"Yes , I noticed that myself , " was the reply ,

from tills county will bo vigorously opposed
by the other counties in the district having
candidates. Wo li.ivo hud the oftlco of con
gressman so long that the other counties arc
rcutli to rebel , and I should not he surprised
to see u combine made that would result in
the selection of one of the many avail : bio
candidates outside of I'ottawattnmio county.
It was virtually promised to the outsiders at
the last convention that if they would let us
have the olllce then thev could have the
choice the next time. When 1 was in Oes
Moino.s the other d.iy , 1 saw an influential
republican from one of the other counties in
tills district , and ho s.iiil that there was so
much opposition to allowing Council Bluffs or
I'ottuwuttamio county to send in the next
congressman that ho believed that some of
the voters would rather vote for u dog from
nn outside county than a Pottuwuttamio
county man. From what 1 have seen jind
heard , I am llrinly convinced that candidate. )
from the county will stand no show whatever
In the coming convention. But that h.us
nothing to do with my being out of the race.

Mnnnwa's ojionlnt ? for IS93 yesterday was
very nusiiielou.s In more respects thnn one. A
largo number of visitors Went to the lalco
during the day , nnd nil through the nftcrnoon
the place presented n very unlimited npno.ir-
unee. The motor tmins wuro llhcmlly pat-
ronlml nnd the enrs wcru filled. The houlc-
viird loading to the luUo was lined with car-
ringcM , nnd there was evinced n general dis
position to sco how the hike had passed the
winter , nnd what the proHpeets were for u
lively season during the next six months.
The water was ut i-nthern low stngo , being n
little over two feet lower than hist year , hut
It Is stated that u little work on the dmn is nil
that Is necessary in order to r.itso the water
to as high n stage as desired. The .steamer
"Kescuo" was running joslerdny , hut travel
across the hike was vi-ry light , as there was
no attrnetlonon the south .sido. Manhattan
heae.li looked rather desolate , as the hath
houses that were destroyed hy llro last fall
have not vet been lelmlit. Thu M. r' . Kohrer
is being overhauled and will ho leady for busi
ness in about t wo weultn. The ( J. 1C. Mayno
has been fold bv Captain C. S. Ilubbard to
Chris Helming of Omaha , who will run her
on the river this year. The weather is. yet
too eold for the opening of the hath houses ,
hut they will he ready for patronage in n few
weeks. The boat clubs nro getting down to
work , and llie crews will begin practicing on
the lal.-o now that regular motor service is as
sured between the lake and tlio elty.
Miiyor Kecd had Issued orders for nil sa
loons to close nnd ho maintained u vigilant
w.itch all day to see that his orders were en
forced. The newly appointed marshal , Joseph
1 { . Hell , was on duty in full iiolico uniform
and escorted his club from place to place in n
very active manner. About : l o'clock the first
nnd only raid was made. Tho.victim was the
postmaster , Mr. Knife. His place of business
and tlio postolllce are located close
to the eastern town limits and when
ho was notified early in the day that he
must not sell nnj more Ihiuor during the _ day
ho was at a loss to know what to do with a
fresh keg of beer that had just been placed on
tap. His customers did not leave him long in
doubt , for one of them picked up the keg ,
carried it about ten feet across the town line
nnd helped himself to a drink. Inlets than
ten minutes half of the building had also
been carried across the line and .set over the
keg and business was transacted as before.
Along in the afternoon , ns aforesaid ,
the mayor took counsel with cer
tain members of the town council and
decided that the postmaster was getting alto
gether too g.iy. The patrol wngon was ac
cordingly ordered out that is , u farm wagon
was pressed into service for that purpose
and the mid was made. Keeorder Wright
acted as patrol diiver nnd the marshal en
gineered the business. The postmaster was
captured , and so was : i keg of b-er and a
bottle of whisky , but not xvithoiit strenuous
objections on the part of several would-be
customers whoso tanks wcro not qnito full.
The conliscated liquor was taken to the
mayor's office , but the owner was released on
bail. The .sei/.uro occasioned considerable
incitement. The fact that the dryness was
enforced caused n great deal of hard kicking ,
but it availed nothing. It had been expected
that tin ) opening of Mnnuwu would satis
factorily solve the dilemma occasioned by
dry weather in tlio Blurts , and the disappoint
ment to many parties was very keen. .Several
Omniums were included among the kickers ,
und they swore n voluptuous swear that they
were " ( lone" with the luUo if there was no
uudgo to be had.
