TIIK American moat company , of New York , whoso scheme was tib organize a great beef trust , has evidently bcon gored by ono of Its own bulls. THE Oklahoma boomer is advised to lay in a stock of quinine and whisky. The land beyond the doop-rolling Cimarron - V arron is alive with fever and ague. K THE now British minister , Sir Julian Pauncofoto , has sailed for Amo 'cu. It is safe to predict that ho will not vent ure to put his foot into politics in the manner of Lord Sackvillo-Wcst.

SENATOK WASHHURN is lobbying in the Minnesota legislature for the passngo of a bill prohibiting the impor tation of dressed moats from ether states. Washburn imagines ho Is a bigger man than the United States supreme premo court. THE cat has jumped out of that hoard of trade meal bin at last. The con certed raid on the board is inspired by the fact that moro than two-thirds of Its members have expressed a preference - once for locating the postofllco on the square between Purnam and Douglas. , OMAHA'S section of the Oklahoma boomers Is split wide open , with the promised land three hundred miles away. The best thing for the boomers to do is to disband and return to their homos. By doing eo they will avoid countless hardships and save consider able tlmo and money. AHOUT BO von miles 01 street pave ment will bo laid in Omaha this year. The amount is considerably loss than last year's record , but the work will connect the main paved thoroughfares north nnd south and west , and result in * greater benefits to the residents of side Btrcots. THE slump in wheat has bcon the feature of the speculative mnrlcot over since the reports were confirmed that the wheat crop of Minnesota and Da kota was underestimated. The present year will consequently ( bo known in history as ono of the most remarkable ever witnessed In wheat speculation. THK suicide of the 'mayor-elect of Colorado Springs , following so closely upon the suicide of mayor of Iowa City , affords a roranrkt'.blo coincident sugges tive ol the well known fact that rail road accidents , fires , murders and sui cides frequently occur simultaneously In the moat rouioto places. It's In the nlr , so to speak. MAIUTIMK circles of the Atlantic soa- Tioard are considerably agitated ever the fact that Britishers are buying Am erican vessels and are employing them in the American coastwise trade , This is undoubtedly n broach of the United States shipping laws. But as these vessels still fly the American flag by vlrtua of a nominal ownership hero , It Is dinicult for custom house otllcora to in- tar/oro. / Relief , however , is promised o thla unjust competition. A riUOKOUS OA3IPAIQX. The olooing days ot the prohibitory amendment campaign in Massachusetts nro being marked by somWory earnest nnd vigorous work on iflk sides. The pronohorn nro taking iMBotnlnont part in the fight , nnd the Bnt of Intellect , it not of motnbori lHn opposition to the amendment. S p eminent pulpit lights as Rov. PjMnips Brooks , Rov. Philip S. Moxom , iKJv. Cyrus A. Bartol , and u dozen others of no loss ability , are arrayed against the proposi tion lo put a prohibitory amend ment in thu state constitution , and advocate highlicense as the only prac ticable pollV for dealing with the liquor trnHtt' All these ministers are as hcartiwopposod lo the saloon as the most ardwt advocalcs ot prohibition , but they ijjU'o the wisdom to see the prnctlcjjjttldo ot the question nnd the conr < yplo stand upon the facts. They knoW iat prohibition never has prevented - vented the ealo ot liquor , and its failure when tried under the most favorable conditions , as it has boon once in Massachusetts , warrants thorn In believing that it must inevitably fall if tried again. They know equally well , on the ether hand , that high license as a moans ot regulating the sale of liquor has every where proved successful , and the cause of tcmpornnco has bcon aided by that policy. As between nn onon traillc judiciously regulated and made to pay a revenue , and tlio secret sale of liquor in violation ot law , with nil the evils in cident to such a condition , such intel ligent nnd sincere mon as Drs. Brooks and Moxom have no difficulty in seeing their way clear to the advocacy of the former , nnd they are doing it with great force and zonl. The ether side is working equally hard. mt some of the extremists are giving olTonso and injuring their cause by extravagance of speech. Ono of the most prominent ot thorn recently as sorted that the liquor dealers would spend a million dollars In the campaign , largely In buying up the nowspanors. The Boston Globe replies to this by say ing that inasmuch as the leading news papers of the state are unani mous in opposition