Mention has already been made of the fact that an electric omnibus tins boon scon threading its way through the irmxo of metropolitan trallle , says the St , .Tamos Gazette , The now vehicle bus room for twelve persons inside. The door is placed at the back in the ordinary way ; but there is no "knife- board , " nor garden-beats upon the roof : neither is there n box-sent , which ugod to bo so popular with suburban riders. Instead , the driver , who need not bo u mechanic , occupies a plutform , which is provided with steering geor , and the a coachman is known as "tho man ut the wheel. " Ho can calculate to a nicety a the course which hd should take , his porch being HUlHciently lofty to glvo him a good look-out. Ills helm con trols lovers which are connected with 'the front wheels , These latter nro un derneath ] the bus and - , they are m-o- tccted by an arrangement correspond ing to the cow-catcher ol the American locomotive. The electric omnibus is the invention of Mr. RadclllTo Ward , who has propelled the machine for up wards 0(100 ( miles in London thorough fares , and lias batlsfied himself that it can bo managed with perfect ease , whether in climbing up Ludgato hill or the Haymarkot , or turning In and out uinought the hucksters' stalls of Leath er-lane. A mechanical brake brings the conveyance to a standstill at oom- maiul. and the spend can be regulated at will. . . THE SONS OF JTONKST LABOR , The ControvorsyiwWhich the Typo graphical tJnfaa Is Engaged. AUSTRALIAN VOTINQ SYSTEM. Introduction Into Ontnliit or the New Organization 1C wns the llrotil orliooil of I led Ijnbor Other Indt rial Notes , Contracts. The Omnha Typographical union will bo the first In this stale lo lost the mer its of the Australian system of voting , and Iho lest will bo a fair ono. There nro about two hundred and seventy-five members of the craft entitled to vote , which is about Un average number of voters allow6d In a precinct under the now stylo. Tho. polls for the election of delegates and ofllcdrs , will bo opened at lU o'clock , noon , the lust Wednesday of the prcBont monthand ) will remain open until 7:80 : In the evening. The single ticket with the names of the candidates , will bo furnished by the committee ; nnd the volet's will murk those they wish lo see elected , Other labor organizations interested in the general introduction ot the system will bo anxious to see how it worus , and a record of the entire pro ceedings will bo carefully kept. Within tlio next ten days a now labor organization will bo introduced to Omuhunnd will bo "known nstho Broth erhood of United Labor. In many things it is similar to the Knights of Labor , nnd yet , as it is intended to overcome the alleged defects of that order , it differs from it essentially. Its ranks will bo open to all who earn their living and wish to become members. If there Is n union or assembly of any given trade , tbo applicant must bo a member fn good standing of that union , but If ho Is employed in a business or trade that has no organization , ho is equally eligible to membership. The miiin object of the order is to unite labor , belli skilled and unskilled , and , at the same time , put a stop to the senseless ordering of strikes. It is in tended that no ono man , no mutter what his ollloial capacity may bo , shall have authority to oVdor or countenance n strike. That is to bo left to the mem bers of the unions themselves , and must bo decided by ' , a vote of those in * torostcd , Members of other unions will not bo allowed to vote on the quos- tioiu of a strike that docs not affect themselves ; but , if a vote decides that the members of any one union shall strike , then the remaining members of tlio brotherhood Will give them their moral and financial support. The brotherhood is ofoceiil origin , but bids fair to become one of the most pow erful lubor organizations in the country. 'y "If some of the crtl er unions would only do us we have done , " said a promi nent member oftho typographical union , "I think they would llnd u way out of their dillicultios. Two years ago we met the bosses and fixed a scale of prices which wus satisfactory to all concerned. Then wo made a contract to abide by it for two yearn , and wo have done it. The result is that wo have not hud u strike during that time , although before that there wsis always boinoBllicu.gqUlng.rtHto trouble every , month erse It hTuj givdii ) the- bosses good men , and it has given the men good wages , and to-day there is not a city in the united States tbul is doing ns well all around by the printers as Omaha. The contract will expire in a short time , but if the bosses wish to have the contract