two miles to buy a lot Theso l'icrru lots aro
only twenty-llvo feet front at that, and each

Thoso nearest tho "city" aro covered for $100

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

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

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

Oiuuhu jobbing concerns. Tliey did not want
to tako mo stock quite us soon as tlio time

It is doubtful if any western city of tho size

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

Wo aro inclined to consider sumo ot tho newer

Among such numbers may bo particularly
noted the solo and chorus, 'I'm a Dashing Pi

munza 'Fear Not, My Lovo,' tho ballad 'Tho
Old Love,' and tho octet 'The Moonlight Kiss.'
As a stago siiectacle, tho presentation is bril

effective; the gardens of tho Pacha with its

singularly beautiful, and tlio Jiarvui kceiio Is
