Democracy was on its mettie yesterday, and certain differences of opinion regarding nominees for county officers came near re- sulting in blows, in a Broadway cigar store.

Another huut has been arranged for to-morrow morning, to take place south of the Uhion P’acific railrond tracks and ‘west to Luke Manawa. here are numbers of wolves in that locality, and a very success- ful chase is anticipated.. It is stated that the city council, board of county supervisors and township trustees are jointly planning to expend considerable money in improving the roads into the city from the surrounding country, through the bluffs. In bad weather many of these roads are almost impassible, and thewr improve- ment is imperative, Several of the grades are steep and must bo cut down. 1t is esti- mated that the cost of the proposed improve- ments will aggregate $20,000. A union meeting will be beld byterian church Sunday evening at o'clock in the interest of Sunday school work in Pottawattamie couaty.

Stevenson, as- pistant superintendent of the American Sun- day School union for the northwestern dis- trict, will deliver an address on_ his visit to the world's Sunday school convention. A fair sized audiemce witnessed the pre- sentation of ““The Stowaway” at Dobany's last evening. The play was too much on the blood-and-thunder order to suit the average theatre-goer, althougn certain features were liberally applauded. The presentation was rather of a disappointment, but this waus be- cause the popular expectation had been raised 00 high for a production of this character, The safo blowing act was decidedly tame, and the audienco failed to enthuse as it might have done, A business meeting of the was called av their room, No. 302 Merriam bloclk, at 4:30 yesterday afterncon, for the purpose of ar- ranging for the reception to be given there by them this evening, Owing to the stormy weather, there were not sufficient mombers present to constitute a quorum, and little was done, besides talking over the matter and arranging some of the minor details, All the friends of the organization are invited to attend the reception this evening at the headquarters in the Merriam block. 1t 18 stated on the authority of the secre tary of the board of trade and several other: who are in a position to know, that tho plans for the new union depot are now being pre- pared by a Boston firm, which makes a specialty of this stylo of 'architecture, and will be submitted to the railroad managers ata meeting soon 1o be held in Chicago. The committee feels greatly encouraged over tho outlook, and states that the prospects for the speedy ercction of the desired structure i much more promising than it has ever been before. The report in some of the papers that the caso of the State vs Kissel, for highway robbery, had been dismissed, is without foundation, I'he case bas been continued until next term, and the defendant released on $00 bonds, furnished by his father and Benry DeLong. Kissel was indicted jointly Wwith Chacles Smith, who is now serving a term at Fort Madison for the affair, for rob- ing a purty of Danes of $15 on Plerce streot. The witnesses are in Omaha, and as much difculty is experienced 1o getting them be- fore the court, it is bardly probavle that Kissel will be convicted. . ‘The Pullman restaurant, 534 Broadway. - Dwelling for sale on easy payments, Also building lots at lowoest market prices, Call and examine our list.

