"Tlio talks ono hcnrs on the streets about A receiver for the Union Pacific , " said nn of- flclal of the company , "Is decidedly prema ture. No court would appoint a receiver un less It had talcen Into consideration the Varied Interests represented , flrst-mortgago .bond holders , creditors , the govern ment , nnd the roads operated by the company , to say nothing of countless other interests not appearing directly on the surface. Hover-ending liti gation would grow out of n receivership for the Union Pacific , and It Isn't reasonable to n-smno that the Omaha ty llcpubllcan Val ley , the Union .Pacific" , Denver & Gulf , Orogo'n Short Line & Utah Norther , St. Joseph & Grand Island nnd the other hrauchos would permit n total stranger to the properties to step in and ad minister the affairs. The government would have a say in the innttor , nnd It U just possible the interstate law plvos each state u volco In the matter so far nj protecting the miles of road within the etnto. 'Complication after complication would ensue nnd by the time the company's obligations wore Bottled nothing would be loft except the Iron nnd thn fish tilatcs. "Tlicro Is no moro reason for a receiver now than nt any time In 'tho road's History. 'SVe are mooting our obligations as'thoy'fall-duo. Wo are cutting down ox * iiun-sos wherever i > osslblo nnd everything Is being done that can bo done to counteract the docrcaMO in earnings.

"Ono hundred and twenty-live engines nro Idle in our shops and roundhouses , dud in some of the yards a thousand freight cars await the movement of the now crop. . "This is the condition that confronts our railroad peoplo. Mr. Mink , who goes to lloston to report on the situation , will prob ably make so mo recommendations nnd they will undoubtedly bo adopted. But a re ceivership at this lime I think entirely out of the question. " Lot Thorn < ! < > to Farming. J. K. Buchanan of the Elkhoru said , after rondlngTiiB BEE'S specials from Denver re garding the situation , "there mny not bo enough farming land tu the valleys of Colorado rado to warrant minors turning their atten tion to farming , hut the same conditions do not exist ns to the prnlrlo states. "Through the land olllccs of Nollgh , O'Neill , Valentino and Chadron 23,000 farms of 1GO acres onch may bo h.ul for the entry fees which I think nro 514. Free homestead . lands which only require careful farming to make as rich ns the lands adjoining them. When the Elkhorn built through to the Black Hills , the counties of Hall , Brown , ilock , Cherry. Sheridan , Dawos and Sioux , outside of the settlement at O'Neill , had scarcely 100 Inhabitants. Now these com- blued counties have a population of nearly 50.000. These people have made homes for themselves and are now Independent of almost every ono lu the position thov occupy. Suppose they did got the pick of the land , thrro Is still loft enough land for 15,000 people plo , and good land , too. which only needs i careful farming to make rich. The people i who will go Into that country today will 1 got the bcncllt of schools , churches , good roads nnd In n sense will ho better off ( lliiiu the pioneers who began life on these iiralrlns scarce' n. decade nip. Farming i ? 'hard'work ' , but tlio' man who would ruthc'r starve than do any hard work is not the man that Colorado of Nebraska wants. It is a -fact that cannot bo refuted , the farmer has always a market for what he raises moro ) than the cost of raising said products. Ho t | ! H moro Independent than his urban neigh- 'bor ' who today feels the depression while the farmer serenely looks on. If he has no market for his crops he can cut what he raises. Starvation has no terrors for him , Herein , then , It seems to mo , ts the solution to the present condition of affairs In tha mining towns of Colorado. Let the miners turn tholr attention to farming. " HurviiHt Jxi The .railroads are now advertising the harvest homo excursions which have been arranged for August " - , September 12 and October 10. Cir culars. pamphlets and tlyers are being distributed about the country calling atten tion of eastern communities to the advan tages which Nebraska , South Dakota , Wyo ming offer to the settler. Nebraska , which promises tu have the greatest corn crop In its history Holds out glittering Inducements to the eastern farmer who desires to leave the settled portions of the east for larger prospects In tbo west. Mr. Francis , speaking of the excursions said that it wns iinxmiblo | for the railroads to cull attention to the many advantageous districts traversed by his road , but was compelled to speak generally ot the situ ation. "Individual sections should look after tholr individual interests. They should organize and send men with advertising matter Into the eastern states , with a view of Inducing Immigration. In that way all sections would bo represented and grantor results could bo accomplished. " Short Ituim , D.

