What U llonril, Seijn, I.cnrurd mill Peril
neatly .Suggested to the Multitude,
It does ono good to get awny troiii liomo
occasionally to ko what tliu busy outsldo
world is constantly doing mid tliu linprove
mcnU that niitura I dnlly adding to mother
earth. To rcmnlti nt homo yenr nftor year;
nlthotigh leading tno puK.rs wo on our smnll
iwrtloii of God's fooUtool niu apt to loose
Bight of tho fact, thnt wo nro not the only
ones that prosper, falling to glvo our neigh
bors nml foreign fi lends credit for what thoy
really hnvo ucecompllshod. 'lliowojld Is no
largo that-ln our limits! sphero wo mo apt to
got "rusty" thus iermlttliig our Idea to Im
como enamored with an Jndlireront sense as
to uvcrythlng lsjyond our eoiilented circle.
Many of my IiitolllKuiit readeiH delight to
iwruso tho letters soirt from thu resorts by
tourists and ore oft times heard to reinnik
that thoy will soon enjov such pleasures, hut
ah, thnt tltno nover comes. Thoy llvo day
after duy, enjoy threo menls every twenty
four hour, do their ordlnnry routine of work,
go to theatre occasionally and at the. close of
each day partake of tho refreshing sleep that
puts thorn on their foot again for another
brief period. Thus they llvo from licghming
to close of each J ear, hoarding up their
wealth, either In email or largo quuntifos, and
when death comes they pass away Iguoiantly
nono tho losor, but closes a life of aught hut
usof iiIIiicm. Usefulness Is cei talnly n charm,
excollunt m Its way but 'all work and no play
makes Jack a sleepy loy," am' I really think
wo own It to nature r.-d ourselves to leave
homo and every doy tolls occassional to
brush up, enjoy that which iiaturo has pro
vided and to lrcomo ostsl generally In our
humble manner on tho lay of the land, the
IHXjplo and tho world In a limited way gener
ally. Away from home wo enjoy now scenes
that aro ever attractive as well as exciting,
wo meet substantially a different class of peo
plo, this howover depending on the distance
wo Journey. Wo have an opjioi tunlty to seo
nature in other Holds, lecoino acquainted
with pooplo, one of tho most esceutlal isiluts
of this being a chance tostudy human nature.
In tho latter wo Hud a Held of entertainment
that Is ever interesting as well as pleasant.
Wo compare others with ourselves, either for
better oi wone, note their customs, obseivo
their maimers, catch Ideas as to their opin
ions, etc. Tho woi Id Is constantly busy, and
In tho throng wohavoamploopiHrtunlty to
learn much In an occasional Jaunt that we
wou'd otherwise not bo lienefltisl by. On tho
return and onco again settled at home, wo
can better nppreclato life and Its local sur
roimdlngs. I am of tho opinion that low i nud Its legis
lature has given that state tho "uizzlo dazzle"
as regards the railroads and the convenlt nees
In travel thnt Its hki1o have heretofore en
joyed. At tho recent meeting of that honor
,ablo body, it was decided to again I educe tho
passenger fnro from two nnd a half cents per
miln to two cents. This ceitiiinly is n very
low rato, in fact lower oven than" tho old east
cm states, where travel is greater and less
divided. As a consequence nearly evei y road
in Iowa film taken oir all Its ptlnclpal 'trains
and instead of running fast through trains
lotweon prominent iMilnts.lmvo put on theold
tiiuo slow local trains and cut (low n the mm--vlco
to ns small as possible. Herotoforo
whoro two and threo tuilns were run dally
each way, now but ono docs tho Unfile. This
modus opei audi has up to date Imhiii put into
eilect only on lines that depended mostly on
Iowa business for their support, but now
conies tho climax, and in It Nebraska, and in
fact tho entire countiy will huvo to sutler.
Conuiienciug next week all "llyers" "(1
Whissers," "Ell's" and other ets know n to tho
travelling public as fast ti alas, will bo en
tirely dlscontlnutd between Chlciigoand Den
ver. Tho time tahlis will bo modified and
instead of inci eased speeil and quick coin
munlcntlon, wo will hnvo to content ourselves
with tho foimer slow order of locoiuotion
