( subject of the private Uvea of congroasmon
U But , " ho continued , " 1 would not do audi a

IH that many of tbosoyou would expect to find

HH cinnot always toll by appearances who the
HH stray sheep are "
H A truism Indeed ,
HH i 1 coutd not pull morooutof thesergeant-at-
HH J arms upon this most interesting subject , but
H I I found another man who knows all about
H J the way in which congressmen llvo , and
Hgj from hi in t lenrnod much that is racy
H | "I was not astonished wheu I learned that
HH | many of the most wealthy mora bars as well
Hij as the poor ones had overdrawn tholr
H | accounts with the scrgcant-at-nrms , " Bald
H I ho , for in many instances the members who
H I have most property nro the ones who nro

HH tag of overdrawn accounts roailnds nio that
HH bad not Cashier Sllcott aosconded asadc-
HH fuuttei'hoand Leedom would have divided
H about tJJ.OOU proilt from llio discounting of
HH members salaries during the past bIk jenra ,
HH ] nud they did not cbnrge or collect more than
HH ] 73 per pent of their discounts Ten per cent
HH ] annual interest is charged on the discounts ,
HH ] iind some members put up' their salaries us
HH ] far as two years or a whole term in advance ,
HH ] so ns to raise $10,000 , less the interest Mr
HH ] Leedom always required a member who bor-
HH ] rowed moro tlinn n couple of months salary
HH ] to put up ns collateral secuiilya llfo insur-
HH ] ancd policy for double the amount borrowed
HH ] In event of death ho mndo money , you see
HHV In that war a member could only boat the
HHb banker by resigning Leedom lost a good
HHT ; many thousands by deaths and retirements
HHH however Do you know that nine-tenths of
HHk tbe members have their lives Insured !

HHH | The custom grow till tbo officer had charge
HHS of tbo finances of almost every ono who was
HHu employed by tbo house Under tbe sparse

HH of the bouso as a body , and Loodomv saw it
HHh so plainly five years ago that ho begged
HHul tbo committee on appropriations to

HHVt' responsibility and place it back with

HH There are two classes which form tbo
HH | body of congress : the man who married rich
HHV or suddenly made a fortune , who is without
HH | any idea of decency or propriety in money
HHV matters , and the man who is so'hard up *
HH | that hq would hypothecate his night shirt In

