about his trip to Oakland Fr-

He Baid that the whole route WHS.

that wheat WHS being harvested and |

would ripen a long time before - ny
fr.ict could touch it. On that portion
of the ron to near Oakhnd , which is
62 miles from Omaha , he saw large
herds of ca-tlo in every valley m tine
condition. -karoah is growing fast
and i * a beautiful toirn , but that Oak
land , for beauty of location and apbar-
unt enterprise and thriftj equalled any
town that ho bad ever seen in Nebras
ka less thin a ye r old.
It Is located on an inclined

valley of the L3gnn. The scenery as
far as the eye could reach along -that
creek , with its farm houses and fields
of grain , being the loveliest' imagin

Chief Engineer Lacy and lereral
members of the Council Bluffs de

Lue to participate in the Ceremonies.
The invitation to their depa-tment
unfortunately did not reach them un
til 11 o'clock to day , or a goodly num
ber would have come over.
It is seldom that such a crowd is
seen in our city as that which yeater-
d ty lined thu sidewalks and clustered
beneath shads and rhade trees along
the line of march ot nuigod through
the depot like a htiuian sea. It
nhowod the appreciation in which our
citizens hold the firemen.
As the result of Mr. Lowrey'a
thoughtfuluess and thrift he had
placed note * and warnmU to the
amount of $1200 for keeping with
Captain Marsh , and some $200 in the

The property will doubtleis go to his
mother and sister.
Those who know Walter Lowry
beat bear witness to the excellence of
his character. Ho WM very fond of
children , who naturally took to him ,
aud he would , when nt leisure , ait and
amuse them by the hour. Joe Hen-

of Charles S Goodrich was another.

AN ATTACHMENT.
A Chicago Firm Closes an Oma
ha Jewelt-r's doora.
C - > n lderable of a sensation was
camtd Sa urdaby the ann uncement
th-it the jewelry firm of Wbuple &
McMillan had been closed up , and
our reporter , in order to get the trap
ttfio of affairs , called upon Mr. W.
E McMillan , who , in the .bsence of
M . Whi | pie , had chat ge of the estab-
lid-iment.
F oin him we learned that the house
of Giles & Bros. , wholesale a-d retail
jewellers , of Chicago , had procured
an order of Httaohment , thr-ugh H.
D. E'ab'Ooktheir attorney , and
that at 9 "o'clock Friday the aher-
iiT ook posseiiion of the stock by
virtue of the * rit. The affidavit was
filed with the clerk of the district
court , and alleges , we understand ,
an intention on the part of the firm to
dispose of their prooerty and defraud
their creditors. The fact is said to be
that the debt is only $750 , and is
a balauce on account with the firm.
This amount Mr. Whipple had gone
to Chicago to settle , and the action
of the creditors was a surprise to Mr.
McMillan. While the latter is in
cluded by name in the writ , he
states positively that he was not a
member of the firm , and that while a
partnership had been agreed upon for
a future time , it was not to be con
summated until the liabilities of the
firm of Whipple & Co. were settled.
It'is claimed that the indebtedness of
the old house does not exceed $1,100
in addition to the balance due Giles ,
and tht the stock will invoice from
$3,500 to $4,000. Also , that thorn ia
due the firm in town 81,200 to $1,800 ,
on good parties.
Mr. McMillan objects to being
treated in this manner decidedly , on
the ground that he is only holding a
salaried position , and does not wish
to be closed up before he opens out in
business. He expects Mr. Whipple
home soon , when he thinks things will
be satisfactorily settled.
Y. M. O. A. Library.
The object of the Young Men's
Christian Association , if wo rightly
understand it , .ia the spritn.il , merltal
and social improvement of young
men , and to advance add accomplish
this various means are used , and the
one to which pur attention is now par
ticularly drawn is the proposed estab
lishtnent of a library one that the
association and its friends may feel
proud of.
Not long since Col. WationB. Smith
donated to the association a very ex-
.celleut book case , which will hold
about one thounand volumes , and at
onca the contribution of books com
menced to the library , and above'what
have already been received , many
have been promised. Prof. Anderson ,
in the land departmant of tha
B. & M. railroad , gave the asiocia-
tt in the loan of 100 volues as a
inference library , one thit will be
found mjst useful in the study of sa
cred history , and to him they are
g-ea.ly indebted.
The library will be for the free uae
of members of the atsomation , and
those ho are desirous of investigat
ing or ranking any researches , and
y -uugmen who come to the city stran
gers , can find it a pleasant and profit
able place to call.

Michael Davitt , the famous Irish na
tionalist. Mr. Davitt hai resolved
upon mbking an organization tour in
the western states , including Califor
nia' before returning to Ireland and
has signified his intention to stop over
In Omaha en route , if he can be of any
service to the cause which he repre
sents. It * as decided by the commit
tee to write him that he would be wel
come here and that a reception would
be given in his honor during his visit
to this city.
Mr. Davitt came over with Parnell
and Dillon and Is working in
the interests of the Land Leaguerot
which ho fs one of the originators
and of which Pnrnell is the present
head. The Land League movement ,
to use Mr. Davitt's own words , is but
a tempo-ary one , which has been
called into existence to save Ireland ,
during an alarming crisis , from the
horrors of ' 47 and ' 48 , and to put an
end to periodic famine and perpetual
poverty by securing the ownership and
unrestr > cted cultivation of the soil for
the people. It was not intended and
does not purpose to be placed in opi.o- .
ition to those movements which aim
at achieving either national independ
ence on the one hand and what is
known as Home Rule on the other , its
object being the advancement of the
interests of the people at home and
the lifting of the fatherland from the
mire of social serfdom.
An appeal is mdo to non-political
societies and to all who sympathize
with the movement to support the
work and show that it is a truth and
not a boatt that neither distance nor
time can change the devotion of the
I.ish heart to the land of its birth.
On the'lOth of May last the
National Land and Industrial League
of America was founded. Owing to
various causes , chiefly the short upsce
of timu which has elapsed since it *
foundation , the work actually accom-
plifhed has been small and it is for
the organization of this branch of the
League that Mr. Davitt's trip trett Is
made. It's work will bo the collection
of the fund for the did of the Land
League in i's ' work of protecting lives ,
dutending prisoners arrested for re-
aittanca te procea * serving , sustain
their families , clothe and educate their
children , teed their land , etc.
Mr. Uavtt will no doubt be en
thusiastically received in Omaha
where the strong sympathy with the
cause has already been expressed in a
practical way.

A Bellevue Man Shuffle * ofF
His Mortal Coil.
Being Weary of the World's
Tribulations ,
Jt seems that the mania for suicide
is not confined to Omaha alone but
hasseztended to the suburbs and will
doubtless ran its course throughout
the state like any other epedemic.
The latest case of voluntary death
is that reported from Bellevue ,
From what we can gather of the
facts it appears that -German who
had contracted a thirst for ardent
spirits and grew discouraged , on
Thursday night took a doia of poison
and died from it's effect It is said by
some that domestic difficulty was at
the bottom of the rash deed , but what
ever nny have been the cauie it ap
pears that the act waa committed
when under the influence of liquor.
The man leaves a wife and six chil
dren. Some of the friends came up
to Omaha Friday and purchased a
coffin of undertaker Riewe , which they
took home with them , and the funeral
probably took place Friday. We
could not learn the name of the un
fortunate man.
