Bcchtcl , of Clinton , nnd Miss Jennie 0. Hared , of Maquokotn ; nlao to M. J. White , of Crawford , nnd &Iisa Alice M. Tabor , Walnut. Several prairie schooners went yeator- day clear to the edge of the river In search of a terry , and were much annoyed to find that there was but ono way to got ncross the water. There is need for the wagon brldgo talked of. Ifurry it up. Mrs. J. J. Bliss , [ of 323 Broydway , , has just recerned from New York with the choicest assortment of millinery and fancy goods to ba found in the city. She desires our lady readers to c.tll and Inspect her goods. A number of those interested In th Consolidated Mining company wore in the Ity yesterday , on business connected with that organization. Ainonj ; them were J. 11. Kustz , of Indiana ; A , C. Smith , Indlanala ; J. T. Walker , Grand Rapids , < Kansas and J. B. Gregg , of Hod Oak. Ernest Net J nnd Sohnnon Oshcrberger were before the superior court yesterday , charged with disturbing the peace. They had been Indulging In a little row , and bad done some mutual nose-tapping. Their casca were adjusted by each being fined $5 and costs. Those who have heardRov. Mr. Cops- land's sermons delivered here nnd who have become interested in his line of dis cussion , have secured him to deliver on address on "Ingersoll" In Dohaney'a'hall next Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m. , which all ara Invited to hear him. The first annual concert andball of Berry's Juvenile band will bo given at Bloom fie Nlxon'H hall next Monday ove- fc'i ' jiinfj , The ticket * are placed at ono dollar lar , and the enterprise and efficiency uhown by this young musical organization should cause the Bales to be lively and the attendance largo. The news comes from Avosa that the wife of Mayor Didrlch , of that place , died there Wednesday and was buried the norno day. She had nearly recovered from the small-pox when typhoid fever followed cauitoghcr death , the circumstances of which were peculiarly sad. As a matter of necessity the funeral tool ; place the taino day. Somd of the ladloi have taken special interest In the juvenile band , and purpose furnishing refreshments for the danso to bo given by the boys next Monday oven , ing. Those who feel disposed to join In this worthy encouragement of the boys' enterprise , are requested not to wait to bo called upon personally , but to send what refreshments they cheese to donate , to Bkom & Nixou'a hall , Monday evening. A woman at the transfer yesterday received in change , ID buying her ticket , a five-dollar gold piece , She took it for n new penny , and made quite a little utti about the outrageous charges made by the railways. It was seine time before ehc could be convinced that It was not c penny , and the declared that elio uovsi Lad seen n gold piece boforu. The fust she made wan proof sudiclcnl that BUCI ! was the case. One man , who was prttty well boozed \fot ncsday evening , was tossing hit money about quite carelotslyiin. aaalbon , and generously gav the tack and con < tent , about ( even dollars , to a straugoi standing near by. The stranger tried tc s get him to take it back , but ho would nul I have It , and the utrftnger took the mono ) f to the police station , where he left it foi safe keeping nnd when ( he owner after wards secured It when he went there lc complain of being robbed. Anna Henry , the woman of the lown : who stands accused of having beaten H ; unmercifully little Willie Simpson , lw not yet been arrented , uhe having , appar ently , nklpped tlie town. John Plcruoii who has been asunoiated with Anna , ha disappeared also , uud it is supposed tha the twain have departed together. It I to be said to Fienou'a credit that ho In terfered with the woman , and prevented Ler from whallnglthe child to death. Hav iug been tried once for perjury , once fo assault and robbery , and again for rat raney , he has evidently concluded tha this city is getting to warm for him , an accordingly ekipped , and Anna dlsappeai ed at the same time. Tae Log- Crop , Reports from the lumber countr ; indicate that in Jho upper Miasissipti the cue of logs has boon D0,000,00 more than last year.

