THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:~WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1889, THE KAW'S COMMERCIAL ME, | Kansas Olty's Reprosentatives Re- celved in Omaha. ON A LIGHTNING MOTOR. A Drive Throngh the Oity Which was Greatly Admired by all the Participants — the Banquot — Homeward Bound. Kansas City's Representatives, The special train conveying th e Kansas City Cotameroial olub arrived in this city yester- day afternoon at:45 over the Northwestern from Sioux City. 'The organization ison a tour of inspection of the several cities of the northiwest, and is composed of leading and representative citizens and business men. It isthe only commercial organization in Kansas* City and is vigorous, effective and invaluable to the businoss inter- ests of the city. Inasmuch as many of Kansas City’s prominent business men had never visited St. Paul, Minneapolis, Sioux City or Omaha, the club resolved upon this excursion, which was ostensibly for the purpose’ of getting ncquainted with the live people of those cities as well as of recreation. The special train which bore them con- sistod of vestibule slecpers ‘‘Pennsyl- vania Limited” cars, the handsomest in the world; one baggage car and a diner in charge of General Passenger Agent A Dawes, of tho Kansas Ciyy, St foo & Council Bluffs, of St. Joe, J. H. Hyland, general freight agent of the Milwaukeo, and J. H. Veitch, left Kansas City on last Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock. Since that time they have visited the citics above men- tioned und have been hospitably entertained n every place. They have been also most Pavorably .mpressed by every thing they in- spected, The party on its arrival atthe Broadway @epot of the Northwestern in Council Bluffs was met by W. N. Nason, secretary of the Omahu beard of trade, and a number of other members. He had & special train of three motor cars, to which the party was transferred, The train was set in motion and at the rato of about fifteen miles an hour was brought to this city and stopped at the Mil- lard hotel, where the party registered. They were there mer by a large delegation of Owaha's leadingcitzens and merchants, and many most satisfactory acquaintances were forme io guests were escorted to the dining room, where a light repast was spread, to which the visitors did ample justice. o'clock twenty carriages drew up in front of the Miilard, They brought the escort committee of the board of trade, con- sisting of the following members: Messrs, Chase, Evans, Johnson, Stephenson, Pundt, Koster, Nattinger, lor, Heimrod, O'Con- nor, Goodman, Parker, Barthwick, Thomas, Davis, Rector and Weller, The managiog committee consisted of Euclid Martin, president of the board; W. N. Nuson, secrotary, and Max Meyer. The gucsts were escorted to the carriages gnd driven south on Thirteenth to Farnam, g:ul the chamber of ‘commerce to Tue Bee uilding. Here the visitors made a stop, entered the ptructure and ascended in the elevators to the higher stories. They were cordially wel- comed by the editor, Mr. E. Rosewater, and Bhown through the various floors and depart- ments of the building. The greatest desire was evinced to visit the editorial floors and the great court. On the former, the rooms devoted to the editorial and reportorial de- partments were visited, each making ox- Pressions of surprise and commendation as the wize, light, furnishing and design at- tracted attention. Then in succession were yisited the marble aud iron composing room and tho stereotyping department, both of which acted as a_revelation to nearly all the excursionists. Then was visited the grand court, its white walls in glistening purity and beauty ascending from the beautiful tiled floor to the dizzy height of the mosque- like dome of glass. Such & newspaper build- ing the guests had never seen, and the effect, upon the Kaunsas City people will not soon be forgotten. ‘The carriages were again taken. The de- lighted party sped north to Kountze Place, thence west to Saunders, to Cuming, Twen- tieth, Dodge, ‘Twenty-fourth, Thirty-ninth, Leavenworth, past Hanscom park, thence nor worth, Sixteenth, Harnoy, leventh, Jack- son, enth. Haruey, Ninth, Capitol av and Thirteenth street to the Millard, where the party disembarked. In this arive the line did not leave a paved street and did not drive over one-fifth of Omaha's paved avea. Yet the drive occupied two hours and thirty minutes, aud in it were scen every kind of residence, business house and manufactory ‘which Omaha's enterprise und the industry of its citizens can afford. Lowering clouds, wever, caused the ride to be shortened, nt the unseen features of Omaha’s energy and industry are withheld till another visit. The gontlemen wero amazed over what thoy saw and the ladies were simply delighted. The party is as follows: C. D. Axman, fAxman & Goldenberg, clothiora; A i Bul ard, insurrnce; W. B.

