[ Snoclnl to tlio UKK.J The followltiR 1ms bWn fur nished your correspondent svltli a dosiio for publication : In answer to the malicious , falsa and slan derous article written from Ku livlllo atralnst mo , 1 would say that nearly every word In tlio &atnt ) U utterly false or ( unrounded by and clothed In falsehood. True , II. A. Cham berlain , Kdwnrd McCochran. 0. U. Itlckby and two or thiee others mobbed mu by rals- Iiit' a mob of llfleon or twenty persons ami tllliin : them up on booro and leading them on me. Thf-e'mmi Imvc becii running Kush- \lllo for months , and at any time are ready to mob any otm who opposes them and their dark waj s. I hnvo been their most untiring and dreaded foe , and have been tlio means of frustrating many of their daikbchcmos. und as I would not let up , they MULT dually driven to desperation , were determined at all lia/anli to gut rid of mo. nnd hiding tinder the cover of contcstlnc claims , and KvttliiK about ten tnon from around town against mo because I had been employed a.s an attorney In contest suits , they made the msh for me , led by 11. A. Chambcilaln , banker , who Is a largo power ful man , and who grabbed mo in my ofllce before 1 know any thing as to what waH up. After they Lad mo in their power , they of couiso did as they pleased with me. ity friends of course did not expect such a tiling , and were not ready , but even then , had anyone ono taken the lead , plenty would liavo Joined to have routed the mob. As to the charges tlioy make they are en tirely false , and it will so appear In court on the trial of the suits I shall 'commence at onco. As to the Grubb contest they vtcro not true. Ho was holding two claims pre emption and homestead. I contested and got one , but this had nothing to do with the mob , because Mr. Giubb and 1 are on filoudly terms , nnd ho took no paitlu the mob , and could not bo gotten into one for all the laud In noithwustorn Ncbiasko. Ho Is n gentle man and of course did not , or doc.s not , blame mo for netting the claim as be could not hold It , and inasmuch as I. after gaining tlio suit at Washington , paid him $200 cash and Rave him my note for $50 duo in six mouths. As to him haing me employed to get his claim right , It Is talsc. Ho ncvor spoke tome mo on Hiii'h business as lib will swear , and ate to mo being taken in by him , all thnre is in that la when 1 hrst got there , ho was living on Ills homestead , and let mo have the use of his house on Ills pre-emption , In this ho treated me as ho would-tho rest of mankind. 1 remained In his house about four weeks , until 1 built my house and ofllce In town , ana It was because of this mainly that I made him tlio present of and have his receipt for the Si" > 0 and in which ho states that It was satisfactory. This iccelpt will DO used at the proper time. As to tlio other things men tioned , 1 will only say that I am an attorney and practicing my profes sion for what I can make , the same as many others who follow their busi ness. Hut In truth , and in fact , I always d6 my duty and net fair , and 1 challenge the Chamberlain and McJackson mob to point to uno Illfual act ot mine. As to leaving Ktmball , Dak. , I would say that their making the statement only shows how hard pressed they are. Two men here who IBQW me all the time I lived in Dakota liavo iiuuio afllda- vits that there is not a word of truth in it. Tho.se affidavits appear In both Hay Springs papers this week. There ate three men at Uushvillo who know mo long and well in Missoml , 1 have letters of endorse ment for register of the North western United. States land oflico fiom prominent men at my old homo In Mis souri. Ono from ex-Governor Silas Wood- son , General James Craig , an'exmember of congress ; Colonel , ) . N. Burner , member of cougit'ssialsolroin my old home district in , Missouri I Had a IctUsr from Colonel Humes' ' iOulylast weckj In which ho states ho has given mo the best endorsement in his power , and that he would see the secretary in a day or two tor me. These fellows knew this , and madb tlio assault on mo lust at this time , to try and disgrace mo , and thus defeat me in getting the position. Hero at honlo the mob has made me nianv friends and 1 am hero to btay. lint old Chamberlain , though ho has an Interest In a bank here at Hay Springs , Is not likely to come to It soon. Both of the leaders of the mob violated the law every day In selling whisky without license , and the other in usury. To show that the contesting claims1 had nothing to do with the mob. 1 wilt state that C50 of the people - plo of Itushvlllo and community signed a pe tition for mo for register of the United States land olllco only three months Hlnco , and then these same fellows mobbed old man Henry Wallace only two weeks before mo , and are at this writing thrcatenine many moro all who oppose them.

