A period ot Introduction and handshaking followed ns noon as the visitors reached the platform and It required some time to get the party disentangled from the crowd and into the carriages that were Waiting. When this was accomplished with two or three Ornahans to each of the visitors the drlvo about the city began. The route covered took In the business center Crblgh- ton college Capltolhlll tlioWestOinaharcsi- deneo district and Hanscom park and ended at the city hall whcro In the council chamber Mayor Bomls extended a cordial welcome. Ho said that the people of Omaha were always glad to welcome visitors from the old world and referred to a num ber ot them who had concluded to remain hero and were now among the most substantial of her citizens. Ho spoke of the great enterprises at the head of which are Fred Motz and William Krug and of their outlay hereof over $1,000,000 as a sample of what the German citizens of Omaha had done and were doing.

He expressed the hope that the Visitors would again stop hero on tholr re turn from the Pacific coast and see moro of the city. Axtnnlnlird nt Omnlia. In replying to the mayor's welcome Mr. F. Thlel said that he regretted that ho wus un- nblo to express himself in English as ho would like to do but ho wanted to say that although the party had heard much of Omaha they htid been astonished at what they had seen since their arrival.

The mem bers of the party appreciated the reception that had been accorded them and the speaker desired to return the thanks of all. Ho then ppoko more fully in German along the same lines. That concluded the spcechmaking and the building was then inspected after which the party repaired to THE Bnn building which was closely examined from basement to roof by the visiting Journalists.

Schmeiser and Mrs. Frank Lang assisted on the reception committee and looked after the only lady journalist In the visiting party Mrs. Bong who was presented by Mrs. Schmeiser with a beautiful nouquct of roses. The visitors were all apparently very much impressed as well as pleased by what they saw.

Dr. Schwartz remarked that there was very much for Europe to learn In this country and was personally greatly interested In the street car sys tem. He was familiar with the electric system hut marveled much at the extent of It nnd the number of streets on which tracks wcro laid and cars run. Ho declared that he tiad never seen such a network of street railway tracks before and could not understand how there could bo sulllclcnt travel over all of them to make the Investment profitable.

Iiiinuli lit the Oormnn Clnh As soon ns the party finished Its sightseeing ing the tffarlsts were taken to the parlors of the German ciub nt Germania hall whcro a sumptuous luncheon bad been propareu. The rooms nnd tables were tastefully decorated with lower blooms and plants. After an oxcharpo of pleasantries the guests took their scats und did justice to the good things provided. Mayor Bomls sat at the head of one of the tables and President Peyeko presided over the other.

Members of the city council the club members and the ladles of the rcceptlcn committee Hon. E. Hosowator Messrs. E. Schmeiser and Frederick Schnako had been invited to participate and were present.

The noonday meal over. President Poycko In a few words Invited the guests to make room in their traveling bag for little token which contained views of Omaha. These ho said wcro accompanied by the best wishes of the Gorman club and Omaha clti- ions In general for the fuluro welfare of the guests. j. Secretary Julius Loowy nf the Interna tional Press club responded to this In a happy speech wherein ho said that tholr mission to this country and especially to the west was to transcribe for the readers of their European journals tholr observa tions and Impressions of the United States.

Ho proposed a toast to Omaha Mayor Bcmls the Gorman club and the ladles who wcro present. I''cllow Countryman of Koisiith Eugen von Koolbcr of Buda-Pesth said that now tholr original idea of reaching the wild west after leaving Chicago had given way to trio correct Impression that Omaha was the tiji liable garden spot of thU country nnd that they would go homo and toll their of this unsuspected fact. FroderJrW Behnako of the Nebraska Banner spolio ui.on the power of the press do- nomlmulr.c it the seventh power of the old world buloro in this our lima the press 1 was the jwwcr. From the president down to the west unimportant oflleeholdor every one's netu might bo criticised.

rrnniUutl to Kullelileii Ilcrllner Hlclmrd Bong of the Modern Art of Ber lin was the- next ono to respond on behalf of the touring journalists. Hu dwelt on the World's fair the Imixirtant changes effected during their travels in the iiiluds of the editors with regard tto the prevailing renditions of this country. The speaker aid that they had seen and learned much which use would ba made on their return. Ho could assure his hearers that a correct Impression of this great country's resources ihould bo convoyed to the readers of bis two European papers. Councilman Prince welcomed the visitor heartily in a few well-timed remarks.

