THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , APBIL 4. 1887. ROGGEN Will BE ELECTED True InwardncM of the Cause of the Slan- dcrons Opposition of Him , THE JOURNAL'S GRIEVANCES. Convict Ijnbor Commenced on the Cnpltol HtuclentH DccoinltiR Too I'oultrj'iiicn la BcHalnn Another Defective Dill. iFJtOM THE 11EIV8 MSCOI.N The result of the republican primhdcs for Iho city election foreshadows beyond question that at the convention to-day Hon. E. P. Roggen , for four years secre tary of state , will bo nominated for mayor of the capital city. Following this nomination Mr. lloggou will bo elected on Tuesday , and each and all citizens who have a personal knowledge of the man know in advance thai ho will make an honest , incorruptible major , who will give careful and painstaking attention to Iho duties of the ollleo. Mr. Rogajen has seen Lincoln grow from a straggling camlet to a city of 40,000 people ; knows Its wants and necessities ; knows what the people are asking , ami what is nec essary to do to keep the whiicls of pro gress moving. Mr. Roggen further is not n man who can bo bulldo/ed or corrupted , or wheedled into any scheme or plot by which the city might suffer. He has been a tried and trusted official of the republicans of Nebraska for twelve years , and never a shadow has been cast on his record a record that was BO thorough and efficient and honest that ho departed from ofuco practically js poor a man as when ho entered public lire. The vicious slanders and lies of his only enemies in Lincoln , the State Jour nal company , that ho is not a reputable business man , is answered by his clear nnd honest record. In this connect ion the public is entitled to know concerning this warfare that Gore and Hathaway and their few roustabouts are waging on E. P. Roggen. As soulless a gang as over robbed the state of Nebraska In any capacity could take no other course and bj natural and Into to their instincts. Personally Mr. Gere has grievance , because Mr. lloggon , when Hecrotary of state , discharged him from the railway commission because ho was representing his own personal Ideas and plans rather than the principles for which the commission was supposed to bo in existence. Personally Mr. Hathaway has a grievance against Mr. Roggen , because - cause when ho put in a robbing bill for printing house rolls and senate files Mr lloggon , as ono of the printing board , re fused to let any such a character of i contract , and it was roadvortisod and taken nt one-half Hathaway's price by Henry Gibson , of Omaha , who , in doing the work , made money at his figures and saved the slalo over $10.000 from the prices sought to bo gained by Hathaway Those are frozen facts , open proof ol which can bo gained in sixty seconds of timo. These , therefore , are the parties with a grievance who are against Mr lloggon. They are the upper and the lower crust of all the opposition thus far demonstrated. The false cry tha Mr. Roggen is in any way more of a sa loon man than his competitor , Mr. Sawyer yor , emanates from just such personal- injury sources as this , and the Daselcs slander against Mr. Roggon as a businesi man and citizen originates from Iho sam < fountain head of false statements. Wherefore fore , on the eve of election , it is but just that the republicans and the citizens of Lincoln know the truth in regard to the alleged opposition to Hon. E. P. lloggon . for mayor , a man who , nominated for the office by Lincoln republicans , coiucs backed with a four years' vote of conti- donco from the people of the state of Ne braska , who know the worth of the man the capital citv will have for its chief ex ecutive. Mr. lloggon was educated HS a surveyor and civil engineer and followed the profession for years , laying out some of the most prominent sites to-day in Omaha , among thorn being tlio Paxton house corner , the postoffico square , the high school grounds , together with both of Shinn'a additions and a number of others. He was also a soldier , and is now one of the members of the G. A. R , With all this record , with bis intrinsic worth , his long experience , Ids well-known ability , the Journal is now committed to the bolting of Mr. Iloggcn's promised nomination because of the petty , puny spite which , the proprietors - priotors of that paper , as above outlined , cherish for Mr. Roggen. As a republi can paper , which has shouted itself hoarse with admonitions to the people , when its interests were in view , to stand by the party , it now proposes to abandon the theory and the man against whom it has not ono unselfish objection to ilnd. In a word , It is willing to sacri fice thn party of which it claims to bo the exponent to gratify its own selfish aims. The right to bolt a poor republican nom- luce is ono reserved to an * independent and honest republican paper , but the Journal has never boon independent , and its change In tlds Instance is sufficient proof of the dishonesty of its motives. An other proof of the latter fact is the publi cation of a bogus list of signatures to the alleged citizens1 mooting , a number of which were never signed , and many of them are known to bo Mr. Roggcn's I personal supporters. 