I'NIGK FIVK GKNTS " 1 The Improved llniinciul situation in Now York unci othnr cuHtorn monoy cen ters continucH to havo ita effect In litis city. Within tho past fow days sovorul largo insuranco and trust companies in Now York, Philadelphia and elsowhoro havo expressed their willingness to loan monoy in considerable amounts on tlrst class security, and it will not ho long until tho ilow ot eastern money will havo set in in sullleiont voluino to have a most honilkial olTcct on business in Lincoln. It is a fact that Nebraska has succeeded in maintaining her credit in tho oast, notwithstanding the political disturbances that have taken placo. This 1b particularly gratifying ;,, tho faco ot tho manifest intention of eastern lounors to withdraw their money from Kansaa and refuse to make any now loans. Kansas' unbridled political can tankorousness, and lawlessness, and tho disposition of Kansans to disregard authority havo worked irreparable in jury to that state, an injur) that will not bo repaired for many years. To ,3tate.tho matter plainly tho pops havo blighted tho state. Here, although wo havo had our Van Wycks and our Dryans and our Allons and our Jay Burrowscs and our Dnnin-tho-Constltu-tion Schradors, thoro has always boon a check to tho extromlty to which these political revolutionists would havo pro- cooded. Tho state has never been wholly given over to the cranks and an archists. The sober sentiment of tho intelligent people who bo largely constituto tho population of Nebraska has always been represented in tho ' stato government to such an extent I that an obstruction has invariably been interposed to populist demolition. It has always been evident, no matter i " what apparent success crowned tho I . efforts of tho faddists, that tho peoplo of Nebraska could bo depended uion to protect tho credit and dignity of tho stato from catastrophe such as has 'visited Kansas. 1 j, pastern capital Iuib kept its eye on Nebraska and it has noted tho markod diffcronco between tho population of the two states, Kansas and Nebraska. Con fidence in Nebraska may havo received t Bomo shocks now and then, but it was never shattered, and now, while Kansas may Buffer, wo will reap the benefit Bocurod by tho good sense ot tho re publicans and democrats who have checked tho madness of tho more fan atical xpops. Tho waning powor and iniluonco ot tho cranks in this state is Mknown in tho east as it is at home, and "ia-War Breatlv to our credit. Tliere is I reason to suppose that, once the tlnan cial situation eases up to anything like k its former condition, money will come to Nobrapka quite as freely as formerly. . ' ' When Lincoln was made a reserve city tho tlrst intitortnnt step toward making this city an independent thinn cial center was taken. This week tho Clearing Houso association in Omaha passed a resolution, tho immediate ef fect of which will be to work a hard ship to tho Lincoln banks, or rather to tho customers ot tho Lincoln banks; but in the end it will be a good thing, as it will make tho banks in this city still 1 moro independent of the Omaha hanks. t Tho resolution is an indication of the fact that at last Omaha is beginning to recognize Lincoln hb a rival. ' The bankB of this city do not have as many country correspondents as tho bunks in Omaha, and when the wholesale merchants and others of this city, have turned in checks on banks in interior state townB which aro not correspon dents ot the Lincoln banks, the latter havo sent them to Omaha for collection. Now this must stop. Tho Omaha banks ' say that tho wholesalers in Omaha ob ject to the Omaha banks making collec tions for Lincoln wholesalers. Tho banks in this city will ho compelled to incroaso thoir number of correspon dents in tlio state. Probably tho whole Balers will insist upon their customers sending Now York or Chicago drafts in stead of checks, .. Tho largest dry goods dealer on 0 P streot, probably the most enterprising advertiser in tho city, by tho way, ro-,- ports that IUb sales woro larger on Tiies- day of this week than on any one day since ho has been in business. Tho iirst of the mouth collections havo been a littlo slow; but there has been a marked improvement in the' business done this week, duo in )i measure to tho change in tho weather , on Thursday, and there is a bettor fee! ing among merchants than there has been for some time. The opinion is generally expressed that Novembor business will bo good. The Woods Investment company, one of tho largest operators in real cBtato and stock in the state, report that their sales at this time are quite as large as a year ago. There is no question but that tho passngo of the repeal bill will havo a marked tendency to loosen up eastern money; and it will not be long till Nehrhska will get some of it. The stato carries no insuranco on its buildings, and as there is no avallablo appropriation for this purpose, the building at the state penitentary part lally destroyed by tire will probably not be rebuilt until after tho next session of the legislature, lluck statT has secured accommodations in another part of tho pen and will resume work next week. The many friends of Frank W. Lewis, and business men generally will learn with regret that that gentleman is con templating leaving Lincoln nnd return ing to the east. Mr. Lewis' groat familiarity with financial