il.izzllni ; splendor Old honor to Uunordl
George Crook. It was upon the eve of his
departure to nssumo the higher office to
which tlio recognition of his far fumed
record as n soldier ami citizen nad called
him. The adieu was a ruyn ) one royal nol
only in form , but In heart. Gru.it banns ol
rare , bright flowers ro-cehoed soul-stirring
benedictions whlca fl I Ivory tongues called
down upon the truest , of the evening.
Tho30voro benedictions born of uu appre
ciation never before surpassed In thU city.
And , too , wit , mirth and music were there ,
well completing the majjlo of the charmed
decision.
Yesterday there was another gathering ol
many of the ijuosts of that memorable occa-
Blou. Uut how different the Import of tno
Iiour. The pall , bowed heads , and subdued
words now spoke what Ray flowers and en
livening music had told the few mouths ago
farewell. The honored guest of the brill
iant banqueting hall was now being berne
to the grave. It was the farowull spoken
into limitless eternity , that so closely had
followed tlio good-b.vo wished for a limit
Bpanncd by time.
If n hundred did honor to him then a thou-
B.inii paid homage to his memory yesterday
at Itoyil's opera housn.

following :
"J'ho citizens of Omaha , assembled to
gether to signify their estimation of the
character of Major- General Oeorgo Crook
and thulr sincere grief at his sudden and un-
tit'joly death , do adopt the following resolu
tions :
"They deplore in common with the cntira
republic ttio loss of a soldier whoso con-
Hpicuous courage was rapcatudly tested as
\vollntSouth Mountain * . .Anlictatn. Chlca-
ihaugj , Fi her'H Hill , Widar Creek , Appo-
iiiuttox , at on the Rosebud , the Powder and
the 'J oneuo rivers , and the dollies of the
Sierra Mudro. With the peopleat largo ,
too , they recognize in his career the persist
ent purpose , tliu shrewd foresight , the untir
ing eneri'V , the wise humanity , the truth
fulness , thu patient firmness and determina
tion which oipeeinllj- lilted him to copu with
the savage tribes of the mountain and desert ,
una largely contributed to their present
complete imcillcation.
"To bis brilliant renown as n warrior ho
luldcd the no less imperishable fameof the
philMitroplst. His victorious award was
never stained with unnecessary blood. His
Icnighlly word once given was never recalled.
Hi * sympathy with the vanquished , the
ignorant and oppressed was ardent and out-
miokcu.t With his bravery in martial con-
lllct whs combined the .loftier courage of the
moral hero who'miihUu'ins hii own convic
tion of justice and right in the face of detrac
tion , rluiculo and acrimonious criticism.
lint tlio pcoplo of this city hnvo learned
in years of intimacy to cl orish thomcmoryof
Cicncrnl Crook , not only lor characteristics
patent to all his countrymen but for the
daily beauties of his life. Though gentle ,
retiring and unobstrusive , ho was always
Iiospitublo and ecnorous. Those who on- .
Jojoa his soeicty never hoard from his lips
un unkind word of foe. Ills manners were
winning , his habits' unostentatious. Every ac
quaintance became his friend , every friend
Ills lovor.
"A long period of cordial relations with
lilin and his family emboldens us so far to
Intrude- , upon the sacred sorrow of ono who
know better than any of us thai chivalrous
nature and kindly heart , as to assure tier
of our earnest sympathy and our
strong hope that she may find
in tne general and high appreciation
of bar husband's life , if not consolation ,
some assuagement of her grief.
"And the secretary of this meeting Is in
structed to transmit these resolutions to
General Crook's family. "
In moving the adoption of the resolutions
.ludco Savidgo made a brief and eloquent
reference to the warrior whom they honored.
Mr. Wcbstor spoke upon the adoption of
the resolution. "Ho who would do true
honor to the soldier in describing his exper
ience In thu battle , " said the speaker , "must
bo possessed of liner faculties than nm I.
ijoncral Crook came to this community
clothed with the honors ho had won in wars ,
nnd all in Omaha felt ami continued to feel a
just pride in him. Ho stands forth as the
great muu , Jlllod with great thoughts , and
yet when ho walked the streets of our city
tlio humblest hand could grasp his. "
Dr. Miller was called upon , but boirgcd to
Hiibsliluto Mr. Thurston. The latter began
hi * tribute by n reference to the organiza
tion known as the Sons of Veterans , of
which ho was a member , and said that an
Bucli it was happily inado his duty to assist
in keeping nllvo the memory of the heroes of
iho war. "The gentlest man , the knichthcst
soldier U no more , " continued Mr. Thurs-
ton , "and It is lilting that our tribute should
bo IIH simple as our sympathy U sincere.
Mighty and terrible in war , hU sword was
drawn only to secure pe.ico. Ho was tno
trusted companion and lieutenant of Grant ,
rShernmn and Sheridan. The watchword of
Ids Ufa was beauty. In his heart , George
Crook abhorred bloody war. Ho loved to sou
the scabbord rusting upon the cottngo wall ,
the knutisaek bolng pulled about the lloor
by baby lianas. His comrades Bleep
by river and by sea their gemirul
in with them now. Wo cannot BOO behind
the shadows , and yet wo bcliovo that God
lioepi a ulchoin heaven for our idol. "
Mr. Hursha snoko briefly. Ho said that
modest stillness aud humility characterized
the mo ot him who hud gotio. Ho said that
Guuoral Croolt gave the truest description
of the Indian when ho said that the Indian
commands rcspecti for his right * only BO
long a ho Inspires terror in bis rivals.
The resolution * were then unanimously
adopted. 9
Dr. Miller arose and said that ho would
heartily endorse all that had been said. Ho
believed that General Crook was ono of the
irroatoat generals of the day. lly the joint
iwlley of foruo and Justice General Crook
bad civilized this statu ten years before it
would otherwise have boon done.
I'rooocdlntr , the speaker wont on tel
l ut Crook ahead of General Grunt ,
nud closed by saying that General Crook was
bit ( the speaker's ) old und personal friend ,
Judge wakoley then moved the appoint
ment of n committee to prepare- memorial
which would embody the resolutions aud the
romurks thill had been made.
Judge Clnrkton said that it scorned titling
to htm that iouiotulng bo said of General
Crook by other * tbnu those who bad bt-on hU
old personal friends. The speaker had only
n pasting nei > uamtunco with tilm , and thero.

