Yesterday after noon a conference w had with General Manager Burt of the khorn as to detalls regarding the building of the Lincoln sta- tion and matters affecting the facilities for getting into the same. The party will leave this morning for Lincoln, thence south to Crete, Atchison and the Kansas lines. Mr. Doddridge, in talking to a Bee man, said that the Missourl Pacific had about struck bedrock eo far as earnings were con- cerned, and anticipated a monthly increase trom this on. “Wherever possible, however,” said he, “‘we will continue to & operating can be dis- expenses, closing stati.ns that pensed with and reducing train service on some of the branches. The Nebraska di- vision, however, will not be touched, as we think about all the reduction possible has been made here. We are building a new lron bridge across the Arkansas at Pueblo to cost about §20,000, and this re- quires some attention on my part.” Speaking of the strike, he said that about 400 of the men in the employ of the company had gone out, many of them at Little Rtock but that the actual damage to properly was small. When questioned as to the policy of giving service letters to the strikers, he stated the Missourl Pacific had not followed the service letter idea with any great devo- tlon. In fact, he rather intimated that the men who went out would have to rustle for themselves if they desired new situations, as by new mi thelr places had been filled with nonunion sentiments. Mr. Townsend, one of the brightest senger men in the railroad service of country, courtcous and dignifi his road and the railroad situation as only it can be known throngh long service, w in a talkative humor and discussed the trans- continental position like a savant Preliminary to his talk, he told a story fllustrative of the trip he was on with Mr. Doddridge. *“When Mr. Doddridge was g eral manager of the Cotton B:lt road, eame in contact with Colonel Fordyce, one of the noted men of the south, a gentleman of the old school, a politician, and 1 believe at one time national democratic committeeman from Arkansas. He was a director of the road and used to ride with Mr. Doddridge a great deal, once on one of his inspection trips. Later, Mr. Doddridge came along and ed of the colon:l if he did not want ny him en tour. The colonel, in a most dignified manner, asked Mr. Dod- dridge: ‘What, go with you on one of your d—d measuring trips? No, sir; by gad, sir.’ This is the kind of trip we are on, and Mr Doddridge hes got his foot rule out. Of the transcontinental situation the | 1, knowing he he sald: Ahe conference. in Chicago.

The Canadian Pacific continues to play the dog in the manger, al- though. the lines were all ready to concede the differentis] on the Port Arthur route to that road, when the Great Northern came in and speaking for the Oregen Railway & Navigation demanded the boat differential between S:in Francisco and Portland. This put a damper on the whole situation. We are now walting for the return of Mr. Lomax from New York and Mr. MeNeill of the Oregon Railway & Navigation. When they do return they may be able to offer some- thing that will put an end to the present embroglio. Individually I do not look for an agreement very xoon.

I can only hopé thit something will be done soon, but the cutlook i not the most promis- ing. Mr. Townsend also stated that the Missour Pacific would shorten up its passenger time a8 to a number of points in order to make connections. He spoke enthusiastically of the outlock in the south and thiught the worst was sbout over, so far as financial uestions are concerned, S iy Says M. W. Selby, Muncie, TL: “Last summer a coal miner came to my drug store one night, half dead with cramps. There was no doctor to be had. Ho asked me if I had anything that would help him. 1 opened a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol- era and Diarrhoea Remedy and gave him a large dose. In twenty minutes his pain was all gone. This man had been subject to cramps, but has not been troubled since.” Every family should kecp this remedy at hand for use in such cases. It can always be depended upon.

