The Lincoln Journal yesterday , edi
torially and locally , in words of fulsome
praise , asserted that the I ) . & M. had con
ceded all that had been asked of It in the
rate question , and , "that Lincoln is now
on as good n freight basis as any other
Jobbing town , and has the full benefit of
extra advantages as a distributing point. "
This statement is so utterly false and mis
leading that the people of Lincoln are
entitled to the truth in the matter. The
Journal , like the scriptural ox , knows its
master's crib , and the visit of
General Manager Holdrcgo to the
city was undoubtedly the cause of
this outbreak and wotd painting
picture of praise to the Uurlingtou road ,
that might bo bcliovcd if the position of
the Journal was not so well understood.
In the face of the efforts of Lincoln citi
zens and the board ot trade , through the
freight bureau , to secure commercial
rates that will upbuild the city , u voice of
flattery like the words of the Journal arc
of direct injury and damage. The truth
of the matter is that the alleged equaliza
tion of rates amounts to practically noth
ing , It is at best only an equalization in
part of the out rate to points in
the state , and in a very moderate way as
sists , a few of the wholesalers , and then
only on a special class of goods. Coal ,
lumber and heavy materials are not af
fected in the least , and the In-ratc , the
rate that is of direct benefit to the city and
which drives away every now institution
Becking a location here , is us heretofore
utterly ignored. The equalization of
rates praised and lauded by the Journal
Is an admission by the Burlington that
they can bo regulated and in that is all
the direct benefit that the city gets. The
fact that the road recognizes that Lincoln
Is demanding attention is , in a secondary
way , of a good deal of encouragement to
the citizens who have planted tboir
money in the contest.
Hut what Lincoln must have to pros
per , and what the freight bureau and the
board of trade are working for , is an
equable in rate , and the Journal , just as
well as every other posted man , knows
that that question is the germ of the en
tire business. That which holds Lincoln
back Is the fact that on every pound of
freight shipped to the city , on every ton
of coal for fuel , and every car loud of
lumber for building , an extortionate
local rate is chaigcd from the imaginary
line known as the Missouri , river to Lin
coln. Herein , in the words of one of
Lincoln's best posted citizens , lies the
trouble ; and from the same source the
statement comes that the freight bureau
has asked of the inter-state commission
that the Lincoln bo made
Hi-rate to pro
portionates to its distance from castarn
points per mlo ! with the rate given cities
on the Missouri river or from it. A mile-
ngo rate of this kind would make the
rates on lumber , coal and merchandise
from the initial point of shipment to Lin
coln only about a cent greater than Mis-
noun river rates of the present , instead
of some 0 cents as now in vpguo under
Iho added local rato. A readjustment of
rates on this basis , the spirit of the inter
state law , would bo of direct and prac
tical interest to the rank and file of Lin
coln citizens , to both wholesalers and retailers
tailors , to every man who builds a house
or consumes fuel. When , therefore , the
Journal assorts witli the glib of u confi
dence man that the H. & M. has re
moved all objections and given
what Lincoln asks for by sim
ply readjusting rates out on one
single class of shipments that benefit at
best only ono class of wholesalers , the
ridiculousness of its position becomes
npparont to the most obtuse , and the
value of the Journal as an exponent of
Lincoln interests is at once realized.
The Journal , like the leopard , may
change its spots by shifting its bed place
nt night , but the tatoos of the Hurlington
company are too indelibly pictured on
every part of its anatomy to be covered
up by such simple subterfuges as its
declarations that the road has granted
nil that has been asked and bi'como a
benefactor.
COMIT.AINT rn.r.n.
Yesterday Plunimor , Perry & Co. ,
wholesale grocers of this city , filed the
following complaint with the railroad
commissioners. Thecomplaintisajjainst
the Union Pacific railway :
To the Honorable Hoard of Hallway Com

petitioners state as follows : Attached is H
bill of hiding for ono car of sugar , No. 170HS ,

A rnto of CO cents per hundred Is collected to

With these facts I'lumnr , Perry A Co. com
plain that the rate of IS cents per hundred , at
wlilch shipment was robllled to Lincoln Is
unjust , unreasonable nud extortionate under

which U was snipped from the original point
Also , this company In disregard to precedent

