An hour passed in waiting, half as long listening to the monotonous voice of the clerk reading the minutes of the last meet ing, and the county board was assembled, ready for work. The secretary was instructed to cancel taxes on lots 3 and 4, the new postofiice biocis, the same being church propérty. J. N.

The bill was cut to §1,322.92, the difference repre- senting the rental valuo of the jail for the verioa named, and allowed a8 recommended by the finance committee.

The court martial at Fort Omaha promisss to develop one of the most sensational smndals that has ever been known in militaseircles. An officer high in rwwl says that twenty- five years’ expericncesias not been suficient to store his knowledgwwith nformation of any uffair quite so disgeceful. “Judging from whatkhave learned, there must have been n presmcerted plan formu- lated to drive Colonel Wletcher out of the army. As usual, thero-is & woman at the bottom of it all. If wesucceed in getting her hero to testify, mark ny word, you may look or some startling revdations. This woman is no_other personage than Mrs. NeFarland, Col. Flotchet's sisterin-law. We have let- ters showing that her character for three years past hus not boen like that of Crsar's wife. Two years agotnis summer she was the chief cause of an escapade at Atlantio City, in which her husband both threatened and attempted to shoo: a St. Louis traveling man named_Clayton, vho was then paying the lady undue attentisn, Since that time Mrs.farland’s conduct has been, if anything, mor reckless. Sho was here last spring soverd weeks visiting Mrs. Flotcher and havitg an extremly gay time with some of the handsome young of- flcers at the fort. Alnoest any one of half a dozen licutenants ou; there could, if he would, unfold a rich_md racy story abou her. 1t is not unlikelythat ahe will be asked when placed on the winess stand to discloso many tete-a-tete incideits that certain par- ties, deeply interested, would much prefer to have kept secret, but the probabilitics are that she will discreetly decline to betray con- fidences. “Mrs, McFarland wis present when Dr. Hendorson assaulted Colonel Fletcher, and in many ways express:d her approval of the act. That day she cane down town, and in various places of busiess gave to listening crowds of eagerly attntive clerks and shop- pers graphic accoutts of the eruption, She told to any and every one who consented to hear it, how brually the colonel had treated her dear siter; what an insanely jealous man he was; the many times ho had outrageously abusel his wife for no just cause whatever, and a whole catalogue of other varied and dvers inhumane acts. Iuv was Mrs, McFarlaml who insisted on Mrs. Fletcher bundling her effects and leaving for Philadelphia. “Now the Colonsl is, apparently, basing all hopes of the case on the anticipution that Mrs. McFarland wit be forced to come on from her home in ths east and go before the court martial.” E.

There is no longer any doubt concerning the proposed eastern cutlet of the Union Pa- cific through the building of a line to be known as the Sioux City & Northwestern, an exclusive annouacement of which was made in Bk several duys ago. Late yoster- day afternoou a reporter was admitted to the private compartments of a well known rail- way official, and was shown a profile of the survey of the new road, which, though eighty miles in length, furnishes the Union Pacitic_dircet connection with the sweamship lines, and also with the C Puacitic. Mystery surrounds the projc a8 who is at’ the back of it is concerned ‘ihe interested partics have been narrowed down to three. The first, that it is bauked by the Manitoba; the second, by the Union cific; the third, by the Paciiic Short Lin e company, better known as the Sioux City & i Tvis vresumed, aslight knowiedge of the facts connected with the deal, that the Union.

