" The Sunday Boo published a communica tion from a local society critic which has met with unstinted denunciation , as will bo witnessed by a pcrusil of the following : OMAHA , Juno 7. To the Editor of The Beo. An article which appeared In The Sun day Dee signed Crem dc Mynt , Inwhtch the writer rccklngly ridicules the Omaha girl In particular , was an Insult to the Intelli gence of Omaha womanhood , a gratuitous slur upon wives , daughters , sUters and sweetheart * , and a Conglomeration of snob- ocracy Ideas so rank In nature that It left n bad taste In the- mouths of all fair-minded Omaha people who read the article In ques tion. tion.The assertion that Omaha women reach the border line of old maidenhood before they are married Is a slander which reference ot marriage licenses ence to the cinclal record censes In the county clerk's ofllce will refute. On the contrary the majority of Omaha girls marry at a comparatively youth ful ago not too old , Just old enough. Does Crcm de Mynl expect the Omaha girl to Blcp from the seminary to the altar ? or from Hhort dresses to the bridal trbseau ? There are very few chestnuts plucked from the matrimonial trco In Omaha. The apex of absurdity , however , was the statement that only ono girl In Omaha knew how to walk , and she had blue blood In her veins. Only ono who knew how to walk ! Header , dues not this foolish outburst of egotism from ono who posoi as a criterion nnd critic of a community causa you to cxpcrlcnco that fatigued feel ing ? At what pedestrian match did this cynic pose as Judge ? Where are his credentials as dictator ot the art of walking ? Why docs ho not hire a hall and gl\o an exhibition ot proper pcdestrlanlsm ? Does ho know tlio difference between loco- , motor ataxla and the gait of a person wh'ose feet are not mates , or dock ho expect Omaha girls to assume an affected regulation stride which will be the poetry of motion , the Crcm de Mynt walk as It were ? Ono would think that Crem regarded a young lady's accomplishments as being proficient In knowIng - Ing how to walk and how to dress with In difference to Intellectual pursuits. Crem must think that Omaha girls carry their brains In their feet. I'osslbly the tact that the ono girl In Omaha who walks In accordance with Crem's Ideas has blue blood In her veins accounts for her graceful carriage. Ordi nary people with prodilc , evory-day red fluid such as flows in the veins In the dis tinguished men and women of this nation will doubtless attribute their deficiency In gait to a lack of blue blood , and possibly the supcrsensitive may Immediately have their feet amputated and rehearse graceful usage of crutches. Crcm thinks that Omaha girls walk like chickens. Possibly Crem walks like a goose and expects every ono else to do the same. The reflections on the Independcnco of Omahans In their quiet taste for dress and Indifference , to the dictates of Dame Fashion are In full consonance with the balance at the ridiculous attack , especially that clause In which Crem egotistically referred to dodging around corners with extreme morti fication rather than meet an Omaha girl wup preferred simplicity of garb and per- 'inal comfort to Crem do'Mjnt Idea of dress. CrenY evidently caters to the good graces of widows. . Po4slblyho prefers wormed over affections , but most men don't. This remarkable adviser warns girls not to marry men who part their hair on the lido. Yo gods ! Does worthiness of husbands depend on the manner In which they part their hair ? The writer does not say whether the model matrimonial catch Is to part his hair In the middle , wear bangs , comb It like Jim Corbett's or part it near the back of the neck. Even the bald-headed men , who tenderly rub their surviving threads of hir sute with a tone ) , are ruled out. Crem sneers at the Idea of a western alliance In which the eastern capitalist would tlo up his wealth on a western girl. The west has been a Judicious Investment In the past and present for eastern capital. Records show that the fortunes of western girls who have wedded eastern husbands have frequently saved the husb'ands from financial ruin when adversity sfarcd them In the face. Crem says that the Omaha girls cannot conceal their love and that It bulges out on their faces. This Is a commendable trait a Jewel of virtuous womanhood. It Is bettor than wearing the mask of deceit. The only good sense displayed by Crem do Mynt was when , after writing such a. tirade ngalnst Omahans , the perpetrator read It over , listened to the whisperings of a strained conscience and sought refuge from pUMlc Indignation behind an anonymous Hlgnaturo , being too cowardly to glvo his name. .In conclusion , I hope that Crem do Mynt Will take something for his malady. Hero > ls a simple prescription : Two grains ot common sense , ono drahm of Justice , an ounce of unprcdjudlccd observation and a tablcspoonful of truth , shako well before using , take It regularly and keep out ot print. HELEN M. HOWAKD. 