He was employed at "Wirth's restaurant. - We did not intend our notice of the lady barber establishment, in Thursday's issue, to affect the trade of that institution, and hearing sev eral persons who have patronized the shop speak very highly of the treatment they received, we take great pleasure in recommending it.

Weather and Warn Tie Generally. got The ffew Foitofiee- Bee" Eeporter Capitol- Visits the Correspondence ot ThicBM.) Lincoln, July 9, 1874. Editor Omaha Bee : Lincoln is hot, or rather the weather is, which amounts to the same thing. Yesterday was the warmest of the season. The morn ing was sultry ana towara noon the thermometers began to look as though they felt unequal to the oc casion. After twelve o'clock they got confused and unreliable, some of them guessing it ought to be 103, while others said it was at least 106 or 107. There has been a street advertising thermometer man here lately and his tubes, more enterprising than the common kind, run their mer cury up to 140 and 150. Some of them overdid the business and col lansed. It was a sweaty day all around. City architect Roberts went tor Stout William's jail contract, and mace him prespire under an In vestigation hot as the day. Diplomacy accomplishes wonders, and in this case William was "Stout" enough to come out of the heat as cool and vigorous as though he had enjoyed a Turkish bath. Two railroad companies, big enough to know better, took each other by the ear and tugged away ( like a pair of hair-pulling boys, till night and a drencuiug snower re duced their heads to a more sensible mood. That fight is unsettled yet They are calling names and throw ing stones to-day, but each seems to avoid a closer contact. The end is not yet. Work on the new "postofflce" has commenced, and Thomas, the money-changer, who holds the ap pointment of disbursing agent, dis tributed about $3,000 of Uncle Sam's I ducats yesterday. Whether or not this had anything to do wiin tne in tense heat, we are unprepared to siy. There Is a fair amount of building in progress, and more in contempla tion. Rumor hath it that Cunning ham, Stout and Wilson are prepar ing to erect a private state treasury building on the corner of O and Tenth streets. That banking firm, with' the long name, in Omaha, had better ''Jook a leedle out" The Supreme Court s in sessqn and has quite ft lpngtby fiockpt fa djspose of, Judge Lake and his associates have our sympathy. We are ambitious. Our expecta tions are above common things, and actually rise to the sublime heights of a contiact for waste paper from the capitoline departments at some time In th'e dim future, If we are patient and place a quantity of lucre "where it will do the most good." The dav was quite the reverse of Frost(y), but desiring to view the scene of our future trade in paper stock wp set our face toward the "magnificent'' strypture wfclpk s tho synosure of the longing eyes" of so many eminent Nebraakans, and entered its square northern portal. Ascending a flight of stairs, we rapped timidly on the door labelled "Povprnq.r's Room." Here disap pointment awaited us, as hjs inuph abused excellency was absent, and we were confronted by a common mortal, in the person of his private secretary, who, by the way, is a very urbane gentleman. The only thing we distinctly remember noticing n fhjs office was the correspondence files, three in number j a small, thin one labelled "personal;" a larger one, "miscellaneous," and the third larger than both of the oth ers together, marked "Grangers." This was suggestive of efforts on the part of the modest Patrons to abolish "middle men," t. c, tnose who stand between them and the State crib. Secretary of State Gosper took us under his wing, and kindly con ducted us to the auditor's office, where we had the honor of a few moments conversation with Judge Weston, about the only man we saw in the city who is not a candi date for Governor or U. S. Senator. (The regular candidate for treasurer, and the only one we have heard of so far, Is a Greeleyite nickel-counter of Plattsmouth.) The Judge has the best of reasons for not being a candidate for office. The one he holds lasts two years longer, if the Tecumseh Chieftain don't turn him out, and itself in. While in the building, we visited the Treasurer's office, and exercised our priviledge of citizenship, by looking at and into the strong box, and through the books. Seeing the various intricate and volumnious ac counts, all kept in the same clear, plain hand, and learning it was the work of G. M. Bartlett, Esq , the deputy treasurer, made us rejoice that we held a good position on th Bee staff, with a waste paper con tract in prospective, and could earn our daily bread in a manner less laborious than being deputy treas urer, receiving and paying teller, accountant, book keeper, correspon ing clerk, and general factotum, for the State, on a salary too meagre to allow of the smallest paid assist ance. