' The Fountains arc on deck again. They
came yesterday from St. Paul , where
I hey were captured by Constable Edger-
ton , as announced in the telegraph col
umns of the BEI : yesterday. Mrs Foun
tain has been wanted In Omaha for some
time to answer to the charge of disposing
of mortgaged property. The male Foun
tain is not wanted hero any more than lie
is at any other place , but he came along.
The only member of the Interesting fam
ily that is not present is the little Foun
tain , the "tootsy-wootsy" that was found
on the Fountain door stop in this city
under such pcciiliarcircumstances. Baby
Fountain is now at the Mer
chants' hotel in St. Paul , where
Mr. and Mrs. Fountain have been
since May last. Since that time the
authorities have been looking for the
Fountain wonan who is wanted to answer
to tlio onarge. preferred against her by
Edholm it Ericksoti , of this city , of dis
posing of mortgaged property. The
Htatcmcnt of the case that has been given
to the public is that when Mrs Fountain
was in business here she purchased a line
diamong ring from the jewellers above
named for $3.jO. Only a small cash pay
ments was made , Airs. Fountain agreeing
to pay the balance in installments as she
.succeeded in raising funds in her own
pccular manner. In the meantime the
firm held n morlcage on the jewel and
the woman promised not to remove
it from the city. About this
time one of Mrs. Fountains adventures
was made public. Young Pritnhutt ,
cheek clerk in the Western Union tele
graph office , was found to be a defaulter
in a large sum and the Hhorta e found to
have been occasioned by a lavish uxpon-
'
ilituro of the company's earnings upon
Mrs. Fountain. The sensation created by
the publication of this affair made a
change of climate desirable for thu ad
venturess. Baby Fountain's hea'th ' got
bad and he was hustled out of the city
between two days to escape turthcr ex
posure from the rigors of Omalia's cli
mate. In the hustle Mrs. Fountain for
got her mortgage obligations and took
the ring with her. Since then tlio own
ers of tlie hoop of gold have been wait
ing for an opportunity to get
their hands on tlie woman , figuratively
speaking. Mrs. Fountain and her hus
band were metal the transfer yesterday
astornoon by the linn's attorneys and ar
rangements made for a settlomon * of the
case. They all met at Judge Anderson's
office at 7 o'clock last evening when
Mrs. Fountain nave bonds in the sum of
? ! )00 ) for her appearance on Friday to
answer to the charges preferred against
her. Mrs. Fountain is as queenly and
dignilied as ever , leaving tlio fussing 10
bo done by her worst half , who wont
into hysterics at the sight of a reporter
last night. Ho. will probably recover.

Sain Jones' Sermon at tlio Exposition
niiililint : 11ant Mcht.
There was quiet in the gallery and en
trance ways at the exposition building
buildin < r last night , due to the presence
of a blue coated preserver of order sta
tioned in the building at Mr. Jones1 re
quest to choke off some young fellows
who have been disturbing the quiet of the
meeting for several evenings. The
evangelist took his theme from the par
able ot the pro-.igal ' son. The first half
hour of his addrr.- was devoted to a inn-
ning comment upon the lesson of the
parable. After pointing out the errors of
the prodigal ton in neglecting the advice
and precepts of his father , Mr. Jones
turned to the modern application of the
lesson to the text. He said :
I call toll you which way a follow Is truing