NO NEW TRIALS ARE GRANTED And Judge Macy Sends the Orimi- nals Over the Road. LOCATING THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. The Coancil Planning For a Better and More Satisfactory Distribu- tion of the Tluminating Arcs— General and Personal Notes. Booked For the Pen. The north court room of the county court house was filled to overflowing yesterday morning at the hour set for opening of court. It was the day'set for sentencing criminals convicted this term, as well as for ruling on the motions for new trials argued and sub- mitted during the past two days. A little ripple of excitement ran through the specta- tors when the court announced that no new trials would be granted. In speaking of the Brooks case he stated that he sat up late Wednesday night looking over authorities and examining the evidence, but had not boen abie to find anything that would lead him to think that the defendant had not been accorded a fair and impartial trial, which re- sulted in his conviction. Ho thereforo re- fused to grant a new trial. The same ruling was made in the chses of State vs Melntosh and State vs Feurhauker. When Brooks was called up for sentence, and was asked the customary question whether or not ue had anything to suy why once of the court should not be pro- d upon him, he coolly and uncon- cernedly replied that he had ' not, and evea when the sentence that ‘you be taken to the penitentiary at Fort Madison and there con~ fined at hard labor for the remaioder of your lite” fell upon his cars he betrayed no fee ing, but quietly took his seat, while his fel- 10w prisoners regarded him' with looks of mingled curjosity’ and wonder. The r of the court to grant him & new trial was ap- parently expected. In ruling upon the case Judge Macy stated that while he did not mean to criticise tie action of the jury, he was of the opinion that murder in the second degree or manslaugh- ter would have been a verdict quite in ac- cordance with the evidence. He did not say that the jury made a mistake, and said that s opinion was simply that of one ngaiust twelve, and it was quite possible that he was mistaken, Colonel Dailey, Brooks' attorney, says that he is satisfied. “He does not want another trial now, as he would have to try it again in November, when all the witnesses would be here, and thinks that the situation is bet- ter for his client as it 1s. He will appeal the case, and has secured an order for the exten- sion of the evidence to this end, and e presses the utmost confidence that the case will be reversed and sent back, which will bring it up for trial again next year, James Mclntosh was cailed for and stepped to the front to receive his seatence for ob- taming property under false pretenses. After lecturing the prisoner quite severely the court advised him to *“‘make up his mind that when he was released from the peni- tentiary he would dissolve partnership with whisky and become what some folks call a cranky probibitionist, cutting loose from all former associates.” He then sentenced him to one year at ort Madison. W. H. Leouard, the alleg who passed a forged bank che the B tele house in payment for board, was given fiftcen months in the pen, ““I'he crime of whicli you have been con= victed,” said the court, “may be punishod very severely under the statutes, ‘The limit is fifteen years in the penitentiary.” After delivering quite a lengthy lecture, the sen- tence was inflicted as above stated. “Bet your life, 1thought I was zoing to get it in the neck,” remarked Leonard a few mo- ments later, as_the sheriff and his deputies were taking the prisoners back to jail. “When the judge said that the limit was fif- teen years, ‘1 just made up my miud that he was going to cut it square’in two in the middle, and send me up for just seven years and a balf. When he said fifteen months I wanted to holler, but I guess that's long enough anyway.” George Feurbanken was sentenced to two years in the pen for receiving property stolen Trom freight cars in the Nortwestern yards. His attorney, Colonel D. B. Dailey, made an earnest plea for a fine and jail sentence, stat- ing that the prisoner’s health was such that he could not live long on prison fare. The cout® took a scrutinizing glance at Feuchan- ken’s 250 pounds of avoirdupois, as he sat in the rear of his attorney, and evidently con- cluded that he was not in danger of immedi- ate dissolution, for he proceeded to 1mpose tho sentence and fix the appeal bond at $1,000. The prisoner’s attorney gave notice of an ap- peal, and the necessary bond was filed. Sylvester Smith Evéland, who was found guilty of obtaining money under false pre- tenses, by mortgaging property which did not belong to him, was given ninety daya in the county jail. This concluded the list of criminals to be sentenced, and the trial of the rape case of State v Omeg was then resumed, Juror J. S. Davis having returned from Fairview, vhere he was called to attend the fu- neral of his mother. The defense continued the introduction of its evidence until court adjourned, and will submi: the last of it this morning, The case will go to the jury to-duy. traveling man New Ogden, largest and best hotel in western Iowa.

The work of locating the new arc lights for city lighting under the new contract is now progressing as rapidly as was expected, At the meeting of the council Monday evening it was decided that the council should meet @8 a committee of tne whole and go out soveral evenings this week to look over the ground and determine where the new lights shall be located. It was thought that the better plan would be to devote one evening to each ward, and the committee accordingly started out Tuesday eveniug to look over the Fourth ward, Tue trip was not a complete ove, and the committee did not decide how many lights would ba required there, or where it would be best to have them located, It was thought best to remove the towers on Broadway and place them in the suburbs, It was decided that two could be placed to good advantage in the southern and western part of the city, one at the corner of I'wenty. first street and Fifth aveuue, and the other at the corner of Twenty-third street and Avenue B, The committee then came to the conclusion that Kairmount park would be a fine location for another towér, and dis- cussed the question of removing one tower to that place, provided the park commission- ers would agree to pay for the lights. It was not then known, however, what a kick there would be against moving any of the towers from their present location. It begins to look as if we would have to et the towers alone, and put up some nDew ones,” said Alderman Lacy yesterday, ‘‘Just 85 8000 @8 We begin to talk 0f moving any of them the folks begin w0 kick. The folks 1a the upper part of the city say that they would rather have that wwer at the corner of Pierce and Frank streets than any amount of low lights . The mayor and I looked over the ground, sud found that itweuly low lighta In that locality would pot do the work of that tower with its four lights. There are not 80 many large shade trees in that end of the city, and the light from the tower 18 thrown upon the streets instead of on tho treo tops s in some other localities, The citizens are greatly in fayor of tho tow. ers, and there will be very decided opposi: tion to moving any of them. It may be that we will have to get two or three new towers, a8 there is no_question but that they are tha things for the outskirtsor thinly settled portions of the city. We wi'l have to put in ow lichts where the towers fail to work well on account of the shade. Tho business streets will have 10 have a low light every block, and we will extend them as far as they will go.

