THE OMAHA. EXPOSITION ,
The Indications are that the Omaha exposition
position , to be hold September 4th to
lllh Inclusive , will not only bo a Riant ]
success in every particular , but that it
will bo the biggest fair over hold In Ne
braska. All the arrangements for ac
commodatlng the exhibitors , OB well as
the imtvenso crowds that will b3 In at *
tendance , have been perfected , and the
grounds are now in splendid condition ,
There will bo a very largo attendance
from all sections of the state , and also
from Western Iowa where there ii no
largo fair to bo held this year. Reduced
rates faavo been secured , not only upon
all Nebraska roads , but also upon Iowa
roads , a thing never boforooocompHshoJ.
The entries up to date are
great deal larger than they have
over boon at this time at state fairs , two
weeks before the opening. The amount
of money ottered In premiums la double
the sum over given at any Nebraska state
fair , and there will bo no scaling. Every
premium will bo paid in full. The tota"
amount of money for cash prizes Is $22 ,
880 , of the sum of 810,000 Is for speed
purposes. The races will bo a great fca
turo of the exposition , Borne of .tho bos
horses having been secured. The entric
of cattle , hogs , implements , machinery
etc. , are very numerous , and every department
partmont will bo very oomploto. In ad
dltlon to other features of the amusement
mont programme there will bo a balloon
atcanslon aa tbreo days of the exposition
and also a dlsplsy of .fireworks. No fal
haa over offered so miny attractlona a

THAT NORTHERN ROAD.
Omaha needs and must have a railroai
of her own to northern and northwestern
Nebraska. That la the only solution o
the railway problem with reference t
the northern half of the state. So long
aa wo are without auch a railroad wo shal
bo at the mercy of the Chicago & North
western and Its Nebraska allies , which
will contlnuo to discriminate ogalnat u
and turn a deaf ear to all camplalnta
Such a railroad aa wo have suggested i
the key to the situation. It should bo
built and controlled by Omaha capitalists
but If that can't bo done wo would urge
a3 the next best thing , that res sonablo
assistance bo given to any railroad com
pany that will construct and operate the
line In the Interest of Omaha , which
must bo the terminus.
The people of Northwestern iTsbraska
who are compelled by reason of the un
just discriminations against Omaha to
ship tholr live stock and other products
to Chicago and to purchase tholr gooda
In that city , are really In sympathy with
Omaha , and would send their shipment
to this market if they had a direct rail
road communication. They want the
proposed road as much as Omaha does
Aa an evidence of the deslro of the pco
pie of Northern Nebraska to secure the
building of this road wo publish the fol
lowing letter , which spcaka foritaelf :
NIOBBUIA , Neb , August 20,1885.
J. A. CnBiOHio.v , Eq. , Omaha :
Star Sir Our people are very desirous o
getting a direct Hue to Omaha. At a recent
public meeting here the universal feeling was
that a bonus in the Bhapo of bonds , light o
way , depot grounds , &c , could bo had in this
county for such a lino. At such meeting the
undersigned were appointed a committee to
correspond with your people in regard to th
matter. Knowing that yon are Interested in
the progress and welfare of Omaha as welt as
that of Northern Nebraska , wctako the liber
ty of addresting you. Will you kindly eeo
yonr people who would interest themselves In
auch a project and advise. AVouldn'fc It ad-
vancp the Interests of the B , & M. and stiik
a blow at the Northwestern ?
Respectfully ,

The eamo feeling , as expressed lu this
letter , exists throughout northern Ne
braska. If the proposed road la started
at an early day there will bo no trouble
In securing tha right-of-way , together
with substantial aid from the various
towns nnd counties through which the
line will run. The BEE Is opposed on
general principles to the voting of bonds
to rail frays , as tha people have been
swindled too often In this way , but wo
bavo reason to believe that the voting c :
a reasonable amount of bonds for this
Omaha and northern Nebraska enterprise
would provo a profitable in vestment to
all the counties , Including Douglas o ;
course , through which the line
will bo built. Bub the projectors , whoever -
over they may bo , must glvo oyldonca oi
good faith and convince the people thai
the road Is to ba pushed to a rapid comple
tion when it ii once started. It mutt be
no stock-jobbing affitr , gotten up merely
for the purpoio of securing a lot of bonds
and then selling out. Ic must bo a bona
fide business enterprise. When thn people
plo are convinced that the projectors
mean business they will no doubt render
aid to a reasonable extent.