Tlio hotel had been advertised to bo open ,
but it was closed as tight as could be , and
and there was no sign of life visible there.
All In nil. thcro was very little to do , nnd less
to sco. The Models and Odells put up u
practice game of ball which attracted a tew
.spectators. The game resulted 0 to f in favor _
of the first named club. Mayor Keed says
that ho is not catering totho bummer clement
nnd cares very little whether they arc .satis-
lied or no } , but ho proposes to run the new
town in an orderly manner , and hopes that
quiet , law abiding citi/ens will appreciate his
efforts and give the lake the jutronngo ho
seeks for it.

The Congregational church had its seating
capacity fully tested yesterday. There were
no services at tlio Presbyterian church , Kev.
Dr. Phelps , the pastor , being in attendance
at tlio presb.vtery Many of his usual audi
tors nttendetl the Congregational church ,
thus increasing the si/e of the usually largo
congregation. Kev. Mr. Crofts gave an ex
cellent sermon from the text : "And Ho Went
on His Way Hejoicing. " IIo reviewed the
Incident of the baptism of the eunuch bv
Philip , as narrated in the eighth chapter of
Acts , llo showed that the Christian religion
tended to make its believers Joyful as well us
active. It was not a doleful or dreamy thing ,
but a happy inspiration.
At Ht. faults Kpl.suop.il church Hov Mr.
Helm preached for the first time in this city.
He is to tiike charge of the mission churches
which have been started as outgrowths of
Hev. Mr. Mackey's aggressive Christianity.
His new co-laborer is heartily welcomed to
this Held , and his Initial sermon Indicated
that he is ono whoso pulpit utterances will
command attention anil exert great Inllucnco.
The Kev. D. C. Franklin , pastor of the
First Methodist church , occupied tlio pulpit
yesterday lor the first time In six weeks.
During the Interval ho has been confined to
his homo by Illness. The announcement that
ho would preach yesterday at the morning
hour filled the church to overflowing , and al
though weak and frail from his long sickness ,
ho preached n powerful sermon from the
sixth verso of the r'tith Psalm : "llo that
goeth forth weeping , bearing precious
seed , shall doubtless eomo again with
rejoicing , bearing his sheaves with him. "
The llguro presented was that of a farmer.
Ills land has brought forth verv poorly. Ho
has saved out of the famine and tlio wants of
lib family a little seed and ho goes forth to
meet conditions and do the work necessary to
ralso the crop. Ho is dos [ > ondent and heavyhearted -
hearted , but no sows his precious seed with
conftdenco ami faith and when his toil is
ended at the close of the season ho rejoices in
n bountiful harvest. The parable of the sewer
anil the seed was presented.
The seed is the truth , the word of CJod.
Everybody , not the ministers alone. Is com
manded to sow the seeds of truth. Theie are
three things to bo taken Into consideration to
make a man efficient us u .sower of the seed of
truth. First , the value of the seed. Second ,
the iniportum-o of proper sowing. Third , the
assurance of a harvest. The word of truth
bus cost muiv than human thought can esti
mate. You must have a conception of ( leth-
.seiiiimo and Calvary to properly measure the
valueof truth.
If the question were nsUed'What Is the
great need of toduy I" wo would not answer , "It
Is moro Intellectual powcr.n e'oarer apprehen
sion of truth , u better definition of theology , '
but the answer must Iw that what Is needed
Is moro heart , moro sympathy. Jn Uunum's
Pilgrim's Progress tno comrunlonb of Chris
tian und Hopeful were ngt Umu Intellect'
uor Great Purse , but Great Heart. Wo ueed
n heart to feel , n mind to think nnd n will to
net. This we will hnvo If wo have u Just es
timate of the vnluo of truth , The encour
agements of this character nre the assurances
of n harvest. Christian effort doe.s not gci
unrewarded. We may not see ) nt once the
fruits of our toll , but the reward Is us sure ns
the minshlno that Is promised by the rainbow.
