Representative Conger reported back , with n recommendation similar to that made In the ubovo mentioned case , the bill granting a pension to David T. Kldcrkln , of Iowa. The same action was taken In the case of Sarah Ann IJradloy. The president vetoed the bill on the ground thai her hus band did not die of disability contracted In the scrvlrc , but the committee does not re gard that fact as essential , and holds that the evidence that tlio claimant Is dependent Is sutlicleiit to warrant thy allowance of the elalin.

Tlio rcnoit of the committee on repot is from states was read by General U. Urenkeniioll' , of Ohio. It states that no new state boards of public charities have been formed.

The In dustrial school in Chicago was tlio only ono In the state.

A PugillRtio Family. Evidently the Bcckccs family are unac quainted with the blessings of a harmoni ous dwelling together , for the malo'mcm- bcrs seldom meet without creating a small-sized war. It has been so over since they resided in these parts , especi ally between the brothers and brothcrh- in-law. Some voars ago ono of the lat ter , named Kaiser , had a cutting scrape with Will Bcckces , and the result was that the hitter had to spend two years in the penitentiary. The condemned claims to this day that It wn § Kaiser who did the cutting , and that his own father , mother sisters and brothers perjured themselves to send him to Lincoln. Yesterday Dan Ucckecs met his brother Will near JKtip- pec's meat market , on South Sixth street , and nn encounter ensued , in which the latter was badly worsted. The defeated party of course sought the aid of the po lice , claiming that there was no cause or provocation for the assault. Should an arrest and trial take place it will bo seen whether these statements are true or not , Bund oTMuHioal Last night's overland train on the Union Pacific ; had a car load of Italians attached. They were bound for Lead- villo , and about every one of thorn had a musical instrument. There was appar ently more musio than broad in the crowd , and certainly more artistic skill with fingers and lungs than cleanliness. From a piccolo to a hand organ there was every variety of instruments com monly played by Italians , and if all the players In last night's party are lot loose on Lcadvillo at once farewell to the aurlcal health of the Silver City. The miners will think they are having a second end spring when the organs are opened , and there will not bo nioke.ls enough in all Colorado to pay proper tribute to the visitors from Italy's fair shores. The "Imvcmler" Fakir. A now fakir has sprung his game upon an unsuspecting public. Ho is the "Lav ender" fiend , lie has n semi-powdered preparation put up In envelopes which is warranted to kill moths and keep them out of trunks and packages of clothing. Fish are plenty and ho does n rushing business. His preparation on examina tion proves to bo nothing but finely ground hay which js sprinkled with lav ender perfume to give it the regulation sinoll. Thu Irrcprcssihta rat , Pat Kearney appeared at the police sta tion last night and sought.a warrant for the arrest of G cargo SclmlUs , whom ho accused of having assaulted him and slapped him In the mouth , The warrant was not produced with the alacrity desired - sired by Pat und he commenced abusing the police.

The onljf delegates from abroad who ar rlycd to attend the meeting of the execu tive committee of tlio I'lattdeutsohers' ver- cln of North America , reached hero Thurs day night. They were till from Chicago and consisted of Adolph Kruao , Gco. J ) . Tiarks , Christ .Jensen and William Meyer , the president of the central com mittee. The society has boon but recently or- gaui/ed , anil , as yet , has branches es tablished but in Chicago , where there tire two , anil in Detroit. Cleveland , St. Louis , Grand Island , Toledo , Omaha , whore is but ono branch in each established. It was expected that there would bo at least thirty delegates from all thcso places , but it cannot bo understood that only Chicago should send her delegates. The object of this mooting is to perfect a plan of llfo insurance in connection with the society and elect ofllccrs for the next year. The first session was con vened yesterday morning anil asted until 1:30 : p. in. It was called to order by William Meyer , of Cliicamo , and Herd Evers , of this city acted ns secretary. Besides the