Iltlon. "In order (he bolter to appreciate bla own
country every American ought to manage
ome way or another to visit the European
continent, liy contrast and comparison our
country Is o far superior that n portonal
observation of the old country makes a bet
ter American out of a man." Thus briefly
James L. Taxton, general superintendent of
the Union stock yards at South Omaha,
summed up the impressions of his recent
trip abroad.
Mr. Paxton returned Monday night from
a two months' trip through Oreat Urltaln
and the continent. In company with Hon.
Teter Jensen of Jansen, Neb., one of tho
United States commissioners to the Paris
exposition, and E. F. Swift of Chicago. Mr.
Paxton went abroad In April. Disembarking
at Qucenstown May 2 the trio began an In
tercotlng tour of Ireland, Scotland, England,
France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Turkey,
Russia and Germany. Hut few points pre
senting attractions to the American tourist
were missed, and, though tho journey was n
speedy one, enough time was devoted to
each point of lnteiest to thoroughly enjoy It.
"One of tho particularly Interesting ex
perlences of my trip," nald Mr. Paxton,
"was an accurate Insight Into Russian life.
As the guests of Mr. Jansrn, Mr. Swift and
I spent several days In P.ussla. We were
entertained by friends of Mr. Jannen, who
Is a native of that country and lived thorc
until he was 20 years of age. My ob
servatlons were highly Instructive. The re
sources of tho empire seemingly un
limited, and yet the people are In a great
measure benighted. Governmental restrlc
tlons are palpably detrimental to the ad
vancement of Industrial Intcrcste. Russia,
however, Is a little Improvement in
this regard over Turkey. In passing from
one country to the other one can readily
appreciate the Influence of the government
upon social and educational conditions. An
Imaginary boundary lino can almoot be de
termined by tho appearance of things. In
this way the traveler can tell absolutely
when he passes from Turkey Into Russia
and when he crosses the boundary of Russia
Into the German empire.
Knmilana Need Enlightenment.
"In Russia there la great need for en
Hihtcnment. The people are afforded only
that mental pabulum, as furnished through
the public prints, which meets with the
approval of tho government officials. I saw
newspapers and magazines In circulation
In Russia from which whole columns of
printed matter had been obliterated by the
censor. It Is easy to realize how warped
the Judgment und Ideas of the peoplo are as
the result of such methods. One cannot
wholly recognize the advantages of free
thought arid free speech until he Is brought
In contact with conditions existing because
of tho absence of such freedom.
"While In RurMa I devoted some time to
a study of affairs from tho standpoint of
the stockman. Russia cannot grow corn,
consequently that country will never be
a competitor of tho United States In the
production of beef and pork. Wheat, rye,
oats and barley are cultivated in limitless
extent, although the Russian agriculturist
leads a somewhat precarious existence awing
to the' vnr'e,rt8,lnty of ,hls crops. Last jear,
as is generally known, the wheat crop was
an absolute failure, and this year there
will not be more than a halt crop. In con
nection with the cattle Industry, let me say
that the United States will always be lookca
to to furnish much of tho meat consumed by
all of the European countries. No country
that I visited Is capable of supplying Its en
tiro needs In this direction. The outlook
for an Increased export trade of American
meat certainly appeals to me as being ex
traordinarily promising.
"Whllo In Pompeii I had the pleasure of
viewing some beautiful pictures which bad
Just been excavated and were relics of the
period prior to the destruction of that city.
The pictures bad evidently at ono time
adorned some palatial dining room. They
represented fishes swimming, and the work
bespoke the wondeiful skill of the artists
of that time. Art In all of the centers of
Europe attracts more than passing Interest
from every American tourist, irrespective of
his artistic temperament. The most prosaic
individual cannot help but marvel at the
beauties reproduced by the masters, and In
every big city on the continent tho art gal
leries arc tho center of attraction.
Sntr the Pnaalon Tiny.
"Nothing charmed me moro in my entire
season of sight-seeing than a visit to tho
Passion Play at Oberammergau. In or
der to reach tho Bavarian Alps, In which
the play Is at present produced eich Sunday,
1 cut my Intended visit to Stockholm and
Copenhagen and hastened through to Mu
nich from St. Petersburg in order to be In
time for tho Sunday performance. Tho
Passion Play Is the event of Europe. The
production begins at 8 o'clock in the room
ing and continues until 5:30 In the after
noon, with an hour and a half intermission.
