His faco was very pale, und there was a no ticeable twitching of the nerves about the mouth, whilo ke trembled percoptibly. He was evidently much perturbed.

A Patriot for Dollars When the inspired writer penned the sen- tence “Love of money is the rootof ail cvil” he, in the vornacular of the western miuer, “struck pay dirt.” Love of money and _politics are res for many strange hapvenings. Here is a case in pofit: About three weeks ago the public was 1 tificd by the press of tho city that the Polanders ot Omaha had formed a political club with a view of taking an active part in the coming elections. Dr, Slominskl, late of Poland, Bohemia and Russin, later of Chicago, who has an offico on South Thirtcenth strect, between Howard and Jackson, 18 president of tnis society, in fact, the doctor is responsible for it's origin. A desire to nscertain what position the club will occupy in the coming election is what prompted a reporter o visit the doc- tor's oftice about a woek ago. The “‘president” sat in his ofiice ablaze with dismonds and radiant with enthusiasm This latter feeling was doubtiess by the fact that the doctor is a and believed he had a caso in view. “Doctor,” began the reporter, “T under- stand that the Polish eitizens of Omaba ve orgamzed a political club and that you been chosen s presidont?” “Ihat 1s trae,” replicd Slominski. “Well, doctor, 1 am here in_the interast of aman who wants an office, aud in order to get it must havea little support, What. is the political complexion of the organization, and how many members are there on the roll?’ *“The Poles as a rulo aro democrats—by the way, what is your mant Oh, a democrat!

In what district does your man hvef” “The second,” was the rejoinder. “That's good,” said the doctor, “my men nearly all Live in the Seventh ward, alihough tuere are a number in the Eighth.

Of course,” he added, “Iwill have to” buy the men some beer and pay two or three ward workers.”’ “But how will you satisfy us that you are keeping your proimiser’’ was asked “Why, I will call @ special meeting of the club right away. Will take you aud your man right down: make a spech to the inen, and tell them that your friend will giv them $100 to build a church if they will all vote for hiw in the primary, and they will do just what I say.

John M. Thurston came with the party from Chicago, They were met by J. 8, assistant to Prosident Adams. President Holcomb met their train at the transfer dopot and escorted them to this side of the river. arriages were in waiting at the depot which tho party was ushered and in 1 it was driven’ to the Paxton hotel, where rooms on the parlor floor had pre~ viously been reserved for then Senator Davis, who has a_general knowl- cdge of tho relations between the Unmited States and the Pacific railways, when ques- tioned concerning the matter, said: “The committee, of which I am a mem- ber, is carrying out the instructions from the Uniled States senate as a body. Since \he Outhwaite bill was iatroduced, there has been considerable attention paid to the affaivs the Pacific railways. This_committee was appointed for the purposo of making au iu- vestigation of the condition of the suv- sidized lines, with a view to establishing u basis upon which to formulat funding bill, and among s specifications will be the abolition of the govern- ment board of supervisors, 1t is further intended to provide a anedinm of refunding the obligations of the Pacific roads to the government, making the gov- ernuent an individual creditor and extend- iner the indebteduess of the roads to such a number of years as may be decided upon. To all intents and purposes it will ve a creature, in churacter, of the Outhwaito Dill.” At 2 o'clock yesterday afterncon, accom- pamed by Messrs, Cameron and Holcomb, tho members of the ¢o > were conveyed to the depot in carr . where an observu- tion car was taken and the afternoon spent in inspecting the bridge, terminal facilities at the transfer and the lay of things generaliy at tis poiut and South Omaha. Before proceeding on journey this, evening or Wednesday —morning the commnttee will probably take the testimony of a few real estate agents with a view to estublishing values on real estate owned by the company Mr, Keade, who, by the way s a newspaper man, bemg connecred with the Lewiston Journal, made Tne Lee office u pleasuut call, He was more than agreeably surprised to find the iargest, as woll as one of the best arranged, most coum- sietely equipped and commodious news- paper ouildings on the American contineut, in Omaha. fter inspocting the shops, terminal facili- tics and other property of the company, the committee repaired to the Paxton for lunclieon. TU was thought that something would be done in tho line of taking testimony at the hotel last night, but nothing of this kind materialized, Sceretary Turpie was seen in the rotunda of the Paxton last night and, concerning the result of the afternoon’s jaunt about the Iceal premises of the company, said: ‘‘We found things in pretty good shape, and nothing was encountered worthy of note, There is no douht but that the pos- sessions of the compauy here are of vast importance. The Union Pacific has filed a proposition relative to the refunding of the debt, but it is a lengthy document and [ have not considered it av length. An instrument of that kind requires considerable study, as there are numerous schemes buried beneath words und sentences that canonly be brought to tho surface through rigid scru- tiny. 1 do not wish to be under- stood as saymg that such is the case s regards the proposition made by the Union Pucific, but, in speaking, I refer to matters like this in a general way, If 1 understand it right, the Uniou Pacific is willing to obli- gate its proprietary lines in conjunction with the system proper as security. We will determine the aggregate valuation, and will report the same to congress, The re- funding measure before congress, relative to the subsidized lLines, was introduced in the form of a relief bill by Senator Stanford, Its aims are similar to those of the Outhwaite bill. Senator Stanford will meet the com- mittee at Ogden. As to what our report will be, 1t is too early in the trip to set forth any conclusions. I can say that what we have already seen bas been quite satisfactory, That relief is required can not, very well be denied, but whether tho circumstances war- rant such relief is a matter to be deter- mined.” “Today the committee will continue further inspection, and will collect such statistics from the records as the mombers deem necessary. They will leave Omaha to- morrow morning for Ogden and Salt Luke City. After inspecting the Utah lines they will leave for Sun Francisco, From thence they will go to Portiand; thence to Pocatello; thenee to Butte City, und from Butte back to Denver. They will return_east via the Kun- sas division of the Union Pacitic, its SUBUKBAN BATES REDUC The Missouri Pacitic Has Decided on a Materjul Reduction. The managementof the Missouri Pacific has come to the reliof of residents of Walnut Hill, Druid Hill, Dundee Place, West Side and West Lawn by a reduction of rates to and from those poiuts on trains on the Bolt line. ‘e present rate will, on or about Oc- tober 15, be reduced 50 per cent and be as follows: Walnut Hill...... Druid Hill.... Dunaee Place, West Side. 1111010 cents West Lawn.. . .I...10 cents “Ihis rate will be direct either way, no re- duction being made in return trip tickets. ‘This reduction has long been under consid- eration, und was made by the management 1upon the earnest requestof the patrons of the suburbap trains. It 15 thought that will be uccompanied by a corresponding ncrease in trafiic, a matter which will figure materially 1 the coutinuation of the above rates. 5 cents b cents 5 cents General Timp O E.