Thcro riro ns perfect laws that govern the
.spiritual world ns In the material world
First comes the blade nnd then the ear , mill
afterwards the full corn In the car. The as
surance of results , fruits , harvest , stimulate.
to faithful service. "
The pastor then alluded to the happy cus
tom of holding harvest home festivals In the
east , and duscrlbed the scenes that attended
them , nnd with whnjt Joy thev brought the
fruits of the harvest home. If this is true
regarding the earthly harvests , with what
greater Joy ought the Christian to como with
the results of his toll , actual fruit and golden
sheaves.

Hope Tor Vomit ; Women.
Mrs. Mabel Wright Yznaga , the hello of
three seasons , who surprised all Now York
by getting married and departing for Kuropo
with her mlllinnniro husband the day after ,
Is to bo presented to the queen at the next
drawing room in May. Naturally enough ,
observes the New York Mail , this has
caused a commotion among the young girls
with whom the bride so long associated. Fern
n presentation at court means as much today
as It over did , nnd it is still supposed to be
the crowning achievement In woman's life.
Perhaps the most curious part of Mrs.
Y/nnga's matrimonial .venture , and that
which causes most astonishment among all
classes , is tlio fact that she was the only
member of her family who was in society.
Her name ligmed in all the social reports of
the day. She was a welcome guest at all the
big banquets , und at the most exclusive of
the Patriarchs' ball she was queen among
the fair women , yet when it was stated in
print that she was married in n boarding
house and that her mother had been a con
firmed invalid for many years and her father
had never been in society , thcama/ement was
very great. To bo sure the boarding house
was a fashionable one , butiv boarding house is
a boarding house , and other young women
who Imagine Miss Wright Radtng : a life
of sybaritic ease , in a splendid mansion , were
astonished to find that her home life was un
ostentatious and that her circumstances were
no better than thousands of othet women in
New York. This has , at any rate , set at rest
the rumor that only Miss Moneybags can en
ter the society of the four hundred. In the
case of Miss Wright she had nothing but
good looks and a sweet disposition to recom
mend her and now that she is a wife it may
bo said to her credit that she was not chap
eroned by any matchmaker and yet unaided
she managed to catch a husband with a mill
ion and in the future will wield a distinct
power in both New York and London so
ciety. At the same time it must bo remem
bered that she had a prolty face and u beauti
ful form. That was her fortune.

fs it proper and desirable for a woman to
ride a horse man-fashion i An interesting
diseiisssion of this question is now lit prog
ress , both in this country and in England.
The opponenents of the time-honored side
saddle declare it to bo an absurdity , a tyran
nical interference with the natural use of the
lower llmbi in riding , a ridiculous survival of
prudery , an uncomfortable and unsafe seat ,
and , worse than all from the feminine point
of view , an awkward and unlovely arrange
ment which throws the female rider into an
ungraceful pose.
In this country MM. Oelinoss-Mlller and
Miss Jeaness are the chief advocates of the
desirability and propriety of restoring to
women the natural right to ride n
luaso astride ; a right which the
rigid conventions of the civiliml world
would take from her , says the Hoston Globa.
Thu hitler has already had the daring not
only to defend tlu proposal in print , but act
ually to appjar in Central park riding a horse
in the way Unit nature intended it to bo ridden ,
Tlio costume adopted on this occasion was in
vented by her father for the purpose , and she
defends it as being not nvivly as modest as
the riding habit of convention , but much
moro so. The chief : fo itnro is a bifurcated
skirt oC the ordinary "accordion plait" typo ,
capable of expanding almost from Hoston to
Omaha. The divisions fall in graceful and
voluminous folds on each side ot the horse ,
completely concealing these limbs whoso very
existence , or , at any rate , whoso slightes't
suggestion is. in the opinion of many good
people , a Kind of immodesty if their owner
happens to be a woman.
The appearance of Miss .Tcnness on horse
back , whether viewed from the right or from
the left , is , therefore. , much what the appear
ance of any lady would bo if seen on horse
back from the lott or "near'1 side only , in the
regulation costume. Instead of flowing
skirts on ono side only , Miss Jcnness
has them on both sides. She argues tljat if
It is a question of concealing the form , Ijer
costume Is superior to the regulation habit ,
since Unit displays the form with great dis
tinctness from the light sido. And , leaving
aside these considerations , it is obvious that
riding with the legs In a position to grasp the
horse llrndy in cnso of need is a much safer
position than that allowed by the conven
tional side-saddle. If any man doubts it let
him experiment with oiio of the things and
bo convinced. The women of nil savage
tribes ride horses just as a man does , and it
is unquestionable the safer and moro com
fortable position.