In ono of the most famous ot Washing
tons private restaurants 1 noticed on Now
Years evening the familiar figure of ox >
Secretary W. W. Belknap Ho was seated
at a tnhlo with several of the most promi
nent politicians of the cltv nnd was enter
taining them with n flow of reminiscence nnd
story which engaged their Interest nnd at
tention fur into the ovouing General Bel-
knap Is rapidly growing old and his hair nnd
long flowing board nro now noarlv white
Ho tnlcos dollght in recalling hiscaily dnjs
as a collcgo student and his early struggles
and successes before the war in Dubuque ,
where bo Was ndinlttod to the bar
, "I remember ono evening , " said the gen
eral , sitting in my study In North collcgo
In Princeton , the year before my graduation
As Junlots , according to the custom , our
class was supposed ta bo tha protectors of the
Incoming freshmen ngalnst the rapacity of
the sophomores On the evening in ques
tion I was deep in the translation
of a difficult sontenro in Tacitus
wnen the doot1 opened nnd nllttlo redheaded
boy , nttirod in a blue roundabout jacket with
brass buttons , burst Into tbo room Ho was
coughing violently and tears were running
from Ids eyes I asked him what the trouble
was and learned that bo had been driven
from bis room by a sophomore by the mtiuo
of Everhurt
"Ha has smoked mo out , confound him , "
blubbered the youth , * and I want some
placa to sit down , My room is full of Vila
ulggor-head tobacco smoke and I cannot
brcatho in such nir "
I calmed the youth down and pormlttod
him to spend the time while his room was
ventilating in my quarters
It was manv years nf terwards , when hur
rying from Dubuque to Washington in re
sponse to n notification ot my appointment to
tha cabinet , tbnt I wired Don Cameron at
Harrisburg , Pa , that I would pass through
that city In the years which had elapsed ,
the redheaded boy had become a senator
from Pennsylvania , whllo his tormentor ,
who had developed into an active politician ,
had more than once locked horns with a
Cameron to his own discomfiture A short
ttmo previous to my arrival at Harrisburg
the Hon , Mr Evorhart hud boon tremendously -
ously bc.iton in n political conflict ever
which the Hag of the Camcrons floated in
triumph When I reached the depot t found
Don Cameron waiting for me Wo walked
up and down the platform and discussed col
lcgo dnySf
You remember , Don , " I said , the night
that Evorhart smoked you out of your room
nnd you came into mine lor rollof J"
" 1 should say I did , " rcniarucd Cameron ,
"nnd remember it very distinctly t03. ' "
What has become of Evorhart ! " tasked
' O , " laughed Don , "I have smoked him
out now "
"I once sat down " said General Belknap ,
"to a rather interesting littto dinner party
of my own giving hero in this city When I
made up my mind to study law I broached
the matter to n friend of mlno in the west
Ha sympathized with me und my aspirations
nnd at once took mo mound to tha ofllco of a
prominent lawyer , who was a friend of bis ,
und with whom very satisfactory and liberal
urransjemonti were made for my reception
ns a student I afterwards , wbon I was sec
retary of war in the davs when old Welkers
was pur excellence the best In the city ,
gathered around mo five gentloracn and
their wives When the dinner was ' nearly
ever I arose and stated what I have just stated
to you with reference to tha ybung man who
sought to enter the bar , and said :
Singular as it may seem , 1 see around me
tonight the gcntlomc l who kindly took up
that boys caU30 , the lawyer in whoso ofllco
ho began his studies , the counsellor who
moved his admission to the bar and the Judgq
who presided when ho was sworn in
Judge Miller of Dubuquo.now perhaps the
ablest member of the suuromo court , moved
my admission and Judge Lova of Iowa sat on
tbe bench on that occasion , It was a most
interesting occasion forme , I can assure you ,
and I doubt whether any other lawyer has
had the soma pleasure that I experienced in
gathering around mo all the parties who
contributed at tbe critical siago to his ad
vancement "
I mot J ustico Miller of the supreme court
the other dav The judge is in the most
robust health , nil reports to the lonlrury not
withstanding He laughed heartily wbon i
mentioned to him the rumors that bo pro
posed rotlrlng and indicated that his mind
was far from made up in that direction Ho
does as much work now us ho over did His
clear logical mind works with nil its accus
tomed ease and certainty and his interest in
events is us absorbing as over By general
consent Justlco Miliar Is admlttod to bo the
ablest expounder of the constitution of tbo
suuromo court
"Whntover is done about removing the su
premo court from its present chambers , "
said Judge Miller , some measuio should betaken
taken at once by congress to provide In the
near future for sultablo accommodations for
tbo supreme court and its officers , und for
the grouping together in ono building of tbo
department of justice and the court There
is a good deal of unnecessary delay from the
distance which now soparatcs the various
portions of the department of justice
Whether or not tbo government should erect ,
assuggostcd , an imposing building opposite
the capitol nnd near tbo congressional
library is something for congicss to determ
ine , but thay should certainly make arrange
ments to , do away as sooa ns pcsslhlo with
the present \ery unsatisfactory condition of
affairs " PkuuvS Hevth

A REMARKABLE TRIP
Description nf the Voynco of the
United EtutoB Squadron
New Yonic , Jan 5. The Associated press
correspondent on board the United States
stoumship Atlanta , in a letter from Lisbon
describes the experiences of the squadron
in its trip across the Atlantic Referring to
the dropping behind of tbe Yorktown he
says : .At 8 pm , on the IStb , In the height
of a , furious southwesterly gale and
a tremendous sea tha commander of
the Yorktown made signals to the flag
ship requesting permission to "hcavo to , "
which was granted From that tiulo the
Yorktown dropped astern The action of
her commander is no moro than could have
boon expected The Yorktown is a compar
atively light ship , carrying a very
heavy buttery Thus it would have
been the height of folly to have
kept a vessel of her peculiar design
running before such a heavy sea Had one
ot the monstrous combs which from tima to
time rolled ever the Atlanta's and Boston's
sterns ever plunged on the Yorktown's
mam deck It would have gutted her fore and
aft During the night and all the next day
the sea ran mountain high , " but the At
lanta , in spite of her low fore and
after parts , rode it like a duck ,
as did also her sister ship , tbo
Boston Nothing could moro forcibly con
vey to the mind tbo fury ot the Atlantic
thnn the sight of tboso hugo cruisers tossed
Ilka the tiniest of playthings by tbe sea ,
Scudding under reefed fore and maintop
sails and fore sail , burrylpg the muzzles of
tholr guns under water at every roll it
seemed lucrudiblo that their canvas
would Btaud or that they could
long continue to run before
such a sea No thought of lying to , " how
ever , suggested itself to the mind of Admiral
Walker The Chicago rolled on and ou , nnd
the two gallant brigs fallowed oven if they
did occasionally hldo their entire fore and
after parts under the greeu seas On the
morning of the Mth tbo wind lulled con
siderably , but before night toll it blew with
renewed violence At 0 a. m. on
the 15th the Boston made signals tha her
boilers needed ropalrs and tbo Chicago aud
Atlanta slowed down until the repairs were
completed Fog , heavy rain and u , nasty ,
choppy sea were tbe principal features of tbo
remainder of tbo voiago
A set of more seaworthy vessels never
put to son During tno entire run and in
the face ot exceptionally bad weather they
maintained at halt power an average Booed
of over nine knots an hour It was a re
markable performance and it is safe to say
ono that has never been equalled by any
squadron

