THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY * JUNE J28. 1887 , CAIIFORNIAKAMOAD RATES Jiincola Merchants Preparing a Test Case Against the Union Pacific. JTHE MISSOURI PACIFIC REPLIES. fctryclmlnc In tlio Sugar Howl Pol- sons n Whole Colored Iloartllns llonsc School Expenses Capital Now * frnost inn nr.n's MXCOI.V The foundation Is laid for a test case in lho way of California rates that will drop upon the Union L'aclllc in a few days for Bcttlomcnt. The Lincoln freight bureau , through Mr. Utt , its commissioner , evi dently means business , nnd the plan of work on California rates is us follows ! { The present week the wholesalers of this clly , or a part of them , will receive fif teen car loads of sugar direct from the west that are now eu route over the Union Pacific. When tlicic car load lots reach Lincoln the consignee's will tender the Union Pacific company tlio regular tUallfornia-Omaha rate , which , at pres ent , is 00 cents per 100. If this rate is re fused by the company then the liftcon cars of sugar will bo roplovined and the ptiso brought directly to the courts for ad judication. The valuu of this shipment is estimated to bo some $110,000 , and it Will bo seen that it will financially bo a case of no small magnitude as well as a test casn. Ono reason why the Lincoln parties directly interested bcliovo they nro right and will win is that while the Inter-state law is supposed to do away with pools , that ainco April the B. & M. railroad has refused to ac cept car load shipments from the coast for points along their line , Lincoln in eluded , and this is believed to be a com vitiation between the two roads to de Btroy competition and deprive Lincoln of the benefit of it shorter haul than Omaha 'on coast shipments which it would have on goods shipped over the Burlington. lit is also stated by a member of the ircicht bureau here that the B. & M. is in 2J combination on St. Louis car load traf fic to Lincoln and that the road since April 5 has refused to take car load lots lor Lincoln shipments from that point. The stand taken iu the matter of Califor nia shipments will , as before slated , bring the matter to the courts direct and the case will be onu of much interest to parties on both sides. In this matter the bureau has consulted Jucgo Coaloy , of the inter-state commission , nnd it is be lieved on the outaido that the action has not been taken without a favorable view of it being expressed by the judge and the commerce commission. THE MISSOUllI I'ACIKIO ItEPLlHS. In reply to the communication from the board to the Missouri Pacific railway regarding Lincoln rates the following has been received : ST. Louis. Mo. , Junn 25 Messrs. G. L. Lewis and William Lee.se , Itallroad Com missioners Gentlemen : Wo are In iccelpt of your favor of the ICtn In relation to the dif ferentials existing as between Lincoln nnd Omaha , and note your request thnt tlio rates from St. Louis and other points on this line be made alike to both places. The conclu sions reached by your board wcro evidently based upon the mileage between St. Louis nnd those points helm ; practically the same , and the Missouri Pnciiic mileage to Omaha , 480 miles , being used Instead of the distance by the short line ( the Wabash road ) , 411 rnllc.H. If rates to the two cities from St. Louis were based wholly upon mileage , tlio differentials now In cITect would not bu ma terially changed. While the Omaha rate from -St Louis Is uindo on the short line mileage , via the W abash road , you . can readily understand that the longer line ( our road ) , has to carry nt the same rates to secure any of that trulllc. Wo understand that the principal complaint of the Lincoln merchants trows out ot additlonnf coils to them on business from the east Into Lincoln , and distributed thence to the western points over similar trafllo from the east Into Omaha and thence to the same destination , and are advised that at least ono of the roads reach- Inn territory-west ot Lincoln nnd west of Omaha Is now preparing n tar I It out ot Lin coln which will change the present situation and do away with many If not all of the differences now existing to the territory reacted by thnt lino. This action on the part of t it conrrAiny may bo followed by the other roads leading west from Lincoln. We are now conferring with all the roads inter ested In Lincoln trnlllc with n view of con summating an arrangement which will be entirely satisfactory to the Lincoln people. Inasmuch an competotlvo rates are made by agreement , the necessity of Which Is doubtless apparent to your boards , you will fully realize and appreciate the In expediency of our taking nny notion In this matter other than by ngreemont of the sev eral roads Interested In that trafllo If nn agreement can be reached , or at least until wo have heard from the other lines what policy they will adopt. With assurnne.'s that the subject shall bo given prompt atten tion that thrro may bo nn early disposition of It , Very respectfully yours , S. H. U. CI.ARK , Vice President.