7 COKVICT LABOR. This morning fifteen convicts will bo put to work cutting stone at the peniten tiary for Iho now capitol. Those men bave boon confined to their cells for some time because of lack of work. They are hired by Stout from Mr. Mosher , to whom the former assigned Ins convict contract some time ago. Ho pays for them a certain rate per day , and this , it is said , is in excess of what ho formerly received himself from the state for their support. This announcement of convicts working upon material which enters into thn construction of the now capitol will cause some surprise , especially to thosn who have become impressed with the idea that hereafter only honest labor waste to bo employed on the now institution. It must bo stilted , however , that this im pression is an erroneous ono. There is nothing in any of the contracts which inhibits the employment , at this time , of convict labor upon the capitol. The re striction does not go into effect until ISS'J , by which lime , Iho capitol , it ft thought , will have been completed. TOO MUCH NOISE. There are too many amateur artillery men , too much cannon and whole moun tains of juvenile enthusiasm in tlio uni versity campus. Matters of tlio slightest import now suggest iv jubilation among the students , unit the jubilation draws out the cannon , and the cannon blares to the annoyance and disgust of tlio resi dents for blocks around. It blared for Church Howe's election last fall until it became known toward morning that it had boon sounding his defeat. Several times since it has been trotted out to disturb the natives and on Saturday night , about the time fond parents were nutting their little ones to Bleep and Urea citizens bad settled down for their evening's road , the hoarse- voiced nuisance was again placed at the disposal of tboso heedless youths. It was m honor of the thousands the institution has lately been granted from the treasury of the stato. The fact of thu matter is , however , that some restrain ing hand should bo laid upon those dem onstrative young men or their toy-gun be muzzled except when itmay be found Bocewarj tot artillery practice or com- mcmomtr ! an oront of national 6f slate importance , rouLTitr. Thn Nebraska State Poultry and Pet Stock nasoci.ition hns just closed an iin- iort.int ) sorius of moutlnca at the Opult liousn in this city. They wcro presided over by U. 11. Watson , while Mr. 11. Heath , of the Nebraska Farmer , acU-d us secretary. It was decided lo hold the npxthhow in this oity in January of next year , and the correapondine secretary was iuithori/od to secure an expert judrjc , to net net on that occason. ( } . F. Holts , Phillip A. ( leorpo and Dr. F. S. lilllinps , of tliis oity , were appointed a com mi It oo to make arrangements for a poultry exhibit at the next state fiUr. A constitution and set of by-laws wcro adopted nnd the association was ordered Incorporated. The oflicer.s of the associ ation are : R. It. Watson , president , Grand Island ; ( I. II.

It seems to bo a settled fact that all the work done by the legislature in the mat ter of the senatorial and legislative ap portionment lias been a wastful expendi ture of ctlort , As mentioned , the bill lias been found sadly defective. It pro vides for but Oil members in the house , when it was thought 100 , the pre-icnb number , had been provided for. Gov ernor Thayer has no't yet signified what action lie will lake with regard to sign ing it , the impression , however , being that ho will allow it to become a law by lapse of time alid Icayo the matter to be adjudicated by the courts. A number of representatives of the counties which ' avc lost in the number of legislators are ore importuning him , ami these with ho dissatisfaction which has nil along eon experienced , will , it is thought , irovcnt him from attaching his name to he bill. PAVEMENTS. The spring is now well advanced , and irct nothing lias been done toward select- ng a pavement for the streets of this city iVlnch are soon to bo improved. As a rule .ho people whoso thoroughfares are to bo improved have no knowl edge as to which is the best kind of pave ment to bo selected , nnd their lack of in- 'ormalion has led to the partial forma- ion of paving rings , the object of which s to spring a style of pavement in which hero are certainly thousands of dollars or the workers. Already some of the papers hero are suggesting a pavement 'n which Omaha has foolishly expended housnnds of dollars , and do not hesitate o speak of it as the ono kind in which -lincoln can afford to invest. It is thought hat there is a method in this delay , and unfortunately that those who pay for the mprovcmcnts are not the ones that are , o be benolittod by the same. NOTES.