The table was prettily decorated with ferns and flowers, interspersed with pyramids of fruit and fancy cakes. An elaborate menu of six courses, including wines, was served and ample justice was done to it by all present. This ceremony ocoupied the time until about 10 p. m, when Mr, Max Meyer lled the company 'to order and in a few mlcl rewarks welcomed the guests to Omaha, He thon introduced Colonel Chase, ‘who said that the eity had taken a bath in the afternoon iu order to appear before the wisitors in the best light. He then al- Juded brieflv to the visit of the Com- mercial club to Minueapolis aud St. Paul, sud sald they had no doubt learned seue walnable lessons in those cities and would,no doubt, learn still wore from Omaha. The subject of the coming] congress of nations at Washington was also touchod upon and it importance urged. L. E. Irwin, prosident of fthe Commarcial club, was next called upon and responded briofly. Addresses were also _made by Messers. G, M. Hitehcook, Major William Warner, Ed- ward Rosewater, Colonol A. G. Payne, of Kansas City, John Evans, Colonel A. C. Dawes, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad ; Kilpatrick and_J. M. Patterson, president of the Kansas City council. After the addresses were completed Colonel Dawes, on behalf of the Burlington road, invited the Omaha board of trade to visit Kansas City and St. Joseph, and ten- dered the free use of a special train for that purpose. The company then dispersed and the visitors at once started for the depot to take their train, which loft at 11:30 p, m. aha Impressed Thom. ors were more than favora- bly impressed with Omaha is assured in the many expressions heard from them regard- ing the o Vory fow of them had ever before been here, consequently it was har for them to real and admit, too, that this beautiful metropolis rivals their own, and promises to surpass it. Colonel Carney, the pioneer citizon of Kansas City, said notning had ever sarprised him so much as Omaha. I was here cighteen years ago," he continued, “and only by sceing it with my own eyes conld I ever be made to beliove that the growth in that time had been what it is. Your handsomely paved stroets, large fine buildings and general ap- pearance beats any of the towns we have visited.” Colonel Carney wont to Kans City in 13 and _has been living there ever since, He built the bridge at thut point in 1365, and, speaking of the mat- ter, said: **That gavo us our first impetus and we’ have continued to grow right along. " Other members of the party had consider- able to say, Some of their utterances were taken down by BEE reporters and are given A, I Bullard—The business stroets are very fine. E. Irwin, president of the Commercial —Omaha is o marvelous city and has an cellent future. I am surprised at the growth, character of business buildings, and streets. H. H. Shephard—I was here seven years ago: therefore you ean easily imagine that the improvement made since then 18 a_sur- prise to me. That Ber building took my eye, It 18 a_ wonderful structure, and the court in 1t is the finest thing of the kind I ever saw. G, W. Fuller—Omaha is more of & town than I expected to sce. Its streets surpass anything we have in Kansas Ci W. H. Craig—Outside of Kausas City, Omaha is the best town of its size 1 Aw ica, C. J. Piper—T admire the business portion very much, and youn stroets are very much betfer paved than any we have seen. Gentry, of the National Bank of ce—I am surprised and pleased. The city impresses me very favorably. You have a greater number of large and fine business buildings than 1 exvected to see. J.J. Swofford—Omaha is a much better and bigger town than I had supposed. 0. V. Wilson—Your paving system is the Dest in the United States. Lam perfectly de- lighted with the city. J. J. Green, broker—Omaha has a mark of stability about her that is cnviable, Its growth, no doubt, has been more or less hamp ed owing to its situation from a rail- way standpoint, but it must be admitted that it has taken steps, in its line of advance- ment, that are simply marvelous. I noticed that you have an abundance of paved streots, s well as numerous imposing business blocks, and, as for Tie B bullding, I don't know as its equal can be found 5 I read several accounts of Tk Br building, but will say that a person must see it in oraet to comprehiend its splendor and maguitud W. B, Clark, president of the Merchants' National bank — No wonder, with paved streets, a complete system of street railw: mammoth business’ blocks, aud such cyi- dences of enterprise, that the bonds of Omaha are strong in financial circles, You have truly a great city here, and enterprise crops out of even ' the mowsboys' oyes. I maace a complete tour of Tne Bex building, and it is certamly a model. It is a great structure, and ond which reflects with credit upon the energ; fronted with such a big competitc though we are ahead, we are bLeing c close. M. Deardorft, whols chant—I declared that w City I would not return until T made a tour of Tui Bee bullding. Yes, I wanted to see Omaha, too, but so much has peen said in the papers down home about the new Bre building that I was suxious to ses