[ FJIOM THE DEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU. ]
The plans ot the State Journal company
to fence in the city of Lincoln for pur
poses of rovcngo nnd self enrichment ,
personally , have thus far worked with
all the success that the most cunning
hand could deviso. A sublime spectacle
in presented n paper that has laid claim
to all that was pure and unadulterated
iu its own party going out as a wet nurse
for a city ticket made up of every possi
ble political element , neither fish , ilcsh
nor fowl. The Journal as'sumed a great
deal in thus going out to service. It has
walked into the democratic back door
without knocking with all the familiarity
of one born a family servunt in that
household. ' 'It is a good , clean , honest
ticket , " says the Journal of the citizens' '
ticKet , which is aa warm an endorsement
as it ever gave a ticket of its own party
in all its existence , In this procedure ft
avers that the republicans of .Lincoln ,
having 1,000 of all majority , is not capa
ble of putting up a clean , honest ticket ,
and that a twenty-one star chamber com'
xmttco , n majority of whom were demo
crats , have done bettor for the public
than the rank and iilo republicans of Lin
coln are capable of doing. It is an oxhil-
orating spectacle for republicans who
1 have helped the Journal iu its
schemes for years to look upon ,
but it is withall the legitimate
outcome for an institution that has boon
buildcd upon state printing steals and
has gorged itself at the public crib of the
city for years. If any think that the
Journal has crawlocf in between the
Bhoots alongside of bourbons , with moss
BIX inches long on their backs , who are
* on the "citizens' " ticket , for nothing ,
: they are greatly mistaken. The firm oi
Gore & Hathaway has not plundered this
long to bo caught in that way , and it
confidently expects in this somersault to
have SOD on both sides of its broad hero-
aftor. It has in its scheme fixed things
so that if success can bo gamed the city
printing will bo sure for ft. Its city cir
culator is the nominee for city treasurer ,
and this is no doubt gratifying to the
banking wing of the Journal company.
The executive head of the ticket can
bring no possible offense to the railroad
section of the Journal company , and
democratic and republican prohibition
ists are sandwiched into the ticKet in suf
ficient numbers to satisfy any conscience
the concern can have in that lino. It will
now be amusing to son the Journal com
pany attempt to elect this ticket , through
which it expects to own the city govern
ment for a couple of years. Itlias in ado
ono break toward it by the threats of
fered the gamblers by ono of its
proprietors , and it will proba
bly turn around aud threaten
the prohibitionists that if they do not sup
port the ticket it will causn whisky to run
in streams in the city and have an ordi
nance passed requiring all citizens to
purchase a certain amount of the btufl'
dally under pains and penalties of im
prisonment. With a campaign Inaugur
ated of this character the Journal com
pany may be able to raKe from the hro
the entire chestnut crop for years. It is
such- stalwart concern.
DIVORCE AND COURT.
District court transacted little or no
business yesterday , but the customary
dlrorco case was tiled with all the ntgu-
i r Jty of the rising of the sun. This case
i brought by India Strong against Wil
liam O. Strong , her Luibaud. 1'to poll-
4onor recites that taoy wra married m
Platte county in 1834 , that a year had not
mssed until she was subjected to boat-
ngs at the hands of her nusband , and
hat during the month of February just
) asscd she was beaten until she was un-
ibie to work for days. The plaintiff
urther states that she has supported her
self since 1885. With the petition is filed
ho answer of the husband , who denies
the allegations and will light the case.
STATE HOUSE MOTES.
At the auditor's office the Insurance
Company of Pennsylvania has complied
with the state insurance laws andoccn
admitted to transact business in Ne
braska. The Louisville Underwriters , of
Louisville , Ky. , has applied for the nec
essary blanks and papers upon which to
make a showing for admission to Ne
braska business.
The state treasurer is busy these days
cashing warrants for members and em
ployes on the balance of their salaries.
Tho'appropriation bills to cover these ex
penses have just become laws and the
auditor states that they will be more than
suilicienl to cover all , so there need be
no crowding to get to the cash window.
ABOUT THE CITY.
The prohibitionists of the city held
their convention yesterday afternoon
and nominated a complete city ticket.
The convention was held at the Metro
politan rink and was largely attended
and very enthusiastic. Sixty-throe delegates -
gates were the quota , and Ueorgo .
Bigolow presided , with H. C. Blttonben-
der as secretary. The committee on res
olutions consisted of T. C. Pace , A. 6.
Wolfenbarcrer. L. ' Helmor , Eliaa Baker

A city central committee of two from
each ward was selected , with Fred A.
Harvey as chairman. The members of
the convention expressed a belief that
the prohibitionists would poll 1,200 votes
for thin ticket , which is generally conceded
coded to bo n very commendable one.
and will command the unanimous vote of
the third party.
Frank McGuire , who assaulted Charles
Meyer with a coupling pin , has had his
triaLin district court and has been sent
over the hill to the penitentiary for a
terra of five years. McGuire was one ol
the toughest toughs that over invaded
the city and he has , judging from com
ments , met no more than his just des

