There was a large meeting of railroad from every branch of the service at yd's opera house Sunday evening to isten tothe W. C. T, U, railroad evangelst, Mrs, Jennie Smith of Baltumore, Md. Every seat was filled by earnest, intelligent, inter- ested railroad workers. Miss Swith recounted her victory through thoe crucible of suffering which lasted for over ton years and which led her to devote her life to the spiritual uplifting of railroad men and policemen, as they had been her constant benefactors. For thethorough accomplishment of this WOrk, sSho proposes to organize a national fialnclnuon of railroad men and their fami- o8, Mrs, Spurloch of Plattsmouth, was intro- duced and read the proposed constitution, The Rev. Mr. Savage then asked for the ap proval of the railroad men present, o be sig- nifled by raising the hand. It was almost universal, > Theleaders feel that iv will have an organ- 1zotion perfocted and under way in Omaha and feel much encourage The Omaha Theosophists. The annual mecting of the Omaha btanch (vedante) of the theosophical socicty was beld at its rooms, No. 205 Sheeley block, For the ensuing year the following ofticers were elected: Dr. J. M, Borglum, presiden Mr. W, 8, Wing, vice president; Mr, ToR, Prater. corresponding secretary; Mrs, J, Burness, recording secretary; Mr, C, H, Bendefeldt, treasuvor; Mr, O, Schivmer, librarian, The retiring president before relinquish- ing the chair reaa an address, emphasizing the healthy and harmonious growth of the society during the past year, The retiring treasurer in his annual report showed that ihe branch had a sound fina neial standing, A pleasing feature of the beadquarter its well stocked library. consisting chiefly of works on occult science. In order to give the general inquirer an opportunity to muke himself familiar with the scope of such mat- ter the room is open from 7 o'clock p. m., to 9 o'clock p. m. on Wednesdays, and from 4 o'clock p. w, to 9 o'clock p, w. on Suturdays. For the venefiv of earnest iuquirers open meetings are held every Sunday ut 4 o'clock P. m., on which essays bearing on the objects of théosophism are read and discussed. ‘The avowed objects of the theosophism are s fnllowl: To form the nucleusof an universal hrolharhmx. of humanity without distine- tion of rate, creed, sex, or color, 2. To promote the 'study of Aryau and other eastern literature, religions and sciences, 8. To Investigate unexplained laws of nature and the physical powers latent n man.

Do try Salva: Won QI tue liniment, NOT TO CALIFORNIA. The Great Car Famine on Nebraska Ronds. J.8. Cameron, chief construction manager of the Unfon Pacific, says that there is abso- lutely no trath in the reports that his com- pany proposes to extend its Utah Central line into San Francisco. “I would not condescend to deny the stories, but they ave giving us some aunoy- ance and ought to be stopped. The Califor- nia newspapers have been saying so much about the Union Pacific's movements that our connections out there, the Southern Pacific especially, beging to think we are lying to them, We have never had any ii- tention of building the Utah Central only to Los Angeles.” “Is that a good terminus for you?" *'Yes, I think so. There is population enough in southern California to make a state, which, coupled with Utah and the in- tervening territory mow without railroad accommodatio us all the business we can take ca “There is just this about the situation: That great stretch of country is becoming ton important to be overlooked very much longer, The fact was becoming more evi- dent every day that some one would go in there and build a road through it. We thought that the Union Pacific could better afford to take the lead than to let some outfit which would build merely to sell vut, get it. It has been a diMcult matter for us to make the Southern Pacific people understand our position,” ince it has become known that Chief neer Boque proposes to locate his fam- n Francisco and live there, every nterested naturally concluded that company intended to eventually con- struct its line to that city. This move, however, on the partof Mr. Bogue declares Mr. Cameron, has no such it. The latter has just returned from Salt Lake and pre« dicts that the next twelve months will wit- ness in Utah a repetition of the excitement in railroad building had ia Colorado ten years ago. The Union Pacific is suffering in a basi- ness way for want of freight cars. The farmers in Nebraska and Kansas are haul- ing their corn to market in such great quan- tities that it 1s impossible for the railroads to accommodate shippers with all the cars they want. As a consequence the grain is being dumped 1h large piles by the track at nearly every station. Geveral Manager Dickenson says he could easily use 4,000 more cars, but every western roud i8 in about the same 'fix. It is, fore, utterly impossiblo to get them, Car Accountant Buckingham is tearing his hair and rushing wildly from one side-track to another all over tho systom, pressing everything on wheels into service and doing his very best to relieve the famishing cry. Some of the Nebraska railroad managers aro beginuing to think that they ought to lo- cate their weneral freight agents in Chicago and let them do_nothing_but attend associa- tion meetings, Miller, Wood and Morehouse of tho B, & M., Union Pacific and Elkhorn Valley, have gone there again to wrangle over live stdck rates for Kansas, John Angler, Live stock agent for the B. & M., is the proud parent of & son, whom Lo has named after Harry Douel. there- General Froight Agent Munroe has re- turned from a long siege over freight matters at Chicago.

A bold attempt has just failed to work the Mutual Investment company, as also F, D, Muir, of Muir & Gaylord of this city, each of $1,000 by an attempted fraudulent loan on property near Brownville, in_this state, It secms that W, J. Russell of this city, vice president of the Mutual, received an ap- plication for a loan on a sixty-acre farm of Mrs, J. Q. A. Smith for §1,000, signed by herself and as appraisers appeared tho names of J. Littrell, J‘.a Titus, J. P, Crother and Theodore Hill of Nemaha City. It pur- ported to have been sworn to before B. B, Hoadley and had the impression of his seal as notary public. Mr. Russell called upon Mrs. Smith and asked to see the land on which she wanted the loan. She was much surprised and said sho had made no applica- tion for a loan. He then hunted up the ap- praisers, who said they never had seen the paper before. Then Mr. Hoadley was called upon and pronounced the application a for- gery. Some person, he said, had used his seal and made a clever imitation of his sig- natare, Mr., Frank Muir also had a similar ex- perience, hud the boldness of the undertak- Ing is made all the more to appear because the offices of the Mutual compauy and Mr. Muir adjoin each otker. The application for the blanks was made some time ago. The latter were furnished duly filled out and returned to Mr. Muir, ‘Tne land was appraised at $4,800, which Mr, Muir considered excessive, as 3,000 would have sufliced to have secured a loan of the amount sought. ‘The papers also were made out in an un- satisfactory manner, and were returned with the notification that theapplication was denied. 3 About this time Mr. Muir received a let- ter from a_party in that section notifying him that if he intended to send anybody to examine the land to defer the date until the writer should return, because the applica- tion was undoubtedly a fraud, It is nlleged tbat the forger is spotted ana willsoon be placed under rrrest, — An Absolute Cure.

In the first place, the amount of money in- vested by the syndicate was trivial, and only amounted to enough to send the aggregation across the water and start it going.
