The ( JumiiiKl Street Cut.
To the Editor of Tna BEE :
The following appeared in the local
page of your paper a few days ago :
The people out on West Owning street nro
rejoicing in the fact that the council did not
approve of the change of grade on that
thoroughfare. It was the desire of some few
"monopolists" to have a now cut of ton feet
jnadu at ono portion , and the lota already being -
ing thirty-four feet above the wtroet from the
n'rht gri ding , this would , it I ) thought , bo a
llttlu too much of n good thing , aa the real
dpnts did not euro to ba perched up quits HO
high. < The proposition only got the endorse
ment of ono councilman.
The above was evidently instigated by
un interested party and is untrue in al
most every particular , but it Illustrates
the manner by which two or throe men
have attempted to impede public inter-
fist for selfish reasons , and is evidently
done to create public eontiraont to aid in
carrying out their own selfish desires ,
No less than nine-tenths of the people
on Cuming , Sixteenth street and in the
country west want the unsightly hill west
of the military bridge cut and the ravine
west filled , and they feel sadly disap
pointed that the grade is not changed.
It was not the desire of a few "monop
olists" but of the many retail
business men and the f armors
who como in over that road.
The proposed ton foot cut is very short
&nd property Is not already thirty-four
feet higher than the present grade , nor
half or one-third of that. Back on the '
nill where a rich man lives , and draws a '
largo salary from the government , the
height to his porch may be thirty-four
feet , but this is not on Oumlng street ,
lie owns horses and carriages and is able .
to hire a man to drive up to his residence , ,
Should the entire business people , work
ing men and trades people bo compelled
to walk over this hill for his benefit.
Another man who rides In his carriage to
and from the city opposes the cut because
the crown of the hill is not loft at his
place. If this could bo done ho would' '
favor It and sacrifice all hii neighbors
who live east of him. The third man
who opposes it strongly seems to have
nothing to do but to fight every
thing which is proposed for the general
'
good of that part of town , ur.
loss he is bought of. All thla property
'hn been doubled in value by the horse
car and will ba Improved if the now
proposed grade is made. If not made
Cumingl street with all its prospects can
sever be a trade center.
' The people in this part of town feel ;
in the matter and will always
strongly oppose the seven councilmci
who favored the proposed change o ;
aradr. They will never npprovo the
tivo nlio oppose it for the benefit of two
or thrro who continually howl about
"monopolists , " when they themselves
are all able to live without work. This
old dodge about "monopolists" vhon re
Eortcd toby rich men rcmindp'usof the ok
story "Who hilled Ock Robtn. "

HIS WABFAEE O'ER ' ,
Impressive KitCH at tin- Funeral of n
Dead Citizen Soldier.
Ono of the moat aolomn and impressive
funerals thnt has taken place In Omaha
for many days was that of * ho late Her
man Gieoko , yesterday afternoon , con
ducted by Ouster Post of the Grand Army
of the republic.
The funeral cortege loft the house , 414
Eleventh street , nt 2 p. m. It vrno led
by the Union Pacific bund , and following
in regular order came a detachment ot
buglers from Fort Omaha , the hoaroo and
pall bearers choaou from Ouster Post , escort
cert of regulars from the 4th Infantry ,
Fort Omaha , the Grand Army of the He-
public one hundred strong and the rela
tives and friends in carriages.
Ono notable feature of the procession
iran that there were but two or throe
hacks , nnd that the long line of mourn-
OH were convoyed in private carriages , a
rare occurrence. The line of march was
up Farnam to Fifteenth , north on Fif
teenth to Djuglas , west to Sixteenth ,
north to Oumlng and thence by the usual
route to the cemetery. Crowds of citi
zens lined the streets all along the route ,
and gazed with respect upon the last hon
ors paid to the doad. | J
At Prospect hill , the Cold muslo led
the procession , which filed slowly through
avenues of the city of the dead , to the
nolancholy notes of the bugle. Halt-
ng at the grave , which Is In the center
of the cemetery , the escort of regulaio
formed a cordon about the gravo. The
casket , upon -which rested a lovely
wreath of llowors and which was draped
with the National colors , was lifted from
bo hoarse and borne to the sepulchre , of
'allowed by the mounters. The boauti-
'ul burial rites of the Grand Army were
hen gene through , conducted by the
chaplain , Gen. Geo. M. O'Brien and
Commander Simeon Bloom. At tbo close
.ivelvo rounds were fired over the
'ravo and after a short and
iloquont eulogy had boon pronounced by
Hr. Jacob Uauck , in Uorman , the body !
was lowered In the grave. Earth to ,
earth , dust to dunt , ashes to ashes. It
all over. The bleak wind sighs through
ho trees that have lost their summer
'oliago and causes the circle of friends to
ihivur in the actual presence of death ;
ho smoke from tko rllles of the funeral
iscort Hauls away toward the tomb of
lim who died to save all men and the
dead Is leftaloao , uholtorod by the arch-
'ng skies which have covered him before
n battle , bivouac and on the tented
Cold. The ranks of the Grand Army
are thinned by the loss of another com
rade , whose monument Is greater than
my of storied bronze or sculptural mar-
ilo , ho has been a defender of hiscoun-
ry and risked his lifo to perpetrate her
existence.