extended I think it is safe to buy there will bo no opposition from the men who have worked under it so long. Now , if the building trades could only make some kind of an agree ment for the season it would bo bettor for them and for us because a printer fools the effect of bud times the same us any ono. Tin : Blij : was right when it i'dvisod the adoption of the plan , und if uny of the other unions want to know how it works they can call on any of our fellows. " The present administration at Wash ington is to bo called upon ut once to fuco ono uhusc of the labor question. fij' has leaked out that a combination of job ' printers , known as the typothotnj , bus memorialized Iho executive , to give out printing contracts lo those sup posedly 1 the best able to perform them , and without recognizing any rights which the typographical union con siders as its own. They uro also said to ask that the membership of the typo graphical union bo ignored in lining vacancies in the government printing olllco , and this is looked upon us a di rect challenge to the International Typographical union , numbering as it does many thousands of printers throughout : the country , and considered one of the most powerful of labor organ- i mitions. : The hitter has , accordingly , taken ! action in the mnttor , and nrivate circulars have been bent to nil labor unions asking them to take BOIUO con certed action to lay the matter in proper light 1 : before the government. It is probable ' that this will bo done by pe titioning , and , ft it Is , and the petition is signed by till the organized wuge- workers in the United States , it will show a btrenifth thut will only have to bo seen to bo appreciated. Omaha Cen tral Labor union , Typographical union and other unions 'have received the circulars , und immediate action will bo taken. In future the Conlrnl Labor union will meet on the second und fourth Fri days in euch month instead of Monday nights as formerly , Jlj ust Friday night the Australian system of voting wus discussed , and , as the action of the judi cial committee seemed to fall of giving satisfaction 'with reference to the sys tem for NobraHkti , itUvns determined to send Air. Abernothydown to Lincoln , once more. * "I'll toll yon whjj wo don't ' like the contract system , " 8nl | ( a bricklayer yes terday , "and that ib-bocavmo the bosses take advantage ofyy , Wo wanted to have itand abide ] ) t U , , and in January , 1888 , wo lold them our terms.

A MODERN ADAM AND EVE. "Tho rummis in Ilnytl reminds mo that n year ago I wns a witness In Port- uu-Frlnco to the biggest racket that over shook the social fabric ot the 'Black republic , ' " said General Theo dore P.

" "Leyton , " began the general , ' 'wns a younyer son In a good English family of moderate circumstances.und although ho wns roared reflnedly and given a good education he had very little to atari with. When I mot him ho was an agent of her majesty's mail service , ruhntne from South Hampton to Aspin- wull. After a week's enjoyable run along the Spanish Main I got off at Trinidadleaving him homeward bound. I looked upon him us a pleasant ac quaintance , briefly onjovod and to bo seen no more. The happiness of meet ing him again was scarcely more than tlio interest his report of himself aroused. Tlio young man bud acquitted himself like a knight but hero's his story , Shortly { after purling with mo he wns transferred to the packet line plying between Sydney and Melbourne. He was detailed aboard a boat called the Commodore , llo had made a trip or two and started for what turned out to be his last run in tbo blistering heat , of Christmas-iduy. You are doubtless afraro in" those latitudes the seasons uro jrevorised. II wad a two-days' run. On the first night out , in the lute watches , a typhoon or some other kind of a terri ble wind struck the ship. The storm came up with the suddenness and destructive energy of a cyclone or a tornado in this country. The boat wont on a rock and was re duced to fragments as swiftly and completely as though chopped to pieces by huge axes. Tbo people were ull abed ; no one hud time to dress and few even the opportunity to effect an escape. The wreck was exploited as a grout disaster und is well known in Aus tralia. As it was Buch a hot night Loy ton lay in his cabin with every stitch of his clothing removed. At the llrst crash he rose , seized n cork suit , and rushed on deck , feeling the vessel purl ing , lie caught a glimpse of indescrib able confusion aboard ship but could see no one. lie was knocked Hat by the force of the shock und a moment Inter wus overboard. The water was Inshcd to a white fury and boiled like in a