MILEAGE BUREAU FOR 0MAHA Office for Bale of New Script Books to Be Located Here. NORTHWESTERN FAST TRAIN MAKES TRIP Other Chicago-Omaha Lines Announce They WIill Not Undertake to Meet Northwestern and Rock Island Cuts. Twelve railroad systems of the transmis- souri country have now adopted the inter- changeable mileage scheme and the loca- tion of the general offices for the bureau bas been secured for Omaha. This last fact bas caused a wall of regret to rise up from officials of railroads with headquarters in Kansas City and also from the newspapers of that place, but as far as the new insti- tution itself fe concerned all the lines are glad to get It at last. The seript book eystem, planned by Gen- eral Passenger Agents Francis of the Bur- lingtoh, Lomax of the Union Pacific, Bu- chanan of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis- souri Valley and Nicholson of the Santa Fe, will be used and the books will be placed on sale July 1 at all offices of roads concerned. Between now and that date the bureau will be establiehed here and Messrs. Francls, Buchanan and Assistant General Passenger Agent Fort of the Union Pacific have been appointed an executive commit- tee in charge of this. This committee will select the bureau agent, find offices and start the thing running and will also con- tinue to have supervision over the affairs and expenses of the bureau till the expira- | tion of its term, one year hence. The com- mittee expects to determine upon an agent this week and will secure offices in so downtown business block so situated that enlargement st any time will be possible. The twelve main systems involved include about fifteen more proprietary lines. There are still some roads left in this territery that have not entered the arrangement. It is expected that the byreau business wiil enlarge to an enormoul extent with the passing of a few montha. At first the sales of books will be slow proportionately, -for thelr existence will not be so generally known and thelr method understood. So half a dozen clerks may be enough to tide the agent over for a few weeks. But as the sale incroases the force will of necessity be increased, and by the time the outstand- ing lines find what an advantage it is and discover that they must have it in order to compete with the others the business still more. General Passenger Agent Francis of the Burlington has just returned from Kansas City, where the meeting at which the scheme was adopted was held, and he is well pleased at the prospect. This script interchangeable mileage plan has been his t idea for some time. Sald he: “I feel @rtain that In a comparatively short time our bureau will be doing as large a business @8 any In the country. That will mean 100 or 80 clerks before long. We certainly have makes it in thirteen hours and fifty min. utes. On the Burlingtom No. 6 makes the run in thirteen hours and a haif there and No. 5 makes it in thirteen hours and three- quarters returning, the best time on that road. On the Illinois Central No. 2 gets to Chicago from here in thirteen hours and forty minutes, while No. 1 returns in thir- teen hours and fifty-five minutes. The Chicago Great Western prospective time cad only be estimated. % At Burlington passenger headquarters it is announced that mo notice will be taken of the cut in time. “The people do not care to ride that fast,” sald an officlal. ““The journey in there now is ideal, with the right speed and every passenger com- fort poseible. Nothing better is desired.” “We do not care whether they try to compete with us or mot,” said a North- western officlal. “With a double track, a block signal system the whole way and a straight course, that gait is none too fast. The Northwestern road is the only one with these two great improvements. We could even go an hour or 8o better if need be." Returas from Black H J. W.

Fast Time to Chicago. The one topic of general discussion on rallroad row is the Chicago & Northwestern passenger train which left Unlon station here at 8 o'clock Sunday night and slowed into Chicago at 7 o'clock Monday moraning. Though all raiiroaders knew that the time could be made easily enough no one thought it would be, and the movement of the Northwestern in establisbing this service ‘was 80 sudden that people had hardly real- ized the significance of the announcement betore the train itself had gone. As yet no other raiiroad has taken any steps to duplicate this schedule, nor even to equal that of the new Chicago, Rock lsland & Pacific train, which also started Sunday and which does the journey in twelve hours and a half. At present the best time from Omaha to Chicago over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road is made by No. 4, which goes the distance in fou teen bours and a half. No. 1, returniog.

Jobn Jenkins of Omaha, consul general at San Salvador, arrived in this city Sunday, baving been grented a sixty-day leave of absence from his post. Mr. Jenkins left San Salvador on April 21, just three days after the earthquake which worked such awtul loss of life and property in the neigh- boring republic of Guatemala. . “There have been several earthquakes in Central America since my dence there,” sald Mr. Jenkins, “but that of June 18 was the most violent I ever feit. The shock was felt in the city of Salvador at 8:30 in the evening, just when the ts were crowded with people, and something approaching a panic ensued.

