IT is the rod bandana with the demo
crats , but it is the Btarsund stripes with
the republicans every timo.
Tins is the season of rumors and
canards' . A man must hardly believe
his own thoughts if ho is a politician.
TilK natural advantages possessed by
South Omahn , can not bo longer re
tarded by the unfriendliness of rail
roads. They must give 4n.
I . GBKKUAL Botn-ANOEii was presented
with a sword. But what can a l < irmu of
posico" want with it ? The only cutting
the general is doing is with his tongue.
THEUnitcd States is not the only land
of the free nnd the bravo where the bal
lot will ho cost this year for president.
Mexico is-to choose a chief magistrate ,
and the probabilities are that President
Diaz will ho ro-oleeted. Ecuador , Ven
ezuela , B.oliviti and other republics are
each to make a choice of president.
"
tt" But they are all waiting until their big
sister of the north elects a republican
candidate.
ALF TAYLon , the fiddler politician ,
has secured the republican nomination
for congress , in the Third Tennessee
district. If ho is elected it is to ho
Ir i * hoped that ho will "tote" his fiddle to
Washington with him. A little music ,
ovcn of the Tennessee kind , would bo
'an improvement on some of the "chin
music' * heard in congress. Alf's demo
cratic brother , Bob , defeated him for
governor in the last race , and it is said
that the people are not satisfied with
him now that they have got him. Maybe
the governor has become stuck up and
refuses to go out and play for country
ilaucos.
AT Evnnsvilla , Ind. , last winter Miss
Mamie LTolms became infatuated with
the Salvation Army. She donned a
rod bonnet and run away with the gang.
She has just returned to her pnrcntu
the possessor of a Httlo moro knowledge
nnd a big- stock of disgust. She says
that the army is a fraud and its olllccrs
n lot of raonoy-malcing scoundrels.
There is no warrant in the Blesdcd
33ook authorizing anybody to go about
tJio country filling the air with toots
rial uibcord. It is said that Jesus in
vited the fishermen of Galilee to follow
him , hut the record falls to stnto that
ho advibcd thorn to swap their nets for
bass drums.
TIIK Now York World looks askance
at the numerous petitions favorable to
the Outhwaito hill ( lowing in on con-
press from hoards of trade of the cities
in Nebraska. ' There is a similarity
about thcso petitions , " says this Iccon-
"
"wghtod pnpor , ' 'which suggests a com
jnon inspiration. " His evident that
the Union Pacific hns its finger in evorj
ono of these jxititioiis with the inton-
'tlon of inflonclng congress into the bo-
.llof that the people pf the west desire

misrepresentation. The people cannot

to make now expenditures and make
now contracts , with money that should
lie used for the payment of the Union
Pueillo's debt IS the government. There
, is no guurnntco.on the partof the Union
Pacific that it will not continue its dls
honest methods of repudiation and ox-
'travagunco under the proposed lenient

fwith the government nnd with the people

out board of directors of the Union Pa
cillo is largely composed of the same

in memory how these wreck
oi-s , under the pretense ot build
ing up the railroad , looted it
earnings , crippled its resources
mid burdened the property with mort

