Last Thursday the Masonic Grand
lodge in session at Omaha-elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:
John JJaereer of Brownville grand mas

of Fallerton grand senior warden, Sam
uel P. Davidson of 'Tecumseh grand
junior warden, Christian Hartman of
Omaha grand treasurer, William B.
Bowen of Omaha grand secretary. The
grand senior deacon, grand junior dea
con and grand tiler are appointive
offices. The reports of the various grand
officers were very gratifying to the fra
ternity. Fifteen new lodges were grant
ed dispensations during the year. On
April 30, 1888, there were 8,007 master
masons on the rolls. On April 90, 1889,
the number had increased to 8,643. The
grand treasurer reported the balance of
$400 in the treasury. Four hundred
delegates were in attendance.

"Hannah Pietlard, a young woman
whose home was at Tioga, DL, was found
lying in an unconscious state on a farm
wagon in a foul smelling livery stable in
Carthage. She was taken to the county
jail and a physician has been trying to
save her life. She had been working for
a brother in Quincy and recently left
his boase, walking to Tioga, a distance
of about thirty miles. She showed signs
of insanity and her parents, assisted by
a local preacher and other ignorant peo

sticking pins into her body in order, as
they said, to drive away the spooks and

The Bee.
So far along in the history of Nebras
ka buildings, the new structure occu
pied by the Bee, marks an era in the
growth of Nebraska. It is claimed to
be the largest fire-proof printing house
in the United States. It is certainly
worth more than a passing notice; at the
banquet last Wednesday evening, Mr.
Bosewater made the following remarks:
"Words are utterly inadequate to ex
press my feelings to night. The' past
rises before me like a dream. I am again
a young man of thirty without any am
bition except to rise in the profession
which I have followed for thirteen years,
to accumulate a few thousand dollars by
hard labor, and finally to reach a period
of retirement from the arduous duties of
the telegraph operator. I am again back
in the old dingy office on Twelfth and
Dodge streets. I see poor Gerald cor
recting typographical errors of the first
number of the Omaha Bee. I also see
Archie Bichmond grinding -away as- the
power of the first press. I am once more
going through the agonies of years a
struggle I would not and could not
again pass through without breaking
down. I feel myself engaged in strife
with forces entirely beyond my own
powers, and I am mentally traveling
over the thorny path that has led me to
this end. I see it all before me like a
dream. I had no design or intention of
founding a great newspaper. I did not
dream that on the very spot where
twenty of the best years of my life were
spent, where every one of my children
were born I should see today erected a
structure that would be recognized as
the largest newspaper building on the
American continent. It all, I say, seems
to me like a dream, and yet one of those
dreams that has a pleasant ending. This
building which I have dedicated, men
tally, years ago, raised over the
ground where all my children were born,
is much larger, more handsome and
more imposing than I had ever antici-
Fited. When I entered upon this task
acted very much the same as I have
since the starting of the Bee. I neither
looked to the right nor to the left, and
didnot look back. During all the ca
reer I have had in journalism, when
drafts were coming due at the bank and
I had no money to pay them, when notes
were coming due and I did not know
where to get a dollar, when creditors
harassed me so that I was afraid to pass
one of them on the street, I never
thought of worrying, I never worried
about a thing that was going to happen
until it happened, but kept moving to
ward the goal which I desired to reach.
So it was in erecting this building. The
architect's estimate was $265,000. I had
negotiated a loan of $150,000 for the con
struction, and I found myself erecting a
building at a cost of over $440,000. I
never wavered a moment. I never look
ed to see where the money was coming
from, and I don't know today where I
will get it Laughter and applause. I
never asked the architect to modify his
plan in any particular, or to cut off any
embellishment of the building. On the
contrary I aimed to make it as sub
stantial as first-class mechanics, stone,
brick and iroa-could make it. It is here
before you, whether it is a monument of
financial folly or sagacity time only will
prove. So far as I am personally con
cerned I feel only that I have done some
thing to be remembered by. But wheth
er I succed or fail, this building will
stand here for ages and I trust the citi
zens of Omaha will take it as an ex
ample and put up buildings that will
compare favorably with it. As for my
self it matters little. A few more years
and I am done. I feel that I have done
my duty as a man and as a citizen. It
has been a hard struggle, and one that
no one but myself will ever realize in
building up the Bee. No wife nor child
knows what I have passed through, but
the result is here.
I feel grateful that I have been in
strumental in the first reunion of the
Omaha press. For the first time in
twenty-five years the newspaper men
have met around the banquet table and
have entered hand in hand together to
testify their appreciation of the work of
one of their number. Instead of decry
ine. and tearincr down, and belittling,
they have come here to encourage and to
advertise the good wont tnai nas oeen
done here. I hope this is not the last
time that the press of this city will get
together in a social way and that I may
live to be present at other reunions
brought about by our contemporaries
able to emulate this example. I hope to
be with the rest of you to celebrate the
completion of other newspaper build
ings fire-proof, commodious, and in
every way fitted to be temples of jour
nalism. There are today ten fire-proof
newspaper buildings in America. This
number is constantly increasing, and I
feel proud that, for the present at least,
the Omaha Bee's is the largest and most
perfect among them. It is no idle boast;
I have seen all of them, or all but one,
for there is one under construction, de
signed by the same architect that drew
the designs of the Bee building, and I
know that while it will rise to a great
er height than does this building, it will
cover less ground. Now, it may sound
very strange when it is advertised to the
people of the United States, and to peo
ple abroad, that in Omaha, a city of
125,000 to 180,000 inhabitants, 'stands
the largest newspaper building on the
giooe. inn n is a raci mat w iu go inr
toward giving Omaha a reputation, and,
perhaps, materially assist in her growth
and prosperity.
I thank yon each and alitor your
presence here tonight, and I hope that,
although there may be hard words pass
between us in the strife which our pro
fession imnoses upon us. we shall all en
courage public enterprises and endeavor
to unite us on all occasions where the
interests of Omaha, Nebraska and the
great west are concerned, and that we
shall use all our energy and resources in
laboring for the welfare of this greater
and better half of the continent. We
scarcely realize that we are in the midst
of a great empire, and that we are mak
ing history and building up a great em
pire, but such is the case.
Again I thank you for your encourag
ing presence, and trust that we may
meet to certify to the people of this city
and state that newspaper men can meet,
and on fitting occasions shake hands
across the bloody chasm.

