Westward Ho Ha Gone.
Tlio great nnd only Dingle , wha
may bo justly termed the Chesterfield
of tramp printers , reached Omaha
about n week ago for the tenth tinio
in a score of years. Mr. Dingle is on
Jiis regular transcontinental tour and
is making his way toward California ,
in the south of which state ho usually
spends his winters. Mr. Dingle lias
pressed palms with the best ink-
slingers from Maine to Mexico , and
, /roin the surging Atlantic to the snow
capped Rockies , and ho now looks out
from the "Gato City" towards the
golden west and longs for
moro worlds to navigate.
Dingle has justly been quoted a suc
cess as a traveler. The eccentric way
which mudorn railroad managers have
of rigidly collecting fares interferes
somewhat with Dinglo's rapid transit
through the country , but his vast ox-
paricnce has taught him how to got a
"lift" where most mon would bo com
pelled to walk. Ho Hngornd long
enough about TUB BKK ofllco to earn
money to supply him with liquid re
freshments und then started on his
journey. Ilia face is now turned to
ward the setting Bun.

The barge line convention began its

Council Hinds yesterday morning at

cumsUnccs. The nttendanco of dele-

overal communities from
wliich they como as would indicate
hat the movement is being taken in

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
The mooting was organized for bus
iness by the Bolection of Col. R. T.
Vanhorn , o f Kansas City , as perma
nent cliamnan , Thos. Gibson ,
of this city , as aocrotary ,
and E. H. Odell as assistant secreta
ry. Senator Sounders then arose and
delivered a stirring address upon the
improvement of the Missouri , showing
why the vast territory drained by it
should receive some consideration at
the hands of the general government.
Thu address bristled with facia and fig
ures and was received with much up-
plauso.
Gov. Gear , of Iowa , then followed
in a thoughtfully prepared address
upon the same subject , in which ho
indicated the stand positively taken by
tin people of the state. Ho referred
in Mowing terms to the state of which
ho is the executive und demonstrated
what nn advantage the .improvement
of the Big Muddy would bo , not only
to the people of Iowa , but the whole
northwest ,
The committee then reported the
following resolution * ) , which will be
diucussed nnd probably adopted to
day :
KKSOLUTIONH.
WHKUKAH , The great valley trav
ersed by the Mississippi nnd Missouri
rivers , and their tributaries , form one
great interest as distinctly as do the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts , or the
basin of the great lakes , mm in such
aid ns may bo given to its commerce
byjho national government should be
treated ns such , and upon its own
magnitude and merits , without coin-
rromiso or sacrifice with any other ;
and
WHEKKAS , the country spec
ially represented hero , the Missouri -
souri valley , including two-thirds of
Missouri , ono-third of Iowa nnd all
of Dakota , , Nebraska and Kansas ,
and a part of Montana , embraces an
area of $250,000 square miles , con
tains a population of four millions ol
people , and a taxable wealth of more
than 8700,000,000 , produces annually
500,000,000 bushels of grain , and ii
increasing at a rule in productiveness
and wealth o f not less than five pei
cent , per annum ; and
WHEREAS , Water tranportation is
the cheapest known to the traffic of
of the vast area of country by the
Missouri river , which is naturally ono
the most cosily navigable rivers in the
world for nine months in
the year , and was bcforo the
creation of artificial obstruction a great
highway of commerce , nnd which _ by
the removal of artificial obstruction
and accidental obstruction can bo
mndo available for economical craft ,
adequate to the wants of the country
whereby the cost of transportation
will bo reduced fully one-half and
landed property enhanced in value
fully fifty percent ; and ,
WHEREAS , The banks of the river
arc composed of such alluvial soil in
adequate to withstand the force of its