matters in the west is well known, and it is under stood that should ho carry out his in tention, and go cast, he will continue in the same lino ot business, and maintain his business connections with this city. Mr. It. C. Fox superintendent of HrHdstreots in this city, has accepted the business management of The CouitiKis, and will enter upon his duties at once. He will bo succeeded in tho Uradstreet olllce by Itobert Wilson, Jr. of Hastings. Mr. Fox, during his sup oriutendeucy of tho Lincoln olllce of tho commercial agency, has won tho respect and esteem ot the business men of this city, and materially advanced tho in terests of tho company. He is a gentle man of ability and energy, and The Couuieu is fortunato in being able to secure his services. The Pacific express company and tho United States express company, two enterprising corporations, havo moved thoir olllccs to 121 south Eleventh streot, whero thoy are established in commo dious quartets, and much nearer tho centerof business activity than formerly. Dent h uf ('turn .Murl Ciiiiip, The death of Miss Clara Camp, daugh ter of Mr. and Mis. D. W. Camp, which occurred Tuesday evening, was a sad blow to the parents and the many friends of tho bright nnd lovable young girl. Miss Camp was only sixteen years of ago, but was iosRosscd of rare musi cal talent, and was much admired for her many graceful qualities. Tito funeral took place Thursday after noon from the family residence, 171!) L street, Kov. Dr. Lasby, of tho St. Paul M. E. church, olllciating. The class mates of Miss Camp in the high school and her associates in the Sunday school were present to pay tribute to tho memory of their young friend, sending a profusion of beautiful floral offerings. There were a largo number of young people in addition to her immediate classmates in attendance, whose pres ence made the ceremony specially touching. The remains were deposited temporarily in the receiving vault at Wyuka. Tho alllictioii which visited the family of Mr. and Mrs. Camp, came so suddenly and so unexpectedly, and so much affec tion was centered in the deceased, that the bereavement fell with cruel force, and the family are the recipients of much tender sympathy. The loving regard in which Miss Camp was held is touching by sym bolized in tho resolutions given below. In Mfiiiurliini. The pupils of the Lincoln High school tender the following resolutions in honor of their beloved schoolmate Clara Marie Camp: Wiikkkak, God in his infinite wisdom lias seen fit to take away our beloved schoolmate, and. Wiikkkak, She has proved herself an earnest pupil, a true friend, and a sin cero Christian. Thorcfore, bo it llesolveil, IJy the pupils of the Lin coln High School, that as they have felt tho loss of one of the brightest, most ac tive and beloved nieinhois, they hereby express their heartfelt gtief at her un timely death, sympathy for the sorrow ing family and the respect and love with which thoy hold her memory, and le it moreover " Iti'itolvctl, That a copy ot these resolu tions be sent to tho newspapers of the city ot Lincoln and to the parents of the deceased.

IB The Korsmoyer Plumbing and Heat ing company havo written the following letter: In the last number of The Couhieu wo noticed an interview of Alderman Woods, in which ho says: "Tliere may be a combine among these three linns," having reference to the three firms who bid on the material for the city, viz. Dean it Horton, Cooper it Colo Hros., and ourselves. He also stated that there aro a number of bills from these three firms at each meeting. We think that Mr. Woods is honest in what ho says, but is mistakon in regard to tho third ' It !.. !. !... if.... !... !....! I in in urn coiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. rur iiimuiiLO our firm has had bills against the city since tho 1st day of last January, amounting to a total of 871.05 for labor and material, and that was material that the firms who do furnish all the material, did not havo in stock, or wo would not likely havo hint a chance to furnish that. So you will see that if there is a combination that we are not in it. Wo havo boon told tho reason the city II TUB PUHITAN AliVYOJR. Sheltering real iniquity and doesn't buy of us is that it buys at wholesale. In looking over some of the bills wo canto to a very firm conclusion that wo can furnish the material at re tail for tho price and do very well. Respectfully yours, KonsMKYKit Plumihno & Heati.no Co. Lincoln, Nob., Oct. !J0, 180.1 Councilman Woods states that it is a fact that tho Korsmoyer company havo not scld tho city as much material as tho other firms. Maybe their prices aro too low. Mr. Woods' resolution in the city council, calling attention to the preval ence of lawlessness of ono kind and another that prevails in this city, places tho reform mayor in a position where he must fish or cut bait. It is said that a woll known oUIcial in Omaha who has recently emitted somo violent utterances against Mosher, owob his chango of opinion ot bank wreckers, to tho fact that a chock for 82,500 pre sented to him, in the interest of Mosher was deposited in the American National bank, of Omaha, just a fow days beforo the bank failed. Since he lost his money he has become indignant, Hread and water are much too rich a diet for Mosher. ' i Tho opposition to the continuation