Congress Will Bo Able Men , j HUNDREDS OF THEM ARE COMING JhTnnr llnve Expert KnntrlnlKc ot Ihc Snl.jeeti Tlirr AVII1 Ulncnnn Flrnt ScNnlnit OIICIIN To in or- rorr MornliiR , I One of the most representative bodies that I Omaha has had the honor to entertain will " * * - oo the Tranimlsslsslppl Commercial congress , ( T * which will convene at Crelghton hall Monday morning. The attendance of many ot the most prominent bualnces and professional men In the west Is assured , and the conven tion will be composed entirely of men whose presence will bo an honor to the city. Many of them are men whose names are most prominently connected with the subjects that they ulll discuss at the convention , and they will afford the benefit of much valuable In formation that will be profitable not only to , the members of the convention , but to the LI general public. r Just how many delegates will be regis tered when President Cannon calls the con vention to order Monday Is largely a matter of speculation. The call provides for the ! appointment of delegates by the governors of states , the mayors of the various cities , the authorities of each county and by business nnd commercial organizations. As the terri tory from which this representation Is drawn embraces all the states west of the Missis sippi river , It Is difficult to estimate the number of delegates who will be sufficiently Interested la the convention to como to Omaha. PERSONNEL OP DELEGATIONS. Estimates vary nil the way from 300 to 1,000 , but.lt IB expected that fully GOO men of the cream of western business and pro fessional circles will sit In the convention. Several ot the larger cities have Informed the local committee of the names of their dele gates. St. Joe wilt send a delegation which will Include some ot the heaviest financial and commercial men ot the city. It Includes Hon. C. P. Cochran , Colonel John Donlphan , Harry Tootle , Hon. John L. Dlttcnger , O. M. Spencer , Joseph Hanson , C. A. Habacher , M. M. Crandall , Hon. A. W. Drewster , 1J Thomas H. Doyle and John F. Fraxler. Den- I' ver will also send a very notable delega- s tlon , consisting of Hon. N. P. Hill , Hon. E. \ B. Coe , Hon. T. M. Patterson , J. D. Ward , Colonel n. E. Goodell , R. F. Hunter , J. R. Schermcrhorn , Diddle Reeves , James J. ' Stewart and C < S. Thomas. t If these delegations are any .criterion the | convention will be one of the most notable i gatherings of business men that has ever 1 been held west of the Mississippi rlv * ; . fiS Chairman H. R. Whltmoro of the executive B ts committed will probably arrive In Omaha f early today and at once open his headquar- T _ tcrs at the Mlllard hotel. A large number of r- " ' * " delegates are expected on the afternoon trains and the remainder will como In Mon day. It Is expected that with very few ex ceptions all the delegates will arrive In time ' . ' to attend the first session of the convention , * which will bo held at 11 o'clock. 1 LOCAL COMMITTEES BUSY. The preparations of the local committee for the reception and entertainment of th guests have left nothing lacking that mlgh contribute to make their sojourn in the city a pleasant one. It has been difficult to make arbitrary plans for their entertainment , n the business of the convention will naturally have the right of way , but some form o entertainment has been provided for eacl evening and a number of features are In re n.'rvo to occupy any of the daylight hours that may chance to hang heavily on the hands of the delegates. It Is not expcctct that any/ business will be transacted on Thanksgiving day and If the weather Is a nil , propllou | ? . the convention will see the , loot ball gampjln n body. The hotels wll provide a "Thanksgiving- dinner that wll eclipse all previous records and the visitors will bo allowed to' owii the town. The tasl of playing host to such an assemblage Is i prodigious one , but by appointing a specla reception committee for each day and enlist Ing * the services of nearly- all the leading men of the city lii this capacity It Is ex pected that no delegate will be allowed to complain that , ho did not receive sufficient attention. Thursday afternoon , from 4 to C o'clock the wives of the delegates will b ? tendere < n reception at the Woman's club rooms on Fourteenth street , near the Dellono hotel. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING IlniiUne IlnxIiicNN Done Trlth a Gooil Drill of WniiiKllnir. The meeting of the Board of County Com missioners yesterday afternoon was occuplci almost exclusively with routine business. It would have been considered decidedly mo notonous It It had not been for a number of little spats which occurred between Indi vidual members , which , however , developed into nothing srlous. One of the disagreements was over the final estimate on the Dodge street road due to Van Court & Co. The estimate consisted of two Items , ono of $4,385 and tha other o $354. It developed that Llvescy , the chalr- mnn of the committee which reported in favor of allowing the claim , had failed to see whether soma repairing had been done or the road. The county purveyor announced that It had been done , but a couple of mem bers of the board thought that this waq too much llko taking things for granted. There fore the appropriation shset was laid over for a week , and Llvesey cmp In for a roast , : u On the appropriation sheet for witness fees were two Items of S3 each , ons In favor of Tat Ford-Jr. , and the other In favor of F. A. PJorou , Hoth of these men have beer convicted of hlfihwa'y rotibery , and each bad been subpoenaed by the state as > a wltnew in the case of the other. This appeared to bs a case of paying men to bo prosecuted by the county , but It was considered that notli- Ing could bo done but pay the fees , as the men had assigned their certificates to Inno cent purchasers. The county surveyor reported that the final estimate for grading the Lravcnworth street road from the MIsKourl Pacific crossing to the city limits was $2,751. One-half of this Is to bs paid by the county and the { nllier hnlf hv the cltv. Charles Hnnmissen signified his desire to compromise the case ho has brought