Omaha and its Public Buildings and Parks——
Downing the Scalpers.
BY E. M. PROWIT'I‘.
Omaha, as viewed from Council Biufi
across the MissOui-I, is quite commanding
n appearanc- , becauSe, like many towni-
aud cities on the Hudsou, it. lies in pat!
on the slope of a hill. Conspicuous above
all other buildings is the high school,
being on the summit. of the hill, and is
~‘onc of the first objects to attract attention-
There are many fine public buildings,
among which may be mentioned the
Academy of Music, the post-office, and
court-houss, Creighton college, the Press-
byterian church, the Catholic cathedral.
Odd Fellows block, the Metropolitan
block, and the graded schools. Th:
hotels are also fine buildings. On step
ping into the large-hall clone of them-
lotcls the neat and airy appearance Ll-
tn cts attention. The mums overhead
opening Olll. on a large veranda which
like a balconi , overhangs thezhall on than
sides, is quite a novelty and gives oppor-
tunity for occupants of rooms to look
down on the busy some below. The
walk to the high school ,is quite up-h-ll
work, but the steepness of the grade rcn
dcrs it rather fatiguing, yet the mat. ap-
pearance of the surrounding grounds
amply repays the trouble in reaching it.
At lbc Baptist church, on Sunday, it War
our pleasure to listen to an excellent dis
course from the pastor. The house of
worship is moderately’large, and is a nice
building but rather defective in acausnc
properties and would be considered plain
Were it not. for the elaborate culling doc-r
rations, which are not/in keeping with thr
rust of the house. In a ride to the park
in the horse car we passed .mauy flux
residences, some Of which had lawns very
handsomely decorated. The park is
about two and a half miles from the can.
ire of the city and on a high clevation.
The grounds are Well located so as to
make a splendid park. They are roomy,
and in the midst of what. once was WOUdB.
These grounds were donated to the city
upon certain conditions, which would in-
volves large expenditure. Whether the
city will lavish much expense upon this,
and so make a magnificent affair of it, or
whether it will revert to the donor is a.
matteras yet unknown. Now that the
horse railway is built up to it and many
buildings are erected on the line of the
road, it may he an object for both parties
to retain it. The general offices of the
Union Pacific company are located at
Omaha in an elegant building. Several
other railroad companies make this city
their headquarters. As a consequence
these give employment to a large num
ber of young men, who come to this city
from diflercnt parts Of the country.
' , If you ask ayoung man in what busi
ness he is engaged, hil answer will gener
ally be, I am connected with the railroad.
II. is said that Omaha is the most exten-
sive manufacturing point on the Missouri
river, its manufactures amounting to
several millions of dollars a year. , Here,
also, are located the machine shops, car
works and foundry of the Union Pacific '
railroad. There are some large smelting
and refining works. The total valucof
school property in this city of 35,000
population is nearly $500,000. Omaha 1a
a business place and affords a market for
a large extent of.country, but is not so do-
sirable for a residence, as the atil is louse
and soft, and it must either be all dust or
all mud in the streets unless the‘cit'y‘gocs
to the expense of paving all the streets.

out, “I‘ickctsl” Why does he take so
long a time upon each set of tickets?
Wuy does he so carefully study them and
hesitate upon some? Why does he so
scrutimzingiy gaze at' the passenger and
then punch the Iticket, as it would appear
for the purpose of designating from whom
he received 11? Humparticular'hc is ' to
notice the signatures. See him tearing
of! in addvtion to the one to which .be is
entitled, all the long list of return tickets
and putting them in his pocket. But
watch him as he takes out another list of
tickets from another pocket; and after
fastening them to the stub Of the ticket,
returns them to the passenger. The
ead just exactly as the other ticket
which be kept. We venture on an en
quit-y: "Couduclor.'pleasc excuse, but. a
matter of curiosity prompts the question.
What special advantage do you gain in
tearing off all our tickets, and substituting
others which read exactly the same ?"'
He says, this is done on all trains west of
the Missouri. It certainly is a satisfac-
tion to learn that all are served alike, and
that the passenger loses. nothing by the
operation. Let us look at. this ticket-
manmuveriug at alater lime. Atthetimc
of leaving Denver forthe return trip just.
befOre starting, a man comes in to ex-
amine the tickets. This is the train
agent. Shortly the conductorcomel and
examines and punches the ticket. While
all this scrutinizing is going on, pu
scngers see no reason for these novel _ pro--
cedures, neither ilit a subject of much
interest to them, and would have been
forgotten by them were it not that early
I, in November the Denver newspapers
came out wilh the following, which re-
calls thc whole affair. As the reader may
by this time become interested in the
solution, it may be well to append the
piece which was published in one of the
Denver newspapers.
“As the force of Denver train agents
compleie' its duties for the season in a
day or two, an opportunity is embraced
to give a brief resume of how it was in-
troduced as a help to the Colorado pool

