The decision of the state su preme court last Tuesday declar ing the Akers' irrigation law to be constitutional, insures the rapid advance of irrigation interests in western Nebraska. The fact that there has been some doubt as to the validity of the law has retarded the formation of districts for the con . structioh of ditches, but as the, way is now clear a number of new ditches are likely to be built under the pro visions of the law. There arefTome, however, who believe thata iavorable decision from the United States su preme court upon the validity of . the measure would tend to increase the marketable value of - the irriga tion district bonds. We believe that these bonds will find a reason- ably good market without a decis- tion from that high tribunal. Nebraska's only populist con gressman, Omer Kem, writes to a Chicago newspaper in response to a circular of inquiry that he has in .. mind legislation of vast import ance to all the people and would certainly present it to the coming session of congress did he not be long to the hopeless minority. Inas much as both branches of congress, the executive and the court, are against him, he hardly thinks he will present anything in the way of legislative (bills. Does this mean that Nebraska is to secure no ben fit from one of its six representa tives in congress? Does it mean that its populist congressman is to keep locked up in his mind all those great ideas of such vast importance to the American people? Is he go ing to deprive his constituents of the advantage which his projected enactments would bring? In the name of Nebraska we insist that Congressman Kem introduce his . . bills and let their merit win their passage. Bee. SElATOK THTDUTOlf AST) THE 17. ?. Senator Thurston has prepared a ''bill dealing with tlie vexed Pacific railroads question which, he willin s troduce at the coming session of congress. The gist of this bill is: Take a statement of the govern ment's claim against the main line of the Union Pacific as it will stand July 1, 18, between the Missouri river and San Jose and offer it to the highest bidder who will give forty or fifty per cent of the princi pal or interest snd make that tlie-i minimum, and thereby the govern ment will get half of its claim, This claim to be sold to one pur chaser who will have complete con trol of the system and all its prop erties. One court should have com plete jurisdiction over a foreclosure suit that provides for the sale of . the property to a purchaser com- raittee to be created as a corpora tion. This plan meets with the ap probation of the stockholders and receivers. JUDGE JTEYTLLIAXDKIS KSHE. The Lincoln Journal of last Tues day contained the following bit 01 political gossip: Gloom in large chunks is gather ing slowly but surely around Gov- ernor Holcomb's congressional boom. The situation grows more interesting every time the Gover- " nor shows his hand. He showed 11 in the recent election and the voice of Judge Neville, a dyed-in-the-wool pop is heard in every breeze that sweeps from the west. The judge is credited' with having good, sound political sense and it is noi necessary to tell him why Governoi Holcomb made three trips to Bill Green's district and did nothing iu . the neighboring judicial district. The governor knew Bill Green would not be in, his way in the pop congressional convention, but he. feared tliat Neville would. The action of the governor in stumping - Green's district and failing to turn his band for Neville is now common talk among the populist f riends 01 Neville, and that gentleman has a "big knife ready tor use at the proper time. He is so angry thai When he talks about it his voice can be heard in the next block. , THI TJERXAT 01TKE IU9AX TSUIT. The sugar trust is said to have warned the Nebraska jobbers that if they buy the product of the beet sugar factories in Nebraska, the .trust will hereafter refuse to sell them cheaper grades of sugar. The expectation is that the output oi the Norfolk and Grand Island fac tories will be of a value of $800,000 and about one-third of the consump tion in the state. Wesaall soon find out whether the sugar trust owns this state. It it does it is about time to give it a. quietus. If Nebraska sugar manufacturers are not to be allowed to markettheir productjn this state, we must endeavor to ascertain the reason why. Iri the meantime what has been done about enforcing the anti-trust laws a the statute books by the democratic adminis tratioa?

Continued from Tuesday's issue. CHAPTER ILL The conversation was interrupted by that young lady, who came forward to meet them, with both hands extended ! and her gown .trailing behind her in a way that disgusted Tom beyond meas ure. He had read of women who wore trailing gowns, bat it had never been his misfortune to see one until now. To his fastidious mind it seemed shock ingly untidy, and an untidy woman was, in his opinion, the most pitiable spectacle imaginable' "I. thought you were never coming, Tom, dear," said Daisy, taking Bis hands in hers and smiling up into his faca "And now that you are here I have a great mind to keep you all to myself. "I want to get acquainted with him,' she added, speaking to Mr. Parkhurst "I presume you know that we are en gaged to be married?" "Tom has told ma I'll offer congrat ulations when we are