a cold wave, real and unadutcrated. came
upon the people Of Omaha yesterday morn
ing and continued all day with increasing
intensity. In fact, ;he cold spell began late
Friday night, and at an carly hour this
morning there were few signs o. break in
lhe temperature for the warmer cutting
northwest wind made the weather seem
much colder than 1t really was. and made

The railroads last night reported that the
only word they had received from along their
lines was that the weather was generally
cold, with a severe wind. Very little snow
was reported. and there was little fear of
any material delay or Inconvenience in the
train service
The cold snap has raised the spirits OF
the ice men and they now begin to hope
that they will be able to fll their houses
during the winter. So far the freeze has
not been sufficient to make good ice on the
river but most OF the companies are cutting
on the water works basins whore the ice
runs from six to nine inches thick To
obtain a crop from these basins will require
continued cold weather, as it would require
several cuttings to hll the ice houses. II
the cold continues until the river freezes
over, more men could be worked and the
Ice men could obtain a seasons supply in a
much shorter time. In any case, the fact
that they are now getting at least one cut
ting Of fairly good ice from the basins
is sufficient to encourage them and offer
some expectation of lower prices to the
consumers
About 300 men are now at work on the
Ice They are divided into shifts and are
working night and day.

PETER JENSEN cAtKs ON MKrNLrY.

| Says the prcsidcnt-Elcct VIII En-.
| courage International BimetnIIism.
| Hon. Peter Jensen Of fiJenerson county. who
was a delegate-at-large from this state to
the late republican national convention and
was one Of the committee on platform OF
that body, passed through the city at 1885
o'clock yesterday afternoon over the Rock
Island. He was returning home from a
trip to the east, where he had been all
week. Mr.. Jensen's sole object in the trip
was to visit William Mckinley, whom he
met at his residence in Canton.
To Bee reporter Mr.. Jensen gave some
account of his conversation with the presi-
dent-elect.
"Mr Mckinley is determined to follow
out tho bimetallic portion OF the repub-
lican PLATFORM" he said. Here in Ne
biaska 1t is generally asserted by the free
silver element that that portion of the plat
form in reality meant nothing and the
party would never try TO establish bmet-
allism as 1t recommends. | therefore uues-
toned Mr. Mckinley regarding this plank,
and he stated emphatically that he would
do all in his power to see that IL should
be religiously carried out. When he steps
into office he stated that he intended to
instruct all the ambassadors to foreign coun-
tries to study the financial conditions and
report the sentiment regarding an interna-
tlOndl DllnetallC union. MT. Mckinley be-
lieves that the reason that the international
monetary conferences have amounted to lit
tie is that the financial conditions existing
in the countries of the world were not
understood. He will try to overcome this
ignorance on the part of the United States
There will be an early revision of the
tarin laws. The revised schedules will be
in effect before midsummer arrives. Mr.
Mckinley has assurances from the free sill
yer republican senators, such as Jones of
Nevada, that they world not oppose the
proposed law. MIR. Mckinley intimated
that the new schedule would not be
radical one, but would still be protective
and would be sufficient to create enough
revenue to pay the expenses of the gov
ernment.
Il tried to impress Mr.. Mckinley with the
necessity of appointing the secretary of ag
riculture from the middle west. dwelt
upon this at some length, and especially
urged the presdent-elect not to go as far
as California for his selection. Mr.. McKin-
ley admitted the need of going to the great
corn growing belt for this member of the
cabinet. He then hesitated a moment and
then suddenly asked
What do you think of eX-Congressman
Wilson of Iowa for the cabinet position?
Il answered that Mr.. Wilson would un,
be satisfactory, but l suggested
that there was any amount of timber in
Nebraska. Mr.. Mckinley smiled and said
" 1t is sad that Nebraska went the way
it did
Il judge from this that Nebraska need
not have much anticipation of having one or
its men in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet"

Seebold the correspondent. The suit was
commenced July 20. and Seebold and the
woman disappeared together soon afterward.

cultiCS which had existed between herself
ana husband and September 23 an afIidavit
was prepared in which the husband asked
that the divorce proceedings be dismissed
alleging that the offonse of the wife had
been cOrdoned and she had been forgiven
This affidavit was not filed until Friday night
and with 1t was filed a petition in which
the woman asked for a divorce. She al
legged that she was married to Low in 1890

month old. She also alleges that Low has
not contributed a cent toward her support
since they we're married. With this petition
Is also filed an affidavit setting forth that

SMART ST. LOUIS WOMEN.


How they Make business for Painter,
Plumber and Paperhanger.
The lady capper" may bc the next
arrival from the west via ST. Louis. The
painters and plumbers and puper-hang-
crs of that city have invented scheme
that will suggest to New York men in
those branches the possibility of in
creasing their business when it becomes
slack, says the New Hory World.
The lady capper' goes to real es-
tate agent and tells him she desires to
lease a certain house or apart ment for
which he is agent. 1T needs new paint
ing, new calcomining, some plumbing,
new paper on the dining room, and I'll
only take it when these things are done,
not BEFORE" she says.
The agent, if he isn't up % all the new
tricks of women, obliges her and then
communicates with her at the address
she gives. The lady cupper" in the
meantime reaps commissions from
plumbers and painters before the agent
gets around, and she only smiles in her
tight sleeves while making sad excuses
for disappointing the agent and herself
by not taking his house. There seem
still to be new fields open to ingenious
women