1583. The reason of the establishment of
trim agents was to put a stop to the de-
c prion practised on passengers by scalp.
era in selling them tourist tickets that
had nilcuuy utcn used, and also in saving
he railroads thousands of dollars out of
which they had been annually cheated.
“The tourist. business to Colorado this
season has been quite large, there having
been over 6,000 round-trip tickets sold
from points on or cast of the Missouri
fchl'lO Dechr and return. The extreme-
1y low rates this year by the Colorado
lines has undoubtedly induced this large
trawl, and the railroads interested in this
business are determined to leave no stone
unturned to make Colorado the most
popular resort for tourists and health
aéckcrsiu the entire country. Thcy are
inventing new and attractive advertising
methods each year, and are using every
elicit through their own agents and those
of their easlel'h connections to induce this
Italic]: ‘
“The very low rates given for this buli-
ncss of course raised the way to more 01
in the hands of ( finer than the originnl
purchaser. '
"The system has worked so successfully
that. it is estimated that not less than $17,-
300 have been saved to the lines west ol
the Missouri river, to say‘nothing of the
amounts saved to lines on the Missouri
iver, who have sold these tickets. The
advantage Of the system as a preventilive
cannot be over-estimated.
“During the summer over 200 scalpers"
tickets have been cancelled by the Denver
nrain agents.
“This has been the first your train
agents have ever been introduced in tin
country, and their introduction is due f:-
Mr. George H. Dauirls, the Colored:-
Pool Commissioner. It. was he who
thwarted the scalpers, and has shown
himself by this act alone toibe a managn
not surpassed in any pool in the country.
Last May the scalpers of Chicago and
other lantern cities formed a syndicate of
$50,000 wherewith to Operate on tourism-
-'n Colorado. The adoption Of train
agents frustrated the plan completely. At
the beginnin'g of the season there were
fourteen scalpcra in Denver and two in
Pueblo. Those of Pueblo have beet
killed off, and there are only five orsix it

