Mr. Sage sald this evening: “It is probablo the people of Brooklyn will come forward with a big sub- seription. The insurance will —cover the rest. If they want to rebuild, I will put no obstacles in their way. In other words, I will let the debt and interest stand over for an Indefinite period, let them rebuild on the Insurance money and what they can raise in subscriptions and In other “ways.

FREMONT, May 13.—(Special to The Bee.) —The dedicatory service of the memorial tablet to the memory of the late Rev. Isaac Ewing Heaton at the Congregational church drew a large congregation this morning and was very impressive, The addresses of Messrs, C. H. Barnard, Harlow Goff and George L. Loomis were appropriate and pathetic, as were also letters received from Revs. Albert L. Sherrill of Omaha, H. Brought of Lincoln, G. S. Berry and Albert G. Scong. The two latter were former pastors of the First Congregational church in this city. The remarks of Rev. Buss, as well as his hymns, written for the oc- casion, were further evidence of his ac- knowledged ability and scholarship. The singing by the choir, which is one of the best in Nebraska, was also effective. The tablet is a slab of white marble in the form of a shield, with the following inscription: ‘Memorial tablet, erected to the memory of Rev. Ewing Heaton, who founded this church, August 2, 1857, and departed this life on’ September 10, 1593, aged St years.” Deceased was the first settler with his family in Fremont and was for many years pastor of the First Congregational church and was respected by all and dearly loved by his more intimate friends and aseociates.

Ewing R UCING RECORD INDEBTEDNESS, Flrst National Bank of Hastings Relenses a Lot of Old Mortgage HASTINGS, Neb., May 13.—(Speclal to The Bee.)—The Adams County Teachers assocla- tion met in Hastings yesterday with a large attendance of the’pedagogues. The day ses- sions were held in the High school build- Ing and were devoted to papers and dls- cussicns on educational topics. In the even- ing Prof. W. E. Andrews lectured to the association in the Methodist church. The First National bank has lately re- leazed -nearly 500 chattel mortgages, dated from 1884 to 1890, and aggregating $218,400. A large part of this indebtedness is barred by the statute of limitations, and probably all has been met, but the releases were not made of record. The county clerk has lately secured the release of about 800 of these antiguated mertgages, thus bringing the indebtedness record of the county nearer the true amount. .

The firrigation sentiment Is rising to en- thusiasm. President I. A, Fort of: the State Irrigation assocation Is indefatigable in pushing the work of organization. He believes in water and has given practical demonstration of his belief in the organiza- tion of eighteen local irrigation associations during the last thirty days. He cla the next convention of the state assoclation will bz attended by from 1,200 to 1,500 farm- which will be the largest convention ever held In the state. For the purpose of securing general interest in the work of tho ation a large amount of irrigation literature fs being prepared, which will be distributed by July. s county ditches aggrogating nearly 150 milcs in length are already in process of construction. In the northwest- ern part of the county John Bratt & Co. are tapping Birdwood creek for forty miles of irrigation, twenty miles of ditch work on each side of that stream having been com- menced. Another canal twenty miles long will be completed by the same company to irrigate land along the North Platte in the western part of the county. M. C. Keith fs extending a canal along the North Platte, commencing north of this place and ending at Maxwell, fifteen miles east. Hershey & Paxton have twelve miles of waterway under construction, which will fur- nish_water to a fine body of land between the North and South Platte rivers, extending from Sutherland to Nichols. West of Sutherland and partly in Keith county, Messrs. Conway, Hunter & Nellson are building a ditch twenty miles in length. Cody & Dillon are just putting the finish- ing touches on a ditch nine miles long, ex- tending from Nichols along the North Platte to this place. This ditch will furnish water to the Dillon acres and to Colonel Cody's pro- posed Quaker settlement. A ditch six miles long s being constructed opposite Maxwell by the Jewette Ditch com- pany, and one of the same length, opposite this city, is the work of John Evarts. It is estimated that these ditches, when completed, will furnish an ample supply of water for the irrigation of 100,000 acres of Lincoln ecounty land. Several other canals are contemplated. Farmers south of the river have organized for the construction of a ditch forty miles in_length on the co-operative plan. With the certdinty of plenty of water, as- sured by the never-failing flow of the North Platte, it Is evident that Lincoln county is on the up curve of a permanent prosperity. DODGE COUNTY'S ASSESSMENT, Money that Does Not Appear on the As- sessor's Books. FREMONT, Neb., May 13.—(Special to The Bee.)—Among the large transactions in real estate Otto Wagenan of Denver, for- merly of this city, transferred all his real estate in Dodge county to Sutton of Arling- ton. Consideration, $12,960. Promoters of the Fremont ditch enterprise are busy raising money for thes permanent survey, and with hope of speedy success. The sentiment prevails that by the ditch the city may emerge into another bright era of prosperity. According to the published statements of the Fremont national banks there is on de- posit $871,519.34, but a consultation with the asssessor develops the fact that less than 1 per cent of It has found its way into his records. The savings banks show up $60,- 000, making nearly a round $1,000,000 that absolutely shirks all responsibility and all duty In the Interests of the city and state. But another fact is developed by the assess- ment rolls, and that is that every poor man’s cow, or pony, or furniture, or home- stead, looms up in great shape on the rec- orlls. C. W. Hyatt has advertised all his house- hold furniture and personal effects to be sold at public auction on Saturday after- noon next. It is understood that he in- tends to make his future home on the Pacific coast. HASTINGS ARMY ATTENDS CHURCH. Expect to Leave for St, Joseph on Foot In the Morning.