current , whereby thousands of acres
of valuable lands arc annually swept
away ; and ,
yHKKKAS , It has always been the
policy of the general government to
appropriate money for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors nnd prevent -
vent the property of citizens from
destruction by the overflow and incursive -
cursive action of great streamshaving
thus expended moro than $20,000,000 ,
of which but 8075,000 in all from the
beginning until now have been expended -
ponded on Missouri river nnd D.x-
kota ; therefore
UKSOLVJI : , That this convention
representing Missouri , Iowa , Kansas ,
and Nebraska most respectfully but
most earnestly demand that congress
bestow upon the Missouri river a con-
nideration commensurable with the
magnitude of the interests to bo served
by its improvement and immediately
provide for all artificial obstructions
it lias permitted to bo created by rail
way bridges for the thorough removal
of all accidental obstructions such ns
snags nnd drifts of floating timber ,
and as a thorough survey of the
river by competent engineers with
a view to determining the speediest
nnd most economical plan of deepen
ing its channel and protecting the pro
perty of the citizens along its banks.
Resolved , That wo also demand
that when such surveys shall have
boon approved , that congress shall
make such appropriations and take
such other action as will secure the
speediest permanent and adequate
improvement of said river , not merely
for the removal of obstructions
to its navigation , but toprovido at all
seasons a deep and pormanontchannol
so confined and controlled as to afford
an outlet for its floods , and to assure
the safety of the lands along its course.
Itesolvod , That in view of the mag
nitude of the interests to bo subserved
by such improvements , the additions
thereby to result to the profit of in
dustry , and the value of landed
property in the Missouri valley ,
it is the judgment of this convention
that devotion to such improvements is
the duty of senators and representa
tives in congress nnd members of state
legislatures nnd wo recommend to the
convention and hence any assembla
ges of the people to make this subject
ono of the prime objects in legislation
and to agitate for its adoption and ac
complishment.
Ilcsolvcd : That wo , the cstizcns of
the above named states ,
now in convention assembled
on the 21st day of Juno , 1881 ,
demand of the congress of the United
States to pass such laws and appro
priations ns shall effect the safe and
speedy navigation of the Missouri river
or to St. Louis.
RESOLVED , That it is the opinion oi
this convention that the appropriation
by congress of five million dollars for
the purpose heroin mentioned would
bo of vast national benefit and the
money most judiciously and profitably
invested.
Senator McDill , of Iowa , followed ,
taking coro-comic views of the situa
tion andfcrcatcd much applause and
laughter.
Mr. Busline ! ! , of Plattsmouth , desired -
sired that that city bo allowed proper
representation in the organization ,
and the convention agreed to do so.
Mr. King , in reply to the strictures
of Mr. Sherman that it was a poor idea
having delegates from so many diverse
quarters , said on the contrary it was a
good idea , and made a brief speech on
the topic.
Hon. John Hogan said ho would
like to hoar from Ex-Mayor Chase , of
this city.
Mr. Chose was finally introduced
and delivered an address in his usual
stylo.Hon.
Hon. John Hogan then delivered n
very sensible speech on the desirabili
ty of the improvement and quoted
facts and figures to substantiate hie
assertions. The address was well re
ceived.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Hog.m'e
remarks , a debate arose as to whether
an adjournment should bo had It
was finally decided to adjourn until
ton o'clock this morning.
Owing to lack of sufficient space ,
Tin : BEX finds it impossible to print
any of the addresses in full this morn
ing , but will do BO in its next issue.

