Nr.miABKA CITY , Neb. , May 9. [ Special
Tolcgrnm to Tun BRI : . ] A romanceIn real
llfo which deserves n place beside , the story
of Enoch Arden and in which a Nebraska
City man is ono of the principal actors , came
to light hero yesterday.
A little over twenty years asro , when the
then young and vigorous church of Latter
Dny Saints tmd begun reaching out for con
verts across the Atlantic ocean , n mission
ary of this faith was sent to England. Ho
was possessed of considerable ability ns n
speaker and sot forth the now evangel of
God's ' latest prophet , Joseph Smith , with
such power that the common people flocked
to hear him by the thousand and whole
platoons of them were converted and shipped
Btrnlgntway to swell the colony of Mormons
In Utah.
Among those converts were a well to-do
couple named Mr. and Mrs. John 13. Crad-
dock , who attended nil the meetings mid
zealously espoused the doctrines taught. Dis
posing ol their earthly possessions , they hudo
farewell to their friends In the mother coun
try and started together on the long voyage
toward the now land and the new religion in
which they had decided to pass the remainder
of their lives.
Although Omaha was then the general out
fitting station for tlio great overland journey
across the plums , the Mormon converts were
directed to come by wny of Nebraska City.
Accordingly , Cruddock and his wife , for
they had no children upon their arrival in
Now Yoric came directly to this place. Ow
ing to some accident , Mr. Cruddock was de
tained hero several days , and his wife was
placed in charge of a number of other con
verts who were just starting. Upon arriving
in Salt Lake she was introduced to n promi
nent aM3stlu | who ut once took a great interest
in her mid proposed that she should bo added
to the list of wives In his already numerous
household. The missionaries carefully
avoided all reference to polygamy In setting
fortli the beauties of the now religion and
Mrs. Craddock wns horrified at his propo
sition. To add still greater force to her re
fusal she informed the npostlo
thr.t she already had a husband ,
who , like herself , had become
n deluded convert to Mormonism , and whoso
arrival she was expecting dally. Upon
learning that she was already married her
npostolle admirer , far from releasing his pur
pose of marriage , hid her away and when her
husband arrived she was nowhere to bo
found. No one in Salt Lake know any
thing about her , and the apostle who held
her in captivity told of the dangers of the
Journey across the trackless desert and of
the frequency of Indian massacres.
Overcome with grief nt his loss and horri
fied as his wife had been by the evidences of
polygamy all about htm , the broken-hearted
husband turned his back on Mormonism and
canio acorn to Nebraska City where he en-
paged in business. As time passed on and
ho still received no tidings of his missing
wlfo , ho gave her up for dead and eventually
remarried.
Mrs. Craddock , after several month's ' im
prisonment In Salt Lake , succeeded in es
caping back to the states. Equally in the
dnr't as to her husband's whereabouts as ho
hod been in regard to hers , she know not
Whcro to turn , and finally succeeded in
making her way to New York whore she
again sailed for England. For twenty years
she heard nothing of her husband , and had
lost all hope of ever hearing from him again
when by the merest chance she met n relative
6f Ijis In England who had but recently re
ceived a letter fiom him dated at Nebraska
City.
City.Not
Not dreaming that ho had remarried she at
'onco secured passage for America and ar
rived in Nebraska City about April 1. Hero
she found her former husband living with his
second wife and a largo family of children ,
Neither could forget what they once were to
cacli other and it was a month before the
unfortunate woman became reconciled to the
fact that she must give him up. Convinced ,
however , that lie hud acted in good faith and
for the sake of his innocent children and his
equally Innocent wife she determined to
abandon nil her claims. Accordingly she
bade him goodbye foi the last time yester
day and bearing the burden of her second
bereavement , once more sot her face toward
the old homo across the sea.

Itoscoo ConklliiR Memorial.
ALIIANY , N. Y. , May 0. Thirty hundred
persons In the Academy of Muslo to-ulght
listened to an oration by Colonel Kobert G.
Ingersoll In memory of U6scoo Conkllng- , and
one-fourth ns many more bcslceed the barred
doors whllo many cllmcd to the roof and
peeped through the skylights. The ceremo
nies were under the auspices of the senate
and assembly.
