WILLIAM WAITE WARNER, of Detroit,
has been arrested by United States Off
GERS at Jackson on complaint of Post
Office Inspector Purcell on charge of
using the mails for fraudulent purposes.
Warner claimed to publish daily and
weekly paper and to circulate from 30, 900
TO 60,000 copies. He would write to bust
ness men, requesting goods in exchange
for advertising, receive the goods, print
advertisements in few papers, and send
copy to the advertiser. Mr.. Warner
has evidently been obtaining points from
some of our Omaha contemporaries.

Time for Omaha 10 Wake Up.

NEIGH, Neb., Sept. H.-To the Editor
of the BEE: We learn from reliable au-
thority that the Northwestern are buying
the right of way on the recent survey of
the Union Pacific extension in Ray val
ley north of Albion. and have put on a
large force of graders on Sunday last in
advance of the graders of the Union Pa
ciiic road. How long is Omaha going to
Rip Van Wrinkle on this matter The
business men of the metropolitan city of
this state should meet at once. You will
remember when the Fremont d Elkhorn
Valley road was commenced, how it
startled Omaha fourteen years ago Pub
lie meetings were held and in the almost
Incredibly short time of three days
Omaha commenced two roads, right in
the middle of winter, paying the enor-
nous sum of 45 cents per yard for grad
ing. The ground was frozen twenty-five
inches deep, and yet in less than two
months she had twenty miles of read fin
Ished. Is Omaha asleep to-day? Hasn't
she rs much push MS ever? Has she not
many of the same business men she had
then and many more rs good nOw?. Then

sake, be up and doing. We want COM

ready to enter the arena of controversy
whenever its value and efficiency are
questioned. Nobody will be so unfair as
to say that the service is valueless. 1t has
been shown to have worth, and all in
telligent people understand that it is
desirable and necessary, and must be
sustained But there is fair ground of
complaint that as q source of information
as to whatwi happen in the department
OF scientific observation and prediction
to which It's work belongs it is not reason
ably trustworthy, and the worst of it is
there is apparently no progress making.
a contemporary notes us an example OF
the shortcomings of the signal service
that during the hot spell it was quito
useless in the way of fOrecasting the
probable duration of the smell, or of
defining its causes and conditions. There
was ample and accurate Information as
to what had taken place in all parts of
the country, but the really useful in
formation as to what was to be
almost invariably turned out to be
inaccurate and misleading Those whose
interests require them to give daily at
found them to fail quite as often as they
were fulfilled. The effect of these re-
| peatcd and continued failures is of course
to diminish confidence in the service,
and 1t Is hardly questionable that it is
less generally trusted now than ut an
earlier period in its existence, before the
| popular belief that the forecasts of "Old
Probs.' were based on scientific princi-
| pies, and certain established and reliable
rules, had been severely shaken by find
ing the results more than half the time
directly the opposite of what had been
| promised
The suggestion that the signal service
| should be taken out of the control OF the
war department and placed under scien-
tilic direction and development is not a
new one, but it is likely to be urged in
the future with augmented force unless
| the service rs now managed is speedily
and greatly improved. If we remember
rightly ar effort looking toward such a
change was made at the last session of
congress, but was not very vigorously
pressed. One no inconsiderable diff
Guilty is probably in the fact that the chief
of the service, who is more of soldier
than n scientist, has greater solicitude fol
military discipline and display than for
thorough scientific investigation and
progress. Absolute accuracy in all
cases is of course not to be expected,
| but it does seem reasonable to expect
that the predictions of the bureau shall at
least be fulfilled as often as they fail.

NEW DANCES.
What Devotees OF Terpischore Will
Have TO Learn This Season.

New York journal: Tho professors,
after having considered score of round
dances that had been submitted to them,
decided upon adopting only four of
them. Two of the favored ones are
round and two square dances
The round dances are said to be per-
fectly intoxicating in their loyeliness,
and the man who cannot dance them
should make up his mind that he was in
tended for hitching-post, not waltzer.
The first was evolved from the lively
brain of Professor James Brooks, of
Pttsburg Pa. 1T is called the American
gavot, and is set to polka music. 1t com
bincs the best features of the polka with
those Of the polka redowa. Its effect is
so powerful that the orchestral musicians
sometimes throw down their tiddles and
rush upon the floor To join the madden
ing whirl.
The other round dance is palriotically
christencd the Columbia, and The girls
prefer il To ice cream with soda water
trimmings. 1t was carved out of the
dence, X. L., and it Is expected to become
the fayoritc dance of tho season. The
Columbia is entirely new and is IA COM
binaton OF tr0is temps and the waltz to
schottische music. Men with wooden
legs are especially advised not to attempt
tins innovation.
One of tho square'dances is called the
Octagon, and it is ms complicated as the
account book of n young lady who has
been on a shopping expedition. 1t is a
double quadrilie. with figures and music
entirely new. Prof. IA. q. Rivers, of
brooklyn, was the ingenious architect of
the Octagon, and If he were to run for
mayor of brooklyn the girls would cast a
solid vote for him.
The court quadrille also passed muster
and met the appreciation Of the pro-
fcssors. Prof, SPHINX, of Providence, lay
awake nights thinking over it, and its
effect is as enhancing as a gallon of
opium.
II is danced by eight couples and has
lots OF crazYqult movements while the
music is particularly fine. Eycrythng
in It is new and the dancers arc expected
TO wear new swallow, tail suits and ball
room dresses. 1t promises TO be as catch
ing as the cholera, and thousand times
more popular.

Ir is reported from Washington that i

IT is reported from Washington that in
the event of Mr. Manning not being able
to resume his duties rs secretary of the
treasury he will be sent as minister to Aus
tria, which would at once secure him Il
good salary and enable him to get the
benefit of the health promoting waters
of Europe. 1t has been represented that
the Austrian mission would probably re-
main vacant as long as Mr.. Bayard Is
secretary of state, owing to his resent
ment at the uncomplimentary remarks
passed upon his conduct by the Austrian
premier in connection with the Kelley
correspondence. But, of course, Mr..
Bayard would yield this in the interest
of his colleague in the cabinet. So far
as the merely perfunctory duties of the
mission are concerned they could, per-
haps, be rs well cared for by Il sick man
as healthy one, and we suppose there
would be no objection to Mr, Manning on
social grounds, which appears to be q
cardinal consideration with the Austrian

In his annual message to the Mexican
congress President Diaz congratulates
the country that in the emergency grow
ing ont of the Cntting affair the dignity
of the government was saved without
arousing conflict. He had clear ground
for doing this, since without any buster
or brayado Mexico carried her point,
having set at liberty her troublesome
prisoner when the authorities got ready
to do so, aud without making any con.
ccssion or surrender of any right claimed.
The sacrifice of dignity in the whole pro
ceeding was made by the government of
the United States. With regard To AFRO,
sures, who was taken out of Texas by a
Mexican posse and shot, Diaz claims that
he was n citizen of Mexico, and that con,
sequently there is no occasion for con-
troversy respecting him between the two
governments. 1t is not unlikely that as
10 this affair also the Mexican president
is in the right. The dispatch does not
note any intimation in the message of a
purpose on the part of the government to
modify the obnoxious laws under which
Cutting was arrested and punished,
agreeably to tho demand of Secretary
Bayard.

THE rumors current in Nova Scotia
