THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY , FEBRUARY 1892-SIXTEEN 1'AGES BY "M. QUAD. " ICowrigMrd ISfflliy the C. H. WE ArrnnciATR IT. A Chicago news paper correspondent , 'wuo wns hero a month ago , expressed n wish to Inspect our prlvutu graveyard , nnd wo hired n rlfr and drove him out lotliospot , which wo have named "Woodlnwn. " Wo selected that name became there Isn't wood enough to make n toothpick within n mlle of the place , nnd because the "lawn" pnrt of It Is sand two feet deep. Yesterday wo received n copy of a Chicago jmporln which the correspondent gaveus lialf a column of pralso on our Industry In Jllllng Woodlawn nnd on our taste In orna menting the fence and head hoards with Ivy. Wo highly appreciate a notice of this land , nnd wo loci that It ts not altogether undo- served. Ho gives the number of Interments ns nine. Ho Is wrong.

As ranyor of this town , It Is our ofilcml duty to scotlmt all tlio local ordinances nro enforced. Hcubo Bcott , our town marshal , is n poor slide of n man , having less sand than u coyote , nnd being too good naturcd for his own good. Thuro Is an ordinance against crowds congregating in the corridor of the posloftlco and threaten ing the life of the postmaster because the eastern mull is an hour latu. Wo ordered Koubo to oiiforco this the other day , but ho was afraid to. Wo therefore went over in our shirt sleeves nnd began on Uolonol Jack Smith , nnd threw twenty-seven men outdoors ' doors bcforo stopping. It'wtis n grout sur prise to the town , ' and tha excitement Is still high , but the postofllco la no longer tbo loaf ing place it wns. As a citizen wo nro n good fellow and train with the hoys. As owner nnd editor of the Kicker wo nfTcct considerable dignity at.d keep half breed Indians at n distance. As mayor wo feel about us big as the president of the United States , and wo propose to run this town and run it according to the rules laid down. The public can settle down on this as our policv. and the sooner they snttle tbo hotter It will bo for all hands. A BAUIIADKI : > SIIAMI : . If tbcro Is n , public service in the United States which cares less for the comfort , and convenience of its patronu than the stage route between this town and the railroad wo should Ilka to hear it named. The coaches arc old rat trans , bought at scrap Irpn prices In California , the mules nro so poor ana wcakas to excite one's pity , and the drivers ave recklessly drunk of toner than they nro carefully sober. It is an everyday occurrence for ono of the conches to break down , nud we positively know that not ono of them has been on time within on hour for a year past. The faro is simply highway robbery , and wo pro pose to continue to show matters up until the stage company either brings about a grent reform or goes out of business and Ivavcs an opening for somebody else. LATKK The above wns put In tyno Tues- day. On Wcdnosdry Major White , the gen ial and enterprising niunnL'or of the line , called upon niul Inserted a half column ud. and subscribed for three copies of the Kicker. Hn also Kindly renewed our annual pass. Wo iind we were mistaken ubout the stages. Each ono starts promptly on the minute and nlways arrives on schedule time. The mules nre slock and full of vim , tbo coaches the most comfortable in the whole wost.nncl such 'a ' thing as a driver being drunk while on duty has never been board of. Wo cheer fully matte the nbovo correction and also re turn thanks to tbo major for a box of line cigars. BBOTHER GARDNER. I hev met heaps o' people in my time who believed In dreams , but so fur as my own experience goes I nor concluded dut it am n dead \vusto o' slcepiu material. Do biggest hit I aber inadu was m dreamln dat I found n hundred dollars on do sidowalk. When I got up In do roawnln an wont out dar I dU- klvered n nickel. Dat's about do usual shrinkage of dreams so fur as my infor- mashum goes. Business an sentiment should allus bo kent separate. When you buy a boss fur lifty dollars , dal's blznoss. Whim you llnd'ho's n kicker an o biter an no good , nnd n preacher off on you sixty dollars fur him. unt'b senti ment , nn you should lot him go wld rapid suddenness.

