The new cltv school building , to bo com pleted May 1.1SW. will also be a line struc ture and will cost S30.000. It will contain seven rooms , and will be ample for present needs. One secret of Chadron'a success Jins been the care taken to suppress and exterminate the lawless class which U so often a forbid- dine fcaturn of frontier towns. Prom the very start this class was given the full extent of tliu law. This soon caused them to leave town , and tbns was avoided the sickening talcs of bloodshed , riot , murder , etc. , which have charncterl/i'd so many western towns. This course has uatnod for Chadron a good reputation , and her society to-day Is second to none , nnd bettor than some of the older towns In thu east. Theclty Imsfoiirchtirches , n W. C. T.

The Chadron Building and i association Is perfected and affords mnla means whereby the poor man can build io his own home , paying therefor In monthly Installments at a low rate of In terest. The latest enterprise hero Is the formation Of the Hlack Hills Marble and Mining com pany by several prominent local capitalists. Many oil companies now operating for the development ot the oil Industry In Wyo ming are organbed here , and Chndron Is really the central mart for the barter nndtradoln thcW > omlng oil and coal Holds. Clmdrnu has four strong banks , two of which are soon to become national hanks and the other two corporations under the laws of Nebraska. Chadron Is too young to boabt ot many solid manufacturing estab lishments. but on account of her natural lo cation ns the center by railroad connection between the Black Hills Iron and Wjoming coal , these Interests will soon come. Iron and timber irom the Dlack Mills will como south and tin * Wyoming coal will come west and these products will meet hero and thus Clmilron will control the northwestern manufacturing Interests. The city to-day olfers the most desirable field for Imestment * n this part ot the west. Every 'stroke for the development of the hidden wealth In con ) , oil nnd minerals In the.se parts of Ne- Wyoming and Dakota more surely sets the stakes of her prosperity , and these Industries ate being mora fully developed every day. Datves county was settled thinly In 1SH4 and no farming was tried until IHbfi , and tlien only as an experiment to see what the soil would do.

ROUSED HIS SCOTTISH BLOOD Charles Sweet Resigns Prom the Now York Yacht Olub. HE IS AFTER THE AMERICA CUP. The Vps cl To He Hullt After the Model of the Famous "Clnra" Omaha rinds n Victim Other Sporting News. A Now Clirillrneor Prominecl , NEW YOUK , Oct. 2.-Special | Telegram to the HKK. ] Late last nlclit It became Gener ally known among the members of the Now York yacht club that Charles Sweet , Scotchman - man and IJiltlsh subject , had resigned from It In order to be able to Issue a challenge for America's cup and that he had already plven Secretary Hint preliminary notlcw of his In tention , similar to what the unsuccessful Scottish syndicate envo last year. Sweat Is a marine lawyer of considerable repute on both sides of the Atlantic. Ho has ofllces In this city and In London and ho personally practices and spends most of his time In New York. He has had a successful local career , Is a man of considerable means and known far and wldo In yachting circles as the owner of the whilom Invincible twenty-ton cutter , Clara. He naturally has cliosen to design Ids now cutter the designer of the successful Clara , William Fyfe , Jr. , who | i uow In this country , and sailed on the Thistle In her races. It Is probable , thouirh It is not quite certain , thattho now cutter will bo a second-class one , and her lines bo an am plification of those of the Clara. Of course a decision on Sweet's uiirt to have a second- class cutter will put the Volunteer out of the question as the defender of the cup. At least the entry of a boat of her si70 against one of such sufl as say the Titania. while not debarred - barred , Is scarcely feasible , and would be the cause of Infinite adverse comment In yachtIng - Ing circles. According to the conditions under ' which the cup Is sailed any boat i over thirty tons is Illegi ble. For the new cutter forty tons Is probably the size. The llndingof a suitable boat to meet her , thorefoie , Is a matter of Intense Interest annni ; yachtsmen and after the nine days wonder of the now challenge has ceased , surmise nn this point will not unlikely give place to fact. Among the flying rumors Is one that Oliver Isetln , owner of the Titania will probably build a yacht to defend the cup. Sweet's new cutter will be built of steel , so that she may carry thonocHssary welu'ht of lead In her keol. Her skipper will bo Captain liarr , who sailed In the Thistle , and who made his reputation during the time ho held the tiller of the Clara. Sneaking of the report that It was his In tention to challenge for the American cup Mr. Sweet said to a reporter to-night : "Tho news Is all true except In onopartlculiir. The putter Is to bo designed by Watson'and by Fyfe , As Burgess has Improved on the 1'uI' ll.in until ho has produced thy Volunteer , so may Watson design a model which may bo as correspondingly great In Improvement on the Thlstlo. The sl/o of the now cutter is uot yet determined. She will probably bo of steel. " Designer Watson said : " 1 think I can Improve on the Thistle. " The Ijaat Game. The game between the Omahas and C.

