Tlio editor of the Journal , who bore
fnlso witness against the cntlro city of
Lincoln in his long dissertation on tlio
Ii. & M. ns n public benefactor , in which
ho stated that it had given Lincoln all it
naked in rates , IB apparently suffering
from another atUck of liver complaint.
The well worn pud has evidently shifted
from the position where it Is usually
worn nnd seems to irritate him. The
editor of tlio Journal was as quiet ns a
clam when all its fulsome flattery follow
ing Manager lloldrcgo's visit to Lincoln
on the rate question was exposed and the
gall has entered his soul evidently that ho
flhould bo caught up and htve : no grounds
for an answer. Now , however , in sup
port of its iibslstant editor nnd special
protege in the person of ono Hillings , the
Journal's wrath breaks forth that it
should bo criticised when it lets this asso
ciate editor have full swing in manifest
attempts to belittle the live stock com
mission. The facts in the matter , nsoverv
reasonable man knows thimi to be , are
that the regent * of the university have
Been lit to employ this man Billings as an
experimenter on animal discuses. Ono
ot the regents asborttimosinre expressed
the belief that it was n useless expundi-
i turo , but the expense is made however.
There would be no criticism now , but it
_ is a notorious fact that nil through the
' full and winter months this man has had
. full swing of the Journal in that wliich
I has boon considered an assault on the
< commission nnd veterinarian. It ceased
J for awhile , but has evidently broken out
! again in the Texas fever trouble at Teka-
j inah. The state has appropriated ? 00 , ( > 00
( for the work of the live stock commission
| for the coming two years , and much is
! expected and ought to be scoured from
them. Sowing seeds of discord through
travels on alleged investigations are not
in order , nnd the experimental luxury
provided by the regent's primarily , and
us associate editor on the Journal second
ary , in no way helps to slump out the
trouble by breeding discord. The editor
of the Journal should muzzle bis assooi *
ate and return to songs of praise for the
1) . & M. , for which his voice is especially
tuned.

CARDED WITH ' .A NOVEL CRIME ,
A Ijowcll Ooweler Who' Stole Elcc ;
trlclty.
Russell Clifford , a Shattuck street
jeweler nt Lowell , has boon arrested
charged with stealing large quantities of
electricity from * the local telephone ex
change. The first offense , it is set forth ,
was committed by tapping the wires of
the telephone company , and the next by
tampering with the company's meter.
For some months the local managers of
the telephone company were convinced
Hint many were using the wires without
paying rental , but the inspectors
and clerks were unable to detect
thorn. Cllfl'ord , who was de
tected fourteen months ago tap
ping the wires of the company on Shat
tuck street , was one of those suspected
and stories were told the oftcials that ho
was running an independent telephone
enterprise. On a recent stormy evening
one of the operators discovered that her
wire had been crossed in ft peculiar man
ner. She also found that siic was talk
ing with fltrangn persons who wore not
egular subscribers. The fact was re-
orted at headquarters , and the tolo-
hone ollicers have over sineo been
ivestigating the case. It was not until
JlilTbrd's however that the -
nrrpst , , mys-
cry was solved. From an investigation
hen inado the telephone olUcials become
onvinccd that Ulillbrd obtained some
telephones formerly used byV. . N , S.
Davis , a local inventor , anil Hired them
' regular subscribers. The directors
local miporlntcndcet , who continued
heir investigation , refusal to disclose
, hc manner in which Cliflbrd worked his
iidependciit exchange. They claim to
lave knowledge , however , that ho had
hreu lines running from his shop to
arious points in tlio city. It is alleged
hat he had a do/.on patrons. ClilVord
, cmc3 that ho has been running a rival
.xclmnge. . but admits that ho lapped the
vires of the lelophouo company.

McCoor , JONCTION , Neb , , July 23.
[ Correspondence of the UEE. ] McCool
Junction docs not enjoy the dis
tinction of being the third city in size In
the state , nor does It expect to bo the
center of nil the railroads In the state.