DISTRICT COUUT CASKS.
The following cases wore Hied yester

foreclosure of mechanics' lien in the
name of James Hurcham , assigned to
this pluintll ) , In amount ftb'J.60 , with In-
tcrost from August , 1880.
Gilbert M. Uarnes brings notion
against William and Wilhohnino Rhodes ,
the action being for $1,000 damages
based upon a violation of contract in the
sale of lota C and 0. in block 2 , Laven
der's addition to Lincoln. The petition
recites that in April the defendants en
tered into a contract to sell the lots and
afterwards in May , In violation of the
agreement , sold the real estate to Mary
K7 Sawyer to plaintiff's damage In the
above amount.
Henry O. Martin sues Adam W. Smith
nnd asks judgment for $250 nnd
costs , basing his chum on the fact that in
Juno ho was employed by the defendant
to sell a stock of ready raado clothing ,
boots and shoos , and was to got the nsuai
commission for the sale. After a few
days the plaintiff alleges that ho pro
cured a purchaser lu the person of Marcus
Do Hrumer , who purchased the stock for
$9.000. The defendant not paying the
commission , action Is brought to recover.
John P. Lader has filed suit against
George A. Watson , foreclosing a mort
gage given In 1880 to secure a promissory
note of $78. The plaintiff asks judgment
for that amount.
In the case of Esther L. Warner , who
secured an injunction against the Atchison -

The city council yesterday wore en

against Oflicer llobson , the captain of
the night force. This alleged policeman
ought to have been dismissed months
ago , as he does not possess the first re
quisite for n good ollicer. The offender
that could not escape arrest from him
would need to bo blind or n cripple , and
the police force ought to bo shorn of such
useless timber. There are several charges

LET THE PEOPLE ALONE.
JayGoultl'H Adjuration Sharply nud
Justly Criticized.
Lincoln Democrat : "What the coun
try needs , " said Jay Gould to a news
paper reporter the other day , "is to bo
let alone. The country is able to work
out its own prosperity. The American
people are n great , noble and bravo pco-
plo , and all they want Is to bo lot alono.
Tho.y don't want interference from the
president or congress , the state legisla
tures or governors. It would bo bettor if
the state legislatures mot only once in live
years. " What is "tho country , " Mr.
'Gould ? What proportion of it does your
$100,000,000 constitute ? Do you count
every man a citizen with equal rights , or
do you estimate a man's importance in
the social fabric by the amount of prop
erty ho holds ? Doubtless you hold the
latter view , and from that point of view
what the country needs is to bo let alone.
Capital has no-difUculty in taking care
of itself and can afford to bo "lot alone. "
The Tollivcr gang asks nothing more
than to bo let alone. There are a great
many people who could get along
nicely if they wore only "lot
alono. " Mr. John M. Thurston craves
nothing so much as to be "let alono. "
If legislatures mot but once in live years ,
the solitude of the people would b so
intense that thuy would no longer have
the company of their property or their
rights. Mr. Gould could acquire most
of the furruor "if let alono" for live yours
nnd .Messrs. Popploton , Thurston , Wal
ters , Hunlon , Crawford and Gurluy
would have small dilliculty in getting up
K corner on the latter. Your schema
does not strike the people favorably ,
Mr , Gould. You may Icuvn thorn alone
for a ccntery if you wish , but they must
decline to bo "lot'alone" by themselves
for periods of live years ut r. stretch.

