Francis Train , the living embodiment of the
pychio force that rules thn world , recast the
pastnml propbotlcnlly foretell Ihefutuio.
Ills co.itumo was something of a cross be
tween full evening dress nnd a ( irand Arm ;
Of the Itupubllo unlfoim.but was supposed to
hnvo no connection with either. It wan a
product of the wearer's individuality , and
the MHO claw hammer coat , patent
leather pumps , brasi buttons nnd
tricolor badpo were Individual and
oolloctlvo fcaturoi of Tr.ilnomania.
His was a strlk-lng figure , and even to these
Who hnd known him for thirty years , ho was
nn object of keen Intereit. The powerful
frame URS surmounted by a hoaa of mam
moth proportions. Hia face was brown ns a
berry , the result of numerous outings In
Madison Sniiare , with the children nnd birds
lor companions.
Above all waved his long white hair. Per
haps ttie strangest thing about this most
( trango man were Ids eyes weird , brilliant
orbs of n pleasant buo , in vvhlch momentarily
\flashcd \ lights of Btrnngo inti'lligenco and in
the noxtfnstant beamed with kindly courtesy.
Ills face bore the Impress of a high order
Of intellect , and ho sccmud Indeed ttio
exponent of foncs widely at v.i-
rianco with these generally understood.
As ho talked ho seemed fully ni unlike
Other men as ho claimed to bo , nnd to be
rather a wonderful combination of egotism ,
Insanity and brilliancy , the like of which is
to bo found neither jn tieavon , earth , nor
under the earth.
It wns s : i ( ) o'clock when Mr. Train was es
corted upon the stage bv Mayor Gushing
mld round niter round of hearty upplnusu.
Thcio were many ladies In the audience
and they joined hcnrtlly in the welcome that
wns accorded to the noted cltl/cn nnd trav
eler. Among these occupying .scats on the
stage were Messrs George P. Bends , Adolpn
Mojer , 1C. Kosewator , G. Harttnan and Mr.
Train's private secretary , Air. Kleusch.
Ttio creat glebe tiottor was very pleasantly
introduced by the mayor ns n man who had
spoken In more cities nnd been in more Jails
than nny ono else In the country.
Mr. Trnln wns warmly greeted ns ho
stopped forwnrd nnd iciincstcd the footlights
/turncil down so ns to give him n good view of
the audience , and heat once turned liimself
loose.
IIo placed himself in tbo hand ) of the
ftudlcncunnd asked them tn tell him what to
tallt about. Io ! answered nil questions , nnd
everything went , In a rambling disjointed ,
disconnected sort of n way , I'nitwas often
Incobeient , but alwnvs Interesting , lie was
In excellent humor , told jokes and stoiies
Bad In the language of tbe Malla , hisaudi 1
cncowas "wul'Im. "
Ho told of bis abstinence from tncnt for
Blxtccn years nnd his refusal to touch man
or woman. IIo outlined the curly history of
Omalm Insomuch as ho was connected with
it IIo pleaded guilty to being- crank , nnd
declared that cranks had done nil the great
things la the world's
history. Said ho :
"Tuke Hosowator's building ; up hero
If you hndn't had a colossal crnnlc nt the
lieat ) of your newspaper enterprises lioro In
* this glpantio city of Omaha ho never could
Imvo got these blLF stones up to the top.
Nooody but n crank could have builded n
city of 140,000 in the midst of tbo primeval
prairie acd nobody but n crank can make It 11
city of WJO.OOO , leaving Chicago astern. "
Mr. Train declared that ho would take
nothing but an occasional cup of cofTco for
ICO days , and Is now toning down his
niomacnto choose nndcrnckcrs.
IIo ndvlscd non-sectarian nnd non-partisan
work In building up Omaha. When asked to
discuss Jay Gould he declared that the "httlo
wizard" didn't ' weigh six ounces to the
pound and was ttio biggest bunco-steerer the
world over know. Gould placed tbo whole
country in the hnnds of a icccivcr , and ns n
result the wuolo country Is inacndmuizcd
with poverty.
