The Fcinnln Drummer.
Have you soon the latest comer
In the Hold I
When you gaze upon her , know your
! nto is sealed I
It's no sort of use to throw your
Self before her
And Implore her ,
In your weakness ,
And your meekness ;
Nor to mutter ,
You nro but n
Man , nnd she a female drummer.
She Trill talk you deaf and dumber
Than aclatn ;
Though you know the goods she's selling
Are a sham ;
You give in there's no repelling
I lor Invasion ,
Knglish , Asian ,
White or yellow ,
"Whore's the follow
That Is human , ,
I Born of woman.
| Can resist the female drummer !
1 Bo It winter , bo it summer ,
I She will drum ; '
i On her tours of devastation
She will come ,
And your bump of approbation
Can but dwindle
At the swindle
You submit to ;
Wlfo.wlll twit , too ,
Till you wonder
Why in thunder
Heaven o'er made the female drummer.
A fitrrct Car Incident.
As a motor train passed the Paxton house
corner about 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
it was stopped for a moment to lot on two
passengers. Ono was a woman of middle
ago , neatly but plainly dressed , evidently a
'well-to-do woman of the middle class. Her
companion was possibly thirteen years old.
e ThollKonessin feature marked the twain
ulsters. It was particularly a pleasure to
look upon the fnco of the younger , hlgh-
eplrltcd , .fresh end Innocent.
'Iho older woman approached the con
ductor and told him to put her sister oft at
the Central house on the other side. Ho
started and looked sharply at her for a
moment , then , half curiously , nodded his
head in assent. At the next corner the older
turnoi1 to the little girl at her sldo , and kiss
ing her fondly , said she hoped all would bo
pleasant at the now place and ttiat she
' would like it. Then she loft the car.
The conductor addressed his little passen
ger , saying :
"Did you say you wanted to got off at the
Central house I"
"Yos , sir. "
"Havo you ever boon there before ! "
"No. "
"What are you going to do there ! "
"Why , I'm going to do chamborwork , " she
replied wonderlngl.v , unable to understand
why she was subjected to such questioning.
"How does it como you nro going thorol"
ho persisted.
"Why , an old lady nnd a man called at our
bouse last night and sooko to my parents
about me. They said I might go. "
"Well , do yon know the character of this
Central house ! "
"No. "
"Well , then , you must not go there. It Is
ono of tbo worst hell-holes in. the city , a ro-
lort for negro and whlto prostitutes. You
would be in fearful danger there. "
Then ho Hat down and told her In a bighearted -
hearted brotherly way of the inevitable re
sult should she enter this house. Death or
worse surely awaited her thcro , and he could
not allow her to proceed. She looked to him
like u mere child , innocent and ignorant.
She must return homo to her sister.
As ho told her all this the llttlo.miss's big
blue eyes spread wide with horror , and she
thanked her preserver sonorously.
A. traveling man who was a deeply Inter
ested , though silent spectator , jumped to his
foot and heartily grasping the conductor's
hand exclaimed " CJ d hero's
: 13y , a man ,
nnd a man who deserves the best in the
land. If no ether testimonial to bis square
ness can bo given I'll ' see Unit his action
flnds its way Into print. Most men would
have sat still and let this little girl go
straight to helL Why , I myself
board her say she was going to
that hoil hole , and I looked at
her in surprise. She scorned very young
nnd Innocent to bo going to such a place , but
I'd never have thought to stretch out n band
to hold her back. Wo are all n blamed sight
too careless and It's a real treat to meet a
man a real trno man who knows how to act
63 wall ns how to BOO. "
"Don't put it too strong , for those people
might slug mo some night. They're quite
capable of doing It. " Interposed the con
ductor. It is only through the modesty ol
the latter that ho is nameless hero.
The girl was brought back to tbo place
where she cob on the car , and within a short
distance found her sister.