kettle. Waves bad not had time lo rise and Iho blast just skimmett the water like a terrible - riblo bcyllic. He was unable to tuko cognizance of anything but felt himself drawn rapidly along by a strong tow. He bad not heard a shout nor scon a fellow voyager from the moment ho loft his "bunk , lie kept his head dispito the wild experience , and before daylight his feet touched bottom. He helped himself along slowly , mounting a sandy slope , until as the sun rose bo dis covered that it was low tide and ho was on a long bench projecting from the mainland. He wan little the worse for wear"but the gratitude ho felt for his comparatively happy situation and the ulmbbt certain prospect of rescue overcame him and he knulton the sand nnd I have his word for it prayed. Ho waited whore ho was until it got full light and tpok observations. llo saw that his own course wus necobsarlly along the sandy cape to the timbered bhoru a mile away , H turned to scan the water. Along the shallow bar there was the merest surf , and beyond the water shona like n gluss. The furious tempest hud come and gone in a breath and left no agitation on the sea. There was Borne wreckage not far away , and the whole of the main truck wns stuck aground noiir ut hand. The closobt snrutiny could reveal'no life about it , but us ho shifted hisoyo ho discerned nt Homo distance beyond the mast the body of a man in the shimmerIng - Ing water. Ho shouted but elicited neither movement nor reply. The body stood upright , and he could Heo by the gleaming bhoulden * thut the unfortunate wus no more amply clad than himself , There was nothing to do but lend u hand to tliis fellow-sufferer , who was either gone , or golig ) , so ho waded forth. Ho found the floater uphold by a ring buoy , aground but helpless , and the object of lliQ lutor/ietod / contemplation of n con siderable school of basking sharks , Ho hei/.c-d the buoy , swam to a good footing , und then crumbled out of the water , drugging the stranger by the head und arms with a haste und violence that left the buoy behind , It was a necessary part of the play to bo prompt , as the big Unties , determined ut lust upon the character of the bait and Booing it es cape , rushed for it in concert. They got tno buoy , nnd uftcr u fight for it in the shonls. made off to deep water with the fragments. Loyton had dragged Himself and his now-found frioniTas high ns ho might on the sand , and after the intimidating pursuit of the sharks had passed turned his attention to the limp und inanimate but warm and evidently living body by which ho crouched. It was with an amazement readily cred ible that he made the discovery thai he hud saved .not a man but a wo man a young womiin , lee , who had only , a gold necklace and a pair of jew eled earrings for a r'ohnont. Above all she was. beautiful , and after n brief glnnco nt her face he recalled her ni the member of an a.ristoorutio parly ot Melbourne folks wh'tooro traveling ns special guests ot the vessel. Under such circumstances any man's chivalry nnd dovdtlon will be sunuilnled , and bo determined lo save her with kid glove nicety. Ho took olT IMs cork suit , spread it upon her , nnd endeavored to restore the woman , who was merely In n swoon , and broithod regularly. r'alUng of Immediate success ho started shoreward along the capo and ran n half a mile without seemingly reducing the desert interval and without discerning any signs of life or hiibltaUon. Al Ibis singe of his career ho mnilo a discovery that sent him back to his charge with nil speed. Ills excursion had boon almost to his fair castaway. The lido was com * Ing in , Iho water having already sub merged her body and Honied oil the cork suit , wns lapping her lips. There wns no recourse but in speedy flight. He made several desperate but unavailing efforts to rally her Intelli gence , nnd shouldering her llko u SUCK , ho sol forth along the rapidly vanishing spit of sand. It was longer than he surmised and Iho line rose swiftly. Ills load oppressed him heav- Hy , and toward the last ho oflon ran waist deep through channels where Iho mounting sea cut in. At last ho reached the true beach , nnd gutning a point ot certain safety dropped with ills burden to tbo ground. He was In nn agony of heat nnd exhaustion , nnd yielding to the pangs of overtaxed o.