Neither Ihc car shops of the 1) ) . & M. rail
road nor the Missouri Pacific have been
located hero. Neither docs she expect to
eclipse Hastings nnd Lincoln m a short
time. Without these glowing advantages
held out by nearly every town in the
state what will McCool Junction amount
to ? To answer this its location must
first be detcribcd. McCool Junction was
platted this spring by the Kansas City &
Omaha railroad. It lies midway between
York and Krirmont in the southeastern
half of York county , sixty miles west of
Lincoln. The Kansas City & Omaha
railroad forms a junction right hero
giving shippers three different routes ,
0110 to the north nnd northwest , toOmatni
and Chicago , one south to Kansas City
and St. Lout.s , and the other west to
lliihtings sind Denver. McCool is , strictly
speaking , a railroad center and town.
It ia named ufler 1) . McCool , manager of
he Kansas City & Omaha railroad , and
wing to its superior location them is
ivory reason to believe it will be the
livniou station of this road.
It is eerlain the 15. &M. void will make
a junction right here , llight of way and
grade stakes have been partially bought
ind sot from Milfovd hero. From here
hey will build a line to Aurora and one
louth to Fairmont.
Situated by tne side of the Dig Hlue
river in the valley of the iMuo in the
midst of a vast growth ot tall , shady
.roes . , here is one of nature's finest and
> est summer resorts.Vc are pleased to
tear that the citizens and the Kansas
3ity & Omaha ollicials are contemplating
clearing and modelling the groves so that
McCool will bo the finest summer resort
n the state. Splendid boating , good lish-
.nc . and plenty of game in season will
make this place very popular. The pop
ulation of McCool is now in the neigh
borhood of 300. There are now about
twenty business houses representing dif
ferent lines of business. Last Monday a
train load of cattle and hogs were shipped
from this place. Thousands of bushels
of grain have been bought here this sum
mer. McCool is situated in the center of
Ihe richest nud most productive and
iipst thickly populated agricultural dis
trict in the state. The surrounding torri-
lory can support a city of S.OOOmhabitanls.
Any manufacturer desiring a location
can have one at McCool , where he can got
all the water power necessary. Jt nr.iv
he stated here thai tlio Hluu is capable ol
furnishing enough wafer power to run
fifty factories. A good stock of furni
ture is wanted nt McCool. A good dry
goods merchant can find a splendid open-
ng horo. MeCool has no stock of cloth-
ng. Those wlio are looking for a loc-a-
ion can rust assured that no town in the
state can show a livlier class of businos *
nen and residents , or more natural ad1
vantages than McCool J unction.

tas a phenomenal thing to report. If
has no boom , but since the first tract ol
0,000 acres of Indian laud was thrown
opun to general purchasers at appraiser
valuation , it has steadily improved ir
population and investments until at pres
ent a more thrifty town cannot bo fount
n Nebraska. This 50,000 aero tract has
since its settlement three years ago , beer
followed by another of 5,001) ) acres , one
tenth the size of the former , but settled
by an equally industrious and cnterpria
ing class of farmers. By careful investi
gation wo find that the thirty-ono farm
comprising this ( i.OOO acres have now ai
actual valuation each of $3,400 , exclusivi
of the land itself. The old reservation
as the lirst , or 50,00'J-acro tract is nov
called , is entirely occupied by whites
the Indians being entirely excluded. 15ti
among the farms of the last opnnpi
many belong to Indians. These diflV
only from Ihoso farmed by thuir whit
neighbors in the amount cultivated , n
they cultivate not more than thirly-liv
acres in all , which is called n sad wast
of good land by those who only wait ai
opportunity to grasp the last of the fev
remaining acres loft the red men.