' A. Pertinent
OMUI.V , July 24. To the Editor of Tan
BKB : Will some of tha many boys who are
talking so much of "Drummers' Day" dur1
Ing Merchants' wool : , please inform us when
the committee of merchants have asked thorn
to take part in the week's work !
Is it not going a llttlo too fast to presume
that tuo drummers are necessary to make
the week a success *
Of course the drummer Is noted for his
cliook , but wo bad no idea ho would insist on
the Jobber taking him iu on the pleasure that
goes with the business I
Is It not enough for the Jobber to pay all
the profits out this year in salary and ox--
penscs of the drummer , without fixing up ar
rangements for a day off )
Now , for heaven's sake , boys , lot up on.
this drummer day talk , and put In your tlmo
Belling goods , and whan the 'Jobbers need
your assistance in a Merchants' week they
will call on you. ONE OK THEM.
In reply to the abov , which appeared last
week , "Ono Who Was Tnero" writes as
follows :
Evidently the party who wrote the article
tc regard to Drummers' day , in your Issue of
the 2th ( ! , Is.not acquainted with the particu
lars of our parade last year. I will ask him
vrhut was there last year besides Drummers'
day tor the entertainment of visiting mer
chants while in the city. I will alto state
tbat all expenses connected with the travel
ing men's part of the parudo was paid by the
boys. There is no doubt but what the mer
chants ol Omaha appreciated our efforts and
would Kindly extend us an invitation to par-
ticiputo this year. If this party thinks it is
all pleasure and no work to take part in
thcso parades , and that the boys are only
after the plcasuro there is In it , I would
refer him to Uobort Easson , Joseph Car-
neau. jr. . Charles A. Coo , John Ilrady , Mr.
Croy or Mr. Moday. Any of the above can
tell you if the drummer did. any work last
year. Most of the boys look at the mutter
from a business standpoint and go In to ad-
rorllso our city and to help entertain their
customers while in Omaha. In answer to
the last sentence of his article I will say that
the boys who did nil , or nearly all , the work
last year kroi ) up their end of the string Iu
oiling goods for their respectlvo nousei.

A N'outiirnnl Guo.st.
"Did you hear the latest on ! " in
quired a well known knight of the grip , as
bo edged up to n reporter and uttorcd the
name of a fellow drummer who represents
ono of tha loading grocery houses of
Omaha. The scribe replied to the nega
tion. "Well then I can relate to you
a corker , but don't mention any names
or thcro will bo trouble in thn ranks of the
gontilei. Wo wore out at about a week
ago , and there being no trnin.upon which wo
might depart at n seasonable hour , and ns
wo had both listed heavy orders , wo con
cluded to put up at the hotel over night.
There were but few of the boys in the hotel
that night , and in consequence wo were nl-
lotcd the parlors on the first floor.
Wo retired somewhat late' , and , the night
being warm , wo loft our window open. I
was aroused from mjr slumber by the bite of
a festive bedbug , but after deliberately mur
dering the Intruder , I again closed by eyes
upon the wicked world. Suddenly I hoard a
noise not unllko the roar of a cannon , which
was followed bo the smashing of furniture ,
glass , and. In fact , it scomod as though the
elements of destruction had boon turned
loose , and that the building was to bo reduced
to fragments. My room opened Into the
ofllco where ttio night clerk a largo brlndlo
bull-dog was stationed , and I was dis
suaded from instituting nu Investigation. In
a few moments the landlord appeared upon
the scone. This gave mo courage and I
ventured out in order to as
certain what was up. The noise came
from that portion of the building whore my
partner was domiciled , and as the laudlord
and myself nntcrcd tha hallway there be
stood In his nocturnal garb with his former
rosy checks as whlto as bleached muslin.