We imagine , however , that Miss .Tenness
will have great dilllculty in inducing tlio
women riders of the clvlli/.ed world to follow
her daring example. All the facts and argu
ments are on her side , It Is true ; but conven
tionality in such matters is a terrible thing
when It is set at defiance , and to do so re
quires a kind of courage which few women
possess.

ple all endorse Hurdock Illood Hitters as the

to the Inner lives ot the prominent moil ,
and in the oitso of Jiuncd , Gordon Uon-
nott this curiosity lias heon whetted
iiS'iin ' nnd iiK ln by stf.iy incidents in
his career , but lias novel1 heon sntislled.
Nearly all our national Htntosmon and
politlclatiB are noted autohlographists ,
nnd their lives tire "writ largo" in the
Congressional Kocord and in the news
papers of their respective districts.
Other public men are in no whit behind
hand in this respect , and HO far hits this
'tisto : for personal gossip been carried of
Into years that we may bo wild to hnvo
become u nation ot auloblogniphers ,
each mini blowing1 his own
horn to the best of his ability. Thus
in these autobiographic : ) the crow-roads
schoolhoiiho is always an academy , and
the Mtbjeot is generally the f-eion of
homo noble hoiibo abroad , if the three or
four generations of his forefathers hero
are too ignoble foi' his fancy. Still ,
though the terms used may bo a little
highfalutin , wo generally got sullleient
facts to form an idea of the man , and wo
are balisfled.
.Mr. .Tames Gordon Dennett lias always
avoided the biographer , and bo frag
mentary is the public knowledge of him
that his motives and ambitions form
something of a mystery worthy of an
attempt at solving , says a writer in the
Epoch. Broadly speaking , his hibtory
is the history of the Herald. In the of
fice of this great newspaper Mr. Bennett
received an excellent training during
the lifetime of his father. The latter
had toiled and starved and suffered in
dignities to establish this great prop
erty. If ho had ono great pang in
dying it was to relinquish his control.
Many were the solemn obligations
ho exacted from his son in regard
to it , as ho was passing away ,
and none of these seem to have
been forgotten. Though proud of his
handfaomo heritage , the young man felt
the weight of responsibility it brought to
him. This was shown in a little incident
which occurred shortly after the death
of the founder of the llorald. Mr. Ben
nett , jr. , was in Europe at the time , and
it struck a handful of the Herald men as
a capital idea to prqparo a welcome for
their now ruler. So'they ' hired a tug
and met him down the bay. To their
well planned little speeches Mr. Bennett
had not a word to say ; the expression on
his face was ominous. Not ono of the
party but subsequently felt the weight of
ins displeasure.
Mr. Bennett was at that time one of
the handsomest , most accomplished , and
wealthiest young men in the country ,
lie was courted and'
rL.vrri3itii ) ox ALL SIDES.
Tlis high strung temperament led him
into hoveral excesses ; ho becamoengaged
to Miss May : the engagement was broken
off ; ho fought a duel with her brother ;
he left the country , and has since
almost entirely resided abroad. Being
a man of biieh prominence these youthful
episodes were made much of and from that
day to this have unfortunately formed
the basis of public e&timation of his
character. It is aceepttd as a truism
that the wild , generously impulsive college -
logo student makes the brighter and
better comparison with his laborious ,
book-loving elusMnato , but , singularly
enough. Mr. ' Bennett has never been
given the benefit of this illustration.
People will not concede that ho hassown
his wild oats. O , no , ho is still a profli
gate and a libertine. AVhyV Because
he chooses to live his life in his own way
and shuns notoriety ; because ho gives no
opportunity to Uio'liitlo gentlemen who
shoot their paper bullets of the brain
against all well known characters ; be
cause he does not live in the United
States ?
In the last sentence is the whole solu
tion of the misapprehension as to Mr.
