UNION PACIFIC ALL RIGHT Physioal Oondition of the System Was Never Bettor Than at Present, PRESIDENT CLARK GIVES HS OPINION Rescit of the Tour of Inspection Plenses Him Immensely —Northwest Iy Prosper= ous—Outiook for Reorganization is Not Promising. Clark of the Union Pacific poised a letter opener in the air fong enough to say to a Bes man, as he sat at his desk In the general offices of the company, that he had little to say for publication as to his recent trip over the system. “But what about the handsome trout you President 8. H. H. caught on a four-ounce rod while in the northwest?" The letter opener was carefully laid to one side, the president of one af the greatest systems of rails in the world leaned back in his chair, a reminiscent look came into his eye, and then he lived over again the ex- citement of that gray day in October when he landed, after an hour and a half's hard work, the largest trout ever captured in the northwest country. The description of how he put two leaders on his line, the cast, the strike and then the physical endurance neces- sary to land the prize were described slowly, minutely, few words being wasted In useless explanation. “It was worth a whole month's outing to {and that one trout, and I think I am prouder of that episode in my life than to fepresent this great corporation.” “The system,” continued Mr .Clark, aftor his graphic description of catching the fish, “has nover been in so0 excellent condition a8 now. The rolling stock Is in first class order, the road bed in fine shape and every- thing is running smoothly. We are doing considerable work on the Snake, Boise and indian rivers In the way of putting in new bridges, the largest work, however, being done on the Snake river. ~We built the bridges over these rivers about the same time, and naturally they are giving out about the same time. The improvements on these rivers will cost in the nelghborhood of $300,- 000, but when compieted we will have fron and stone bridges In place of the wooden structures erected years ago. PROSPERITY PLAINLY EVIDENT. ““The country west of Nebraska and Kan- sas is seemingly in much better condition than the states mentioned. Cattle look fat and sleek in the northwest, Utah and Wyo- ming, corn, seems to be plenty and the farmers do not complain of shortage in Ccrops, as one hears on a trip through Ne- braska. There are portions of Kansas in & much better condition than Nebraska, strange as it may seem. It Is unfortunate when farmers have to import grain to feed their cattle and hogs instead of exporting it. This condition, however, obtains to a large extent in Nebraska, no later than yesterday soveral cars of corn having been recelved at Stromsburg from the outside. “All the Unlon Pacific needs Is business, for we are In first class shape to take care of anything that comes along. Our business in the west has been far greater than im the east, the Wyoming division alone having done more actual work In the way of hand- ling freight than for several years previou: I look, however, for improvement in the business situation, but it won't come until we have gone through what I anticipate will be an exceptionally hard winter. We are attempting to keep down our expenses to the lowest possible notch and are making no needless improvements. With careful- ness, however, we hope to tide over the next four months and be in a position to enjoy increased earnings, which are sure to come when spring opens.” ‘Do you anticipate that Messrs, Mink and Anderson, the recelvers who have .gone to tland to attempt an agreement with Re- celver McNeill of the Navigation company, will accomplish their mission?" was asked. “That is attributing to me powers of second sight, which I do not possess,’” re- plled Mr. Clark. “They should be able to agree, but whether they will or not is quite a different matter. The present demands of Mr. McNelll, the recelvers belleve, are out of all reason, but it may be pretty hard for Mesgrs. Mink and Anderson to make Mr. MoNelll see it in that way. Mr. Lomax has been in Portland for three weeks and more, and ha= gone over with Mr. McNeill the main grounds for the Union Pacific's refusal to_agree to the blanket division proposed Messrs, Mink and Anderson will follow up Mr. Lomax's arguments with Mr. MecNeill and attempt the formation of an agreement apon more conservative lines." “Can you say anything looking to the re- srganization of the Union Pacific property?” ihe reporter asked. REORGANIZATION NOT IN SIGHT. “That is one of the matters In connection with this property that I know little about. { know what the government directors recom- mend, but I anticipate there will be consider- ble trouble In making the public believe hat the recommendation of the directors is for the best interest of all concerned. I do not look, however, for the passage of the Reilly bill at the coming session of congress, but anticipate