Wr NEW ENTERPRISE. 17 '
w The high prices at which lieef has
tieen ruling in New York, have neces
sitated the shipment of carcasses from
Chicago’ already dressed for use. Just
now there is a daily arrival ef hundreds
of such carcasses, and a great deal of
excitement is prevailing in and around
Washington market, especially among
the dealers. The dealers are endeavor
ing to leave the impression that such
carcasses are not wholesome. So far
from this being the case, any sensible
man would know that dressed carcasses
coming a thousand miles in a proper
atmosphere would really be better than
the cattle shipped the same distance and
slaughtered after arrival at New York.
The result of this new enterprise will

POST OFFICES.
Under the direction of the Postmas

The last revision was in 1880, since that
time Georgia has gained 234 offices, and
now has 1.236. During the present year
V 5 new offices, in the >Statehave been es
tablished. There are three offices in the
state of the lirst-class, that is, that have
three thousand or more dollars as a sal

dollars, there are four. The third class
embraces those in which the salary is

W“HUBBEL\S IDIOC Y. ”
W A
Hubbell shows the bent of his
in the very first chapter of his campaign
text book. He quotas in this chapter
from Wade Hampton's speeeh, expres
sive of his admiration of Lee and Jack
son. Hubbell also follows Hampton's
remarks with some misemble comments;
We are pleased to see that not all North
ern people agree with idiot Hubbell. For
instance the New York Herald says in
referring to this subject:
flampton was himself, it will be re
membered, one of the soldiers of the
Confederacy, and the American people
are by this time satisfied, if there ever
was any doubt on the point, that the
soldiers of the Confederacy were not by
any means the worst part of the South
ern people. Now% a soldier of the Con
federacy who did not admire Lee and
Jackson would be altogether a rather
pitiful spectacle: but a soldier of that
sort who did admire those commanders
and was afraid to declare it, who whis
pered it privately in the corners lest
Hubbell should hear it and print it at
flie expense of the assessed office-holders,
is a creature which w'e hope for the sake
of American manhood does not exist %
the Southern States or elsewker™
Unless we have greatly mistaken the
drift of opinion in the ten years past
the Southern people have not a Monopo
ly in the admiration of the commanders 4
named. Throughout the country,
throughout the w orld, they are regarded
as magnificent evidences of the fighting
qualities of the race, and while there is
many a nation that might fairly envy
others the possession of such heroes the
North will hold that such men, though
we regret their errors of of opinion, are
not merely Southern men, but Ameri
cans. It is, therefore not a measure of
of these men. but only of Hubbell and
his party that is presented in his cam
paign theory that one ought to be
ashamed to mention them; that it is an
atrocity for an old soldier of the Confed
eracy to believe in his heroes. Let it
be remembered that the present ]>osi
tion of the republican partv as it is rep
resented by Hubbell is that men of hon
or and character must not dare to de
clare their true opinions; must shut up
altogether or snivel through the nose
that they are sorry for the past and have
bared their backs to be patiently whip
ped into Hubbell s traces. Have the
people any need for a party that makes
such requirements?
The entire success of the latest exper
intent in shipping fresh meats on long
voyages indicates that practically there
is no limit to this method of transporting
goods that have heretofore been consid
ered perishable. A vessel lately arriv
ed at Liverpool with a cargo of fresh
meats from New Zealand. She was a
1 coded with four thousand carcases of"
sheep, weighing from ninety to 170
pounds each, besides a large quantity of
hsh and poultry. The passage occu
pied 102 days ;uid the cargo is" reported
to have been in excellent condition on
arriving. A part of the voyage off the
African coast was during the very hot
test weather, the temperature ranging
from 84 degrees in the sun. An even
temperature of 18 degrees below the
freezing point was maintained in the
hold, where'the carcasses were suspend
ed. This was accomplished by means
of a refrigerating apparatus, whitffi was
rim by a seventy-horse power engine,
consuming one hundred and eighty tons
of coal during the voyage.
Mr. E. A. Buck has a committee and
a campaign fund to aid him in the can
vass against Hon. N. J. Hammond.
His committee have regularly employed
colored emissaries to work at night and
at all times in Mr. Buck’s behalf. Why
does not Mr. Buck come before the peo
ple and make his canvass open and
above board. If lie desired the support
of the good men of the district he would
most certainly do this. But he works
in a wild and mysterious with a
hope of thus getting a majority of the
votes cast on the 7th of November.

