A few years ago
tho girl who
"worked for a

undergone a groat

lluctuatlng fortuncM It behooves overyliody,
girls as well as boys, to learn a craft remilr
Ingintelllgeiicoand skill. For girls there Is
no moro inviting prospect In tho way of em

With proper application they aro not hard to
learn, and if ono is never forced to uso them
they aru valuablo as an accomplishment.
Th tyHjwriter Is brought Into contact with
tho world mid gains 11 broader vie wot life and
u better insight into business. It seems hardly
necessary to remind tho fairer sex of tho op
portunities matrimonial that thin employ
ment opens up to them. We havo several IN
lustrations of this right hero in Lincoln. Tho

Peculiar things do happen. Houth Dakota
Is a prohibition statu, but original pockages
llourish. Tho 11. & M. is building n lino from
Dudley to Deadwood, but tho original pack
ages sold at tho former point made great
havoc among tho thousands of lalrarvrs. In
self defence, purely as a matter of business,
the rallroud and tho contractor, John Fitz
gerald, undertook to drive the original pack
age out of town mil camp. Under a doubtful
ruling of a Dakota Judge they have had II. F.
Plnneo arrest tho vendors and J. 11. Strode of
Lincoln to prosecute them. It is odd that
men should go from n license statu hundreds
of miles to enforce the ntiti-llquor law of a
prohibition state.
AproK8 Dudley, several Lincoln jieoplo
have a serious complaint because thoy have
missed getting ono of the good mountain sup
pers served In tho Httlo railroad eating house
at that station. In traveling to mid from
Hot Springs, 8. D., over tho B. & M. there is
11 stage ride between Dudley and the health
resort, Tho stage leaves tho Springs at ono
o'clock and should arrive at Dudley about
five, giving the passengers nmplo tlmu to get
a square meal. Hlghtthere,liutweeu the long
carriage rido and the all night railroad ride,
is the best pluce In the world to put u good
suptier; but there Is trouble In camp. Wheth
er tho dining room jieoplo refuse to feud the
stage men free or give them a rake oir or
what not, the drivers time their stages so as
to reach Dudley but live or ten minutes tie
fore the train leaves This gives no time for
getting a meal The restaurant loses Its cus
tomers and tho poor travelers have to go
hungry until they reach Itevnuna next
morning. Sirs. Tims. H. Benton and family
w ere served in this way last week, and Myron
Wheeler, J. B, Strode and their purty nnr
rowly escaped the same unpleasant experience
on their return trip the other day. Fortuii
ntely for tho latter party Supt. l'helan hap
pened to bo 011 tho train and he held It long
enough to let tho hungry, tired travelers re
fresh themselves. Tho spiteful action of the
stage drivers is au outrage on weary human
ity, and soma of tho parties in interest ought
to put a stop to it.
Nothing in the history of Lincoln has so
stirred the heal U of its people as tho deuth of
John It. Clark, which occuncd suddenly last
Saturday evening. Never has thero been
such an outpouring of eulogy upon tho de
ceased, of sympathy for the liereaved. And
never wore thoso expressions of tho heart so
richly deserved. Hero wan a man who grew
rich but not nurd hearted, who became kjw
erful but not proud or autocratic. 1 ere was
a life that embodied noble endeavor, grand
achievement and the fruitage of many line
virtues. John H. Clark was one man of a
thousand.
He came to Lincoln from l'lattsmuuth in
1S74. He Is lx;Ht known to the publio by his
connection with the First National Bank and
the StuU- Joimuil company, but he was in
terested in many other enterprises, Including
a dozen banks scntteml tluuugh the state.
He was remarkably successful in businessi,
and his nuuie wiu a synonym in Nebraska for
Integrity and sound Judgment. He assNted
In all the public enterprises of Lincoln during
his life here, and ho never wearied of giving
time, labor mid money to the building up of
the Capital City.
hi private life he presented a diameter
singularly puio uud svrong and beautiful for
1i busy man of niralrs. Not merely was he a
model husband and father, but his kindliness
blessed nil who came into contact with him.
A
Kflvi lev V
Ho had a tender, interest in young men, and
iloA'iis of them can testify to many kind nets
for them. He was markedly generous and
charitable, and must have distributed thous
ands of dollars each year IniKslstlug woi thy
poor. His chnritles were coiice'iled and not
paraded, but enough of them have come to
light to show that John H. Clark was one of
tho kindest, God's uliiioncrN. Tho life of such
