Mr. Nnsoii Tolls Wlmt Oiimlm Must Do for the lcoploh G'nnxciitlon. "Wo wont and wo must have a grand ex position building or auditorium capable of accommodating upwards ot 23,000 people to redeem our pledge to the Industrial confer ence. " So says Secretary Nason of the Board of Trade. "I scarcely think , " ho continued , "that people fully appreciate the importance of this convontlo'n. Only this morning I was talking to a gentleman who had a supply of cold water in the shape of 'an opinion that a people's party convention would bo more of a detriment to the city than otherwise because - cause it was opposed to Iho old parties , and consequently ant to Injureus In the oycs of eastern capitalists. Mow this Is a great mis take. Whatever Is of beuetlt to the state Is of bonolit to the city. This convention will interest and stimulate the farming section of which wo are the center , and both directly and Indirectly promote the welfare of every manufacturing , ] obhlug and general interest of the city. "Tho Board of Trade and its committee wonted hard to get this convention and think they have accomplished a erciu thing for the city. It now remains for the city to do its part. We promised the conference to pro- vldo a hall which will accommodate com- fortahl.v and suitably 15,000 people ; to pay all legitimate expanses of tuo convention : to put uniformed pages on tbo door ; to appropriately decorate the stage and hall ; to provide all necessary com mittee rooms , to pay the expenses of the executive committee In necessary prelim inary sessions and provide rooms and board In the host families for the lady representa tives. "With all this In view no time is hotter than the present to agitate the question of building a line largo creditable hall capable of accommodating any sort of a national con vention , ouo which will 09 an ornament to the city and centrally located. 'Iho Coli seum is not what wo waat. It Is too far away and it Is not suitable in any respect. "Wo have about sixty days before us , and If properly organized wo can have Just the building wo require ready for tbo Methodist eonforonco. But wo must bo organized , and tbo people must bo aroused to the importance of tbo project. Part of the worlc the ooard can do , part tbo city can do , but wo must bavo tbo people In sympathy with us. 1 think the city should erect this building. It Is needed every year. There Is no reason why Omaha may not become the great convention city of the continent. Wo have the location and the transportation facilities , and there is no rea son why wo should not have tbo accommoda ' tions. 'Grand Island would erect this ball ; so would Lincoln , and jump at the chance. Why not Omaha ? "Tho quickest and perhaps tbo best way to bring the matter up would bo for some mem her of the cltv council to Introduce n measure proposing that the city provide for the building of the hall. This would bring out any opposition that may exist and put us In a position to answer It. Homcthlnc of the sort will undoubtedly bo done vary soon. Falling In this , there is a sugeostlonxhat wo purchase the Exposition building. But that is hardly leasable. Wo are to bavo this sum mer two great national conventions to wbicn will como delegates from every nook and corner of tbo union and wo have no suitable room la which those great assemblages can meet. "Something must bo done and-at onco. " Interviews with others scorn tq indicate that Mr. Nason Voices tbo sentiments of u malorlty of the capitalists of tbo city and the prospects for tbo erection of a grand audi torium In the near future look verybright. . Attention is called to the forty-fourth annual exhibit of the affairs of the Ponii Mutual Ltfo Insurance com pany which may bo found in this issue. The management take especial pleasure in directing attention to the substantial evidences of prosperous growth and sound financial conditions , testifying to an increasing usefulness and asburcd permanency of this Institution.

A Jtcvolutloimry Drscuiiilunt Itobs Up with ii lilg Cliilni , Representative Bushiioll of Wiscon sin has a constituent with ti claim against the government that possesses all the elements of novelty , history and romance , says the Washington corre spondent of the Globo-Domocrat. It is a claim for something over $30,000,000 , but the claimant is willing to accent $30,000,000 in a round sum and call it square. His name is Daniel Morgan , a direct descendant , ho says , of General Morgan of revolutionary fame. The older Morgan spoilt a good deal of money equipping his own soldiers , so the claimant relates. For his services ho received warrants for 11.000 acres of land in Vir ginia , inasmuch as the government was abort of cash and somowhatombarrasscd in resources. This land was valuable only in what it might bring in the dim and distant future. At current values it was worth little or nothing. General Morgan was a man of onorery and push , nnd it appsars , remarkably popular. But by his personal influence ho managed to dispose of a considerable tract of his Government land for ready money which ho immediately paid out for clothing and shoes for his soldiers , so as to enable them to continue the revolutionary struggle. The clothes ho bought for what money ho was able to raise on his land did not go half around , but ho did the best ho could ; and afterwards , while the war was still raging , obtained another installment of govornmontland In Virginia of 830 acres. When the revolution was over and Gen eral Morgan Burvoyea his vast fields , ho saw but small prospects of fostering a respectable existence unless lie turned his Holds to some practical account. The government sympathized with him and gave him bomo government bonds for his land , appraising the land at $1.2o per aero. Tlicbo bonds wcro to earn 25 per cent per annum. They were issued in 1782. The paper proved to bo as val uable as the land , and it is fair to presume - sumo that when fire destroyed the bonds in 1800 General Morgan felt but slight regrets. Not so with his descendant. Ho esti mates that the original debt of some $15,000 at 10 per cent per annum doubles every ten years , nnd from 1782 to 1802 amojwits to upwards of $30,000,000. Ho coula , of course , claim 25 per cent inter est , but prompted by something of the loyal spirit that caused the original Morgan to stand between this govern ment and ruin , ho is willing to knock off 15 per cent and settle on a basis of 10. Ho promises Representative Bushncll $1,000,000 for his trouble in pushing the bill through congress but it's to bo a contingent fee. A Xotv llullillii ) ; I/nv.

