( gram. ) The remarkable etrlke of free gold
made nlno miles southwest of this city last
I < rlclny .by Leo and Charles Carr , two
ranchers , Is turning out to bo 'better ' than
nt first reported. The ere vein Is about
fourteen Inches wide and has been stripped
for a distance of sixty feet. From ono
place nt the Intersection of two points nug
gets ns largo ns hickory nuts have been
taken out and largo chunks of rock almost
wild with gold stringers have been broken
loose. Your correspondent was shown some
sireclmcns of rock which contained a dozen
TloccB of gold larger than Lima beans. The
; veIn has been traced by Its outcropplngs
half ft mlle and ground ban been staked for
two miles In all directions from the strike.
The Carr brothers and their father have
staked out cloven claims In ono group. A
great many from nil points of the Hills
have stampeded to the gulch. A new-
York party offered the discoverers $25,000
for the mlno , but was refused , Representa
tives are to oxamlno the find. The average
value mt the vein Is placed at $1,500 and
assays have been obtained as high as $155-
000 par ton of gold. It Is considered the
Hchret strike over mode In the southern

PIERRE , S. D. , May 21. ( Special. ) The
"holders of the Madison normal bonds ,
amounting to $35,000 , duo In 1302 , have
definitely refused to surrender them with
out the payment of a premium by the state.
The holders of the $30,000 of constitutional
bonds , yet outstanding , which do not be-
omo duo until 1910 , have agreed to surren
der them after July 1. There Is upward of
$100,000 now on hand In the bond interest
and sinking fund and Treasurer Shambcr Is
using every effort to secure the surrender
of toonds not yet due. The main trouble In
this direction appears to bo n demand on
the part of the holdcm for a premium for
Ihclr surrender. While the treasurer does

the attorney general for an opinion on that
phaeo of handling bonds.
Heavy Cattle Shipment.
PI11RRE , S. D. , May 21. ( Special. ) The
heaviest shipment of cattle for any ono day
this spring arrived Friday , when over 1,200
young cattle w'ere received by special train.
Besides these shipments over 400 head were
driven In from the east on the same day. The
receipts so far this spring are between 6,000
and 7,000 head , Ith many shipments yet
to come , ns the arrival of stock began late
in the season on account of cold weather
making grass slow In starting. . One feature
of- the shipments this spring Is that none
of them remain for any great length of
tlmo In the yards , all being taken up about
as rapidly as < received.

CHEYENNE , Wyo. , May 21. ( Special. )
State Examiner Henderson has prepared n
statement of the condition of the private
banks of Wyoming at the close of business
April 5. The aggregate deposits upon that
date wore $913,038.30 , a decrease from the
December , 1898 , statement of $71,000.
This decrease was caused by the withdrawal
of funds to carry on the sheep shearing
work. The deposits are $80,000 greater than
In 'April ' , 1898. The loans nnd discounts
show an Increase over the December state
ment of $60,000.

CASPER , Wyo. , May 21. ( Special. ) The
estimated wool clip of Casper and vicinity
for this year Is 3,700,000 pounds , -which Is
about 100,000 pounds short of last year's
clip. The shortage Is accounted for by the
fact that this year's "wool Is much cleaner
than that of last year. The quality of the
wool put on the market this spring has
never been better. With few exceptions
It Is very clean , and Is long In texture and
staple. Prices have ranged from 11 to 12
cents ,