Bennett's character. People have never
forgiven him for preferring to live t < qmo-
where else , and they never will. There
fore , incidents which bear out this pre
conceived idea of him are welcomed ,
\\hilo those in his favor are received
with n shrug.
Up to llvo or six years ago the gay
butterflies of Newport would daily sigh ,
"Oh , how wo wish Mr. Bennett would
come , " because with his advent the
Casino , whicli ho founded , became a
center of gay doings , and the rank of
wealth and fashion brightened up as if
this ono man carried with him a ver'tta-
blo spice of life to season everything.
But no chose lo lease his Newport house ,
and also tlio old homestead on the Hud
son , which actions were duly commented
upon by bocioty in tones of disappoint
ment.
Then again , how many , many people
have remarked : "It is a' great mistake
for Mr. Mennett not to livohero , lor with
his wealth and inlluonco and force of
character he could In this country sat
isfy any ambition. " But Mr. Bennolt ;
although he watches both national and
state politics carefully , and guides his
| ) iittr ] ) skillfully through hidden shoals
and dangerous rockw , has no interests or
personal ambitions , to servo thereby.
Ho has several times said that there is
no public olflco for wjileh ho would bo
a candidate. Once upon a time the
olllce sought the malt , and old Hall , for
so many years his trusty doorkeeper ,
tells the story in thii way.
"Four or llvo uujji cnino in hero , all
smoking big cigars , and linked to see Mr.
Bennett. 1 said they couldn't see him ,
as ho had given nlu special orders that
no ono was to bo admitted that after
noon. Then ono of the chaps strutted
up and dolling his hat made me a little
speech. Ho said they were a committee
roprosontlng \vorlcingmcnof the city
and that they wiHhod to nominate Mr.
Mennett for the position of mayor. I
told him orders \\nro orders , and a little
thing Hko that made no dllTerenoe.
TIMJV IIAII IIK'lTKIt C'MIAK OUT
and write to Mr. Mennett. Well , do you
know those fellows wont and reported lo
a meeting that they had been ogre-
glously treated at the Herald olllce and
they passed a resolution that no more
Hluclcup reporters should bo nominated
for any olllco In the gift of the people.
Mr. Muniiclt ? Ho nuver said a word to
me about It. "
Mr. Mcnnett's milo ambition Is his
ntmspapor.Vhereverhe goes he carries
this with him as the mint prominent ob
ject of his life. During hl periodical
visits here he goo * carefully through
every department , noticing mechaiiU'al
details here and improvements to be
made there , htudj ing the tone of his
paper and occasionally writing u-fureo-
( ul editorial that will b\vinu It back into
the broad channel in which ho doslro.i It
lo bo run. In his entresol on the Champs
Klysecs it is much the same. 1 lo rices
early , takes his douche , and with a line
glow of health on his chocks trols away
for a gallop In the Mots do Boulogne , fol
lowed by a couple of dogs. During his
breakfast ho reads the Herald , cables
over corrections. Instructions and "point
ers. " SltR'o ho has started the Parts and
London Heralds a gentleman who has
been on his homo utalT for some years
was cabled for. Tpon his return ho said :
"My talk to Mr. Bennett was the great
est surprise of mv life. Why , ho seemed
to know perfectly every member ot his
staff and exact capabilities of each. " Mr.
Bennett receives by every mall copies of
the Now York , London and Paris Her
alds , in which every item is marked , the
name of the writer in blue pencil and
the name of the editor in red , and a care
ful study of these papers keeps him en
rapport wilh the personnel of his largo
force. It is the same wherever he goes.
Ho never relaxes his close scrutiny of
each man's work , and he actually and in
very truth personally conducts his own
journals just as much us Mr. Charles A.
Dana conducts the affairs of the Sun.
That Mr. Bennett is himself a keen
observer of public affairs and a trenchant
writer thereon is only known to those
associated with him ; that lie has the
true journalistic instinct and a force of
character to carry out ideas , the many
great enterprises the Herald has success
fully undertaken and the high position
this newspaper occupies throughout the
world is sullleient proof. So far from
being the dilettanti man of pleasure that
most jicoiilo suppose him to be , he is , on
tlio contrary , an earnest , indefatigable ,
earnest worker. The general conception
of him would not permit of his breaking
a pleasure trip in order to cable an
ordinary piece of news to his paper
which it otherwise might miss , and yet
ho often does that. In fact ,
HIS WHOM * AMltlTIO.V
is to make his papers the greatest pub
lished ; his vanity is satisfied in that
they aro-his.