McCormick and Secretary O. Braudt, of the Omaha base ball asso- ciation,. leave this mormmng for Minne- apolis, to attend the anuual meeting of the Waestern base ball association, As Tug Bee has mentioned on divers occa- s1o0s, the meeting is one that will be fraught with much interest to western baso ball patrons, and startling developments are not improbable. The elec- tion of officers will be part of the business transacted, but not much contention is anticipated 1 this matter, Mr. MeCormick will be re-elected president, and Sam Morton, if he wants it, secretary and treasurer. Jim Hart, of the past scasou’s Bostons, and Quinn, of Milwaukee, are both pulling for the position, but_as neither is as desirable, all their eftorts will go for naught. ‘The most_important feature of the meet- ing will be the stupendous task of making up next year's circuit. As yet it is not ' definitely known just what course Des Moines and St. Joe will bursue. They may both refuse to b uncere- moniously “dumped,” and 1f the association insists, may carry the matter into the courts. Not the least doubt exists but that the effort will be made 1o oust them both, inasmuch as Detroit, Toledo, Duluth and Oskosh are all applicants for admission, and any of these four are highly preferable to either of the two first named. A clearer understanding of the relations between the Western association and the National league and American association is another ~matter the western direct- ors will endeavor to get at. The national agreement and all its com- plex phases will 5e_ exhaustively dis- cussed and an appeal made to the committee on arbitration for justice in the deai of Chi- cago and Boston by which they claim pos- session of Omaba’s star trio, Nichols, Nagle and Cooney. Little hope, however, is seen glimmering through the foggy atmosphere in this subplication for the Omaha club. They have irrevocably lost at least two of these players. Another matter to be attended to is the appointing of the regular committees, and the discussion of the rules, andso it will be seen that the Western base ball moguls are in for much thrilling work during their com- ing convention, Arthur Says He Can't.