The experiment now bolng tried by the city in blowing out the points of the dri\-en well system is proving an unquestionable success.

"Ho that hath n board Is moro than n youth , nnd ho that Rath no board is less than a man. " Why men with ugly mouths : on passant , should shave , Is something which no follow can understand. Quito a number of Omaha men have sue- dumbou to the' Idea that they 'nro moro "fetching" with clean shaven faces , and ns a result are sacrificing what , to many , Is nn iniuprtnot element of good looks. Women 'have , been accused of blindly following the dictates of fashion. It is true they adopt extravagant styles of costumes , but It is n question if the women ot today would Klvo glvo up any natural adornment which con tributed In the most Infinitesimal degree to tholr good looks. Many men of many minds , nnd some of no minds at nil. nro llcelng to the barber , who with ruthless hand nnd razor keen deprives them ot what was once u source of prido. The man with the luxuriant mustache , the callow youth who after many days nnd much anguish of spirit has succeeded In lur ing a llttlo''down" upon his upper lip "leave their mirth and their employment" and await 'their turn to bo shorn of' this hirsute Insignia of manhood. A mustuelib Is a boon to a man with nn ugly mouth , and ho should think twice , thrice , aye , twdntv times , before submitting to the raor the shield which Kind nature has fur- nisho him. The bcatity of n handsome mouth Is enhanced - hancod by n "mustache ; white teeth always appear whiter when shaded by a softly drooping , uiustaoho. Apart from Its mission ns a bcautiflor , thereIs another point In favor of retaining the mustache , if there is any truth In the Gorman proverb that "Kin kuss ohno Schuurrbart , . 1st wlo cm "ol ohno Salzkissing will sink Into n state , ot Innocuous desuetude , for few womeh will cheerfully become a party to a transaction as flat and unprofitable as eating an egg without salt , wherefore It behooves "tho sons' of men the youth lu life's green springnnd ho who goes in the full strength of years , !

A certain young maii who \ras the fortunate owner of a line mu'staciio and. whose face was ex pressive"of "frankness and genial warmth before Ko fell a victim to the present fnd. After a visit to the barbo presto ! tho-ponial aspect was gone and in its place was a hard , cruel look , and there wore Hues about the mouth indicative of traits formerly "unsuspected. Study a man's' mouth , from a safe tanco , and you crtn read there a history of his passionslovo. ; . hate , wrath , all leave their imprint in the/ lines about the mouth. A mustache is not becoming to all mon. Each man should judge for himself whether his face requires a beard or a mustache. A man with , a flat , broad nose should not wear a mustache , as it gives him a brutal ap pearance. This fad of- shaving the mustache , in al probability , will not become popular. The ' youtiK'man with the "ah ! there" glint in his eye will hot part with his mustache , for ho regards it as the apple of his o.vo and a potent factor In attracting the attention of the coquettishly inclined young woman ; It Is a solace to him in moments of rclloctlor. , .nnd a refuge when , embarrassed. .During the rcigus'of-Louis'XHT. ' and Louis XIV. mustaches reached the zenith of their popularity. An elegant mustache was con sidered u sesame to the hearts of the fair sex , and the gallants of that period spent tlmo and thought upon tlioin. Although all the ancient Inhabitants of Europe worn beards at the earliest period of which any record "exists , the style of wear ing the face clean shaven with the excop- tlon'of the upper lip nas flourished during certain periods. Julius Ccesar is authority for the statement that the Britons merely allowed thomustache to grow. The Entr- llsh prin9cs"were in' the habit of wearing the mustache until the conquest of William the First , who compelled them to cut it off in accordance with the Norman fashion. During the-flfthicoutury the Franks wore long mustaches and In thu tlmo of Charle magne the upper classes wcro distinguished by wearing mustaches. Poles and Hun garian's'-as a rule" , wore mustaches. No Jt.irbor Shops in Kilen. Boards wore .introduced by Adam , for there Is a tradition to the effect that ho was -created with a board , and they have been ' moro or less' popular since. They nro gener ally worn by men > vho have crossed the merldian'of ' life , but frequently young men , for business purposes , cultivate a board , -hoping thereby to acquire an air of wisdom and iusplro confldonco in their patrons. Among the nation ? of the cast the beard Is ' a symbol of.'dlgnlty and wisdom. The fashion of wearing tbo beard has varied at different times. Tno monumental oftllgies of dead kings display the dlfferont styles worn by them. In ' the reign of Hdnry IV. of Franco there we're various styles distinguished , as the pointcd'beard , tnosqunro beard , the round beard , theaurcplo.board , the swallow-tailed board aiid.tho artichoke loaf beard. Ono of the most famous beards of history was that of th 'German " artist , John Mayo , who was called" John , the Boarded ; It reached the ground nnd ho was obliged to tuck it into his girdle. Homer mentions the white beard of Nestor. King itobcrt of Franco was remarkable for the possession of ono of the longest and whitest beards of his day. In the song of Itoland. Charlemagne Is called1 the 'King with the grl/.zly beard , There Is1 a story told by Plutarch of an old Laconlan , who , on being asked why ho lot his board ijrow to suci a length replied : "It is that having my whlto. beard continually before my eyes , I may do nothing unworthy of Its whiteness. " A remark which many festive gray beards would do well to remember. llonriU us Client i'rotoutom. Besides Doing ornamental the beard is a protection against many dlsoaucs of the throat and lungs , and the wearing of u beard Is especially recommended to these men who are employed in dusty trades , such as mil lers , bnkors , masons and engineers. In the Lancet of November U , ItiGO , there Is an article ou tup subject by Mr. Chadwlck , who says ho was very much struck by seeing Botno blacksmiths who vvoro boards , with their mustaches discolored b.v a quantity of Iron dust which had accumulated among the Imirs. Hoflootlng upon this ho concluded that had not the dust boon so arrested by a natural respirator , It must have found Its way Into the lungs , and therefore razors should be avoided by men engaged in labor where there Is a great deal of dust living. Although the beard ia an ornament sun- posed to belong wholly to the stonier BOX , there are instances on record where women have grown luxuriant beards. Burns.

