'On ' Monday a sheriffs possa in Kownn county attempted lo arrest u fam ily of desperadoes , and as generally hap pens in that neck o' woods , the minions of the law were "done up" most thor oughly.

Them was nn evident dcslfo on llift part of tiicr only two London papers which made editorial comment tjpon UiC discourse of Mr. Bccchcr last Sunday lo tn-at the celebrated preacher with court- e y nnd generosity. But it la equally evident that thn peculiar pulpit methods of Jlr. Becchor arc not altogether con genial to Knglish education and taste In such matters. The humor with which the ! > i'OGh.Vi ! ! preacher is wont to spice his ficrmons , both for his own rolicf und Ihat of his auditors , and Iho Hashes of lority which ho employs with consummate skill to bring out more impressively nnd in bolder relief the serious aspects of his subject , could not do otherwise than strike the Knglish churchman , disci plined to the procrnstcan rule of high church coiivoiitlojialism , as irreverent. Ono can understand that it is a some what startling innovation to a people trained as the English people are , for a minister of the gospel , on the Sabbath day , to periodically desert the solemn nnd serious thread of his discourse , and by a sudden sally of wit or the interpola tion of a funny story , set the house in a , roar. There . are a great many devout church people on tliissido the ocean who do not regard this practice of Mr. Bcechcr with favor , and It cannot bo doubted that with an inferior man it would bo thought utterly intolerable. But in the hands of the Brooklyn preacher these ( liversons , which if practised by almost tiny other man would bo con demned H meretricious , nro made po tent instrumentalities for giving force nml iinprc3slvenc3s to the serious matter of his subjects which he desires shall take firm root and bccouio a permanent growth in the minds and hearts of his hearers. It is one of the richest of Mr. Becchcr's ' wealth of mental endowments that he has always nt command the means to take himself and his audlonco out of the shadow into the sunshine , and ho does this always with a masterful porcep- of the exigency that easily attests him the lirst of pulpit orators and the fore most of popular preachers. It is not doubtful that his English audiences will accord him this distinction , whatever they may think of his peculiar views and doctrines. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ American Actors Abronil. It is a genuine pleasure to read the en thusiastic criticisms of the London press teeming with praise of Augustin Daly's company of American actors. There is not a word of dissent in all the notices from the dictum of the JfY ics that all Europe outside of the Theatre Francaise cannot produce so well an organized com pany whore individual eflbrt is steadily subordinated to the general cfl'ect. "A Night OfT , " which was seen and appre ciated in Omaha as played by tlio origi nal company a year ago and again last fa'l by a different cast has taken the London theatrical world by storm. On Saturday it was temporarily succeeded by old English comedy , n daring experiment in the Gaiety theater where so many British comedians have interpreted Goldsmith and Sheridan to fashionable audiences. The success was instantaneous. The leading English dramatic critic of the dramatic press pronounced the company comedians of the lirst order and con cluded by saying : "The performances of Mr. Daly's dom any arc marked by an artistic finish , a completeness and a well balanced uniformity of which we cannot sco too much and from which wo have unquestionably something to learn. " In Berlin an American Mikado company is winning golden laurels singing Sullivan's comic opera to crowded houses under the patronage of the Princess Victoria ot Prussia. Dixoy , with his "Adonis , " has linally broken down adverse criti cism in the English capital. Minnie Palmer has won fame and fortune on the same boards. Facts like these must sound strangely in the cars of the Anglo- maniacs of the cast who ape foreign cus toms and applaud fourth rate foreign actors because it is fashionable to decry their own country and.to sneer at their own countrymen. Keep Cool. The heated term is upon us and most of our subscribers are struggling- hard to resist the effects of the weather. How to keep cool is the problem which ull are trying to solve , A good basis for subse quent operations is frequent bathing. Cold water and plenty of it externally applied is almost indispensable in warm weather. The overworked pores must bo cleared of all obstructions und kept open for the free passage of perspiration. The bath is the great remedy of eastern - orn nations for neat. A good sponge bath morning and evening , upon rising and retiring , will bo found an effective ratm'nTof helpfng to ward off the worst results of hot weather. Care in food nnd dieting cannot bo too strongly urged. Hearty and heating food should bo avoided as much as pos sible. Light llannels worn next the skin will bo found greatly preferable to heavy starched goods of cither linen or cotton. Liquors or wines , whether Iced or diluted with water , should bo