A. "Bergman of the Deutsche Zeltun la on bin rising to respond to a toast reminded one of the typical student of Gorman university. Ills speech was full of humor. It had been his Intention ho aid to propose a toait to the ladles but on this happy occasion ho could not omit to speak la.praise of all the present.

I shall not soon forget It.

Kugcn von Koelbcr of Vienna expressed himself tit llko manner and said that Omaha should bo rightly named the Garden City. Or. Otto Schwartz of Bohemia had the warmest praise for Omaha and said that the hospitality of Its people was unexcelled.

CiiKiriirrox COI.I.F.OE May 27. To the Public I feel that my sincere and grateful thanks are duo to the city of Omaha for the handsome and generous manner In which they aided mo both by their presence and applause in my feeble efforts to expose the machinations of nefarious men who have sought to interfere with the peace aud welfare of their fair city. To his honor the mayor and the splendid committee that graced the stage I ewe especial thanks for approving by their presence the sound principle of Americanism laid down In all our constitutions that the sncrcd interests of religion should not bo dragged down into the maelstrom of i olitics. On those who have dared to degrade what they pretend to bold sacred bo the responsibility of what to them Is the most excruciating as to us it istbomostdollghtful thing on earth the further spread of the spirit of fair candid und open discussion oven into the deep and dark recesses of this remote border. In the cast they command no hearing.

Soon they will uiovo further west until they vlo with the roar of mountain torrents In tholr sweet voiced efforts to make obstreperous protest against Undo Sam's right to say a little about the way his ranch should DO run. They may ro- Jolco in the fact that they will have an endless opportunity to- make still louder protest against a yet meeker Master. For my part I feel like Ilowona when rescued by the Lion Heart. She mot Do Bracy and heard his plea for pardon "As a Christian I forgive you said the lady. 'That means she doesn't forgive him at all laughingly said the clownl AVhen the Master drove the rabies out of the Gadarcuo lie was content to have him sit at his foot clothed and in his right mind.

I thank them for applauding the jokes that pointed out their folly. They could not couio nearer to repentance than this. I know that they were Defrayed into this evidence of sanity by human respect and the power of a splendid assemblage. THOMAS Ewixti SiinnsiAN Of the Society of Jesus. Cnwhoys Hronchn nnd Cruelty.

AUUOUA III. May 23. To the Editor of THE BEE The people of Illinois and adjoining states are rising up in indignant protest against tbo proposed broncho race from Chadron Nob. to the World's fair. The shameful long-distance European race of last year from Berlin to Vienna is still fresh In the minds of bumano Americans and wo are begging all the powers that bo to prevent this one if possible.

The fact that this race will bo longer producing more suffering to the animals and probably moro cruel abuse of them seems to us a disgrace to the American nation that should not bo tolerated. Occurring as it is proposed during probably the severe heat of the latter part of Juno the Inevitable suffering of the poor bronchos presents spectacle which should move to pity tbo heart of every person who has not been hewn from udnmant. Are the citizen1) of Nebraska going to tolerate erate this foul blot upon the fair fame of tholr admired and progressive state They have a creditable building at the fair and nn exhibit indicating culture industry thrift and intelligence to a rare degree. Queen Victoria in a message to the Itoyal Society for the fPrevcntlon of Cruelty to Animals wrote "No civilization Is complete which docs not take the lower animals Into the sphere of charity and mercy. The f.ict that animals nro in the power of men should maUo men considerate of their needs nnd pains for It Is only cowards who abuse and destroy that which has no power to cope with them.

