jured In the collision between the east bound
H , k M. ixissenger train nnil n freight train
'on tlie Kansas City ft Omaha road Tuesday
night Is hardly expected to live. His In
juries are such as to almost iirecludo the
'possibility ' of recovery. Ills llromnn Jumped
mid saved himself. Grceno saw the danger
and remained , his efforts no doubt saving
the lives of passengers In the coaches behind.
The wreck which occurred about U o'clock
Tuesday , near Fairmont , seems due to the
negligence of the engineer of the Kansas City
train , ho having misunderstood a signal.
LouH Helmrod , state oil Inspector , who
was fi passenger on the B. ft M. train , in
talking of the collision said :
\Vlirn tlio Cruili ( , ' : unc.
"Wo loft Holdrcgo on the Denver express
nt ( iiO ; ! o'clock , " said Mr. Helmrod ,
"and left .Fairmont a few minutes
after 0 o'clock. The train was Just getting
well underway going east from Fairmont
when wo came to a stop with u suddenness
i that took every passenger from his nioor-
I ings. I was in a chair In the chair car and
was talking to my deputy , Mr. C. K. Forbes ,
when the crash came. I was thrown out of
my seat and Forbes was stood on his head
In the alslo and remained there until talccn
down by mo. A lady passenger opposite mo
had her ankle caught under the scat and
very badly sprained. An old gentleman
ncross the alslo had his nose mashed against
the window.
"Hvcrybody became excited , some calling
for help and others lire. As soon as possible
the passengers got out and started for the
engine , hearing some ono crying for help.
" \V'o found the .trainmen helping Engineer
Green from under jhis engine. The
| > oor fellow was horribly burned ,
the skin dropping from his hands and legs as
they carried him into the baggage car.
"Green received his Injuries in n heroic
effort to save the passengers on his train.
When ho saw the crash was sure to come ho
made an effort , and was successful , to put
on the air brakes. Ho had plenty of time to
Jump and save himself , as Ills lireman did.
Ho came near losing his life and , as It Is , will
bo n crinplo for life If ho over recovers from
the effects of . the awl'ul scalding he
received. "
MlHtnolc Illx
The trainmen of the H. ft M. say the
semaphore light gave them the right of way
nnd this Mr. Heimrod substantiated , having
personally examined the light immediately
after the accident. The engineer of the
Kansas City train had his foot badly crushed.
With reference to the accident ho said that
while ho knew the light was against him ,
some one gave him a signal to "como ahead , "
und ho did so. Ills cngino was struck just
us ho was crossing the 1J. ft M. track. The
trainmen made similar statements , the con
ductor saying the brakes had licon set and
were not lot on * until a signal from the en
gineer.
' The wreck was n peculiar ono , . None of
the cars wore damaged , " said Mr..Heimrod ,
"whilo the two engines were com
pletely demolished and locked liltu
two piles of scrap iron. They
wcro both lying on the east of the
Kansas City track and north of the Burling
ton. Their position would lead ono to think
that the Kansas City train had run into the
Burlington and I ant of the opinion that
such was the case , although the contrary
was reported. The K. & M. trainmen acted
very promptly and had axes and buckets
ready to clear away the wreck or tight a
lire , nut fortunately their services were not
needed. Dr. Johnson of the Hastings asylum
was on board and Immediately took charge of
the injured and gave them every assistance
In his power. Ho accompanied Engineer
Green to 1 incoln. He was assisted by Dr.
1'liimb of Fairmont , who hastened to the
scene of the wreck as soon as bo heard of it.
