main a treasure in the family for generations.
It was a IKX-III of ten stnnrna eom | > osed by him

form of a llttlo volume of twenty pages with

Tlio Union Depot.
President Miller of the Chicago , Milwau
kee & St. Paul railway imived in the city-
yesterday morning In his special car , and
spent the day with the members of tlio depot
company looking over the ground for tlio pro
posed building. During the afternoon ho
went over to Omaha and had a conference
with the Union Paciilc and Northwestern of
ficials concerning the matter , and the whole
patty returned to the city and made another
examination of the grounds.
President Miller was very favorably im
pressed with the location , and indicated the
fact that the Milwaukee would not bo back
ward in pushing the ontcrpiiso through to a
successful termination. A conference was
held yesterday afternoon , but the conclusions
arrived at were not made public and proba
bly will not bo imparted to the members of
the depot company until today.
It is known that the Northwestern people
aio not altogether satisfied with the arrange
ments made for running their trains into the
now depot , which require them to back in on
the north side. They will not consent to do
this , as it will put them to a disadvantage ,
and interfeio with the oix-ration of their
trains. They have determined to ask for the
condemnation of another block of lots on the
west of the site that will enable them to lay
the necessary curve to run up on the front
and.south side of the depot. They will only
ask the depot company to assist in procuring
tlio right-of-way and will pay all expenses.
The block asked for Is nearly all owned by
the Council Hlufts canning company and fs
covered by their extensive works. If it is
found to ho necessary tocondomn and remove
these buildings some delay will occur and u
great deal of expense will bo entailed.

A l''lgli < I'oi-ii Pasture.
Monday afternoon then ) was u bloody light
for the privilege of using n little urea of pas
ture lands on the bottoms near the river. The
patch only comprises n few vacant lots be
longing to Paul , the Omaha veal estate man.
Ills not a very green pasture and the most
enterprising cow would have to eat constant
ly and gather In a largo quantity of faith too ,
to fill her sides during the Interval from sun
rise to sunset , but there were two claimants
besides the cows for pilvlleges of getting the
grass. They were Stephen Hertelmeyerwho
lives near by , anil n man named Heed , who
claims to bo tlio agent of Mr. Paul. Hertel-
meyer had l > een in tlio habit of t j ing Ids cow-
on the lots with a long rene and when remon
strated with by Kced said ho hail permission
to do so and was going to continue It. Kccd
demanded a icntal and when this was refused
he forbade the old ( icrnmu to go upon the dis
puted tract. The admonition was not heeded
and the old cow was staked out again. This
led Heed to assault the cow with a club , and
when Ueitelmeyer went to her rescue Heed
turned upon him and felled him to the earth
with the club , severely injuring him.
When the old man recovered sufileientlv ho
came up town and filed information against
Heed charging htm with assault with intent
to kill. He was arrested and spent the night
In Jail , and yesterday morning was before
.ImlgoMKioe. The evidence showed an ag
gravated case of assault and Heed was fined
jllh ) and costs , and In default of payment was
sent to the county jail for thirty days.

A OIC3AXTIO KTATUM.
.V Chinese Tinn e of llnddlia Highly
Feet iu Height.
The rhineso pilgrim b'a-hiou { jives in
tlio sixth chapter of his immitivo u do-
M-ription of a monster inia o of Huddlm ,
which ho tolls us was carved in wood by
a clover- artificer of the kingdom of
T'o-lelh. According1 to Fa-hien , this
artist was Ulrica tukou up to heaven so
that ho might ohsorvo the height , com
plexion , anil appearance of tlio supreme
1'iilor of the Tushita heaven. Authors
who have translated the passage giving
dimensions of thiw collossal figure are
strangely ut variance with each other.
Prof. Ball's translation says : "Tho
height of this wodon monster was eighty
feet , and its upturned foot eight
foot. " Prof. Leggo sayw : "It
( the imago ) is eighty cubits in height
and eight cubits at the base from knee
to knee ol the crossed leirs. " From the
last pontonco it is inferred that the im
ago hits crossed-lcgged in true oriental
btyle. Waters and Oilen , two other
translators of Fa-hien's works , render
the passage describing the imago just as
Prof. Hall does i. o. , eighty feet in
height and the foot eight foot in length.
Hubert K. Douglas of King's college ,
London , thinks all four of these transla
tions wrongly rendered , or else that this
wooden Hudilha is u monster strangely
out of proportion ) * . In proof of this ho
measured a perfectly shaped flreek
statue twonty.Hoven feet high and found
the foot to bo but two feet three-fourths
of an inch in length. According to this ,
a perfectly formed Groolc statue with a
foot eight feet lorg would bo over ono
hundred foot in height , whens this Mny-
troya Dudilhu is but eighty feet to tlio
crown of the head.

