Not content ivith paying $200,
000 for the luxury of a miniature re
bellion, Arkansas now proposes to
finish the short distance that sepa
rates her from irredeemable bank
ruptcy, by organizing impeach
ments on the wholesale plan, as a
sequel to the bloody war of tile TVs.
The Arkansas Legislature lias al
ready set about this glorious task by
impeaching the Judges of the Su
preme Court, several State officers
and a number of disloyal sheriff-.
Fortunately many of these offend
ers will consider impeachment at
this stago of the game a most time
ly blessing in disguise.
A decisox just promulgated by
Judge Dillon, of the U. S. Circuit
Court, in the case of Casper vs
Bueua Vista county, Iowa, may be
of some interest to many people in
this State. The Judge holds that
counties may issue negotiable securi
ties for borrowed money to aid in
specific, public improvement there
in, or to meet extraordinary ex
penditures, if previously authorized
by a vote of the people, but not
otherwise. Bonds under the seal
and signed by the proper officers of
the county, payable to bearer and
containing a recital that they are
issued pursuant to a vote of the
people of the county, are pre
sumptively valid, although the par
ticular purpose for which the bonds
were voted is not therein stated.
Already some of the eastern poli
ticians are planing to discredit the
returns from the western counties.
But that old cry of fraudulent re
turns M-ont wiut, The returns are
by sworn officers of the Jaw, with
names and residences and can't so
easily be invalidated. It doesn't
follow because the west is growing
beyond the conception of eastern
men, that therefore she isn't grow
ing so fast. Lowell Register.
This cry of stop thief is, it seems
to us, rather premature in that quar
ter. How did our Lowell contem
porary come by a knowlege of the
plans of eastern politicians? The
Bee is favorably located for general
information about this class, and
yet it lias never heard even the
faintest whisper relative to this ten
der subject, If any suspicion shall,
in the future be aroused, touching
frontier census taking, it must cer
tainly be laid at the door of the Reg
ister. A failure to realize their bright
anticipations might have been born
witk equianimity, but when Presi
dent Dillon ordered a discharge of a
large proportion of the present
working force in the shops be has
truck a blow at Omaha that will
sjoon be felt by all classes of her
eitizens.
Already one hundred and twenty
mechanics have been thrown out of
employment, and we understand
further discharges may soon follow.
Assuming an average income of
$2.50 per day for each mechanic
there is a reduction of $300 per day,
or $7,800 per mouth in our current
money circulation.
policy just inaugurated by President
Dillon in the Union Pacific car and
laachine departments. '
We bad been repeatedly assured
from official quarters that the com
pany proposed to enlarge its manu
facturing facilities in Omaha and
increase Its mechanical force. Such
a policy would, if carried out, have
partly compensated Omaha for the
loss sustained through the com
panies failure to complete the depot
ad general office buildings.
The Bee is naturally endowed
with a cheerful and hopeful dispo
sition. It believes that tireless in
dustry will accomplish more than
tiresome praying or idle croaking.
At the same time it cannot repress
a feeling of disappointment at the
"We are Informed that this policy
has been prompted, partly by a de
sire for eeonomy and retrenchment,
and principally because cars can be
manufactured cheaper at eastern
factories than at Omaha. 2sow,
admitting this fact, we apprehend
that the superior finish and in
creased durability of the Omaha
built cars over those built at eastern
factories, will more than make up
the difference in the original cost.
Even if the actual cost of Omaha
built cars was not fully compensated
for by the improved finish and
strength, the Company could well
afford to encourage manufacturing
at this point, with an ultimate view
of building up a commercial center
that would draw traffic to their line.
Quite apart from these pecuniary
considerations, we deem it but our
duty to appeal to the Union Pacific
managers in behalf of the working
men so suddenly and unceremonN
ously thrown out of employment
A majority of them have come to
Omaha to establish a permanent
home. They have invested their
small earnings in this locality.
And now they find themselves in a
most embarrassing position. "With
out a definite prospect of re-employment,
they cannot afford to remain,
and many of them have not the
means to go elsewhere in search of
work. Even if the prospect for re
employment was good, they can
not remain idle very long without
aid from some quarter.
CENTRAL CITY IN FLAMES.
Pall Account of the Destruction
of Central City.
Total Loss Estimated at $750,
000. Interesting Incidents of the
Disaster.
The startling intelligence of the
most destructive conflagration that
has ever transpired in Colorado,
reaches us through the Denver
"World, of May 23:
The following extracts tell the sad
narrative of the fearful disaster that
laid the principal business por
tion of Centraf City in ashes last
Thursday within the brief period of
two hours.
It is now the generally accepted
belief In Central, that the fire origi
nated in the Chinese quarter, in a
two-story frame tenement on Spring
street, near its junction with Grego
ry, and opposite what is commonly
known as the big barn. The upper
stoiy of the house was occupied as a
"washee" establishment, There had
been a death in the house, and a
celestial funeral was in progress;
conducted according to the rites of
the Chinese religion, which included
something in the cremation line.for
which an iron or tin vessel filled with
live coals of fire in some of its forms
was used. And it is the commonly
accredited supposition that this was
in some way upset, and the com
bustible pitch pine of which the
floor of tho building was made, igni
ted. The building being an old one
burned almost as rapidly as tinder,
soon communicating the flames to
the adjoining house, which was
built ofjike material, and in a brief
bpaceoT time Spring street was one
lurid flame of fire.
Beaching Bridge street, the flames
quickly enveloped the half dozen or
more frame buildings thereon, and
then leaped across the gulch and
seized upon Lake's frame store, on
Main street, and spread rapidly to
the row of frame mercantile houses
adjoining. Next, the flames reach
ed across Main street to "Wisebart &
Teller's block.
