Tlio graveyard insurance ! concern at
IJeatrleo , known us tlio Western Mutual
Benevolent association , has received a
black oyc from the capital city. Some
time since a couple of agents of the con
cern came to Lincoln , opened an ollicc
and , to add a home indorsement to the
outlit that a man cannot got even with
in death , an advisory board was formed.
With a generous display of advertising ,
nnd the moral support given by the names '
of the advisory board , the Mu
tual Benevolent association had a fairly
reasonable good standing and prospect
for business. Whether this advisory
board was secured through a liberal
amount of gratuitous policy writing the
ex-members pay not , but grists of such
policies have been written for about that
kind of compensation. This advisory
board , which has been standing practi
cally sponsor for the company , has evi
dently taken warning at the recent ex
pose of the company's manner of doing
business , and to satisfy themselves that
thov were not being used to help along a
crippled institution not worthy of the
public , they sent ono of their number to
headquarters to investigate. The result
has been that the board are dissatisfied
and publish the following card to the
public :
\Ve , the undersigned policy holder ? iu the
"Western Mutual Iteiiovolent association and
members of the advisory board , having sent
a member of our committed to the homo ollluo
v of snlil association at lleatrice , Neb. , to In
vestigate tlio system of management of s id
association , lind from the repot t ot the com
mittee that the system and management of
until association docs not meet our approval.
\\etlierelorowlthdraw our former recom
mendations of Raid Insurance company and
dissolve said advisory board.
The report is signed by the following
well known citizens : It. K. Randall , C.
A. Atkinson , J. O. Dawson. II. 15. Graham ,
,1.11. Miller , K. K. Si/.cr , J. E. Driesbach.
Oliver P , Davis , P. W. O'Connor. Of
these gentleman Mr. Randall is the for
mer immigration agent of the li. & M. ,
Mr , Graham is a former county treasurer ,
Mr. Miller a prominent merchant , Mr.
Sizcr clerk of the courts , and Mr. Davis
nn attorney. From tlio published state
ment of these parties the concern stands
indicted. This advisory board was
paraded with printers' ink when it was
formed and fairly put Mr.Sabiu's scheme
on a respectable footing in Lincoln :
{ shortly after the Unn's expose of the
rotten and wholly unbnsinoss-liko way in
which thi ) Beatrice institution was run ,
Mr. Stibiii dropped into Lincoln one night
nnd the Lincoln Journal which is al
ways happy and in its normal state of
mind when bolstering up a fraud gave
a two column interview to Saoiu to pro
test against the exposure. It is mildlv
hinted that Kditor Gere wai reimbursed
for the outlay of space by . policy in the
graveyard company , which , though a
little high figure for the space , was pro
Bumably agood investment. The advisory
board now add to the value of Sabin's
talk on the wealth and worth of the insti
tution.
tution.A
A MKKTING THAT DID NOT MKF.T.
A meeting of the Lincoln board of
trade was called for Saturday evening ,
but it failed utterly to materialize. It
in ay bo an open question whether the
city has sucli an organization at all any
more , for insofar as transacting any busi
ness is concerned the board is evidently
nil. In the past nine months there has
been but one gathering nt all under the
board of trade call , and that vas simply
n "regulation" meeting , hold in the
sweet summer time when the soul of the
State Journal company and a few of its
bowers were disturbed lest the city
ollicials did not know their business in
the construction of a sewerage system
for the city. The meeting at that time
was called to "havo things done prop
erly , " and because the city council had
Been fit to secure tha city engineer of
Omaha to supervise the sewer construc
tion the "regulators" were out iu force.
The meeting , however , so discouraged
them at that time that the board has lain
dormant over since. There was nothing
whatever specified in the call for the
meeting of the board Saturday evening -
ing , but it was generally under
stood that in the charter matter or
something of that character the city gov
ernment needed a little introduction and
enlightenment ; that some one individual
or another know just the proper wav , and
the meeting was to put it In motion. When
the HKU visited the place of meeting the
hour was long past for the gathering and
a half dozen were at the foot of the hall
way ready to return. Ono of the as-
Bomblod ones spoke out in the way of val
edictory that the trouble seemed to be
that the board of trade was not such , but
was used by a few parties who were loud
and anxious to have public committees to
regulate improvements , but who were
meek and lowly tax-dodgers when the as
sessors made their rounds. Mr. Hum
phrey , the president of the board , would
undoubtedly bo pleased to have the citi
zens whoso names are on the roll of mem
bership come to the front and assist in
placing the organization on its foot for
Home practical work for the coming year.
