A houao of refuge , n. homo where every need of the body and ECU ! of a woman who has Jeopardized both ran enter and begin anew , her only passport being a d - elro to reform. A homo where she can re main n short while or n lifetime. Out a few blocks past the west end of the L street viaduct In South Omaha stands n largo three-story frame house , built years flgo , It Is said , by Councilman Itasc.ill of Omaha , but now occupied by thu Sisters ot the Oood Shepherd , four In number , who came from the mother house In St. Louis , Mo. , and used by them ns a house ot rcfugo for fallen women. They have eight een Inmates , who have aham'onul their sin ful lives and placet ) themselves under llu kind protection , guidance and care of thcso liotilo women. How I wish every woman In Omaha and South Omaha could have been of thci party of twenty-two ladles who , on last Thursday afternoon , enjoyed the prlvl- love kindly given by Rev. Dlshop Scanncll of meeting the sisters In charge and being shown by them , assisted by through every part of the liouso and hcnrd all Its workings explained. How I wish they could know of the graap of friendship , of thu warm , strong hand of Mother Raphael , the sight of the kindly welcome In her face , the quiet , the cleanli ness , the homeliness , and peace of that liousc , and above all the air of godliness thereabout. I am sure they would offer a prayer In thanks that mich a homo Is among us and express a wish that It remain. The ladles whoso pleasure It was to visit the house of refuge arc : Mesd.unes C. L.

LINCOLN , July 20. To the Editor of The Dee : Under any form of government an adequate military force Is vitally Important. The dignity of the state , In Its truest senac , Is shown In peace , but peace Is maintained nt times by a show of arms. Turbulent and rebellious forces must be held In check. No single decade haa passed nines the beginning of our government that has been entirely peaceful. Each Ims been marked moreover by an Increasing und.rcurrcnt of violent discontent. Many tltns prosperity has bc-en he.d In check , Industry been suspended , prop erty been destroyed and homes desolated through a lank of rufUclent local force to bring dangerous and linuircctlonary elements under control. Shall this continue ? Will It be npcescary to sacrifice liberty for civiliza tion ? Shall we repeat thp folly of'Euttpa by supporting u large and cotly national army or will It bo policy to continue our past Insane - sane course of losing mllllonn of property yearly and ftufforlng national disgrace through a lack of It ? Neither course would bo practical. While the regular army might bo Increased with safety we must depend largely hereafter on the citizen soldier. The citizen soldier Is the best guard of American liberty. He Is at once the citizen and the guard , and with the co-oparatlon of those In authority ho has sufllclctit strength to crush all minor rebellions. The full force of tlio state militia of the various states available for purposes of defense or for the suppression of riots Is 110,7 ! > ti uniformed , disciplined men. With such a fores It would seem that labor riots could be held In check , and yet through the Inaction of state authorities rebellion nnd anarchy at times hold full sway. State authorities should be In acllvo and sympathetic co-operatlcn so that through their just manipulation of power the safety of citizenship and local honor could bo main tained without the Intervention of federal authority. The cry of the times Is peace and we should have peace. Llbrty should reign. The citizen nnd his property should bo pro tected If It takes the entire military reservs of the United States to do It. The citizen should be * guaranteed above all things the enjoyment of liberty. C. H. HUNTER. .nit M.VJJ TO iwr.vrn. OMAHA , July 21. To the Editor of The Hce : The American Steel liarge company ( wimlcbacks ) claim that when the Canadian canals nro Complete they can ship freight from Duluth and Chicago to Montreal for less than It can now be carried from Buffalo to Nsw York , and further that they can ship It from Duluth or Chicago to Liverpool with out breaking bulk for less than , is now charged between Huffalo and New York City. When we consider that coal 1ms already been carried from Lake Erie ports to Duluth. a distance of about 1,000 miles , for 10 cents pir ton. we can readily understand how this can bo done. New If Omaha had a railroad running In an air llr.u to Duluth It would give not only a shorter line to the lakes , but lighter grades than now exist , as the roads to Chicago run ncrosa the courses of the streams.