to the proposed amendment a great deal more than a million dollars would bo required If that opposition had to bo secured in that way. That journal further says it docs not belicvo the liq uor interest will spend one-twentieth of the sum named. The indications nro that the amend ment will bo overwhelmingly defeated. There Is an imposing opposition to it by representative men ot brains and char acter in all the various walks ot lifo , and they have on their side both com mon sense and experience. SOLOMON is said to have declared that ' 'thcro is nothing new under the sun. " The pulpit crusade against the Sunday paper has become a back- number , although some people in these parts imagine it to bo strictly original. The Sunday paper has become as much a necessity with Americans as a warm Sunday dinner , although hero and there some man may bo willing to con tent himself with a cold lunch in order to give the cook a day of unbroken rest. Preachers may como and preachers may go , but the Sunday paper will go on and grow moro voluminous from year to year. It is an open secret , of which oven mon of the cloth who are not familiar with the mode of making a great daily paper , cannot bo ignorant that the greater part of the Sunday paper is a product of Saturday's labor , and parts of the Sunday paper are written days before they are sot in typo. The only part of the Sunday paper produced after Saturday mid night is the telegraphic and belated local news , coupled with the final makeup - up and press work. The Monday paper , not the Sunday edition , is really gotten up on the Sabbath day , and the crusa ders against Sunday papers should , if they desire to compel strict Sunday ob servance , direct their brimstone and saltpeter against the publication and circulation of the Monday morning papor. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A NUMBER of employes of the Balti more & Ohio railroad have refused to sign papers giving that road the right to reserve a cer tain porcontngo of their earnings for the maintenance of an employes' insurance company. It is claimed that the scheme is too one-sided to bo of any practical benefit to the mon in service. Whatever merits such an insurance company may have it is undoubtedly unpopular with the Baltimore & Ohio employes. For some years the insur ance experiment has boon tried by that and other roads , but it has not been supported in a manner to justify its continuance. The truth is that cO-opor- atlvo insurance schemes of this sort are apt to bo looked upon with distrust , and employes fool that it is an infringement of their personal rights nnd independ ence to bo comnollod to con tribute to their support. For that reason such compulsory schemes usually breed dis content and seldom prove successful. IK the figures presented by the Hail- way Age , of Chicago , are trustworthy , the present year promises to bo ono of the greatest for railroad building in the history of the country. That jour nal gives a tabulated statement ot the now lines which have been brought to public notice during the last three months , which show that these include six hundred and sixty-six roads of fifty-throe thousand , four hundred and thirty-six miles. Of this vast amount , nearly fifteen thousand miles are under construction or have been contracted for. There are moro roadu projected in the south than in anyothor section , and there is marked activity in Dakota and in the Indian territory. It is noted that the now ro'ada are mainly building in parts ot the country \vhero they are really needed , and that there is little paralleling under way. SEOnETAUY JKUK RUSK , of the de partment ot agriculture , will do the country a great service if ho institutes an inquiry into the number and value ot cattle In the various states and ter ritories whore the anluialsaro ) raised or fed , The department reports that no record has beo-i kept loading to show whether boot packers hnvo ddprcssod the price of boot on the hoof nnd have raised the price ot the product to the consumer , For the lack ot definite in formation It would appear , therefore , that the charges made by local butchers nnd brooders can not bo substantiated , nnd rash statements are made to jiro- judlco tbo beef packing industries In the eyes of the public. In the light of these tacts , it scorns strange that state legislatures should have passed local in spection bills to keep out dressed boot without first thoroughly investigating tup subject. OKLAHOMA has boon painted alto gether in too glowing colors. The farmer of this or any other state who throws up his possessions for n , pcoplnto the promised land will find his journey a fool's errand. Not only is