Jordan will lec ture at the Court House on Wed nesday evening, at 8 o'pjock, on the subject, "The Emancipation f Je Colored People of tho "West India Islands." Admission free. The jury in the"fcase of Cronin, tried in the District Court for grand larceny, after being out all night, came into court yesterday, and reported that they could not agree. They were then discharged. The Warm Spring Indians did not have a very large house last night To those who had never seen much of Indians, the entertain ment was of course a novel one. But Omaha is too much of a West 's cm town for such a performance. A couple ot young roosters named Itanney and Keeler, of Glen wood, Iowa, stole a two hundred dollar gold watchand came to Oma ha yesterday. Learning that their friends were on their track, they returned home in the evening. Arrangements are being made for a grand excursion and pic-nic for the Baptist Sunday School next -week. They will cither go to Pap pillion, or else to Fremont, thence Uo Blair, and back to Omaha, mak ing a circuit of about 100 miles. Frank Freeiand, a Granger, drank too much co-operative beer and whisky Monday. He was ar rested, and this morning was crusa- ded by Judge Wilbur, who gave him a sound temperance "lecture, and sent him home. - The Bev. J. Fletcher Jordan, delivered a very interesting lecture last evening, at the A. M. E. Church, to quite a large r.ndiencc; the sub- Ject being "Practical Living." The ' Jecture was listened to with marked attention by all. Richard Grace and James Fa gan were before the Police Court yes terday, for assaulting W. B. Reed, a young boy, near the Omaha & .Northwestern depot Monday. Grace was lectured and discharged; - while Fagan pleaded guilty and was . fined., '.

This vehicle is fullv equal in splendor and luxuri comfort to the others owned by He ilr. Bull. It is of the barouche pattern, and can be used in several styles, either open, closed, or half and half. It "was manufactured by Cunningham, of Kochester, New York, and cost $1,400. Mr. Bull has put upon the streets of Omaha some of the finest carriages ever built in this country, and they ..hmhh -sv 4 Via are certainty an uruwucui w city. The public appreciate uis en terprise by their liberal patronage. Mr. Bull is now engaged in a strict ly legitimate and honorable busi. ness, and deserves great credit He has considerable money in vested in this city, which he in tends to make his permanent home. Now that the pound has been established, the cow-catchers have been let loose on the war-path. It is their duty to take up all stock running at. large within the city, but they have no right to go into stables or yards and unloosen cows or other stock, as some boys at tempted to do last night on the alley between Harney and Howard streets. They tried to untie Jjouis Heybrook's cow, and also Marshal Sno wden's. Those boys are advised to go a little slow, as there are men who would not hesitate to put day light through them if they caught them committing ftrjy of tbeir deeds o! darkness on their premises.

The MUos practice this after noon at the Union grounds. All members are requested to be upon the grounds by 0 o'clock. Tho return match between the Resolutes and Milos, we understand, will be played Friday afternoon. The Resolutes winning the first game by a score of 22 to 18, it be hooves the b ys with the mythologi cal name to practice more. The Stars are getting ready to take the lead this year, and at the coming State Fair we may expect to see Omaha have her Base Ball prest'ge, so well earned by the "Elkhorns," restored. "The Snow Flake Flonr" Introduced by Li:tle k Williami. "TheSntiw Flake" brand of flour, manufactured by Wells & Nieman, of Schuyler, Nebraska, and intro duced in this city within the last two weeks by Little & William?, the grocery is taking the lead In this market, and is fast becoming the favorite flour. This flour is made of .Nebraska spring wheat, and has been put Into this market to compete with the best brands or St Louis winter wheat flour. It has been tried by many of 'our citizens, and has been found equally as good as, if not bet ter than St Louis brands of winter wheat This in itself" recommends it sufficiently, but as it is known that the price per barrel is from $3 to $4 less than St Louis winter wheat flour, it Is uo wonder that it has be come so popular in Omaha In so short a time. The second grade of this flour, "The Wellsville Mills," competes successfully with the best spring wheats in the