Absolutely llurt1nr Proof.
The finest safe nnd uionov chest ever seen
In the city has Just been placed In the vault
of the Kimball-Champ Investment ; company.
It Is absolutely burglar proof , and Is so much
of au improvement ever the ordinary safe
that It is a novelty , and therefore an object
of unusual Interest. It is a very handsome
_ nffalr ami weighs 5,000 pounds. It _ is 5H
inches high , 20 inches wide and has two
compartments. The upper compartment is
guarded by a heavy llvo llguro combination
leek and Is stronger than the ordinary safe.
The grcut feature of this safe , however , is
the door of the lower compartment , or
money chest , which Is circular in ahupo nnd
screws Into tbo safe us a bolt goes Into a
burr , n nil Is then fastened by n double tlmo
lock , controlled by a Howard movement of
tbo finest mechanism. Both sato and doors
are constructed of eight thicknesses of one-
half Inch steel in alternate layers of Broolc-
lyn chroma and Bessemer steel. The lock is
a double ono of the Moslor automatic pat
tern. The locking dovlca connected with
this time lock Is u heavy lug or key auto
matically thrown Into the Jamb or released
by the tlmo lock and effectually
guarded against any surface explos
ion by means of n dormant lock.
Tbo door Is furnished with u geared pres
ume dovlco for opening nnd closing , and the
simple turning of u crank screws the door
into place. Tno clock work Is all on the in *
Bldo of the door , and is In no way connected
with the outside of the door , from which It is
separated by several thicknesses of solid
steel. In fact , there Is no way of opening
the safe If the clock runs down while the
door is closed. In which case It would require
exports several days to open It. An outsldo
combination furnishes the day lock. If the
outer layers were blown entirely away ,
thcro would bo nothing lett on which to op-
erai o.
The safe is so much of n novelty and works
so nicely that it excited the admiration of
several of the business men of the city who
were yesterday invited to examine It. The
clock , which Is double , works either indi
vidually or In combination , so that If ono
gets out of order , tbo other will do the work.
It needs winding butonco In ton days. The
lock In oil respects Is simply wonderful , nnd
u'l that It needs to mnho It proof against
burglars for tlmo and eternity is to attach a
little perpetual motion to keep ttio clock
wound. It la well worthy of oaroful Hi-
inspection.

1'rtvurlntr a Creamery. "
The following Is the report ot the board of
trade committee appointed to investigate the
proposed union creamery for this city and
Omaha : ,
Tbo undersigned committee to whom was
referred the project for the formation of a
stock company to build and operate n centri
fugal separator creamery of the most 1m
proved pattern would respectfully report
that wo have glvon the matter careful con
sideration and have visited the separator
creameries now In successful operation nt
Unawn and California Junction to got nn Idea
of the practical workings of the system ,
llicro U no question but that this method of
Bcimrntinff the cream from the milk by ten-
ti if ugal force Is much superior to the old
way of setting the milk to * raise the cream ,
because- not only produces much moro but
ter from the same milk , but the butter * ob
tnlncd Ii ol n much bolter quality nnd flavor
nnd commands n price in tlipNcw York mar
ket fully equal to the cclobratcd Klgln
brand. ' 1 his point presents cqrtiln ad van
tages for the prolHublo operation of such n
factory not found In the interior of the state
where they appear to pay.
The vnst number of rows In the country
adjacent to us , which , ns tbolr product Is
now handled , do not pay ; the centering of
tbo various railroad lines hero by which
milk can bo shipped In from every direction ,
the largo population of tbo two cltlon which
Insures a good homo market not only for n
large part of the butter Inanufactured.but also
for the skim milk nnd the butter mlllcwhich
Iii country creameries is practically waited
are BOtno of tbo moro Important of thcso
peculiar advantages.
Wo have arrived at the following conclu
sions ; *
1. That n first-class centrifugal separator
creamery , so located ns to supp'y both Coun
cil UlufTs and Omaha , properly conduStod
will bo a Riifo and paying investment to the
stockholders.
3. That such a factory that would supply
our citizens at nil seasons of the year with u
uniform quality of "gllt-odgcd" fresh butter
would be n boon to our people.
U. 'That a good butter factory would bo a
great benefit to our farming community , by
making their milch cows pay , nnd thereby
leading them Into improving their stock.
4. That the plant proposed to bo put In
by Davis & Kan It In is first-class in every
particular , and the price charged therefor is
fair and reasonable.
C. As nn earnest of the sincerity of
our convictions , wo bavo each of us HUb-
scribed for stock in the factory nnd wo earn
estly recommend the cltl/ens nnd business
men of Council 131ulTsxund Omaha to Join
with us ns promptly as possible to the end
that the proposed factory may bo put In op
eration at the earliest practicable day.

