Juddtho general traveling ngont of the Union Pacific , says that the state ment made by The Valentino Reporter , and reproduced in Tun Ben , concerning the treatment of certain colonists who lately wont through from Missouri , is grossly in error. As ho has much to do with the moving of such colonies , ho fools that the charges made rollect on him personally , and therefore fools justi fied in refuting them , This colony was not in his charge , or the charge of his road , but waa carried over a portion of the road for the Sioux City road which had agreed to furnish the transportation , but could not on account of the carrying away of its bridqo. As to the ill treat ment of the colonists , by U. P. officials , Mr. Judd says nothing of the kind occurred. Ho also calls attention to sev eral misrepresentations about the route by which ho proposed to send the tour- iats there " " ' 'toll , being no "gumbo , bridges , " "dreary stretches of sand/'etc. Mr. Judd credits the complaint made to The Reporter to the fact that there was some ill feeling among different parties , each trying to got the colonists , and Mr. Judd's success making others feel a little soro.

At the depot Saturday forenoon was a poor lady who was on her way from West Union , Iowa , to relatives in the western part of this state. In some way the woman - man had lost her purse which contained all her money and her railroad ticket. To add to her misfortune , while at the depot in this city , her little child waa taken with spasms. While the door , unfortu nate woman was almost broken hearted over her loss and her child's illness , she was approached by Mrs. E. J. Jones , of St. Paul , Minn. , and Miss Mattie Halo , of Atchiflon , Kansas , who volunteered to befriend her , which they did. They wont among the gentlemen and ladies around the depot and suc ceeded in raising a nice little sum which was placed in the hands of the sorrowing mother. Who can ever know the thank fulness which filled her poor heart as she said with a voice full of emotion , "God bless you. " The philanthopic ladies who thus be- friendcd the unfortunate ono took their departure for the west upon the noon train and will probably never see her again , but in that last great day they will hear those joyful words , "Inasmuch as ye have dona it unto ono of the least of these , yo have donu it unto mo.

Saturday there arrived at the depot a green Swede woman. She bought a ticket for Mead , paying therefore two silver dollars. She still had loft ono ton- dollar bill and ono twenty dollar bill. She went to the store of Fred. Peterson on Tenth street and bought two silk liandkorchiefs for the sum of ono dollar. She says that she handed him a twenty dollar bill and that ho handed her four dollars in change. She refused to accept it and demanded fifteen dollars more. Thereupon Petersen took back the hand kerchiefs and gave her a five dollar bill , at the same tinio insisting that that was all the money she gave him. The woman wont to the depot -whore BIO told her story to an officer who returned with her to the store , but it was useless , as Peter- eon declared that she had only given him five dollars. The woman sat in the depot all forenoon crying as if her heart would break , and all the while insisted that Peterson had lobbeu her of fifteen del lars. TheBO Are Solid Facts.