' 'Say , ' ho stammered , addressing the
landlord ' In didn't
, 'why you
toll me something about that
cussed thing. I never had such - a
close call iu my lifo. Talk about spooks , I
thought that the devil himself was iu that
window. '
"You see , there was a mule allowed to run
at large , and it poked its head through the
wmgow and brayed. was aslcop , nnd
of course ho was frighted all the moro. Just
as the uiulo swung his air from a to g ,
sprang from tha bed and broke the door
down it making his escape. "

Horace Shnms was at the Murray yester
day.
day.Away
Away back in ' 74 , in the gentle springtime ,
Simms made his ilrst visit to Omaha. In his
own words , "it was a rocky trip. "
"I don't remember , " said Horace , ns ho
pulled Billy Anderson's wlnskora , "just what
road it was I came in on , but I do remember
landing away off there about fourteen miles
below Council Bluffs and taking an old stern
wheel ferryboat for Omaha. The wheezy
old engine puffed along at tno rate of about a
milo an hour , and finally wo landed at
Omaha. There were a lot of Indians on the
bank , a few whlto mon and an old-
fashioned omnibus. It was muddy.
Mnddyl Well , that old caravan's
wheels wont down about thrco feet in
the mud. It was a hard trip , but finally wo
landed at a hotel that stood ever there near
where the Millard now stands. Tbo hotel
wasn't flrst class In all Its appointments , but
wo were treated royally by the proprietor
and had no kick coming. In those latter
years when I am at Omaha on Sunday I
nmuso myself by noting the changes in the
town during thosoilftconycars. Where there
was mud in ' 74 there are now well paved
streets , and on the whole this old town of
Omaha is the most promising city of the
west. By the way , I was up to see the new
homo of TUB BIH yesterday , and nlso the
New York Lifo tbuildlng , and I consider
them the two finest structures west of Now
Yorlf , and I don't care where they aro.

SnntTLiAKE , la. , July 20. | SpoolaltoTnB
BKR. I Spirit Lake hn hnd its mld-fummer
crusb , and the regular guests of Hotel Or
leans are once moro happy In the thought
that for tlio remainder of the season they
will have rest , comfort nnd quiet in the
plcasmitproves and boachcs of tbo beautiful
lake ,
The week started In with ft crowd , and
until yesterday evening thcro has boon
nothing but crowds ,
The common conversation from last Mon
day morning until Wednesday nt 8 o'clock
was about races. The crows wora nil on
hand , and two or thrco ttmos each day the
light shells wcio driven through tlio glassy
wntor ever ttw courso. Each loam worked
hard to learn tlio course nt every point nnd
lit themselves for tlio contest.
With each crew's appearance interest In tbo
raccs Increased to such an extent that when
the flrst crow appeared in their boat prepared -
pared to strlvo for the coveted modals , fully
y.UOO people looked upon thorn with specula
tive Interest.
The crowd was scattered along ; every part
of the course. The surface of the lake was
dotted with every kind of water craft nnd
dovlco that would flout and carry passen
gers.
gers.Tho lake stetimor , "Thu Qucon , " was char
tered for the roforco , tlio Judges , represen
tatives of the press nud Uiclr wives. Tun
HUE wns represented by a good largo pair.
Tim next largest craft in sight was n sail
boat which would nccomodato fifty people.
It was anchored Just outside of the fishing
flags , and Its passengers included an Omaha
party of about twenty , whoso names were
given In the race report.
The grove in front of the betel , tbo hotel
verandas and tower held the rest of the
crowd and their cheers readied far up the
courso.
The races were ever Thursday afternoon ,
nnd Thursday evening the medals wore pre
sented nt the regatta hop. Colonel Clark , of
Cedar Kapids , In a very pleasant llttlo speech
announced the names of the winning crows
in each race , and as ho did so the members
of the crows stopped forward nnd received
their prize.
During the remainder of the evening there
was so much shining gold worn by the vic
tors and their best girls , that ono could
easily imagine himself at a reception of
some of the crowned heads , or that Gilmore
and his famous band bad boon turned loose
upon tbo company.
Each nnd every town represented In the
regatta received a medal but McGregor.
