Tlio now manual , ns revised and improved by General Carnnhan , has -been used and i3 much better than the old ono , as it conforms ns nearly ns possible to the tac tics used In the urmy and militia and Is uioro comprehensive. The O.mnhn divls.on hat done good work and If they will only continue this same work after the encampment is ever they need not bo afraid of any L-otipotltors. They should roriombor that proilcloncy Is only ut- talncd by hard work and that , an the "boom" is practically ever they must nttmid strictly to business nnd acquire an luttnuito know ledge ot nil tbo details of the drill. The fact that only thrco divisions , of the ton In Omaha , entered the lists for the priro , does not apeak xvoll for the boys. Five en tries would have boon h small per cent.

Should Adfjt Homo IMnu fur KncouraRlnR it * There Is a present general dcslro to extend Our foreign commerce. In order to keen our mlnos , furnaces , foundorlcs , rolling mills , machine shops nnd factories In successful operation , nnd llnd profitable markets for the excess of our agricultural products , wo must tccp on extending our foreign trade and find low customers In now markets , In plain anguago , wo must Increase nnd extend our export trade. The value of our Imports from the West ndlcs and South American States and other countries far exceeds these of our 'exports to ho same countries. The coffee , sugar , too , silks , dye woods , India rubber , hides , tropi cal frulU , etc. , etc. , that wo import , wo pay 'or largely In spoclo. The export trade wo mvc is carried on In foreign vessels. Wo iroduco and manufacture these things that ire wanted , produced and Imported by , ho Inhabitants of the countries wo so largely mport from. Tholr wants nro , however , supplied by other countries that have the ships to carry on this traffic.Vo have no suitable ships with which to engage In for eign trade. Nearly nil the goods wo import nnd export nro carried In vessels belonging jo persons of other nations. Even our malls .0 foreign countries nro mostly carried in foreign ships. Wo cannot hope to extend our foreign trade , unless wo own and sail , under the protection of tno American Hag Jnci of fast ocean steamers , to ply between the United States and the countries wo desire - sire to trade with. This much , I think , Is conceedcd , nnd requires no further argument. Hov/ then to create , maintain and success fully keep ntloat such a commercial mar mo is Lhe question , nnd the only question. Wo have the necessary capital , the skill and push. Lot It bo shown bow It may bo dona : uul its accomplishment is as sured. The governments of the leading maritlnin nations pav largo sums to compa nies owning lines ot ocean steamship em ployed In foreign carrying trade , either ns subsidies or for carrying the malls , and also exempt the property In them from taxation. As n rule thn owners nro taxed n mere nom inal rate on the profits only. The United States pays no subsidies or largo sums for currylnn Its mails to any American compa nies of ocean steamship lines employed In foreign trade , and the property In tholr ships is subject to local taxation upon nn assessed valuation. Such foreign companies engaged lu foreign carrying trade receive largo sums of money from tholr respective govern ments mid pa ) ' llttlo or no taxes , while ours receive nothing from that source nnd hnvo to pay out largo sums In taxes. It it this difference in the iucomonnd expenditure that Insures n continuance of the prosperity of foreign lines , nnd stands in the way of tbo establishment of an Ameri can commercial marine. The successful es tablishment of American lines of merchant ships would hoein to clearly Ho in the direc tion of government aid and exemption from taxation. And if government aid Is neces sary to secure nn oftlclent merchant marine , considering the great advantages that would accrue to the United States therefrom , sound governmental policy should dictate that aid bo liberally provided. Should congress , howovor. think it not good policy to vote such aid , there Is no rea son why it should not provide for exemption from taxation , as suggested , under proper re strictions. But It bus been asserted that congress is without constitutional authority to exempt property in merchant ships from local or state taxation. In my next I shall cndowor to show how such exemption may bo provided for without violation of any of the provisions of the constitution. UIIIAII BRUNER. WEST POINT , Nob. A DUUTAlj JJUTOHEttY. A. Little Omaha Girl Among Five Murdered Pooplp. Tun Br.r.'s dispatches recently contained nn nccount of u horrible murder of five people which was committed near Living stone , Mont. Wednesday ex-Sheriff Crowoll of Lyons , Nob. , arrived in the city , bringing the intelligence that the murdurod persons were Gooruo Bates nnd wife , Ella Kurtz , Joseph Kurtz and Ida Schauss. Mra. Bates is n sister of Mrs. Crowcll , and Ida Schauss is a daughter of