The road has been considerable of a bur- den for the Union Pacific proper to carry, almost every year the balance sheet showing a deficit, President Clark when asked about the mat- ter sald that he knew little about the situ- atlon, New York being the place to look for confirmation or denial of the rumor of a separate recelvership. e Imflammatory tism Cured.

No Danger of a Walk Out—Mr, Gideon's Surprise Party, When the report reacned Scuth Omaha yesterday that all the union butchers ted much packers and stock Chicago were about to strike anxiety on the part of the it cre yards management here A reporter for The Bee went through the different packing houses and talked to many of the butchers. Not a single man talked favorable to a walk out here. They seemod to think that it would not assist the Chi cago strikers if they should quit work while on the other hand it would In all probability throw every man out of a job who struck “We are perfectly satisfied here,” said one of the butchers as he stood in a group where thiere were five or six fellow workmen “The only thing we are afraid of is that this strike will so interfere with all kinds of business that we will not be able to get in more than half time. The South Omaha butchers certainly have no grievance and I do not believe a dozen men could be mustered to go out through sympathy under the circumstances. Why don’t those rail- road guys go out before they call on a butcher? The railroad men are the fellows who have a grievance, not us. The rail- road men are running trains to haul soldiers down their fellow workmen. As railroad gang sees fit to work pretty gally to call on a poor butcher to throw up a job when he is get* ting all the pay he asks and almost full time at that. The strike has gone so far now that a good many of the butchers will be laid off. At Cudahy's only a small portion of the gang in the hog Kkilling department worked after 10 o'clock. It is barely possible that some of the men who getting in short time will become dis- tisfied in a day or so and endeavor to create a general walk out, but the level- headed butchers say there no danger whatever of a strike lere unless there is a local grievance. School Board Pracecdings. The school board held a meeting last night and discussed proposed changes in the re- taining wall. Some of the members thought it would be just as well to not sink the wall into the ground two and one-half feet, whila others were in favor of carrying out the original plans to the letter. Contractor Parks was asked the cost of a chang but refused to give off-hand estimates. It was proposed to change the style of the cap of the wall also, but the whole matter went over until next meeting. Mr. Pearl made a kick on the manner in which the work was assigned to the d ferent janitors. He said that if a ditch was to be dug it was as fair for Mme man to go down in the trench as another. . His intima- tion was that Paul McAuley, one of the Janitors, was playing favorites. County Superintendent Hill was present at the meeting, but said he had merely come down to look over the books and had nothing to offer. The board will have to buy some supplies and a number of desks at once, and an ad- journment was taken until this evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Gideon's Surprise Party. Mr. E. D. Gideon, president of the school board, was given a happy surprise through the arrangements of his | wife Wednes- day evening. Mrs, Gideon in- vited in a company of their friends and when the head of the family re- turned from Albright, where he had been conducting a prayer meeting, he was con- fronted with the surprise. The evening was pleasantly spent by all and at the proper hour Mrs. Gideon served the guests with light refreshments. It was the 31st anni- versary of the birth of the host and during the evening Rev. C. N. Dawson on behalf of friends presented Mr. Gideon with a handsome study chair. Those present were: Rev. and Mrs. C. N. Dawson, Messrs. and Mesdames F. A. Cressey, J. O. Eastman, Joseph Boger, J. H. Bulla, W. A. McAllister, C. E. Eoff, N. B. Meade, E. G. Smith, C. D. Gibson, H.

