Depressing Re:ults of the Union Pacific Bridge Decision. OLD TRANSFER DEPOT ALMOST DESERTED. Definite Plans of Several of the Towa Lines to Build Stations Nearer the Business Center of the City. The reqent decision of the courts, enabling the RRock Island and the Milwaukes & St Paul to run their trains through to Omaha, over the Union Pacific bridge, is working, with other causes, guite a transformatiou at the transfer in Council Bluffs, The big building Is baing snubbed, as though it were only ntry way station, the trains simply stopping there to accommodate a fow pas- sengers, most of the traveling public using the local depots cr going through to Omaha. It fs understood thut there will be a con- ference here today of the superinteudents interested, for the purpdse of readjusting the rental rates at the transfer. Horetofore the Union Pacific nas been receiving from $300 to $1,500 a month from each of tho several roads runniog into the transfer. 7Theso two roads now withdrawing from this arrange- ment necessitates a new fix up. Anothier change is predicted as tho out- growth of the others. It is pretty well set- tled that the Chicago & Northwestesn will build a fine local depot on Broadway in the very near futurc. It is now reported that the Unton Pacific will join with the North- western in this project, and will oocupy the same depot, runuing its traios to and from Broadway Oue of the reasons given for the proba bility of such o scheme, is that the Union Pacitic rate ve at a disadvantage in securing passenger traflic to and from local points in Nebra<ka, if it attempts to nandle this busi- ness from the transfer that is being incon- veniently located, as compared with the tocul depots of other roads, which now send trains across the river aud into Nebraska. Tuere was a ceport lust evening that the proposed conference of railway officials set for today haa been postponed, but no reliable information could be obtained. Whatever may be its immediate action, or inaction, it secma quito probable that the scheme of the Broadway depot will materialize at no dis- taut date. If so, an entire new phase will be put upon the union depot project, the proposed location for that being in another part of the city, ————— A Prompt Paying Insurance Co.

Paul of Omaha was in the eity yes- terday with bright red war pusint on his face hunting for the man that set afloat the rumor that ho aad been seen on this side of the river in company with Guy C. Barton, look- ing over prospective sites for the smelting works. In very emphatic words he de- nounced the man as an urqualitied falsifier and stated that he preferred to give the nowspapers such informition as _he wished ublished himself and to have all other in- ormation kept sub rosa. There are several people, however, who are . sure thay saw the two gentlemen to- gether last Wednesday on this side of the river, and it is hard to understand the contradictory statements of the various par- ties, Itis thought by many that Mr. Paul is also on the inside of a large scneme of which Barton’s apparent avxiet; to move the smelting works is but a part. They regard the whole thing as a gigantic bluff,” and are not disposed to put much faith in the pros- pects of Council Bluffs for geuting the smelz- ing works located in Iowa. This does not mean, however, that no further efforts are to be made toward finding out Mr. Barton's real intentions. Hon. G. I. Wright is to have a conference with him todav. at which time it 18 hoped that somethine of interest may develope on the one side or the other. ——— Rush Job Or regular work for Omaha, or Council Bluffs parties, or anyone else, done promptly and properly at Pryors’ Bee job office, 12 Pearl street, Council Bluffs.

Fegley was brought up in the police court yesterday morning for a hearing on the charge of assaulting his wife with a hatchet, Mrs. Fegley was not able to be present awing to the serious nature of her wounds, but soveral witnesses were there and testified to the fact that the asssult Fegley was on- tirely unprovoked. Fegley stated by way of excuso that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing, He saw that things were looking very dark for hiw, and he asked that he be allowed to get an attorney. Nearly all the evidence was in, and the case was about to be submitted to the court. Judge McGee told him that his mind was? already made up as to what he would do with nim, that be should bind him over to await the action of the grand jury on his own state- ment, and the only thing that he was unde- cided upon was tho amount of bail he would require. Fegley insisted on having a lnwyer, wndso the case was continued until this morning, when it will be resumed. Picnic at Manhattan beach.

A hearing has beeu set for to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock, Attorney Flickinger states that he has no fear what the consequence will be.