Lamp. ! * preached before a larjio congregation last evening , taking his text from Lnkd ; ' 17:17 : : "Were there not ten clcansctlM but where nro the nine ? " Christ , saji\ the speaker , was on His last journey from Galileo to Jeru salem , and whouIlo reached Samaria Ho departs from thoypublio highway and goes a long dlstan'qo'put of His course to ineotthcton unfffrtnnatcs , who , by rea son of their infirmity , wore banished from the presence1of "men. This I another iustauco'of ' i Ills divine compas sion and of Ills great concern for the happiness of the suffering. Hero there are ton lepers ; they have been drawn to gether by a common-suffering. The fact that in their isolation the reports about Jesus had rnached them , is a striking proof of the greatness of His fame. Doubflcss they had long hoped that Ilo would como their way and wo can very readily pic ture to ourselves the intense excite ment they must bare felt when they know that Ho was actually passing along the road near by. They could not como nearer to thu public highway than 100 paces , so they raised their cry as Christ and His friends were passing by. It is a moment of desperate hope , in that ory is concentrated the hones and thoughts perhaps of years. Their cry startles every car "Jesus , Master , have mercy on us. " And their cry reaches an car that is never indifferent to the cry of distress. Ho stops and looks towards them. He speaks : "Go show yourselves to the priests. " A atrango command no promise that they would be healed and obedience required no small degree of faith. Their faith was very imperfect. No doubt they did not yet comprehend his messianic dignity and wore doubtless full of confused notions as to who lie was , but they had heard that Ho was a great healer , n great prophet. They appealed to Him and Ho does not reject them because their faith is weak. Wo notice , first , how Christ varies His treatment of different cases. Here His method is to try the faith of thu lon ers ; Ho sends them away unheeded. In another ease Christ will resist strong faith to make it stronger. It is thus Ho tried the SyroptiiiMiician woman when Ho told her that it was not meet to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs. In another case Ho aids weak faith lost Ho quench the smoking flax or break thu bruised reed. The woman who had been sick twelve years , and whom the doctors could not heal , is an illustration of this. When she , timid and shrinking , feared to come boforn the crowd , hut touched His garment. Ho saw the timidity and weak ness of her faith , and Ho said to her : "Daughter , bo of good comfort ; thy faith hath made the whole. " An important fact wo often overlook is this : God employs us in executing His mercy towards us. Ho demands of us to do what wo can thatHo , may do what we cannot. Christ alw'uys insists on this. Lot us sec. To the man with the withered hand Ho said , "Stretch forth thy hand. " How could ho strctch'that , hand torthV or raise that withered arm that had boon useless these five ycnlsv But lie must muko the effort , there must bo the con junction of his will with the divine promise to heal , and in that conjunction ho obtained the divine mercy. Now you have been hoping , wishing , waiting , longing. Christ saya , "Bolievo in me. " You say , " 1 cannot. How can I ? I am full of the leprosv of sin.1' He says , "Try , " and in the 'effort Ho will meet with you and bless jour soul. The mo ment they tried to obfey they were healed , for notice , "And itcimo , ( to pass as they went. " Their faithji a * wti have said was imperfect and certainly mixed up with many erroneous notions , but they saw sufficient to move them to obedience , and obeying they were im mediately healed. You observe that what is ventured on faitli in Josus' promises is never fruitless. A striking illustration of this came under my obser vation some time airo. A Gorman girl reared in infidelity and skepticism , out who was troubled about her soul , came to me and said , "I cannot believe in the divinity of Jesus. " I said , "What do you believe ? Do you bnliovo that you are a sinner ? Would you like to believe Lord is Savior " "Yes " that the your ? , she said , "I would give worlds to bolinvo that He was divine. " "Well , " I an-i swerod , "Jesus says : 'It any man will do My will ho shall know of the doc- tnno. ' Tliis is the promise and now you go to Him and claim that promise , and tell Him you want to do His will. You want to believe m Him , and bee if Ho docs not lot the light of His love shine into your soul. " She came several days after and said she had tried the Lord and now she know Ho was the Son of God , for nothing but a Divine Savior could defer for a soul what Ho had done for her. So tlieso were commanded to go without being healed and in going they felt the electric shock of returning health. Ono of them when ho saw that ho was healed what sensations must have filled his heart ? No wonder ho shouted with a loud voice and praised God. There arc times when men ought to shout. HOW OFTKN VTE AUK UISAITOINTKU OK MKN. "Ho was a Samrtritan. " Iso ono ex- Dccted anything of him. This is often illustrated in life.