11 o In Dlncmoro l. OMAHA , .Juno . 0. To the Editor of The Bee : I must answer the very uncalled-for criticism of Omaha girls In.Tho Sunday lieo by ono signing himself "Crem do Mynt. " I pen this answer for suveral good rea sons. Ono Is because I have discovered the identity ot the critic , although I am not at liberty to disclose his name. Another rca- 501 } , , and ono which has displeased mo not a little , U that he mentioned a near relative if mlno , truly not , by name , but In an equally : ertaln manner. Many ot my acquaintances ( not friends ) have accused me of writing that very ungcn- tlemanly article , and I consider It my duty to vindicate the Omaha girl and also vlndl- , c te myself. This "Crem do Mynt , " as I know him , has always been a fairly good tollow heretofore , but when ho penned that disagreeable article ho must have been suf fering from dyspepsia , or his best girl had given him the mitten. In criticising his article ono scarcely knows where to commence. He IH so totally wrong In his ethics , or , moro properly speak ing , ho has no moral philosophy at all. So ciety and the abuses of nature are Identical In bis Tlaw. s. I fpmlly supposed ( hat the society spoken nf by this "Crcm do Mynt" was something rpflni'd and cultured , where Its members w * ro bcycnd the temptations of life. Yet be Would have us bolluvo that the honest marriages ot our fathers Is now out ot data in .smart sots , where the only union Is an alliance for worldly reasons. Is this not a beautiful code of morals to teach our young ladles ? And lot mo assure MrCrcm de Mynt , that those of us who are brothers or fathers do not appreciate ) his efforts to drag our Innocent slaters and daughters down to the level ot his baseness U would have boon better had he never como amongst MS , but gone to Paris where hla abominable Ideas would have been ap preciated for what they are worth. He scoffs at the Omaha girl's Innocence and makes fun ot missionary work , If she thould choose to thus occupy herself. Ho says she was Intended for a Sunday school teacher , and not a society woman. Par this again \\o may thank God. Thin crltla comes like the roaring llou seeking whom ho may devour , Bconing at Inwiranco and teaching the doctrines of hell Itself. He says that the Omaha girl will wear an Eaton jacket , shirt waist nml russet ihoes on Sunday. This Is an awful truth , ando must Klvo him the credit ot sajltic It. lie lilt * right out from the houK\ur \ wliprt lie upcaks ot packing house clerks and bank , collector * , and they'aro not deserving of any iympathy % as none ot them have had the gumption to answer him. t If I were a packing house clerk and took crltlcl m 10 badly at many ot Ihnni do I would U'dt tbe critic' * gcnUomanllneaa and Invlto him to an "affair" name summer morning at sunrise. Yet a llttlo crltlclim like this will do any amount of good , as long an the critic keeps aluot from mcrtd or mtlier hli ! m- moral subject ! ) . Ho tello the ladles not to marry a man who will wear & Rack suit to the opera. Thin , of course. In a llttlo ovcr- drawn , yet It H oil ( ho ladles' fault that men In Omaha do wear morning clothes to the theater , and just as soon ns they Insist upon It then wo will neo our gentlemen In evening dress after S o'clock. In ipeaklng- Crcm de Mynt personally I would say that his words should not be taken too seriously , for It la my candid opinion that ho Is not accountable for what ho Buys. Ho Is n man who has traveled considerably , but this has not broadened hla mind In the least , and the height of his conception Is just such a talk as ho gives us In his Dame Grimily article. Ho Imagines that he Is a second Oscar Wilde , nnd the Lord knows I would never do anything to u n de- col vo him. It Is ju < t as necessary for him to play with his Imagination as It Is for a llttlo girl to have her doll , or a small boy his marbles. I do not mean to hint that he Is an Idiot , yet ho Is either dreadfully unbalanced or Is possessed with a mad desire to advertise himself. And If It were on any other sub ject I would not bo the ono to otnlst him In this , scheme of his , yet It has afforded me great pleasure to champion the young ladles In the case , A. EDWAIID MILES. Will Jlcnr Watching. SOUTH OMAHA , Juno 6. To