For a month the whereabouts of John Witt of this city have been u mystery which has been ex pected to bo solved by the discovery of a murder.

Notwithstanding It Is the private affairs of the Ucach association , It Is understood that the seven clays' entertainment furnished by the lions and leopards , ending with to night's performances , will cost Courtland an oven $700. The week Just passed has been the most remunerative of the season' "Tho Fall of Pompeii , " which the Com mercial club is working up , to bo given at Courtland beach this fall , Is assuming form now , and If the club and the merchants ot Omaha give It proper support the Courtland Beach association has promised to do hand somely In the way of substantial financial aid. The members of the club , who are push ing It , have been given a very low rate of faro by all the railroads , and as this greatest of all spectacular performances and fire works display will last for three weeks , It Is expected that many thousands ot people from Iowa and Nebraska will be In attend ance , and that the merchants of these two states will find It convenient to como to Omaha and make their fall purchases at that time.

Talking this morning to Receiver E. filler ; Anderson and Frederick II. Cotidcrt ol t.li Union Pacific three ( j'lestlons ' were submit led 'to the gentlemen by tlio reporter : 1. Should tlio present congress fall ti pass a funding bill what effect would It hav upon the bonds of the company ? 2. Has there been any part of the flrs mortgage Interest defaulted and when wll holders of said mortgages Ire In a position ti foreclose ? If they should begin foroclosuri proceedings how long would It take for tin process to reach Its legitimate end ? 3. What effect will the foreclosure pro cecdlngs brought by Messrs. Gould and Sagi against the Kansas I'aclllc company have 01 the bonds of the Union Pacific ? To the first question Mr. Coudort replied "Upon some of the bonds thu failure of congress gross to pass a funding bill nt this sessloi would have lltttle or no effect , upon other. It Is ilinicult to lull what the effect would be It would probably have a depressing cffcc should congress fall to act. In answer to the second question the Nev York legal light said : "Interest has no been paid upon the first mortgage bonds dui July 1 lust. , but the company Is allowed sl > months Indulgerico , during which period fore closure proceedings may not lie , The ro celvers are very hopeful , however , that be fore the expiration of the period montlonei the revival of business and the restoration o peace will penult them to pay coupons dm July 1. No one can tell as to the lengtl of tlmo it would take to foreclose on the mortgage , as there are many contingencies likely to arise , that upon some of them tin supreme court of the United States mlfeht bi called upon to express an opinion. It would however , everything being smooth sailing take from two to three years. "As to the third question , " said Mr. Con- dert , "I think the process begun In the Kansas court will have little effect on the bonds of the Union Pacific , as they are per fectly good. It might have a tendency , ii : view of the default In Interest , to cause sonic persons to sell on account of the non payment , and thereby cause a flurry in the street , but I anticipate the stock of the com pany Is about as low as It can go. " Mr. Anderson , after listening to Mr. Cou- dert's opinion , remarked that the comple tion of foreclosure proceedings , which would have the effect of foreclosing on the entire territory and clearing the decks of all rub bish that a new start might be made , would probably take five years. Speaking of the main line between Omaha and Ogden , Mr. Anderson volunteered the Information that the bonds following the government liens were sinking fund 8s , se cured by lands along the line , of which only $3,000,000 were outstanding. OBLIGATION TO SUFFER MOST. "The obligation of the company which will suffer most by the failure of any adjustment between the United States and the company Is the debt to the government of the United States. The value of that asset of the gov ernment will necessarily bo decreased by the failure to reach a satisfactory basis. " In discussing the third Interrogatory Mr. Anderson thought the foreclosure proceed ings begun by Messrs. Gould and Sage against the Kansas Pacific would be bene ficial to the system. "I also bellve that foreclosure