carry the principal parts splendidly. Miss

does that an audience falls In love with her

tbo piece , and seemingly with the greatest
of case , from un ordinary presentation
to the highest , most satisfactory and commendable -
mondablo success , not only demonstrated
her ability its an operatic artist , but was the
subjoot of enthusiastic comment. Miss
Vining ns the ( iucon was also greatly ad
mired. Will Rising sang and acted his part
excellently , though his line tenor voice was
not hoard to the best advantage last nlhl.
Mansfield und Cavnn , the comedians , kopttho
audience In good humor , and the chorus , weak
as to numbers , yet strong enough vocally ,
did good work. All in all , it was as enjoy
able an entertainment as has been seen at
the Grand this season. Many of the songs
were encored , and "Life Is Only Sunshine , "
had four . recall * . Ttio company is well
equipped for light opor.i and in concerted

should have turned over 10 him. Instead of
doing so , Schnurr went upon a
spree , and when arrested last night
said ho had spent every cent of it.
Churlea Gasconwas. . brought to the police
station yesterday morning with two fearful
gashes in his head. Ho was goaiowhnt in

walking along Thirteenth and Jiodgo streets
a man suddenly whacked him with n fence
picket. The ofllcors consider the story a very
thin one , and nro of the opinion tnat G las-
cow got in a row in some dlvo. He had $2
In bis pocket when brought to the station , a
fact which seems to show that the assault
was not made for the puruoso of robbery.