of tho Dean & Horton contract for sup plies was successful. There will bo a re-advertisement, and there is an en-' eouraging prospect that tho city will save in tho neighborhood of $2,000. , If tho Journal loses its buU agaliiBtl the Associated Press, and It may, there will he a valuable press franchise on the market, and the way will be opened for a new morning paper. Probably there is no actress in this country so indefatigable in her endeavor to obtain notoriety of one kind and an other, nnd "work the press" as Llllhm Lewis, tho queer creature who played a week's engagement In this city two years ago at thoopeuiitgof the Lansing theatre. She has just been in Kansas City, and this is the way she sought to work tho TllllVH. A telephone message received at tho Time olllce at 12:15 the other morning announced that Lillian Lewis, who Is the star of the company playing at the now Ninth street opera house this week, wanted to seo a reporter. There was trouble in the company, it was announ ced. In answer to the call a reporter went to the Centropolls. where Miss Lewis is stopping. He was shown to parlor G. A rap on the door brought a query as to who was there. Thou the door was slightly opened and Miss Lewis peeked forth. "Wait just a minute until I get some clothes and my slippers on," she said. "I want to bco you badly." Tho reporter waited about two min utes and then heard: "You can come in." Miss Lewis was found with a large fur bombarding tho sacred concert. cloak wrapped about her. The dress she wore trailed tho ground. "I didn't bother about my slippers,', she said. "It doesn't make much dlf ference." As the actress took a seat a bare foot peeped out from under her dress, but was quickly withdrawn. Tho $.'$0,000 diamond garter lay on the floor near tho bod. "I'm in n peck of trouble," she began. "Marston says I cannot play 'Thereso' Friday night. 'Lady Lil' lias caught on and now he says I must play it during tho engagement. Isn't it horrid? I am going to play 'Thorese,' however, or shut up the house. 'Thorese' is a grand play and just suits me. All thocompany like it. Hut I have to undress in one scene and Mr. Marston says ho doesn't like that." "Hut isn't Marston manager of the company?" asked the rojiorter. "He is; ho is," answered Miss Lewis. "He's in) husband, too. It's awful, Ho must let mo play 'Thorese. While ho objects he cannot occupy these apart ments. Marston is jealous. Yes, he is jealous of Emilo Zola. That's the trouble with him. Hero is a horrid note he heet me a while ago." Following is a copy of the note: Thereso Itaquin" will not be played Friday night. "Lady Lil" will be the play. Make ariangemeiits accordlnglv. L. MAltSTON.' "What do you think of that?" asked Miss Lewis. "It makes me mad. When 1 got it I sent a message to him that he won't like. I tell you I sent him an answer such as he deserved. 1 am going Continued on tiijhth '(.) ffl The Coukieu'h expose of the political methods in vogue in tho police depart meiit has milled tho serenity and dis turbed tho equanimity of the populist mayor and he straightway rushes Into print with an ambiguous denial, coup led with u protestof indignation. The "card" issued by the police commission ors does not refuto nor disprove Tin: Couhikk'h charge that Olllcers Mor rlssoy and O'Shee wore restored to their positions upon condition that they would espouse tho cause of Fred Miller. Tho agreement was made through the efforts ot Councilman James A. O'Shee brother of Policeman O'Shee and was to the effect that if Mr. Fred A. Miller would use his iniluonco with Mayor Weir and Commissioner Hrowu and have the suspended officers re-Instated they would do all they could to elect Miller sheriff. Miller fullllled his agree ment and tho officers were reinstated. Mr. Hurr, tho republican member or the board, was not a party to the compact and know nothing of it. He voted to re-instate Morrlssoy and O'Shee because ho know thoy wero excellent olllcem and had boon tho victiniH of "Detective" Jim lalone's jealous spite. These facts vero furnished Tub Couiiiku by two lombers of the tollco force and one of ho candidates on the demo-pop county cket. . In relation to the charge that Hob done, chief of the lire department, had reatoned to discharge any fireman who tended to voto against Fred Miller- mt fact was furnished Tin: Couiheu representative by two firemen, one from engine house No. 1 and tho other front No. 2. It is now in order for Hob Malone to compell all his men to sign their names to a card of denial. It's wonderful the power a chief wields whon he has about forty men under him who aro anxious to stick to their jobs, especially when the chilling blasts of winter are close at hand. Now, relative to tho case of Olllcer Kuccra. On Monday evening, October 2.'