KroNN ( Aid the Monument Puml.
Congress decided to take a somewhat Indirect - j
direct way cf helping the project to erct
a monument to Lafayette In Paris as a gift
of the American people. Instead of paying a |
j sum of money to the monument com mis- ]
' sloners , relates Youth's Companion , congtess
j voted $25,000 to buy silver bullion , which |
will bo coined Into "Lafayette dollars" nnd :
thcso will bo turned over to the commission. I
Sliver U now so low that $25,000 will buy |
enough to make $50,000 coins of the
standard weight and fineness , brnldcs payIng -
Ing the Incidental expenses of designing
and coining. Thcso dollars thus limited In
numbt-r to 50,000 the commissioners bellovo
will bo quickly taken up by coin collectors
at $2 each. This Is the price It Is proposed
to charge for them. So what costs the gov
ernment $25,000 may yield $100,000 for the
monument. It will yield certainly more
than $50,000.
Engravers are already at work on designs
for these coins. They will probably bear |
on ono side a llkcncso of Liifayette. For I
the other side , a number of subjects have i
been proposed. It has been suggested that I
a etiolation from some address of Lafay- I
otto's , Inscribed upon the coin , would bo '
highly appropriate. The closing sentences !
of his address to congress on his early visit I
to the United States" would admirably servo
this purpose. Ho then said :
"May the prosperity and happiness of the
United States attest to the advantages of
their Government. May the great temple
which we have Just erected to liberty always
bo a lesson to oppressors , an example to
the onnressed , and a refuge for the rights
of the human race. "
Just after the surrender of York town La
fayette wrote to Vergennes : "My great
affair Is settled. America Is sure of her
Independence ; humanity has gained ita
cauao and liberty will never bo without a
refuge. " His own words fitly represent the
man and fully Justify a generous expression
of the nation's appreciation of his unselfish
service and loyal friendship.
Profit Shurlnn.
Profit-sharing of a unique character has
been established In connection with the
operation of a laundry trust In Plttsburg.
Droadly sketched , the company will put
aside $100,000 of Its capital to be used for
the benefit of Its employes. Upon entering
the employment of the company there will
be placed to the credit of each driver $1,000
of this stock , and at the end of each year of
service $100 will become absolutely his. In
ten years he becomes the possessor of $1,000
worth of stock. The earnings of this stock
thus set aside , while undistributed , will bo
placed In a relief fund to be disbursed by
the employes to such of their number as
from sickness or accident require aid , and
subject to rules to be established by the
employes themselves. Upon the death of a
beneficiary the value of his earned stock
will be paid to his dependent relatives. More
consideration Is shown for the drivers than
for the other employes , because the drivers
have to face all kinds of weather , but the
other employes , nearly all of whom are girls ,
are not overlooked. These will be cared for
when they are 111 , buried if they die , and be
given a dowry when they marry , the amount
of the marriage portion to depend upon'the
profits of the trust.
The Philadelphia Press prints a dispatch
from Cairo , Egypt , saying that M. Georges
Legraln has found two remarkable statues
In the ruins of the temple at Karnak. Ono
Is alabaster and represents the great Thebau
god Ammon. It" is eighteen feet high and
was originally made from ono solid block
of stone , the largest alabaster statue In the
world. It was found In three pieces which
were caslFy put together. The artistic fin
ish Is perfect. The second statue Is ono
that was set by King Usertcson I , In honor
of his father , back lu the days of Abraham.
On the lap of this effigy Is a slab upon
which are carved Inscriptions showing the

son in OMAHA NEWS :
Complaints are made almost dally about j
Ihe high board fence which extends out Into ,
the street In front of the new postoflleo ,
building. A short time ago the attention I
Df Congressman Mercer was called to tha j
fact that little or no effort was being made
to hasten the work so that the fence could
be removed. For many mcntha pedestrians
have been compelled to walk on the pave
ment In passing along Twenty-fourth street
nnd the muddy condition of the thoroughfare
at this point makes It very disagreeable.
As soon as the frost was out of the ground
the contractors who have the laying of the
concrete sidewalk In charge reset the dresseJ
stone curb line nnd commenced excavating
for the sidewalk. Heavy rains Interrupted
this work and made the earth so soft that
It was not considered practicable to lay
macadam until the ground had dried out.
It Is possibly a good thing that the ma
cadam was not laid , for a portion or tne
ground at the southeast corner of the build
ing has caved In slightly. Contractor Lena-
ban said a day or two ago that as soon as
the ground dried a little he would nil In
this depression and tamp It thoroughly. The
work of laying the sidewalk would then bo
pushed ns rapidly ns possible. Superintend
ent Cramer has advertised that the fence
which now surrounds the building will bo
sold to the highest bidder next Saturday.
It U hardly probable that the fence will bfc
removed on that date , as the laying of the
walks cannot bo completed by that tlmo.
AVork on AViiNlinitlM.
As soon as the rain ceases and the streets
dry up a little Street Commissioner Kosa
will commence work on the numerous wash
outs. Considerable money will have to be
spent to repair the damage done , regardless
of the fact that the street repair fund Is
not In a very , flourishingcondition. . Owing
to the condition of the unpavcd streets , every
heavy rain docs moro or less damage , and
the street department Is kept busy for about
a week after every heavy rain.
Iy ) the use of a road machine , It Is thought
that a great deal of expense could bo saved
and the repair work done In a much better
manner. It Is also asserted that a machine
would keep the streets In a-much better
condition than they now are. Those who
have had experience In road work assert
that a machine , If properly used , keeps
the roads well rounded up , thus allowing
and gutters.