edand hearty from exposure to all
weather, and squads of people oompris
ing toe rear guard of summer tourists to
Europe, being brought by the Transat
lantie steamers. There is no mistake in
it, the season is in full blast L again. and
and what would it bo without tbe stony
faced men with ferocious looking long
mustachios, posing in modem stained
glass attitudes at the w'indows of their
clubs. There is every indication that
during the winter the attractions of
clubs will be stronger than ever. Near
ly all the older establishments have
more applications for membership than
they can possibly entertain, and in con
sequence a number of new ones will be
added to the already extensive list of
established ones. There are two things
which are the main cause of this
“boom,’’to use a word which is pass
ing out of date —the love of good eat
ing and the passion for play. For,
strange as it may seem, a club be it so
cial or professional, is the last place in
the world at which to find clubbable
men outside of the male hens who make
gossip, and in this respect can beat any
able tongued coterie of ancient| spin
sters. A well regulated club however,
affords facilities for gastronomic stud
ies equal in every respect to those of
Delmonico, the Brunswick, Doig>van’s,
Morello’s and other noted resorts, and
at a much cheaper price. It is not
within the means of every man to em
ploy a Chef of his own, at a salary equal
to that received by a Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, and din
ing in a public resort is apt to become
a bore after a while. The club ena
bles a man to enjoy a comfort equal al
most to that of home, while at the
same time lie is enjoying all the delica
cies obtainable only at a place where
food is cooked in large quantities. In
the matter of drinking and smoking
the club likewise offers facilities and
conveniences which are to be obtained
solely when men “club together.”
But even more than the epicurean de
light are attractions of the card table
responsible for tiie inefthse of clubs.
VVliat with the strict enforcement of
the law against gambling, both resi
dents and visitors to tpwn find .it im
possible to risk tkeir money at cards in

This is a fact which cannot be denied,

Theo, j|’ho has been playing out of

see how Gvau could extract more kktn

packed from lobby to gallery. There
is no denying it, Theo is not a success,
and her failure is worse because of mis
management. It was foolish to let her
season when the weathewwas still hot,

Then Grau made a werse mistake than
Patti's manager made last year, in
raising the price of seats before she had

This beautiful prairie town is located
291 miles west of Omaha and is the ter
minus of the first;division of the Union
and Pacific Railroad.ltrlies about midway
between the north and south fork of toe
Platte river, is toe oounfcy seat of Lin
coln county aud is noted &s the home of
thß renowned hunter, scout. author and
actor, W. F. Cody, better known as
“Buffalo Bill. ” North Platte in many
respects is not unlike the typical oil re
gion town. The low wooden buildings
in the business portion will, however,
iu time be replaced by more substantial
structures. The Cody homestead is
pleasantly situated one mile west of the
village on a gently rising slope of prai
rie and is the most conspicuous dwell
ing in the place. The house—a large
aad roomy two and a half story frame—
was built under the personal direction
of Mrs. Cody aud is a model of conveni
ence in every respect. There are three
large and commodius intersecting par
lors, the windows of which are draped
by heavy lace curtains and toe floors
covered with luxurious carpets. One
of the curiosities is au unique easy
chair ingeniously constructed out of
buffalo horns and covered With the skin

YELLOW HAND'S BUFFALO BOBE.

Hand, it will be remembered, was kill

immediately after the fated Custer mas
sacre and his scrip, which has a place
in Mr. Cody's collection of Indian relics,
was first taken after the gallant “Long
haired Chief” had fallen a victim to In

The walla and ceilings are elegantly pa

Eastern artist . A most Acellent cray

prime, hangs over a marble mantle. Mrs.

visitor from a heavy gilt frame. In the
parlors are a fine Chickering piano and
an organ, on both of which instruments
Mrs. Cody and Miss Arta are most ex

and pistol-rack, literally loaded down
with rare and valuable arms, mostly the
gifts of admiring friends.
The Cody homestead, which has been
nick-named “Welcome Wigwftm,” is
surrounded by and twenty
acres of land and lies|fc>out three rods
south of the Union Pacific Railroad
track. A white picket-fence surrounds
the homestead, giving it an Eastern
look. At the head of the croquet ground
stands a slender flag-pole. When the

flies from the peak; when out of town
the flag is hauled spacious

then eyes to the raising of fast horses.
Mr. Cody has probably tried the endu
rance of the horse as much as any man
living, and, having recently disposed of
his cattle ranche on the Dismal river,
sixty-five miles north of North Platte’
for the nelMPffi of $125,000, has deter
mined to invest his surplus capital in
the development of the useful animal,
and has associated with him in toe en
terprise his old friend and partner, Ma
jor Frank North, a well-known Indian
fighter and soldier. It is the intention
to raise thoroughbred horses on a large
scale. He has onehundred and eighteen
brood mares that will compare favora
bly in build and style with the best Eas
tern stock and also a large number of
promising youngsters. He also has a
large herd of shortdmm cows and heif
ers, with a high peeffgreed bull at their
head.
AX EXTENSIVE LAND-OWNER.
Aside from all this Mr. Cody owns
several thousand acres of land in the
vicinity and is also one of the heaviest
real estate owners in North Platte. He
owns and rents seven neat dwelling
houses and will build several more. He
is the father of the-town, so to speak,
and .is at the head of every important
business enterprise and is the most pop
ular man to-day in the glorious State of
Nebraska. of the business men

though he is credited by General Phil
