Mr. Francis astounded when he learned of this government land in that lo cality. “Think of 2,421 quarter ions of land lying open within less half a day of Omaha,” he said. “Think of what can | be done with such land o close to such a market as this. This proposition is really startling in its significance, both to Omaha as a commercial center and to that terri- tory as a money making proposition s Waits for Detalled Report. stai was Mr. Francis only waits for final detailed reports of the exact nature of this land before launching its settlement boom. He pow has experts going over the ground in the three countles, who will report to him soon on the exact character of the soil, so that he may know for what it may best be used. He has already taken many steps toward his final end. He has exact maps of the three counties, showing just how many acres in each township are open. The total figures are 385,180 acres. This information of almost half of three entire counties being open for settlement came to Mr. Francis accidentally a short time ago. He at once communicated with D. Clem Deaver, register of the land office at O'Neill, Neb., on the matter. Mr. Deaver verified the tale. Then Mr. Francis began work on his project to have the land taken up. ' Framels 1a Investigating. “Ot course, T don't want to raise a big nolse about this land till I know its exact character,” sald Mr. Francis, “but every- thing looks bright. The territory s in the same longitude as Hastings, and not far above that city., The general character- istics of soil in those countles, which I have collected from statistics in the last few days, show the land to be arable throughout. Beaver creek, Cedar creek, Calamus river and the North Loup river run through it with their tributarios, so there 1s much water. “Even it all the land is not good for agriculture we know now that it is all fine grazing ground, and what isn't farmed can be used for stock, a great thing with the South Omaha market so near. There i rich hay and grasses for both summer and winter range. “A great feature of this territory will be the ease of getting water. It Is a country * of flowing wells. Anywhere there you can get flowing water by sending down a pointed gas pipe elghteen feet or so. No windmills or pumps will be necessary.” Drives All Before It.

TALKS STREET CAR SERVICE General Manager Smith Explains Conditions on the Leavenworth Street Stub, Speaking in regard to the efforts of cer- tain residents on Leavenworth street to have through service of street cars over the Park avenue line and that part of Leavenworth street west of Twenty-ninth, Manager Smith of the company sald: At the present time the amount of bus- iness on the Leavenworth stub will not Justify increased expenditures, but this is not the principal reason that it would be impractical to give through service. It is possible that if the service was made bet- ter the people would come, but the condi- tion of the track along Leavenworth street, wost of Twenty-ninth, 1s such that it would be unwise to run one of the heavy cars over it. The wooden pavement has disap- peared from the street. We would be will- ing to improve the track 1t the street could be paved. If we place heavy ralls on the street now we will have the work to do agaln, practically, when the street Is paved.” The company is busy making preliminary errangements for work on the new power douse, and in a few days will have signed tontracts for the heavy machinery.

Comments Per- George C. Cockrell, city claim agent, threatens to ask the council to pass an or- forbidding the acceptance of any claim against the city unless such claim be made in words correctly used and correctly spelled. Yesterday he said, as he held up a typewritten document: “Now look at this, will you? Here is a man who is going to ‘hold the city liable in damages by reason of Its gross careles: ness,’ and he permits his stenographer or somebody to spell words and construct sentences in a way that would drive a man to drink. He writes that on January 17, 1903, as he was ‘turning the southest corner of Seventeenth and Jackson streets' he en- countered a ‘glair’ of slippery ice; that he slipped and fell and ‘struck a bunch of icey ashes beside of said walk and gutter stone’ He states also: ‘I injured myself internally and externally and broke and sprained my left arm and elbow and hurt and crushed my lower limbs and received such serious injuries that my physician and surgeon feels I will never be as well as formally.’ “How's tMat for grammatical comstruc- tion and lucid statement of facts? And how is the city to turn down a man who has suffered as he has? He is injured in- side and outside, he has shattered his arm until it must be a sight and he has crushed his lower limbs. That's awful.” cL WOMAN, Erroneously Thinks by Scouring Her Scalp that She Cures Dandruff. Cleanly woman has an erroneous idea that by scouring the scalp, which removes the dandruff scales, she 18 curing the dan- druff. She may wash her scalp every day, and yet have dandruff her life long, accom- panied by falling hair, too. The only way in the world to cure dandruff is to kill the dandruft germ, and there 1s no hair prepara- tion that will do that but Newbro's Herpi- cide. Herplicide, killing the dandruff germ, leaves the hair free to grow as healthy Nature intended. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. Kill the dandruff germ with Herpicide. HALF A MILLION CAR FARES Amount of Aga Injured Woman's Claim st the Street Rail- way Company. Ida M. Luther of Henderson, Ia., hegan suit yesterday against the Omaha Street Railway company for §26,000 personal dam- ages, alleging that through the careless- ness of the company’s émployes a car at Twenty-fourth and Spalding streets was started suddenly while she was in the act of alighting. She states in the petition that she was thrown to the ground, her spine, hips and head being so‘severely in- jured that paralysis of the lower limbs re- sulted, permanently injuring her. She asks judgment also for $760, alleged to have been expended by bere in medical treat- ment and expenses resulting from the in- Jury. Richard Dervin, as administrator of the estate of Hugh J. Deryin, has begun suit against the Union Pacific Rallroad com- pany for $5,000, alleging that Hugh Dervin was in the performance of his duties as switchman in the local yards when killed December 2, 1902, and that the 'emgine which -backed into him in the storm was handled with carelessness by the pany’s employes. Edwin R. Stevens is suing the Union Stock Yards company for $10,000 for in- jurles received when he leaped from a car December 26, 1902. He relates that he was & brakeman and that while on top of the car mentioned it turned over *‘suddenly and without any notice to him,” and that such accident was occasioned by the bad condition of the tracks in the company’s yards.