Rosoivdtoij'/M / Address. . { \ A f rr K6sewai6r sVidt Blbst' Wbr'hhipFul MastorTe'n'ow-'Cr8tsnien ; ; < - , - and Fellow Citizens : Thd' diflce bf'whlcb/ybu have just laid tlio foundation. ' rnarlts a very Important epoch in the commercial .an nuls , of the. citypi Omaha. . Its-comple tion will bo the consummation of a loug- choriahcd design a design to provide a chamber-of commerce for the merchants , the manufacturers and producers who desire to interchange their commodities and co-operate for the mutual welfareof themselves and of tlio city in which this building is located. The city of Omaha to-day is ono of the most prosperous nnd ono of the most progressive of cities in the United States. Twenty-five years ago It was a mere hamlet or village. Thirty-three years ago it was merely the habitation of Indiana. To-day it is a city of 75,000 population. What if will b'e twenty-Jive years houoe no man can foreshadow or portray. ' Suf fice it to say that this city perhaps of all others iu the United States has in tlie last year boon blessed with a growth and a commercial Increase which rivals any city known oh the records of timo. Wo have in the las't year added 337 mercan tile firms in the city of Omaha , and twonty-sovon of these are wholesale jobi bing houses. , We have , within the past five yeava not only doubled the popula tion ; , but almost thrilled it. We liavo within this city to-day 'a Jobbmgtra'do that hus : more thai ) quiptuplod what it was ten years ago. Ton ye'ars ago the entire jobbing tnide' of Omaha waa Icss.tlwu eight millions. To-day it la very nearly forty millions , and in com parison with active cities , when wo take foi instance , the most vital portion of , coinmorco , the banking business , the handling of the monies with which com- morco.is controlled wo Und that Oma ha's clearings rank her fourteen among thirty-one loading cities of the United States. She has clearings greater within' tlio past year than nix of the largcs't cities in this country. Three of them , Milwau kee , Cleveland uurt Detroit , are more than double her population , and two of them , St. Paul anil Minno.inolis , have at least thirty to torty thousand more population. This is certainly an index to prosperity and growth , which is reliable for everybody , and the chamber of commerce which you are about to erect hero , will undoubtedly do very much to increase and multiply tlio tratlic witli which Omaha has Uoen blessed. And now I will mention u few of the i in port tint indiwtrirmlmt we have estab lished hero , which . .you are destined in this building to nourish. ) Wo have In the past two years established a live itoclc market which , it is conceded , will some day become the second largest in the United States. WeYJsfo completed a contract on this very day with u firm of Scotland that has wouty-fSYir places in the cities of LtvropB where they do their direct trafllo in the American hog product. Wolwill 'have ' , before the snow ilies , capacityjt/orl 40.000 hogs per week , and there is no doubt that 10.000 at least , per day , wiUihislslaughtorcdhoro during next winter. .That alone will give a vast amount of jr&Hio , not only to Omaha , but it will crntdtico to the benefit of the entire state dt'Acbraska. ' For Ne braska is a corn srjiti < und us the wor shipful master has noured corn upon this stone , so corn will How1 into live stock and come right hero to the city to be bar tered in the chamber of commerce that you are about to erect. There was a time when Omaha was laughed at , feneore'd at and rjdiciilcd , ami I will tirst recite a little poem that that eminent satirist John ( } . Saxo wrote about 25 years ago : * Hast ever been to Omaha Where rolls the dark Missouri down , Where four large hor&es scaico can drasv An empty ycagou thro' the town ? Where sand Is blown from every mound To 111 ! your eyes and cars and throat , Where all the steamers are aground . And all the shaiitles are ntloat ?