cause of numerous-falls und accidents of a
serious nature Horses sllppod along la an
uncertain manner , many going down ; men ,
women and chlldronipickod tholr way along
carefully In the mtddlo of the streets This
state of affairs Caused considornblo merri
ment Saturday night1 , the streets resounding
with cries of Down as some unfortunate
sat down with moro celerity than grace
Some of thesa falls were productive ot
nothing moro than , a general shaking up ,
while others left reminders in the way of
broken limbs or aqhTng heads enlarged by
bumps
Elias Glsb , one of tbo attendants at Drexel
& Mauls undertaking establishment , while
returning from breakfast yesterday morning ,
slipped at the corncrlof Sixteenth and Dodge
Streets ' and broke bis right wrist He did
not discover that his wrist was broken until
after bo had returned to the ofllco It was
at once attended to ' uud is doing nlcoly , but
it will probably be some time before he will
recover the use of Tils arm
The Walnut Hill and Sherman avenue
motor lines experienced , some difficulty on
the first trips yesterday morning on account
of tbe coating o'f lco on tbe trolley wlro'aud
on the rails Tbo former prevented a good
contact , " thereby Interfering with the
motive power ot the currant , whllo the ice
on the rails made it almost impossible to
climb even a slisht grade After one or two
trips , however , tbo ice was melted and no
further difficulty was encountered
The difficulty on the Twenty-fourth and
Lcavenwartb street lines was moro
serious The system in usa on
this line differs from that of the
Mercer lines Among other things ,
tbe dynamos under the motor cars are
arranged differently When tbo brakes were
sot they caused snow to fly from the wheels
nnd collect on tbe commutators ot tbo
dynamos , and the starting of the car and
passage of the current molted the snow ,
which froze again , covering the machinery
with ice Tbo cars were taken into the
power bouse and a shield arranged over the
commutators to protect them from the snow
Three cars were thus provided and put on
tbe road The rest are being fitted In the
same way , and all will bo running today
The trail cars were taken off , as the road
was in such bad condition that the
trains could not make schedule ttmo
Tbe patronage ot tbo Twoaticth street
cable line was visibly increased , the passengers -
gors preferring to walk oyor to It rather
than wait for the motor cars