Sold by drugglsts NEW CANAL PROPOSITION Accepted by the Company as Submitted by the Bp:cial Committee, CONDITIONAL ON KOUNTZE'S APPROVAL Company Will Pay Election Expenses—Im- portant Guaranties that Are Made Part of the Agreement—Change In Manner of Paying 18 After several weeks of negotlation there is now every prospect that the Platte river canal proposition in an amended form will be submitted to the people at no distant date. The original proposition submitted by the canal company was considered too loose to properly protect the interests of the peo- ple. After some discussion a committee was appointed to formulate an amended proposi tion, which should contain no objectionable feature and by which all Interests involved might be sufficiently fortified. After two weeks of almo:t continuous ses- sion the committee completed a proposition which seemed to meet with the approval of most of the members. This was presented to the canal company, and at a meeting held yesterday afternoon the company decided to accept the proposition. This was on condition of the approval of Mr. Kountze, who was in New York, and consequently unable to be present at the meeting. Mr. Kountze was immediately wired of the action of his col- leagues and a reply Is expected from him some time today he proposition as accepted by the com- pany is a somewhat formidable document and the conditions of the agreement are stated with considerable detail. One of the conditions on which it was most difficult for the committee to agree was that relating to the capacity of the canal and the method to mployed In its measurement. As finally d on, the proposition contends that the shall have a capacity of 20,000-horse power at the penstock and a delivering ca- pacity of 7,500 cubic feet per second. The measurement is to be made from a point three feet from the top of the canal banks. CONCERNING THE BONDS. The amount of bonds to be voted by the county to the company is the same as was designated in the original proposition. Some provisions have been added, however, as to the manner in which the bonds shall be de- livered, which were insisted on by the com- mittee. These are o the effect that the company shall be paid $15,000 for each mile of the canal as it is completed. This, calcu- lating on the estimate of forty miles as the length of the canal, would make $600,000 to be paid down during the construction of the nal. The remaining $400,000 is to be paid follows: $50,000 when' the dam at he Ikhorn river is completed, $50,000 when the basins and other worke at the Platte river are finished, $50,000 when the pen- stocks and other machinery at the Omaha terminus are in position, $50,000 when the water is turned into the canal, and the re- maining §200,000 when the power Is deliv- ered in Omaha and South Omaha. One of the m important changes made by the committee was in ex- tending the limit of time at which the plant could be purchated by the county from ten to fifteen, years. Mr. Kountze wanted the time extended to twenty years, and a compromise was finally ef- fected on the fifteen-year basis. The agree- ment provide t when the county com- missioners decide to purchase the plant they 1l give notice to the canal company and the value of the property shall be appraised by a board of five appraisers, one of whom shall be selected by the commissioners, one by the canal company and the other three by the judges of the district court. In ap- praising the property no franchise shall be taken into consideration and the $1,000,000 in bonds donated by the county shall be de- ducted from the purchase price. None of the appraizers can be re:idents of Douglas county. Another stipulation Is that construction must be begun October 15 next, and $75,000 must be expended before June 1 next. It has also provided that the company shall construct permanent bridges over the canal at each public highway. Such power as may be required by the county is to be fur- nished free of charge and power is to be furnished the city for electric lighting pur- poses at a fixed rate, on condition that the city furnish its own dynamos. It is c that this rate is low enough so that the cost of public and private lighting can be ma- terially reduced in case the city decides to take advantage of the proposition, CITY MAY HAVE WATER. Another proviso gives the city' the right to take water from the top of the canal for domestic and public uses at a uniform rate of $2 per million gallons. The rate to be charged by the company is regulated by a sliding scale, which runs from $22 to $50 per horse power per annum. In this conncction the company agrees to de- liver power in any part of Omaha or South Omaha where it may be given a franchise to lay its wires. The county commissioners have as yet received no official notice of the acceptance of the proposition, and this Is not expected until Mr. Kountze is heard from. It is be- lieved that Mr. Kountze will agree with the other stockholders, and if that is the caso the next step will be taken with but little delay. One of the conditions on which the commissioners succceded in carrying their point was in regard to the expense of the special election. In accepting the proposi- tion the canal company agreed to pay this, and as soon as it files its bond to carry out the work of not later than that at least n construction its agreement In this respect the commis- sioners will pass the necessary re:olution calling the election. - When Traveling.

Two months ago the First National bank of this city was confidenced out of $33.20, but, the matter was never called to the at- tention of the police until yesterday, which fact makes it next to impossible to locate the party who did the work On May 22, a young man giving tne name of L. H. Bardell, and saying that he resided in Lincoln, called at the bank and pre United States express money order for $33.20, and requested it cashed. The order was pay- able to E. D. Saunders, but was not en- dorsed. The paying teller refused to take the order until it was properly endorsed, and until the party presenting it had been identl- fled. Later in the day the young man re- turned to the bank, and after making the proper showing, got the cash, after which he disappeared. How the order was secured fs a mystery to all of the bank and express officials, though they are of the opinion that it was stolen from the malls. The police claim that Bardell Is the same boy who robbed the mall box at the State hotel, and who afterward stole a bicycle from in front of the government building.