The Newer Wesr, Sarr Lake Crry, Utab? Oct. 21.—[Cor- respondence of Tme Bes.)-—~This morniog found us on the plains beyond Laramie, somewhore near Lookout station, with the mountains in the distance and Elk mountain standing boldly out with the clouds covering the suramit. For two hours and upwards tho train moved on in Ws winding course, until nearing Fort Steels, we loft the great mountain behind, after a ride ot seventy-five miles in its company, From the railroad the distance seemed but an hour's journey. Tne atmosphere was 8o clear one could distinctly trace the markiugs of the storms ot centu- ries on its sides. Durlog a wakeful hour in the early morning Cheyenne, with its elec- tric lights, came into view. Here were first visible the great changes in THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST in the past twenty years, which has elicited universal astonishment av the grow th of tne trans-Missouri region. It secms but yesterday when this thriving and beautiful city was the home of the pio- neer, the brave man who was pushing his way “iuto the unknown,” confident of the successful issue of his labor and suffering— in the work of spanning the continent and binding the east and the west together for- ever, on the highway of the worid, with Omaba as the leading eity of a domain vast and imperial in its resources. Hero dwelt the desperado, ‘‘and Vice walked tho streets with unblushing front. Here, too, lived at the fort neav by, that handsome and ill-fated soldier, Carling, and that otaer soldier, a white ‘robed warrior, Rev. Joseph Cook, aided, encouraged and sustained by another gentle spirit, Rev, Dr. Scott. Theso men were like beacon lights in the surrounding spiritual darkness, and more than one home- less wanderer feit the tear come uubidden n they told of love and home and ven, In that carly day the church accommoda- tions of Cheyenne were small. The little school house served a three-fold purpose. It was a school during the weck, an Episcopal church on Sunday morning and a Metho- dist church at night Rev. Mr. Cook officiated in the morning and the docter in the evening. From that modest structure sprang St. Mark's Epis- copul church, and the Methodist church of Cheyenne. I know not if these good men are still alive. Peace to their gentle spirits wherever they may be. Looking from the cac window one conld almost sce the old frame building, where we had to sleep on the floor or anywhere we could, and the old tent with its elaborate bili of fave of ‘‘roast beef” or *‘roast pork,” where we dined in the “dignity'* of free-born American citizens. - In fact without the “dignity” there was little clse. Out of the aarkness, almost within a stone's throw it seemed, one could fancy he heard the groans of Charley Martin when ho yielded up his wayward lite, ON THAT DEEADFUL NIGHT the vigilantes caught and hung him, but a short distunce from the old frame warchouse mear the depot. But this has changed, and one looking at the fine depot of the Union Pacific and the solid business blocks near it would never supposo such scenes were ever enucted in this beauti- ful, prosperous city. Martin met a fearful fate, but it puritied Cheyenue. In crossing the plains patches of water were visibie all the way while the daylight lasted, and in ono’ place a solitary antelope was galloping away. This was all the game [saw, with the ception of two rabbits, whero years ago the country abounded with numerous herds of antelope and elk, Like the buffalo they have disappeared. F'rom lookout to Green River we pass the most wilfully abandoned section of the country. It isthe general opinion that it is an irreclaimable desert. It has been asserted time and again that it never rains here, yet all the way from Vercy to KEvanston there were showers, and where there was _ nono as the train passed, standing pools of water and mud showed there bhad been a short time before. In slandering this country, advantage has beon taken to induce settlements away from he line of the Union Pacific, the alkali spots along the road giving forco o the assertion. It is only a few years since this charge was rung in Nebraska, as far east as Lexington— then Plum Creek-—that the couatry being full of alkal streams, stock would drink the water and die. This has long since BEEN LAUGHED DOWY, and the existence of 433,000 horses, and 1,- 600,000 head of cattle now in Nebraska proves the charge a lie. As for Wyoming, 108,000 horses, aud 1,115,000 head of cattle, will soon prove the charge equally baseless in this territory. Another proof is the numerous herds grazing in Wyoming along the Union Pacifie, whero the® sage brush is thickest, As for the conntry being a barren wilder- ness, the statement is also untrue. Because there is nothing gréwn is not the fault of nature, but of the people. At convenient distances are the Laramie, the Platte Green river, Harris' Fork, Black's Fork, the Wcber, Bear and Jordan rivers, where the water can be used to fertilize the land. In addition to these are numerous creeks, When man gets ready to use these to reclaim the country, the soil will yield abundantly. The large brush,now more abundant than nineteen years ago, demonstrates thesoil is capable of producing something. Many m the sage brush can be replaced by alfalfa, As to the soil, a good deal is rocky and un- fit for agricultural purposes. In other places itis gravelly, but the greater part of the valleys along the road appear to bo of a sandy character—-in all probability sunilar to what it would be 1y Nebraska without water to make it productive. In the driesy places the courses of the streams are dis- tinetly marked, winding, as they do in Iowa and Nebraska, but at this scason of the year the streams are dry. How to recluim this land is a mighty prob- lem, mighty, because 1t will bring more than half = the United States into use for agricultural purposses. Some pro- pose artesian wells others irrigating ditches and reservoirs for the storage of water, at an expenditure of millions of dollars on the part of the general wovernment., But in this irrigation seems itn practicable, so far as the high lands are concerned. They would remain barren forever for want of water to make them fertile. In these days of stéam is there not a sim- pler way; that is by PIPING, TIIE COUNTRY adjoining the principle streams, with pump- g works at convenient intervals, to pump the water into pipes wherever laid, and then tapping them wherever water is wanted to irrigate the land, in short on the same plan that water is supplied to consumers in the Citie In this way high and low lands can be cultivated alike and reservoirs will be a uscless appendage. T' do not know the cost of such a system, bukat any rate it will not equal that of the one proposed in the use of reservoirs, ete. If oil can be successfully piped for hundreds of miles, why cannot the same success be had with water. One pipe can be sufficient.Mor many miles of Jand. Besides, the streams orossing the Uaion Pacific are so frequent it seems that every piece of laud capable of production between Laramie and Ogden can be brought under cultivation by the presentand future generations. In many places these streams are 50 numerous that pumping works will be unnecessary, as the ancient system of irri- gating canals and ditches will be suficient. Fort Steele, now abandoned by the govern- ment, is aboul seventy wmiles from the coal oil regions of Wyomng, 1f some company will build a pipe line from that section, and erect pumping works to pump the oil to the station and then refine it there, the problem of getting the ofl to market will be solved, & large town will spriog up on the Union Pa- cific at that point, and the Platte river will furnish abundance of water for other mau- fuacturing enterprises locating there, Rawlins is a prosperous lookiug place. It has the Union Pacific shops, a bank, some stone fronts and Dresents a neat appearance from the train.

Last winter, with its phenomenally mild weather, that enabled men to wear Spring and Autumn Clothing during hie rigors of December and January, 1eft on the hands of manufacturers, jobbers aud retailers an immense quantity of winter goods. Mauufacturers made unusual preparations last year to meet the increasigg demand that had been treated by the several excessively sevore winters that had proceded it, and the rosult was an extraordinary overplus of all grades of clothing. In spite of this s This season manufacturers woere compelled to sell at prices far below those fi acrifice of all profits, they roached the scason of 1839-90 with stocks but od for last year. igntly diminished, for the roason that the bulk of last season’s purchases remained in the hands of retailers throughout the country, who wers unable to buy new stocks.
