Tuesday evening Jerry Herman, Dick
Grandon and Burt Mccoy went into the
back door of r.. G. Enewolds store,
corner of Sixteenth and California ptreets,
and carried off several pairs of shoes.
Later in the night they were all arrested
and lodged in Jail. When arrested, two
of the fellows had the new shoes upon
their feet ana the third had pair in his
hands. They were sent up to the county
Jail to await trial.
Dug Mcclure, one Of the toughest and
slickest sneak thieves in this city, was
arrested last night for completely in
several small stealings which have oc-
Cured of late. He is in the county jail
awaiting an examination.

ACCORDING to the report of the civil
service commission there are in all about
10000 persons holding Office under the
United States government, OF this
number $4,000 are postmasters, 1000
are in the railway mail service, and 1900
in the internal revenue service, the rest
being divided among the customs and
consular service and officers and clerks
of congress and federal courts. A large
proportion OF the whole number, how
ever, are classed as laborers. Coming
within the provisions of the civil service
law, and being protected thereby, are
three classes as follows: 5,652 depart
ment employees, receiving salaries from
the government from 81 900 to 81, ,S00per
anum; 5,699.postal employees, receiving
from $500 to 81 800 per annum, and
2,572 customs employees, receiv-
ing from 5000 to 81 800 per annum. In
the three branches of the classified SER
vice there are, therefore, about fourteen
thousand places that can be filled by
competitive examination only. This
leaves the large number of 10000 per-
sons subject to removal, more than half
of whom are postmasters. In Washing
ton the chances will not, in the event of
Clevelands election, it is believed, ex-
ceed five hundred outside of the printing
bureau. This will include the higher
officers and the laborers. 1t will be seen
that although the civil service rules may
be continued in force, the greater
portion of the present federal officials will
have to go.

make sufficient effort. II this Is true,
they are certsinlymaklng grave mistake
and they cannot correct it any tooeoon, for
the people wdl begin to think that Omaha
dealers do not care for their trade. II
there are serious obstacles in the matter
of transportation, vigorous steps should
be taken to have them removed. ntil
we have better railroad connections we
must make the best use Of those we now
have. Northern Nebraska will continue
to increase in population and wealth, for
there is yet room there for many hun.
dreds of thousands of people, and now
is the golden opportunity of Omaha to
make that region one of it's most profit
able tributaries. This can only be done
by railroad system of our own, other
wise northern Nebraska will continue to
feed Sioux City and Chicago.

A Noted Railroad Engineer Dead.

Binghamton, N. Y, October 80 Tom
De Witt. locomotive engineer, noted
all over the north for his daring exploits,
died at his home in Susquehanna thi,
morning. De Witt was a man who, In
the latter part of 1860, in the railroad
war on the Albany road, ran an Erie
engine square into one coming in an np-
posite direction, demolishing the locomo.
tive of the Albany force and throwing
it of the track. He ran his engine for
the last few rods under a whitening fire
under which his fireman, the sheriff of
Boop County, and all his party jumped
from the engine and ran. De Witt
vas very cool in the face of danger.
He was in the great disaster at Iiogs, a
few miles west of this city, in the spring
Of 1881, where several persons were
killed. Dewitt stuck to his post and
escaped with slight injuries. He was a
prominent member of several railway
His funeral will be con-
Quoted by railroad men at Owego, Satur-
day next.

THE city council has ordered the board
of public works to advertise for proposals
for $4,000 yards more of paving. The
streets on which this paving is to be done
are not desgnated, nor do we know at
present whether any OF this paving Is to
be done this year. If it is not to be laid
this year it seems to us needless to invite
proposals at this time. In any event,
however, the property owners should
have their eyes wide open. They should
sign no petitions until they know what
they are about Councilman Furay, in
his remarks before the eoaucil, gave hint
as to the peculiar methods employed by
contractors to get signers to theirpetitions.
La some instances we understand parties
who signed were induced to do 30 by re.
bates, which are nothing more nor less
than brides. The Colorado sandstone
agent is known TO have secured sigma.
lures under false pretenses. The right
way to do is to have meeting of the
property owners of each street and de-
eide intelligently what kind of pavement
they want, and not allow themselves to
be bamboczled. We understand that
there is scheme on foot to put Colorado
sandstone on Farnam street west of Fif.
teenth. Nothing but granite should bs
used for the extension on that street, at
least as far west as Nineteenth. The
Colorado sandstone may bs little cheap.

VOICE CULTURE. ~

The impression speaker makes de
pendu frat upon his carriage, his figure,
his personal appearance as he comes be,
fore his audience; next upon his voice
aud lastly upon his words. A poor
presence may be almost overcome by a
beautiful voice, but it must be fine
form indeed that can make an audience
overlook harsh or weak and thin
voice. Especially to ministers and teach
ers is the care of the voice of prime i'm
portance, yet every one recognizes the
advantage TO health in influence a full,
rich voice is the possessor.
Foreigners pretend 10 know Americans
by their bad voices; true it is that no
where in Europe does one find the harsh
nasal tones universal in this country.
Doubtless the climate is one cause, for a
a constant cold and all sorts OF throat and
catarrhal affections must eventually in.

than this is the careless manner we have
Of using our voices. Almost without er.

ONE of the worst features of the pl

ONE of the worst features of the pres
ent city charter is the power which the
council can exercise in passing ordinanc
es under suspension of the rules at one
session, The council last night passed
an ordinance changing the grade on
Farnam street, west of Thirtieth. We
venture to say that nobody, outside of a
very few persons interested in thia
change, was consulted, nor as far as we
can learn is there any good reason why
this change should be made. No change
of grade should be made on any street
without due notice being given to all
parties Interested, and everybody owning
property on Farnam street is interested
in tha. thoroughfare. The chang,
of grade on West Farnam stree
will make the roadway much sleeper thar
the present grade, and hence it will be {
detriment to everybody on that street.
Why should the council make such haste
This passing of ordinances under sus
pension of the rules in one night rs sub
ject that will very properly come under
the notice of the members of the Douglas
county legislative delegation. If our
CHARTER needs amending in any one par
ticular it is in the prevention o. hasty leg
islation. This kind OF legislation is sci.
dom, if ever, done in the interest of the
public or Of the Taxpayers, but for the
benefit of some scheming jobbers or of
parties whose interests clash,with those OF
the municipal corporation. The constitu'
tion of Nebraska very properly prohibits
the passage of any bill unless it is read in
each house of the legislature on three
different days, and the spirit of that
fundamental law should be incorporated
in our charter to prevent hasty legisla'
ton.

THOSE republicans who fear that the
grand old party has received fatal blow
should brace up. To such weak. kneed
republicans we commend the following
'stimulant" from the New York Journal:
The republicans are true grit. They
came in with Abraham Lincoln, and il
they must go it will be with colors flying
and drums beating. Take it for all and
all it has been grand old party. To it
the nation owes much of its life and
progress. Although apparently over
shadowed by its old and brave opponent,
it yet lives. The republican party can
never die

Morrison tariff bill, only eighteen have

Gratis who voted to consider that measure
nearly 100 are reelected. 1t will be