The family and the boarders are colored people and on Sunday they passed through an experience that came very nearly costing the lives of all of them , especially of the girl , who was not out ol danger until yesterday. The cause was ascertained to bu that the whole family had been poisoned bv strychnine thai had been placid in the family sugai bowl in liberal < iuantties. ! A free use ol emetics helped the family out and a dls carded lover ot the girl is suspicloncd a : thn poisoner , but no arrests have been made. SCHOOL EXVENSRS.

Weld in Popular Science Monthly for July ! Some may Btill ask , is a canal or a snip railway worth build ing after ill ? liven Admiral Ammcn in timated doubts as late in 1079 , after the Paris uonnress , as to whether the tlmo had comu to cut the isthmus. It may not bo him ! to satisfy ourselves on this point. In a report submitted to the navy department in 1800 Ity Admiral ( J. 11. Davis , an estimate is Riven of the tonnage which would have used a canal had ono been in existence , as well as tdo loss in- lliclcd upon commerce because of its lack. The former estimate is 3,091,070 tons , which agrees pretty well wito the estimate of the Paris congress for the year 1871) ) , if we assume the rate of annual increase from 1SOO to 187U which the congress adopted. Admiral Davis's estimate of the loss annually expo rlenced by commerce was if 17,5530,203. These estimates , made over twenty years 111:0 , would bo evidently too low for 1887. Iut ! even should wo assume that in tlio course of tiio past twentyliveyears no increase of trallic had occurred , a result sullicicntly surprising would bo arrived nt. The loss to commerce in four years would amount to $2,000,000 , about the cost of tiio Panama canal according to tlio estimate of lho Paris congress. This simple calculation shows the imoortanco of the work. Mr. Higclow , in his report already quoted , says with reference to the Panama canal : "Wero all nations to contribute towards its production in tiny emiitablo proportion to the advant ages they would derive from it , the stock would be as dltlicult to obtain as the golden apples of Atalauta.

WIRE FENCE AND BLIZZARD , These Two Are Reported to bo Causing a Revolution in the Business of Raising Cattle. The Hills Country of Uncommon Value for Grazing Because of the Nutritious- ness of the Grass * Sonio Miners liocome Itnncliors Money In Systematic , Intelligent 1'rosccutlou ofUrccUlne. Custcr City ( Dak ) letter to St. Paul CJlobo ! Reports from the Juno round-ups thus far generally confirm the early opin ions of heavy losses , so far as concerns the northern ranges of Dakota , Wyoming and Montana , and for the Central and Southern hills the reports are favorable. Tiio difference iu results was anticipated by all who know the different conditions of the ranges. Southern ranges have not been so heavily stocked as in the north ; the herds on the former are smaller and better cared for in winter ; the country , as far sotttli and cast as the Cheyenne , benefits by being under tlio lee of the Black Hills. There is a dif ference of fifteen degrees in the mean temperature of the Southern and North- trn hills. Cattle men have received evcro lessons on the tendency of busi- icss toward smaller bunches , closer icrding and winter feeding. The wire eneo and blizzard are rovolutioni/.uig the business. A FAVOUr.l ) OKA7.INO COUNTRY. There is a favored grazing country in side the hills which , if limited , has ad vantage of permanency , safety and rich ness ; n favorable opening to men of small capital. Tlio valleys and parks that make ip over half of the Black Hills area are ipon lands reserved by the government 'or mineral purposes , and hence not open for pre-emption and enclosure. They ire likely to remain open ranges for Tinny years , if not for all time. There is mrdly n 1GO aero stretch of it that does not include mineral land , and except one section in the southwestern corner of nustor county. It has not been surveyed. No man can got title to any of it except iiy taking up placer claims , doing $500 worth of work in mining them , and going to the expense of patenting and paying $3.50 per acre , all of which would bring the cost up to $7.50 an acre , a price that would buy improved ranches in the loot-hills. The small patches that are fenced in now are held only by squatters' title , and these are occupied by small farmers