the Editor of The ilee : In publishing such words as those emanating from the pen ot Crem do Mynt In criticism of Omaha girls , the moral standard of society Is not Improved. The fusllado of supposedly witty remarks let loose on the character and style ot Omaha girls winds up by advising them not to fol low In the footsteps ot their grandmothers. " " said the would-be "Ono would think , - critic , "that women married for no other reason than to raise children. My dear girls , get those Ideas out of your heads. We do not have marriages these days ; wo merely enter Into an alliance. The propagation of the races Is left to the classes. " The virtuous girls of Omaha do not tolerate such diction. Will the young man whom The Dee announces to be nn "authority on good form , " please present his credentials ? Who Is ho anyway ? I wish to know In what exclusive circle ho moves , that ladles may avoid It. I Judge that he was "raised In the backwoods , " among the chickens to which he compares the walk of the Omaha girls. Ho Is doubtless moro familiar with the manner isms ot the \fllago maidens. His feeble at tempts nt brilliancy display a ; total Ignor ance of the ethics of good breeding. He cites New York girls the chances are that ho Is lost In the largeness of Omaha , Ho certainly knows nothing of the culture and cleganco ot New York City. The would-be authority on good form slurs the shabby street attire of bankers' daughters , whom he avoids. It Is a question If he has a bowing acquaintance with ono of them or Is possessed ot worldly goods sufficient to afford a change of linen. Let him go whence he came. Docs he think ho can come hero and sling mud at Omaha girls and sneer at sacred marriage ties and advise us to form "alliances , " which U open to several constructions and savors too much of French morals ? His advice. If followed , would soon plare girls of virtue upon the piano of the neml inondo. Ho says. "I mean that the young ladles should not throw themselves away upon thee clerks and" ready-made dudes , even though they may be manly fellows ; what society wants Is blood. " Of what noble strain of blood Is this mud sllngcr who so thinly veils his natural vul garity and hopes to create a sensation by airing through the press the cesspool of his thoughts ? From the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh. He sneers at Omaha girls as "too Innocent to sell themselves for money and position. " Ho assorts that sacred motherhood Is left for the lower class. We girls of Omaha have no use for men like him , who voice Immoral senti ments. They ore late editions of W. C. Brecklnrldgo. Ono who gives such ad vice to young girls as Crem do Mynt has done Is not to bo trusted. ONE OF THE GIRLS. , Tlio Acme of Conceit. OMAHA , June 8. To The * Editor of" The Bee : The young ladles who constitute and are the leaders of Omaha society were mo- pientarlly thrown Into a flutter of excite ment by the article signed Crem de Mynt In The Bee of last Sunday , written by an al leged society critic. After tho'shock , that would naturally strike any person of refine ment and good common sense , and they had a chance to think the matter over , they all came to the , conclusion that the article was written by sorpo Anglonwnlac , whoso brain would not outweigh that of a , hum ming bird , and that his unmitigated nerve was only exceeded by his slight knowledge of society and domestic felicity. His Ideas of manhood nnd female loveli ness \vero plainly set forth tiu his article , and In his opinion It Is far better to marry our daughters and sisters who have money , to some son ot a defunct blub blooded sire whose highest ambition Is to part his hair In the middle and wear the latest cut coat , and the bank clerk and packing house clerk and other young men who have brains enough to earn their own living nnd make a way for themselves In this world are to step aside and let a man who never earned a dollar In his life marry our dear daughters and sisters. The writer of this , although his travels have been limited , has found the society girls In other cities not * so very different nor vastly superior to the Omaha girls. Crom do Mynt's observations are evidently taken exclusively from the street , and It Is safe to say ho has never , entered the homo of an Omaha society girl , where had ho been ho would have found that the elasticity of her stop nnd the appropriateness of her gown would have pleased the most fastidious connolssseur. She knows from observation alone that extreme style Is bad form , there fore when she goes out shopping , for a drive or to church she dresses modestly , be