and all on account of lown and her unwise
laws.
It heeins to 1m) tho sp-Inl hobby of western
legislatures nowadays to poiiueo down, about
tho first thing every session, on the ralhoads.
The lmyseedH are told that tho uillroids ale
jobbing the icoplo and they no sooner hear It
than behove It and I might add, that in
many casts, this jwrhaps is only too time,
yet there is a limit to legislation and too
much proves disadvantageous, which Iowa
will learn very soon If sho has not douo so nl
leady. Itallrond coi xirutlons nro not uullko
business Hrms. They uro in thnt branch of
usefulness to mnko money nnd liko nny pri
vito individual, wnntall thoy can got. Of
course I don't want it understood that I favor
inllroail robbery or that I champion tho rail
road cause, but there is n limit to all things,
which applies to lallronds as well us niiv ono
else. Itallioads cannot be sustained without-
profit, no moro than can a business houso or
neirs-m-ier, and at tho ratu recently fixed by
the Iowa legislature, tho roads have done per
fectly right in discontinuing or cutting down
tho service. I think tho prohibition stnto will
satisfy itself on this soon enough nud remedy
the matter, at least for tholr own good, I
)0K so.
A young gentleman dropped in yesterday
afternoon at a certain plnco down-Uwu.
Over tho front door nro threo lurge, gilded
balls. Ai ho uenred tho counter lie Dulled
from his vost pockot a cqimplod bit of jwper.
Then bo tried to tuck it back out of sight as
ho caught a glim-iso of a friend who stood at
thoHhowrnso. This friend tried to hurry an
other similar pleco if jxipor out of sight. Each
was caught in the act by the other, both look
ed slueplsh, and both smiled. "What nro
you doing in hero!" asked tho last-comer of
his friend. "Well," answered the friend, "a
chum of iiilna camo up hero from Omaha last
week, hud a good time and had to put up his
nuu:ii ior money euougu to get nomo. ISow
ho has sent mo tho ticket and tho money to
redeem tho tlinn-ploco. What brings you In
hcref" ho added. "Similar ease, only my
friend camo Nebraska City Instead of Oinuhu,
nud had to hock his stud instead of his watch.
I'lil redeeming it for him " Then tho two
young men finished tho transaction of their
business, looked at one another a second Hum,
laughed again, and thou went out nud pro
ceeded to got gloi lously full In honor of the
coincidence.
V
i. h.. f.mmett is playing "Our Fritz." at
tho Tnlsir in Denver this week to phenomliml
business. Whllo in tho capital city of Colo
rado this week I stepjed In to wo tho play for
an hour Tuesday nnd Wednesday evening
and I must confels I nover saw a more fash
ionable or rcllned ntidleuco The Tabor has
n very pretty emdroldoied banner on which
Is wi ought out In blazing yellow letters
"Standing llooin Only." This was displaced
on lioth evenings and I wns told that it had
Ix-en tho siuno on e cry night previous, much
to tho dismay of tho late comers. "Our Krltz"
has been somewhat olteiod and impiovedand
as now produced is certainly a great success
The largfi audiences present testified their up
pieclatlonby long and houity enclaves, Mr.
Emmet gincefully acknowledging tho same
nearly every tlmo ho sang. Ho is surrounded
by a clover comimny, carries somo lino
scenery and cei talnly deserves the success he
is meeting with, Eintuot npjiears In Lincoln

limn of somo twenty-flvo jeai sold and son of

wo will open a ten weeks engagement with

said to lie a partleiilaily attractive one, suit
ed es'Kielalry to Emmet's peculiar stjle, Tho
company will nicilldo somo of our brightest
talent nud I think will prove even a letter
success than "Fritr."

Last Saturday afternoon n xirty of young
peoplo who took -wilt in the amateur thentii
cols at tho Fuuko sometlnio ago, attended tho
mutlueo at the Peoples theatre on which oc
casion tho Hourne Theatre Co., presented
'XiiMd Eiigngeiucnts" the same bill in which
the lsltors had lately staled. Imagine the
surprise of tho party when It was announced
from tho stage that tho ticket purchased by
Miss Alleeu Oakley had diawu tho priro doll