Norlhcdge , the ox-soldlor , real cstalo agent and carpenter , who re cently inherited $900,000 , lent nod a few days ago , according to the Chicago Tri bune , that ho was one of the hoifd to a largo estate in Montreal , Canada. His portion of the fortune will amount to nearly $250,000. Ho alt-o learned that ho is no longer plain Air. Northedgo , but Sir George W. Northcdne , baronet. Since Mr. Norlhcdgo has boon the possessor of a title anil a million in money a romance has stolen into his life , bhortly after his good fortune was made public letters from women of all ages and kinds commenced to pour in upon him. While the writers were anx iously awaiting roiilies to their tender missives Air. Northedgo placed a "per sonal" in a daily newspaper asking to correspond with Bomo fair maiden with a view to matrimony. He received many answers , and among them a letter from Miss Gertrude Clark , a fair damsel 11 years of ago , who resided then , and docs now , against her will , with her parents in Winamac , Ind. Whether o. ' . not Air. Northedgo wished to take unto himself a wife in the person of Aliss Clark is not known , but , at any rate , her parents wcro in terviewed on the subject , and they ob jected with an amount of decision that made Mr. Northcdgc's title and fortune tremble. Not for all the fortunes and titles would Air. Clark allow his only daughter to marry at so tender an ago. And she didn't. The btory of Air. Nortliedgo'd connec tions was recently printed. He is a vet eran of the late war and his father , Col onel George Northedgo , distinguished himself in many buttles during the re bellion. Air. Northedgo has taken out a life in surance policy for $100,000. Mr. Norlh cdgo draws a pension from the govern ment for injuries received in the war. "I am just the same man now as before I got a million and a title , " he bald. "You know I have a coat of arms , but 1 don't know whether I shall iibo it or not. It is rather a peculiar ono. It is a boot leg aud a spur. 1 have learned , without doubt , that I am the missing heir to the fortune in Montreal. ' I don't care to say much about Aliss Clark. She is too young , you know. She wanted to many mo , though , but of course I wouldn't think of such a tiling. I have been bothered to death with pro posals of marriago. I burned nearly all the loiters I received , but some of them Ikopt. " Air. Northodgo is still young , has a title and a million , and would got mar ried if the right ono came along. Crushed. It was a mastodon beef and bcanory on the Bowery , says the Now Yoi-k Com mercial Advertiser. Multitudinous waiters flitted up and .down the aisles , yowling orders for "Ham nnd , " "Ono in the dark" and "A stack er whites.1' To each of those came the answering war-whoop of "Rlghtl Take 'cm away. " A stranger entered. Ho was fresh from the piorand didn't know whether ho was on Fifth avenue or Cherry Hill. The shrieks of the wait ers probably led him to believe that ho had unwittingly strayed into tlio lair of a tribe of Albino Indians , and ho took a seat near the door with an agitated air. A servitor with a face like a com posite photograph of the Rogues' Gal lery approached , rested ono band on the table and bternly demanded what tho' stranger wanted. "I Bay , " said the Briton , gingerly dabbing at the table cloth , "I say , waltah , this or table's not ever clean. " "Not clean , ain't it ? Well , wat's dor matter wid it ? " "It or facoins to mo that there are rod ants in the pluco. " "Ar r , " snorted the waiter as ho turned haughtily away , "wndjor expect to llnd in a bean ba/.aar !

I was slightly built and 10 or 11 years of ago whoii I discovered that a flock of woodchucks frequented the Creole. I resurrected the old family flintlock musket , which family tradition said had scon borvico in the war of the revolution , and had been used in the , war of 1812 in the endeavor to repel the British , when Buffalo was burned. The flint was gone. I searched the Held where I had seen flint Indian arrow heads , and foXmd end out of which E manufactured a passable flint for the old gun. I obtained some blasting powder from a neighbor and crushed it fine. For shot 1 cut some pieces of lead to a suitable sl/.o ; wadded the powder and shot firmly with tow. Proceeded to the creek , crawling through the short briibh as only a hey or rabbit can do , trailing the old musket , which was so heavy 1 could barely , with the exercise of much will power , bring it to my shouldor. Arriving near Iho point where 1 ben lievod tlio ducks weio located , T rarer1 fully raised my head above the briibh.
