ANXIOUS TO WIN MONTANA, Omaha Business Men Favor the Establish- ment of Oloser Trade Relations. ANOTHER RAILROAD A PRIME ESSENTIAL. Views of Shippers on the Situation— South Omaha Packers Declare They Must Have More Cat- e or Move. The editorials in Tur Bre and also fn yestorday's issu tablish of closer trade relations be- tween this city and Montana, and advocat ing the construction of more direct railroad communication betwoon these points, have excitol a great deal of comment among busi noss men and pubtic spirited citizen: It is stated upon good authority that the Burlington road, which now has a lino ox- tended in the direction of this great mining 1d stock country as far as the Bello Fourcho river in Wyoming, before the olose of this year will be fuished and in overation to a boint less than nioety miles southeast of Sneridan, the county seat of Sheridan county, Wyoming. It will then have only about two hundred miles of new line to cori- struct in a northwesterly dircetion through a rich and well watered country, to reach tho Northern Pacific rond, whicn runs into Helona, With this connection made,Omahn dealers and manufacturcrs, and Nebraska producers will at once be brought, into direct commercial communication with Helona and all the more important citics and mining centers of Montana. A well known grain man who was ayerse to allowing his name to be used, stated yes Ay that the possibilities of 'this schieme of trade relations were simply immense. 1t is not generally known,'” said he, “‘that Montana is in & faif way to bo oneof the greatest wheat producing states in the unfon. Iler soil is very rich, asis plainly shown by soveral experiments which have been made with wheat, and she has plenty of water. They can easily raise wheat up there which will run from forty to sixty busheis per acre. They cannot raise corn as the climate is not suited to it, but the repu tation of Nebraska ns tho groatest corn rowing state n tho union is aiready estab- ished, and the people of Montana want some of our corn “Another thing," he continued. “It has ractically demonstrated that itis a better usiness investment to bring cattle into Nebraska off tho ranges and feed them o corn before shipping, thau to ship the samo corn east. 1t also uses up our surplus corn In order to do this satisfuctorily, however, we must haye more direct railroad’ communi- cation and it is highly important that tho business men of this section stould meet those of Montana and establish closor relations in order that both points may put forthal theic efforts to- attain tho- dosired end.” Secretary Nash_of the Omaha & Grant smolting and refining company, stated_ye: terday that he had just returned’ from Mon- tana and was firmiy convinced that Omaha should allow no chanco to escape whereby #ho might get afirm hold on the country adjacent to Helena. Recent developments prove conclusively that there are arge deposits of copper in tho Big ¥orn country in northern Wyoming and southern Montana, and thore are strong pos- sibilities of gold and silver. “Wo get largo quantities of ore from Helena and that vicinity,” said Mr. Nash, ‘but we labor under a great disadvantago in baving to pay the same freight as the Chi- cago people do, and then we have to ship our product to Chicego. A direct line from the mining _country into Omaha . would affect this rate directly, and put us on better footing. That is great country up there and Omalia ought to have ail the trade from that section.” Euclid Martin, president of the board of trade, stated that Montana and Wyomingz were naturally trivutary to Omaba, but under existing conditions the greater part of the trade of the country goes to St. Paul by roasou of the more direct railroad connections. He thought something should be done to bring this trade to Omaha and was in favor of immediate action on the part of the board of trade and other organized bodies looking towards that end. It cwould be a very gocd plan, Mr. Martin suggested, for a number of busin=ss men to go together to Helena and tho surrunding country and cultivate the business acquaintance of the people. The numerous excursions of this nature taken by tho board of trade, hosaid, had been produc- tive of much good, Nearly every man in the party bud picked up a customer here and there and these had brought more and thus fncreased the trade of the city. Moreover, these trips had a tendenocy to broaden tho {doas of the business men or Omaha and re- sulted, indirectly, in good to the city. - Mayor Cushing agreed most_emphatically with the ideas suggested by Tug Ber and #aid Omaba should, by all means, use overy effort to obtain' and hold the ‘trade of that important section. It was a matter for immediate action on the part of tho commercial orgauizations of the city and thoy should take the matter in hand at ouc: Ha was beurtily in sccord, ho said, with any measure tending to increase the commercial standing of Omaha, General Manager Holdregeof the B. and M, was asked his views on tho subject under cousideration and unhesitatingly declared that the importance of the county sought to bemade tributary to Omaha was not to bo questioned, but the only way to encourage the building of railroads ronneeting Omaha with the territory around Holena was to give the railrosd world some nssurance, by both words and acts, that rail- road property was worth something in this part of the country. ‘The continual agitatio of the cry for lower rates, when everybody know rates wore already too low, only re- sulted indepreciating tho value of railroad cck, and no one in this country or in Europe could be induced to iuvest dollar in railroads, Until something was done to ro- storo the confidence of capitalists in railroad socurities wost of tho Mississippi, he said i would bo idle to talk of building any moro xroads in this territory. “I have given the subject vory littlo atten- tion,” said Manager Kdward A. Cudahy of the ‘Cudaby packivg compuny, as his atten- tion was called to tho editorial in Tue Bre fu regard to trade and shipping facilitios to and from Montana. *There 1s lenty of trade with thet section. Montaun as olenty of cattle, and good cattlo, too. and we noed the cattlo. ' At preseut what cattle we get. from that state come via St. Paul. 1 think that we do not get many cattle from that section, as 1 suppose the railrond lines leading from the Montaua pasturages, have direct lines to Chicago of course would give preforence tosbipuients to Chicago. Wo couid use all the cattlo that avould be shipped from that state to this markor. 1f the grazing sections of tho state were tapped by railroad lines with di good connections o, with good fair ratos, there is no reason why we should ot got the bulk of the stock shipments. I do not know how much it wonld benefit Omahs by direct routes as Moutana now Procures most of its products from Missouri river poiuts. But we do need and badly need the good cattle that Montana markets aud auything that will give us their cattle will greatly benefit this section. - Dr. Birney cures cata, - LICENSES, The Old Question Raisad of Legality of the Ordinance, The coal men proposs to test the legality of the ordiuance requiring thqn to pay sn an- nual liconse for the priviloge of doing busi- ness.

