What the Rock Island is Figur- ing on—0dds and Ends of News, peric Lixcous, Neb., Jan. 9.--|Special to Tne Bee.|—It may be authoritatively stated that the railvoad developments in the near future = will be of great interest to the citizens of Lincoln. A prominent business man re- turned last evening from a trip to Chicago and Omaha, whither he had been called by appointment with the oficials of the Rock Island and Northwesvern railroads. He laid before General Manager Burt, of the Fre- sput, Elknorn & Missourl Valley railroad, a ber of facts concerning the wholesale ests of Lincoln and the desire of this .to secure additional facilities to the west and southwost. Mr, Burt informed him that #is company had in contemplation the ex- tension of its system from Lincoln in tyo directions— ove a liue divectly west to Hast- fngs and the othee southwest to Superior. He further stated that there was a possibilivy of theso extensions being bullt within the year. The action of the company would de- pend entirely, of course, upon the sentiment of tho eastorn investors. Tho prosperity which is just beginning to dawn upon Ne- braska had already attracted the attention ot eastern capitalists and it will undoubtedly have a stimulatiog effect upon railroad de- velopment in the near future, Rock Island People in Town, H. Thompson, representing the itock Isluna, arrived in this city today for the purpose of examining the proposed right of way through the city and reporting upon the advisability of its occoptance. He luspocted the route already designated in these columns, but gave out no intimation as to his decision, In connection with the depot project it may be mentionod that representa- tives of the Rock Island last eveuning madoe an offer of $4,500 1o Thomas Beuch for his property on the corner of Twentieth and O streets. It was a tempting offer, but Colonel Beacb desived vime to tbhink 1t over. This morning he informed the representatives of the road that ho had concluded to accept; but in the meantime they had been thinking it over on their own account, and surprised the colonel with the statement that their offor had been withdrawn, However, it may be stated that the property will eventually be purchased at the price stated. Thayer Roasts Billy Bryan, Governor Thayer continues to hdrbor a feoliug of reseatment and disgust at the action of Congresswan Bryan on the resolu- _tion to send reliof 1o tho starving Russians, Yestorday he gave veut to bis indignation as follows “Yeos, Bryan, our Billy, has openod his mouth in congress and put his foot in it; 08, both foet. It was freely prodicted that is’ ordinate propensity to hear himself talk would do him up in six months, but he nas done it much sooner. He has wmuade a vecord on the proposition for this govern- ment to sond free of charge the offerings of tho American poople for the starving pobu- lation of Russia, and has so commended him- selt to the southern members of the house. He is exhibitiug an amount of cheek which 1s colossal. Yes, there is another term more commoly used to express that commodity, which is gall. New members of pougress have universally shown some dis- creton, Thoy have roemained quiet duving the first sassion, and sometimes through the congress before attempting to make them- ,Q‘xamu conspicuous, They know the rules ap;vand ways of the house, and have acquired “the respect of the members, But this mau, Rryan, seems to imagine that he is the com- bination of wisdom, and thut he 1s golng to 4 dnstruct the house of representatives and the country. He had the bad taste to 1uject free trage luto bis speech on the resolution whieh tion betrays an extraordiniry want of judg- ment and common sense. His talk apon the resolution was weak, punv and contempti- ble. It was discreditable; but let him go on in the way he bas begun and notbing more than his own acts and speeches will be neces- sary to make the people repudiate him in his own district and state. *“T'he defeat of the resolution by the house offers another proof of the saying often heard, ‘Give the democrats rope enough and they will hang themsclves,’ It nas been pre- dicted that that party, with its over- whelming majority in the house of repre- sentatives, would furnish the ropublican party in the coming presidential election all the campaign thunder it needs. They have begun it already, They have shown their nostrity to Russia by their votes on this resolution because the Russian government stood by this country in the time of its great trial, the war- of the robellion. The opposi- tion was led by two confederate brigadiers from Alabama. 