it. I have gratified my desire, and can say that it is the tinest building 1 ever caught sight of. Its interior is worthy of an artist’s brush. In fact there are numerous business blocks in Omaba that give a forecast of the future of From a general point of view 1 at Omaba 18 making rapid strides in the business world. J. M. Patterson, president of the city coun- cil—I can say to our people when 1 get back that they have a sister on the north that they should be proud of, if not look to with an eye of fear, 1 will tell them her name is Omaha, and that her site is dotted with large buildings, and her streets are thronged with pedestrians. And that on an incline over- looking the beawtiful surroundings is the palatial home of Tae Osmana Bes. Tob- served, as I was being wheeled through the city, that your streets are - well paved, and, as a rule, are wide; that the drainage was complete in every respect, and that every- thing appearea us if done in the right w. and at the proper time. Like Kansas City, Omaha has made great advancements during the past ten years, aund both cities are now rivals of Chicago, W. A. Webster, banker—The state of Ne- braska should look with an eye of admiration cn Tk OMAA BEE and its' great bive. [ wus desirous of reaching home as soon as possible, but I do not regret the loss of the time I put in inspecting Tue Ber building. 1 am also highly pleased with the general lay of things in Omaha. You have business blucks hera that equal, if not surpass, any- thing in the west, and your euterprise 13 openly manifested in more ways than one, Kansas City is a great place, but we, down there, must admit that we have a rival in Ouwaba that needs watching, SORE EYES AMONG CAPTLE. An Authority Attributes the Trouble to Heat and Flies. Omana, July 15.—To the Editor of Tus Bee.—Having had some experience with cat- tle afilicted with sore eyes or blindness dur- ing the summer months, [ desire to state to the readers of Tue Bex my opinion as to the probable cause of this so-called “disease among Council Bluffs cawtle, In the first place, let me say the diseaseis not confined to Council Bluffs alone, since] have ob- served a uumber of cows both in Douglas and Washington counties of this stato sim- ilarly afilicted, not ouly this year but last year also, After close observation of this difioulty, I am thoroughly convinced that tho trouble is caused by oxcessive heat, and the constant irritation of the eyes by the tlies during the hot summer days. Durinj the montns of July and August of last y had a number of cows that for Lwo or three weeks were almost blind in both eyes and part of the time totally blind in one eye, ana 1 uoticed also the more the eye became iu- flamed the more the flies annoyed the cow; and as the days grow cooler and tho flies less numerous the cows invariably grew better and finally recovered theiwr eye-sight. | do nou think the disease is contagious for this reason: During last sumuer und this I have pustured and yarded a few cows badly af- flicted with sore eyes with mauy cows that were not troubled with tuis aisease after be- ing exposed o it. Doubtiess there are wmore cases of this kind among the cows that are herded on the Council Hluffs bottows than the cattle herded on the Nebraska Lills or on the bot- toms on the Omaba side of the river, and Lho Cause seews quite apparent Lo me since tho flies are moro numerous on the bottoms than on the highlauds, the heat more in- tense, und the shaae and shelter from the ravages of those miserable pests, less plenti- ful than on the Omaha side of the river.

Pleasures Piled on Pleasurc's Head Until Sight Seeing Becomes a Labor and the Weary Eyo 18 Surfeited. Gath in Parls. At first view Paris seems to have no exhibition at all. You see the same crowds in the city. possibly more peo- ple than in midsummer, but no more than are usual to cool Parisian June, and if your hotel has marked its prices above the rate of former years, it from cool, mercenary extortion, the na- tional business vice of Frenchmen. How much risk they will incur to get \f a franc move than has already en- ched them! At my little lodging house, in a cen- tral situation, rates moved up about 75 cents & day, writes “‘Gath” in the Cin- cinnati Enquirer. For this 75 cents the ancient people who keep it will risk all their lives following: Chamber, $1.60 a duy, third floor; morning coffee id bread and butter, 80 cents; 11 o'clock breakfast, with half a bottle of cred raising, called wine, 65 cents; dinner in courres, with the same 1nno- cent decoction, 85 cents. Total, say .50, Call it $4a day, and then con- sider that youare in Puris,and mean to live out of doors, this total will ve one- half to one-third of what you will need to_spend. I never saw as many beggars as infest this city now; they hég everywhere,and uot from need, but from a natural pas- sion to acquire from the stranger. The woman who shows you a seat at a then- tro after you have paid for it, publiely begs witl u loud voice for sundry sous the youfz miss who keeps the Boule water closet asks for a gift to re her romantic youth and pur- if younska “citizen” a question strect,he will wind up his answer ing: “And