Julius Schauss , the janitor of the German-American club of Omaha. Mr. Crowoll has gene to Livingstone to identify the mutilated remains of his mur dered sister and friends. It SOOH13 that Schauas and his wife nnd llvo-yoar-old daughter wont to Holena.Mont. , about two months ago on a visit to friends , While there Mrs. Schauss was taken ill and died. The bereaved husband Intended re turning to Omaha with his little daughter , but was prevailed upon to leave the child with Mr. und Mrs. George Bates , two frioi-ds who wanted to talco care of her , and so ho returned homo alone. Shortly after Schauss' departure from Mon tana the family with whom ho had loft his daughter had a fluttering offer to go to Cali fornia nnd concluded to take the child with thorn. They started by wagon but had not gene far before the entire party was brutally murdered by unknown persons. The bodies wore found by some cowboys near Living stone , Mont , horribly mangled as though the bloody docd had boon done with an axe. From the surroundings it would appear that the people had been surprised in camp during the night. The murder had evi dently been committed for the purpose of robbery. At last accounts the murderers had not bcon captured and there was no clue left by which thoy'could bo identified. AN KAHTEIIN OP1ON1ON. A Newspaper Correspondent's Im proBMloiiH on Omaha. James A. Green , of the Cincinnati Times- Star , who paid n visit to Omaha last week , sends his paper tbo following in regard to this city : Omaha was n revelation to rao. To all appearances pearancos it is us largo as Kansas City , nnd I should certainly say that it is far moro beautiful. The streets nro wldor , the build ings moro imposing nnd the evidences of tnsto are moro plentiful and apparent , rod supposed that Council Ulufl * and Omaha , being called the twin cities , were built on opposite sides of the Missouri close to the river ban Its nf tor the fashion of Cin cinnati and Covington , nnd that they spent most of their tune swapping lies in regard to tholr rcspectlvo populations. This proved to bo an error , for Council Bluffs is at least thrco mlles from the Missouri river. It lies beautifully in the shadows of the green bluffs from whence It takes its nuino , and these nro nothing moro than solid mud liills. Then there is u long strip of river bottom only partially occupied before you como to the muddy Missouri itself , and directly Into Omaha. An olectrict road connects the two cities. It runs as fast as a cable road and with a much pleasant or motion. I saw thorn haul four cars after ono motor with appar ent case. The conductor told mo they had hnulod six cars crowded and it made no dif ference with tholr speed. There nro some heavy grades on this road , and many sharp curves , and yet the cars spin along with nil the ease and regularity of Mr. Kurpor's or Mr , Martin's cables. This road has Doan running for moro than a year and In that time It has bad but one stoppage ; that was on n sleety night , when the wire ( It uses but a single trolley ) was covered by a thlclc coating of loo. ' .I hey were obliged to go along the road with long poles and knock off thoico before the cars could run. With this exception tbo road has boon going day In nnd day out fora year , proving most conclusively that an electric road can bo built und oper ated successfully. It costs inucn less per mile than a cable and has proved a paying investment. And In Omaha , I think , there Is not a single horse car loft ; all the roads uro rapid transit. What a contrast between that bustling , enterprising western town anil our staid old Cincinnati Cincinnati thai would bo able to buy it out twenty times over , for all of the western cities ewe moro money than they have ; and yet in Omaha they are reveling In nil the modern luxuries , while wo are still clinging for the greater part to things of the past.

Uov. F. W. Foster has boon pastor of the church for nonrlv n year , aim Is making the church grow nnd prosper. It Is now ono of the most earnest and nqtlvo religious organi zations in the city nnd is doing a great deal of good In a religious way. -Chautnuqua assembly , which for the post three weeks has been hold near Council Bluffs , completed its labors and broke camp Friday morning. Those assemblies nro In full running order nt other points In this vicinity nud , in fact , all over the country , nnd seem to exert an elevating influence upon the culture and re finement of the ago. The Chautauqua has had a wonderful growth within the past ten years , and ns an ncency which was needed in r.ivililniinn , nnd thousands are enjoying its benefits to-day who never saw n Chautauqua assembly , while thousands of others nro at the very fountain head partaking of its high est privileges. Hov. Dr. Dunning , of Boston , ono of the ablest scholars of the age , who is in charge of the Cliautnuqua at Crete , will take Dr. Duryoa's place and preach in the First Con gregational church to-day.