They rowed In two of three hard races , and
made a royal showing , but the rud
der of their boat could not cross the
line flrst. Council Bluffs were late m
their winnings , but they won a glorious and
oloso victory whim it camo. It was the
swimming race , and the last event on the
programme. Mr. J. L. Dodgn reprosontcd
the Bluffs in this race , and by his endurance
as well as his speed was able to win In sev
enty-live yards by only a body's length. It
was anybody's race until the lost twenty
yards , when a beautiful spurt landed the
winner in his place.
The races have not boon the only source of
entertainment during the week. Tuesday a
came of ball between the Cedar Rapids
Episcopal church choir boys and the Spirit
Lake nlno for tbo gate receipts was'watched
with interest by a good crowd. The mom-
bars ' of tha choir do not care to
have the score of the game announced.
Wednesday morning a game was played on
'tho hotel grounds between nines from Slbly
and Piuestono. Thursday was the base ball
day of the season , however , when nine
brawny Indians from the great Sioux reser
vation crossed bats with the local nino. To
say that the rod man can play ball does not
half express It. Ho throws and runs bases
with QU accuracy and speed tbat would make
an American ball player blush , and wish ho
belonged to tuo great red tribe. The boys
acquired their knowledge of the game at the
Indian school In Carlisle , Pa. Each niuo
won and lost a game by ono scoro.
The races and base ball , however , did not
attract every ono. The knights of the line and
rod were persistent in their attempts to anni
hilate the tinny tribe , and every day tisbing
boats started away loaded with fishermen.
The events of the evenings have been the
hops. Tuesday evening' the ofllco of the
hotel ivas converted into an informal ball
room , and the week's dancing began.
The first dross party of the week was
given Wednesday night in the dimncr hall.
It was the regular midweek party and was
attended by about ono hundred couples.
The regotta hop took place last night , and
while not quito so largo as the Wednesday
evening party was pleasanter , owing to the
decrease in numbers. About soveuty-flvo
couples attended it.
Aside from the general public amusements ,
such ns dancing , base ball and fishing ,
small individual crowds of about four or six
may bo seen wending their way to rooms
during the early hours of the evening or af
ternoon. What they do there can only bo
surmised from the rattle of the ivory. A
distinguished member of the United States
senate , from n university town in this state ,
has n neat square table In bis room , where
every evening n select company of Judges ,
colonels , etc. , discourse on tbo twonty-llvo
cent limit.subject.
A swell English party ralso that limit a
little and entertain their American friends
once in a while , or bo entertained.
The great national game is not limited to
the gentlouion only. A number of ladles are
said to indulge. In a five and tea cent limit ,
and settle like soldiers.
Ono peculiarity about tha guests at tbo
Orleans is their lack of appreciation of an
clcguut bathing beach. No lake or ocean has
a liner sandy beach , or clearer water than
Spirit LaUo. This feature of summer resort
lifo seems to bo appreciated by only about
twenty-live of the rustlcators. Among these
Miss Wilson , of Omaha , has the reputation
of being the Handsomest diver nnd swimmer ,
She can bo soon In tbo water nlmost every
afternoon. Mls Morbar , of New York , has
the second place in the oycs of the people as
"ono of the ladles who dlvo. "
The class of people who neither swim , fisher
or row spend their their tlmo burled In cooks ,
and enjoying1 the alogant cool woathur which
tbo lake has boon biassed with all summer.
A cool unough breeze auring the day to
render flannel outing suits very comfortable
and znako light wraps comfortable during
the evening. This kind of weather makes
Ufa nt the lakes very attractive for Omajia
visitors , and has n tendency to detain them
hero until Omaha Is cool enough to live in.
Tho-ciuly departure for Omaha during the
proiont week was * Mr. Charles Ogdon. A
number of Council Bluffs citizens were pres
ent during the week to witness ibo races , but
have returned homo or to other resorts.
