Thoso nearest tho "city" aro covered for $100 npicco and others have ? 7ft or f50. It was not stated who held tho mortgages, but ltlsprob ablo that thoy will turn up In tho possession of some of tho Omaha sharks. Those lots were offered at auction. Tho buyer was asked to bid for tho equity of tho seller and assumo tho mortgage, tho amount bid over and uliovo the mortgage to to paid in cash. Just take time to contemplate tho gull of tho deal in all its magnificence. No wonder tho halo was a fizzle Kven tho suckers caught out V Lincoln will won liavo a novelty in tho ehnpo of a private law school It will bo con ducted by Air. llenry Hmltli, late of tho Phil adelphia bur, w holms been connected with elmllur schools in tho east. Air. Bmlth will be tho deuu and priucipul instructor, but tho course will include lectures by tho most em inent lawyers in tho state. 'U10 Central law school will begin in November and contiuuo for thirty weeks. V Tho unexpected lias happened again. Col. . D. Webster of Btrattou has announced himself as a candidate lor tlio republican nomination for congress to succeed tho .Into Jim Laird, lio halls lrom tho west end of tho district, which was supioscd to bo mort gaged to Becretury of Statu Laws, and this may complicate matters. 'II10 colonel has been a prime factor in tho politics of Nebras ka, aim, indeed, Is siokeu of astbo founder of tho republican party in this state. In l&M ho was sent out by Thurlow Weed to capture tho delegates of Nebraska for William 11 Bewnrd. lio bought tho Oiuuhn.fr;niMfctii, preached tho taltli with vigor and secured two of tlio delegates for tho great Now York cr. During tho war ho was Howard's private clerk and alter it becumo collector ot inter nal revenue lor tho district of New York. Ho figured prominently in tho politics of that state until 1&7U, when ho returned to Nebras ka, lio has since been 0110 of tho iolitlcal powers in state iiolltics, and no doubt has many wires ho can pull. Most of tlio candi dates aro young men, who will light each other, and shrewd politicians think they will bo more likely to unite on ouo of tho older men, Laws or Webster, than to let ono of their own number get a lease of jwwer that may run too long to suit their ambitions. Dr. Frank S. Hillings of hog-cholera fnmo has been In tho city, during tho lair meeting friends and talking up his inoculation for hogs to Interested, parties. Tho doctor is be ing backed by a rich Chicagoau and they have tltted up a laboratory at an cxicnso of 0,000 in that city. They have tcui'iorarily abandoued tho project ot organizing a com pany to insure nogs against tho cholera lie cause of certain requirtifcnts of tho laws of Illinois, and will Inoculate hogs at fifty cents per head.. For that purjiosothoy will appoint agents in each state. 1 noy have already en gaged Sir. Courtney, who was superintend ent of tho state farm, Bam C. Hussctt, secre tary of the Nebraska dairymen's association, and Chas. Walker, a farmer living near Bur prise who has been a staunch supporter of tho Billings theory. The doctor claims to have taken orders lor l!,0uO swluo while in tho city this week. In answer tothoreportorial query "Do you think Ingcrsoll has much iulluenco 11(1011 tho religious thought of the country f Tulmngo said to a western interviewer, with a merry twinkle of tho eye: "About as much us u grasshopier would havo sitting on tho rail road truck when tho Cincinnati express passes along. There aro doubtless indi viduals now and then who will bo uffected by what ho says, but tho great sweep and march of Christianity will pass on and over him as though ho had never existed. I am full of. hope tor the futuro of tho human race. Better days aro dawning all the while. It fills mo with supremo pleasure to learn more and more of tho grand jeoplo who live hero in tho west. 1 havo been away from homo eight weeks and what splendid peoplo I havo met. People talk In tho east about this city and that city out west being so wlckod.Why, I havo not found tho title hero hi tho west much different from those in tho east It is all a mistake; tho world Is getting better. The newsimjier press of our country Is tho very best detective agency that tho world over saw or knew. Men aro afraid to do wrong. Wicked men aro ufraid to pusn for ward 111 public places and commit dishonest acts, for exposure is sure to follow. When a man goes wrong ho is confronted with tho whole