The new cable line is an assured fnct ,
nnd work was practically commenced on
Jt yesterday by graders who were at work
on E street. The motor house has been
localcd on lliat street nnd grading work
lias been commenced in the vicinity of
Hint location. The absorbing question as
what slreols llieir line will occupy in
their route from Ihe depot to E street is
not yet decided , and the open question Is
being watched with eagerness by prop
erty owners. The cable line company ,
through its roprescntalivo who was re
cently in Now YorK City , purchased ma-
tcrialfor three miles of track : Much of
this material has been shipped , nnd a
part of it is already on the grounds ready
to bo planted. With the motor road
under construction in the north part of
the city , with lines to the fair grounds
nnd West Lincoln , and now with Iho
cable- line throwing dirt in Iho south
) > art of the city , it looks as though Lin
coln had a boom in street car construc
tion that meant business , and exhibits
the confidence Iho corporal ions have in
Iho city. It is expected that cable cars
Will bo running before the snow Ilics. ,

Lincoln people nro encouraged by the
- notion of llio county commissioners in
jigreoing upon plans for a court house ,
in Ihu fact Ihal work must commence at
nn early uay upon Ihe building in this
cily , for the construclion of which $200-
000 in bonds wore yotod by the people of
Lancaster county. The plans nccepled ,
those of E. E. Myer & Son , of Detroit ,
call for a very handsome and substantial
building , the picture of which can bo
ficen at Iho olhccof the county commis-
ploncrs. Thn plans were selected nflor
careful consideration on Iho part of llio
county board and Ihoy arc confident that
they have been directed in their line of
choosing in llio right direction. The
building called for by the plans is to bu
140x208 feet in size , CO feel in heighlh
from ground lo cornice , and to be sur-
inounted with a dome and tower 140 fuel
in helghth. Litigants will bo interested
to know that the historical slaluu of
Justice is not localcd on the pinnacle of
the dome as in Omaha to bo as far re
moved from the proceedings as possible ,
bill on thu Lincoln building Iho some
what venerable personage will occupy n
position on the roof over the
inain entrance. Bv this arrangement
jurors who are confined in the upper
chambers wrestling for a verdict , can in
the stilly night crawl out upon Iho roof
nnd consult Justice at short range.
.Among tlio multitude of provisions in llio
rooms of llio new building there is ono
that is something of a departure from
former ways in the wild west. There
will bo especially arranged for the com
fort nnd convenience of the jurors , a
Jury bedroom furnished with nn ntlend-
ing bath room , FO perfectly guarded nnd
protected that the bather who enters will
leave hope of escape witli his clothing ,
liuhind. A detailed description of the
building is furnished in the plans show
ing Ihu slzn of the difl'oront rooms , the
use for which each is intended , thu light ,
comfort and convenience of each , and
the entire picture presents a building
of which the city and county
will undoubtedly foul proud. The
city has n court house block
centrally located upon which to build ,
nnd thu location is a sightly one. It need
wet cause any surprise if when the building -
ing is completed , it overshadows the
fitrUo capitol that will cost over double
the sum to bu expended for the court
liouse.

Opera IlotiflV ; I'lnyrcl Out.
London Figaro : Opera boiifle is now
practically non-existent on the London
stage , and several performers who have
so long waited in vain for engagements
are practically-giving up the job in des
pair. Some of Ihem are gradually re-
cmilm" Iho ranks of Iho drama and Eng
lish opera , while others will probably return -
turn to the music halls. The trulh is
that opera boullu has been killed partly
by its own inanity , partly by the exor-
bilanl pretensions of Iho so-called ariists.
For Ihu vast majority of them a salary of
5 per week would bo higher than was
warranted by any talent they possessed ,
nnd when they began lo ask _ 10 lo 15or
oven more , weekly , Iho thing became ab
surd. Opera boull'e is likely lo bo suc
ceeded by genuine English comedy
opera , such as "Dorothy" and the Sulli
van-Gilbert repertory. Even in Paris ,
which was its cradle , anil will probably
bo its grave , opera boull'e is in a weakly
condition ,

THE CAREER OF C. E , MAYNE ,
As Told by a Newspaper of Davenport
\7Lere He is Taking a Vacation ,
HIS AMAZING LEAP TO WEALTH.
How Ho Matlo n Million Dollars In
Four Years A Very IntorofitlnR
Narrative or a Pushing anil
Unoruntlo Man.
