THE REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE. Death of T. W, McCarger—-T Chiet of Police Again Puts His Foot in It General and Personal Notes About the City, Reeking Political Capital yme of the councilmen are camping on the hot and smoking trail of the city en- gineer, but the indications are that the latter official, who isnow'in a very strongly for- \itled position, will be several points in the lead at the outcome. At the meeting of the council Mouday evening Aldermun Knepher Jjumped astride the engineer’s neck, figura- tively speaking, and tried to lay him out with some rather astonisning clhinrges, He was backed up by Alderman Waterman, and the two mada it very interesting for u short time. Thealderman charged thatthe engineer did work for private parties and received puy for the same while in the pay of the city, and that he also charged contractors for making estimates for work. Alderman Knepher also stated that he would prefer charges against the engineer at thie next oting of tho council, and hinted darkly that afidavits in support of his position would be forthcoming, Persistent mguiry reveals the fact that the opy on, A8 Lhose opposed to Uity Eogineer Stimson' may be termed, are hasing their charges on’ the statement of u certain contractor, who is now doing work for t . Ho is said w allege that Engineer Stimson demanded 8 of him beforo he would give him an_estimate of work doue, and he paid it, as he had to have the work accopted in order to get the money due on it. He refuses to mdke an affidavit at present, a8 he has a large amount of city work on hand and claims that it he was thus to antagonize the city engineer latter could w 1 financinily by refusing to give him esti- tes and thus condemning his work, Itis intimated by the aldermen who are trying to down the engineer that this afidavit will, however, be forticoming after a while, The engineer demauded an investigation of the affairs of his departmerdt, but tho council as a whole refused to appoint a com- mitteo to investigate until specitic charges were made. The wajority of the aldermen express themselves as satistied with the course of the engineer, and tuke uo stock whatever in the charges against him. — His reputation as & conscientious, honest and upright man, both as & citizen and public official, is widely ‘known, and convincing proof will have to be adduced to shake cou- fidence in nim. He denies baving charged any contractor for making estimates, but mits that he has done work for private parties and has received pay for it. The ordinances give bim thas privilege, and the fees so received are the perquisites of the oftice, This custom has been followed® by all his predecessors, and a change of ordinance canuot go into effect until after the expiration of his term of ofiice. On all strects where public im- provements are ordered the cngineer is re. quired to give all property owners who de- sire 11, the lines and grade, must set stakes, and must also keep a full record, together with maps and plats, open for public inspec- tion in his ofiles In case, however, that the property owner desires to make improvements on streets that have not been ordered to grade, the owner must pay the city engineer oc any other surveyor a reasonable compensation for furnishing him with the desired lines or grades. It is argued thatif all such work had to be done free the city euzineer would require a small army of men as assistants, and they would be kept busy day and night, as every one would want grades or lines for this, that or the other, inasmuch as it did not cost them a cent. Tt would also kill the demand for other surveyors than those em- ploved by the city. 3 It Is admitted that it would be better to have a surveyor do no work other than for the city, provided the city paid u sufficient salary. Omaba follows this plan and pays a city engineer $3,000 u vear, Enginicer Stimson states that he makes a monthly report of all the expenses of his de- partment as provided by ordinance, and that this report show the amount paid to the inspectors and the sewer department, al- though these are distnct and separate branches. Their work is done under his direction, yet these civloyes of the city ure appointed by the council, and are not respon- sible to him. He courts an investigation of the affairs of his department at any time.

