THE OMAHA DAILY : FRIDAY , JULY 23. 1807. not only a renewed faith In free Institution ! but a. strengthened determination to llv up to the c high models of duty and pn irlotlim with which the history of ou country richly abounds. Most Kindly do I , ns the humble repr ; ncntiitlve of this commonwealth , accept , I bchnlf of the people , this monument t the memory of ono of Illinois' moM belovo nnd gifted foni. Ami , In accepting thl memorlnl for the great state that Logo BO truly loved and j long served , I shn mnko my few words nccord , PO far ns J cat with the historical lesson * \\hlch the 111 nnd career of John A. Losnn .10 pointed ! teach to the rising generation of Ainer cans. I Blmll not try to giorlfy or to fui thcr rxnlt the name of I.opun. That h lina done for himself beyond any man' ' power to add or to detract. It U nld the greatest statue * rcqulr the least drapery , nnd certainly the gren characters of history can wild very llttl from words nnd phrases of mere culoxj A prent fnmo , which rests upon suprem nchlevcmrnts for mankind , nnd which take hold firmly upon the hearts an I nouls o men , ask * nothing from the lln cl of mer nppech. ThnL tiling called notoriety oftu owes Its existence to what Is U'llttcn an nald , but fame real fame has It" ondurln foundations upon thnt whl' h has been doni It 1 * , Indeed , lilting that we should thu rnthpr from nil iiuailcis of the ft"'e an of the republic to dedicate n incmorli here In the home city of Ucnernl Login among the people , who , In hi * llfctlim knew and loved him a memorlnl whlc Bhall tell to the multitudes who will via : this spot In time to come that thn spirit c pntrlotl-m anil of gratitude Is not wantln In the hearts of the American people. Thl ntntue will tell to nil who wither her that Logan and the great worlt that LOOT did for his counttry and the world ca never bo forgotten In Illinoisor wlthl the llmltH of the great republic ro long n the spirit of civil liberty dwells nmon ; our people. I will tell you briefly , fellow citizen ! vhnt I think this occasion nnd this den : onstratlon really mean. They mean thn John A. Iiogiiii la , In the pub'.lu mind , th very emlioillnient of the militant patrlotlsi of tlie United States ; that ho I * , and wl ever be to the people , tin- greatest of th volunteers In thu cause of nationality an liberty ; the pre-eminent citizen-soldier , th representative , above all otheis , of the vol unteer who fought nnd conquered In th ranks for the union cause. When Logan came to llu- aid of the unlo lie broufiht with him nil the hosts of thl state who lingered In thu bonier land o doubt and distrust. Ills call was like th 5 slogan of Roderick Uhu , anil In It waH th p contagion which biought the great upHslii for the union throughout Illinois. Doul If fled , nnd duty to country arose mipremu , a the ' "tllack JCaglo" of Illinois , armed an mounted for the fray , dasliOd to the fror nnd ca'lled to his bewildered and doubtln countrymen to folllow. He then gave way to the orator of the day George H. I'eck. Mr. I'eck palil an oloqucn tribute to thotsoldlcr-statfHinan with whor. ho served an a coinruuo In arms. Tli epeakcr said : MAN FOR THE IlOUn. Illinois Is proud nnd happy. Waiting pa tlcntly for a fitting time , she open.