Ten thousand Mormons settled tempo

being agitated by Stephen A. Douglas. The

Homestead Bill Brings Settlers.
The great Issue of freedom and slavery
was before congress In Washington. All
compronilr.es had failed, all truces had
lieen broken. The question whether these
broad prairies should be slave or free be
came one if the real Issues In the nation.
After the war. congress having granted
free homes to those who saw fit. to live In
this wild primeval waste, the first settlers,
the sturdy old pioneers, the men who had
saved the union, loaded their families Into
the prairie schtonera and dotted the broad
prairies of Nebraska with their shanties
and sod houses. This was the beginning of
permanent settlement. It, was of these that
Whittier wrote:
"We cross the prairies as of old our fath
ers crossed the sea
To make the west as they the east, the
homestead cf the free."
Events began to happen rapidly: The
territory began to develop, the Union Pa
cific railroad was built, Thomas Cuming,
who niadf) Omaha the capital of Nebraska,
succeeded Francis Burt, who died eleven
days after arrival at Bellevue. The usual
hardships of pioneer life followed, but still
the tide of emigration pressed on. The
valleys of the Blue, Elkhorn and Loup
were soon sprinkled with the settlers' log
cabins.
Bofore state rule came on Governor Alvln
Saunders was appointed by President Abra
ham Lincoln as the last governor of this
territory. His son is an honored member
of this legislature.
Out of this sparsely settled country two
regiments of soldiers were furnished to
the government. General John M. Thayer
and Colonel Robert W. Furnas were In
command of these regiments.
The Nebraska of today beat little re
semblance to the Nebraska of that period.

Good Chance for Annexation.
Friends of the bill which provides for
the consolidation of the cities of Omaha and
South, Omaha are receiving much encour
agement and believe now they will be able
to puss the bill through the house. Harvey
stands sponsor for the bill, which the dele
gation will endeavor to pass, and he was
badly wanted in the house thia afternoon
to help out a portion of the delegation, on
a general boost for the measure, but It Is
presumed his duties held him In Omaha.
Mike .Lee secured another convert to the
cause, and since the appearance of the
delegation from "South Omaha asking for
annexation friends of the bill have been
greatly encouraged.

WASHINGTON, March 4-Ona of the
last official acts of Mr. Cortelyou as post
master general was tho Issuance of the fol
lowing order:
Whenever the weight of mall Is taken on
railroad routes the whole number of days
the malls are weighed shall be used as a
dlvlscr for obtaining the average weight
per day.
It Is the custom to weigh the malls every
four years for ninety successive "working
days." The weight of the malls carried on
Sundays being Included, the total number
of days the mall weight actually was taken
aggregated 108 In the three months' weigh
ing. Instead of dividing the total for Ihs
105 days by 106 to obtain the average dally
weight, It was divided by 80. the number of
"working days." This ssytem waa of im
mense advantage to the railroads, as, by it
their daily weight cn which they were paid
by the government was Increased mater
ially. Hereafter under today's order the actual
number of days for which the weight of
mall Is taken will be used as the divisor.
so that If a railroad carries mall seven days
each week. Its dally average weight Will
be determined by the Inclusion of Sundays

Indications that Resnlt Will Bo

KANSAS CITT, March 4.-(8peclal 'Tele
egTam.) Although President D. M. Bhively
of the Western Base Ball association will
not admit that Topeka is to become the
property of the Western league, the In
ference is drawn that his association Is
about to lose the best paying city in Its
Itinerary.
After being shown a dispatch from Chi
cago stating that Topeka had been awarded
to the Western league, Shlvely acknowl
edged that President O'Neill would shortly
forward a check to cover the draft price
of Topeka and that upon Its receipt he
would call a meeting of Western association
magnates to determine what should be
done In regard to the proposition.
Following Shlvrly'e assertion that under
no circumstances would he allow Topeka
to be drafted Into faster company, today's
statement looks as If the Western asso
ciation president had undergone a change
of opinion.
Since Saturday's conference at Buffalo,
O'Neill has been quoted repeatedly as hav
ing been awarded Topeka. Shlvely, on the
other hapd, asserts -that the matter la still
open and will not be finally acted upon
for some days. His acknowledgement that
he will shortly call a meeting of magnates
to consider O'Neill's proposition Is taken to
mean that there Is every prospect of To
peka being lost to the Western assocla-
lon. Should this be the case, the out
look for Shlvely's organisation seemsL. ex
tremely gloomy, there being no equally
desirable city to take the place of To
peka. It probably will mean that the
Western association will become a six-club
league.
TWO BIG JOBS FOR BURNS
Matches with Jim Pnrr and
Matt
Simmer Ahead of Farmer
This Week. -
Omaha's first international wrestling
match of Importance will be held at the
Auditorium Tuesday night hnd, Judging
from the numerous Inquiries which are
coming from all neighboring towns, the big
structure will be taxed to hold the crowd.
When Farmer Burns and Jim Parr meet
at the Auditorium the sport-loving public
of Omaha will see two men who should be
about as equally matched aa It Is possible
for a matchmaker to arrange.' Burns Is
without a peer at the catch-ns-catch-can-style,
excepting Frank Gotch. who Is a
pupil of Burns but Parr la a younger man
nnd a trifle more active, and may be able
to wear Farmer Burns out may be, only.
The wrestling game has caught on In
great shape In Omaha and will continue to
hold the publlo as long as Manager Glllan
can get the best wrestlers and matches
them well.
"If I am to wrestle at Creston Thursday
I don't know It" was Farmer Burns' re
mark - on reading the story that
he was to wrestle Matt Simmer
at Creston, la., Thursday. "But if The
Bee says so. It must be so. and so I will
wrestle Simmer there Thursday night.
Thursday nlght-let me see, I wrestle here
Tuesday night oh, yes, that will give me
plenty of , time to reacn creston. i u oe
there." ,
In this careless' sort of way the old vet
eran treated the . matter. To wrestlo Hhe
champion of Kngland and wrestle a man
weighing 250 pounds, eighty pounds more
than himself, two nights later, was to mm
merely a matter of time time enough to
get from Omaha to Creston. This for
man 46 vears of acre.
"I could nut 200 Farmer Burns to work
If I had them," he added. "They are book
ing me at so many places.
An eastern Arm offers bhi cents apiece for
crows. Here Is a chance for the hunters
to get rich, for a shell costs but 4 cents, so
there is a clear profit of 14 cents per crow,
Nebraska hunters are honor again that
the quail season was not entirely cut off
by the astute legislature. Many argue wen
that a short open season Is better than a
closed reason for the birds themselves.
Danny Shay of Stockton is now said to
ontect to the salary offered mm ny isew
York and may not sign for the coming
season. It's a good thing fcr a working
man to be able to turn down an offer Just
because It la made.