The book is in German, but a translation
accompanies the program and at the con
Druggist

"After having a mishap, I suffered
with nalu in tnv left side and a Hncerinc
ccugli which rtcw worse and worse,"
writes Mrs. Cora Brooks, of Martin,
Franklin County, Georgia. " Last
spring I got past doing anything and my
husband went to the drug store and
called for Wine of C . and the mer
chant recommended Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, so he bought one bottle
I began to take it aa directed in the
pamphlet wrapped around the bottle.
The book said if the disease was compli
cated with cough to take Dr. Pierce's
ooiaen Medical Discovery nnd I'avor
ite Prescription' alternately, and Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, on rising every
morning. Mr. Brooks went back to the
drug store and got the 'Golden Medical
Discovery,' and I took it as directed.
The couch left me at once nnd I bcsrati
to get better 6o rapidly my husband wa
astonished at my improvement. I am
bow able to work on the farm and also
Co tut wathlug for two famucs."
clusion of the play I hardly realized that It
bad been prtsented Id German. The acting
of these simple folk, remote from contact
with the world, was truly remarkable. No
actor who has gained fame in America or
Europe could do so well. These peoplo
throw their whole souls Into their acting.
It Is to them tho apex of their religion. The
play wa witnessed by a large audience, SO
per cent being Americans. The price of ad-
mltsion was 10 marks, or about $!.S0. The
play Is produced only for a season once In
ten years and the revenue derived from its
production is eufllclent to keep the partici
pants during the Interval.
"I spent thirteen days In Paris In attend
ance upon the exposition. It was a gre.it
disappointment to me. It Is the consensus
of opinion by all Americana that the expo
sition docs not compare with our World's
fair. Architecturally It Is qulto satisfying,
but the exhibits are incomplete and do not
fulfill any one's expectations. The grounds
are poorly laid out and extend over a vast
area In a rambling sort of a way. The
Seine runs through the grounds and does
not add to their beauty.
"Tho attendance at the exposition Is ty
no means as large as was expected. There
are comparatively few Americans there, but
I think the steamship companies arc rc
sponsible for t h In, as car'y In the sceson
they ral.-cd thilr rates nnd circulated re
ports that reservnuons wcro all taken. As
a result many Atnorlcsns who contemplated
Fotng abroad were deterred from doing so
and are going to the seashore Instead, while
the steamers are now croslng the ocean
with their accommodations not more than
half taken.
"Everywhere In Europe Americans are
treated with the greatest of courtesy and
consideration. Tho peoplo over there teem
to feel that they are honored In being ablo
to entertain the representatives of a coun
try which thoy generally recognize to be
the greatest in the world."
A YOUNG LADY'S LIKE SAVED.

Dr. Charles II. Utter, a prominent physi
cian of Panama, Colombia, In a recent letter
states: "Lest March I had as a patient a
young lady 16 years of age who had a very
bad attack of dysentery. Everything I pro
scribed for ncr proved ineffectual and sho
was growing worse every hour. Her parents
were sure she would die. She bad become
so wek that sho could not turn over In bed
What to do at this critical moment was e
study for me, but I thought of Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy
nnd as a last resort prescribed it. The most
wonderful rosult was effected. Within eight
hours she was feeling much better; Inside of
three days she was upon her feet and at the
end of one week was entirely well. I shall
always prescribe this remedy in similar
cases, for I have the utmost confidence In It."
FURNAS SWEEPER WORKS WELL
Nevr Street denning .Machine Tested
and Dora All that Was
Claimed for It.
The new Furnas suction street cleaner
did Its first work on the Omaha streets yes
terday afternoon. Tho machine was tested
on Farnam street. It swept a space ten
feet wldo on the north Bide of thnt
street, between Twentieth ruJ Fortieth
streets, to the entire satisfaction of the
city engineer and other city officials who
Inspected the work. A gutter cleaner pre
ceded the Furnas machlno and loosened the
dirt that was packed down near the curbing.
tarnam street had not been cleaned for
some time, and In some places was covered
with large quantities of sweepings, which
the new pleancr picked up and disposed of
without making any dust. All refuse was
picked up with tho exception of gravel and
pieces of brick, which aro too heavy for the
suction created by tho powerful fans of the
n.acbtne. Where the ptreot was free from
gravel the asphaltum was cleaned as per
fectly as could bo done by hand sweeping.