Among these present who have roturuod to
tbo HlufTs were Mayor and Mrs. M. F.
Huoror , I. M. Treynor and the members of
the crows. J. L. Dodge , Phil Dodge , Miss
Dodge and her friend. Miss Judson , have departed -
parted for their cottage nt Clear lako.

Hotel Cnrrldnni nnd Klsoxvhorr.
J. J. Watklns , ft njanufacturcr ot coopcr-
ngo nt Rock Falls , lilt , wAs in the city yes
terday nt the Paxtori hotel. Questioned re
garding the general condition of his trade ,
ho said :
"Consolidation. is > thp , central Idcnof the
ago. Wo fool It. Every business fools it. Just ,
whore it will all ondjs an interesting prob
lem that our social , philosophers should
tackle. It's like looking for the brldgo at the
other end ot otornlty. It bcntc nil how
fast things have boon going that way during
the last ton years. A. fldcado ago the butter
tub and barrel business- the north Mis
sissippi was In the bands of thousands of
small manufacturers , and the work was
done almost entirely by hand. An army of
men was employed in the big barrel shops of
Minneapolis , and another uriny in tbo in
numerable country butter-tub factories of
Iowa , Illinois and Minnesota. They nil
earned good wages , wore Independent nnd
were inveterate travelers. To-day the same
territory is covered by loss than half a
dozen big butter-tub factories , whoso
output Is vastly larger than was that
of the hand shops. Not so much
change Is noticeable In tbo Minneapolis bar
rcl shops as in the butter tub factories. In
the latter oven moro than m the former ,
labor saving machinery has displaced skilled
hand labor and driven hundreds of mon
from the trade. Lots of mon who formerly
earned SIC to $30 a week at the bonuu nro
working now for half as much , and glad to
get it , running machinery. Most of the best
men have quit the trade , though I can't son
what has become of them. And yet it would
bo folly for any man to say that labor saving
machinery isn't a good thing for the raco. "
'Hull is out of the race , " remarked a well-
known Iowa politician stopping nt the Paxton -
ton last evening.uln fact , ho never was In
it. He's a slow horse in mighty fast com
pany , to use a sporting phrase , and ho Knows
it as well us any man. Ho isn't iu the race
to win , but to help ono of the big follows
pocket the other. It's going to bo Hutchln-
son or Wheeler , and If the convention don't
say Wheeler I'll miss my guess. Larraboo
couldn't ' have it now , and wouldn't take it if
ho could. Sour grapssl No , I don't think
that. Ho had the field all to himself , and
could have forced a rcnouilnation hnd ho do-
slrcd it when tbo campaign opened , but ho is
ambitious. His eye is on a higher place. I
think ho will aim at the United States scnato
next. Allison's term doosn't expire for a lit
tle while yet , and the doughty llttlo gov
ernor can spend a year or two to good advan
tage trimming his sails for the longer flight.
Allison is strong enough to stand six years
moro of it , but it's dollars to cents ho
don't ' try very hard for it. Allison and iavo

and really tbo very brightest fellow in the
Iowa delegation , are warm friends. Both
are from the same town , which the balance
of the stnto might object to if the men
wero'nt of the heaviest caliber. Allison is
old , and could stop down and out gracefully ,
bearing with him the affectionate. , farewell
of u nation. Henderson is young
enough to aspire , and strong enough
to win. Some day ho will demand
a seat in the United States senate and got
it , too. Now , marK this : Damon and Pyth
ias were no more devoted to caen other than
Larrabeo and Henderson. First and last
they will support each other , and If they
take the field together , they could sweep
Iowa like a hurricane , and have nny tblug
they want for tho.asking. Now , mark my
prediction , both these men will go to the senate -
ate , and Larraboo first of the pair.