THE SIDE WALK CLUB ,
They Hold a Mooting to Discuss
the S'tuation. '
In Omaha live quite a number of
mon who deem themselves the incar
nation of wisdom nnd political fore
sight nnd sagacity. To flee some of
these persons talking in groups of
thrco or four upon n street corner of
an evening , discussing the loa'dmg
topics of the day , und moro especially
these of n political typo , is indeed
awo-inspiring to a stranger or ono un-
acouainted with them. They seem to
have no particular preferences , but
impartially criticise , tear up , go over
and lay out all the big guns of the
day , with a freedom and nonchalance
qnito refreshing. The other evening
n delegate of TUB BEE happened to
run across a sidewalk mooting of these
self-constituted statcsmon , nnd their
conversation was so entertaining that
ho dooms it but right that the public
should bo acquainted with it. They
were talking of the resignations of
Conklinu nml Plattn and were
so interested that they did
not notice tho' now comer
on the scono. For several reasons
these taking part in the conversation
will bo designated as Messrs. Hobbs ,
Dobbs and Bobba. When the scribe
came up Mr. Dobbs had the floor and
waa laying it down in this way : "I
can't sec , " said ho , "what under the
sun made Tommy Platte give up his
scat when ho had such n hard time to
gut there ; and then a berth like a U.
S. sonatorship is n mighty soft snap ,
nnd adds a great deal of tone to n man
besides. "
"It beat mo , " saidMr. Hobbs. "I
couldn't tumble to it at all. It was
all well enough for Colliding to flare
up and write a high-toned letter to
Cornell about what ho considered a
senator ought to do , and how ho had
boon run over and sat down on by
Oarfiold , and wind up the letter by
resigning because ho thought ho held
a chattel mortgage on moat of
the republican members , and
could get back any time that
ho wanted in spite of Garfield ,
and talk to the people about his
vindication , and all that , at the hands
of his friends ; but this wasn't the case
with Tonimio. " "Tommio , you sco ,
is kind of a light weight in Now York
nnd never held any mortgage on the
boys in the legislature , and that's
why I can't understand him. What
did ho want the place for if it was
only to civo it up and try and make
the people believe ho was a martyr ? "
"No gentlemen , it couldn't have been
that for ho must have kno * ni the ago
of martyrs has long since past and
that it wouldn't work. " "Tako it
altogether , I think Tommio made a
'bad break. ' " "Woll , " remarked
Mr. Bobbs , "history don't show that
any senator over resigned before ,
and I'll bet that Conkling and Tommio
Platte are both sorry by this time that
they quit the senatorial biz. " "I
know ono thing d d sure , and that is
that no senator from Nebraska ever
resigned or is likely to. " "I'm dry ,
lot's beer up. "
As the reporter did not happen to
belong to the red nose variety lie
turned the other corner.
SCOOPING OUT TRENCHES.
Some of the Water Company's
Work Destroyed by the
Elements.
Gangs of men employed by the
water works company , were busy yes
terday repairing the damage done
by the heavy rains of last night.
In two particular localities , the
streets were badly ploughed up. On
Thirteenth street , from about midway
between Dodge street and Capitol
Avenue to the northern end oi
the Croighton House , the re
cently filled excavations were laid
open , Just north of Dodge street' the
torrent of water that had flowed in
the gutter forced a now channel for
itself into thotronchandinthismannoi
found it way to the depression just
north of the Creighton where it again
flowed into the regular channel. In
this manner most of the earth used in
filling the trench was swept away ,
leaving a thin upper crust. As this
looked like solid earth it was very
dangerous to tratlio , although few
accidents have probably occured from
this causo.
By far the greatest damage was done
the works on Tenth street. For a
hundred foot north of Pacific the pipes
were actually laid bare in the trenches.
Farther down for a couple of blocks
the earth was scooped from under a
thin crust , leaving this as the only
support for vehicles. Gangs of men
were at work early placing the streets
in ahapo and by this evening nil
chances for nccidonts happening from
this cause will probably bo averted.