Then the main cloumn of fire
divided, one portion going towards
Lawrence street, and the other up
Nevada, consuming the row of
frame buildings on the same. Those
who were striving to save their
property on these two streets we're
obliged to abandon the attempt on
account of the intensity of the heat,
and seek refuge on the mountain
sides. And the destroying column
of fire swept restlessly up Main
street, de-i roying In its course all the
largest and best filled stores in the
city, dry goods houses, furniture
establiilim -ntn, jewelry stores,
banks, etc.
Reaching Lawrence street, the
flames attacked Concert Hall, the
express ofl'.oe, and the Theatre
building, which were entirely con
sumed. The lire broke out at about elcvon
o'clock, and its progress was stop
ped at t wo. Thus In the short space
of two hours was the entire bu-i-ness
portion of the second city of
the territory destroyed by fire ; only
three buildings being left, Roworth
fc Co. 'a on Main street, and Rey
nolds' and Freas', on Lawrence. A
space in the shape of an equilateral
triangle, sides about six hundred
feet long, in which the buildim
were crowded together about as
thick us was possible, was burned
over Altogether a hundred and
flfiy buildings were consumed. Fif
teen woro briok and the rest frame.
Many were handsome and costly
structures. About four hundred jer
sons were left homeless.
The total loss is estimated at no
less than three quarters of a million.
The heaviest loss was on stocks
of goods. So rapidly did the flames
spread thnt in most instances noth
ing could be saved. The cellars and
underground vaults from which
merchants had expected so much
availe 1 but little. All the mail mat
ter in the postoffice was lost except
the registered letters, which wero
saved in "Wells, Fargo & Co.s safe.
Thursday night was one not soon
to be forgotten in Central. The tall
standing brick walls of distmvnl
r buildings, and the lurid glare of the
smouitienng rums, were well fitted
to inspire-terror. Despite the orders
of the Maj-or, there was some
drunkenness on the streets, and as
usual the night prowlers went out
after booty. Intense feeling was
maniiesiea against the Chinese,
and about twelve o'clock a mad
dened band started for Black Hawk
to drive the offending Celestials
from the country, but were in some
way induced to desist "With diffi
culty was shelter found for the
homeless ones. The Teller House
and National Hotel were literally
packed with them, and some 300
persons were obliged to "pass the
night la the old Montana Stamp
Mill, and yesterday they were
busily engaged In hunting tempor
ary quarters.
NEBRASKA SKETCHES.
Prom Omaha to Blair by Way
of Elkhorn City.
Correspondncj of the Bee 1
Blair, Nebraska,
3Iay 26, 1874. J
Editor Omaha Bee :
One of the most pleasant drives
to be found anywhere, is on the
military road, running northwest
from Omaha. The scenery is truly
lovely, while the vast green billows
of the prairie, stretching away far as
the eye can reach, adds a feeling of
sublimity to the joy of contemplat
ing the beautiful, and as you gaze
back on the dust and smoke of the
city in the distance, and around
you at the bright, fresh glowing col
ors of nature in holiday garments,
and listen to the birds twittering
their sweet carols, a sense of free
dom and delicious repose gently
steals over you, and you feel like
singing,
"I want to be a Grarger,
And with tne Grangers stand."
The first ten miles of this road
has fine farms on eith t hand, look
ing like huge gardens. The crops
are doing well, considering the very
late spring. The farmers are now
praying for rain.
After crossing the Big Pappillion,
there is miles to be traveled before
you see a single house. Here the
speculators hold section after sec
tion of the finest land in the county,
which they refuse to sell at any
thing like the prices offered. If all
the rich prairie land laying idle
within twenty miles of Omaha
was cultivated, the benefit to our
city would be incalculable. If our
legislators could pass acts
hi regard to taxation which
would discriminate between
idle and cultivated by adding large
ly to the assessments-on the former,
and reducing them on the latter, it
would not be lone before the lands
hi question would pass into the
hands of cultivators of the soil.
Twenty-three miles from Omaha
is Elkhorn City. This is the ghost
of a village ; its glory has departed ;
the U. P. left it out in the cold, con
sequently it is now what Council
Blufls will be ten years hence. But
here you find magnificent farms,
some of them have been under cul
tivation fifteen or twenty years.
Here you can find long lanes, where
the walnut and the maple JstaniU
ing rank after rank on either side of
the road, plainly show tho perfect
adaptability of our prairie soil for
producing the finest lumber trees.
Some of tho maples we saw were
from one to three feet in diameter
at the base.
Tho surface is gently undulating,
not hilly. The soil is a rich, dark
loam, and streams of living water
abound. From Elkhorn Valley our
road lay through a fine stretch of
uninhabited prairie. On nearing
tho Missouri River valley the sur
face is more rough and the soil is
poorer, but unoccupied land is only
occasionally found.
In RIair we find a thriving town.
A lino brick block is being erected
by Messrs. Castellan & Hallen, and
other substantial Improvements are
projected. A Council of Industry
was organized here two weeks ago.
The advent of the new order crea
ted quite a sensation, which has
not yet subsided. Dr. Palmer is the
Grand High Caliph.
Saturday rjight about 12 M. there
was a lively rumpus between a man
named J. D. Armstrong and a boy
of sixteen. Both were employed in
the livery stable of Mr. W. D. Gross.
The quarrel commenced about some
blankets which the boy wanted for
his bed, and which the man refused
to let him have. The boy heoamc
very noisy and Armstrong under
took to take care of him with a
hickory ramrod, when the diminu
tive party broughtin an "offset" in
the shape of a base ball club. Arnu
strong "saw" the hasp hall club, and
"went better" to the extent of a
double-barreled shotgun; one bar
rel of which was discharged at the
boy, missing his head by only a few
inches. A young man who was
present, becoming alarmed for his
personal safety, (owing to the unset
tled condition of afluirs) leaped from
a second story window. The sher
iff stopped the fnn by arresting
Armstrong, who is now the Mr.
Selkirk of the Washington county
jail.
To-morrow we will be up and
away gathering honey for the many
readers of the Bek,