on the main line between Omaha and Ogden would be of ereat advantage to the system , the reason for this statement being that .is soon an a general foreclosure Is commenced and a sale threatened , the interests that see them selves about to be extinguished tin bo readily brought together on a basis of rational re organization which will restore the system or a large part of It , and In this way avert complete disintegration. ' "What Is most needed today for the bne- ftt and advantage of the community served by these railroads , of the holders of railroad securities , and of the government , Is an In telligent reorganization plan which shall offer to every creditor , Including the gov ernment , a substituted security for his pres ent holding , which shall bo the reasonable equivalent of the just market value of that which he now has. " Mr. Coudert , dlEcuasing the system gener ally , thought that a general foreclosure was Inevitable. "Even If the government should suiter somewhat by the sale of the property , It could well afford to lose the amount , for the road 1ms paid for Itself In developing the middle third ot the continent. I do not look with favor upon the scheme to place the railroads , and particularly the Union Pacific , in the ; hands of the government , because It would bring now sources of danger to the country. I be lieve that with anything llko a fair re organization scheme the Union Pacific can bo made cno of the greatest of railroad systems , and I feel sure that If President Cleveland , Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Olnoy had the absolute right to settle the matter It would bo done In short order and satisfactory to the great mass of the people. "Just at present the company Is hard pushed for money and wo have had some dlfllculty to mset our pay rolls , but still wo have not been compelled to borrow llko uur neighbor , the Santa Fo , and wo sincerely hope wo will not have to resort to the court for help. " SUIT 1'OH ULISVUN MILLIONS ; Effort to Hecovor I.urge Sums from Ittissell .SIRO : and Clio Kstit : < > of Juy ( iould. NEW YORK , July 21. The Kansas Pa cific bondholders' committee , of which Silas P. Dutcher Is chairman , has entered suit In the United States circuit court for Now York In the name of John Qulncy Adams against Russell Sago and the estate ot Jay Gould , to recover $11,000,000 , being the proceeds of securities alleged to have been taken from the trust. Under the deed of trust executed to Sago and Gould , about $3,000,000 from the capital stock of the Denver Pacific Railway company were deposited with the trustees as collateral security for the payment of the Kansas Pa- clflo consolidated bonds. These securities have been. It Is charged , taken out of the trust and the proceeds applied by the trus tees to their Individual benefits. The latter claimed to have obtained title to them through a suit which they instituted In the name of the Kansas Pacific Railway company ( which was controlled by them ) ngulnst themselves. All that they alleged In these proceedings , It Is contended , was that the Denver Pacific stock was of llttlo vnluo and that the mortgagor company would Ilka to have it. Upon these allegations and within a period of seven days they ob tained an order from Judge Donohuo of the Now York supreme court to toke the trust Block out ot the trust and turn It back to the railroad company. The company there upon , It Is alleged , handed the stock or the ptccccds thereof over to Gould and Sago , who , It Is allc < gcd , have retained It for their personal purposes. The complaint In the suit also charges that the proceedings gave no color ot legality to the acts of Gould and Sage , who they claim to bo accountable for the trust property , which , with premiums , dividends und other amounts , It Is claimed amounts to over $4,000,000. It Is asked that the Qould executors and Russell Sago bo called upon to account ( or the funds , and that Sago and George J. Gould bo removed from the trusteeship. Russell Sago was seem this afternoon by in Associated press representative , but de clined to go Into the merits ot the suit. Ho said : "Everything that I have done as trustee In this business Is a matter of record and I am content to stand by the ) record. The answer to the suit wjl ( bo fnaue through counsel and I prefer to say nothing on the subject now save that all the proceedings are regular. " Will Uniform the Help. 3. II.

