Knowing her happy married relations, the listener was puzzled and asked, “What's the matter now? Fred seems to me to be the most devoted husband 1 Omaha.” ® "'Oh,it isu't that, you know. The trouble is this: When I was marricd { couldu't even cook a viece of toast properly. Of course I was awfully anxious to have my home the nicest place on earth for Fred, s0 1 went to father and told him I would like to go to the cooking school and learn to cook and keep house. I wanted to keep it a secret from Fred and surprise him with the dainty little dishes I would prepare for him. Father told me to go ahead, and that he would keep the secrev and provide for everythine. 1 made the cutest white cook’s cap and apron and went to the school. All the girls i our set were there, and we just had the joliiest vimes, Well, I learned how to make tea biscuit, and made a lovely batch at the school one afternoon. Of course the teachor helped me some. 1 hurried home that eve- ning and thought [ would maxe some for tea, as Fred is very fond of them, “When he came home I smd to him, ‘Pred, I have made some tea biscuit for you this evening, are you not glad “Fred laughed, and said he guessed he was; coula teil me better after tea; wasn't that'horrid? The biscuits looked just splen- did when 1 put them on the table, all white av the sides and brown on top. Fred took one. and pretending to be clumsy, dropped it. 1t fell on the floor like a canuonball, and I just burst out crving. ““ired had gone ont in the yard just be- fore tea and gol . big Stone, ‘and when he pretended to drop the biscuit be droppea the stone.

Ho had tric funny and repeat that old “chestnut,” thav's what you call it, isn't it, in the *“lin Sol- dier? I didn’t try to cook anything more for awhile, The next thing T learned to cook was an apple pic. 1 didn't say anything to IFred about it this time, but cooked one, und it looked_just splendid ‘on top, Fred took a piece at dinner, but just scooped out the ap- pies und left the crusts; they were awfull} ’ tougl, 1 must say. “The next morning when I came down to breakfast I found a verse on my plate, writ- ten by Fred,” and she produced the fol- owin, $0Ob, we made us a pie On our stomachs to try And the sceptics all 1o convince; O, it laid us out cold, This apple-pio bold, Aud we haven't made any more suice,” “Now, wasn't that mean in bim!

Sugges- tions have airoady bedn made to give him a publio reception on his arrival in the oity.

ONE OF NATURE'S NOBLE MEN. COhavlain McCabe's High Words raise for Bishop Newman. Oxama, Sent. 25.—To the Editor of Tug Bre: I was surprised in pussing through Omaba to read a disrespectful allusion to Isishop John P, Newman in the columas of tae Republican, The great “Methodist world” vays very little attention to what the daily apers say of its puplic mon, but it 15 cor- taiuly to be desired that the citizens of Omaha of other dgnominations and the old soldiers of no denomination, should kuow what sort of a man has/comé to make his home with them by order of the general con- ference. I have such a,great Bishop Newman personally that | ask permission to say @ fow things about hun which will illustrate his char- acter. ‘The - Republican speaks of the gitt of Senator Stuuford for tho sermon de- livered by the bishop avthe funeral obsequiss of the senator’s son. If it had been $100,000 instead of £10,000 it aould all have gone for the benevolent work of the church or to help some poor peeple in the stiuggles of their lives. His generosity knows no bounds. 1 could fill this columun with broofs of that statement. I have known him to give $10.000 to one cause, and Nebraska is unconsciously shar.ng the benefit of it to-day. Blended with his generosity and loving kindness, with which his heart is always aglow, 18 n courage 50 lion like as to call from an iliustrions geucral now in nigh pos tiou in the government this encomium, He said: *“Phe bravest man I over saw is John P.

One night an attompt, was made to enter tho houss, but it was frus- trated by the watehful coard which the gon- eral commanding had piaced round his home unknown to the doctor, . Right in those stormy days he secured the secrots, passwordsand onths of the Knights of the White Cameliaand published them in his littlo, paper, tho Southwestern Christian Advooate. There was not n scenlar editor in_Louisiana who dared to do such a thing. Bishop Newman is a preacher of tho gos- pol.

