At the ofllce of General Manager Hurt of the Klhliorn railway the rumor of the early extension of the Northwestern system from Fort Casper , Wyo. , to Ogden , was discredited as Improbable. Another Blkhorn ofllclal who refused to bo quoted by name , said : ' No material for the rumored extension has boon piled ur at Casper , as reported , but 1 am Inclined to bollavo that a movement of great Importance is being quietly manipu lated In railroad circles. Two or three weeks ngoTni : liKt : gavou hint of an Impending break In the alliance between the Northwest ern anil the Union Pacific. It was said that the latter had called In its traveling freight agents to headquarters and directed thorn to Instruct local station agents to quietly give the Milwaukee a share of tnclr cast bound business. While In Chicago ro- ccntly I learned enough to make mo think there was good foundation for TUB Bnis | story. At least I was convinced that the Union Pacific had begun a movement to di vert Homo of Its trafllo from the Northwest ern to the Milwaukee. Indirectly I have It from a Union Pacific station atjont In Ne braska that he hits been directed to quietly throw his Influence for the Milwaukee on business going cost of the Missouri river. To me f.Uo signs .indicate that Jay .Gould Is paving the way for a break from the Vundorbllts , who control the Northwestern. " 1 Imp pen to know that the Northwestern has placed an order for 40,0 < K ) tons of steel rail. That will lay a line 424 miles long. If you will take the map and mcasuro the dis tance in u utraight line from Casper to Ogden you will ilnd It to bo about U20 miles , so that 40,000 tons of rail are enough to lay a'lmo between those two points. It is also reported from Salt Lake City , Utah , that the Northwestern - western has secured u right of way to within two blocks of the union depot in that city. Of course If the Northwestern should bullJ to Ogden It will also have u line to Salt Lake , and it is hardly nrobablo that It would buy an expensive right of way through a city without , Intending to use It. " 1 cannot positively give the route of the proposed extension , but there has been u pro- ilmfnary survey and I know In a general way what that is. It runs in a southwesterly direction from Casper through the valley of the Platte , south of the Hattlesnalo moun tains ; thence by Hangis up the valley of the Sweotwator to the South pass , and thence In a southwesterly course to Ogdon. . "Thoro is a curious bit of history about Haneis , by tlTo way. It was proposed to establish a uastolllca at u ranch owned by a man named Slgnur. The Intention was to give it ills name , but ho strongly objected , and the matter was compromised by reversIng - Ing the order of the letters in tils name and mailing tbo costofllco Hangis. " Onilii Ittiio Mnnlpiihitloii. The expose of the manipulation of grain rates between Omaha and Baltimore started the rumor that the through tariff had boon reduced 3 cents a hundred and the agents of the freight lines bavo ha'd the ungratotul task of dissipating the hopes of local .ship pers and of trying to oxplaln how they were placed at a disadvantage by the naughty Ohio it Mississippi. "I Know that the discrimination is made on shipments by way of Boardstowh , 111. . " said ouo of the freight men. "but a man in our business can't always give away all that ho knows. The Burlington system is undoubtedly acting on the square , and the manipulation Is duo to Its eastern connection. Neither the Ohio & Mississippi nor the Baltimore & Ohio Is cutting the ruto opouly , but a favorite Baltimore Ilnn is getting a rebate Just the same. Its buyers nro thereby enabled to bid more for corn by 2 cents a bushel than other Omaha grain men can nfToid to pay. This matter was brought to tbo attention of Commissioner Dlanchard some time ago , but the dlftleultv Is to got evidence that will convict the ofTonillntr road. Mr. Blnnclmrd Instructed his Inspector : to bo on the alert , but the weighing an < l the billing are all ncht , and the manipulation is a very smooth bit of work. "Thoro Is one consolation about this matter - tor , and that is the fact that there Is a limit to the carrying capacity of the Ohio St Mis- Ms9lpplanil she has not boon able to do much east-bound business for some tuna except , that cut-rate grain traftlc. While It puts No- beasUn grain men at some disadvantage it is not so serious as though a big trunk line of enormous carrying capacity were in the deal. " Siihiirlmii I'limti'iiBtir SiTxIre , It was rumored yesterday that the Belt Uno was abqut to abalUu commutation tickets and charge full fare on Its suburban trains. The rumor was unfounded , and norms to have grown out of u movement to have the tram service Increased. Formorlv there wore Hvo suburban trains on the Bolt Line , two In the morning , one In the middle of the day and two In the evening , but now there aru only two. The residents of Druid Hill anil neighboring suburbs Blurted out this week with four petitions , the biibscribort to whlnh agrco to take u desig nated number of monthly tickets , fifty trips to the book if the old train service bo resumed. The movement was started wltlio-ut any suggestion from the railroad company. After the suburbanites huvomadoa thorough canvas of thnnisclvon they propose going to the Bolt line onloers , making a tender of the business pledged oa the subscription papers , and Insist on moro trains. Incidentally some ono 8Uggoted .that the Belt line bo asucd to Increase tbo fares to full rates except when commutation tickets were used. The purnoio of this was to force suburban residents to buy blocks of tlokeu , , but It Is said the suggestion will not be carried out. This Incident gave rise to the rumor fit a raise in the price of tickets. l rnrummU. George F MoNutt of tbo Missouri , Kansas ft Texas Is In the city.