DECORATING 1TS Quarters Hung With vided HOUSES. Plotures, Pro- With Modern Accom- modations and Parterres of Home=Raised Flowers. Men of Nerve. The Omaha fire department is a thing of beauty—in places—and a joy for twelve months of the yoar. The fact that it wasn’t intended that the preseut force should cover more than three- fourths of the territory it actually does cover, adds something to the luste Chief Galligan recently informed a reporter for Tik Bek that the uppar- atus used by the department is all of new and approved patterns—the very best in use, The most pressing needs of the d rtment are new fire stations and a sulvage corps. Of the former, there should be three more. The locs ity most in need of such astation is Wal- nut Hill, which is only reached after a long, laborious walk. Horses cannot haul the heavy machines at a faster pace up the steep incline. As set forth a few days ago, 80,000 people in Omaha without suffi- cient fire protection. However, few great losses by fire occur, because the boys feel that much is expected from them, and exercise extra vigilance. A salvage corps, in the opinion of the chief, “is not o much needed in Omaha asin Kansas City, St. Paul and other cities, because theroare few fires of consequence here. Quick work prevents that. But once ina while asalvage corps would be a nice lhmg Lu have in the family. Ior instance,” says the chief, “when Polack’s clothing store burned asalvage corps would have made the lo 00 instead of $17.000. Kansas City hasa corps of seven men. The expense is not vory uuat and when o man w sulvage corps he wints it N wants o llent disci- phine_ to Which his mon. hiva boon aibe jected redunces fire losses to: the minimum, so that a great many people think the corpsis not an immediute necessity. In some eastern citivs and western, too, the insurance companic maintain a corps. Here in Omaka tl have several times talked of such a thing, but never did anything further. There is o great deal of romance about and within a fire house, especiully one of the older ones. But the boys don’t like to talk about the past very much. The romances are very likely to have a tragedy in them, and to memories that are anything but pleus- ant for the narrator. In many other ways, too, these places have an interest for the average reader. Of course, it would be natur: understood, that men are duty, e: s they may get from a rather conservative bourd of commissioners. That ¥, a fireman on duty is subject to ecall at any time during the day or night, soven dnys a Now, in view of ihat the artment is covering more territory than an equal number of men elsewhere, and consequently is subject to calls oftcner than should be the case, it might be thought that they would' find 1o timeto keep the houses tidy, to make repairs and read. But they do. and do mu uny other things which would surprise “the average reader.” ‘Who would credit the boys of No. 1 with either the inclination or abily climb the ridge-pole of a burning house like a trapeze performer, and to opers a pinno, Kept in excellent trim in their own house with equal fucility and grace.

And the half-faded likenesses on the wall nn- not mute. They are more expr far 1n the light of duty performed tlm.n any human tongue. One September night in 1878 these men went out to answer u call for help. The Grank Pacific hotel was in flames, They ‘were volunteers, young, strong and brave to a fault. . Human lives were in danger. Ladders were hoisted to windows, There was a crash, A ¢ went up from the crowd that the walls had fallen on some fircmen in the building. The crowd below waiting, waiting, every slowly ascending figure Several days later, among the ruins, the charred fragments of four human bodies—MeNamar: Wilson, Rockfelt and Randall—were removed., Oh, the glory of such a death! Never in sopg or in story have their heroic deeds been heralded, but in the hearts of their comrades their noble cxample i rished, and their memory loved ered, ife of a fireman is usually com- mon-place; not so his death, if 1t be at the post of duty.

Now they have climbed to the roof and the windows are cireled about with & pretuy mass of clinging vines and PAGES. | zreon lonves, dotted closely with varie colored blossoms. In the circled and octagonal beds be- low are the rich golden yellow of the marigolds, the ungainly phlox, remind- ing one as 1t stands alono among the flowers, of a tall, gawky country lad just arrived among the city youths at a big school. It is long, lauk, top-heavy; sort of run to ears and eyes, like the country boy again. The pansies nnd mignonettes, the elysiums clustered about the feet of the first named, astors not yet in bloom, verbenas in job lots and assorted col- ors, geraniums and balsams; gaudy, sensuous pinks, tho cold sturdy cactus, and the dainty, dimity, be- whiskered pansics, What a profusion of loveliness, to be sure! And to think that Captain Crowley could be 8o versa- tile! He is aman of great strength, but he can pluck the tiniest flower with all the tender geace of a woman.
