Events Great and small OF Interest All
Around the State.
THE Nebraska state board OF trans
portation has received numerous appli-
cations for appointments as deputy in
spectors, under the new warehouse law,
but just at present the members of the
board are too busy trying to find out
what the law contemplates and requires
to have any particular concern about
grain inspectors. Although the bill was
framed on the lines OF the Illinois law,
the state officers are not familiar with
the operations Of the latter, and the
Nebraska act is puzzle to them. The
secretaries Of the board have also been
set to work to unravel its mysteries, but
they, too, confess that they have not
yet solved the riddle. Members Of the
board talk Of going to Chicago and st.
Louis to get enlightenment from their
systems, aud II they themselves do not
60 it is likely the secretaries will be
sent. The board will act on the opinion
of the attorney general that the act

to be paid from the inspection fees.

Sc. lur Civilization.

The Russian Government some time
ago decided to make some admins
trative and educational reforms in
Asiatic Russia, and, with view to pro-
ceeding intelligently, sent to its officials
In Siberia intcrrogatory circular letters
OF considerable minuteness. The pre-
siding officer in the district AlSmolinslr
was asked, with the others, as to the
progress OF civilization in the region he
had the honor to superintend. He re-
turned this answer, which was pub
Iished recently in the Siberian Messen-
ger: 1.-THE civilization is not to be
found in the territory under my super
vision. 1t may have withdrawn to the
Chinese border, although 1 can not say
to certainty. The Governor, how
ever, has sent out two Cossack horse
mon to look it up, and they may have
found it at the present writing" In re-
Spouse to the emphatic and rather un-
complimentary comments of the st.
Petersburg Office on this remarkable
statement, the AlSmolinsk official ex-
planned that he thought that by 'civ.
ilization" the Government had meant
IN obscure tribe of Kirgeez, and that,
acting in accordance with this belief.
he had instituted the search mentioned
in his first answer.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIzA-

A bill to create a State Board of
Assessors and Equalization has passed
the Assembly, and a motion to recon-
slider the vote by which it passed was

and will doubtless receive his ap-
proval. 1t deprives County Assessors
Of the authority to assess railroads,
and places the power to do so in a
State Board consisting Of the Cover

State, Surveyor-General and Attor-
noy-General. This Board may also
increase or reduce the assessments of
individuals or Corporations. Should

SENATOR JOHN NJ. PALMER.

Gen. Palmer was elected United
States Senator by the Illinois Legis-
lature on the first ballot Wednesday,
being the 154th ballot of the session.
The veriication Of the roll call
showed that every Republican voted
for ,Lindley; every Democrat for
PALMER; Moore and Cockrell for
Palmer, and Taubeneak for Streeter,
giving Palmer 103 votes, Lindley 100
and Streeter l.
General John NJ. Palmer, who is "A
years of age, is a Kentuckiun by birth
although he has lived in the sucker
State ever since he waa boy of 10,
removing thither with his parents in
1882. He soon entered law and poll
tics, at both of which he was success
full In 1856 he was delegate to the
first Republican National Convention,
for the old General began his career
ms Republican changing to "liber-
al Republican" at the time of Gree
ley's domination, landing finally
plump in the Democratic camp.
I'almer's military career is an honor
able one. He served with Fremont
and Sherman in the rebellion, COM
manded. the Fourteenth army corps
and the Department OF Kentucky, re-
signing his commission of Major
General in 1866 to re-enter politics.
In 1868 the Republicans elected him
Governor Of Illinois, in which ca

terms.

THE EASTERN DANCE.
1t Is = Product OF Physical Endurance
Begun In Early Youth.


Begun In Early Youth.
One of the most attractive features of
the recent exposition in Paris was the
Eastern dancing girls. In half dozen
or more booths or. tents, scattered
about the grounds, these strangers of
another world and civilization held
their unique receptions: The spectacle,
to Western eyes, is SO entirely new and
unprecedented that the first effect of it
is mere establishment. After further
experience its strangeness begins to re-
solve itself into beauty; we can discrim-
mate between the comparative merits of
dancers, and dispense applause iu-
diciouSly, writes Julian Hawthorne in
Dress.
A narrow stage occupies one end Of
the room, which may be thirty-six feet
square. On the stage, in semi-circlc,
Git the dancers and the musicians. The
latter produce concert chiefly with d
sort of drums, and pipes that emit a
noise not unlike the scream of a bag
pipe. 1t is a bewildering, exciting
noise, which, after awhile, begins to
heat the brain and hurry the pulse. In
the midst of it, a young woman rises,
swathed about in silks and muslins,
and with bangles and necklaces
juggling and sparkling at every move
ment. " Her body sways easily between
her launches, and her air is partly
indOlent and partly suggestive of
latent vigor. AS she faces the audience,
undulations pass through her body; and
these undulations are not only lateral,
but vertical. Any one who has OBJ
served the belly of a snake in motion
has seen the counterpart of this move
ment.
While the undulations are going on,
the girl is in other respects performing
slow, graceful and languid dance.
Her arms rise and fall and wave about
her head; she turns her face from side
to side, and occasionally smiles as if in
a vOluptuous dream; her feet shifting
rhythmically and without haste; and
ever and anon she turns completely
round, but always slowly and dcliber4
ately. The marvel and singularity of
the performance lies in the undulations
Of the front of the body. 1t is impos-
sible for European to produce even
the germ of such a movement. The
girls have been trained from early
childhood in the use of groups of
muscles of the very existence of which
we are ignorant. Their control of
them is absolute. The extent and
power of the contractions is astonish-
ing.
In n European it would be almost re-
voting, but in these Oriental damsels
the effect is different. We recognize
that the "dance" is natural to them;
that it belongs to their race and genius,
and that it has come down to them
from an epoch as ancient as the sides
of the pyramids and the infancy of
Buddha. 1t is not to be criticised by
our crude contemporary standards of
convention, fashion or morality; it is to
be accepted, wondered at, for what it
is, and has been since the East was the
East.