THK HlGGKSr DAY VF.T.
Ycstcrtlny'H IlcncJpts at tlie Slock
Ynrilw Other Notes.
It was generally predicted last summer
that as soon as tlin now packing houses
were running at the stockyards the daily
receipts of hogs would reach 10,000. ,
Yesterday that point was nearly reached ,
the fresh receipts amounting toO.fiOO , and
when taken with those left over from the
day before , there were over eleven thou
sand hogs on sale. The stock yards com
pany have been anticipating this for
some time , but when the iiay came there
was nothing in shape. Instead of being
in condition to handle that number of
hogs they could not take care of over
half that number and doit properly. The
commissionjmcu were very indignant yes
terday at what they termed the lack of
managementof the yards. All the hog pens
were full and it became necessary to run
hogs mlo the cattle pens , while a good
many loads were left in Iho al
leys and chutes. One train of
hogs was left standing on the
track all day and was not unloaded until
night. So long as a heavy run of hogs
was looked for , it is dillicult to &ee what
excuse there can bo for the stock yards
company not having provided more yard
age. The second cause of complaint is
that the .stock yards company do not nro-
vide half the men needed to do the work
property. There H only one hog snales
and when there is any loading or unload
ing to bo done they take the men away
from the scales , instead of having an
other force of men. There is another
scale-house in the lower part of the yards
but so situated as to be impracticable for
weighing hogs. The yards are very
poorly laid out and it would be a diflicult
matter to make them any more incon
venient than they are. If the puns had
been properly planned they could have
been made to contain at least a third
more hogs. The method of reporting the
arrivals at the ollice is very crude , and
while it may have answered the purpose
when tliero were only throe loads of hogs
per day it is hardly the thing now.
The stock yards company are behind the
times and need a good waking up if the
Omaha market is going to amountto any
thing.
THE NKW IUXK
opened for business yesterday with Mr.
liranch at the helm. Judging from the
number of patrons waiting for it to onen
its doors it will have its share , at leabt , of
the stock yards business.
THE U. lv. ULUFl'S ) OAMIJ
A short time ago a statement was nub-
lished in the llir. : that the Union I'acilic
road had raised its rate frouiConneil HIufTs
toSoulhOmaha from $ l > per car to $10 per
car , while the rate from South Omaha to
the Uliills was left at $0. This statement
was taken from the new tariff sheet of
the Union Pacific which cave the rate as
above. The Union Pacific oflicials denied
that the rate had been raised anil ex
plained that $10 was the regular original
rate and that that the $ < > rate
was special which was the reason
for the if 10 rate being inserted in the
tariff sheet. They further stated that the
$ U rate would continue in force. In spite
of this assertion they have been charging
$10 per ear for hauling live stock from
Council Binds to South Omaha and .ship
pers have had to pay it. In eas.s where
a big "kick" has been made the Union
Paeilic has refunded the $1 per car over
charges.
THK WATKK WOHKS
at the stock yards are nearly completed
and the svstem is giving very good satis
faction. The pumping plant coubi.-its of
live Cook vertical t > team puinp.s , with
cylinders " 10x30 , " also one duplex
Worthington steam pump. The Worth-
ing ton pump will draw from the pond
and will be used only for relief in cit-o ;
of repairs being necessary or for lire
purposes. ' 1 ho Cook pumps draw water
from tube wells and their capacity can
be increased by increasing the number
of wells. The capacity of the above
works using the Six pumps is 2,000,000
gallons of water per day. In the event
of more packing houses coining horn
they can bo increased to any capacity
remiired. The present capacity will bo
sulliclcnt for at least a couple of years
yet.

" ' London" at the
The cast of "Lights o'
Boyd last night contains but a few of the
actors who figured in the initial presen
tation of the piece hero two years ago.
In some instances changes hive conduced
to better work , in others they have acted
to weaken the play , Mr. llemplo was
more natural , If less entertaining , than
Mr. llarwood as "Jim-is , " while Helen
Weathersby , consistent in delineation ,
treated the people to an act which sub
stituted dilapidation and ago for buxomness -
ness and womanly power. William Leo
M ' 'Soth Prccno" worked the hardest ,
and attained to the greatest distinction in
the cast.
Aside from its exaggerations , few playa
are noted for a more tender picture of
conjugal love than that outlined in the
vicissitudes of the hero and heroine
parts , which were fairly well assumed by
Archibald Foster and Miss Carrie Lee
respectively.
The scenery was good , and the produc
tion of the piece on the whole satisfac
tory. The bridge scone nt the end of the
fifth act is faulty. The action takes place
on one side of the stage , and out of the
view of ouc-fourtn of thn audience. It is
the scene of the piece , and only minor
reasons may bo advanced against locat
ing the middle of the btago , where it
could be within view of all the auditors.
The piece will bo reproduced this atler-
nooii and evening.
An Ailing Sister.
The announcement of the serious ill
ness of Sister Mary Francis Clare , late of
Ireland , and for some tune a resident of
this country , was received hero this
morning , among many of her admirers ,
with feelings of regret. For fifteen
years she has been among the most as
siduous of Catholic and Irish writers ,
during winch time she has given to the
world several histories , biographies , as
also a couple of novels. Tluvju have all
bocn read extensively in this country
and were the means of bringing to the
convent of the authoress funds which
otherwise would have been tardily col
lected. With these tunils the cause of
education was subserved and the neces
sities of thn indigent poor relieved. Her
illness has been brought about by overexertion -
exertion , especially in the enterprise of
building a home for working girls in
New York.