\- urtlon no lay prone , and burying his face In his hands , sobbed nnd gasped until llio paroxysm parsed away , llo turned then to find thu companion of his misery half raised upon one bund and lifting the hair from her eyes ns nho contemplated him In extreme won derment , llow like a stranded ncroid in a Bougucroaul "But Loyton had no eye nor SOIIKO for the picture. Ho waa moved nlono by a blind , unrcckonlng purpose to complete tholr joint salvation and end the situation. The fair woman lying there was no more to him than If she bad been one of the Swedish seamen that sank with the wreck. The sun had an altitude of vantage and was pouring a tropical Hood upon them as dangerous almost as the tide ot the sea. " 'What is this'sho question with u vague etnrc. She had but that moment regained her senses. 1 'Como , woman. Wo mustgot to the bluffs. If you can holpyourself so much the better , ho answered , and sprang to his feet. "She turned from him with a shriek , holding her eyes in her arm and gesti culating to him wildly to bo gone. It was as Virginia with the naked sailor , a modesty that by a last resort would cloak itself in death. " 'Leave mol Leave mo ! ' she cried. 'I will go back to tbo sea and drown. ' 'Ho unceremoniously dragged her to her feet , and seizing her by the arms pushed her ahead of him by main forco. She struggled and wept as they pro ceeded in this toilsome manner. A half mile of Sun-baked , white , sandy shingle lay between them and a line of low bluffs that was green with vegetation. Loyton from time to time besought the .young woman to yield to their imperative needs and march with out reducing him to such labor. She replied each time by imploring him to kill hor. At lust the blistering stretch of sand was crossed , und Loyton madu the short but steep ascent of the bluff , dragging his refractory comrade like a dog by the colar. A &oft breeze stirred on this eminence and there were palms and acacias that made a grateful shade upoii a grassy , lawnlikesward. . Into this shelter Loyion staggered upon the lust stage of his journey. Before moving lo other incumbent slops ho mounted bis companion with leaves and bushes , and devising a rude , Adamio sort of a vesture for himself , procured solno succulent fruits and sot about al laying her hysteria. She proved in brief season' with refreshments und good counsel to bo a young woman of mind and she loft off her distressful be havior and wus rational. After an hour of rest and reinvigoration Loyton left his charge in her primitive bower , thor oughly restored to calm judgment , and went forth to reconnoitor. lie had to walk six miles to encounter signs of man and at lust came upon a miserable settlement of lumbermen who cheerfully gave him garments for both himself aim his com panion and provided u mule cart by which the ludy was brought in. On the following day one of numerous rescuing parties out from Melbourne scouring the coast found them. No tin ore than a half- dozen lives were saved from the lost steamer. On reaching Melbourne Ley- ton became a lion. He was equipped with a regal apparel and given i hospital lodgment in the mansion of his fellow- survivor's father. He hud rescued not only an heiress but a sweet and win some young woman , the amiable queen of ono of Melbourne's best coteries. Lcyton is a handsome , woll-brcd follow , and Ills into his place like a glove. "Now , I wish I could suy that the old gentleman came around und suid : "Ley- ton , you're a fine und gallant gonlle- mun. a worlhy son of mine. Here's my daughter's hand and the half of mv for tune , take them. ' Sadly enough things are not done in that way in this world. The futbor had no more notion of marrying his daughter to Loyton thun ho would have hud If a nobly trained dog had done the same ser vice. Ho gave that young man JC6JOO ( , which a number of ttio gentlemen friends of the young ludy duplicated. However , there nro more maltor-of-faot ways for arranging happy conclusions lo true stories and some not less roman tic than fiction. The young lady failed to recoup her spirits as nor friends hoped , and ono day after a few weeks , when Loyton wus about to end his term of luxurious leisure by a return to England , she said to him in Iho sad and simple way thut hud lately become her wont : " 'God made us to be cternully to gether or forever apart. ' The eagerness with which Loyton seized bain the opportunity and her hand showed that he was forestalled in the avowal. " 'Oh , say togolbcr , ' ho cried , 'but assure mo first that your sentiment Is of love , and not of gratlludo or the spur of modest duty ? ' ' "Come to mo thfa day six months. Wo will pass the interval with hearts on trial. ' Ho wont to England but was back in Melbourne on appointment. Both the trials were ended and the joint verdict was enthusiastically favorable. They are ut the Grand Pacific now no , not now ; for their west bound train is just pulling out ut Iliis hour. " There was a utirrlng party and a long sigh ot interest and admiration.