How nocchnr Captured nn Audience , Philadelphia Press : Ono of tlio most dramatic events in the oratorical career of Henry Ward Bcecher occurred in Richmond five years ago this spring , dur ing his lecturing tour through the south. The announcement that ho was to lec ture at Mozart hall on "The North and the Soulh" filled Iho old building. It was his first appearance in Richmond since the war , and he was rather doubtfu about the kind of reception ho would get. When ho walked out on the stage ho saw before him a distinguished audience of southerners , including several of the leading generals on Iho losing side. In the fourth row of the orchestra sat General Fitzhugh Leo , and just behind him General Rosser , while near by were ox-Govornor"Extra Billy"Smith and Gov ernor Cameron. No applause greeted the great preacher as ho stopped before the footlights. The ladies levelled their opera glasses at him with cold curiosity , and tlio men coolly ex < pedant. Some hisses from a few row dies in the gallery did not tend to disocl Iho chillncss of the reception. Mr. Beocher surveyed the audience for a moment , and then stopping di rectly in front of Gen. Leo , ho said : "I have soon pictures of Gen. Fitzhugh and I judge that you are the man ; am I right ? " The general , slightly taken aback by this direct address , nodded stifllly , while the audience bent forward breathless with curiosity as to what was going to follow. "i'hcn , " said Mr. Bcechor , his face brightening up , " 1 want to oiler you this riehthand , which , in its own way , fought against you and yours twenty-five years atro , but which 1 would now willingly sacrifice to make the sunny south pros perous and happy. There was a moment's hesitation , ' a moment of death-like stillness in the hall , and then Fitzhugh Leo was on his feet , his hand was extended across the foot lights , and was quickly met by the warm grasp of the preacher's. At first there was a murmur , half of surprise and half of doubtfulness from thu nudienco ; then there was a hesitating clapping of hands , and before Bccchcr had unloosed the hand of Robert K. Lee's nuphow now governor of Virginia- there were cheers such as were never before - fore hoard in old Mo/.art , and though it had been the scene of many a war and political mooting. I'ozzont. No naino is bettor and more pleasantly and widely known than that of Mr. J. A. Pozzoni. For Years ho has made him self famous by the elegant perfumes and complexion powder that bears his name the lattorhaving found its way to th belles of Paris Germany and London Everybody admire beauty In ladies Nothing will do more to produce or enhance hanco it than to use Mr. Posoni's pro parations. Mrs. Sarah Bland , of Worthington , Ind. , claims to bo the oldest person in tlio stato. She was born in Virginia in 1783 , has berne eleven children , ten of whom are living , and according to the Worthington Times has never been sick enough to call a physician. Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthening Cor dial and Blood Purifier , by its vitalizing properties , will brighten palo chocks anil transform a pale , haggard , dispirited woman into ono of sparkling health and beauty. A late snowstorm in Soulhorn Oregon did groal damage to stock and timber. The weight of the snow uprooted largo trees or broke off big branches , strewing tlio ground with the limbs. On Iho sum mit of thu Coast Range the snow was twelve feet deep. Before You Start.