A woman's volco In a pleading shriek :
"Don't ! Oh , I pray , I bog of j-oU , don't
leave moor I'll kill uiysulf I 1 will us sure
as heaven 1"
The utterance was hoard about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon by roomers on the
sccocd floor of the block uarlliwost corner
of Sixteenth and Capitol avenue. They
rushed Into'tho hall just In time to sco n Una
looking young fellow tear himself
from the arms ot Mrs. Rose Williams ,
a pretty brunette , iho occupant of room
No. 1 ou the same floor. The young man dis
appeared Immediately , while she from whom
ho hud cs'-aped dashed to her room , nnd be
fore the lookers-on could nrroit her hand
bad drank the contents of a mysterious little
box , flung herself Upon n couch and gasped :
"Thorol I'vo done It at last taken poison.
It will bo ever soon , thank God ! "
The neighbors rushed for doctors nnd see n
had a couple of them present.
"I demand that you toll us what you have
taken , " said one.
"Morphine'Vaspod thowoinin , and added :
"Whon I'm dead send my little boy to uiy
folks in El Puso , Tex. "
Pulling out his medicine case the doctor
who had addressed the woman had a big dose
of bclludomi down her throat before she
could think a second time. By this time a
couple of.nnicers had arrived and asked her
to state the cause of her act , iJotwccn big
gvsps for breath she said that her husband
was an engineer on the Union Pacific rail
road , thoueh she refused to glva his initials.
They had not lived together for about thrco
years , but were not divorced. The young
man who had just made his' escape
from her was Peter Mllbroth , u Gor
man , who livtd at Ninth and Izard
streets , und drove u butcher's ivaon for the
Hammond packing company. Ho bad boon
calling on her for about a year uaat Und her
attachment , for him had reached a point
where she couldn't get.along without him ,
but ho refused to reciprocate her a'ffoctlons.
Iitto was nothing without him'aad so she
had decided to die.
"Well , you are not going to did this time ,
my lady , " remarked the doctor ;
"Vou'ro not going to saVome , 1 hope ? "
questioned the woman.
"No , not 'Koiug to''navo'you > for I'vo ' done
so already , " replied the doctor. ' '
"Well , I'll do It yet ; I will kill myself. "
' You say you have nothing to live for , "
remarked a reporter"Do you call your
little boy 'nothing' ! ' " '
"My folks will toke care of him. "
By this time thb dose whlolrthq Vvpuld-bo
suicide had taken made its appearance , it
consisted of sixteen one-eiijIitH grain mor
phine capsules , just the number marked
upon the box.
From the neighbors it was ascertained
that Mrs. Williams is u forewoman in the
Troy laurdry , und nouearcd to bo n very
thrifty little woman. Her room was very
cozy and comfortable.
Young Mllbroth was called on but de
clined to say a word , yes or no , when ques

The Cnmiiic Season Full of Promise

NEBIUSKA. CITV , Neb , , March 23. iSpocial
to THE 13EC.J The coming season
promises to bo ono ofthe most prdsbor-
ous for Neoraska City withln the history of
the town and will moro than ovor'demon-
strato the truth of the motto which the city
has adopted , that "solid growth boats a
Doom. "
The now wagon bridge across the rjvor nt
this point will bo the largest enterprise for
the j'oar und its accession Is duo almost en
tirely to the personal efforts of Hon. J. C.
Watson , president of the boar'd.of . trade.
The members of the bridge company nro all
eastern capitalists und connected with the
Phccaix bridge company ol Philadelphia.
They propose expending about S'JOO. 000 on
the bridge , and ask a bonus of $100,000 from
Nebraska City precinct , which will undoubt
edly bo voted by a good majority. Altupugh
there is some opposition to thobonds , , itwill
hardly assume proportions largo enough to
defeat tbo proposition. ' Nebraska City is
always ready to extqnd raateriat afd 'to any
worthy enterprise , and In this lies the city's
continued prosperity.
The bridge company is also .negotiating for
the purchase of the Nebraska , City street
railway line , und If it can bo secured it is
proposed to extend the line to the bridge ,
which the urojootors are confident would
provo a paying investment. The company
is also considering the feasibility of building
a largo , handsome lauo ut the end. of the
bridge und convert the island.iato n delight
ful modern pleasure resort. It will bo u big
thing for Nebraska City. „
The next largest enterprise assured for
this yuar is the starch works , for whloh > the
required $ JOOuutoek , ) has nearly all boon
subscribed. It Is to ba ono of the largest in
the country , nnd will bo a valuable addition
to the city's Industries. Work will probably
begin on the building early in tha summer.
During the past week another factory has
boon secured. An eastern gentleman offered
to remove to this city with u largo lock fac
tory , provided the city would donate tp him
three lots as a slto for the new factqry. , Hon.
S. H. Calhoun promptly stepped forward and
ottered to give the required lots , und prepar-
utlous are ulreudy under way to bring the
factory hero , It will employ ubou.t twelve
men continuously. Mr. Culhouti.geuc'rously
makes a similar offer to any other factory
that will locate hero.
The Nebraska City dlstlllory.Jt is pre
dicted , will ugnln be in operation within the
next throe months , as Its proprietor is con
fident ho will win his suit against the whisky
trust. With ttio dutillury , coreu , ! ' mills and
starch factory in oneration , Nobr'nska City
will bo the best market for cereals m the
state.
The Nebraska City Drivmg'Pnclc olid Pair
association buildings , wh'ioh were destroyed
by llro last tall , are being rebuilt and
preparations are being uiado for spring una
full races , with possibly n fair in.tho full.
Street paving will begin within few
weeks. The material to bo used \vJU be
homn manufactured brick , which will
doubtless bo the only material used Iu this
city In the future , ns it is pronounced to bo
superior to all others. "