To be sure , there is Inothlng so uncertain
as the outcome ot political plans , nnd all such
predictions must bo , to .a degree guesswork ,
but the speaker has , put in fifteen years hard
campaigning in Iowa , iriost of the time serv
ing on the state central committee , and all
the time enjoying -tho : * confidences of the
loaders ; bunco , bis opinions carry much
weight. " . . - r
O. F. Wilson , a Nodaway countyMtssourI ,
general farmer , poured the following tale
into the ear of a HUB reporter as the pair sat
on the Arcade's front stops yesterday uftor-
noon : ,
"We don't care a cent whether binding
twine goes up or down ; wo are indifferent
as to whether or not tuo < Chicago detectives
ever catch Tascott , andswe don't have to rise
in the dewy morn , and hunt tbo
chinch bugs out of our wheat fields
with shotguns , either ; but there's ono thing
wo all buy pools on nnd give odds every
time. That's our fruit crop. If there's anyone
ono tains Missouri should feel proud of more
than of everything else it's her fruit crop.
It's simply immense in quantity and quality ,
and this year will pan out bolter than ovor.
The apple orchards of northern Missouri are
groaning under their burdens of fruit.
Omuhii could reach out only 150 miles and
got a good share of it if she felt so disposed ,
but she don't ; so Kansas City gets it all and
sells us our own goods. "
AN IMPORTANT PROJECT.
The Rock Island , nt ttio Head ol the
Omaha & Gulf Road.
Articles of incorporation of the Omaha ,
Lincoln k Gulf railway have boon filed with
the secretary of state , an account of which
appeared in the Lincoln bureau of Tun BEE
yesterday. The Incorporators nro George
L. Uhocus , G. A. Wulkop , J. L. Do Bovoiso ,
B. Sllloway and M. P. O'Brien. Mr.
Bhochs is right-of-way agent of the Chicago ,
Rock Island . ! & Pacific , wltn headquarters at
Chicago. G , A , Wulkop is vice president of
the Hutchlnsoo , Oklahoma & Gulf railway.
Do Bevoiso is local ticket agent of the Ilock
Island In this city. B. Silloway is proprie
tor of the Murray hotel , and M. P. O'Brien
is a local attorney.
Mr. Sllloway , ono of the Incorporators ,
when questioned concerning the matter ,
stated that important steps relative to the
'building ' of the road had already boon taken.
Tliat a line crossing the state of Kansas , had
been surveyed. Ho was reticent concerning
the support of the project , financially , but it
was learned from one of tlio incorporators
who desired that bis name bo withhold , that
the Ilock Island is behind the deal. The plan
is , ho said , to build a line from Omaha to
Hutchlnson , where a connection would bo
made with the Oklahoma road , and the
ninety miles of the latter road , already con
structed , would bo used by the now line in
building southward to the Gulf of Mex
ico. In ether words , the now com
pany would absorb the Hutcain-
so n & Oklahoma franchise. Messrs.
Kbochs and Wulkop , ho said , were hero last
weoir , and looked Into tbo matter of gaining
an entrance to Omaha. They are now in
Chicago , but will return in a few days. Ho
also stated that as soon as tbo plans were
perfected in detail It was the Intention of the
projectors to ask the city of Omaha , and the
counties and towns through which the line is
to pass , to vote bonds as a bonus for the con
struction of the road , The capital stock is
placed at § 12,000,000. Should circumstances
prove favorable the road will bo pushed to
completion. The engineering of the onter-
prlso is loft entirely In the hands of Rhochs ,
which substantiates Hie statement to the
effect that the Ilock Island is behind'tbo
movement. The general offices will bo lo
cated in Omaha. ' J '

Tlio Slicrmnn Avenue Motor.
It was n great day for the Mercer motor.
It was n great day for outing. It was n great
day for babies.