Oklahoma insufficient to furnish any considerable number of homesteads , but Its soil is not so well adapted for farming as Iowa , Kansas or Nebraska , fit only to raise hay or cotton. Thcro will bo innumer able hardships and disappointments to contend with for the pioneer who goes along with the first rush. It is the wise man who will stay at homo and lot the army of adventurers and fortune hunt ers blaze the way. THE annual report of Superintendent James , of the city schools , verifies the increase in population shown by the re cent school census. The attendance at the opc.'iing of the ppring term of the schools is thirteen hundred more than a year ago , an increase of sixteen per cent. These facts demonstrate the steady growth of Omaha and place the , population at one hundred and twonty- ilvo thousand. MAJOR BALCOMIIH points out n loop hole in the paving ordinance which permits contractors to bid on their own specifications. That provision should bo promptly repealed. It was mani festly designed to prevent fair competi tion , which becomes impossible fao long as every bidder for paving can muko his own specifications. WASHINGTON THIUUTOUYIS enjoying a decided impetus in railroad building , due to the discovery of oxtonslvo coal and iron beds in the last two years. If the ( low of capital and development of natural resources continue in that sec tion of the country for another year Washington will begin statehood in a very prosperous condition. KANSAS CITY is steadily extending its railroad interests into southern Ne braska nnd gobbling the trade of that section , while Ojnaha looks on indiffer ently and permits a rival to gather the commercial plums from under her nose. Where is the Omaha. Dodge City & Southern ? Where is the Rock Island extension ? Echo answers , where ! AVIiy I'coplo Marry. SliMman ( G < i. ) Ileralil.

James Anthony Froudo has written a novel entitled "Tho Two Chiefs of Dunboy ; or , An Irish Romance of the Last Century. " Ono critic says'of it that it is "history clothed In n thin veil of fiction.

Senator Spoonor , of Wisconsin , is tbo smallest man of stature of the members of the United States sonnto , but ono of the brainiest mon in that body. When ho first went to Washington ho was subjected to no end of rldlculo about nls size , which touched his sensitive nature not a little.

MEDICINE FOR THE DOCTORS A Olmrnotorlstlo Sermon by the Rov. Ohnrloa W. Snvldgo. BESET BY MANY TEMPTATIONS. Tlio Various I'itfnlUVliloli Lilo In the I'ntli of the Physician nncl How Dest to Avoid Thorn , Pliyslclnn. Hcnl Thyself , ISLAND , Nob. , April II. [ Snocinl to Tun UKK.I Hov. ClmrlosV , BavulRO preached to n largo congregation In the Methodist Episcopal church hero to-night. His subject was the physician. Ho tooK for his text Luko4:23 Physician , heal thyself. In substance he said : I address this sermon to the physicians. In the blbla God spoaics to you by name twelve times. Looking Into this old oook I bcllovo In medicines ns well ns prayers for the sick. King Hczcldah wiw about to die. God himself - self hod Bnltt : "Sot thuio house In order , for thou shall die. " The king prnycd for Hfo. Ills physician took n lump of figs nnd laid It on the boil and ho recovered. I bullovo In the faith prayer , but I bellovo In the pills , too. JJut Icnvo God out of the sick room and ytm have bad results. So this book tolls us. Look at this , tnkon from the blblo : "Asa , In the thlrty-nnd-tblrd year of his reign , \viis diseased in his feet until his disease was exceeding grout ; yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord , but to the physicians. And Asa slept with his fathers. " Just what ho might have expected. Let God bo loft out and the undertakers got n Job. Ono whole book of the now testament was written by n physician. Dr. Luke tolls us how shamefully that ix > or fellow was treated , who fell among thioves. And ho drnws a uever-to-bo-forgottcn picture of tlio woundf of Christ. The body und tlio soul are Siamese twins. The ono has n mighty Influence over the other. Wo ought nil to believe in the gospel of good health. 