Interviewed.
A reprcscntave of the Hr.i : interviewed
eonio of the loading business men of Iho
city yesterday on the subjectof the pro
posed road from Omaha lo the north
west , the svhcmo of which was submit
ted to the railroad comtnitteo of the
board of trade Tuesday night. The expres
sions which were short and to the point ,
tire submitted below.
J. II. Millar.am ! decidedly in
favor of n road from Omaha to the north
went. 1 thlnkif possible the road should
"be bnlll by Cmalia and Douglas county
capital , in preference to being consliuo-
ted by any ontaldn road , the Northwest
ern , theH. . & M. or the Reek Island. Yes ,
1 think with extra e-llbrt this can bo ac
complished. "
K. C. Htono : "Such a road as that
contemplated would be a grand thing for
the jobbing trade of this town. It is just
what wo want. There has been so much
talk about the scheme of building this
roud to the northwest tnat it is to bo
honed that something will be done. "
H. W. Yatcs : "That road to the north
west. . Is ju t what the city nee s and must
liavo. According to my notion , it should
bo built to the far norInvest ) , and not bo
ft little Htub road northwur.l. It .SCCIUR lo
) ne that it ought to take soniethinjr of the
Maine licnd as the Siou\ City & Paeilie ,
ho as to carry oft" the trade
which that ro-id is trying lo monoi > ol/.e. !
Thus , Ihe Sioux City and Pacilio
road could bo forced to recognize
Omaha and to make fair rates for our
trade. It seems to me that it would be a
good plan lo utili/.e the I'liion Pacilio lor
a. distance of tW miles , and then build a
northwestern branch from that road. "
( jco. Canlicld , "Thu slock business of
Omaha would receive an enormous boom
if thd load were built to tan the north
western country. Il s a good scheme and
should be pushed. "
S. A. Orchard. "Tho proposed road
to tlio northwest ought to prove a grand
thing for Omaha. I am in favor of the
eclieine proposed hi t night , and think it
will boom the jobbing trade of Omaha
immense ] } . "
W.I1..H. llnghea1 haven't exam
ined this new scheme very closely , but
from all I can gather it is tlio very'tning
that Omaha has been needing for a good
many years. What we want is not a
nhort road , but a long line to the north
west , probably up the Klkhorn valley.
Jtls to be hoped that the scheme will be
pushedthat it projectors will not make a
fitart , and then allow their enlhusia'-m to
cool down. Omaha wan Is to strike
while the iron is hot.1
W. 11 .Mc-v'oid : "There can bo no
doubt but that { his road is just what the
jobbing trade of this city needs. It seems
to mo tnat it would bo a gooil thing , if
possible , to hay j the road constructed
with home capit il rather than by any by
outside roads MI : h as the Northwestern
or IhoB.iVtM. , vv ich are always striving
fertile 'long haul' . "
Othur business men expressed similar
opinions , every one agreeing that the
road'miist ' bo c-instructed , and Ihat at
onco. ' The plan n ? outlined by Mr. Me-
( Shane before the board of trade commit
tee Tuesday appeared lo meet with gen
eral favor. The feeling prevailed
hininiiyiinarternth.it Omaha capitalists
could and would support the bclicmc to
almost any reasonable extent.
In a talk with John A. McShane last
evening a reporter asked if there were
any now developments in regard to the
Omaha & North ; ni.
"V-od. ' " said that gentleman , "I learned
something new about it just a few min-
iileH'iigo. ' When I read the Hr.i' I found
that J was representing the Missouri
Pacilie. "
"Is not Ihat u fact ? " asked the re
porter.
"Not if T know anything about il , " re
plied Mr. MeShane. "It was a surprise
to me to see the statement made. I do
not wo how anyone could have made
Bueh an assertion. "
"And j-tft such is reported to bo the
fact , " replied the newspaper man.
"Well' , jt is certainly a mistake. I do
not represent the Missouri Pticitio in Ihe
mailer or any oilier road. In fact ,
1 would not have anything to
do will ; the plan if it waste
to bo carried out by the Missouri Pacilie.
In order to reap the bum-lit which she
should , Omaha must build the road.
Foreign capitalists would not conduct
Iho road in a satisfactory manner. What
J want , and what we all want , is Omaha
jnon ami money to carry the project
through. Ami that is what is going tel
l > o done , With the f units asked for from
the cily and county , the road will bo
built , and built by men whose interests
are heni. Then , and not till then , will
the business men of this city have justice
done them. "

The members of Iho Omaha Gun club
liavo returned from their annual hunt ,
loaded , of course , with game. The load ,
however , in not as heavy as might be
washed , the bad weather of Tuesday
making hunting slow and disagreeable.