SOME SERPENTINE SPECIMENS. Horn lotulH as diarm * ttnttlcsnako Skins For Jtat Ilibbous AVIso Owls For Houqupts Fire- flics For Jewels. C. F. Holder , writing in llio San Fran cisco Call under date of Los Angeles , March 15 , says : "Ono ol the kings of Franco had a cobweb coat , " said a Los Angeles jeweler , "and the ladies of the day wore gorgeous spiders in their lofty hats , and to judge from appear ances the California horned toad H com ing Into fashion. WhyT Simply because - cause a lady cntno in the store the other day and left orders to have a gold band put around the horned toad she brought in and to have it locked with a small gold padlock attached io\ chain and pin , run ! although I did not nsk any questions I assume that the animal h to bo a hat ornament. I have heard of such llungs bcfoio. The other day , " contin ued the speaker , "I saw a man take his watch from his pocket and upon the end of the double chain swung a small but frisky horned tor.d. So it is evident that tlio littlu animals are in fashion. " ' 1 ho variety of uses to which animals are put , living and dead , is somcwhitt as tounding , and fashion often dictator usages that otherwise would be repug nant to the rcl'mcd taste. Roaring liv ing animals upon the headgear is no now thing is , in fact , as old as any thing. Li/.ards were worn upon thp head by aiiotcnt Egyptians the curious gecko being the ono most commonly used , and in India to-day native women fasten largo living buttcrilies upon their hair. LIVE BEr.TLr-S ON HATS. Some years ago a young woman ap peared at a fashionable Newport hotel , and when out upon the driyo wore upon her hat an enormous alow-moving , living beetle that , like the horned toad referred to , was fastened to a pin by a chainband and padlock. I afterward saw this un fortunate insect in a jeweler's in Now York , whore it had been laid up for re pairs. It was a most disagreeable ob ject but ate its supply of sugar as if it en joyed life. Its owner succeeded in ad vertising herself , whether this was her object or not ; but all pots , come to grief in the and and this proved no exception. Jt so happened that the wearer went to an entertainment out of town ono even ing and to astonish the natives wore the big beetle upon her hat. During the per formance the insect , probably being aroused by the light or heat , began to walkabout and caught the eye of a coun tryman sitting behind , who not up to vagaries of fashion hoarsely whispered so that it was heard all over , "Excuse mo , miss , but there's a bug in your bon net , " and forthwith dashed the unfortun ate beetle to the ground ending its career then and there. In southern countries fin-lies are often utili/.cd for decorative purposes by the ladies of fashion , being especially adapted for garden parties at night , and probably the mo t remarkable eostumo ever scon was worn by a Cuban lady at an entertainment a few years ago. It was a bal masque , mid part of the floor ing was laid in the open air , the bright moonlight being quite sullicient for all purposes She appeared as "Night , " and was almost covered with iindlies , each of which was caught by a delicate silver wire and hold so that its light was plainly been. The eflcot of this display was magnificent , the living lights gleaming and twinkling like so many diamonds. In the north firollies have been often used by ladies to dccorato their hair at night , and a famous fop of Mexico always wore a number about his sombrero. The curious walking-sticks ( mantis ) and the walking leaf are also sometimes used in the countries in which they arc found us decorations. Not only is the living beetle used , but dead beetles are made into studs and pins , the rich Brazilian green varieties being the most valued. In Europe , or rather northern Africa , the scarobuus is esteemed , and models in stone are used as seals and charms. Thousands of these objects are sold to tourists as having boon found in graves and tombs , when in reality they wore manufactured in Now England it is needless to mention the state ) for this trado. LIVE SNAK1.S ON mtAOET.RTS. A few seasons since a young lady np pcarcd at a theater in New lork with a live green snake coiled about her arm. The little creature was perfectly harm less , and with its rich coloring formed an attractive ( ? ) foil. It is needless to say that the fashion did not take , though gold and silver snakes for the wrist , arm and finger are still worn , and , for that matter wcro fnshionublu hundreds of years ago. Some of the most attract ive jewelry of tlio Cheswold collection represented snakes , lions and ether ani mals. The originals were copied by Messrs. Tiffany & Co. , of Now York , and had n remarkable sale and are still fash ionablo. In Colorado I saw a cow boy's sombrero decorated with the slutted skin of a