BP.K.I It may bo authoritatively stated that
Uio railroad dovclouraonts in the near future
will bo of great interest to the cltlzons of
.Lincoln. A prominent business man re
turned last evening from a trip to Chicago
and Omahn , whither bo had been called by
appointment with the oftlclals of the Hock
Island nnd Northwestern railroads. H < J laid
before General Manager Uurt , of the Fro-
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , a
of facts concerning the wholesale
of Lincoln and the doslro of this
ito secure additional facilities to iho west
and southwest.Mr. . Burt Informed him that
Jils company had in contemplation the ex
tension of its system from Lincoln In t.vo
directions- a line directly west to Hast
ings nud the other southwest to Superior.
He further stated tlmtthoro was a possibility
of thevJ extensions being built within the
year. The action of the company would de
pend entirely , of course , upon the sentiment
of the eastern Investors. The prosperity
which Is Just boginnlntr to dawn upon No- '
brasicu had already attracted tbo attention ot
eastern capitalists and it will undoubtedly
havu ( i stimulating effect upon rallioud do-
volopmout in the near future.

C , II. Thompson , representing the Uock

purpose of examining the proposed right of
way through the city and reporting upon the
advisability of its occoptanco. Ho Inspected
the route already designated In these
columns , but gnvo out no Intimation as to his
decision. In connection with the depot
project It may bo mentioned that representa
tives of the Rock Island last evening inado
nn offer of $ tr > 00 to Thomas Beach for his
property on the corner of Twentieth nnd O
Directs. It was n tempting offer , but Colonel
Beach desired tlmq to think it over. This
morning ho Informed the representatives of
tha road that he had concluded to nccopt ;
but In the moantlmn they had boon thinking
it over on their own account , nnd surprised
tbo colonel with iho statement that their
offer had boon withdrawn. However , it may
bo stated that the property will eventually
bo purchased at the prlco stated.
Tlmjer ItimxtM Hilly llryiin ,
Governor Tlmyor continues to bitrbor n
fooling of resentment and dUgust at the
action of Congressman Bryan on the rosolu-
tiou to send relief 10 the starving Russians.
' Yesterday ho gave vent to hU Indignation as
fallows j
'Yes , Bryan , our Billy , has opened his
mouth In congress and put lit * foot In it ;
yes , both feet. It wa freely predicted that
tils inordinate propensity to hoar himself
talk would do him up in six months , but ho
lias dona it much sooner. Ho has inado u
iccord on tbo proposition for this govern
ment to send free of charge the offerings of
the American people for tbo starving popu
lation of Rnsila , and has o commended him-
iclt to the southern members of the houso.
.Ho Is exhibiting an amount of cheek
which is colossal. Yes , there Is another
term more commonly used to express that
commodity , which is gall. Now members of
ponrrcsj. have universally shown some dis
cretion , Tiioy have remained quiet during
tbo flwt unssion , and sometime * through tbo
.congress before attempting to make thorns -
s conspicuous , They unow the rules
ways ot the house , and have acquired
the respect of tbo members. But this mau ,
llryun , seems to Imagine tout ha Is the com
bination of wliJom , und that ho u going to
Instruct the house of representatives and tha
country. Ho had the bud taito to lujoct frco
trauo Into his speech on the resolution which
hiul passed the souato in favor of
frco transportation for our farm
products to bolu the suffering
people in another country. Ho lugged the
McKlnloy bill Into It anil said that European
laborers had been thrown out , of employment
inconsequence of it. To liavo attacked .the
McKlntoy I/ill In connection with the resolu
tion betrays an extraordinary want of Judg
ment and'common sense. His talk upon the
resolution was wcalc , punv and contempti
ble. It was discreditable ; but lot him go on
In the way ho has begun and nothing raoro
than his owu acts and speeches will bo nccos-
snry to make tbo people repudiate him in his
own district and stato.
"Tho defeat of the resolution by the house
offers another proof of tbo saying often
hoard , 'Give the democrats rope enough and
they will hanc themselves. ' It has been pre
dicted that that party , with its over
whelming majority In the house of repre
sentatives , would furnish the republican
party In the coming presidential election all
the campaign thunder it needs. They nave
begun it already. They have shown their
hostility to Rujsla by their votes on this
resolution because tbo Russian govornmnnt
stooa by this country In tbo time of Its great
trial , the war-of tbo rebellion. The opposi
tion was led by two confederate brigadiers
from Alabama. It is the first opportunity
they have had In congress of manifesting
hostility to Russia because Hussin was our
friend.
"If General Jackson had uccu allvo or had
lived from 1801 to 1SUO ho would havospowod
the duuioerutlc party out of his mouth. Ho
would nnvo spurned and denounced it'by
the eternal,1 as unlit to llvo. Jackson wS a
hero and a patriot. Ho lovoil his country
with An Intensity that cannot DO described.
Ho notlltcd Calhoun and his cohorts that if
they dared to advance one inch with their
treasonable schemes ho would bang them ,
nnd it ho bad been president in our war time
ho would have hung Jeff Davis and his
loadlne followers. Ho would have boon n re
publican.
"If tbo dead arc.ovor conscious of what
transpires here below , the actions of the
domacrntio party in the last thirty years
would have boon sufficient to cause Jackson's
bones to rattle In his collin. For the democ
racy to moot in the nuinu of Jackson and
claim his fame as peculiarly their own is an
insult to his memory. The democrats would
bavo been the object of his wrath , for ho
hated treason. His fame belongs to his
country. "