One of the Closest
Calls on llccord.
Rocky Mountain Nowss "Yes , sir ,
that was about the closest call I over
had. "
This remark , coming from a well built ,
good looking young miner , nnd made
with a serious reflection that left no doubt
of its sincerity , attracted the attention of
a News roportcr who happened to bo
standing close to a group of mining men
a few days ago.
"Closo calls , " are very attractive fea
tures for journalists , and anything in the
hairbreadth escape line will attract the
attention of the news reading public
from the ablest editorial which over
emanated from the pen of n writer on
political economy or the ethics of cul
ture. Therefore the News man invested
half n dollar in a couple of regalias and ,
lighting one of them with n crisp two
dollar bill , politely handed Its mate to
the author of the above remark with a
suggestion that they scat themselves
comfortably and enjoy a quiet smoke.
The ofler was promptly and elleetivcly
accepted , and between whifTH.after a des
ultory word or two on mining prospects ,
the writer said ; "Sullivan , what did you
refer to when you made that remark
about n 'closo call , ' a few moments
ago ? "
"What I said to the boys just ns you
came in , do you mean ? " said Sullivan.
"Yes ; you call it about the closest call
you over had , and I like to hoar about
such things , so just fix yourself comfort
ably and tell mo about it. "
Sullivan , wholly unaware of the dan
gerous calling of his acquaintance , read
ily consented and soon was deep in the
recital of what was truly one of the most
narrow escapes Known ot in an oven
eventful regions where tornadoes are
born and the festive six-shooter waxes
eloquent.
"it was last winter , " started Sullivan ,
"when mo and my partner , Jim Rogers ,
wus working an assessment on a couple
of old prospects of ours up in Geneva
nark about naif way between Grant and
Montc/uma. Grub hud given out a few
days before , and while Jim was driving
the work on a liundred-fo'ot level through
solid rock. I started over to Montezuraa
fora supply of grub. Snow ! Welt I
should remark. And cold ? Well , if wo
hadn't had to have grub nothing else
would have got mo ever that seven miles
and back , but it had to como over and
I brought it. I had just got to the cabin
and fixed up supper for Jim and mo and
got the dishes on the table. I stepped to
the door to throw out some potato par
ings , talking to Jim , wlion , as 1 turned
around at the door , i saw. looking
through the little window in the side ot
the cabin , one of the ugliest and biggest
bears that 1 ever want to sec. She \yas
sitting up on her haunches and looking
right in at me , and as I turned a little
more , 1 saw through the partly open
door two more big bears in front of the
cabin. Wo didn't have oven a dirk knife
in the cabin , no gun or revolver , and the
nxe was at the wood pile thirty feet from
the door , nnd the two bears between mo
and it. I tell you I thought it was rainin'
bears ) for a minute. A good deal
quicker than I'm telling this I jumped
for the poker that wo used to
fasten the cabin door with , and
slipped it into place , .lust then the old
she bear at the window gave a crow I
and made a pass at the window with her
paw. Hill' , it came , sash , glass and all ,
on to the floor. Before the noise hail
stopped , smash came the other bears
against the door , and it's only a miracle
that it didn't como in. The poker was
bent all out of shape. Well. Jim and mo
did lots of thinking about that time , and
jf over I wanted a 45-rcpoator I wanted
it right then. You see the snow had been
lying awful deep up there and the bears
was ravenous and mo.it likely hadn't had
anything to oat for a long time. They
have to get terrible hungry bcforo they
will attacK a cabin like that.
"Wo throw burning paper and fire
brands , dishes and everything wo could
get hands on at the old uoar in the win
dow , but she just stood there and glared
at us. 1 never thought there could bo so
much fire in an eye as there was in hers.
She stood there looking at us and wo at
her , when all at once wo heard a noise on
the roof You bet wo know what it was
too , and were about ready to give up
then. The 2-year-olds , the old bear's
cubs , had got up on to the dirt roof of
the cabin. Pretty soon they commenced
throwin' dirt and in about two minutes
had got down to the poles that held the
dirt. We could look right up through
the poles that hold the poles where the
dirt was clawed off and see them. And
wasn't they mad ! They would claw
along lengthwise of the poles and rake
the bark oil'every clip , and every minute
wo wore expecting them to get their claws
n between the polio and then wo
would have been gono. If they had
known enough to give one or two bcrapo'
sideways they could easy have scoopotl
oil enough poles to let them down in.
What then ? Well the boars would have
had a square meal and 1 wouldn't bo
hero tolling you about it. All the time
they wore scraping away up there I stooi :
with the straw bed tick on the lloor open
and n lighted candle in my hand. As I
told Jim , it was poor chances , but I'd
rather be burned up than eaten up- The
old boar staid right there at the window
all the time watching us. It wa.s too
small for her or she'd have been in her-
splf. After a while they scorned to get
tired , and , after prowling around the
cabin until wo were near frightened to
death , they went oil' . I measured the
biggest oius : tracks in the snow next
morning , nnd it was fourteen inches
long. It wasn't long before that cabin
had a rifle in it , and you don't catch
mo in a boar country again with no
protection but a straw bed and a can-
aio. "