and constitute but a small part of these mountain parks. The hills are of uncommon value for glazing , because of the extraordinary nutritfousncss of the grass , green or self-cured , the abundance and purity of the water , shel ter from winds and light snow and mild winters. Stock thrives and docs not wander far. These are not the only ranges I have seen where il is no Dakota exaggeration to say that stock turns out intlio spring as well conditioned ns in the fall it went in. Nor Is the extent of the feed measured by the open land , for the timbered parts nro moro or less OHASSEI ) TO THE MOUNTAIN" TOPS. The pine forests are quite open. Ono can drive n buck-board for miles through the woods whore there is no trail ; nnd this forest is much of it covered with grass to the roots of the trees. A not too aistant view of these mountain slopes at this season present a beautiful varie gation and contrast of black-green against n background of bright green grass showing through the trees. The parks themselves arc as treeless as il some mighty police had enjoined the rook-loving pines to "keep oil the grass" not the only respect in which these lovdly stretches suggest a city-kept park. They look moro like the art of the land scape gardner than the work of nature. MINEUS TUUN KANCIIEllS. It is the ambition of the Hills miner and prospector to own a horse ranch and settle down ns soon as ho makes a stake. Several of tbo fortunate owners of tin properties that have been sold here within the past year have thus invested their gains , fencing in a little homo plot and letting their stock range tbo free-to- all. You will hoar encouraging reports of the geometrical increase of their herds around Custcr. "There is the best mine I over owned , " said an old minor , pointing to a baud of horses hun dreds of feet above us. But there are always men of this class who tire of so lazy and slow an occupation and pine for the excitement of gold hunting , nnd they will sell improvements , stock and squat ter's rights cheap. Ono such sola his herd at $33.50 a hcaa , calves thrown in. Horses pay a bettor margin , but do not give returns ns soon as cattlo. An ex perienced horse rancher advises to buy a bunch of laige-boned , solid , stocky mares and breed with a small fast stal lion like Morgan or Ilambletoniau , and have AN EXPEUIENCED HOUSEMAN to break the colts to saddle and harness , paving paricular attention to training for a last walking gato.so valuable for these hill roads. He said a man oould make a good start in the business and meet ex penses until returns began to come , with $10,000 capital , but ho must give his per sonal attention to it at frequent intervals if he does not live on the ranch. 1 can not imagine a plcasantor climate or moro romantic surroundings of life , if ono can put up with isolation from sacioty. Cer tainly there is not a moro lovely , enjoy able spot outside of Bouquotto valley , in the Adironflacks than this. The charms of these valleys and advantages for graz ing nro little known , and but few are engaged in the business hero , except people who came iu after gold and went into stock "on the side , " as they say. Out in the foot-hills there are a few horse ranches who make a business of it. A company of titled Frenchmen are breeding Arab stock on the Flour-do- Lvs ranch , out on Lame Johnny Crook ; there areisovoral considerable horse out fits around Buffalo Gap and Rapid City ; and most ranches dabble in horses as well as cattlo. But the systematic , intel ligent prosecution of breeding for market Is a neglected business. FIUEMAN TO THE FOIIE. Tito interest in tlio tournament of the Black Hills firemen's association , to beheld held at Load City July 4-7 , is extraordi nary now. There are ton companies in the association , and tlio liberal purse offered for the free-for-all hose race will attract outside companies. Ono of these , J. C. Clcland hose company , of Fremont , Neb. , has a record for speed that is mak ing the local footers feel a little shaky in anticipation. Tbo people all through the hills are taking an interest in , and con tributing money to , and betting on these races with as much earnestness as if all this training was for the extinguishment of eternal tires for the bencgt of all of them. There will not be much holiday spirit in any of it forjanybodyjudglug by the dead earnest feeling that everybody is working up