"An engine was sent for our train from
Hastings and wo were taken to Lincoln by
way of Do Witt and reaching there at 5
o'clock in the morning arrived at Omaha
at 0UO : o'clock. * '

At no time In the history of the country
has pneumonia been so prevalent as during
the winter months of the last two years. In
times past a common cold was not considered
at all serious , but of late years the great ton
clcney of colds to result In pneumonia bus
made people apprehensive- . The trouble is
that colds are not always propeily treated
No preparation containing opium , wild
cherry oi chloroform should bo used , as the\
linvo a tendency to dry up a cold , whereas li
sho.uld bo loosened and the lungs relieved
It has been observed that when Chamber
Iain's Cough llomcdy is used the cold novel
results in pneumonia ; The reason Is that
' this remedy stimulates the mucous me'm
, brano which lines the throat and lungs to 11
healthy action , causes a free expectoration

toracts any tendency toward pneumonia

MN-totn-1 Heirs to Chicago Properly \VII1 Sno
for Itx I'lmspRsloiii
K.vxs CITY , Mo. , Feb. 1. Suit for the
possession of valuable real estate in the
lie-art of Chicago Is about to bo begun by the
heirs of the late Colonel C. Cl'iy King of
Ivlngsvillc , Johnson county , Mo. B. Isloy of
HI''O Vine street , this city , is ono of the heirs.
An undivided one-eighth interest in a
tract of Nio acres in Chicago , comprising what
was known about three-quarters of a century
iigo as the Bourbon estate , \vi\s obtained
many years ago by C. Clay King , who died
about ISSTi at his homo at Klugsvlllo. This
interest is the cause of action in the proceed
ings about to be taken. Tlio land includes
tlio. Auditorium building property. Mr.
Isley thinks that the value of the entire
Bourlion estate tract may reach about
* W , < XXhuOO.
The acquisition of the property dates back
to the early history of Illinois , when a family
named Bourbon obtained from the govern
ment a quarter section of land. This land
was let out to various tenants on the longtime -
time lease plan , but the contracts were so
loosely drawn that the tenants claimed pur
chase. In order to take the case to the
courts it was necessary to procure an
abstract of the property , and the Bourbon
heirs being poor , gave Mr. King an eighth
interest In the property in consideration of
his having expended $10,000 in procuring the
abstracts.
Litigation was begun and was carried
finally to the United States supreme court ,
where the rightful heirs to tlio property
were established , subject to the expiration
of the leases. The last of the leases ex
pired about a month ago. The heirs are
forming a concerted plan under the direc
tion of W. B. Sprague , a Chicago real estate
attorney , and will , as soon as an agreement
can be reached , begin action.

Now General Manager nnd Now Chief'
Engineer Appointed Yesterday.
ED DICKINSON GOES UP ONE HIGHER
lie U Muilo Nrrt to the I'rmldrnt with 1'ull
Authority Colonel .Sniprd'n .Surcensnr
Causes Some Surprise Among
the Knii"liiK Ones.
Late Tuesday evening a telegram was re-
eclvcd at the Union 1'adllc headquarters
from Mr. S. H. II. Chirk , announcing the
Issuance of two circulars ono the appoint
ment of Mr. Edward Dickinson ns general
manager of the Onion Pacific , the second tis-
slgnlng Mr. George II. 1'egraiii us engineer
of the system.
While the first was not In the
nature of a surprise , the second an
nouncement created general amazo-
mcnt , as It had been generally under
stood that Mr. L. T. Wollc , who was
assistant to Mr. Snieod , to Mr. Hoguo and to
Mr..Hlli-kensdcrfur , has been slated for the
position , hut civil service reform In this case
didn't have a ghost of a show and a man
from the Missouri 1'acille comes to assume
charge of the engineering department of the
Union Pacific.
The appointment of Mr. Dickinson Is re
ceived with universal satisfaction , not only
among railroad people , but among men out
side railroad circles , for ICdward Dickinson
Is probably more favorably known tlinn any
man now in the cmnloy of the Union Pacific.
He has grown up on the system on which
ho is from today general manager. Ho
knows every conductor , every engineer ,
every trainman , every grade on the road , the
resources of the great property with which
he has been connected for years , and what is
still more to the point , is the best operating
man in the west.
AVhy Dleldnsim Cues I'p.
A yonr ace It was Mr. Clark's desire to
make Mr. Dickinson general manager , and
the circular w.is prepared , but like countless
other circulars it died a bornhf and at the
election a year ajo Mr. Clark was made
president and general manager , necessarily
miikiiiR Mr. Dickinson assistant general
manager.