NEW PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
Horn Aitny ivltli Old Plan of HolilliiK
I'rlinni-len niitl ( liven Them I > | R-
ulty of ( ieuernl KleutloiiN.
The VanDusen primary election law , passed
by the legislature at Us recent session , prac
tically docs away with the old plan of pri
maries and gives them dignity of general
elections. However , the law docs not be
come operative this year , so that It will
have not effect upon the primaries this fall.
Senator VanDuson's bill that ha worked
through the legislature provides that the
primaries held In this state by the various
parlies shall bo conducted In the same man
ner and form and under the same general
requirements as these for holding state elec
tions. Any act or deed denounced an offense
by the laws of the state concerning clcctlous
shall also bo an offense In all primary elec
tions and shall bo punished In the same
manner and form as provided for the pun
ishment of similar offenses by the laws of
the state.
The method of giving notice of the holdIng -
Ing of a primary election under the provi
sions of the now law Is such that these who
run may read. Twenty notices must bo
posted lu as many public places In the
county , designating the tlmo nnd place when
such election will bo held. These primary
elections nro called by the commltlccmen
of the respective parties and when held the
polls nra to remain open from noon until 7
o'clock In the evening of that day. That
there may be no mistake about thu parties
voting at such elections , the books will des
ignate the party wllh which the /otcr pro
poses to affiliate. Of course a voter does not
Imvo to answer this question , but It ho docs
answer and at the election or prior thereto
during the campaign ho Is caught training
with some other political party , then nnd
lu that event his friends Know whcro to
find him.
In the new law there la a provision for
tbe ro5l3tnai.lon of those who nro' absent
from .he . state or sick. In order to register
the applicant must swear that lip has re
sided In the precinct for twenty days prior
to the data of the election. This affidavit
must bo supported by the affidavits of two
resident freeholders , who must explain why
the applicant did not register nnd they must
also swear to the politics of the applicant.
The primary election board of each politi
cal party shall consist of two Judges and ono
clerk , to bo selected by a ma
jority vote of the county central committee.
The duties required of these election officials
are similar to the duties of officers of a gen
eral election and shall be paid by the com
mittee under whoso authority such primary
Is held. The county central committee of
each party shall fix the precinct boundaries
and the ballots shall be under the same re
strictions as these used at a general elec
tion. The primaries shall bo governed by
the law regulating the holding of elections
under the provisions of the Australian bal
lot law.
That there may bo fairness In the selec
tion of Judges and clerks , all parties who
are candidates for office shall submit a list
of names to the county central committee
and from this list the commltteeraen shall
select the officials , dividing them as nearly
equal as possible among the candidates for
the different offices. Each election official
must be a resident of the precinct for which
ho Is appointed and must bo n qualified
elector. . , yi - *
Senator VnnDusen , who is the recognized
leader of the law , says "that he Is of the
opinion that this measure will cure all of
the defects that have heretofore been so
prominent at the primaries. He thinks that
it will result In doing away with the ward
politicians , as the restrictions are such that
they will be shorn of their power aud pres

OrltlclHiu of the Illhle.
Rev. Edward F. Trefz preached laet night
'Memorial church on a theme
at Kountze '
connected with the present agitation over
the criticism of the Bible. Ho charged the
agnostics , the skeptics and others who would
do away with the Blblo as the ono Book
of life with robbing mankind of all that
makes life worth living or that furnishes
it with any Inspiration , nnd substituting
nothing. Ho asked that the Bible be not
considered ns a historical work or as a
scientific work , neither of which It was
Intended tobe , but ns the Infallible guide
to bettor and higher life. In that lay Its
Infallibility nnd Its Inerrancy ; not In the
words and phraseology In which it clothed
Its .message , which had passed through the
hands of all the transcribers who had handed
It down thrc\igh the ages. The Bible , then ,
was a book for the Inspiration cf men and
for their guidance. Ao such' It had never
failed and as such It would never fall , ns
long as there were passions In the human
heart , as long as men cast their eyes up
ward.

