"Him at the Threshold Met and Well Did Enterprise.
TO HIS EXCELLENCY , GROVER CLEVELAND , PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ,
While prominent citizens of all shades of political opinion unite in receiving and entertaining you , showing you the many attractive features of the most enterprising
city in the west , and pouring into your ears its merited laudations , we have taken the trouble to collate a few statistics , which we hope you will-find of material use to you in
* t
your future reflections upon the prosperity of this part of our country.
No matter whnt you examine yon
will bo amazed nt the marvelous
growth of our city. We can only
nope to present to your notice a few
of the miuiy fncts which benr upon
upon the subject.
The growth of the Live Stock bus
iness is one of the most important.
The favorable location as a collecting ,
distributing and packing point led
to the establishment of the Omaha
Stock Yards at South Omaha in the
year 1884. The following table shows
the value of cattle handled since 1884

by comparison with the record of
, other cities it shows that the increase
in business is far more rapid than ut
any other yards in the country.
THE HANKS.
There are eight national panics , five
private banks and two pavings banks
in the city , besides two national banks

[

Jj : ' kn is indicated by the following com
parative table of deposits :
.limp , 1h77 . ( 2,200,000' '
Jlilif , 1M > 7 . 12,772,000
The banking capital in that time
has been ' creased from $490,000 to
§ 2,970,000. The loans have increased
in the same time from § 1,232,000 to
$8,730,000. Thus without a failure
our banks have grown from small in
stitutions till they are bulwarks of
strength to the commerce and manu
factures of the city.
The best indication of the extent
and activity of business is the rep ort
of the clearinghouse. The clearings
for the first six months of 1885 , G ,

It does not appear necessary to
make any comment upon such an ad
mirable showing.
THE JOHIIIXO TRADE
Is growing in volume year by year
and the number of firms rapidly in
creasing. There are now 227 whole
sale houses and with the linn hold
that Omaha now has upon the trade
of the vast territory tribut ary-to her ,
it cannot but continue to prosper.

of the business for four years :

THE GUAIN TRADE
Of Omaha has grown steadily in the
past , and will increase more rapidly
in the future , since live stock and
grain markets follow each other
. This thousand
closely. year thirty-five
and cars of corn have been received
and other grains in proportion. The
trade is yet in its infcncy , but is cer
tain to increase.
THE MJM1IEH TRADE
Is growing rapidly , and has assumed
gigantic proportions , This is but a
natural sequence to the rapid growth ,
of the city in buildings.
The following table indicates the
growth in the past year :

THE MANUFACTURING
Interests of Omaha are growing in
importance as rapidly as other inter
ests , which is indicated by the fact
that there arc six thousand men cm-
ployed in manufacturing interests ,
with a monthly pay roll of § 270,800.
The wonderful increase in the whole
sale trade of Omaha will certainly in
crease the manufacturing establish
ments. Such has already bee n our
experience and with the continued
growth of the city in other avenues
we may confidently expect to assume
our proper place as n manufacturing
center.
OUR SCHOOLS.
We are justly proud of thsni.
There are now twenty-three school
buildings in the city which cost
1800,000. , There are 170 teachers and
O.OGO children in attendance.
THE IMMENSE POSTOFF1CE
Is worthy attention. The business
of the city postofiice ns a natural se
quence of the remarkable growth of
the city , has arrived at formidable ,
proportions.t
The total number of carriers cm-
ployed ten years ago was six. This
year there are four times as many ,
while the total letter delivery is more
than sixteen times as great as it then
was. The following table furnishes
an interesting comparison :
1877. 1887.
Carriers a 24
Total letter delivery 7A211 ll,87nK12

It will be observed that in ten years
the letter delivery shows an enownous
increase.
The comparative statement of post
ofiice finances for the past seven
years is as follows :

This great increase in the receipts
of the office is far out of proportion
to the expenses which have increased
in much lower ratio.
The following table shows the in-
creiise of expenses :