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Bartlett, for the manner in which the details of his duty have been and are carried out That there has been a marked Im provement in the management of the State finances under Treasurer Koenig is very apparent, and it ap pears to us to be in a great measure due to the close application, sterling integrity, and fidelity of bis deputy. After visiting the library and supreme court rooms we took leave of the Capitol, favorably Im pressed with all we had seen. Fire ordinance James (Stephenson) was here this week and thcBfadc says he came to pick out "the seat Dr. Miller has in reserve for him next winter. Eaton and Kennard have turned their swords into soup ladles, and propose eating from the same dish in the future. Postmaster Baird rejoices in an increase of salary and the Bee can rejoice in a new batch of subscribers larger than the combined circula tion or all the other Omaha dallies in this city. Don. Coiuniunicatea. SnsiasM in Oauha. "Business in Omaha has never been more stagnant than it is now. Bee. "Go ask our wholesale merchants in all branches of trade, Ac. fcc." Herald. The above extracts demand a Truthful and direct answer. The first is true in general, and as especially bearing upon the retail trade of Omaha, for as is well kno vn the time never has been when that branch of trade was so dull as at present In this place, and as long as the Herald continues to oppose all improvements that give employ ment to the poor laboring man so long will trade be dull. True to its instinct you always find the Hcraia man taking sides with the wealthy as against the poor, whether that is to be found in banks, wholesale merchants or railroad corporations. Go on, Mr. Bee, and ever state truthfully the condition of things as they exist, and so long as you are to be found on the side of the labor ing man and the industrious, so long will you be sustained by such. Perhaps you were correct when you stated in a late Issue that the erection of elevators would improve our town and give competition to the grain market, but you forgot that the Herald says no such enterprise will pay in Omaha. Of one fact you may be assured that so long as your farmers are compelled to sell their grain at Fremont and other points, so long will the retail trade of Omaha remain dull. Perhaps the Herald does not know that there are here, to-day, more than one hundred idle able-bodied men who would gladly work, pro vided the City Council would only do their duty and order the streets graded.

The Eailroad War The Crusaders A Prayerful Editor, etc. (Comspondcnce of the Bee ) LiNCOLN,Vuly 10, 1874. Editor Bee : , Lincoln has "been inl a bustle of excitement to-Sav. and up-,to this time, 10:30 o'clock, p. nv, it still continues. Lawyers, railroad, men, and crusaders, have been the prom inent actors. First, tLe railroad war. The A. & N and B. & M. roads have been at swords points ever since the former commenced running trams into LincolnJ They could not agree upon a union depot, and the A. & N. were compelled to build at some distance from ihe bus iness portion of ihe city. The B: & M. grounds are conveniently loca ted, their yard extending east as far as Seventh street, and south to "O" street, being but two blocks from the west side of market square. The A. &N. came out ahead on that question by the following piece, of sharp practice: One Saturday evening, We do not remember the date, they run a heavy construction train into Lincoln, no one knowing its destiny, with the exception of. a few leadiug officials. Sunday morn-. Ing told the story, for every availa ble man was put to work, and be fore Monday morning dawned the A. & N. track was laid up Seventh, street to the foot of P, coming very,' close to tne is. os ai. grounas, ana between them and the city; With" the legal day came every effort of the B. & M. to stop the work, and an injunction was at once issued, but speedily dissolved, and the A. & 2i. went on witn tne worK oi Dai lasting up their track and erecting a depot. Thus matters stood. The A. & N. depot completed their de pot, had an excellent location, and were supremely happy, counting their victory, as it really was, s. very cheap one. Everything run smooth ly for a while, and then they came together again fiercer than ever. The facts in the case are as follows : Mr. Johu Eaton owns a grain elevator on Seventh street, south of O, and asked the A. & N. company to run a side track down to his building. This they declined to do at that time, and he applied to Mr. Perkins of the B. & M. for the same favor. Mr. Perkins told him they would do it if the city would grant them right of way. After consider able fugleing around the Council voted to grant them right of way, provided, however, thatitinterfered with no other road. Upon this the B. & M. commenced constructing their track, keeping inside the fence around their own yard until they rcaohed O street, when they came through the fence, running their track so close to the A. fc N. side track that cars could not pass. The A & N run a few cars on their track with a heavy locomotive to hold them there. Down came the B. & M. train, but their light locomotive amounted to nothing, so they hitched on an other; still thi A. & N. engine was too heavy for them, and they hitch ed on a third. Then down they co"ine, three Ibco&dti've'witU full head of steam. The Atchison held its ground, and the cars oars came together with a learful crash, where they still remain, to be loosened at the command of the Judge. Both Companies bave braced their cars so that the other cannot throw them off the track, and in that condition they await settlement The crusaders surrounded the jail