ness portions OF the city and the streets
adjacent which may threaten their safe
ty. The present limits are toe contrac-
ted and with the remarkable growth of
Omaha are daily becoming more so
The time has come when enough terri
tory should BIO taken in to secure us from
the dangers of q conflagration which
may sweep away hundreds of thousands
of property in a single night.
In making the required fire limits. the
council should be guided by the tendency
of business to take certain directions in
its extension. If the court house is made
one center, u radius of six or seven
blocks covering portions not already
within the fire limits would do much
towards securing the end needed. Other
points can easily be taken from which
extensions al bo made to protect other
sections of the city. Sixteenth street to
Nicholas should ut once be included
within the limits, and before long the on.
tire flats between the hill and the bluffs
must be protected in the same way.
Omaha is still n city of frame houses
and it will never be anything else until

that the continued construction of dan

cease. With all our fire protection, a

SARATOGA, N. Y, June 1S--As the train
started for Mt McGregor Gen. Grant waved
his handkerchief from the car. On the trip
up he sat in cane-seated arm chair and de-
voted his time principally to viewing the
beautiful scenery along the route. AT Mt.
McGregor, everybody was on the alert when
it was learned that message had been re-
ceivod saying, "Gen. Grant has just left sar-
atoga and is on his way up to the noun

The finishing touches had been given to
the ''Grant COTTAGE and the group at the
mountain listened anxiously for the whistle
Of the train. The welcome sound was soon
heard and the train pulled up at the rustic
station and in few moments the entire
party alighted.
A cot had been provided with mattresses
and pillows on which to carry the general to
the cottage, but it was not used. Gen. Grant
stepped from the car assisted by Col Grant,
and started to walk with a comparatively
firm step, and leaning on the arms of Off
GERS John M. Fryer and James Mevick, he
walked up the inclined walk and into the
urDOT, WHeFe U6 rested III CndlT.
After brief rest the officers picked up
the chair, and carried the invalid to the foot
of the steps of the cottage. Here the general
motioned to be set down, and with his cane
in his hand he raised himself out of the chair
and astonished his friends by the ease with
which he assembled the steps to the piazza,
where he was handed chair. The cottage

that quiet is maintained and that the gen.

The general passed most of the time in the
afternoon resting on reclining chair on the
piazza. Twice on the trip from New York
DIR. Douglas attended to his throat and once
after his arrival here Gen. Grant appeared
ON the piazza in the evening and remained
there as late as 1880 o'clock, when he retired.
at a late hour DR.. Douglas reported him
as doing as well as could be expected, and
that he seemed to have gained some
strength.
At 1915 p. m. everybody in the cottage re-
tired to rest. Con. Grant rose quite early
in the morning, feeling quite refreshed after
a comparatively good nights rest His throat
troubled him a little, but he received quite
the usual amount of sleep he takes under
such circumstances. The general expresses
himself as being delighted with his new home
at Mount McGregor, and says he feels that

CLEVELAND, o., June 1S.-The state con-

the Republican party and particularly Mr..
Foraker, who won their disapproval by run
ming on the liquor tax platform two years

form this year. Forty-eight of
the delegates although voting to
oppose the Republicans, were opposed to
the resolution committing the union to lend
its aid to the Prohibitionists. The Republi-
cans are very indignant and have dubbed
the union the Democratic aid society,"
Several of the union delegates who were
opposed to going back on the Republicans
were actuated by the fear that it would cut

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE son of the
United States consul at Sidney states that it
is current rumor there that Hanlan had a
large sum wagered on himself to beat Beach,
but in a squirt on the river a few days before
the race Beach proved himself to be the
superior oarsman. Hanlan then withdrew
all his bets, but did not give his friends the
same chance. This left much bad feeling,
and the general impression among sporting
men in Australia is that Hanlan could out
row Beach if he would subject himself to q
rigid course of training instead of living a
life of ease at the club.