DECATUR, Neb., May 12.—(Special to The Bee.)—The people of this vicinity feel con- fident that the Illinois Central railroad will either cross the Missouri river at thls point or at least come to the river in the near future. Over 3,000 ties are piled up at Onawa, and will either be uscd for repairing the road bed or extending the line.

United States Marshal White returned from Lincoln yesterday, where he took from the penitentiary Frank Joy Dock, whose term expired yesterday. One year ago Joy Dock was sant up from Gr Island for stealing ticket coupons from the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad office, of which at thet' time he was an employe. He went there with good recommendations as an operator and was given a position. He proved to bo a first-class man, and later he turned out to be a first-class thief. He used his positicn as station operator to clip the coupons from the tickets and sell them. -He was finally caught, had a trial at Grand Island and sentenced to one year in the penifentiary. Previous to his crime at Grand Island he lived in Chicago, and while there he stole some United Stafes money orders, and it Is to answer this charge that he is being ro- turned.

Yesterday was as rare as a day in June, with 1ts summer sky filled with flecey clouds and refreshing breezes, and another tremen- dous crowd turned out to see the closing contest between Omaha and Peoria. It was a harvest for the Rourke family and in a measure made up for the short crop of the two previous days. In the very first inning they got out their wagon tongues, and driving Mr. Beam Into a fence corner, they fairly hammered the life out of him. And they kept right on through the whole game, and although there was some shirk- ing and considerable ragged play, they put up their only errorless game, and yet only won by the narrow margin of two runs. The Peorlas fought like tigers, and had their game been apything like Omaha's in the perfection of fleld work, they would cer- tainly have made it three straight. But it was away oft from it, as the last column in the subjoinsd table will show. In the seventh they made a great rally at the bat and hit Sammy McMackin so hard and often that he felt that nothing would save him but prayer. A little timely smash- ing by Rourke, Fear and Moran, however, pulled the game out, and the great crowd left the park with hearts swelling with ex- ultation and pride. This afternoon we will have another dele- gation from Illinois at hand, the Quincys, and Papa Bill says it shall be three straight. Here s the score of yesterday's contest: OMAHA. AB. R. 1B. SH. §B.