This plat will bo turned over to Commissioner of Health Somers , who will have ono of his mon servo notice upon the Individual occupants of each shanty to vacate within throe , days.

Dr. Souiors says that the first stops will bo followed up in any effective manner nnd ho hopes within two or three weeks to have all of the squat ters removed from the streets and alloys. MIXOLOGISTS DISAGREE. liartenilera Divided lu Sentiment About Wearing the Whitn Apron. The Bartenders union , since Its inception some three months ago , has not had very smooth sailing , as most of thu experienced "mixologists" have refused to join , claiming that the organization was merely a ruse to glvo men who are only occasionally employed n chance to got a place to work and obtain good wages. Frantic appeals have been made to the Central-Labor union for assist ance In boycotting saloons that do not em ploy union bartenders or men wearing tbo white apron. Thus far the appeal has not struck a responsive sponsive chord in the hearts oftho members of the Central Labor union.

An Inquisitive Individual happened Into the city hall yesterday morning. Ho wanted "to know this and ascertain that"nnd his Inqulsltlvenoss did not tend to case the councllm'anlc feelings. In fact the gentleman had heard ot n great many stops the council hnd proposed to tnlro In the interests of thu taxpayer * , and KS some of the measures had been Introduced in the council nud nppur- ontly strangled to death lu the committees to which they wore referred , lib started out on n tour of Investigation. His llrst Inquiry was nfter the ttroot car transfer ordinance that the dear people have heard so much of and ttocn so llttlo. Thu gentleman found that the ordinance creating a systom.ot transfers had conio bofora the council In May nnd hnd been referred to n special committee of which Mctxsnrlo U chairman. Ho also found that McIKnrlo has announced half n hundred times moro' or less that the committee would report nt thu next mooting , or as soon nt some councilman made some moro changes dustrod. Thu ordi nance U still In the hands of the cotnmlUoo and it is apparently held Uicro with n do.ith- like grip. The Inquisitive Individual then sought to ascertain what had becomoof the ! > -cent faro across the brldgo. Ho ascertained that , the committees ot the two towns uro perform ing the extraordinary feat of wilting a reply from the bridge company oftlclals ns to what the company proposes to do. lu the .mean time the Inquisitive man is paying 10 Nconts aud Is wondering what the agitation was started for If nothing moro was to ho ac complished. This gentleman had once heard of , n cqun- cllman named Chris Spocht , nnd a great scheme Chris hail in his mind for compel ling the telegraph nnd telephone companies to contribute to the revenue of the city by paylm ? $1 each for every polo standing lla thu streets and alleys. lie hunted long nnd hard , nnd oven with the nld of a powerful glass ho was unnblo to locate- Chris or his polo taxation ordinance. Aknoit Aliuut Atucimiutiitii. Not many weeks ago , the Inquisitive man ascertained , the city council was engaged la the laudable enterprise 01 taking stops to levy an assessment for taxation purposes against the property of the railway com panies within the right-of-way , the Wagner and Pullman palace car companies nud the telegraph companies. The assessor hnd overlooked these and the council Intended forcing the companies to turn Into the treas ury of the city several thousand dollars to hulp along the maintenance of the munici pal machinery. lie found that the Union Pacific had rushed In to the federal court and secured n temporary injunction which for bade the city placing the property of that company ou the tax rolls. Ho. also ascertained that immediately after the serving of the 'papers the coun cil had stopped proceedings for two weeks pending a hearing of the motion to dissolve the temporary ordor. The two WOCKS have come and gene many times over yet the Injunction stnnds and the