Hon. Joseph Ijymuii N'oiu-H the End. Hon. Joseph Lyiniiu , excongressniatrfrom this district , Is failing rapidly and can Hvo but n very short time. Ho has been losing strength for some time nnd paralysis has ren dered him utterly helpless. For months ho has been npparently In n decline , but the sud den change for the worse wns nbout three weeks ngo , when ho went to Omaha ono day nnd did not know where ho WM or how ho got there. His friends hero missed him nnd n search was instituted which resulted in findIng - Ing him nt the Turkish baths , whore ho sat with his hat nnd coat on and unable to tell who ho was or anything nbout himself. Since that time ho has declined very fast and his mental faculties have become seriously Impaired. Ho bus recognized very few of his friends , nnd has talked very disconnectedly. Not withstanding the fitet that his physician , Dr. Macrae , warned him several weeks ago that nbsoluto rest was his only safety , ho remained nt his legal work until compelled to give it up. Yesterday morning he sank into a coma tose state , and was unconscious during the entire day. Ho was unable to take any nour ishment whatever , nnd nt evening was re ported to 1)0 ) dying. His ailment has been paralysis , the first stroke having been sus tained in Washington two years ngo , and an other shortly after ho returned homo. His physician stated yesterday that the trouble came from a tumor which is growing' at the base of the brnln , nnd for which ho had been taking medicine for 11 ft ecu years. When ho went to Waslfiugton ho roased the treatment , and n paralytic stroke was the result. Tlio physician stated that Mr. Lyninn flight dlo within a few hour * , or ho might live for Komotimo , but that his mind was shattered , and there Is no hope for the re covery of his mental fiuulties.

An Alilernian AilvoualCN 1'rogroHH , "This paving Injunction that has tied up our public Improvement work for n while would never have been granted but for u big mistake on the part of City Attorney Stew- nrt , " said nn iildormun yesterday. "When Judge James applied for the Injunction Judge Uccmer refused to grant It until the city could have nn opportunity of being heard. The city attorney wns notified , mid Instead of making a showing to prevent the Issuance of the Injunction ho waived the city'a rights in the vase , und of course there wns then nothing for the court to do but to grant the temporary 'injunction which was1 accordingly - ingly dono. Mr. Stewart hud no authority to do anything of the kind , nnd it will put us to a lot of trouble und annoyiinco to have the Injunction dissolved. He says that the city has not lost anything by It , but I claim that It has , for It Is a great deal easier to prevent the fronting ° * uu injunction in the first place than It is to have It dissolved nftcr it has been Issued. It Is lust the snino us that ns It Is nbout get ting slek It U easier to jircrvent It than It la Is to get well , even If your Illness Is not nec essarily fntiil. It it one of the cases whew nn ounce of prevention Is better than a pound of cure. There Is no use , however , In cryliif , over spilt milk nnd we must pot to work now and have thdTliJunctlon dissolved. We have secured the services of Flnlcy Durke , osq. , t ( assist Mr. Stewart in the case nnd wo will get a bcnrlng In the court as soon as possible. As fnr ns Second nvenuo Is concerned , wo had no Intention of having that paved this year anyway , ns It will bo Impossible to do nil the work ordered this season , nnd that nvenuo ought to lx > sewered before the paving Is laid. There Is not the slightest reason why those other strectH should not bo paved this year , nnd we propose to pave them. That is ono of the linest residence quarters In the city nnd the property there Is very valuable. Pav ing would increase its value nnd the property owners nro well nblo to pay for it. The ma jority of the property owners on nil of those streets want tlio streets paved , nnd it Is only n very few who nro objecting to it. Even tlioso want paved streets , but they want other folks to pay for It , nnd nro trying to have the season's paving done on streets where the property owners nro less nblo to pay for it than they are themselves. Tills talk nbout the city's bonded Indebtedness ex ceeding the constitutional limit is nil non sense , nnd there isn't ' the slightest founda tion for It. Our present bonded indebted ness Is $1-17,000 , which Is less than half what It might be , nnd still bo within the limit. Wo have nn assessed valuation of $ dr > ( X,000 ) , , nnd the 5 per cent limit would allow us u bonded Indebtedness of Wi.OOO. These folks who nro trying to put n stop to public Improve ments try to count In the special assessment bonds which hold the property for the cost of the Improvements. There isn't n particle of sense in trying to support such n iwsition , as the supreme court holds that this do'cs not properly come under the law fixing the limit nt 5 per' cent of the nssesscd valuation. This howl nbout exceeding the limit is only beard here nt home. Wo don't hear anything of it on tlio outside , but on the contrary our bonds nro In great demand nnd sell nt a pre mium of 1 , ' < J per L'cnt. That shows what our credit is , nnd it ought to make these croakers here at homo ashamed of themselves. Our plan of pushing our public improvements has helped the city wonderfully in the past two or thrco years , and It has not only stimulated nil kinds of business nnd braced up real estate prices , but It has increased our credit , and brought in largo quantities of outside capital. The only question to decide is whether tlic scity shall continue in its progress or shall bo Riven to the croakers nnd mossbacks und n stop put to all further growth and improve ment. " A Me Nailed.