Commissioner Luddcn has received another
big liith ; of letters from different parts of
tbo state tendering corn and aupollos for the
Russian relief fund.Vllliam" London of
Oinaba writes : "Having noticed in the
newspapers the hind offer -of General Man
ager Holdrogo of the Burlington route to
transport grain for the destitute in Russia
frco of charge , I would state that I will con
tribute a car load of corn to bo loaded nnd
shipped at Odell on any date you may
specify. "
The Clay county commissioners have inado
an appropriation to pay for n car load of
corn and wrlto for shipping directions. The
( Jasper county board has dona the same.
Thomas county will send a part of a car leader
or coud Its equivalent in cash. Tim Russian
farmers living in the vicinity of Henderson ,

will nmlo it COO.
Irrigation hi NubnuliK.
iTho State Bureau of Labor and Industrial
Statistics has boon requested by the Depart
ment of Agriculture ut Washington to com
pile statistics upon the subject of Irrigation
In Nebraska , and tbo ofilcers of tbo bureau
are already hard at work on the matter.
Information is being gathered in reference )
to the cost of preparing land for cultivation
under irrigation , average cost per aero of
Irrigating ditches , etc. , average cost of
maintaining ditches , acreage already covered
by irrigating ditches , mileage of ditches ,
number of reservoirs , cost of ditches and
reservoirs , cost of water supply to the user
per aoro. cto. The Information to bo gained
by the answers to the questions above out
lined will undoubtedly throw a great deal of
light on the subject , in which n great many
people of the state are vitally interested ,
Mr. llurron * ling Itt'itlgmHl.
Joy Burrows has voluntarily loosened bin
grip upon the State Farmers alliance. At
least , such is the Inference from an announce
ment made today. Ho say * tout ha will
positively decline to bo a candidate for any
position , whatever , in the state alliance. The
announcement is also made officially that Air.
I'owors will not bo a candidate forra-oloction
as president of the state alliance. In view of
the many suggestions of a heated con
troversy that was llltelv to arise at the forth
coming session of the state alliance the above
announcements uro looked upon us especially
significant In alliance circles.

The State Ranking board held a brief ses
sion this afternoon , to listen to the argument
of Attorney John Whitmoro of York , in
behalf of the North American Loan and
Building association of St. Paul , Minn.
When the now law governing the operation ?
of national building ana loan associations In
this state went Into effect , the above com
pany was shut out for the reason that its
constitution and bylaws came In conflict with
the law of Nebraska. Mr. Whitmoro
explained at length the difference between
the Nebraska law and that of Minnesota , ana
maintained that the difference was merely
technical and one that can bo easily obviated.
The board reserved Its decision until Monday.
A number of the board made the statement
that even if the company referred to amends
its ovlaws to comply with the Nebraska la.v ,
it will then como in conflict with the Minnesota
seta law , and under the provisions of tbo
Nooraslra law a national building and loan
association must not only make its bylaws
conform to our state law , but with the law
of the state from which It receives its
chatter. In other words , on association of
this character cannot have two snts of by
laws , ono for Nebraska and one for another
slate.