Air. Kubovcc'8 Place of Business Nearly Consumed by Plro Last Night. At 11:30 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was turned in from box S. The fire proved to be in the brick building almost opposite Caspor'n boor hall , at the corner of Williams and Thirteenth streets. This structure was built only last summer and was used by its owner , Frank Kubovec , as a dwelling and also as a bakery , known throughout 'tho city as Prag's bakery. [ low the fire originated is not really known. Mr. Kubovec and his family left their homo at 8 o , clock in the evening - ing to attend a ball in Casper's hall and wore there when the alarm was given. The owner thinks it must have originated from SOIBO of the evens in the basement story , used as a bakoshop. Great difficulty was experienced by the department in reaching the fiio , from the almost impassable condition of the road * . No. 1 went no farther than Thirteenth and Harnoy , and No. 3 stopped near thu railroad. No. 2 and the hook and ladder truck wore the only carts that reached the burning building The boys of No. 1 and S , however , left their carts and assisted the members of No. 2 at the tire. The ineido of the building and its contents are almost a total loss , which is fully covered by insur ance , the building and its contents being inured in the Phamix of Hartford for $2,700. A Maakcd About ono o'clock Sunday morning a burglar broke into the house of Mrs , Savage , on Sixteenth street , near the nailvrorks , and stole a pair of pantaloons containing forty cents and a pocket-knife.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD , The Liiiiier & Mclcalf { Company's ' Agricnllnral Implement and Machinery Warelionse , BUty-lUo TliouHQiul 9 < | imrc Feet , of Floor , Siookoil With Implement * , Machinery , AVnjjonH , Cnr- anil A representative of TJIB Bnnon Satur- daymado n tour of the agricultural imple ment warehouse of the Liningor & Mot- calf company , and was surprised to find it a much inoro extensive establishment than ho had over supposed. The main building is a substantial brick structure , in the shape of nn L , four stories and basement , . The number ef square foot for storage is 05,000 , making it the larg cst agricultural implement warehouse in the world by about 10,000 feet. Three largo elevators carry the goods from lloor to lloor , and just now they are kept moving all the time in receiving and shipping goods. The warehouse is admirably located for the transaction of business , it being close to the Union Pacific and B. it M , rail road tracks , and having a switch running to its shipping platforms. Every lloor of the warehouse is stocked with agricul tural implements , wagons , carriages and buggies , and the company although hav ing the largest warehouse of the kind in the world has no room to spare. The shipping season for agricultural imple ments ami machinery is about closing with this company , all of their country agents and dealers having boon supplied. The season for the trade in wagons , carriages and buggies is now beginning and the company expect to do an immense busi ness in this lino. They make a specialty in carriages and buggies , and carry a very largo and well selected stock. Last year they sold nearly 1,200 bucgies and ilnsjear they expect to sell over 1 , COO. Their patrons nro principally farmers. This shows that our farmers are in pros perous circumstances and are abandoning the "lumber wagon" as a vehicle of plea sure. They now drive into town either in carriages , light spring wagons or bug gies , and are taking some comfort. The prices at which the Lininger & Motcalf company sell their carriages and buggies enable any farmer in moderate circum stances to possess a light-running vohi clo. Their stock embraces n large num ber of varieties of two-seated carriages , single buggies , two-seated spring wagons , road wagons and carts , fioiu the best factories in the country , and at prices that are remarkably low. It is a pleasure to look through their sample room where a hundred diGorent varieties may bo seen. seen.Tlio establishment of the Liningor & Motcalf company is the largest of the kind in this country , and does a trade that extends all over the agricultural re gions of the west. Besides doing an im mense wholesale business in Omaha , they have numerous retail branch houses and agents throughout Nebraska and adjoin ing states. Mr. Liningor is authority for the statement that there is room in Omaha for ten or twelve ouch houses , and ho hopes to see that number hero at no distant day. Ho has exerted himself to induce now firms In this business as well as factories to establish depots hero , and ho proposes to continue his efforts , as ho believes > maha to bo the natural andbest location for agricultural headquarters for this part of the west. The business is growing very rapidly , owing to the won derful development of the country , and the farmers are in very prosperous cir cumstances. The consequence Is that there is a demand for several agricul tural , implement and machinery ware houses , as largo as that of the Lininger & Motcalf company , in Omaha.

The names of those on duty for the evening were : Mrs. Hitchcock , Miss Maul and Mrs. Wood- bridge , and Messrs. Ross , Beukinridgo , Stobbins and Troup. Mrs. Hitchcock's music is always a treat , and her selections on this evening were more than usually happy. The oration on the "Irish Question , " by Mr. Troup was pronounced by all to bo ono of the finest efforts of the season. His clearness and force of expression , apt comparisons , and natural eloquence im pressed his convictions upon the minds of all. Instead of tlio usual debate , a Shakeopoarian quotation match had boon arranged. Mrs. Mclntyro and Mr. Steb * bins were selected as leaders of the two parlies , making very efficient ones indeed. Mr. W. Hamilton acted as judge. After the quotations had Rene up into the hun dreds misquoted words or misplaced quotations began to drop the members. Mr. Tillaou gave the lost quotation on ono side and Mrs. Perkins on tlio other. Much merriment was occansioned by the mock trial in which Mr.Gurloy arraigned for buying an article of "common defense fense- ana general welfare" at too great i bargain. The pathos of the counsel : 'or the prisoner was only equaled by the wit and grace of the prosecuting attor ney. The jury dissolved an tears. The piece presented a scene of convulsive agitation which was increased tenfold on the conviction and sentence of the prisoner. The club separated at late hour , feeling that a merrier time had never been enjoyed by the members since the organization of the club. i'olici ) Court.