Colonel Ingersoll snld in substance :
"Hoscoo Conkling great man , orator ,
statesman , lawyer , distinguished citizen of
the republic , in the zenith of his fame and
power has reached his Journey's end , and
wo are met , hero in the city of his birth , to
pay our tribute to his worth and work. Ho
earned mid held a proud position in public
thought. Ho stood for independence , for
courage , and above all for absolute Integrity ,
and his name was known and honored by
many millions of his fellow men. In the
presence of death , the good man judges as
ho would bo judged. Ho knows that men
are only fragments that the greatest walk
In the shadow , and that faults and falluics
mingle with the lives of all. Inthc grave should
bo hurried the prejudices and passions born
of conflict. Charity should hold the scales
.in which are weighed the deeds of men. The
peculiarities , traits born of locality and sur
roundings these are the dust of the race
these are the accidents , drapery , clothes ,
fashions , that have nothing to do with man
except to hide his character. They are the
clouds that cling to the mountains. Time
gives us a clearer vision. That which was
merely local fades away. "
Tlio orator went , into a comparison of
statesmen and politicians at some length ,
and continued : "Itoscoo Colliding wns a
man of superb courage. Ho not only acted
without fear but bo had that fortitude of
soul that bears the consequence of a course
pursued without complaint. Ho was charged
with being proud. His pridov. . < s ns
inflexible us the 'unwedgeablo and
gnarled oak1 but ho was not vain.
Vanity rests on the opinion of others : pride
on our own. The source of vanity is from
without of pride , from within. Vanity is
the vane that turns , a willow that bends with
every breeze. Pride is the oak that defies the
storm. Ono is a cloud the other u rock.
One is weakness the other strength. "
The dead senator was then traced into pub
lic life. "At the dawn of the reformation , "
said Tngcrso'l , [ the chaotic condition of af
fairs just preceding the great rebellion was
alluded to ] "tho war was fought and a
greater period of reconstruction followed.
Men were cither traitors or trusted. Uoseoo
Conkling was always of the latter. Ho al
ways stood in the front rank ; lie never wav
ered ; ho never swerved. Ho battled for the
nation's life ; for the rights of the slaves ; for
the dignity of labor ; for the liberty of all.
Roscoe Conkling wns an absolutely honest
man. Ho was the ideal represen
tative , faithful and incorruptible.
Ho believed his constituents and his country
were entitled to the fruits of his experi
ence to his best and highest thought. No
man over held the standard of responsibility
higher than ho. He voted according to his
judgment mid conscience. He made lib bar
gains ho neither bought nor sold. Ho had
the taste of u princc.tho fortune of a peasant ,
and yet ho never swerved. No corporation
was grcutcnough or rich enough to purchase
him. His hand was never touched by nny
bribe , and on his soul there never wasa
sordid stuhi. Above Ills marvelous intel
lectual gifts above ail the places ho ever
reached above the ermine ho re
fused rises his integrity like some
great mountain peak and there it
stands , as firm as the earth beneath , as pure
us the stars above. Ho was a great lawyer.
Ho understood tlio frame work , the anatomy ,
the foundations of law , was familiar with the
great streams and currents and tides of
authority. Ho knew the history of legisla
tion the principles that hud been settled
upon the fields of war. Ho knew the maxi
mum of those crystalirations of common
sense , those hand grenades of argument.
"Ho was an orator earnest , logical , in
tense and picturesque. Ho laid the founda
tion with care , with accuracy and skill , and
rose by cold gradation and well-balanced
form from the corner stone of a statement to
the doomed conclusion. Ho filled the stage ,
ho satisfied the eye , the audience was his.
Ho hud that indefinable thing culled pres
ence. Tall , commanding , erect , ample in
speech , graceful in compliment , titanic ; in de
nunciation , rich in illustration , prodigal of
comparison and metaphor , and his sentences ,
measured mid rhvthmctlcalfcllliko music on
the enraptured throng. Ho ab
horred a Pharisee , and loathed
all conscientious fraud. Ho had
a profound aversion for those who Insist on
putting base motives back of tho. good deeds
of others. Ho was no mask. Ho know his
friend his enemies knew him. Ho had no
patience with pretence with patriotic rea
sons for unmanly acts. Ho did his work
mid bravely spoke his thoughts. Sensitive
to the last degree , ho keenly felt the blows
mid stabs of the envious and obscure of the
smallest of the weakest but the greatest
could not drive him from his convictions.
Ho would not stoop to usk or give au expla
nation. Ho left his vords and deeds to jus
tify themselves. Ho held in light esteem the
friend who heard with half believing ears
tlio blunders of a foe. He walked u highway
of his own and kept the company of his self-
respect.