KOBE BONES. Workmen I'ncarth flloro Slioli-tiniH Unilur the DciclKO SIivot J-clinol The workmeii who are excavating under the basement of the Dodge street school building struck another neat of human bones yester day and turned up two skeletons ami portions of three others. Like those found several days ago , the bones were badly de cayed , proving conclusively to the mind of the coroner that they belonged to Individuals who must have died many years ago. The skeletons exhumed yesterday were found In what apparently appeared to be one grave , burled about two feet beneath the surface. Close to ono of the thigh bones there was found a piece of dark , coarse woolen cloth , while a few Inches away was located a pint flask , upon which was pasted a label , bearing this Inscription , "Union Pa cific Drug Store. " * Some of the old settlers state that some twenty years ago there was a drug store by this name located on lower Farnam street , though none of them can remember who was the proprietor. This last find Increases the number of skeletons dug from this basement to eight , besides the stray and scattering bones. WANTS HIS POEMS. Ncbriisku City \utlior Offer * a Itcwiml for Illu r'tlcltlviVorxoH. . Two weeks ago Edgar T.

Ho left the grip In a saloon dur ing the afternoon , from whence It wai stolsn. Now ho writes the chief of police that he will pay ? 10 for the return of the poems , provided they are returned In an un- mutllated condition. ' People at Sixteenth and Webster streets complain that there Is a disorderly house being operated at 808 North Sixteenth street , and ask the police to abate the nuisance. W. II. Thompson got drunk Friday and tried to run all the passengers off one of the Sherman avenue motor cars. Yester day he was brought Into police court , where ho was fined $10 and costs. Now Hdiderlnir Compnny. Articles of Incorporation were filed yester day of the "G. A. Klnkcl Rendering com pany. " The corporators are : W. L. Selby , G. A. Klnkel of this city , and J. Hitter of New York City , and the business Is to render Into crease and oils the dead hogs that arrive at. the stock yards. The capital stock Is $5,000. The organization of this new company seems to bo the result of a runnnlng * fight between Mr. Klnkcl and Mr. J. B. Smiley , members of the rendering company at Mas- cott , recently closed by the court as a nuisance. Mr. Klnkcl claims he was the solo owner of the Mascott plant and entered Into partnership with Mr. Smiley , who was to fur nish $1,000 , but failed to do so. Mr. Klnkel feels very much Injured , and after paying Smiley $1 per head more than Smiley al lowed the shippers for the dead hogs , claims undue advantage was taken of him during 111 ? absence on business , and that he has been frozen out of business. Mr. Klnkcl has also applied for n receiver and brought suit against Smiley for $0,000 damages for def amation of character. A MjHtorj1 Kxnluliioil , Residents and business men In the vicinity of the government building have Joined ln > a letter to the chief of police , In which they aver , that In their opclnlon the basement of the structure Is haunted. They affirm that every night they hear strange noises es caping from the dark basement , but as yet none of them have dared to Institute an In vestigation. In describing the noises , some times they state that they resemble the sound ot a man beating on a boiler , while at other times there are long and piteous walls resembling those uttered by a person In the greatest agony , The solution of 'tha mystery Is easy enough , the facts being that ttfo postoffico cornet band has quarters In the ; ' basement of the buildIng - Ing , and the members' meet there each night for practice.