A Ijcttor From Ohina.
The following is part of a letter received
by .f. Mueller of the Mueller Music Co.'from
bis daughter. Mrs. Dr. Simons , .and refers
to a beautiful liar dm an upright piano
shipped to hor. Dr. Simons Is consul gen
eral for the United States of America nt
IIongKtmg , China , appointed to that posi
tion by President Harrison :
Hoxo KONO , Fob. 13 , 1S90. My Dear
Papa : My piano came on the last steamer ,
and Is a splendid instrument. 1 had a music
man como up and unbox it nnd bring It Into
the houso. Ho w.ts very much pleased with it
and found it quito up to the con
cert pitch und In perfect tune , so
that it came in excellent condition
all the way from New York , although
It was not done up in waterproof. Tlio
Irolght was Just $100. The case is solid ma
hogany and beautifully finished , so wo fool
wo ware WHO to send ns wo did. Ouo sees
only English nnd German pianos out bore ,
and mlno looks like a house compared to tlio
little uprights in uso. And they uo not wear
well. At , the end of four years they are tln-
panny and sound dreadfully.
"I think ours will stand thocllmato as well
as anyof thu grands thut have bcon sent out ,
and then when we leave wo shall bo able to
sell it ior a good price. Hong Kong m the
winter is the gayest of gay places. "
INDIANS AND WHISKEY.
The jNoblo Itod Mnn Invests a Dad
Habit with Good Points.
They will drmIc whiskey and what
Indian will not ? but even in this they
pusorvo iiiiuuiou unu uoirrco 01
decency that white tonci'd would do well
to imitate , says Kirk Monroe in the
March Scrlbner.Vhun u bund or
family docldo to got drunk they send to
the nearest market for one or more pal-
Ions of liquor. In spite of the law for-
hidding the .sale of intoxicants to In
dians they nave no dilllculty in llndiiifr
white agents willing to procure the stuff
for them. It is indeed stuff , and that oT
the vilest character , though for it the
Indians are made to pay nt least double
the price of the best quality ; but what
frontier trader regards it us anything
but meritorious to cheat a rodskinV
With the liquor in their possession
the Indians retire to some remote spot
where their orgies will not ho witnessed
by any pave themselves , and deliber
ately prepare for their snroo. * They
first sot aside a share of the "fire wntor"
for the squaws , who will not touch a
drop of it until their lords have finished
their debauch. All guns , knives ,
and other weapons are then placed in
cluirgo of the squaws , or , if there are no
women in the party , they are delivered
to ono of the men , for whom a certain
amount of liquor is reserved. While
the rest are drunk this guardian of the
ponce must remain spbbr and kconly
watchful of tlio actions ot his compan
ions. Should heprovo unfaithful loins
trust ho will bo exiled from the tribe ,
nnd no Indian will hold communication
with him ( or the term of months or
years during which his exile is enforced.
While the debauch of his companion
lasts ho is absolute master of the situa
tion , and is ut liberty to use any amount
of force , oven to the taking of life , to
repel an attempt to retrain possession of
the weapons. If these are left with
squnwa the same rule holds good for
them.
The preparations being thus completed
'
pleted , tliu'Tndimis , using one small tin
cup , which is impartially handed from
one to another , proceed to got solemnly ,
funnily , furiously , and stupidly drunk.
The next day it is the turn of the
squaws or of the man who has stood
guard , and they , too , taste the joys and
sorrows of coniplo intoxication.
Don't ' forgot , the flnostclcanost , bast mar-
marltot In the twin cities Is Morchoudorf's.