Two smalier though otherwise similar ban- ners were borno by the boys as they marched from the depot to the armory, and the re- coption accorded them could not but convince them that Omaha was bottor satistied with the result of their work than if they had captured the big arill prize that they tried so b o win, The guards camo in yesterday morning at 10:05 over the Burlington and were met at the depot by the veteran firemen and an escort from the paid fire department. There were six of the fire laddies under Captain Grave: rosplendent in bright uniforms, shining but- tons and white glove: The voterans numbered a score and wore headed by their president, tlarry Taggert. They were attired in their natty brown uni- forns and had turned out to stow their good feelings towards tho guards and reciprocate for similar conduct on the part of the sol diery when the vets returned from Platts- mouth once on a time, Befors the train had reached a standstill the guards began piling out upon the plat- form and the long roll of the drummers was even longer drawn out than usual, for the boys could not think of “falling in’" until tho “‘Hollo, Johnnies and “Ab, there, Charlies,” had been passed arqund Tho line was soon formed, however, and the guards marched down the platform, being saluted by the vots as they passed. “Parade, rest,”” was the order given at the foot of the incline, and the boys chatted awhile with their friends and answered scores of questions until the luggage was unloaded, In the meantime the vets and firomen passed up to the viaduct, and there awaited tho guards, who took u position at tho rear and the march continued to the armory. There was 10 band, because that matter had been overlooked until the last moment and then one could not be secured for love nor mone; At the armory the guards were met by sef al prominent citizens who congratulated next encampmont as well as on their gentlemanly behavior which had made so many friends and won so many good words for Om; The guards had 1o fault whatever to find with their treatment while away. and had only praiso for their entertaiuers at In- dianapolis, They wero confident that they put up a much better drill than they did 4 year ago at Kansas City, and attributéd theif defeat to the illness of several of them, being handi- capped not only by the absence of some of their men, but by tho sickness of some who took part in_the drill at a time when they should have beon in bed, However, they do not compiain but trust for better luck next time. They will begin drilling at once for the encampment of next year, and hope to make a better showing on their own grounds. [u was estimatod that the encamvmont brought 35,000 visitors and $260,000 to Indian- apolis. Of the thirty-five men who were with the company when it weut away, twenty-seven roturned with it. Messrs. W. B. Ten Eycis, George Allen, Day, C. C. Cherryholmes and M. C. Cob went east to visit rolatives, and tho others roturned in advanco of the company. Sl De.