1 remark that the healing art Is ono of the oldest nnd most honorable. Nineteen hun dred years before Christ , Joseph told the physicians to embalm his father. Hippo- cr.Ues , the most celebrated physician of anti quity , was born about -100 U. C. In the third century before Christ , Hcrophilus distln culshccl hlmsalf by the study of anatomy. Tlio physicians of remote antiquity were deemed super-human , nnd in our time no man is moro truly respected than the skillful , con scientious doctor. Some of the llnest monuments ments wo have In our laud have been erected to the memory of those men who died bat tling With disease. You need preaching , because as n class you nro subject to great temptations. If you nsit mo what two men are most severely tried and tempted every ituv , I would answer , "i'lio physician nnd tlio minister. " There are five great tempta tions which moot the doctor at every turn of the road. You are greatly tempted to drink. From over-work and loss of sloop you are worn out. You como in from n long ride in the country on a stormy day urgent callers await you at your olllco on your ruturn. You take a glass of wino ; you feel refreshed. The habit fastens upon you and you are a slave. Ono of the ablest physicians in the state of Ohio died a drunkard. There grad uated in Chicago in IbSl a talented young physician who is now in this state , a wreck Irom drink. The cursed drink claims yet as its victims many of the brightest and best of our physicians. You are tempted to lie. Old Job said to tnroo men who pretended to practice in hli days "You three doctors are forgers of lies. " Old Job would tell a doctor what ho thought of him. You tell lies to get and to hold cases. You often tell the patient he is worsp than hn is. You give disease a strong coloring for the salto of a reputation. A simple throat trouble has moro than once been called diphtheria. I don't believe a ho over permanently helped anybody. You have told lies to the wife to shield the bus- biind and to the husband to shield the wifo. God has got every Ho marked down against you , and it you don't stop lying and repeat , you will go to hell with the rest of the liars. The doctor is tempted to lead an Impure life , and many fall. Some are not only bad themselves , but they tell young men tnat if they would observe the laws of health , tliey must not be over-virtuous. It is a wonder the lightning doesn't strilco such doctors. The physician wtio lives an impure life is bad enough. But lie who will , by his evil ad- vica , make young men his partners in siu , is surely a candidate for the hottest corner in hell If you Insist on it , I can give you ex amples of physicians of sicill in their profes sion who live badly in social ways and teach young men that a chaste and virtuous Ufa is not the most healthful. God help such men I You are tempted to commit murder. A great pressure in brought on the doctor to take the lifo of the unborn child. Ono of the greatest inducements to abortion is in the statement usually found in medical works that lifo does not exist until about the fourth month. It does exist from the moment of impregnation for it grows. It could not grow without life. There Is noth ing dead In nature. The husband ami wife cimo und beseech the doctor to commit this awful crime. The wife says ' 'Doctor , you must hoip me , wo are to poor to raise any more children and I cannot live to boar another. I will take my own life if you do not hell ) me. " The fact is they do not want the trouble of children ns these little ones interfere with the mother's going Into society. Money und sympathy nro the means by which the physi cian is usually caught. Ono of the most eminent physicians in Pennsylvania was offered f 1.000 to perform an abortion on n young girl , but as ho de clined , the nun said"Just name your price. " The physician said , "there is not money enough in tills city to hlro mo to commit that crime. " Oh , this sin of infanticide. Perhaps only ono case in Hfty comes to the notice of the doctor. It is practiced in the homes , In the family circle. Many a professedly Christian wife has become skillful in destroying the lifo o * her unborn children. They are as surely murderers as the woman who has re cently bcmi on trial in the metropolis of our state. You are tempted to lead an Irreligious life. There are twelve physicians in this city nnd only ono active Christian tlintlknow of. 1 never heard but ono doctor pray. Tno surroundings of the medical student In college - logo nro not helpful to his faith. Some of the teachers swear before the classes. Then the hurrying physician llnds It dlfll- cult to attend church. The very natureof hla work Is apt to lead him into material ism. ism.If I were nblo I would draw the likeness of the ideal physician. Ho comes from good stock and is a manly fellow. "You can't inuko a sllU purse out of u sow's ear , " Ho understands his business. Ho Imtos quack- ory. Ho U trustworthy , Into his car Is poured the family secrets and troubles , und they are locked in an iron chest. Ho is clean and pure in his person nnd life. The habits of drinking and gambling never fasten themselves upon him. Nor does no debauch himself witn concubines and har lots. Ho knows ttmt virtue nlonu will nmko him happy and enable him to