The government report gives the number OF
domestic fowls In Mississippi at 5.631 7s4, and
the egg product was placed at IL 3s3, 4ss
dozen. There Is a constant demand for poul-
try In all the southern as we'll as western
and eastern cities, and at good prices the year
round. As TO eggs. there Is never at any
time Of the season a too great number OF them
in the market; in fact, there Is now a large
import trade Of eggs brought to this country
from Norway and other foreign points. The
man who cares to embark in the poultry bust
ness can find no place better adapted to his
purpose than Orchard Homes. He not only
has a climate extremely favorable to his
needs. but he has the very best OF shipping
facilities. A gentleman recently in the United
States postal service, but now engaged In the
chicken business near Orchard Homes, IN
forms us that he cannot begin to supply the
orders at good prices that he is constantly IN
receipt of from New Orleans alone, and that
he could market four times the number OF
Eggs that he has ever had on hand for sale.
While paying crops OF CON, oats, cotton,
ETC., can and are being raised on this land, 1t
Is pre-eminently suited for truck farming and
fruit raising. There is not a vegetable and
but few fruits known to the northern gardener
which cannot be grown in greater periectlcn
and more abundantly here than in the west or
north. You also have the chance OF high
prices, because your season Is a long time
earlier than anywhere else. The fact Is that
the real truth ABOUT tne CapiDlEt rs VI Tue
wonderful soil when handled by a live. ener-
getic, intelligent man, is almost beyond COM
prehension unless you have personally exam
ined the land and found out for yourself what
is really being done. Bring your little capita
to this country, and with 1t push, brains anc
a willingness to fit yourself to the country
and its circumstances. You will soon have
your home, and have II. sooner, easier anc
with more comfort in it, present and prospec'
tive, than you can find anywhere e,se.
To those who would better their condition
in life, who want to get a cash price, and 6
good price, for all that hey raise, there Il
no doubt but that the advantage OF soil
climate, quick freight service and the whole
United States as a market, all combined t.
make Orchard Homes the best locality FOL
the mar of moderate means to locate In ant
there thrive and prosper.

Selling out the New York Store Shoes
MIGHT MAKE THE FIGHT LIVELY,
burlington and Rock Island lave n
String to Pull.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE action which. it
is alleged, is proposed by the Southern Pacific
in lessening its train service from Ogden to
San Francisco with a view Of forcing as much
traffic as possible over the Sunset route will,
If persisted in, result in the liveliest kind
Of a fight for the California business. The
Rock Island and the Burlington, both of
whom would be shut out by this acton, say
that they have no intention of going out Of
the through business to California, no mat
ter what the Southern Pacific may attempt.
If they are shut out Of their connections at
Ogden they will in all probability not only
reduce rates, but make an alliance with the
Atchison and deliver business to it at Kan
sas City. The Atchison road would be a
distinct gamer by any trouble that would
cause the Rock Island and Burlington to
deliver passengers to it, and it would be
more than glad to see some such arrange
ment go into effect. The railroad officials
quote Vice President Stubs as their author
ity for the assertion that the Southern Pacific
is contemplating the reduction in train serv-
ice, and the strong denial Of President Hunt
ington leaves them in a fog as to what the
intentions Of the Southern Pacific really are.

TOOK THEIR FRIENDS BY SURPRISE
Miss and Mr.. McCOrd Quietly
Married In Omaha.

AIIss dbHu lhhs
Married In Omaha.
The social sensation Of yesterday was the an
nouncement of the marriage of Miss Emma
Crandell of this city and Mr.. George S. Nc
Cord of Pueblo. Colo. The ceremony was
performed at high noon by Rev. 7. J. Mackay
at his residence, in the presence Of Mr.. Giles
F. Filley of st. Louis and Mrs. John Nc
Connick, a sister Of the bride, acting as the
witnesses.
The unheralded marriage of Miss Crandell
and Mr.. McCord seems to have been a sur
prise not only to their friends, but also to
themselves. They have known one another
for something like a year and a half, but
only their most intimate friends were aware
that they were engaged to one another.
The two young people saw a great deal OF
one another's company during the past sum-
mer, when Miss Crandell spent some weeks
in the mountains Of Colorado. Last week
Mr.. McCord formed one of a party, including
Miss Anderson and Mr.. Spratlin, who came
| DOWN to Omaha 20 take in the fair festivities
as the guests of Miss Jessie Dickinson.
This visit seems to have given the young
| people the long desired opportunity, which
they seized so suddenly and so quietly that
even the hostess was unaware OF what was
taking place until the news was broken by
handing her the marriage certificate.
Miss Emma Crandell was one Of Omaha's
most attractive and promising buds. She
was counted on to form one of the bevy Of
debutantes who are to make the coming
social season memorable for it's gaieties. She
is the daughter Of Mr.. George 7. Crandell,
and has a host Of friends who were prepar-
ing to welcome her into the society circle.
The groom is a brother Of Mr.. w. II. Nc
Cord Of Omaha, and formerly lived in st.
Joseph, Mo. He is at present in business in
Pueblo, where the couple will later make
their home. They left last night to visit
Mr.. McCord's parents in st. Joseph.