- ) nil be welcoming gates nnd bids the world talc no-to of what breed of men she rearj. Her Is the product of hrr soil , and hero Bh brings a mother's exultant heart to be en nhrlned. This great city , the lake 'with ' a : HH breadth of waters , the prairlt-H slretchln outward to theM > ? t , and the sky , mlnglln light nnd cloud In an over changing picture are resplendent witnesses of the scene. Th event , the hour and the man are historic. Once , upon a day like this , the pulse c summer was beating hot and fierce , when Kieat leader fell , aw lenders must fall. If I bo so appointed. Some arc here to whor It weins but yesterday. They remember th clustering pines , the thicket" , dark with tli foliage of July , the spires of Atlanta wooln them forward yet a little further , auJi the remember , too , as they will remember al ways , the message , speeding like an urro\ in its Illght , that told how Mcl'horson l.i ; dead In his harness , ere yet hl fame hn passed Its dawn. Surely , I inn not wren In saying that never \vn * this nation I more deadly peril than when the Army o the Tennessee was luft , like some great vuu derlcss ship , In the graup of the storm. "Of what aval : are men , " says Carlylc "when we must needs have a man ? " llu the man came ; nay , be wns already there Hashing , as was his wont , In that imperlou way which scorns to parley iwlth Rite , bu mihdiies It with a glance. On Ihft day- July 22 1SCI John A. Logan was born to Im mortality. Anniversaries are harmonies ; nnd. In ot fwrvlng them , we set hlFlory to music. O that day , npne looked forward to this. Bu time him a magician's hand , and , when I linn transformed real thjpgs Into dreams touches thellreams , and , straightway , the uru real again. Hehold the bronze epic Anna virumquc , to all who shall gaze o these heroic features. Ouf of the past th battle of Atlanta comes buck , distinct an clear , though then but n weltering strug Bio. l ' . . ' The soldier in battle does not , confclousl ; arratrse dramatic situations. When Joh A. Logan , summoned of Ut'.stlny. rode alon those bleeding lines , lionutlful In the dec * onso that makes the heroic always , beaut ful ho little thought of the banners the wave for him today. The real proof of genius Is the manner I which high responsibilities me me Abraham Lincoln , In ino school < BaiiRumon , was hardly a prophecy of hli who became the foremost mnn of all th world. Galena and Appomuttox arc wit apart , but Grant spanned them. The law t growth rules , and only thn e who can rli to occasion are great. Mensine Logan li thl unfailing test and he becomes colossa This day Is dedicated to Logan , at Midler. lie won it from the calendar , an made it his own. Hut , In the midst of a its pageantry , we mtwt not forget that 1 was a statesman in the most trying1 tlmi of our history. He , more than any other , created t ) Grand Army of the Republic ; that orpnnlz : tlon which makes us remember what \v nro prone to forget. Horn his form wl sleep forever , guarded by them nnd hv the ; who follow them. 1 greet you , comrade t : who now again attest your fealty to h great name and to the nation , for whos honor you so often followed him to victor ; It was he who save us the sweet ii'isy' ttnco of Memorial day. Only n poet coui have thought It ; only a poet could hn\ made It come true. It is , bcyDud01 other our best loved holiday ; our festival < memory , love nnd beauty. Wo shall kec It forever , with nil the ( lowers that gro upon prairies and In gardens ana on moui tain side * . And there will be tears. Is It not something to remcmbjr , wim thing to be proud of forever , that , in th great ceremony , those who followed ai other flag than Ills have come to pay the tribute to the great citizen-soldier ? Mo of the south , the Grand Army 'welcome you ; the Loyal Legion -n-elcomes yoi Illinois welcomes you , and all the nort greets you with an open hand. Unive me cannot hate forever , An you come to mingle your love wit ours for the hero who fought you so bravel thirty-three yearn ago this very hour , ever union fxildler Is thankful that ho has live to see such omem of the future. Sldi > u Bide we march today nnd nil the Innd bi holds how well blue and gr.iv be > ome enc other , when , toifuther. they bear the . .a of union , liberty nnd pence. PAHADE FOLLOWS.