Were the board placed in this position it
would cease being made a refuge for the
use of those who aim to gain notoriety in
taking matters out of their regular chan
nels and achieving glory in the days when
glory and taxation are separate and dis
tinct.
THE KUI.T LINE MATERIALIZED.
The formal incorporation of thu Lin
coln Bolt Line railroad , heretofore an
nounced , has been consummated and the
citizens of Lincoln now view it in its
business bearings. The capital stock of
thu company is fixed at f 1,000,000 , and
O. W. Mosher , W. 11. B. Stout , II. D.
MoFarland , V. I. Foss , J. W. Dewccse , J.
J. ImholV and T. M. Marquett are the
incorporators. A glance at the list
shows that the B. fc M. are practically
behind tlio movement , and such is the
universal opinion. Mr. Stout has sev
eral hundred acres just south of the city
that with the building of the line would
make valuable suburban property. Mr.
Imlion" is ono of the heavy owners in the
West Lincoln town situ and the interests
nt that point. Mr. McFarland lias heavy
interests at the fair grounds und viclniy.t
and Mr. Foss iu the past month has been
heavy investor in oulsido property. All
of which is in evidence that the iucorpo-
raters are directly interested in the con
struction of the line which , in the minds
of many , will go far toward an asstif'
ancu that tlio road will bo built. From
thu fair grounds to the penitentiary ,
nearly one-half the distance around tin
city , the D. te M. have tracks
already In operation on their different
feront lines and a dummy train couU !
be put on iu that way at the present time
did the business warrant. The UKK yesterday
torday , In a short interview with one ol
the incorporators , received the assurance
for the public that a line from Lincoln tc
the penitentiary would certainly bo con
structed and put in operation the coming
summer. Thu project is viewed , however
over , by a number in Inot such n roseati
light , nnd it is adjudged by tlcnto \ bt
mom boom than actual reality. Said ar
observing citizen : "Put money into .lot , '
within reach of the street railways at
present , put aside ( ho far-ofT chertpor
lots , and watch the building of the belt
line. " The world Is wide and broad out
side the city limits.
THE SinN'WIUTT.ltS1 HAKVKST.
The men who construct bulletin Irormls
nnd paint ihercon the name1 ! of the new
real estate linns a they enter into busi
ness are the best patronized class in Lin
coln at the present timo. A newspaper
that woiud lind the now real estate linns
that were started the past week would
lind that an oven dozen would fall short
of the number of linns now to business in
that timo. The time has arrived when
the business man is importuned for a
corner by the window , when every law
ollico has a desk devoted to real estate ;
every man of them is an especial friend
of the sign-writer , whoso list of new ac
quaintances Is prodigious.
AWOtlTTlinClTV.
The hotels were lonesome yesterday ;
almost all of the law makers and the lob
byists were homo for over Sunday and
tins lists of arrivals were light at every
house. The coming week promises to see'
some prohibitory measures taken in the
legislature , and n lobby in its interests
it is said will bo present during the week.
A man was knocked down and terri
bly beaten on one of the principal
streets of the city yesterday morning by
two thugs , with evident intentions
robbery. The attacked man made such
a vigorous resistance , however , that the
two highwavrnon contented themselves
with licking" him. No arrests followed.
The prospects of paving are being daily
watched , and it is the oxpicsscd wish of
many that the Lincoln charter bo pushed
through with the emergency clause , so
that work may bo commenced through
necessary preliminaries at once. Iho
scigo of mud in the springtime will be an
elegant plea for haste.
Roland Reed in "Humbiicr" is the next
attraction booked for the Funko opera
house , on Wednesday evening , and at
the People's ' the same date the ( icotgia
Minstrels will warble for the public , tri-
day evening the Nashville Students ap
pear at the People's under the auspice0
of the Y. M. C. A. , and the association
ask of the public a liberal patronage.
The case in district court settled by
jury Saturday morning involved the po-
session of a valuable lot on cast O street.