.AMUSEMENTS.
The vaudeville bill offered at the Crolgh-
ton-Orpheum this week Is well up to the
standard of this theater and the eight acts
that comprise It furnish two hours and n
half of very acceptable amusement. The
four hits are Hoylo nnd Oraham , the Mlsscn
Cookc and Clinton , Lewis nnd Klllott and
Arthur Amsileu. Hoylo nnd Graham offer a
farce comedy sketch that beams with
funnylsms of nn hilarious character. Miss
Oraham does a character Impersonation of
a country girl that Is almrst Identical with
that done by Iloso Melville , who was seen
hero recently with Matthews & llulger.
Hoth Mlis Oraham nnd Miss Melville claim
to bo the originator of the character. How
ever , Miss Melville Is so much the better
Impersonator of It that Miss Oraham would
bo wise not to essay It anywhere that the
former has been seen.
Misses Caoke nnd Clinton offer n shooting
act unllko anything ever seen hero before.
They accomplish some remarkable feats of
target practice with 22-callbor Winchester
rlllcs , among which Is the playing of a solo
upon an upright metallic xylophone by
shooting nt the keys Instead of striking
them with the usual hammers used for thlj
purpose.
Arthur Amsden Is a musical monologlst of
rare ability who plays on a varied assortment
of Instruments. Ono of the most remarkable
things ho docs Is to play a cornet duet , playIng -
Ing upon two comets at the same tlmo. This
Is exceedingly difficult and Mr , Amsden Is
the only musical artist who has ever ac
complished It , Ho also docs some very clever
clarionet tonguolng ,
Lewis and Elliott made a hit In1 a bright
and witty talking net. Favor and Sinclair
offered a sketch entitled "A High Holler , "
In wblch Homo clever character work was
done , otherwise the net consisted principally
of "horse play. "
Clarice Vance , a southern melody singer ,
the Do llollcn brothers , horizontal bar per
formers , and the Lo Moyno trio of acrobats
complete the bill.
The management of the Trocadcro theater
has so far kept Its promise to present vaude
ville bills of average merit throughout.
This week's bill is even better than Its
predecessor nnd was enjoyed by two crowds
Sunday that were limited In size only by
the capacity of tha theater. There are
six acts upon the bill and not one Is the
least bit tiresome. Fllson and Errol are the
headllners and their sketch , "A Trip on the
Derby , " is ono of the brightest llttic pieces
of comedy writing that has been seen hero
In some tlmo nnd It is exceedingly well In
terpreted by thcso very clever artists. Next
In point of merit Is the comedietta presented
by Carl Smith Scarlo and the Misses Lleb ,
entitled "Tho Hypnotist. " It was written
by Mr. Smith himself , who Is remembered as
formerly having been leading man for the
Woodward Stock company In this city , and
gives him an excellent opportunity to display
his talents as a really artistic performer.
The Misses Lleb offer him praiseworthy
support. Ono of them possesses a remark
ably sweet soprano volco of rare quality ,
which she uses to advantage in singing sev
eral very pretty'ballads which make dis
tinct hits.
Murphy and Hall are Celtic entertainers
of ability. The former does a very clover
Impersonation of that well-known Irish co
median Johnny Ray , while Miss Hall offers
a ballet dance that wins for her a generous
amount of applause. The Brothers Van are
musical artists of ability. They play popu
lar selections of the day upon many different
Instruments , Interspersing therewith com
edy , some of which would not be missed.
Another Irish team Is Ben Fox nnd Mlnnlo
Summers , whose sketch , entitled "Tho Irish
Rehearsal , " seemed to please the audience.
James McAvoy , with his quaint stories and
new parodies , completes the bill.
Nearly 100 doga , over two-scoro ponies ,
a dozen or so monkeys nnd an elephant ,
In miniature , comprise the company of ani
mal actors which Prof. Gentry will present ,
to the children , animal lovers and amuse
ment-goers of Omaha all of the ensuing
week. For several years this attraction
has met with the greatest success wherever
It has exhibited. This season It has been
enlarged and bettered in every department.
The old acts have 'been ' carefully eliminated
from the program and new and original
ones substituted which possess the charm
nf novelty.
The tcnta are pitched at Eighteenth and
Douglas streets. Performances wl'l bo given
nightly , commencing this evening , at 8:15 ,
with matinees daily at 2:30 : p. m. , commenc
ing tomorrow. The street parade will otart
from the show grounds at 11 o'clock this
morning and tour the business portion of
the city.