A Fhlladelphlaii'a Whisker * Grow
Out in One Night.
Philadelphia Ncwa ; "Peculiar ? Well
I should say so ; but that man goinj
down the street is the greatest curiosity
i'vu ever seen , " euld a friend to a News
reporter us they stood together on Chest
nut street yesterday.
"How's that ? "
"Old you notice his full brown beardV
was the answering interrogatory.
"Yes ; well ? "
"Well , that man a week ago had no
more benrd than a baby , and now look
at In : . " . . You mightn't bellovo mo , bu
that ninn'.i fare was r.s bare as the pain
of my hand up to fro : days aco. Ho wus
awfully anxiou * to grow sonic sort of a
hirsute appendage on his face , and some
time ago I'.u started to .shave , and , thougl
ho lathered hud fchnved for bix months
could raise wan u pretty ec
of pink pimples , llq g.ivo up In dlsgusf
n year ago with a heart full of despair ,
and hl $ face as bare of board as before.
"His name Is Frank Gilder and ho
lives over in West Philadelphia on Darby
road , just below Chestnut. Ho tried
jvery beard starter hd uvcr hoard of. Ho
looked with longing eyes upon pictures
labeled 'boforo nnd after1 ; ho shaved
fruitlessly , ho c'irscd. ho prayed } In lino.
lie did everything , yet the board refused
to sprout.
"On the night of Juno 97 Air. Gilder
went to bed in a disturbed frame of
mind. Ho had been that evening twitted
n great deal about his b'cardlcssncss. llu-
toro retiring , ho relates himself , ho
wished most earnestly that his board
night sprout , nnd his accommodating
fairy must have overheard the wish ,
"When ho arose In the morning and
saw his reflection in the glass surprise
would hardly describe his focltngs. Ho
was frightened ; then those feelings gave
vay to unmitigated delight. Ho danced
n regular war dance In his stocking feet ,
and wound it up with a whoop that rat-
led the glass in the windows for a square
around , uud brought the entire family to
ils room.
"His glass hud shown him that n fine
> card had sprouted. His face was cov-
ircd with a quarter inch stubble of line
> rown board and ho could feel that it was
growing still. His long delayed beard
nad started and it had all conic out in a
light. Such a case was never heard of
before. His appearance created
onsternation nt the j breakfast table ,
ho family failing to rccogiuzo him
mtil they hoard his voice. The curious
mrt of it was that his new beard groxv so
ust that by noon it was more than an
nch long , and by sundown it was three
nclics long and still growing. It is three
nches long now and still growing , but
10 has hud it trimmed every day since it
irst came out. His great fear now is
hut it will all grow at once , and that its
igor will in that way become exhausted ,
he hair fall out , nnd leave him as b.ully
off as before. Ho lias the additional fear ,
oo , that it sapping his vitality , as ho
eels himself is grower weaker daily , and
ho chances that an overgrowth of "beard
ny cause his death.
"Physicians whom ho has consulted
arc at a loss to account for the spontan-
ous growth. Ono whom ho consulted
itatcd that he had never hoard of a simi-
ar caso. He gave it as his opinion that
ho essential structure of the hair , which
a an assmblago of epidermic cells at the
bottom of a flask-shaped follicle in the
ubslanco of the skin , were always pres
ent , but that some condition of the cells
> revented them from being supplied with
> lpod , and that they simply lay there
vithout sprouting. Further , no said there
nay have been some condition of the
i.ipllla , in the bottom of the follicle and
upon which the hair rests , which pro-
voutcd the proper enlargement of the
root. "
Hnrocs and Heroines.
There are few people who endure bod-
ly troubles without complaint. Did you
over meet among the heroes or heroines
) f your acquaintance if any such there
lave been ono with a yellowish cast of
countenance and that /jaundiced / aspect
generally , which the most unpractised
cyi ; recognizes as the product of a dis
ordered liver , who will , not complainand
jcovishly too , of the soreness of the recal
citrant organ , of pains bcnoath the right
shoulder blade , of dyspeptic hymptoms ,
constipation and hoadaclio ? Of course
you novcr did , and of course the individ
ual was not using Hpstcttors Stomach
Hitters or ho would nothavo , looked so ,
so have complained. To purify the
jlootl when contaminated with bile , nnd
omluct the secretion into its proper
channel , to re-establish regularity of the
jewels , banish bilious headuchn , and re
move impediments to complete digestion

