A Wonderful Piece of Work. The Burlington folks have had force of men at work on the east side of the river ever since the ice was strong enough to bear a load, engaged in a queor looking employment. They are weaving a solid mat of willows eighty feet wide and 2,000 feet in length. This mat rests on the ico ana is anchored by chains attatched to posts every few feet along the bank. The top of the mat is very smooth and pre sents a neat appearance, all the splices and joint3 are mado under neath. When the mat is completed it will be like a solid woven piece of cloth, and it is said that several car loads of stone will be placed upon it, the ice will be cut and it will be sunk thus becoming a firm protection to the entire east bank of the river above the bridge. There will be no cutting of the bank as this willow mat will prevent it, and the cost will be small as compared with what it would be if regular stone rip ran work had to be resorted to. The plan is one in vogue by the gov eminent engineers in building em bankments to hold the Mississippi and is not therefore an experiment. V. NKHAWKA NOTES, ;Froifi the Register. outh today to spend Christmas under he parental roof tree, accompanied by the children. Chas. W. Banning, though a pro nounced silver man, has caught the gold fever, and expects to be at Seattle, Wash., ready to start for the . Klondyke country the latter part of next month or the first of May. Oswald Baier returned Tuesday from Hot Springs, Ark., after an ab sence of a little over nine weeks. He feels that his health has been greatly improved by the baths and treatment, but does not think the damp climate there very healthy. Sheriff-elect Wheeler has selected J. D. McBride as his deputy, as he promised before election to do, at a salary of $1,000 a year, and has also appointed him jailor, and he will make what profit there is in feeding prisoners, with his house, fuel and lights furnished by the county. Mr. McBride and his estimable family will be missed here, where they have re sided a great many years, but we are glad Mac is stepping into so lucrative a position. Failure of a Union Firm, .G. A. Rose & Co., one of the oldest firms at Union, gave a bill of sale yes terday o J. H. Catron, a Nebraska City banker, for their store and real estate to cover an indebtedness of about $4,000. The company part of the Arm is S. A. Weimer, who resides at Nebraska City. The -easoD8 for the collapse are given as too much credit business and failure to collect. No man in the county stands higher for integrity than Al Rose, and the people of Union place none of the blame upon him for the collapse of business. It is thought that eimer has been borrowing money the firm's credit and has Bwamped in that way, though no proof has jet been given of this fact. Mr. Rose has given up all his property except the house where he resides. The failure will have no effect on any j other business, as it was connected with nothing else.

Today's, action of the market an the enoi mous purchases of .December by the Loiter brokers seem proof that there is no December shortage now outstanding. It was this fact as much as anvthing else which made tho trade bearish, despite a very bullish array of news for the day. It is generally expected that the great deal will bo wound up without the sensations that were looked for earlier in the month.

