WANTS ; A CORNER ON HEALTH ,
The Allegdd 'Object ' of Mr. Jay Gould's '
Western Trip ,
HE KNOWS NOTHING OF RAILWAY MATTERS
VlHltof tlio Magnate and a Party of
KrlciulH to Omaha Will In-
sjieot the Kiitlrc Union I'a- '
ulllu KyHtein.
Mr. Jay Gould and party arrived In Omaha
at It :80 : o'clock yesterday morning In the Wiz
ard's ' sneclal car Atlanta , and proceeded west
on the main line of the Union Pacific at 'J p.
in. , In a special train.
The party consisted of Mr. Gould , Mr. S.
II. II. Chu-k , Dr. Munn , Mr. Gould's medical
advisor , nnd the younger members of Mr.
Gould's family , namely , the Misses Helen
nnd Annlo Gould. Mr. Howard and Master
Frank. Mr. Boyd of Now YorK , a friend of
Howard Gould , was also with thu party.
A representative of TUB Br.B mot the party
at the Rock Island depot In Council Blults ,
Mr. Gould's ' car being attached to the regular
Rook Island train which reached Council
Bluffs at I00a. : ! ! m. Mr. Gould was In the
observation room of his car and looked some
what careworn. To Tin : BP.I : man ho stated
that ho had como west In search of cool
weather and a change of nir and scone. Ho
said ho had not been feeling as well us usual
of late and his present trip was in the nature
of a pleasure jaunt , although ho should de
vote snmo tlmo to inspecting the Union I'a-
clllo system. Mr. Gould stated that ho had
not de'cldcd Just where ho should go or how
long ho should remain In tills section , but for
the present ho was going to n cool piaco in
the mountains and seek to bo reinvigoratod.
AnolTort Is bolnt' tnado to elicit Informa
tion from Mr. Gould concerning matters in
the railroad world but , with his customary
wariness , ho eluded nil attempts In .that di
rection and returned only evasive answers.
The subject of joint agencies , u pet project
of Mr. Gould , was broached nnd ho was
asked if It was still the Intention to push the
establishment of such agencies in the larger
cities.
"There is no use pushing that matter as long
as all the roads are not In the association1
replied Mr. Gould , "when the prooor time
comes the mutter will ho pushed as far as It
is deemed expedient. "
"Is it a fact that the action of the Western
Passenger association towards the Alton Is
for the purpose of-whlpping that road in the
Western Tralllc association I" was the next
question.
"I don't know anything about that , " re
plied Mr. Gould shortly.
"Is It trno that several of the roads in the
Western Trafllc association will ask that ex-
Tradlc Manager Leeds of the Missouri Pa-
cille bo reinstated i"
"I don't know anything about what the
other roads intend to do. "
"Is Mr. Leeds going to bo reinstated i"
"I don't know. "
"How long is the freight rate war iu the
southern territory to bo continued I"
"How nro your crops in Nebraska ? " re-
'plied Mr. Goul'd blandly.
Ho was lit formed of the excellent condition
of the crops and was then asked if it was
true , ns reported , that the Vanderbills had
bought the Delaware it Hudson.
"Did the heavy ruins injure the corn to
uny considerable extent ! " was all the in
formation obtained in that direction.
When the train reached the transfer
grounds in the BlulTs Mr. Gould alighted
from the car , accompanied by Mr. Clark , and
walked down the platform , They were mot
by P. ,1. Nichols , superintendent of the Ne
braska division of the Union Pacific , and the
three at once entered into consultation on
the general condition of the road in this sec
tion and the result of the recent heavy rains.
fn the meantime the other members of the
party had also alighted and amused them
selves by strolling about the depot whllo
their car was switched about to the bridge
track.
The entire party were the objects of great
interest on the part of thocmployes about the
depot and sojourning travelers. When the
young ladles patronized an itinerant phonograph
graph man the crowd stood about in open
mouthed wonder to sco how the machine af-
Icctcd them.
When the car had been put in position the
party wns whisked rapidly across the bnugo
\p the beautiful now union depot that doesn't
stand ns'u monument to the enterprise und
generosity of the Union Pacilio company.
Tronic , Manager Mellon and Mr. Tom Orr ,
chief clerk of Assistant General Mannccr
DlcKinson , mot the party on this side and
Mr. Gould entered at once Into : ouversation
with Mr. Mellon on the subject of tmfllc.
Mr. Motion's report On the prospect wns very
cncouriiglni ; and expressed gratification at
the situation.
A carriage was summoned which the Misses
Gould , Messrs. Howard nnd FranK Gould
nnd Mr. Boyd entered and were driven di
rect 10 TUP RISK building , from the roof of
which they enjoyed nn excellent bird's eye
view of the city , after which they made a
tour of the quarters of Tins BKC and mani
fested a great intcres in the various opera
tions necessary in the issuing of a newspaper.
They were then driven to the various points
of interest about the city , returning to their
car in time for lunch.
In the meantime Mr. Gould nnd Mr. Clark
passed the tlmo In Mr. Clark's private car ,
which was standing on a sidetrack. After
Mr. Gould's ' car had been arranged a special
train was' made ui ) , consisting of a baggage
car , Mr. Gould's car and Mr. Clark's car , and
ntii o'clock the train started on its way west
over the Union Pacific main lino.
At Grand Island the party will bo mot by
Assistant Gonnral Manager Dickliison , who
loft Cheyenne Wednesday for that purpose. A
trip will then bo made over the lines of the
Unlor. Paellio for thu purpose of inspecting