Fogol- strom , ij > said to be a very able nnd eloquent as well ns a popular preacher , and one who is ncoustooied to draw ureat crowds. Mr. Frodin was born in Sweden , in 1S54 , and came to America two years ago , and to Nebraska last yoar. His congregation scorns to bo well pleased to have him for their pastor , and think that ho ivill add greatly to their numbers. The ICnox Presbyterian church of this city has recently received into its fold twenty- two new members , seventeen by letter and five by profession. The church is in n very healthy condition , and Rev. Asa Leard. its new pastor , is to be Inducted into the pastorate rate next .Sunday , nt which time Rev. Dr. Gordon will preside nnd preach the sermon. The charge to the now pastor will no deliv ered by Prof. McFarland and that to the people by Rev. William R. Henderson. The ladies of the congregation contomnloto im proving of the interior of the building in Various ways and have already uurohased u very tiandsomo bible for the pulpit. Tiio Southwest Presbyterian church has just had an addition of seven members to its congregation. During the pastorate of Rev. D. R.

Smith was Its llrst president and K. N. Hutchinson its llrst secretary. It was ono of the oldest associations in the country , only Now York , Chicago , Philadelphia , Bos ton and Washington and a 'few other cities having organizations formed earlier than the Y. M. C. A. of Omalm. The association , in Its early days , undertook n number of differ ent things , which , at the time , were much needed and were evidently highly appreci ated. Like many other associations It had qulto a checkered career and moro than onca had to bo rcorgnni/cd. Mr' G. T. Hovvsor , now the general secretary nt Cincinnati , O. , was the llrst ucnoral secretary. Ho was suecccdcd by Mr. George A , Joplin in the arduous duties that involved on the secretary. In 18SO the movement for the erection of the present building began. Mr. P. C. Himobaugh was then president of the Insti tution and Mr. L. Burnham was chairman of the buildiuc committee. The structure was opened in December , 1SSS , nud , since that date , the association has boon steadily grow ing until it now numbers 773 members. Tlio work now being done is in the same order ns that done in all largo cities , and will compare very favorably with all others in proportion to population. At thU time Of tbo year , com paratively little is bcin ? done In the building beyond the use of the bath rooms and reading - ing rooms , but the nthlotio park on Harnoy and Twenty-third streets is being made the center of attraction. Plans are now being made for tbo next sos- 1 slou's work. It is expected that the class lectures will opon'in the fall with a mom bar- ship of 1,000 and that the work the coming winter will exceed anything done yet.

The association has Jilted up a line gym nasium in Its now building , w.ilch is well attended by many of the business mun and sta'donts of this city , whoso sedentary pur suits make such oxorclso u necessity. Great pallia are taken with the classes in tbo gym nasium , and much bonollt Is derived from the well directed exorcises.

Mon Who Have tiotiR Served In tlio Brotherhood Unnkn and tit Mnnr of tlio Departments or Kallronit Work. VVlio Wilt Bo Chlof ? OnthoSthof next October the Drothor- liood of Locomotive Engineers will moot nt Denver in minimi session. The most impor tant mutters to como before tlio convention will bo the election of ofllcors and the pro position to fadorata wltb all other organiza tions of railway employes , with the excep tion of the Order of Hallway Conductors. The selection of a ohlof to 1111 the position now held by Arthur will Involve moro or less generalship. The position has n salary of W.OOO per year , and nil expenses Incurred whllo adjudicating labor controversies by the chief nro berne by the brotherhood. Chief Arthur has already placed his candidacy fern n ro-olcctlon on record , and has marshalled forces on which ho may hope to rely. Hut , whatever strength ho nmy obtain from the eastern members of the order , will avail but llttlo as compared with the western clement , which , It Is said , will , In all probability to u man , ouposo his ro- oloctlon. In western cities It Is not so much the dis like of Arthur as it Is the desire to select a western man. Even In eastern circles. It Is reported that Arthur will moot with cunsld- orablo opposition , and with the support of this objecting element , the western mun claim that they will bo victorious. It Is no longer a secret that George Vro- man , of North Plutto , chairman of the grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , on the Union Paclllo system , will bo ono of the candidates who will aspire to Ohlof Arthur's place. That Vrotnan's conservative policy as regards * issues botwoou the rail roads and the engineers and tictwocn the two elements has a strong support In the ranks of the brotherhood , Is universally ad mitted. Unllko Arthur , ho is possessed , it is said , of a will-power wnteh is always exer cised and made felt when in the right. This fact was demonstrated recently in moro ways than ono. Vroumn , like Arthur , is opposed to strikes , but will countenance