Davenport Gazctto : "Heavens ! what
llycrl Who is that ? Why , it is C. H ,
Mnyno , sure ns I nm horcl"
. A banker from Omaha , n scribe and a
Davenport banker wuro in the lattnr's
surry riiltng on the Locust street road ,
when a rig went wast them like a streak ,
VS
slowo dup a little ways ahead , and soon
was away like a flash on the level road
npaln. And whun It passed the Omnium
made the exclamation. It wusan opnor-
tunlty for the scribe , and ho could not
forgo it , for Mr. Mtiync is a resident of
Davenport for the summer.
"Are you well acquainted with Mr.
Mayno , " he asked. The Omahan re
plied that ho was , and the scribe said :
"Ho is such a young man in appear-
aucc to bo as wealthy as ho is reputed
to bo how diil hu nmko his money ?
Did ho have capital to commeuco with ? "
"His is a
aVKUY SlXOri.Alt CAlttXU
not many liistories like it oven in ( his
country of rapidly made fortunes. Hu is
president of the bank in Omaha of which
I am one of the diiuctor.s. 1 know his
father , who has told mo about his son.
Young Mavno was l > oru in Van llnn-n
county in Iowa. His father was au curly
settler in Wapullo county , and owned a
farm which is now the site of the city of
Oltumwa. His fattier built many miles
of thu UurliiiKtoti & Missouri railroad as
contractor , and was well olV when lie
settled in Van Huron county where ( ho
ion was born. When thu son was ten
years old , a firm of contractors whoso
paper iMr , Mayno endorsed heavily ,
failed , and lie was involved in thu ruin.
The boy
STAUTr.D OUT
for himself that very year. 1 heard him
say once in a joke that ho 'never had
school advantages , if ho had iio might
have made more money ! ' After being
an errand boy two or tlireo years ho
learned telegraphing , anil when Tom J.
Potter , now general manager of the
Union Pacific ! railroad , was station agent
at Albia for thu Q. , Alayne was his tele
graph operator. Only the oilier day
Potter told mo that hu said to Mayno
once , 'Yon will either be a very success
ful man or you will bo hanged , one of
the ' "
two.
"How long has Mayno been in
OMAHA ? "
asked the scribe.
"About eleven years came in 1870 ,
worKcd as telegraph operator at first and
then as newspaper man on the HKK. Ho
saved several hundred dollars which ho
invested in an Iowa co'il mine specula
tion and lost ovcry cent of it. That was
in the summer of 'S3 and that fall he
had just $1.50 in Ins pocket whun lie
opened a real estate ollk-o in Omaha ,
with a chair and desk as its furniture.
You never saw such
A I'USIIKK
in business. lie set book-keepers , clerks
and mechanics wild over real estate. Ho
got the agency for the sale of lots in an
addition. Ho would bono every married
man who had no homo of his own and
every single man who had saved some
thing , he could lind.
"Hero , why don't you buy a lot for
yourself , doii'tyou know Omaha is bound
to grow immensely ? IJu.y a lot and
iloublo your money on 'it. " Ho got
people to buying lots with a little uish :
down and thu rest on time. He started
a real estate boom for Unit addition in
that way , nnd luck was in his hands.
Ho bought lots himself , paid a little
down and sold them in a few days with
a neat prolil. The second year Iio went
into
mr DUALS.
Ho negotiated for a piece of property ,
agreeing to pay $100,000 for it. All the
busmen men in Omaha stared at him ,
wondering what ho was about. I thought
ho was crackod. Well , sir , in less than
a vear ho had closed that property out at
a profit of ! ? ( il'JUOU. He paid iJT.'i.OUO for
another tract , and ' .ho same year made
$ : ! o,000 on it , and still owns a portion of
it. Ho took a pieoo of properly to sull on
commission and his commissions
amounted to $10.000 thu first day tliu
end of the second day saw it closed out
with f20,000 clear prolit in his pockets. "
"How on earth could that bo done in a
place thn size ot Omaha ? " asked the
acrihn , marvelling at Mich astounding
quickness in securing a great fortune.
