FALLINQ HAIR SURFACE IS TURNED TO DUST Beautiful Broadway Becomes a Menace ( o Street Travel Again , NEED OF SPRINKLING BECOMES URGENT linrtnlKlilcil Koonom.v of ic City Council IM DlMCiiNNiMl ( JuiicmlI ) by the liitiTi'HliMl l'r < iii-rl | > - Holder * Hie Thoroughfare. The discussion In the city council at the last ( meeting of Contractor Wlckham's propo sition to sprinkle the newly laid macadam on West Broadway did not end when the city council decided not to bear any ot the ex pense In keeping It wet down. This decision virtually removes all probability ot there being any sprinkling done on the street thle minimcr. Wlcklmm's estimate of the cost for sprinkling the three miles of street was In the neighborhood ot $500 or $6WI. lie had a fichemo by which the residents and property owners along the street 'were to contribute regularly to the fund , and had also secured itomlscs from the motor company and several teamsters connected with the big packing louses In South Omaha , who make dally trips over the road. A number ot these pack- ng house men announced their wllllngnecs : o contribute $10 a month to the tun. The : lty was uskcd to pay a total ot $75 for the canon's sprinkling. There Is a good deal of discussion of the matter uinco the action if the council , and every trip over the street causes the discussion to be more earnest and convincing. When the track was k pt wet during the month prior to the tlmo It was Inlahed and accepted by the council the sur face was bard and llrm , and It made .1 line track for all kinds of traffic. During the dry hot weather of the last few days the moisture lias all disappeared and the sur face Is covered with about two Indies efl dry sand and dust , mixed with pebbles and boulders. "Wlckham's contract to keep the road In repair for ti year can bo made good without sprinkling It this season , and he will perhais ( bo abla to leave the street In good shape at the cud of the year , " said 0110 of the advo cates of sprinkling yestcitlay , "but the city will perhaps be the loser to the extent of sev eral thousand dollars by the neglect to keep It wet down at the start. Some of the mem bers of the city council and some of the people have a wrong Idea about the latter. It Is not simply In answer to a demand for local comfort , although all of the residents of Lower Broadway would like to have the dust kept down , but the people who arc most anxious to have the sprinkling done and are willing to assist in paying for It desire It because they want to sco the street main tained In good condition. It Is certainly very poor policy for the city and county to Invest $11,1)00 ) In a public Improvement and then refuse to spend $75 a year to preserve It. A month's use of the street In its pres ent dry and dusty condition will Involve ) greater dainago than a year's wear under proper conditions. " Under the provisions of Its charter the water company is obliged to furnish the water for each sprinkling cart at a cost of 50 cents a day , provide : ! the owners of the carts provide their own hydrants. If the Hro hydrants are used the rentals will bo 50 cents a clay extra. There Is talk of getting up a monster pe tition to the council asking that some ar rangements be made for having the street sprinkled during the summer aud autumu months.

Dan Shields' , a well digger , fell last even ing a distance that 1.1 vai lonely estimated at from forty-live to ninety feet. The descent was from uomewhere near the top to the bottom tom of a nlnetj-foot well he was engaged In digging. He was severely bruised ar.d shaken up , but apparently escaped serious Injury. The accident occurred at 5 o'clock on Fleming avenue. The nun were engaged In finking a well for Leonard Everett , and had gone down the depth stated on the day previous and had quit digging and had be gun laying the brick wall. This had been built up ten or twelve feet from the bottom tom at the close of the day's labor. Yester day the depth of the well was found to lie Insufficient and Shields had been at work In the preparations for deepening It. He had completed the preliminaries and had the work read ? to be resumed In the morn ing. The rcpo was lowered and the men .t the windlass started to pull him out. When near the surface the upe broke clos-e to the wlndlas ? , and Shields dropped to tbo bottom , There WES .only eighteen Inches of water In the well , and there was nothing to break the forceof the fall. Before the men at the wlndlafs had time to t'oarcely icallzo what had' happened Shields \vr call ing lustily for help. Another lope with a chain and hcok on the end was procured and lowered. Shields was able to clasp the hook under Us arms and the windlass men pulled htm out. His clothes were almost all tot n off and he was a mam of bruises. Ho had sustained a painful Injury to one hip by striking the top of the unfinished waif near the bottom of the well. One ankle was nUo badly rpralned or dislocated. He was placed In a wagoii and taken to his home , where ho received medical attention. J. H.