market Messrs. Little k Williams have no hesitancy in guaranteeing these, flours to be the best in the market, and they refer to their many custo mers who have given them a trial. Messrs. L. & W. have been in business here for three years, and have built up a splendid trade. Their stock is composed of everything a. femlly can wish for in the grocery line. They also make a specialty of fine cigars, and Chf yftof and smok ing tobaoeoe. REMARKABLE CONVERSION. D. Balcombe becomes Son f Toil. joini Harrison Outfit-, Johnson's He makes himself famous by an Eloquent Speech- "When the DeTil was sick, The DeTil a monk would be; When the DeTil was well, The Derll a monk wis he." A great many people in this city expressed much surprise when Dr. Harrison Johnson, the air-castle architect and mechanic, became converted by the influence of Mrs. Van Cott's earnest exhortations; but a greater number will doubtless be much more surprised to learn that the aristocratic St A.D. Balcombe, manager of the Consolidated, has joined Doctor Harrison Johnson's and JudgeDudley's outfit, "The Pro tectors of Industry' or "Co-operative Union of the Industrial Class es." The opulent managerand the man of ease has condescended to become a son of toil. This wonder ful conversion was brought about by his uadying love for the laboring man, or, more likely, he was in duced to join the order by the ex ample of James Pattee, who also is now a son of toil; or, perhaps it was new moon, which sometimes puts queer Ideas into the heads of some people, that influenced the mana ger to take this step; or maybe it was the mysterious rites of the or der of Mr. Johnson, the prelimina ries of which may have been learn ed by the Douglas-street Saint while "toiling" within the classic precincts of Captain Lee's saloon,on Saturday nieht. the evening on which he was taken into the order. When the manager was conduct ed within the castle of the order, all all was huahed in silence. He was required to take the oath of allegi. ance and secrecy, and then ft new namft the name by which he is now known among the members of the order was given him. It was "Lengthened-sweetness-long drawn out." This is one of the initiatory ceremonies of the order. A hymn was then sung, entitled, "We&ke'em in." The manager joined in the hymn right heartily. The next ceremony was the sawing in two of a stick of wood, laid on a saw-buok. This was to indicate that he was not too proud to work, and that he had thrown off all aris tocratic pretentions. The goat which is supposed to be an institu tion in every secret society was now brqugjtin and turned loose. The manager was ordered to mount him, and take the customary ride. He" obediently straddled the goat, without tho use of astep-laddor, and then told him to go it which the same he did. After a few other similar ceremo nies, the manager was declared to be a member in full and good stand ing six feet three in his stocking feet, . Being now called upon to make a confessional speech to the order, he arose taking some littlo time to do it, but finally reaching his full height and spoke substantially as follows : Fellow citizens, sons of guns I beg pardon, I mean sons of toil and porjaborjng operatives : I am proud and happy to become a member of this noble order, foun ded by my Illustrious medical friend, Dr. Harrison Johnson, and that great legal luminary, Judge Erwln G. Dudley. May their shad ows never grow less, and may their offspring this noble order of the sons of toll dally increase in influ ence and power. It cannot but do otherwise, sustained as it is by those two men, assisted by Captain Lee, President of this lodge. Permit me to say, that I have al ways sympathized with the labor ing classes. Although I have moved in aristocratic circles, I repeat it, and repeat it boldly and without fear of contradiction, that my sympa thies have ever been with the work ing men. It is true, I admit that I have greatly depended upon the support of railroads, banks and rings, but that does not prevent me from being opposed to monopolies, aud down upon capital and all com binations that seek to oppress labor. Cries of "That's good," "Too true," " Correct, old Balky," "You're on the right path now, old ' Lengthened-sweetness-long-drawn-out'" Alter theso compli mentary Interruptions aud applause, the son of tod proceeded with bis sweetening process. I know that there has been con siderable corruption In this country, especially in the federal service. I am in favor of