alone." "I believe he means to kiss me, " re plied Daisy, looking at Tom. "Shall you allow that?" ' r1-will answerwhen I am sure of his intentions," replied poor Tom. ' "He thinks you could .not make up your mind to do it," said Daisy, turn-. ing to' Mr. Parkhurst. "He doesn't know how we behaved when you were in Wheatlands, does he? It seems ever so nice to Bee you again, dear Mr. Park hurst. Let us sit together on that couch in thecorner, where we can ralk over old times." "I thought you were going to give your exclusive attention to Tom?" . "I have changed my mind. Tom has ra squint that makes my eyes ache and his cars are ever so much too large. -I think I shall like him better if I see very little of him. It is quite necessary,, yon know, that we should avoid becom ing too antagonistic, foi;we muse spend a great deal of time together." Daisy's voice "was soft and sweet, but verylear. .Tom was quite sure that several of the callers who had happened in had heard her allusion to his squint- "Shall you alloio thatt" ing eyes and his large ears the only defects by which nature had sought to mar an otherwise perfect exterior. Tom was very sensitive concerning these de fects, and liis frieuds had humored his sensitiveness for so long a time that he had begun to believe that no one noticed them .hut himself. Miss Daisy's criti cism did not serve to increase his love for her. Tom tried to make himself entertain ing to Stella Manning, another of Mrs. Ridgway's nieces, but he could not keep his attention from wandering to the lit tle figure in the gay gown of black and yellow, satin sitting beside Parkhurst "You don't like her dress, I see," said Stella, following his glance of cold disapproval. "Daisy always- did have the oddest taste Mn dress, and no one can persuade her that it is not perfect. Gray hair, smoked glasses, bare, arms and shoulders, painted face, corsets and bustle. Did et r any one see such a combination?!' "It is not modern certainly,' replied Tom, trying not to sheer. 'I believe there was a time when all society ladies dressed in that way. In these days of -common sense obedieuce to the laws of beauty it hardly seems possible. " "Daisy has a perfect mania for col lecting old things. They sayit is a characteristic' handed down from a grandmother, who would give as much as would make a poor family comforta ble for a jear to possess a rickety chair or a soiled head rest or any equally use less thing that had been owned by a person of distinction. " "Do you know that to bo a fact?" asked Tom eagerly. It had occurred to him that if such a mania could be proved he would have sufficiently good grounds for breaking his engagement to Daisy. The law was not meant toen forco marriage with one who had so questionable an inheritance for the com ing generations. - "I do not "know Daisy intimately," confessed Stella, "although she is a cousin, but I have reason to believe it is a fact. A great many persons have told mesa" "Can you give me the name of any of themr" "You Eeem to doubt me,J' replied Stella coldly. "I ought to have remem bered that you would naturally require proof of anything said against the young lady to whom you are betrothed. " There was peculiar emphasis on the word "young" that Tom did not fail to notice, but what troubled him most was the very evident fact that Stella was displeased. He felt that she had in formation which might be of great use to him, and that he must exert himself to propitiate her. "I asked," he said quickly, "not be cause I doubted you please believe I could not do that but for an entirely different reason which I should prefer j not to mention just at present " "I beg that you will aot mention it at all," interrupted Stella, with an as perity that caused Tom to wonder whether there might not be more than one of Sautter's cosinwho -had a bad' temper. "Excuse me, please," she add ed, with frigid politeaees. "L.wish to speak with aua tie;" Stella croMftd the room and pretended to button bar aunt's glove while she murmured : "Oh, my unfortunate toogvei I'm dying tojaugb,' auntie. I came very near getting myseh! into trou ble justaowl' It was decided that craning that Dai sy should attend her first reception oil tbe following week. It was to' bo given at the ekgant home ofr the. De'Quin- ceTi,"who w ere con s I tkered the wealth- j Highest of all in Leavening Absolutely pure lest, most refined anil most "benevolent family in the state. " Will this dress do to wear?" asked Daisy of Tom when the reception had been planned by Mrs. De Quincey and indorsed by Mrs. Ridgway. "I want to please you," she added "since it will be the'nrst time we shall appear in so ciety together. " "If you will pardon me for saying so," replied Tom coldly, "I do not like this dress at alL" "Do you not like colors? I seo so many ladies here in white." "I do not like colors, and I detest stripes and spots and checks and every thing which tends to make a woman look like a peacock. " "I am so glad I have a white dress," replied Daisy .as sweetly as if Tom had 'not been in the least ungentlemanly in his manner of speech. "It is of white silk," she added, "so stiff as almost to stand alone, and it rustles .when I walk like wind blowing through the corn. It has a train three yards long, and there are no sleevea at all just a little strap over