LINCOLN.
Industrial Revival at the Capi
tal City.
Corropondence of Omaha Bee.
Lincoln', Nebraska, V
May 2G, 1S74, J
The capital city is busy. Not be
cause of any unusual excitement,
however, as "busy" seems to be her
normal condition, and as a fellow
passenger on the B. & M. remarked
"it is a nice town.'2 The word nice
exprested a great deal.
Mr. Supervising Architect Mullet,
has been creating a bustle, as Is his
want, locating a site for the post
office, and visiting the quarries, on
special trains, in quest of the proper
quality of stone. The building is
to be erected on the south side of
Market Space, fronting south. The
dimensions have not, as yet, been
finally settled upon. Col. "Wilson
says it will probably be a three-story
and Mansard roof. Excavations for
the baseniont commenced on the
23th ult, and will be 63xS0 feet.
The most prominent hotels are un
dergoing the usual spring cleaning
and repainting. The largest one,
the Cannon House, has recently
been remodeled and renovated. It
is one of the few hotels west of the
Big Muddy, that have the Tele
graphic annunciator. Out from the
commodious office, a gentlemen's
reading and smoking room is being
fitted up, a la Grand Central. In
lieu a Merchants Club, a Board of
Trade has been organized. Most of
the prominent citizens are mem
bers. The government land claims are
being taken at this office, at the rate
of sixty-one per week,
"While passing from the entrance
to tne delivery window or the post
office I noticed one gentleman read
ing the Omaha Herald, and four
gentleman with copies of the Bee.
I make mention of this Incident as
an illustration of the signal good
taste displayed by the major part of
the Lincolnites in the selection of a
newspaper.
Now and then one meets a gen
uine specimen of the frontier farmer,
whose bluff, hearty manners and
candid speech are proverbial.
"Was out near the farm of the
good Mr. , admiring the pigs,
the beautiful grain fields, and all
that sort of thing. Soon beheld
Mr. leaning against a post
"Good morning, sir," says I.
Mr. ""What the devil you
doin' round 'ere?"
Cor. "Do you take the Bee, Mr.
)
Mr. . "You Bee d d, and

