Blaine the Coming Man.

AUGUSTA, Me-, March 29.-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. THE family, relatives and
near friend of Blaine in Augusta, pronounce
the statement that Blaine will not live the
year out made in q letter received in Indian
apolis or even that he is in Ill health, abso-
lutely false. They emphatically assert that
Blaine is in perfect health, vigorous in body
and mind, and that all statemtnts to the con
trary are part of the plan to continually ira
duce him. An Augusta gentleman, personal
friend of Blaine, Just returned from New
York and relates that while at the Fifth
Avenue hotel he met Bryce Lawrence, one of
Roscoe Conklings former lieutenants, who
said Blaine would surely be nominated; the
state was solid for him. The state committee,
ion Unless something unlocked for occurred
Blaine was the coming man.

THE NEWS In THE BLUFFS.
The Ogden House Leased For
Five Years.
ooINes IN UNCLE SANS COURT
An Iowa Boy Sues His Father For a
Promised Farm-Chief Temple
ton will stay-Playing
Crazy.


The opening of the Ogden house is now an
assured fact, and the date is fixed as the first
of May. Messrs. Stout & Dooley, the pro-
prietors, have just perfected five years
lease of the building TO Mr.. S. E. Hunt, Of
the Southern hotel of St Louis, and MIR. A.
b. Davenport, of the Millard, of Omaha.
Both these gentlemen have had extensive ex-
perience in the hotel business, and are ex-
actly the men for the place. Mr.. Dooley in
formed BEE reporter yesterday morning
that several important changes would be
made in the house, that it would be fitted up
in strictly first class shape, and conducted rs
q number one hotel in every respect. A
large passenger elevator is to be put in, the
Office, washroom and corridors laid with
marble tiles, the kitchen thoroughly over
hauled and furnished with new range,
and such other changes as may be
necessary for the comfort and convenience of
guests. The proposed improvements will
probably cost nearly $4,000. Said Mr..
Dooley. "The reason why we have not
made lease, and had the house opened be-
fore is mostly on account of the scheme be-
ing worked by the board of trade to build a
new palace hotel Several parties came here
to lease our house, but on learning of the
afford to take it as they would be knocked
out completely if the new building was put
up. Furthermore, we were not particularly
anxious to lease to any Of these parties as IL
would have been more or less of an expert
ment, ana we wanted men who would surely
make q success of it, and in this we have sue
ceeded. In fact these same gentle
men were at first opposed to it, but
on carefully looking over the ground,
they decided that here was a splendid open
ing, and made up their minds that if this
house was reftted and properly conducted
no new hotel would be built The lessees
are widely known and have made an enva-
BILE reputation as wide-awake and successful
hotel men. When the projected changes are
completed, the house will present quite diff
ferent internal appearance. The marble
work is to be done by the Pickle Marble
company, of st. Louis. This firm is now at
work putting in the marble at the govern
ment building, and their men will suspend
work there about the first of next week in
order to fix up here. The contract for
the elevator is not yet let. but
Omaha and St. Louis parties are now
figuring on it, 1t will be placed in the office
by the side of the dining room door. We are
highly pleased in securing such prominent
hotel men, and have no doubt as to the re-
sultn
The opinion expressed by many of the bus
mess men who have heard of the new lease
Is one of qualification, and they predict the
greatest success for the new lessees.
If fitted up and furnished as it should be,
the Ogden is amply commodious to accommo-
date the travelling public and such regular
boarders as would have patronized new
hotel.
The proposed opening is very welcome to
the citizens of Council Bluffs, and is hoped
will prove grand success.

Death Of a Tattooed Tramp.