Emll and Herman , sons of Justice Schurz , visited the police station last evening to se cure the release of n car [ > enter , II. B. Mitch ell , who Is building .some new houses for 'Squire Sehurz , and who had been arrested during the day for drunkenness. Their demand to have n bond prepared was not complied with , and as they loft the station they wcro expressing their opinion of things in general and the.'polico force in particular In anything but-complimentary terms , when Chief Gary arrostcdono % of them and Captain Clougli levied on tlio other and they wore locked up. They sent a messenger to Judge McGce , who immediately telephoned the marshal to release them. As soon us they were outside the building they ngain began to air their views this time regarding Chlof Gary and his financial affairs. They told some things that tlio chief did not like to hear , and ho promptly shoved them behind the bars again. Marshal Tom- pleton immediately released them again , nnd they wcro induced to leave , although nut until they promised to bo on bund this morning und tell some more of the things they know. The boys nro scarcely out of their teens , nnd both law students. They will conduct tlioir own defenses nnd there will undoubtedly bo fun when the cases are called. They worn undoubtedly ton "mouthy , " but the question to bo de cided Is whether or not the chief of police is Justltled In locking up everybody who begins un oral review of his past record.

The members of the First Methodist church have determined upon the erection of n now church building upon the site of the present structure. The work of arranging the pre liminaries bos been going on for some time , nnd sufficient progress bus now been made to Insure the cnrly erection of the now building. The structure contemplated will cost between $ .10,000 nnd $35,000 , nnd will bo the hniulsomo- cst and most expensive church In the city. The young people of the church hnve [ taken the lead in clearing away the llnaneial obsta cles. For this purpose tlio have or ganized the Methodist mutual aid society , which counts among its workers nearly nil the members of the church. The society bus been divided into four sections , und during the summer each section will give nn entertainment. Thellrst Is the temperance section , which will give nn entertainment ut the church parlors this evening. The second section will prepare n series of musical entertainments , the third will have full charge of nil the sociables , and tlio fourth will contain nil the literary talent of the church. The entertainments that each section will give will bo so distinct and dif ferent from the others that their diversity will make them enjoyable. Each section con tains the best talent in the church adapted to its character , and the scries of pleasant evenings assured for the summer months will bo a welcome innova tion in the social world. Each section will have n month in which to prepare nnd re hearse Its entertainment , and this will assure the public something novel and well pre pared for the money expected to bo contrib uted towards building the new church.

Needed Changes In City The city lighting is being done at present according to the Chicago lighting schedule , nnd the result is that the electric lights are turned on fully mi hour before dark and nro shut off that much too early in the morning. Under the old contract n difference of half an liour was made for the difference in longitude but under the new one this difference is not made , which renders the s\reet lighting less satisfactory than it might be. The present condition of affairs is undoubtedly duo to oversight and n little attention on the part of the council would remedy it. A half hour's additional lighting can bo secured without any additional cost. Another point in this connection that demands the attention of the council is the contract with the moon , which is rather imperfect in its workings. The whole trouble is caused by the failure of that luminary to put in an appearance on all occasions called for by the bills. The contract with the electric light company [ irovides that no lights shall bo turned on on ihcse occasions nnd all is well when the moon makes all connections on schedule time , lint on cloudy nights there is nn abundant of kick ing nnd darkness. Last year there was an irrnngement by which the captain of the : iight police wns instructed to order the lights turned on whenever ho deems it neces sary and the weather is such as to warrant it. A rcnewnl of such nn arrangement would [ jive general satisfaction and insure well- lighted streets ut all times. The gasoline stove is more dangerous than the unloaded gun.

