THE United States seuEtors In tin Grant funeral procession wore paired s na to have cash CDiipla composed of a senator frjm the noiti mil ona from th south. Squalor Mandoraon , of .Nobrat k , and Senator Wade Hampton , South Carolina , were paired in till way. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE minnor in which a gcoat dual o the street rapming is done is simply a iraato of moaoy. Tali is the caio on streets on the hlll-sido , where every rain washes out the dirt that has boon filled into the holes and gullies. This waste o money will continue until the otraots run nlng up Ospltol hill are paved. WE have always labored under the 1m prcsslon tint salvation is cheap , but It cornea rather .high at St. Joo. It wll east the cltlzeui of that place § 5,000 to bring Rav. Sam. Jones there to stir up and convert tha heathen. Bat as Mr. Jonoa draws a bigger ccowd than a circus or a state fair , It will probably provo a profitable investment. By the way , why would it not ba a goad thing to Induce Sam. Jones to come to Oonhi and iuau gnrato the exposition building , upon its completion this fall , with a grand re vival ? THIS old "eooeeh" in Charleston , South Carolina , era still unrepentant and unro constructed. On the day of Grant's funeral there was no demonstration b ; the white pooplo. Charleston was th bot-bed of secession , and it was there that the opening gun of the rebellion was fired. The conduct of the people o Vlcksbnrg on the other hand was in pleasing contrast with that of the citizens of Charleston. Although Vfcksburg suf- forcd from a terrible siege at the hands of Gen. Grant they paid a worthy tribute to his memory en last Saturday. THE wheat crop of the United States this year accord log to the latest and most reliable estimates will fall short cf last year's production by about 204,000- 000 bushels. But last year's crop was so enormous that the price in many parts of the country was actually leas than the cost of production. The farmers have devoted a larger chare of their eilorla this yesr to the production of ether crops , and unexpected weather damage has atill further reduced the yield. But the pro duct for the year la oitlmatcd at 325- 000.000 bushels , and that , with the surplus left over from last year , will comfortably feed 50,000,000 people. THE production of the Russian pe troleum field , which Is rapidly Incrcaalng , Is evidently destined at no distant day to dtivo American petroleum from many of the leading markets of Europe , where It has until quite recently enjoyed a monopoly. One of the heaviest operat ors in Pennsylvania , who not long ago went to Russia to examine the phoneme nal oil wells , or epoutors , at Baknr , big returned with the conviction that Russia bas the bigg ott oil wells in the -world. The wells are operated by the Nobel company , The production of the Bukur welli at present Is between 30,000 and 35,000 barrels B day , which can bo Incroaud to 50,000 btrrols a day. Prom 1879 , when the development of this oil field was begun , until the opening of the proiont year , the Nobel well * , now numbering forty-two , have produced 4,600,000 barrels. During 1881 about 1,000 barrels of refined oil were shipped out cf Russia dally , This year the quan tity will bo Increased to 3ROD or .1,000 barrels a day. The Nobel company started in with a capital of $120,000 , and and now employs $10,000,000. Of course it dictates the price * cf Run/au / oil , and does butlnees on a plan tomowhtt similar io our own gigantic monopoly , tba Stand ard Oil company. It la to Ruts'a ' what ilo Btnndud Is to this country. TDK MONTANA TtUDE. The jobber ! cf Omaha have up to this llmo enjoyed a large trade In the rich territory o Montana , but unices they wake up they are liable to lose a consid erable portion of it. The enterprising jobbers of St. Paul , -who aoml-annually make business trips In a body over their territory to visit their customers and to build up their trade , have laldthelr plans to capture nearly the entire patronage of Montana. Those St. Paul dealers hare just vliltcd the principal towns of Mon tana , and have satisfied themsolvoi of the richness f that field. They were particularly Impressed with the thriving clly of Bntto , where wages amounting to over $000,000 are paid to the minors every