A drive over the old reservation by ai
eastern resident , would bo an entiles
succession of ucrpriscs if he knew tha
uulil five ycors ago every foot of thi
land was absolute waste without a civil
ized habitation within its borders. Whil
now as compared with the olir.sc.tllcinon
which has actually been occupied snvei
teen years , it has a much finer cla-ss c
buildings , more timber , land in a hiche
state of ctiltivatson , more r.nd bette
roads , more school houses , a creamer ,
company with a Chicago firm as the or
ganizers , and stockholders composed o
citizens with neighboring farmers , is n
last organized , nnd without doubt is enl
the beginning of more enterprises of lik
beneficial character lo all.
And any enterprise wliich promises an
degree of success will meet with ever
encouragement from Bancroft.

AHAM03A , la. , July 21. [ Special to the
About six weeks ago the Iron
bridge across \Vapslplnlcan river nt
this place was destroyed by n herd of
cattle. The board of supervisors of Jones
county nt once advertised for bids for u
now bridge , nnd among them were two
bids : one from the Milwaukee Bridge
company for f3,000 , nnd one from the
Shcflcnl company , of Pltlsburg , for $5,250 ,
nnd for some reason the bid was let to
the highest bidder. It soon became
noised around that the successful bridge
company had mil up a job on the county ,
and fooled with some other bidders for
the job. So the county repudiated the
contract nnd let It yesterday to
the Milwaukee company for
fJ,000 ! , nnd the SholTurd company has
notified the county that they arc
constructing the bridge according to con
tract , nnd shall expect the company to
take it. There are lively times abroad ,
and it Is supposed the fall campaign in
thls'county will bo fouplit mainly on this
point. Certain seientilio men say , after
examining , that the Wapsi valley in this
county contains deposits of oil and nat

The executive council of the state have

money in wliich is only subject to use in
case of unforeseen emergency , having a
little of the miraculous in them. A.s the
deficit in the appropriation for the crim
inal insane department is nothing mar
velous , il could scarcely bo brought with
in the pale of the purposes of the provi

the building will have to remain

oily of Ore , Loadvillo'a predecessor.
There Tabor slaid and sold Hour ant
bacon and picks and frying-pans to the
miners year after year. Ho saw the cit ;
of 7,000 people dwindle lo seventy in llu
course of the ten years following the war
but ho never thought of leaving. Whei
tlio few houses remaining wore knockei
down and hauled n milo or two up tin
gulch to a more convenient locatioi
Tabor went with them and kept 01
dealing out "grub" at modest profits
When times were particularly dull Mrs
Tabor No. 1 , now living in Denver am
enjoying her share of the fortune alone
look in boarders. The slory that sh
took in washing is pronounced a lattci
day fiction by the old-limers.
WHO NAMED TIIU CAMP.
At length came the realization of th
carbonate wealth bullion in these hill.-
Where Ore had been established in 18C
Lcndvillo was laid out in 1878. Tabo
was on deck. The all-important qucs
tion arose , "What shall we name the nc\
city ? " Some wanted "Harrison" chosei
in iipnor of Mr. Kdward Harrison of St
Louis , who was n leading spirit hero ii
tliu early days , lint Tabor said "Leai !
ville , " and "headvillo" she became , oil
of defcronco to the sugcestion of the old
cst inhabitant.
Even in thin period of new oxcilcmen
Tabor's head was not turned from hi
routine of storukeoping. His trad
boomed naturally with the growth of tli
camp , which added to its population a
many as 500 in a day during the bi <
rush. Lawyers , gamblers , overybod
Hocked to Iho hills nnd laid out claim
nnd slramcd their backs at the pick an
Ihe windlass. Tab r was not so carriei
away. Ho stood behind the counter am
weighed out the bacou and the meal
"Ho was a stoady-colng you might sa
Clodding storekeeper/ the ilescrii |
tion given by the pioncurd. "That wa
all there was to him. Nobody eve
thought of him as a mining man. ' '
oiiuii STAKE VEyruuus.