It is often said that Mr. Bennett is im
perious , autocratic. Hois , Kvery man
is who has sufficient mental force to bend
others to Ills will in llio opinion of these
who bond. Sumo time ago he cabled leone
ono of iiis Now York men to go to Lon
don and await instructions. The gentle
man did so and waited in London for live
weeks , He was getting his salary all
right , but happened to be ono of
these men who feel cmbarrassd by re
ceiving a salary for doing nothing. Soho
ran over to Paris and explained the cir
cumstances to Mr. Bennett.
"What were your instructions'1' ' he
asked.
"Go to London and await orders. ' '
"Well , why don't you do it ? Good
morning. "
There is a touch of imperiousness in
this , possibly. Also in the story that
when Stanley returned from one of the
great expeditions that had made both
himself and his paper famous ; ho was
assigned to police court reporting.
There are a number of such yarns which
may or may not bo truo. Mr. Bennett
will pay a man according to his abilities
but he expects that man to do , boldier-
wise , anything ho may bo called upon to
do. In the same way may bo explained
the many changes made among his ex
ecutive workers. Ono man is put up and
and another down , apparently by mere
whim , but in reality that these men may
bo rounded out in all knowledge useful
to Mr. Bennett's business. By this
method ho has half a dozen men on his
staff , each one of whom is capable by
actual experience of filling any position
upon any ono of the Heralds.
But if you enjoyed this great journal
ist's intimate acquaintance you would
bee nothing of this impcriousness , or
nothing objectionable in it. Ho is still a
line , athletic looking man , although his
hair is white. His skin is clear , as are
the blue eyes with .tho glint of steel in
them. Much of his impulsiveness has
given place to the patient courtesy which
marks the man of the world and the
thinker , yet about his manner is the old-
time magnetism begotten of superior
force. You his " "
. forget "impcriousnoss"
as you see him strolling across his Paris
ian courtyard to give dainties to his
horses and dogs. Ho has a troup of lit
tle dachshunds of a rare breed , of which
lie is so fond that ho carries them on
board his yacht. The man who has a
corner in his heart for animals cannot bo
so very bad , and if you notice the num
ber of gray beards on the Herald , and
hear of the number of others who have
been pensioned off , it will help you to
come to the same conclusion. And you
will see that thcro is no seeking for self-
glorification in this. Nobody , with Mr.
Bennett's consent , has a word to say of
HIS GOODLY DKKDS AND CHAIilTIKS.
What ho finds it in his heart to do ,
that ho does. Ho has the courage to
live his own life and in the eyes of his
underlings ho is eccentric or worse. Yet ,
oven In this hasty glance at his life , you
will find it too full and busy for any in
dulgence in eccentricities.
Mr , Bennett has never married.
Therein lies a romance wo will leave the
ladies to guob.s at.
There is another strong point in his
character ono which may be thought a
weakness. It is inseparable from his
great ambition. This is his por.-onal
vanity in connection with hit * publica
tions. 1 ie can not bear to delegate any
authority. Ho might say with truth :
"There are three Heralds in three differ
ent countries and only one managing
editor. I am that managing editor. I
am the Heralds. "

Corn.
To the Editor of Tun Bui : : Much
figuring is being made upon the cost of
growing corn. An estimate on the
basis of the wages to bo paid to plough ,
plant , cultivate , gather and marKet ono
acre of corn would not bo correct , as corn
is not grown that way. Say the labor
of one man and team for the grow ing
year would bo required to grow , gather
and market forty acres of corn. The ex
pense of this man and team and his
family for the whole year would bo the
cost o'f growing the corn. This expense
divided by the number of bu iols grown
would be the cost per acre of growing
the corn. This expense should include
the use of the land and tlio average last
ing time of team and tools.

It is almost a forest in itself , and serves

seventy feet high , its branches extend
horizontally , supported by a trunk which
has a girth greater , It is believed , than
that of any other known tree. Ono of
those extraordinary trees was found on