A l.ennoii for Dilatory
AVniicrs.
A wedding that occurred ono evening the
post week in the north part of the city hud
connected with it a little slory lhat was not
printed in the account of the nuptial cere
mony.
Tao bride , who by the way is a very prepossessing -
possessing young lady , had lust passed the
Ihroo-quariers post on the spinster race
course that unmarried women lira supposed
to pass over at n very slow pace with no at
tempt whatever to break the record , ami to
this fuct are undoubtedly duo some of the
rather unusual occurrences that preceded
this wedding ceremony.
Bo that a it mav. It is certain that for
three years last past the ntorosald young
lady has boon engaged to n certain young
hoiniuopathlo physician- who looked anxiously
forward to the day when ho would fool uble
to support a wife and take unto himself this
hoping , trusting , waiting maiden who finally
accumulalod such n stock of deferred hope
that she crow sick at heart.
But the doctor was loth to lix the day. A
mouth ago ho Invested aorno of bis surplus
cash In a diamond ring that soon afterward
adorned the foremost linger of his intended.
Even then ho was unable to name the happy
day , but hopefully picdletod as before tha't
It would bo "only a little longer. " It came
sooner than ho thought. A famous coacher
for a certain base ball team once remarked lo
a timorous basorunner that "Ho who hesitates
is lost , " but the matrimonially Inclined doctor
never played In that team , hence ho never
received the bonoilt of such Invaluable
Instruction , else this sad tnlo might tint have
boon written. Ho persevered In his fatal
procrastination , mid neglected to got a cinch
on the lleotlug moments.
C'umn Onl of the Wont.
Ten days ago a good looking stranger came
to town and called on the family of which the
young lady is a member. Ho was warmly
received , and then it transpired that ho
was renewing the acquatntaticoofothordays.
Ho was nn old schoolmate of the young
lady , but had not soon her nor any of the
family for seven years. > Ho had boon Im
proving hli time , howovon , nnd was general
superintendent of a bank account ot vorv
respectable proportions. All in nil , ho was
decidedly eligible , ana furthermore was In
search of n wifo.
Ulght here lot It bo stated that the pro
spective mothor-In-la < v had never 'regarded
the suit of the medical practitioner with
laver , but the newcomer , enlisted her sym
pathies at onco. She nut only encouraged
him , but sot to work td muko lior daughter
likewise smile upon him. An availing at the
theater was followed by ( i proposal of marriage -
riago , but tlmo was demanded traforo giving
un answer.
The young lady scut , ( or the doctor and
laid the case before him , She said she bud
waited a peed while nnd lifo was short and
tlmo was Hooting. If ho xvas about ready nil
well and good , hut if .uut she was sorely
tomptoil to embrace the other opportunity ,
< iu MI Iliu-k Iliu IMiimoml.
The doctor was thunderstruck , and said
that if his atllancod wife could for u moment
consider such a proposition bo didn't know
but ho was willing for her to accept It. The
indignant lover little thought that ho would
bo tossed aside , and when tbo girl said she
would think over the mutter a while longer
ho thought the day was won. That was an
other time that ho was mistaken. The girl
pondered only another night , and the next
day the now suitor was accepted with as
much nvlulty a was consistent with good
tasto. The doctor was again sent for , the
ring was returned , nnd he was informed that
his brotherly affection would bo warmly
cherished ,
That was all , so far ai the doctor was
concerned , for the wedding of his inamorata
and his energetic rival occurred on the lol-
lowlng evening. Six months of Iravol Is the
next thing on the program , but the doctor
will not bo ono of the tourists. Ho will stay
at homo and oat crow , and alternately curse
nnd bless his peculiar luck and the maternal
ancestor of the woman ho did not marry.

An olllcor writing to the Army and Navy
Register regarding the bill recently Intro
duced by Senator Proctor says :
"Considerable interest is taken uy all first
lieutenants In the bill rocon.tly introduced by
Senator Proctor for lineal promotion. Sev
eral petitions are being circulated in regard
to this mattar. No signatures have boon
given at this post , as nil wo ask is to Do loft
alone. Ono petition Is to tbo effect that it
lineal promotion is to take effect it should
begin with the captains as well as liouten-
ar.ts being put lineally where they would
have Deon If lineal and not regimental pro
motion had boon la effect until recent legis
lation went Into effect. Captain Bailey
Fourth infantry ( oosulos his war serv
ice , which in this case , of course , could not
count ) , has been over twenty-threo years a
lieutenant. Other oUlcers have been getting
their promotion after n little ovov ono-halt
that time , und in order that certain oftlcers
could get their double bars llr.st lieutenants
wore specially oxccptod In the provisions of
the bill. Now that they arc provided for
the rest ot us must conform to this measure.
Changing the register so much would , of
course , cause a great deal of ill fooling , and
yet if It Is just In the case of lieutenants in
ought to bo equally so in the case of cap
tains. Senator Proctor's bill will ohango tho-
promotion , nnd consequently tbo present
status of llrst lieutenants , very materially ,
nnd will , of course , bo very seriously fell by
some , while causing pleasure to others. "

from the War department convening a court-
martial to moot in Cleveland , O. , on January

alleged shortage in his funds. The
shortage amounts to less than } > 00. It
was discovered whan Major Overman trans
ferred his accounts preparatory to coming to
Wellington to relieve Colonel Halns. When
ho was controntod with the allegation ho as
sorted that the discrepancy In the accounts
was wholly duo to n clerical error that could
bo explained. Old enemies , bo claimed , who
hud harassed him before had taken advjui-
lace of the errors to maico the charges In
order to ruin him. Ho was given an oppor
tunity by General Grant , acting secretary ,
to make an explanation to the department ,
nnd permission was given him to visit Clovo-

delayed his reply for so long , however , that