"It is strange , almost a mystery but it
is the truth. 1 think no other man in
Omaha over made money like that. Why ,
did you ever hoar what ho iliil with your
TWO D.vvuNTouruiw ,
James Thompson , the banker , and Eras
tus A. Henson ? that deal in their addi
tion ? Mayno , Thompson and lienson
bought a section , 040 acres , which lay
five miles west of the court lionsu in
Omaha , and paid ? 130,000 for it , They
platted it into lots , and went to work
buildinc a horse rail way to it. The first
tlireu days after they commenced dispos
ing of the lots they sold enough to pay
for the whole tract , and the total space
sold was but 123 acres , or just a fifth of
the wholo. Mayno got up an excitement
by advertising a couple of weeks before
the sale that set the real estate men and
the people who had money to invest wild.
Ho was great on advertising
USING NUWSPArUIIS.
Ho paid the HKK. the Herald , the Repub
lican , $100 to .fl.OOO a week for advertis
ing weeks at a time. Ho hud one of the
best writers on the Now York Herald
write Omaha up in a descriptive way an
'entertaining , readable letter by a casual
traveler and paid the Herald ? 1,000 a
column for it. He paid the Chicago
Tribune $100 a column for the same
woik. Did ttio same kind of advertising
in thu Boston Herald and Philadelphia
Times. His name or business was not
mentioned in these articles , but every
one of them paid him a thousand per
cent. No man living has done more for
Omaha than he. "
"What has brought him to Davenport ? ' ,
"Well , sir , I think the man was
WOllKlNtt IIIM.SEI.KTO DEATH
I know it. He is president of a bank ,
president of cloven dillerunt business as
sociations , and member of many others.
The board of commissioners of public
works in Omaha consists of three mom-
burs ; and Mr. Mayno is one of them. He
has been away now nearly throe months
and if ho doesn't return buforo the end
of this week tlioy will declare his place
vacant nnd eleoc a successor , in justice to
liia colleagues. So in attending to his
own business and that of all others , the
man worked sixteen or eighteen hours a
day , month in und month out , just as ii
his iron constitution could not be broken.
One day , without previous warning , ho
was taken with hemorrhages of the lungs ,
nnd broke down all at once ! Ho is hereto
to get cured by moans of treatment nnd
the wholesale air of these healthy hills
You'll find he has a band in this growing
boom of yours some day. "
"He takes n good deal of Interest in
live stock. That mare that flow past us
cost him | 5,000 , " said the Davenport
banker the first remark bo had made
during the conversatiou.
" 1 guess sol Ho has a

the oiler reached $800 nn ncro. Mr.
I'arkor I refused it , anil wisely , for 1 heard
Mayne say , when ho Vfns in Omaha a
month ago , that if' Mr. Parker would
Jt
take $1,000 an acre for thu tract ho would
guarantee I him the money in forty-eight
hours. That is $1,300,000. How many
men in Omaha are worth that amount ? "

The human system is a fruitful soil ,
and among seeds that gunninato most
rapidlv in it are those of rheumatism and
nourafgia. A slight cold , brought on by
sitting in a draught , wet feet or damp
clothes , will develop either of those
abominable painful maladies with un
pleasant rapidity. The proper prevent
ive of this ngonlV.lng vegetation is Hos
teller's Stomach Hitters , a medicine
which nullifies a tendency to either of
the maladies named , and soothes the
aches which they cause. Nor is it less
elluctivo as a remedy for rheumatism
than as a preventive , a fact as amply at
tested as any other relating to Us cnra-
tivi1 properties. Mariners , miners , front
iersmen , and others , have found it a
faitnful preservative of health in unfa
vorable regions , and a benign remedy
for malarial disorders , nnd stomach , liver
and bowel complaints. It is a tinu promoter

CAUGHT A VERY QUEER FISH.
The AninzlnitSlutit Which Kriglitcncit
Chii'l Kawoah .Nrnrlv < > "t oJ' IIIVltn ,
Sail . ) o .u Herald : Itank Commissioner
Polls , of Los Angc'lcs , had an amusing
experience in the gold tiuie.'i of Califor
nia. The story , as told , runs as follows :
In the early days of the gold oxeite-
mcnt , , buforo many of the young iiu-ii of
tlio jI j present day were born , Mr. Potts and
jt his I partner , both miners , put their heads
jI
together and decided that there was
probably I gold at the head waters of the
San Joaluun. They thought it would bo
well to investigate Iho mailer , and ac
cordingly they set on' ' . . In duo lime they
arrived at their destiinalion.
They discovered a deep hole in the bed
of one of Iho forks , and they concluded
that if there was gold anywhere in the
bed of the stream it was in that hole.