Judged by any standard which has ever been applied to public affairs, even by clergymen, the proposition of a single tax on land values is verfectly sonable, moral, and honorablé, says Thomas G. Shearman in the Forum. As to the' amount of such tax, that is & question to be decided by a wise expediency. Crushed by the duke of Argyll, refuted by Mr. Mallock, extinguished by Mayor Hewitt, undermined by Mr, 1d- ward Aticinson, exploded by Mr. Har- ris, excommunicated by Archbishop Corrigan, consigned to eternal damni- tion by countless doctors of divinity, put outside the pale of the constitution by numborless logal pundits, waved out of existence by a miilion Podsnaps, and finally annihilated by Mr. George Gunton, still Henry George's theories seon to have a miraculous facuity of rising from thedead. For it is certain that his general doctrines are more widely believed in to-day than ever be- fore; while the one practical mensure which be advocates for present and im- mediate enactment is accepted by a vast number of intelligent men on both sides of the Atluntic. The remedy provosed by Henry George for the evils of our present social condition, the only practical measure which he asks to have adopted to-duy, is medy, an adeguate remedy and a just remedy. The criticisms of his adversaries have heen directed to mere side issues, to his minor arguments, to his intel- lectual proc . to his illustra- tions, to anything except the renl pith of the matter in hand. Not onc of them has really wrestled with the problem; not one of them (except Mr. Atkinson) has been even approximately correst in his statistics; not one of theim has fail 10 commit mistakes in his reasoning and his calculations far more ser thun any which can be fastened upon Henry George. a.\‘nh- Vere sionary 8oc place on Frid The Jewish began o co.—Make & delicate spouge wold; P'ako 0 the top Iced ( cake and bake in & deep, square make frozen custard. of the cake and take out the center, leaving the bottom und sides an inch thick.

THE BROTHERHOOD'S CHIEF. The Meeting of the Union Pacific Dircotory—Depression in the G Market—How He Failod Catch No. 8, Eto, Sidney Dilton. Aftor an absence of five years, Hon, Sid- ney Dillon, who at thehead of the New York contingent, onco controlled the Union Pacific, arrived in Omaha Tnursday afternoon. The well known magnate has crossod tho morid- tan of life. His locks are bleached and his tall form has lost its perpendicularity. But he is yet active, and dovotes his timo, as usual, to securing the almighty doilar. When Mr. Dillon visited Omaha five years ago he was the presidentof the Union Pacifie. But his faction was overpowered, and he was relegated tho rear ranks. He is a heavy stocknolder in the company and a direotor, but he has 1ost his prestige, and, it is said, that Mr. Amoes regards it as a mattor of cour- tesy when ho consults him concerning im- portant steps to be taken by the com- pany. An individual who olaims to have some knowledee of the feeling between Ames and Dilion said concernug statements made by the Jatter in a recent interyiew published in Tre 13 I think that Mr. Dilion was sincere when he said he knew nothing of the Fort Worth deal, the union depot project and such things. The fact is that Ames and Adams ignoro him cutirely. ‘They aro backed by noarly three fourths of the directors, and can run through any move they may desire without his support. KEverybody knows that when Dillon was in power he poured hot lead mto the Amoes element every tuno an ¢ r- tunity presented itself. He was unsciupu- lous, ovorbearing and vindictive, The Ames clement little expected any favors from his haad, and received but few. Nearly every ro- quest was ignored, and, when it was not, was accompanied by unreasonablo delay. 'Now. things are just the opposite, and Mr. Dillon can appreciate the difference between being crowned and crownless. He is being paid back in the same coin, and every denomina- tion of it is up to the standard in weigot. ‘The fact that Ditlon kuows nothing of the Fort Worth deal does not surprise me in the least. If Ames decides to carry out this move he can do 50 without Dillon's support or sanction.” ain to Two woeks from Wednesday next tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engincers will meot at Denver for tho purpose of electing officors for the ensuing year, and also for the urpose ot considering the pian of federution of railway omployes and the Kuights of Labor. The meeting promises to be interesting, owing to the fact that there will bo two vowerful factions, one favoring federation, the other opposed 10 it. The former will be headed by George Vro- wman, of North Platte, Neb., who is chairman of the grievance committee involving the engineers on the entire Union Pacific system; the latter will bo marshaled by 1. M. Arthur, the present chief of the brother- hood. Vroman 18 astaunch advocate of fed- eration; Arthur is just the reverse, The former believes that the interests of uli rail- wiy employes can best be subserved by com- bining the strongth of eacu ordeg, and b reducing fctions to one solid body; the latter is of the opinion that the brotherhiood, within itself, is sufliciently strong to uphold its rights. With this wide difference of opinion u clash is incvitable. Some of the members fear that unless an Amalgsmation is effected there will be sphit in_the ranks. Ivis generally conceded that Vroman will enter the convention with the entire su portof all members west of the vissouri river. Whlo this will bo of material mo- ment, it will yev represent a minority, and if Arthur bo fortunate enough to hold the wstern factions together, he will have a strong working majority. When the ques- tion us 10 who_would succeed Arthur first came up, the line was drawn largely on the residence of tho agpirants; but, smco the Union Pacific emploves umalgamated, the bone of contention 1s federation or no foder tion. Vroman is regarded a strong man. his constituency feels confident thit ho be elevated to the chiefship. e Owing to the depreSsion in tho grain mar- ket but, little of this commodity is being moved at the present time. An attache of the Omuba grain company states that not only is the market weak and inactive in tue principal parts, but that rates are compara- vvely high, and that unless a change of some kind is mo rmers of Nebraska, as a rule, have signified their intention to' hold thew products for beiter prices. 1¥ is thought that the expont crob in corn alono will reach about 17,000.000 bushels, and per- haps more. ‘The shipment of suall grain will be fully as heavy us last year. and the quality wili, it is thought, grade strong No. 3 ally meoting with ment in their pi Some people are_cont misfortune and _disanpoi grimage through life. The other day an_inaividual ca buge carpetsack staiked into the union pot and turning to Colonel Hackett, who pre- sides over the news stand, inquired: “Vot time dos dot naxt drain go vest?” Colonel Hackett consulted the depot chronometer and then his own *key-winder,” anl in- formed the inquisitor vifat No. 8'would de part in about twenty-five minutes, The old entleman deposited his outiit 1u the door way and sat down in an adjacent cavity awaiting the arrival of No. 8.