Death of Kmperor Frederick.
Again haa the shadow ot a national
> croavomont fallen upon the Gorman
omrjiro. Emperor Frederick III , who
nit throe months ngo succeeded his dts-
.inguislied father in the imperial rule ,
died yesterday nt Potsdam. The loss
of two beloved rulers in a period of thrco
months invites for the Gorman poopio
the sincere sympathy ot nil nations.
Tt&death of Frederick did not coma
unexpectedly. For Borornl months the
world has been prepared for the sad in-
olligenco nt any timo. Long ago , bo-
ere the physicians would admit it , the
opinion became utmost universal that
ila malady was beyond the reach of
luman wisdom an.d skilh Every an
nouncement of improvement , every
rally of the heroic sufferer , was wel
comed wherever there waa sympathy for
afllictlon nnd .admiration for patient
ortitudo and uncomplaining heroism ,
but inspired little hope that the life of
; ho cmporor could bo greatly prolonged
The rapid change for the worse during
, ho past week denoted that the end was
icnr , so that when it came it found all
prepared. None the less the Gorman
Kioplo will accept their bereavement
with profound sorrow , und there will bo
oven moro , , to sympathize with thorn
, hnn when Emperor William diodfor ho
who has just laid down the impe
rial rule promised for the empire
progress along the lines of modern ro-
'arm ' and advancement that invited to
ilm the respect of people who could not
approve the less liberal policy of his
predecessor.
\Vlththo career of Frederick every
reader of recent history nnd of current
events is familiar. Ho distinguished
himself ns n soldier , while in all other
relations ho showed qualities of head
nnd heart which gave him a just claim
to the affection and confidence of his
people. In the brief time that ho was
emperor , with all the difficulties of his
afiliction to contend against , ho demon
strated that ho had the ability to
rule , nnd what wus bettor , thut ho
had the disposition also to rule in the
interest of the rights of the pcoplo. It
is not questionable that his purpose
was to give to the Gorman poopio the
largest measure of political freedom
consistent with the maintenance ot the
imperial system of government , nnd
could ho have lived they would have
been permitted to exorcise the rights
given them free from the official dicta
tion that has boon the practice. Moro
than nny other ruler of Europe , ho
showed that his sympathies were with
the people , and ho would undoubtedly
have removed evils und introduced re
forms thooiTcctof which would have
been greatly to the advantage
of his country. A man of
moro modern views than his
father and of far moro. liberal und pro
gressive tendencies , the desires and the
requirements of the people would have
received greater regard from him , nnd
this without weakening , but rather
strengthening , the imperial system.
The loss of such a ruler gives to the
Gorman people abundant cause for the
deepest regret and sorrow.
The Crown Prince William succeeds
to the imperial rule under the same
constitutional forms und conditions that
controlled the succession of the dead
emperor. Ho has been preparing for
the great and grave duties that will
now devolve upon him , and in the exe
cution of which Europe will watch his
course with keen interest and anxiety.
His assumption of the imperial
rule has been anticipated with some de
gree of apprehension , hut this fooling
limy bo unjust to the young soldior. At
all events ho hns recently disclaimed
the warlike disposition nnd purpose
which have boon ascribed to him , and
distinctly asserted that ho has no am
bition to achieve military glory nt the
cost , of a great war. Ho is credited
with ability and decision of character ,
and it is quite possible that ho will dis
appoint the professed fears of the na
tions. A few months , or at most a year ,
will disclose his real character nnd his
policy , und fairness requires that ho bo
not harshly prejudged.
Tlio S < iualtlo at tlio University.
The state university has for years
boon a public crib for incompetent ,
wrangling professors nnd n private asy
lum where regents liuvo placed their
friends on magnificent salaries at the
state's expense. Investigations , based
on serious charges against some portion
of the faculty , nave been the lirdt thing ;
in order at each regular meeting of the
regents since the day the doors of the
institution wcro opened to the public.
From the time of the scandalous and
expensive investigation of Chancolloi
Fairfield , the long and tedious farce ol
removing and attempting to whitewash
Prof Aughy , to the present date , there
has been in the faculty continued bicker
ing und strife , Among the glaring in
consistencies , the ono most conspicuous
hns bcon tlio retention of persons gen
erally admitted incompetent retained
solely to gratify the ambition of ono 01
another regent who cared nothing foi
the stuto'but who would sacrifice , every
thing to nbsert his individual power.
At the present time there ib a desire
on the part of throe regents to dismiss
Chancellor Manatt , while the remain
ing officials uro in favor of retaining
the chancellor , and unceremoniously
bouncing Dr. Billings , u scientist , onlj
because Billings fails to agree will
Mini alt.
Is not this n charming state of af
fairs ? The pcoplo of Nebraska , ut nn
ularming espouse , have undertaken to
maintain the university us i
place of learning , a comparatively
free school where all residents
of the state may have access to it am
welcome. It was not the intention that
u half dozen men elected as regents
should use thcr position for pon-onn
ends and cast a stigma upon nn in&ti
tutiou that could bo and should bo the
pride of every , citizen. If it bo true
that those otllciuls favoring Billings
retention uro in possession of facts suf
ficient to justify the ousting of Chancel
lor Mnnntt , under oath to perform
thoii- duty they can do nothing
olee than demand his resignation
On the other hand , if the re
maining regents are cognizant o
the. alleged fact of Billing ! ) ' incompa
tenoy , then they must also ut once dis
pause with his tervicyi. After publiv