An parly morning lire yesterday re
moved two old and unsightly old frame
buildings on P btrect on tuo north side ol
tliii government square. The location
was adjoining Carr'a bloctr , aud the
buildings were veritable fire-trapi. They
will undoubtedly be replaced by substan
tial bricks. The loss was light and a
small amount of insurance involved.
In the district court , in thu trial of the
case of the State against Catliu , some o :
the witnesses swore that the complaining
witness , Berry , was drunk. Evidence
contradicting this was introduced and
an old acquaintance of Mr. Berry ai

Champion of Nebraska.
Ed BullocK won the title to the cham
pion bicycle rider of Nebraska at the ex
position bnilning last night by defeating
Charles W. Aslnnger , of Denver , in one
of the most hotly contested races ever
witnessed in Omaha. The race was wit
nessed by about 1,000 people , whoso in
terest in the sport was greater than their
terror for the most disagreeable kind of
weather. The men started on their fifty
mile race at 8 o'clock , both appearing in
excellent shape and evenly matched.
Ashingor took the lead at thu start and
set the pace for the first twenty miles
with Bullock close on his wheel. The
leader made one or two ineffectual at
tempts to spurt away from his opponent
and then settled down to a stubborn test
of speed and endurance. At the turn of
the twentieth mile Bullock took the lead
and kept it. Ho made a wicked pace and
rolled oQ'the miles in a decidedly rapid
manner.As the race nearcd completion the
speed of the contestants and the interest
of the audience increased alike. At the
pistol shot for the last mile the men Bet
out at a lightning speed with Bullock in
the load. After the fifth lap of the last
mile the issue of the contest was in
doubt. Ashingor caught up with Bullock
aud on the long stretches for throe laps
rode oven with him , the handle bars of
their champion semi-racers almost
touching. On the curves , however ,
Bullock would gain a few feet. This con
dition of a flairs continued until the last
lap , when the mon kept exactly oven ,
Bullock hugging the posts alarmingly
close , with Ashingcr on his right at the
very edge of the raised turns. There was
no room for fouling or crowding , and
the contest was purely one of speed. By
ono tremendous effort Bullock made a
forge ahead aud passed the scratch
eighteen inches in the lead. The finish
was so close that the majority of the
spectators were in doubt as to who won
the race until Thomas Blackmore. the
referee , announced his decision giving
the race to Bullock. The announce
ment was received with expressions
of approval and gave universal satisfac
tion. The score for each five miles was
as follows :

& AI. railroad has allowed , will leave
that depot at 1 o'clock p. in. Wednesday

an opportunity to see the troops of Fort
Omaha at their practice as well as , later
m the season , the department division

PAVING SIXTEENTH. STREET.
A Councilman Explain * the Non-Pas
sage of an Ordinance.
There is no little dissatisfaction ex
pressed in certain quarters because the
council failed to pass the ordinance last
Tuesday night , that piovides for the pav
ing of South Sixteenth street. Some per
sons go so far as to claim that the defeat
of the measure was duo to "starlight"
work of a certain clique iu the city coun
cil.
cil.One
One of the counoilmon who was asked
about the matter yesterday said. "There
was no skullduggery about the defeat of
the ordinance. The only reason that it
wasn't passed was because the necessary
papers and petitions were not ready and
the work of paving could not be com
menced without a good deal of delay.
The council has some available money
ready and this it wants to use just as
soon as the weather will permit , When
the proper time comes and the proper
papers are presented Sixteenth street
will be paved. "
Miss Field's ticotnro.

seats 75 cents and gallery 25 cents.
The Cleveland Leader pays a great
tribute to Miss Field in the following :
'Miss Field is now to the lecture plat
form what Patti is to the lyric stage-
simply peerless , and perfect , and unap
proachable. She has that extraordinary
balance of the intellectual and artistic
forces that enables her to make her lee
turo ot superb literary quality , and to
deliver it with faultless grace of manner
and impressiveness of presence , so to
speak , that wo have never soon equaled.
In Miss Kato Field America has a woman
Worthy to bo called an orator. "

Thn Itlvor.
At 0 o'clock yesterday evening th
river stood at twenty feet above low
water mark nnd was slowly rising. Tha
Union Pacific reports indicate that the
river is htatlouary at Blair aud falling al
Sioux City. This would seem to indicaU
that the worst is over. Alongtho bot-
toins the scene is ono of animation. Tha
railroad companies are making active
preparations for the safety of their truck *
against the invading floods. Thu lum-
bormcn are preparing for a big riaa
and aru taking ovity prcctiution against
having their property floated uway by
the water should the worst come. Par-
haps the most anxious people ou the bottoms -
toms are the squatters. Already tha
water has risen .so that a rise ot but two
or three foot moro will bring ItatiLa
very doors of many of these shanties. A
rise of five feet moro will bring dtitolaUoa
to hundreds oi these place * .