How different from tha bcenes of to-day ! Council BlutTs IB not lacking in thcso "monuments of the past. " Most ot thorn live only In thu memories of ujow persons. Some stand lo-dny Iho plllais of n historic lime. The first store build- cd on the Bluffs was a rude Htrnuluro made ot logs and located on Broadway where J. M. Scntilon'a meat market now stands. It was occupied by ,1. E. .lohnson with a stock of drugs and no tions. It was the only store in KUIIOH- ville. C. D. Voorhis soon followed with a building opposite the Mqthodist church , .lust cast of this spot I ) . Amy put up a shanty and laid in a stock of stoves. The first sloro which 1ms resisted Iho ravages of the years and stands to-day nnd is now oc cupied by llobort Mullis. It was built bv , r. B. Slulesmnii In 18.50. He occu pied it with a stock ot drv goods. Not- wilhslanding , the building has boon painted again and again the old Rign can bo still discerned. HabbetUt Rob inson complolod another sloro building next door to Stutcsman's the same year. Tootle & Jackson followed uoxt totlioin. This store is now occupied by 12. B. Gardiner. A man by the name of Gooch opened the first commission house across from the Methodist church site , whllo a part of that lot was occu pied by a "general1' store run by Eu- banit & Honslmll. In those days there were no buildings below Park iivnnuo. Of those pioneers , two only are living , viz. : J. B. Statesman , nt Hnrlun , In. , and W. II. Robiiibon , of this city. The llrst gentile ninrnngo occurred in 185U. There wora no preachers and a justice of the peace ollluiutcd , Iho con tracting putties \\cro James Jackson atiR Henrietta Cool ; . The second mar riage was solemnized by Rev. G. G. Rice and occurred in a little log church fai United nt the corner of Park avcnuo and Broadway. This couple were Mr. W. II. Robinson and Miss Mary Ann Lafforty. Tbo third marriage occurred in 1855 and was celebrated soon after the open ing of the Pacific house , in which it took place ; "tho old Pacific house , " wo call it now , but then it was the pride of the west. A. J. Popploton of Omaha and Miss Carrie Sears , daughter of the proprietor of the hotel , were then united. The oldest member of the band of Latter Day Saints , residing" in Council Bluffs , is William Garner , after whom Garner township is iiuraodi Judge Sloan was the first dispenser of justice in western Iowa , and many stories are told of his decisions in the cases brought before him in the early border days. Upon the present Methodist church situ stood an humble cottage whose in habitants were a free negro and his family. Ho evidently experienced the same difficulties in gaining a livelihood which are experienced by the colored laborer of to-day. Nailed to the outer wall was a sign which "bore thia strange device : " "Coin out Doin Days Works Taken in hear. " Thib peculiarity in signs did not fatop with the above , for to-day there a/o many which are fully as btriicing to the public oyo. Upon a certain house whose occupants give hard and honest toil for their daily bread is a curd which gives this information mation : "Dress Making and Filing done hero. " Another announces to a hungry nubile : "Boordora Wanted near. " It is hardly presumable that the sign indicates the character of the caters wanted , "boors , " nor that no deaf mutes are wanted. Another hash factory says it wants "Boarders by the Day or Weak , " and yet it is safe to Bay the hash would bo weak enough if the boarder wasn't. A young and rising confectioner , whoso spelling is hardly on a par with his goods , announces "Homo Maid Candy7 but whether the "Maid" goes us u chroma with every package bold is not stated. A ludy living not fur from Broadway announces borself us a "Cleorvolnt. " The sign is a hoino-nmdo institution , ai well as her insights into futurity. Two Indies , a married lady ntid n widow , called recently und hud their fortunes told , According to the revolutions made the married lady will shortly moot tha man she is to marry and will bncomo the mother of a largo family ; while the widow und her husband "do not got on well together. " Perhaps not , but if they do not she doesn't know it. A certain grocer announces that ha has "Flower & Feed" for sale , but the only Dowers ho sells are cabbages and celery. A prominent barber shop tells- Us patrons lo pay cash for their work by saying "Money for checks and checks for money. No markers put up , " It ia Bufo to Buy the trade is not lessoned but the "hoys" catch on just the eaine. N. I. Tibbotls , ono of the hustling grocers of tie ) city , displays Iho great est variety of signs. Upon the east side of the building "Troxoll Bros. " stands out In bold rcllos. On the awning J. W. Kleoh holds full bway , whllo inside the Btoro these faces are no lojigorscon. The longest sign In Iho city Is that ol Henry Eibumon & Co. This covers the width of the entire Ihroo-sloro front. The most thoroughly "signed" buildlncr Is that of Peter C. Miller. Thus , nt rvery turn , whether dolvlnff into the half-forgotten past , or looking at the things with which our t ally Ufa has made us familiar , there uro wonder ful sources of profit and amusement.