avoided as In creasing calorie. The best drink ot all for worklngmcn in hot weather is cold water and oat meal. This is a mixture which has been used for years by stokers in the holds of our ocean steamers nnd foundryuion in great furnaces of the iron regions of Pennsylvania. The addition of the oat meal counteracts to n great extent the bad effects of the ice and gives nourishment which enables the system to upset tne weakening action of profuse perspiration. Finally to keep n cool body , sco to it that the head is kept cool. Worrying and fretting about the heat will not hola matters. To keep cool , "keep cool. " Tlio lluslncas Blluittlou. The signillcant features of the busi ness outlooK are the decreasing number of failures in commercial circles and the growing confidence of traders In the outlook , There is increased speculative activity in cotton , grain and hog pro ducts , all of which show some advance from recent prices , but in mo.it of thu distributing markets the tendency has been to quieter trading oil account of the advancing season , In some Hues mer chants have been busy with stock inven tories und account settlements , which have claimed attention to the exclusion of now business , but in several depart ments the movement shows fairly sustained activity for the time of year , The distribution of merchandise is still rather above the usual avorairo volume for the midsummer period , Thu general distribution of dry goods has boon cheeked a litllo by the diversion of trade alUmtlon io scnil-aunnal fljook la- vontortw i'hit | the market oa n whole | s In excellent shape , uifl ( lie prQjne.cts are favoi'flblo for n prospeTo fall * sca tyi , Wool Is strong and active at aWpjgintSi with prices relatively higher in tliewtgt than on the seaboard. This disparity Hi selling values checks shipments to east ern countrins , and business is frequently restricted by Insufllciont supplies , but there is a good demand , and a strong and confident feeling chnrnclorj/.cs the mar- ket. Produce prices nro lifluly unstained on a rising juarkot. The rise in wheat is duo chlolly to spoculr.tivo buying , on- rourngcd by unfavorable crop reports and n desire on the part of timid shorts to cover their outstanding contracts. There has been very little now buying for export , but statistical position and the out look for legitimate demand arc much more favorable , and the boars have boon oper ating with more caution. Present indi cations do D not favor the expectation of a largo and early crop movement , on the supposed prospect of which much of the recent wind-selling at low prices was based. While there are no ollicial figures available to indicate the condition of the crop since thn last government estimate was made , the drift of Iho published accounts from various sections has been less favorable , and popular estimates of tlio probable outturn , particularly of spring wheat , are somewhat reduced. The cable brings in telligence that the Russian crop has been seriously injured by drought , and that the India crop , with a smaller acreage , is showing only 75 per cent of a full average condition. The acreage of wheat In England jji smaller , tnid" the crop is bovcral weeks late and has boon damaged by wet weather. In view of those reports farmers as well as speculators are show ing increased reluctance to sell wheat at ruling prices. Jumping , lnckn. We are not disposed to inllict upon our people a bitter and vindictive controversy over the Fort Omaha bill , such as Senator Mandorson's would-be champions are trying lo provoke.Vo \ do not propose to bandy words about the personal in sults heaped upon us for daring to ques tion the infallibility of our home senator. Vro do , however , resent the assault which Mr. Mandorson's special organ makes upon the board of trade in calling them a ' ' " who have meddled sot of 'jumping jacks , dled with something which tlio people of Omaha had not authorized thorn to touch. For sublime insolence this cer- lainlycaps the climax. Tno board of trade is made tip of representative business men. Their right to discuss , approve or condemn any measure affecting the in terests of Omaha is unquestioned , They do not derive their powers nnd privileges second-hand , like a member of congress or delegate to a convention , but they arc a sovereign body within themselves , responsible only to itself. Now , what occasion is tluiro for calling the board "jumping-jncks ? " Its action was not a star-chamber proceeding and the resolu tions adopted were temperate and con servative. There were over fifty members of the board present and the debate was not conducted under gag rulesas , may bo soon from the report of its proceedjngs which wo herewith reproduce exactly as it appeared in our issue of Juno 23 : Mr. Ifasewglor said that the board of trade ougnc " 0 lake.an . in terest in a question wliich affected the city and which was now pending in congress. It was that refer ring to'the re-location of Fort Omaha. If any members present had any reasons to advance why the removal contem plated should cake place , ho should like to hear them. If not , he would like to have the lower house of