The barbarism which demanded suffering as its pastime might have been oxcuiablo In the dark ages but now when thcro Is so much to lead men to worthier lines of thought It Is pitiable that they cannot bo nmuscd and prolitcd by something not allied to the torture of dumb animals Wo hope TUB Bur. nnd all other papers having at heart the honor of their state will hasten to enter such a protest against this long-dls- tanco race ns shall discourage the cowboys from starting. Even If they do start It Is not unlikely they will bo prohibited from entering the state of Illinois or arrested upon their entrance over the lino. Anti-cruelty people everywhere uro appealing to the Illinois Humana society which has jurisdiction all over the state mid as our laws are essentially for the protection of those poor creatures who cannot speak for themselves the broncho riders would do well to pause long time before starting. In lieu of thu broncho race I would suggest that the "boys" make the Journey on foot and bo awarded the same prize hold out to the riders.

Older men probably than any of them are Journeying in this manner to the great exposition and only ask for the reward of viewing the woudors to bo soon there. Hospcctfully yours Mii3. Ruiicnii.n AM.EN\ Secretary the Aurora III. Humana Society. llollevue Uol co Vomraencomont.

JOURNEYING FROM JAPANV Miss Yoihi Karijo Stops OfT at Omaha Enrouto to Mount Holjoko. OPINIONS ON AMERICA AND AMERICANS Little I.nily from Chrjmnnthnmun Doesn't Like to Wear Shoos Here to Pit Herself for Toachlntj In Her Own Country. A bright Ilttlo maid from Japau. In this case a bright Ilttlo maid for school. She has been in Omaha for the past day or two the guest with Missionary F.

N. 'Vyhlto' and Mrs. White of Mr. and Mrs. T.

A DAWOs on South Twenty-sixth street. Her name is Miss Yoshi Karijo and she Is on. her way to enter on a throe years' course at Mount Hoi- yoke seminary Massachusetts to lit herself to assume the duties of A teacher ia'nn academy or college In Japan. When TUB Bnc representative called to see her Miss Yoshi WAS found attired in a regulation American suit of gray serge made with a plain skirt and basque with pointed girdle. The lady is a very pro- iwsscsslng bright little woman of wide information and speaks English in the most delightful manner.

She Is very modest and retiring but as she is so obliging she soon made an effort to lay nsldo all differences nnd conversed on general topics vlth the most fascinating candor. This Is In substance what she said during the interview "It Is just ono month today since wo sailed from "Yokolniia. and the trip was long ouo for mo as I never traveled very much I were my own dross as wo do at home on board the stoamcr and bought this ono In San Francisco. It Is very uncomfortable and I do not llko It very well and wish I could dross as we do in Japan but the board who are sending mo to Mount Holyoke to bo educated forbid mo to wear any but American clothes and you know as the styles do not change with us when I return homo after the three years ara up my clothes will bo all right and I can wear them. "I have boon thinking of coming to America for many years and have waited long for the chance and nt last it camo.

I teach at homo have taught for about four years. I teach English In the schools. About seven years ago there was a great desire on the part of all Japanese ladles and girls to learn English but it did not last and so great a number do not study English now. But I thinic It will be taken up again soon as I believe it is a fact that English will soon be spoken by every country on the earth and will bo taught everywhere In ad dition to the native language. It is an eahy language to learn at least I had no trouble learnlnff It.

"I think the American shoes are especially uncomfortable but I suppose when I get used to them it will bo better. Of course if you wish it I will show you our Japanese dress. Jnpnnoo Continue. Miss Kajiro then excused herself with her graceful little courtesy and cordial smllo and retired. After a short time she returned turned clad In the roboof the Japanese lady.