Occasionally the impecunious pros
pcctor came to ISibor with a propositio
for a "grub stake. " .The storokcope
usually Jell ! with thevsuggcation , an
weighed Iho supplies. The mine
shouldered Iho pack anju went over th
hill. And Tabor ontertjd up so man
pounds of bacon and so many pounds d
Hour to profit and loss. How many mi
JUTS Tabor lias "grub staked" in his tiui
Lcadvillo does not pretend to sav. Prol
ably the number U well along in Iho hui
druds. It ever anything came of thi
"grub staking" for neatly twenty yean
no record has been kept of the fac
But Tabor accumulated a few thousand
and a good name during this ploddin
period of his life. No ill word is spoke
of him .s a storekeeper.
One day a man named llischo made th
nsnal credit arrangement witn Tabor to
"grub , " nud walked up the hill as G
many others had dona before him an
went to work. Ho came down town c
evenings and got a tailor interested wit
him in the prospect. This tailor W
George Hook , who , after listening t
lUsche's speculations about the cluin
chucked his goose under the table , fo
lowed the miuer up the hill and went t
work at the shaft. For some time Tabor
would have assigned that "grub st.iko"
cluim for fifty cents on the dollar , and
George Hook secretly regretted the day
he left th bench to become n mining
man.
THE rtOMAXCE OF LITTI.r. riTTSUL'tiO.
Bui the lime came when two of the
partners sold out their thirds for 100,000
apiece , while Tabor , true to his character
for hanging on , staid in and saw that
claim yield $8,000 a day.half of which lie
put in his pocket as Iho interest on his
"grub stake" principal.
This is the romance of the Little Pitts-
burg. Klsche , Hook and Tabor , the
dead-broke prospector , the tailor nnd the
plodding storekeeper were made famous
nnd rich in a single day. The ellcct of
this sudden lean into fortune was strik
ingly different In each case.
Hischo speedily plunged his $100,000
into other mining ventured nnd ran
through it.
Hook prudently invested his ? 100,000 in
bonds , 4 per cents for the most part ,
moved to Denver , got a comfortable
homo and enjoys life , ctitfing ofl' the coupons
pens as the months roll by and living
within his income , with n margin sulli-
cient to Help Kiscbo out of a tight place
whenever the latlordraws.outhostreiigth
of the old partnership.
TAHOK'S NEW LIFE.
As for Tabor , the ploddinc storekeeper
became another man entirely. Ho and
Jerome B. Chalice held on to "Little Pitts-
burg until it yielded $8,000 a day. Then
they stocked it. One day when they had
just received returns from the latest ship
ment to the smelter and wuro sitting in
the back room of the bank , Tabor said
to ChallVoWU : stock this miun for
? 10flOO,000. "
"Oh , no , " protested ChafTeo , "that's
too much. Make it sJJ.OOO.OOO or some
thing reasonable , like that. "
"Come to think of it , though,1' said
Tabor , paying no attention to the inter
ruption , " 1 believe we'll make it
11,000,000. "
And they did. The 200.000 shares of
? 10 ( > par value were issued and climbed
until they reached ? 35 , representing a
capital of ? 7,000V000. And then Tabor
showed that besides possessing a capac
ity for holding on , ho knew when to let
go. Telling people plainly that while
Little Pitthlmrg was a great mine he
didn't believe it was a fair equivalent for
that valuation , ho lot go of his stock.
There were plenty of talicrs , for the re
ports made by experts could not have
been more glowing if the whole Fryer
hill was solid silver. Little Pittsburg
was a grand pro.lueor for awhile , and has
yielded $7,000,000 , just 100 per cent on
the investment represented by the stock
nt $30 a share. Hut the datu of the last
dividend is ominous March , 1880.
CHICKEN 1111.1 , .
In four inonthf Tabor made out ot
.itllo Pittsburg fl,300,000. But his luck
lidn't stop there. There used to bo a
character in Leadvillo known as Chicken
Sill. His mother knew him as William
> ovell. Before the Lradville discovery
or excitement Mr. Lovull was a mail car
rier in the mountains , and did a little ox-
; ) reas business. Ono winter day two
anin chickens wore confided to Mr.
