HANDLE ROOTS AND HERBS Delegates to Druggists' National Conven- " tion Entertained in Omaha. STOPPED OVER A DAY TO SEE THE CITY Were Dined nt the Commercial Club Rooms nand Taken on Street Car Excursions About the Two Omahns. Wearly 100 members of the Wholesale Drugglsts’ assoclation of gpent six hours in Omaha yesterday as the guests of the local jobbers and the Commer- elal club. They were on thelr way to Den- ver to attend the annual convention of the asccctation and the stop In Omaha was greeted as a happy Interval in the long ride over the continent. The plan for a stop over in Omaha dated back to last year's convention, when Mr. C. ¥. Weller suggested that it would be a good fdea for the eastern delegates to improve the opportunity to see the metropolis of Nebraska while they were on their way to the next convention. The suggestion was favorably received and a few days ago Mr. Weller was notified that the eastern delega- tion would spend the greater part of yester- day in the city. Preparations were im- mediately made to give the visitors a r ception that would do credit to the reputa- tion for hospitality that has been claimed for Omaha, and a committee headed by Mr, Weller and Commissioner Utt made all arrangements for their entertainment. The visitors came in on speclal Pullman cars attached to the Burlington No. 5, which was due af the union depot at 9:50 yesterday morning, ~ The train was delayed, however, for nearly an hour, which left the Omaha business men just s0 much less time In which to show their guests the attractions of the city. As the visilors left the train they were recelved by a committee consisting of C. F. Weller, H. J. Penfold, N. A. Kuhn, E. E. Bruce, J. B. Utt, Amos Fields, H. T. Clarke and George H. Payne. Mr. Penfold was ac- companied by a box of the new Ak-Sar-Ben badges, and one of these was pinned to the lapel of each of the travelers as a souvenir of Omaha and its spectacular order of no- bility. HOW THEY WENT THROUGH TOWN. Many of the delegates were already ac- quainted with members of the reception com- mittee and a quarter of an hour was cccupied in completing the acquaintance all around. Then the party was conducted to a special motor traln which was waiting and taken for a ride over the city. The route led them to the west end of the Farnam street line and back to Seventeenth and Farnam streets, where_they alighted to Inspect the city hall and The Bee ubllding. The party was taken to the roof of The Bee bullding, from which the guests obtained an excellent view of Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs, the cities showing to their best advantage in the bright morning sunlight. The original intention of the committee was to continue the trip north on the Six- teenth street line and back to the park, but as the cross town cars were tied up by a breakdown at the power house they were conpelled to try another plan. A part of the company attended morning services at Trinity cathedral and the First Methodist church and the others were taken for a trip across the river, around- the loop and back to Omaha. The trip was very pleasantly ac- complished, and shortly after 1 o'clock the visitors were conducted to the Commercial club rooms, where an attractive repast \'\ks spread in their honor. Cigars, punch and similar refreshments were served In one of the parlors, while the 1ong tables in the main dining room were ar- ranged to accommodate the entire party, Exactly 100 persons sat at the tables, and the time remaining before their departure was very pleasantly occupled in improving Aacquaintances and promoting general good fellowship. Many of the visiting druggists were accompanied by their wives and daugh- ters, whose presence added to the interest of the social session. The visitors left for Denver at 4:35 with many expressions of appreciation of thelr brief ~but enjoyable visit to Omaha. - He HBought O rd Homes Land. OMAHA, Neb., August 230, 1895.—Mr. Geo. W. Ames, City: Dear Sir—I have just got back from & most delightful trip to Orchard Homes, Mississippl, and have found that plice and surrounding country the most beautiful and fertile ever T set eye on. For a climate nearer perfection you could travel the world over and could not find any- thing to surpass it. T had been reading the Orchard Homes advertisements in The Bee, but never dreamed It was the place repre- sented to be. The looking over that beautiful country called Orchard Homes and the many different varleties of fruits and vegetables, and also farm products that can be grown' there im- pressed me so much that to think of coming back to Omaha without-making a purcha e would be my fortune lost, Therefore, 1 secured myself a beautiful tract In Orchard Homes, which is under c:t- ton at present, and also a splendid crop of corn, with a stream of clear water running down through the center of it.