Another suit was heard that involved a
commission on the sale of a piece of land
through an introduction of the parties
making the trade.
The boys of Post A. T. P. A. , find their
post increasing in membership and pop
ularity and their rooms constantly dimin
ishing in size insofar as accommodations
go. Their latest move is to agitate the
question of incorporation and new and
commodious headquarters.
PINNED TO HIS SEAT.
Dlacovcrlnc n flemcdy Against Cock
tails lietwecn the Acts.
New York Star : It is a very good story
which a genial friend of ours tells about a
young man of Ins acquaintance. The
, 'oung man , it seems , is good look-
US , ot a nice family , and a good deal of
i favorite with the ladies. But ho is al-
ogother too fond of a little red liquor ,
oatly trimmed with lemon and things
nd served in cut glass so fond , indeed ,
hat some of the careful girls have of
ate fought shy of his escort to places of
musemont. One day last week he invited
j'oung lady to go and sco "Tho Harbor
.ights"saystho Baltimore American. She
ranted to see the play , nnd , the truth is ,
athcr liked Tom we will call the young
man Tom for short but she hesitated
bout accepting the invitation. Her
riends advised nor to dcclino , and warn-
d her that , if she accepted Tom would
cave her alone a few minutes after every
tict , while lie was out interviewing the
nearest barkeeper.
"Oh , no , ho wouldn't do that , " said
ho voung lady.
"Yes , but ho would , " the advisors re-
died ; "he took Em Johnson week before
.ast , and went out three times and came
n chewing cjovcs and coffee , and Em
was so mortified that she says "
"But ho wouldn't leave mo alone in the
boater , I know. " the young lady ro
.ortcd , confidently ; "anu to prove it I will
accept his invitation. "
On the way to the theater Tom was all
Dallantry , nnd the curtain oneo up he
was greatly interested in the drama. But
at the cud of the lirst act ho made a brief
apology to the effect that ho wished to
speak with a friend whom he saw standIng -
Ing in the foyer , and rose to go. But ho
liun't ' go. Something seemed to take
hold of his coat tails and pull him back
into his sent. Imagbio poor Tom's cha
grin and surprise when n second's in
vestigation showed him that his fair
companion , who sat with such an in
nocent look in her brown eyes , had
pinned his coat to the upholstering
of the seat with a good , strong safety
pin. Tom's face felt as if it was on a
broiler , and a cold wave or two ran
and down his spinal column , but ho
didn't say n word. Nor did ho leave his
seat until the curtain fell on the happy
denouement in the play. The end of the
little drama in the dress circle scats was
equally ngreeablo , for on the way out
Tom smilingly confessed that the joke
was on him and the reproof a merited
ono. Ho also promised that if again
given the pleasure of escorting his
charming companion to the theatre , no
safety pins would bo needed to keep him
in his scat.
"I hope ho will marry that girl , " added
our genial friend , "because if ho docs
she'll reform him and make n man out
of him as sitro as guns. "
SOME EXCUSES.
Plausible Explanations That May Ho
Useful to Sonio Married Men.
( All married mon nnd all contemplat
ing matrimony will lind it to their advan
tage to carefully memorize the following
list of plausible excuses for coming homo
at 3. a. m. or later. They have been com
piled for Tid-Bits by a benedict of long
experience- . )
You may state that :
You dropped in to nco a friend and
found him dangerously ill with the
rheumatism , and remained al his urgent
request to cheer him with sprightly rop-
nvtoo ;
You mot n clergyman who used to boone
ono of your college fncndsnnd yielded to
his pressing invitation to nccompnuy him
homo ; you have spent the evening in his
study engaged in a discussion on heathen
missions ;
You have been atthpoffico looking over
the books , and are too tired and worried
to talk ;
The clock in wrong ;
Yon have been discussing a grout
monoy-mnkingschomo with a well known
financier ; and if your expectations are
realized she shall have a new sealskin
oacquo ;
Your watch stopped , and you had no
idea that it was so lato.
You hnvo boon down town with n news
paper man nnd you hnvo boon watching
the process of printing a great morning
paper. ( This is an original and good ex
cuse. Try to enthuse a little about the
giant presses , the horny-handed work
men , etc. )
You have boon to a tenement house
fire and have benn assisting the poor dis
tressed inmates to remove their goods to
places of safety. State that your heart
bled at the spectacles of abject poverty
which you then witnessed.