TriB superiority of South Omaha ns
n cottlo market over Chicago is shown
n n practical manner by Mr. Joseph
Brcnnatl , a foil known stockman of
Dakota county , Nebraska. He shipped
n consignment of cattle from Dakota
countyjto South Omaha.a distance of 120
miles , for $33 per car load ; the time was
.welvo hours between the interval of
loading and unloading ; the shrinkage
was small , nnd the prices were within a
notch of thos'o at Chicago. If Mr.
Bronnan had sent his stock to Chicago ,
a d is tan co of over 600 miles , ho
would tmvo paid $70 a car load ,
it would have taken thrco days for
shipment , and there would have boon a
shrink-ago of not loss than thirty pounds
per head. The advantages , therefore ,
arc largely in favor of Omaha as a stock
market for Colorado , Wyoming , Texas ,
nil points in Nebraskasouthern Dakota
nnd western Iowa. It must bo rotnom-
bored that our market offers such in
ducements in spite of railroad discrlm-
atton which Is diverting as much' busi
ness as it can to Chicago. If Omaha
'had a railroad of its own to the north
west , which would mnko shipments to
this point by superior facilities nnd rea
sonable rates , and if all the railroads
centering hero would wake up and real
ize that it is to their advantage to build
up a great stock market , South Omaha
jivould immediately become the leading
cattle center of America , It is , however -
over , only a mere question of time when
this will bo accomplished.
SOME months ago the Santa Fo rail
road company determined to boom the
lower Pnciilc coast. What for ? Sim
ply to put moro dollars into the com
pany's treasury. Columns of glowing
description wore sent all over the east ,
and as a result hundreds of train loads
were induced to migrate. Thousands
of men wont there with only enough
money to pay their fare out , under
promise of plenty of work. There was
no work there for them. Scores of idle
men are walking the streets of San
Diego to-day , vainly seeking any kind
of labor. The crows .of outgoing trains
arc mainly engaged in searching the
empty cars nnd brake-bourns for men
who are striving to got back to the east.
The method used to induce these people
to go there was reprehensible in the ex
treme. If the promises had been made
by a private individual of responsibility
the people who were deceived could ob
tain redress , but it is a big corporation
and there is no restitution to bo had.
If the deluded ones don't like the place
they can walk buck , und many of them
are doing so.

There continues to bo a good deal of tin-
easiness in England regarding the inade
quacy of the defenses , and this lias recently
been very much intensified by the assertions
of prominent naval ofllcers that an invasion
is not only a ixmibility , but that its accom
plishment would be by no means so difficult
us would at first thought bo supposed. The
reading of the opinions of thcso ofllcers Is
certainly calculated to create some solicitude
in the English mind , and ought to spur the
government to active efforts to improve
the situation. Yet n Httlo reflection
must convince any onothat dan
ger Iroin this source is ex-
tremtly remote. If Franco desired
to invade , England n great deal
of preparation woula bo necessary , and in
these days work of this sort cannot bo cur
ried on with absolute secrecy. With a warn
ing of only a few days England could prepare
n very warm reception for an invading
force , if , Indeed , the lauding of such a force
could not bo rendered impossible. Still , if
tbo Httlo island is really us badly off in the
means of defense as is represented , the gov
ernment will probably bo forced , b.v public
opinion to provide adequate moans , if it
shall not itself see the expediency of doing
so. W feel cjulto confident , however , that
this generation will not witness any attempt
ut any Invasion of England.

The notion of an Irish exhibition in Lon
don seems a queer OHO. . There hnvo been
many national exhibitions In London of late ,
and some of them huvo been very successful.
It has doubtless occurred to some shrewd
showman that with nil the talk about Ireland
there ought to bo some curiosity about it ,
and that an Irish exhibition in London would
therefore bo likely to pay. The question
what was to bo exhibited must have been in
his mind a minor detail. It is n principal
complaint of Ireland against England that al
the Irish industries were systematically per
secuted by parliament In the interest of
British competitors wlnlo protection pre
vailed , and that since the government adopted
the principle of laissez fuiro in Its commer
cial legislation Ireland has been too poor to
revive her industries. A show of Irish agri
cultural products would not ho so spectacu
lar as to attract crowds , and it is hard to BOO
what clso there can ba to show except from
Belfast. An exhibition of the misery of the
Irish people might bo instructive , but'ivould
scarcely bo attractive to Londoners , nnd , } n-
deed , the project of a special and separata
Irish exhibition in London ought to bo us
bturtling as would that of a special and sep
arate * Scotch or Welsh exhibition. It is a
suggestive fact that it should be received us
a matter of course.