Colonel C. €. Chase was *‘at home" last night, and around him ho gathered tt and women who for nearly a quarter of a century have boen the dondnating factors in the professional, business and social life of Omaha, It was like a leaf from the past to look over the graying heads of the influential citizens and a catening up of the broken chords to see the gentler sex renew the friendships formed when the metropolis of Neoraska was pldaing second fiddle to Sava- toga, now one of our suburbs. The occasion for all the light and life which were noticeable about the colonel's old homestead at Thirteenth and Dodge was a “house cooling,” so called by the host in honor of his leaving the roof tree which for tweaty-five years has been a landmark in Omaba. Busin has grown about the house, big biocks hem it in on all sides, until Colouel Chase finally decided to quit the home of 0 many delightful and so many sad asso- ciations for a new residence which he has built adjoining his son, Mr. Llemeut Chase on Park tvenue, and thither he wili remove withiu a fortnight. Assisting the ex-mayor of Omahu was Mr. and M and wife Fauny Batterfield. while Miss Mellona Butterficld, Miss McClelland, Miss Drake, Mss Kate Drake and Mrs.J. M Wootworth looked after the comfort of the guests throughout the rooms, which still re- tain the fiavor of the bygone. Refreshments were served under tents in the yard, and it was a singularly happy idea and & novel one too. It 15 quite safe in saying that 400 people availed themselves of the opportunity to talk over old days with Colonel Chase, who looked twenty years younger as he received the con- gratulations of young and old upou leaving the house, which was built by Beadle of dime novel fame, and brought to Omaha by teams of oxen. Socially it was the leading event of the summer ‘season, for not in years huve so many of the first citizens been under one roof as upon the occasion of Colonel Chase's house cooling last night. e SR No Cause Dis ‘overed.

His long service 1 Washington in both these capacities had given him a largo acquaintance with government officials and government methods, Knowing the men and the proper prosedure to follow, he was thosen as well qualified to push claims chrough in the shortest time if they were ustly due. The best lawyers to be hal were then em- gaged and a full elerical force put into the bureau. In every instance the men were chosen for their knowledge of the work to be done. Congress was not less anxious to protect claimants from robbery. The same kind of complaiuts had come 10 Ti Bek and gone to the members of congress as well. The com- mittees that had the Indian depredations bill under consideration investigated the opera- tions of the claim agents and attorneys in connection with the Indian depredations claims. Theyv found that the claim agents had demanded 3315 to 50 percent from the men holding the claims, and in hundreds of cases held contracts at these figures, While the bill was still in congress, with little ap- parent chance of passage, they were able, by metnods dangerously uear the line of false pretenses. to induce the claimunuts to sign tho exorbitant demands.: There appeared o be only one way to pro- tecuthe claimuuts, That was to cancel all contracts by law and limit the foos that at- torneys might collect. The claimants would thus be enabled to choose another agent if the one they nad first engaged had attempted to defrsud them, and the contracts could not demand more than the specified rate. The ninth section o1 the o was thus drawn to annul “‘all sales, transfers or as- signments of claims’ and “‘all contracts here- tofore made.” The maximum fee to be al- lowed was put at 15 per cent of the amount collected except in case of claims under &00 or where unusual work had to be done, when 20 per cent might be allowed, The amount of business received imme- diately after the opening of tho bureau is proof of the confidence in which the peopie hold it and of the distrust which the ordi- v claim agent has aroused.. In the six weeks, from April 1 to May 15, claims to the amount of &4, 4 were filed with the bureau on account of Indian depredation claims alone. All these go to the court o claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. Be- sides the claims unaer the Indian depreda- tion act there had been filed at that date treasury claims to the amount of $233,6(4; spoilation claims to che umount of land claims, &80,850; and patent and other claims to a large ‘amount, Sinco that date some 2,000,000 of claims have been filed with the bureau, and it is now attending over 35,000,000 of claims. ‘I'he neead for the bureau may well be seen by the fact, thatit now has on bhand more ciaims than all of the claim attorneys of Washington combinea. The efforts of congress and the establish- ment of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim agents. They wanted to continue 1o thrive in theiwr business of fleecing the needy claimant, They accordingly donounced the government and the bure; They held that the former could not cancel the contracts they had made with theiw vietims, But the cancellation was made in the interest and name of the people. And it nced anot be doubted that the eminent constitutional law- yeurs who framed the act i question did not do so without knowing what thoy were doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly had an effeet upon some men who desired to make new contracts and secure the services of some other attorney, but this effect will soon be destroyed and the emancipation of the claimant from the tyrauny of the shurk will be combiote, The amount of monoey that will be saved to the peopie by this work of Tie BEE BUiiAv leulate It will ecr- taly be very @ The work will be done as_noar actial cost as possible, Somoe of it will_not cost more than 5 per cent, while much of it can be done within the 15 and 20 per cent allowed by law. In somo cases tho 20 per cent may be required, It is the inten- tion, however, to give tho claimant the bene- fit of thelowest charges that will cover the expenses of tho service, Tue Be Bureau will prosecute claims in the supreme court of the United States, the court of claims, the several courts of the Dis- tricv of Columbia, before the committees of congress and the exccutive departments. It will secure the payment of just Indian depre- aation claims, laua claims, pension claims, mining pre-emption and homosteadscases und obtain patents at minimum cost and the greatest despatch, ‘There ave thousands yet who are entitled to pensions.