Lessees of Winnobago Indian to Be Dispossessed. In the federal court Judge Dundy yester- day afternoon decided the case of the Flourney Land and Cattle company, brought against Major Beck, the Winnebago Indian agent at Pender, to restrain him from dispossessing the cattle company and the squatters who are holding under and by virtue of sub-leases. Some years ago the cattle company leased something like 87,000 acres of lands on the reservation from the Indian tribe, after which a quantity of land was sub-let to squatters and men from outside the agency. The lease was for a long period of years and Lands Not things went along smoothly enough until a few months ago, when the agent com- menced ejectment proceedings in the United States court, making the cattle company and the squatters the defendants. Soon after that the case was argued before Judge Dundy on an_application for an to restrain the agent from premises. Yesterday, in passing upon the case, the court held that the agent would be restrained injunction acting in the from calling upon: the government for troops to remove or eject the parties now holding possession under the original or the sub- sequent leases. The effect of this decision is that all of the parties now upon the reservation will be allowed to remain until the United States takes another turn at the law. The e will be at once carried to the United States clrcuit court of appeals for a final hearin Wait for It. The Morse Dry Goods Co. will be closed all day Friday to mark down prices all over the house and bring forward to their retail department ‘all duplicate stock. This s done to dispose of their large stock as soon as possible. Rest all day Friday, as Satur- day at Morse’s is bound to be exciting both to you and your purse. Come early, before the crowd. California s Loyal. Mr. M. Lichtenstein, one of the proprietors of the San Francisco Evening Post, is in the city on his way home after a seven weeks' absence. He stated to a Bee re- porter yesterday that he did not feel at all alarmed over the reported insurrection at Sacramente. “The people of California,’” said Mr. Lichtenstein, “are extremely ex- citable, but they are always loyal. They are always looking for a fight and always avoiding one. They talk a great deal, but do little when it comes to violence or dis- obedience to the lawful authorities. I feel confident that the ditching of the train near Sacramento yesterday was the work of a lawless element that has assembled vithin the vicinity of the coast cities within the past year. I have lived in San Francisco for. thirty-four years and in all this t'me I have never seen So many tramps bums in that city as during the last w We have sent them away by thousand for every thousand shipped out another thou- sand has come in to take their places. I have no doubt but that the Sacramento out- rage by which the engineer and fireman and three soldiers of the regular army lost their lives was tho. work of this class of bummers. They were not citizens of Cali- fornia, although our state will have to as- sume the responsibility (they have thrown upon us. The Californian is just as patriotic and just as loyal as any citizen of the coun- try and he will go as far as anyone to put down lawlessness and punish men guilty of such acts as the one perpetrated yester- ke and e Death of a Veteral One of the few remaining veterans who participated in the memorable engagements of the war of 1812 died in this city at an early hour yesterday. The deceased was Jacob Lininger, who for the past eight year had resided with his son, Jacob Lininge jr., at 1601 Frederick street. Mr. Lininger was born in Pennsylvania in 1797 and was scarcely 16 years of age when he left home to join General Scott’s com- mand. He fought at Chippewa and Lundy’s lane, where he was complimented by his superior officer for gallant service. He re- mained in the army until after peace was de- clared, when he was honorably discharged The 'son at whose home he died is 54 years of age and is the youngest of twelve sons of the deceased. He Is employed by the Burlington railroad. Mr. Lininger was for- merly also employed by the same corporation, but during recent years had become so feeble and had grown weaker until he yesterday from sheer old age. The funeral will be held at the residence at 10 o'clock today, after which the mains will be interred at Forest Lawn. The Sixteenth street viaduct caught fire yesterday, and for a time it looked as though the structure was doomed to g0 up in smoke. The chemical from No. 3 and one of the engines was called out, and soon the flames were extinguished. It is sup- posed that the fire started from the dropping of a lighted cigar. -——— Half Rates to Toronto. Via the Burlington route, July 17 and 18.