story next morning in big headlines of tho dally papers. In my opinion there Is nothing in our day that puts a nioro whole 60mo check upon the life of our public men than the newspaper press. And another thing I havo noticed; If a man hapjiens to have nn injustice done him by any newspaper, ho can walk into uny other nowspnjier olllco in the land and bo vindicated. As a rule, news papers havo a linger constantly upon tho public pulso, and thoy aro usually on thosido of right and justice." An effoi t was made last Tuesday morning to stop tho Ilupld Transit lino from running to O street, Tho action was based on a reso lution of tho council passed in August of last year, which forliada tho motor running wlth in tho city "liecnuso It frightened horses." It may not bo clear to tho casual oltscrver why tho motor should havo liooii allowed to run undlsturled for over a year, only to huvo tho resolution enforced when the lino was accom modating thousands of jicoplo anxious to go to tho state fair, It looks very much ai though tho liverymen, or mmuo of them, wero Iwick of tho move, because 0, It Bklnner asked tho courts for an Injunction to restrain tho motor from running into tho city, Judgo FioMs took an eminently fair course in tho matter. Ho visited tho scone ot action and saw crowds of jiooplo waiting to tako tlio mo tor to tho state fair grounds. Ho very sen sibly refused to issue a iwremptory restrain ing order, and named Monday us the timo for hearing arguments on tho petition for an injunction, thereby leaving tho motor free to run during tho fair. Tho outrago attempted by Bklnner gels 110 syuinthy from tho citi zens of Lincoln. It was purely a mercenary scheme In tho Interest ot Bkluuor and other men operating public carriage to force tlio (eoplo into their high-priced conveyances. It is to bo hoped that tlio ilrst-class liver men, who live and let live, had no hand In tlio at tempted outrago upon poor icoplo and iixiu John Fitzgerald, 0110 of tlio bulwarks of Liu coin's prosjierlty. Tho state fair but, on second thought, probably you have been full of tlio subject tlio whole week. Two wholesalo hat and cap houses in Oma ha have been trying to sell out to each other, uud tho curious thing about it is tho small stock curried by a big concern of tills kind in un oir season. U110 houso ottered to reduce its slock to 10,000 worth 011 tho lust of No vember, and tho other agreed to take $7,600. 'llio tact also conies to liglit that W. It. Den nis, tho Lincoln hatter, uud an eastern gentle mun llgured on buying out ono or both of the Oiuuhu jobbing concerns. Tliey did not want to tako mo stock quite us soon as tlio time named by the owners, aud tho deal fell througU. V Ono of tho sights aud sounds of tho week was a ohe-uruied woman singing oil tho sli cut. tine M evidently uu Italian, und bus memurk ubiy clear and stioug voice, which Is tho uioro uolublo becuUso she ims long Used It out-of-uuurs. '1 ho tainily divides into three groups ot street musleiuns: the husband 111 one, tho mother in uuulhur uud two small childicii 111 a third. V It is doubtful if any western city of tho size ot Uncolli lias sent so many ol tier jicoplo uwuy ironi hoinu tor summer recreation, borne have guuu us lur eust as tho rock-bound coast of .Maine. Others havo gone to tho now northwest and n lew havo wandered to iar uwuy Alusku. Alany have tied to tlio cool mountains 01 Colorado, and the rest of tlio country has caught u sprinkling. Tho return ing tuio Is at its Hood uud tlio homo-comers reiort having uud enjoyable vacations. And they look it, too. liut ot all tho Hundreds who went lrom homo lor u rosiiul vacation 110110 aro more eministustlo tuuu those who went to bplrit Luke. Ill tho tlrst place, it did not re quire a long, oxieusivo railroad journey, and mo special urrungementsoltnolNorth western system made it leudily accessible. Tlio visit ors limnu a chain of bcuutuul lakes uud could live in tents, in lodges or in a big summer ho tel. They had lino tlshing, with all tho other advantages 01 a lake, ami wero always tanned with cool breezes, f hoy got rid 01 tho re straints of tashionablo lite and hud 11 genuine recreation. -Now that the tide of summer travel lias turned towards Bptrit iake, it will bo a favorite resort tor Lincoln people next summer. v Of course tho Spirit Lake region has u le gend. No true western lake would think of doing biisiiicshS without one. Llku Mrs. 