" 10 , THU POOR INDIAN. "
All Inlervlew With Col , Gardner , tlio
Indian Inspector.
Col. U. S. Gardner , United States In
dian inspector , passed through the city
yesterday bound westward. He was mctat
the Millard hoti'l by a reporter for the
HBI : , and as gracefully as ever yielded to
an interview. Since ho passed through
Omaha last Juno ho has visited all the
Indians in Michigan , Wisconsin , Minnesota
seta , Iowa , Dakota and Nebraska.
In Nebraska ho made inspections of the
Santeo. Omaha and Winnebago tribes ,
whom ho tound tranquil and devoted tc
the arts of peace. Ho compliments Su
perintendent Chase of the Genoa school
upon thu intelligence and ellicicncy of
his work. Throughout Nebraska , ho
says , the Indians are all doing well.
Ill Iowa , ho called upon tlieiMu-quagie.i
or Foxes , who live , not on a reservation ,
but upon a tract ol land IIJK ) acres in ex
tent , which they thcm elve.s purchased
near Tama. These redskins are all
peaceable , honest people , but shiftless
and non-piovidont to an alarming de
gree. Tiiey manage , howev r , to main
tain the whole ; tf ; of their number upon
the cash annuity of $ . ' 0,000 which they
received from the government , affording
each man a little nfore than $ .V ) per year.
In Minnesota , the great tribe ot the
Chippewas dwell. It consists ol many
sub el i"-ilications , Mich sis the Mis .ippis ,
the Peinhnnos , the Otter Tails , the Lcch
Lakes and Red Lakes. They are ah good
Indians and arc progressing finely.
in Michigan , the Indii.-ns live chieily
on the northern peninsula , and comprise
the Ottawas , Pottawattamics , and
branchcii of the Chippewas. These are
also well behaved.
Wisconsin has the Mcnominies , Oneidas
and Sutckbridgcs. Of these , all of
whom are quiet and peaceful , the
Oneidas are almost civilized.
The Sioux in all the different families
of that great tribe have possession of
Dakota. Of these , those living about
Devil's lake are wonderfully enterprising
fellows. They have agricultural machin
ery in all iLs perfected forms , and in this
year have harvested CO.OJO bushels of
wheat.
Col.Gardner has been Indian inspector
for the past seven years and during that
time has visited every agency and reser
vation in the union. He thinks that in
scholastic education the k j note of the
civilisation of the Indian has been
struck. When asked as to whither ho
was bound hence , lie replied , in his usual
laconic style , "On the cais. "
The Police Troubles.
Marshal Cummings' countenance wore
its usual look of placid good-nature yes
terday , as tie entered the police court
room. "Yes. " he said in reply to the
salutation of the reporter for the Hr.i : ,
"my head is still on mv shoulders , and it
will stay there tor another week at lean. "
"What do yon think of the rumors of
of these plots which have been laid to
oust.you y"
"Of course , there is no doubt but that
there has been such scheming going on.
During my career as marshal 1 bavo
made many enemies as every nuui who
performs his duty is bound to do. When
you say that 1 and Capt. Sullivan IIKAC
th'e enemiesyou ought to mention who
they are the saloon men and lower'
clashes against whom 1 have
enforced the law. Thcso are
men who are plotting against Sullivan
and my-'elf. 1 ttm not at all ashamed of
il , either. In fact 1 hail rather have it
that Wii.v than to have il understood that
I was thick with these men , for the people
ple would be led to believe that I was not
doing mv duty.
Captain Sullivan said that he thought
tlie people ought to know ju-l what
classes of men were responsible for this
scheming. "In taking en irgo of the po
lice forces a year ago , " he said , " 1 en
tered upon my duties with some misgiv
ings. I emphatically told the marshal
that I did not want this place. Since
that time I have tried to do my duty ,
and in endeavoring to bring the polieo
force up to the highest .standard of
elliciency. 1 have been compelled to do
some tilings , which have made mo
enemies. INo man can do his honest duty
and avoid that. Tlm men who are work'-
ing against us are those whom wo have
compelled to obey the laws the saloon
men , gamblers , and the like. No other
- - are interested in the removal of
either Marshal Ciinimings or uiv-elf. , It
is not fair to p.iy that wo have enemies ,
without mentioning the clash of people
to which tlio ° o enemies belong. "
Seteral members of the city council
who were questioned about tin-matter ,
said that tlu-\ did not iimpo'-e to vote for
the niMingof Mar-hal ( uminings , and
though they had heard rumors uf ; m im
pending plot to that end , could s.iy
nothing delinito about it. The general
expression among them seemed to bu
that the present polio- regime WIK ; .111
honest one and a capable one that Mar
shal Ciimmings and Captain Sullivan
were perlorniing their duties faithfully
and well. The publication of thc'clieuio
in 1. st night's lihi : has aroused a good
deal of leeling in favor of the marnh.ii
and the capt.iln anil before the decapita
tion Ukes place there will bealhcly