It was the flrst Sunday the north nnd
northwest motors ran , and , like the opening
ot a now bridge , tbo. Inception of n new in
dustry , the opening of a now building , every
body wnntod to see It. And everybody or
nearly everybody Is supposed to hnvo not only
scon it , but to have ridden upon it ,
Tbo trains , even late Into the night , were
loaded with piissengars. There were
among the patrons mon , women and children
who bad never rlddon on nny street convey
ance save a horse car. To thorn there was n
novelty In the rumble of the machinery , the
hum of the trollo.v under the copper wire
and the rapidity with which thi tr.iln How
past houses and Intersections , us if in dofl-
nnoo of city ordinances regarding rates of
locomotion. Then the iittnosphnro was pleas
ant and Inspired the riders with the expecta
tion nnd buoyancy of so many people picnic-
bound.
The boll rings. A Ions note li'to ' A sharp.
In crescendo , like the song of the wind
sounds. There is n rumble b.inoath. The
train moves. The note DCCOIIIOS louder , the
racket beneath becomes moro distinct. It
boats a lively tatoo to the air which the
speaking wire nbovo Is singing.
Louder and louder becomes the music ,
moro rapidly beats tbo hidden drummer utul
with a Uvhlz7. lochng dominating thu con
trivance , the train Jump * , into a ton-mile
gait.Out
Out from the streets In the tnnor part of
the city which ono BOOH every duy , it rattles
along thoroughfares llttlo known except to
these who live In the vicinity. Up Seventeenth
toenth street , past houses built a generation
ago , curlouslv associated with those of later
years , it loads to a series of pictures which
mav , at best , bo only faintly reproduced.
Here in a llttlo double cottogo , with doors
scarcely largo enough to admit an avcrago
udult. Ou the porch of one-half of it sits n
Union Pacific shopman with his largo family
nnd portly , comely wife , dcljghted with the
visit of the electric wonder.
On the next porch Hits a palo , thin
man , for whom this work has no
pleasures , because the band of donth
has laid Its mark upon his features.
Near bv s the emerald-carpeted lawn , the
conservatory and the oil works of Clark
Woodman.
There is a llttlo black unpalntod ono-story
frame building. It was erected by a band
which was established in North Omaha sev
eral years ago. Hut the band died nnd the
bouso has long since found other owners.
A homo and buggy stand before the door
of a cottage. An ardent swain is helping
his Inamorata into the vehicle , the while a
left-behlnd sister peeks In envy from out the
parlor window.
Here , is a larco house with ample porch.
A big , good-naturod Gorman , with two chil
dren on his knees , four others in clone prox
imity , with his good wife on a stop leading
to the piazza , sits in speechless admiration of
the Hying train.
Further along , there is a row of fiats. Its
every window Is uopulatou. Four young men
Jump from n game of cards and bunch
their beads in inspection until the cars have
loft their vision. Inside a door , in the same
structure , stands a bonneted and demure
damsel , whoso lover's promise to take her
riding has not boon f ulflllcd.
The noisa of the train ceasos. The train
stops. When it is again in motion , a deli
cate man , a round , rod , rosy womun with
four tawny-headed , noisy , inquisitive chil
dren have boon added to the quota.
Here Is a house which is plastered with
fifteen signs "to rent , " which is generally
pronounced a sbamo.
On ono side of the street the rcsidonccs
nro huuiblo and on the other they stand upon
a bank and are of the ornate and ginger
bread style which has of late years boon so
extensively introduced into this city.
Wo shoot by them and turn the curve on to
Clark street where , yesterday , Mr. Ualcombo
found his rotten cedar blocks. The wonder
is the discovery was not made wccics ago , as
it should have been , before a block was laid.
Ilottcu cedar smells like rotten apples. The
smell which grootstbo tourists'nostrlls would
argue that a mountain of that decayed fruit
had been deposited in Uie neighborhood.
However , the party is out for a pleas
ant drivo. It finds no comfort in
tarrying with pestilence. It speeds
along Sherman avenue. There is less of the
wail in the notes which the trolley sounds.
It is a note of triumph ever having secured
possession of the thoroughfare , because it
was hero Mercer hnd his greatest ligbt.