'foo dies' cotliu twus jt ,m,u ToodlcsM,a legend isn haudy thing to havo on hand. Tho very name of the pluco smacks ot something super natural. Hut the legend ot Bplrit Lake is not merely a romantic story to pleuso the passing interest of tho curious. To the antiquarian aud mythologist It 011011s the ortaltoastudy ot the religious lelieis of tho Dakotus, who onco inhabited this section before thoy wero driven westward, Tho Dakotas, llko other children of nature, wero rich in suicrstitious. Tho market for superstitions was very weak and tho stock in creased year after year. In fact, they hud more superstitions than bread and butter. If tho Dakotas saw a manifestation of nature for which their simple minds had no plans! bio theory they cliargod It to 0 hidden spirit and considered the problem settled beyond further speculation. The thunder, tho light ning, tho wind, tho sun, the rain, each was a wah-kan (a spirit). They believed in a sir premo power ol somo sort uud called it Wah- kan Tonka (Great Spirit). Tho Dakotes thought tho lightning to bo tho Hashes of tho eyes of the sun (Adah Wo-ah), which, proba- ably, was otherwise obscured. 1 hey looked upon thunder as tho angry outburst of offend ed gods. Great Toon-Kun (Godot tho Winds) often breathed In fury and Wah-kan Ko-ynn (God of Thunder) always spoke in wratli. Tho lako was lashed Into fury by Wuh-kuu Ktay-ho (God of tho Waters). Tho list of gods might bo lengthened, but these will give an Idea of tho Indian mythology. Tho lake wus supposed to le 11 lied with spirits, good and evil. It was known ns Wah-kau Itedah, which lias been Anglicised into Bplrit Dike. Tho Okolxjjl lakes (East aud West) retain their Indian name. Tho traditions of tho Dakotas go lwck to O-ko-bo-jl, "mighty chief of chiefs E-ton-chu Tonk, over all tho tribes of tho Dakotus." For reusons not fully explained tho old chief, whoso wjgwam was pitched on tho west shore of Bplrit Iako, warned ills braves not to trust themselves to Its treacherous waters. Ilo left this caution to his tribe as his dying legacy. Tho legend has it that tho old mnii slept with his fathers for a hundred years be fore his eaco of mind was disturbed. At that time there dwelt upon tho shores ot tho lako a part ot tho Dakotas known usSuutccs. "Ami among them was a youthful hunter, tall ami comely in his every feature, ami for skill aud many deeds of daring ho was loved and honored by tho lcoplo. Never hud his arrow failed Its mission, never had ho shown a lack of courage, and the jicoplo looked upon him, saying; Ho will In tho futuro bo our chieftain. Ho will lead our young men forth to linttlc, and our foes will lly lieforo our warriors llko the leave lieforu tho winds of autumn. Hut while yet his youthful heart was lllled with the Joyous Iioch of dawning manhood, In tho early summer, homo return ing emtio a hnudof wnrrlors,a captive maiden with them bringing." Of course tho cnptlvo was a' charmer, and of course tho young bravo was moved to pity by her distress. Otherwise this legend would have been n missing quantity, Blleiitly ho vowed thu air of freedom sho should breathe again lieforo tho morning smiled on Wnh-kau llcduh'ri mystic waters. Tho story kindly tells us that tho girl did iiotdtvluohlspiirH)NO,dld not understand thu latigungeof his tiilio oven; but wo aro Informed that when sho saw his canoo tied to a tree sho took a tumble and re newed hoio and courage. Tho young fellow was a noblo red man surely, for ho resolved to sacrifice his mort gage 011 the chlcfshlp and save tho maiden. Ho released the girl, got her into his canoo and started to puddle across tho lake. "Then with vengeance on their lips thu warriors quickly strung their Ijows and seized their arrows and iiumlndfulof tho weired tradition which thdr fathers had to them imparted, of tho spirits, good and evil, dwelling 'ueath tho waters of tho lako lieforo them, and tho great command of Okobojl ero ho to the spirit land departed, launched with eager hands their Itoats and started, vowing that tho hunter death must sulfer, and the cnptlvo by his side must perish." Hut thu red Lochlnvnr had a good start, ami the gods took a hand In his tnvor. Tho God ot tho Waters "frightful caverns made within tho bosom of the lake, all tho spirits dwelling in thu crystal cham bers 'ueath its surface raged Indignant at the illful presence of the warriors 'mid their realms enchanted. Sj they rallied forth in