No doubt ere long peanut -four will

Virginia is sot down this year for . 100,
600 bushels, Tennessee for 300, 900 and
North Crrolina mt 135, 900 bushels, these
being the chief states engaged III their
cultivation, and those in which it was
first introduced from Africa. In Virginia
they are called peanuts" in North Caro-
lima %"ground peas in Tennessee ''goob-
ers," and in Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, '%'pindels." Nirginians are be-
ginning to turn the peanut into flour, and
say it it makes a peculiarly palatable
''biscuit." In Georgia there is n custom,
now growing old, Of grinding or pound
ing the shelled peanuts and turning them
into pastry, which has some resemblance,
both in look and taste, to that made of
%cocoanut, but the peanut pastry is more
oily and richer, and, we think, healthier
and better every way. If, rs some peo-
pie believe, Africa sent II curse to Amer

THE BEE LINE,
Representatives Of Vanderbilt Visit
Omaha in Its Interests.
Interesting Kumors as to n New Road
Between st. Louis and
Omaha.

4 SPECIAL car of the c. G. c. n l. line
arrived in Omaha from st. Louis yesterday
morning with a number of prominent
railroad men, who registered at the Mil
eaux, of Cleveland, the president of the
Bee line system of railroads; James Til
linghast, of New York, assistant to Pres
ident Vanderbilt; Hon. II. Z. Ranney, of
Cleveland, John r. Duff, of Boston, and
T.. w. Burrows, of Illinois.
A reporter of The BEE met Mr.. Dew
erauxi i'll the rotunda of the Willard Just
as he came down from breakfast, and
presented his card. Mr.. Devereaux had
been there before. He said:
1--WE cannot at present divulge any of
our plans to the press. assure, you l
feel very kindly disposed to newspapers,
but we have not got our arrangements
into such shape yet that they will bear
publication. You "a do all the guess
ing you please, however"
at is generally rumored sir, that your
party is here to see about building a new
road from st. Louis to OMAHA gently
insinuated the reporter.
The president of the Bee line hesitated
a moment and then said:
well, sir, | cannot say anything. But
the Vanderbilt lines, including the only
four track road in the country, extend
from New York to Chicago and New
York to st. Louis. Here they stretch
Briareus armed. Now do you suppose
they are going to stop therel But you
must not ask me. Do all the guessing
you please, you know"
This was quite enough. The reporter
didn't stop to guess, butinterviewed some
others. The party had been at st. Louis
on business concerned with connecting
the Vanderbilt lines with that city and
the west, and had a conference with gen.
tlemen there connected with the project
of building a belt road around st. Louis.
They were figuring to see on what terms
they could obtain the charter and fran
chises of the Belt Road company, in
order to secure easyentrance to st. Louis
and the Union depot.
This contemplated road of the Wander
bilt system is to run from st. Louis to
Kansas City, and thence to Omaha, and
it is understood that it is for the pur-
pose of securing an entry into
Omaha that this party was here yes
terday.
Sufficient ground for shops and depot
and yards must also be secured. Mr..
Deveraux and his friends were in consul
tation this afternoon with prominent
railway officials and also with some pri-
vate gentlemen of Omaha. This means
''boom' with IA big b. The Devoreaux
party proceeds to Chicago i'll the morning.

BIT BY \
Singular Death Of II Union Pacific
Conductor.

A singular case was reported yesterday
of fatal bite received from a spider.
Mr.. L.. =. Taylor was Il Union Pacific
conductor, running between Omaha and
Grand Island He had but recently taken
his run, having come out from the east,
and on Sunday night a spider bit him on
the right side of the upper lip. The bite
made him sick from the first but he took
his regular run out once during the week
and then was taken to his bed at the
Grand Pacific, where he died at 5:30a. m.
yesterday,
The deceased was a member Of Divis-
ion No. 26 of the Yardmasters' Mutual
Benefit association, and his funeral will
be in their charge, the remains being
temporarily laid out at Undertaken
Jacobs. 1t is believed that he was also
a member of the Masonic fraternity, and
a dispatch has been sent to his wife, who
is still in the east, to ascertain her wishes
in regard to the disposal of the body.

A CROOKED CLERK.
He is Detected IN a Systematic Course
Of Stealing,
Hut Tan Only I've Punished for Grand
Larceny.

For the past three or four months Mr..
Saml. Burns, the Farnam street mer.
chant, has been missing articles from his
stock, from time to time, which were not
accounted for by the report of sales.
The matter was several times looked
into by the police, but the mystery was
not solved, and at length the deficiencies
become SO frequent that MIR. Burns en-
ploycd Supt. Neigh, of the Western De-
tective association, to ferret out,
it possible, the rascal who was rohbing
him, He put Mr.. Neigh in possession
of certain facts concerning the suspicious
action of one of his clerks, but admitted
that he had all the confidence in the
world in his honesty and integrity. He
a young maj of excellent reputation
and had studied for the ministry original
ly, but abandoned that profession. His
name was Jergcn Jensen Norgard.
Supt. Neigh began to work UP the
soon found that Norgsrd was getting
away with receipts to the amount of
about S13 per day, selling certain articles
and pocketing the proceeds He was de-
tected finally by the use of marked money
and was arrested at 10 o'clock yesterday
while at his usual duties in the store. In
his pocket book was found SO of the
marked money he had taken i'll yesterday
and SO taken ia to-day.
He was taken toNeligh's office and told
of the facts known against him, upon
which he broke down completely and
admitted that he had been taking
money in this way for twoor three months
past. He figured up his total gains by
the process at about $3.50 but Mr.. Burns
and Mr.. Neigh put it at between $500
and 5000. He was taken before Judge
Anderson but as his thefts had never
exceeded S35 at anyone time no more
serious charge than petit larceny should
be preferred against him and he was
accordingly sent up for thirty days at hard
labor.
He was all broken up at his discovery
and confessed that he had always received
the kindest treatment from his employer
and had repaid it most ungratefully. So
deep was his ooutrition that but for the
necessity ef justice tohis fellow merchants
who had suffered from similar cases Mr..
Burns would not have prosecuted him.