in the matter. There came near being a bad break in the allalr ia consequence of a plan to change the tournament from Lead City to Duadwood , but when it came to a count of noses on the board of control of Iho association , Dcadwood did not have votes enough. The affair was awarded to Lead City in a competitive bid after ample notice , and to have sneaked it away from her would have caused a "wiot , a wiimpus and a wow" that would havo'givon your corre spondent plenty of sensational material. The feeling of rivalry between companies and.localities fs intense enough now , and ft will require chivalry an'd cool-headed- ness tilei'.rry the allnlr , through without rcadifll the riot act. INSANITY IN TUE 1IIL1.S. ' The frequency of cases lor the Yankton asylum hereaway la exciting comment. Dementia is quite prevalent all over Da kota , and the Yankton institution is over crowded , but there RQOHIS to bo more tendency thctcto in the hills In proportion tion to population. Tno isolation of ranching and prospecting , "baching , " exposure , meager diet , nervousness In duced by high ultttudc's.etc. , nro adduced ns contributing causes. There may bo special causes in the hills in the tension of mining excitementsmul , the reaction of disappointments as to results. I never saw an American compitinity so intense , up-strung , and so little given to fun and recreation. The fierce contest of tiro- men , above referred to , is the Black hill's idea of relaxation. But it is very much the idea of'sport that prevailed among our very forefathers , when a joust at which a score of knights were killed and a hundred wounded was called "a gentle and joyous passago-at-arras. " Dyopepsln Makes the lives of many people misera ble , and often leads to self-destruction.

Give Hood's Sar- sapurilla a fair trial. It will do you good. IT WAS HIS WEDDlTTc NIGHT. Amos F. Carpenter is Compelled Through a Woman to Post pone the Ceremony. Providence Special t the Boston Glebe : Amos F. Carpenter , an employe of Karl Carpenter & Son , of this city , is just at present in a state of mind hard to de scribe , being in the anomalous situation of not knowing whether ho is married or not , and , moreover , ho will not beablo to determine the question until the supreme court passes upon it. The situation is this : Five years ago , Mr. Carpenter being then a widowcr.rnarricd a Miss Jennie Woodoll. of North Foster , R. I. , and it is intimated that ho did not enter into the contract of Jus own free will ; but , however that maybe bo , certain it is that ho did not live with her long , or contribute to her support. With thuso two facts as a basis of com plaint the supreme court some time since ssucd a decree of divorce to the woman. A short time ago Mr. Carpenter con sidering himself free from martial tics' , began to pay court to another lady , by whom ho was accepted , and the marrf- ugo was to have taken place last evening but the intervention of an injunction from the supreme court caused a post ponement. It seems that the prospective bride had an officious relative in the government service who was opposed to dor mam- ago with Carpenter , and ho took stops to stop the ceremony. As a result of his offorts.as is supposed , the divorced Mrs. Carpenter yesterday appeared at the county 7 court and asked for a writ to stop the marriage of her husband. She claimed.that . she did not sign the petition for the divorce , but when n comparison of her writing with the signature showed-tho chirography the same , she dcclared'that ' she did not know what she was signing , and was very much astonished when she read the decree in the papers , as she did not want a divorco. ' On her petition , a writ was issued com manding Mr. Carpenter to appear and show cause why the divorce should not bo set aside. The paper was at once given toj a deputy sheriff , and then the only question was.fWould the oilicer find his man before the ceremony cauin off ? Mr. Carpenter was'.away on an ice route , delivering the srigld comfort , lit tle knowing of the cold chunk which was in store for himself , and it was not until ho was returning to dross for the mar riage that ho came across the officer who was seeking him. It is impossible to describe the emo tions of the bridegroom to be , hut llko n good citizen ho respected the mandate of the court and set out for the bride's homo to explain and aslc for a postpone nient.