Amelia Rlvos Chanlor seems lo bo
vanishing from the publio ga/.o , but
perhaps she is preparing the kindling
wood for another literary blaze that will
set the chimney of criticism on fire.
Whatever she i doing wo must wait
for , writes a Washington correspondent
of the Now York World.
In the moan time her sister Gertrude
Is creeping into fame. She is rather
walking In , as her dainty foot literally
brought tier to the threshold of litera
ture. The story is ns follows and wns
told by lioNolf : "I had long wanted tv
pair of riding bouts , hue they seemed a
very unsuccessful luxury , and BO I had
almost despaired of ever having my
wish gratified. However , I got thorn ,
and ono morning us I was mounting for
u.good long cantor through the woods u
[ Hand of mine standing near mo no
ticed them and severely reproved mo
for my extravagance. I could keep my
iccrot no longer , as to how these boots
cocaine mine , so I told her ns I do you ,
liow I , despairing ono evening , still
longing for the dour boots , sat down to
ny desk and scratched off some poetical
luos and sent them to n well-known
magazlvo. I received shortly n check ,
.ho si/.o of whion. covered the expense
of my long-covntod boots and several
additional wants. "
I hoard that this explanation of her
extravagance was accepted , and no ono
grudges her the pleasure , for it is said
, liat a prettier foot never graced a
stirrup.

throw in Hovoral mayors nnd ouo or two
church deacons to keep that side from flying
up and bitting the beam , the little men
weighing more thair'all. Such little men are
really worth more to the city than piles of
bricic and mortar'and ' arc really better citi
/ens thanmuuy who uro bigger und we.ir
longer titles. V'd rather hnvo one such lltllo
man than a union depot , that Is , If I was a

men , little and big , were made of that kind
of stuff It would bo long before Council

from his hack , grasp the grip of a
stranger and nt the same time call him by
name , saying , "How do you do , Mr. Jones
( or whoever he mieht bo named ) ; don't you
want to ndo up ! " The fellow , who perhaps
was heading for a street , car , or intending to
walk up Uroadwny , would smile , evidently
pleased at being of so much importance as
to bo remembered by ahackmnn in a strange
city , ami in it minute "Doc" would have
secured him. While other hackmoa would
drlvonwaycmptythatisthelrhacks ( would be
empty ) "Doo" was always lucky. The other
day the policeman was 'julziing "Doc" about
this. "How does it como 'Doc' that you
know no many ot these traveling men I"
"That's of bus'noss ' "

"Doc. " "I don't know those men nny hotter -
tor than you do , except that I know their

names of travelling men and others who

don't ask or try to remember anything else
about them , that is as to their business or
anything of that sort. When I haul a follower