It is suppose 1 to bo heated by a furnace , but there are open grates in nearly all the rooms which assist when they have any fire In them in the work of olovatlng the mercury. Tnero is ono room , however , where the open grate Is la use , and It Is unquestionably the coldest room In the building. It is the northoait corner room on the third lloor , occupied by the district court clerk. During the recent cold weather the tomporatura in that room has boon al together too low for any ono to endure with out sufToring , and yet no fire has boon put In the grato. Judge DunOy , Marshal Slaughter , Collector Alexander , Attorney Baker and other officials have bright and comforting fires blazing in" the open grates In their oflices whenever the weather Is the least bit frigid , but the Janitor says ho is afriilcl of bclncr reported if bo mattes a fire in the room occupied by the district court deputies.

Judge btonb3rg was the prime mover In the work of reform , lie offeree ] u resolution providing that hereafter nil grocer * receiv ing orders from the supsrlntoiidont of poor be compelled to submit to thu county cleric an itemized bill with the order. Major Paddock favored going farther than that , and moved to amend the resolution by having the superintendent of poor name in his orders the goods that the applicants should purchase. Mr. Berlin was glad tbo board had taken hold of the matter. Ho had worked for a year to accomplish such a plan , but had always mot with opposition. Judge Stonborg know of an Instance where ojiarty had received an order for $1.50 mid had expended half of the same for a tobacco f Ipo. Ho had no objection to helping work- ng , people , but did not propoto to buy them pipes or oilier luxuries. As amended , the resolution was adopted and In future every bill that finds its way b.ick to the county clerk will .show Just , what and bow much the partlos applying for aid resolved.

When the special order of business was reached , the clerk read a communication from the Real Estate Owners association , requestIng - Ing the cutting olT of a number of clerks , whoso total salaries amount to W,1SJ ( per annum. Mr. Berlin moved that the request bo granted. Major Paddock said the matter had bean disposed of some tlmo ago by the board ask ing for u report from the auditor , giving a list of county employes and their salaries. Tlio report , ho said , would bo ready In a few days , and for that reason ho wanted the matter - tor to lay over one week. in looking through his papers Major Pad dock discovered that ho had the report from the auditor. Ho moved that the \vliolo mat ter bo referred to the committee on 11 nance. Mr. Berlin Insisted that such action would bo illegal. The chairman thought not. There was a motion before the house , but that would not prevent the matter going over for one week. With that ruling the request of the Heal Es tate Owners association wont to the commit tee on finance. Thomas Kitchio was appointed Ju tico of the peace for Union nrcciuct and his bond approved.

To the Editor of Tun BIK : : Among civill/ed nations all the \vorld over the old Lutln motto "Do mortuls nil nisi bonum" Is respected , oven In the steeled hearts of newspaper editors , but now and then ono comes across such an individual man onecan scarcely call him as ttioeultorof the World-Herald , so devoid of ordinary decency and good feeling , of the ordinary traits of u gentleman , as to take a delight In raking up every scandal ho has hoard of or oin Invent against the memory of the iloail. Such Is the good taste of the World-Herald In announcing the death of Prince Victor , duke of Clarence , the late prince still lying on his deathbed while bereavement and loyal mourning fill hundreds of thousands , perhaps millions , of hearts. Fortunately the sphere of this rag Is very limited Indeed , and , therefore , the feelings of but few can bo hurt by Its coarseness. There are many naturalized and many not naturalized British subjects m this city who will thank you for the contrast you have shown In tba kindly and truly American manner In which you have announced this sad event. Wo have cast in our lots with this country and intend to servo her well and loyally , but , as no ono knows bettor than yourself , there Is In every man's hoarr. a tender spot tor the country that bore him ana a respect for Its Institutions , and it can not Put rouse the Indignation of Briton born , Briton descended and true American that that tender spot .should bo probed by the malicious and poisoned darts of such a con- tomptlblo apology for a newspaper as the World-Horuld. You have frequently silenced your bitter fee by your dignity and contempt. You now overwhelm him by your soasn or decency. The World-Herald has lost and you will gain many suoscrlbors , both American and British. Very respectfully , COMMON Dccuxcv.