Adam ForcpajiKh's Great Shows in
Omaha Totlay.
The Adam Foropauph shows will oxTiiblt
at Twentieth and Paul streets today. The
waterproof canvas will cover several blocks.
They are said to bo the largest ever erected
in this city. The hippodrome tent has
seating capacity for ton thousand persons.
Mr. J. E. Cooper , who purchased the shows
after the death of Adam T'orepaugh , has
made many improvements in the orgatiiza-
tion. From the press reports of other cities
it is evident that the show is not only giving
satisfaction so far ns its entertainment is
concerned , but also for the care and comfort
which is extended to the patrons of the
show. Ho exacts from his employes polite
ness towards all visitors. At no
time will moro tickets r-o sold than
can ho comfortably accommodated within
the canvas. Mr , Cooper has the reputation
of keeping faith with the public. Ho was
formerly head of the llrm of cooper & Bailey
nnd was for many ' years a partner of the late
P. T. Barnuin.
The street parade will bo well worth
seeing. It will leave the show grounds at
about 10 o'clock , passing over the following
route : From Twentieth and Paul streets to
Eighteenth street , to Cumings strost , to
Seventeenth street , to Capitol nvonuo , to
Sixteenth street , to Dodge street , to Fif
teenth street , to Douglas street , to Eleventh
street , to Furnatu street , to Fifteenth street ,
to Dourlas street , to Sixteenth street , to
Cumings street , to exhibition grounds.
The evils resulting from habitual costiveness -
ness are many and serious ; but the use of

all others , especially for family uso.