During the past seven years the net
revenue which the government de
rives from the Omaha postofiice has
increased as follows :

So that Uncle Sam actually makes
an annually profit out of the Omaha
postoflice of § 123,000 , or three times
as much as he made six years ago.
The United States probably makes
a larger profit out of the Omaha post-
office than in any other.
But we need a large postofiice
building , and when the authorities at
Washington are convinced of its
necessity it will surely be given us.
The improvements in buildings
shows for itself. Immense _ struc
tures are goiii up on every hand.
Remember this , that

It wast not necessary for the rcprcsenta-
Uvcs of tha jxjoplo of Omaha to assure the
Knights- Pythias that they wore heartily
urclromo to the Gate City. Actions speak
'oudcr than words , and the hearty greetings
iccordod the visiting members on all hands
linco their arrival has been enough to con-
rincethcm of the appreciation with which
Uio order and its proceedings nro regarded.
But in accordance with nn established cus-
iom it was necessary to open the gates und
Jellver the keys to every nook of the city in
l formal manner , and right royally was this
duty i > erforincd by those upon whom it was
lini > osod.
Exposition hall was comfortably filled by 8
t'clock last night , when the reception took
place.Governor Thayer was escorted to the
ball by a detail of oftlccrs , and Major-General
Carnahan entered later , accompanied by his
Hides and the officers of the Second regiment.
Adjutant General J. E. Smith acted as chair
man , nnd in a few words introduced Acting
Mayor Ucchol , who , on bchulf of the citizens
Bf Omaha , welcomed the members within its
Bates und assured them of the best of treat
ment from the neoplo of the city they hud
honored by their presence.
Governor John M. Thaycr was nest intro-
fluced and tendered a cordial welcome to the
knights of other jurisdictions within the bor
ders of Nebraska. The governor sjwko
briefly of the progress of the order since
its organization and expressed the hope ,
entertained by nil who hud occasion to ob
serve its achievements , that the good work
of the society might continue with renewed
vigor. At some length the governor siwko of
the principles of the Knights of Pythias ,
"Friendship , Charity and Ueucvolcnce , " and
with u tribute to the uniform rank for its
grand corner stone loyalty to the govern
ment ho closcd.with u hearty welcome iu
the name of the people of Nebraska.
Colonel John J. Monell wus the next
speaker. The colonel referred to the recog
nition by the highest authorities of the state
nnd municipality paid to the order as ovl
denco that the Knights of Pythias was recog.
nlzcd in nn ainircciutivo manner by the IKSO-
plo. The gold lace and bright swords glitter
ing in the sun were not , the speaker said , tin
entire object of the uniform rank. On tlu
contrary , these were the slightest. Hehiiu
the glitter und pomp of public dlsplu ]
there were principles of which ho could no
fully speak , not the least among which wai
fealty to the American flag. The lesson :
taught on the path through Pythiunism wen
such , if strictly adhered to , us would wel