withstand his critics. Ono physician very fittingly soys ; t'VVhnt right have I to approach the bodsldo of a dclicato and , perhaps , hypersensitive patient with my breath or clothing reeking with liquor or tobacco ! " God's ' words to the priests may bo spoken to you : "Ho ye clean that boar the vessels of the Lord. " Ho Is a pleasant , cheerful man. Like that little child , ho has swallowed a spoonful of sun shine. I bavo read of five men , who resolved that they would make an experiment and sea what they could do In the way of depressing a healthy man. They resolved to moot him at different points on his Journey. As ho stopped out from his homo in tbo morning In robust health , ono of the five men met him and said : "Why , you look very sick to-day. What Is the matter ) " Ho said : "I am in excellent health there Is nothing the matter with mo. " Hut passing down the street ho began to oxammo his symptoms , and the second of the flvo men mot him. "Why. how bud you look. " "Well , " ho replied , " I don't feel very well. " After a while the third man mot him , and the fourth and the fifth came up und said : "Why you look us though you had had the typhoid fever for six wcous. What is the matter with you 1" And the man against whom the utratcgom had been piled went homo and died. I want tny physician to bo a chrfottnn. A croat man In this country hn lately Bald , "A doctor who hrn gone through the modlc.it college - logo nnd the dissecting rooms has traversed the wonders of the human mechanism and found no God In any of the labyrinths. Is n fool , nnd cannot doctor mo or mine. " Cuvlor , the grant scientist , whllo describing tbo articulations of the thumb , paused before his class nnd remarked that ho had been skeptical , but In the wlsaom of the movements of the thumb there must bo a God. God.David , the king , must have boon studying the anatomy of his own body when ho said , "I will praise Theo , for I am fearfully nnd wonderfully made. " There are nearlv ono hundred thousand physicians in the United States. I would to God they were all chrlstlan.s. Your lives are moro brief than other pro fessional men , nnd you are exposed to deadly disease. Don't put off the preparations for ctornlty. I hnvo attended phvslclans when death Bccincd Imminent nnd they were anxious about the soul's ' welfare. In the stnto of Illinois an old doctor was dying worth nearly a million of money. Ho said : "I hnvo made ono great mistake. My whole Hfo has been given up to money-mak ing. " Ho n Christian. Sydcnhnin , nnd Cooper and Harvey , nnd Hush , could pray as well as prescribe. May you all reach that happy country where the inhabitants never say , "I am sick. " Uov. 1) . AV. Rcrr's Idea of Snhtmth Rest. Hev. D. W. Kcrr , of the Southwest Pres byterian church , preached n sermon yester day morning from the text : "Tho Sabbath was inndo for Man. " Sabbath , ho said , moans rest , nnd when the Sabbath was created a rest day was made for man to meet the requirements of his na ture. No man can forever stand the strain of working every day in the year. Ho must have rest. Yet at least ouo In ovoryjolght men must do so. It has been found that 'Ji')0,000 men In the United States are com pelled to labor every day in the year. Of these 127,000 nro in the employ of the gov ernment , 500,000 nro employed on the rail roads and newspapers , nnd another 600,000 are at work in tlio saloons. Nine hundred thousand labor in commercial houses , shops nnd mines. This unceasing toil tends to reduce men to n level with brutes.It makes thorn rebellious and breeds anarchy. It makes them resentful nnd ma licious nnd crushes out homo Influences. It reduces their strength until they cau no longer resist the temptation to do evil. Those who labor this way are grievously wronged. What is the remedy I In the first place It must bo understood what is good for the capitalist Is good also for the laborer. The laboring man is the foundation of nil prosperity and must bo protected. The church is nblo and should give him Urn pro tection. It is the church's province to do this nnd if she fails to do so she is derelict in her duty. These two and a quarter mil lions of people must have rest and the church Joins them In demanding It. At least ono day In seven is required by all men for rec reation. Nnturo demands It and God com mands it. The argument from inference is conclusive. How shall this day of rest bo sccurodl In the first place the workmen must bo- licvc that they absolutely nocd It ; must live und talk as though they need it nud then the law power must bo called upon. Of the two nnd n quarter millions who work Sunday , 137,000 toll for the government. The work is unnecessary and