Flume: We left Salt Lake City on tne 26th day of April last, torun a preliminary survey for the Union Pacific road through the Great ican desert and into . The ns commenced twenty milessouth- wesg of tho eity and ran tf.mugh Skull valloy, o name given on account of many battles had with the Indians there. Twenty milesof the line brought us to tho banks of the great Salt lake, where the beach for nearly two miles outis nearly lovel and the water at high tide is but six inches deep. At Garfield beach, howeveor, where in_the summer months are found thousands of bathers, it is two feet deep at the shore and increases to forty feet in places. The water is so salty that one can float in it without the least exertion, and fish cannot live in it. The extreme length of the lake is about one hundred miles and its width sixty miles. Our party comprised fourtcen men six horses and two wagons. The feat of engineering attempted was attended by many dangers, and the trip was ono long to be remembered. Whilestill near the lake we met our first ill luck, which was o sand-storm. One of our tents was blown down and we had to take the others down to kesp them from going across the desert ahead of us. We carried our beds to the rocks and made the best of it until morning. Here we found several springs that to theeye looked beautiful and clear as crystal, but were twice as salt as ocean water. Our next camping ground was at Perish Puss, twenty-cight miles west of this, where a party of surveyors was lost eight years ago. Another party made the attempt two years ago, but lost two men before they had got half way, and returned. Ours was the third party to make the ipt. to run a ramlroad survey s the desert, and the only one that ceeded. At this place we found a little water in potholes in the rocks and filled up the batrels. The day after our arrival here we were blest with a heavy rain, which gave a good supply of water and filled up the rocks again. After five days we prepared to move westward, by cutting Jowu on bedding, clothes and utensils, and taiing nothing but what was positively necessary. We moved west twenty-six miles, where sand hills stopped us. Here we camped to bring up the sur- vey line and seek passage through the sand hills, and while here we noticed many strange features of the desolate region. 'lhe hills have a peculi way of changing their position when the Jeast wind i8 stirring. A transit aco dentally left out one quiet night was found the next morning just showing above the top of a newly formed sand hill. Some of these rolling hills are forty feet high and tney cover an area of about twenty square-miles. At the edges we found numerous rattlesnakes, scorpions and lizavds, the latter from four to eighteen inches long, and of a great many different species. They were particularly fond of getting into our beds and one night the cook found a scorpion crawling into his. On N we moved to a point of rocks called Wildeat Mountain, and found some waterlying upon the ground. Although it was white with mud and was very warm, yet it was thankfuliy received. We refilled our barrels at once, us the sun was_drying it up fast, and then commenced in earnest to dig a well, hoping to get some good water to drink. A shout was heard from the man at the shovel when he d got down about five feet. He had struck water, sure enough, but imagine our downecast looks when we found it as salt as brine. So our only hope of getting across the desert alive were those bar- els of muddy water. We estimated that it was forty miles to the .western edge of the desert and nothing but a sea of salt and sand all around us. To look back was worse than to go ahead, for our worn out and half starved teams would never pull us out that way. The heat was at times intense and the lone- liness was oppressive. Not a green spot or tree in sight; only the occasional bones of some animal that had strayed into the desert to die. Some of the party thought the chances were all against us and that we could never get through. One of the teamsters went out in the evening to search for the horses that had wandered off looking for grass. Night coming and he had not returned we got together papers, boxes, and a few cundles, and made o fire. It was fortunate we did so, for he had found the borses and was making offin the op- posite direction when he happened to turn and see the fire. ‘We put the best face upon the mat- ters and occupied two days in bringing up the line to the point at which we had last camped. Ou the third day we were up at dawn, for we had forty miles to mwake and only two days’ suvply of water. Every man seemed to feel that nevve and muscle must pull usthrough, ‘We ran twenty miles of line in eight and olm-t\unrwr hours, and could have gone further, but the teams were played out from pulling through the miry sand. That day we could not spare the water to wash, and as it had been ex- tremely hot our sufferings were in- creased. One man was taken sick from drinking the bad water, but the next morning was acle to ride on. This day we had gono but eleven miles, when the wagons sank down in alkali mud caused by the briny water. We had no recourse but to unload the most of our provisions’and leave them on the desert. By this means we pushed forward, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon reached the Dutch Ilats, an alkali swamp on the western edge of the desert. Here we saw cattle and knew there must be fresh water in the vicinity. Dilligent search finally re- vealed it, and although it was far " from being good, it was better than what we had “been used to. We had what we most needed, a good wash, then supper, and a good rest, feeling that the danger was over, After a two days’ lay up we brought OMAHA DAILY BEE: MAURER'S CHI NAS OP. 340 Broadway Council Bluffs.

The length of the line is 117.87 miles, and if feasible to construct is b far the shortest line to the Pacific coast. On the 1st of June hacked up and started to return to Sait Lake City via the overland staga road which leaves the desert to the mnorth. At Crystal Springs we¢ were told of a short cut called Conklin’s Pas We took 1t but encountered some of the worst roads that man ever set foot on. Going to the summit we had to tie ropesto the wagons to prevent them going in_the canon, which was in place four hun- dred feet straight down. The stepest and longest pitch was the last. Here we hud to unload and carry everything to the summit, six horses being just able to drag up one empty wagon. It took us late in the night to do this, and we luy down tired enough, haying had but three cans of tomatoes for the meals of that day, and no water for the horses that night. The next morning we were londed and started down the other side at 4:30, and by good luck had no trouble with the road. After fourteen miles of travel we came to o ranch where we got food and not water, but milk! the first we had tasted in seven weeks. The next day we made Grantsville, and two days more brought us to Zion.