No I'rosccutiiiK Attorney.
The case of the s ate against Mrs. Mamio
Brubakcr for assault with intent murder , and
the case against George. Nicholson , her father ,
for assault with intent to kill , were called for
preliminary hearing yesterday and were
continued until Saturday and Thursday after
noons , respectively , at 2 o'clock.
The need of an attorney to represent the
state in South Omaha in impoitnnt criminal
eases -was demonstrated when the two
cases were called. KH II. Doud lias de
cided to look after thu interests of the. state
no more in South Omaha , simply because
it is a thankless as well as an
unrcmuncrntivo task. For an hour the busi
ness of tlio police court was stopped awaiting
some one to appear for the prosecution. By
an energetic use of the telephone County At
torney Mahoney was i cached and came to
South Omaha , and that too , at the sacrifice of
important engagements in the state's interest
in Omaha.
Similar cases are Ilablo to arise in South
Omaha every week. Ilcrctofmo Mr. Doud
has given ids time and legal knowledge to the
state for nothing in South Omaha's police
couit. It might involve n day ormoioof
labor but an appearance for the state on the
preliminary hearing of a criminal ease means' '
no pay whatever from the county.
Itcplcvincd from the Sheriff.
Omaha parties Monday , through Deputy
Sheriff McC'rackon , attached the fixtures In
the saloon on the comer of Twenty-sixth and
N streets belonging to Mrs. Augusta Hanuse.
A bright attorney immediately secured papeis
from.lndgo Levy and Constable Donnelley
replovinod the goods. When ho had per
formed the act ho discoered that it wasn't
jitst the proper caper fora constable to take
attached goods away from the sheriff ; the
coroner must do that. The saloon was run
ning as usual last night.

It in a&MH-ted by friends of Senator
Stewart of Nuvadn that if hi.s absence of
mind could bo cut into htrips and pat-ted
together end to end , it Mould reach
twice around illimitable opaco and tlo in
a double bow knot. Out on the slope
they us-ed to tell a story of how ho was
hastening ? ono morning1 to catch a train ,
when he suddenly stopped and said to
his companion :
"There , by thunder , I'voleftmy M'atch
under my pillow. "
"Let's go back and got it , " said his
friend.
"llolil ' ' the "I
on , replied senator ,
don't believe \vo'll hfivo time1 and ho
drew the watch from his pocket , looked
carefully at the face of it , counted the
momeiitH , and added : "No , MOvoift
have time , " and pressed on toward the
station , saying : "Oh , well , I guess I can
got along for a day without a watch. "
It is also related that Senator Stewart
dressed himself at a hotel ono morning ,
putting his vent on wrong side out , and
in a few minutes presented himself at the
ollico , excitedly rubbing the plaee.s
whore the pockets ought to bo , and com
plaining that lie had been robbed.
It might have been believed that these
tales wore work-s of imagination had not
the senator himself ono day this week
given testimony to their truth. The
clerk of the senate M'an monotonously
calling the roll on some question iii
which Senator Stewart was not inter
ested. The senator sat \vith his olbous
on his desk , his cheeks upon his hands ,
and his eyes lixed upon vacancy , whither
his mind had gone.
"Mr. Stewart , " the clerk called.
There M'as a moment of silence. .Sen
ator Stewart continued to look at noth
ing."Mr.
"Mr. Stewart , " the clerk called again ,
but Mr. Stewart did not hear him.
A brother senator sitting near reached
over and touched him. The light of
consciousness M'as just returning to the
dreamer's eyes \vhou the clerk shouted
once more : "Mr. Sttnvart ! "
"I pass , " said the senator from No-
vadn.