council has evidently forgotten all about the other companies and the proposed taxation. At the tlmo the adjournment was taken it wns expressly agreed that another mooting should bu held within two or throe weeks , aud that in case the hearing on the Uiilon Pacillu Injunction had not bqcn secured the property'of the other companies would bo assessed , notwithstanding the Injunction , which affected only the ono company. The mooting has not boon held , and there exists a deadllko sllenco regarding taxation against these companies. Mlrajo of a Market Homo. The man of the inquisitive turn of mind also heard that some months ago there wna n lively demand for the erection of a publid market houso. lie found that the stto wav agreed upon after weeks of delay and that finally the city engineer and building inspec tor have been directed to prepare plans and are novy doing so. What ho sought to ascer tain was how Ions ; a tlmo after the plans uro " submitted to the "council will bu required in getting the construction under way , and whether the building will bo completed m time to lease it for an ice houso. The gentleman wns worn out by this tlmo and ho did not have the strength to ascer tain how long it will bo until the council gets the now viaducts under way , reduces the monthly bills of the Thomson-Houston Electric Light company in accordance with the measurements of the lights forcandlo puweras shown by the tests of the elec trician , announces the public opening of the city hall , removes the river front aquattera and hundred * of other public mutters that have hung lire for time almost immemorial. 1'ULI.MAN'H CASK. Sir Georjro Una llren ItccolvliiRr the At- tenllnn ol thn City Attorney. CltyAttorncy Connell arrived homo yester day morning from Chicago , nnd will remain until the latter part of the month. A greater portion of Mr. Council's tlmo during the present week -has been la Item up with the Pullman Palace Car company tax caso. The case grows out of the effort of the- city list spring to force the collection of de linquent personal taxes of the company for the years from 1885 to 18S3 , inclusive. The company has resisted the payment of , the taxes und the suit now pending In the United States circuit court was brought by the company to restrain the city from col lecting the taxes. The testimony taken in Chicago was on behalf of thu company before fore Commissioner 13. C. Merrill , The or der for taking testimony at tilat time was served upon Mr. Council and County Attor ney ICnloy , the latter representing the county In the case , Mr. Kaloy was unublu to bo present. Under the equity rules of the federal court testimony In such cases shall bo tnkqif before a commissioner and un abmractof the sariio Hied with the court , the presiding judge pass ing upon tlio testimony tiled. Mr. Coiiuull conducted the examination of the witnesses on behalf of the city , and ho gives It as his opinion that the evidence adduced Is not very strong and rather a woalc case hau been presented. ' The company denies the juris diction of the city council of Omaha nnd the i.'omml.ssloners of Douglas county to assess the rolling slock for personal taxation pur poses , ullemiiL' that the headquarters and thu head olllccs of the company are located in Chicago. Also that thu tor mina of the company is Council Bluffs , that bolng the point where the cars nro repaired - paired , cleaned und housed nt the end of each trip. The chief witness was the assist- the general superintendent and his testimony was aimed to provo the non-juris diction of this city nnd county In making the assessment. Mr. Connull says that upon cross-examination the witness' testimony was very much weakened , do had never been In this part of the country nnd did not know whether Oinahu wns in Douglas or Pottawattamiu county , nnd In his explana tion of the operation of the company's busi ness hero ho was very nvich mixed , Mr. Connell will take depositions In behalf of the city bofora n commissioner early In September.