rat tlesnake , the latter being used instead ol a hatband. I presume that the wearer was "Rattlesnake Hill. " Snakcskius are extremely iashionnblo when made into belts and bags , and as book covers they arc not unattractive. So with sharks ; the skyi of certain varieties is used for a number of purposes , as belts , pocketbooks - books , book-binding , etc. It is curious that fish scales are not used more in dec oration. Some are remarkably bcauti ful , especially those of the tarpon , which look more like a trade dollar than any thing else , the silver seemingly having been poured upon them. They are some times niado into chatelaines , and I have heard of a dado being made up of them The tarpon is rightly named the silver king , and is the most beautiful of all its Kind a gleaming mass of silver , and the typo of agility and power. The most successful and ingenious im itations of pearls have been made from a secretion taken from the scales of fishes , a glass base being covered with theE early lustre , making nn almost perfec : E ic-similo of the gem of the ocean. In some of the islands of the South 1'acilio the natives affect in their headgear the curious porcupine fish. This is made into a mask , the spines being left on while the eyes are represented by the eye Htont'.s or oporcuho ot certain shells. A few years ago the Pans dumi-monde began gan a fashion that spread over this country from Maine to California. This was to wear a gold pig as a charm. Whai moaning it had no ono know but golc pigs were manufactured by the thousand but , like the golden calf of old , it has had its day , and ono is inclined to won der whore they have all gone to. The little animal which people persist in call ing the "coral insect" comes into fashion every decade or so. The rich deposit of rod coral is an important item of trade A recent sot of jewelry ordered by an American lady in Paris is said to bo worth a fortune , and the coral was com pletely Incrustcd with valuable diamonds The queen of Portugal has a sot oven more unique nd costly. A few years ago the great conch , or Strombus gigus , came into fashion , ant was cut up Into jewelry , making seta o great beauty. Some that 1 have seen were valued at $500 , but sections of the shells that 1 have cut have always fadei in the sunlight the beauty lies in. the delicate pink hue. The so-called pink pbnrh como from the conch , and are al ways fashionable , an d when set in diamonds mends present a rip It nontrnst. Fo sd coral is made on van , u. objects such as paper-weights and joT ( .j-boxcs , the hard ened surface taking n line polish. TOOS A3 I'l.TS. Thorn is , perhaps , a greater display of 'ashionablo ' caprice in five animals than n dead ones , and their iarts this is es pecially so in regard to pets. Last season every young lady of fashion in thn east iiructed a bfg dog , cither a mastiff or a setter , and dogfaneiiirs could scarcely supply the demand , ailtl largo sums were paid for good dogs. ' 1 he fashion is set in logs by somepno in England generally. If any of the royal family are seen with logs of a certain kind , the brute forth with rises in popular favor , and thou sands of these dogs are sold. The sumo s true to a certain extent In this country , ind at all times the fashion in pets has boon set by society. Pope is said to have started the fashion of keeping spaniels , and his dog Bounce was famed far and near. In a loiter to a friend ho says : "As It is likeness that begets affectionso my fa vorite dog is a little one , a lean one , and none of the finest shape. Ho is not much of a spaniel in his fawning , but has what it might bo worth any man's while ; o imitate him in a dumb , Htirly sort of ( Judncss.that rather shows itself when the thinks mo ill-used by others than when wo walk quietly and peaceably by our ' selves. It it bo the chief point of 'friend ship to comply with a friend's motions md inclinations , he possesses this in an eminent degree , lie lies down when I sit and walks when I walk , which is more ; han many friends can pretend to. " Ho miglit have said or written as another JouUlhl about his dog : Hero rest llio idles of a friend bolmv , Blest with inoie honso tliim hall the folks know : Fond of his ease and to no pu ties prone , lib banned no sect , but calmly cnavted his bone : Performed his functions well In o oiy v > ay 131ush , Chrlsthn , If you can , and copy Tray. Byron nfl'ectcd the Newfoundland , and iis fancy produced a cra/a for Ihese no- jlo dogs , of which ho said ho t sesscd ill the \irtues of man without his vices , llyron was unfortunate \\ith his puts. This ono wont mad , and another a hull mastiff , attacking a horse , was shot iliroiigh the head. In the time of Byron : herc lived a famous dandy who'said hat anything ho might do would bo : aken up by the town , and to