The Union Pacific is interested in the suit In that the government charges that since 1883 the Central Pacific has dis criminated against the Union Pacific ir the matter of rates, wherever possible routing business by way ot New Orleans instead of through the Ogden gateway, the shorter route In another respect the Union Pacific officials feel a deep Interest In the suit thelr position being that in the event a complete seggregation of the Central and Southern Pacific roads is ordered by the DECEMBER | o NS DANCE RECORDS ; Them We have the most complete line of Records anywhere in the West, with facili- ties for giving you the best service. ¥/ We invite you to visit our Record De- L partment and hear your favorite selections, or phone your order to Douglas 1623, Headquarters for Aeolian Vocalions, Victor Victrolas PUBLIC SHOULD BE |Omaha Men Return | to handle a prisoner alone. |court, the company they represent will Prisoner an Athlete. | be glven the first opportunity to buy in and Columbia Grafonolas. Explaining his previous ability to handle his men, the sergeant said: I worked three years in a local beer garden where Leer was sold eighteen to twenty hours a day, but in this case the prisoner was a young athlete, and even carried cards showing he belonged to an athletic asso- ciation. He threatened to kill me and Goss, and put his hand to his hip as if he might have had a gun.” The evidence in the case convinced the commissioners that the sergeant and pa- trolman were engaged with an unusbally cbstreperous man and were justified in using extreme measures. Harrington informed the city clerk over 1he telephone he would not appear against the officers unless he was compelled to. “‘Guess he thinks he had what was com- ing to him,” remarked the mayor when Harrington's message was received. Goss admitted striking Harrington twice on the head with a blackjack, the wounds Leing superficial. Other Cases Next Week. George J. Emery and W. G. Nichols of the police department were summoned Lefore the city council on charges filed Ly Chiet Dunn, charging neglect of pay- ment of debts. Both cases were referred to the superintendent of the police for recommendation to be submitted to the council next Tuesday morning. During the hearing Chief Dunn ex- pressed the opinion that a policeman re- ceiving $100 every month should be able to keep out of debt, harring unusual mis- fortune.

Munn, heavy railroad stockholder of New York, at the University club, where he was the honor guest at a luncheon of local railway officials. “People are just how very beginning essential the railroads are. | Without them, Omaha would still be a | little frontler trading post, instead of the | | | | to realize | marvelously developed and important city T am amazed at the progress shown by this city, and everybody ad- mits that it could not have occurred without the railroads. | Question of Comcern. “Rallroads, instead of war, form the | greatest question before the American | public today. Railroad securities com- | prise the majority of the assets of most of the great fiduclary institutions, so un- less the railroads are treated fairly and prosper, the financial institutions will experience a serious slump.” Dr. Munn, who was formerly the Inti- mate friend and private physician of Jay Gould, Russell Sage and Cornelius Vanderbult, is chairman of the rallroad department of the international commit- tee of the Young Men's Christian associa- | tion.

The wheat market, | with 143 carloads on sale, opened strong and commenced to climb as the offerings were made, continuing without a break. Wheat sold all the way from 94 cents to $1.03 per bushel. The top was the highest of any time within the last three months. While local dealers will not venture a | positive opinion as to the future, they are inclined to look for higher wheat from now on. They learn that a fleet of the largest vessels have arranged to sail from gulf ports, carrying grain to Burope, and that the prospects are decidedly favor- able for exportation. Corn was in sypmathy with wheat, and while the advance was not so great, prices went up 1 cent to 1% Old corn sold at 62 and 69 and new at 62 and & cents per bushel. Receipts were thirty- seven carloads, Oats mgde an advance of % to % cent and sold at 28 and 39 cents per bushel, the high price since early last fall. There were twenty-five carloads on the market. | HUTCHINSON WILL CLOSE EXPOSITION SATURDAY | Sam Hutchinson, tourist agent for the Union Pacific and Northwestern, went | west from Omaha Wednesday night to| San Francisco, where Saturday night at| midnight he will lock the exposition gates and declare the show closed.