The importance of the enterprise can
not bo overestimated. Now Is the time
to agitate the matter , and take advantage
of the present and Ppresiing demand for
auch a railroad , Wo would suggest that
a mooting of the loading business men
and capitalists , together with the board
of trade , bo held at once to fully dlicuis
tbo project. Lot there bo no delay ,
SKORETAUY KNDIOOTT'S order No , 85 ,
which ordered officers on detached duty
o return to their regiments , la not likely
after all to bo a ) much of a "roiurreotlon
o ! the trmy" aa waa predicted. The
rltlcal eye has discovered a loop-holo In
ho ordor. It la the following proviso ;
'Unless assigned to special duty by the
far department. " Already an assign-
lent hai been made by virtue of this

away from his Washington friendships
and asioclfttlons and sending him to the
frontier of the rowdy west , Secretary
Endlcott has kindly assigned him to daty
In the office of the publication of the re
bellion records , for the work upon which
ho hss no special qualifications , This
favoritism oan only bo accounted for by
the fact that Lieutenant Lyra on la an
Intimate friend of Secretary Eadlcott ,
and a brother-ia-law of Senator Ed
munds. This is reform and "rosurroo-
tlon" of the army with a vengeance ,
Indeed , It will bo oomo tlmo before
Secretary Endlcolt will boar the end ol
the criticisms that will ba made upon his
partiality in this instance ,
CANALS AND RIVERS ,
The recent Now York canal conference
which recently mot at Utlca , waa ono
of the most Important conventions
over held in that sUto , The
delegate * were nearly all influontla
men , and the result of their deliberations
liberations will no doubt provo boncficln
to the canal lyatom of that state , which
haa became an Important factor in the
transportation problem of the country a
largo. That the canals are of the groat-
ojt importance aa regulatora of frolgh
was the unanlmoua sentiment of the con
vontlon , and the general feeling wa
in favor of tholr immediate- improve
mcnt. It waa virtually decided not to
look to congrotu for aid , bat to cove
the expense of the contemplated Improve
ments by atato appropriations. Both po
lltical parties in the coming etato cam
paign will no doubt ondorao the sctiou o
the canal convention , and with such an
endorsement the next legislature ough
to have no hesitancy In making llbora
appropriations. What the canals are
Now York the Mississippi and the Mis
souri and their navigable tributaries ante
to the northwest , and tholr Improvomon
Is urged by the people of the great grain
producing regions of the Mississippi am
Missouri valleys. Prom the nature o
the water routes of the northwest womui
look to congress for the money to
pay the expense cf , improvement
This Is the object of the northwestern
waterways convention to bo held at St.
Paul next month. That convention ,
which will ba largely attended by dele
gates from Minnesota , Iowa , Illinois ;
Missouri , Kansas , Nebraska , Dakota am
Montana , will thoroughly dlscnts the subject
joct and formulate a petition to congress
which cannot very consistently Ignore
the claims and demands of the states
and tonitoiies that produce the groa
bulk of the grain and live stock of this
country.