It was of line silk made with long deep sleeves ono corner of which are sewed up to bo used as pockets. The dress is rnaUo with a low neck and lllled in with silk of a different color cream color in this instance. The robe Itself is of striped gray silk with line stripes of rod and heliotrope. Around her waist was wound a scarf of the most beautiful colors and texture and with embroidery which would make any woman green with envy. Her feet wcro clad in a sort of hose with a separate compartment for thagreat toe made of white cotton cloth.

When the ladies go on the street they wear the wooden shoes or "gotas with which all are famil iar. As those shoes are-about three inches high the dress is thus kept from contact with the street and is never soiled at the bottom. In winter they wear one dress over another until they are sufllclently protected from the cold. "Of course said the Ilttlo lady "tho very rich ladies have much finer dresses than this made of crepe and the finest silk. It Is very easy to know the ago of a woman by her dress.

The Ilttlo children dress in the brightest shades of red and nil polors and as a woman grows older she lays aside bright colors and by the time a woman is full grown she dresses In gray or some dark color. Wo have this wrap of black silk which wo wear on the street sometimes. It is made almost like the dress with the same deep slcrffcs. It costs about 10 or 12 cents of American money to hire a robe made like the ono I have on but wo do not have so much money as you do. I get about $10 or $12 a month for teaching school.

Annoyed by Amoilcan Curiosity. "I do not think the Americans are very polite sometimes. When I went out shopping In S.in Francisco I were my dress as I have it now and they came and examined it very closely even asked mo about the strings with which it is fastened you know we do not use pins as you do. but fasten everything with strings or ribbons. Another thing I do not like.

1 notice so many people eating all sorts of things on the streets. I do not think that is nice. To oat on the street Why only the very lowest class In Japan would do such a thing and they would bo ashamed of it. But we admire the American women. Wo wish wo were more llko them.

Wo are Improving though. Wo have a great many magazines now devoted entirely to women and all the ladles of high station take the magazines and they all read them. Wo have ouo magazine which Is edited by a woman and ono in which nearly all the work Is done by women. A great many girls In my school Oh yes. The boys and girls are always in separate schools are anxious to Improve and study the scicnc.cs but their parents object und think if they learn how to read and study the arrangement of llowcrs and got married when they arrive at the age of about seventeen it is all that is necessary.

This is especially true of parents who have not accepted Christianity. "If a girl does not get married almost the only way she has of making a living is by sowing. All the embroidery which you American ladies admlro so much is done by the lower classes or servants. A lady of high standing never sows or has any employment whatever. She roads novels or plays on an instrument with strings something thing like a piano or arranges llowcrs.

"Wo teach lower arrangement as a science in our schools and it takes many years for a student to finish this branch. The ladles have what wo call 'ceremonial teas' and 'llowor arrangements' lor social pleasures to which they Invite their friends and this Is the extent of 'society' among the better class. At a "Ceremonial Ton. "The ceremonial teas are very tiresome Yes wo always sit on the lloor with our feet folded under us and when we accept a cup of tea wo must timko a bow or great many bows and it is all very slow nnd tlrcsomo. Wo make our bows by placing our hands.on the lloor with the palms downward and the thumbs together and must bow so Jew that our noses touch our hands as we are seated round the cloth on which the tea is served.

I hope you have a Society of Christian Endeavor In Omaha as wo will remain hero over Sunday nnd I should Uko to attend tbo society of which 1 ain a member. Qur society at homo has thirty members and is very interesting. "Oh yes I expect to get Tory hoineslek in fact I have been homesick already whiloi on board the steamer and In San Francisco. and especially when wo landed the band played "Homo Sweet Home and that touched mo and roado mo wish i was back in Japan but I intend to work hard for the thrco years I am hero and not tniuk about it any moro than I can help and when the three years are ur and I go back and'begin my work of teaching English in the 'schools 1 will be very happy. I wish I could begin school right away but will have to wait until the 1st of September.