comingly and comfortably , and oven If eho does wear n blazer jacket , russet shoes and sailor hat to church , admire her all the more for It. She Is not going out on dress parade ; she Is going to worship , and her head Is level , she Intends to keccp cool. I feel sorry , Indeed , for the person who thinks .so highly of himself .that ho would go around the corner rather than meet and speak to any of the Omaha society girls simply because they dressed so shab bily that his sensitive feelings wcro shocked and his effeminate nature outraged. And still , bo has the gall to cull himself a man. In my opinion , Crom do Mynt la cither ! > oino conceited ass who Is trying to create a sensation by the originality ot his pen , or Is of the lower order ot creation , probably the very thing Darwin looked for.

WYOMING'S ' BEAUTIFUL TOWN Lying Among 80,000 , Acres of Irrigated Land. SHERIDAN , DENVER OF THE NORTHWEST Wlicnt nnd All ( Irnllin , hmnll Fruit * , T.lgnnto Conl , Lumber nnd Gold Are Among lit rroilucU-Town I.It by Kloctrlo- Ity nnd Already Incorporated , There are 2,000 persons In Sheridan , Wyo. , and thcro are three school houses , four churches , electricity , water power , two banks , two flour mills , a planing mill , four hotels , tw& newspapers and a largo brewery. And just the other day there was nothing at nil. At least , there were some cattlemen who said the land was good for grazing. And so It was. And for other things. When the farmer comes the cattleman goes. And so the cattleman naturally endeavors to consign good land to an agricultural limbo by saying that It Is good for grazing which Is true so far as It goes thus dis maying the pioneer farmer. However , Sheridan has passed that stage and is a town , and In a while will bo a city. There's a certainty about that. And there are a number of reasons for It. Ono ot thcso reasons Is that It will remain practically the terminus of the B. & M. road In that part ot the country for a long tlmo to como. It Is a well known fact among western men that It la a great ad- vantaga for a young town to be the terminus of a road. And It Is also well known that when the road Is continued , the business Is apt to follow the road and go on to the next town. But the great Crow reservation lies twenty miles north ot Sheridan , and as the road runs up Into the reservation , and as no town can bo built on that , Sheridan will bo the center of the territory around her , and has no cause to fear a rival. No town of Importance Is likely to bo built north of her nearer than 100 miles. Sheridan Is 700 miles from Omaha and Is reached directly by way of the B. & M. But distance In these days ot steam Is estimated only by time. It takes only two days to go from Nebraska's metropolis to Sheridan. The first day's ride Is spent In passing through one of the most prosperoui parts of Nebraska. Then comes , the bleak sand hill country , during the passage through which ono Is fortunately In his berth and sleeping. The arrangements for meals are excellent , and as one stops at the brisk young towns \yltlch are the eating stations , ho cannot but perceive that ho Is getting Into the heart of the now west the west of irrigation , en terprise nnd electricity. For electricity Is used In these new western towns as the old est and richest cities of the cast do not use it. At Edgcmont , the leading town of south western South Dakota , the train enters upon the Black Hills branch of the Burlington , which runs through the beautiful valley of the Cheyenne , passes Newcastle , an Impor tant town , and scurts the fascinating country of the Black Hills. These recede from the line'of the road after a time ; the Inyan Cara mountains rise and disappear ; the < BeIlo Fourcho Is crossed ; the weird "Devil's Tower" Is passed ; the semi-arid Delf Bush country traversed ; the perennial Powder river encountered , and In tlmo the lofty peaks of the Big Horn mountains appear in view. The country Is wild and broken for a way , till finally the valley of the Big Goose creek appears , lying at the foot of the mountains , and with Sheridan In Its midst. This Is a beautiful valley , hemmed In with mountains , many of them snow-capped , and Intersected with rivers. Sheridan lies nt the confluence of the Big Goose- and the Llttlo Goose creeks , and In. the midst of 80,000 acres of Irrigated land. It Is almost unnecessary to say that the town was named after the great so'dlsr of that name. Indeed , the town Is one of many mill- , tary traditions. Conntr.CustoCarlln , Camby , * and Carrlngton streets are all named after generals who have campaigned In that region. And