Yesterday from early morning until late tn the afternoon all roads out of the city seemed to lead to the s.ate fair grounds. The day w perfect, and every family carriage, as well as most of those from the livery stables, went into the procession that moved along over West Dodge street. There were ‘cyclists by the hundreds and pedestrians who joined the bustling throng. Out at the grounds there was nothing to in- dlcate that it was a day of rest. Men were busy In erecting new buildings and putting the finishing touches on the structures which are nearly completed. Scores of workmen were laboring on the ditches, laying mains and completing the detalls of the water works system, while an army of men with scraper: rollers and drags were finishing up the race | track, leveling it off and working upon It that it may be as solid as a floor. Outside of the fair grounds the Omaha Street Railway company had a couple of hundred men laying track, setting poles, strit g- ing wire and surfacing the rcadbed, In crder that it may be completed as soon as possible. It Is the intention of the company to lay the last rall about Welnesday and have the road in good condition for handling the crowds that will go out to the fair grounds next Friday, “Jubilee Day,” the day upon which the state fair grounds will be dei d. ven at this early date some of the bulky exhibits, such as machinery, are being placed upon the grounds, and with the end of the present week members of the board of man- agers predict that many of the exhibits will be placed. People who yesterday visited the grounds for the first time expressed much surprise, remarking that the buildings were much better than they had supposed they would be. They were loud in their praise of what had been accomplished, and went go far as to say that now all that was neeled to make the fair a grand success was good weather. i COUNTRY ROAD IMPROVEMEN Report of the Progress Mn Duri the Summer, Grading of the county roads has been pushed with unusual activity this summer. Up to this time fully seventy-five miles of improved roads have been built and many more miles will be built before fall closes the work. The letting of contracts for the removal of dirt was begun early in April and several hundred thousand yards of dirt have been re- moved by various grading contractors at prices varying from a few cents per yard to 16 cents. The last sum was the highest fig- ure paid, It was the agreed sum for the re- moval of the dirt on the streets approaching the fair grounds, the increased price being paid owing to thesrush to get the work done in time to lay the street railway and by reason of the difficulty of the removal of the dirt. Several high banks of over twenty feet in depth were encountered, which rendered hand labor necessary. Little of the county work is now done by hand. The road building of today is done by means of road machines and graders. To prosecute this work the county has made contracts with four gangs of graders. One outfit throws up a rounded surface by means of twelve horses, with two men to manage. The other three outfits use eight hogses and two men to each machine. Contracts were made early last spring with Oliver Davis to run a large grader for $16 per day. This makes the cost of improvement for the county about 2 cents a yard. Were there no hills to be encountered it could be done for 1 cent a yard. Three or four men have been employed in putting terra cotta pipes in place of rotting wooden culverts. The work on the macadamizing of the southwest road has been ordered to begin again. This alone in- volves an expenditure of over $30,000.

OMAHA, Aug. 31.—To the Editor of The Bee: Have just read an editorial in this morning's Bee, entitled “Enlarging Our In- dustrial Field,” which ends w:th the following cure: “The remedy is in the hands of the Nebraska consumers. It also says: “If the people of Omaha will give preference to Nebraska-made articles, other things being equal, they will compel the dealers to_patronize the home manufacturer. We just want to give you a little encour- agement on the home industry idea, which we belleve Is sticking in the minds of a lot of the best people in Omaha, and which we are free to admit Is Increased by the per- sistent efforts of The Omaha Bee. In the past ten days we - have recelved orders for three first class hand made car- riages, which requires three months to finish and means the employment of men in four different departments, woodwork, ironwork, trimming and paintiog. This work will all be done in our factory, and for the pri “quality considered,” will be better than anything made out of the state. This ls strong language, but we mean every word of it. The three orders we refer to are from General Charles F. Manderson, attorney gen- cral B, & M. raflroad; Mr. Frank Murphy, president Merchants Na- tional ‘bank; Hom. A, J.