with his right limb to kick. I
dodged, and walked slowly away
to see another party. Mr. is a
Granger, and probably thought I
wanted to borrow a pig. I didn't

H0HE7 FOB THE LADIES.
Everything is beaded now for out
door wear.
Jet crowns for full-dress occas
ions are in fashion.
A small gold hand holding a
pearl is new in ear-rings.
Round lace handkerchiefs are
now worn around the neck, instead
of the unnecessary long lace scarfs.
Beaded black sacques areamong
the spring importations, and take
the place of the Llama ones of past
seasons.
The proposition to introduce la
dies as railroad conductors is frown
ed upon in view of the fact that
their trains are always behind.
A young lady in Indianola, Iowa,
having contracted a bill of $12 for
chewing gum, her unreasonable
papa refuses to liquidate the same.
St. Louis has a new sensation in
the shaje of a woman in black, who
appears at midnight and ties a
white ribbon on certain lamp posts.
In Liberia whispers can be heard
half a mile, and when a fellow goes
sparking he carries a slate and
writes down what he desires to say.
A young lady in Ohio was so
moved by a sermon, that in the
midst of the congregation, she took
out her ear-rings, and stripped the
flowers from her bonnet.
Mohairsuits are quite fashionable;
gray being the most popular color.
They make up very handsomely,
and will be found durable and sub
stantial. Long trains are coming in again
for summer dresses intended for eve
ning wear. They are gracefully
louped at the sides and back by
meagsof a long sash.
A man in Iowa named Gabriel
Schmidt has just killed his wife for
sewing a wrong button on his coat.
It was "the last button on Gabe's
coat" that dissolved the connubial
link.
The Des Moines Journal says :
"Mrs. Tupper, on Monday, shipped
bees and fowls to Wisconsin and
Chicago, ton hives to Nobraska, and
Queens to Texas, and. this is a sam
ple of her every day business."
All puffs, rolls and huge chignons
are ruieaout. xno liair is now worn
parted in the center, drawn smoothly
from the face, and braided neatly to
the back of the head.
In Paris maroon skirts with
noisette tunics are great favorites.
These colors, says a fashion-writer,
are pleasant to the eye, and harmo
nize beautifully together, which is
more than sufficient reason for tlieir
vogue.
Dressy canopy-shaped parasols of
black silk are embroidered with jet
and edged with jet fringe. Lace
covered parasols with ivory or coral
sticks, are only suitable for dressy
carriage or reception toilettes.
A female compositor in the office
of the New South, Denuison, Texas,
could not have entertained any mis
givings of trichina, or she would
not have eloped with T. W. Ham,
the proprietor, who left a wife be
hind. A Porter county, (Ind.) young
lady has the lofty ambition to raise
2,000 chickens this season. How
much nobler it would be were she to
devote hor heaven-born energies to
poetry, pianos and croquet. Cour-ier-Journal.
Young ladies who take a nap on
Sunday afternoon, should have the
door bell placed upon the head
board of their bedsteads. It is very
trying on a young gentleman who
wishes to drop in to bo compelled to
stand and jerk the bell for half an
hour, especially when his Sunday
boots are waking up his corns.
The Boston Young Men's Chris
tian Association had n lively debate
on the question of admitting young
women to membership. The mat
ter was finally laid upon the table,
and it is evident that many promi
nent members are opposed to the
measure, and doubtless a majority
would vote'ngalnst jt.
A young wife once cured her bus
band of a disposition to absent him
self from home at nights by provi
ding him with an excellent dinner,
and saying to him nfterward:
"George, if you find a sweeter spot
than our home, describe it to me,
and Lwill rival it, if I die in the at
tempt." A kiss and a few tears
completed the victory.
A very style of walking prevails
to a great extent among the ladies
of New York who are pleased to
call themselves fashionables. Arms
akimbo, head tossed on -one side,
and eyes turned heavenward, they
saunter down the street an embod
iment of impudence and sang froid
painful to see among ladies. The
"girl of the period" is unqueatiuna.

There is a little anecdote appropos
ofthelownecked ball dresses of the

to her partner in the german at one
of the late Paris balls; "I am tired
to death. I am going home to un

There was a party given in Dallas,
Kansas, and this is tho way a re
porter of that place goes into the
toilette business : "Miss X wore
a red bombazinn rirow. niriiJ witii
point alpaca, and an overskirt of
rose gingham with a border of
parbely blossoms. Her tournure
was particularly noticeable, from the
fact that her hair was so delicious

wore No. 9, lilac, double button
gloves, and No. 0 store shoes slashed
at the heels, and pompadour socks.
The question of precedency is
grievously troubling the soul of the
new-made Duchess of Edinburgh,
and she is in the sulks. The Eng
lish "Order of Precedence Among
Women" sets out with the general
rule that "Unmarried females take
their rank from their fathers, mar
ried ones from their husbands, if
superior In rank to themselves.' ' It
then goes on to give the special or
der of precedence as follows: The
