"Our engineers uio thoroughly competent. "
"These trains will bo run on time , ns hereto

Sin Having read a ijrcat deal in the papers
nbout the Oiiiahn tt Yntikton rallioad , I have
nl en this liberty of innUhifr some suggcs-
.ions which I think It .woilld bo well for
Omnlia to invcstlgato , ns I understand
Oimiha is looking for nn outlet Into Dakota
oi-rltory , nnd what she wants is a road which
s and \vlll bo cxcluaivolj' an Onmhii road. I
sco by the nincndcd articles filed by the Elk-
liorn St Missouri Valley railroad com-
jiany , said roud in to start from
tno city of Omaha , thence west ,
etc. , with n branch leaving tlio city of
Norfolk , in Madison county , thcnco north
and went to a point on the Missouri river nt
or near the mouth of the Nlobrarn river.
Why not make this road , which Is now com
pleted to Creighton , nnd 1s at this tlino being
extended to within twelve mile * of the Mis
souri nvor , Omaha's outlet Into the territory !
No point can bo bridged with loss cxponsa
than at the mouth of tlio Ntobraru river , bed
rock at about forty feet , the river being
forced into n compact"narrow channel with
high b.inks , nud the road can approach the
river and leave it on the Dakota side with
ft very light grade , nnd will run through ns
beautiful n country as over was seen , being
well settled with prosperous farmers , and
you con shun connection with such towns ns
Ynnkton , Sioux Falls , etc. , which would
bring Omahn into direct competition with
St. < Paul and Chicago or other eastern cities.
* Now , I nm sure that If you use the
proper influence on the Elkhorn & Missouri
Vulloy road you can get them to extend Into
Dakota by the extension of their Creighton
branch without any outlay on tlio part of
Omaha. 1 uin , very respectfully.yours.

How Senator Colliding Stopped H Train
By way of reminiscence , the Chicago
Tribune prints the following1 : "Yours
nfjo I was employed by the Philadel
phia , WHininelon mul Dultiinpro mil-
road nt the juncture a few miles out of
Utiltimoro , " giiid a telegraph operator
vcstorduy. "One afternoon an unusually
handsome and athletic mini entered tlio
little station. 'Docs the limited express
for Washington atop hero'i" ho inquired.
'No , sir. ' I replied. 'Can you stop it1
'Not without orders from the main
ollico. ' 'I will explain my situation to
you , ' said tbo stranger , 'in the hope
you will do all in your power to aid mo.
I came from Washington to intercept at
Baltimore n genttoman who is on his
way from Now York to the capitol. Ho
is on the limited express. It is is of the
greatest importance I should bee him
before ho roaches Washington. A rail
way conductor dirqctcd me to the Union
Station , whore , ho said , the limited
would stop , hut I lost my way and wan
dered hero after a long tramp.
"Telling him I would see what I
could do for him , I telegraphed to Phil
adelphia for permission to stop the ox-
press. "You might use my name if you
think it would bo any use/said the gen
tleman. 'And your name is,1 said I.
'Conkling ' Hoscoo Conklitig,1 replied
the gentleman. I Hashed ever the wire
'Senator Conkling wants me to stop the