You were run over by a truck on your
way home at 10 o'clock ; you were taken
to a drug store ; you would not normit
the bystanders to send for your family ,
because you foil that you would soon be
able to walk ; you are much bettor now ,
and think that all you aood is perfect
quiet.

LONDON LIBRARIES.
They nourish Among a People with
Ijclauro far Heading.
Philadelphia Record ! Londoners are
a great reading people. But there is this
difference between the English and the
Americans. In the United States every
body roads. In Kngland there is an
especial reading class only who most pat-
ronlzo the .stalls. At least a million Kn-
gllsh fpjakinsr people from thi < class tire
possessed of good incomes. These in
comes vary from colossal sums , such as
the Duke of Westminster and other
dukes and duchesses ct.joy , down to the
more modest but comparatively ample
income of a curate's son or daughter
whoso grands1 ! or granddam loft an an
nuity. What else have they to do if they
do not road ? And reading creates the
demand for supplies of reading matter.
Authors are therefore in great favor hero ,
where reading is a veritable profession ,
indeed , almost the only occupation of
aclas. These facts , after only a short
residence in London , answered myquos-
tlontng , "Who supports those book stalls
and these myriad libraries. "
First of all , as being most familiar to
Americans , there is Mudlo'c , having
thrco libraries. Ono branch is in King
strnet , Choapsido , near the noted Bank
of Kngland. Another branch Is in Regent
street , in the midst of ladles' haberdash
ery shops , us they call "stores" for fem
inine wear here. And the third , or main
one , is the favorite , and is in Oxford
street , immediately in the vicinity of the
British museum , oil the next street run
ning parallel to the ono on which is the
museum. Let mo remind you , by the
way , that were the books , or rather the
bookshelves , or the museum stretched
out in line their length would bo over 100
miles. There arc In all something like
lr > 0',030 ) volumes. A copy of each book
published In London must be deposited
in this treasure trove of literature. Butte
to return to Mudie's. Ono guinea per
annum , about $5 , entitles the subscriber
to takes out ono 1 > O3K at a timo. This
annual sum is increased according to the
number of books desired at each selec
tion.
tion.Then there is the London library , 12 St.
Jamca' square. From this library , called
the St. James library , you may take
eight books a day ; this costs three
guineas a year.
Then there is the W. C. Smith & Sons ,
18) ) Strand , near the noted Charing Cross
railway station , which station is live min
utes' walk from the National gallery , off
Pall Mall , fronting Trafalgar square. W.
C. Smith was the character study for Sir
Joseph Porter. K. O. B. , so wittily satir
ized in Gilbert & Sullivan's ' famous
comic opera of "Pinafore. " Mr. Smith
has been secretary of war. and was sec
retary of the navy , or lirst lord of the ad
miralty , now leader of the house of com
mons.
Mudio's is patronized chiefly by novel
readers. It is one of the sights of Lon
don to sco people Hocking into this'placc ,
and at stated times to watch the packages
of books being done up to send all over
the kingdom , not only Kngland , but Ire
land , Scotland , and Vvalos being yearly
patrons ol MudioV who have their own
express , like our American expresses , en
gaged m the safe conveyance of books to
their hundreds of readers. If you pay
live guineas ( or $25) ) per year you may
take out twenty-five volumes at a time
during thoyear. Kvcry few months they
have a safe of books at absurdly low
prices. In London and the suburbs they
deliver books through town agents , called
the "London Book Society. " Each year
a catalogue for subscribers is published
at Is 6d. , or 'M cents. This is over 300
pages of good size. The clerks at Mudio's
are most polite. T hey arc. as at the Brit
ish museum , mainly gentlemen of good
family , who thus seek to augment a small
income. Many an antiquarian stands
behind one of Mudio's counters.
The St. James library is richly stocked
with books of roforenco. Indeed , it is a
sort of second British museum. People
go there to read the magazines , news
papers , and whatever books they care to
consult. The atmosphere is studious ,
the rooms admirably ligntcd and venti
lated. The time given m which to read anew
now book ono published within a year-
is fourteen days from the day it is-tekon
out. At Smith's in the Strand wo do not
sec such an aristocratic list of subscrib
ers as at the St. James. Smith's is a fav
orite library for clerks of a bettor sort ,
and of reporters for newspapers the
people , in fact , to whom "knowledge is
power" in that they make it so. If the
library has no particular book it cheor-
* ully obtains it when asked.