prove it ho liunted up the worst mongrel cur ho could li.id , had it shaved very closely , and appeared in public leading what ho termed n hairless dog of China. The next day ho was beset with bequests for the name of the fancier who owned the stocK , and after supplying some of the gentlemen with the dogs ho gave the joke to the public , much to their confu sion. Sir Walter Scott did much to pop ularize dogs , especially -tho nobler breeds , and Cowper's spaniels , Beau and Marquis , had many rivals. OWLS AND AI.URA1OKS. It is quite the thing to have an owl in the library not a live one , but a well Btftitlcd specimen which , if you have not much wisdom yourself , shows that you appreciate it in others ; but why the owl should be taken for thn typo of wisdom it would bo difficult to toll , as they are pro verbially stupid , obtaining their wisdom as do some people , by merely possessing the faculty of keeping still and not let ting people find out how stupid they really aro. A few years ago there was a sudden demand in New York for young alligators , and largo orders were sent to Florida , and hundreds of the reptiles were sent north and sold. Gentlemen sent them to their huly friends , and car ried them about in their pockets. "Why , " said an old gentleman who kept a curiosity store , "I have over tifty alli gators sold , and as I promised to come around and teed some of them it kneus me busy. It's all fashion , an' 1 reokon they'll want to keep whales next. " I'lio establishment of the aquarium in Now York started n craze lor lishes and homo aquaria , and in several private houses these wcro fitted into con servatories in a very effective manner. The espceul demand was for a fish called the king kio Which was mere ly a curiosly sliaped goldfish , the result of a Japanese attempt at breeding. The goldfishes are oxtromelv " prone to mal formations , especially "in the tail , which often spreads out like a fan , ana in the case of ono that I saw hung down like a plume , and being a delicate silvery hue presented a beautiful contrast to the deep .scarlet body. The fish was valued at $500. yet there are people who would willingly have paid this sum to possess it. In China and Japan those fishes arc bred in remarkable shape * , some have three tails , others but ono ray to the dorsal fin , while others have tclcseone eyes. The natives breed them carefully , and have numerous names for them. I'lbll OF TIIKWLACK CHOSS. I once found a remarkable one among a lot of goldfishes taken in the Hudson riverj or rather a little stream or pond running into it. It was what the Japanese called the fish of the black cross. The tail was broad and flat , and down the back was an almost perfect cross ot pure black , presenting a striking contrast to the pink body. The fish soon became perfectly tame ; would rise to the surface to feed , ring a small boll attached to the tank , and perform a number of simple tricks. The Japanese have a fish which they call the iish of the white cross , and in the library ot the Museum of Natural History , Now York , is an old volume containing a number of cuts of these forms , many of which are almost monstrosities. Thou sands of goldfishes wore sold in Now York in 1876 to dccorato rooms , and the fashion is ono that should bo kept up a beautifully colored fish in a fancifully shaped aquarium forming an attractive addition to a library in China years a < jo a small variety of quail w.is used by Chinese ladies of rank to warm thn hands , being hold in them and passcil around to bo potted and enjoyed as a living warm ing-pan. Twenty or thirty years ago it was the fashion to have either a parrot or a monkey , and every East Jndiaman that returned bore its quota of these pots. It is told of a rather illiterate dealer that , wishing to send for two monkeys , ho wrote his order after his own fashion ami spelled the word two "too" without crossing the "t , " and when the ship re > turned ho was horrifiell m being pro suntcd witli 100 monkeys' . The fashion in birds has been carried to such an ex tent that , according to the American Ornithologists' union , many of our com mon birds are threatened with extermin ation , and the most stnngont rules are being taken to prevent itho slaughter. Fashion demands that feathers shall bo worn , and consequently birds of all kinds are brought to market aud , dyed to meet the requirements. Even eggs are used , especially those of the ostrich , being sus pended by a slender card in halls , to carry out the idea of tho'fabled ' egg of the roc. that hunz in ono of the hells dcs cnbcd by Sinbad , One Afent ( Mtrrnant onlrl w Evorjbody wants "Tanalll's runoh" 5o cl ar now ; they were always Kood but of late * they have Improved. 1 heartily approve of your way of doing Dullness , you are sure to bold and Increase your trado.
