Omaha somehow has been playing second fiddleto the whole territory ot Nebraska , so far as the arrangement of train service Is con cerned , nnd the business men of the metro- polls , having been stirred up over the politi cal situation , are- now turning their atten tion to abuses which the railroads have- from time Immemorial healed upon them. One of the strongest business men In Omaha , regarding the action of the Northwestern - western , said. "It Is nn outrage upon the business community of Omaha to give the advantage In mall service to Ulalr , Fremont , Lincoln , to say nothing of Missouri Valley , by the running of this , new train on the Northwestern. The mall carried by this train arlves la Omaha too late to be answered on Iho same day as It arrives. In view of the fact that It Is not delivered until the tnonilng after Its arrival , permit ting Lincoln , Fremont Ulalr , Norfolk and other towns to answer their letters Im mediately after delivery and In time for freight trains , thereby giving these towns twenty-four hours advantage Into New York. I'appreciate ' the fact that the Northwestern 4oes not have the government contract for the transportation of mull between Chicago nnd Omaha , Iho same being held by the Chicago , llurllngton & Qulncy , but com mon decency would warrant the Uurllngton pulling on a train that would make the saino time as the Northwestern leaving and arriving Jt some point In Iowa whereby mall might be delivered to Omaha business men by the afternoon carriers Instead of be ing compelled to wait until morning and al lowing other towns on the Northwestern to get the advantage over us. While I would not advocate parllcularly the can- cellat'on of the government contract with the Burlington , I believe the postulllco de partment should Insist upon the Uurllngton putting on a train that would give us mall In the afternoon for the east Instead of compelling us to wait until the next morning. People who stand In the way of progress are ob- strilctois ; people who attempt-to clog the wheels of commerce arc little less than criminals , and should be BO regarded. We have a right lo Insist upon e < | ual treatment GO far as mall und express facilities ara con cerned , with other towns In the state ot in finitely loss population , and wo mean to have our rights , even if the attention of the United States authorities rmibt be called tea a palpable act of discrimination. " A1KHI1M1 roil A CUSIUI-ATIVB IViira Making Uln IMeii nil Itoliiilfiit knntn 1'u Illrrcton TOPKKA , Oct. 31. In the Santa Fe hear ing before Judge Foster , In the United States district court , Eugene Ware consumed the entire morning. The special point first taken jipand dwelt upon at length by Mr. Ware was a. reply to General Tracey's argument of yesterday , wherein It was averred that the state of Kansas Is not bound by acts of the territorial legislature any in ore than one legislature is bound by another. Mr. Ware cited as a parallel to the- Santa Fe'a charter rights an act of February 10 , 1S59 , whereby the territorial legislature granted a charter to the Kansas Medical college. This was the day before the S.inta Fe charter was granted. Mr , Ware read from an opinion wherein the supreme court of Kansas held that the char ter of the Kansas Medical college was a perpetual one , and the opinion following the provision In the state's constitution that the legislature , cannot Impair a contract , and therefore , could not annul the Santa Fe charter a contract with the railroad com pany. Taking1 up the cumulative plan of voting , Mr. Ware declared , the right to a noncumu- latlve vote R property right , which cannot be taken away. In summarizing , Mr. Ware took this position : The charter of 1S59 de clares how the volng ( shall bo done. The custom of the railroad for thirty-five years has become an unwritten by-law , the method of voting so granted and adopted had be come a property right and cannot be Impaired by legislation. Robert Dunlap , representing the Santa Fe company , began the second argument In the defense Very shortly after 2 o'clock. He devoted considerable time to an attack on the authorities cited by General Tracey , and censured the plaintiff's counsel for seeking to destroy the Santa Fo charter nt this crit ical period ot the company's existence. Mr. Dunlap pointed out the fact that the differ ence between the law ot 1878 , which contains .the provision for cumulative voting , was that In all the other laws , many of which had been ratified by the company , the provisions could bo accepted If the company saw fit , whllo this ono attempted to force- provisions on the company whether it desired to have them cr not. A. A. Hurd , solicitor for the Santa Fe , fol lowed' with a brief statement ot the facts In the case. General Tracey then arose to answer for the plaintiff. He paid that up to this time counsel for the plaintiff had not Intended to Impair the charter ot the- company , and had not Intended to refer to a. law that existed at the lime the charter waa granted , but It had been called up by opposing counsel. Str. Ware protested that the defense had not used this fact In argument , and it had only been referred to Incidentally. General Tracey Insisted , however , the point had been opened for answer. Ho then claimed that when the Santa. Fo