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

Dr. Miller has in reserve for him

"Business in Omaha has never

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. Yours, A Laborer.

LINCOLN.
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.

SEWARD COUNTY.
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.

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.
