Commissioner,

G During the late unpleasantness, Joseph
E. Johnston, of Virginia, became quite
noted as one of the big confederate gen
erals, and has since In all histories of the
war figured more or less exteneively as
one of the southern army's greatest COM
manders. Sincs Cleveland got to be

the general last evening for an

However, he Is very gray, though stands

duties, which begin at this point, involve
a personal inspection of all books and
tracks of land grant roads, VIZ: the
Union Pacific, Sioux City & Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific. To-day he goes up to

DISTRESSlNGIY SAD
Two Little Boys, Brothers, Drowned il
North Omaha Greek.
They go Down the Last Time Locked
in Each Others Arms-The
Father Thrown Into
Fits.

One of the saddest cases of drowning
that the BEE reporter has been callet
on to chronicle for many months occurred
about 4 o'clock yesterday In NORTH
Omaha creek, near Thlrty-third snt
Davenport streets. The Victims are two
little boys, Albert and Joseph Susteric
aged IL and 8 years respectively, sons o
Joseph Suateric, a carpenter who lives OF
Pierce, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. Yesterday morning the boy
went to visit their little friends, sons o.
Mr.. Pechet, who lives near the corner Of
Thirty-third and Davenport streets. No
far from Mr.. Pechet's house a large POND
Of water about twenty-five feet deep hai
been formed In north Omaha creek, anc
is q very tempting place for boys these
hot days. Joseph Susterlc took q notion
to 60 into this pond swimming, but his
older brother tried to persuade him not
to do 1t. He could not be thus induced,
however, so threw off his clothes and
plunged into the deep water, head fore
mont. Not being able to swim, on com.
Ing up, he suddenly went down sgain.
The older boy jumped In with his clothes
he could not swim either. They
caught hold of each other, and sunk to-
gether for the third and last time. MI.
Pelchit's boy, a very little fellow, and an
equally small companion of his, witnessed
the sad event, but were not old enough
to understand what 1t meant. Several
men were at the railroad grade near by,
and could easily have rescued the boys
had alarm been given to them.
When 1t was finally discovered
that the little fellows had been drowned
a crowd soon congregated at the pond and
Coroner Drexel was sent for. Soon as
he arrived graphing hooks were secured
and a search was commenced for their
bodies. After about two hours work
Albert's body was found and taken out.
for the other boy, but without success.
1t Is supposed that he Is lodged in the
branches of a large tree that lays at the
bottom of the pond and may never be
found. When the news was broken to
Mr.. Susie rlc, their father, 1t 30 effected
him that he became seized of
q violent fit aud went raw
Ing mad. 1t required the combined
strength of four or five strong men to
hold him until a d ,ctor could be brought, |
when he was placed under the influence
of opiates, which made him lay quiet.
The doctor thinks that 1t Is doubtful
whether he will recover the shock. The
body of Albert was removed to Drexel &
Maul's undertaking establishment and
kept there over night. Mr.. Susterlc has
two more children, younger and smaller
than the unfortunates, but 1t seems that
the two boys, who were bright little
were his greatest pride, and the
loss of them is more than he can

BURIED ALIVE.
Two Men Suddenly Find Themselves
Covered With DIRT in a
Sewer.

Mr.. Herman Kuntz's regular hired
map, a young fellow by the name of Cass,
and another employee recently engaged,
whose name could not be learned, met
with an accident yerterday afternoon,
which, might have been much more Sc
rlous than 1t was In it's results. While
at work, laying pipe In a sewer, near Mr..
Kuntz's house, between hickory and
Williams streets, thirteen feet under
ground, one side of the bank caved In ON
them. The strange man was buried en-
tirely out OF sight and Cass was buried
up to his chin. Both were exhumed very
quickly and lifted to the surface, and 1t
took several minutes hard work to revive
the stranger, However, neither were 80
badly injured but that they will be ready

FIouRINo MILLS.

A gentleman recently from Springfield,
Mo-. who is conversant with the four man
ufacturing interests of that city, in converse
ton with a reporter Of the EAGLE stated
that the entire product Of the mills OF that
civ, which is quite extensive, is shipped to
a southern market, and that almost every
CITY Of the southern states. even to the sea-
board, are supplied to a greater or less ex-
tent by Springfield -four. The Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Gulf railroad furnishes
transportation to the Mississippi river at
Memphis and enables Southern Missouri TO
compete with the St. Louis -four trade.
Now the question comes home 10 the peo-
pie Of Wichita who are, perhaps, more m
terested in the grain product than any other,
| WHY Southern Kansas cannot successfully
compete with Springfield and find better
market for the manufactured -four than the
wheat market Of Kansas City Offers. Ger
tainlv there is no economy in sending wheat
to that market when there is so good mar
| ket for manufactured -four in the south
Taking these circumstances in consideration
| it is easy to see that the entire product o.
wheat ought through all rules Of economy
to be manufactured here and the remunera
| tive trade of the south fully cultivated
The same principle is illustrated by the fac
that the wheat raisers of Illinois and TN
wheat raisers of Southern Kansas, everything
being equal, are not on equal terms Will
eastern markets, because Illinois is neare
eastern markets and the difference in freigh
forces the price of Kansas wheat to pric
less than that realized by more eastern sec
tions. Therefore if a market Is found at al
equal distance with that of Illinois thel
the advantage for larger yield is with US
That market is in the south and the s'one
we realize it the better.
While great interest Is being manifesto
in the introduction of manufactures
might well be considered if the -four manu-
featuring interest Is not predominant to a
others and the very stepping stone to on
greatness That there is settled convlt
ton that direct railroad route TO the Gel
ter of the cotton belt should be built it
nevertheless true that with present faciliti'
there is ample markets for all the product
Of the mills of this section OF the state.