the site ot the town has been the home place of the Indians In more than one raid upon the southern country. It was hero that the Sioux , Arapahoes and Choyennes kept their families during the terrible Indian war of 18G1 and 1S65. Captain H. B. Palmer , the well known Insurance man of Omaha , has been associated with that district In Its sav age days , and during the summer of 1865 , when It took 2,500 men to guard the mall between Omaha and Denver , Captain Palmer was detached from the command of his com pany A , Eleventh Kansas cavalry nnd as signed to duty as acting assistant adjutant general ot the district of the plains , In which there were at that tlmo 17,000 troops , among "which there was a Now York regiment , part of a Virginia regiment , the Sixth Michigan cavalry , the Eleventh and Twelfth Missouri , the Eleventh and Sixteenth Kansas , the Second end Colorado , part ot the Second California cavalry , part of the Seventh Iowa cavalry and other troops. The territory In the immediate vicinity of Sheridan has long been known as the great hunting ground and the paradise , as It were , of the Indians. Every attempt at settlement of the country has been opposed by them. The fearful Phil Kearney massacre , where Colonel Fettermon and nlnety-thrco soldiers were killed , occurred twenty miles south ot Sheridan In December , 18S6. The famous Cuatcr massacre , -where the gallant Custor and 300 of his men fell , occurred seventy miles north of Sheridan. The Tongue river battle ground , 'August 29 , 1SG5 , whore Gen eral Connor wtiippod 700 Indians , killing 130 nnd capturing 4,100 ponies , was fought ten miles north of Sheridan. Captain Palmer was In this fight and , returning1 In the spring of 1SGG , ho made the attempt to become the first settler In this country , was captured In July , 1SCC , by the Indians and hold a pris oner several wjjgka , then liberated and forced' ' to walk througir'to Montana. Afterwards In 1831 ho associated himself In the cattle busi ness with T. L. Klmball , then general man ager of the Union Pacific road , and G. W. Holdrcgo , general manager of the B. & M. road , their ranch being located just north of the present town site of Sheridan. For ten years the town grew very slowly , supported by ranchmen , and gaining Its pop ulation from emigrants who wended their way to that far distant country In "prairie schooners. " The railroad flrst made Its ap pearance at Sheridan In December , 1892. In August of the same year the Sheridan Land company was organized , the three principal stock holders being Mr. T. L. Klmball , then vice president of the Union Pacific. G. W. Hoi- drcge , general manager of the B. & M. road , and Captain H. D. Palmer , together with three citizens of Sheridan , Messrs. Whltnay , Alger and Grlnnell. They were joined In the enterprise by Michael Cudahy , the pork packer , John Cudahy , his brother , P. B. Wecre , the elevator man of Chicago , C. N , Dlotz and H. F. Cady. wholesale lumber men ot Omaha. This company owns 540 acres of the town site. The town Is beauti fully situated , and , though the times have been fearfully tight financially. It has grown by the election ot flrst class brick buildings and fine dwellings to a city ot fully 2,000 people. The Sheridan Inn , built by the Sheridan Land company , the architect ot which was Thomas R. Klmball ot Omaha , Is built on the North ot England plan nnd Is an ele gant hotel , lighted by electricity and heated by Dtcam , and Is now kept by the W. F. Cody Hotel company , -our "Buffffalo Bill of the famous Wild West snow , " who has lately made some very large Investments In and about Sheridan. Ho Is establishing a stage line over the Dig Horn mountains to the Big Horn basin , thence to the Yellow stone park. Sheridan , like Denver , Is situated fourteen miles from the mountains. The mountains are covered with beautiful pine nnd spruce trees , and are full of wonderful canons and ravines. Every canon and ravine haa a brook , crcok or .river , and nearjy every ono ot them 1s filled with trout. T lie re ara hundreds ot beautiful lakes In the moun tains. Dome Lake , twenty-two miles aa the lira fil froni Sheridan , and Ten Sleep lake , forty miles away , being the largest. Dome Lake Is 9,000 feet above the tea. The moun tains are full ot elk , deer and mountain grouse. There la no finer country In tba world for camping ok. fishing parties. Tha choice season Is July , August and September. From September to the 1st ot June tbo mountain peaks are covered with now , som ot them having snow all the year around. It Is only fifty-five miles from Sheridan to the Dig Horn Ilasln.

