The rullioadti lire utterly disregarding the schedule established by the commissioners and charging an excess of Borne t5 ! to 40 per cent , which the shippers are p.iylnguudcr proUst. Mcnnwlillo the law yers are making up the case to bo presented to the Buprcmo court in the October term covering the points sustained by Judge lalruI ! In liU injunction decision. Should the nuprcmo court of HUH btnto do- cida against the railroads as it most likely will an appeal will bu taken to the United States supreme court and a final decision will not be reached for years. The railroads tire now talking "compromiso" and their attorneys Imprudently suggest to tlio rommihsloncrs that If the people will repeal the taw , the roads will como down in their i a tea to a reasonable iiguro. Governor Larrabeo Is watching tha contest with a great deal of Inteiest , butdcclinesto Indicate whether or not ho will convene the legisla ture In extru Bcssion If no other solution of the problem ii reached. The backhono of the recreant senators has been wonderfully RtltTcncd by the unequivocal action of the utate convention , and oven conservnto sen- nlors like Hutchinson , of Wnpello , arc now rcadv to give the railroads such a dose of positive law In the slmpo of an iron-clad tariff as they will not bo likely to forget. It is said that hundreds of cases of o.xtor tion , under the schedule prepared by the commissioners , nro being prepaicd by lawyers in all parts of the state , and thu prospect , for no end of railroad legislation In the near future Is very piomislng. The railroad attorneys realize the ticklish situation in which they have pluc < > d them selves by refusing to obey the schedule , and linvo tried to onjoln ono attorney Hon. C'hnrles A. HiKhop- from bringing suits of thin character. Thlx unheard-of jnocccdliifr of endeavoring to prevent the cltUcns of a Btato from enforcing its penal laws increase1) the feeling of opposition to the roads and will only result in embittering the struggle. Of course no court not absolutely under cor poration dictation would grant or sustain mich an injunction , and the railroad attorneys who suggested this move utterly mistake the temper of the people and exhibit their reel ; less dlircgaidof public opinion. The Mil wuukco attorneys seem to appreciate the sit uation better than the others ana proihptly ndmit that perpetual litigation with the pee I > lo of Iowa U something no railroad can af ford. TUB FAUMEH91 ALU kNCE. The state meeting of the Farmers' Alll- fini'G was hold upon the fair grounds thin wei'lc. About ono hundred mid lifty dele- ( 'ntes were present , lepiciontlng wt'ry part of the stato. Notwithstanding this Is a pres idential yi'ar.pnrtisan ntnfu was lost sight of in the deliberations of the convention. Thu resolutions adopted were more radical than last j car. The lailroad legislation and the action of the commissioners were heartily endorsed ; u 2 cent , f.uo was demanded and the taxation of money and money credits. Although the convention was inado up largo. ly of democrats and grcenbaekers the admin istration of Governor Larrabeo was squarely endorsed by n unanimous voto. Kosolutions wcro also adopted requesting the candidates forcongioRS to piudgo themselves to support uuti-monopoly measures. The defeat of Gen eral A. J. UaUer for the nomination of attor ney general was greatly deplored and the candidates for this position oujtho different tickets wcro requested to define their posi tions and plcdgo themselves to sustain the railroad commissioners. A few hot-headed members wanted to bring out Baker as an independent candidate , but this suggestion was not accepted by the conservative element. It is very certain , however , that tha alliance will watch the actions of Mr. Stone , as attor ney general , with n sharp eye , and should ho lie the least remiss in his rtuties.be will bo fiuimnarlly bounced at the end of his first tonn. Thu action of the alliance will fair ly parnly/o the democratic com liino with the railroads for the election of railroad commissioners. The alliance declined In favor of lifting the present contest lor those positions above the piano of partisanship by the election of Campbell , Smith and Uey. This action will Insure the defeat of both Wills and Lund , for the alliance vote drawn from democrats and Ereonbiickcrs will more than offset any pos- ulhlo defection of railroad republicans. The prohibitionists will also support the republi can nominees. 'While the election of Smith mut Campbell Is assured , the action of the alliance may possibly result in the defeat of Hon. John Mahln , the other republican can didate. Mr. Mnhlu is ono of thu best men In the state , and In every way Is competent for the position. Ab editor of the Muscatine "Tom mil , ho has nwdo a llfo long antl-monop ely record , and , above all , his Integrity is nb- Kolutoly umiucvllomible. Mr. Dcy has been on the commission for ten years.