delegates - , gates above mentioned , the following from Omaha were present : J. T. Paul- sen , B. livers , Henry Anderson , Henry Eicko , A. U. Uthoir , Chris. Grotmaok. The afternoon session opened at 3:30 : o'clock. The delegates of the morning were present. The first business trans- .act-mi was the election of ollicors for tlio ensuing year with thn following result : William Mover , of Chicago , president ) John T. Paulson , Omaha , yicc-nresidont. According to the constitution tlio treasu rer and financial secretary are to bo resi dents of the cif.y in which the president resident resides. Tlio organization of which the president is a member is there fore empowered to elect those officers , and will do so immediately after the Chicago cage delegates return homo. The other ollicers , corresponding und recording secretary , will bo elected by the Omaha society. Following the election of officers , the conven tion considered several plans of life insuratico , the result of which is that $300 will be paid to tlio family of deceased members of those who desire to avail themselves of the insurance fund , while each member will bq taxed ten cents per year , to defray incidental expenses. Those who enter the insurance associa tion will be taxed $1 on the death of each member of the samo. This money will bo paid to the widow or nearest heir of the member deceased. The matter of join ing tha insurance fund 13 left to the dis cretion of each member. The next convention will bo hold in Chicago , at a time to bo decided by the branches of that city. The convention then adjourned , till the next ono in Chicago. The Chicago delegates above men tioned are large , corpulent , good-looking and genial gentlemen. They are all in the prime of life , well-clad , intelligent , refined , and bear the appearance of men who have been successful in their battling with the world. They have shown their devotion to the society by attending the convention In a body and their determina tion to stand by the organization until it shall become both successful and coextensive - tensive with the limits of the country. It may bo mentioned in this connection that the idea of establishing a national associa tion of Plattdcutschcrs originated two yours ago with both Omaha and Chicago. The society of this city is but three years old , and its first president was A. J. Jasper. This gentleman was honored by olcctiou as first president of the national association Sir. Meyer , of Chicago , succeeded him , and has now been re-elected to the posi tion. Ho is a gentleman worthy ot the honor in both financial and social views. Last night the ball in honor of the dele gates took placcvit Masonio hall. Jt was attended by an excellent number of young young people , who enjoyed the pleasures of the dance to the delightful fill music of Hoffman's orchestra until an early hour this morning. The hall was most pleasantly decor ated , full grown trees decorated each side of the stage with a large-sized youth ful oak in the middle. J'lio cllect of thcso was a perspective which made tlio roar wall 7o feet from the foot lights. On the wainscot of the Stage wcro the words outlined in oak leaves , "Jungs holt fast. " This is the brotherly motto of the country and has boon espoused by the society. Oak trees and boughs adorned the entrance and windows , while wroatiies of the same were suspended between the frames. The effect of the whole , as the wind played with the branches , was that of a nnniatiiro forest with grateful odors of loaves and woodland. Upon cither side of the stage were hung the flags of the Omaha Vcrceu , while pendant over the floor wcro the Hugs of North Germany and tiio United States. The beautifully painted flag of the focal society was emblazoned with the tradi tional double oak which never dies. Beneath it were the le gends : "Mo Grolmt , " "Ho Uloht , " "Ho Waszt , " which , rendered into Eiurlish moans "it grows , it blossoms and it ahvay.i Increases. " Thcso matters arc strangely characteristic of L'latt- dontficlius , wiio thrive like the oak in nearly all their undertakings. To-night the delegates will bo enter tained by a special p erformimco at the Stadt theater. This afternoon iho delegates will bo given n rule throughput tlio city. To-morrow a picnic in their honor will bo given at Hnscall's park. Before it , a procession will bo formed and march to the park.