desire to co well nnd good. This land will
thun bo under the ban of a twcuty-fl vo year

ally feels that such movement is detri
mental to the best Interests of the state and
is strongly opposed to it. The Poncas must
take the land within the limits of their old
reservation if they take any , nnd under the
Jaw they will have to , to a great extent , look

Hcc.l "If the republicans In the sonata
would show ns much interest In their party
as republicans do la the house , there would
bo n good deal of change In the sentiment of
tha country before Iho close of the present
session , " said Representative. Houlc of Ten
nessee today. Judge Houlc has boon ono of
the loading members of the house committee
on elections during the past thrco congresses
and has made some of the strongest speech'
es on the contests which hnvo boon decided
recently. Ho Is an Intense partisan and a
strong believer in the ability of the republi
can party to break up the solid south. Ho
continued : '
. "I bcliovo In going behind the returns In
deciding whether n senator Is entitled to his
seat. Of course wo cannot compel people to
vote , nnd every Mine legislature is chosen
by it minority representation of a state it is
not prlma facie evldenco that there has boon
a suppression of votes. Uut in nine cases
out of ten It is indicative of something
wroiuWo nro compelled to go behind the
returns in the house , qgd the country de
mands of the republicans and of tlia demo
crats the party having control In the house
to see that only men who receive the larg
est number of legitimate votes are seated. I
I sometimes think that the senators hnvo a
too high regard for 'senatorial courtesies , '
und that they arc afraid to enter into details
of un election.
"Thoro is just as much reason in going behind -
hind the returns in the election of a senator
ns there Ism entering into the primary fact
which resulted in the selection of a con
gressman. Tnero is no possible difference
in either the spirit or the letter of the law
betwceu the election of a senator and the
election of n mcmrjor of the lower house of
congreDs. If the republicans in tbo senate ,
when u democrat Is certified upon a vote of
one-fourth or ono-thu-d of the voters of u
state , go behind the returns nnd ascertain
why there was not n larger vote cast at the
election which resulted in the selection of
the legislature , they would ascertain that
there was u suppression of votes by violence
or n throat of violence , or that there was
fraud committed in the count. If wo would
only refuse to seat n few of the brigadiers
certified trom the south , und would do it on
the ground of intimidation aud fraud , we
would soon break up the minority repre
sentation of the south , and secure control of
some of the republican states in that section.
Wo offer no encouragement whatever to in
dependent and fair-minded democrats in the
south or to republicans of the south. The
republicans In the house have taken the
matter in hand and arc going to see that Jus
tice is done these men who go out with their
lives in their hands and make a race for congress -
gross ; but the republicans of the senate sit
meekly aown and talk about tbo 'dignity of
the law'tho constitution , ' etc. , and'seat
every bulldozer who Is certified by a bull
dozing governor. I believe that there are
not more than two or three dnmocruticstatcs
in iho south. 1 think that Georgia und
Texas are the only ones that would give
democratic returns if there was an honest
election and an honest count. The rank and
ilia of the democrats in the south are
heartily sick of the methods which have
boon employed to maito thp south solidly
democratic , and they only want to have
their hands strengthened nnd they will sco
that the elections bro honest. "
One of the most courageous men iu the
senate is Mr. Pettigrow of South Dakota.
Ho is ono of those who believe that intim
idation and fraurt nt the polls should bo
stamped out olleetuallv. Ho was familiar
ut the time of the methods employed by the
democrats to carry Montana , and which re
sulted In the certification by n democratic
governor of two democrats to the United
States senate , and which has just resulted
in a report from the majority of the senate
committee on elections in favor of seating
the two republicans who were certified by
legislative officers and thu lieutenant gov
ernor. A short time after the eight demo
cratic state senators ran nway from Helena
for the purpose of breaking ; up a quorum In
the upper branch of the legislature and preventing - -
venting the formal election of two republican
senators , ajul when it became known that
thcro would bo two sets of senators certified
to the sohiito hero. Senator Pottlgrow mot