the government could und should give these men a day of rest. People should not patronize Sunday papers or ride on Suuday trains. They nro con ducted only for the satisfaction of n greed for money. In order that people may have them men must work , If everyone would refuse to buy thorn the men could rest. All the people should Join in ask ing tbo national congress to pass the Sunday rest day bill now ponding. This can be done entirely independent of any religious doc trine , nnd after it Is obtained men can obtain the rest in the manner they judeo best , and not of necessity in religious worship. If my neighbor wishes to rest at home , I should not intrude my church on him. Hut from Sinai , at the same time , shall bo heard the voice of the Lord saying. "Komomber tuo Sabbath day to keep It holy. " The Closed Door. The Rev. Dr. Williamson , of the Central United Presbyterian church , took for his subject last evening , "Tho Closed Door. " His text was Matthew 25,1-13. the parable of the five wise nnd live foolish virgins , the closing words being "and the door was shut. " Ho said in brief : "Tho ten virgins represent the church. Tbo wise are those who are rightfully there , the foolish are these who have un object in being in the church , but ore either careless or hypocritical and have no right there. The oil is the grace of God. The lamps are the church. 'The wise have faith in God nnd rccoivo his grace in their neart. The foolish do not. The meeting of the bridegroom is the meeting of tbo Lord Jesus Christ. At the resurrection these on the earth shall remain and these that are dead shall como forth to meet our God. Tbo trimming of the lamps doubtless means the awakening into lifo of our slumbering energies. What Is meant by tno shutting of the doorf First , that these within nro with the bridegroom and arc his friends enjoying his companionship. Second , that they are enjoying the nuptial ceremonies. When Christ brings home his bride , the church , It is ours to congratulate nnd praise him. The door that is shut keeps in the friends and shuts out the enemies. The happiest moments of our lives are when wo associated with these wo love. These who came tardy wished to bo regard ed as friends and were thought to bo friends. Jiut they were slothful and Indifferent nnd thnir tardiness showed they were unworthy friends. All who do not believe in God or who know him but are neglectful belong to the foolish virgins. The midnight cry of behold the bridegroom cometh shall como to all of us. Death comes with padded feet. His approach is noiseless. Others by you may not hear him but the cry will ring in your cars with trumpet tones. It Is then too late to fill your lamps. The soul shall go forth from Its tenement of clay companionless - less and shall bo dragged down by mocking demons to the lake that burnoth with fire to dwell forever in torment with the devil and his ungolc. " The Hiimlay Dance. Rev. J. E. Ensign preached to a largo audience at the St. Mary's avenue Congrega tional church last night , In advocacy of the "Opon Door" work of the W. C. T. U. Ho chose his text from the twelfth chapter of Komans : "Abhor that which is evil. " Ho promised his audlcnco that ho would not waste any time talking about dead Issues , but would apply the plumbet of God's truth to tlio facts and ideas and wrongs of to-day. Ho told the story of Nathan the prophet , and the disaster that was visited upon the traveler who took the lamb of the poor man and loft the /looks of the rich man undis turbed. The speaker referred to the six Sunday dances that occur regularly In Omnbu , nnd the Sunday ball games as being 'an evidence of the rapid manner In which the city is mounting up the shining way. The Sunday dunce he characterized as a fearful institution , a mighty agent of death and hell that is the greatest feeder of houses of shame. The Sunday dance is a foreign Insti tution , and should bo , In Mr. Ensign's opin ion , confined to foreign countries. "This deluge of Sunday pleasure. " said the speaker , "is not only unholy , but it'IB positively evil nnd wicked , The country girl unused to the clamor of city Ufa , falls a prey to the patrons of the Sunday dnnco nnd the Sunday theatre , and the firxt thing she knows she Is 'over the garden wall , ' wandering around In the mazes of the Sunday dance , diuoil , drugged and damned , A dance at ono of tbeso places Is a dance of hell. Flee these things nnd abhor evil in every form. " At WoHtinlnstor. Rov. Henry T. Millar , formerly pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian church of Chicago , occupied the pulpit of the Westminster Pres byterian church last ovenlng , delivering an eloquent sermon.