SHAVING DEAD MEN.
A Chicago Ilnrbor's Experience With
Different Corpse.
"I'vn shaved dozens of dead men , "
said a barber to a reporter of the Chicago
Inter Ocean. "I'd rather shave a 'stiff'
than a crank any day , for these reasons :
You got paid more , they don't bleed if
you cut 'cm , and never grumble at your
work. I'vo been paid as high as $10 and
never less than $3. That is the regular
price and 1 won't take less. I'vo seen
lots of funny things in this end of our
business. Loss than two weeks ago I
went to a house not a thousand miles
from Washington park. I had finished
the job and wus packing my traps when
the dead man's wife I mean widow
came in. She walked over to the corpse ,
examincu the face closely , and was turn
ing away with a sort of satisfied look ,
wned suddenly shq gave a shriek and
cried like a professional. C3
"What's the mutter , madam ? " 1
asked.
"Why , you-you mean thing. You've
p-p-p parted his h-liair on the wrong side
boo ! bool"
Another time I wont to an aristocratic
residence on Michigan avenue. I won't
tell you the number , because it wasn't
long ago. The dead man's brother was
in the room witli me ono of those al
leged English dudes , you know.who talk
thro'ugh their nose and lisp like a wo
man. The first strike I made on the neck
of the corpse caused his brother to tiiKo
a conniption.
"Now , now , now ; stop that. I say , stop
that , " ho lispinl. "Aw-uw , donehuno ,
that's ' not right. You nuisn't shave the
neck up ; you must shave it down. If you
shave it up the hair will grow up and
curl the wrong way , don't you know.and
ho can novcr part it again like it is now. "
"I looked at the man and saw he was
in earnest , and I tried to keep my face
straight , but it was pretty hard work.
The 'idea of shaving a corpse so ho could
part his whiskers nice afterward ! "

Haltimoro Argus : So the girls and the
young man tripped up to the fountain
and ho called for seven sodas , and his
face was a study when the druggist told
him the fountain wasn't running. Hut
it wasn't a circumstance to the druggist's
faco. As for the girls , they said George
was real sweet and so j disappointed be
cause ho couldn't treat them. And on
the way homo George explained that ho
had discovered that every other druggist
for squares around used motalio stoppers
in his epigastrium that generated cuprous
oxide of nitrogen in the syrups , which
was liable to brine on attacks of mcgalo-
saurius.