The resignation of a ministry in Spain
generally means the retirement of the prime
minister from ofllco and a change of policy.
The latest resignation moans simply that the
prime minister will bo given opportunity to
form a new ministry more to his liking than
the old ono. Tbo recent ministry will bo ac
credited with two reform measures , a bill
allowing trial by jury , and another sanction
ing civil marriage under certain restrictions.
There is a great deal ot popular discontent
bcciuiso of the great burden of taxes under
a rapidly increasing floating dtfbt , and the
fear of outbreaks induced tbo government to
take vigorous measures against democratic
agitators lu tbo forum ' or on the platform.
Therefore , tbo old promise of an extension
of popular suffrage has necessarily been
kept far in tbo background. After the
Madrid agitation of 1889 the reaction e&v
tb" moderates a predominance , and the
democrats have all along been dissatisfied
with the composition of the cabinet.
Sagastft , as the loader of the liberal party
now , ha * an opportunity to select a cabinet
that will bo largely liberal In component
elements , and In thnt sense , and In that sense
only , is the nrcscnlttftoanROOf mneh interest.
The statement trohT St. Thomas that the
project has been renewed ot telling that
island to Germany Booms to bo based on the
Impression that the latter power Is Just now
the chief purchaser of Islands in the world's
market. But Germany' * method hitherto
has not bcon that of Buying Insular property ,
but of elring it without reference to the
wjshcs of Hu Inhabitants. Denmarkalthough
St. Thomas-Is financially a bnrdon to her In
those later years , would hardly care to nivo
up ono of her thrco islands in the Antilles ,
and the second In point of slzo and popula
tion , vf ithout obtaining a good price for it.
Still , Germany , vrhich hns ambitions that
Httlo Denmark has long alnco ceased to en
tertain , is In the habit of going to considera
ble expense for purely military and naval
purposes , and might do worse than to acquire
St. Thomas as a coaling and repair station ,
Its advantages were set forth at length dur
ing these illstnrrod negotiations which our
own government nt ono tlmo conducted with
a view to acquiring the island. Since then it
has moro than once bcon in the market , and
sooner or later will probably find a pur
chaser.

Thd trouble of Italy with Zanzibar is prob
ably chiefly duo to a dostro of Italy to grasp
territory , nnd unless the sultan can look for
protection from European countries ho will
quickly have to ylohl to the tremendous licet
of Italy , his domains being of n sort particu
larly easy to conquer from the sea. They
comprise the islands of Zanzibar , Homba and
Mitlhi , and also the African coast line op
posite. The island of Zanzibar Is much the
most Important item in the list , while the
strip of mainland \vhlch lies north of the
Portuguese colony ot Mozambique i * but
vaguely defined In the Interior , as the sultan's
authority Is disputed there by independent
tribes. The island of Zanzibar is about fifty
miles loiifr , with half that avcrago breadth ,
ana contains about 20J.OOO poopio , chiefly
negroes , with the Arab as the dominant race.
The sultan's army consists of two regiments
of six companies each , besides a picked
battalion of two companies and a const guard ,
the entire body aggregating only about 1,400
men. His licet comprises one war ship ,
mounting twelve guns , and seven merchant
vessels. It may bo imagined now long it
would take a single ono of Italy's bit ? iron
clads to destroy the port of Zanzibar und
reduce the island. 13ut the security of the
sultan is in the rivalry of interests among
the great powers that watch that no ono of
them gets too much advantage.
The fact that the currency commission of
the British parliament is to report in favor
of a romonetization of silver is of importance.
It would hoof tavfAora importance , how
ever , if there wgrb any likelihood that an
agreement would b.6 reached in accordance
with the commission's plan. That body pro-
IMDSCH that a convention bo arranged between
Great Britain nntT the other European na
tions , together wltg the United States and
India , to unite on .A. system of weights and
coinage whereby a free interchange of silver
nnd gold coin could bo had between the con
tracting nations , each nation opening its
mints to the coinage of silver at tlio ratio
agreed upon. If- this proposition were
acceded to a , trcmendous impetus
would undoubted- ) ] given to trade
throughout the fytforld , nt least for
a few years to conw.2 The United States and
the Latin Union countries have held them
selves In rcadiucss''rtcyi years past to enter
Irtto an agreement \vththd { leading commercial
(
'
cialnations regarding' the union on a com
mon ratio between the money metals , and a
moderate coinage of silver. The two con
ventions held in Paris to bring this agree
ment about failed , because neither Great ,
Britain nor Germany would Join France and
the United States m this matter. It is
scarcely probable that either is any moro
willing to enter into this agreement now
than it was when the monetary convention
of 1S81 was held.