Gardener , in Popular Science Monthly for July : A man may now. if he is careful and wise in the choice of a company , insure his lifeor , if insured.ho may have the temerity to die , without a fair-grounded expectation of leaving his family n lawsuit for a legacy. He may also bo reasonably sure that he is not placing his own reputation ( after ho is unable to defend it ) at the mercy of a powerful corporation intent upon saving its funds from the inroads of a just debt. And I question if it is too much to say that , given enough money , a strong mo tive , and a powerful corporation on the ono hand , and only a ( sorrowing fam ily on the other , and no man over lived or died whoso reputation could not bo black ened beyond repair , after ho was himself unable to explain or refute seeming irregularities of conduct or dishonesty of motivo. No man's character is invulner able , and no man's reputation can afford the strain or test of such a contest. Mil lions of dollars have been withhold from rightful heirs by throats of an exposure the moro vague the moro frightful of the unexpected crimes or misdeeds of the bolovcd dead. Thousands of cases never known to the public have been "compromised , " and hundreds of heart aches and unjust suspicions and fears about the dead , which can never bo corrected , are aroused in sorrowing but loving breasts by this method of doing "business. " It is , of course , of the utmost importance that every precaution bo taken by lifo insur ance companies to.protect the funds hold by them , ia trust for others , against fraud and trickery.QBut Olwlth the agent , the examining physician , the medical directors , andttho inspectors all employed by , aim answerable to the com pany represented , one or all of these paid officers must almost , of necessity , bo party to that fraudf i With all those safeguards in the handsof the company , if a man is accepted asa "good risk , " if lie pays his premiums , surely his family has the right to expect a legacy and not a lawsuit , nor a "cqra'promiso" which must cast reproach on the dead.

Father McDermott , of St. Mary's Catholic church of that city , to say mass at Iho funeral of a deceased parishioner , named Twohlf ; , while members of the A. O. H. of which Twoulg was one , wore present. This circumstance recalls an episode in the career of the same reverend gentle man , who six years ago was pastor of St. Phllomona's cathedral in this city. He was a young man of exceeding piety and ability , and had just arrived from Pennsylvania , whcro , ns the dispatch justly states , ho had been prom inently identilied in administering spirit ual consolation on the scaffold to a num ber of tlio Molly Maguires. He was an avowed and fearless opponent of secret societies , and especially so of the A. O. II. , which society ho charged in effect with being opposed to the teaching of the church , and , in fact , to have aided in the commission of the crimes which had previously disgraced the mining districts of Pennsylvania. His attack aroused the indignation of tlio members of the order in this city , some of whom arc leading and most edifying members of the Catn- olic church. To them , the society was nn Irish Catholic Benevolent association , every feature of which they warmly supported. As a consequence , they took l > ains to enlighten Father McDcrmott ns o the objects of the order , going so far us to submit to him a copy of its consti tution and by-laws. This , however , was without ho desirott ellect. It only brought out a series of Sunday night lectures in denunciation of the body , whilu not asserting that the members in tliis city had connived at tlio murders committed in Pennsylvania , he nevorthe- 'ess saiil they were members of the or ganization , tlio machinery of which had been used to accomplish and tlio secrosy of which to conceal the atrocities re- rcrred to. Ono Sunday at 10:30 : o'clock , n his sermon , ho took occasion to reply to a parishioner who had sent liini a marked paper setting forth that Archbishop Purcell , of Cincinnati , had admitted tlio A. O. II. to Ins cathedral and delivered an address to them on the occasion of ono of its anniversaries. In reply , Father McDcrmott bitterly at tacked tlio aged prelate by a reference to the financial troubles into which ho liad previously fallen. Bishop O'Connor , ivho was present in the sanctuaty at the time , rebuked the speaker and twice or dered him to make no further allusion to the aged prolate. This led to an estrangement - trangomont between Father McDcrmott ana the bishop , which shortly after re sulted in the return of the former to Pennsylvania. Tlio dispatch tells that ho is still fight ing the A. O. II. There is little doubt that members of the order wcro con victed of some of the crimes committed n the mining regions , and every mem ber of the order is willing to admit this