NOTES ON THE FIRE.

Give us a rest on fires.

We are proud of our efficient fremen.
The burden of talk yesterday was the
fire.
Fortunately the hydrants we're not
frozen.
The police did their duty well at the
co~nflagration.
Midnight alarms of fire are anything
but pleasant.
The public appreciates sacrifices made
in its behalf.
Lots of women turned out to view the
burning building,
Insurance ought to be brisk during the
next eight or ten days.
Metaphorically speaking, our FIRE boys
sleep with one eye open.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people
visited the burned district yesterday.
After their long and arduous duty, we
hope the boys slept s%erenely last night
The co~nflagration has been the means
of advertising u city pretty extensively.
Not a single case of drunkenness was
observed during the prevalence of the
fire.
The several apparatus of the fremen
were not housed until late in the after,

Some great risks were run by the brave
fremen in scaling ladder and crossing
roofs.

officials of the several express companies
were in session twenty-one days in prepar-

ton of which renders the entire express
service a unit, and increaies to an emf

most important factor in the business of
the country. Each company preserves its
individuality intact, thus insuring to the
public that perfection of service which is
ever the result of rivalry, and guarding
against the possibility of combinations

The Omaha Bee of last Monday con-
tains the following: THE people of this
city ought to congratulate themselves upon
the fact hat such a man as Alexander II.
Swan has become interested in Omaha"
said a prominent cattle owner at the Pax
ton hotel the other evening. do you
know anything about Mr., Swans history"
asked the Bees man about town. "Yes,
| have known him for some time, re-
piled the gentleman; MIR. Swan came
from Pennsylvania to Iowa in 1858, when
he was about twenty-five years of age,
bringing with him about $1,000, He
located on some wild land, made some i'm
proyements, and sold u at a profit. Re
investing some of his money in wild land
he went to Ohio, after he had been in
Iowa a little over two years. In Ohio he
bought a farm and remained there seven
years, when he returned to Iowa and en-
gagged in buying and selling cattle, in
which he met with great success. He
finally went into partnership with his
brother, and entered into the business OF
raising cattle. In addition to what capital
they possessed they borrowed some
money and started a cattle herd
in Wyoming. They began with
about 5000 head. The business
of the Swans has increased rapidly since
the time they began cattle raising in Wy
oming, and they and their associates own
and control an immense number of cattle.
Alex. Swan is now the leading cattle man
ofthe west. His personalwealth is estimat-
ed at between s., 1000, 900 and SO, 1000 900,
while at the same time he has the control
and management of 200, 900 head of cat
tie, valued at SC, 900, 900. He has organ.
lied and consolidated under his manage
ment at least half dozen big cattle com
panies and syndicates. The last one that
he organized was the Ogallala Land and
Cattle company of Nebraska, with head.
quarters in Omaha. This company owns
90, 600 head of cattle. Mr.. Swan DIVINE
10000 acres of western lands, with ten
houses, eight barns and fifty corrals fol-
the branding of stock. He also OWNS
lands forty miles from Des MONIES, Iowa,
worth $350,000. Mr.. Swan organized and
located the Omaha stock yards enterprise,
and the dressed beef business in Omaha.
These enterprises will make a big boom
for this city. In fact it has already be-
gun. You can't find a house for rent in
Omaha to-day, and one of the first thing
our capitalists should do is to build a large
number of houses to rent, to provide fol
the increase of population. Yes, it'sa biz
thing for Omaha that Alex. Swan has be
come interested here. He has induced
large number of Scotch capitalists to in
vest in this enterprise and at the SAINT
time he has given several of Omaha
capitalists a chance to make a mint o
money"

BIsToP FUTILE.
His sermon at ST. Mark,s--A Fine Re-
ception. t

A very large audience greeted Bishop
Tuttle, of Utah, at st. Marks Episcopal
church last evening. All denominations
were represented. Bishop Spaulding, Rev.
Mr. Cornell and DIR. Rafter sat in the
ehancel, while the local clergyman were
present in the congregation.
The choir rendered some excellent mu-
sic, some of it having been selected for the
occasion.
Bishop Tuttle prepared his sermon with
a few remarks relative to his trip east,
detailing the results of his observations
very graphically, and giving much infor-
nation. The bishops sermon was on the
subject of the authenticity and holy char
acter of the Bible. He delivered a power
full, logical and convincing sermon. The
bishops language was well chosen but not
fowery; his power lies more in force and
pith than in ornamentation. He could
rather convince and convert with sledge
hammer blows at errors, than to wave away
the erring with a wand of flowers. Aman
of Bishop Tuttle's strength of learning,
logic and language has no room for useless
words. And yet his manner of speech is
highly entertaining and convincing in
character.
After the service, the congregation
gathered at the elegant residence of Luke
Voorhees,. Esq, Ferguson street, where a
reception was held in honor of Bishop
Tuttle. There was a very large assem-
blage of ladies and gentlement pres
ent and the evening was spent very pleas
antly under the social guidance of the
genial host and his estimamble lady.
Bishop Tuttle expressed himself as be-
ing, delighted with his stay in this city
and said that he would hold in pleasant
remembrance the honors paid by the PEG
pie of Cheyenne last evening.