the introduction of a bill em. bodying the main features of the report made by ‘the government directors. However, as I sald before, the reorganization will only be accomplished after a full and free discussion and rests with the legislators, not with the ecelvers or directors. Mr. Clark reiterated his denial, made to some of the western papers, that changes were contemplated In the general superin- tendency of the Nebraska division. “‘We are not contemplating any changes. The road is running very smoothly, there is no friction whatever and everybody seems satisfied that e sre doing quite as well as our competi- ors.” PREPARING FOR WAR. Western Roads Are About Ready to Go After the Canadian Pacifie. CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—The lines of the West- ern Passenger assoclation are now making preparations for a big fight with the Can- adlan Pacific on emigrant business. The abso- lute rofusal of that road to entertain any thought of reducing its commission rate, and the fallure yesterday of the western roads to come to any agreement with the Soo line, leaves the assoclation lines nothing to do but to go after the business and to get it in the best way they find possible. As matters now stand, the westorn roads are confident the trunk lines will stand ‘with them in the fight, and as they haye the co-operation of the Grand Trunk already assured they count with_confidence on making their fight one of all the Amer‘can roads, aided by the Grand Trunk, against the Canadian Pacific. They will probably in a short time put their commission rates on westbound emigrant bus- iness 80 high that the Canadian Pacific will have to elevate its commission rates, which are. alread heavy, to a point where there will be little or no profit in the business for the Canadian Pacific. . PATCHED UP A PEACE, Ualon Pacific and Oregon Rallway and Navi- " gation Compuny Come to Terms. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 17.—A conference was held today by Recelver MeNeill of the Qregon Rallway & Navigztion company and the receivers of the Unlon Pacific. It lven out that an agreement to goven the tion of ' passenger business was aed, though on what basis was not ted. ‘This disposes of all differences be- tween the Union Pacific and the Oregon Ral way & Navigation company, and it will have the eftect of restoring the naturally close ralations between the two roads. ' Union Pacific Ordered to Pay ¢ oupons, ST.

About 200 members and friends of Fidelity council, Royal Arcanum, gathered at the par- Each lors of the council hall in Coun- ol Blufts Friday night for one of the '‘stag affairs’ with which this order has covered itselt with glory on a number of preceding occasions. Farly In the even- ing the council met for a short business meeting, during which the names of nine ap- plicants for membership were acted upon. The visitors, who included about forty from Union Pacific and Pioneer councils of Omaha, were then admitted to the lodge room. Judge W. L. Smith delivered an address of welcome to the visitors in his ¢ eristic veln of humor, after which E, nyder and Judge Anderson responded on behaif of the Omaha representatives. At 9:30 o'clock the banquot hall was thrown open and a magnificent spread was put out of sight in due form While the coffee and cigars were being en- joyed, E. A. Troutman, as master of cere- monies, introduced A. T. Flickinger, who de- livered' an address on the purposes of the order. Mr. Magrane of the Ploneers and Judge Leo Estelle spoke in a peculiarly happy manner. 1. M. Treynor, the grand regent of Towa, spoke on the subject of “‘Supreme and Grand Councils.”” Rev. E. J. Babeock, Rey. E. W. Allen and T. E. Cavanaugh were also emong the speakers whose efforts were highly enjoyed. At the conclusion the Dud- ley Buck quartet of Council Bluffs sang *‘Com- rades in Arms,” and were greeted with rounds of applause. Fidelity councti No. 156, Royal Arcanum, of Council Bluffs sent a large delegation to Omaha last Monday evening to pay their respects to Union Pacific council and the new deputy supreme regent, Thomas E. Cavin. Several very enthusiastic speeches were made by Brothers Flickinger, Spruitt, Dailey and Jackson of tho visiting members, and Cavin and Maynard o Union Pacific. James E, Preston is once more attending to his duties after a very severe illness of ten days. Alfred P. Darlow Is slowly recovering after a six weeks' illnes To Reliove Their Brothren. Tho lodges of the Ancient Order ot United Workmen in this state have decided by a vote of 333 to 17 to postpone the next annual sesslon of the grand lodge of the state, which would occur next May, and to expend the $8,000 which is appropriated for the session to'the rellef of the members of the order in the western part of the state who are suffer- ing on account of failure of crops and the drouth. The lodges in the eastern part of the state have felt for