now will monsiour e to remember me by a gift?” Can people who will beg for pleasure’s suke be republicans? Hardly, in our under- standing, and yet, human nature is so wide, that possibly the beggar might have an imperial soul. This is an wrepressible race, and is not to be judged by the incr of cen- sus only. The Duke of Wellington,who saw them well whipped in 1814, heard the allied monarchs and their ministers debate the dissolution of France by dividing it up and blotting out the name of such a people. He told thewm that it would not doj that Europe could never go to sleep with France thus pun- ished; the national egotism would be- coma & chronic brigand. I see, wherever I look, the signs of a race of su NERVOUS REPLENISHMENTS as will long be formidable, and it is also the most republican, or rather demo- cratic, society in Burope, and alway has been. [t was democratic under the historic tyrants; the voice of the popu- lnco has subdued its kings far back in days of Philip Augustusand Charles thing 1 to be popular to be ¢, even the massacre of the ots or the murdor of the Arm . And it was the monarch and h nd foreign wife, at last, who were cred to the scaffold by trade men and mechane: Hore lies in France a great quantity of electrified depth and height, possib still the greatest of mixed races in spite of their insulavity. They surely could roam if they wanted to: but their land is such a magnet that they return to 1t like needles to a loadstone. May we not bewace of too favored aland, too pleasurable a ci tion? This city so unlike the strict life we lead in America that Isometimes think I amin antiquity—among the Philistines, A ians, Moors or Bagdad people—as 1 e the playful, restless thousands, the sam WHICH DANTE D] JRIBED as the devourers of Italy and wrath of God or satan upon the christin era. Without Paris, what are they? and with it, what can they be to themselves? Abroad a Frenchmau is lost; at home, restored to his language and life, the same individual become like n bla ck- suake revived after the winter’s torpor. It is in the gregurious life that the French reveal their mighty intensity. Then the “Marsellaise” is like them: “‘Come son of France, and on to glory.” When we consider that there was 1o united British kingdom till from 1 to 1800, that Germany is not uited yet, nor Scandinavia, and that Italy was but of yesterday, the concrete force of Franch, which is at st 900 years old as @ solid s y, having made Hugh Capet king in 987, may be slightl ceived. The demerits of the French vo well understood, and yet why does Alsace pine for France,when its mothe| rmany, has ouly reclaimed it? Ple ures need make no excuses. The Jew is the cosmopolitan, and what Jew dis- likes France? Not even their strong- est man, Samson, would LEAVE TMIS DELILAH. He would rather leave his hair I hegan to speak of the exhibition. It is talked of by some as a failure. I have seen the exhibition here of 1867, the London exhibition of 1862, the Ameri- can @ xhibition of 1876. This is the greatest exhibition I have ever seon in all general and excossive respects. It aris which surrounds it what the quarters of the Templars were in Paris about the year 13l the third part of the city, and so rich in treasures that the Parisians decoyed the Tem- plars within their city walls to rob them of their treasure: So the tickets to the exposition have been decoyed to the Paris Bourse, and thereby millions speculated in till they are for sale at from ten to fifteen cents apiece. The exhibition is really one-fourth of the extent of that part of Pa in size which the gay world frequents; it comes nearly up to the quarter of the Tuller- ies; it seems to tuke in a mile of the Seine front. The first day of seeing it is lilke the work of an angel examining the th, or an Arab looting the whole army’s eamp. nless you study your chart it will seem to you an endless mass of palaces and” prodigalities, fountains of vast size, art works sown like facades of glorious buildings made for a day, domes crowded with statues of glories and trumpeters, art works within the halls of NEARLY CRIMINAL PROFUSION and after all this there lies another world of industry awnd cool, calm trade in the side aisles of the dragon, like the lakes of still water on either side of the whirlpool, I took five hours the first day and merely saw the French sculp- ture and paintings, and was s tired that for three days more I did not go at all, Pleasure becomes & labor when thus built mountain high, and the pur- suit of excellence an appetite of glut- wny. The Eiffel tower is the show here, and is a great ascendible andiron, o four-footed candelabra, under whose legs, I should thinky you could set the capitol at Washington, barely making the ioddoss of libegty at the top stoop her head. It was tho straddle of Mme. Eiffel which bewildered me. Hor shaft or tower was mefely a 600-foot truss bridge stood on end snd BALANCED AMONG THE CLOUDS, on the back of an acrobat who had thrown himself on all fours. Butthe four members of the animal which were down kept growing as I moved around and about and saw the big elevator car go ulv the slope of ohe of those legs as slowly ns you see