congress in formed of the fact and to take no action on the pending bill until it could learn what were the feelings of tlio people upon the subject. Mr. Her said he had hoard that the rea son advanced for the removal of the fort was that thorn was not sufficient ground to be had ut thu present silo for the ac commodation of the fort. Mr. Rosewater said ho had boon in formed that General Crook did not favor the removal , and yesterday Colonel Henry , in charge of the rillo practice at Bollovuc , Haid the troops , were getting along nicely as they woro. Mr. Kpuntzo had also informed him that sufficient ground near the present fort could be offered to the government if they wanted to buy. To make the change now would bo injurious to tlio people who had given the lands to tho'goycrnment to have them , now beautiful with drives and shade trcestorn up and destroyed , Tlio govern ment would not spend one-half as much money in buying the additional ground required by the troops as It would in getting a new place and erecting new buildings. The board ought to pass n resolution , asking congress to take no . now come iniiurifierthodny to the city and make purchases. At night they attend church and the theater , They could not do this if they were put ton miles out in the country , unless suburban trains wcro put on for their accommodation , and they are not numerous enough to war rant those being put on any ot the roads , The Bolt line was already near the fort and $10,000 would give them a line to their doors. Besides , they had beautiful drives leading there , and every stranger who took t ride here always went out in that direction and enjoyed the sight of the water works and the beautiful roads. Ho did not think it was advis able to tear up and destroy all tiose | be cause of some person who wanted to sell a farm. In response 19 a question , Mr. II. T. Clark said that with regard to the Bellevue - vue range , both the owners and the sol diers wcro happvand satisllcd with every thing , Ho further remarked that the site of the present fort reverted to the donors when it should bo abandoned for military purposes , This opinion was controverted by Messrs , Her and Hullman , both of whgui had given a partTot this land , That hud been the original understanding , but it was changed when tiie government built its last permanent buildings on * the grounds. Mr , Hitchcock said tiiat the objections made to the present Kite were inadequacy for rillo practice , inability to accommo date a twelve company post , insulUeleney of ground to admit of artillery drill. The board should bo interested in favor of Omaha , ; \ul \ ) consequently should commit itself against tlio bill. Mr. Rosewater then introduced the fol lowing resolution : Resolved , by tlieJOnmha Board of Trnilo. that we rugnnl lha relocation of Fort Omulm a * detrimeiiU.il to thu Interests or tin ; city nna of no irmterlal benclU to thu United States cavern mcnr.

That wo remonstrate ntniiist tlio passage of the hill recently passixl by the senate , uud respectfully leanest tlio housa committee on the military atlalrs to withhold action until our citl/.ons nave time lo present s to thu proposed change. , Tlmt the president and secretary forwnnl a copy of these lOsoltitioiis to Gen eral Bragg and our representatives' In con gress. The resolutions were uunuimou&ly ndopted. Will Mr. Mnndurjon's "jumping jack- " "who delights In flinging mud when ho Is short of lilo'as , point out ono single word in tn'b debate or In the resolutions to which any unbiased man could take- ' ' exception * OK course oilr police force is iilndo- q Mn. No ono pretends to doilV the fact. "With the mimbrrlo 9 additions to the city now plnlled.Omaha , has an area , on paper , grealei than Manhattan Island. She covers niqro ground than Chicago , and pushes Brooklyn very closely , \yhicli has all Long Island nt its back. If Ihe present police force is ex pected to cover thri whole city 51 must distribute itself at the tatlo of ono man to live miles of territory. The policeman wljo can hsi''llc suclHj job and cover the ground does not live. The trouble is , not that our police are Incap able , but that they are called upon to perform impossibilities. The respon sibility for the condition of alfaiis rests entirely with the wretchedly inadequate revenue raised by taxation. Xo material increase can bp made in the police force until we have a very material increase in our city assessments. It is useless to talk of appropriating from the general fund. On the levy made , our general fund will bo quite Inadequate tor the ordinary ex penses , including needed grading" nnd improvements , for which latter there will remain in the fund , after paying sal aries , olc. , less than $20,000 available for the coming year. To increase the police by tupping the general fund would bo manifestly unwise. GLAUSTONB continues to fall slightly behind in lliy.

The average congressman goes upon the theory that If ho guts In his vote all rltfht on two or three demagogic bills ho is entirely safe in dolnc pretty much as he pleases on other mailers , and It must be confessed that his theory is generally a safe one.