a new deal. I want these corruptlonlsts to take back seats for a while and let the indus trial toilers of whom E am now one, and proud of the honor, you bet have a chance. There Is one thing In which I sympathize with you more than in anything else, and that is, the de mand for more money. We need more money to carry on our busi ness. Our circulation I speak now from a publisher's, stand-point of view Is altogether too limited. What we have got to do is to insist upon more greenbacks. Green backs are good good enough for me. I can pay my debts with preenbacks, and I am willing to ,take them at any and all times. Expansion Is what we want The country Is growing. We mast expand. With the men I see around me, I am confident that we can .achieve success in the expan don movemeat We must hava more money. Why even my friend Pattee knows that there is not enough money in circulation to run a respectable lottery." Thus ended this remarkable out bunt of eloquent wisdom from the manaeerof the eooaoUdated. He was loudly and enthuaiaettcally ajw plauded, and was congratulated by all for having so manfully unbo somed himself and declared himself a son of toil. The meeting then adjourned, it is intimated, to Captain Lee's head quarters for the sons of toiL CAMP MEETING. The Opening Exercises. The Methodist camp meeting was begun Monday evening at the Van Cott tent by theMp. River Ministe rial Association. The Rev. Mr. Es tabrook preached a sermon, which was listened to with leep interest by the large congregation present. A business meeting of the association, including ministers on both sides of the river, was held in the parlors of the church this afternoon, 'lhere were quite a number of clergymen present from different parts of the State, and more are expected by to morrow. " Last evening the first regular ses sion of the ten days' camp meeting by the Nebraska State Ministerial Association, took place. The Rev. C. L. King, of Schuyler, will preach the sermon. At the close of tho camp meeting, the tent will be taken to Bennet, a few miles from Lincoln, where an other camp meeting is to be held, commencing on the first of July.

Mansfield, Thome and Byrne, be confirmed, and the con sideration of those be postponed one week. Mr. Campbell favored the post ponement The Marshal got up and spoke against " the' appointments " of the Mayor. He spoke particularly in favor of Mansfield, Thorne and Byrne.

PLEASE CALL AND EXAM- LINCOLN. A Hungry and Pious Crew. Incidents of the Sunday School Excursion. Heath of a Prominent Sailroad Officer. Lincoln Submerged Ac-, &c, by a Flood. &o. (Coiresponaence ot the Bke.) Lincoln, June 15, 1874. Editor Omaha Bee : If the Lincoln people can't get a square meal one way they will another. The cheapest and most respectable way they have, is to get up an excursion to some of our sister cities; they call them Sunday school excursions generally, then all turn out, from the great aspirant to a seat in the Senate, to the most hum ble servant girl in the city. If Ne braska were to be invaded by a foreign foe, and that foe should be so unfortunate as to make the grass grown streets of Nebraska City their camp ground, the numerous Briga diers and Colonels belonging to the "Governor's Staft" would beat their drums in vain should they come here for help. It would be impossi ble under such circumstances to arouse a spark of patriotism within the breast of a single Lincolnite. But when Nebraska City gets a goodly amount of eatables on hand, the shrewd diplomacy of our Sun day School Superintendents is sure to result in an invitation from them to the Lincoln people, requesting a visit, adding that the tables will be spread in the Park. This arouses their enthusiasm, and immediately the invitation is accepted. 'l ne aunaay School people having received the invitation for the "lit- . tie Jambs," a grand excursion was announced tor Wednesday, June 10th. Wednesday morning dawned at last, but what a shame ! The rain came down In torrents. To ward the hour for starting, howev er, the heavy clouds broke away, and, spurred on by hunger at least we can think of no other induce ment strong -enough to entice peo ple from a cheerful home under suoh oiroumstancesthoy flocked to the depot until fifteen cars were fill ed to overflowing. Beside witnessing hats, caps, veils and even parasols bid their owners a long farewell in obedience to those gentle zephyrs, the follow ing Items were noticeable regarding Improvements along the line of the