A Trembling Wretch.
"Hans Hojsen i.s In again , " were , the
words which greeted a reporter's ear as
In1 entered police headquarters last night.
They were only too true , and as the re
porter gazed on the form of the trembling
wretch a feeling of pity Involuntarily
caused a sigh to escape his lips.
And Hans had reason to tremble. When
ho was apprehended the last time Judge
Stenberg sentenced Mini to thirty dajs on
bread and water , and in his most l < rriblo
voice informed the .culprit that if he did
not leave the c'it.1 when his time expired
he would be compelled to jump into the
Missouri and cither swim out of the state
or drown. That was oine two months
ago , and since hisreh a o from the county
jail Haus has Meercd clear of the police.
Hut last night Officer Bloom found him
in Ills old haunts and placed him under
arrest. Hans has already sen ed thirteen
terms in the county jail us a vagrant , anil
has alw ays come out of them friskier and
Ik-shier than when In- went in. He has
not done a stroke of work in two years
but has succeeded in making hi- living
off the county. He was dreadfully afraid
that Judge Stenberg would execute his
threat , and as he has not bathed in two
.years , lie feared that tlio propo-ed contact
with the Missouri would pro\e fatal.

An Incident anil Coincidence.
Several evenings ago , in Chicago , as
General Prenl'iM was delivering the lec
ture on the panorama of the great battle
of Shiloh , ho pointed to the neigborliood
of the lo church , and spol.e of the
stubborn mind to hand conflict which
then took place , in which nearly all Iho
gunmTrt ol battery II of the Fifth regi
ment aitillery were killed and two Na
poleons were captured by the confeder
ates and retaken b. > our troops three dif
ferent times. Then pointing to a fallen
treu , hn called attention to a surgeon
who was a-sisting a wounded soldier ,
when General Mann spoke up anil e-aid ,
'Yes , and we have that surgeon with us
in the audience to-night in tlio person of
General J. Kd Smith of Omaha. " At the
call of the audience General Smith very
modestly arose in acknowledgment of
the call.

The pccrlc s Kate Castleton will be the
attraelion at Hoyd's next Friday unit
Saturday evenings. Concerning her
performances the San Francisco Report
has the following to say :
"Kate Castleton has a great many ad
mirers in tills city , as also has A. C.
Gtinter. Consequently when the former
presented the hitter's play at the Stand
ard theater last night the seats wi-te all
occupied. The play is1 a broad burlesque
turning on Iho pranks "f a lunatic who
escapes from Napa. and makes his way
into a private family.
Kale Castleton was as popular as ever ,
and seems to have greatly improved in
her acting without the los-s of any of her
old-time siirjirbtliuocs. She was well
supported by her company , and without
doubt will be well supported by the pub-
lie. "
