Hnllroticl circles arc prcntly perturbed by
the recent action of the Union 1'aciflc
Jn refusing to InterchatiRO one-way
passenger 'business with tbc Hock Island ,
the Atclilson end Hurltngtoti. This action
on tlio part ot tlio Union Pacific furnishes n
subject for conversation In every railway
ofilco In tlio country.
Both sides ar loaded with facts nnd lip-
nrcs allowing that the other sklu is getting
the worst of the contest , but the ono fact
patent to all is that it Is costing much more
to obtain business under the present plan
than before the trouble began. Higher com
missions arc being paid nnd rates' are b lng
cut on the quiet which , of course , has n ten
dency to demorall/o business and the out
come Is being watched with feverish anxiety
by those directly Interested.
It is really the harvest of the coupon
agent nnd ho is cutting his liny while the
sunshines.
The assertion of n Chicago paper that Jay
Gould's "last ofliclal act was to approve the
subsequent noticeof the Union Pacific ro-
fuslng to Intcrchango one-way passenger
business , except at Kort Worth and the
Missouri" afforded the officials at head
quarters a good deal of quiet fun.
Out r > f Mr. ( iollhl'H l.llir.
When ono remembers that Air. Gould
was never bothered with the dry dotall of
business such as this action surely was ; that
houa on a sick bed when the first
step was taken to meet the boycott
of the HIo Gnindo Western and allicu lines
In withdrawing lonnd trip-tickets on sale at
common points , the humor of the assertion
is apparent. Tlio second step , while con
templated for a very long time , was in no
wise submitted to Mr. Could. Ho loft the
operation of the road entirely In the bunds
of his trusted lieutenant , Mr. Clark , and to
him belongs the credit of Inaugurating the
warlike movement on the part of the Union
Pacific ilia mutual boycott of the lirgcst
proportions in railroad history.
All1. Gould was never consulted about the
first step taken to meet the boycott of the
Hlo Grande Western because lv had faith in
the ability of the man whom ho placed at
the head of the Union Pacific system , nnd
ho did not want to bo harried with every
trilling detail of business. Gould's Interests
\\crotoo vast , his mind was upon greater
problems than how to meet a boycott of a
rival lino. That belonged entirely to the
executive department of the road ,
The same paper also says :
Tlio Union 1'aclflc Is now ready to take still
filftlim- action on tlio offensive. As boon as
Woild'H fair riituitiro settled tlio road will ri -
dnciilliu tunning time of through trains , In
connection with tlio Northui'.stein , from
riilcugo to 1'orllaml to thirty-six hours less
tlian la any other line. At tlio biuno time It
will put on a coiTcspomlliiK train service \ \ Ith
the Alton , via Kansas C'lt.v , twenty-four hours
shorter than any other lino. This will wiiKo
up the Northern I'acltlc to the necessity of a
faster train sorvlco and Involve all the trans
continental lines In a conte.st of tlnio If not In
ono , of rut I'M.
ClmiiKt'A Contciiiiiliitod.
Ml4. Dickinson , when shown the Hem ,
said : "Thero has been absolutely no talk
about the running ttmo of trains. Wo are
now twenty-four hours ahead of the North
ern Pacific into Portland and that will suffice.
for a tlmo at least. ,
"Sotno time ago the Northern Pacific was
forced to take otT ono of its
trains , presumably on account , of
poor business , and lately wo have seri
ously considered doing the same
thing. But after thinking the matter over ,
taking into consideration that qulto often
wq would have to put on an extra to take
care of the business , that coaches would
have to bo attached to the regular train to
incot the demands of the traveling public ,
nnd that necessarily trains would bo late
Into Portland because of the Inoroased
business , I decided to continue running the
regular trains , oven if at a loss , for the tlmo
being , for travel has been exceedingly light
recently. However , business is picking up
again nnd everybody Is correspondingly
happy. " _