They tried diving to reach thn bottom ,
but it was too di-ep.and thev found them
selves in n. dilemma. Mr. Polls' partner
boihought him of a diving suit in San
I'raiicisco thai he could procure , and Iho
decision was reached that ho go and
bring it 'I his hu did , arriving with it
alter a time.
Those who have seen a diving suit are
aware of the frightful appearance of a
man arrayed in it. .Tho front of the
'
Iieadpieco' is a largo circular pane of
glass that gives the wearer llio appear-
"unco of a hideous C.yclops. From the
top of the lio.nl runs a rubber tube for
supplying air to thn diver , and there is
also a rope attached for hauling him up.
Mr. Polls' partner arrayed himself in
thu suit. Lying across- the hole was
u fallen tree , and Air. Potts and his part
ner walked out upon Iho log and llio
partner slipped down into Iho water and
was iiiMaiilly out of s.ght ! , Mr. Potts
holding thu rope by which to haul him
up. The agreed signal was a jerk on the
rope.
rope.Vlnlu Mr. Potts was thus sitting on
the log and holding therone , ho appeared
lo be lishing with . \stoul line for big fish.
Ho was llius engaged when Chief Kaweah
and his squaw came down from llio
mountains , where they had been gather
ing nuts. Ho stopped and llius addressed
Mr. Polls :
"Yon kctchum fish ? "

Wiping Out n
New Orleans Picayune : About two
years ago u man giving the name ) o
John Simpson located on Uiiyou Har
tholomow , in Ashley county , Arkansas. .
He cleared a tract of land and built a lo ; ,
house. He was a tall , stalwart fellow ,
wilh dark hair and gray eyes , slniighl as
an Indian , llo lived alone , seldom yen
luring abroad , and avoided Ihe nuigii <
bor.s. Ho was always armed wilh i
double-barreled shotgun. Ituyond .stat
ing lhat ho was of gypsy origin , ho saic'
nothing respecting his pasl life. Thi1
fact caused him to be regarded with sus
picion by parties living in Iho immediate
neighborhood , but so secluded wis hi *
life Ihal his presence was scarcely knnwi
beyond a radius of live miles of his cabin.
Thai he had plenty of money was also a
fact well known lo Ihosc who hail busi
ness with him. Some days ago two
men visited Simpson's house , remaining
over night. They qmutly went away
Yesterday parties hunting stray catllc
passed Ihe cabin and found no signs of
life. Ihe door was broken open , and
Simpson was found lying on Iho bed ,
dead , with his throat cut. The clay lloor
was covered with blood , nnd the over
turned furniture and disordered room
showed that there had been n desperate
struggle between Ihe dead man nud his
assailants. On Simpson's person was
found a watch and money , showing that
robbery aid not prompt tie | murder. It
has transpired to-day that Simpson was
n member of u , band of gypsies who have
headquarters in the vicinity of Jackson ,
Miss. , and Dayton , 0. , and it is said that
ho was implicated in H big robbery in the
latter state , tied here with thu booty , and
was followed and slain by members of
the tribe , who considered that ho had
disgraced both himself and the gypsy
race.
"Bo wlso to-day ; 'tis madness to de
fer. " Don't neglect your cough. If you
do your fate may bo that ot thu countless
thousands who have done likewise , and
who to-day fill consumptives' graves.

TWO LITTLE MAIDS FROM CHINA.
Mott Street's Secluded ( Jlrls With
Crnmpoil Feet ntul Queer llnlr.