Ai\d \ Ithink the city of Omaha .may woll.bo proud of thn work that the 'industry , 'that the perseverance and that the" enterprise of tlio capitalists and mur- chauts of Omaha have shown in building 'tip a city.

I trust that soonpror later the predictions of Captain Yta/.ie'ra gentluman who wrote tho. history of Omaha incidentally with probably thirty or forty other American cities , will como to bo fulfilled. Ho visited Omaha in 1870 and wrote it in a book descriptive of American cities as follows : "Situated midway on the Ameri can , continent , the most prominent point on the great road which clasps the con tinents and unites the Atlantic with the Pacific , a ft lie same time the terminus for lessor roads which open up to it the trade and commerce of the interior , on the borders of two states , rich in agricultural wealth { seated by a thrifty , intelligent and enterprising people , Omaha can scaiTely fail to become the greatest qity west of St. Louis. Founded a gener ation ago , its business is already stupendous deus , the it is really but A beginning what it promises to be in the future. As Ipwa , Nob'nwka , and the status and ter ritories still farther to the northwest be come more thickly settled and their re sources develop , it will form their natural commercial centre to which they will look , for , supplies and whore they will n'h'd- market or a port for' their pro- dupts and .manufactures. With such an outlook who well dare to limit Omaha's possibilities in the future , or say any flhjht of fan.cy or imagination really exceed > nhit'tjio. ( actuality may "p'rovo. " ' T'colilit iiot express this any butter- probably not.as well n I liau tried , or tried even to compose the sentence : but I believe firmly that this is to bo one of the largest cities in America , and "Nebraska will-profit by the growth and by the en terprise 6f Us population. _ SccncR. the close of the services at the site of the proposed chamber of commerce , the participants in the ceremony withdrew In' marching order , the Masons to their hall and the. board of trade to their pres ent rooms in the Exposition building. At the board of trade rooms a vote ; of thanks was tendered to Mr. llosowator for his able address and to the city council for their attendance upon the services in a body.

' The * Omaha' bdiird of trade was or ganised on March 13 , 1877 , with a mom- b'crsfiip of nearly ono hundred. Its first president was liejlon. A. J. Poppleton , and Mr. Janics E. Boyd vice president. It was formed for the purpose of pro- lUotirijj'tUo "commercial , manufacturing anil general interests of the city of onuvliV-'W-orthyobjoets ! that have always Uiion'kjSp't inWiow ( by the board , and ani- muindjtljQm 'in their efforts. It was irtrely-a commercial , financial and busi- ifjss organi/J-tiou. With the origin of this body the business interests of the city were for..tho first lime represented by au organiiatipn which combined the in- dmpcnsiblc and essential elements of sue cess. , The „ first meeting of the board was held in the Wdolworth bo9k { on Douglas street. The place' bf mc'oting has been changed from year to year , untiln6wa permanent place of abode for the body Is well under way. Upon the roorgani/.ation of the board in 1885 , with Max * Meyer as president , the movement for , , the erection of u suitable building was/started'with the result that will soon bo shaped into a satisfactory consummation of tl p ambition of the enterprising ' terprising cituons w'ho compose the or- ganuiutioii , The board is now composed of men who constitute within themselves tliO'most ' onergotln. enterprising and in dustrious citizens of Omaha. The board's ' membership now numbers IfiO of thn rep resentative citizens , oflicarcd as follows : Max -Moyer , president ; C. F. Goodman , first vice president ; II. ( > . Clnik , second vice presidcnti J , A. Wakelield , treasu rer ; G. M , attingor , secretary. The Proposed Building. 'The now chamber of commerce , the laying of the corner ? tone of which was celebrated last opening , will be erected on the corner of Farnham and Sixteenth stroeta.