WHAT WE READ ,
A Few Intoroating Facts From
the Public Library.
Higher Standard Being Beached
in the Class of Books Sought.
A skirmisher for TUB BKB had a
very entertaining conversation last
evening with Miss MaryB. Allan , the
public school librarian , on the subject
of what the people of Omaha road us
indicated by the calls nt that institu
tion.
tion.Tho
The library contains at present
about G,500 books. These have boon
selected with considerable care and
embrace most of the ordinary books in
the popular branches of knowledge.
Until recently there used to bo a
great demand for Miss E. D. E. N.
Southworth , Mrs. Holmes and the
whole list of other so'-callod "popular"
writers who are generally credited
with producing a now book every
twenty-four hours. The mental
pabulum required by the average at
tendant scorns to have been elevated
in its standard. It must bo acknowl
edged that much ot thin is duo to the
fact that novels of that class are being
rapidly weeded out and few of them
can now bo found upon the library
shelves.
Of course the principal demand
in the way f reading matter is for
novels and many people , devote them
selves to that class of reading exclu
sively. It must bo said to the credit
of the patrons of the library , however
that their requests are principally for
standard writers. As is generally the
case in libraries throughout the coun
try , Dickons' works are in greatest de
mand. David Coppcrfield and the
Pick wick Papers are most sought after
Next in demand to the works of Dick
ens como these of n French
man , the older Dumas. Nearly every
body inquires for Dumas' masterpiece
the Count of Monte Cristo , and , hav
ing read that , they want The Three
Guardsmen and the remainder of the
list. Following Dumas , the principal
demand is for Victor Hugo's works ;
moro especially Los Misonibles. Ono
other French writer has lately como
into general demand , Count Emilo
Gnboriau. The Slaves of Paris and
Messieur Lccocq seem to bo his
most popular productions in Omaha.
There ig sufficient dash and vim
about all off , this brilliant
writer's detective stories to attract the
people of the west. The able-bodied
prevaricator , Jules Yerno , who was so
popular a few years ago , ia little sought
after now. It in a notable fact also ,
that there ia scarcely uny demand for
Zola or , indeed , nny writer of the
modern ultra-realistic French school.
The Wavorly novels are usually con
sidered didactic and their introductions
prosy nowadays , but thcro is always a
heavy demand for them at the Omaha
library. Ouida's gaudy , tropical style
has many admirers hero. Anthony
Trollopo and George MacDonald have
quito a circle of admirers , while
Thackeray and Bulwer have a steady
class of readers.
American writers in this branch of
literature do not seem to bo very much
sought after. Such a breezy produc
tion as Theodore Winthrop's John
Brent , seems scarcely known. Haw-
thorno's weird style and beautiful de
scriptive seem little appreciated.
Cooper is rather popular and so is
Bret Harto.
The heaviest call for books in thu
library in ono day footed up 3DO , out
of which number 282 were for novels.
This will indicate the comparative extent -
tent to which books of that character
are road.
The people of Omaha seem too mat
ter-of-fact to dabble much in poetry.
Longfellow is some times sought after
but very few others are mentioned.
Works of travels are moro generally
road than anything in the libiary ex
cept fiction , Livingstone's angular
Scotch style secures the most admir
ers. Stanley is considerably sought
after and strange to say Bayard Tay
lor is very popular. Soward's elegant
work is very generally read.
There is not a very extensive de
mand for any histories ' except these
bearing upon thu U'nited States. While
on the subject people generally want
to grasp all the details
and so usually inquire
for Bancroft. Prescott's brilliant
style attracts n largo circle of read
ers. Just now there is a wonderful
demand for scientific works , especially
these upon engineering. People gen
erally seem to bo reading up on that
branch because of agitation on the
improvement of the Missouri and the
consequent establishment of a barge
lino.
Magazines are literally devoured
and remain but little time on file un
til they are worn out through general
usage.
Biographies of course attract con
siderable attention , Strickland's
Queens of England is ono of the inont
popular works while Morloy'w English
Men of Letters ranks next.
Thoru is always a great demand for
religious works on Saturdays for Sun
day reading , It is noticeable that
works of an athointical or oven
deisticiil tendency are not in request.
Beochor is read quito extensively and
Tom Paino's Ago of Reason is more
or less sought after. Didorot ,
Voltaire , Augusto Comtoandlatermon
of similar ideas such as Herbert
Spencer are seldom called for.
Ruskin's works on art are always in
great demand.
In thu language of the day , humor
ous works may bo quoted as "away up"
Mark Twain of course heads the list.
Nearly o 'pry youngster in the city
seems to visit the library to gloat ever
some ot the Oliver Optic's , Alger's or
Aldrich's productions for the juveniles.
This class of readers is not only num
erous but Tegular allendanta.
As indicated in the foregoing the
tendency is toward the best class of
literature contained in the library.
No Action Yet.
The grand jury as yet have taken
no action whatever upon the question
of the violation of the liquor laws.
However , it is learned that they w ill
qivo the matter special consideration
at once.