Wliilo for a year ho has performed the
duties naturallv devolving on the general
manager , Mr. Dickinson has only herd the
titleof assistant general malinger , implying
that there was still a higher head to which
cases might bo appealed. This condition of
affairs made it embarrassing many times ,
not'ibly In mi'otlm ? with grievance commit
tees and others who did not like the decis
ions of Mr. Dickinson and carried them up
to Mr. Clark for final adjudication.
Mr. Clark has felt the growing importance
of his position for some time , ho has felt that
a general manager would relieve him of much
of the detail of the ofllcoand give him greater
scope to carry out those ideas for building up
the property which Mr. Bossovain says will
show $ -2,000,000 not earnings for ISltt , a con
dition unprecedented in the history of the
"Overland lloute. "
Hut until now the president has not been
able to make the appointment desired.
Foreign influences have played no Inconsequential
quential part in the matter and even until
this morning there was a question' whether
the circular would go out , as advices from
Boston might change the whole atmosphere
ns had been done oii several other occasions.
Xo additional advice came , however , and
Mr. Dickinson is enjoying the title which ho
has won by reason of great executive
ability.
Konio People Wonder.
While the appointment gives widespread
satisfaction , there is underneath a current
of speculation as to what all this means.
There Is Just a possibility that Mr.
Clark , feeling bound by the death bed prom
ises made Mr , Gould , will become president
of the Missouri Pacific with Mr. George , T.
Gould as chairman of the executive board.
The close , friendly relationship existing be
tween the Goulds and Mr. Clark Is % vo-il
known , and it cannot bo lightly put aside ,
notwithstanding the Inducements held out
by the directors of the Union Pacific to Mr.
Clark for him to remain as the head of the
system. Fifty thousand dollars Is a big sal
ary for oven a railroad president to get , but
Mr. George Gould may augment Mr. Clark's
present salary by $23,000 , and oven a man of
Mr. Clark's independent fortune would
hardly refuse a plum like $75.000 a year.
While It Is true that all the indications
point to Mr. Clark's continuance with tlio
Union Pacific one cannot disguise the fact
that with Mr. Dickinson general manager ,
having all the powers delegated to htm , it
would bo comparatively easy to make a New
York or Boston man president of the com
pany with headquarters in the cast.
About the New ICiiflnrvr.
Mr. George II. Pcgram , who succeeds the
late E. C. Smced as chief engineer of the
Union Pacific , with headquarters at Omaha ,
comes back to the road after fifteen years of
wandering , having commenced.his engineer
ing career in the construction department of
the Utah & Northern. After working with
the Utah fc Northern people for some time
Mr. Pegram became chief engineer of tlio
Edgomoro Iron works at Wilmington , the
largest Iron works in the , world. loiter
ho went to the Misssouri Pacific
as assistant chief engineer and ' during
his connection there built the largest union
depot In the country at St. Ixjuis , a depot
that contains thirty-two trauks.'Wlih twelve-
foot platforms between each , in s'lzo fOOxiXX )
feet. Tuesday ho laid down his pen as an
employe of the Missouri Pacific , nnd
yesterday morning , to the utter astonish
ment of the whole engineering corps ,
walked into the ofllco of chief engineer of
the Union Padlle.
IMM Kilt ANT COMMISSIONS.
Proposed KrgnlHtlonii Conrnrnlng Them Do
, Not .Meet with l-'iiv r.
CHICAGO , 111. , Feb. 1. Some of the proposed
reforms in western passenger affairs which
have been discussed of late are likely to
bo solved or seriously delayed.
The proposal of regulating immigrant rom-
mlsslons , though it appeared bright enough
for a time , has perceptibly faded , and now
the opinion is freely expressed that the
present movement in that diicction Is
an absolutely hopeless one. Some of
the roads insist that $1 is a
largo enough commission to pay the
immigrant agents in New York , since that Is
the amount allowed the regular agents of the
roads ; but other lines strenuously object to a
reduction of the commission below & ! . The
prospects foran agreement seem to be rapidly
diminishing , especially as certain roads de
clare positively that they will sign no Agree
ment that does not provide for the abolition
of "split orders , " such as are now issued by
eastern stcamuhip agents.