The answer came back : "How do you

I fenid : 'Philadelphia ' wants idontlllnu-

At the same time , either by design or

the bounder replied : 'Stop train. By

Enormous Foot That Shoo Donlors
Have to Dross.
THEY CALL FOR NUMBER NINES.
The Average 81\pi Worn by tlio
UniiKhtcra < > f lOve Something
Concerning Kill Gloves nml
Their IJuyers.
Glovo.i nnd Slions.
A neat foot in n tidy fitting ihoo or boot Is
tlio prldo of the average iimn anil woman ,
and It goei without saying that they will In
nine cases out of ten sacralloo the b.ilanco of
their nttlro for the more a-sthetic nttlrcmcnt
of their feet. This weakness Is moro notice-
nblo nmong the fomnlo sex , nnd Uio existence !
of the shoo clerk Is made miserable ) mid des-
pcrato at times in catering to the whims nnd
vanity of the customer. Ho must bo gentle
manly , patient , discriminating nnd n good
Jmlgo of human nature. His llrst duty , so to
hpeak , Is to sl/.o uo the tompurmmiU and
tnsti's of Ills customers and act accordingly.
If a woman with a number four foot comes
in nnd calls for n number thrco shoo , ho
mu t abide by her demands , not betray his
emotions but look pleasant while ho strives
to foivo the much undersized nhoo on. the
overlarge foot. This Is a very difficult task ,
but practice In tlnto makes perfect , nnd the
clerk flnnlly becomes hardened to the cruelty
the buyer inlllots upon herself.
AVith n vlow of obtaining some statistics as
to the prevailing sUcs of shoes worn by
the men nnd women of Omahn , a HIR : re
porter ono dny last week made a personal
visit to n number of stores , nnd learned
many things that surprised him. At the
establishment of Charles W. Cook a half
do/en clerks wore busy fitting1 shoes on the
feet of men and women , and , replacing in
boxes numberless pairs that had boon tried
on and discarded by dissatisllcd customers.
"What nro the average st/cs of shoes worn
by women S" uas asked of the jounger Mr.
Cook.
"Well , " was the curt reply , "they vary
like the weather , nnd wo soil some very
largo ones nnd some very small ones. However -
over , ns far as my observation gors , the
ruling slros nro from 8to 4's , made on dif
ferent kinds of. lasts. Some me longer than
others , and others broader. Wo do sell some
3's. but they nro few nnd far between , and
In instances of that kind it may bo set down
that the purchaser would enjoy greater com
fort in a shoo n half or full size larger. "
"How is It with the men ? "
"Men ns a rule wear from 7's ' to 8's. but wo
have larger sl/.es. Nevertheless , the first
mentioned numbers take the lead. "
At the store of A. D. Morse the clerk tit
tered when questioned , nnd thought the in
terrogations put to him wore quite novel to
say the least. "Wo have some very amus
ing experiences in our business , " ho went on
to say , "and It would take n whole page of
the HUE to enumernto them nil. At this
store the greatest call is made for 8) 3 and
IXs , nnd in ordering wo always got double
the latter number of any others. But wo
have m stock ladies' shoes from sixes up to
nines. "
"Up to nines , " remarked the astonished re
porter.
"Yes , up to the nines , " was the cool reply.
"And what class of women wear those
enormous Hizcsl"
"They are chiefly foreigners. Their feet
do not always call for this slzo.but they seem
to want their money's worth , and fool they
nro getting it in big shoes. They are a curi
ous class to deal with , nnd where a five or a
six would bo sufficiently roomy for them ,
they insist on larger sizes. We have several
pairs In stock , and will sell every ono of
them. "
"Do men , as a rule , require largo shoes ! "
"Men do not wear as largo shoos ns is sup
posed. They will average from seven to eight
and a half , but eight is nbout the nearest.
\Vo have in stock sorao thlrteon's , but these
are called for mostly by farmers and the
brawny butchers , who work at the stockyards
at South Omaha. "
II. Uohle & Co. were next called upon , nnd
the clerk supplied the information that their
sales to ladies numbered from threes to
sevens. "No , wo do not carry any nine's in
our stock , " continued the clerk , "but wo
have had customers whom our number sevens
would not fit. Wo sell moro fours ano fives
than any other kinds , nnd in men's ' the rul
ing sales are between sevens and tens. Wo
have a few steady male customers who wear
us low as sixes , but they uro few nnd far bo-
tween. "
Something having been said at ono of the
stores visited about the hand being an infal
lible Indicator us to the size of the foot , the
reporter made it his business to call at the
dry goods stores nnd glove establishments
and chat with the clerks m the glove depart
ments.
The pleasing little ludy at the store of N.
B. Falconer assured the reporter that her
position was not an enviable ono , and that
the majority of lady buyers wore hard to
please. The sizes of gloves worn nro 0 , 0 , ' ,
Vi % and 6 % , and the sales are principally em
bodied in these numbers. Sales of 7's
and 8's are not unusual , however , and thcso
are called for by tall and corpulent women.
The popular size forgcntlomcn is S's , but O's
are called for at times.
At S. P. Morse & Co's store n slmlliar ver
dict to the foregoing was rendered. Hero
different grades of gloves are sold and it is a
noticeable fact that domestics buy the infer
ior article and select the largest sizes. Woll-
to-do people call for the moro expensive
glove , and us a rule seldom go over ( Vs.
The French kid glove factory niaka a
specialty of superior and high-priced gloves ,
and the lady clerk exhibited a number of
pairs of street and reception gloves that had
boon made to order by society ladles at the
extravagant price of ilO per pair. They wore
made from the finest quality of kid nnd ur-
ranged in size from Ii } to 6) ) { , Hero it was
learned that a largo number of 5 's wore
sold , but the ruling sizes are C's.
Btnto-SiipnnrtPil Theaters.
In the opinion of Madame Modjcska
there ought to bo state-supported thea
ters where good plays would ho properly
produced , for the reason that it is
against human nature to oxpcet a man
ager to lose money , as ho generally will
do , in striving to educate the taste of
the public. The newspapers can do
much toward forming a taste for worthy
plays , and if they made a united ollort
against the dramatic trash wo sco on
i\\fl \ \ boards , it would soon cease to be
popular , Tlio fact is that the Amer
ican people work too hard. They work
so hard that they do not scorn to have
time to enjoy the theater in n artis
tic way they bcem rather to seek