ono of the oldest aud most'dignified republi
can senators , when the two men fell to talk
ing about the situation in Montana.
"I am thoroughly out of patience with
this tuing of handling democratic corruptlon-
ists and bulldozers with kid gloves , " said
Senator Pottlgrow , "and I think it is about
time for us to put our foot down upon it. I
intend to vote for the seating of the two re
publicans from Montana , und I do not euro
anything about more testimony than I have
m my inluct. "
' Ohl my dear senator , " exclaimed the
distillled old senator , who comes hero regu
larly certified by a strong republican ma
jority , "you should not express yourself in
such positive terms until you have hoard the
testimony in the case. It is not diplomatic ,
nor is it ut all judicious to say in advance of
the hearing of a case what your verdict will
be. "
"Well , " saia Senator Pettigrow , " 1 know
of my own knownlcdge that a powerful
copurutlon in Montana took ut least ono
thousand dagos into that state nnd put them
temporarily to work for the sole purpose of
voting , and with n view of securing its con
trol of the legislature , their objective point
bolng thu election of two United States dem
ocratic senators. I know that those men
voted ut the polls , and their votes undoubt
edly made u tie in the senate , which made
it possible by the running away of eight
democratic senators to break up a quorum
and defeat the formal election of two re
publican senatorial candidates. I know
that much about tbo case , und I toll you now
that I intend to vote to seat the two republi
can senators * from Montana , it not another
senator in our branch of congress votes
with Jiio. I am willing to stand alone on
this subject. I don't know anything about
the testimony nor I do not care , "
"O ! " continued the other senator , "you
should not talk that way until you have con
sidered the testimony , which will be pre
sented to the committee. "
"Your caution nnd your attitude , " said
Senator Pottlgrow , "reminds mo of u story
which is local to the people of South Da-
liato. My predecessor In the house of con
gress was u Mr. Uurlelgh. Ho had a friend
in ono of our well-known citizens who
wanted an appointment to a position In ono
of thu departments hero. After Mr. liur-
lotgh had presented the application of his
constituent ana had praised him for his
good character und merits till the
constituent reputation soared skyward , the
secretary of the department said this ;
" Thu position for which you apply is al
ways tilled by u lawyer. 1 presume your ap
plicant Is thoroughly vojscd in the law ! "
" 'No. ' i-opllod Mr. Hurlolgh , 'ho Is not a
lawyer ; but ho Is h 1 on equity.1
"Mr. Senator , that is exactly my position
on this Montana caso. I do not know any
thing about the law involved , but I a in nwuy
up on the equity. "
The farmers ore having their Innings now.
There aru a lot of propositions which may bo
rightly placed In the category of class legis
lation Intended specifically to help tbo
farmer. The proposition of Senator Stand-
ford , the twonty.milllonalro from California ,
to loan the surplus to the real estate owners
ot the country ut 1.H' or 'J per cunt interest ,
thus making money plenty aud obviating tno
nccimlty of farmers borrowing at from tl to
8 per cent , i * but ono of tbo principal propo
sitions. There Is a piojioslllon now pending
to pay a bounty on wheat. Another proposi
tion is to pay a bounty upon sugar beet * and
domestic sugar. Still another proposition is
to compel all manufacturers of Impure food
to urand It for just what it U , the same being
iu the interest of tlio pure lard. Then there
nro propositions to lucroano the supply of
scuds and bulbi ut thu department of agri
culture for supplying tbo formers , and to

the effect that this 1ms boon a very quiet

finding few settlers to eject. It npnuara
from the reports of the commanding olllcers
in the strip nnd from reliable newspaper
men that the situation there has been exag
gerated by the correspondents who were in
the field , nnd the Inhabitants of the border
towns which would bo benefited by a rush of
settlers into the strip. Reliable reports now
are to the effect that a great many iiooniors
were citizens of lho o very towns , and were
town lot boomers r.ithcr than bouu fldu sut-
tlcrs.
Exaggerated reports of the harshness of
the troops in dealing with the settlers also
originated from these towns , the object be
ing to arouse prejudice against the troops
and gain sympathy for the hotilers. Ono of
the latter exaggerations was hi last night's

struction by United States troops of Cherokee -
keo City. Prom the newspaper reports one
would bo led to beIievo"Cherokeo City'- was