the shoulder. It is trimmed with passementeries which sparkle with every movement, and I have some beau tiful jewels which were left me-by my grandmother. Do not fear that I shall not make a sensation. Even you, who, I am told, have broken the hearts of so many girls, cannot fail to bo satisfied with my appearance. It will bo simply stunning." Think what that was to hear from he lips of a girl to whom one was be trothed in a land where the perfection of stylo was expressed in the words "beauty unadorned adorned the most;" whero jewelry and beads and passemen teries were looked upon as relics ofbar barism; where only savages dressed themselves iu colors ; where the natural form and complexion were considered most beautiful; whero trailing skirts were looked upon as an almost unpar donable evidence of untidiness ! Think how it must have sounded in the ears of p. man who. was the acknowledged leader in the art of beautiful dressing. The fastidious Tom could not find words to express his disapprobation of the gown she described. It seemed to him that, in the faco of such utter lack of appreciation of the beautiful, nothing b'e could say would have the slightest effect He was reduced to a state of helpless speechlessness quite foreign to fiim, but his companion chatted as in cessantly as if she believed him to be infatuated with her conversational pow ers. Tom could not but admit that her Voice was exquisitely sweet and well modulate It vibrated most pleasantly upon his .sensitive ear, and its charm was not diminished by the use of poor diction aid a faulty pronunciation. It would have been a delight to him to listen to her could he have sat with closed eyes, even though she talked only of trivial things. Sne reminded him of the characters portrayed in some of the novels which were, supposed to represent society as it was between the years 1870 and 1886. In his fine condemnation of that age, as represented by Daisy, be failed to see that he himself showed a share of the inheritance handed down by the parents of those days in that love of luxurious ease which had been suf ficiently strong to tempt him to place himself in his present unhappy position. . "I think, Mr. Wainwright," said Daisy quite suddenly, "that already you repent your proposal. Am I not good enough in your opinicn to help you evade a tax which every honorable man should be willing to pay? Or do you think yourself worthy of the best, no matter what tfee you wish to make of her? Does your exquisite taste r6b you of the instincts of true manhood?" There was a touch of sarcasm in the soft voice that cut Tom like a knife. He tried to give her to understand that he would not tolerate such insinuations, even from a woman, but he could not speak. She had shown him a, picture of himself which he despised, yet which he could not deny. "I intend," continued Daisy, rising j and confronting him, "I intend to hold I you to your proposal, because it suits i my convenience to do so, but I wish you to understand that you have not inspired my respect and that I do not caro to sec you except when you must appear as my escort I am disappointed in you. X had thought, judging by what my cousin wrote, that you were a gentleman." "MayX ask howl have displeased you?" asked Tom coldly. "You have shown that yon are disap pointed because I am less beautiful than Sander pictured me. Do not try to deny it. I have seen it in your eyes from the Brst, butr I should like to ask who and what you are that you give yourself the right to criticise my personal appear, ance. A man who, to continue his selfish indulgence, will-resort tcTsuch methods as I am helping you to carry out, and who, instead of showing proper appre ciation of my good intentions, sulks in a manner most conspicuous and insult ing because I am not beautiful as a pic ture!; You shall carry out your part of our contract, Mr. Wainwright, or suffer the consequences I shall expect you to be here in good season to escort me to Mrs. De Quincey'e, but I do not care to see you again in .the .meantime.- vYou need not fear that I shall exact much sttsbtibii- fnom you when once we are there.- I am not quite so unattractive as that would imply." She swept him a mocking bow, and, walking away with the air of an em presa, joinedthe party of young people who had gathered around the piano in I me music room. u.ne next moment xom heard her singing with young De Quin jcey; and, angry as he was, he coulel not help paying a silent tribte:to her beau tiful voice. "j :"If she were only half civilized," he mused, "and not quite so ugly but, .no, even bor voice does not make her en durable!" Tom quietly left the house, without a word of parting to any one, and made his way to his own room. He had never been more thoroughly wretched. He felt that, in one respect, Sander's deecrip-. tion of his cousin had not been at fault Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking Powder sho did have a temper! "Heavens," Jie tbougfct, - wnat a punishment it would be to a man. to be obliged to go through life -with such a virago 1" CHAPTER IV. During the days which followed, Tom grew thin. His appetite fled, and lines of worry were deeply drawn m his face. His lawyer assured him that he was a fool for showing his annoyance so plain ly and by that means giving his friends so good an