CHICAGO , Iil. miffta ? ) An article on the

Chock for 880,000.
NEW YOHK , Jan. 20. Tlio Merchants Na
tional bank of New York desires to niaku
p.ubllo the fact that.n certified check for $80-
000 , purporting to bo drawn by the Hoyal In
surance company on the Merchants National
bank , is believed to he a forgery. All per
sons are warned against accepting the check.
Manager Edward P. Bedall of the Uoyal I
Insurance company , Wall street , received a
telegram this morning from the proprietor of f
the Kcninoro hotel , Albany , stating that a
young man who gave his naino as James
Woodward of Now York City , and said ho had I
Just arrived from Now York , presented at
the cashier's desk in tlio hotel a cheek lor
$ SO,000 drawn on the Merchants National 1
bank of Now York , and purporting to bo
signed by E. F. Bedull , manager of the
Hoyal Insurance company , and counter
signed William J. Stevenson , cashier , and
Osgood Welch , director of the company.
The check seemed to be , nnd the young
mnn said It was , certified by the bank. Ho
said ho wanted to deposit It as security for
tin advance. The check called for such a
largo sum of money that the suspicion of the
hotel people was at once aroused , and they
went out to the Albany ofllco of the Hoyal
Insurance company to make inquiry. A quick
reply was brought by a messenger from the
insurance ofllco that the check must bo a
forgery. Meantime tlio young man who had 1
presented the check had disappeared.
Then the message was sent to Now I
York. Manager liednll at once called in the I
general counsel of the Hoyal Insurance com
pany and such of the olllclals as were In the I
building. Ho told them the story that had I
como over the wlro and then disclosed to I
them that ho had been watching ono of the
bookkeepers in the ofllco and believed him to
bo tlio guilty person and Woodward to bo an
accomplice. Ho said the bookkeeper had
been speculating lately and had been acting
strangely ,
At Mr. BednU's suggestion the suspected
bookkeeper was summoned before his
superiors. Ho was flatly accused and enough
of the Albany news was told to frighten
him , whereupon ho broke down and made u
full confession. That Is the story told by
Manager liedall this afternoon.
Manager Itcdall refused to give the young
man's name at present , but said ho had been
in the employ of the bank ten years.
This afternoon the bookkeeper was taken
a prisoner to the Tombs. TJio prisoner has
confessed the real n.uno of "Woodward" and
the police are looking for him.

About two weeks ago City Treasurer
Henry Bolln levied ttpsn two of Sir George
Pullman's pnlaco ears , then bolus ? repaired
at the Union Pacific shops , au.l will rcimln
the custodian of these cars until the back
taxes , amounting to over $10,00) , are paid
Into tlio city treasury.
The company oniclals were notified of Mr.
Bolln's act ! ms about ten days before the
cars wcr advertised for s lie. Unless a set
tlement . Is reache.l before that thus , the
Pullman . cars will bo sold to the highest bid
der on February 1 at 10 a. m.
Cash is moro acceptable to the city
than palace cars and Is moro easily cared for.
With this fact oxistin ? , the treasurer
served notice upon Mr. Hlclmivlson , the com
pany's superintendent in Omaha , to hold In
' reserve all moneys in his possession. The
money in Mr. Hichardson's possession was
attached In accordance with the provisions
of the laws of Nebraska and that gentleman
is required to account to the treasurer alL
sums coming into his bauds and turn the
same over when demanded to satisfy the
claims of the city against the Pullman com
pany for its delinquency in paying its taxes.
Trrntvd tlie MnritiU | ( lently.
The treasurer was not aggressive in his de
mands , and bo has given the company ample
time in which to make known its intentions.
Ho has waited from day to day for the
promised coming of a representative of the
company , who was to visit Omaha
and take the necessary steps to effect a set
tlement or contest the action of the city in
the courts. Not until yesterday did the
representative of the Pullman corporation
make known his presence in tlio city. The
gentleman here is Mr. Burly of Chicago , ono
of the company's attorneys , and ho is pro-
Cared to go ahead in the matter. Ho arrived
i the city yesterday morning and went
down to Lincoln , where Judge Dumlj is hold
ing a session of the federal court.
Yesterday morning Mr. Burly called upon
Treasurer ' Bolln and the ground wa pretty
thoroughly t gone over. It is the Intention of
tlie t company to have the injunction case
which , was thrown out of court by
Judge Dundy a few weeks ago reinstated.
A motion has already been Hied with
the ' court to have the case reinstated. The
arguments will bo heard tomorrow afternoon
at - o'clock in Lincoln.
The company has no hopes of escaping the
payment of the whole of the $10,000 , in taxes ,
and i will not conte.st the entire claim of the
city. It is hoped , however , to escape the
payment , of the Interest and a portion of the
Ii taxes I for ISb'J. Mr. Burly says that the
reason i the injunction case before Judge
Dundy ] was never argued was that a stipula
tion had been entered into between the com
pany's and city's attorneys in ISS'J , in which
it was agreed that the ease would stand
until a decision had been reachcU
by the United States supreme
court iu a case then pending in
which the same questions were involved.
The decision of the supreme court in that
case , which came from Pennsylvania , would
cover the pqints at issue in the controversy
between tlio city and the company.
When the decision came considerably later
it was adverse to the company's interests ,
nnd for that reason it was not sought by the
Pullman people to fasten upon this city a
permanent restriction from collecting tlie
delinquent taxes. It was thus that the case
rested for a numberof years and was thrown
out of court by Judge Dundy , who had grown
tired of calling it from1 time to time for trial
and receiving no response from either side.
What the Pullmans llopo to Ciiln.
By having tlio case reinstated the com
pany hopes to escape the payment of the In
terest on the delinquent taxes. It
is also expected to show that
the company was assessed in
18S9 , by both the county and statu , under the
disbursing law which was enacted by the
legislature at its session that year. Previ
ou's to that tlmo the _ county and city had
been assessing the company in full. Under
the law of ISb'J the state board is the proper
functionary and has assessed the Pullman
company tlio same as railroads in the state
since that timo. A double taxation in 1SS ! ) is
claimed , und if such is the case it is possible
that the company will escape the payment of
taxes for that year. Ono or two other points
are to be raised by the company.
It is pretty certain that tlio city will re-
cover nearly all of the $10,000 duo from the
company. Apparently Mr. Burly does not
expect to escape payment of the entire
amount , nnd his efforts will ho directed to
having the sum reduced us much as possible.
It is to secure a reduction that n motion has
been made to reinstate the case in the fcd-
eral court.
Upon Judge Dimity's decision when the
arguments are submitted will depend
whether the sale of the attached palace cars
will bo made February 1.
Mr. Burly called at Mr. Council's office
nnd found tlio clt v attorney was engaged In
court , IIo met Mr. Cornish , assistant city
attorney , and informed him of the motion
made before Judge Dundy. Mr. Cornish
stated that ho know nothing of tlio case ,
as Mr. Council has had it in
charge , and as ho was engaged in
court it would bo impossible for him to rep
resent tills city at Lincoln today In fed
eral court. Mr. Cornish Is engaged before
Judge Ferguson and it will bo impos
sible for him to bo at Lincoln. As both
Mr. Council and Mr. Cornish will have
their entire time occupied in this city
Judge Dundy will bo requested to postpone
the hearing of tlio arguments upon the re
instatement of the case until next week.