Bemis | by the two city councilmen, Isaac 8. ¥ | call and Daniel H. Wheeler, charging mis- demeanors in office and official misconduct The reply of the complainants was filed by their attorneys, Messrs. Clarkson and McCul- loch. Instead of the reply explaining the charges in the answer of the mayor, it'was a general denial The witnesses subpoenaed for the com- plainants were Frank S. Brownlee, clerk of the fire and police commission, George I Gilbert, Chris Hartman, V. O. Strickler and Howard B. Smith. Attorney Connell for the mayor objected to the introduction of any testimony on the ground that the charges and specifications did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. He said this objection would apply to the testimony of each wit- ness and all documentary evidence. The ob- Jection was overruled. Frank S. Brownlee, clerk of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, was sworn and testified. He had held the position of clerk of the board for seven yeirs, his duties being to record the proccedings of the board. ~ At the mecting held on Febru- ary 20, 1803, the records referred to a com- munication forwarded from the ety coun- cil. The communication was a petition asking for the closing of tne gambling hcuses, the closing of the hcuses of prosti- tution ‘and a rigid enforcement of the liquor laws. Following the introduction of the e munieation, the minutes of subsequent meet ings of the board were read, showing that a resolution to refer the matter to the chief of police was defeated. All of the petitior of the Law and Order League were intro- duced in evidence, Mr. Connell objecting on the grounds that they were immaterial, not bearing upon the case, LATITUDE WILL BE GIVE; The objection was overruled, the holding that greater latitude would be in the Intrcduction of evidence than case was on trial befor: a jury. The witness could not state how the il members of the board stood en the re Jection of the rceolution, as the record book did not show, but he knew that it was by a majority. Mr. McCulloch wanted to know how Mayor Bemis voted on the question, The witness could not remember, and couid not say that tha mayor cast his vote, as there was noth- ing in the rccord to show., Mr. Connell cbjected to the whole of this line of testimony, as the charges related tc nothing that happened prior to Mr. Strick- ler's morality resolution, which was intro- duced in January, 1894, He thought that such a plap was glving the complainant altog: ther too much latitude. If it had been the in tention to go into such testimony, charges covering the subsequent dates should have been filed against the respondent. Should such testimony be allowed to be introduced there would be no end to the trial, witnesses could be dragged in to show what acts the mayor had performed since the date of his birth. Judge Hopewell asked Mr. Clarkson why ho thought that it was nec:ssary to go back one year, when the charges set up nothing of the kind. Mr. Clarkson repiied that it was known to Mayor Bemis that gambling and disorderly houses existed many months prior to Lime of the presentation of the petition (o the board. The objection was sustained, but the testi- mony admitted for the purpose of showing the intent and knowledge of the mayor. GETTING AT THE RECORDS. Records of the fire and police commission were {ntroduced in evidence to show that the mayor voted against the suppression of gambling houses at the meeting held on January 8, 1894. There was nothing there, however, to show the ct, as the records ourt given if the state, that the mayor was excused from vot- ing. The witness was excused for the purpose of procuring some papers, and while he was absent George 1. Gilbe 1 ex-member of the fire and police commission, was called to the witnezs stand. While such member Mr Gllbert had introduced a resolution to stp- press gambling, but it was defeated, the mayor, Hartman and Coburn voting again: its adoption. While he was a member of the board Mr. Gilbert testifi:d that disorderly houses meant gambling houses, they being designated as such by ordinances. Mr, Con nell objected, as the ordinances would show, what were designated as disorderly hous's The objection was sustained and the answer stricken cut. On cross-examination Mr. Gilbert testified that he a member cf the Board of Fire and_Police Comm #sioners fcr six years prior to May, 1893 During his term of office witness' did not know of a time when gambling wes not carried on, as he was never in the gambling rooms. He had no doubt that gamel were running. While an official witness performed his duties to the best cf his ability. Efforts were made to close gambling houses, but they were never successful. The real question with the beard was how they could best be reduced in number ond regulated. There was no sleight-of-hand, the idea being to enforce tho law so &y’ o bring about the best re- su On_ redirect examination Mr. McCulloch asked if the wilness ever knew of a time when the law not enforced, except dur- ing the reign cf Mayor Bem's. The ques- tion was ruled out s being improper, fr- relevant and immaterial. MR. STRICKLER QUESTIONED V. 0. Strickler, a member of the Board of Fire and Police 'Commissioners, was called as a witness. He was the introducer of the resolution, looking to the suppression of the gambling houses of the city. The board had no official inform that gambling houses existed at the time, though there was a communication stating that they did. None of the members, however, . claimed that there were no open gambling houses in the “city. Witness could not remember that the mayor gave any reison for not voting for the suppression of gamblng houses, Upon being cross-examined, witness said he did not think the mayor took much part in discussing the resolution, though he dia say that he thought the suppression resolu- tion was for buncombe. Witness had taken a radical view of the gambling situation, thinking that gambling could be suppressed. Mr. Strickler had always lived in_a small town before coming to Omaha, and had the idea that gambling could be suppressed. Witness did not question the motives of the mayor. The old custom was to fine each nou per month upon pleaaing gnilty Witness did not know wha misslon for the placos tn run ) the end cf the month aft>r tae fite .y pul. The Judge of the poilce esi't imposed the fine without any understanding with the mem- bers of the board. The hearing will be roramed (Lis werning Hlachisloin.t Used » Knife on Him.