AMUSK&RNTS. Opening of the Gorman Theatrical Soaxou Othnr Notes. The first pnrforinahqti of the winter season of Ilaureis & Puls Gorman com pany was given last- evening at Boyda. The audience was large and appreciative and the piece in most respects was pro- Routed m a lively and entertaining man ner. The play was "Jpr Bibllothofcsr , " produced for the llrsttlme ( n this oily. It is the original ol the "Private Secre tary. " vjtiich mt\ilo a preat ! hit with Gil- ictto in iho tillo role , two seasons ago. The latter piece possessed much more stage business than does the "Dor Bibliothokar" though thu plot of the orignal is Bufllciuiitly well conceived to provoke a great deal of amusement. Mr. Kraft , ono of the now members of the new company , had a good mako-up and a fine conception of the character , though some of the effects of his acting were lost by too much play ing to tin ) audience. Harry Maryland was played by Conrad Nios , another now actor , but without the dash and mischiev ous spirit of which it is capable. Mrs. Mouselike made an oxucllont Sarah GU- dcrn , and Mr. Mcnsoliko a bluff MaoDon- aid. All the other members ot the com pany were tlio old favorites mid acquitted tlionii-olvns with tntiir acuustumod ability. The company will play every Sunday night at the sumo place during the sea son. JOHN DIU.OX. There Is a peculiarity in Air. Dillon's noting that is possessed by no other actor.

The Marching Indian * . Btirdette in Brooklyn Eagle : There was one division of the great constitutional parade in Philadelphia last Thursday that should have kept marching on , right enactors actors tl.e state , clear to the Missouri river , and still on , until every state in the union had seen and studied it. Thu In dians ! A band of braves , mounted and in their war paint ; plumed and feathered and fierce visaged , armed to the teoih ; savages from sealp lock to moccasin. Be hind them , on foot , a band of younger braves that will sweep these old warriors and savages out of existence forevpr. In the neat uniforms of their schoolstrim and tidy as any boys in any grammar school in the land , march ing steadily as soldiers , with the free , easy stride born of the prairies , each dark-skinned brave armed with a slate , marched these dusky war riors from Carlisle and Hampton and Lincoln institute. It was grand , it was inspiring , it was sublime , it was Chris tian I A class of boys and girls drove by , singing with nil their Indian hearts in their brave voices : "Hail Columbia , Happy Land. " Anything but a "happy land" has Columbia , from the day of Co lumbus to the day of the cowboys , been for them and their fathers. They sang as ho prophets sing. After them came the Indian boys tit work at their trades ; me chanics , farmers , teachers ; girls at housework ; bright , ncut , happy looking irls ; cooking , sowing , knitting , reading ; trained nurses in a hos pital ward ; useful , happy trirls as your own daughters. Why , I can't begin , o toll you how the "Indian exhibit" im rossed people. I never in all my life saw such an object lesson. Ahead wore the savages , "oxe.coding fierce , " pos sessed with seven times seven devils , and then these boys and girlu , clothed and in their right minds , sitting at the feet of the Prince of Peace. I blushed witli shame for every flippant and heartless word I had over siiid or written about his much discussed "Indian problem : " There was its solution the rescue of a race by a Christian nation. There is something for this government to do _ with tbo next river and harbor appropri ation bill divert the spoil from Mud crock , Sandy run and Beasley's branch and pour it out upon these Indian schools. HAS A HAD MORAL. An Ontahn Gambling Debt of Two Dollars I'ays Twenty Thousand. Harrisburg Telegraph. I was talking with a gentleman from Nebraska the other day , and tin was telling mo of the wonderful jump real ostnto lias taken in some parts of that state , but ono incident ho quoted was particularly interesting. He said that about two years ago a former regular army ollicor. an acquaintance of his , called oil him with the deeds of some property in his city and asked him "whoro the property was located. It was in the evening and the gentleman told thn oflicor to stop with him all night and they would look ui > the property in the morning. They had a pleasant evening , going over the old army lifo and swapping stories of life on the frontier when they were both young and lively and were liable to bet a month's salary on a poker hand. In the morning they looked up the nroporty , which happened to consist of live acres of good land within the limits of the city."What "What do you think it is worth ? asked the ollicor. "About ijao.OOO , " was the answer. "I've been offered $10,000 for it , " said thooHiccr , "and I'm triad I mot you. Now , do you know how I got that prop ortvv" "I haven't the slightest iden , unles1 you bought it , " answered the gcntlo man.