some time that it was their duty to relieve in some way the sufferings of their less fortunate brethren in the west. The bond of fraternity which binds the members of the order together would not permit them to behold the suffer- ing of any member without some effort to- ward relief. The best and most practicable means appeared to be that mentioned, as it would place immediately at the disposal of the relief committee a considerable sum of money. But, in addition to this, all the lodges in the state will contribute individu- ally clothing, money and other articles. It is the intention of every member that no member in the state shali be allowed to suf- fer. To facilitate matters the state will be can- vassed, and_every -member is expected to contribute whatever his means will allow him. These contributions will be forwarded to the grand lodge headquarters at Lincoln. From there they will be sent to the relief commit- tees of the varlous lodges in the western part of the state. This system will do away with fraud, as each lodge will know its suf- fering members, and no impostors will be given an opportunity to obtain anything un- der false pretenses. The degreo of honor is preparing to assist in the work also. ertalnment by the Foresters. Friday night court Omaha No. 1,091, Inde- pendent Order of Foresters, gave a publio entertainment in its hall in the Patterson block, Seventeenth and Douglas streets, which will be long remembered. There was an immense ¢rowd in attendance, and all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. A splendid program had been prepared for the occasion, which comprised several speeches. Deputy Supreme Chief Ranger Charles Watts delivered an address on the order and its advantages. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served and then followed a program of dances. The occasion 50 thoroughly represented the social characteristics of the order that a num- ber of those present signified their intention of becoming members. The camp Is at present working under a dispensation, ex- tending from November to January, which permits candidates to be admitted at charter rates. The camp is working for one of the big prizes offered for increase in membership by the first of the year, and confidently ex- pects to capture one of the biggest. An A0, U, W. Band. Union Pacific lodge No. 17, Ancient Order of United Workmen, has a large and active membership, and very well represents the oldest beneficiary order in the United States. The members are now developing a crew that will be second to none In the state, and have recently established a brass band and orchestra. The band is to be composed of members of the lodge. Mr. Frank Cain has been en- gaged as leader. While they have already made considerable progress, they cheerfully Il Anclent Order of United Work- s wHl be deferred a few months to give them time, and perhaps tune. The band will give its first annual ball on November 30, in Myrtie hall, Continental block, and hopes to score a social success. Whatever may be the financial outcome, members and friends of the order are fnvited. 4 Good Templar Installation. The public installation given by Life Boat lodge No. 150, Independent Order of Good Templars, last Thursday evening, was eminently successful. It was in the lodge rooms in Myrtle annex, Fifteenth and Doug- 1 A very large audience in at- tendance. A good program was rendered. One of the features of the entertainment was a guessing contest over the number of beans in a glass jar. Two prizes were given, one a beautiful basket of flowers, and the other was the bottle of beans. The first prize was won by Miss Bertie Kunkel and the second by Robert Trimble, Kuights of the Maccabers. The Knights of the Maccabees are prepar- ing to give a grand entertainment, reception and baaquet in their hail in the Patterson block on Thanksgiving day. Indications are that a fine program will be arranged for the occasion. The tent of the Ladies of the Maccabees has not been fully organized as yet, the backers hope to have the organization completed in a very short time. On next Wednesday evealng the knights of Omaha and Council Blufls will attend a by the knights of that city. Modern Woodmea Ball, Akerlund camp No. 2055, Modern Woodmen on Thavksgiving night in the Valley opera house of Valle: Neb. - s P Injuries to the Cruis-r Cinclnnatl, NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The water was pumped out of the timber dry dock in the Brooklyn dock today and the crulser Ciu- cinnatl, which met an accident in tae sound Vesterday, stood high and dry for In- spection. About two feet below the water line and some fifty feet from her bow on the port side there is an abrasion, and the plates are sprung. Below the bilge keel amidships several plates are jarred, and it was at this point the leakage occurred which flooded “some of the compartmenia in the double bottom.