RUSSIA'S SIBERIAN RAILROAD.
Ono of the Most Stupendous liulcr-
lirlscR -Modern Time ? .
There has boon tv grout deal of specu
lation about the plans and prospects of
11 railroad across Siberia aloup the Clit-
ncsTc border , says tlio San Francisco
Bulletin. It is as good as settled that
the Russian government , will prosecute
ttiis great work to completion. The
estimated cost is $200,000,000 , or about
as much as has boon sunk in the Pana-
ma.canal. The railroad cor.nectinsr St.
Petersburg , Moscow and Novgorod is
about 600 mile ? long and will constitute
a link of the grout Siberian railway.
From the latter city to Vladivostok is
something loss than 4f)00 miles hy the
sledge route in winter and by the cani-
vnn route of summer. It has been for
mally announced that the Russian gov
ernment will begin work on this road
early in the sping.
The quofation has frequently been
raised whether the Siberian railroad
was to bo constructed for military or
commercial purposes. There is hardly
a doubt that it is to bo constructed for
both. Siberia is not altogether a bar
ren and desolate country. It has much
fertile land , valuable mines , and there
is enough timber for ordinary use. Nov
gored at ono time drew an immense
amount of golct and silver from Siberia.
It is related that when Ivan III. had
conquered that city in 14bO ho bent 300
chariots laden with silver and gold to
Moscow. But the former city now has
hardly moro than 2o,000. It is.howovor ,
the chosen site for the great fairs , at
which all the products of Siberia are
represented , and the merchants and
traders visit the fair from the valleys of
the Amour river and from the contigu
ous parts of China. . All the tea con
sumed by Russia takes the overland
route across Siberia. The Russians are
a nation of tea-drinkers. There are a
hundred million of consumers , or would
bo , if they coula all bo supplied with
tea.
tea.Tho
The country about portions of tlio
great Amoor river is so attractive that
thousands of Chinese have Hocked
there. They cross the line , invade the
rich mines , take possession of the fer
tile valleys , establish trading pests , and
crowd the Russians. Inbhorttho Amoor
river is the nominal boundary between
a nation of about a hundred millions ol
people on ono side and 1550,000,000 on
the other. Two great empires meet
and touch along this lino. Russia is
menaced and so id China. There are
still unsettled disputes about boundar
ies. There was a time wTion the Chin
ese claimed and- actually occupied , a
largo territory beyond the Amoor
river. They have been crowded back
until they nnw face the Russians along
the margin ot this eroat waterway.
The Chinese minister at Washington
has expressed the opinion that if Rus
sia IB to bmld a railroad across Siberia
to the Amoor the Chinese government
will build from Poking -or some other
lnrgo city up to that river or to the
boundary line as a defensive measure.
This is the military view. By the aid
of railroads both governments could
rapidly mass great military forces along
the boundary. Every great railroad is
ivaiUiblo both for military and com'
morcial purposes. The first railroad
across the American continent was
originally a concession for military pur
poses. But the military character was
soon obscured by iia more important
commercial use. It is not at all proba-
that Russia contemplates building -1,600
miles of railway for military purposes
alone , although that may bo an Impor
tant consideration. The line of a great
commercial highway have long been
marked along the course pursued by the
Amoor. The volume of busincs has
boon constantly increasing. It is true
that Russia contemplates enlarging the
naval depot at Vladivostok , which is to
bo the Pacific terminus o ! the railroad.
But why not , since China within a few
years has established a great depot and
collected a Hoot of powerful warships
within n thousand miles ol tills Russian
port ? Since it is the order of the day
to create great war Hoots , and since
China , the last of the nations to go into
that business , has bcon buying ships
and creating them at homo , Russia will
augment the licet thut will rendezvous
at her great port on the Pacific.
But such attention to the military
situation is not inconsistent with the
growing interest of commerce. Russia
has long cherished the plan of turning
as much of the European commerce
with China as possible across this great
northern ever and route. The prize in
worth tlio contest. Tlio rivalry of rail
way building just now is moro in the
interests of peace than war. A rail
road from the capital of Russia to tlio
capital of China would bo ono of the
most stupendous enterprises of modern
times. So far ns China is concerned her
policy is onlv dimly outlined. But once
a railroad is'built across Siberia to the
llocigc , it will bo only n question of
tlmo when some power , or some interest ,
will open railway communication be
tween this line and sonio great trade
center in China. Five years is the tlmo
allowed to build the Siberian railway.
The completion of such a work can
hardly fall to mark the beginning of u
now era of the development und civili
zation of Central Asia.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Kvniinratlon if ) Yulcnr.
Almost everything wo use has some
touch of decoration about it , however
slight , before it is complete , and if these
touches are not in good taste the thing ,
as a decoration , is valueless. It is not
easy to designate how muclror how little
wo should decorate , but it is safe to say
that the tendency is to overdo rather
than to underdo It. The former is vul
gar , the latter gives a sense of meagre-
ness and desolation , says the Philadel
phia Record. The happy condition of
having everything of the very best , se
lected and worked out by capable crafts
men , is possible only to the few ; the
great majority must bo satislled with
articles of less intrinsic value and must
rely upon their own judgment as to the
fitness of the things they are able to
procure , in these days , however , when
machinery turns out such beautiful
fabrics in such profusion that they are