MVK STOOIt M A It K 1ST. Home oT its Suporlorilles Orel * Other 1'olntH. The buyer ? on the Omaha hog market realize that to bring hogs hero they must pay good prices , and a comparison between - tweon this market and others will show how well they aro. putting It into practice. Yesterday , J. I' . Squires , tha Boston packer , brought eight doulijo clock cars of good heavy hogs in Chicago for ? 4.82J. Good heavy hogs were sold at the same time in Omaha for $4.75 to fl.80 , one load going as high as1.85 , "It the Omaha market gets much higher ; " remarked an old shipper , "I shall go to Cliiotigo nnd begin shipping hogs to Oniaha. " TUB OUTLOOK PROMISING. The outlook for the Omaha hog market it certainly very promising. The local packing houses , which will bo In opera- i tion by fall , will require nt least seven thousand hogs per day. This Is a very low estimate as Fowler , Boyd and Up ton alone have a capacity for flvo thou sand , and In addition to them will bo Hammond & Co. , Sheeloy & Co. , Harris & Fisher and Green und Stewart of the Blutfs. Besides the lornl packers , there are several located not far from Omaha that will depend UMOII getting their sup ply here , such us Wray & Hall , of lown , which will swell the aggregate number considerable larger. Then there will brt the Boston and I'hiengo packer * , who have buyers hero already , anjl the specu lators wiio will be able to lake u few thousand more. Oniaha will bo in shape by fall to handle all the hogs that Ne braska and the surrounding country can ship hero. i.ivr. STOCK uTT.S. . The system of advance charges on live stock , in vogue on the Union Pacific ; Hue , is causing a great deal of dis atis- faction among live stock men. The local rates on HVo stock from nil points on the Union Pacific , east of Plum Crook , Nob. , is less than the through rate ; that is , the Union Pacific receives less trom n car of hogs shipped from any point cast of Plum Creek to Omaha , than it does from the same car when billed straight through to Chicago. It frequently hap pens that stock is shipped into tlio Oma ha stock yards from the west , at local rates , and sold to parties who rcship to Chicago. The billing has to go through the hands of trio Union Pacific and it is their custom to add on enough to the bill to make up the diflercnco uctweon the joeal and through rates. If the stock is sold to parties who do got rcship them no further charge Is made. The amount of the additional charges is all the way from $3 to $14 per car. Yesterday a shipper who brought a largo string of hogs tor shipment to Chicago found , when the billing was made out , that four loads had come from points where the local was less than tlio through rates , and that the Union Pacific had added ! ? ll to tlio rate between Omaha Chicago. This method causes n great deal of dissatisfaction and annoyance * . Heirular shippers , who are accustomed to the method , pay the advance charges under protest , but the stranger , when ho finds $11) ) or sjl'j per car added to his billing , howls until everything is blue and talks about fraud , robbery , etc. If the Union Pacific would adopt some other method of adjusting the through and local rates they would save much dist-al- isfuotioifnuid trouble among stock aeii. THE REAL KSTATEVOUljD. . How It Has Kcvolvcil During the Past AV'ook. The real estate world this week expe rienced a decided improvement during the cool days , though in the earlier ones , it suffered from the heat which affected almost every line of trade. The dull days have not been unappreci ated by the dealers , to whom the preced ing prolonged spell of competition , con tention and anxiety suggested a rest which will give them courage to enter upon a cooler term , which they believe has happily been entered upon. The demand for inside property during the past few days has not been so great as during the preceding , yet it is known that a number of choice locations which are now covered by shan ties are earnestly soughtJSbyQboth lionio and foreign capitalists. As they are oeing looked alter by agents , for whom they act not even the purchaser may know until the time for the transfer nas actually arrived. Instead of the dullness inside a liveli ness has been experienced in favor of outlying property. The projected cable line , which has been so long a matter of -.speculation us to where it shall extend its lines , has had the cllbct of increasing the interest in suburban land. The two viaducts to the south have also assisted in the appreciation , and when they arc completed there Is little doubt but that property to the south of them will attain still higher figures than it now com mands. There will be in tiiis apj preciation an clement of property whioli lias not always been observable in the listed values of outside lands , because by the means mentioned ono of tlio most , valuable and available parts of the city for both business and residence pnr- noses will bo brought wilhin easy reach of the city With respect to the advantages which are now generally understood to accrue to prouriotorship of land near the South Omaha stock yards , there are few people who are not familiar. The town ql South Omaha lying adjacent is in- f.reasing in population , and is bound to incruaso according as tlio mammoth packing and slaughtering houses now being made ready for the. fall trade are thrown open for business. Before the end of the year , it is estimated that there will be not less than 2.000 residents - dents in the place , and this number will of cqnrso increase because other in dustries will follow these now already es tablished thero. Of this tlio South Oma ha Stock Yards company are confident. They display this confidence in the money they have invested and the atten tion they display in the management of everything connected with their interests. At present , there is a little difference between them and the lawn proper situated on the east side of the tracks. The latter wisli to have incorporated both sides of the track , while the stock yards people oppose the move , ut least so far us their side of the track is concerned , while they favor the incorporation of the town by itself. The matter has boon postponed for thirty days , when it will again como up for consideration by the county com missioners. Attention has lately been directed to the southern part of the city to the cast- ward of the stock yards , and to such a degree that it has resulted in the sur prise of many people. It has been , BO to speak , tlio opening of a now world , filled with beautiful wooded hills and abounding in clear , cool springs , all of which conduces to the mont beautiful of rnsidonoo property for people of imtans and who desire tracts'of diversified laud for various and extensive ornamentation. To the northward there is now quito a rush , while to thn west the utoatly ad- viuico of the past few weeks has been maintained , The improvements in the immediate vicinity of Ginning street and the city limits have clearly outstripped tJiosn in that part of the countytand these togetherwith the prospect of a high sohool and the subdivision of the school district will tend to its grcr.ter unhunccment. All the ether outlying districts have profited also by the salu. of the week , and QUO of the best proofs of the favoritism they at present nnjoy is that the owners and agents of nearly all of tliem have raised their prices , in some casus us high as u. hundred dollars. MIIU'M Inhumanity. On Ninth street , between Pacific street and the B. & M. yards , lies a horse dying from hunger and thirst. Ho has been there nimble to rise since Thursday after noon without having a drop of water or anything to eat except what the humane policeIDUn at the B & M. douot gavn him. At that time the animal was too exhausted to accept these charitable of ferings. The indications are Unit the horse has boon in u starving condition for somc time and without a doubt hits been turned out to dlo by \ \ inhuman owner , If any one ! ia5 authority it would bo a kili'J net io cud thu animal's tmflbriugs with a bullot.