Discussion as to When State Nominations 8hould Be Made, SENTIMENT ON THE CONVENTION DATE Free Silver Fellows Want an Early Meeting, Which Is Opposed by a Majority of th State Committes—d, Sterling Morton Confers with Local Lenders. J. Sterling Morton, secrotary of agri- culture in President Cleveland's cabinet, re turned to Nebraska City yesterday after a night's stay at the Paxton. During his briet visit to Omaha the secretary held an informal conference with the democratic party of this city, or rather, with the only branich of the party that he s willing to rec ognize in his official capacity. Among tho elght or ten gentlemen present were Euclid Martin and C. 8. Montgomery and the coming campalgn in this state was pretty freely discussed. A report of the de- bate is not at hand, but it Is stated on what may be considered relfable authority that the sentiment in favor of an immediate call for a meeting of the state cenfral committee was not noticeable for its prominence. 1t was developed during the conversation that Chairman Martin had addressed a per. sonal letter to each member of the comitteee, in which he referred to the fact that ther had been a demand for an early meeting of the committee and an early convention. Mr. Martin reauested each member of the committee to give his personal views freely and without reserve. Twenty-five replies were received, and of this number nineteen expressed themselves emphatically as being opposed to a_meeting of the state central committee, while six insisted that the chair man call the committee together. The names of the ninetcen who favored a late committee meeting are kept in the dark, but the names of the six were all attached to the call for the recent silver conference. retary Morton contributed to the dis fon some information relative to a_pe tition which is now being circulated in Lix coln and which is intended to relieve the airman of the state committee of any sment he may be laboring under with re nce to the call for the meeting This petition is expected to be made public within a few days. IN THE FIGHTING WRST. Church Howe was in the city Wednesday, but he insisted that his visit had nothing whatever to do with politics or with the settlement of the strike. Consequently, it is presumed that the Nemaha statesman came to Omaha for the purpose of taking a bath in the limpid waters of Courtland beach. It is well known that Howe has the wire pretty well insulated for an attack upon the congressional convention which i to meet at Nebr City next month. He claims that it Is already settled that neither Judge Chapman or J Strode of Lin- coln can secure the nomination, and conse- quently it lies between himself and Church Howe. The republican situation in the Fi trict is pretty well diagramed by Magoon ~ of Lincoln, who Omaha yesterday on busine nected with the Capital National bank cases in the United States courts. Mr. Magoon is a_warm_ supporter of Judge Strode, and one of the delegates to the con- ais- Charles was in con- gressional convention. He says that the situation has resolved fitself to the point where Judge Chapman will use his utmost endeavors to defeat Judge Strode. On the other hand, the Lancaster delegation pro- poses to see that Judge Chapman does not secure the coveted honor. Owing to the peculiar apportionment in the First district, it is hardly possible for either Chapman or Strode to secure the nomination without the solid vote of Cass and Lancaster counties in the convention. Consequently, the chances for a third candidate are be ing more brilliant as the fight between Strode and Chapman becomes warmer. The second choice of the Lancaster delegation will be divided between Church Howe, Judge Hay- ward and J. C. Watson, with the majority of the delegates favoring Church Howe. So ys Mr. Magoon. Changing the subject, Mr. Magoon stated that he was very glad that the receiver of the Capital National bank had commenced suit against the stockholders of that defunct institution to recover some $267,000 of divi- dends illegally declared and paid while the bank was in the palmiest days of its erratic career. To Mr. Magoon, who the at- torney for D. E. Thompson and a number of others of the stockholders, this proves that there is at least $267,000 which Mosher did not get away with. The bank’s assets, as estimated by Receiver Hayden, already amount to something like $988,000 and the dividends paid to the stockholders, accord- ing to the suits brought by the recciver, will swell the assets to over $1,000000. 'This is somewhat in excess of the liabilities of the bank and goes far to prove that perhaps after all Mr. Mosher is not as black a man as his enemies have painted him.