month , and where , in the language of the St. Paul Pioneer Prcsi , the leading business es tablishments are metropolitan In their character and proportions and in the extent - tent of their s les. No batter measure , sajs this paper , can bo given of the rela tive importance of Butte as a business center than the simple faot that Its freight business furnishes nearly one- eighth cf the aggregate gross earnings of the en'ire Union Pacific system. The Pioneer Press In urging the Northern Pacific to build a broad guago line to Butte says : It Is n most unfortunate and extraordinary fact thrtt nearly the entire business of this , the richest mining district in the world , lying right in the path of Uio Norlhern Pacific railroad ana belonging legtllmately to its territory , is now monopolized by the Union Pacific railway , which reaches it by the nar row gauge branch , called the Utah & North ern , This narrow Range Hue , extended to Garrison , a diitanca of fHty-fivo miles , under the control of the jealous and hostile corpora tion , whole main line runs four or five hun dred miles south , forms Iho only means of access from the Northern 1'flcific to Units. Wo do neb know what compromises or con cessions were extorted from the Northern Pacific management , during the struggling infancy of that enterprise , by which it was compelled to surrender by far the most im portant and valurtblo business on its route to the greed of n rival which has to reach over four hundred miles out ot its way to get it. It is said that the Union Pacific pays thr Noithern Pacific a large sum yearly to keep out the Butto. But no bribe , however large , can justify the neglect of tha Northern Pa cific to provide the business communities along its line with adcqnnta facilities of com munication with tha markets of the world , H * * * It Is n public wrong to permit the Union Pacific to extortextravrgant prices for this inadequate service. * * * And the jobbers of St. Paul came away from there im- preesed with the conviction that that oxten- tlon would be worth millions of dollars yearly interest . * * * In to their own trade ? spite of a natural desire on the part of the carriers to eecuro the long haul , and In spite of pooling arrangements which great systems find necestary to keep the peace , traffic , when it nsnimes'proportions so considerable as that of liutlo has already reached , will choose and profit by the shortest route from point to point. It is inevitable that the through busi ness of Butle will be carried over the North ern Pacific line. . - - - - - -t--r- Here , then , is certainly a matter wnicn deeervcs the attention of the Union Pa cific as well as of our wholesale dealers. If , as Is charged , the Union Pacific ha bribed the Northern Paclfio to keep on of Bnttc , thus securing a monopoly an maintaining outrageous high rates , strikes ns that It is high time for th Union Pacific to change Ita methods dealing with Montana. Now is the tim to reduce the rates In order to regain th good will of the people of that territory and If possible prevent the Northern Pa cifio from building Into Bntto. Th moment that the Northern Pacific runs In to Butte the UnlonPaclfiowillloaoalarg share of Us Montana traffic , and at th came time the Omaha merchants will ro ccivo a heavy blow. Our wholesale trade although in prosperous condition , is inm shape to experience any auch a loss o business as wonld very likely reanl from a Northern Pacific line to Butto. It behooves our jobbers to Impress upon the Union Paclfio th Immediate neceeslty of a material reduc tion of Montana rates aud the adoption of a very llbeial policy in tbo future towards the business men of that terri tory. tory.Tho The members of the St. Paul jobbers union , among whom are some very rich \nd Influential mon , are bringing every preseuro to bear on the Northern Pacific to build a branch to Butto. They realize the Importance of capturing the trade that is tributary to that point. Now lol ; ho Union Paclfio do its duly , and nol ffait for suggestions and petitions from .ho Omaha jobborc. Lat It at once pul lown its rates. It has boon enjoying nonopoly long enough , In fict , too long , tnd the people cf Montana , groaning cn- ler excessive transportation tariff , will lall with delight the advent of a now