[ Mr. Kraus la making u Hying visit to Omaha on his way to learn tlio prices of Chicago grocpr . | "This is not my first visit to this 'metropolis' , as yon call it , of yours. I was here three yours ago , looking out for a place to settle down in. 1 had often tired of the cast. 1 had mndo n little money there , and 1 wanted to sptthtlown hero in a place that would enable mo to increase It. 1 thought favorably of Omaliii. but somebody suggested a trip to the northwest. Well I 'earred' and 'staged' and never returned till now. No , Omaha does not control the trade of any part of the country by any means. She seems not to realize that she has such an opponent ns Chiongo to eontend against , and I don't need to tell you that I'hieago is not to Ue scorned. Yes , I'll admit that Omaha has driven the Chicago grocery men trom thn state at least in your part of it and further west , but that is not true of our part. The Chicago drummers in all lines , in our section are legion. You have some good men there , but they arc fighting against odds. Tlio rest of your people ought to back them. Even then , their victory would bo a laud able ono. As it is , 1 could e nn in or : il i ) the Omaha firms , who are work- lug for our trade upon my llugcis. Some are working energetically others half mechanically , and , us a qnii- sequence , they pick up only the crumbs I don't know that I shall buy In Chicago. I am friendly to Omaha , but I tun going to the other place to sco what it has to say about the matter. Yes , Iv'o got Omaha prices. Other tilings being equal , Omaha will gut my trade. " A. O. Heath , of Cherry County. [ Mr. Keith Is in town , waiting to meet HOUIO G. A. H. friends on their way to San Francisco ] " ! notice. " said ho , "in some of the Omaha papers , that the question is being agitated as to whether that part of Nebraska west of a certain line , North Platte , I believe , may bo utilized for agri cultural purposes. I also notice that some correspondents that it it not and never will bo useful for such purpose. Ono of the rea sons nrgod against it is that the soil can not bo rendered productive without Irri gation. Tin * correspondent in question seems to think because this is the case that the country in question is not avail able and therefore should not bo sold for agricultural purposes. If this bo so , how comes it that for years people in Col6r- ado have been living contentedly and prospering upon lands which now , as much as when they took them , stood in need of irrigation ? Cannot , settlers in the part of Nebraska mentioned do as much as the settlers in Colorado did ? Have they not the streams with which to irrigate as have the irrlgalors of Color ado ? For years back I have been pass ing through parts of Nebraska in which running water is scarce. And yi t into suoh places immigrants are flocking by hundreds. Anil vet I fool that tlio part's of the state decried by these people , with the possibility of irrigation , arc not less worthy of settlement than those of less sandy composition , but yet almost entirely wanting in water. It is too old and commonplace to talk about Ne braska as a ' 'desert. ' " She has long since disproved the appellation. Strctelies of land , which not many years were arM as that now in question , were styled as barren and lit scarcely for grazing pur- pos s. are now yielding bounteous crops. Irrigation has not produced this change , it is true. It has been effected by plant ing of trees and cultivation of the soil \vliich would seem , indeed , to have en tirely changed the nature ( if the soil. With the unlimited supply of water ut the command of settlers west of North Platte , which the canal projected would supply , tho.sc people need never fear for crops , and in dry periods would have an advantage over those further east , who , at times such as those were are now passing through , must rely entirely upon elements. This will give them time to plant their trues und cnconrugn to loolc by degrees for the greater enrichment of the soil. " Itutlding PcrmilR.