The first open air concert of the season was given at Hanscom park yesterday after- noon and' several thousand people found the cool shade of the resort a grateful relief from the dusty streets and crowded tene- ments of the clty. The rich stretches of velvety green sward were arrayed in the soft fresh color born of April showers and May sunshine. The trees were beautiful in their spring attire and foliage and grass blades and springing flowers seemed to vie with each other in wearing their brightest sheen to welcome the famfliar faces they had not seen through all the winter months. The bits of clouds that floated slowly be- tween earth and sky only seemed to em- phasize the radiation of the scorching sun and the shade scemed cool and grateful to the multitude of heated men and women who stretched themseive= out on the benches or sought a more comfortable, if not dignified position lying at full length on the ylelding turf, § G Early in the afternoon the park was alive with people. Hundreds of children played along the gravel walks, apparently uncon- trolled, except by a dozen or so of white- capped nurse girls, who betook themselves to the deepest shade in sight and com- placently exchanged confidences while their small charges wandered according to their own childish desires. As the' afternoon passed every street car brought its quota of prespiring humanity to swell the crowd that wandered along the walks and lolled in the shade of the freshly budded trees. Many of them were laboring people, who found in the cool resort a happy relief from six days of ceaseless spirlt wearing tofll. It was their one luxury that was free, and they threw themselves on the hospitable turf and gazed up into the wavering follage as though they welcomed it as an old friend that they had not seen for many months. The new pavilion received its share of at- tention. It occupies the same ground that the old one covered, but the verandas are broader and the addition of the second story gives it double the capacity of the former buillding. The first story is built of stucco and here the people may sit and rest with- out belng assalled by the importunities of the hired men who distribute ic2 cream and similar condiments in the second story. The interior is finished in California redwood and is well supplied with electric lights, which give the building an attractive ap- pearance in the evening. Upstairs the caterer holds sway and the upper veranda is filled with tables, where the thirsty may sit at eas: and be regaled according to their requirements and the capacity of their pockethooks. . The musical program_was furnished yes- terday by the Seventh Ward Military band, Thelr first number, a march by Toenniges, was not particularly marked, but the iight, airy strains from one of Donizetti’s operas, which followed, were received with some evi- dence of approbation. A medley of sclec tions, alternately tender and inspiring evoked numerous handclappings from various groups, and then the heavier strains of Mozart’s “Agnes Del” and a selection from “Tannhauser” were rendered with com- mendable - success. The remainder of the program consisted of a mixture of well chosen selections from various composers, concluding with a national air by Wiegand. WEATHER FOREC r.

Herald (1), 100, 8wash. Marshall (1), 100, Griflin, It fs said that the owners of Clifford are prepared to back their horse heavily at the last minute, which will send him to the post an even stronger favorite with the public than he Is at present. There is no doubt that the colt has been well backed in the winter hooks, but almost all the money has been laid by the public and the friends of the owners. The trainers, as a rule, are not praising the horse highl almost to a man they declare that not win. One of thelr arguments is that a favorite rare does win, and another is that western reputations’ have not Dbeen justified when the horses have ra in the east. However, Clifford will ¢ the greater part of the moncy and will | probably as heavily backed a favorite as any in recent years.

At that time he covered the and ‘o _quarter in 2:11%, te best he has done since his arr 1 at Gravesend.

This morn- Ing the jockey was down to 116 pound two_pounds less than the weight allotted to_Ajax. The sensational move today was made by Banquet. He started in company with Don Alonzo, and the latter led to the last quarter, when Banquet came away and Deat him out in 2:10 flat by three length He had something left when he finished. Thé chief trouble with Banquet in former years has been that he would not run in company where he was jostled and that he had to have a clear wiy to win. He has apparently changed in this resp , for now he does not geem to mind jostling. Sport has not worked well at Gravesend, and t performances have be 1 Bay, where on Saturday he covere the distanice in 2:10 flat with at least 130 pounds up. He has always been an early horse, and last spring he seemed to be ai- most unbeatable.

Dr. Rice did his best work on Wednesday 4t Sheepshead, when he went the distance In 2:09%, and today he was sent along at about 2:12, being well wound up.