SOMEBODY has taken the trouble o
counting up the executions , legal and Il
legal , which have occurred in this conn
try la the first six months of the cuiran
year , and comparing them with the fig
ures of 188-1. It appears that in 1881
there were 193 lynchlngs , on Increase o
nearly a hundred over 1883. Bat In hai
of 1885 the number was 99 , of which 75
were in the southern states and 24 in the
north. Texas has nearly a third of th
whole numbar. In the northern states
cast of the Mleahslppl there were bu
three Instances in which a mob "took thi
law Into their own bauds , " anc
all of lho 0 in Obio. The popu
lar fooling about horso-stcallng in
tome parts of the country is shown by th
fact that that ciimo ranks next to mur
der is a provocative to mob violence. On
the other hand , there haa been a market
decrease of legal executions , only forty
two persons having been hang by the
sheriff in the above six monthr , against a
total of 123 hat yew. The proposal o
oomo philanthropists to put an end to
capital punishment sounds fanny in view
of the jxolblt of public feeling on the
question. The oxlstenco of that penalty
and the belief In an adequate enforce-
forcomont of the law probably aaves as
many lives from mob violence aa are
taken In duo course of the law.
' IT la a little singular , but nevcrthsles
true , that the "rasoala" that are being
discovered just now are mostly among
the recent democratia appolntoaa. Turn
the rascals out.

poses to resign from the cabinet Is again

light buggy has taken fright at an op
preaching engine. No ono can blame thi
baaat the Iron monster as It comes will
hissing exhausts clouding Iteolf in Btoam ,
through whlon it gives successive slgna
blaats ( enough to frighten anything sua
ceptiblo of otnolions. Still the horsa
stands transfixed in the center of the
track , speaking Iti terror in its quivering
flank ? , dilating nostrils end unruly ro
fusel to budgo. The gentleman driver in
alatm piles the whip cruelly bt to no
ond. The engineer cannot check thai
heavy freight behind him In season anc
the tragedy seems almost at hand , when
an active figure darts from the crowd to
the horse's head and literally drags the
animal from the rails.
A pissengor train has &t thla momcnl
pulled in and the airivala ere pouring
across the tracks to the street cars , or be
ing taken at a hazardous daih by the
foarhsi cabmeR. Goodness , what a mad
racel Wonder'tis that those flviog ve
hicles don't collide or run down aome
ono ; they are qnlto as dangoroua aa the
cara.
cara.A long freight train draws by half Ita
length ncd stopj. Back it ruin n quar
ter , then forward , and BO it Bec-aawa lorn
quarter of an hoar. On bath sldoj the
wcgona have moved upawaiting passage1 ,
and BO cloao that the hones' heads
can almost touch the moving cara.
At last the train pulls out and
; ha Ecamper which ensues almost
checks the breath. Tao race ii for the
airiftandat a dizzy run some four or
ivo take the hill southward or the street
u tha oppoaito direction , so close to
gather that the most dextrous driving
ilono saves a smash.
Thus it goes the whole day long , such
scones with endless variations recurring
day by day. Yes , Indeed , the railway
company will ba held responsible for loss
of llfo or personal iojuries and that Is
tha reason doubtless , that Mr , Oallaway
said the ether day that ho wonld llko to
nit a big union depot on the site of t
costing or was willing to negotiate with
ha committee of citizens for a viaduct.
SIDEWALK OBSERVATIONS.
GOOD amusements at popular prices will bo
ho programme in Omaha this reason.
IN ono window of a Douglas street rostau-
ont a show-bill representing a galaxy of fe
male beautlas in tights Jus been hung just
above the restaurateur' clgn "frog leg * , "
while in the other window a somewhat aim *
lar picture of a lot of tow-beadsd damsels has
icon placed above the u'gn "Spring chickens. "
Business ought to ba brisk at that eatabliih-
meat.
THE new sidewalk around the Wabtsh
xirner Ii a big improvement , and will bo ap-
irociatod by tha sidewalk conventions during
iie fall canpaign ,
cent restaurants , where every article
on order coaU you a nickel , are becoming
uite popular in Omaha.
JIM SmniBNSON continues to give evidence
f hlj enterprising spirit , lsldui ! : patting A
pnblio drinking fountain for horse ] on the
sidewalk in front of hla livery stable , bo has
jtut added to his Hansom cab line an elegant
baggjgo wagon , drawn b ? a beautiful horse.