Tho large- red and green wagon, drawn by
fcur horses and followed by a crowd of men
and boys, caused quite a stir on Farnam
street, and evoked much comment. It la so
noiseless and ml yen so little duat that It
was Impossible for people on the street cars
to guess what It was. Hard coal Is used
in firing nnd the 6tnoko is so Blight that
it is not noticeable.
HAS MANY FRIENDS IN OMAHA
Major liee, Wounded at Tien Tain,
Was Well Known In 9Illltnrr
and Social Circled.
News of the wounding of Major Jesse M.
Lee In the engagement with the Chinese
Boxers at Tien Tsln was received in Omaha
with expressions of sorrow by the officers
at the headquarters of tho Department of
the Missouri, many of whom were well ac
quainted with him, and by several of tho
older residents of Omaha, who remember
Major Lee as a popular lieutenant of the
Ninth infantry when that regiment was sta
tioned nt old Fort Omaha.
In 1S82 society In Omaha was to a great
extent In its formative stage and the officers
at the fort and at headquarters were mild
lions. Lieutenant Lee was one of the most
popular of the officers and tbero are some
Omaha matrons whose pulses will beat
quicker when they recall the dashing lieu
tenant who led the germans. After
hU service at Omaha Major Lee
became military agent nt the Spot
ted Tall Indian reservation and con
ducted the Indians on several trips to the
cast, where their head men were called by
the government. He left tho Indian service
for a captaincy In his old regiment.
Captain Erwln, who was with the Ninth
In the Philippines, says that Major Leo was
one of the brightest and best officers in the
regiment and was well liked by officers and
men.
REVELRY IN JEWELER'S EARS
Month Omaha I.rjjluln torn Directed to
Divorce Snlnon Keeper and
Dealer In fie inn,
An alternative writ of mandamus has
been issued by Judge Keysor directing the
mayor and council of South Omaha to con
vene at once for the purpose of revoking
the liquor license of Fred Uumph, 2412 N
street. The defendants will be allowed to
make a showing on July 21. The writ was
loin el on the plea of Arch L. Coleman, who
conducts a Je'velry store next to the room
used as a saloon. Coleman says be went to
trouble and expense In establishing himself
In butlncss when tho council granted a
liquor license to Rumph. The saloon Is sep
aratcd from the Jewelry store by only a thin
board partition, which offers no obstruction
to sound, So when the Jeweler is engaged
In showing his wares orders for beer aud
tho sound of revelry are perpetually In his
ears. He believes his customers have been
driven away. The case was decided against
Coleman In the district court, but he now
enters the complaint that he was not given
kufilclent tlmo to die notice of appeal.

Ilux I'nrty Decided Today.
No qucon has fallen, no earthquake has
struck north Nebraska, no cyclone has re
distributed the occupants of the palace of
the upper six In Omaha, and still there was
a good deal of voting yesterday. When
everybody la voting there are fewer changes
In rank than when the ballots aro cast spas
modically, so the lack of changes Indicates
rather the steadier voting and apart from
that It also Indicates a tendency to rave the
larger part of their votes for the final cli
max rather than use them on slnglo day
spurts.
Through error tho names of Miss Kate
Kern of Oraaha and Mlis Mabel Adams of
Council Bluffs wcro omitted from the lists
In The Beo yesterday morning, causing tome
readers rosslbly to Infer they bad abandoned
tho contest, but nothing was further from
tho truth, as both candidates are still In it
and we hope may bo "In It" at the close.
Misses Albce, Kern and Crane occupy the
favored lines that will claim private boxes
at Boyd's tomorrow night, but It remains to
be seen whether all three or any of them
hold tho right level In tomorrow's score.
There surely are several candidates Just be
low who are sufficiently near to pass them
by If thoy are not careful.
A number of Inquiries have been made as
to the exact time of closing the contest Sat
urday and for tho benefit of all Interested
parties we will say that votes must all bo
deposited in the ballot-box In The Beo of
flee by 6:30 o'clock p. m., when tho contest
In tho Omaha list closes. The contest out
sldo of Omaha nil close with tho last mall
wo take from the poatofTice at 9 o'clock p. m.