are trurelinft to the republican national con-
vcntiou at Chicago the delegations from the
Pacific coast , namely California , OrcRon and

depot from the west. The lusty cheers
Of the assembled throng , the responses to
the cordial welcome from the occupants of
the rolling palnccs nml the waving of the
silk handkerchiefs , fashioned after the
American flag , presented an inspiring and
huppy'sight.
The train was composed of eight Pullman
sleepers. ThoPtirniso , Esplrn , Castillo , Hucna
Vista. Ban Lcandro , Chlspa and San An
dreas contained the California delegation ,
and In addition to thcso are two dining cars
mid n baggage car. The train Is beautifully
decorated. The first coach bears on the out
side in letters two feet In hcighth , painted on
canvas , the following ; "Pacific Coast Dele

AS BOOH as the tram came to a standstill ,
the delegates alighted on the platform and
were received With cheers oy a delegation of
eight rcpubllciiiiH from Council Bluffs , ' con
sisting of Judge Kcwl , Phillas Burke , C. M.
Hiirul. J , M. Troynor , E. E. Hart , E. II.
O'Doll , II. A. Woodbury and Mr. Shepard.
The imtionni colors were unfurled , nml us
they ( luttered to the breeze three cheers ,
upon the suggestion of a California dele
gate , were given with a hearty
will for James G. Blnino , accompanied
by the waving of silken emblems from the
car windows by the ladies and children in
the party. It having become known that the
delegation had arrived , there was an immo-
dlato rush to the depot from up town of
prominent und nctivo loyal republicans , who
mndo their presence quickly known , mid n
love feast followed. The train remained In
the depot for upwards of an hour , and poll-
tics and the prohablu choice ) of the
Chicago convention for president and
vice president wcro thoughtfully and
intelligently discussed , There was a unanim
ity of sentiment expressed by the delegates
for Bluinc , the most enthusiastic for the
Plumed Knight being Creed Huymoml. chair
man of the California delegation. "Gentle
men , " Ito faaid. "tho Pacific coast knows or
recognizes no political saviour outside of
Blalno ; wo'ro going to the convention to vote
for his nomination first , last and all the ttino ,
Wo'H pivo him 20,000 majority , and when you
speak to our people as to the Quali
fications of Shormnn , Orcshnm , Harrison
und others they toil np their conclusions
with n 'but. ' When Blnino' * name Is men
tioned there nro no 'buU' to their verdicts ,
and they Just throw up their hats and chcor
for him. Mark ray words Ihnt when Califor
nia casts her sixteen rotes lor Blalno in the
convention you will hear a yell that will reecho -
echo from N.'nlno to California. "
Senator K F. Barin , ono of the Oregon
delegates , a member of tho. national repub
lican committee and chairman of the central
committee of hn state , said ; "Oregon's
favorite is Blalno and wo nil want to vote far
him in the convention. Our actions there ,
however , will bo controlled somewhat as to
whether ho will promise to bo n candidate.
With Blalno out of the way the sentiment of
otir slate I * for Qrcsham. First of all , how
ever , we want a protectionist At the helm ,
and will not enthuse much for the candidate
who Is doubtful in tiny way on that important
subject. I do not wish to hnvo it understood
though that the stnto will not
go republican , for it will , and mighty strong
at that. "
"How about the vioo presidency I" the senator -
ator wusnMcod.
"There hasn't been much talk as to that ,
but wo nro anxious that if n western man
gets the first place that the second should bo
tilled by a man from Now York , Now Jersey
or Connecticut. To reverse it if an eastern
man is nominated for president , then tbo
choice of vice president should fall to a man
from Indiana. "
II. C. Osborn , editor of the Evening Ex
press , Los Angeles , said ! "OurCalifornia
delegation la solid for Blalno. Wp hud a
meeting of the delegates and alternates on
the train. Tbero were fourteen delegates
and n number of alternates present. So mo
of them wcro for this candidate and some * for
that , since Blalno's letters were published ,
but they bad nil been for Blalao before that.
They were reluctant , however , in , believing
that Blalno was not to bo considered n can
didate , mid when wo all got together the
love for the old leader could not bo repressed
and it broke forth in the hearty resolve that