CQRTLAND , A New Town on the Bealrico Exten sion of the 0 , & R , V , Railroad , ItonmrlcnMo Growth About lliIliiKH Krcctocl la IICHH Than Three Months A Hiilcmllrt Excellent Op- liorlunltlcs. Early this spring the Union Pacific completed the Bontrico extension of the Omaha & Republican Valley railroad from Lincoln to Beatrice , a distance of miles. This extension forty opens up a country heretofore remote from railroad connections , and as a result numerous growing towns have sprung up along that road. Chief among thorn is OOKTLAND , situated in Gage county , twenty.ono miles south of Lincoln , and nineteen miles north of Beatrice. The country around Cortland has boon settled for many years by farmers who are now in thrifty circumstances , their farms being well developed. This of couro will give to Cortland a splendid business from the start In this respect Corlland is more fortunate than towns in a now and unde veloped country. The plat of Cortland was filed and the first town lot sold on February 4th. Since that tinio it has grown into quito a village. Indeed its growth is something marvelous , There have boon over 80 lots sold and there are now completed and in process of construction between sixty and sovonty-fivo buildings. Nearly every industry is represented in the business of the town. The receipts in freight amount to between $1,000 and $1,500 per trook , while the shipments amount to nearly as much. The grain dealers are receiving and shipping from 25 to 100 loads of grain per day , it being brought in from a radius of 5 to 14 miles. Being located midway between Lincoln and Beatrice , Cortlana is midway be tween the B. & M. Beatrice branch on the west , and the A. & N. railway on the oast. It will thus bo seen that its loca tion la very advantageous so far as rail ways are concerned. The town site is on high ground , which slopes gradually to the south. It is a beautiful location , and commands a splendid view of the surrounding coun try. The growth so far demonstrates that it will bo the best town in Gage county , next to Beatrice. A postodico has been established , a postmaster ap pointed , and mail service will bo put on the road in a few days , the necessary papers having already been forwarded from Washington for that purpose. The railroad company has erected a line depot building , 24x70 foot. It is really a finer depot than there is nn the main line of the Union Pacific , outside of Fre mont. It is elegantly furnished and nicely kept , and the sumo may be said of all the depots on this extension. Cortland is a telegraph station , and will probably bo made a water station , as water is easily obtainable at this point , in being quito near the surface. A bank has been established at Cert land with a capital of $00,000. The bank building is now being erected , and the vault front and safe are now on the road from the oast. Two hotels are being built , ono of which will bo com pleted and opened in a few days. So far the visitors who have como to look at the town have been unable to find com fortable accommodations. A school house has been opened in the lower part of the village , but o now location is to bo secured near the central part jf the town. The railroad company has built good stock yards , and two parties are novr handling stock. The remarkable growth of Cortland , which is not yet three months old , has boon duo entirely to its advantageous lo cation in a rich agricultural country. The town has not boon advertised or boomed in any way. Everybody who has visited it has been struck with the natural beauty of the location , and its advantages for a business cantor. Wo know " of no place in Nebraska that af- fordj"a better business opening for per sons with energy and limited capital. Persons seeking a now location would do well to pay a visit to Cortland , or write to Mr. U. E. Baker , who is ono of the founders of flit ) town.