"Ho would not turn aside to avoid a foe
to greet or gala friends. In his nature there
was no compromise. To him there were but
two paths the rignt and the wrong , Ho was
maligned , misrepresented and misunder
stood , but he would not answer. Ho knew
that character speaks louder far than n'ny
words. He was us silent then us ho is now ,
and his sllcnco was better than any form of
speech ; It refuted every charge , lie was an
American proud of his country , that was and
over will bo proud of him. He did not find
perfection only In other lands. Ho did not
grow small and shrunken , withered and npol-
ogetis in the presence of those upon whom
greatness hud been thrust by chance. Ho
could not bo overawed by dukes or lords ,
nor Muttered Into vcrtobratclcss subservi
ence by the patronizing smiles of Kings. In
the midst of conventionalities ho had
a feeling of suffocation. He believed in the
royalty of man , In the sovereignty of the
citizen and in the matchless greatness of this
republic. Ho was of u classic mould a fig
ure fiom an antique world , Ho bad the pose
of great statues , the pride and bearing of an
Intellectual Greek , of a conquering Homan ,
and ho stood , with a frco air , RB though with
in his veins there Hawed the blood of a hun
dred kings , And as ho lived bodied. Proudly
ho entered darkness or the dawn that wo
call death , Uiibhrlnklng ho passed beyond
our horizon , beyond the twilight's purple
hills , beyond the , utmost reach of human
harm or help to that vast realm of silence
or of Joy where innumerable dwell , and ho
has left with us his wealth of thought and
deed the memory of u brave , imperious ,
honest man , who bowed alone to death. "

these crimes that outrage on the rights of

The Growing or the Surplus.
WASHINGTON BUIICAU THE OMAHA Bun ,
WASHINGTON. D. C , . May 9.
It would seem that the income and expen
diture of the government just nt this time
conspire to urge n reform of the tariff. The
receipts nt the treasury department to-day
$507,044 from customs duties nntl $30,3C8
from the internal revenue , malting a total of
$903,442. The expenditures of the govern
ment were less than half this amount. The
purchase of bonds for redemption by the
secretary of the treasury to-day aggregated
$130,000 of 4 per cents at 1.20 } . The aggre
gate receipts of the government at this tlmo
are running daily hundreds of thousands
ahead of the expenditures , taking the year
in nnd out. The revenues for six months
past Indicate that the surplus of the year
would amount to over $100,000,000.
This prima facia evidence of the necessity
to make expenditures nnd rcduco the income
by legislation is referred to by tariff reform-
'ers In tbo house with telling effect. When
it comes to hoarding up In the treasury every
day nn aggregate of about a half million dollars
lars more than is necessary to meet the de
mands of the government , oven the highest
protectionist cannot meet the argument for
tariff reform. Their only answer is that the
reduction of the revenues should bo by way
of the internal revenue and not the custom
duties. The offering of bonds to-day
amounted to $4,475,000 , , an oven $2,000,000 , of
thcso being 4 per cents , and the price asked
1.27 , which Is regarded us nt least three-
fourths of a cent higher than tbo price which
should be paid nt the treasury at present.
FOOIl ADUI.TKllATIONS-l'ItorOSEU LEGISLATION.
Another effort wn ? made to-day by the
house committee on agriculture to dispose of
the proposition to impose a tax on a com
pound Inrd. This is the bill that raised so
much disturbance in the committee a couple
of months ago during an investigation being
held into the manufacture and sale of com
pound lard , and in which the manufacture
of hog lard and hog products in general was
brought out. It will bo remembered that a
terrific nnd persistent warfare was waged
upon American hog products , and that the
investigation was brought to a standstill to
prevent the destruction of the export trade.
There is before the committee now a bill pre
pared by the Armours of Chicago , which
does not name lard , but it meets the com
pound lard tax proposition and covers the
whole question of food adulteration. It pro
poses to tax the manufacture nnd snip of all
articles of food adulterated , and provides for
an inspection of the manufacture of adulter
ated foods and also a supervision of their
sale. It makes it a misdemeanor to manu
facture or sell food adulterated so as to bo
deleterious to health. After a general talk
upon tno subject , to-day the question was
postponed , for. a week from to-morrow when'
the proposition to refer it all to a subcommittee
mittee with a view to compiling a measure
which will obviate the serious objections en
tertained against all the suggestions now be
fore the committeewill bo entertained. It is
believed that the whole subject will next
wccU bo laid on tlio table indefinitely , so as
to await the result of the investigations into
food adulterations being conducted by the
department of agriculture.
The members in the house representing
the cotton seed oil producing districts are
wild against any bill which will prejudice
the products of their constituents , nnd de
clare they will make a fight against it and
renew the attack on hog products if
ttio bill is reported in tills congress.
Mr. Laird of Nebraska , who is a member of
the committee pn agriculture , nt the 'request
of his constituents , is taking an active in
terest In the consideration of this subject.
Ho says ho favors some kind of a proposition
which will compel articles to bo sold for
Just what they are , but ho does not want to
precipitate a row which will ruin the exports
of American hog products , and recognizes
that there is n good deal of bad blood engen
dered in the house over the agitation.