1t 1s the first opportunity they bave had in congress of manifesting hostility to Russia because Russia was our friend, “If General Jackson had been alive or had tived from 1861 to 1590 he would have spewad the domocratic party out of his mouth. Ho would have spurned and denounced it, tby the evernal,’ as unfit to livo, Jackson wi a heroand a patriot. He loved his country with an intensity that cannot be doscribed. Ho notified Caltioun and his cohorts that if they dared to advauce oue inch with their wreasonable schemes he would bhang them, and if ho had been president in our war time he would have hung Jeff Davis and his leading followers. He would have been a ve- pblican. “If the dead are.ever conscious of what transpires here bolow, the actions of the democratic party in the last thirty vears would have been sufficient to cause Jackson's bones to rattle in his coftin, Kor tho democ- racy to meet in the namo of Jackson and claim his fame as peculiarly their own is an insult to his memory. The democrats would have been the object of his wrath, for ho hated treason. His fame belongs to his country.” More for Russia, Commissioner Ludden has received another big batoh of letters from difforent parts of tho state tendoring corn aud supolios for tho Russian relief fund. Willlam Loudon of Omabs wriies: “Having noticed in the nowspapors tho kind offer of General Mau- ager Holdrege of the Burlington route to trausport grain for the destitute in Russia froe of charge, I would stato that I will con- tribute a car load of corn w0 be loaded and shipped at Odell on avy date you may specify.” ¥ The Clay county commissioners have made an appropriation to pay for & car load of corn and write for shipping directions. The Gosper county board has done the same, Thomas.county will send a part of a car load or send its equivaient in cash. The Russian farmers living in the vicinity of Henderson, York county, have ralsed 525 bushels and will make it '600.

The informativn to be gained by the auswers to the guestions above out- lined will undoubtedly throw a great deal of light on the subject, in which & great many people of the state are vitally interested Mr. Burrows Hus Resigned. Jay Burrows has voluntarily loosened rip upon the State Farmers allauce. oast, such is the inference frow an aunoun mont made today. He says toat he will positively decline to be a candidate for any position, whatever, in tho state alliance. The announcement is also made ofticially that Mr. Powers will not be a candidate for re-election as president of the state alliance. In view of bis At Johu of Attorne) Whitmore of York, in bebalt of the North American Loan and Building association of St. Ia Minu. When the new law governing the operations of national building anda loan ussociations in this state went into effect, the above com- pany was shut out for the reason that its coustitution and bylaws came in conflict with the law of Nebraska. Mr. Whitmore explained at length the difference between the Nebraska law and that of Minnesota, and maintained that the difference was merely technical and one that can be easily obviated. The board reserved its decision until Monday. A wamber of the board made the statement that even if the company reforred to amends its bylaws to comply with the Nebraska law, it will then come in” conflict with the Minne- sota law, and under the provisions of the Nooraska law a national building and loan association must not only make its bylaws conform to our state law, but with the law of the state from which it receives its charter. In other words, an association of this character cannot have two sets of by- laws, oue for Nebraska and one for another stato, Odds and Ends, © Dora Young, a nice uppearing young lady who claims to live at York, altempted to start out on a life of shame by enteriug a no- torious resort in this city last evening.

