THE BEE OMAHA, SATURDAY, \0\ KM A QUESTIONofFAITH PIANO BUYING A MATTER OF CONFIDENCE IN THE HOUSE THAT BUILDS AND THE HOUSE THAT SELLS W e D Absolute conviction, born of experience is the guiding power of but a small percentage of pi- ano buyers, The balance must determine their choice through the con- fidence in the house they deal with and faith in the integrity and wis- dom of the makers of some one piano. Such confidence can not be won ina day. Time alone demon- strates the musical value of a piano or the honor of a business house.

While this is the situation up to date, @verything is In shape for the addition of Thes & large amount of new mileage next year. | The Milwaukee road has probably put in more cunbtruction work in the state than has any of the other lines operating within | its borders. The road has rushed work on Iines west of the Missourt river in terri- tory which is to be opened to settlement the first of next April, and Is now In shape where it can quickly get lines oper- ating for the handling of the pew settlers 88 they come along Bext year. Grading is practically done on the line from Mo- bridge out into the Thunder Butte section of_the reserve, leaving the bridging and rall laying yet to be done. On the Fox Ridge lne south of the Moreau river grading s under way and the line will probably be in the same state of readi- nesy for active work before winter sets in The Northwestern road, while it has been fully as active as the Milwaukee In preliminary to any such extent as has the rival com- pany. Grading outfits are vet at work on the line connecting the Plerre line with the | one which now terminates at Gettysburg and the grading will probably be completed | on that lne before work fs stopped for | the winter. The rond alwe is grading on| the extension from Belle Fourche out into | the section to be covered by the govern- ment irrlgation project east of that place Engineers Are Busy. Beyond this work, the road's aectivities appear to have been confived to the engi- neering forces, and to gettiug in shape for an’\eec!ive campaign next year., The sur- Wobituol Constipation May be permanenly overcome by proper personal efforts wilhe as. swanee of Wie one truly beneficial \axalive vemedy, Syrupoffigsak e d Seamahich engbles onets frm regular h\\y sohal assislange o nature way be Ay dispensed with when o Longer needed. as the best of mflfin requived are Yo assist nalurg,and ol Yo supplant the naural fancions w\w;\u"\:\\\‘&\)d W moldly qn proper nowrishment, Vg gmarclly. at ait- | work, has not pushed §-ading | vey from Hitchcock, on the line north from Huron, to Onida in Sully county is pratically compleied, as is the line run- ning abouy half way between the line from Huton to this elty, and the Gettysburg extension, connedting with the line from Blunt to-Gettysburg at Onida, The survey trom Iroquois to Doland Is completed, which will give the Northwestern a ling up through the state nast of the Jim river valley. The road has also been active west of the Missouri, pushing engineering corps out east from Belle Fourche into | the country near White Owl.

The Minneapolis & St. Louls road, whilp doing some survey work west of the Mis- souri, along the Fox Ridge countwy, the last summer, was lagging up to the time the Hawley Interests secured complete con- trol. Since that time it has shown greater | | activity, and is stacking up material for a | bridge at Le Beau, on what is alleged to hw a future coast extension of that system. It has also filed with the State Railway commission a plat of an extension from Aterdeen to Plerre, along the line of the |old grade, put in years ago by Hughes | county, The road has an option on this grade until the 1st of next July, and it will | | be given as a donation, in case the road! | uses the line by that time.

Moreover, the month of July, being in the middle of the Ar- gentine winter, is certain to make the | vistt to Buenos Ayres more agreeable to the delegates from the north, The governing board of the bureau of American republics already has dispatched to every South and Central American cap- ital & tentative program of the subjects to be considered by (heconference and.the various foreign offices have been at work {upon this with the purpose of submitting objections or suggesting amendments. Much progress has been made and It Is hoped that It soon will be possible to promulgate program, which, according to Indieations, will not vary consid- crably from that prepared by the board of governors. Compulsary Arbitration. The three preceding conferences have moved along the lines of least resistance; that is to say, the delegates have adopted as basic principles such propositions as have secured the easy adhesion of the great majority, but no effort was made to coerce the minority of the states into acceptance of rules which, at first presen- tation, were obnoxious to them. Instead, when these were of real importance, ihey were thoroughly debated and then re- manded for further consideration at the nemt conference. In this way the confer- ences have been made educational, and ex- perience has shown that a sound proposi- tion is almost certain to secure adhesion S0 it happens that the tentative pro- {to get Into that county, have organized & | company to construct the Missourl River | & Northern road from Platte north through | Butfalo county, but that has never shown | |mu Indications of getting beyond the or- }:uulullun stage as yet | Taken altogether, the situation is favor- able for & lot of raliroad bullding in South | \leflll in 1910, with everything Indicating ‘l greater incrcase in mileage for the state | that year than for any year since state- | hood | |ST.

As CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Investigation into alfegations that the city of Chicago had pald 545,00 to a contractor for excavation of shale rock fn the Lawreng€ avenue sewer, which should have been paid for as excavation of olay Instead, was undertaken In detail today by the Merrlam commis- slon, which was appointed to Inquire into municlpal expenditures. The charges led to a surprising develop- ment yesterday, when Assistant City En- gineer R. A. Bonnell, who had charge of the questioned excavations, sald that his records had been stolen from his home a few nights ago. Bonnell appeared before the commission today and Insisted that he had been glven permission by city officlals to take the records to his home for safe keeping after charges concerning the work had been made. City officials, including Commissioner of Public Works John Hanberg, his assistant, Paul Redleske, and City Engineer Ericson, were questioned by the coinmission by Spe- clal Attorney Walter L. Fisher. Investiga- |tion not yet concluded brought admissions | of unbusinessilke methods used in keeplug track of municipal contracts. It also developed that the city councll had, in paying the money on the contract in question, permitted the statutory re- serve on municipal contracts to fall below the legal limit.

FORT MACKENZIE WILL GET CHANGE IN ITS REGIMENTS Eighteenth Succeeds the Nineteenth at the Army Station in Wyoming. Headquarters and the Second and Third battalions of the Righteenth infantry are expected to arrive within a day or two at Fort Mackenzie, Wyo., to take permanent station. The regiment has just arrived at San Franclsco ‘rom the Philippines. The Third battalion of the Nineteenth infantry now stationed at Fort Mackenzle will depart for San Francisco immediately on the arrival of the Eighteenth, and will sall for the Philippines on December b. A colncidence will be noticed in the as- signment of the Eighteenth infantry to Fort Mackenzie, in that the section of the territory where Fort Sheridan is located was~ the scene of the campalgns of the Eighteenth infantry against the Sloux Indians in the Indian wars of 1865-9. Only two miles from Sheridan a battalion of the Bighteenth Infantry was massacred by Red Cloud and his band of Indians in December, 1566, In what Is known as the Fetterman massacre.