the Denver train agents. It is more than

way of the journey. Although it is for
hidden use by any one excepting the origi
nal purchaser, the scalpcr brings acids to
uis help, blots out the first name and for-
ges [he lbnclhc. Wishes Again, slips art-
pasted over. "parts ‘pf the ticket that hav-
nccn stamped, and cut. places are count-c1-
vd by a fine process of tinkering. Thr-
scalpers are experts at different kinds of
oandwriting, and bland and false as any
confidence man. :
i‘But the.train agents have been a little
sharper. The, combinations of numbers
on a ticket giving a description of a pas-
senger is changed almost every day. A
scalpcr then has no sooner found out. tht
old combination than a new one is thrust
upon-him, when it becomes too late for
mm to deceive the railroad vigilants. ,
Even though a ticket has been pasted,
and erased, and forged, the train agent
in nearly escry case has been able t.) (It'-
tect the deception by the secret combina-~
tion of letters, which refuses to give the
desired description .of if fraudulent
traveler.
‘“ Yes,’ said a train agent to a reporter.
‘wc are a little too much for the scalpers.
What I have hated to see is poor Women
being taken in so. When we’ve cancelled
their tickets and told them they’d been
cheated, they begged and begged us tolet
them go, as they had no more money in
the world. Some fellows get mad when
they are told they had scalpcrs’ tickets,
and show letters addressed to them with
the same name as that on the ticket. But.
it wouldn't work; The other night a tel
low got on the Kansas Pacific. I can-
celled his ticket. Ho had only $7 in his
pocket. besides the ticket he paid $20 for.
The scalper wouldn’t take the ticket back
and laughed at him. The poor fellow is
now roaming the streets, not. being able
to get. money enough to get back east to
his friends.”
“Another man was more plucky. His
swore if the scalper didn’t take the ticket
back he would blow his head off, and he
showed me his revolver. He had just
awn-my minutes before the train-started“:
In less than fifteen minutes the fe‘ ow
came back with $25, which he‘had f"'.' . d
the scalpcr to pay ham to him,and llu
left for the east on the train.” '
History of An Oak Table.
A handsome oak table, elegantly carv
ed. stands in the parlor of an up-town
housé.
“Haw did it come in'o my possession?"
said a gentleman who was writing at it to
a reporter. “Ob, oddly enough. It. was
given to me by a. convtct just released
from the Connecticut State prsion at
Wet hersfield. " .
“He made it himself I" asked the Aisig
tor.
"Made it! Not be. But. he stole the
money that bought it. Oh, no, I am not
a receiver of stolen goods. I will tell you
the story. .
“About thirteen years ago 1 rentcd a
house from Watdcu Willard of the Con-
necticut State prison, who was afterward
murdered by the convict Wilson. The
poisoners used to be hired out fo farmers
and brought back to their cells at. night,
and many of them worked on the roads.
vmong the latter was a large, powerful,
' full-blooded negro. who was serving a ten
years’ term for robbery. I made his ac-
quaintance, and often prevailed on the
keepers to allow him to pass an hour in
my house, where both I and my family
grew to regard him as a quiet, inoffensive
fellow, who had {gone astray once, but
would probably lead an honest life after
his liberation. At last he took me into his
confidence in the moat astonishing way.
He said the money he had stolen nap
never been recovered by the owners. He
had turned it. all into cash and buried it.
He assured me that it amounted to
$15,000, and he offered to share it equally
With me if I would digit up and kctp ll
until he came out of prison. Of course I
refused, and urged him to give up the
money or tell me where it was buried.
He rcf used to do either, and thereafter be
At last he was liberated and left the
prison a few days after Warden Willard
was murdered. Three months later a

"Case of l’alaken 'd'entixy, ball” he said

Castsrms DAY.
Holidays with a religious sanction are
so far as we can know, nl old as the hu-
mm race. At any rate, the earliest
records we have of such Observances
present the religious feature. It is essen-
tial to their very purpose, [lic'evokiig of
the “wondrous kindness," which, grow-
ing out of fellow-feeling, confesses a
common independence upon :1 divine
power. This going out of the human
heart, to something higher, bulicr and
more bc'neticcnt than man, is more uni
vernal than a cursory'glancc would lead
us to think- There are many who are
moved unconsciously to themselves by it,
even as without thought. or effort they
breathe the breath of their natural
bodies. Prejudice, bigotry, selfishness,
and narrow ignorance may impede, or
may mar the mystery of sympathy. But
the reach of the true holiday, in the
boundless Christian spirit of charity, in-
cludes in its bcuziou all the children of
the All Father, of whatever nation, or
class, or creed, or kindred. National
holidays and neighboring commemora-
tions have their limits of theme and
topic and purpose. Religious holidays,
are nothing if not tolerant, and do not
fill the true signification unless. they
rise above mere toleration, and embrace
In kindly thought all the children of the
Father of all." _ .
. Upon these essential veritics, spiritual
and intellectual, hang, as tinsel, and or-
nament, the innocent. sensual enjoyment-
of the season, as the fringe adornod the
official garmrnts of the priest in the
chI'BW temple. The senses are the
necessary. ministers to the mind and
heart, the body is the servant or the soul.
And We are to take heed that the servant
does not. - dominate the master. The
family circle is to day the center of sat
isfactiou and the scene of the purest
happiness in the hope of those who would
keep holiday. May all to whom them:
Words shall come heartily enjoy it, and
realize that. the sympathy which makes
the whole world kin, causes all iu ahouse
to be Of_ one happy mind.
The burtneucd mans, the loaded trains
and the busy managers have been over-
iaxcd discharging their trust. The ab-
sent are brought near by kindlytokens;
the needy arc not‘forgottcn, and there
are reunions everywhere in spirit as well
as in personal presence. The thought of
the [Act that the mom looks down on
mauy brooks, but the same moon 15 re
. floored in them all, is pertinent in a higher
sense to-day. In a higher and more p0-
cilcal sense as ' wcll ; for truth is the es
truce of poetry. Many arc the nations,
many the men, many the tcmpermenta
and conditions, but. Christmas lightens
the faces cf them all, if thcy will but re-
flect from their own hearts the brighten-
Iug beams cf the Star of the Nativity.—