the delegation would vote for und support ,
until it was found wlso to change , James G.
Blainc. And I bellovo ho will bo nominated
too. You see wo can't trust Sherman on the
silver question nor Greshain on the tariff ,
but Blaine wo can trust on every thing. When
wo get to Chicago wo will confer with the
delegates from Now York and Indiana , and
find out how they fool , because while wo are
Blaine men wo do not want to bo considered
stubborn. "
M. H. DaYoung. of tbo Chronicle , San
Francisco , said : "Wo nro for Blalno first ,
lust and all the time. Wo nro not consider
ing any other person. There is no room , nt
present , for any other loader with us , and wo
will stick by him until wo find wo can't elect
him. For viro president , I should hnvo no
objection to voting for Dopow. I BOO Tin :
BBK is opposed to him , but then ono might
Just as well bo opposed to all grocers simply
because some of them are In favor of monop
oly. Depow is not a monopolist. Ilo'ls sim
ply paid fifty thousand a year for working
for a railroad company , and that is all.
Ho Is a bright , capable man , and would make
an excellent selection. Blaino's protection
ideas suituson the coast ; in fact , ho suits us
in everything. "
Corporal Tanner , of Brooklyn , N. Y. , who
was with the delegation , was returning homo
after having actively stumped Oregon in the
late election , which closed With a republican
victory on tho-1th of this month. Ho was feel
ing unwell and was found in his section of the
sleeper. Ho said : "I am going homo after
having spent several weeks in the campaign
in Oregon. That was n straight protection
fight. I spoke every night and went there
specially for the purpose. So far as I could
learn the feeling of the people there is for
either Blalno or Grcsham , though they think
that any man who is nominated will win the
fight that is protection will win the fight. "
Dr. Kawson , of Hcno , Nevada , was another
Blaine man. Ho said : "I am for Bloino if
it can ho found that he is to bo nominated ,
.and I think the indications are that ho will
be. The poopio need only the cue and will
heartily support his nomination. For vice
president Harrison wculd be my choice. Wo
are entitled to six delegates and they are all
Blaine men so far as I have learned. "
A Sensation Promised.
New YOUK , Juno ID. [ Special Telegram to
Tim BHK. ] The special treasury agents who
arc busy looking up the case of the alleged
smuggler of $10,01)0 worth of goods , Bcsslo
Montour , are learning some family history ,
which promises to become as sensational ns
that of the Scovillo woman a week ago.
Bcssio is one of two sisters. Both she and
Minnie , her sister , have many points in
common. The dovclopmouts point to her as
an adventuress of the most successful nature ,
several well known men having been taken
in by her. A couple of years ago she went
to London and there ran across Dessoldorf.
the brother of the dressmaker hare , charged
with complicity in smuggling. She got largo
sums out of him and afterwards took up
with un American mining agent ; the five
trunks full of costumes which arrived with
her the other day show her companionship
has not been unprofitable. There uro thou
sands of details which go to make Bessie
Montour a marked woman of her type , very
illiterate but very clever. She has u most
provokingly dangerous habit of boasting of
her conquests and the names she uses in her
bragging moments are startllngly conspici-
ols in England. She uses the names of men
Jiigh in ofllcial rank , very near royalty ,
while her roll of "friends" embraces the
names of high judicial officers , Special
agents are now busy trying to determine
whether the cOctobur importation was an
isolated case which facts scorn to indicate
was the truth , mid next , who wore the par
ticular insiders who stood ready to assist the
clover young woman in getting her heavy
importation through duty free.
Tlio Octogenarian Poet.
CAMDKN , N. J. , Juno ! ! > . [ Special Telo-
graui to the Bm : . ] Walt Whitman Is worse.
He is much weaker and Is drowsy and
languid. His friends uro now moro alarmed
limn they have been since Saturday , when
Dr. H. W. Bucko returned to his homo in
Canada. Last Tuesday night the octogena
rian poet was greatly improved. Ho was
much stronger and In better spirits than ho
has been for several days. When the Ca
nadian physician was with him ho improved ,
since ho loft him ho has been growing weak.