Wo rirogUJ to hear Ibat Jim's cabs are n pay-
lug institution.
OWINCI to the rivalry botwooa tha artificial
stone mon anil lha natural utono contractors
to secure contrasts for work , Omaha Is fast
getting tome good sidewalks. I,3t the good
work go on.
TUB B , fc. M , hoatlquartora , with tie | now
addition and a fourth storv , will ba a very
largo building , It la to bo neatly painted and
will present n hixtvlsomo and Imposing appear *
nnce. The frontage on 1'arnam street will bo
88 feet , while that on Tenth n 132. It Is an
open secret that the enlargement is being
made to accommodate the B , k M. offices at
Lincoln , which are to ba moved to Omatm as
coon ai the building is completed , Lincoln ,
however , gets a b'g freight depot.
KTKHY day furnishes additional evidence
that the Omabn exposition is to bo a grand
SUCCOBS in ovcry particular ,
ST. MART'S avenue , since it has baon paved ,
has bccomo ono of the liveliest business thor
oughfares in Omaha.
THE A. L. Hiring company has secured the
contract for putting In a system of water-
worfca at West Point for 515,000. Several
ether towns in Nebraska are figuring with this
company for waterworks.
THE contract for building the St. Paul ex
tension of tbo Chicago , Burlington & Quincy
haa been let to'ono man for $9,000,000. Hero
la o good opportunity for sub-contractors , of
whom thera are quito a number In and around
Omaha , to catch on to some good jobs ,
SATUIIDAY evening n spirited saddlo-horso ,
tied to a hltching-stono opposite the Paxton
hotel , became frightened and dragged the
stone , weighing over 125 pounds , into the
middle of the street and on to the street car
track. Such hitching stones should not bo
allowed , as horses frequently thus drag them
away , and the result will bo a serious icctdont
sooner or later.
TUB Trinity boll-ringer is knocked com
pletely out of time when playing n tune upon
the chimes if another boll rinpa during the
performance. On the other hand the choir-
singers in other churches are equally disturbed
by the Trinity chlmoa. Thus hag there a dis
cord bosn created among church musical
circles.
HORSE-THIEVES IN" ECO ,
r BIH ! WclnberR Arrested
in n Lincoln Hotel by Deputy
Sheriff GrowoII ,
Mention was made in the BEG of Sat
urday , of the fact that Mr , J. A.
McShano had rosoverad the two horses
stolen on Thursday by Kerr and Weln-
borg , the two young sports from the oast.
They were discovered in a B. & M. oar ,
having been shipped from Ashland , Nob.
Deputy Shoiilt Ed. Orowoll , who had
been keeping prolty close track of the
two young men , both by telegraph ana
telephone , discovered that they were
heading for Lincoln. IJo took the eve
ning train for that city , arriving there
late at night. Ho made no search for
them that evening , but the next day
started out to too if ho
could locate them. Chancing to drop in
at the Metropolitan hotn ) , ho saw on the
register the names of Jim Morrlsoy and
Frank Martin , of Wichita , Kansas.
Suspecting that those might bo the as
sumed names of Kerr and Wolnberg , ho
made inquiry and found that they bad
oomo in without any money , and had
boon given lodging for "a wool
charity's ' Bake. " Crowell then
went up to the rooms oc-
by Messrs. "Morrlsoy" nnd "Martin , "
end found the two would-bd toughs , Kerr
and Woinber ? . They wore both armed
but attempted no resistance , and are now
in thi county jail awaiting trial , Mr.
McShano will not ba homo for a day or
two , snd in all probability the two young
men will not be brought into court until
Wednesday.
Kerr and Woinberg'ssy that they left
town for the purpoto of having a little
quiet time in the suburbs. They became t
intoxicated , and fearing to coma bask to
Omaha , wont to Ashland. When In
that city they road the BEE , and taw
that the county authorities were looking
for them. They became frightened and
shipped the horses back to Omaha.