OROWDS COURT WORK IN HOT WEATHER ‘ Judge Says Supreme Court Ought to [ Ret of Tak- ing Up Appealed Cases by Districts. to Former Pl The dignity of their office forbids any ehow of temper, but the district judges don’t hesitate to say that they dislike to see attorneys pursuing their present dila- tory tactics. They are piling up more work for the end of the term: than it may be possible to dispose of properly. “It s going to be too hot to try cases after the middle of June,” said one of the judges yesterday morning, “and so for this term it was arranged that there be but six weeks jury work. The jurors first drawn are already in their third week, so that we have less than a montb more for jury cases. Yet attorneys are persisting in de- mands for continuance after continuance, 80 that the last two weeks are certain to be overcrowded. “Often the excuse for demanding the de- lay is that they have to be in supreme court at Lincoln, and I wish the higher court would return to its former plan of taking cases by districts. When that system was in practice the court disposed of all the ceses of one district before taking up those of another, and in this way the attorneys of each district would be there for several successive sittings and then be through for some time. Now they have to be there for every sitting, as something from this dis- trict is heard at all of them, and the result is that here in district court we make the call Monday morning only to be told, fre- quently, that counsel wiil have to be in Lin- coln the next two days and cannot be ready before the last of the week to proceed in our court.” An Action for Possession. “Yes, and sometimes tbose chaps go fish- ing or give their time to cther matters that have nothing to do with courts, after we ave continued the cases,” remarked an- other judge, with a dry smile. “There is a young attorney naw practicing at this bar and who is said to stand a good chance of filling a judicial seat before long who fooled me badly about eighteen months ago, but so neatly that I had to forgive him. I contin- ued a case for him because he sald he had to be in Lincoln on a certain da: Later 1 learned that he had been married there on that day, and I spoke to him about it. “I thought you told me you bad & case on in Lincoln,’ I eaid.

I de- manded. * ‘For possession,’ he answered. ‘I began it three years ago and have been pleading pretty nearly ever sipce. In fact I was in court, or rather in chancery, most of the time, and finally when I pressed for an an- | swer to my original petition and got it, you surely couldn't blame me for dropping other suits to diepose of this ome.

Thomas Heldt, afl the way from Montana, |spent 20 Sunday nfght in wining and dining Esther Fleming and because ehe would not then consent to marry him had her arrested. After the officers found that Heldt was not of age and that he did not bave the consent of his parents to marry and the woman had stated that she would serve a term in the penitentiary be- fore she would consent to herd cattle in Montana she was released and Heldt was | locked up 1n order to prevent him from | epending $11 which he had saved out of | the wreck and to give him an opportunity to get over the effects of his touch of high life.

He was highly educated in navigation, but €0 eccentric and so de- voted to study that when a commodore in the Spanish navy on one of the most im- portant expeditions of his lite, he had be- come immersed in study and forgot to open the sealed orders on which the result of the expedition depended. This wae the man who, with two compa- nies of infautry, had been sent to take pos- session of half a continent ceded by the king of France to his “‘very dear and well- beloved cousin, the king of Spain,” at the same time the other half had been sur- rendered to his English enemies. The peaceable and eccentric Spanish scholar, with his corporal's guard of soldiers, found the English aggressive in their determina- tion to control the Mississippl and in Lou- tslana itself he found a rebellious popula- tion which he euspected of corresponding with the English to secure their help in the event of the failure of the mission on which Milhet had been sent to the court of France. The only sensible thing Ulloa could do on learning the situation was to temporize and postpone running up the Spanish flag at New Orleans, and he did it. Before fully learning what the situation was, however, he had carried out the policy of Spain in a way which forced the revolu- tion to issue. An absolute monopoly control of the trade of its colonles was then the policy of Spatn it was of England, and the first Ame: ican revolution was forced in Loulstana by the same cause which forced the be- gloning of the second in the English col- onles on the Atlantic. In September, 176¢, Ulloa, Who was then acting through Aubry as the represent tive of France under the treaty, caused “ score of soldlers, with fixed bayonets, pre- ceded by a drum, whose loud beating at- tracted the attention and excited the anger of the inhab " to parade the str of New Orleans and to proclaima the new decrees of navigation, under which the masters of all vessels reaching the port were ordered to present themselves before him thet he might set the prices at which their cargoes were to be sold.