mtlet which will give them competition n rates. REWARDING FAITHFUL WORK MEN. The Scranton Stael company has idoptod a very commendable system of incouraglng continuous faithful work on ho patt of its employes. All employes fho have worked for the corn- > any continuously , who Invo not at > ny time , nor In any way , loft the com lany'a service , who have not been dis- barged nor suspended for cause , and who lave neither strack nor quit by their own 'oluntary aot , will have tno following lercentages hereafter added ' - > the itnonnt of their monthly doe bills ; When a man ehall have worked for the ompany conlmuouily , as above , for the pe- lodof one year , a bonui of 1 par cent , will e added to th amount of hli duo bill ; on e ail a half yean , 1 } par eaat.j two yoin , 2 or coat. ; two ami n half yoira , S } par cant. ; ad soon , one-half of ona per cent , for eich idltlonal six months of oaatlrmpm work , up > lift years , after which tba percentage of anui will not ba lacreaiad , The works are ajjuined to hava coin- leuced operations In May , 1883 , mi ercontagei Trill date from that tlmo to ich men ai arj entitled to tbo same ndor the abwc cpnditlona. This cus tom does aot apply to foremen or salaried officers , This plan Is cort&luly worthy of consideration b/ every extensive em ployer In this country who desires to avoid strikes and to aoauro faithful work men. The only obstacle In the way ol Its general adoption la the fact that It will bo a dtfflcultjnaUer to induce competitors to agree upon any such system of rewards One ostabllsmont conld hardly afifjrd to pay such rewards while another in the same line of business refuses to do it and thus be enabled to ooll its product at a lower rate than its rival. But in such extensive concerns as the Scranton stool company tha plan uo doubi can bo profitably carried out. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DUIY The BEF. Is not making war upon th homo insurance companies , bat it doe not tike much stock In the "homo" busl noes as Inaugurated in this state. Ther may bo some except Ions , and hones management may be hampered by I ricks tors and confidence men , but on th whole -wo do not believe It is safe or prn dent to risk Ufa or properly with partlo who go Into the Insurance business on the benevolent or beneficent plan for th purpose of seeking patronage under th plea of patronizing homo Industry. Mos of those mutual benevolent Institution have no bottom beyond the toner or fifteen per cent paid In by parties vrho have boon induced to sub scribe to the stock with tbo Idea tha they will receive about five hundred po cent on every ton cents invested. Wo venture turo to eay that if the paid up politic were thrown up In a body and the cxcca had to b refunded , there would bo a tcr riblo crash. The nttorney-gonnral , no matter what wo think of htm , politically or personally , Is right In investigating those companies , and wo shall sustain him It Is his sworn duly ti protect people against bogus Insurance and against in surance schemes that are conducted con trary to law and without proper inaran- tees of safety to the hunted , It is to bo hoped that hln Investigations and pro cocdlngj will bo thorough and impartial Do must not allow himself to bo influ cnced In any way for political reasons So far ai the BEE is concerned it ha ; al ways fought quacks and Impostors of ev cry description , and wo do not propose to have our hands tied even if some of our best friend ] are caught in the round-up of those flimsy concerns. MINNESOTA'S ' CENSUS. The state census of Minnesota , which la rapidly approaching completion , fur nishes some interesting statistics. In 1880 the stito had a population of 780- 733 , and the returns from fifty of tbo seventy-nine counties show on average Increjso during the five yaars of over 20 per cant , which would indicate a prcseni population of about 1,000,000. The most populous countloj in the state are Ramsay and Hennopln , In which St. Paul and Minneapolis are located. It la estimated that In these two counties there are 250,000 people , or about one-fourth of the entire population of the state. The city that has had the moat remarka ble growth during the past five years la Dulnth , which has grown from 3,483 , in 1880 to 18,030 , an Increasa of 14,653 , or over 400 per cont. She his jumped from the position of seventh to that of the third city in the state. Still water baa a population of 10,438 , an Increase of 0,055 , going ahead of Wlnona , which drops down from third to fifth place , her population being 15,025 , an increase of 5,417. The census returns from St. Paul and Minneapolis will probably bo filed this week. Each of thcsa cities will show a population of over 100,000. Sev eral countloa and towns show n decrease. The moat remarkable is tint of the town of St. Charles. In 1880 It had 2,011 , and in 1885 it has only 1,184 , a decrease of 827 , or about 40 par cont. Compar ing the census of Minnesota with that of Nebraska , wo find that the formar state Increase ! ) her pjpuhtloii b ? 20 per cent. , while the latter hai Increased over 50 per cent. Nebraska now Inn about 730,000 population , or very nearly throe- fourths of the population clainnd by Minnesota. It la safe to predict that within the next five years Nebraska will catoh up with Minnesota , if she does not leave her behind , a hero In the person of Long John Wentworlb. Ho has pur- chatod aton thousand dollar lot in a ceme tery near that city , upon which ho pro poses to have erected a sixty thousand dollar braes monument of heroic- size to perpetuate hla own rn nry. His many admiring friends feel that they have been relieved of a monumental burden. Had not the farseeing Long John thus pro vlded fora monument , his frlenda would probably have felt bound to give him one worth about tlx dollars. Taking Into consideration what millionaire Wentworth - worth has done for Chicago and the public wo think a six-dollar monument would ba altogether too extravagant an outlay In bis honor. Bays the Chicago Herald ; "No citizen to whom Chicago gave so much returned so little , If ho were wise he would discover that there are monuments and monuments,1 that some have their foundation In the gratl tudo and good will of a people who 10- uumber a benefactor ; that others bnt mark the vanity of tbo rich and foolish , and evoke the contempt of mankind. " MAYOR BOYI has issued an order that the saloons must be closed at midnight , > nd that the doors mint be closed on Sunday. This la a step In the direction r ) f reform on the psrS cf our reform usyor. How long the order will bo ibajod remains to be seen , If It is not ibiorved any longer than was the order osardlng the doors o ( gambling dens It dll ba of bat brief duration. ' y ANECDONSS OP GEN. GUtVNT , Kcpnngnnnoo to Ostentation uls importtirbAbllltr An Incident ot Fott Donolson. Gen , Grant's ropungnanco to anything like snobbishness or oitontallon was one of his marked characteristic * . Shortly after ha settled down In Now York city a noted artist desired to paint hii per trait. Consent being gained , the artist called at the hotito { or his first sitting lie Is a man whoso elegant deportment and aristocratic bearing are among his prominent characteristic ; . The general received his guest In a blnnt and open manner , invited htm to the parlorwhere an easel was prepared and tno work bo- gun. There was a knock at the dosr. "Come in , " said the general , it provrd to be Mrs. Gran * . She wanted money for marketing. The artist struck an attitude of heroic Indifference at the easel , while ho watched the General pull out an old-fashioned , faded , and much- worn pockotbook. It was tied with a black string , which ho slowly removed , got the money , and handed some to hla wife. The black string , the veteran wallet , the filthy lucre , or something in the transaction Itself , shocked the sensi bilities of the artist , if the painful ex pressions on his mobi o face told the truthful tale , bnt ho managed to resume work. It was a warm day. The nrttat perspired. Presently ho wont across the room and pulled a boll-cord. "What do you want ? " asked Gan. Grant. ' 'I rang for a servant to bring mo a glass of watsr , " was the reply. The general got up frjm his chair and walked out. In a moment or two he re turned Ttith a goblet of Ice-wator for the thirsty artist , win was so confused that ho oven forgot to express his thanks. The general paid not the slightest attention to hid confusion , but went on with the sit- tlug as if nothing had happouod. One of the stories of Grant's Imper turbability was