Notable IMiythiaiiH.
Colonel II. Crager was born in Philadel
phia , April , 1837. In 1857 ho took a prom
inent part in the laying of the first Atlantic
cable , on board the Friguto Niagara. During
the war Colonel Cruger served in the Penn
sylvania bucktails. In the year 18G7 ho be
came a Knight of Pythias , being initiated
into Crystal Fount .lodge , Philadel
phia , and afterwards instituting the
ledge known as Rising Sun ol
that city. In March , IbtiS , Colonel
Crapor came to Omaha and was nmdo D. G. C.
for Nebraska , and instituted the lirst live
lodges of the order in the state. Ho was
made venerable patriarch of the flrst grand
lodge in the state , was representative to the
hupremo ledge for thrco terms ,
and iu June , 18S7. was made utdc-dc-camii
on the stall of the major-
general with the rank of colonel. That posi
tion ho holds to-day. To his untiring efforts
is duo much of the progress and prosperity ol
the order in the stuto to-day. In the hearts
of his fellow knights Colonel Cr'iger occupies
an unusually warm place ; for him they en
tcrtuin gratitude and esteem of the highest
order and his jwsition in the pythiun ranks
to-day is ono of decided importance and re
sponslbility.
Colonel John J. Monoll , aide-de-camp or
the stuff of the major general , was born October
tobor 3 , lt > 37 , in New York city. There IK
lived until the ago of twenty. In 1S57 hi
came west and settled in Omaha , where hi
remained until ISM , then with others ho lef
for the gold regions , where ho rcmnliict
until 1804 when ho moved to Council Uluffi
and engaged in the book and stationary bus !
ness. On October ' . ' 0,1871 , ho was married t <
Miss Ella Lawrence , a daughter of Dr. M. U
Lawrence , of Council BlulTa. In 1S73 hi
cumo to Omaha , where ho has lived eve
since.
Colonel Monell became a knight In th
autumn of 1S71 , Joining St. Alban's ledge No
15 , of Council Ulufls , and was the flrst C. C
of that lodge. In Omaha ho united with th
Nebraska ledge No. 1 , und is yet u uicmbc
of that lodge.
Iu 1875 ho was elected grand chancellor o
Nebraska and was ono of the representative
to the supreme ledge until ISb'J. .In 18S1 h
was made an aide on General Carnahan'
staff and had command of the division of th
uniform rank In the state of Nebraska up t
Ouly when the brigade was organized.
A genial gentleman and an enthusiast !
Pythian , John J. Monull has by his zeulou
labors in the cause of Pythianlsm , won th
gratitude and esteem of the knights of thl
us well as those of other jurisdictions. As a
cxGinpUllor of the unwritten work and a
authority upon all Pythian matters it is n <
too much to say ho is rated among the be :
in the order Universal.
Among the pioneers'of Nebraska Pythlai
ism is li. E. French , the present G. K. of I
& .S. or this state. U.ls but a fitting tribute 1
the zeal and worth of this knight that lie
should have held the oflico of G. K. of H. &
S. for n continuous term of eighteen years
without doubt the lorigest term of service by
any person in a position in the order. Mr.
French was born in Oswego , N. Y. . Septem
ber ua , 1841 , where ho lived until twenty
years of ago , when ho moved to the oil re
gions of Pennsylvania. In 1808 ho came to
Omaha , and for nine years followe.d the in
surance business. Since 1883 ho has been en
gaged in the real estate business in this city.
In December , 18CS , Mr. French became u
knight , joining Nebraska lodge , No. 1. At
the first session of the first grand ledge of
this state ho represented Damon ledge ( now
defunct ) and was ut that time elected to his
present position. On October 27 , 18G7. ho was
married in Union CityPenn.to Miss Eli/abcth
McLean. Mr. French has attended every
session of the supreme ledge since 1808 except
the session held in St. Louis. As u slight
recognition of his valuable services to the
order the Pythians of this section contem
plate presenting his name in connection with
the oflico of supreme keeper of records and
seals before the supreme ledge next June.
His endorsement for this position will bo
strong and his election will be a worthy
honor to u worthy man.
Colonel E. S.Mtadcliffo , of St. Paul , Minn. ,
is un uido on the stuff of General Carnahun.
Colonel Uadcliffo was born Juno 2 , 1854 , in
New York city und in 1801 went with his
parents to St. Paul. In 1875 ho became. a
knight and in 1881 a member of the Uniform
rank. In October 18M1 ho was appointed aide
to the major general for the state of Minne
sota. Colonel Uadcljfl'e is an architect. In
early life the taste for military
honors developed itself in this
young Pythian , us will bo seen by u story
related by his Minnesota friends.
In 1804 , ut the ago of ten years , ho left ,
clandestinely , the parental roof , and arriving
at Fort Snclling applied for a position us
drummer boy. Ho wus refused permission , to
go out with the troops , but so earnest were
his appeals for an opportunity to display his
chivalry that the commander of the post per
mitted him to do service nt the post in the
capacity of drummer. There ho remained for
two months , laying plans for a trip to the
front when ho was captured by the enemy
( his father ) and returned to his homo. The
love of military tactics still exists in the
young drummer and ho is. regarded as nn
excellent disciplinarian and u successful
ofllccr. _