< ns , But It Won't num.
A scientific analysis lias been made of
the gas discovered at the stock yards
during the boring of the wells a few
weeks ago. The chemist found it to bo
iiitrogon gas , and accordingly of no
value as illuminating gas. It is : i taste
less , odorless and colorless gas , and is
chiefly remarkable for its negative
character. It forms about four-fifths of
the atmosphere of the earth. The report
further states that it is frequently found
in the earth above the so called natural
gas , which is combustible. Other indi
cations point to the existence of natural
gas in the lower stnitas. and all that is
ni'cessar.y is to sinK a well deep enough
to reach it.

There have been a Dumber of important
real estate transfers undo of late , and it
seems that the boom has already begun
toshowup. | There area few credulous citi
zens , however , who have been spending
most of their time declaring that tlio re
ported sales were fictitious and reported
for effect. Such reports are hurtful to
the inloicsts of the city , and oven to the
Interests of those who are circulating
such reports. The sale of the Ballard
tract is a matter of record , as the papers
on file in the recorder's ollice and clerk's
olllco will show to anyone. It is a bona
fide sale and purchase , and moans busi
ness. The papers in tlio other forty-acre
sale will be recorded in a day or two ,
and it is n no less bona fide transfer. The
fact Is there has sprung up a wonderful
activit } ' in real estate In Council Bluffs ,
and the fogies who have tried to hold it
back , can hardly realize or believe that
such Is the case. The few who delight in
cryinir out that suoh sales are all non
sense must feel silly when they see the
records , and certainly appear silly to
others. Council Bluffs does not need to
make up fictitious reports of real estate
deals now , when in even the season of
the year considered unfavorable for real
estate deals , tliero is so much activity.
By the opening of spring Council Bluffs
will bo so lively that the croakers will
not find anyone who has time or patience
to listen to their tales of woo.

THE LABOR VOTE.
The Politicians 1'l.imilnj * to Cap
ture It.
New York Evening Post , November 20 :
The managers of the labor movement in
this city are taking active steps to perfect
their orcani/.ations in every assemby dis
trict , and they claim that in less than a
year's time their power will bo so great
that the regular factions in bold parties
will be compelled to recognize them.
There is no doubt , judging from conver
sations had with leading politicians , both
republicans and democrats , that tlio vote
polled by the labor organization was a
surprise to them , and that both parties
will seek either to control the vote or to
bring it os the bulk of it to the support of
the regular candidates.
One of the most prominent leaders of
the Tammany organization said to day :
"I look unon the labor movement as a
most powerful factor the decision of the
national election two years hence. They
have shown that without any regularly
organized management they can poll
03,000 votes , and both parties will nest
year as well as in 1888 try to secure con
trol of this vote. 1 believe myself that in
less than a year their organization will
bo broken up by discussions among the
leaders , but there are many who believe
that this vote cast for George will be
captured by one or tlio other of the regu
lar organi/.ed parties. At the election in
1887 a district attorney has to bo chosen ,
and it would be a great point for them , if
the managers ot the labor movement
could dictate the man to be elected. They
would be willing to sacrifice all the
other officers to bo chosen provided they
could secure the election of a man as
district attorney who yould be favorable
to the interests of their party. I have
that the managers of the republican ma
chine are to-day in conference with the
managers of tno Henry George move
ment , with a view to arrange a pro
gramme whereby a ticket snail be named
next year to defeat the regular organ
ized democratic ticket. I do not think
any such scheme could be carried out ,
but still there is a chance of it. The
labor candidate polled 03,0:10 : votes. If
only CO.OOO of these men could bo relied
uion to vote for the labor party , the ma-
cnine republicans can control at least
; WI)0 ) ! ) votes and if such a scheme as I
speak of was carried out , the candidates
named under the deal could poll at least
80,000 votes. "
Ono of the leaders of the labor movement -
mont said to-day : "There is no truth
whatever in the story that we are engaged
in any deal with the republicans or demo
crats ! Wo have tihown that without any
organi/ed management we can pollJ8OCO (
votes. What we propose to do is to or
ganize the labor party , so that we shall
exert some power in the question of
amending the constitution of the state
when thii question comes before tliu
people next sprinir , We have not looked
as far ahead as next fall , but it is more
than probable that the power of the labor
vote will 'ju felt at that time and possibly
in the elections two yeans banco. "