In ISfiO it Is expected thut the pride of the American uiivy will bo the warship Mtiino. The Mnino does not amount to uuch as yet , but hundreds of men tire limiting 'the Brooklyn navy yard hum with the industry that will in time re sult in the grandest Bhii ) over turned out in this country. The luaino is going to bo n lighting ship. Unlike the At lanta , Bo.ston and Chicago , which tire designed as fawt armed cruisers , the Maine will bo a regular line of battle ship. She will bo fast and still bo a , Tighter. The Maine is the first big ship to bo built ut the Brooklyn navy yard in many years , and thu consequence is , a livelier btato of affairs exists in the yard than has boon known in borne time. It will take at leaht two years to build her. Since the wnr little has been done at the Crooklln navy yard except to put the finishing touches upon vonsols. The Atlanta mid Boston were completed thnro , and the Chicago is lying in the yard now , receiving her finishing touches. It talces iv great deal of machinery to build a Ing bhlp niachinery , too. of a complicated kind. There must be almost a complete rolling mill to roll the iron into shape. There must be big ma chines to punch rivet holes , immcn&c steam hammers to pound the iron , and great pinners to piano it. To build solid foundations for these heavy ma chines , to arrange shafting and tram ways , overhead , lakes considerable time , skill and experience. That is what is being done at prooont. Four big ahods have been constructed , and in each borne branch of the work that is to re- ult in the big ship will bo done , fn another month work will bo actively begun in every department , and little bv little the parts of the monster war rior will bo completed. In order to see how a big ship is built a reporter paid a visit to the yards. The first thing ho did was to seek out Master Shipwright J. II. Mageo. "Talk about clockwork , why clock work is nothing to building ono of these ships , ' ' said the veteran bhipwright , as ho hurried over to where a gang of men wore finishing two long and narrow tanks. "These are acid tanks , and here is where the first work on the ship begins. " Thctic tanks tire six feet deep , about three feet wide and about ten feet long. They are placed in line with each other. The iron for the ship is received in sheets. It is loaded on small railroad cars and pushed , by men , to the big fehed , at the end of which are the acid tanks. The sheets nro stored in this shed until they are wanted. Whoa this time comes one of the tanks is filled with acid and the other with water. The sheets of iron are loaded on a car again and rolled up to the tanks. By machinery they arc raised from the car and lowered into the aeid. This cleans away nil the dirtt rust and foreign substance upon the iron. The shoots are lifted from the aoid and swung by means of an overhead tram way to the water tank and rinsed olf. Then the iron is bright and clean and and ready for working. In the big shed next , to the storage shed are to bo the rollingniuohlncb , the big planers , steam hammers , etc. Some of the machinery is ready , and the rest Is being placed as rapidly as it arrives. An immense engine will furnish the force to drive all of the machinery in this department. The boilers are al ready in place. The biggest planer In the United State will be among the ma chinery to bo found hero. The preparations that nro being made are not temporary ones. They are permanent , and no doubt if the Maine turns out to bo ns great a ship as it is hoped she will , more of the armored cruisers will be constructed at the Brooklyn yard. But the most interesting part of the preparatory work for the Maine isboing done under the supervision of George MeMullen , the master joiner of the yard. Ills men are constructing the frames for molds. Every piece of iron that goes into the ship must bo "framed. " A trip to the mold loft is ono of great interest. The loft Is a room of great size , and on thu lloor are laid out two big block- sections of boards. K-oh ono is fifty fcven feet wide and thirty-throe feet deep , the exact dimen sions of the Maine. On this block surface - face In white lines , nro marked off all tha friitnos that are to ho constructed. It is a wonderful line piece of work , anil indicates how minute and exact must bo all the calculations that enter into the work. The framus nro made of hnlf- Inch plno HtulT. Men are busy turning them out. and many Imvo already been completed. Eaoh piceo Is numbered on the diagram , and us it is turned into wood the numbers are transferred , as for instance : "I'mino 41 ! Mnino. ' 'L'he3o > designations are marked In plair letters that will not rub off. The keel blocks of the Maine are al ready laid under the big shod , where she will gradually take shape. The blocks indicate the length of the ellip alid show the graceful curve of sloir rtnd fctern. All Of the preparatory work , such as getting In the machinery anil placing it , is under the supervision o ; Master Shipwright Magce , and a busy irmn lie Is , too. While considerable attention la being paid to the Mains , it is by no moans all that is going on in the yard. Work i being done on the Chicago and the iron monitors Terror and Miantonomah The Terror arrived nt the yard a fov days ago. She. and the Mluntonomal will in time bo lilted for boa , but a there is no demand for their service now the work will not bo hurried. \Yhon completed the Maine will b < a 0,000-ton vessel. She will bo supplied with the heaviest guns , such as the twc eight-inch guns ou tile Boston. She will have two turrqls ono tit the bo\v Utid the other nt the stern , not nmidshlps. The ono at tlio bow will bo close to the port side , while