charter was granted , there existed a law of 1855 which provided that nil charters Issued without a tlmo limit should run for five years , and further , that they should be subject to re peal or modification by the state legislature. "Tho claim ot the defence , " said General Tracey , "that this- act was repealed by Iho act of February D , 1859 , I * a mistake , That act related to colleges , and had no relation to corporations. It was OH February 11 of the same year that another , act was passed repealing nil laws passed previously to 1S57. but It was not to be effective until the fol lowing June , therefore the charter of the Santa Fo company , granted February 11 , was limited by a territorial law. " Later , the general claimed , a state taw ex tended the tlmo of the charter's existence to twenty years , ami this ; he s-ald , supported the motion of complainant , that the company nnd its charter was subject to state laws. After reviewing several of the points touched In his main argument , General Tracey closed and Mr. Wollmnn made a brief closing argu ment for the plaintiff. Mr. Ware replied In a tew words explain ing his tide of the point made by General Tracey about the old territorial law. lie honed , by reading Its title that It not only reform ! to school * and colleges , but com panies aa well , This was chapter xxxvl of the lawa of 1859 , and had reference to enabling bodies to become bodies corporate. Upon Webruary 9. 1659. all acts and parts ot acts thereNj-o passed upon this subject were re pealed. This went Into effect February -Stand Irom then until th state was organized there was no law under wfj > corporation * cbuld bo or Ban I ted except by special statute , After the repeal of February 9 , theSaiiU r char ter was granted by a special act of the tern , torlal legislature , Uobert Harbison , an attorney from Hart t- ford , Conn. , who represented a number of outside Santa Fe Interests , spoke for ten minutes , supporting and commending1 very highly the position of the defense , Judge Foster adjourned court until Monday morning , when lie will render his decision.

( J1SAM ) TIlUMt'S ANNUAL KLECTION Stockholders Very Miicli m.sallsflril with the Condition nf AITHlrs. LONDON , Oct. 31. The long expected and much discussed meeting of the stockholders of the Grand Trunk railroad of Canada has taken place and a largo number of angry stockholders were present to make- things lively. Sir Henry Tyler , president ot the road , and the directors , ns they appeared. were received with loud cheers from their supporters , and with equally strong mani festations ot d splcasure In the shape of groans and hisses from those who were displeased with their policy. The business of the meeting began with a protest against the ro-clcctlon of Lord Claude Hamilton as a director. Sir Henry Tyler aniwcr this protest by saying the ob jection to Lord Claude Hamilton came too late. Iteferrlng to the affa rs of the rail road the president said that they had met with a succession of disasters In Canada and In the United Slates. The serious busi ness ) depression In the United States during the past two years , the question as to the currency of sllvw and the tariff question had delayed or destroyed all traffic. Then there was the coal Etr ke , which was followed by the sympathy strike at the Pullman works and Its serious consequences. The Grand Trunk suffered seriously In the delay of Its tiafllc and from low rates , and es pecially ou the Chicago division , which , under the" circumstances , i\os now surpris ingly bad. . Continuing. President Tyler tald that ths board employed experts In Canada In order to examine the books , and anybody was welcome to mnko Ihe fullest Inquiry Into the atfalrs of the company. The directors had nothing lo conceal and welcomed the Investigation. Hut the matter was too seri ous to admit of discussion among the stock holders , therefore he akkeil tlum to sup port 'he directors. The discussion wh ch followed developed considerable angry feeling. The motion to adopt the report was amended so as to post pone the acceptance ot the accounts until the Investigation wns completed. The amendment was carried by one \ote. Sir Henry Tyler demanded a poll. At the adjourned meeting this morning the remit of the poll was announced , showIng - Ing that 15,223 shares personally and 271,458 shares by proxy \oted In favor of Sir Henry Tyler's renort. On the other hand , 4,832 shares personally and 0,756 shares by proxy voted In favor of the amendment to post pone the approval of the accounts until the expert Investigation shall have been com pleted. .1IOKH TUOUItl.i : I'OU WESTKltiN LINKS.

That line has announced excursions from Us terminals at St. Louis , Hannibal and St. Joseph , and has moreover tendered the reduced scale at which the excursions are to 1 > e run to the lines of the Central Traffic association , as bating rates from eastern territory to points beyond St. Louis. In order ( o meet this action of the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , the Atchison has declared that It will bring this rate up to Chicago and make It apply from here. This will leave the other lines In the Western Passenger association no other re- oourso but to follow the lead set them by the Missouri , Kansas & Texas and the Atchison.