The fact that Hnssoll Sngo , % Tny Qould nnd thor prcnt men bdvo boon token so com- lotoly by surprise wnon n crunk has walked n on them hns boon n source of wonder to mo.

Ho could hnvo done it ns easy ns rolling oil n loc , nnd ho only fjnvo mo ten seconds for reflec tion. 1 didn't need tlvo. I took out my chock book nnd toro out a chock ror $1,000,000 , filled In ana aignod before fore I loft the hotel. Ho at once released ma nnd uttered words of prulso for my ironiiitncss nnd disputed , and wo parted the > est of friend * . Ho probably lost the check n 'rambling nrottnd.

I oxpcctcd ho would rte- nntid'nt least $11.000,000 In gold from thn wtiv to tallied , but ho wns nioro moderate. Ho only wanted the few thousand I had with nc. I gave him my wallet and ho skipped. Ho sent mo word tlio next dnv Unit there wus i $3 hill In It , hut I think ho was mistakou ; I wus sure It was only $1. The nuxt crank 1 encountered wns while 1 was silting in n harness shop in Buffalo. The inrnoss mnkor hud gone out lo try and ralio U.0 ! ! , nnd I was An charge. A cross-oyod man , with his back nil humped up. walked iu nnd aslteu the p-lco of a pulr of holdbucks , nml while I "was doing 'somo ' UPUI-IUR ho pulled out from the back of his coat a gna lipo bomb about two foot long. 1 took him lortho as oRIco man' until hn told mo th'ut bo wnntud to'rniso $1.500,000 to experiment on perpetual motion. Ho evidently took mo lor the harness matter , but It wns nil the same. I lllfcd him qut a check und sent him away stopping b'igh. ' 1 bejiovo ho returned loxtda } ' und slabbed the harness maker , but [ was nut responsible for Hint. Every man must deal with cranks on his own capital und according to his own judgment. Agiilu' , I encountered'a crank on the big tiridge at Cincinnati , It wus a dark and rainy evening , nnd ho seized mo before I could dctormino whether ho was a crank or n policeman. . liclrig nropurod for both , how ever , I quioMy nsised his price. Ho turned out to bo a man who had written 10,000 fools cap pages on "Tho Philosophy of Thought , " and ho only wanted & . > ,000 to publish and circulate ll.

The 'nost determined crank I ever encoun tered wns in tbo rplutida of Jho capital build ing in Washington. I at lirst took him lor an behest old farmer who hud como to town to soil the statesmen of the country nrtl- chokes or sassafras root , but I was deceived. Ho drew mo tislao und allowed mo a quart bottle of liquid which ho ox plained bad 51,000 times the destroying fetCH ; ' of nllro glycerine , ami that unless ho wni'boiifjht off ho pro posed to drop it on the tiled fionr'mid shatter the wuolu United States. It loojcod to mo as if that bottle bold old Kentucky Step High , bul tnoro was no tlmo for argument or inves tigation. Ho wanted a million , and ho wanted itrlchtoff , quick. I cheerfully accepted his terms-but bad only g'ot ray chock book out whmi ho raised me hair a million. I nodded that I "saw" him , and ho inuao It two million * . I was ubout to tear out Ihq check when ho raised the bottle aloft and solemnly declared' that ho would uot spare the United States for a red cant less than Si.000,000. I closed ut thut Jinuro before ho could either throw the bottle or back out. Ho seemed rather chagrined to think ho hadn't ' tackedon'a couple of millions moro , but iitmllv pocketed the bottle and wont off down Pennsylvania avenue to cash tbo check. It ir.uy bo that ho couldn't got anybody to Identify him as "bearer. " ns my banker didn't say a word whun 1 draw out my seventeen dollars and closed the deal with him. There isn't the sllcbtost excuse for any capitalist in this country being blown all to rags by the boino of a crank.