IT IS HOWELL AGAINST THE FIELD Councilmanic Candidates Bobbing Up S0 Namerously that They Are Bumping Against Enach Other in Many Wards, The race for the democratic mayoralty nomination proceeds merrily—just as it the prize was worth the winning. E. E Howell, James _P. Connolly and E. 8. Streeter are at the post with distinct colors and ambitidus jock and they promise to put up an exciting show. Some of the onlookers from the grand stand eay that Howell fs acting badly at the | post and may not get oft when the starter gives the word, but his trainers insist that he is fit and will not only start, but win, Streeter is a sort of independent racer, having only borrowed the colors of the Douglas County Democracy for this event. He has been entered in other political handicaps, but has always been left at the post. Connolly, who goes in this race with the backing of the boys of the Court House stable, is a two-time winner in the County Commissionership sweepstakes, and therefore considered a likely candidate, The County Democracy wanted to enter a brace of old favorites for this contest—Frank J. Burkley and W. 8. Poppleton—but & careful examination disclosed the fact that both were unwill- ing to go the distance. The braves of the Douglas County Democracy are not at all discouraged over their defeat at the meeting of the democratic city committee Saturday, for they contend that the Jacksonians took an unfair advaniage of them in arblirarilv voting in proxies held by Howell men and voting out provies in the hands of anti-Howellites. As an instance, they cite the fact that P. M. Tobin, who has lived in the Eighth ward for a yoar aud a half, was permitted to act s proxy for a Fourth ward member, althougn the ru'es of the committee restrict proxies to residents ot thelr own wards. The braves asecrt that the ease with which they secured proxies from Jacksonian members of the commit- tee indicates weakness in ths Howell mayoralty candidacy. The fact that proxies were turned down, they contend, is not as significant as the fact that they were secured. phe C. 0. Lobeck Is an interesting figure in the pending campaign, for the reason that he is now the holder of one public office, the contestant for another and a probable candidate for mayor, city comptroller or councilman. It is sald that the Fifth ward councilman is a little mére than willing to | get into the mayoralty scramble, and is only waiting for one side or the other to take him up. There was at one time a movement in the Douglas County Democracy | to make Lobeck a candidate for mayor, but a few of the leaders would not stand for him. Meanwhile, the Howell people under- | took to get the Fifth warder on their slate for comptroller in order to get him out of the way of the coal man. Lobeck, it is sald, still has the Howell offer under considera- tlon. To further complicate the Lobeck matter there are a number of Fifth ward democrats who want to remominate thelr present councilman. While the democratic mayoralty contest 18 evidently a three-cornered affair at this time, there are really only two sides to it— Howell and the anti-Howell. Connolly and Streeter are both out to beat Howell, and it the two of them succeed in electing a majority of the delegates to the conven- tion no difficulty will be met in bringing about a combination. It will require 58 votes to nominate, and Howell claims 20 from the Second ward, 15 from the Third, 15 from the Sixth and 9 from the Seventh, making just 59 in all, or one more than the necessary number. Streeter is sure of his ability to carry the Seventh, and he will have Connolly’s assistance in his effort. And then the hopeful Mr. Connolly says he will put a further crimp in the Howell caleulations by carrying the Third and splitting the Sixth. Connolly is aso count- ing on the First and Bighth wards solid and some delegates from other wards. He and Streeter are two of the buslest men in town just at present. Democratic councilmanie candidates are 50 thick In some of the wards that they are getting in each other's way. In the First ward are four—E. Stuht, former coun- cilman and independent water works mag- nate; John Fi saloon keeper; Andrew Frick, wholesale liquor dealer, and R. F. Williams, son-in-law of Councilman Ha: call. In the Second the Howell backers, who control this ward, ars keeping number of aspirants under cover. The Third ward presents Charles Schnauber, grocer; “Billy" Atkins, saloon keeper, and Jerry McMahon. W. J. Mount, former county commissioner, is mentioned as & probable candidate in the Fourth. Hobart Williams, insurance agent; Councilman Lo- beck and D. J. O'Brien, the candy man, are mentioned in the Fifth. The Seventh hay E. P. Berryman, hardware salesman, and Ed Walsh, insurance agent. There is a quartet in the Eighth—Charles Johnson, the present assessor; Tom Faulkner, Harry McVea and John Fitzpatrick. In the Ninth Churchill Parker and Robert F. Smith, who works for an implement house in Council Bluffs, are the candidates. Announcements of the Theaters.