this moans when others fall. Ho believes that the rights of the engineers are paramount to those of the company ; and , in case the rights and privileges of the engineer cannot bo maintained by fair means , ho would not hesitate to sanction a light. This , however , is an ultimatum which ho favors only whan all other sources have failed. It has boon quietly whispered for some time that Vroman would bo in the race for the chiofship and among the engi neers in this section ho Is the fuvorito. Prior to the recant eruption between the engi neers and the officials of the Union Pacillc , regarding the scala of wages on the Kansas Central. Vromun's chances nro considered fairly good , but the manner in which ho ac complished victory has given his stock tin upward tendency and will bo the founda tion upon which his supporters will work their campaign. * There nro other western men who will as pire to Chief Arthur's place. Michael Cav- ender , who was chairman of the famous "committee of nlno" which effected a sattlo- mcnt of the great Burlington strike , an event which Is still fresh in the minds of railroad men , is one of them. Cavender Is an engineer on the California Southern and is ono of this men who loft their posts when the Burlington strike was declared. Ho is rated us possessed of good judgment , but for seine reason ho has not the following that is Idontlllcd in Vroman's case. When the settlement of the strike was reached , and the terms were matte known , some of the engineers took the stand that they furnished the Burlington company an nvcnua of cscapo when It , cauio down to the reinstatement of the strikers. They main tained that the committee representing the engineers was blindfolded , and that the re instatement of the strikers should have been a spccilic clause in the agreement. The com pany , as a consequence , they hold dictated to the engineers. For this reason it is thought Covendor's chances are not as favorable as tboy would have otherwise been. And still another strong candidate for the place Is Kobcrt M. Clark , who runs a passenger train on the Union Pacific out of Denver. Ho ( us a large following in the ranks of the brotherhood and has hud many years of ex perience in railroading. Clark is said to have a conservative judgment and a practical knowledge of the ins and outs of the railway world. Ho Is reported to bo modest yet firm in his stand when ouco taiten , and to have * the Intel cat and welfare of his brother engi neers at heart. While Vroman , Cavender or Clark may all fail in their endeavor to roach the chief position in the ranks of the brother hood , it Is safe to predict that they will enter the convention wltn a distinct following and and concentrate tholr forces should circum stances points toward the selection of an eastern man. The Fremont , Elkhorn ft Missouri Valley has taken commendable steps in the enlarg ing of its suburban and local train service , and the accommodation is appreciated. lu is only through good local train service that the merchants of Omaha and contiguous points are enabled to communicate with ono another in n business way. Basing their conclusions on this , the officials of the Elkhorn - horn have established a service that sur- uasses that of any other road centering in Omaha. It has been so arranged that busi ness men residing within a radius of 150 miles of Omaha , can como to the city , trans act their business , and return tlio sauio day. "In doing this , " said n wholesale grocer , "tho Elkhorn has sot an example that other men might do well in following. The action of the > Elkhorn In this direction merits a wholesome patronage. The oftlciais of the Union Pacific , ranking below the president , have grown restless of late owing to the announcement in a press dispatch from the east that the graduating clans of Harvard college numbered about ono hundred. This may appear to be a vague statement but the mistory is cleared away when it is made known that official material (1) ( ) for the Union Pacific has bcon obtained trom this college. As yet , however , nothing which would encourage the selection of men from that place has resulted , and it is wills pcrcd that the experiment has worked Inim ical to the exchequer and interests of the woll-known transcontinental lino. * Manager Baldwin , of the Leaven- worth , Topeka & Southwestern road , is "at homo" to his engineers at present. Ho was in Omaha a few weeks ago basking In the sunshine of a now adventure the reduction of engineers' wages. Old time railway oftlciais stood back and winked nt each other as Baldwin button-holed them , tolling how ho had taken n stand against an organliatlo.i that had "hold the club" over "big guns" for years. The old war-horses know that the bubble would soon burst , and that the manager would bo sat upon by the opposing faction to tlio tune of1,000 pounds to the square Inch. Tno result of the controversy - troversy landed like a thunderbolt on the manager , who retired under the sting of do- feat. Reports of County Officials. County Superintendent of Schools Brunor yesterday submitted his report for the quar ter ending Juno SO to the county commission- ors. The report shows u balnnco on hand of 1183.01.