VotcB for Omaha candidates received by
mall after 5:30 will not bo counted. Parties
out of town are cautioned to send in their
votes if possible the day before and It re
quested not to voto them until Friday we
will hold tho votes for Saturday's count.

COMMISSIONERS GOING EAST
Purpose of the Junket is to Investigate
Suburban Oar. Lines.
WANT TO KNOW IF THEY ARE PROFITABLE
Offlclnln ThlnkliiK Serlonul)- of Tro-
motlnir nieclric Ilnllwnya In Doug
las County If Their Inres
tlKatlon Is SntlMfnutory.
The county commissioners are laying
plans for an official tour of the cast, the
objective point being New York, and all ex
cept Harto will leave on Saturday.
The purpose of the junket Is to
mako inquiry into tho most improved sys
tems of suburban electric car lines In use
between large cities and outlying districts.
Tho commissioners are thinking seriously of
promoting such an enterprise In Douglas
county, hut do not wish to take any active
steps until they have made an investiga
tion. The board expects to be absent until
early In August.
The plan of suburban car lines through
the county has been maturing for several
months and has recently been stimulated by
the Commercial club. Tho farmers are anx
ious for the Improvement, as it would glvo
them virtually the advantage of a city resi
dence. Cars could be provided also for the
conveyance of grain to market and the ben
efit to the agricultural districts would be
Incalculable. The towns which have been
candidates for electric rail connection have
been Valley, Elk City, Millard, Bennington
and Florence.
The only objection which has come from
residents of the county has been raised by
merchants of the small towns, who fear that
the direct city connection would Interfere
with their business. The advocates of the
plan urge that the same objection was onca
brought against railroads, but that It later
proved that the peoplo In any case will trade
where they please.
The nrlnctnal question In tho minds oi tne
commissioners Is whether the county could
build and operate such a road at a profit.
The matter of cost of construction and op
eration will be gono Into at full length when
the commissioners take up tho matter with
eastern operators.
At its meeting Wednesday afternoon tne
board cranted the year's contract for steel
and Iron bridges to Robert Drake, on the
recommendation of the brldgo committee.
The notltion of the Douglas County Agrl
cultural society for funds to conduct a fair
was refused. The board did not believe that
tho society has fully compiled with tho
statuto under which such appropriations
may be- legally made.
An appropriation sheet amounting to $12,
722 ku read and approved.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY.
HAS HEARD NOTHING OF IT
IHHhon Scmiiiell Dlncredltx tlic Story
Thnt Otnulia In to Heroine nn
Arehlenliicoiial Nee.
"Absolutely nothing concerning the rais
ing of the sec of Omaha to an archlcplscopal
dignity has been raado known to me. It Is a
rumor similar to several that have been cir
culated recently and probably was not given
out by any one In authority," said nl&hop
Ulchard Scannell when asked concerning
advices from Washington which intimate
that Oraaha is to be honored with an arch
bishopric. "It Is the policy of the church to
make a province of each state when the
population Is large enough to demand It and
txa the largest center of population In Ne
braska Omaha will no doubt be at the head
of the church in this state srmetlme In the
future, but that may be long after we are
dead."
Many years ago the bishops' of Iowa, Mis
souri, Kansas and Nebraska were in charge
of the archblfchopric at St. Louis. Tho see
at Dubuque, Ia was elevated to episcopal
dignity and tho bishops of Iowa, Nebraska
and Wyoming were placed under the Juris
diction of the Dubuque archbishop, while
Kansas and Missouri remained In charge of
tho archbishop of St. Louis. The member
ship of the Roman Catholic church In these
states has increased greatly since the last
chango and demands the establishment of
additional sees and tho result will no doubt
be a division of the territory now controlled
by Dubuquo and St. Louis,
"Our losses In China have probably been
very great. I have no doubt that large
numbers of sisters and priests and mission
aries have been slaughtered. Our missions
in China are much more extensive thau
those of any other church. One thing that
will enable our church workers to escape It
the fact that they have adopted the native
costume of the Chinese and can escape de
tection much easier than persons who have
not fallen In with the customs of the
Orient," said the bishop. "Tho inevitable
result of the massacre will be the partition
of China and It Is to bo hoped that the great
powers will not get Into war among them
selves over the division of the spoils."
The Appetite of n fiont.