STATE BOARD IN EMERGENCY SESSION Annex Authorizod for the Lincoln In Asylvm for the Benefit of the € les ne nva- ng Patients—Labor Leadors Call the Repudiated Statesman Down. LINCOLN, Nov. 17.—(Speclal)—The ad- journed meeting of the board of public lands and buildings, which was to be held next Monday, convened today instead, at the capi- tol. The emergency was the critical condi- tion of the water works at the penitentiary, The board directed that immediate steps be taken to repair the works and increase the supply of water. Although there are no funds for such purpose available, a deficiency will be created for this purpose. The board also directed that an annex be bullt at the insane asylum, consisting of four or five rooms, for the benefit of convalescent patients in the hospital. SPIRITUALISTS INCORPORATE. Articles of incorporation of the Spiritual assoctation of Nebraska were filed today with the secretary of state. The object of the association as stated in the articles is to advance the principles of truth and justice, and the promotion of _intelligence, good morals and liberality. The period of incor- portation extends from November 17, 1893, to December 31, 1944. The Incorporators are 0. C. Campbell, P. S. George, H. E. George, J. W. George, Mrs. Anna V. Herman, Mrs. S. R. Mann and Miss S. E. Ferris. Articles of assoclation were also filed by the Advanced Order of Allied Senators. This is an enter- prise at present confined to Lincoln, the principal object of the order being the pro- motion of brotherly love and fraternity. NO CHANCE FOR MAJORS. At the meeting last night of the Lincoln Labor club Sam D. Nedrey of Omaha made some forcible remarks, after which resolu- tions were introduced endorsing Jerome Shamp for warden of the penitentiary. The following resolution was introduced by L. S. Gillick and passed by a large and enthusiastic vote: Whereas, The will of the people is the supreme law of the land; Whereas, The inviolable volce of the peo- ple is the ‘ballot; Whereas, The ' corporate creature is not greater than the popular creator; Whereas, Trusts, combines and corpora- tions have increased In audacity and ra- pacity until they have bocome not only a menage to liberty and a free ballot, but have iovaded both; Whereas, The American people survive and are determined to make this known to those corporations who have usurped munic- ipal and state control; Whereas, They are determined that the will of a few men who grow fat by the de- struction of the rights of their country shall never prevail over the great patriotic mul- titude; Whereas, They are mindful of the blood the fathers and federal soldiers shed for the establishment and defense of free insti- tutions; Whereas, The people of Nebraska recently elevated Silas A. Holcomb to the executive alr by a free and unbought and untram- meled ballot; Whereas, 1t has been intimated, as a test of the patriotism and forbearance of our people, that he has not been duly elected; s, It has even been proclaimed that Silas A. Holcomb would not be allowed to take his seat; be it Resolved, That we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor in the de- fense of the institutions founded by our fathers, and that we will not stop at any sacrifice to prevent the most Corrupt corpo- ration that eyer cursed a free state from robbing us of our honest, honorable and glorious vietory. % Jerome Shamp was elected to represent the club at the Denver convention. LINCOLN BREVITIES. Intolligence has béen received in this city of the drowning of C. O. Bonnell, formerly a fireman in the employ of the Burlington, in the Big Horn river near Sheridan, Wyo., a few days since. He was employed in the construction of a bridge and fell into the river. Because the millinery stock of n Dusen & Brydon was going out of style, an order was entered up this morning in the district court for the sale of the goods on the 24th inst. and the proceeds to be paid into court. The caso has been lingering in judicial hands for some time. YORK COUNTY FARMERS, In Fair Condition and One Good Crop Wi Give '"Em Plenty. YORK, Neb., Nov. 17.—(Special.)—The con- dition of the farmers of York county, while not bright, is not as bad as it was expected that it would be. The fact that they had raised but little small grain and little or no corn cast a shadow over thelr prospects of going through the winter unaided. It is true that a few, being too hard pressed by cred- itors, claimed protection by setting them- selves up as exempt under the laws of the state. This was only done in a few cases, however. There is no doubt that most of the Yarmers will be compelled to borrow money to live on through the winter, but as the majority hold real estate it will be no inconvenience to them to do so. While most have some stock on hand, the greater portion of the horses in good condition were bought up and shipped east. This was done by the implement, carriage and buggy dealers more especially, ‘they exchanging farm implements for the horses. What else they have can an abundance. Most of the renters of farms will hold their present places. The greates difficulty for them will be the purchasing of seed for their spring sowing, and how this will be accomplished by all is only a matter of guess work. Summing all up, while the farmers of the county are in a poor condi- tion, they are far better off than the aver- age western farmer. A good crop would lift the majority of them out of their present difficulty. Boodling Charges Cause Trouble. BELLEVUE, Neb., Nov. 17. meeting here this week.