told after ho had taken charge of the army of the Potomac. A visitor to the aruiy called on him eco mottling. The general was ainoking and talking to his stair officers. The caller Inquired of him : "General , If you ( link Lea and got , between him aud Hammond will you not uncover Washington and leave It a prey to the enemy ? " General Grant lot a big wave of araoio roll out of hla mouth as ho replied in an indlfioront way , "Yes , I reckon at. " Encouraged in his line of attack on the cltadol of In- f 01 illation , the visitor continued : "General , don't you think Leo can detach sufficient force from his army to reinforce Beauregard and overwhelm Bntler'f" "Not a dobnt of it , ' said the General as calmly as before , ' while ha knocked the ashes from his cigar with his little finger. The chocked face of the qacrisi was evidence of his perturbation of spirit over Grant's replies , ai ho propounded a third luqalry : "General , Is there not danger lh\t John ston may come up aud reinforce Lee , eo that the latter will awing around and cut your communication and sob.3 your sup plies ! " "Very likely , " said Grant , aa ho paffed another wave of smoke out of bis mouth BO aa to form a series of tings. The visitor hastened back ta Washington full cf the horrible fate that was admit tedly pondirg over Grant and the army , while Grant and the army went on to Richmond. Tbo colonel of a western regiment ob tained from Goa. Grant a sick-furlough. While ha was at home ho was nominated for congress and proceeded to canvass the district , applying meanwhile for an ex tension of the furlough till after election day. Gen. Grant wrota on tha bick of the papers : "If Col. Blank ij able to travel over hla district to electioneer for congress ho Is able to b = with his regi ment , and Is hereby ordered to join it Immediately or be dlamiisad from the service. " Gen. Grant could obey orders aa well aa give them. Ho walked down to the whurf at City Point one day , absorbed in thought. The Inevitable cigar was in ila mouth. A negro guard touched hi ) arm and said : "No smoking on the dock , s h. " "Aro those your orders ! " asked ; ho general , looking up. "Yes , sab , " re plied the watchman , courteously bat do- ildodly. "Very good orders , " said jlrint , as ho threw hi ] cigar Ir , the water. AT T11J3 YAHD-.1KU. ReccolIectlonB of a Witness of tlio Exemplary Execution on tlio Itrig Sauicru in 18112. Philadelphia Times. "I was a boy in the United States Navy on the brig Soraors In ' 42 , when thoeo three mon were hung that were ra- erred to In tbo 'Lookout' column of the Clmcs some tlmo ago , " said John W. Davis , on Chestnut otteet the other day. 'The sight of thoio thrao young msn langlng at the yard-arm and their burial it the eca at night has haunted mo all ny life. It often comes up bsforo ma when I'm walking along the street. I an never forget It. I know Spancer , the aidahlpnian , well. Ho waa a wild , dare- evil sort of fellow , about nineteen joara f ago , but good natural and not rnali- lously Inclined. I think the execution f all tbo men was a grave mistake , and n looking back at it now I believe that It irai foul murder. "Wo sailed from New York on the 3th of September , ' 42 , for the coast of ifiica , and first began cruising In the vest Indies. In the latter part of No- ember , before wo reached St. Thomas , lldshipman Spencer , who was the son f the secretary of war , was suddenly leized one day , put In double Irons and cept a prisoner In close confinement. Two > ther men , the boatswain's mate , who raa acting as boatswain , and whoso name TBS Cromwell , and a soamau , who was taptain of the main top , named Small , vero arrested a day cr two afterward ] , bllowcd by tbo arrest of four others. All voro put In double Iron * . Wo bad no uarino cuard on board. The offiosra ap- > eared to bo frightened to death about lomothing and the men of the ship's com- jany were afraid tobesjen talking to taoh other. After Spoucor's arrest it vas no'sjd around decks that he had brmed a p'ot ' to selzj the ship , along vlth a few of tbo ahlpVcrow , and turn t Into a piratical craft. Among others , locorrmanlcated his plan to tha purser's toward , who got a list of the conaptr * .tors and told the whole rtory to Lieut. klolntoeh , the executive tilicer. "Two cr