The bonds are flrst and second mortgage funded coupons and aggregate $7- $ 000,000. The holders of the first mortgages have not foreclosed , but the mortgage stipulates that -oreclosure can result only after the non payment of interest on six successive coupons pens , Judge Lacombe says that the Interest on these , as well as on the Chicago branch , should bo paid by the receivers , the system maintained as a whole , and the property pre served for the full benefit of the creditors. To allow the properly or any part of it to be sold , would. In the opinion of Judge Lacoinbe , bo Inexcusable on the part of the receivers. He adtUes payment of the Interest.

BUT THE SYRIAN MMADEN LOO HIM njm Altlnn't Wlsliw nnd Jotcph Knlnfey' * Uohl Spumed ItfvUia Ulrl Who I.ovctt Her I'ediUcrllntRliI Stormy Voo- Ing titl tliippy Wedding , The proverb that the course of true love never docs run smooth was again proved true Tuesday , There was u romance of the first magnitude and trouble In the Syrian district which required the Intervention of the burly copper on that beat. Ablan Ablan Is ono ot the foremost men among the Syrians who reside about his resi dence at Twelfth and 1'lcrce streets , Ho Is n peddler and has climbed so many rounds ot the ladder of success that he Is able to pay several hired hands to assist him In lI' rolling ' up his pile. About four years ego Shekery Dcp decided to try his hand , or rather voice , In the peddler business and signed with Ablan. At that time Ablan had a buxom daughter , Hoby , who was 14 years old. Boby wag already making her mark as a belle in Syrian society and when Shek- cry cast his eyes upon her the well springs of his soul opened and great streams of love and passion flowed forth , He stated his case to the old man and the latter Incorporated In his contract with St.plcry a clause which provided that Shekety should have his daughter In marriage In the course of time. Shckcry lived in a heaven of bliss for al most four years. He had given Ablan an engagement ring of gold and a half dozen handkerchiefs , which were duly handed over to Boby , ana he thought he had a sure cinch on his lady love. Bu' * his dreams of bliss -were rudely shat tered a short tlmo ago by the arrival of n countryman , Joseph Kalafey , on the stage. Joseph came from Fort Dodge , la. , and with lilm he brought f3,000 of the coin of the realm. He saw Hoby and was conuuercd. Boby's father saw Joseph's gold nnd he was conquered. Ablan Immediately began to look with unfavorable eyes on Sliekerjr. who did not have $3,000 , and he vowed that Shckcry should never have Boby and that Joseph would bo the lucky man. Up to this time Boby hail not said a word , because she -was In love with Shekery and things were coming her way , But she wouldn't have Joseph and said If she couldn't marry Shekery she wouldn't marry anyone. Ablan was Just as set In the other way , and , as a consequence , the peace of the liousehold was somewhat shattered until Tuesday. Then the crisis came and there was no peace left. Shekery had become tired of waiting and made arrangements to elope. The plan , suc ceeded and the two 1mtuan turtle doves bled themselves across the river to Pottawaltamle county nnd were tied together for life. , \Vher. the couple returned home and Shckery brought to light his 'marriage license , Ablau was wild. Ho pounced upon the girl and wouldn't let Shekery have her , claiming that she was only 15 years old. The neighbors sided with the young people , but his voca tion had given Ablan a healthy voice , and he was holding his own bravely. The uolse attracted Ofilcer MltclUll s attention and he packed them all off to jail. Shekery seems to have the Inside track , as the neichbors. her r usln and the girl herself claim that Boby Is 18 years old. The bridegroom , however , remained In Jail , but Boby's countrymen raised the necessary $25 for the ball or the girl and she as released. The defendants nppoared In-police court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to the charg6 of disturbing the peace. KhcVtry Dep produced a tnirrlaKe certificate , enovelr > g that'he nnd Koby Ablan were n married In Council' " Huffs' Tuesday nftornoon. This ended the.case as far as the Jud e was con- ccined. iHe dismissed the defsndants. The angry parents of the girl appeared to be satlsfieJ , and those interested In the case shook hands all around. "While down In the southwestern part of the state some time ngo , " says Sir. W. dial mors , editor of the CIilco ( Cal. ) Enterprise , "I had an attack of dysentery. Having heard of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy I bought a bottle. A couple of doses of It completely cured me. Now I am a champion of that remedy for all stomach and bowel complaints.