NEBRASKA HUMANE SOCIETY. e e SANDOW’S CURRENCY SCHEME. Issued Postal Notes Liberally, but Uncle Sam Did Not Approve of the Plan. Jules Sandow, the postmaster at Greyson, Neb., who is in the custody of the United States marshal under charge of serious of- fenso against the government, yesterday turned over to the postal authorities $80 to make good a part of the losses sustained by the government through his operations. Sandow claims to be a public benefactor instead of a criminal. During the hard times he lssued postal notes to the amount of $90 and put them in circulation without having received the money therefor from the parties to whom they were originally issued. Ha also admitted that he was short about $124 on his postage stamp account and it was for the purpose of making a part of this shortage good that he paid In the $80. Who Wrote the Card? The case in which Adam Cook is being tried for sending objectionable writing through the United States mails is still on before Judge Dundy and will hardly be finished beforo Monday afternoon. Something of a stir was created yesterday when the first witness for the defense was placed on the stand. Friday the principal witness for the United States was George Hemple of Fairfield. He swore that the objectionable postal card was in Adam Cook’s handwriting. Yesterday a witness named Hall, also from Fairfield, took the stand and swore positively that the writing on the postal card was the writing of George Hemple, and that some time before the date on which the card had been written Hemple had declared that he proposed to ‘‘fix" Adam Cook. Appeal the Maximum Rate Case. The decree in the maximum rate case has not yet been signed, but will probably be within a few days. As soon as tho decree is signed John L. Webster, counsel for the state, sald yesterday that he would at once’ carry the case to the United States court of appeals. He can carry the case to the supreme court of the United States direct, but prefers to take it first to the court of appeals, for the reason that he can get a decision from that court, and, if it proves adverse, can still carry it on to the highest court without loss of time. — High Fi rty. A most delightful and informal progressive high five party was given by Mme. Norris, in her apartments at the elegant home of Mrs. F. E. Gernhardt, Twenty-sixth and Har- ney streets, last evening, it being in honor of the return of Miss Myrtle Norris, who has been visiting triends in Marshalltown, Ia. The rooms were tastefully and beautifully decorated with festoons of Japanese lanterns, while the odor of Chinese incense and beauti- tully lighted rooms seemed to transport one to some oriental palace. The most of the evening was spaut ‘n card playing, after which an elegant repast was served at The Shriner, which was followed in turn by singing and instrumen‘al music at her apartments. Among those present were: Messrs. Will Tippery, Fritz Marty, Ad Arter, Lonis F. Gernhardt, Will Taylor, Frank Adair, O. G. Osbourne and” Samuel Evans, and Mesdames Norris, I. V. Llepser, Misses Walrad, Marty, Amy F. Gernhardt, Emma Goodman, Pauliae Lentz, Maud McGee, Jarman and Myrtle Norris. P Sut—, Short Pollee Stories. Williant L.

The only time on record when Eli' Perkins was taken at his word was when he pointed out to the people of O'Neill that that portion of Nebraska was especially adapted to the culture of chicory. pany was formed and the growing and m ufacture of chicory became a reality. While this enterprise has not been advertised to any great extent, and very little has been written upon the subfect, the business has been made a success. It has been demon- strated beyond a doubt that chicory s a profitable crop for Nebraska farmers, that with a little encouragement thousands of acres of land in this state could be made very remunerative, while employment would be glven to a very large number of people in growing and manufacturing. G. C. Hazelet, secretary of the German Chicory company of O'Neill, says that 1,800 acres were planted to chicory in this state In 1893 500 acres were the past season. planted, and in 1892 100 acres.

Henderson In Fremont county in 1891, escaped between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon during a snow storm and has not yet been appre- hended. Warden Adams has offered $500 e~ ward for the apprehension of the prisoner. How he managed to get outside the prison walls in broad daylight is a mystery. This is the second prisoner who has gotten away in the past two months. Kinch McKluney, the cattle thief, has never been heard of since he made the break for liberty. 18iated for His Old Position, SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Nov. 17.—(Special.) —J. W.