"I thluk i will visit the World's fair for a few days as wo go on to Chicago Monday and will bo there for several days. I must you a nlco piece of work done by a Japanese. This is a luiulaturo god such as the Japanese worship and as 'you se it is carved out of a grain of rice with the hull of the grain for a sort of covering for the god. Of course the carving Is very fine and must bo done with magnifying glasses. Such I i work is common nnd nattrtng Is too mlnuto or Intricate for our workmen to undertake "Yes I may return tbjiOmnha omotlmo while 1 am in this country nnd will bo pleased to eo vou If IJo.

Two horns of the recent pass3nger rate roubles are rcprescntc4.tiin Omaha by lessrs.

The Burlington will not permit an Omaha man to pay more to go to the World's fair than the Kansas City man lays. That much you may depend upon.

ut there Is no certainty that the rate an- lounccd will bo permanent and wo do not propose reducing the rate and then have to cstoro it insldo of week. We shall keep out of the fight until thcro some indication that the rate is to bo nado permanent. Mr. E. L.

Lomax when asked about the situation said that it was decidedly chaotic. 'The Santo Fo of course will put in the rates announced on Monday and Just as soon as wo know they are effective our rates will jo raised from 30 from Colorado common mints to $37.50 to accord with the Santo PC'S. This rate so far as the Union Pacific concerned will bo made permanent bo- icving as I do that tbo $49 rate Is outrageously high. It Is a fact that notwlthstand- "ng the low rates from Colorado points wo mvo not averaged thirty tickets a day which shows that travel is by no means what It should bo. The Santo Fo's position ihat rates nro too high is not controvcrtiblc.

1 hey have shown the wisest conservatism in offering their compromise rate such able r.illioul men ns Mat-veil Hughitt agreeing lhat it was tbo best compromise that could bo made and ho urged its adoption. But the Hook Island awl Burlington were dead sot against the rate nnd voted acalnst it with the result that endless turmoil and confusion have resulted. However I hope by the middle of the week that something definite will bo known as to what tbo r.ites are likely to bo. Should they show any signs of permanency then the Union Paclllc In conjunction with the Northwestern will put in the $17.50 rato. Kansas City cannot imvo any advantage over Omaha when It comes to passenger rates.

"So far ns my information goes the rates ns announced by the Santa Fo will go Into effect Monday. Itocurd on Low Kates. X. f. 7 asks if there was "a round-trip rate excursion or otherwise as low as $1 for the round trip to any point in California from this city.

Touching upon the question of eviction of the squatters ho said "I believe In living ahll let llvo. The squatters uro all right wWcre they aro. I have resided in larger cltlos than Omaha and have always found the same class of people are clustered la a spot that it seems was sot aside for tttftra or moro correctly speaking they otfbupy a piece of ground nnd are no fi molested. No ono can safely say that tlijypro at a danger to the health of tha.jCommunlty and Ills sheer nonsense this' apprehension of danger. I bollovo however that they should be required to kcon'thoir premises in a sanitary condition.

To iiisuro this I would detail eco of the sanitary Inspectors to go through the colony every few days nnd require them to clean op and keep clean. If this is done I do not know of a better location for them for they are of a class that will not pay rent and will only settle In some other portion of tbo city if disturbed and perhaps prove more of a nuisance there than they do where they are.

Kings have made laws against It priests have exerted their eloquence and authority against 1,1 satirists have exhausted their powers of ridicule in hold- nig It up to reprobation caricaturists hare used tholr talent unsparingly to prodiieo its downfall all without avail for the hoopsklrt grow and nourished. Charles IX. Henri III.

and Henry IV. all Issued edicts against the hoop anil it still lived. I-'Ucr in England also laws were made to restrict Its size. From Franco the vertugadln traveled to England and found immense favor with "her termagant razor-tongued Eliza- both.who was remarkable for her vast farthingale the ICngllsh name which descended to her feet llko a great drum. The vortuga dln also invaded Spain and found itself welcomed by demure scnuritas and grim duennas.