ita wni nlwnya the headquarters of
P.iynu'a Oklahoma colony. This was the
lioino of Payne , and ono of the finest
townships ot this conntyis named I'nyno
Township , nfter Capt. D. L , Payne , the
Oklahoma boonler. Payne's sudden
death at Wellington. Kan. , on the 28th
inat. , instead of dampening the ardor of
his followers will only draw attention to
the fact that his cause was just , the
courts having so decided , nnd after a ton
years' struggle Payne dies upon hearing
the nowc of n decision made by. Judge
Footer , United States District Judge nt
Topokn , which recognizes the 1 > IOCO,000
acres of land known ns the Oklahoma
Linds ns Government lands , n portion of
the public domain and only needing Con-
crostiontkl action to open the same to set
tlement.
For ton long years Capt. Payne hnd
labored in this cause. lie had been re
peatedly arrested nnd dragged behind
sutler wagoni , had lived on raw dog nnd
BulTirod innumerable privations. Ills
following was n numerous ono. Fully
10,000 people , residing in Kansas , Ne
braska , Texas , Colorado and Missouri ,
nro now members of the Oklahoma cole
ny. To this numerous colony Payne's
sudden death on the very eve of success
will bo a severe blow. Senator Plumb ,
of Kansas , is moving in the Oklahoma
matter. Ilia bill was introduced last
winter and will bo pressed at the present
session. This Irill will probably bo in
troduced in the house by Judge Peters ,
of the Seventh Kansas district. And
the United States courts having decided
the status of these lands , congressional
nction , in the establishment of United
States laud oflicos in Oklahoma , is only
necessary to open them for settlement.
The writer had an intimate personal
acqudintuncowlth ] Payne , and the open
ing of Oklahoma had booomo a mania
with him. Pay no was a largo , command
ing , grave man , easy of manners , polish
ed in conversation , and n very Chester
field in politeness. lie nlwnyn dressed
ns a frontiersman , and was n dead shot
with a rlllo. lie often boasted that
thirty days after Oklahoma opened
would sco 110,000 settlers upon the Ok
lahoma lands. To frontiersmen Pay no
wus known ns "Old Ox Heart , the scout
of the Oimmuron. , ' His relations with
Chief Biiihyhe.xd , Col. ISjudinot , Texas
Jack , DuU'ilo Bill and other scouts ,
chiefs , nud frontiersmen was dose and
of long Htandlng. At the time of his
death ho was nbout iiO years of ago. Ho
ud a favorable acquaintance with must
of the prominent public men of the day ,
and wus one of the earliest nettlera of
Kansas , ills life in print would bo n
ardor romance. Pay no served In the
Kansas hoiiso in 1805 from Donlphan
county , IIo served in the Union nrmy
during the war , nnd had four discharges ,
Ho was a captain in the Nineteenth Kan
sas regiment.
Payne was generous to n fault , and
would loan his last cent to a friend.
Neither did ho hesitate to borrow freely.
IIo was n forcible speaker , and hnd a
wonderful control over his ooloniitn.
In his ipoochofi ho nlways aroused great
enthusiasm. : During tlio few years past
lie has only thought , road and dreamed
the opening of Oklahoma. IIo be
lieved that in tlio very near future the
entire Indian Territory would bo thrown
open 1 to settlement. Ho had given great
ca.ro nnd thought to ell of * the law gov-
jrning the subject , and had spent weeks
In consultation with the best legal talent
: Kaunas , Kansas City , St. Louis , and
oven Now York city ,
The Indian t Territory , Including the
Oklahoma lands , is without doubt the
most body of land in the union unsettled
jy the whites , Its settlement is u mut
er of all absorbing Interest to the Amor-
can people , ns the available lands of the
lublio domain are getting scarce. This
uostion is of great interest to western
juoplo. The Oklahoma country has a
'ot tile soil , stone , timber , pure waternnd
hi ) "golden mean of climate. From tlio
oflbria of Payne and hia followers will
como , in the very near future , u now ter
ritory , and eventually n now state , rival-
ng in production , population and wealth
ho great and prosperous state of Kansto.
lundroda of people believe that the
larno of David L Payne , the Oklahoma
jooinor , will go down to history side by
side with Jim Lane , John Urown and thereat
roat Pathfinder.