throe days after the arrests a lumber of the oiiicars mot In the ward corn and called in a number of the ship's riiw and examined them. Tno state- lents und oven the opinions of oich wit- iesa was taken down , but the accused ion were not allowed to face their ao- ueeri , were not to'd what ; the charge ! rero in detail and were not granted any pportuniiy for explanation ur defjnio. > u ( he 1st of December , four daya after poncor'd arrest , ho , along with Oroni- oil anl Small , were told to get ready to. IP ; that they were gsli'K to swing at the ] 11 trlarm at ones. Spencer and the'c ' ctptaln of the top acknowledged their unlit and were willing to die ; bnt the acting boatswain protested his Innocence to the last , and Spencer declared , also , that ho , Cromwell , had nothing to do with the plot , 'Call all hands to witness nxecatlon , ' tald the first lieutenant. The ship's company sullenly ranged themeelvus on the quarter-dock and at other point ] , while the cfllcsrj of the ship stood around with drawn aud sharpened swords to cut down any onp who faltered In Inflicting the awful penalty. When everything was ready Spencer and his two companions were allowed to bid their friends good-bye , then Captain Macken zie gave the signal , a gun was fired , the colors were hoisted and at the same llmo the throe men , with capi over their faces , were swung out on the main yardarm. It was a horrible sight to look at. All of the men died game. Commander Mac kenzie then made a speech to in abnnt the nocoisity of discipline and the awful crlmo of mutiny. At night funeral tor- vices were react by the light of the battle lanterns and the bodies were put on the 'tilting board' and dropped overboard into the sea. It wan n solemn soeun , I assure you , and it made on Impression on my youthful mind that can never bo erad icated. In a day or two wo rtn into St. Thomas end then sot sail for Now York , arriving there on the 14th of Dosembor. "There nas a good deal of excitement when the news of the mutiny and the hanging got noised around and hundreds of people came dorrn to the ship to eoa in. All of the others arrested were dls- mlisjd from custody. Oammander Mackenzie was court marlialod about a month afterwards and the court sat for forty days but acquitted him. It was composed of his brother officers. Mackcn- zio was not liked by the men. Ho was a brutal martinet , anyhow. Flogging was allowed in the navy in those days and ho was very fond of administering the "cat" for trivial ofTennoo. The friends of the executed men tried to have Mackenzie Indicted ia Now York tor murder , but the judge decided that the civil law was not applicable to his caeo. " NEBKU'KA AND IOWA FA111S.

Tow a TonncsBco Hualjmul E.\plntcd Ilia Fault In Death , Detroit Free Press , There was a terrible thunderstorm omlng up , and a thunderstorm among ho mountaina of Tenneaieo meana much o the traveler over the narrow and wind- eg roads , each ono full of peril from ailing rocks or rushing water. It was rowing dusky , too , and In the cloom and .urry to reach shelter 1 came near riding ver a womau who was coming down the oap at a run. She screamed out and limp 3d aaldo , and aa aho stood for a mo- lent I called enl : "The storm will bo hrro in ton mln- tpii. Run for the house 1" For ait Inetaut I caught eight of a rhlto fico under a sunbonuot. The ryes rero wild , the teeth not hard , and I lionght of a minlao It was only for on i&tint , and then a flash of li 'tUnlng sot bo horse cfl at full gallop , ilo rau for alf a mile an If frightened for his life , urned Io the right and leaped a fence , nd aa ho hulled at the door of a cabin a oice shouted in my ear : * Git down and come In1 Iko will table tbo kottl" The btorni broke at tint moment , and hat with tbo wind , the nin , the rdd as'jea and loud railing thunder , wo uald only alt and look at etch other for the first quarter ot an hour. Then Iho storm lulled into n stonily pour , accom- panlon by an occasional ficrco glut , and I know that It wonld bo daybreak before wo saw the last of It. The man placed provisions on the table and aat down to the board with mo. Ilo made a great effort to appear hospltaMo and cheerful , but I noticed that ho Trai listening intently , as If for \olco or a step , and twice ho rose up aud went to the