CHECKMATING THE SHARKS ,

the Government.
THE BEE'S ' GREAT BUREAU OF CLAIMS ,
It noIrlcnilN Settlers , Patciitccn ,
Widows , Orphans and Soldlura
and Is Commentli tl by tlio
Anlliorlty.
Mtn who have hml claims ngn InDt the pov
crnmoiit uml employed professional ngonls to
represent tlioin baforo the dcD.irtuionts In
Washington , tell stnuigo storloa of triclts
ntul rascality to which they wore subjected
nt the hands of these merciless creatures.
Thcro are of course , some honest men araonc
these agents ; but there nro so many thai are
notoriously corrupt , that It Is almost Im
possible for a claimant , unless he bo direct
ed by a well-informed Individual , to flnd ono
In whom ho can place Implicit conlldnnco.
THE HUB has received hundreds of com
plaints from soldiers and other.vtio had
advanced money whan so dosirad and who
watted for years and yet fulled to recolvo any
Information ns regards what the sharks had
done with either money or claim.
Tiir. Br.chas also been requnjtcd to recom
mend reliable agents and has , In thU way ,
served to protect the pcoplo from fraud and
robbery. But that did no good to tbo people
who had fallen Into the hands of sharks. A.S
rapidly as the latter were shown up , now
ones with new tricks and rascality took their
places.
Thcro was but ono moans loft and that waste
to establish n great bureau of claims. This
Idea was suggested to u number of people but
was put into practice first by the San Fran
cisco Examiner ,
With the Kxamlncr , Tin : U".Khas cooperated
ted In the great work of affording relief to
worthy claimants.
The Washington correspondent of the B-c
ntniner , Mr. John \VudUurburn , who IMS also
acted as orlvuto secretary to Senator Hearst ,
was detailed to orcnmzo'nml take charge of
the bureau. His long service in Washington
In both these capacities had given him a largo
acquaintances with government ofllclnls and
government methods. Knowing the men
and the proper procedure to follow , ho was
chosen as well qualitlcd to pusli claims
through In the shortest time if they were
justly due.
The best lawyers to be had were then cm-
gaced and a full clerical force put into tlio
bureau. In every instance the men were
chosen for their knowledge of the work to bo
dono.
Congress was not losj anxious to protect
claimants from robbery. The same kind of
complaints nad come to Tin : BKI ; and gonn to
the members of congress as well. The com
mittees that had the Indian depredations bill
under consideration investigated the opera
tions of the claim agents and attorneys in
connection with the Indian depredations
claims. They found that the claim nsents
dad demanded 3 % to fiO per cnnt from the
men holding the claims , and in hundreds of
cases held contracts at these ligures. While
the bill was still in congress , with llttlo ap
parent chance of passage , they were able , by
methods dangerously near the line of fulso
pretenses , to Induce the claimants to sign the
exorbitant demands.
There appeared to bo only ono way to pro-
tecttho claimants. That was to cancel all
contracts by law and limit the fees that at
torneys might collect. The claimants would
thus be enabled to choose another agent if
the one they had first engaged had attempted
to defraud them , and tno contracts could not
demand more than the specified rate.
The ninth section of the bill wns thus
drawn to annul "all sales , transfers or as
signments of claims" and "all contracts here
tofore made. " The maximum fee to bo al
lowed was put at 15 per cent of the amount
collected except In case of claims under $ . > OJ
or where unusual work had to bo done , when
'JO per cent might bo allowed.
The amount of business received imme
diately after the opening of the bureau is n
proof of the confidence in which the people
hold it and of the distrust which the ordi
nary claim agent has aroused. In the six
weeks , from April 1 to May 15 , claims to the
amount of ft'JU54I.O.iJ ! ! ) were filed with the
bureau on account of Indian depredation
claims alone. All these go to the court of
claims under the act and are in various
stages of preparation and prosecution. Bu-
Mdes the claims unner the Indian depreda
tion act there had been filed at that date
treasury claims to the amount of $ J3.'JUM ! ;
French spoliation claims to the amount of
$ -2i > r > ,8S3 ; land claims , $2SU,350 ; and patent
and other claims to it largo amount. Since
that date some ? J,000,000 of claims hnvo been
Hied with the bureau , and it is now attending
ovorr > ,000,000of claims.
The need for the bureau may well bo seen
by the facMhatit now has on hand more
claims than all of the claim attorneys of
Washington combined ,
The efforts of congress and the establish
ment of the bureau was not appreciated by
the claim agents. They wanted to continue
to thrive in their business of fleecing the
needy claimant. They accordingly denounced
the u'ovcrnmontand the bureau. They hold
that the former could not cancel the'contracts
they hud made with their victims. But the
cancellation was made in the interest and
name of the people. And it need not bo
doubted that the eminent constitutional law-
years who framoc1 the act in question did not
do so without knowing what they were
doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly
had an effect upon some men who desired to
make no\v contracts and seouroitho services
of some other attorney , but this effect will
soon bo destroyed and the emancipation of
the claimant from the tyranny of the shark
will bo complete.
The amount of money that will bo saved to
the people by this work of THE BKK BUUIJAU
or GiAiMs.may not bo calculated. It will cer
tainly ho very great. The work will bo done
ns near actual cost as possible. Some of it
will not cost more than 5 per cent , whllo
much of it can be done within the 15 and " 0
per cent allowed by law. In some cases tuq
M per cent mwy be required. It is the inten
tion , however , to give the claimant the bene
fit of the lowest charges that will cover the
expenses of the service.
Tun BKI : TJfiiHAU will prosecute claims In
the supreme court of the United States , the
court of claims , thosovoral courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia , before the committees of
congress and the executive departments. It
will secure the payment ot Just Indian dcnre-
imtlon claims , land claims , pension claims ,
mining pre-emption and homestead cases and
obtain patents at minimum cost and the
greatest despatch. * '
There nro thousands yet who nro entitled
to pensions. These should write immedi
ately to the bureau. There are thousands of
heirs , widows , minor children , dependent
inotuora , fathers and minor dependents ,
brothers and sisters who are entitled to pen
sions nnd should write to Tin : BKI : bureau
concerning them , Under recent legislation a
liberal Increase in pensions ha * been allowed
and those who nro entitled to this should
write to Tin ; BKI : Bureau Claim association.
All loiters will bo promptly aimvurtnl and
all Information concerning form of applica
tions for cluims , terms , cto , will bo given

will ho answered unless the sender encloses
requisite stamps for reply. No Information