NEmtASKA MII.ITAllV LEGISLATION.
The house committee on military affairs

inlttcc or the Union Veteran League.
CHICAGO , May 0. [ Special Telegram to
'Inn BEE. ] A committee of the Union Vet
eran league last evening examined the widow
of General Martin Bccm , She adhered to
the shooting which she has already been
talking of. She s.ild she had been inclined to
conceal the unpleasantness of her marital re
lations , but slneo she has been the object of
such , bitter attacks she would llko to make
everything known , She asserts that ho had
been Insanely jealous of her for no good
reason ; that they had not sustained marital
relations for over two years , nnd she nlso
told how , when she wns abroad , Bcem in
geniously managed to Intercept letters pass
ing between her and her attorney , Suthcr
land , of Milwaukee , on purely business mat
ters , regarding her shnro of the legacy she
was trying to get. The committee adjourned
without learning anything of much account.
A local paper publishes accounts of Beein's
queer financial transactions to Into which
show him to have been deeply In debt and
very despondent when ho left for Nebraska.
The paper alleges that ho took $250 from n
poor widow to examine the title of some prop
erty. She was to pay that amount down if
ho found It clear and that ho Used the money ,
leaving the poor widow penniless. Several
other singular transactions nro charged
against him in the article.
Warning in Ills Will.
CHICAGO , May 9. It is asserted to'iilght
that the will of General Martin Bcem , whoso
mysterious death caused so much comment ,
contains a note commanding that if anything
should happen to him an investigation should
bo mado. The will was drawn up less than a
wcelc before his death. The probate
clerk refuses nn Inspection of the document
at present. The peculiar feature of ffio
trutrcdy Is the fact that if it is shown that
General Beem was murdered , his lifo insur
ance can bo collected by his sister in Alton
to whom it is payable , but if ns Mrs. Bccm
claims ho was not murdered at all but com
mitted suicide , his relatives stand no show
for the money. Tlio ro'ntivcs appear to be
lieve that hn was murdered , and are actively
co-operating with the Chicago Union VcU
craii league in ferreting out the mystery.

all of the New York delegates so far chosen
are for Allison second choice , their flrst
choice being cither Blaine or Dcpcw. Allison

A Boom On Natural Gas.
JEFFEIISON , In. , Mny 9. [ Spteial to Tnn
BEK. ] On Thursday of last week J. H. Gal-
lahcr , a citizen of Jefferson sold to a syndi
cate 300 acres"of land lying 1ust--wost of the
public square six blocks1ho ' 'consideration
being $31,000 cash , Last fijl.1 , wjilje workmen
were boring a weU in the. schoolhousc yard
they hcara a rumbling noise and ceased
work. After considering the matter a
while a lighted piece of paper was thrown in
when an explosion occurred which shook the
earth for a distance of 300 feet. This test
was tried several times with the same re
sult , other experiments followed , nnd lastly
the gas was run through pipes some three
blocks to the postofllce , where it was left
burning for several days and nights. The
hole was twenty-two inches in diameter , and
by the end of the week and before it wns
properly cased it caved in , shutting off the
flow. The weather becoming cold , nothing
more was done with it.
A few weeks after this ono B erly bored a
two-inch hole on ills lot just west of the
school house and when at tno depth of
eighty-eight feet he struck a heavy flow witli
a pressure of seventy-two pounds gas press
ure as used at gas works. When lighted it
burned to a heighth of fifteen feet and about
three feet in diameter. Experts have been
on the grounds and pronounced it a much
purer gas than is found in most places -cast
as it contains more oxygen , hence Is a hotter
blii/.o ; the flame Is intensely blue.
Your reporter is told that the company
purchasing the tract of land above referred
to intends boring a deep hole to test the
quantity of gus. This tract lays entirely
within the corporate limits.
The impetus that this has given has al
ready caused the price of rcalj estate to rise
in value. Over &iO,000 worth has changed
hands within the last ninety days and alt cady
several flue rcisdcnccs are In the course of
erection.
At this place commencing July 1 nnd con
tinuing through the month Is to bo held the
state musical normal , under the direction of
Prof. Bartlett witli n largo corps of teachers.
Already many applications have bscn re
ceived for board and fchoinrHhlp from all
over this and adjoining states and Is going to
bo a grand thing for a town of only two
thousand inhabitants.
The streets nro all graded , the pavements
around the snuaro are all made of concrete ,
and everything Indicates push and thriftl-
ness and if I do not miss my guess this will
bo a town of ten thousand inhabitants within
the next live years.