in the stern tlio turret will hug tlio slur board sldo of the vessel. The llohtou is now lying1 nt the ynrd. It was n lively scene that mot the ro- porlor'a oycs when ho bonrdud her. The suitors hud just flnishod thuir midday meal. They wore cleaning tiwny the swinging tables iinil washing thodlshos. Everything was busMonnd scorning con- fusion. The rattle of the dishes min gled with the noisy hum of conven > n- tioii and merry laughter. The aroma of the after dinner pipes van distinguishable nbovo everything. Icro six tars were sitting in the shadow .if ono of the big guns , engrossed in iheckors. Four are playing , the rub ier checker boards thread upon the leek , and two are looking on. There were two more silting under the frown- ' 'ng mouth of another gun , playing ini'ds. othor.s were simply laying back enjoying their pipes. Tlio noon hour on board u man of war is an interesting me. The men enjoy it because it is ati lour of relief from stict diHipHno , and jocauw } the hearty food which the gov- jrnmcnt furnishes them braces them up 'or the further work of the day. Xlio Dynamite Cruiser "Vesuvius. " American Magiw.iiio : The "Vesuvius" , vus launched at Cramp's shipyard April J8 , and is intended to demonstrate the practibility of Captain Zaliimki's dyna mite gun afloat in naval warfare. She is a small , nuifclless vessel of 725 tons displacement , long nnd nrrow-lSko , drawing only niuo feet of water , and with powerful screw triple oxpiinsion engines designed to give a speed of twenty knots. Her length is two hun dred and fifty-two foot and breadth twenty-six feet. A small central super structure and a thinly-armored conning tower nro built upon the upper deck , which is live feet above the water lino. The after part of iho ship is devoted to lho quarters for the captain nnd olllcors , the middle compartments to the engines and boilers , and the forward compartments to the crow nnd to the Llireo fifteen-inch dynamite guns , which ire built into the snip at a fixed eleva tion of 18s , projecting above the upper dock near- the bow , and extending down nearly to the Keel. The annlo of elevation has been recently increased from 10 ° to 18 ° , to diminish the chances of ricochet nnd thus insure tlio torpedo action of the shell. The guns u-o sidn by side , and must bo pointed by .ho helm , the steam sticring-genr and Lwln screws contributing quick turning powers. The guns nro smoothbores , lifty-four foot long , made in sections of thin cast-iron. It isas yet thought best not to rillo these guns , as it would cause additional strain upon the gun and projectile , and increase , by friction , the iient and consequent danger. To keep iho shell steady In its flight there is n tail tube with spiral vanes attached , which act muL'h on the principle of the11 feather on an arrow. The shell is made of thin drawn brass tubing , and is fourteen and three-quarter inches in diameter , and about seven feet long , exclusive of the tail tube. The opera tion of loading is very simple. Com pressed air is the firing medium. A storage reservoir near the keel contains air at n pressure of 1,000 pounds n square inch. From the storage reservoir the air is admitted to the firing reservoir near the breech of the gun. A valve admits the air from the firing reservoir to the gun barrel in the rear of the shell , and starts the latter on its jour ney. The man at the firing lover con- Lrols the valve , so that it may bo opened to any ox tent ho may desire , thus regulating the amount of air that is to bo admitted to the gun barrel. The greater the amount admitted the greater will bo the ranco of the projectile. Experiments will readily determine the si'/o of the open ing for any desired range , thus bringing the gun under the complete control of the operator. Was America liver Discovered ? At the time when Columbus started in search of the now world , nearly every man , woman and child in Europe insisted that there was no new world to discover. When they came back , crowned with success , a largo proportion tion of these good people adhered to their theory ; and if they were alive to day many of them would doubtless in sist that America had never boon dis covered nt all. A man will give up anything in the world more readily than n pet theory. For example , look at the individuals who still maintain that consumption is incurable. Dr. Piorco's Golden Medical Discovery has cured thousands upon thousands of cases , and will euro thousands more , but these people can't ' give up the point. Never theless the "Discovery" will euro any case of consumption , if taken in timo. A Patent IilchtnliiK Calculator. Chicago Times : About a year ago , Dorr E. Felt , of Chicago , perfected n little machine that does away with the "lightning calculator" and is destined to greatly simplify the handling and use of figures. The machine has boon named lho "comptometer , " and is ready for the market. It is about the size of an unabridged dictionary , is operated by numbered keys , very much as lypo- wrilorsnro , and seems capable of n largo amount of work. It adds , subtracts , divides and multiplies with equal facil ity , and with a rapidity in pracliced hands almost incredible. The only thing against its popularity , probably will bo the cost , which from the fact that it is of Intricate construction will bo considerable. There have been half a dozen ma chines invented intended to do the sumo Class of work , but noilo of them has been successful , or even reached popular use. The Felt invention , however , differs from them all in that it is operated on tha unit syBlom , and lhat when tlio ad dition of a column of figures has been made it is not necessary to turn the reg istering wheels backward