a man is a blessing to the community, and
his honored memory Is a legacy tobopiled
by his family. The esteem of the deceased's
fellow cltieus lias Wen evidenced by the un
precedented number of resolutions of sym
pathy, the general Niispeiipion of business
Tuesday afternoon uud the great attendance
at the funeral.
On u recent Hying trip to Sioux City Bye-the-Bye
could not help being struck by the
strong contrasts between that place and Liu
coin. The first thing to Impress one was the
narrow-lies of Sioux Clty'H stieets and walks.
Wide streets make buildings look squatty,
while narrow streets Increase tho npiH'iuance
of business. There aro some imaginary ad
vantages in narrow thoroughfares, but the
sold, substantial advantages must Ihi with
such streets as Lincoln is blessed with.
The contrast hetween the resident poition
of the tno towns is equally marked. The site
of Sioux City Is very hilly. To look over It
from n high point It has the rough npienr
anco of a mighty chop sen. To make this un
even surface suitable for the dwellers of a
city has been a big problem, but tho jiooploof
Sioux City have attacked It with energy, do
termination and money. They have cut
streets through the hills mid dumped the dirt
Into the valleys. In this way streets have
been graded tor three and four miles. This
work lias been going on for years and hun
dreds of men and teams me still at It. One
of the remarkable things in this connection is
tho fact that a great part of this wonderful
leveling of iiatuio hns been done by private
enterprise. Wo see something of this sort of
thing in Omaha, but it does not compare in
amount to that of Sioux City. On many of
tho streets of tho latter it Is necessary, before
building a houre, to dig away n hill or 1111 a
hollow. As a consequence of nil this change
the streets and walks and private grounds
and shade tiees ore many yeais behind those
of Lincoln.
But in the street car service ah, there Lin
coln cannot boust of Its superiority. Sioux
City has several electric lines, which climb
the hills and inuke fast time everywhere.
Then thero is u cable line over time miles
long, nud au elevato I ralhoad is Iteiug built
to ono of its suburbs. Tho slow-going, anti
quated horse-car is no where to be seen.
And ono cannot help noticing tho Hue olllco
blocks. There are tin eo or four magnificent
six-story bulldlngsnnd several 11101 egolng up.
What Is the explanation f Kasteru rupital.
The moneyed men of thooust want permanent
Investments and are sat lulled with small in
terest. Hence they generally build larger
and better block ill western cities tluri local
capital can nironl.
V
One of the sights of Sioux City Is the rail
road pontoon bridge across the Missouri.
Tho l'aclllc Short Line, the new railroad be
ing built from Sioux City to Ogdeu, was
unable to get the use of the iron inilroad
bridge acro-s tho rUcr, and had to seek some
one who woull build a bridge for It. The
projector of an old pontoon concern undertook
tho venture under an agreement by which
tuey aro to receive $'l for each londnl ft eight
ear that crosses and a cei talu sum for inch
passenger. As tho bridge only cost them f.'lu,
000 they aro likely to muse a big thing out or
it. Tho purpose Is to bull 1 a peimauent
blldge, and as a reward for their woik In the
present veutiile the owueis of the pontoon
me to bo given $',0,000 stock in the lion
bridge, so that they me likely to Ilmuio In
dependently 1 It'll out of their euterpilse. Tne

The l'aclllc Shoit Line has a pecullur trade

line or not, these expressions uru used to in
dicate the shot test distance between two
points. This inilroad has embodied the idea
in its symbol and made it of double stieugth
Speaking of eastern capital, a well known
nud successful leal estate man made the state
ment the other day that theie was lots of
money yet to bo made in business pinpeity
In Lincoln. His line of argument was some
thing like this; There is pi actfcully no east
ern capital invested In Lincoln's irsidoienlly.
IK'al capitalists are somewhat limited in
their means, and consequently we haven't
the improvements, the big blocks, we ought
to have. When eastern capital becomes in
terested in Lincoln, as it will sometime, there
will be maguiHcent olllce buildings six nud
seven stories high and the prices of adjoining
propeity will go up with n iiish. One ot tie
hist acts of the lato John It. Clark, according
to this geiitlemuu, was an irort to lutertst
outside putties In the ptlithuso of iliuBuir

$183,000, and tho Burn agreed to guarantee
a net income from it of b pei cent, for ten