! this olllcer distributed Fred MiHor's electioneering cards among the olllcers at police headquarters at which time there was present Sergeants Ireland and Hartram, all the members of the night force, together with half 11 dozen citizens. Let them deny U if they dare. General John C Cow in of Omaha, has been invited to speak here Monday evening, and will accept, the invitation provided it does not intorfert with his business engagements. Gononl Cowin is 0110 of the ablest speakers in the west and will undoubtedly receive a warm welcome in Lincoln. Tho Hon. Tom Worrel and the lion, J. C. McNorny, representing the untcrrifled democracy aivl tho calamity pops, havo placed a ticket in the field composed of men of almost every politi cal creed, gold bug democrats, free silver democrats, pops, mugwumps, el cetera. Every democrat and every in dependent between the briny Salt creek and tho gurgling Antelope are expected to step up to tho polls and vote this mongrol ticket. Will thoy do it? Charles Iloxie and Jim Malone have been slated as deputies should Fred Millor happen to bo elected sheriff. What a contrast between these men and Henry Hoagland and Ernst Hunger, whowill bo Sheriff Alva Smith's depu ties. -o ltrad Slaughter, chairman of the re publican stato contra! committee has issued a confidential letter, from which the following interesting extracts are taken: "I want to submit a fow figures for your careful consideration. Last year in the presidential election the diffeient tickets on presidential electors received: Haymond, rep Link, iud. and fusion Sherwin, dem Hawloy, prohib 87,21.1 82.2Tj(J .21,711 l,SK)2 On the state ticket the vole is as follows: Crounso Van Wyck Morton , Hentley 78,120 (58,017 11,105 O.2.'!.-) I You will see by these figures that 20,. 000 democratic votes, which should have been east for Sherwin, democratic elee I tors, were, by the united efforts of the 1 democratic national committee, state central committee, Governor Howl, assisted by all ltisapiKtintees, Mr. Hryan, Mr. Kern, and Mr. McKoighau, cast for Link, fusion elector. , Mr. Morton's voto representing tho straight democratic vote of (he state lessoned only by Hiicli democrats as believed II, n light bo between Crounso ami Van Wyck, and in the Interest of business considerations In Oiiiaha and other cities, voted for Mr. Crounso.

It H Impossible to poll more than oO.OOO votes in the state of Nebraska forjudge Irvine, and that would not place him In competition with Judge Holeomh," "Asamatleror fact, there Is little or n polities connected with the election a justice of the siiiireme com I. ,,.!

'- . The following is the average vote on Htuto olllclals other than governor at the general election of 1802. Kepubllcan,- 81,000 Independent (ll m DftiicMTiitlu .iofooo Siime surprise has been expressed at the attitude or a certain well known re publican and ox-state olllcer toward the republican nominee ror tho olllce or register or deeds. It is Hald that tho re rusal or Mr. Harrop to promise a place in the register's olllce for tho brother of the ex-state official in question, has aroused the hitter's iro to such an ex tent that he is actively opposing Mr. Harrop, using his influence in different parts or the county. Hut Johnny Harrop will ho elected, anil the ,.,,.,... are that he will run ahead of his ticket. o Somo recent developments indicate that tho politicians havo begun to look ahead to next year'a stato campaign,' and the signs of tho times, if read bright, Indicate that there will boa brrnd now candidate lir governor. Somo .opubli ciiiih havo wondered thutlirndSlauuhtur should have been willing to undertake tiiu very, arduous and to a great extent, thankless task of running the stato cam paign in au oir year. It's a big job to conduct a campaign for a ticket with only one important officii on it. It is almost impossible to get any money out or the men who contribute cheerfully when there is a full state ticket in the Hold. And this year, when thoro is a strenuous effort to concentrate the pop ulist and democratic vote on the iHipulist nominee, Holeomh, tho work is specially hard. Yet Slaughter accepted tho chair manship of tho state central committee and the management of the campaign very willingly, with so much willingness, in fact, that somo persons who aro wont to look back of tho outward and visible political manifestations ror some hidden purpose, have come to the conclusion that K)ssihly Slaugli tor's presence at the helm may mean something more than a painstaking effort to elect Judge Harrison, an endeavor to which the chairman and secretary, Tom Cooke, are devoting their greatest energy, with a gratifying prospect of success. Tho relations that exist between Hrad Slaughter and John Peters, lute collector of internal revenue, aro well known, and the election of the former to tho chair manship of the central committee, and the unusual activity which has recently characterized the movements of Peters, together with certain other consider ations, constitute a reasonable basis for the Bupixisitinn that Peters is a full blown candidate for governor. When Jim North relieved Peters the latter immediately resumed his residence in Albion, llooue county, and he has since been cultivating the influential mem bers of the party. o It is suggested that Governor Crounso, having no idea of succeeding himself in the executive olllce maybe favorable to Peters' candidacy for governor, par ticularly as the governor is suposed to be still Missessed of an inclination to accept an election to the United States senate. Tout Mnjois will undoubtedly bo a candidate for governor next year, aud just now it looks as though Tom would bo a very strong candidate. So there are two candidates, Peteis and Majois. There is still room for a few nioie. o Hy the way, there are people who have followed events In Do'guhiH county, (C'onfiiiiii'if 011 Fifth 1'aye,) J I