VAIL, Ia, March 2S.-[Special to the Bee
in the afternoon of Monday last, tramp,
in endeavoring to board freight car in
train leaving this town, missed his footing
and fell between the cars between the rails.
Some eight or nine cars passed over him roll
ing him along, until the train was quickly
brought to a stand. 1t was then found the
poor fellow was sadly mutilated. Medical
aid was at hands and every effort made
TO relieve the sufferer. During the attend
ance of the doctors the man stated his name
was Fred Brooks; that his father was w. G.
Brooks, living on Virginia avenue, Omaha;
that there was no number to the house; that
it was no use writing to his friends. About
three hours after the accident the man died.
The case was duly investigated by Coroner
DIR, Graham, Of Denison, Ia, and j have
thought it best TO advise you of the particu-
lars of the case, as some one in or about
Omaha may recognize him by the description
following, and possibly inform
the deceased whose remains We're

Vail cemetery. The man was about fiye feet
eight inches tall, light complexion, gray

away coat, good red underclothing, in fact

back of left hand star; inside Of each
wrist, clasped hands; posterior of fore left

For some time past Mr.. r. II. Bryant has
been in correspondence with a prominent
chemist in the east, who has discovered
new method of manufacturing white lead
from pig. The advantages secured in his
discovery are these: BY the old method of
corrosion from three to six months time IS
required to reduce it and get it ready for use.
One hundred pounds of pig will produce
about one hundred and nineteen pounds of
white lead. The silver which the lead con-
tains, though small IN quantity is lost on ac-
count of the expense incidental to its separa-
ton. The silver averages about 81 to the ton
of lead, which, while not figured in the esti-
mated profits, would amount to considerable
in the aggregate. BY this new process but
three days. time is required in the manufac-
ture. On account of the existence of GER
tain element in the crude lead a long time is
required to overcome by corroding, but this
method, hence the difference in the time re-
quired by the two processes.
Mr. Bryant is in possession of samples Of
lead produced by both methods. BY corro-
sion both English and American leads show
great discoloration when subjected to the
sewer gas test the American being nearly
brown. While the otlsar, produced by the re-
cent methods, is perfectly white, although
subjected to the same test.
Those who have the matter of developing
the new discovery are desrous of starting
ten factories, at well located points in this
country This place has been selected as one
of the ten, and without doubt a factory will
be located in either Council Bluffs or Omaha.
That an investment in this enterprise would
pay there is scarcely room for question, as
the following figures will show: A plant
capable Of handling ten tons per day will
cost $40 900, and the net profit will be 40 per
cent. The plan on foot is to organize stock
company which shall have sufficient financial
backing to carry the enterprise to what can
not help but be an assured success.

''If it is fair question, who is to be the
new chief Of the fire department." asked a
BEE reporter of on alderman yesterday.
"There won't be any change" was the de-
cided reply.'
"Some of them say there will be-"
"Some of them say good deal, and what
is more, some of them don't know anything
about it. You don't hear any aldermen say
so. 1t seems to me the council ought to be
entitled to credit for some sense at least and
they surely wouldn't exhibit any in making
a change. In this case it would be folly to
appoint new man simply because there is
q change in the administration, when his
work is entirely above criticism. No, sir,
most assuredly there will be no change in

A Nebraskan Disarms a Deputy sherift
and Advises Him.


Phil Watson. who was tried here sew
eral months & on the charge of being
privy to the murder of Gum by the no.
torious Bill Mccoy, was generally con-
sldered to be pretty much on the bad man
order himself. People around here were
under the impression that he ate raw
beeisteak and would Just as soon cut a
mans heart out as take a drink, liquor
being plentiful. In the light of recent
events it seems that whatever bravado
Watson possessed was absorbed by asso-
citation with Mccoy, whom all agree is a
desperate of the old school.
A gentleman who arrived from the
north Sunday, says that at Casper, where
Watson is deputy sheriff, he had occasion
TO cover a Nebraska cyclone named
Walker with his six-shooter. Walker
acted as though the pair we're actors and
the incident a scene in a play. He
snatched the weapon from Watson, sent
six bullets into the floor uncomfortably
near the officials feet, and handing the
weapon back cody remarked that he in
tended remaining in town several days,
but had no disposition to iniure anyone if
treated civilly.