Whllo real ci tate values in other towns in the stnto are constantly docllng , in Nebraska City the market Is higher than It was last year , In no year in ton has there boon so much buildIng - Ing as nt present , and the growth of the city demands it. Among the public Improvements under way. this spring nro paving , extending the water mains anil BOWOM , and building new street railroads. A (20,000 public school house Is also under way , which will bo ono ot the handsomest In the ntnto.

The city will win ano .her feather as a plnco for successful celebrations on Arbor day , ns that day will bo observed In u manner only second to the great bridge celebration ot last fall.

The only drawback the city has exper ienced to its boom of 18S9 Is a disappoint ment received f10111 railway sources. The B. & M. DoWltt line , which had boon prom ised by-thnt road this year , has again been delayed. A prominent man of the road says the line will bo built , but It is not probable that it will bo done this year , ns tbo rend is cutting down every possible source of ox- ponso. Great hopes were nUo built on the Rook Island and Wubash , ns ono or both were expected to extend their lines from a point in Iowa to tills city , The board of t ratio recently presented a proposition to tbo Rocu Island nnd received a reply that while the rend would bo pleased consider it , the company would not and could not build a single mile of road in Iowa ns long as the present anti-railroad laws ex isted in that state , nnd consequently could not build to Nebraska City. The question of levying nn occupation tax of (500 on the saloons of Nebraska City Is now before the council. The members of that body are equally divided on the subject , nnd it is doubtful if the proposition will oarry. The saloons of this city nt present pay $500 license , although according to popu lation , should pay 81,000. The city treasury is In sere need of the money nnd that is tlio reason the tax is proposed. DISCIPLES OF IlKNIlY GI2OUGI2. Tlioy Meet nnd Talk for the Good of Their Cause. The Omaha Single Tax club met at Gata City hall at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The mooting opened with an address by W. D. Bcckot , upon the subject of "Reforms and Reformers. " Ho referred to the fact that all great reformers had boon stigmatized as visionary dreamers by the great mass of the people of the times in whioh they lived , and yet whoso rofoiins nro now part of our civilization and the result of whoso great work wo are now enjoying n the privilege which each ono has of worshiping God ac cording to thu dictates of his own conscience. Ho spoke also of these reformers who dreamed of establishing a form of govern- in on t under which all should enjoy equal political liberty , and how ttieir ideas were scouted as bolng absurd and impossible. Yet to-day wo are living under u republican form of government which is but the realization of what was then consid ered n wild and Impracticable dream. Then , having scon religion and political lib erty established the speaker asked If It woio too much to hopa that wo might yet see tha realization of tnat great reform which is to bring industrial liberty to tnantclnd. This , ho claimed , could bo accomplished by abolish ing all taxes on improvements and substltut- a slnclo tax on land values. The mooting then listened to the reading of the first chapter of Henry George's Progress nnd Poverty , by Mr. John Hllcs. A general dis cussion of the single tax followed.