Ho attributed the miscarriage of law to the
Jury system nnd said ( hut an ollglblo juror
must be a natural d d fool. IIo laid al"
hygionio trouble tit the door of ever eating ,
nnU said that If you cat dead llosh you are ol
necessity partly dead. To lllus
trato , ho pointed to Cleveland's ' u't

AN OPEN HOARD FOR OMAHA.
Articles of Incorporation Filed by The
Grain Men.
THEIR PLAN OF ACTION EXPLAINED.
Tlio Grnlti Dcnlcrs Propose to ISfitab-
HHI ! mi Open Hoard Iiulc-
pendent of tlio Uiunlia
Itonrd of Trade.
The Omalm grain nnd produce exchange
has filed articles of incorporation. TUocapl-
tnl block Is placed at $10,000 divided into 100
shares of $100 each. The articled further
provide for a board of directors ind oflicers
.such us is customary with organizations of
the kind.
'Iho Incorporators nro Omnhn groin men :
A. B. Jnqulth , manager and B. 1' . Peck sec
retary of the Omaha elevator company ,
Charles II. Fowler , treasurer of the Ifowler
elevator company , J. A. Connor an elevator
man recently como to Omaha from Platts-
metith and J. K. Price , a broker.
According to the articles only onoshnro of
stock cnn bo held l > y ono member , mid it is
intended that only u small par cent of the
stock shall bo paid in nt the commencement ,
the balance as It muy bo required.
'Ihe object of the oxcliaiiRO as explained by
the Incorporntors is to facilitate business
transactions in grain nnd all kinds of prodiuo.
Tbo wny the business Is conducted nt pres
ent if u dealer receives a car of grain or hay
ho Is compelled to run all ever the city to
lind a buyer nnd Is put to an unnecessary
amount of trouble. The exchange proposes
to rent n , room , the old board
of trade room would suit them ,
If it can bo hnd , and establish
horns fer meeting where tlia buyers and sell
ers of the different products could assemble
nnd transact business. In other words the
exchange proposes to establish au open board
similar to these existing in other cltlos. It
is intended to have all ariangcments per
fected for opening the board July 1.
He-sides facilitating the exchange of the
different commodities the open hoard will es
tablish a market which cun bo reported to
the eountiy and shippers given an idea of
what to , expect in return for shipments of
grain or produce to this trmrkot. In the past
Omaha has hud no established urain market.
These who have been Instrumental In the
organisation of the otclmngo disclaim any
intention of antagonizing tlie board of tr.ulo
In any wav wliatuvcr , but that they feel that
nn organisation composed of men In ten's toil
in the grain nc.d proiluco business would ho
better able to conduct the affnlrs of an open
board. Then , too. tbo present board of trade
has Its ofllcurs nnd committees and hoards of
arbitration alreailv appointed for the
nnd none of them are grain men.
ItlsaliuoU a necessity that sonto of these
positions should bo filed by ( jrain men , us for
CAninplo the board of arbitration. In gia.n
deals disputes and mlsunclerstandini's bet -
t eon buyers and sellers nro unavoidable ,
and when they do occur it is very essential
that they should bo nroltrntod by grain men
who are fumiliar with nil the Ins nnd outs of
the business. Anot her reason for desirinc a
separate organization from tlio present board
of trade is that a great many smaller dealers
would liki ) to avail themselves of the bouellts
of the open board who would not feel like
The uraln men are all very enthusiastic : on
the subject of a grain marKet In Omaha nnd
they believe that the organization of the
gram and producooxchango will further the
matter very materially ,
The books weie open for stock subscrip
tions for n short tlmo yesterday , and although
the subject hnd not been adveitlsed and the
majority of ttioso who would bo likely to sign
did not Ituow that such a thing as the ex
change had oven been proposed , the stock
subscriptions eamo pourlmr in nt a
lively rate. The promoters of the enterprise
expressed thomcolves ns moro than picasoJ
with the results. A feature which they 10-
gnrd ns especially encouraging Is tna fact
thai the heaviest dojilcH , botti buyers and
sellers , nro comlns ; to the front nnd are tak