THE OPERATORS STRIKE.
\ Plea by the Western Union for the
PrOdiSals' Return.

Chicago lnter-Ocean.
The telegraph strike has been in
progress now three weeks, and the pros
pect of any agreement between the
Brotherhood and the telegraph com
panies seems AS far off AZ ever. Indeed,
the telegraph companies, while saying
they are willing to arrange with and give
employment to men who went out on
the strike, openly declare that they will
in no case acknowledge or treat with the
secret organization which brought the
strike about and is responsible for all the
consequent troubles.
Hitherto The Inter Ocean has con
tented itself with the publication of the
news, giving both the telegraph com
panies and the strikers full opportunity
to state their grievances in its columns;
but MS a conservator of the public good it
seems that the time has come to speak
out against a wasteful idleness that is in
furious to public business, and a heavy
tax on workingmen who can i'll afford to
bear it. The majority of the strikers
must be convinced by this time of the
h~ollowness of the promises Of their
leaders, even if they do not begin to
suspect that they are the victims of
Wall street stock jobbing schemes. If
they have lost their implicit confidence
in the wisdom and virtue of their leaders,
and regret hasty action, they only have
the common experience of mankind. 1t
is a weakness Of the race that we cannot
foresee events to come as clearly as we
can observe results that have become ac-
complished facts, and the result is con
tinual mistakes. There is but one way
to rectify them, and that is 10 repudiate
the misleading elements and act on indi-
vidual Judgment, founded on what has
occurred, and not ON the words Of men
whose promises have utterly failed.
On the 18th day Of July the Inter
Ocean published the new rule that went
into effect July |, which reads as follows:
At all independent Western Union
offices which may be required to keep
open all day Sunday, nine hours actual
service in the day, six days in the week,
and seven hours actual service at night,
seven nights in the week, will constitute
a days work. All service in excess of
a~bove-named hours, including Sunday,
will be regarded as extra, and will be

COMPLETE CONTRACTS.
The Mayor Signs II Number of I'm
pOriant Ones Yesterday.

Yesterday the following contracts
were signed by Mayor Chase, on the part
of the city; With T. W. r. Richards,
for furnishing castings; with VIM. Fitch
q Co., for building the North Omaha ex-
tension sewer; with Patrick McArdlc,

Barber Asphalt Paving company,
for paving Harvey street, and one with
the same for paving Sixteenth street. He
also signed M for grading Sherman
avenue
1t is understood that hereafter, at the
mayors request, duplicate contracts will
be signed, as the papers themselves and
especially the bonds attached to them,
are very valuable. One copy will be kept
at the city hall and the other at the office
of the board Of public works, so that if
one set of papers is burned the others
will be safe.

The Chancerv Court and the Pay OF
the Judge.

Some time ago Judge A. l.. Holiday, of
the Chanccry Court, saw that the furniture
In the courtroom neeaed replacing with
new, and with view Of doing this con-
suited Hon. A. NJ. Kelley, City Attorney,
In order to get his opinion as TO what
funds the money necessary to carry out the
project should be drawn from. Mr.. Kelley
replied in written opinion, in which he
cited many authorities to show that under
The law all moneys needed to pay officers
and servants OF the court, and provide
fuel, furniture, stationery, &C., were
chargable on the books of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts Of the State.
Mr.. Kelley also was OF the opinion that
cities and counties should provide sites and
pay the cost of building all cowt-houses,
and keep them in order afterwards.
Mr. Il. ii. Berry handed this opinion TO
Acknowledgement Francis $. Blair, who
differed with Mr.. Kelley. and yesterday
morning Mr.. Berry received from Captain
Blair written notice to this effect: The

sury, but that all arc charges upon and ia
be paid out Of the treasury Of the city OF

Continuing. Captain Blair wrote that
"chapter 161 OF the Code, that defines the
courts in which the Attoney-Gener shall
appear for the State. as well as Acts OF

this is that the General Assembly has

Heretofore the city OF Richmond and thu
State has paid the salary OF the judge o.
the Chancery Court.
The Judge OF the Chancery Court ha
been getting 1880 from the State and S90(
from the city OF Richmond. The decision

about the matter, but he seemed more anx
ious to hear the views OF Colonel Cutshaw
City Engineer, In regard TO the size OF tn,

new City Hall, and about which the twC
were comforting, than to talk about thi
question. The matter OF his pay did no

what motive, II any, actuated the move
ment, and he did not express any decided
opinion as to what course the matter woul,
take.