Now York Letter Chicngo Nowsi "Is
Cyrus W. Ficlil broke ? " That Is the all-
absorbing question in Wall street , the ex
changes and the clubs. Ills friends
stoutly maintain that ho is , and thntovcn
his real estate is hold by Jay Gould find
Hussoll Sago. But that is not truo. Mr.
Field has lost pcrliaps $10,000,000 during
the past month , but he is not a bankrupt.
Ho has still about $10,000,000 loft. The
Washington building , which is occupied
by lawyers , bankers and brokers , is
worth f3,000,000 ; Mr. Field's city house
with its contents , is worth $60,000 ; his
newspaper , the Mall nnd Express , ho
values at $500,000 ; his country scut and
forty cottages at Irvington on the Hud
son are worth $1,000,001) ) , and in addition
to this ho owns it big block ol Anglo-
American cable block , Wow York Cen
tral stock , and securities tint are worth
$ .1,000,000. So it will bo seen that ho is
still comfortably oil so far as money is
concerned.
He is out of Wall street now and out of
speculation. The chances are that he
will put his business in shape and go
abroad for a while. He is tired ot work.
Ho says ho wants a little play now. ' 'I'm
entitled to it , " he said a few days ago ,
"and 1 mean to have it. "
Who is the richest man in town ? is a
question often asked here.
John Jacob Abtor undoubtedly. His
fortune is placed at $200,000,000. A tidy
sum indeed , but Jay Uoulil is pushing
nim pretty hard , and the Vanderbilt boys
are close behind the king of Wall street.
Hero is a list made up by a Wall street
broker that is as nearly accurate as any
such estimate can bo : Cornelius Vander-
bill , $100.000,000 ; W. K. Vanderbilt , $ ! H- )
000,000 ; llusscll Sage , $00,000,000 : Winslow -
slow , Lamar &Co.aO.OOO.OOOI.O.Mills : ,
Whitehall Reid's father-in-law$20OOO.OUO ;
Fiorrouqnt Morgan , $18,000,000 ; Hob
Garrett , $20,000,000 ; Fred Vanderbilt ,
$15,000,000 ; Sidney Dillon , $10,000,000 ;
Addlson Cammack , $8,000,000 ; John
Uookafollcr , the Standard Oil man ,
$10,000,000 ; Hi Uockafellcr , his brother ,
? 8,000,000 ; August Belmont , $20,000,000 ;
Cyrus W. Field , $10,000,000 : Deaeon S.
V. White , member-elect of the new con
gress , $7,000,000 ; K. P. Flower , $0,000-
000 ; Wash Connor , Jay Gould's old
broker , who has just married the di
vorced wife of the ox-lottery kine , Sim
mons , $3,000,000 ; Victor Nowcomb ,
$4,000.000 ; Harry Hart , who is manlpu-
'ating I'acilic Mail. $10,000,000 ; Oswald
: ) ttendorfer , editor of the Staats Zeltung ,
| .1,000,000 ; James Gordon Uonnett , $10-
000,000 ; Austin Corbm , $ : ! 0,000,000 ;
Krastus Winan , $3,000,000 ; and there aio
a score of others who are worth from
$1,000,000 to $10,000,000 each. Hut why
go on ? Jay Gould is likely to make
$50,000,000 more in live years , and the
men named above will all add to then-
vast wealth if they live a few years.
A plain , ordinary , ovory-day sort ot a
millionaire counts for nothing hero. You
can stand in Trinity church steeple and
throw a stone in any direction and hit a
millionaire. They are very common ,
mil are really considered of no account.
The Asters have seldom dabbled in
Wall street speculation. They prefer
real estate. No family in America 1ms
so kept its wealth within itself as the
Asters , who continue the financial policy
originated by old John Jacob Astqr
about the beginning of the century. It is
commonly supposed that ho made the
bulk of his fortune in furs. Ho formed a
gigantic project for extending the busi
ness from the northwestern lakes to the
I'acilic by means of various trading posts ,
by establishing n central station at the
mouth of the Columbia , and then , by
making a depot at one of the Hawaiian
islands to supply China and India di
rectly from the Pacific coast. The pro
ject was partinllv carried out , but mean
while Mr. Astor saw greater opportumtes
for making WUCEUAKINUI"A
than in the fur trade. Ho began to buy
oxtensivelv , and the growth of the town
was so rapid that in some cases the prop
erty increased a hundredfold.
When o died fort ? years ago he was
estimated to bo worth $20.000,000. Ho
left to his son , William 15. Astor , the bulk
of his estate , to bo managed in tlie inter
est of the family. William K. left it in
turn to his son John Jacob , and now
John Jacob has intrusted it to his son
his solo child , indeed William Waldorf
Astor , ex-minister to Home , who , by the
way , is writing a society novel. This
virtually amounts to an entail and prevents -
vents the wealth from being scattered ,
though therein small danger of that , the
Asters being noted for conservatism and
thrift. They have always invested in
real estate , buying few bonds or stocks ,
and have evinced great care and discre
tion in their investments. Their con
stantly increasing surplus they have , so
to speak , put into the ground , reaping ex
traordinary profit * thereby. They flo vor
sell ; they are over buying , buying , but
keeping their transactions as secret as
possible. No one but themselves and
their agents have any idea of the vast
biocks of real estate in their possession.
They own thousands ot business Mouses
and'dwollings , and add each year to or
three hundred houses to their immense
holding.
When it is remembered that wealth
doubles at simple interest in less than
seventeen years , and in less time when
invested in real rstato , it is easy to un
derstand how theirs must have grown in
the past ninety years. One of the advan
tages of such investments is that they in
crease ! with the value of the city. They
are not confined , as bonds and similar se
curities are , to a lixed rate of interest.
Certain lots purchased thirty years ago
would pay to-day what is equivalent to 10
or 50 per cent per annum. There is little
doubt that the Asior estate to by far the
greatest in this country. It cannot bo
much short of $ : V)0,000,000 , and by the
close of the century , if managed as it has
been , it will bo nearly doubled , Where
will .Jay Gould bo then ?