For , whlln ittio farmer has forced the cattleman oft , to | ) ranges , ho has only confined him to thn , , , magnificent ranches of the country , and cattle , .and hogs are , and will long continue , to , b among the chief products. 4 Bonds have been ; vptod for water works , and the city Is soont.to bo supplied with the crystal water from thu mountain streams. Electricity Is already In public buildings , on the streets and In' ttfcelllnc houses , and when street cars ar i ncfcded , will , no doubt , bo the motor power. , The B. & M. road has made this a main division point , and their general superin tendent Is located there. H will bo the diverging point as well for two great branches of the road , ono to the Puget Sound country , the other to the Big Horn basin. Yellowstone park , Boise City nnd San Francisco. Largo shops will soon bo ofccted by the line at Sheridan. The cost of living nt Sheridan Is not as great as In many western towns. Garden stuff , stable food products. Including beef nnd pork , are right nt .tho door. Land Is not cheap , for It la too flno to bo allowed to go for a song , but the price Is reason able. able.Tho The country has proved to bo one ot the finest grain countries In the world. This Is n largo statement. But It Is a fact that the production -per acre of whi-t. ' , yalc , barley , alfalfa , corn an1 tltn > 'ii/ . h.is been unprecedented.

'I his variety of wheat Is named "Wyoming Am ber , " yielded forty-five bushels to the aero and weighed sixty-six pounds to the hiwhol. Wild hops grow plentifully nnd It Is prnb- able that tame hops can be raised , Vegetables , small fruits and apples grow excellently. Already the young apple or chards are bearing. In a country where the sunshine can bo depended upon nnd where the water can be had by oponfns a gate , and the quantity can bo calculated to a nlcelty , thcro Is no fear ot the failure of crops. What the potentialities of the mountains are no man may know as yet. Up at Bald mountain there Is placer mining , the gold Is taken out with the aid of an amalgator and the production Is rich considering that thus far the work has been largely ex perimental. Gold bearing quartz has also been discovered. But who can say what wealth these mountains may contain ? Sheri dan , like Denver , may build herself up out of the mountains. The whole country Is said to bo under laid with lignite coal , nnd the veins are being wo'rked by the Sheridan Fuel company , of which Dletz and Cady are more than half owners. The coal Is excellent for the mak ing of steam , but U not particularly good for coking , although the Introduction ot a washing plant Is expected to remove this de fect. The present output of the Cambria mines Is 1,400 tons per day , which could bo readily Increased to 2,000 should the de mand require It. The present production of coke Is nbout fifty tons per day. The coal Is richer In bl-producta than almost any coal In the United States.

The mountains aloiiR.tho timber line are covered with pines ot the sort that lumber men prize. Spruqo. and cedar also grow there , and along tjie streams are groves of cottonwood , ash , Iro'nwfod and boxelder.