opportunity to discuss his af fairs. "They will mistrust that you are hard up," ho said, "and then you will lose prestige. I am ashamed of you, Tom. Why don't you brace up and bo a man about it?" "I wish you were in my boots, Park hurst" began Tom. "I should liko it of all things, my boy! Handsome, refined, popular, wealthy what more can a man ask? As for Miss Daisy, you are blinder than you need to be about her. She has a cer tain'power of attraction that more than one of your acquaintances seems to ap preciate. I saw her out riding yesterday with young De Quincey and today with Walton Humphrey. ' ' "You didn't!" exclaimed Tom in amazement. "I certainly did. You might liave seen her also had you not been moping here in your room. There have not been so many callers at the Kidgways in years as there have been since Miss Daisy came to the city." Tom brightened up under the influ ence of the lawyer's information. It is wonderful how much easier it is to en dure a person when one discovers that he-is sought for among the idlers of so ciety. Tom began to think that he might at least endure what Do Quincey and Humphrey deliberately sought. He be gan at once to make preparations to at tend the reception at the De Quinceys. Half an hour ago he had decided to send word that he was too ill to go, trusting that she micht accept tho excuse. He decided to dress himself with even more than his usual care and to appear so brilliant that his unhappy manner dur ing that last evening at the Kidgways would be credited to the premonitory symptoms of tho indisposition which had followed. Ho was grateful now to Parkhurst for having spread the report that he was not feeling well, although he had been annoyed when his friends first began dropping in to make inquiries concerning his health. 'i'oni never looked better tuan ne am when standing beforo the grate in Mrs. Ridgway's sitting room, waiting for the appearance of Daisy. He heard her voice in the hall, and, summoning a po lite smile to his face, turned to greet her. The heavy draperies before the door were pushed aside. Tom advanced a step or two and stood faco to face with a vision of loveliness which fairly took his breath away. The smile became more genial as he 'softly explained that he was expecting to seo Miss Blake. "I am Miss Blake," replied the girl quietly. It was Daisy's voice surely, but what had become of the gray hair and the smoked glasses? Where were the heavy eyebrows which had met so sternly over the glasses? Where was the unsightly black patch which had adorned one cheek? Where was the ugly wart which ho had seen on the side of her nose? "You are disappointed once more, I percerre," said Daisy, breaking the un comfortable silence which had fallen be tween them. "I presume I might as well explain, Mr. Wainw,righr, that I have been act ing a part. 1 wished to convince myself that you were as perfect as my cousin Sander repreeented you to be. Shall we go now? It is growing late." " You were fortunato in having such able assistants to make your little com edy so eujoyablo," said Tom coldly. "Oh, you need not blame your friends I No one wanted to do it at first, but I persuaded them to change their minds. Sander may not have told you that I usually havo my own way. " Once more Tom was speechless. It was not difficult for him to believe that so charming a girl always had her own way. He would have turned against any friend he had for tho sake of pleasing her, but to have his friends turn against him was different. "I suppose Parkhurst knew," he said after he had helped Daisy into the car riage and taken a seat beside her. "Oh, yes," replied Daisy, changing to the seat opposite, "Mr. Parkhurst knew. He was difficult to persuade, however!" Tom thought how Parkhurst had tried to persuade him to appear perfectly sat isfied with his engagement to Miss "You arc disappointed once more, I per ceive" Daisy, and he could see that if he had followed his lawyer 8 advico he would now be-in .a. position to laugh at his tor mentors. Tom realized that he had blundered, and he' did not know how to retrieve himself. He cursed himself and all his friends, but that -did not help matters in the least In a few moments the carriage would stop before the door of the Do Quinceys, and the silence be tween himself and that vision of loveli ness.oppo6itawas rapidly becoming more uncomfortable. Tom would have liked to establish & friendly relation before he met his friends, thinking that by so do in c he could make his own position lew 1 cnmcuit. "I presume," he began, "that there m no expkrMtiom" "I think I shall ted it easier to for get if 'yosy,'Qhing," interrupted Daisy coldly. Tom ventured no farther remark, and the two entered the bouse, in -silence. "Why did youdo it?" asked Tom of Parkhurst, when a little later he had the pleasure of seeing Daisy surrounded by the most eligible young men in the room and making herself delightfully agreeable to every one but himself. "Because, Tom," replied the old law yer gravely, "I thought it would do you good. So did Mrs. Ridgway, who, ad you know, has always taken a motherly interest in you. You will pardon me for saying that you were becoming too firm ly impressed with the belief that, tho best of everything belonged by right to yourself. Da not get angry with me for saying