It Is my Intention to takn Ufa cany , for awhllo nt least , and lot somebody else tnko the abuse that certain newspaper * have boon giving mo. " Mr. Boyd declares that ho will never invest another dollar of his money In an opera house , In Omaha. "If thla was n largo city like Chicago , where man who engage In such cntorprups are free from so many potty nnoyanco * , It might bo different. A ground iloor theatre could not bo made to pay here , and the building of any other kind now would fall to moot , tbo public demand.

STRIKING PLUMBERS STILL OUT. A Wnrrnnt for Ux-l'rcflldant ' 1'ho Alton Imw in Illinois Nowa and Notes I'Vom Various Unions. Mny Affect Omalm. The alien law goes Into effect In Illtnoli July 1 , and the authorities of Chicago are preparing to enforce It. After that date the ulty cannot employ an alien on any contract or In any capacity. Contracts already nmda will not bo affected , but hereafter no alien will bo employed until ho has taken out his llrst papers nnd If ho falls to tnko out Ills second within three months of tbo specified li tlmn ho will bo discharged. This , It is thoughtwill undoubtedly send n largo Influx of foreign laborers to Omaha , nnd unless care is exorcised by union men a material reduction in prices will follow. The IMiiinlier.i. On Tuesday the striking Journeymen plumbers prevailed upon six non-union mon employed by the bosses to quit woric and Join them In the striko. A few mon nro still nt work and the employing plumbers nro fill ing orders after n fashion , but the strlko is having n tolling effect. Council Bluffs firms nro taking orders for work in Omaha right along. The plumbers , bosses nnd Journeymen nro not the only ones affected by the strike. A representative of Dun's commercial agency .yesterday said that there was no doubt that the Btrltto was affecting building very ma terially. There are certain men , according to his idea , who contemplated building this season nnd would have done no , but when this strike came on they became alarmed and determined to wait. There nro now lu Omaha many members of the building trades who nro idle on account of lack of work. The national organ of tlio Carpenters' union has warned nil members of that craft to keep away from Omaha on nccount of nil over-supply. A great ninny plasterers nro out of work , nnd u few bricklayers , lathers , and members of other building trades. From this It can bo readily seen thut the effect of this strike of from llfty to sovunty-livo men Is widespread. "Something should bo done , " said this gentleman , "whereby the difficulties would , bo settled. Omaha raunot afford to have her building stopped at this time. " ThU Is very true , but. to all appearances a termination of the strike Is ns remote now as it was when It begun nearly two mouths ago. Ijnbor Notes. The single tax club will meet ut 3:30 : p. m. today nt Gate City hall. The local employment aironclci are send ing from 100 to 150 laborers to different scc- tlont dally. The completion of the Now York Life nnd BUB buildings will loavn a largo nuuibor of aion employed in the building trades Idle. The agreement recently entered into be tween the Union Pacific railroad company and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers and Firemen went into olTcct Monday. The Plumbers' , Plasterers' and Bricklay er.V unious are making preparations to give a picnic at Cuthoun two weeks from to-day. A committee ol six has been appointed to make necessary arrangements. Cigarmnkors' union No. 03 will moot at Arcanum hall Wednesday night to elect a delegate to the national convention , which moots in New York in September. In about thrco weeks the work of repair ing the banks along the lowu side of the river opposite this city will bo commenced by the government. A force of 200 men is acquired to do tlio work. Many laborers , with teams , came to the city early in the spring , expecting to tlnd work immediately , but owing to the long delay in beginning public improvements many of them have been disappointed. The national convention of master plumb ers , assembled at Pittsburg last week , on * dorsed the action of thu master plumberH association of Omaha in maintaining the present strike. The convention hadn't the power to take further notion. A parly of day laborers became engaged in n drunken row on WcstCiiming street last Sunday and ono of their number , a man named Mercer was oadly cut. The mon are close mouthed and the nauia ot the man who did the cutting is known only to themselves. It will bo of interest to the journeymen tailors of Omaha to know that the San Fran cisco tailors have won a strike against non union mun and compelled the bosses to file a bond of $250 to stick to the agreement. These men wore lighting for practically the saino agreement as the union tailors here struck for in the spring. . Eight or ton bricklayers employed on tbo Dollona hotel struck a few days ago for eight hours' work on Saturday with nlno hours' pay. Through their action the car penters employed on the building were com pelled to quit work Friday for lack of em ployment. Yesterday the contractor man aged to got eight other men to go to work nt tlio old terms. KEEP COOL. THE LEONARD DRY AIR , CLEANABLE REFRIGERATORS. Five walls.to preserve the Ice.