Wool- worth, which occurred at 0 o'clock this morning, was a sad surprise to" hundreds of Omaha people who heard the news with the most sincere sorrow. says the Omaha correspondent of the State Journal. M.l. Wool worth 'had been ill for several weeks,but although ho was confined to her room ..most of tho time, her condition was not such- as to cause her friends any 'uneasiness. Early this morning she was suddenly stricken with apoplexy and expired without regaining consciousness. Iler husband and thoir only daughter,Miss Meliora Woolworth, - were -with her when she expired. " Mrs. Wool worth's maiden name was Elizabeth Stanton Bjtterlield, and she was born in Homer, N. Y. , July Hi, lSG. Her father was Moses Bradford Butterfield of that city and she was descended in a direct, line from-. Win. Bradford, tho first governor of Ply mouth colony. " Most of her y6ung wo manhood was passed. in Racinex Wis., but she came to Omaha in IstiS. She was for some time principal of Brown- ell hall, but left that institution some time before she was married" to Judge Woolworth in August 1571. ' During her thirty years' residence in Omaha Mrs. Woolworth had been prominent in church and social cir cles, where vshe leaves, behind many sincere friendships. She had been one oi tne most active members . oi Trinity cathedral and her urivale charities - nave - been " numerous. Among her' accomplishments she in cluded an excellent musical education, and for many years she was closely identified with local musical enter prises. She was ceo oi the founders of the ladies' musical sxriety and i-rt.-slded- over it for several years. The late Mrs. Champion S. Ch;.-. was a sister of Mrs. Woolworth a; , her other sisters, M is?es Mellon i a.l Frances Butterfield, are still rcsidec; s of this tity. Mfs3 Meliora Clarkfo:; Woolworth is her only child, a son, Robert, having died in his icfa:.cy. The funeral will probably be held at Trinity cathedral Friday, afternoon and it is the wish of the family thru no flower? bo offered. ' . " - - tiioriiiouM Otiuntitit'S of Tolmooo Wuitiii); Shipment to this Country. Atlantic, Ga., Dec. ;J0 A special to the Constitution Ironi Havana, via Key West says: From a' strictly pri vate and yet respon.-ihle source comes ttie information that the port of Ha vana will be opened to exportation within twenty-four houis. The port was closed by Captain General Wey ler"s edict of May 11, 1S06, for tho purpose of eutting the tobacco indus tries of tho United States, particularly those of Tampa, and Key West, off from their -supply. General Weyler did this, ho claimed, to insure perm a- nant erap'oyment to the discontented cigarmaKers in Havana during tne tro'ublcsomo times of war, but it is knorwn that his special aim was to paralyze the Cuban colonies of the United States, from which was coming the fostering strength that made the insurgents formidable. There are aoout iU,u'.;u oaies oi tobacco now choked in the warehouses of IJavanna rcad3to bo shipped to the United States the .moment the port is opened. It is said tiitst the crop is promising, all of which indicates that brighter days are dawning for the paralyzed commerce cf Cuba and the waning cigar factories of the United Slates. At the State Meeting. In the Stale Journal's report of the st tie meeting of Federation of Woman's clubs at Lincoln, we Gnd the following with ref jrence to a well known Pluttsmcuth lady: ""Mrs. IJ. M. Stouten borough of Plattsmoulh, president of the state federation, had the next subject, which was ''As to Ethics." She expressed the opinion that tho physical and mental education of the child was fre quently at the expense oi the moral. She .quoted W. T- Harris as saying "Every man has two selves the wide self works for humanity, The little self for the individual." She feared that the 'little sell" was cultivated in school. Although the schools might not bo -ready for ethics by text book and recitation they were certainly ready for the teachers who teach them by example, and the club women should use their personal ' as well as united influence to secure such teachers. 'HVhen Mrs. Stoutenborough had concluded Mrs. D. A. Camobell sang in her charming manner, "If 1 Were a Gardener" by- Chiminado and Ne- vin's ' O That Wo Two Were May ing." Mrs. Cimpbell was heartily .applauded." ' HAVELOIK ITKJIS. From the Times. " ' Mrs. G. W.