I do uot know whether all lawyers be- icve thoroughly in the cases they defend , Hit I do know that Mr. Sttuknoy thoroughly believes in Jacob Sharp's In- loconco as a briber. Ho regards Sharp is entirely the victim of extortion. The aldermen had him by the throat and would not let him go until ho paid them a certain amount of money. This may bo perfectly true , but the man who submits ojcxtortion , except it bo from pirates who hold his life in their bunds , lias no right to submit. If he should then ho would bccomu a party to a guilty trans- action. 1 hold that the aldermen de serve greater punishment than docs Sharp , because their crime is greater , jut if there should be no bribe-givers .here would be no oxtorters. If they had lemamicd money of Sharp ho would liavo taund it much bettor policy to speak of t by no higher name , if ho had then and : hero refused their demand and. exposed their methods.

Stanlev pur sued his African explorations. William Cooper , of West Twenty-second street , is one of the few Americans who Imvo penetrated that region. He wont over there in 18HJ on a trading expedition and followed the Congo river 750 miles into the country from Its mouth. Ho re mained there about n year to exchange a lot of beads , accordeons , moutli-orguus , jcwslmrps and similar trinkets for the valuable ivory , skins , and similar arti cles of commerce which the natives were glad to barter for his gewgaws. He said the other day that at the end of a year ho sold his goods in Liverpool tor some thing like $ (1,800 ( , which was almost en tirely net prolit. While chatting about Africa Mr. Cooper said , "It lias always been a wonder to tuc that.while the body of David Livingstone was brought back from that country to bo interred in Great Britain with all tins honors that belong tea a great cxplorer.tlie remains of his faith ful wife wore loft where she died. Mrs. Livingstone was in Africa for something like twenty years , following her husband and his fortunes with wonderful faith- fiilnos-i and deserving rare credit for nor fortitude and fidelity. The English gov ernment ought to send for her body , and place it by the side of her husband. " lll'SINKSbr.OOKIXC IT. it is a long lane that knows no turning , and just at present the Wall street breth ren nro rollecting hopefully upon this proverb. Prices have been depressed for a long season , business has been dull , anu about the only things that have oc curred to interest the speculative public Ime been bad tumbles in enterprises. Hut there seems to bo good reason uow to look for something of a boom , though fat ? oxnect that it will begin immediately. The ollect of Ive's exit , and the jack- Rcrew set under the H. iV G. to rebuild its underpinning : , is healthy and encour aging , but It will bo at best but temporary ary unless sustained at once by causes nu re general and far reaching. The best opinion of the street as determined by the writer in a rambling tour of the loading offices , is that this desideratum will be attained , not with a rush , per haps , but in the manner of a steady pull to high prices during several , months of operations. The present condition of business is full of promise therefore for a big revival TI1K I UV rOOI > 3 BUSINESS , Ono of the drv goods merchants of New York , Colonel William L. Strong , of Worth street , had just como down from Saratoga the other day , and fell to talking about phases of the dry uoods business. Ho said that in its general as pect the trade was as prosperous as could bo desired or anticipated , except in the single direction of worsted goods. This is a branch of American industry in which a ruling by the secretary of the treasury has virtually destroyed an enormous American production. Ten years ago there were no line worsteds manufacture ! in this country. Three years ago the product amounted to nearly .t20.000.000. Last year under the ruling of the oucrotarr this product was decreased ovorono-half. Mr. Stroiif' said that a mill which had been yielding an annual profit of $110,000 to $10,000 a vuar would scarcely yield a dollar dividend tins year. 1'ho injury is likely to extend into the future as well , for ho said that importers are taking or ders for these goods at $ l.r > ( > to $1 7,1 which cann'it bo made in this country for less than $1.00. The dllllculty uniso from the fact that when the present tariff law was passed , no first-class wool was used for thn manufacture of worsted goods , and the tariff on the wool imported for t',0 mamiihOtiira of worsteds was put up at a low rate. At the present time lirst-closs wools aru ua d largely for the manufact ure of worsteds and under the ruling of the secretary of the treasury are still brought in at the low tariff.