to-night, engaging In prayer and song, in token of sympathy for their brother, now confined there. The brother's name is Parker, no other iiian the complaining witness for the Lord, In the. saraa) coses pf Sa loon keepers, versusxbp Cty of Lin coln. It was enacted by the Clty Comioll, that, provided any com plaining witness failed to substanti ate the charges made, ho should be liable for costs. Parker failed to make his charges good, in the opins ions of several of the jurys, and the court held him responslUe "lor 'posts. When callpd upon' be' refused to pay them,' and after some parleying around, the court ordered the Mar shal to provide room foi him in the city jail. Soon he was suffering the agonies of a martyr, but not alone, for the otlier fernales enjoyed it with him, from the outside. After prayer meetin"g at ihe church, they all" marched to the iaij," SV. E. Sheldon, formerly editor of the Leader, led in prayer. He prayed for the council and city officers that God would forgive them, and enlighten them. This, Cooper, the Marshal, beard, but whether It will be heard by the one for whom it was intend ed, or not, deponent sayeth not. Then Parker prayed himself. His heavy voice coming through those iron bars, uttered in the conscious might of being a martyr, brought forth the old quotation from a by stander, "Hrrk, from the tombs a doleful sound." Many hymns, like "Rock of Ages," "Am I soldier of the cross," etc., were sung. The burden of Parker's prayer was to get out of that jail if consistent with the Divine will, and if He could, or felt disposed to do so, to forgive the men who placed him there. Mr. Sheldon made a nice little speech, urging the temperance people to persevere, and compli menting the prisoner on his manly bearing. During all this time the comet never wiggled its "tail, so of course everybody was happy. Grimes. CARPETS.

Seward, July 10. Editor Bee: The weather has been unusually warm for several days. The ther mometer has been from one hun dred to one hundred and five during the day in the shade for about one week. Vegetation was fast drying up ; corn and potatoes were dam aged severely, and wheat also, wnicn causea mucn unea-uuco with the farmers, but during the past two days we have had several good rains, with hail and some wind, but damage to crops by the rnrm. Tha crround is now thor oughly wet, and the streets are quite muddy. While writing it is thundering, and prospects of more rain. The farmers appear more cHeerful, and now have hopes of better crops. Harvest has commenced. Wheat will average about two-thirds of a crop. The County Commissioners have been in session all week, and say thev have been hard at work in the interest of the county, and have effected one million dollars profit for the county, by having it rain. A good enterprise, if they have been the cause of effecting it Farmers are in from every loca tion, buying reapers and preparing for the approaching harvest. Now the growing grain can be seen for miles around the busy town of Sew ard. More anon. Add. THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. IBm Wholeiale and Retail Dry Goods Home of W. M. BUSHMAN, ' 265 Douglas Street. There' is an attraction in square, honest dealing that is bound to bring unlimited patronage to the merchant who practices it. Mr. Bushman has made it a rule since the establishment of his house, "a little over a yearjago, to allow no misrepresentation of goods. Every article sold Is warranted to be as representated. It a clerk or sales man should make false resresenta tions in his zeal to effect a sale, it is always Mr. Bushman's rule to make the mosicomplete and satis factory restitutions People have not been slow to find out that in his establishment there need be no fear of Imposition, wheth er they are practically acquainted with the goods or not. Another reason for his remarka ble success may be found in the right observance of the "one price system." Dealers everywhere say that it is exceedingly difficult to maintain this rule. Where a large proportion of the business done is on credit that may be the case. But when as Mr. Bushman does, the business is con ducted on the "pay on JeJ'very principle,'' as well 'as'tbe "one price system" it is comparatively easy and by aU odds the best. With him tho cash of the poor Is as good as the cash of the rich, and the cash of the stranger equal, In Its purchasing power, to the cash of the acquaint ance. Nine-tenths of the terror of shop ping takes its flight in a store fairly conducted on the principle of one price and that the lowest. Strangers in tho pity cn ca"4 at B.usbnian's w'thout'tlV slightest fear of being cheated or overcharged. Husbands can come with their wives when they know there Is to be no badger ing or jewing about prices, aud that it is the endeavor of e.ve.ryhpryi from the hf ad, of t.fce establishment q the smallest cash-boy, to see that every patron receives prompt at tendance and the fullest worthfor any money they may leave behind. Every care Js taken by Mr. Buab. ra.an t see that no one, however young or inexperienced, Is over reached in any respect whatever.? One thing more we can say of Mr. Bushman, personally ; he Is one of the most prompt and reliable, men In paying his own bills, which is one of the surest indications of an honest, upright gentleman.