Otnalin Second to Mono In tlio Matter
of Permanent Sldotralkt Una of
the Pavor'B Statement Given
for Publication.
A stroll abont tha business part ot the city
shows every day an Increased activity among
the pnvern. In almost tiny direction can bennon
now Mdcvralta , among which the crixnollthlo
pavement e ms to predominate , in another
month Omaha will be neconiX to non * inalreot
anil MdcwAlk pAVlng. It M settled fact thoohl
plank , aldewalk must RO. In every few cUIc can
they bo found except in the lumber countries.
The writer of thlsnrtlcH while strolling about
the city recently , Imcl his attention attracfoatoa
Bane of men who were lajlng a grauollthlo side
walk on one of onr prominent streets And stopped
to watch the operation , which Is qnlto Interest
ing , and when finished makca as find a Rldeiralk
us can bo found anywhere. While watching
the paving process the writer made the ac
quaintance of one of the men , to whom the
writer l.i Indebted for the following narrative
which la wholly true , and can bo substantiated.
The gentleman In question la Mr. John
of No. 1313 Cnis street , ho works at present for
the Vau Court and llvnndlct 1'nvliiK company.
Mr. Fried , hns lived In Nebraska for over seven
years nnd for nearly four yenrs ho has llvod In
Onmha , for thrco years ho has worked for the
Oiuulm llurb Wire rompany.havliig recently loft
their employ , to work for the Paving company.
Mr. Fried says : "For moro than live years I
have lietiu a tcrrlblo suirerer.mv head seemed to
bo aching constantly , especially between the V
vycs , nnd my none would stop up. llrst on ono
Hide , then on the other , of tun both nostrils. Then
I bugan to notice singular noises In my oats i
roaring or buzzing Rounds they appeared to mete
to be , and somotlmett Bounds like whistling and
hummorlug. About this time tny throat also be
gan to glvo mo n great deal of trouble. I would
always he hawklns and hemming and trying to
clear my thrnat , often ralslug Uttlo hard lumps ,
Homotlmns of a grcanlsb , at other times of a yel
lowish color.
I would often have pains In the cheat , ex
tending to the right shoulder blade. When
drawing a long breath 1 could hoar a kind of
wheezing noise In mr cuo.it. And somutlmos U
would scorn 4.0 mo as It I was breathing through
a sponge I seemed to IKS able to hear the air
passing through. I began to fear tnnt I was
going Into consumption. I was moro firmly
convinced of this when , before long , I com
menced to cough a kind of hollow cough. The
sharp pains in my cheat would extend around
to the small ot my buck.
"Try to prevent It as 1 might , I was forever
catching fro < h cold. I never wus without them.
Mucus would run from my nose , and oulto fre
quently my nose would bleed. At my work t
hnvu to stoop over quite frequently , unu when I
did so I would become dizzy and ovoryihlng
seemed to BWlm before my eyes. Ai night my
sloop did not ro fresh ma at all , and in the mornIng -
Ing would fool as tired and languid as when I
went to bed ,
"My stomach was alToctod. too. I would sit
down to the table with what seemed a good np.
potlto , but after n mouthful or two my nppotlto
would leave mo. K very thine would semi to
sour on my stomach. There would bo almost
constant belching , a disagreeable , bitter taste In
the month , and at last 1 got so 1 didn't care to
look at food.
1 lost Ilc.ilt and strength rapidly and was al
ways fcvllug tired ; had no ambition , r.vcry step
I took luid whatever work I might do was done
wltn anolTort , and after working a whllu or
walking a block or two my hend would perspire
and my limbs would uclio as K 1 had done sumo
very heavy woik.
1 had heard considerable talk about the success
of lr. McCoy In such cases and road novcrttl of
the testimonials published In the dully papers
nnd concluded I woula try him. Jt was with
small hoped , however , for I had tried seven dif
ferent physicians and tried about a barrel of
patent medicines and was about discouraged. I
visited his olllce lu Hamgu block nnd conxultod
him. After n careful examination ho told ma I
had catarrh and that ho could treat mo suc
cessfully for It. I was Impressed with the Idea
that ho knew his business and started treatment
nnd I have tiotbeena bit horry that I did , for
he has tnady a new man of me. 1 have no moro
of the symptoms I told you of , and In short , I
fael better todny than 1 have for live long years ,
and I owe It nil to the skill nnd success of Dr.
McCoy , and do not. lie.sltnto at all to recommend
him to anyone who Is suffering from catarrh.
Mr. Fried , whoso portrait graces the column
above , resides at No. 1213 Unss street , and Is
willing to corroborate this statement to anyone
doubling it.