Whole of Yesterduy For Discussion of the Subjeet. Late hours at the banquet Tuesday night causcd the bankers to be tardy at the second 0on Devoted to day's session of the Nebraska Bankers as- soclation. Two papers relating to irrigation and a resolution relative to changing | the national banking laws took up the whole of the morning's session. It was expected that Congressman Hainer would be present to make an address, but ne did not reach the eity. The members listened to several committee reports, and J. T. O'Brian of North Platte was introduced to read a paper on the “Reclamation of Arid and Semi-Arid America by Irrigation. He presented a great many figures from original surve showing the acreage of lands now useless because of a lack of moisture. glons are in the west and northwest, and he thought that these lands could and would be reclaimed in the near future, thus up- building a great industrial west. He cited India as the pioncer country to adopt irrigation, and showed the fertility of lands furnished with moisture in an artificial manner and scientifically applied. He r ommended that the government make a sur- vey of all the arid lands showing the possi- bility of irrigation, the formation of the soil, and where water ‘could be obtained at the least expense. The government would in- « e the value of its poss:ssions more than enough to pay it for the expense of irriga- tion. He thought that there was enough water in the Platte, Loup, Republican and iobrara rivers to frrigate 25,000,000 of the 6,000,000 acres of arid lands in Nebraska. He thought that irrigation by means of arte- slan wells was too expensive, and not at all reliable, A map of the stale was used to illustrate the subject, and while the paper was quite lengthy, it was very Interesting. 1. A. Fort of North Platte read a.paper on “The Practicability and Cost of - Irrigation for Nebraska.” He said: *Nebraska is probably one of the moest fortunately situated of any of the stat:s of the union in regard to its water supply. She bas streams, a rainfall of thirteen to thirty-s nnually, and the water coming from the watershed of the Rocky mountain region. The South Platte is nearly drained by Colorado, but the North Platte contains cnough water to Irrigate 10,- 000,000 acres of land. The Republican river can be made to irrigate 1,600,000 acres, the Loup 2,000,000 and the Niobrara and Keya Paha a similar number of acres. Nebraska contains 49,500,000 acres of land, and of this amount 20,000,000 can be irrigated by means of canals and 15,000,000 by pumping plants and rescrvoirs. There are 10,000,000 acres of low lands in this state that may be irrigated at an expense of 32 per acre and 10,000,000 acres of high/land that: may he watered at a cost not exceeding $4 per acre.” He spoke of irrigation and its cost in the other states whero the rainfall is greator than it is in Nebraska. Mr. Fort thought that with irrigation farming would no longer | be an uncertainty, that the abundant re- sources - of the soil will be brought forth.

Howard, Yates and members of the executive committee didn't agree with him and argument was maintained from both sides. The resolution was finally adopted. The constitution of the association was amended so as to make four of the execu- tive committee constitute a quorum.

The convention adjourned shortly after noon, but the executive coun- cil met in the aftermoon to audit the ac- counts of the assotiation. The association is reported as being in a very prosperous condition, and a mumber of members were received at this meeting. The council re- elected Henry E. Wyman as treasurer, and Charles E.

Advertising, We have the exclu- sive sale of the cele- brated Cutler Desks Good office furniture means vastly more to you than a question of mere bodily com- ment. It s, in the “a matter of dollars and cents.” The world Is economical of ad- fort or aesthetic enj larguage of the street, vancement to men who are economical of appearance. No man in these days of competition ques tions the power of advertising, yet the fur- nishing of your office is the most subtle and personal form of advertising, It never falls to impress a customer. It tells the tale of sure success. It means that you have built up a trade among the class who demand the best. It shows that you yourself rightly value “the dignity of order” and the beauty of life, And what does it amount to in the way of cost? You can furnish a whole office (desks, tables, chairs, etc.) for the price of a single advertisment in a daily paper. The paper advertisment may or may not be of benefit, but the newly furnished office Is a standing advertisment for the nmext twelve months and its good results cannot be lost Chas. Shiverick & Co.

Work is cheap—food is cheap—clothes, we dare say, never sold so shamefully low. No one to blame. The woolen man saw fras wool coming and the cloth got cheapér, the manufacturer wanted our ready cash badly and clothing had to go down mighty low for it. A year ago weretailed a suit for five dollars, that kept buyer puzzled and seller rake his brains how it could be done—a suit con sidered a truer bargain at $10.00 than any one sold in Omaha at that price. This year we're selling ’em at four dollars, and a trifle better suit in every way. Suits that were six fifty last year are but five dollars this year. b Somewhat finer in workmanship too, and a good size collection of patterns to sclect from. Before you buy ours, take a look at any $5.00 suit offered about town, examine it rigidly and look at ours last. Our suits are warranted all wool. Suits thet we sold last year at ten dollars were —beyond con- tradiction—the best fifteen dollar suits ever sold legitimate or oth™ erwise. This season suits of the same class are only seven flfm The fabri® is as reliable as ever, couldn’t improve on that, for we always and are, by the way, far better made than ever before, aimed to furnish for that particular suit a cloth that is particu- larly durable.