nnd com mence on another , but column nf tor col umn can bo added and the machine will carry the additions to any extent. As an example , suppose it is proposed to add 327 OKI 183 the operator begins with the units nnd successively depresses the keys 7 , 0nnd ! i In the unit column , and the machine registers 10. The next operation Is to commence on the column of tons by striking the 2 , 4 , and 8 keys , nnd the result of the additions is 14. while the register IB 160. The hundred column is next taken , nnd keys ! ! , 0 , nnd 1 are de- presfcod , nnd the machine by its cumula tive Work registers 1-150 , which is the result of the addition. The numbers may bo added by either vertical or her izontal columns with equal case , and lho machine is unerring. It is almost Impossible to convoy n correct idea of the mechnnism of the aovicp , or yet to explain its workings ir detail bo that the ronQorcnn understand it. In fact , it must bo seen , and then oven uttlcb * one's mind runa to mechan ics and figures some explanation will bo nccetsary to a clear conception of its usefulness. As has boon illustrated , it ndds with facility , doing nil of the figure-making Itself , nnd it multiplies divides nnd subtracts just as readily though the processes ar nero Intricate and difficult to explain. 'or those latter operations the use of , ho keys Is varied somewhat , but they nro so marked that there is little trouble vith them , and it is claimed that a few essons Is nil that is necessary to make an export of a person with ordinary In- clllgence. Mr. Felt has started west to exhibit his invention and has already succeeded In gottfng It In several of the departments at Washington , where It is said to bo giving abundant satisfaction , lot only on account of Us accuracy , hut ts grout Bi > ecd and ease of operation. Klectrlo Onrn VH. Cable Trnctlon. Electrical World : It scorns that the struggle for supremacy botwcen electric mil cable traction for street cars , al though practically settled so far as the jlcctrlc side is concerned , is still a sub- cct for the advocates of the cable , who roftibo to recogni'/o defeat. Wo have so often pointed out the advantages of slcctrlclty that it is needless to recall , hem again here , and wo only draw at tention to the matter now In order to noet the remarKs which have boon made : iv an engineer at Kansas City , who , as one of his arguments , puts forth the fact .hat the electric current cannot compote pete with the cable , because the latter can pull cars up grades ns stoeep as 18 per cent1 , a thing , ho says , that the olectrio car cannot do. The criti cism is perfectly correct , and wo are not at all desirous to see any elec trical engineer undertaking to run an electric railway on roads having 18 per cent grades. It Is obvious that in such situations the cable is in the right place , and is probably to bo preferred to any other method davised up to the present time , so far as wo know. But , as experience has demonstrated , grades up to 0 and 10 per cent , which are or dinarily as great as need bo considered , can bo successfully mounted by the electric car , and the economy of tlio system on such roads has long ago boon proved to bo greater than that which can bo obtained from the cable. To argue , therefore , from an extreme and special case is avoiding the main ques tion , and oven if such arguments nro successful for a time , they can only slightly keep back the final acceptance of electricity as the general source of power for street car traction. An Unfailing When two young people of dissimilar sex. with a singleness of purpose and a doubloncss of affection , sit up with each other , and so on , and when the clock strikes a dozen , says : "Is it possible ? " and she says : ' 'Why , I didn't know it was so Into ! " you may draw your con clusions that very soon a united couple will bo buying some furniture. INSTITUTE N. W.

Clothing never was as cheap as it is now , and never did wo mark our goods with such a small profit as wo did this season. The larger the business wo do the cheaper we can afford to sell. We will inaugurate the fall season with a grand Boys' Clothing Sale , and as at the opening of schools , boys' clothing are mostly in demand , wo propose to make the com ing week the most memorable one in our boys department. AVe moan to surprise you with our bargains and that every garment that wo sell shall be a big advertisement for us. Here are only a few of the bargains which wo offer this week : Two-piece Children's Suit , size ! to 1H , at $1,00. . Wo cannot do-scribo this suit , but we ask you to come and bee it. You will be astonished what a suit you can get in our store for $1.00. Other houses would charge $ L\00 for such a suit and pretend to give you a bargain. Two piece Children's Suits , of good cotton mixed Cassimore , heavy weight , nice patterns and well made , at $1.60. But the greatest of all bargains is the Knee Pants Suit wo are offer this season at $2.5O. This is a suit we are proud to show. To call the material "all wool" would not mean much , as we have sold all wool suits at that price before , but wo can truth fully say we never offered SUCH a suit for the money. This suit is conscientiously made with special view to wear. The material is honest all wool cassimoro no shoddy. The pants are made with double thickness of cloth in knee and seat , and every seam is sewed strong. It is a perfect wear resistor. Besides that it is neatly plaited and fin ished. Other houses would charge $5.00 for such a suit. We are equally well prepared to fit larger boys from 12 to IS , and prices are made just the way the Nebraska Clothing Company does business GIVING GREAT EST VALUE FOR LEAST MONEY.