That portion north of the Niobrara
rIver is a part of the Sioux reservation
open to BOttlcniont anil contains 700,001) )
acres It Is a flno body ol agricultural
land , well watered and absolutely free
from any abjcctionablo fcaturos The
Ponca upd Koja Paha rivers are the
priuclpui streams within this strip
There i no locality in the state
moro abundantly watered than is this
And this water , too , is of the best qual
ity , consisting mainly of spring water
and numerous streams supplied by
springs Ot thceo strcntns the Bav.ilo ,
Verdigris and Ponca are the largest
and most important The main branch
ot the Bnzilo has its source in Antc-
lope county , lying on the south of Knox ,
and ns it flows north toward the Mis
souri river it is joined by two other
largo branches having tholr sources in
thu eastern part of this county , aud
flowing a nortwastorly direction The
B.tzilo empties into the Missouri river
four railos east of Niobrara , and from its
mouth back thirty miles it is a clear ,
swift running stream of a good volume
of water , having three flouring mills to
ward itB source and affording sites for
many moro
The Verdigris omptics into the Nio
brara river three miles southwest of
Niobrara , is about forty miles in length ,
has its main source in the northern part
of Antelope county , and is composed of
three large branches , two rising in the
eastern portion of Holt county and
flowing in a northeasterly direction
into the main stream This is a laigor
stream than the Brazilo , of clear , swift ,
running water , and also affords numerous
ous excellent mill sites
The Ponca has its source in the unor
ganized torrity north of the Nebraska
state line , but running through nearly
the entire portion of the reservation in
Nebraska , is about sovonty-flve miles in
length and empties into the Missouri
river throe miles west of Niobrara It
affords excellent mill sites and its val
ley Is a most beautiful ono
Two branches of the West Bow ,
Beaver and ono or two ether small
crooks of Cedar county , on the east of
this , have tholr sources in ; and flow for
some distauce through this county
There are numerous ether small streams
flowing into the Niobrara and the Mis
souri _ nnd the crooks and branches al-
rcadyuiontloned . .
The soil is generally of a blnck.sandy
loom and averaging about four feet in
depth In the valleys it is much dcopor ,
and nn some of the hills there is more
or loss clay Beneath the soil there is
generally found a stratum of sand , and
beneath this the chalk rock The
depth of the clay and sand varies some
what , hut generally is about twenty
feet This peculiar formation of the
soil makes it very desirable for agri
cultural purposes ; there is sand enough
to enable it to nbsorb a great deal of
rain , nnd the depth from the surface
to the chalk rock is so great ,
and tbe sand just above the chalk rock
tilled with innumerable ) springs and
tiny veins , sends up its molsturo to the
soil on the surface above during a scar
city of rain , so that a destruction of
crop3 and vegetation by drought is un
known and believed to bo an impossi
bility in this and adjacent counties
Chalk rock probably underlies the
the whole county It can bo seen crop
ping out along the bluffs of the Missouri
and Niobrara rivorsin the bottoms and
occasionally along the banks of the
Bnzilo and Verdigris , nnd in the deep
cst ravines that are found near the two
rivers A few lodges of limestone exist
in different parts ot the county , the
most extensive ones being found on the
Verdigris , southwest of Niobrarawhich
are now being worked with profit A
great many limestone and granite
boulders are found scattered on the
bluffs and some places on the level
prairie These are drifts brought hero
from the mountains and north of us
during the glacial period Geologists
have found Knox county an interesting
Held for research , the professor of
geology at Oberlln college having
traced from New Jersey to the mouth
of the Verdigris the shores of the driit
The manufacturing interests of Knox
county are becoming qutto extensive ,
uud the qxcollont advantages offered by
the numerous water powers on the Verdigris
digris and Bazllo creeks are being oc
cupied by cnsorprtslng capitalists The
most extensive milling privileges thus
far uro at Ba/lto Mills , where two largo
mills nro in process , Other grist
mills ara to bo found at Creighton ,
Verdigris Bridge , Walnut Grove and
other points Throe creameries in
different parts of the county do a good
buslnoss An extensive pork packing
establishment , capacity of 100 hogs per
day ; a browrery , capacity 1,000 gallons
per day , and a canning establishment
are locuted at Niobrura
While Knox county has been con
sidered somewhat north of the center
of the great corn-growing belt that runs
from cast to west across our republic ,
time has demonstrated thut wo are by
no means out of it Froqueutly forty to
fifty bushels of corn uro ralsod per aero
the same year that the wild prairie is
broken On old ploughing sovonty-flvo
to one hundred bushels are often grown
Oats , wheat , barley , rye and flax grow
ns well und yield as beautifully as in
any place that can bo found throughout
the country But the unusual and
wonderful productions of this locality
nro to he found among the vegetables
and roots The deep rich porous soil
scums to have bcon made on purpose tot
the production of roots , und the enso
with which they are grown as well as
the enormous ei/.o they attain , aud their
puporior quality constitute the wonder
nnd delight of ull new comers into these
parts
Tame Brasses have been found to do
ns well hero as iu any place The
ubundanca and excellent quality of the
wild grnssos , however , render it impos
sible to even think of the tame grasses ,
much less to go to the trouble of raising
them The grasses found hero are ex
ceedingly nutriclous und onton with
much relish by all kinds of stock Stock
raising is exceedingly prolltablo
in this county at present The
abundant supply ot the best of epring
water , the great amount and exceliout
quality of the natural grasses , growing
mi they do in extensive ranges , together
with natural locations for barm , sheds
and all kinds of protection for stock
