Plains.
Of the four great getaways to the
waat. EL Paul. Minneapolis, Omaha 'and
Kaasaa Ctty, "Omaha wu the flrat-to
attala pre-eminence which It has never
really yielded." 80 wrltaa Edward
Hiingerford In the flrst of his papers
on 'Rediscovering the West" la Harper
Weekly. Stopping the customary few
minutes to admire the "florid archi
tectural style" of the Transfer building.
Its faded floriea and historic mmorta
the writer crossed the river over "the
most profitable three-mile stretch of
track In the land,' for "beyond the Mis
souri Ilea the real west" and penned
the Impressions at Omaha and Its bib
tary territory: ' .
If you have time to waste, do not
eoaw to Omaha, It has ao provision
for the dilettante. The hotel dark shakes
his head sadly when yon demand a
Jlvller outdoor amusement than the 000
tlnusl park ran In an automobile or a
dosen holes at golf. Omaha Is a business
tows, and aha thinks and has her very
breathing In the totals of her banking
houses and her great wholesale stores.
True It Is that she has borrowed a leaf
or two from the knowledge-book of
neighboring Kansas City and started for
herself a most charitable system of parks
and boulevards. - But she boasts no Nob
Hill as yet When her elUsens get rich
they move-either east te big metro
politan cities like New Tork or Chicago,
or west to such luxurious colonies as
Pasadena or Colorado Springs. Until
then they stay at their desks and work
eighteen hour a day.
Remladed Hiss at Home.
And yet they do tell of an Omaha man
who turned his back upon the setting sun
and traveled east for two days and two
. nights. And when that journey was
done ha was In a great city by the At
lantic seaboarda city that for genera
tions has prided herself upon her ex
cesslv culture. Her townsmen took the
gentleman from Omaha well In 1
They showed him the Frog Pood and
the crooked est streets In any civilised
place on the continent They filled him
with beans and with codfish, tickled his
palate with the finest Uedford rum. He
mingled and ha browsed, and before they
were don with him his herbaria soul
became enraptured.
"Boston Is great" h admitted, frankly.
Then In an afterthought he added:
"1 think that 1 should like to call her
th Omaha of the East"
Omaha. Ilk some other western towna
has paid within the past two decades
th full Density of her own boastfulnee.
Back In UN she thougot It exceeding
mart to announce to a Breathless and
waiting world that she had attained a
population of men) persona Th -r.st&ods
used toward ths accomplishment of that
astounding total will bear no repetition
her. It Is sufficient now to say that
th census of U0wsa accurst and tavei
her an actual population count of 102, av
a very bitter Bill. Indeed, foe th west
bank of tba Missouri. Th censes f
Ml, likewise exceeding accurate, was
better. , It showed Omaha pmssssnd of
13,(0) population and a growing, bustling,
energetic, and. above all. a truthful city. 'yrriy y.y niTrri mTTTJ tjvjtv.
That Is the lessoa that th west ha, IUAfl HA I OAlfl lUXl lfluUllo
begun to team th leak of real value
iu bald population statistic. True it Is
that Los Angeles confronts th stranger
bound toward her e-etea with 'TLosXn
geles, IMA Xjfl.ooo: 13. L0W.M": ud the
talks of that southern California town
reiterate that most specific boast at
every, possible opportunity. But Los
Angels Is Lm miles from Omaha and
might learn a deal from th town beside
the Missouri. Th more oonsBtvativ of
these western towns, such aa Portland,
to make a single Instance, do not worry
about the population reports from the
census bureau. They point with a keener
pride toward the clearing house balance
and the traffic reports of the railroads
and steamship Unas; they are even begin
ning to display such mundan things as
dean tree's, soda welfar clubs, ad
mirable dvie administrations th things
that brings administration not alone from
the hardened hearts of easterners but
from those even more state folk who come
oversets before they reach New Tork.
Lead ef Tojaterrww.
West from Omaha, "and the entrance
Into the land of tomorrow la wall begun.