( The roporta taken : together do not indicate dicato any shortage , such as vvouli justify an advance m the prioo of lum her. BEATING NATURE , A Now Process of Making Stont which Promises to Revolu tionize Building ; , ' Mr. W. W. Patterson nnd W. U lloxto , both of Gornine , the latter be ing the editor of Tno Gar.olto of tha place , were in the city yesterday , nm madohc.idqvinrtorsatthoPacifichouao They made TUB UKF a call , nnt showed BO mo samples of an artiflcia stone , on which they have secured loiters ters patent. They had still other am larger specimens at their rooms at the hotel , to which they invited the in spection of a number of those of our citizens who would bo interested in such an invention. These blocks and pieces wore subjected to very severe tests and to close examination under the glass , by different callers , and there certainly appeared every reason for believing that these gentlemen have hit upon a wonderful process for securing the best possible building material at a cost placing it far below atone itself , and at the stun a time pos- ss ng many advantages over atone. So many kinds of cheap substi tutes for stone have boon introduced , nnd BO many of thcsu have had defects , that there is naturally dome prejudice \nd doubt , but this artificial stone ms ovideutly boon made on the only : rue basis. Instead of following the usual courzo of trying to firmly cement land into blocks , these gentlemen mvo hit upon a process for crystalli zing all particles into ono solid mats , n any form desired. This crystalli zation is so perfect that in polishing every particlu is ground down without , ho least breaking away , and each > article being as firmly in plcco as in tatural stone. It is impervious to moisture , is not affected by heat or cold , and in fact stands tests which natural atone weakens or changes under. Its hardness is such that a ; rindntono from it will cut away iron , tool or stone , and not bo worn itself o any extent. The reason why this ntoiio thus lands the tests is that the cryttalliza' ion is perfect. A peace heated as nuch as possible , and then plunged nto ice water , did not scorn in the east affected , though this test was re- icatod four times. In view of the lurability , and many other remarka- ilo qualities , the cheapness is a great onsidoration. it is made of sand , and is crystallized by the use of roasted limestone , affected by chemi cals , and the process of manufacture a KO simple that it can bo carried on anywhere , saving transportation nnd other expenses and inconveniences. There are many features to this tone which really seem to ouldo na- uro herself , and although the patent tapers were not secured until lost February , capital is Booking to got lold of it and push it , instead of its coking capital. Responsible parties n Now | York Oity are organizing a : ompany to control its use there , and n various parts of the west- persons are scouring permission to use it for a orm of years , the patentees refusing o.Boll out rights. If it proves all that it now gives the dssuranoo of proving , this stone will make a big change in building , as a durable , tiro-proof , handsome build ing can bo made of it at little more cost than of wood , and much less than of nature's stone. Per paving it can bo so used that a whole street can bo made as of solid rock without a breaker or a seam. In fact , its possibilities com BO great that tn eulogize upon hem would only servo to so stagger a man as to make him doubt whether such a thing could bn true. Yet the ; ontlomcn named stand ready to sub- nit the artificial atone to tests under ho hammer nnd chisel , by f fire and co. by acid , in tact by everything , and defy any weakness to bo found. PERSONAL. Charlie Nicholson ban a young friend at U homo , the now coiner starting In life as a twelve pounder. Mr. nd MM. Charles A. Stallne , of Qulnoy , 111. , were yesterday guceta of tin Ogden house. Hon.S-T. 0. Cowin , the well known attorney - torney of Omaha , yesterday paid the city a visit. W. 1Sttpp , jr. , has returned from Col- ax , where ho hai been recreating and drlnklpg mineral water. Auditor Burke has so far recovered [ r m hU Illness that It is thought ho will bo in hla oillce to-day. Mr. Warren , the deputy clerk of the court , started last evening for Princeton and other points In lllinoU , to make a brief visit to friend * . It Is stated by telrgiaph from Chlcngo that A.