The men as usual decried it and more edits out again to no pur pose. Crinolines 1'nnnlors and Hustles. And who can explain the popularity of this monstrousQinventlon which has been described throughout the years ot its existence ly the most derogatory adjectives the auguoget It Is not useful nor graceful nor rotiy nor lu any way calculated to set off cminino charms. The chief ncauty of a vomau's llguro Is in the harmony and Just iropirtlon of its parts. This the hoop kirt by Its size at once destroys and renders bo head that masterpiece of the human wdy insignificant nnd moan.

Not only tlio isad but the whole upper part of the body dwarfed. Panniers also very popular in times past ro a mere modification of the hoopsltirt nd the same is true of the little wire cages jailed bustles which have been gene only a ow years. Compare pictures of the women earlier days the Uallo-Komau period of franoe for instance witb these of lalo dales during the First aud Second empires md observe the difference. The most un- iducated oyc will bo struck with the elegant implicity and beautiful undulating folds of he former while the latter now that time has relegated them to the background nppear like some absurd and ridiculous cari cature. The Capetian costumes in the L'cnth and Eleventh centuries are from an aesthetic poi.it of view.

In fact until distended petticoats vertugadins farthingales md hoopskirts entered the domain of voman's attire thcro is no period which does not show some beauty or other In the irovalling mode of dress aud wherever it approximated toward a Greek model as hose of the Gallo-Homan and Capetian cos- umes do. thcro is a costume worthy of jraiso. Fancy the Venus of Melos In a marhlo 'arthingalu or the Apollo Belvidere in a pair trunk hose Men In Jlran-Stuitbd Trunks. The dear "lords of creation" used to bo ad uncomfortable nnd look Just as ridlo- ilous in their trunk hose as the women in hcir farthingales. An author of the time describing them calls them a kind of 'verdingalo breeches and goes on to relate the story of a p.Ulant who "laving torn his garment on a nail in making a bow to some ladles lo from it a great quantity of the bran with which it bad been stuffed.

Franco having given the farthingaio to England the latter generously returned the compliment by giving it back in its changed 'orm as the parnnier. In 1790. at tbo court of George III. It was seen in its worst hase. Besides being spread out by the irinollno the gown was loaded with ribbons cords and tassels.

During the empire women occupied thrco or four times the space of men. In ITIiO when it again conquered Paris it measured six feet in diameter and In 1855 its circumference was fully fifteen feet. feet.Yet Yet bow many famous and beautiful women have worn it or its prototype the wido-skirted gowns held out by numberless petticoats worn beneath. Mary of Burgundy wife to Maximilian of Austria Elizabeth of of Henry VII the Richmond mend who Killed the third Richard of cursed memory Anne Bullen whoso ambition cost her so dear Mi.ry Tudor daughter of Catherine of Arngon Elizabeth Mary Stuart Jeanne of Austria mother of Marie do Medicis Christine of Sweden Marie Josephine qwcn of Poland Helen Four- mcnt second wife of Rubens und many others whose portraits havi been painted by Holbein itubens Abraham Bruyn Joseph Hamiran and others. Hogarth In his "Mar- riugo a-Ia-Mode 1745 has depicted the hoop petticoat" with bis facile satiric touch.

Virtues of tlio Vortugiullu. Yet there is really some good to bo recorded of them. Marguerite do Valvis saved ber husband Henry of Nauarrc from his enemies by hiding him beneath her enormous vertugadln. In the same manner LouUo do Montaynanl wile of Francois do Tressau saved the life of her cousin the bravo Duo do Montmorency. Om of its apologists says that It cultivates womanly reserve "by keeping men at distance and now'comcs Ward McAllister and calls It a modest dress It conceals the Jlgure and thus ceases to shock the delicacy of "elderly persons.

When sumptuary edicts were In force iigainst the offending vertugadin certain widow was arrested for "wearing a hoop of seditious size but was acquitted on declaring that it was her hips that wcro to blame beln so very largo. Shakspcaro mentions the farthingaio as If It were common article of attire. Uhat masterpiece of rougory SirSohn Falstaff nattering Mrs. Ford who outwitted him BO cleverly says "Thou wouldst. make an absolute courtier and the linn fixture of thy foot would give an oxcollcnt motion to thy gait In a semi-circled farthingale.