within the roach of the million , there
would seem to bo small reason why ono
should not be able to get the things
that are exactly fitted to one's
requirements. Wo have artib-
tie papers for our walls , ar
tistic rugs and carpets for our floors ,
artistic cretonnes and damasks and bro
cades for our hangings , and artistic
glass and pottery for our tables , which ,
while they do not perhaps meet the un
qualified approval of the theoretical ar
tist , need not bo less olleotivo and de-
coratfvo than the choicest prodnctioiid
of the hand-looms.
it is true me modern decorator has
much to contend with in u modern house ,
which is rarely of biich a character ns to
lend itself readily to high art in the
matter of furnishing ; but even with
those much may be done to tone down
their bad points and bring out their
good ones.
Mr. William Morris , on a work on
' 'Domestic Art. " which iu reviewed in
the Woman's World , considers wall
papers at best but a makeshift for fresco
painting ; but no ono will deny that
they are very beautiful makeshifts , [ n
choosing papers a pattern of a lighter
upon one of a darker shadqis one of the
best , being simple , restful and satisfy
ing. These papers are the first remove
from monochrome , and should bo either
light or very subdued in tone ,
never very dark. The re
lief must como from the hangings
nad other decorations. A designs
in two shades of terra cotta with not
much difference in shade is good ; in
blue a wider variation in tone is per-
missablo ; green comes between blue
and red. When a certain depth is nec
essary to the design a third sha.de may
enter in with much effect. Tho. color
of the paper must bo contingent upon
the location of the room , upon its uses ,
and , unless the furnishings are , too , re
newed with the paper , upon tholr color
and character. But in every cabo the
pattern of the paper should bo simple ,
meanwhile possessing a certain amount
of mystery , A multiplication of any
realistic design is wearisome , and too
intricate is quite as unpleasant.
Mr. Morris give ? also borne admirable
suggestions as to hanging wall papers.
If the room is small and not high , or
the wall much broken by pictures or
tall pieces of furniture it should not be
divided horizontally ; paper it with ono
pattern and ono tint only ; if the room
is largo or fair size , a dado of four fcot
in height and frieze running around
the top will look woll. The use of two
papers is not advised unless the pattern
is very significant , and it is hud down
as a safe rule in wall decoration to put
nothing that attracts the eye moro
than uignt fcot from the floor. Mr.
Morris tinds papered ceilings miggos-
tivo of living in a bandbox , and sug
gests tinting them flatly in harmony
with paper and wood work.
A Sunday Hionkfiint.
Many honskcopars , especially these
who do their own wgrk , are often puz-
y.lod ns to what they shall have for
breakfast on Sunday morning. Tlujro
nro many reasons why the morning
meal on this day should ho easily and
quickly prepared , and yet bo palatable
and plentiful , says the New Jersey
Agriculturist. In the majority of fam
ilies the llrst'roason is that the head of
the hou.so , tired out with the week's
work , likes to indulge in an extra nap ,
and consequently the family arise much
later than on other days , and the
housewife is often at her ' 'wlts-onds" to
know how to got through her Sunday
morning's work in tlmo for mooting.
In Now Knglr.nd the Sunday break
fast usually consists of baked bcaiib and
brown bread , a combination which ,
when properly cooked , will bo found to
bo both palatable and wholesome , and
besides has tlio merit of being easily
and quickly prepared. Bulow wo give
the recipes for the benefit of these who
deslro to try them.
Baked Beans. Take 1 quart small
whlto beans , 1 Ik salt pork. 1 teaspoonful -
spoonful salt and a tiiblespoonful of mo
lasses. Parboil the beans until thoukln
bursts ; drain and place in an earthen
bcnn pot. Score the pork and place on
top of the bouns , add salt und molasses ,
and enough warm water to nearly fill
tbo pot ; cover tightly and balco in a
moderate oven ever night. The beans
will bo hot and smoking , ready for
breakfast in the morning.
Brown Bread. 1 cup yeast , 0 pota
toes , mashed with 8 cups of flour , ii tn-
blespoonsful lard , 1 quart warm water ,
2 tablcsDODtisful brown su > | ar. Bent
thoroughly nnd lotrlso llvo hours ; until
light. Slit 12 quarts of Indian inonl , I
quart rye Hour , 1 teaspoonful salt , 1
toaspootiful soda ; mix up very soft with'
risen sponge , adding gradually J teacupful -
cupful molasses. Knead and rise six
hours ; knead again , put in deep , round
pans , rise ono hour and bake in moder
ate oven four hours.
Color.lor Itoomt.
The selection of colors /or / room dec
oration should bo made with euro. Yel
low , except of a golden tone , should not
bo used unless very much broken
or mingled wltn other colors , says the
Philadelphia Record. The bright
daffodil nnd primrose hues nro not
effective In distemper painting or iu
dull materials , but are lovely in glis
tening fabrics. Rod is a dllllcult color
to treat , nnd should bo ( loop and full , n
crimson tending toward russet Is a good
color. Pink nnould Incline to orange ;
green should bo grayish or in clear ,
pure shades , never yellowish ; blue Is a
color in which bright shades iiiav bo
used or pure , pnlo blue , but if it Inullnos
to rod It at once becomes cold , nnd if
groan predominates it IH too strong.
Pnlo yellowish-brown and pnlo copper
tints are valuable and have the
advantage of harmonizing well with
most hangings , carpets and furniture.
The woodwork , if paintedshould as a
rule bo the same color as the walls , but
a shade or two darker in tint. Dark
woodwork does not look well , unless the
decoration of the room is very bright.
The same rule may bo applied lo
floors ( which wo assume nro covered
Gartly with rugs. ) Parquet floors should
e of ono kind of wood only , the necessary -
sary variety being produced by pattern.
Plain quartered oak floors are
the choice , par excellence , for
living-rooms , mosaic of tile or
marble for bath-rooms and halls.