The public schools will open tomorrow morning and more than 15,000 teachers and pupils will exchange the allurements of va- cation enjoyments for the routine of the school room. For the past week the office of Superintendent Pearse has been a constant rendezvous of the returning teachers, many of whom were improving the first oppor- tunity to acquire an acquaintance with Dr. Marble's suecessor. All of t'e teichers except four have been assigned, and all things are ready for taking up the new school year where the ola one left off. It is not expected that the average attend- ance at the schools of the city will be much larger this year than last. The school cen- sus of 1894 indicated that there were 20,974 chiliren of school age in the cl'y, and the rosters of the various schools showed that of these 16,637 attended schcol. This year the census shows 28,630 children of echool age, which would Indicate that the increase of 1,000 per year, which has been depended on for the past few years, will scarcely ma- terlalize fn 1895, It is always the case, however, that there is a decided falling off in attendance at the close of the year. It is therefore expected that the attendance at the opening cf the fall term will aggregate from 500 to 1,000 more than were registered at the close of the spring term. As nearly as the increise can be calculated now there will be no difficulty In accommodating all the pupils who apply for admission. CROWDING CAN Superintendent Pearse deal of his time since coming acquainted with the physical condi- tion of the schools, and he does not expect any excessive overcrowding. The Cass, Wind- sor, Lincoln and possibly one or two other schools may be slightly crowded, but the over- flow can be readily cared for, either by open- ing new rooms where they are available cr by transferring one or two classes to other schools where there are unused rooms, The High school has been rearranged during the vacation, o it is expected to accommo- date the classes of the year. The old gym- nasium has been remodeled into class rooms for the commercial department, an1 this s ex- pected to relieve the crowding of rooms. Superintendent Pearse was asked if the change in the head of the system would in- volve any new methods. He says that there will be no changes in methods at present. He says that he has spent most of his time 0 far in familiarizing himself with the con- ditlon of the schools and the personmel of the teachers, and that for the present at least there will be no departures from the old groove. “It is too early for me to make any radical changes,” said the superinten- dent. “I propose first to get the system thoroughly in hand, after which I will be better abie to judge where improvements can be suggested.” RETURN OF THE TEACHERS. Most of the teachers arrived to spend Sun- day in the city. A few, taking advantage of Labor day, will not reach the scenes of labor until this evening. Southern California seems to have been a favorite resort this summer fir Omaha teachers. Misses Hamilton, Jensen, Dawson, Hughes, Mrs. Mann and several others spent some time in this charming region. Miss Vincent, princ!pal of Columb'an school, and Miss Redfleld, principal of Linco'n, spent an_Invigorating vacation at Green Mountain Falls, Colo, Miss Squires of Lothrop sought health and rest In the Colorado mountains, Miss Mary B. Meyer of Franklin Manitou, and very ill. Miss Phelps of Lothrop was very seriously ill during the vacation, but is sufficiently re- covered to resume her dutles. County Superintendent Hill employed Miss Lulu Knight and Miss Nappa Holiday to as- sist In the Douglas county institute. Miss Knight gave the Preece system of physical culture in several other Nebraska Institutes during the summer. Miss Holiday's summer was spent at the Fremont normal, where she took a course in higher mathematics. Miss Kate Meyer, formerly of Hickory, has charge of the intermediate department of the Millard schools for the coming year. Mrs. H. H. Heller, last year at Dodge, Is to have charge of the primary department of Mrs. Holyoke's school, located at 1624 South Thirty-second avenue. Miss Becker, formerly of the Omaha corps, now first assistant in one of Denver's large buildings, spent the summer with Omaha friends at Green Mountain Falls, Colo. Mrs, Emma R. Neidig of Los Angeles, for- merly Miss Rice, principal of Bancroft, is vis- iting friends in the city. Mrs, Neidig came east as a delegate to attend the convention of the Lady Maccabees of the World, in which order she holds the office of supreme lieuten- ant commander. Misses Lewis and Ballantyne of Walnut Hill spent several happy vacation days visit- ing their friend, Harriet D. Ray of Traer, Ia., formerly of the High school force. SOME MADE TO MOURN. The many friends of Evangeline Libbey Powers, for several years a well known teacher in the Lake school, will be grieved to learn of the death of her only chil Little Ruth Phylis pasted away August at the family residence in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Mary L. Hodge of the Bancroft school has as her guest Miss Dora Cady, the Young Women's Christian association's new secre- tary. Last June cleven young women completed the course prescribed in the city training school. Ten of them have been assigned for three months to positions in the grades. The eleventh one, Miss Hitty De Graff, was re- cently married to Rev. Johnson of the First Congregational church of Leadville and Is now in_Burope on her wedding trip. Miss Jennie Campbell, principal of Clifton Hill school, was married on August 27 to Mr. H. 0. Devries of the Globe Loan and Trust Savings bank. Mr. and Mrs. Devries will soon be at home to their friends at Forty-sec- ond and Cuming streets, At the recent examination given applicants for positions in cily schools seventeen candi- dates took the primary, seven the grammar and five the High school examination. In June sixty-four were aspirants. Among the Importations of the season are several teachers of wide reputations. Miss Adams of Lincoln, aseigned sixth grade at Columbian, has a most enviable record, as has Miss Upson of Beatrice, assigned to Long schoel, who 18 an ex-Nebraska county superin- tendent. A systeni of air line balloons seems the only solution to the question how some of the resident teachers may reach the schools to which they are now assigned. It is rumored that Mrs. Jeannett Woodard now principai_of Davenport, will be the new principal at Clifron Hill, and that Miss La Rue of Monmouth park will succeed at Dav- enport. The superintendent’s office has freshly tinted walls and other improvements in honor of its new occapant. The Dodge school is resplendent in fts vermillion hues. A less conspicuous, but much needed, addition to this building is the placing of water con- veniences in toe hall, Pacific las bee in the hands of repairers with good effect.