Under the massive cottonwoods the train
glides , disdainful of the fact that tbo truck
upon which it rides has destroyed the only
drive that Omaha possessed.
Tom Daily's residence Is passed and the
erstwhile Salisbury tract , now hold by Gov
ernor Saunders ; D. Chambers' pretty place ,
the Cotter lawn , the Hauman park , with its
brewery background , and the little forest
and cluster of houses which Dock Smith has
built upon his ola-timo possessions follow.
Here wo overtake a struggling horse at
tached to a buggy. The vehicle contains u
lover nnd his girl. The motor 1ms sent
a thrill of terror into the stued'o heart.
The fooling is communicated to the young
man and malden , the farmer instinctively
piilllii ? on thu lines , without apparent pur
pose. Finally , thu animal staggers with the
vehicle toward the cars , nud there roimiinud
motionless as the train passed him like n
shot. A collision of n most scriuus result is
avoided only by the thickness of a hair.
Speechless women breath a sigh of relief ,
Tbu trolley sings as merrilv ns it it had been
brought into the world to show how horses
may bo dispensed with and the bestthine to
do with thorn Is to kill them at the earliest
opportunity.
Then the beautiful lawns of A. J. Popplo-
ton , with its dark green hedge , and winding
walks leaping to the vine-clad and trettisod
porch of the residence , those
also of A. . H. Sherwood and J ,
J. Drown are popped in succession.
There the cars rush through a llttlo busi
ness community which has dared to obtrude
Itself wnera It was once thought nothing
but palatial residences would bo located.
Following the line the heart of Kountzo
place , the most beautifully built boctlon of
the kind in this part of the country , is
reached and there tno Journey comes to an

The car Is loaded again as it begins Its re

WATER IN AUSTRALIA.
Discoveries or Underground Hirers In
Arid Portions of the Continent.
Some yours ago 1 ventured to assort
in theso-pagos , says u writer in Mac-
millun's Miigazine , that the future of
Australia for tlio next thirty yours
rested with the engineers. The recent
discoveries of underground rivers in the
most arid portions of the continent hnvo
given thuso words a greater signili-
etuice. The dilliculty of Austniliii lias
always been the fear that the land will
not support a largo population. Thuso
discoveries of water diapel that fear. It
uo\y appeal's that the volumes of tain
which fall about once in flvo years over
the greater part of the Australian con
tinent , covering with floods tlio plains
which for lour years previously have
not known moro moisture than might
bo given in England by a good fall of
dew , find their way through the porous
soils into channels and ebarabors be
neath the surface , where , nt a depth of
1,000 or 2,000 foot , they provide an in-
oxhaustablo store of the most precious
commodity Unown to the Australian
s.uattor. It is impossible to
say nt present how the
use of these underground supplies
of water may change the face of the
Australian continent. The overflow
from ono bore at a place called Korri-
broo has already cut a channel of sev
eral feet depth through the sand , and
now forms a permanent river of several
miles in length in what used to ho an
absolutely waterless country. It is only
to be expected that us moro water is
brought to the surface the clouds will
take up moro moisture by evaporation
and the rainfall will increase. Then ,
with regular rainfall and inexhaustible
tanks aad creeks , even the Australian
squatter might begin to bo contented.

Ono of the most mlsuluovous and most com

leprosy In the East ,
The discussion consequent upon the
increase uf leprosy in the east tends to
serious conflicts of opinion regarding its
cause. Ono authority declares it to bo
beyond question the result of a hot nnd
dump climate ; another says that it
comes from bathing when in n state of
perspiration ; a third from sitting in a
draught ; a fourth says 'that it is heredi
tary ; n IIfth that it is contagious , nnd
so is caught like small-pox or scarlet
fever ; nnd another accepts the senti
ment of the Ancient Jews , nnd assorts a
belief in its being u punishment for oin.