Mrs. Leland Stanford Talks About Her Plans For the Pupils, Mrs. Leland Stanford gives many facts hitherto unprinted in regard to plans for the new university at Palo Alto. She says the same attention will be given to giris as to boys, and itis her purpose to have an art training school, ike the Cooper institute, where girls who have a taste for designing may secure instruction that will en- able them to earn a good living. If they then wish to study higher art they will have means to support them- selves. ‘The chief axm will be to ground the students in elementary studies and then to give them some practical train- ing by which they may easily support themselves, If then they desire higher training it will be freely given, but the whole spirit of ther institution will be against merely ‘ornamental education, To quote Mrs. Stanford’s words on this point: Y ! “1 think it absolutely cruel to give u young man or woman who must depend upon his or her own exertions for a livelihooa a classical education, pure and simple. There'is scarcely a week that Mr. Stanford is not asked to give employment to graduates of Yale and Harvard. He Has’ six of them as car conductors on the Market street line now, Of course it is no disgrace to them and they will not remain long, but it is pitiful to witnees the help- lessuess of wrongly educated young veople,” \\?hun asked whether any plans had been devised for the association of the sexes, she sai *Yes, indeed. Cot- tages will be built which will accommo- date ubout twenty students each, and these will be in charge of a teacher where the persoual habits, manners and amusements of the students may be under supervision. Every care will be taken to make these cottages homes the best sense of the word, a place where no creed is taugnt, but where the day begins and ends with prayer and where each individual is brought under retlined dicipline. The cottages intended for boys will be about & mile distant from those occupied by the girls, but the evenings wmay be passed together in music or social games in the presence of und with the cousent of the teachers,” “Is it vrue you intend to give paint- ings and curios in your house to the university museum?"” “Quite true, and I am determined there shall be copies of all the old masters added to the collection of paini- ings. Down in my ball room is an exact reproduction of ‘The Lord’s Huppnr.‘ painted by Raphael, which was found during the wars of Napoleon and which hangs in the eathedral of Milan, King Humbert allowed me to have it copied. Through Mr. Pendleton, our re- cent minister to Germany, the young kaiser has given mission to secure a copy of the ine Madonna,’ in Dresden, rese ing only the right to name the I have just given an order to hav work begun.' It is expected that the university will be opened next full. The colleges wilt be providea with ample lecture rooms and the trustees will be required to offer o high salary for wstructors. The bigher courses will be free to post-g uates of all colleges and universities, and to such other deserving porsous as the trustees may elect to admit. e gt Beecham's Pills cure bilious and nervous ills i it oy CLOTHES FOR HORSES. A Humane Society Agent Says They Are as Useful as Men's Garments, ‘It might sound very odd to most peo- plo” when a suggestion is made that orses and stock generally should wear clothes,” said M. P, Key, the agent of the humane society, **but that is one of the innovations that is sure to be reached 1n time. In Norway they now have their cattle graze while covered with Dblankets, yet we in the United States 1gnore such methods of produc- ing good results in the treatment of stock. A cow that has been giving a Tiberal supply of milk during the sum- mer, will continue giving the same quantity is, when the chill airof Janu- ary comes along, she is kept warm, but if that is not done, the supply will fall off. There is a livery stable keeper in this town who declared to me some time ago that he balieved that horses should wear nightshirts, and that they would be just as beneficial to them as they are to men,” ““What are the styles of clothing that you would consider desirable?” *“They shonld be made warm enough t0 keep them comfortable from the time cold weather sets in until it has passed, and should be made to fit the animals for which they are intended. There are few people who raally understand the full meaning of the ideas embraced in the work of the Society for the Pro- vention of Cruelty to Animals, but the public is gradually coming to its reali- zation. **When I took charge of the work here six years ago,” he continued, “there was a general iden that it wus inspired merely by a refined and sensi- tive sentiment, but their opposition was changed when they saw the business end of the guestion and then they fell into lme. They are finally realizing that poor horses mean poor men, poor wives, and poor children, and, in fact, T consider that a nation’s strength can be judged by the condition of its economic motive power.

She was told that ‘“‘some day, no doubt, she would have alargefortune.” The child ndered a moment, and then brighten- ng \'Iflihle{, exclaimed: “All right!