so. Remember that I was an old friend of your father. ' ' Tom was angry. He was angry, and the more he thought of it the angrier ho became. It was quite natural that he should bo, and his friends appreciated that fact, and boro with him as patient ly as possible, believing that before many days he would be himself again "jLoni, sam rariumrst, "take my advice .and appear to enjoy yourself. You, look, like a thundercloud. Keep your eyes away from Miss Daisy, Leave her as severely alone as she could possi bly desire and give your attention to the other young ladies, as you used to da" This time Tom saw that the lawyer's advice was good, and he tried to act-up-, ron it from that moment He .never spoke" rp Daisy unless jt was absol sary, and no ouo guessedOiC self denial he practiced mum tasti mo was soon on as gooa fwx9CW$ver with his friends and was tho idel of-kP ciety, as he had always been. The young ladies raved over him, but ho could not win one smile from Daisy , ex cept when she thought it was demanded by the rules of politeness. She was the personification of iciness whenever-thoy happened to be alone together. At first Tom had laughed lightly when his friends mentioned her evident avoidance of him, but there came a time when he could not bear it and when his flashing eyes warned them that it was a subject which he would not hear dis cussed. There came a time when Tom realized that Daisy held, his happiness in her keeping, and that it was a mat ter of indifference to her. There wero dayswhen he was filled with a fierce ex ultation at the thought that sho was bound to him for a period of more than two years yet, and that no one could claim superior rights. There wero other times when he felt that to see herand to wait upon her and know that ho had no part in her life was a torturo which was fast becoming greaterthan he could bear. There were bright mornings when ho resolved to win her love or die in the attempt. There were dark nights when he thought of tho easiest and surest means of committing suicide. He had played at love a great many times and enjoyed it. He was deeply in love now and Was miserable. How was it with Daisy? It is a ques tion which that young lady wouljl have found difficult had she tried to answer it, but she did not try. Sho had come to the city fully determined to give the best- of herself to her music. She had re solved never ,to marry, at least not until she had won fame ia the musical. world. She had entered into tho engagement with Tom principally becauso she be lieved that by so doing she would be free from importunities of other men which she might otherwiso have found distracting. She was a very earnest young lady, who had brought the whole force of her strong nature to bow before the altar of her ambition. Even her pleasures were enjoyed with the thought that such recreation, if not too often in dulged in, would enable her to work more profitably. It had amused her for two reasons, to play a part to deceive Tom she wished to know if sho pos sessed the qualities necessary to a suc cessful actor, and s! fancied that it would be more enjoyable than it hud proved to bo to try the man whom her cousin praised so extravagantly. Daisy was inclined to be cynical in her opin ions of men. When she had first seen Tom's face, she had liked it. She told herself afterward that sho might have liked its owner better than she should, considering her ambition, had he not proved himself so little of a gentleman. Therefore sho was glad tliat ho had be haved just as he did. She believed she had forever dismissed that subject with her disapproval of his conduct, and that now her heart was impregnable so far as ho was concerned. At first Tom's opinions and prefer ences were really a matter of indiffer ence to Daisy, but no young lady likes to havo the most attractive gentleman of her acquaintance attentive to every one but herself. Daisy was not pleased with Tom's behavior. Had she shown her displeasure in tho ordinary way she might soon have been tho recipient of more attention from him than she would have liked at that time, but she did nothing in tho ordinary way, and she deceived even herself as to her opin ion of Tom. Sho realized that he made her uncom fortable, but she said it was because he was so very ungentlemanly. She was sure that she should always despise a man who judged people entirely by their personal appearance. There was no de pendence to bo placed in one whose re gard for another was regulated by that other's wealth of natural attractions. Sho never listened when her friends Epoke of the great improvement notice able in Tom Wainwright during the past year. Sho preferred to believe that it was impossible for him to overcome the only fault which she had been ablo to find in him. She assured herself and others that a man with such a fault could pretend anything, but that he was false at heart, and the heart did not change. CHAPTER V. Tom and Daisy had been betrothed monsthan a year when the hop at Cal houn's was proposed, and the proposal heartily indorsed by tho young people of their acquaintanceT Silas Calhoun wits the proprietor of a largo hotel built on the shores of a little lake miles away from nowhere at least that ia the way it was described by the. eathusiastic guests who congregated there every sum mer for rest.
