"Quite a number of ladles and gentle men from Omaha were over to the beach last night , " remarked a gentleman who has considerable faith in the future of Lake Manawa and Manhattan beach , tea a BEE man yesterday morning , in the postolliec. "Mr. O. P. McCarthy , of the Union Pacific headquarters , and several other gentlemen of the Union Pacilic , were among the party , " lie continued , "and. Mr. McCarthy knows what a good beach and line bathing is , as he has been brought up in a neighborhood where there were many such places.

They go on duty nt 7 o'clock in the morning , and go oil' about 0 o'clock. This is bad enough , but frequently tlio hours are lengthened by delays caused by using the dummy engine lor switching , La tnglit ! , for .instance , instead of the dummy train leaving Omaha for Council IHuffe at 8.15. the engine was used for switching until nearly l ) o'clock , so that the dummy did not reach this side until after I ) o'clock , and then liaii to return. The yards on the Omaha side arc so crowded that it causes delays , and there seems a lack of switch engines besides. On the Council Hind's siilo there is plenty of room , which could " be used for yards" ana with : i supply of switcli engines , it .vccms that the matter could bo arranged so as to let the boys have shorter hours. The annoyance to passengers , who are often delayed on the evening run and on the 1 1 o'clock dummy run. is great al o , and causes many com plaints. There is danger , too , in keep ing men on duty so long. Overworked. they cannot perform the best service , and accidents are more liable to occur. Personal Paragraphs. W. B.

The calico made years ago , says the trade journal..Fiber and Fabric , would wear twice as long without washing as the modern calico. More substance in actual fibre is what is wanted to regain popularity. Another icason is the low price that woo ! has ruled at for several years past , onubling our manufacturers to make woolen dress goods at a very low ligurc , and these goods do not re quire washing. Some may think they absorb just us much dirt without show ing it , but they do not. Cotton warp goods with combed wool tilling can now be sold almost as cheap us calico used to be sold for. But let elean wool again run up to ยง 1 and over and calico would again be more in dcntand. It might be in its form and under , thcf more fascinat ing name of sateen , which is but thu same fabric with the sumo Unaferial and pro cess of printing , onlyit ; is- wove on three , four , or live harness , | Whivh enables the manufacturer to miiko i < whut wo call a warp or satin face.

Satin ia wove on sixteen harness , with fiftefnn threads up every time a filling pick is thrown in ; while sateen i.s wove on four harness , usually with three wiirn/throuds up every time a lilling pick cods , in' ' All observers will have noticed that sa'tin will not hold dust , and will repel all kinds of dirt , al though silk in othrir" weaves , such as gros-gruins , will catch and hold , not only dust , but any foreign substance. Cotton docs not have the repelling power of silk , because it i.s not so lustrous , but is a quick absorber of moisture , and has an oeual alliuity for dirt. A Kansas Tonuuto. New York Graphic : "Ono July night , " continued the tall man , " 1 had my wheat till stacked ready for thrashing , and went to bed feeling as rich us if I owned tlie country. Abontmidnight , as near as 1 can recollect , 1 heard a clap ot thunder , and then the house begun to rock like a willow tree. Then everything was quiet for a little while , and I went to sleep. Early the next morning my wife got up and looked out of the window. " 'John , said she , 'where on curtli is \'our wheat ! ? ' ' "WhatV said 1 , jumping out of bed , 'what's that you say * ' " 'Where's the wlimtV "I looked out out of the window , too , and stranger. J saw the most remarkable sight I ever saw. There wasn't a cram ot wliuat within u inilo of mo. Tliero wasn't a remnant of my barn. My barn yard was gone , the horse , the cows , and even the pigs were gone. I got dressed and walked out doors. The place was changed , stranger changed in a single night. My house suttinp in a garden by tlio side of a creek. There was a now barn in the yard , some red cows mine weio white ; some black pigs mine were spotted ; and instead of wheat there was the alllirdest stack of cornstalks yon over looked at. I thought at first I was dreaming , and asked my wife to kick me , but I wasn't. About breakfast time somu neighbors came in and asked where Mr. Jones was. I never heard of him. " 'Ho used to live hero,1 they said. 'Ho lived hero last night. ' "Then I told them of the crash and the rocking , and they said I must huva been struck by a tornado. I asked where I was , nnd tlioy said I was In Izard comity , whioh was fifty miles south of where 1 wont to bed. Sure enough , they were right , The strongest part of it was , the house wasn't hurt a bit. The roof even didn't leak. Thu neighbors said it was a visitation of Providence , and tlio piano belonged to mo. But that wasn't all. stranger. About a year a'tcr I hoard from f.omo of my old neighbors that Jones' liotiso had been moved riirht up to where my old hoiiau stood , by thu samu blasted wind.