fact. But they claim that to make the society responsible for deeds of outlawry committed by individuals , when tlio aim of the association is all that is laudable , was a mistake and an injustice ot the greatest kind. The Catholic synod of Nebraska , which as sembled in the cathedral in this city , on the first of last March , the same place in which Father McDermott's denunciation was made , unanimously endorsed the A. O. H. in this state. A coincidence of this event is found in the fact that almoit at the time Father McDcrmott was inveigh ing against the order in Pennsylvania , 500 of its members m this city were tak ing part by special request in a proces sion on the occasion of tlio laying of the corner stone of St. John's Catholic church , iu this city. To be Xaken to Secure a Quiet Obser vance oftho Sabbath. A meeting of the clerical Sunday ob- bervanco association , of which Bishop Worthington is president , A. F. Slier- rill vice president , and W. J. Harsha , secretary , was hold at the Episcopal rooms , Paxton block yesterday morning nt 10:30. : Twelve ministers were present. In the absence of the president and vice president. Mr. Harsha took the chair. After a discussion it was resolved to peti tion the mayor and council of the citv to enforce the state law against playing base ball and other games on Sunday. A further resolution was unammouslv adopted that the association request the mayor to exercise his authority for the purpose of closing up dunce houses , beer aruens , music halls and saloons on unday. It was also resolved that the association will do all iu its power to secure from railway offices , banks , whole sale houses , and all other employers a half holiday for their employes on Satur day , and , with the view to carrying this resolution into effect , committees will bo appointed at the next general meeting to wait upon the employers of labor and urge upon thorn the necessity of closing their business houses on Saturday after noon. The meeting then adjourned. THK. LAW. A reporter for the BEE yesterday morn ing , interviewed a legal gentlemen as re- regards the law upon the subject of Sun day base ball playing. The attorney gave his opinion as follows : "It 1ms Deon the general Impression that an ordinance exists prohibiting the playlni ; or baseball on Sunday. Mr. Savldee In his sermon pretended to quote an ordinance to that effect. The Impression Is wrong. There Is no such ordinance. The third paragraph of section 3 of the former city charter ( mis takenly quoted by the Itov. Savldgo a 3 an or dinance ) Is not an ordinance but a state law , governing cities of the firnt class. Omaha Is no longer a city of the lirst class but a met ropolitan city nnd governed by the law passed by the last legislature. But , oven this paragraph quoted by .Mr. Savid \vere c It still In force , reijuhcd an ordinance to make It effective. "During the last four or five years several at tempts have been made to pass an ordinance to carry the law Into effect , but there being too much good sense in the council chamber , the attempts were still-born. "Section 81 ot the act governing metropoli tan cities piovldes : 'The mayor and coun cil shall have power to provide for the punishment mont of * * * ball game players. ' "Section 32of the same article says : 'Tho mayor and council shall have power to re strain , prohibit and suppress tippling shops , etc. , and desecrations of the Satiliatti. ' "How Is the mayor and council to do do all this ? Is It their duty to go In a body to the ball grounds and stop the game ? Jf they WPiitthero they would piobably become so Interested they would forget their business. No , this Is not what the law contemplates. In order to carry this law Into elfcct the council mu t meet In Us chamber and Introduce and pr. s an ordinance for thnt purpose. Thnn the mayor must slen It or the council ' 'pass It over his veto. "Ot course there Is a state law making it a inlsdeineanorto play at any athletic game on Sunday , There U also a law prohibiting gambling , selling liquor , fast driving , prosti tution and conducting a lottery ( even In churches ) . Would It not be well to suppress these higher offenses lirst. Then , after these are suppressed , If you desire , stop tlio Inno cent amusement of playing base ball. " MAYOK UKOATCII. "How about the Sunday question , Mayor Broatohi" "Well , as yet , It Is in statu quo. " "Can't say just what will be done ? " ' Not now , anyway. " LET THE LETTEI13 WAIT. Another phase of the Sunday observ ance question is that referred to in tlio current number of the Christian Hour the homo organ of Presbyterians , in this citv , and is expressed in the following paragraph : . . ' . . "Wo feel ashamed tliat. In Omaha the churches dismiss their cohg/egntlnns only to have them troop to the postoflico o get tlio loiters that not only could but should wait for Monday. Business should have no thought on the Lord's l.