Other delayed forms are those embodied
in the revised agreement of the Western
Passenger association. It was expected
that the now agreement would have been
adopted by this time , but it is still hi thu
hands of the committee. The committee
held a brief session today , and after review
ing the ground over which It had gone , ad
journed until tomorrow. The delay Is proba
bl > caused by the fact that certain pro
visions of the revised agreement are not
acceptable to certain members of the asso
ciation , and mui't bo changed before the
whole is submitted to u gonerarmeotliisr.

AFFECTING NEBRASKA INDIANS.
Two Mritmirr * TlintVlll Ho ITrRril Upon tlio
Antliorltli-H at WnflhlitKton.
Mr. W. K. Peebles , Iho Ponder banker , was
n the city yesterday on his way to Wash
ington on a two-fold mission , both phases of
which affect the Omaha and Wlnncbago In-
.llans , whoso reservations comprise the chief
[ lortiou of Thurston county.
Accompanying Mr. Peebles were "White
Horso" and "Sin da 1m hu1 old-tlmo chiefs
of tlieOmahas , and an Interpreter , Frank
Sail Soticl. The vcter.in Omah.is are going
down to see the Great Father and present
a plea for the allotment of tribal lands.
There are fiO.OOO acres of land
of this character in Tlim-ston county and Mr.
Peebles says there is no liner land in Ne
braska and that IM.OOO acres of it could bo
farmed without any preparatory work. The
Omahas were the llrst Indians to become1 cill-
zens and accept lands in severally. This was
in 1884 nnd the chiefs now desire that chil
dren born since that time be allotted the
eighty acres each to which they are entitled
out of the tribal lands. Ono of the reasons
for this request is that under tribal laws lands
cannot bo leased for farming purposes , but
only for grazing purposes. If the land is al
lotted it can bo leased for agricultural pur
poses at a much higher figure than is now
being received. The Omahas have fMUXX )
nt Washington on which they draw Interest.
The fund was derived from the sale of lands
belonging to the tribe. The Winnebagos ,
whoso property is also in Thurstun comity ,
have a similar fund of nearly $1,000.000.
The other object of Mr , Peebles' mission
to Washington is to secure , if possible , the
passage of a bill now before congress provid
ing tor the assessment and taxation of the
Indian lands in Thurston county , the govern
ment to pay the tax. Thurston county has
! MO,000 acrcsof land , of which'JUI.OOOacers be
long to tlio two tribes of Indians. Under the
present system the owners of the 20.000 acres
of land must pay all of the real estate tax
for the county. The bill provides that the
tax on Indian lands shall bo paid by the gov
ernment , as the lands are held in trust bi
lbo government for u period of twenty-live
years. "
This bill was introduced at Mr. Peebles'
instance n year ago and met with consider
able opposition at the time. Mr. Peebles
urged that as the government had turned
the Indians over to the state for protection
tlio Indian lands should bo taxed to bear a
portion of the expense of such protection.
The argument was used with effect and the
bill has been recommended for passage by
the senate committm ; on Indian affairs. The
bill has also beenilntrodiiced in the house ,
nnd it is for the purpose of miring its favor
able consideration iby that body that Mr.
Peebles is going to Washington.

Our regular half yearly sale of odd suit pants begins
today , and continues till we've panted a couple o
thousand men. The majority of the mnle portion of this
vicinity knoxv all about these pant sales of ours and
many a man in Omaha hasn't worn a pair of pants in
five years , that he didn't get at one of these sales. Wo
buy no pants for them we take no chestnut patterns
from regular stock and mix in with them-they are just
exactly what we say they arc odd suit pants -each and
every pair having been left from some suit where only
the coat and vest have been sold. The pants in this sale
have been left from suits of all kinds and qualitics-nnd
range in actual value from two and a half up to seven dollars
lars and fifty cents. There are almost as many different
patterns as we've had different patterns insults during
the past six months giving a man an assortment to se
lect from that he wouldn't get in any regular pant stock
on earth. There are over two thousand pairs in the ac-
cumalation which will be divided into lots and sold as
follows :
Pants worth two fifty two
seventy-five nnd three del
lars.
Pants worth fonv fifty four
seven.ty-ftvo five dollars nud
five dollars and fifty cents.
The finest pants from our
finest suits actual value
from six to seven dollars
and fifty cents a pair ,