a pair of emigrant wagons o up the Allegheny mountain road, and also saw, with labor. hair pin skeleton men, of the size of carpet tacks, jumping up and down the stops, which were like filament wires in one leg of the tower. There a great multi- tude, with canes and parasols in their hands, were running, living, skipping, and they resembled pictures u) men made with one line of ink against the foolscap sheet of the sky. All parallel images faded away, such as the Druid idols’of sticks, in which a host of human beings were to be buried; or the Collossus of Rhodes, or the cundle of the Washington monument. The vast instep under which I walkoed and saw much of the world weltering there, hundreds abreast, and streets, carringes and every thing, gave me such an idea of mechanical straddle as Vulean never could haa he hit me with his sledge from the sky above. REAL ESTATE SWINDLERS. A Clever Schemo to Fleecs Nebraska Money Lenders. James Stanton, real estate dealer at Petersburg, Neb., arrved in Omaha last night just a few hours too late to catch one ot a pair of sharpers who have been swind- ling the real estate dealers und money loan- ors in Kansas aund this state. Mr. Stanton was selected as a victim by the shavks, but discovered their gamo just in time to save the payment of a $000 loan which he had so- cured for the sharks upon bogus real estate securities. David M, Miller and John Ellis wore the names given by the sharpers. About six weeks ago Miller appeared at Petersburg, reprosenting himself as a moneyed man from Monmouth, 11, He gave Mr. Stanton the numbers of a half section of tand near Petersburg which he claimed to own, and showed & deed inhis favor from the late owner of the property, A. M. Bissell, who was known_to Mr. Stanton. Miller wanted a loan of $0 on the property, and Mr. Stanton ted his application for it. Before the money arrived Mr. Milier re- turned to Des Moines, Ia., and sent his ugent, John_Kllis, to get the 3000, Hllis arrived with the deed and mort- gages drawn up n _ proper shape and usked for tho funds. Mr. Stanton has a lavge bump of caution, and so decided that Miller's letter introducing Ellis was not sufticient, and asked Ellis w0 get a power of attorney. IStlis consented and in a fow days returned armed With @ paper which pur- ported to be a power of attorney to act for Miller and bore the certificate and seal of J. B. Browu, notary public_at Monmouth, 11, The certificate was not_drawn according to the usual formula and Mr. Stanton became suspic He told Eilis to wait until the next afternoon, and ut once telegraphed to Monmonth to know if J. B, Brown was a duly authorized notury. The reply came that no such wan was or had been a notary in that couuty. 'This strengtheved Mr. Stanton’s _ suspicions and, again putting Kllis of & day 'he went to the county seat ut Albion and there learned that Bissell had not sold any land to Miller, and, in fact, that the entire business was i forgery and ' a scheme to ob- 0 from bim under false pretenses. Mr. Stanton returned home at once, but Ellis, having learned of his prospective vic- tim's visit to the county seat, had taken ad- vantags of the opportunity to skip ont. Mr. Stanton me on to Omaha expecting to overtake Illis here and have him arrested, but the wily shark had failed to tarry on Nebraska soil and was presumably among the Hawlkeyes before Mr. Stanton™ reached [ land in lowa, Kansas and Ne i were probably forgeries used i worl nfidence games as he was selected to be the victim of.

In the ovening he wont to The Choice, & saloon in Sarpy county, and while there Gid Zucher, a farmer living near Bellovuo, struck him with a beer glass, cutting a bad gash over tho right oye, and cutting the lower lobo of the left ear and quite a cut diagonally down across the loft side of the neck. A surgeon was summoned, who dressed his wounds and 00k him to his home. Ono story is that the stranger, who aftorwards gave his namo as “Jo, of Pittsburgh,” refused to spar with Zucher aftor others had been sparring, and on being urged by by-standers to siap him to make him spar, Zucher picked up a beer glass and hit ham. Tho other story is that tho stranger was tho aggrossor, abusing Mr. Zugher, and made slurring romarks about Stella ' Thomas, o prostitute whom he took to @& dance at Bellevue, and thoreuvon Zucher hit tho strange Among those present were Gid Zucher, Michaol Hanson and the MoUarty voys. Bo: tween 8 and 4 o'clock the stranger left the doctor's houso, where he had _been taken on the order of Mr. Zucher, who promisod to pay ail bills, aud going down to the saloon opposile tho Aibright depot sat on w beer keg for a few minutes and unobsorved got up und walked off, Observing his absence, a svarch was instituted st once, but no trace of him could bs found. Ono theory, and the most plausible one, is that he went to tho track and got on a west-bound freight train, all of which_stop there, another is that he walked into Mud creek, then overtlowing its banks, and was drowned, and another is that Zucher, who is said to have left his girl and the dance soon after arriving at Bellevue, rewurned and had a hand in getting the man away whom he had abused.