In "Two Gentlemen of Verona the never- to-be-forgotten Launce chides his talented dog Crab because the latter did not show sufilcient respect for the lady's farthingaio. And so In thu long history the hoop-skirt lias always triumphed. In spite of wars and rumors of wan it held its own serene and circular sway. And if as Is threatened It is once moro to come among us there is nothing to do but to become reconciled and hope that Us reign will bo short. Homo women many in fact will vow that they will never wear it.

This a commendable resolution but lust give the hoop skirt a fair show and it will come out victor. As Patrick Henry says "Thoro Is no way of judging the future but by the past and so Judging wo can easily approximate the result for human nature Is the same the world over. M. H. L.

PECTTLIA'R CASE. Court Trylnc to If Tli ro Gould an Accident Sulcldo.

his death "by a wound Inflicted In hU throat bv his own hands but it was maintained aU'thowny through by tbo plaintiff that the act of self-destruction was superin duced by pain produced by an accidental pUtol shot through the foot. In bin closing argument to the Jury yesterday ex-Judge Field hold that if the deceased took his own Hfo while suffering great physical torture not for the purpose of ending his existence but simply ns a moans of relieving himself from suffering thu net would not constitute suicide. Death under such circumstances ho hold would bo nothing 1n 1 moro nor less than the final results of the accidental shooting and the insurance com- mny would therefore bo held for tins amount of the policy. Mr. Offutt on the other hand hrld that the death of Dr.

Itobblus was deliberately planned sulcliln. Ho had carefully sharpened the scalpel and had selected an op'iortunlty when no ono was about or in the room. He also held that this was not the first attempt of the deceased to shunio off his mortal coll. On a former occasion ho had locked himself In a room nnd taken dosoof chloroform but was discovered before the deadly drug had tlmo to accomplish fatal results. Fedrrnl Conrt Itemnnnts.

Ho Is making arrangements now for his usual visit nml recently wrote the following letter to the Salt Lake Tribune EDITOR TmnoNE-In view of thn fact that I shall probably vlsltSalt l.nku this summer.

I doslro to appoint the following committee to perform the duties hereinafter described Mr. W. West Mr.V. O. Ooorgo M.Scott Mr.

It Is my wish that this committee remain strictly at tlu-lr homos or places of business If limy have any during my In the city. That tlu-y refrain from meeting mo at the depot ami from tendering mo the freedom of tlmclty. That tlmy rust ruin tin-involves from hilarious conduct and that they leave mo to tlio gonliil quietude of my own society. My uxpcrlonco In the past with those who compose this committee has not been Mien in to Klvo mo conlldonco In myself or thorn and 1 Imvo no doslro to oncoiiraso them In romlcr- 1ns hospitalities which ono resrots moro tlmn IIH enjoys. I know that the duties Imposed upon this cotnmltten nroonnrims and doubtless there will ho kicking but I prefer they should do the kicking If they are able to Uck after my de parture.

Sotnu of the legal members of thu committee will object iih.ii that the requirements above Imposed aro. In the lunftuiiKo of the law. "unUMiiil nnd therefore should not ho enforced. Hut "unusual" people need "un- miuil" treatment and I am going start In by trying It on this committee. The honorable ox-mayor has susRcsted tome mo that .1 smiill body of carefully HUlected citizens inleht po-slblv bo found who would enjoy In giving mti the ploustironf tln-lr society during my stay.

Itnt my experience with tliti "carefully soft-drd" citizen of Salt ljuku is quite similar that with the above commit tee and my preference Is to take no chances unless a moral revival should occur bofoio I arrive. Yours regretfully OMAHA Nob. May 17 18U3. STANTON. In commenting upon this the Salt Lake Tribune replied editorially as follows The nbuvo from thn headquarters of tbo Army of the I'luttc will bo read with appropriate sorrow In this city.