\y. The mind needs a rest , and simply rom the view point of wise life-habit. alters ought to bo let alouo until Mon- lay comes and the old routine of business 3 begun. " A DABTAUDIjV 1)101C I ) . Viuulnls Seek for Wealth In St. John's Now Corner Htouo. A dastardly piece of work was pcrpo- Tilled Sunday night by , vandals and thieves in an attempt to carry offtlio treas ury box deposited but yesterday beneath the corner stone of the now colleglato church of St. John , which was laid with such an elaborate display of pomp nnd ceremony. A story was rife that the treasure hero deposited was equivalent to a small fortune , and this , as a matter of course , enlisted the interests ind attention of crooks and thieves gen erally. With pinch bars the stone wasv displaced , being subjected to mueli do- tocement during the operation , nnd jadly broken in ono or two places. The nlscrcants , however , did not stop hero n their mad search for booty , but tore down part of the bountiful pier , and had t not developed when it did that .hoy had hart all tiioir work for lothmg , these is no tolling whuro their conscienceless demolition would have ended. Fortunately tliero had been no treasure left in the stoun over night , the icrmanet sealing having not yet taken ilaco. Oilicer Turnbull was given thii case , nnd after n sedulous search of iho grounds , found a couple of drills and n Jinch-bar , which had evidently been 'tolcn from some convenient stonoyard , jut no other clue to the perpetrators of tins ugly niece of vandalism was dis covered. lho officers , however , are upon ho alert and will use every effort to jrltig the criminals to justice. Vnii Wyckon Independence. The chairman of the executive com mittee of tlio Knights of Labor has re ceived , in reply to an invitation to Hon. Charles II. Van Wyck , the following let ter : NiMiUASKACiTY , Neb. , Juno 25 Julius Meyer , esq. , chairman executive com mittee My Dear Sir : Many thanks to yourself and Knights of Labor for the invitation to bo with them on the 4th day of July. I regret it is impossible to ac cept , ns previous to your letter I had promised to bo at Wakelield on that day. The 4th of July cannot much longer bo celebrated as a mcro form or idle cere mony only to return thanks and eulogies to our patriot forefathers , and boasting of their glories. It is fust becoming a reality with us as it was with them , Every year individual indepcmloneo is becoming more and moro lost and merged in the tendency to concentrate wealth and large business interests in corporations in huge syndicates like Standard oil , coffee , cattle , lumber and other pietended "trusts. " And thus the few absorb the earnings and business of the many nnd thereby seek to control all other labor anil interests the day la borer , the mechanic , the men in work shops , stores and on the farms. We must begin to make personal ap plication of the principles of the Declara tion of Independence so wo may not pass under the yoke of a monicd oligar chy and political bigots and schemers. Yours , C. II. VAN WYCK. The County Commissioners. The commissioners worked all day Sun day , and yesterday morning , ns n board of equalization. They wont over a mass of assessments , and found , in some cases , that lots four miles from town are as sessed much higher than others not half a mile from the heart of the city. They also discovered glaring mistakes. Ono of these is the failure to list a a whole block that of 170 } , on the corner of Sixteenth and Nicholas streets , which is to-day very valuable. Another is a similar error by which 095 lots in Douglas precinct fail to appear. The mistakes are chargeable to the clerks Who made the lists. A petition was in circulation yesterday iu the court house addressed to the com missioners , setting forth the fact that there is a great need of some more azreeablo method of reaching the courts than by climbing the eighty- nine steps , which now load from the slroot to the highest floor , and suggesting n tunnel from the Farnam street walk nnd an elevator up the mid dle of the building. There was no diffi culty in securing signatures to the paper. The Sunday Gardens. All the beer gardens in the south end of the city , Paul Sonf's , Spoorl's nnd Mueller's , wcro running Sunday , as usual , in a very orderly manner. The chief of police has detailed Officer Turn- bull to attend to those resorts , and ho will hereafter visit them every Sunday. As a consequence of this attention the number of parents who ycslorday en joyed the freshness of the air , the beauty and the refreshments of these gardens was most noticeable. A Lively Inspector. Inspector Jenkins is being kept on tlio hop these days and ho is enthusiastic in his talk of Omaha's wonderful advance ment and growth. MOST PERFECT MADE Used by the United States Goiernmcnt.