that's the way with the
imitations of Pearline. It
isn't surprising that so great
a household help in all wash
ing and cleaning should be ,
so largely imitated ; it isn't /i
surprising that these imitations
fail ; and it isn't surprising that they
make still more popular' the article on
which the fraud is attempted. The
merits of Pearline alone would make
its sales increase , and the claims of
peddlers and unscrupulous that "
grocers they have "the same
as" or "as good as" Pearline mind you , never "better
than " Pearline have placed Pearline on the top notch.
l'cddlcrs nml some unscrupulous grocers will tell yon.
"this Is as good as" or "the same as Pearline " IT'S

GREAT SAVING RESULTS FROM THE USE OF
It is now apparent to the Directors of the World's Columbian
Exposition that millions of people will be denied the pleasure of becoming
the possessors of
x
The Official Souvenir
of the Great Exposition
The extraordinary and growing demand for these Coins , and the de
sire on the part of the Directors that equal opportunities may be afforded for
their purchase , have made it necessary to enlarge the channels of distribution.
To relieve themselves of some responsibility , the Directors have invited
THE MERCHANTS
Throughout the Nation to unite with the Banks in placing Columbian Half-
Dollars on sale. This is done that the masses of the people , and those
living at remote points , may be afforded the best possible opportunity to
obtain the Coins.
THE FORTUNATE POSSESSORS
of SOUVENIR COINS will be those who are earliest in seizing upon these
new advantages.
$10,000 Was Paid For The First Coin
They are all alike , the issue is limited , and time must enhance their
value. The price is One Dollar each.
HOW TO GET THE COINS :
Go to your neares.t merchant or banker , as they are likely to have
them. If you cannot procure them in this way , send direct to us , ordering
not less than Five Coins , and remitting One Dollar for each Coin ordered.
Send instructions how to ship the Coins and they will to sent free
of expense. Remit by registered letter , or send express or post-office money
order , or bank draft to
