Slttco tlio Inauguration of the fast mall
and express train on the Northwestern which
leaves Chicago tit 3 o'clock In tlio morning
nnd arrives at Missouri Valley at Isl5 p. tn. ,
the business men of Omaha recognize that
they are woefully getlng left and a mighty
protest lias gone up. . .
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. "

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.

CHICAGO , Oct. 31. More trouble has been
created among the western lines by the action
of the Missouri , Kansas & Texas. 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 rate for the excursions which
will bo run November 20 and December 4
and 18 , will be one fare for the. round trip ,

John King and John 0 McCullough , receiv
ers of the New York , Lake Erie & Western
railroad , to pay the Interest due on several

SIIEKERY SIM ON SHEKELS

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

Her Midwinter Fair closed in a midsummer blaze of glory
Second only to the Columbian
Exposition in extent , variety
and splendor , the coast display was a veritable triumph.
Out of her--abundance the state
poured her treasures and
the nations of the earth came to aid herrin her noble
exhibition.
Memorable were the exhibits of gold -and silver , of
wheat and oil , of fruit and wine , of silk andfjwool of all

to produce. And no
exhibit attracted more attention or excited wanner approval
than that of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder

purest in quality , and most efficient in results of all baking-
powders made. Accordingly , the Highest Award and Gold

More from force of habit than from any other
cause , we speak of overcoats on a chilly and
drizzling day. However , it might prove inter
esting to you , There are more buj'ers this year
in search of bargains than ever known from the
d ays of the Pilgrims down.
The Nebraska approves of this. Buy cheaply
but be sure it is cheap. To know where to buy
is an important item. Scan all newspapers , clip
all miraculous incidents of purchasers or other J
wonderful tales of daring advantages required ;
to secure a dozen or so overcoats , and of some
ha'rbreadth escapes some experienced while
making a daring plunge of an offer for a whole
manufacturer some 17 overcoats in all. Goby
all means and investigate examine prices and
quality a most eloquent salesman \\ill , no
doubt , help you to get the best of the bargain.
When you are through , give us your time for
a minute ; come in to the ever humble Nebiaska.
We hav'nt any moquette carpets , plate mirrors ,
neither eloquent and persuading salesmen , but
honest overcoats to be sold honestly , and loads of
'em to select from. We don't handle any so-
called half price floods , but we can furnish you an
overcoat for TWO SEVENTY-FIVE of
good chinchilla , Italian lined , warm and durable ,
that'll cost you $500 anywhere. A long , deep
collar Melton Ulster , wool lined in two shades at
FOUR DOLLARS for which other stores
charge at least $7.00.
Here are other coats and ulsters finer , finers
still and the finest to be had. Can't possibly
dream of a style or sort you can't get here at a
good healthy saving on each one. From $2.00
up to $10.00 is what you save heie. If we mis
represent this , come and get your money back
you're ' welcome ,