In this lifo , BO full of crime and misery , the recollection of a single fatality in a short tinio is merged into the memory of a occond , and both soon forgotten by nil except these whoso duty it is to protect and guard society This la strikingly the caio with llobort Lovitt , the stranger discovered dead nn the Holmes farm four weeks ago. It will bo remembered that this unfortunate man was found IN AN OLD HUT near the then residence f Mr. Fred Droxel. The former occupant of this shelterless tenement returned to it to take away some soinu provisions stored in an out-houso close by. While there ho waa impelled by curiosity to pcor into his former abode , and was astounded to behold the lifeless body of n human being lying in n corner as if wrapped in the sound embraces of sleep. The coroner was notified. Ho wont to the place _ of death nnd examined the body , which was brought into the city. No ono know him. With ono or two exceptions these who came , from curosity , to visit the morgue nud see his remains could not recall that they had seen him before. From papers found upon his person it was learned that his name was llobort Lovitt , nud tlint ha had friends and relatives somwhcro ill Eng land. It was at one time intended to hold AN INQUEST , but it was Bubacquuntly thought unnccou- sary. By reason of Lcavitt's being un known , and having no known friends or relatives , the matter was not investigated as it should have been. His body , after a cursory examination by n surgeon , tvaa interred in the potter's field at the ex pense ot the county. Just previous to his burial , and while his remains were still lying in the morgue , n somewhat re markable discovery waa made. It was learned that four mysterious men had boon making their rendezvous on the bottoms just north of the bridge with a gang of lawless and disreput able companions , nnd just ono week before the frozen body of Lovitt was found these four men iilontly stole away from their old haunts without leaving any clue to their destin ation. Among them had boon A SICKLY MAX whoso description tallied exactly with that of Levitt. It was claimed by the Davises , with whom ho lived , that ho was subject to attacks of illness , when ho would bleed profusely. The morning after the mysterious quartette loft the bottoms , great pools ef blood were found tn the room they had occupied. The neighbors who resided close bv had another version of this aflair. It appears that on the night of their departures the four companions who lived in a single apartm6nt , drank very freely and became much intoxicated , when a general row took placo. A boy living in the same house was dispatched by Airs. Davis for George Cleland , who was living close by. Cluland returned with the boy and also took part in the general melee. Tbo re sult was that the sickly man waa severely stabbed in the groin and other places. That night was the last seen of these four men. Burke , a young man living close by Mrs. Davis , who often saw thu sickly man , was taken up to the raorguii to see the remains of Lovitt. Ho said ho had no doubt of its being the IDENTIUAL HTHANOEK ho had soon so frequently on the bet toms. toms.Within Within a week after his remains were given a last resting place his death and these coincidents were forgotten by most people of this city. After the lapse ot time those acquainted with the facts concerning - corning the tight which took place the night thnso men took their departure , and others who engaged in it began to fool easier. Occasionally a link iu thu chain would bo dropped voluntarily. Again , some while attempting to conceal the deed , would leave additional proof to that already iu store. Within , the last few days HOMK HKMAHKA1ILK DISCOVHHIKH have been made. New facts have boon brought to light by which this mystwry will ultimately bp known to the world. A detective of this city has boon work ing on the case over ainco the f.icts rela tive to the bottoms were brought out. Ho feels confident that in the not far dis tant future this matter will bo fully solved. The Daviaos and all living near them boar testimony to the fact that there were four men in this party. No other number is known by them. The next in formation obtained concerning them after their departure from this city is that they were near Bellevue , living in an old shanty which for some time previous hnd been untenunted. Hero the number of the men is changed. There are only three from this tima on until they are lost eight of. The rod whiskered or sickly man had disappeared. Shortly after the had established thcinabodohoro they were joined by George and Dick Davis , George Ololand , u man named Oollin and another whoso name couk' not bo learned. They remained there for three dayp. Then all suddenly broke camp. The TIIItEU BrttANQK HEN started for Pluttstuoudi an foot. Their companions wandered about Bullovuo for several days and returned to Omaha. Whonlastsconthothreouionweroin south- urn Kansas making toward the Indian Territory , Only a few days ago a message sago was sent by a young man formerly well-known in this city , but who from u continual life of disupation and assuci - tions with the outcasts of the city , haa been forgptten by nearly nil who know him , to n county official , asking for an interview with him. The request was granted by the ofiicial. The interview was opened by the man who requested it by asking how Ur e a reward the state paid for the o. nviction of a murtloruv. Ho was told it was § 250 , Upon being questioned by thoofliiial ho stated ho waa IK V08SESHION OK ALT , TJIB FAOTfl concerning the uH'ray which took place on the bottoms when thu sickly man waa Blabbed. Ho continuedtlmt a murder had buen committed. AU ho wanted ho said , wai to to have the matter invest ! gated and brought to light. He did not care ho enid for the reward , Thi IB all that could bo obtained from Mm. From investlgaioa it was learned thnt ho hnd had trouble with the ( 'avisos nnd hnd chosen to give tholr information through rovongo. It has been lonrnod thnt their dillioultics hnvo since been nettled nnd the man who sought the interview cannot now bo found , U is reported that Jnno Davis , In whoso houao these four men lived , only n short time ago , ntatod thnt George Ololand waa not the ono who HTAIIUnt ) THE StCKIY MAX. A visit to her house failed to elicit nny now _ facts concerning thcso men. She poeitivolynvortod that oho hnd not heard from the four men since they loft. It is said by gome thnt these four men came hero fugitives from justice. Thny chose the bottoms as n plnco secluded from the rest of the world , and waited hero only to elude their pursuers. It is said thnt they nro wanted for eovornl murders corn * milled iu the mining camps of Now Mexico ice nnd other minor olfoaaos committed along their route to Omaha. It is thought by the detective who hns been nt work on the case thnt they nro NOW HAKIMI FOU OU > Kl'.XICO , where they have reason to suspect thnt they will not bo molested for their past offenses. These are the facts which _ RO far have been gleaned concerning tins mysterious ntl'nir nnd thcso mysterious ' "on. If Omaha hns had iu her midst such a band of men her pcoplo should know it.

It watt not n , very valuable weapon , yet it was quite formidable look ing and was a great help m standing oil unpleasant visitors. One morning the revolver was missing and nn clue to the person who took it has buen obtained. A patent security lock was ut once placed upon that drawer , but there are some things which cannot bo placed in a dcak drawer. Thursday the cmmo reporter re moved hia overcoat and left it hanging iu the editorial rooms. Yesterday morning U vr&a discovered that the coat hud followed the revolver. _ Luckily the season of the year has ar rived when it will bo possible to exist without the wiirminglnilucnco of nu over * coat , but for all that the reporter has loss confidence in mankind in general , and the confounded wretch , who robbed him , in particular. If the thief will return the goods ho will bo presented with a lifo sized chroma , nnd will not be called upon to answer any unpleasant or impertinent questions. Furthermore , when the cold and bitter bloats of another winter howl around this country ho will daily receive the blessings of a thankful reporter. POWDER Absolutely Pure. IUipo tl i atrei T&IM.