"Grosvenor" is musical
Tno a library
mainly. People go there , road , ascend
the stairs , gaze at pictures , and descend
ing get luncheon or dinner as they choose
atthoGrosvonor cafe or ton rooms under
neath. The cafe is a favorite rendezvous
for members of the library. With nil due
propriety ladies may make it a place of
meeting. Lot mo observe parenthetically
'it is usuallg bad form for ladies to make
Appointments at public restaurants in
London. Pastry cooks' shops and library
cafes arc guile the proper thing. Sub
scriptions to all the club privileges of
the library vary from ono to four guineas
a year. The latter allows of eight books
at a time , together with the use of the
rcferonce-l ibrary nnd writing rooms. It
has often been asked , whv do Knglish
writers choose to publish their books in
three volumes ? Well , as each prominent
library takes out 1,000 copies of now
books by wnll-known writers , the ques
tion is easily solved.
There are public libraries , such as the
Bothnal Grcon , the Birkbock library , and
Scientific Insitution. The Birkbcck is
on Chancery Inne , near the haunts of law
clerks and lawyers ; the British museum ,
already referred to ; Guik''inll library , in
London city proper , and not far off Sion
College library , London wall , mainly
patronized by clergymen , and rich in
ecclesiastical lore ; St. Pancras library ,
Workingmen's College library , in Great
Orinondstreot , round about Mudio's , and
the same in South London at Kensington.
There are sixty-eight district libraries ,
and there are numberless penny reading
rooms , even halfpenny ones. Hero , as
the names Imply , you pay the small coin
to read as long as you like. To n certain
extent the penny reading rooms on the
Strand are patronized by all classes , who
drop in and out to road up some desired
point. There are , besides , the "lending
paper shops. " tor a penny you may
have the London Times for an hour ; nlso
other papers nt the same sum. This
paper is a three-penny , or six cent , jour
nal.Thero
There are 400 periodicals , weoklies.oto. ,
and about seventy local or parish papers
with neighborhood news. These parishes
correspond somewhat to our American
political "wards. " The existence of local
papers is the explanation of the fact that
the big dailies generalize in news bud
gets. '
C. V. Baxter , an experienced nnd suc
cessful druggist at DoWitt , Iowa , says
ono family there created an immense
sale for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ,
by using it and recommending it to their
neighbor : , during their seigo of whoop
ing cough , now it soils rapidly on its
merits , it has no equal for coughs , colds
nnd croup.
The Largest Library in tbn World.
By far the largest library m the world
is the Bibliothcquo National at Paris. It
is so largo that nobody knows how many
books it contains. They have never yet
been all catalogued or counted , and when
the classification of n great library tails
behind , it takes some time to got it in
order , especially when no attempt is
made to bring up the arrears. Current
work and new acquisitions are now cat
alogued in this library as received , but
many old collections amongst others ,
the otUcial documents relating to the revolution
elution still Ho unassorted. Mere bulk ,
then , goes for little , unless it is accom
panied with utility. As to this , and as to
the accommodation it provides for read
ers , the French National Library' is a
iohg wav behind the TcnMing teem of the
British Museum , and tv\utons ! restrict
ions and needless formalities meet the
readers al every tunu , ) The cnrllcst nu

The first harbinger of spring trade comes in the demand for light
weight Overcoats. We are laying in of these useful garments such
a variety of kind and quality that the man who cannot make a sat
isfactory choice , must be hard to please. We have them in all shades
and at all prices.
We still have some very choice patterns of heavy and medium
weight Suits and single Pants , which we are selling extremely low ,
far below the cost of manufacture. A majority of them are adapt
ed for all the year round , and to a great many people they would be
even preferable to the light weight summer clothing.
We have just received 1 lot ol 120 Children's Suits CNorfolk style )
with box pleats and belt , in sizes from 4 to 13 years of age. We are
selling them at $1.95. They are a special bargain , and would be
cheap at $3.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price at the
Cor. Douglas and 14th sts. , Omaha.