HAVE BASIS FOR ACREEMENT Conductors and Trainmen Make Progress with Their General Demands. GOOD PROSPECT FOR INCREASE IN WAGES Three Gould Lines Take Action on the Proposition that Goes to Gen- eral Managers of Fifty- Twe Railroads. General commlittees of the Order of Rail- way Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in Omaha have finally received official verification of the mewspa- per reports thgt their brother committees that have been working with the general managers of the four Gould lines in St. Louls have come to a settlement. The offi- cial bulletin received from St. Louls yes terday morning was dated last Saturday, and contained full accounts of the doings there. According to the official information three of the four Gould lines have thus far They are the Missourl Pacific, the St. Louis & Texas roads. The the St. Louls & Southwestern closed its work yesterday. Thus the four lines that were agreed upon as the key for the West- ern Assoclation of General Committ of But this does not mean that the work of the remainder of the fifty-two gen- eral committees is over. As soon as the fourth line in St. Louls finlehes its business the other forty-eight start to work. They have then the basis for a settlement. What the Gould lines have granted every other line in the asso- ciation will be asked to grant, That means conferences between forty-elght general managers and general committees. The only thing for these committees to do will be to take the St. Louis schedulo of settlement and offer it as an ultimatum No one road may accept it till it has been granted all fifty-two. The Gould comum tees have not accepted it yet, and cannot till all the other lines secure It Conterences in Omaha, In Omaha there will be conferences be- tween general committees of the conduc- tors and trainmen of the Unlon Pacific and ot the Elkhorn with thelr general man- agers. The committee will ask for conference dates, and will then call in all thelr members for the times set by the general managers. During the period of the conference at 8t. Louls only the chair- man and secretary of each general com- mittee has remained in Omaha. Of the two concessions secured, the wage increase and the atandonmeut of double- headers, the conductors and trainmen re- gard the latter as of far more importance. “That double-header matter tickles us most,” sald one committeeman. “We like it because it puts a stop to our doing two men's work & day, snd also because it re- moves & great danger from us. Double- headers age a dang rous business all the way through, for ev.inemen and tralnmen alike. The new rule simply says that they dare not put two eng'nes on any train save one that ome engine can handle. They can put seven or eight on now, for all we care, for it won't increase the size of the traln. As it has been they would double the size of the train and stick twe engines on it That meant one conductor covering two trains. “The wage lncrease, 100, of 16 per cent reached a conclusion in their conferences. | & San Franciso and the Missouri, Kansas | general committee of | for freight service and 12 per cent for pas- senger service is highly satisfactory. Every road will get the same thing, or none will. The changes, whenever they February 1, as regards double-headers, from the date of adoption.” Cotton Belt Agrees. Also. ST. LOUIS, Féb. 9.—The agreement reached between the St. Louls South- western Raflway company (Cotton Belt) and its conductors and trainmen, in which the latter are granted a 15 per cent increase in wages, similar to that glven by the three other southwestern lines to their men, will be signed some time during the day, thus positively averting the strike that seemed imminent last week. The question of a { of the Wabash system, with other matters | of difference between employer and em- ! ployes will be taken up next Friday and definitely settled. Delay in this matter has been caused by the absence from St. Louis of several Wabash officials in authority. Don't be deluded into trying Europe: makes, when the best is American.