A destructive wind storm swept over
Peru, IncL, last Tuesday afternoon, doing
great damage. Trees, fences, telegraph
and telephone poles were levelled and
many dwellings injured. Several freight
cars standing on the Lake Erie & West

pushed with great velocity through the
regular shops. The total loss is many
thousand dollars. Much damage was
done to growing crops throughout the
Miami country.
Nobody Aaxloas to Crowd Us.
The London Times kindly suggests
that Germany will think twice before
provoking a contest with the United
States. - This a mild way to put it. Any
one of the great powers of the world
would think eight or ten times before
beginning a contest with us. There is a
good deal of nonsense written about war
clouds. N. Y. World.

The season of commencements is upon
us. From all quarters of the land the
young graduate is prepared with his
oration and his essay to solve, off-hand,'
the great questions of the day in poli
tics, economics, and philosophy with a
self-assurance that at once robs criticism
of its barbs. The truth is, however, no-,
body takes these literary productions
seriously. They are expected at gradu
ation exercises, and ve that distinct
charm to commencements which " fcf
the graduations of today just about what
they were fifty years ago. It may wall
be asked if much of the old forms of
education, wmoa are axywaareao promt
neatly portrayed as on
be not wholly obsolete. The old tradi
tions of education still survive, sad are
difficult to eradicate. The great faalt
with the education of today is that it
does not clear the shifts thoroughly of
its false notions. The world wants saoh
sn educational training as shall fit young
men and tours? women, after a four
years course, to take up the business of
practical life without first being obliged,
after coming oat of school, to begin all
over again.
The above, from the Omaha Bee, is a'
very fair objection to the public school
system. Common sense has always sug
gested the practical view of education
provided by the public for the general
good, and should include what is called
industrial training or schools of manual
labor. .

