same service to the Chautauqua grounds. E Comumunication with the latter resort is lamentably insufiicient and unsatisfactory. It is true that the grounds are connected with the city by telegraph, but owng to the fact that there is no operator there, this ser- vice amounts to very little. Prof. D. W, McDermid has charge of the matter, and being a very fine operator, although slightly out of practice, he is well able to attend to it were 1t not for the fact that his duties as superintendent of the grounds are constantly culling him in other directions. The present wire to the grounds was put in just before the session opened, and 18 simply & loop run- ning up to the grounds from one of tho 1 wires on the Rock Island. veral aph messages have been received at the city ofiice for parties at the Chautaugua grounds, but as it was impossi- ble to raise the operator there, it was nece: sary to delay their delivery several hours. Telephonic connection is greatly needed, but the telegraph could be made to -mm;lv the deficiency if an operator could be stationed at the office on the grounds during the day to attend to all messares, Thus far, the management has teen so busy getting the rough ends smoothed up, and everythiog in fine running order, that no time has been de- voted to these smailer, yot by no means un- important, details. They will doubtless all be attended to as soon as possible. — ettlement, A lively fracas occurred on Graham ave- nue yest erday afternoon, among some work- men employed in excavating for a couple of new dwellings to be erected by Horace Everett. The difiiculty arose from the fact that Mr, Everett allows parties who owe him to work out the amount of their indebtea. ness. On Friday night, Theodore Batchel- der, who had been working on a contract to cancel a certain indebtedoess, finished the same, and was dischurged to make room for others who wished to work out a debt. Charies Itoberts wasthe only man whose services were retained, and he’ was directed to superintend the work of thenew men, Yesterday afternoon Latchelder aud several of his men appeared and endeavored to pro- voke a quarrel with Roberts. Failing in this they attacked him and beat him se- verely, both with their fists and a club, Roberts was badly bruised aund cul, ana so- cured the servicas of a policeman, who ar- rested the slugg shelder states that Roberts had misr matters to Mr, Roberts, and bad secured his discharge. This is denied by Roberts, who claims that he did not interfere at all. The case will come up for & hew ring Lo-morrow morniug, e Looks Crooked. Considerable surprise was occasioned on the street yesterday by the annonncement that J. 13, Hume, bookkeeper and account- ant for Duquette & Co,, wholesale confec- tioners, was a defaulter to the extent of several thousand dollars. A suspicion that something was wrong has been entertained for some time by Mr. Duquette, but Hume, when questioned, had given very sauisfac- tory explanations, Money did not come in as fast as it sbould bhave doue, and Hume's employers flnnufi decided to have an expert go over the books. Hume was accordingly sent to Silver City on @ business trip and during his absence the investigation was commenced. He returned before the investiflation was cowpleted aud His mothod of proceedure was to raiso an expense bill from $2to $12, and afterward erase the added figure, putting the extra $10 in his pocket. The peculatious covered & period of noarly two * years and in that time he had made many 8¢ entr Attention was first called to Hume's man- ner of living by a neighbor. A new house on Madison street, horse and buggy, stylish othes and numerous other things seomed a > t00 steep for a salary of %30 & month. arrests have been made and it is ro- 1 that the matter will be settled quietly. Hure has given up all his vroperty, but there still remains quite a little balance wgainst him, The defaulting book-keeper and cashier was formerly in the employ of J. R. Snyder, commission merchant, and ort has 1t that a similar difculty occurred there. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago, Hume was knocked down and robbed of nearly $100 just after getting in from a col- lecting trip on the road. The police refused 0 touch theecase at the time, allezing that Hume had undoubtedly convorted the money to his own use, and inflicted a few slight wounds on himself to give color to his story. Recent developments indicate thut the theory was very plausiole. B The Calis to Prayer. Bethany Bi corner of Bluft and Story stres 25 a8 usual at 10:80 a, m. and S p. m. shool av 8 p. m. 5p. m. Rov.

Doubtless this conclusion isin full accord with local conditions. In Kansas, as Prof, Shelton says, milk, peas and other supplies of nitrogenous 0od are not to be thought of —they cost too much to produce. Prof. Shelton does not give an opinion as to what would follow in a section where these foods can be secured. As a matter of fa such an opinion has little to do with the business of the Kunsas furmer, whose object it is to produce all the pork he can at the cheapest possible cost, 1§ is the R, N. Y,’s opinion that the farmer who can establish a reputation for pro= ducing *‘lean” pork will be able to work up a profitable l)uailwxn for that produets We mean pork with a greater propors tion of lean than is found in that sold in the general market. ‘The demand is 1A 16AN Dok, thera aao be o latTRass nying the fact, and it seems evideny that this lean product is to be produced outside of whut is known as *‘the corp belt.”