LEAD POISON.
Ofall the metallic poisons, lead is per-
haps the one most often ink-3n into the 11:1-
man body. It is elim‘inntcd from the lm-ly
with more difficulty than the other puiSons, I
and excepting those that directlv kill. its
effects are the severest and most varied.
Lead may enterthc system through the
mouth in water from lead pipes, or from
type held in the mouth by cotnpositurs. it
may be taken in through the lungs, by lift-nih-
ingih lead factories of various kin-.24; t..-
absorbed by the mucous membrane of the
nose from snuff containing it. It
taken in even through the unbroken him.

‘ from hair-dyes and rouges, and ihl’ullfll.
both skin and nostrils by painters.
Some persons are much more Susceptible
to it than are other persons. Among the
symptoms that show that it has been taken
into the body, are colic; great. muscular
weakness; constipation; female disorders;
blindness, ' complete or partial ; neuralgius
of the face, head, joints in the small of the
back, between the ribs, or in the upper and
lower limbs; loss of sensibility; muscular
spams; and finally the most frequently,
paralysis, which may affect all the Inlléclt’s
of the body. One of the most constant
signs of the presence of the poison is a. blue
line along the gums. As the system left to
itself gets rid of the lead very slowly, the
lead accumulates in it until what was for a
while hamnlepsmny become a fatal poison.

THE BUFFALO.
« . upstate ’ :—_
.11. going down the Yellowstone, in" Mon-
”“38, and across the vast region lying be-
tween Glendive and Mandan, one is struck
with the evident scarcity of game. This
fmnous region, where two or three years ago
herds, of buffalo, antelope and deer were to
be seen on every side, is him to all appear-
ances strippcdof its game. The fact is, the
slaughter of buffalo and deer has been im-
mense for the past two years, and particu-
larly of the former. It is estimated that
during the past. winter there have been 3
thousand hinders engaged in the business of
~luug‘hfc‘n'ng buficlo’nlong the'line Of the
Northern Pacific between Mandun and" Liv-
ngslon. An eagle-eyed hunter gave me the
fallo'wing interesting details 'as to the med/rs
nperundt‘ in slaughtering herds of buffalo. ‘
in the first place, the experienced hunter
uses the Sharp rifle. With this he ”can kill
at one thousand yards. When he sees a
herd of buffalo he usually slips up to within
convenient range, from three hundred to
five hundred yards, and always selects a cow
for his first victim. He does this for the '
reason that the cow is followed‘by botli her
yearling and tw‘o—year-old calves, and they
will usually stand by her to the last. But
under no circumstancés will the experienced
hunter kill his buffalo outright. If he does
the herd will stampede at once. The policy
is to wo'und fatally, but so that the animal
will dash around in a circle before falling.
This it always does when mortally wounded,
and after a. few moments lies down. I
The remainder of the herd are not. alarmed
at this, but continue to graze, or look on
dazed spectators of the tradgedy being on-
acted. After his first shot the hunter pauses
until quiet is restored, and again fires at an
other cow, with similar results. He always
aims to put his ball just behind the fore
shoulder, which will cause death in five min-
utes at furthest. When the cows have all
been Slain he then turns his attention to the
calves, and lastly to the bulls. The experi-
enced hunter generally bags the entire herd
unless he is so unfortunate as to' drop his
game immediately, when all the survivors
stampede at once. The buffalo does not
score at the crack of a. gun. He has decid-
edly more courage than discretion. If is
only when the crack is followed by an imme-
diate full that he realizes its deadly nature
and takes alarm. The policy of killing the
cows first and then the calves has resulted in
the almost. utter extinction of the female
buffalo. Herds of melancholy bulls can
still occasionally be seen, sometimes in bands
of tucnfy or thirty, and Often without a sin-
gle cow.