All of the rooms will bo well lighted and supplied with vaults. Toilet rooms will bo provided for ouch lloor. The basement , which is to bo really the first story , will bo fitted up with oflico rooms similar to those of Ilia upper tloor. The heating apparatus will bo placed tinder dor the sidewalk on the Sixteenth street side of the building. The structure will bo erected at a cost of $80,000 , and will bo probably tlio handsomest building In the city. _ UY A OAvvQ tlANIC A Laborer Bnrlml Allvo In a South OmnhA Smut Hank , Late yesterday evening a sand bankin south Omaha in which a number of men were at work , caved in without a min ute's ' notice , catching ono of the work men and burying him beneath the fall ing mass of earth. Several of the work men narrowly escaped bolng caught in the fall. Thn fortunate ones at once set to worn to reseuo their unfor tunate companion. When rescued the man was found to be In a lifeless condi tion. Ho was removed and the coroner notified of the accident. The remains wcro brought to the coroner's olllco where the inquest will bo held this morning. The dead man's name is Grunnomoyor , and further than this but'bttlo is known. Ho had only been employed at the place a few days , and his fellow laborers know nothing of his homo or connections. SILVER BISIjti9. The Celebration of Judge nml Ads. Jlundy'fl Silver Wedding. Twenty-nine years have elapsed since Elmer S. Uundy settled in the immediate vicinity of Falls City , Richardson county , in this state. He was then a young man an d had practiced but live years in the profession of the law. Ho had como from Ohio , and four years later a young lady , Miss Mary H. Robinson , arrived in the state from the same eastern homo. The same year witnessed the marriairo of the youthful Dinuly and the lady from his old state. That wasaquartcrof a cen tury ago. There was a simplicity in the marriaires of tlioso primeval days which was eminently in accord with the sur roundings and the necessities of the contracting ' tracting parties' . The nuptials of young Dimciy wcro not an exception to the rule. The marriage over , the wedded couple repaired to Richardson county , and there , for nearly twenty-four years continued to lead a martial lifo which has been little less than that of which idealists fondly dream. In the meantime honors had been meted out to Mr. Dundy. He had served os represent ative in the legislature , acted as territo rial judge , and boon finally raised to the position of judge of the district court of the United States. The last two years of his life , as also that of his family have been spent in Omaha , in a palatial residence on West Lcavenwqrth , in which the comiortH which.oivilizu.tion may afford are ij'ijoycd as the reward of an earuost and success ful career. It was from this residence , last even ing , that every window modestly told of of illumined parlors and apartments within which weroentottained the guests who had assembled to congratulate Judge and Mrs. Dundy upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage The con gratulations were varied , numerous and heartfelt. They were received by thn host and hostess with modest gratitude and were secretly appreciated because of the known sincerity of the people by whom they were extended. The beautiful residence was at the dis posal of the guests. The parlors were beautifully dec orated with flowers , from which a grateful fragrance ascended and por- vauod tlio apartments. In the main par lors tie | young folks enjoyed the dance to the music of the Musical Union orches tra , while another branch of the latter or ganization , on tin1 upper lloor , discoursed sweet and familiar airs. Refreshments wore served with delicacy and taste , and social converse and promenade served to fill up the intervals : At 11 o'clock , with many adieux and good wishes , Iheguosts took their leave. Many of thum were from abroad , Nebraska City , Falls City , Lincoln and other points , a special car coming from the Jast place with admir ing friends. Many handsome souvenirs of the event were presented , prominent among which were a set of the latest American Encyclopedia , by borne un known Lincoln friend , and a silver boll "with u cow attached , " by J. I. Rcdick. Thn Grand I odgo. The sessions of. the grand lodge of Nebraska - braska Masons wore continued yester day.