window. By and by 1 recollostod of seeing a woman , rind asked : ' 'la there a cabin withinamllo or eo of thla down the wad ? " "None for nijh onto thrao , " ho re- pliod. "Then God help the woman I mot half a mile below as the storm wai breading ! " "A woman 1 Did the have on a eun- bonnet1 ? "Yes. " "And dark " a dross ? "Yes. " "That was Mary , my wl'ol Sbo eald eho would , but I didn't tollovo It. " "Would whoi ? " Ilo rene up and ilunc ; open the door to look out , A sheet of raiu blow half way across the room , extlngu'shlnglng ' the candle and leaving na In ilirknuns , and the cabin rocked under the wind ai if it wonld blow over. The man ahut the door , relighted the candle , aud , placing it at the window GO that ill light would shine down the road , ho came over tome mo and said : "Yes , that was my wifo. SVo have boon marrlnd two yeara. Yonder In tbo cradle sloops our infant , " "And what pcsjoracd her to start out In this awful storm ? " "I didl" ho exclaimed In an accusing volcj. "Wo had a quarrel. Bnt for mo it wonld have been only a trifle. She was proud and haughty , though loviug and affectionate , and , while I know I was In the wrong , I waa determined to hum ble her. An hour ago , when I demanded , with the beating of a tyrant , that she ro- trast certain statements , eho calmly dretssd horaolf and cot out for a tevcn- mtlo walk to her father's. " "You must have been Insane to lot her got""God "God forgive mo , bnt I would not say ono Trord to keep her I I didn't believe aho would go and when she want out , kissing the baby good by , bnt having neither word ncr look for mo , I would not oak her is stay. " "And whit are htr chances In this ntorm ? " His facn was deiUh'y pale and his voice trembled like a child'u ua ho answered : "I'm ' goincr to look for her and I wunt yon to mind th ] cibin and the child. The little ono la a sound nlcoporand the storm will prosv no worso. " Taking down hla lillo ho rp3ncd the door and dashed out into the storm , and I was left alone. For houra there waa no break in the fury of tbo storm. For hours the child slept peacefully through all the turmoil. When mornlug cimo the sky was clear , tbo mm bright , and the birds saug joyously. The colored man who hatl taken ciro of my horao coon appeared , and after a bite ta oit I started down the road In hopes to meet my boat returning with his wife. A mile and a half from the cabin I found thsm both. Whether aho had baen otruok down by a 11 ish or her life beaten out by the storm I conld not sty. Shu lay beside a largo rock at the roadside. In the awful darkness ho had found her , but oho wss dead. lie lay beside her , ono arm partly covering her face , and la the centar of her fore- brad was a blue black hole , from which the blood olowly oczd Ho had ehot lilrasalf bssido Mary's dead body. Tompornnco Matters. A largo audience gathered In the Saunders streetPresbytorun church Sun- night to listen to Hon. T. B , Dcmareo , the eloquent temperance apostle of Ken tucky. The music was very bsautifully rendered by a quartette composed of Miseos Alllo and Grace Pratt , Dr. S. K. Spaldiug and Mr. WhlttleeoyMtsa Lottie Phelps presiding at the organ. Rev. F. S. Blayncy , pastor , engaged In ecrlrjtura reading and prayer and with a few vigorous words for the temperance causa , ho Introduced the speaker. The lecture was full cf argument , facts , pathos , story and a dash of humor. Hla eulogy upon the Christian women , typi fied by that work of art , "Simply to the cross I cling , " In which a woman clinging to the cross with ono hand Is reaching down with the other to sivo a drowning man , So the Christian women , and also other temperance societies are clinging to the ernes with ono hand and reaching to save tbo fallen with the other. God bless , the W. 0. T. U. His arguments for prohibition were clinched with irresistible logic. Mr. Demareo will to-night organize a lodge of Good Templars In the same church , which will bo known oo the North Omaha Good Templar lodge. All ere cordially Invited. Tlio IMnttHiiioiitu Snooting. Mr. D. H. Wheeler , who came up from Plattsmcuth yesterday says that ho thlnki that City Editor Outright , of the Journal , who WAS shot in Plaits- month , Sunday , has hardly boot cor rectly represented in the dispatch bearing upon the subject.