Lovoll for delivery at a certain mining
camp. On the way the carrier was
storm-bound for two or three da.ys , and
when he got to the end of llio route ho
lad nothing bul the feathers to show for
lis way-bill , llo hud eaten the fowls.
Kvor after that he was known as Chicken
Bill , and while liie.ro is no dillieulty in
identifying him in the history of Load-
villo as Chicken Hill , very few men hero
remember him as Mr. Lovell.
Chicken Hill took up a claim on 1'rvor
11111 and worked it industriously for
some weeks. But after the shaft got
down to such a depth that it was quite
tiresome to haul the dirt up in a bucket ,
he became disgusted. In the language
of Leadrille , "he hadn't a smell of ore. "
In a condition of mind wliich obliterated
his moral sense as completely as the
snow drifts made it casv for him to de
vour another man's chickens , Hill lefl
his shaft ono night and walked down tin
hill.
HOW CIIUYSOLtTT. WAS SALTED.
_ As ho came to George Fryer's New
Discovery mine his eyes fell on some
very good ore which had just been taker
out. Hill looked around. That was before
fore the days of watchmen nt the dump !
nnd when nil Leadville was supposed if
bo honest. Bill gathered up a lot of ore
what he could carry comfortably.walkei
hack to his shatt and threw Ihe chunk.-
in. Then he went down town in a vcrj
good humor. The next morning brigh
and early ho was down his pliaft pound
iug away among the rocks. About nooi
ho went down town and lold Tabor am
others that ho had "struck it" at last
Tabor , Hushed with his Little Pitlsburf
experience , was Ihcn on the lookout fo :
everything , and ho sent a man up to sei
what Chicken Bill bad got. The invest !
gutor came Imck and reported "sevcra
inches of nice-looking ore in sight. '
Tabor asked Bill what he wanted for hi
tind , and Bill said lu > owed $100 fo
"grub , " which must be wiped out. nm
on top of thai he wanted $ .v. ) for spend
ing money. Tabor paid $ ICO and tool
possession. He sank that salted .shut
live feet from where Bill had sloppci
nnd struck ore which yielded eve
$1,000,000.
ONT TiMU TAHOK'S JUDGMENT K.UI.EP.
This is the romance of thetliscovury o
the Chrysolite. Chicken Bill couldn'
stand it. Prosperity by proxy WIIH toi
much for him. Ho told the whole stor ;
on himself. Chicken Bill's claim am
lho = o which the Chrysolite Mining com
piny consolidated with it have yioldot
s450,000 : ! , but no dividends have beei
paid since December , 1884. This wa
another mine which Tabor stocked on i
scale largo enough to let everybody in
but in this case he did not recognize tin
time to let co. Chrystolito was made ti
carry 200.000 shares , with ? ; > 0 as the pa
value. The stock went up fitcadily
boosted by the enormous product , for :
timo. It touched $40. Tabor said : "
believe it will go to ? 50. Then I'll un
load. " Ho was mistaken. Ifhchad.solt
at * 10 he would have realized $7,000,000
He let his shares go at considerable loss
but when he balanced accounts the ? 15
paid to Chicken Bill wasn't worth men
tionmg beside the seven figures whicl
represented Tabor's prolits.
iiiKSTouvor TIII : M\Tonus3. :
Chicken Bill wasn't the ouly _ man win
thought he had "played it lino'1 on Tabo
and realized afterwards thai the stori ;
keeper had the besl cud of the bargain
Tlio Matchless was another illustralioi
of Titlor's wonderful luck. Tim Folti
and his partners , Wilgus and othrr-
worked this claim until they had uncov
ered some ore , anil sold oul to Tabor fo
$113,000. They wont around Lnadvill
shaking hands and receiving congratuhi
lions of having "put up on the old mai
Ihis time , " But Tabor held the proper !