M. P. The first station, Bennett, is located about fifteen miles from Lincoln, and is improving fast. It numbers six or eight stores, and they are developing an excellent stone quarry near the place. Pal myra, lour miles from Bennett, is not so large, neither does it present so lively an appearance. Tom. Price, of Bennett, is erecting a steam mill, and in the way of public buildings they have two hotels and the Inevitable saloon. Unadllla is the next station, but is very small, although surrounded by a fine coun- trv. and mav vet become a flourish: jng npte!"placc. fphen comes Syra cuse, a town or consiaerame im portance. Tnpy have a commo dious and tasty sohooi building, twelve or fifteen stores, and three saloons. It has every appearance of being a thrifty, enterprising place. The train reached Nebraska City at 12:45. Some went directly to the park, others to the hotels. Ba( go where they would," vitusls were scarce. The good people had been feeding religious gentlemen in at tendance upon the Sunday School Convention for several days, and ther supply raj), short, T-hp weather was very disagreeable, and from the park they wont to tho Presbyterian church, wboro quite an Interesting session was held, and at 5 o'clock the train left for home, arriving t 8:30. Notwithstanding the weather was somewhat unpleasant, the greatrnajorjty enjoyed tljemselves, and tp'pxfiursioh Jsproubuhped a success. On Friday last at 11 o'clock a. m. George Sr Ifarris, Land Commis sioner of tbe P; & M, ra)road com pany, breathed his last, He had been indisposed for some time past, but It was generally believed that his iron constitution would weather the storm, and the old man be spared for many years. But It was otherwise ordered, and temperance has been rolibcd of a conscientious advocate; his" chosen church," cine of Its firmest pillars, and Christianity, one of its noblest examples. It but remains for every drunkard, for every" person who stood In need of a helping band; ayej for society Itself, to say, fare well, kind friend, farewell. Mr. Harris acted as Land Com missioner for the Hannibal and St Joseph railroad, for fourteen years, and since 1809, has filled the same position for the B. & M. Co. He has done much toward settling up Ne braska with good, substantial citi- ieR3. Saturday night tho olty was visi ted by a fearful storm. The rain poured In torrents from about 8 till 11 p. m. The water ran through the streets, until, we mistrust some of the mo31 superstitious, began stu dying the construction of an ark. Be that as it may, to travel without wet feet, transportation of some kind was needed. As to the amount of damage done, we are at present unable to say. The cellar under more than one house was substitu ted for a cistern; and some of the merchants lost considerable proper ty in the same way. All the railroads runuingin here suffered more or less, much of the A. &. N. and B. & M. tracks being entirely undpr water. The M. P. probably suffered the least, and if operations are deayed at a), it will bebutfor a short tme. Some of the houses on the "bottom" were entirely surrounded, and no doubt many residing in those humble dwellings awoke to find their beds badly "wet." Sunday, a greater portion of "the day, the fire engine was kept pumping watpr out of the cellar under Hallo's Opera House, where merchandise was stored. Grimes. Type Fob Sale!

Editor Bee : I see by your Issue of the 9th, that the boy who stood on the burning deck is not, as was popularly sup posed, dead, but still lives, and his domicile is "Lone Tree." Now I was much surprised, and doubt your many readers were likewise, having been led to believe by reading his tory that the youth aforesaid per ished in the flames that lit. etc. Anyway he was supposed to be a brave cuss, and of course he will give us his name I mean his other name. I take it that Casablanca id only his maid en name, on his mother's side. His statements concerning the bridge and railroad were false. That I circulated the call, was true; that all of our business men signed it, Is true ; that there was no meeting, is true; about the contortions, he is not heavy enough to cause them ; about my being a school boy, I never was; but I have been a boy. About my being dead, as one would infer, from his alluding to ashes; he will find me an active corpse. As to the bridge, we will get one soon, aud as to the railroad; when he lives a little longer he will know more, but not much. Come again Cassa. Yours, E. H. Parker.