An Hnsy lesson In Sclpnt-o Ftoiu ft Series or Rxhlblts In tilt ? National Museum The Unsts niul Bollils of iho lioily. OWashington Star : It depends , of course , on how one looks nt n innii. Thai was the rollectibit of n Stnr reporter ni he stood bcforo o eas * forming u part of the exhibits in the sections of foods ul the National museum. The contents of the case showed ono what n 1" > 1 pound mim ppuoarsJIko froin tlio chemist's point of view In olhTsr words , n suppositions man five feet eight inches Iiiffli , weighing 154 pounds , had been passed through fhor chemist's laboratory and divided nml subdivided into his ultimate elements. There stood all these elements and chem ical compounds in glass jars , properly labeled. Hence , as this important ele ment Is lacking , it would be dilllcull , so the chemist admitted to the Star reporter reporter , to make a man that would anvHinl to anything , out of the contents of these jars. Tlio case of cxhibts forms a part of n series being prepared under the direction of Mr. Itotuyn Hitchcock , curator of the suction , nnd which , when complete , will illustrate not only thu chemical composition ot the human body , but tlio dally income and expendi ture of tlio body , based upon the results of analyses made by Professor W. O. Atwator. The storyjjor jijcanh.ig of. the. cxhibjts. Is told § o iViamlv uy tlin dlu'orenl sizes of the jars and the craphie and explicit statements of the labels thai it can be easily understood , even by one who knows little of chemistry. The lirst scries of exhibits represents the thirteen ele ments which a large label informs you enter into the chemical compounds of which our bodies are made. Five of these are gases and eightsolidsubstanees. The oxygen is shown in a jar with a label which states that the weight ot oxygen in a man weighing 151 pounds is 07 pounds. This jar , whieh woulu hold about a gallon , represents only one-ten- thousandth part of "tho oxygen of a man of that : weight. . If the 1)7 ) pounds of oxy gen worn set free from the body , it would lill a space of 1,01)0 ) cubic feet. The oxy gen is tiio great supporter of combustion in the system. The next jur represents the 15 jioun Js of hydrogen going to make up the 151-pound man. ' 1 Ids amount of hydrogen set free would lill 2,750 cubic feet , and tlio jar represents only one- ten-thousandth of the whole system. An other jar or bottle , having a capacity of a little over a quart , represents the ! 5 pounds and 1" ounces of nitrogen found in the imaginary man. This nitrogen , if free , would lill18. . ! ! cubio feet. Another email bottle contains , combined with cal cium , tlio JJ.5 ounces of Jliiorinc. and another jar contains one-tenth of the ; 4 ounces of chlorine to be found in the man. Chlorine is ono of the consti tuents of bleaching powder. After the jar of chlorine was put in the case the stopper was blown out and the gas bleached all the tinted labels in the case. Thus the elements of the human body arc hhown to comprise live gases existing in such quantities as , if they were bet free , would lill a space of about -1,000 cubic feet , which it paid for at the rate of $1.75 a thousand at tlio usual discount for promptness , would amount to $0. If the gases of a 151-pound man began to expand and expanded to their utmost , the man would iill a largo room or hall. The hall of representatives , commodious as it is. could hold only a few men in u gas eous state. The next series.cj jaj-s or exhibits rep resent the solids of the body. First there is the carbon , represented by a solid cube of charcoal weighing thirty-one pounds. If a man hud to take his carbon out and carry it round , in a basket nil day ho woul bo pretty tired at night. Yet every man , millionaire or tramp , is weighted down with a load of carbon which if coined into diamonds would enable him to rival the spenders of Monte Clirlsto. Then the 10-1-pound man yielded one pound nnd twelve ounces of phosphorus and ! J.f ounces of sulphur. After the gases the carbon , the phosphorus and sulphur have been extracted irom the man there is nothing loft of him but metals. It is doubtful whether metala exist in the human body In sue.h paying quantities as to oner inducements to mining com- pamcH , still ono would bo surprised to look into this case and sco how much n man is weighted down with various metallic substances. First there Is iron , of which the average man described carries one-tenth of an ounce in his system. This quantity is shown in tlio exhibit in the form of iron wire. The melal with which the body is most abun dantly provided is calcium , the basis of limo , of which the man supposed to have been resolved into his chemical constitu ents yielded 3 pounds and 13 ounces. This is a. jollowisli metal , and the amount obtained is shown in a cube about 2 inches high. A Jitllo blooJc of "mag- UPjium , a Mlvf-ry-hited metal , weighing 1.8 ounces , and then 3.8 ounceof / * potus- .sium were taken from the man , and all that remained was a little quantity of sodium weighing 2.5ounces , The weights of the ohemical elements in the body of a man weighing 154 pounds nro Hiitnmar- ixed on ono of the labels as follows : Oxy gen. 07.20 pounds ; carbon , 31.10 ; hydro gen , 15.20 ; nitrogen , 0.80 : calcium , 8.80 ; phosphorus , 1.75 ; chlorine , .25 ; llonrlne , ,22 ; fiiilnhur , .22 ; potassium , .18 : sodium , 10 ; magnesium , .11 ; iron , ,01. Total , 151 pounds. Tld ? , however , is only ono way that the chemist lias of looking at n man. These elements are chemically combined with each other , forming numerous compound and another series in thu game case rep resents the result obtained by resolving another 151 pound mun into Ids principal chemical compounds. First there are two largo jars of water , containing to gether US pounds or-10 quarts. Then an other largo jar represents Iho protein compounds , of which tlio man yielded 21 pounds. The next in order of quality nro the fats , weighing 2l ! pounds , the mineral salts weighing 10 pounds 1U ounces , and the carbohydrates , starch and sugar , weighing : 3 ounces. Among the protein compounds appears hemoglobin , the red coloring matter of the blood , and which serves to carry and distribute the oxygen irom the lungs to the dilloront purls of the body. Two little vials contain pro- tagon and lecithin , substitutes found In the brain , spinal cord and nerves. Then tlinro is a pound of carbonate of limo , 8 } pounds of phosplmto of lime , 7 ounces of iiuoride of calcium , U ounces of phos- plmtii of magnum , ( I ounces of ohlorido of sodium , 5 ounces of chloride of potas sium that exhausted the man with which the chemist started. Daniel 13. Sloklns. S ( , LuuteUl'Jic Democrat , It is reported that Daniel K. Sickles is slated for next mayor of New York. ( ! on. Sickles is one of the most picturesque figures among American public men of our time.

