William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, arrived in Omaha yesterdsy morning and is stopping at the Murray hotel. Mr. Kellogg left home last spring and went 0 Eurove, where he sojourned about five months, He returned recently and is most enthusiastic on what ho predicts as the great- est era of prosperity, growth and commercial development the United States has over ex- perienced. He said: “Much of my time ¥as passed in London and Paris with frequent short journeys to different places of interest on the continent: “There are many things to interest one on that side of the water, but they have no such possibilities as America, Since returning I have visited Washington aud Chicago, where some of my property interests are located, and 1 say to you wo are on the eve of & _gon: eral boom, and éspecially in real estate. i found at Chicago that property had advanced wonderfully since my last_visit, and seems 1o be steadily increasing.” 1t what the dealers call inside property or outlaying districts?" “The greatest dewand secms to be for acre lots located in the very suburbs. In- side property has reached such a figure that only those who want to make permanent im- provements thereon for business purposes are buging it. About the same condition of affairs exists at Washington.” *To what do you attribuie this anti prosperity ! *Well, there are a number of substantial causes, While money is rather close at pres- ent, thore is plenty of it sceking investmout and times are bound to be easy. 1 think our legislutures next winter wilt show a liberal disposition in the matter of appropriations for public improvements, there is sure to be a loosening of the surplus and we are in just the right condition to take advantage of a few years of internal _ prosperi rthermore,” continued Mr. K “there is great depreciation in the demands by the monied people, for stocks and bonds, and they are turning their attention to - vestments more likely to appreciate in value, Recent changes in tho general com- plexion of railroad matters has had much to do with bringing about this condition of affairs, The reckless building of so many new lines where they were not neeced, adverse legisiation and tho inter-state commierce law, have so completely checked wild speculation and siut off the watering of stock that capital, wasted in that sort of business a few years ago is now heid to more conservative chaunels, “Ior twelve mouths 1 nave been predict- ing to some of my friends in Washington, New York and eisewhero, that ufter thy year and up to ould have the great- est era of growthand general prosperity this country has ever s .

Mr. Rees explained the amendment by saying that the rules provided that tie principal be relieved one hour each for the purpose of wspection, but the first and second grades are dismissed half an hour before the other grades, and this gives the principal the opportunity to insvect the other rooms. ‘I'ne amendment was laid r under the rules.

Cross, & printer who is well known i Omaha. The shooting occurred in Thomas' saloon on Cut-Off 1sland which is known as the “Green Front.” It is considered a very tough joint and_has been the scene of sev- eral desperate fights. Cross was seen in Liis room over a saloon across the road from Thomas'yesterday after- noon. e was not sufferiug much pain, but realized fuily what a narrow escape he had experienced. ‘The bullet was a thirty-cight-calibre. It entered the left unper chest just below the collar bone and passed clear through his Had it struck a shade lower it would have caused instant death. As it is, Cross will suffor for some time, but will eventually recover. I liave only been, bick to Omaha about o 5, said Cross, “acd was taking a little n with my old friend, E. L. Beagle, who is also a priuter, and who conducts this house. Another printer named Al Wilson aud myself got tired of loating around Hea- glo's placo all day, and about 5 o'clock last evening strollea over to Thomas' plac Wilson apd 1 both treated, and Thomas the asked us to have 'a drink with him. I sad I didn't care for any more beer and called for a cigar. Paul didu't seem to like this very well, but gave we the cigar.