South Omaha News . ° v2P2i ? : > SP2 ? A prominent olllclal of one of the loc.i banks said yesterday that with Judlclou management. South Omaha would bo in firs clnsa condition financially within two it-an The coming of Armour haa advanced th prlco of ieal estate , and land which coul not have beer given away a short time ag la being eagerly taught after by Invcaton At the next assessment the valuation wl ! bo raised considerable by th addition of th Armour plant and the Improvements cause by the locating of another packing house. In IS'JC the four packing houses and th stock yards were assessed at $ : ! 3 ,100. Thl year the total assessment of these corpon tlona was raised to $271,090 , an Increase c $32,500. This Increase Is not an large as th corporations expected and It Is probable tha .1 further Increase will be made next yeai Counting Armoiir's'nsMcssmeut next year th BUHIO aa Cudahy'H will bring the valuatlo of the packing houses and stock yards up t $376,000. In addition to this there will t ) Improvements all over the city which wl without doubt bring the total valuation ute to $2,000,000. AS'Ith such a valuation th city could pay current expenses very ulcel on a 40 mill levy. Many cddlttoual Improvements will nccw snrlly follow the additions to the city. Th police and fire departments will have to L enlarged , considerable grading will have t bo done , crosswalks laid and addition : elcctt Ic lights wlll.be needed , Some of the members of the city counc arc in favor of establishing a sinking fun to take care of the bonded Indebtedness. O a valuation of $2,000,000 a 3 mill slnkln fund would bring Into the treasury severa thousand dollars , enough In all probablllt to provide for maturing Indebtedness , th Interest of coutsu beiug paid out ot a lev made for that purpose. In connection with prosperity the talk c building a city ball Is again resumed. Ever olllclal of the city admits the need of a cit building. It Is estimated that a very credli able city building could be constructed fc $10,000. Provision could then be made fc police headquarters , jail and one flro coir pany , besides a council chamber and office ! The city would save a largo amount annuall which is now paid out In rent , the savin more than paying the Interest on city ha bonds. _ , Stock Ynrils ( Joint ; AMrr Huslnrss. Superintendent James L. Paxton of tli Union Stock Yards company left ycsterda afternoon for a trip through Utah and Idali In the Interest ot the company. The bhlj ping of range cattle will soon commence an It is the Intention of the officials of the sloe yards company to carry the light Into th enemy's country and If possible increase th receipts at this market. A. II. Lee , one ot the traveling represent ! lives of Iho company , has Just returned froi an eastern trip and will start Sunday fc South Dakota. A representative of the coir pauy will be sent Into competitive terrltor and will boom the South Omaha market. With two cattle loan companies In th field , farmers will have no difficulty In pn curing all the money necessary to purchas feeders. The majority of the range cattl shipped to this point will be sold to Ni braska and Iowa farmers OB feeders. Tli two cattle loan companies are both htistlin for business nnd any responsible fnrme can bo accommodated. Bach company he plenty of money , which Is loaned at reasoi able rates. The difficulty heretofore hns bee the scarcity of money at this point and fc that reason It was difficult to dispose < feeder stock. Now all corners can besuj plied. Besides the two loan companies all i the banks here handle cattle paper , as d also the banks In Omaha nnd Council Bluffi The stock yards company la going rlgl after this business and will make every e fort possible to turn shipments this wa ; Last year a large number of shippers fro ! competltlvo territory tried this market c au experiment and were MJ well satisfied the they promised to return this year.

The names of 2,480 persons nppen on the records as the owners of this amour of property. This would make , It equall divided , the sum of $ H5.fiO for each ot th 2,480 persons. A largo number of person In the city nro single men living In boardln bouses , who have not been tisscbsed b Major Cress or hlg assistants. So many err ployes of the packing bouses are what mlgl be termed transients , as they como and gi working In one packing center a short Urn and then moving on to the next.

EXCLUDES PUBLIC FROM OFFICIAL RECORD Information of AITnlrn In UN Olllu Can On ! > HiSi'i'iirril When Ap plication IM .Miulc In Our Form tn Him. LINCOLN. July 22. ( Special. ) State At : dltor Cornell has Issued an order which I causing no llttlo Inconvenience to the publl and has occasioned some surprise In officli and political circles. The new order Is tha hereafter his deputies will not be allowed t give out any Information or answer any trues tlons regarding the business or olllclal record ot the office , nnd that any potsons deslrln to see any of the records must go nnd m.ik the request ot the auditor himself , and ex plain what U wanted nnd the reasons fo wanting to see therecord. . As the audlto attends to very little ot the actlvo ofilc work. Is otten out ot the city , and when n the statehouse spends most ot his time I Ma private office , It can well bo Imagine that under such a rule the public will hav very llttlo opportunity to consult the rec ords nnd the means of gaining Informatlo will bo limited. The order referred to wa made