Aside from tho crowd was a well dressed young man, who was walking back and forth by the newsstand puff lug away at a fragrant cigar. Finally a member of tho crowd of traveling men remarked upon tho beauty of the littlo Salvation Army worker. All eyes wero fixed on the littlo woman, and she re ceived many compliments. Tho prosper ous looking young muu who had been walking near the group of drummers drew near to the crowd. He, too, was struck with tho appearance of tho wo man. "I'll give any one of yon fellows $13 if j'ou kiss that girl," said ho. Those in tho crowd took tho dare. Ono spoke up, however, and paid to tho stranger who had offered tho money, "I'll bet you $20 that you can't kiss her." The stranger hesitate d for several ecc onds and then naid : "I'll just take that bet." The money was put up, and tho stranger, who had given his namo as Walter Redmond, walked over toward the little woman in uniform, and, after bowing profoundly, took a seat Ly her side. At first the woman seemed to bo very indignant, and tho traveling man thought ho had tho $20 won. A mimito later, however, Redmond's arm stole around tho woman's waist. The specta tors then began to open their eyes wide. One of them said: "That fellow has a whole lot of influence over that girl. It may be that he is a hypnotist." Red mond talked for probably two minutes and then kissed the woman. Redmond walked over to tho stake-, j to his home to brush tho alkili out of o- I , . . , . nis nair and exchange his buckskin trouters for a pair of the plain Jc Hor seman kind, without any fringo on or silver bells at tho botton. "I had a very pleasant trip," said ho a few minutes later to a reporter. "Tho Mexicans are a delightful peo ple, their hospitality is simply mar velous. When I crossed the border the custom ollicials smilingly refused to examine my baggago, and when I boarded a Mexican Central train I found they had provided a special car for my enjoyment. Of courso 1 ap preciated their intentions very much, but I could not think of accepting any favors from a corporation and I hunted up the conductor at once to pay my fare. He smilingly refused to accept anything. I i nsisied, but the morel explained th ; more tho uniformod greaser bowed and smiled and rubbed his hands. Well, finally I deposited a little suck of silver dollars in tho place where the btovo usually stauds they don't need stoves in tho cars in Mexico and thus paid for my trans portation. "The fact that impressed me most in respect to tho people of Mexico, however, was their superiority in reasoning over the people of tho United States. I regret that 1 must admit it but the Mexicians show more penetration, grap a subject far more readily than my own countrymen. For in -dance, I explained to them this country'.-, linancial t-yst-.'in, its defects and how to remedy them. Why, they comprehended at once aud promptly condemned the United States for ad- iciing to tho gold standard. Oh, holder aud received his money. Ho then started from tho depot. The little wo man quickly arose from her seat, and, taking his arm, walked to Ninth and Broadway, where the couple took an East Broadway car. Redmond is tall and handsome. His "wife is a blond and is exceptiona'ly pretty. Louisville Courier-Journal. A HINT TO ARTISTS. One Way of Putting Rejected Exhibits to Good Use. Thtry were riding ou the Fourteenth street cars and their conversation was edifying. Tho man with tho long hair was evidently a sculptor, and his com panion, a large, jolly looking fellow, was trying to persuade him to present a Work of art to somo society woman who had a mania for collecting bric-a-brac and articles of vertu. "I told her that you would, I thought, in time present her with some memen to, a statuette illustrating your peculiar style. Was I wrcug in saying so?" The sculptor answered indignantly: I know her value of art, and I tell you she cannot distinguish between manu factured trinkets and works of art. In fact, she thinks all artists are manufac turers and cau turn out statuettes as easily as the rich stove ornament man who gave her a nickel plated mule. Then, too, a brass fixture artist gave her something from tho brass foundry, and she thought it great. Never, in my judgment, could she appreciate a truo work of art. " "Then you refuso to givo her a sam ple of your work? Remember, she has great influence. " "I do not refuso. I'll give her that model in plaster of paris which was re fused by tho committee last mouth. She will think it great, whether or not the committee did. " "Good! She will think it magnifi cent and get you au order. ' ' New York Commercial. A Dramatic Assassination. By far the most dramatic royal assas sination was that of the Emperor Paul of Russia on March 24, lbOl, by his nobles. As usual Paul had retired to rest booted and spurred and in his regi mentals. At the dead of night ho was awakened by an unusual noise. The hussar who guarded his chamber door the only faithful sentry, as it proved, in the palace was being killed by uino nobles. They burst into the room and began to attack the emperor. Paul hid behind chairs and tables and begged for his life. He offered to make each of his assailants a prince. He offered to abdi cate in vain. Then he made a wild dash for the window, fearfully gashing him self, but he was dragged back. He seized a chair and for some time kept the nine of them at bay, and only after terrific struggles was he seized and strangled with his own sash. Pointed.