Two or thres warrants have been In ( ho possession of olllcers for nearly a week for the arrest of L. I' . 'Stubbs ' , a young man well known hero In and 111 Omaha. He Is charged with larceny an bailee , obtaining money un der false pretenses and beating a livery bill. On Saturday evening ho applied to Sam Friedman for the loan of a tine Imported shotgun , saying that Ms grandfather , I * Klrscht , had sent him for It. A JC5 gun was given him , and ho left Friedman's store about S o'clock. At U o'clock he had pawned thb gun at Wolff's pawiipnop In Omaha for $5 , Ho returned to Council Jllutfs and made u similar application at Snydcr'a pawnshop , representing that his grandfather had sent him to hlro a gun. Snyder gave him the best gun he had In stock and the young man left. On Sunday he procured a llviry rig from 'Mlnnlck's ' barn , and after driving It all day sent It back to the stable late at night by a boy , whom he paid 10 rents , hut neglected to pay the liveryman , Friedman found his gun In the Omaha pawnshop on Monday by the merest accident. Young Stubb * had realized ? fl out of the transac tion by selling the pawn ticket for $1 , Klwht was communicated with and the fact ascertained that he had not sent the young man ou any shotgun borrowing expeditions , and Friedman and Snyder procured warrants for his arrest. Ho was located In Omaha at the residence ot his mother In Dundee Place and a couple of Omaha oncers ivere cent out to arrest Vim. Stuhtw was upstairs when they called , and the offlrcrs waited below while his mothtr called him down. Instead of coming down the fialrway the young man went out of a rear window and was far away before ihu officers discovered that he had left the house. Liveryman Mlnnlck also filed an Information In a Justice's court charging tlm with beating a livery bill , nnd the city and state oniccrs on both sides of the river have since been looking In vain for him.

Seen mid CliiiNi'il liy IiiilliiiiH anil Ilmi- tvrN , lint \cver Cauprlit. During the summer of 1875 bands of In dians returning from a hunt far out on the plains , relates a writer In Forest and Stream , brought In stories of having noen at differ ent times and In different places , und always In the center of a large herd , a white buffalo. They had used their best horses In the effort to overtake It , to no purpose , never being able to get any where near the animal. At Ilrst we did not pay much attention to the. c storle ? , but still It kept cropping up from different camps , and nt last , In the fall of 1S75 , I myself had n. chance to verify the truth of the report. I hud been sent on duty north along the Red Deer river and was camped near n large bund of Blackfeet , who were hunting south of that river. The buffalo had moved north in vast numbers , nnd the prairie was black with them. I had gone out one morning with a party of Blackfeet to see one of their hunts , and also to try nnd kill for myself. My horse was a. peed one , and much faster than any belonging to the Indian hunters. I had trol detached from the party , becoming tired of the slaughter , and must have been at least twenty miles from camp , when I mnclc for a small clump of timber not far off. Intending to build a lire nnd roast n portion of some buffalo meat I had on the saddle with me. As I approached the wood a band of nboui 100 animals burst out of the brush Hiul made off to the south , nnd yes , most certainly , In the middle of them was a white buffalo. Although they were a quarter of a mile away , there cou'd be no mistake about It ; he was there as large as llfu and quite white , and running like a d er. There was no time to much more than take In the scene , but I gatlicrc-U up the reins and was after him , determined to bag that buffalo or kll my hor.se. Oh , what a race It was , mile after mile and although nil the band , with the excep tion of about a dozen , hail sllt off and gone In different directions , the cwhlte animal , with his body guard of about a dozen , kepi at about the same distance ahead. I could catch a K-lmpse of him now and then , ami thc-re wno no doubt he was snow white. Gel within shot I could not. for many miles. Al last they began to tire , and , although m > horse tired nli-o , I had good hopes of comlnp urnnd getting- shot. Abie ! for such a chance. Of a sudden my horse lurched for- iwnrd on his nose , fending me over his head onto the prairie , anil turning a someraull himself , missing me by only n few feet. He bad put his foot Into a badger hole and brought my hopes of a white robe to n sud den cud. DISMAMHNf ! A MI.M.VG EXCHANGE CIilciiKTO Ilonrtl I'rniioHVH to Go Out of HllNlllVNH. CHICAGO , June 17.

He states that the swarm whose t'gW ! arc now hatching In this section ot the state Is the one that left the northeastern corner of Nebraska on August f > , ISti'J. ' They arrived In time to lay their eggs , and It Is a strange fact that In almost every Instance they were laid In fields which had been hailed out during the summer. Prof , Lug ger states that if the farmers will get right after the pestn and use hoppcrdo/.ers freely there Is little danger of thrlr migrating Into other states. The hoppcrdoj.er is , however , only a makeshift to preserve the growing grain. In order to eradicate the pest the plow must bo used. It Is estimated that ) 7,000 eggs will be laid on a square foot of ground. In order to destroy thusc eggij deep plowing must be resorted to by all farmers whose land i arc Infested. If only a part of the land Is plowed the farmer who docs not plow Is guilty of allowing the peel to oprcnd and do incalculable damage another year. Circulars are being sent out to farmcra gen erally by Prof. Lugger , and It Is contem plated that the grasshopper scare will be of brief duration In South Dakota. nitEA.1I DISCLOSES A GOLD MINE.