The eyes of the theatrical world will bo
llxed on Omaha , Saturday evening , when
"Tuxedo" will have its premier presenta
tion nt the Grand opera house. Such an im
portant now departure as the alliance of a
minstrel company with a favco comedy com
pany , never before attempted , could not fall
to attract the attention of nil people everv
where prominent in theatrical affairs.
It is all the moro noticeable when
the minstrel company is George
Thatcher's and the farce comedy company
is Rich & Harris' . Both branches of the or
ganization moan perfection in each , and the
boat that money can secure for doth. The
effect of tbo performance in Lincoln last
evening and in Sioux City this evening will
be that of securing two public rehearsals of
the procrammo. which , following the private
dross rehearsal here on Tuesday evening ,
will reveal the weak points nnd cause their
removal before Urn r piece is presented iu [
Omaha on Saturday and Sun
day evenings. Great local in
terest attaches to the opening on Saturday
evening. The advance sale began yesterday
mid iho demand was steady and continuous
all day. It will no douot bo the same for
today and tomorrow , nnd it is almost certain
that the house will be entirely sold out before
the curtain rises on'"Tuxedo. " There will
bo no matinee pcrfomranco cither on Satur
day or Sunday. Only the evening perform
ances will bo given.

William .MuFlnrlimd's Funeral.
The funeral of William McFnrland , the

horse , took place af3 o'clock yesterday from
M , O. Maul's undertaking establishment.
The service "was conducted by Rev. J. W.
Harris and was attended by a largo number
of friends of tbo deceased. A handsome
wreath of white roses rested on top of the
casket , having been contributed by the
proprietors of the Pax ton. Tbo pall
bearers were Buck Keith , .rtlox Russell.
Charles Hagertv , Louis IComisky , Clint Do
Mnus and Al Jones. The remains were in
terred in Laurel Hill cemetery , being fol
lowed thither by a long line of carriages con
taining friends of the dead man. Immedi
ately behind the hearse was the coupe for
merly driven by MoFarland nnd drawn by
tbo horse which caused his death. Both

A OrnliryiiiK ComimrlRon.
Of nil stock marts In the United Stntca
South Omaha makes the best showing for
the year up to the present tlmo. From Janu
ary 1 , 1800 , to July ft ! , the receipts of cattle
were ! 2ftOU , , as compared with it'J-iril ) during
tbo corresponding period of last year ; a loss
of 07,5:17. : The receipts of hogs were 8K3nS5 ! ,
ns compared with 7W,5S't ; ; n gain of tfi',403.
The receipts of shcop were 70.111. " ) , as com
pared with t ) . ' , 700 ; again of 405. And the
receipts of horses and mules were 'JiX ! ( ) , as
compared with 2,0'j ' ; ) , n gain of SOT. The
total receipts at the yards of stock were
1,211-150 , ns compared with 1,1BSS'J7 , a gain
of 85KSi. ( or 7.W per cent.
In the hog packing Industry the Magic City
does not make quite us fnvorahlo n showing
as it does in receipts of stock ; nevertheless
Its pcrccntngo Is not only above the uvorago ,
but Is much better than any of the other
great packing ccntirs. The total slaughter
ing of hogs for the season has boon -I'JOOUOO
us compared with 5-110,000 for the corresponding
spending season last vour , a fnllln ? of t.'JIO-
000 or ii'.7'J par cent. Chicago declined from
l.bOJ.OOO to 1 , W : > ,000 , n falling off of JKCi.OOO Or
18.01 per cent. Kansas City declined from
8.'ll,000 to n.V,000 ) , n fnlitnff oT : of ' , ' 81-
000 or 3I.O.-I per cent. South Omaha
declined from MW.DOO toI IH.OOO , a falling off
ofr > 0,000or 11.75 nor cent. South Omaha's
percentage of decline is little moro than half
that of Chicago and less than ono-thlrd that
of Kansas City.
The cause of the falling oft in packing Is
because of a scarcity of good hogs in iho east
nnd that n better quality of f nicy hogs can
ho procured for select orders at this market
than elsewhere , and ns n result eastern fro.sh
meat buyers have been taking nil the best
hogs at prices above what packing house
products would warrant packer * In paying.