Now York Star : Among the children
who have been brought to the attention
of the Society for the Prevention oh
Cruelty nro two Chinese girls. It was
claimed thai Ihoy had been kidnapped in
San Francisco two years ngo , ami held
hero for the purpose of selliuit them as
wives lo resident celestials. The charge
was not proven , and for the present , at
least , Iho case has bcon abandoned , Tim
girls were a novelty hero. As in other
places , thu Chinese do not permit their
wives or daughters to bo seen on tliu
slreet. There are several Chinese women
in this city , anil whun it lias happened
that they have brcn brought into court ,
or into the presence of People with a
nilsMonary spirit , they nave said that
they had nol been out of the house
before for months. Sometimes for
more than n year , and in ono well
authenticated case it was n litllo over
two years since a female resilient of Mott
street had set her foot outside her tene
ment. It was not quilo so bad in the
cases of Iho girls , bill for weeks at a time
it has been the habit of their guardians
to keep them shut up at homo. The
home is near Iho head of Moll slreet , in n
four-story building duvotcd partly to
trade and manulacturo. Cigars are
mnilo on the lir.it lloor and there is a store
lliere also. Up stairs is another commer
cial establishment , and in the ton stories
are tenements. The rooms are , of course ,
small and ill litted for habitation. In Ihal
respect thu heathen little ones are as
well oil'as thousands of their Christian
fellow beings of the east side. Ono of
them is dressed In lint American fashion ,
and but for llio odd waddle that passes
for her gall would not bo taken for a
Chinese nt n distance. The other wears
her native costume. It consists first in a
blouse that hangs from Iho neck to Ihu
knees , nol boiled oa caught in any way
at llio waibl. Loose trousers are. over thu
legs and bound nt thu bottom closely
around the ankles. Thu shoos are thick-
soled , wooden all'airs familial- llie foot
coverings of common laundrymen , but
limy are excessively small and bear wit
ness lo Iho cramping of thu feet custom
ary witli Ihu Chinese , liotli blouse and
trousers are of n pulo blue color , un
adorned with figures. It is the ordinary
custom of the Chinese of llio poorer class.
The shin\ black hair of Iho girl , dressed
like an American , was brushed straight
back from the brow and wound into a
great knot at the back of the head. The
other dressed her hair in the nntivo stylo.
Over each car was a Hal , thin circular
disk of hairlliat looked as if it had been
made of artificial hair , and stuck to the
liuad. All Chinese women learn early
how to do this. A gummy pomade is es
sential to Ihe task , but it'takes consider
able skill to weave and wind the hair into
its thin and circular position. So litllu
hair is used in these disks that enough is
left for a largo coil , which is fastened at
the top nnd back of the head. Neither of
those girls , ono tun and the other twojvo ,
years old , could speak n word of English.
Peculiar
In the combination , proportion , and pre
paration of ils ingredients , Hood's Sarsaparilla -
saparilla accomplishes cures where
other preparations entirely fail. Peculiar
in ils good name at homo , which is a
"lower of slrength abroad , " peculiar in
tliu phenomenal sales _ it has attained.
Hood's Sar.vjparilhi is Iho mo t success
ful medicine for purifying Ihe blood ,
giving strength , and creating an appe
tite.
California Gold Output.
San Francisco Call : It may bo well to
receive the tigiires of the director of Ihu
mint on the gold produclionof California
wilh some caulion. \ \ u are informed by
telegraph from Washington that the
forthcoming report ot that ollicial will
credit California with a cold product of
! fl,720,000 ! ) in 1SSO. It is very doubtful
whether it was anything of the kind.
In Iho rn'ondar year 1885. Ihu gold pro-
duel of California , as given in Iho re
port of thu director of llio mini , was
$12,700,000 ; in 1881 It was $13,000,000 ; in
189iil ; waslliW,000. : 11 has not been
$10,000,000 since 1870. Probably the most
accurate computation of Iho mineral
product of the Pacific slope is lo be found
in Wells , Fargo & Co.'s annual stale-
inont , prepared by John J. Valonlme ; it
gives Iho gold product of California in
18di ( : isfH,0t7,005. ! This does not lake
into account small parcels of gold car
ried away by Chinamen or
other miners from mines worked
on a small scale ; to bo
liberal , Iho estimate may bo raised to
$11,500,000 so as to include those. Thu
Washington dispatch thus asks us to be-
lievu thai the gold oulpul of thu state
has increased § 8,200.000 in a single year ,
without attracting the least nltuntipii or
arousing any excitement in the milling
community. A mathematician might
say thai this was reducing the proposi
tion to on absurdity.
lu fact , wu lio'-o in San Francisco know
all about the yield of the gold nuny& in
tliis stalo. Anyone of a dozen gentle
men in the Nevada block can figure it
out from memory to within half a mill
ion ; and wo venture to say that not ono
of them will estimate last year's output ,
at over $15,000,000 , if Ihoy allow so
much. There was al ono limo a belief
that the extensive gravel deposits of
North Hloomlield and other minus in
Nevada countjlwould bo more efficiently
exploited In 1881 ! than in previous years
during which the stoppage of hydraulic
mining hail arrested their development ;
but the belief was nol justified by llio
event. The yield is very little greater
than it was in 18S5 , and it is constantly
checked by prosecutions instituted by
the anil-debris people.