"Hcil"Sulllvnu How Ho Killed Hntfli nt Mloux Oily. The linn has already published a tolo- pr.iplilc account of the shooting of Hatch in Sioux City by the man TrolU At la l nceouuts , the latter Imd tint been appre hended. Yesterday morning n sporting named "Ucd" Sullivan man arrived in the pity from the scene of thn murder. He was willifn tlircu feet of Hatch when the latter was shot. In spcakttiK with a HKI : reporter to-day about the afl'air , Sulli van said that ho had known both Hatch and Trout for some time. Trout had resided in Omaha last winter and worked in Wood's gambling house. He left there and went out ol town , finally reaching Sioux City in u bad ly demoralized financial condition. Hatch had gone into the gambling business at that place , n short time before , and when Trout approached and asked for n job , the former took him into partnership , agreeing to give him twenty-live per cent of the profits of the faro game. Trout went to work and continued at it for sometime , finally allowing a feel ing of antagonism against Hatch to take possession of him. Hatch visited Omaha last week and remained hero until last Thursday. While in town lie patronized the differon ! sporting houses after the manner of a man ol Ills occu pation , and spent his money with a liber ality which made him many friends. When lie started for homo ho invitiAl Sul livan to go with him for a short visit , and Suliivan accepted the invitation and left with Hatch for Sioux City on last Tlmw day evening. Early Saturday , Trout became demon strative and boasted as to what lie could do with Hatch and his tricnds. Ono of these references Sullivan thought applied to him , and later in the day asked Trout about it and was Informed that no harm was intended ana Unit his words were not in any manner to bo understood as referring to any other person than Hatch. This information was given as both Trout and Sullivan were standing at a bar getting a drink. They both went up to Hatch's gambling house. Sullivan remained inside while Trout wont to the saloon again and got a bottle of whisky. In the mean time Hatch had come to his own place , nnd meeting Sulliyan standing near the stud-poker table , took ten dollars from a roll of about ono hundred which ho was carrying , and offered - fored them to him as a stake to join the game. Sullivan accepted tlio mone.v , sat down , played , ami had just won a liand- some stnk'o when Trout entered and made directly for Hatch , who was still standing near tlio poker table. Trout commenced to abuse Hatch and the latter simply re plied that lie had taken hold ot Trout \yhen he was in want , given him a posi tion and in return for that was spoken about in u derogatory manner. " 1 have not spoken ot you in a deroga tory manner , " exclaimed Trout. ' 'Then I have been misinformed , " said Hatch. Trout then pulled his revolver and im mediately several people interfered and endeavored to restrain Trout and induce him to put his pistol away. lie drove every one of them back before his pistol , yet none of them thought ho would use it. He then faced Hatch , and almost without warning fired a shot , the hall striking Hatch to the right of the breast bone. Immediately the crowd fled , and Hutch ran down the back stcpS.jolloWcil by Trout , but no more shots were fired. Hatch dropped a short distance Irom the foot of the stairs and Trout continued to run. IfQho had gone down the front stairs ho most certainly would have been arrested by somebody , although it took minutes for a policeman to arrive. The shot attracted but little at tention , those who did hoar imagined that it was in celebration of the eve of the Fourth. Sullivan says that the reason the parties in the robin did not attempt to catch Trout was bcoauso they wcro afraid , none of them bcin armed at the time. Trout has not yet been arrested. His whereabouts are un known though mounted mun scoured the country for some time after the occur- once. _ _ _ The Mugwump Helm Up Serenely. OalccttoH JVcii'f.