Iho city of Ascunciou in Paraguay In a
very nice liitlo city. Nat that It IB pret
ty or pretentious , or worth visiting but
It is an enterprising , republican , go-
ahead place. Most of the houses are
small and old , and are built without any
regard to being on the atroot. Yon can
not imagine a. more irregular assemblage
of houses , but the symmetry with which
the public buildings are built ofTnoto this.
The president's house , government house ,
arsenal , barracks and custom houio ,
stand on wide boulevard ? , nud with the
% xcapUon of the latter , are as well built
ns the similar buildings in any Amorioan
city of the aamo rank. Remember that
fifteen years ago it was sacked by
the Brazlllian army , and look at It now
is a busy trading town of 00,000 people ,
many of them of fine civilization. I will
not go Into dusty details but assure you
that , though isolated , Paraguay la a state
worth knowing. Situated in the warm
heart of South America , it Has under
the shadow of the Sierras and between
the two great rivers iho Parana and
Paraga.

W. u. Ciillott , who appears in "Tho
Secretary" at Library 1UII next week ,
tells a funny utory about himself , in
which ho explains why ho know ho
would take in hij now part. It should
bo understood that "Tho Secretary" is
the story of a tutor's trials , "I know
the play would suit me , " said Mr. Gillett -
lott , in epeukin ; ; of It , "for I had been a
private tutor myculf once and cot into
just such a scripo , It was in 1870 , right
after 1 graduated from Harvard. 1 was
employed in Philadelphia to act ns tutor
to a gentleman's son In Now York.
When I got there the first persona I met
in the house were a couple of handsome
young girls. They had boon 01 pectin j ; a
cousin und at once mistook mo for the
gontloman. They foil upon my nock
and gave mo the narmeat kind of a
greeting. Talk about kissing. 1 got
daaes rod-hot from the mill. The old
story about n cow palling her hoof out
of the mud was nowhere. They kissed
mo forty times if they klssod mo once ,
and then gave mo a chance to explain.
When they discovered that I wasn't their
couniu they collapsed. 1 told them not
to blush , that kiislng wasn't ' injurious to
my health , and if they were not hurt I
felt all right. I explained that I had
boon shaved that morning and my board
couldn't have scraped them. It was
funny , but kind of embarrassing ta the
jlrlfl , I became tutor to the family ,
iiovrovor , and myself and thu ladies
seldom afterwards spoke. I have often
felt Berry _ that 1 wasn't born a coachman.
The Incidents in 'Tho Secretary' are
somewhat like this , only funnier , and
that is why I took such a liking to the
the play. "

tor. IIo ordered that the should bo
clithed Iu Ihnnol saturated with kero
sene oil , nnd that the saturation be renewed -
nowod from tlmo to tlmo. Th9 direction
wna followed ana caused Iho death of the
p.Uiont. The doctor WAS indicted for
manslaughter and convicted , The case
was apponled t j the aupromo court of
Massachusetts. That tribunal liai just
given an opinion Auitaining the verdict.
1 The doctor ollcrod come evidence on
the trial that ho Had prescribed similar
treatment , with favorable results , in
other cases , but thnt in ono the effect had
boon to blister and burn the lUah. Ills
council asked the trial judge ti > charge
the jury thnt If the defendant proscribed
with an honoat purpose and expectation
to cure ho was not criminally liable for
the death of the patient , however gross
his ignorance of the nature of tha disease
or the probable .effect of the remedy ;
that ho could not bo convicted of man
slaughter without finding him guilty of
"obstinate , wilful ruhncts. " Tno judge
refused to so charge , and the ruling Is
affirmed by the supreme court.
It holds thnt it wan not necessary to
show "an evil intent" on the part of * the
doctor. If by gross negllgouco , rcokloss-
iicss or foolhardy presumption ho cmacd
the death ho wan guilty of culpable homi
cide. The defendant
professed to bo a
physician. A physician of the moat or
dinary knowledge and experience la ox-
pcotcd toknow the probable disastrous
cli\Ct ! of the remedy prescribed in this
case. "Tho man who assumes to act as
the defendant did must have done it at
his peril. The defendant know that ho
wns using koroiono and saw from day to
day how it worked. The jury has found
that it was applied an a result of fool
hardy presumption or gross ignorance ,
and that is uuuugh. "
