The Nebraska Central Bridg.
"Washington, April 11. The bill au
thorizing the Nebraska Central railroad
company to construct a bridge across the
Missouri riyer at Omaha was reported in
the lioiist; today nud referred to the pri
vate calendar. As the accompanying
committee findings say that thero is no
objection to the measure except those
made by the Union Pacific it is sure to
pass the house without much opposition.
The Central Nebraska company wa or
ganized about one year and a half ago,
as an auxiliary to the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul, to construct an air line road
from Omaha wcat through the center and
most densely populated section of the
s ati and at one time t he St. Paul had
all nrrangeuunts about completed and
was rea-ly to begin work on a bridge
when the Omaha c Council Bluffs bridge
company stepped in and knocked them
out.

LVHEN . YOU WANT
Killed by a FalllnaTree.
MbXico, Mo., April lo. Wont reached
this city thin morning that John liuehan
un, a pioiieer of this taction, fied 82
year.-, bail biea found deatl in th wootls
near Thompson, with a heavy tree lying
across hi bie:it. Ijuchaniin had been
boarding around in the neiglitn.'iliood
west of Tiioiajjson Station, chopping saw
log for aliving. Oa !it Saturday m- in
ing he started out na usual, buying he
would return fi;r dinucr. lie did come
back, however, but has he had been in
the habit of spending nights at differeut
houses in the locality nothing was thought
of his absence until a day or two ago,
when a seircli was instituted. This morn
ing the body of the old man was found
in a pasture, lying under u heavy tree.
A Hunter's Fatal Mistake.
Cjixmbia, S. C, April 13. -lien Davis,
a colorad man, and twoyouug white men
named Perry, went into the woods in
Georgetown county, yesterday, to hunt
wild turkeys. Th party seperated, and
us it is customary in this kind of sport,
one of the Perrys hid himself in the thick
undergrowth and began gobbling like
a turkey, to locate tho garne. His muta
tion wai so clever that Davis, who was
also bidding a few hundred feet away,
mistook Perry's gobbling for that of a
genuine bird and attempted to creep up
on him. Perry mistook the stealthily ap
proaching darky for a turkey and, firing
away at hiin, the entire load of shot en
tered hi3 face and breast, killing him in-stanty.

TAr. Conkling'tf Condition Not Im
proved. N ew York. April 13. Dr. Anderson
said this morning that Conkling rested
will ail night and sh-j.t quite as well as
the night previous IIo only awoke wlun
called upon to t.tke his midicine. - The
pata:it r.o lender walks the roo;ri as
did tno days ago. lie gets uj) at iuter
vals r.ad moves nrou:id, but not in the
nervi us and excited way he formerly did.
"Ha lias now pnsed out of the first acute
stag-.s of tho disease," s:'.id the doctor,
"and does not suffer the pain that he did
at tit ;t. lie has laktn more nourishment
last night than any previous night. The
patient has tu't lost sixty pounds of flesh."
About 10 this morning Dr. Barker is.-iutl
a bulletin ?jing that Coukling passed
good uiyht. lie bb pt will and his mind
is clearer thi lacining. pr. Barker issu
ed a bulletin tit 2:20 this afternoon, Say
ing that Coukling had been sleeping quiet
ly for the la.-st two hours and a half, and
that there was a little improrcmcut since
this morning.
Dr. Anderson came out of the house at
G o'clock, and when he was asked con
cerning the statement of Dr Barker that
Conk ling was not doing so well this
afternoon, saic: "No, Conkling has lost
some ground."
At G:10 p. m. IInry Melville, Mr.
Conkfing's law partner, came out of the
house and said there was no change in
Conkling's condition. T)ii family, lie
s vid, were very anxious. The physicians
had predicted that Conkling would be
better inside of three days. The predic
tion had not been fulfilled.
The general impression at the Hoffman
house is that Conkling's condition is
more precarious than indicated in the
bulletins. While some of the bulletins
have been favorable, vet there seems to
be a world of reset atip in all Dr.
Baker ha? given out. On the other hand
not a favorable bulletin has brcn issued
while the distinguished patient wm
"otherwise th in asleep. While awake he
was verv nervous, or even worse, excited.
In the r.ietplinie his streu.h z receding
hourly. Today came a most unfavorable
symploiu iu bis refusing to take milk, on
which L; h:is subsisted, and in a nervous
twitchiug of the hands.
At J:oO Dr. Barker said: "Since 5:30
p. ui. there has been a change for the
better, lie has given up his twitching,
and now takes milk. His .wound has
not been !res3ed today. I will be aafis
fijd if there is no change for the worse
befvre I call again at 11 p. ui., and if I
then find him tliS sanie I will go home
and take a good nig'it's rest.
Dr. Barker called shortly after 11
i o'clock au I stsjod an hour. The patient!
fell asleep bf,re the doctor left. He is
still 'akin: notirishuunt without difficul
ty, cofui-tjng of a little milk and whis
key. His t .tuperalur? has risen slightly
s-ince the doctor's previous visit, other
wise lie was unchanged.
Scenes in Coloml.o, Ceylon.
ITero comes striding through tho press a
gaunt, wild looking specter, nude to tho
waist, his huge bones seeming to start
through his brown, leathery skin, ami bis
fiuree, black eyes glaring outf beneath a for
est of shaggy hair. There, with tho slow
step and stately bearing of a man who knows
his own importance, comes a tail form with
the shaven crown, long yellow robe, and red
fan of a Buddhist priest, carrying me back
in a moment to tho barbaric temples and
island monasteries of Siam. Then, perched
in the eastern fashion astride of its mother's
hip, with her arm around it, appears a native
child tho prettiest little bronze statuette
imaginable with huge silver bangles glitter
ing upon the dark skin of iti tiny wrists and
aidiles, end all its sjMendld white teeth dis
played in a constant laugh of wondering en
joyment at the surrounding stir and bustle.
And no it we might appropriately sing
"Tho Tamils are Coining," for round the cor
ner file a perfect battahca of tho famous
Malabar race, whoso conquest of Ceylon ages
ago is oua of the chief landmarks in irs
stormy history, T'10r tuow white turbans
arid spoileoS tunics look delightfully cool aud
fresh in the blistering glaro of tho noonday
sun; but their faces, though smooth tmd
sleek as that of a Greek statue, have an un
mistakable coarseness iu the outline of their
broad, blunt noses ar.d thick lips which would
contrast very unfavorably with the sni dl,
delicate, sharply cut features of a genuine
Hindoo. Next passosatail Malayintho white
"baju" (jacket) and particolored "sarong"'

