THE Chicago Times expresses I'M
bounded indignation at the exag-
gerated reports that were transmit
ted from Chicago by telegraph con-
corning the great fire. It is bad
enough" says the Times, "to have
incompetence and folly visited upon
us at home. But to have it sent
abroad is intolerable. Some fool
telegraphed East before nine
o'clock last night that the
fire was already consuming the
Palmer House would inevitably at
tack the Grand Pacific with a judg-
ment day period, and had destroyed
everything from Twelfth street
north to these points. The Obvi-
GUS consequence of such lying is to
impair credit, and harrass business
men; and if the Associated Press is
responsible for the prevaricatiOn of
this particular fool, let him be
bounced.

UNDER the ruling of the Post
office department, the clause in
the post-ofice bill detailing the time
for the prepayment Of postage on
newspapers, to begin on January,
does not cover the clause in relation
to public documents; SO that from
this time forward bound public doc
umsnts can be sent from Washing
ton for ten cents each, without re-
gard to size, and all of which are un-
bound at the rate of 2 cents per

OMAHA has a public park, and


OMAHA has a public park, and
the people, or rather the taxpayers
are contributing several thousand
dollars per annum, for its mainte-
nance and establishment. Pubic
parks maintained at the public ex-
pense are supposed to be accessible
TO the public for whose benefit they
were established.
In other words public parks
should not be monopolized by any
portion of the community. Such
however, seems to be the practical
effect of pic-niekine in Hanscom
Park; when a fee for admission is ex-
acted.

ACCORDING to the Washington
Chronicle, Boss Shepherds effort to
procure the indictment of Dana is
simply an act Of standardization.
We supposed all along that a fair
opportunity to vindicate his corrupt
jobbery had been afforded him by
the Congressional Investigating
Committee. The report of the
committee, and the subsequent ac-
ton of Congress would hardly war
rant the belief that Dana had ma
iioiously invented or exaggerated
Shepherds rascally transactions.

CHEAP COAL FROM THE UPPER MIS-
SOURI,.

THE BEE has repeatedly predicted
that Omaha will eventually procure
her cheapest coal from the upper
Missouri region. That coal, in ex-
haustless quantities, exists in the
Yellowstoneregion is an undisputed
fact. River men, who are familiar
with the country between Omaha
and Fort Benton, have repeatedly
assured us that coal of superior quail.
ity could be found at vaIious points
near the banks of the river, above
Yankton. The only difficulty, SO
far, has been the want of Transports
ton facilities and insecurity from
hostile Indians.
A very important discovery has
recently been made by an expert
enced Pennsylvania coal miner at
q point on the Missouri river, about
one hundred miles above Bismarck.
Specimens of this coal have been
examined at Helena and are pro-
nounced the very best quality of
bituminous coal, fully equal to the
best Pennsylvania. The newly dis
covered coal fields are said to cover
many miles, and would doubtless
furnish a full supply for the entire
Missouri valley for an almost IN
definite period.
These Dakota coal fields are near
er Omaha than are the coal mines
of Wyoming or Kansas. Goal can
be placed in cars at Rock Springs or
Carbon at $3.50 per ton, and there
is no reason why it could not be
mined and loaded in barges for the
same price on the Upper Missouri.
Now, the transportation by water
ought 10 be al least nehundred per
cent cheaper than transportation
by rail. With the full
knowledge of the unproductive
wealth within easy reach it will not
be long before some enterprising
men will try an experiment that
promises greater returns than any
gold or silver mine in the country.
The BEE is now more than ever
convinced that Omaha will ulti-
mately draw her chief coal supply
by the river from the northwest.

Hank Monk on "Saratogas."

Hank Monk, the stage-driver
who gave Horace Greeley his me-
morable mountain ride, in COM
mon with all his tribe, hates the
sight of those ponderous specimens
of architecture, i'm the trunk line
known as the ~"Saratoga bandbox.'
He likes a "Saratoga" about IS well
as a cat likes hot soap. He now
drives on the stage line
between Carson City and
Lake Tahoe. He was driving
on the same line last summer. A
Virginia lady who was stopping at
Inc Glenbrook House had a "Sara-
toga" at Carson which she wished
brought up to the lake. 1t was
about as long and wide as a first
class spring mattress and seven or
eight feet high. The lady had man.
aged 10 get it as far as Carson by rail,
but the trouble was to get it up into
the mountains. Hank had PROM
ised two or three times to bring it up
"next trip" but always arrived
without il. At last Hank drove up
one evening and, as usual, the lady
came out on the verandah to ask If
he had brought her trunk. Like
that great and good man, George,
Hank cannot tell . lie, and, so he
said: "No, ma'am, 1 haven't brought
II, but ] think some Of it will be up
by the next stage"
"Some of it," cried the lady.
"Yes; may be half it, or such a
matter.
"Half of it," groaned the horri-
fed owner of the Saratoga.
ayes; half tomorrow and the
rest next day or the day after"
"Why, how in the name of COM
mon Ems can they bring half Of
it ?"
"Well, when I left they were
saving it In two, and"-
"Sawing it in two? Saving my
trunk in two ?"
"That was what / said" coolly
answered Hank. 1.-TWO men with
a big cross-cut saw were working
down through it-about the middle,
/ Think
"Sawing my trunk in two land
all my best clothes in it Saving it
in the middle! God help the man
that saws my trunk !" and in a
passion she rushed indoors,
threatening the hotel, the stage line,
the railroad company, the town of
Carson and the State of Nevada
with suits for damages. 1t was in
vain that she was assured that
there was no truth in the story Of the
sawing-that Monk was q great
could not be made to be-
lieve but that her trunk had been
sawed in two, until it arrived in
tact and she had examined its con-
tents thoroughly. Hanks "Sara-
toga" joke Is still remembered and
told at the Glenbrook House, but
the ladies see no fun In the yarn