Then she toid me to wait a minute and she would be back, and she didn't come. Now, Mr. Policeman, wouldn't you think if a woman would drink with you that way that she ought to marry you?” When the officer told him he knew of no law by which he could force Esther to marry him Heldt's love turned to hate and with a wild flourish of arms he declared tbat he “would mever marry no woman on earth.” ARGUE FOR FIRE CORONER Member of Commercial Club Meet the Councilmen in Gen eral Committee. After the noon recess of the city counc'l as & board of equalization it met in gen- eral committee for the purpose of consid- ering the question of the appointment of a fire coroner. There were present on be- balf of the Commercial club C. H. Pickens, J. H. Dumont, Mr. Hochstetler and H. 0. Beatty. Mr. Beatty represented the club in favor of the appointment, saying that the reduction of two points on the schedule rate, which the manager of the insurance union would be allowed when a fire coroner was appointed, would save to the purchasers of insurance in the city between $12,000 and $15,000, as there is more than $300,000 paid annually for insurance in this city. He sald the reason the companies desired the appointment of a coroner was to save the companies from the danger of damage sults where a party was prosecuted under the laws against arson, and to take from them the odium which attaches to com- panies when they litigate a case. Mr. Pick- ens spoke in favor of the plan as a business proposition, the expenditure of probably $2,400 a year by the city to save $12,000 a year to the citizens. Members of the council expressed them- selves as opposed to the plan, particularly Mr. Trostler, who said that if such a saving could be made by the appointment of the coroner the men who would save the money should be willing to pay the cost of the officer themselves and not throw it upon the city, which is now loaded down with officers. The chairman of the council committee stated to the members of the club that the matter would receive the attention of the council at its next meeting.

Sharpling, charged with assaulting 12-year-old Lena Mungerson, was sen- tenced to eixty days in jall by Judge Berka yesterday morning. The little girl testified that Sharpling met her on the street and after she had refused to accompany him out of the city he caught her by the band and tried to force her to consent te go with him. The girl sald that he held ber hand while walking a distance of half a block and refused to release her. Sharpling at the trial stated that he was an athelst and would not be sworn. He admitted t the girl's story was true in most parts, but that he walked with her and held her hand in order to protect her. “I wanted to give the girl a home,” sald, “and I see noth- iog wrong in that.” Judge Berks did.

He regretted it but could do nothing.

It was far better than my first trip last year. “Just to show what kind of a hit the Omaha team is making throughout the country I'll tell you that at Kansas City I was spproached by Bobby Quinn, man- ager of the Columbus American assoclation team. He asked me if I would bring the Omaha team Into the league if Indianapolis could be pushed out. I said ‘No, I would be mixed in no team with Hickey, Tebeau or Lennon either one.'" LIKE SHIP WITHOUT RUDDER S0 is the Train of Thought in Dreams, Says Dr. Hipple in Lecture. Before the Philosophical soclety Sunday Hipple read a paper the most in- prophetic visliops. On this branch of his subject he read as follows: “Occaslonally the mind during sleep will sleze upon what would be considered an impoesible cause during our waking hours, but which eubsequent events prove to be the real cause. Some of these dreams are very remarkable. Dr. Carpenter in his ex- cellent work on mental psychology says that upon an occasion the wife of General Sleepman of the British army in India begged her husband to move her tent, as she had been haunted all the preceding night by the sight of dead men. Her huse band moved the tent and, acting upon in- formation recelved later, ordered the ground where it had stood to be dug up, when fourteen corpses of murdereg persons were found buried there. This dream would be considered by many a super- natural revelation, but the probable ex- planation in reality is simple. No doubt there was an odor of decomposition in the tent, which Mrs Sleepman while awake bad attributed to some probable cause, if she had noticeG it at all. Ian her sleep, however, the mind became cognizant of the same odor and the memory was called upon to suggest a cause. Decomposing human bodies bappened to be recalled as furnish- ing such an odor and the imagination forth- with presented them to the mind in all thejr hideousness, making an impression which the woman, even after awakening, could not shake off. “Many of our dreams, however, cannot be traced to any bodily sensation and seem to bave their origin in a sort of automatic ac- tion of the mind. To this class belong those dreams which scem to be a contradiction of our waking thoughts, Most of our dreams are probably of this character, Some times the train of thought is taken up and car- ried on in a uniform and coherent order. At times, indeed, owing to the freedom from distraction, the reasoning processes show unusual vigor. The control of the will be- ing withdrawn, however, ttey are not likely to pursue any definite course and seldom reach a logical conclusion, It is as though the helmsman of an ocean stedmer were to leave the wheel and allow the ship to plow ahead without guldance. Under canditions of perfect tranquillity of wind and sea, and with an evenly balanced cargo the vessel might make definite progress, but it would be much more likely to pursue an errase course. So it is with our minds duriog sleep. “Occaslonally the mathematiclan ha solved In his dreams the problem which pus- zled him during the day. While reading a marvelous tale Coleridge fell asleep and dreamed a poem. When he awoke the lines were fresh in his mind, and he began to write. He was interrupted, however, for a time, and when be returned to his writing the rest of the poem had vanished, so that he was upable to reproduce it, and he therefore published the fragment known as the Kubla Khan."