looking doubly picturosquu by contrast with
the queer nondescript garb cf a group of half
easto women, whose shabby black European
gowns and i'.l nhaped hats add something even
to tho ugliness wljieh bountiful nature has co
lavishly bestowed upon them. Then ad
vances a short, stout Cingalese, whoso thick
black hair is gathered into a kind of club on
the top of his head and fastened theto with a

O.4. M. Time Table.
Modern System of Advertising.
The honest system of advertising should bo
but a small announcement of the offer of
goods for tho information of those who desire
to purchase, in such a manner that thosa
who dosiro to purchase, may, by sacking,
find. But in advertising as it now exists,
exaggeration is piled on exaggeration, and
falsehood is added to falsehood. The world
is filled with monstrous Jies, and they aro
thrust upon attention by every possiblo
means. The mails aro filled with them.
When a man opens his mail in the morning,
the letter of his friend is buried among these
advertising monstrosities. They are thrust
under street doors, and they are offered you
as you walk the streets. When you read the
morning and evening papers, they are spread
before you with typographic display, they
are placed among the items you desire to
read, and they are given false headings,
and they begin with decoy headings. They
aro posted upon walls, and on the fences,
and on tho sidewalks, and on bulle
tin boards, and the barns and housetops
and the fences of all tho land are covered
with them, and they are nailed to the treo
and pair-ted on rocks. Thus it is that the
whole civilized world- is placarded with lies,
find thfl moral atmosphero of the world
wreaks with the foul breath of thi3 monster
of antagonistic competition. ilaj. J. W.

Setter Cooks, Than Women,
Not perhaps for the same reason that great
chefs are men, but because one of the most
striking phases of the civilization of today
develops itself in that direction, men are get
ting to be better cooks than women. They
have always been better gastronomers. But
t he man about town, the luxurious idler who
breakfasts at Delmonico's, lunches at the
Brunswick or at Savariu's and dines at
Solaris, actually knows, as a rule, more
about the constituents of the dishes on tho
jnenu, and how they are put together and
heated to achieve a desirable result, than any
woman ho is ever likely to meet there or
elsewhere. There isn t one woman m a
hundred who can go into a restaurant such
as those and order what a man would call "a
decent mbal." Women who have traveled,
sen much of life as their husbaud3 and
brothers see it, owe a vast deal of their popur
larity to their acquired ability to know just
what's what across a table a deux. New