nnd kept on with development wori
When he had taken cut $1.000.000 , senli
menl began to change decidedly ah loth
wisdom of Iho investment. Hut thn pro
duction kept right on up to | 3,000,00 , (
Then the people began to wonder wli
Tabor didn't stock the mine and iinlo.it
Still ho held on. The Matchless lastyea
passed the ! ,000OOQ point , and to-day i
is still producing. Tabor U the sol
owner. He has never parted with a do
lar's interest in the properly. Ho enjoy
the distinction of being Iho only Lcai
ville man who has bought a big mine , di
velopcd it , and held on to it withoi
forming a company or taking in a par

in a single name.

of Erin , and ho named his mine the
samo. After he had developed pretty
good indications McComb sold out for
S'0,000 to Tabor anil Mnior lu Hois.
They in turn sold out to an English syn
dicate for $200,00. Hut the Englishman
"beelVd" so vigorously that the sellers
took tlio property back , and now it ranks
as one of the best in the camp , and
couldn't ' be bought for $2,000,000. No
body knows just what Tabor's Interest is ,
qut ho does not control. The ruling
spirit in the company is Mofl'att , the Den
ver banker.
If Tabor had stopped with those four
ventures he would bo to-day the bonau/a
king of Loadvillo. If ho had put the ag
gregate of those winnings into 4 per
cent bonds , as his old "erub stake" nart-
tier did with the Little Pittsburg strike ,
he would bo ouo of the wealthiest men in
the west. 15ut Tabor kept right on turn
ing his money over and over. Ho turned
it so fast that it not only gained nothing
" > ut dropped oil rapidly. Some of his
iiimcnso fortune went back into Lead-
iile hills. Some went into the most do-
usivo of speculations grand opera
ouscs ono here and ouo in Denver ,
xtmo went into thu Fifth avcutio hotel ,
lore disappeared in South America ,
'mbroidorcd night-shirts anil big diamonds
mends absorbed their share of profits.
Vnd finally the indulgence in a new wife
iroved an expensive luxury. Iho wo-
mm who helped tend store and who
joardcd miners in California ( julchgave
ho millionaire his freedom at a very
heap price , considering his ability to
) ay. She took a divorce and something
ike $ .100,000 , and is living a qmot retired
ifo in Denver.
THE REMNANTS Ol'V I'OUTCNE.
The impression ha ? gene out that
"abor is bwkon in fortune. Ho has lost
icavily m his numerous ventures , but
hero are few men in Lcadvillo who
wouldn't trade oven to-day for what
labor IIP.S got left. "Huh ! " om > of them
said , "I wish I was as near broke sis
Tabor is. "
The losses have not boon without their
.osson to the once lucky investor , lie
lus stopped indulging in nil sorts of
speculations ' 'on sight and unseen , " as
10 bought mines in the early days , nnd is
devoting himself largely to the rearing
of a young and interesting family , llo
comes to Letulville occasionally for n
few days on business , but spends most of
his time in Denver. Ills mining prop
erty here returns him steadily from
$10,000 to $15,009 n month , an lied
scorns to Imvo given up all idea of splurg
ing as a speculator. In short , Tabor is
now living his third life. First he was
the plodding storekeeper on California
( Julch from 1800 to 1807. Then for near
ly a decade ho was the during specula
tor , ready to invest in any proposition
from Alaska to Patagonia , da//.ling com
mon folks with diamonds nnd embroid
ered night shirts. And now he is a
model old man of retiring manners , with
a , couple of babies who arc the apples ot
liis oyc , looking after the InimLsomo
remnants of a once colossal fortune , and
one of the most considerate men to those
associated with him in business. He
loaves his interests in the hands of
others , save as regards general direc
tions. Whatever the rest of the world
may say , Lcadvillo 1ms only one kindly
recollection of Tabor.