Five Persons Injured, One of Them II
il TIL fought Fatally.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Sept. 17.-Lightning
struck the Hoisington church, a few miles
east of this city, while special services were
being conducted, last evening, and but for
a premonition of danger on the part of the
pastor would have doubtless killed many of
the congregation. As it was the bolt only
injured a few, as follows:
Mrs. Johnson, badly burned, will recover.
Mrs. Henry Stanley. severely burned, re-
covery doubtful.
Two children, unknown. badly shocked.
Mrs. Darwin Whitney, badly burned.
The pastor saw a heavy storm coming and
cut his sermon short, bidding his hearers to
depart for their homes as quickly as possible.
Almost the first bolt of lightning struck the
steeple and descended through shingles, tim
bers and ceiling to the floor beneath. Men,
women and children were thrown from their
feet, some unconscious and the rest mo-
mentarily stunned by the shock.

New Hot weather Record.

The weather took its inning yesterday
In the carnival week festivities by making
a new September record. In addition to a
red hot sun which glared down upon the
city an equally hot wind swept through the
streets and over the prairies and withered
everything that was to be withered. At
noon the thermometer had climbed up to
0S1s, but during the afternoon the weather
got an additional hump on itself, and be-
tween 2 and 4 o'clock the thermometer regis
tered 102 degrees. This is the record of
the year. and. furthermore, breaks all the
records of September weather for the last
twenty-four years.

Crent Sale Of New YorI. store.

Grent SnIc OF New YORK store.
This Immense establishment started three
months ago, when goods were cheapest ever
known. In the face of a tremendous advance
we purchased that splendid new stock at
about u It's actual cost. Do you wonder why
we are selling so cheap? Can any bankrupt
stock, no matter how old the goods may be,
compete with such an extraordinary pur-
chase? The goods were absolutely forced on
us when all our fall goods were purchased
and we are obliged to unload. Do you i'm
agtne any bankrupt sale would dare name a
price we cannot cut In two? Just watch the

OMAHA, Sept. 16.-To the Editor of The
Bee: l have just received a copy Of a news
paper that | have waited for for a quarter Of
a century. The Nebraska Waterman makes
| its bow and Is launched on the sea Of Omaha
| journalism. Many attempts have been made
by the colored race to establish a journal
creditable to a cause and demands as just as
theirs, but until now they have not been equal
to the emergency. And so | hail the Watch
man with delight. The light Is breaking.
Many years ago my native countrymen
| couldn't understand why l espoused the cause
Of the niger How could DO less! l
| sought for liberty and freedom for myself.
| Could l deny to others the right / claimed
| for myself? hope l will never be found
so inconsistent. But what say you Oberalls,
Stephensons and Bells. What say you about
tie conduct. of Ricketts,?
Like Juliet, blistered be my tongue for
mentioning Ricketts, name. He a colored
leader OF his people. Pahl He. the
catspaw of the Al p. A. in the last legisla-
ture, the tool Of prescription against those
who poured out their blood like water that
he and his might be free. Does the colored
man, as represented by Ricketts,. endorse
race and creed hatred? Can the colored man
| lend himself to the schemes that would make
| him as great an enemy to human freedom
as the devil himselt?
/ have had some sympathy with the colored
| people in the pasts Their cause has been
mine for twenty-eisht years. When they are
free | am free. But II they endorse Ricketts,
and the ''dervishesj' l must conclude that
the colored people have not yet learned what
| true freedom means. l will be plain. sir.
II the colored council" is what It is repre-
scented to be, Ricketts, and 1t should again be
picking cotton in the lowlands low" But
the Waterman promises better things. / want
to hear from Oberall, Smith. Franklin and
| others. Their silence is now criminal to their
race. The Waterman says in its Notes: at
Ia said that the Roman Catholic order OF the
Most Blessed Trinity has redeemed 200, 00O
slaves since It began Its work In Africa"
That is all right; keep on organizing "coun-
| ellis Of the order" that says all white males