mighty numbers, quickly seized thoboutsnud pulled them under, leaving not a warrior liv ing." Thu lleelug couple passed over the lako In safety and in good time reached the girl's people. How long they hung around tho pa rental wigwam, and whether they boarded ut tho expenso of tho old man, tradition does not tell us; but they aru said to havo lived togeth er happily for many years, and, dying to havo licen reunited In the Lnnd ot the Messed. As for tho Dakotas, tho legend says they never again launched canoo on Bplrit Luke. Recently during tho progress of funeral corteges it has occur ml that iiersons would drive through, thereby breaking tho Hues. This Is certainly not right, uud tho Hrson that doeu it has little or no resjiect for the dead. Of course you may bo In a hurry, but reason should bid you wait a bit for tho solemn march to pass. Thu average funeral Is not so long but that a fow minutes can bo spared to ptrmlt it to pass properly. A Metropolitan Stable, Lincoln is assuming all the metropolitan airs becoming n city of her size, and ouo ot tho latest is a livery stable that would bo a credit to any city. Tho new l'nlaco Stable on M street, near Masonic Temple, is a largo institution and Is as substantial and com plete. It has a handsome appearance, and the heavy bi ick walls afford a security that will be appreciated by thoso who leave horses or carriages in a livery burn, Thuro aro two entrances, so that ouo team never has to wait until another fr unhitched. It has largo olllco and harness rooms handsomely fin ished In light woods. Don 11 tho center of tho first floor aro eight box stalls. On either side is n row of stalls, sixty-eight In number. A Jm go part of thu upstairs Is used for tho carriage room, nud a big platform e.ovntor lifts the vehicles up or lets them down safely and with little loss of time. Everything Is new anil the stable is light and ulry throughout Mr. A. G. Hillmeycr, tho obliging proprietor is oirering conveniences and attentions never before to bo hod ill Lincoln, Huggles and harness aro washed overy day if necessary, and this rule has been maintained even dur ing tho rush of tho state fair, when such things are not exjiected. In fact the I'alaco has had uu Instantaneous success and an addi tion is already under way. Tho original stable Is 60x1-14 feet, aud the addition will Ihj 25x82. People having horses that thoy keep at a stable should call on Mr. Ulllmeyer and seo tho superior accommodations that ho oirorg. Not only has ho the best Btablo and best service, but ho guarantees to glvo tlio animals entrusted to his en re the belt of fod der and the kindest care. Persons wanting a carrlago for driving, or a phaeton or surrey for family uso, will find just tho thing at the Palaco Btablo, with gentle, well-broksn horses to draw tWin. In short, Mr. I1I11 meyer has an institution that Is superior In overy resjiect, and iiersons wanting any ser vice usually offered by a livery stable will find tho best in Lincoln at his establishment Many of tho visiters to Lincoln during tho state fnlr Improve tho opportunity to buy articles that cannot readily bo found In their own towns. 80 general is this that city peo plo often postpone their purchases until after tho fair. Many strangers visited tho store of Hallett, tho Eleventh street jeweler, and ex pressed surprlso at finding so largo and elo gant n lino of gold and silver waro and lino Jowelry. Mnny purchases wero imulo nud ovorybody received tho courteous, squaro treatment for which this houso Is noted. Tho visitors havo gone, nnd townseoplo will again call on Hallett to fill their want. Chnngo Is ono of tho irrchlstlblo laws of nn ture, and fortunately tho change Is almost in variably for tho better.

Wo aro inclined to consider sumo ot tho newer music that Mr. lllco has added to tho score, tlio best that Is connected with tho piece. Among such numbers may bo particularly noted the solo and chorus, 'I'm a Dashing Pi rate,' tho song and dance 'Rosy Morn,' tho ro munza 'Fear Not, My Lovo,' tho ballad 'Tho Old Love,' and tho octet 'The Moonlight Kiss.' As a stago siiectacle, tho presentation is bril liant, gorgeous, dazzling. Tho bcciio on board tho Corsair's bark Is exceedingly natural and effective; the gardens of tho Pacha with its flno architecture aud prismatic fountain Is singularly beautiful, and tlio Jiarvui kceiio Is as gorgeous as anything wo have over seen 011 tho stage.