it when they are jaded and tired out
with work , simply for relaxation.
Hence these boisterous frivolous plays
find favor nnd n really good moral play
will not draw the crowd. * * As to
the stage itself there is loss evil among
actors than people supnoso. It is dan
gerous for an excitable young girl , not
surrounded by proper influences , to bo
trained for such a life. But n person of
strong character would ho as safe there
as In many other positions. The weak-
minded , sentimental young woman is
just as liable to meet with disaster from
the influences surrounding mercantile ,
manufacturing or ollico life as
she is on the stage. The life
of the ambitious , conscien
tious actress is full of hard work. No
sooner has she adopted ono style of act
ing with ono manager than she may bo
obliged to join another company and
there receive nn entirely different style
of training. And this
that retards the nrtis '
drama. The uncorta
ing employment is another reason why
wo should Imyo state-supported thea
ters. A manager employs a company of
twelve persona. After a , while ho pro
duces another play in which only six
persons are required ; ho discharges
half of Ills company , and they drift away
to ono place and another seeking
employment. Playing in different
styles of plays is not bad for the actor ;
it develops his genius ; but the uncer
tainty of employment- demoralizing.
If ho knovrsjio would bo regularly at
tached to a .theater for n long period of
time , ho v wuld tuko greater pride lu
hla work , no would have lite family
near him , n ill ho would try to advance-
iifJhis art. Hence
steadily state-sup
ported theaters would bo good for both
the public nnd the actors.
AflcrrXwcnty-Tlirco Years.
Helena IritWpcndont : Two brothers ,
who had not.spon each other for twenty-
three .voarjrgiiook hands in the Grand
Central hotel , Saturday night. They
were Clmnc _ Glass , of the Alhntnbru
Flume company , nnd John Glass , of
Santa Crxiqipounty , Cnl. When the
war broke out the brothers , who were
born In England , lived with their pa
rents on Long Island , N. Y. Each of
thorn , although only sixteen and eigh
teen years old respectively , wanted to
touo a hand in the light. Charles
joined the nrmy and went with
n Now York regimcut. Ho was in
the army of the Potomac , nnd when
the regiment was mustered out ho came
to Iowa. John went in the navy , and ,
after trending the deck of a man-of-war
for five years , loft the service and went
to California , settling down in Santa
county. Charles moved around In Iowa ,
Minnesota and Dakota , finally coming
to Montana * The brothers parted in
180-j , had not hoard from each other in
twonty-threo years , and each ono sup
posed the other was dead. A few weeks
ago II. J. McKinnon went from Mon
tana to Southern California , in search of
nn old sweetheart whom ho hud not
hoard of for eight years. Charles Glass
asked McKinnon to make inquiries
about his brother and try and ascer
tain something about him. McKinnon
found the brother , and the latter con
cluded to come to Helena. When ha
arrived Saturday night , the two mot in
the hotel , but the ono from the coast did
not know Charles , and the latter would
not have known the former except by
seeing him place his name on the regis
ter. Finally the two of thorn met. nnd
each shook the hand of "tho long lost
brother. " The gentlemen look some
thing alike , and a peculiar thing about
them is that both should bo wearing a
moustache and chin whiskers. They
wont to Alhambra yesterday , whore
John Glass will remain until they have
talked over the ups nnd downs of the
last twojity-thrco years.
A Water Wizard.
A country justice of the peace in
southern Illinois has lately rendered n ,
legal decision which is worthy of the
days of Salem witches , says America.
It appears that a wealthy farmer had
chanced to say to an acquaintance that
ho wished ho owned n line well belong
ing to another farmer In the vicinity.
"I am a water wizard , " said the man to
whom the wish was expressed. "Give
mo 810 , " ho continued , "and I will lead
the stream of water from your neigh
bor's well into your's. " The farmer
agreeing to pay that sum , the self-
styled water wizard wont to work.
With a forked twig cut from a
poach tree , and held in his hands
nftor the most approved manner
of rural magicians , ho walked back and
forth fromono , well to the other several
times , dug n few shovelfuls of earth
from the bottom of his employer's well ,
and then declared his task accom
plished. Ho received the promised fee
and went away. The well from that
time on contained moro water than it
had over done , before , probably because
the wizard's shovel had Improved it.
The owner of the other well , however ,
getting wind of the matter , nnd choos
ing to Dollovo that his well , had been
ruined , brought suit against his covet
ous neighbor. The evidence in the
case was heard by the nearest potty
magistrate , who then , without hesita
tion , awarded substantial damages to
the plaintiff.

The Demand for Shorthand Writers
Is largely in excess of the supply , and such has boon our success in furnish *
ing business and professional men with good stenographers and typewriter
operators that they arc constantly calling on us for the same. Every well
regulated office or business house has use for a stenographer and typewriter
operator ,
Situations Secured.
i
All our graduates occupy good paying situations and none of them have
failed to give entire satisfaction. The average wages received by our grad
uates is larger than by students from any other school in the United Stales ,
We invite comparison.
fudents Can Enter at Any Time ,
No Summer Vacation ,
Individual instruction is given each student until they finish the
principles when they enter the practical department and are advanced as
rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness. We have day and evening ses
sions. The latter for the benefit of those who cannot attend during the day
Shorthand as an Employment for Women.
To whom it is peculiarly well adapted as a means of employment , at a time
when they justly complain that many of the avenues to independence enjoyed
by men are barred against thorn. We know from observation and experience
that the average young woman makes us ollicient and satisfactory a phono-
grapher as her brother , and that she is paid for it more nearly in just proportion
tion to the work done than in any other branch of labor wo can name.
Wo keep on hand a full line of shorthand text books and shorthand
writer supplies.