MAKING A RAISE. $ Probability that the Haloon Licenses Will Bo Put Up a row Notches. At the moot ing of the city counci Wednesday night the city uttornoj and judiciary committee were in atructed to frame a now ordinance ii regard to liquor licenses.Vhilo \ ne definite instructions are given yet , i is understood that the restrlc tions are to bo much more close thai heretofore , and that the license is t < bo raised considerably , and i is underslood that it wi ! be placed at § GOO. Then will bo a general how among those interested , but it wil have the effect of weeding out main of the doggerels and will cause th saloons to bo fewer in number ant raoro orderly in management. Peti tions have been circulated for one against raising the licenses , and then will be much said pro and con , a plenty of lime will bo given for tall and action. The ordinance will no bo reported until the first moot ng ii May , and will then , by an understam ing had among the aldermen , lay eve for thirty days , A MODEL IOWA TOWN. Greenfield Growing Gradually to Greatness. Mnanfnotnrlntr nnd Btuincs * In toroDt * Educational and Other Items- Correspondence of The te. GnKENMELT ) , la. , April 4. Twenty three miles from Orcston , in a northerly orly direction , is the growing younj city of Greenfield , the county scat ol Adair county. It has been but a fen years since thia northern branch ol the 0. , B. & Q. was built from Ores. ton to Fontanollo , the old county seat , but during these few years the growth of the town has boon like many othei such cities in Ihis "Groat West , " "steady and strong. " THK LOCATION s on the divide between the waters ol Grand river on the east and the Nod a. way on the west , and on the grand divide between the MUsissippi and the Missouri ; in fact it seems like a pecu- iar center , with high ribs of land ox- sting out in all directions , so thai railroads could roach it from any point of compass with a natural grade , and almost no cuts , fillings or bridges , and the road now operating hero is an ex ample of this , for it seems to almost allow n natural grade from the main iuo , although in eomo places the grade s a little sharp , and often the road seems to bo on a sharp ridge. It is oxpectcd also that the proposed oxton- ion of the railroad to this place from Wintoraot , thirty miles caat of this , will follow on another divide with only ono bridge. THE TOWN was laid out in 1850 by .Milton 0. rlungor , the original proprietor of Momnouth , 111. , and for years it was i noted and convenient station for the nail. stage , for the traveler , and the migrant. In 1874 , it became the ounty seat , and throe years later when the locomotive came screaming long the border of the village , it in- used now life , increased the various ndustrial enterprises , and established n the minds of the people that a city , of at least local importance , is fast rowing , hero on the highlands , 900 eot above the Father ot Waters , and. ,400 feet above the sea. The sur- ounding country Is fertile , well sot- led , and healthy ; and good water is ound in abundance at a depth of 1C o 25 foot , while a largo majority of ho farming element are supposed to 'join in" with the prohibition opin- ons of this Ohio community against ho license system , and it is expected > y the friends of the "amendment" all ror this section , that a good vote will ay , "Them's my Bontimonto too , " or both tickets in the last city elec- .ion were distinctly labeled tompor- nco. THE SOCIETIES ire six churches , with two good louses , and two more in course of con traction , the Methodists being the first on the ground. Several tornpor- nco organizations , holding regular meetings , with good attendance , and ovoral secret orders and a brass band. THK EDUCATIONAL ntcrcsta lire not neglected , for the graded sshool with. its six or eight do- mrtmonts is ably managed and well up to the times , as might bo expected , while the people are aa a class , readers and are ably led by an intelligent clor- jy , and an independent press. TUB of the county , three in number , are all ropoblican , The Observer , of Fon- onollo , haying as yet , the largest cir culation. The Transcript , edited and publish- > d by E. Spoonor , is an able and fear- ess sheet , and has the largest ciroula- ion in the city. Mr. Spooner is an Dbcrliu man who has spent many years in the practice of medicine , and o-day takes a clear diagnosis of the moral and political situation before the American people. The Go\v Bros , are pushing The lleportor , the oldest paper in the county , that it shall keep up in march of progress , enterprise , and liberal deus , and these two papers do much to sway the opinions nnd control the votes , of the 1,200 , inhabitants of this city. THE TWO BANKS are doing a good business , in neat and pleasant quarters , and are supplied with the best of conveniences for aafo deposit. Mr. A. P. Litlloton , the cashier of the Citizens' bank , is the first sub- loribor to TUB BEE in the city , ho liaving become acquainted with the paper while visiting his friends in Ohio , who were also regular readers of THK BEK. Mr. Littleton is ono of the early Bottlers in this city , is the managing head of the bank , tin insti tution which is a credit to any city , and has been the first and only mayor of the city , until this spring , when he lays oil' the dignity of "Your honor" to attend to the largo and incroasinu duties of the bank. Till ! of the place may bo estimated by th ( number of its business houses mostlj clustered around the public Equare There are two each of banks , news papers , churches , shoo stores , driu stores , furniture houses , harness shops millinery stores , and lumber yardai There are twelve lawyers , live phyal ciuns , a half dozen hotel and boarding houses , five stores of general mer chandUo and three of groceries , three of hardware , one steam elevator , jewelry olry store , photographer , dentist , livery ory , etc. Wo particularly noliced Iho largt number of now buildings Ihis season Wo learned that the old Kirkwooc House is about to become extinct , a parties from the coat have bought i intending to romoyo it and build i good hotel in its place , possibly ro tainiug the old and familiar name ; ant all these additions , with Ihe varioui shops , mill , creamery , wire fence fac tory , and other producing enterprises in addition to the business whicl naturally is found at the county eea keep up an activity and indicate tin thrift and enterprise of the citizens and th growth and prosperity of tin City.
