THE MCPHERSON BILL.
Its Friends Fear That IL Has Small
Chances OF Passing This Session.

Its Friends Fear That II Has Small
Chances OF Passing This Session.
Tho failure of the friends of tho Mcpher-
son bill for tho prevention of further con-
traction of tho currency to secure a hearing
in the house yesterday has filed them with
apprehensions that it will be impossible for
them to secure favorable action upon that
measure during tho present session of con-
gross Tho Mcpherson bill proper-the
bill which passed tho senate-is on
the speakers table, with fifty odd
substitute for the wilkins bill reported from
the house banking and currency committee,
which is identical in its provisions with the
Mcpherson bill, holds an equally unfavorablo
position on the house calendar. Neither con
be reached Mt this session except by unani-
nous consent or by motion to suspend the
rules. which eau only bo made on the
third Monday of u month. 1t is not OF
all probable that unanimous consent
can DO had to fix day for the consideration
of oithor bill, and tho manner in which the
banking and currency committee was de-
prived of hearing to-day almost convinced
the friends of the bill that it will not receive
the necessary two-thirds vote to suspend the
rules, if they should get an opportunity to
make such motion on tho third Monday of
next month.
Tho motion to adjourn made yesterday
when tho banking aud currency committee
was reached on the call of committees was
mado by Mr.. Morrison. Mr.. wilkins, who
has charge of tho bill in question, is one Of
tho Ohio democrats who voted to strike out
the enacting clause of the Morrison tariff
bill, and he and some of his associates look
for continued opposition on the part of Mr..
Morrison to their bill, and they fear that this
opposition will prevent the consideration of
their measure at this session.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.


Beautiful faces are those that wear
II matters little If dark or fair--
Wholeaouled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panos, where hoarthrcs glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds,
Yet whose utterGnoo prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that Is earnest aud brave and true.
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that 20
on kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, If God will It so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that boar
Ceasoless burdens of homoly care,
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains fow may guess.

THERE is great excitement among
steamship men on both sides of the
Atlantic over the remarkable run of
the Oregon, the new ship of the Guion
line. She arrived in New York on
Saturday last. The time of the run,
distance 1851 miles, was six days, ten
hours and ten minutes, beating by
seven hours the best time ever before
made. The Captain of the Oregon
thinks she can make the voyage in
five hours less time. Her average
speed was 4G1 miles per day--1944
miles per hour. This is faster time
than was made on the plains railroads
three years ago.

provides that no person will be required

unless he is furnished seat The per
cent of travellers in this country who
would submit to the inconvenience of
standing to save fare is very large.
Courtesy on street cars would also re-
ceive an impetus which would be ex-

Friday.
Cattle men are preparing for the
roundup, which commences at the head
of the Frenchman, May 18th.
Collins Sc Trwillinger, who have been
in the hide business, this spring, have
made several hundred dollars in the
same. Nose, being better posted at
McCook, always takes the hides down
to do the trading for, it don t
matter.
A young man from Massachusetts,
arrived in Benkelman, last week, and
like all the y. m. who come west belongs
to the order called aSmart Alexis" of
which the woods are full, and became
frequenter of the 'Dew-drep, known
all over this country, and a participant
in sundry games of our great national
game called poker. He recently was
engaged in game with Nose Collins,
George Evans and W. Wheeler, and
dispute arising between Collins and Ev-
ans, both drew their ass and commenc
ed firing at each other. The y. M from
the Bay State was standing in between
them at the time, in the act of imbibing
some ''red-eye," and at once took to
his heels for dear life, making for the
skating rink. But the enraged gam
hlers: thinking that he had run off with
the stake, followed him, shooting all
the while, half-mile up the railroad
track, where he hid and remained con-
cealed until II o'clock at night. The
only damages done was shooting through !
the crown of S. hat bought by the y.
M. that day. But the y. m. was so bad
ly frightened that he is now receiving
medical attendance. He telegraphed |
home for money, and swears that he
would sooner be home crimping boots,
than punching COWS in Bcnkelmnn.

nave been done was when the old man