Alan Dale Is said ito have constructed an aphorism on “A Fatted Calf,” calling it “good meat.” One might with entire pro- priety make use of an adject!ve less com- plimentary, which would still preserve the beauty of the metaphor. There are several such, from which a cholce can be made to match individual taste, Careying out the scriptural idea foreshad- owed in its title, and even improving in polnt of numbers upon Its sacred source, the plece presents: *“3—Prodigal Sons—3,"” who speak in cho- rus or repeat variations on the same theme, one after the other. They suffer entangle- ments which might be made amusing and from which they emerge triumphantly to partake of the veal cutlets of the last act. These three, in company with unother like them, have four wives and as many babies, who likewise talk or squall, as the case may be, in concert. One of the ladies, Miss Lewis, has a pleasant mezzo-soprano voice, | which she uses with good effect in solos | and concerted numbers, and Mr. Shirriff | whistles 80 well that he should emancipate himself from thrall_of the time-triea and fire-tested ““Mocking Bird.” In the mat- ter of acting, purposely reserved to the last, there {s-less choice among members of the company than might be wished, although Mr. Hirschberg, Mr. Thropp, Miss Starr and Miss Sheldon are the best. AT THE BLOW CANADIAN ne for Round-the-World Busi- %% of All Competing Lines. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The biggest kind of railroad combination has just been formed to wrest from the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Pacific Steamship company and its connections the round-the-world business which is now controlled by them. The scheme to get control of this traffic was, it s said, evolved by Collis P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific railroad. It is nothing less than a combination of all the trunk lines in the United States with the principal pas- senger steamship lines, the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation company and the Pacific Mail Steamship company, to handle round-the-world business in joint competition against the Canadian Pacific Raflway and Steamship company. While the travel under Mr. Huntington's plan is divided between the railroads here, the transatlantic and the Pen- insular & Oriental line the entire round-the- world traffic is concentrated when it comes to crossing the Pacific ‘o the Pacific Mail Steam- ship company's boats. Mr. Huntington Is heavily interested in this company. A few days ago, under the plan which has been agreed upon by all the railroad and steamship lines interested, round-the-world tickets were placed on sale at all the principal citles In this country and Europe. It is now possible for one to purchase a coupon ticket in New York or any other principal cily which will be good over any of the big trans- atlantic steamship lines the traveler may choose to go on. The parties to this scheme expect to take away from the Canadian Pa- cific a good deal of its business. ———— Recelver for a Car Comp MEMPHIS, Sept. 1.—Chancellor Sneed in chancery court appointed A.

Victor White of the Sheridan Coal company MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1895 BUSINESS ON THE INCREASE Late Summer Trade Very Satisfactory to Omaha Merohants, BETTER THAN AT SAME TIME LAST YEAR Autumn Season Opening Up Favor- bly and Gemeral Outlook 1)y Encournging—Conditio) Prevally in Al Lines. “Business has been better with us in the last two months than ever before in the history of the house’ sald Mr. Burgess of the M. Smith company to a question by a Bee reporter regarding the opening of fall trade. ““We have 450 on the pay roll at present and expect to Increase the force very shortly. We are behind on orders now and there are plenty more in sight. Coun'ry mer- chants that handle our line of gcods are buy- ing oftener this year and paying more promptiy, and all of them say they are look- ing forward to a large fall trade. We think hard times are a thing of the past, and prosperous ones are at hand.’” A canvass among the retail and wholesale firms of Omaha deve'oped the fact that Sep. tember trade s opening with a rush in nearly all lines. Pecple, both in the city and country, who for the last two years have ecinomized on all articles of food and clothing have at last reiched the limit, and with rich harvests in prospect are placing their orders among the merchants to be pald for when the gollen cereal begins to move eistward. Many of the smaller dealers in the state who have clung frantically to a small cash reserve against a continuation of hard times, fear ng the bottom had not been reached, have taken courage aj the bright out'ook in the stite and are now replenishing their deple.ed stocks. Among the retailers Mr. Thompion of Thompson, Belden & Co., dry goods, answered an_inquiry from a reporter by say ng: ‘“Yes there is no doubt that business is better now, and has been for the last month than at any time in the last two years. We are sendng out 15,000 catalogues to our regular customers throughout Nebraska and the we-t, and those only recelve price lists who are dealing with us at the present time. Our mail orders hav never been so heavy as th's fall and the city patronage has Increased wonderfully in the last few weeks. I think hard times are over."” COUNTRY MAIL ORDERS HEAVY. Mr. Hugo Brandels of the Boston store said: “We are ordering lots of goods for the fall trade this year and business is a great deal better with us now than it was last year at this time. Our country mail orders have been unusually heavy.