Immediately after the auditor's retur from his trip to Crlpplo Creek , and thcr am several theories as to why It was Issuec Ono Is that he had placed his wife on th pay roll of the office , Intending to keep th matter secret , and was much dlsappolntc to find that It was made public during hi absence. The auditor Is said to have bee very angry over this , and hinted that h would dismiss the clerk who gave the awk ward news to papers. H was , howevei pointed out to him that Mrs. Cornell's salar voucher wa < recorded In the office of th secretary of state and also In the treasurer1 office , in both of which places It was ope to the public , and that It could not be ex peeled to remain long a secret. There Is another reason for the 111 tempo of the auditor -when he returned from Cole rado. Ho went out there on a secret mis slon , not even telling his chief deputy ot hi destination. At Table Rock he met tw speculators from Falls City , and the thrc went , to Cripple Creek together. These fact became public the next day , and as It wa known that the Falls City men were dat bllng In mining stock. It was at once sui mlsed that they were trying to Induce th auditor to try his luck In their scheme : While the auditor has seemingly paid no al tentlon to thcso stories since his return , I could not be concealed that he was grcatl worried ovet the publicity of the Colorad trip. STATE HOUSE GOSSIP. Superintendent Jayncs ot the Omaha i Minneapolis road wired the governor's offic at noon today , giving the news of the capture turo of a train by tramps at Tekamah , am asking that the governor adopt measure at once to disperse the mob. Hoth the gov ernor and lieutenant governor were absen from the city , and Secretary Marct callei up the sheriff of Hurt county by tclephon to inquire Into the situation. That ofilcla did not think the affair warranted an calling out of the militia , and pending tut ther news of the trouble the state official decided to take no action. Hon. A. E. Sheldon brought his wife' remains down from Chadron this evenlnf and the funeral will be held at Denton tc morrow at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Sheldon will lj burled in tlie cemetery on the old home stead , where she lived as a little girl thirt ; yearn ago. Edward Johnson , who was convicted o burglary In the district court of Dougla county May ' 4 and wa ? sentenced to si years In the penitentiary , was granted suspension of sentence today , pending a re view of the case by the supreme courl Johnson's attorney 'makes twenty-two epecl flcations ot error ou the part of the trln court. The Enterprise Ditch company of Qerlnf Neb. , has brought an Interesting case t the supreme court. From the brief lilei today it is learned that the company wa organized In 1SS9 , and was composed ot number of farmers who owned and farme their own land , and who desired to put ii an Irrigating ditch to furnish water fo their farms. Each farmer took stock ac cording to the ? amount of land he had t water , the etock was assessed to pay ex penses , and the ditch was put In operatic that sarao year. For several years thl mutual plan worked without friction , untl an outsider gained possession of some of th stock. The new stockholder desired t change the plan and operate the ditch n a speculation , to which the old stockholder objected. Litigation came on , and severa injunctions were obtained preventing th company from operating the ditch on th old plan. Th old Btockholders came to th supreme court for relief , and ask to hav the Injunctions dissolved. LINCOLN NOTES. Word has been received from Boston an nounclug the marriage of Dr. E. L.

KANSAS CITV. July 22.- The local pockIng - Ing homes are laying up extra stores of coal. Swift and Company and Jacob Dold & Co. have begun putting In extra supplies as fast as possible. The Armour Packing company is loading coal Into all the available coal space about Its docks. It hjs already re ceived about 150 carloads , enough to supply It for about seven days. Although coal U becoming very scarce , prices lo regular cus tomers have not yet gone up.The rall- loads , taking advantage of Die privilege the government gives them , are already appro priating for their own USD some of the coal shipped Into Kansas City. Thay are re ported to have seized for their own use about SOO carloads so far , which they are loading and nailing up In box cars. In the Hannibal rallioad yards three long fitrings of flat cars , loaded to the brim with soft coal , tf and on tracks beside empty box cars. Forty or fifty negroes are nt work shoveling the conl Into the long lines of box cars. It Is believed the coal thus trans ferred Is for secret shipment In the closed cars to railways * In the fuel famine regions of the cast. "What does all this work mean ? " asked a man of one of the laborers this after noon. "It means , " replied the man gravely , "the breaking up oC the strike In the east. " "Is this conl going them ? " "You bet It Is , " came the answer quickly. "Of course It Is not billed there from here. " "This coal la sent down to Cnrrollton , " con tinued the man , "for Instance , and then billed to uume point a little further east. The rcabon this Is done Is to gradually maku It lose its Identity. " The Uurllngton bought SOO cars of coal last week. The coal that Is transferred In the company's yards Is shoveled from Missouri Pacific & Memphis flat cars to Uurllngton & Missouri River and Cnlcago , Ilurllngtou & Qulncy box cars.