Th railroad, following th fashion of
other railroads, baa begun to ravins and
rebuild Its line. Where In other days It
first wound south from th Omaha sta
tion and the great Missouri liver bridge
that connects It with Ita legal tannine
at Council Bluffs, so aa to avoid ths
great rolling hills that Una th yellow
stream, today H strikes du west from ths
station. It cuts through the tops of
th hill -slopes and strikes boldly across
the swales of th broad valley on ti
tanic embankments. This waa th work
of a genius, whom men knew a Harrl-
man, th master-bunder. But the man
who created It did not look upon him
self as a genius. He simply reckoned
It good business to spend a mar million
dollars when It might save ana hundred
thousand in fuel and other excess grade
coats In th course of a single year. And
so It waa good business but genius also-
that mads the new path of the railroad
a rule radge acroar what the engineer
are prone to cil' 'heavy rolling oountry."
But twenty Rules from Omaha and ths
country Is no longer rolling. Tou have
begun ts rain a high level. To yeur
sophisticated eastern eye. the legend of
altitude placed upon each of the little
railroad stations Is novel and a complete
surprise and throughout th night that
level will grow higher. It la a steady
ascent across ths plain, and If you hare
had any belief that th plains of Ne
braska represent a great arid wane,
dismiss It forthwith. Tow will sea
arid country farther on Wyoming will
appear to be th driest thing you bav
ever seen; but her Is a rich farming
country. " ,
Th BriBglBgr-lB ( Mother.
Martha heard some one apeak of her
mother's deficiencies In arithmetic
which are perfectly visible to the naked
eye so she came and sat down bests
her end grsvely beg-sn:
"Mother, take four from fourteen and
how much doaa that leaver
"Ten," proclaimed the parent, think
ing ah was teaching th little one her
lesson, .
"Now. three from eight that's rather
hard you know."
"Yes, Its frequently gotten on my
nerves, too hut ..it, eventually leaves
flva"
"And four from five."
"One." exclaimed the elder from the
proud pinnacle of perfect knowledge
thinking also whoa a nloe teacher shs
was.
Martha rose with a sigh of relief
from the re si 00 of her pinafore, and
aid kindly but with some oondeacen-
lon. "well, now you nave learned thst

PEKING. reb. .- new and strlktng
view or th altuatlOB Is now takes. It
i believed in many quarters that Premier
Tuan Shi Kal wUl possibly succeed in
savinc th throne after alL The Peking
papers no longer mention abdlcatloa or
discuss th throne's retirement. Cer
tainly Tuan 8hi Kal does not Intend to
proceed wlti( abdlcatloa unlesa oompallad
to do so. i
Th opinion her is that the rebels do
not possess power to compel the premier
to sec Th republican" readiness to
sree te a permanent armistice and also
their willingness te grant the oountrv
liberal concessions Inspires ths belief that
they themselves recognise their Inability
to capture Peking. Reports received at
the capital Indicate that the republican
predicament Is worse than that la which
Premier Tuan finds himself.
Confiscations of property, forced ananaa
stents and brlgandag are causes of dis
content throughout the republican prov
inces, -
. Vase's Oaly Chase.
Should Tuaa 8hl Kal accede to the
republican demanda his own authority
would terminate; he would be at the
mercy of the republican leaders and the
heretofore loyal army would divide be
tween the republicans and Maachus. with
ths letters' supporters hostile to him. Be
lieving that he has been treacherous.
But, retaining the throne, whose power
ha already been delegated to him, he
would undoubtedly be the country's,
strongest man.
The Imperial premier's proposal of terms
In behalf of the eouit, providing even for
th eunuchs, has won the court's support
and baffled th opposition of minor
Manchu nobles. Tuan has encouraged his
followers to make promises of abdlcatloa
to th rebels snd publicly to arrange
plans to this end, but he now repudiates
them, declaring that tba empress dowager
authorised htm only a week ago ts enter
Into negotiations for a settlement
Ths actions of his adherents, therefore.
ha asserts, were not authorised and are
not binding upon him.
Certain membera of the legislation credit
Tuan Shi Kal with honest motives In
deal ring to maintain th union by th only
possible mesne the throne Many, how
ever, are convinced that h ts entrench
Ing himself for a dictatorship, that b is
wearing out th republican and break
lng th power of th throne, whose
authority will be preserved only suf
flclently to sarv his ends.
