! & MISSOURI PACIFIC OFFICIALS COMING S Nearly All the Operating Heads to 4 Ba in Omaha Thursday to Look b Over Belt Line. TO CONSIDER DODGE STREET Practically all of the head officials | of the operating department of the Missouri Pacific will be in Omaha . this morning, coming from Kansas City during the forenoon on & epecial train, remaining here during the day | and returning in the evening. In the party there will be: Alexander Robinson, first vice president, in charge of operation; .| W. Higgins, general manager; J. R. Stephens, chief engineer; C. A. How,. general purchasing agent; Wi P (" Hopkins, supply agent, St. Louis; A. DeBernardi, general superintendent, Kansas City; J. F. Russ, superin- tendent, and J. R. Leighty, mainte- nance engineer, Falls City, Neb. Arriving here, the Missouri Pacific party will go to the Fontenelle for lunch, after which, piloted by A. R. Malcolm, assistant general freight agent, in auto- mobiles, the members, will go out to the company's Dodge street croasing, and thence go to thé Thirteenth and Locust street viaducts, under construction. Lopk Over Dodge Street. While it is not known just why Mis- wourl Pacific operating officials and en- gineers are visiting the city at this time, it is taken that it 1s for the purpose of Aooking the ground over and determining just what is to be dome in the way of improvements on Dodge street. At the o crossing there two plans have been under consideration, but neither has been de- cided 'upon. Ome contemplates building a viaduct over the tracks, wide enough for strest raliway and wagon traffic, ! and the other contemplates the elevation of the railroad tracks, leaving the road- way undisturbed underneath. It 1o asserled that while the matter has not been gone into thoroushly, the Missouri Pacific officials favor the eleva- tion of the tracks, though they are a lit- tle loth mbout putting as much money into the project as would be required. It ‘is ameserted that the elevation of the tracks would necessitate an elevation of all tracks from pretty nearly as far south as Leavenworth to Cass street on the north, with steel and concrete crossings provided for at all of the intersecting streets. No close #timates have been made on the expense of the elevated tracks, but a rough estimate places the expenditure at at least $1,000,00 and perhaps considerable more. G Juix NEW PROBATE RATE IS MADE| Law Passed by Legislature for Charges for Probating Estates Goes Into Effeot. INCREASES EXCESS OF FEES A law passed by the last legislature and effective now, establishing a flat rate for charges for probating estates in Nehraska will cost heirs to. estates of more than | 12,00 in Douglas county at least $10,000 & year, according to Clyde Sundblad, clerk ©f the county court, who has just re- ceived a copy of the mct “Under this measure the charge for| probating an estate worth $2001 will be| ti‘e same as one valued at $1,000,000 or any | sum,” sald Mr. Sundblad. “For instance, | under the old law the county recetved 1,000 fees for probate of a wealthy man's crtate and about $30 from the average ! amall estate in excess of §200. But under the new law each will pay the same, about $55, including the flat rate charges ard additional fees. - “Where In the past this office has shown a net excess of fees of from: $4,000 | 10 35,000 & year, the new law will double | or treble this amount. The additional revenue will be paid by Increased cost to | heirs of men ‘and women in moderate cfr- cumetances.” The rate ns now established places all| estates in three classes, which with the charges to be paid by them follow 31,000 or less... A 81,000 to $2,000 BEORY DT LIS, .1 11 overinsreraseinss arges apply to gross valuations | no reduction being made for | debts which are paid. Fees in addition’| to the flat rate charge are also provided, Each small -state of more than §2,00 must pay about 325 more under the new law than under the old. In the event tha deceased owned only 8 homestead, eliminating necessity of pro- . bate proceedings, the new law provides | far a fee of $10, which is three times the charge formerly paid, Other Increases follow: Guardianship and trustee mat- ters, $6.25 to 8, with increase of annual fee from G0 cents to $1.50.

Aprfl t Month of Co JAMES’ “INTELLECK” IS NbT UP TO THE NAVY STANDARD James Montgomery presented himself at the local navy recruiting office and made the fact known that he desired to qualify to wear a blue jacket and a pair of them there inverted-funnel pants. rFom the physical standpoint James was fourid to be all right. But his intel- leck, as Mr. Dingbat would say—ah, his intelleckes | g Yeoman High read him the fol- 1gwin; ntence: pe V:A a ‘was walking through the park, Wheghe looked up in a big tree and saw *o hanging from a limb. His hair stood' on cnd, he uttered .a shriek of terror and rushed to the nearest police station; What was it that he saw hang- ing from the limb?" ’ James Montgomery thought deeply for & moment and then repliedr “A squirrel.” The navy will struggle along without the services of James Montgomery.

Ryder Opens Upa Publicity Bureau in His Own Behalf Commissioner Ryder has opened his own publicity bureau with a statement taking exceptions to some of his feliow commissioners on the electric light rate ordinance. Mr. Ryder contends that the matter should be gome into thor oughly, rather than rushed just to make political capital. In conclusion he saya: ‘I presume at this time my best bet would be wild ballyhoo that T am ‘agin’ the corporations and all moneyed inter- esta, since they all appear to be against me. But as 1 view my duty In the coun- ofl it s to endeavor to hold the balance even without fear or favor, sinoe the council is both judge and jury In its own sphere. Certainty of defeat or election would not swerve me from that belief, Every wind that blows may turn weather vanes, but men who have seen storms of scntiment come and go could not be mere straws In the wind. Evén though for a recond time made a ‘political orphan,’' I can yet stand where a counciiman can stand—for fair treatment of every ques- tion, casting a vote based upon knowl- edge.” P. ).