Mitwavkee, Wis., July 8.—Lana Ce sioner Hunner, talking about the stealin timber from tho state lands, says that ac steps will bo taken to saye to LLe state the timber stolen from state lands and prosecute the thieves. *Papers have been forwarded,” Mr. Hunner said, *to a sheriff in the north- orn part of the siate, directing him to seizo a Lot of nearly ono million feot of logs which were cut on state land and then hauled with thoso belonging o other partics. It would have been wuch betier for the state if the timber iad been left standing, butas it was not there is nothing left to be done but get all that can be realized from 1t and prosecute the thieves. This will be done as soon as the evidenco is accumulated. Other suits will follow. Special agents of the state have dis- covercd that in numerous instauces state lands have been stripped. Forty-acre tracts that ought to be worth 4,000 are not worth 40 cents. Just how much has been lost to the state from this source will never be known, as the lands are mostly university lands."!

Wealthy Mrs. Petruella Durham, whose attempts to turn over large amounts of money to the Salvation Army in this city ogainst the wishes of her relatiyes, caused much comment some time ago, has filed a. bill against her brother-in-law, W.

THE 10WA RATE CASE, The Burlington, Cedar Rapias & Northorn will appeal to the United States courts from the decision renderca several days ago by the Towa supreme court which sustains the legality of the owa joint rates. It will bo remembered that the lowa legislature and railroad commissioners established u distance freight tariff and later joint rates on_two or more roads by making tho through rates equal to 80 per cent of the locals. The Bur- Lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern secured au injunction, holding that the stato author- ities having once established ‘‘reasonable’ rates, had no right to scale tho tariffs 20 per cent fower. The lowa supreme court has uow dissolved this injunction. Pending appeal to the United States courts the Jowa roads have not decided whether or not they will putinto offect the objectionable joint rates. KILLED 1Y THE COOK. Charles Eastry, o colored cook at the Washington pari Stables, last, evening_ shot and killed William Durrell, au_employe of the stables. The men quarrcled at supper and Durrell finally struck the cook in the face. Mad with rage, Eastry run ioto the kitchen, seized a rovolver, and without a word pointed it at Durrell'and fired. Tho bullet struck Durrell in_the right shoulder, “For God's sake, don’t shoot,” exclaimed the wounded man. ' *Don’t shoot, Charley ; I didn’t mean nothing.” DIl teach you to hit de nex’ man,” re- plied the infuriated cook as he pulled the trigger again and sent a bullet into his vie- tim's stomach. Durrell sereamed with pain and fear, and as ho turned to run the blood flowed from his mouth and nose. He staggered s he turned, and even as ho was falling Eastry shot agam and the third bullet struck the stable boy behind tho right shoulder blade. He plunged forward on his face and did not speais again. Eastry was locked up. EKEIR MAY RESIGY. There is a strong probability that States Treasurer 5. H. Nobeker will resign.

Nebeker, died at Covington. Ho left an immense estato, in which his_son-in-law, Nebeker, is largely interestea.