The distinguished railroad party which the
Jui ; announced some days ngo would urrivo
icro this week , came in yesterday afternoon
rom Duluth. They came over the Chicago ,
3t. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad in
he elegantly appointed private car of the
Vanderbilts , and were met at the depot by a
number of curriugea and driven through the
principal thoroughfares of the city. The
tarty consisted of Hon. Chauucy M. Dcpcw ,
> resident of the New York Central ; Cor
nelius Vunderbilt , chnlrman of the board of
directors of the same road ; M. E. Webb ,
superintendent of the sleeping car depart
ment of the New York Central ; D. P. Kim-

road ; M. L. Sykcs , vice president ;

* V. H. Fearing , of the Hudson River road ;
W. Fitch , of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis-
iquri Valley , und John DoKoven , of Clovo-
u'nd , director of the Luke Shore & Michigan
Southern. The object of the visit hero on
the part of the Northwestern people was an
inspection of their lines in operation und
those in contemplation , while the representa
tives from New York und the east were en
route to Kansas City , where it is understood
a railroad deal of gigantic magnitude is iu in
cubation.
A representative of the Bun intercepted
the party us they alighted from the train ,
, ind en route to the carriage maintained a
liurried and running interview with the Hon.
Clmuncoy M. Depow , who , by the way , is a
possible republican presidential candidate for
IbSS.
IbSS."What is the occasion of your visit to
Omaha , Mr. Depow ! " asked the rcirartcr.
"Only an airing. These gentlemen ,
I believe. are overlooking some
railroad lines they uro interested
in. You've got n great town hero , they say 1"
und ho smoothed down the fingers of u very
neat-fitting pair of maroon kids.
Of course the reporter assented to this , but
ns the party was fast ncaring the carriages ,
it allowed him no time to expatiate upon the
wonders of Omaha. Ho hud but u brief
moment to get in his work.
"Tho presidential outlook. Mr. Dcpcw ,

tinued.
"I have neither the titno or inclination to

The distinguished gentlemen then boarded
their carriages und were whirled nway.

A Woman Saves Her Bnbc , Hut It )
Killed Herself.
Yesterday afternoon at ! iW : ! o'clock n
woman named Mrs. Mary Murtz was run
over by B. & M. curs In the yards ut the foot
of Leaven worth street and killed. She was
near her sister's residence nt the time and to
shorlca the distance she attempted to crawl
under an ciupty cur , with several others ,
which had for sevcrn-l days past been stand
ing on u side track. A Hying train was
backed on the same track to push the ob
structing cars out of the way just HS Mrs.
Murtz wus crawling across the track. { The
cars knocked her down and passed over her
body at the hips , mangling her horribly , and
ditching the first cur that passed over her.
She hod her eightcon-months-old child
with her at the time , and with
n touching maternal instinct , she looked flrst
to the safety of her offspring throwing the
little girl several feet from the track out of
danger's way just after the car struck her.
Mrs. Murtz' sister , who was a horrified
spectator of the accident , rushed to the scene
and drew her sister from the track , but she
was beyond all earthly help , nnd in less than
ten minutes was dead. Her husband , a
manly young fellow of twenty-five , reached
the spot too latfe to see his wife alive , und the
young husband , with the little child in his
arms , looking in mute agony at the mangled
body of his wife , wus n sight that touched the
sympathies of all who witnessed It.
The body was placed on u shutter and car
ried to her home just recently finished , about
! iX ( ) yards distant from the scene of the acci