The man who goes about his barn with
a pipe or cigar is recommended to take
out an insurance policy at once from one
of the.old line companies, in such case,
for two reasons: First, such carelessness
should be made to pay as high as possi
ble for its fun, and second, auch a man
ought not to impose upon his neighbors
who form the basis of the farmers mutu
al companies. We saw a man not long
ago smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable. He said he had
done it for years and had not had a fire

smoke in a powder mill for years without
causing an explosion, but he would be a

At Lyons, during thejrain storm one
night last week, the lightning performed
some very singular freaks. What ap
peared like a ball -of fire was seen .de
scending upon the house of Ernst Klotz,
and to divide into two balls, one going
to each of the two lightning rods with
which the house is provided. Onavaf
the bolts followed partially tbais
melting it considerably, and partially
the chimney, running down tbV stove
pipe into the kitchen, throwingoff the
covers of the stove, filling the room with
fire and smoke, and throwing two of Mr.

members of the family were badly
shocked and frightened, but none of
them, not even the children, materially

During the heavy rain storm of Satur
day week a girl named Mabel Peck, liv
ing with her parents about two miles
east of Kennard,on the 'Fremont, Elk
horn & Missouri Valley railway, while
out looking after a litter of young pigs,
discovered the water running over the
track, and also that the track had been
moved out of line and undermined.
Knowing that a train was boor due from
the west, she took a position ia the cen
ter of the track, and by vigorously wav
ing an old coat, which she had thrown
over her shoulders to 'protect herself
from the rain, succeeded in flagging the
train, which was a heavy freight, and
running at full speed on a down grade.
The engineer of the train says that but
for the presence of mind and pluck of
the girl, only 19 years of age, the train
would have been thrown off the embank
ment and probaly smashed to flinders, to
say nothing of the lives endangered.
Even the Nebraska youth can be depend
ed upon in a general way to do the prop
er thing at the proper time. The Jour
nal has not yet however, heard of any
recognition of this act by the railroad
company, whose property was saved,
along with the lives of some of its work
men. Perhaps they are not ostentatious
in their acknowledgement of this act of
good judgment, but we would suggest
that a non-transferable, life pass over
their various lines of road would not; be
out of the way as a memento of theoo
casion. Hard Tiae.
Editor Journal: Years ago I re
member much talk about hard times and
to this day the same complaint is heard
occasionally. One person says he never
was so hard-up for money in all his life.
Please stop a moment, my good friend,
and consider. Well, yes, my mind does
go back to the grasshopper ravages in
the west and my crops were eaten up for
two years in succession. For a while I
thought it was a matter of life and death
with me. I, too, says a pioneer Nebras
kan, have not forgotten the time when I
hauled corn for miles to the nearest
market place and once encountered a
three days blizzard which nearly froze
me to death, That was before so many
railroads had dared to cross the fair
plains of Nebraska. Oh, yes! chimes in
a stripling of a boy, last summer I
worked so hard in the harvest field that
my back was lame for ever so long. This
year father bought a new self-binder.
And L responds a farmer's wife, remem
ber how I once milked and churned the
cream from a dozen cows, then during
the hot weather carried the butter in a
lumber wagon to" town, covered with
prairie grass to keep it from melting.
But that is a thing of the past, thanks
for the blessings of a creamery. It is an
old saying, "So goes the world." Some
people have too much work, a few cannot
find anything to do. Some strike for
higher wages, and many are glad to work
for their board. Others are worried over
debts and find it hard to get out and
harder still to keep out of debt Some
are tired of a good paying business and
desire a different occupation. Many are
troubled with sickness. Some advocate
reform in various ways and some think
the old way is good enoug Go wfinra
you may, you will find this state of; af
fairs. Human beings, as a rule, are
difficult to please. Li the Good Book
there is a passage that reads like this:
"Godliness with contentment is great
gain and my candid belief is that who
ever is so fortunate as to possess this
spirit of content, cannot be so very poor