Conjugai Passion Diluted by a Comm. Tincture Till Its Victue Was Lost —A Lesson for Dilatory Wouoers, A wedding that occurred one cvening the past week in the north part of the city had connected with it a little story that was not. printed in the account of the nuptial cere- mony. Tho bride, who by the way is a very pre- possessing young lady, had just passed the threo-quarters post on tho spinster race course that unmarried women are supposed to pass over at a very slow pace with no at- tempt whatever to break the record, and to this fuct are undoubtealy due some of the rather unusual occurrences that preceded this wedding ceremony. Bothat as it mav,'itis certain that for three years lust past the atoresaid young lady has been engaged ton cortain young homazopathic physician who looked auxiously forward to the day when he would feel uble to support a wife and take unto himself this hopiug, trusting, waiting maiden who finally accumulated such a stock of deferred hope that she grow sick at heart. But the doctor was loth to fix the day. A month ago ha investea some of his surplus cash ina diamond ring that soon afterward adorned the foromost finger of his intended. Iiven then he was unable to name the happy day, but hopefully predicted as before that it would be ‘‘only a little longer.” It came sooner than ho thought, A famous coacher for a certain base ball team once remarked to a timorous baserunner that ‘*He who hesitates is lost,”” but the matrimonially inclived doctor | never played in that team, heuce he never voceived tho benefit of such invaluable instruction, else this sad tale might not have boen written. He persevered in his fatal procrastination, und neglectea to got 2 cinch on the flecting mowents, Cume Out of the West. Ten days ago a good looking stranger camo to town and called on the family of vhich the young lady is a member. Hé was warmly roc , and chon it transpired that he was renewing the acquaintatceof other days. He was an old schoolmate of the young lady, but had not seen ner nor any of the family for seven years. . He had been im- proving his time, however, and was general superintendent of a bank account of very respectable proportions. All i all, he was decidedly eligible, and furthermore was in search of a wifo, Right here let it Dbe stated that the pro- spective mother-in-law had never regarded the suit of the medieal practitioner with fayor, but tho newcomer, enlisted her sym- pathies at once. Suhe not canly encouraged him, but set to work to make hor daughter likew1se smile upon him, An evening at the theater was followed by a proposal of mar- riage, but time was démanded before giving un unswer, The younz lady sent for the doctor and laid the case before him, She said she had waited a good while ana life was short and time was floeting. 1f ho was about ready all well and good, hut 1f ot she was soroly tempted to embrace the other opportunity. Give Back the Dinmond, The doctor was thunderstruck, and said that 1f his afiauced wife could for & moment cousider such & proposition ho didn’t know but he was willing for her to accept it. The indignant lover little thought that he would bo tossed uside, and when the girl sad she would thiuk over the matter a while longer he thought the day was won. That was an other time that be was mistaken. The girl pondered ounly another night, and the next day tho new suitor was accepted with as much avidity as was consistent with good taste. The doctor was again sent for, the ring was relurned, and he was iuformed that his brotherly affecticn would be warmly cherished That was all, as the 50 far doetor was MILITARY MAT Items of Interest for Uncle Sam's Sold An officer writing to the Army and Navy Registor regarding the bill recently intro- duced by Senator Proctor says: ‘“*‘Considerable interest is taken by all first lieutenants in the bill recently introduced by Senator Proctor for lineal promotion. Se eral petitions are being circulated 1n regard to this matter. No signatures have been given at this post, as all wo askis to bo left alone, One petition is to tue effect that il ltueal promotion is totake effect it should begin with the eaptains as well as lieuten- acts being put lineally where they would have peen ii lineal and not regimental pro- motion had been ia effect until recent logis- lation went luto effect. Captain Bailey Fourth infantry (pesides his war sery- iceo, which in this case, of course, could not count), has been over twenty-threo years a lieutenant. Other ofticers have been getting their promotion after a little over ono-halt that time, and inorder that certain oficors could get thewr double bavs fiest lieutenants were specially excepted in the provisions of the bill. Now tnat they are provided for the rest of us must conform to this measure. Changing the register so much would, of course, cause a great deal of 11l foeling, and vetf ivis just in the case of lientenants it ought to be equally so in the case of cap- tains, Senator Proctor’s bill witl chauge the promotion, and consequently the present status of fivst lieutenants, v materially, and will, of course, be v seriously felt, by some, while causing pleasure to others.”” Company B, Twenty-fourth infantry, will be sent to San Carlos from Fort Bayard.

The rtage amounts to less than $00. It s discovered when Major Overman trat forred his accounts preparatory to coming to Washington to rolieve Colonel Hains, When he was contronted with the allegation he as- serted that the discrepancy in the accounts was wholly due to a clerical error that could bo explained. 1)1d enomies, he claimed, who had harassed him before had taken advan- tage of the orrors to make the charges in order to ruin bim, He was given an oppor- tunity by General Grant, acting socretary, Lo make an explanation to the department, and permission was given him to visit Cleve- land in order to pursue an investigation, He delayed bis veply for so long, howover, that it was finally decided to court-martial him, and charges were accordingly nreferred.