The platform was soon thronged with people, ull endeavoring to muke the vrain. ‘The'old gentle: hitched onte his carpetpag and meande along the rusty planks towards the engine, He surveyed the machine carefully, and then withdrew to the waiting room, taking upa standa as be fore in close proximity to tho doorwa; Allaboard ! shouted the conductor. **All aboard for Columbus, a Island, North Platte, Cheycnne, Laramie, Denvor, Ogd and all points west,” cried out Depot Oficer Chamberlain.

At this time, Chairman Finloy slapped on the tine pre soribed, $100, on both companies, “for fiagrantly violating tho passenger Lariff ou through business.” Mr. Mellen claimed that inasmuch @s his road main tained its proportion of the through rate it was not subject 1o @ fine, and protested agamst the enforce- ment of the chairman’s ruling. The Union Pacific appealed o Chairman Walker, who has as you fuiled to make an open ruling i the case, but in a roundabout way sustained Chairman Finley, Swce that time harmony xtont in the meetings of the association, aud it is stated that the matter may culminate in the Union Pacific refusing o recognize Chairman fipley in the premises. Mr. Mellen has already placed himself on recurd as huy- ing the belief that Finley hus no autho:ty to make or unmake rates, and that as far as the Union Pacific is coucerned, he will not be permitted to do so. ‘Those of the railway officials who have known Mr. Mellen for & long time state that Le is an angel in time of pence, but a whole regiment in time of war, and, should the chairmaa of the Trans: Souri association persist in making ary enarcachwonts, he will encounter a Sodan and w Waterloo. = B Mr. L. 8.

Following is tho address of Hon. C. H. Van Wyck at tho corner-stono laying of the Noble Sewing Machine factory at Weeping Water, Sentember #3: e Now und then in the universe is planted a spou fitted by its natural boauty and udvan- tages for tho greatest enjoyment. in heathon mythology they wore reservod for the gods, and were invested with wonderful revela- tions and marvelous churms and mysteries, On this continont the lndinns were always lineal descendents of the heathen wods, and such 8pots woro for their hubitations, and they were also invested with wonderful inoi« dents, and thus wie Indian and the bhunting ground pussed into history. And Weeping Water was fuli of beuuty, of postry, of tens der passion, of bold courage, before the white man crossod 1ts waters or wazed npon it skios, Here avold tribe pitchod its tent. dian history is complete or worthy consider= ation without & neroine. angelic after the world of Indian un g nd a lover, pathotio and devoted, won through the customary formality of asking the old man's consent, with the implied understanding then,as now, that the consent was of vo importance, for in any event the miden wis to be obtained. S0 in that case tho old ohief, as white par- ents, stolidly rofused. 1ut when the lover found the beautiful creature bathing her graceful limbs in the limpid stream “On which the south winds scarcely break The image of tho sky,’ he threw hier gently over his shouldera. She, balf consenting, bounded us a deer for his tribe, farther Wowards the selting sun. The old Ludian had no trouoles about the markets for corn und wheat, raising, feedine and selling catule for loss than_cost, or still more perplexing, 1o be vexad with questions of political philosophy’; bow overproduction should bere bo so wreat that cattlo lose their value, while the price is so high to tho consumers that th uily sufferiug from under-consumpiio one’ of these things vexed the red man. Yeu ho was not happy. His soul was kindled with rage. With his warriors he pursued the daring lover with the usual result that he and his braves were left on the floid. And when the sad-oyed waidens sallica forth, wondering why the braves came not back again to their humble homes, bemoaning night and day, moistening the ground with their tears, und the soil in sympathy welling up crystal springs, send- ing forth the stream which has kept their memory green and preserving tho name they gave it—Weeping Water. ‘The nutural beauty stll remains while time has wrought great chauges.