I sent for Mr. Andrew Itosowator and bad n personal Intorvlowvwith him , and In vlow ot his recognized honesty , Integrity and activity I concluded that he would bo able to render the city moro effective services than Mr. Tlllsou. This waiftbo solo consideration that induced mo to recommend his appointment. "So far ns Dr.i Gapsn la concornol , I doilro no cantrovor'iy either with him personally oe1 through the press.

What Is moro , the services rendered by meat Inspectors and special officers has not been xvhnt it should bo. The moat Inspectors , by the require ments of the charter , nro placed under thodl- rortlon of the Board of Health , but I under stand that they have been carrying on their work In their own way without making any report to the Board of Health of their services or of the tlmo in which they are engaged In the perform ance of their duties. I am convinced that Dr. Seniors will co-oper.uo' with mo in some reforms which I desire to brine about. If I cannot secure bettor services for tbo noxtycor than have been rendered in the past your by the ofllclals connected with the Board of Health , for half the money oxpcna- ed , I will stand ready to resign my office as mayor of the cltv. * "With regard to the legal right of Dr. Qapen to hold the office , I express no opinion. The section of the charter to which ho refers in his letter , is ono that was Interpolated at the last legislature , and is out of Joint with alt tbo other section ! , of the charter rotating to appointments In mukinc the appointment of commissioner of hoaltb , l have merely compiled with my express duties ns defined bv Section 14.1 of the charter.

Charged That Thrrc nro too Many 1'rllls on the Gniln Inspection as at Present , Pructlcud lu Oiniilin Sonio J'er- tlmont Suggestions. For somo.tlmo the grain men have been In clined to take exceptions to the method of conducting the state grain inspection de partment ut Omaha on the ground that the greater the efforts they put forth to place it on a paying basis , the harder those at the bead of the department work to-spend the money and keep tbo department in debt. Grain men realize that this is tbo busy sea son in the grain business and that If tbo de partment Is not made to pay expenses now it will run hopelessly Into debt during the dull season. ' This foclmg.aniong the grain men was om- bodlody.ostc.rdayjn the following letter to the State Board uf'Tninsportatloa ; O.MUrXt Jan.15. Gonllomen : At a meeting of the tfraih''committeo of the Board of Trade of Omaha , the question of urain inspection , weighing and operating of these departments was discussed , and it was resolved that the present staff of inspectors und welghmastors was uncalled for , as they have nothing to do half the tlmo , and that the department is being operated at double the expense neces sary. , , Therefore , wo would respectfully re quest that you reduce the present staff to ono inspector and ono assistant , ono wuighmastor and one assistant. Up to 'the present tlmo the weighing and inspection department occupied separate ofllccs , the inspection department having throe rooms and the weighing department ono room with the furniture und lixtures tor same , when-all the business could have been conveniently bandied In ono room , and wo would suggest you take such action that will have a tendency to reduce expenses. Wo think that the chief Inspector should bo a competent man to inspect grain and look after details In person. It would have been a great saving to tno state had the chiefs of the departments done tbeir duty and op'eratod the departments on business principles , sugaoslions on our part as to cutting down the force would not have been necessary. \Vo would ask immediate action on this communication. * Jack Frost has a special mission in winter it's to chap up our hands and cheeks , and Jack Frost says he don't llko Hallor's Aus tralian salvo a bit , It cures the "little chaps" right up. _ _ , , MB. SAOKET WILL OBJECT. - - Hu Don't Llko the Action of tlui County CniumlHslnncrs. The way the job Is put up at this time , Oscar F , Steven ? Is to remain as clerk to the board of county commissioners. Stevens has strong democratic symptoms , which will as sist him m holding over and nelug popular with the democratic majority of the board. The plan is not to re-appoint him , but simply lot him stay. Tno commissioners bavo no authority for employing a clerk , as the statute is silent , upon the point. Such being tbo case they shield themselves behind a section of law , which they road r.s giving them authority to hire ull necessary help for the transaction of the county busi ness. Tbo county clerk Is supposed to bo the clerk to tba board , but In order to furnish employment to another man , the commission ers , or at least three of them have decided to continue Mr. Stevens in ofllco at a salary of $100 par month. They not only propose to do this , but they propose to make County Clerk Sackott , who by law is a clerk to the board , responsible for Mr. Stevens' ofhciul acts. acts.Ulght there Is where trouble will begin. Mr , Suckott has no objections to thu board having a clerk , but if ho Is to be responsible for the man's acts , ho proposes to have a word to say regarding the naming of thu man. _ Wanted Copies of tha KVKNixo Bun of October 10 nnd MOKNIXU Hni : of October ' 10.