Yesterday was a phenominnlly beautiful day nnd the people generally took advantage of It to get outdoors. Travel on the motor lines was heavier than It has been for many Sundays past. Apparently us many people visited Omaha as came tills way to enjoy the beauties mid freedom of our parks. The Fall-mount park line was taxed to about its full capacity , and from curly morning until Into in tlio day the great pan : was lllled with visitors. The accommodations in Bnyliss park proved to bo entirely inadequate for the [ rowds that poured in and out all day , There wore but few moments during the day when u vacant seat .could bo seen. If the park had double the number of seats they would bo insurtlcicnt to supply the demand on a pleasant Sabbath day. The now fountain was un object of great Interest to the strangers , The crowd nt Manawa was the greatest of Lho season , and u very pleasant day was en joyed by nil. There wcro manv special at tractions , und ono of them Unit drew n lurgo attendance was the grand pri/o shooting mutch of the Sehuctzonverein. It was the opening of tlio season for the society , nnd the Ger mans were out in full force , many being from Omaha , Lincoln , Pluttsmouth and other cities.

"History of the Gtrtys. " By Consul Will- shlro Bntterllold , author oT nn "Historical Account of the Expedition ngninst SnndUKky under Colonel William Crawford in 17b2.

The student of American history will miss nuch that U most romantic ns well ns most trugicul iu the curly annuls who overlooks the events , some of them of n very stirring char acter , which occurred In the truns-Allcghnny country during the last half of the eighteenth century.

There had been many coiillletlnt stutemeuts published- concerning the GIrtys nnd ho felt it to bo Important that such ol these as were erroneous should bo corrected nnd n trustworthy narrative , both biographi cal nnd historical In character , pre sented In the performance Of this tnsli Mr. Buttcrfleld had ncccss to records ami documents of undoubted authority which wcro not available to preceding historians nnd the fucts In which nro for tlio first time made public in his work. Wo can not under take to give even the merest summary of the eventful history of the GIrtys ami the stirr ing events with which they wcro" identified , the narration of which occupies a volume oi over four hundred pages. It must therefore sufllco to say that the work Is written In the true his torical spirit and In n style which preserves Interest in the narrative * to the end. It will bo found invaluable to nil thorough students of American history.

Cleveland Pleased That Iho Farmer. Aru nt Lust Awaking- . PiTTsnnio , Pa. , May 11. A special fron Steubcnvlllo , O. , says n few weeks ngo th < corresponding secretary of n local ledge o the Farmers' alliance wrote to cx-Prcslden Cleveland enclosing n copy of the deelnrntloi of the purposes of nil alliances nnd asking Cleveland's views thereon , nlso on the pro tcctlvo tnrlff. Cleveland hns replied at some length , In the course of his letter ho say * the Indifference the farmers of tlic country have shown to the ndjustmenl of the tariff system , nnd the case with which they have been led away from the sobar con sideration of their needs ihid rights have e.v cited his surprise. Struggle as they may , snys he , the farmers must continue to oo pur chnscrs of numberless things enhanced incest cost by the tnrlff. Surely they have n right to Insist that this cost shall not bo Increased for the purpose of collecting unnecessary rev enue or to give undue advantage to domestic manufacturers. The plea that manufacturing industries need protection which Impoverishes the farmer and the consumer Is , In view of our national ml- vnntngcs nnd skill nnd the Ingenuity of our people , a hollow pretext. The plausible presentation of the blessings of a homo market should not deceive the Im poverished agriculturists : There Is no mnr- Itct for them which will not take Its Instruc tions from the seaboard nnd the seaboard transmits tbo mandate of foreign markets. Mr. Cleveland expresses his pleasure nt see ing the farmers arousing themselves to tariff reform. STATK XKH'S. Loft ltdItahc to PcrlHh. Atmunx , Neb. , May 11.