LIKELY TO OE REFERRED TO THE COURTS Account Presented for tlm I-YrilliiR of Cltj I'runni'rn uuil Counter Cliiliim .Set Up that Are Not Kt-vogiilZL'tl Alnountfl Involved , The county and the city authorities havi locked horns upon the Issue of a difference of something over $2KOO In their account ! which promises to lead to a determine * fight In the courts. Among thu bills tha have been held In abeyance by the councl this year arc thoao of the county for charg.i on the city prisoners confined In the count ] Jail durlug ISM. When the bill was pro scnted by the county It footed up the tola of $2,971.07. Soon after Comptioller Ols ] ImmKd In a statement to the effect tha the city had a counter claim of $2,071.50 thus leaving the balance duo the county onlj $307.07. The bulk of Olson's claim depended npor the preliminary costs In police court when the cases had ben disposed of there with out reference to the district court. Tin claim for costs In those cases amounted tc $1.614.53. To this was milled $ ! )07.05 ) on ac count of errors which the comptrollci claimed to have discovered In the bills ol the county. The county commissioners refused to takt cognizance of these counter claims , and ol the last meeting Instructed the finance com mittee to take stcpi to bring the city ta a settlement of their cialirts. The bills ol the county , together with the comptroller's statement , were referred to the committee on police of the city council , nnd on May 1 they presented a ropart representing thai there wcro Important legal questions In volved , and recommending that the matter bo referred to the c ty attorney. Tills was done , and the opinion of Mr. Council was ro3d at the last meeting of the council. This wa < to the effect that he believed that Comptroller Olson's position was sound and that the claims made by him could bo MIH- talned In court. This opinion was ogaln referred , with the understanding that the comic 1 would be culdert by Mr. Council's opinion and fight the cabe out. It Is likely that tiie council com-nlttcp will meet the finance committee of the Hoard of County Comml sloners and try t > effect an adjudication of the difficulty. Both bodies , however , are determined In their posit ons , and It Is regarded as very unlikely that any understanding will be reached without ap peal to the courts. The commissioners as sert that the city has no right to collect costs for the ca es disposed of In police court , while the counc'l contends that such a right exists and Is determined to enforce It. As the amount Involved Is considerable and the action In this case will he a prece dent for all similar bills In the future , the question Is regarded as ot enough Import ance to warrant going Into the courts for a final decision. .ii's ma nr.\7.K. Cvlchrntnl rnlilvrull Hotel mill I.ui-go UtiM nrSH llnusi" ; Coiisuntrd , BIRMINGHAM , Ala. , July 21. At 1 o'clock this morning fire broke out In Stowor's furni ture store , corner First avenue and Twenty- second street. Owing to the lack of v.-ater pressure the firemen were unable to control the fiames , which soon crossed Twenty-sec end street and consumed the celebrated Caldwell - well hotel , one of the finest structures of the kind In the south. The fire spread to adJoining - Joining buildings. The loss Is $700,000. The Caldwell hotel was built in 1S8S , at a cost of $150,000. The Slower Furniture company and the Perry-Mason Shoe- company , which occupied the block In which the flro originated , carried heavy stocks of goods. No lives were lost. Some baggage belong ing to the guests of the hotel was consumed. Following are the principal Individual losses and Insurance : Caldwell hotel , entirely destroyed , loss $100,000 ; Insurance on building , $100,000 ; on furniture , $18,250 ; on guests' effects , $5,000. John W. Johnson , loss on building , $10,000 ; Insurance $20,000. Hawkins , loss on building , 510,000 ; Insur ance , $20,000. Stower's Furniture and Hardware com pany , loss $16,000 ; Insurance , $8,000. Perry-Mason Shoe company , loss $35,000 ; Insurance $20,000. Mrs. Harry Mercer , loss on building , $5,000 ; Insurance , $3,000. Some twenty or thirty smaller losses ot $500 to $2,000 each swell the total loss to $050,000 or $700,000 , and the Insurance to $300,000. The fire bToko out In the second story ot the Stowcrs Hardware company's store In the Johnson building. Just across the street stood the Caldwell hotel , and a llttlo further down on First avenue were the Hawkins building , the Perry-Mason Slice company's store and other smaller Institu tions and some residences. The cause of the fire Is a mystery , but It probably was caused by a spark from an arc light In the Stowers company's store Igniting some shav ings or newly varnished furniture. When the fire department arrived at the fire this building was practically gone , Its five stories melting In the fiames. Its ea-t wall fell , breaking every window In the west wall of the Caldwell and the woodwork around them , already aflame , soon made a furnace of the Interior. Manager K. II. Freeman cf the hotel , however , had suc ceeded In warning all the guests , and every one escaped , one man being badly scorched. The hotel Is completely destroyed. It was the property of the Caldwell Hotel company , Dr. H. M. Caldwell of the Klyton Land company holding two-thirds of the stock. From the hotel the fiames spread to the other buildings on First avenue , and practically spent themselves , the fire de partment being handicapped In handling the high buildings by lack ot pressure.