The h-ttor however will servo ono coed purpose. There are a Hood many people hero who biivo feltinil the tlmo that they could not afford to spend J3DO to make visit to tlio World's fair. These people will now try to ascertain about tlio tlmo of tlio coming of the paymaster and they will then think It genuine economy to visit the fair even at an oxpenio of 81,000 ctich. It might just as well bo said further that arrangements have already boon made for the meutlnu of the pay master nt the depot not qullo on uch a as lie anticipates but something as was given tlioiiifaiitii In Now York on Krlilay. Tlio ronimlttec will consist of thrco and they will bo In the full uniform of the Halt Lalco police ind In as delicate a way ns possible tlio message will bo convoyed to the distinguished arrival Jiat thcro Is a building In the neighborhood of lie city hall where tin freedom of the city 'rtMiuontly Rlvun to distinguished Kiicsts es- lecfally If they hail from Omaha nnd where lie utmost quiet can bo secured.

This will bo lonoon tlio sujwobtlon of the colonel himself Jiat "unusual people need unusual treatment. Whether there will bo any reforms prior to the coining of the distinguished KUCbtwtll bo doubtful but If there anything In an the chances uro 100 to ono that thorn will bo need of them 1m- nedintely on tbo departure of tbo guest. There was nn Impromptu mooting of proml- yesterday to consider what wus lost to do under the clrciinislancos anil whllo no definite conclusion was reached there was a universal hope expressed that with thu coming if the expected guest It would bo found with ilm very much its the Divlslonlsts here claim In regard to thn situation that tbo conditions invo changed and ono or two more hardened than the rest volunteered the opinion that they could not much chanio for the worso. At tbo sumo tlmo thcro are ponplo hero who iru really pleased with the prospector Colonel nol Stunlon coming and IOIIK visit to Salt Lako. That shows that the perversity of the human heart la some cases gets to bo chronic.

JtRXK'lT OF lltllHl.lTlON. Scott IIlitfT County Farmers It empiric Harvest from This Source. GERINO Neb. May 27. Special to Tn Bne.

The people of ScotU Bluff county are now busy irrigating their land for the coming harvest. Most of the crops are now In the ground and these who are located under Irrigation ditches are using thn water There are ten Irrigating cdltchcs in this county that have water running Into them this spring also several above and below the county along the North Platto. They range from five to fifty miles in length. The nvcr Is very high now and still raising although there has been no rain hero to speak of for about eight months and not over four inches of snow last winter still the drouth don't effect this locality much as the farmers get the benefit of the snow which fell In the mountains of Wyoming. There is abundance of water now In the river to till thrco times the number of ditches to their full capacity that are now constructed The land that will bo irrigated in this county this season will be fully 50.000 acres.

The crops are wheat oats corn grasses and vegetables. Karmers can raise moro tote to the aero in this country under Irrigation than any country that depends on rainfall The Farmers Canal company has completed a new head gate this spring 135 feet in width and is now furnishing water for the first time to the farmers living along- that ditch. The Castle Kock and Alliance and Winter Creek companies ditches also have put in now gates this spring. The Mitchell Ditch company had some trouble with onoof its Humes this spring but now has It repaired in good shape and water running. Thn I awrenco canal has ono of Its storage reservoirs about full of water which makes a lake covering nearly SOO acres also considerable water in tbo largo reservoir which will cover about 400 acres fifteen foot In depth when full.

The town of Goring the county seat of Scotts Bluff county is enjoying quite a building boom this spring It has about doubled In the last few months and has- good proipccts of being as largo again as it is before fore snow Hies again. The building of irrigation dltchea is going to make a splendid country of this and It will soon bo as well developed as any In the state. Most of the Improvements being made here are very substantial for a new country. Buiallpox in Indiana ELWOOP Ind. May 37.