against the county In the district court to recover JSOO damages , The damages were alleged to ( have been sustained by the cutting of > a road through his property In Union precinct. Ap praisers placed his damage * originally at J2Si ( and this estimate was cut down one-half by the board , rusmusson was dissatisfied and brought suit for $ SOO , but I * willing now to settle for the original appraisal of | 2SG. The county attorney desired to know what the commissioners desired him to do and tiQ ) matter was referred to a committee. The Missouri 1'nclflo Kallroad company died a formal protest against the levying of a double assessment against the licit Line prop erty. The property was appraised by the etnto as Missouri Pacific property , and on the appraisement $2,157 was levied In 1893 and IL'.OGl In ISI. ! ) T5ic.se amounts have re cently been turned over to the- county treas urer for ( lie state. During the s.ime years the county appraised the property as Belt Line property and the railroad company Is objecting to this. A number of bonds of minor officers were approved. County Judge Ilaxter offered anew now bond of $50,000 for his new term ot odlce. County Clerk-elect Hedfleld asked the Ttv commissioners \\liat bond ho would bo re- tl quired to Rlvo. Tha statute * place It between [ j ' $5,000 and ? 10.000. ( Hy a resolution of Llvesey the services of < Jacob Houck In the county surveyor's offlco \ero dispensed with , as there was nothing for him to do. > The board received an Invitation to attend ti\io \ llilrd annual meeting of the Nebraska 'State Irrigation association , \\hlcu U to meet - ( shortly In Hastings , and It was accepted. Tlii > county clerk requested that the taxes 'ogalnst certain property wlilcli had been con demned and Incorporated In lllvervlew park be canceled , AVIII Cut U MI - > .Yt-xt Your. Chairman Munro.of the Hoard of Public M'orks has not completed his estimate of the expenses of his department for 1S96 , but lie expects to get along with about two-thirds of the amount expended this year. It Is not expected that there will be any paving next jrrar outside ot * few odd jobs nd this ulll cut down lh Mtlmn ! * of th rtrcot depart ment to n much lo r figure. Up to No vember 15 , the expfn i of the street de partment for 18J5 , Ir.clndlnR tdw lk re- pilrs and extlafttre of street sweeping , were $22,133.28. Of this amount $ fi,316.23 was for material and $ IB,822 for latwr , KXASII.\AT10X OP M'CUAHl'S lit'PnCTS Letter SlumliiK Ho Hurt Hrlnttvcn In Ireland ntul Srotlnml. The trunk of Angus McCualg. who U al leged to have died of starvation at the Ox ford hotel Saturday morning , was opened by Coroner Maul jc tcrday and Us contents ex amined. Outside of n few old letters , dated In 18S3 , there was little to show where his relatives resided , or what his former occu pation was. The trunk was nearly full of old garments , which showed long wear nnd strict economy In their many patches. Prom ono of the letters sent from the Island of Ilathlln , county of Antolne , It was ascer tained that McCualg was of Irish parentage , nnd that ho left his homo many years ago , probably In his youth , and his mother Is still living. The letter was signed by a brother named John McCualg. Another let tor bore the postmark of Dumbarton , Scol land , and was from another brother , tiamoi D , M. McCuatg. The name of John Me Lcod , n cousin , Is upon a paper dated a St. Johns , N. U. , and a later one from Port land , Me. Prom a poorly written diary kep by McCualg It \\as discovered that h formerly resided In Winnipeg , Manitoba , am that he was employed upon some railroad. The dead man had few friends , and wa not of n very sociable disposition. Among his acquaintances In the city were Charle Tllton , engineer at the Arcade hotel , and a party named Kelly , working for the Union Pacific railroad. Tllton stated that he knew very little about McCualg , but undcrstoot that ho was once a brakeman on tha Union Pacific railroad , and that a number of year ago he met with an accident near Kearney by which he lost his leg. He thought Me Cualg had received some money from thread road for damages , and that ho had , will great economy , lived on It ever since. Me Cualg was In arrears with the Oxford nt th tlmo of his death $38 for board. As he ha no relatives In this country he will probably bo burled at the county's expense. mill ( Ittrcn Victoria.

Harbour' * Second Lecture ill UnitemitExtciiHlon Connie. The only regrettable feature about the lec ture In the university extension course , given by Prof. Edwin H. Barbour of the University of Nebraska at the Young Men's Christian association building last night , was the small attendance. The lecture was In language from which every technical and scientific term , Incomprehensible to the pop ular mind , had been excluded. It was illus trated by copious stereoptlcon views , which rounded out what the lecturer said. Prof. Barbour delivered the second lee- turo In the * course on geology , continuing the history of the world where he left off at the conclusion of his lecture a week ago. The subjo ct was ' 'The. Development of the World Under the Influence of "Later Forces. " The effect of wind and storm , and particu larly of water In Its various forms , upon the crust of the earth was described. The lecturer stated at the outset that the Inequalities on the surface of the earth had not been occasioned by internal upheavals , as Is popularly supposed , but that they could bo called wrinkles on its tace. These ele vations were at first rounded and smooth , but rain made the curves sharper. As tor rents , cascades and waterfalls were gradu ally formed they united In carving out the mountains , canyons and valleys. Butteg , natural bridges , gorges and other formations of rook were monuments of the force of water either In Its liquid form or as ice. In the same way water had cut out the caverns and caves and lined them with stalactites and stalagmites. Earthquakes , geysers and volcanoes were defined and their causes and effects detailed. The principal features of these phenomena were described and Illustrated. With Omaha Mnnlclann. The Omaha Llederkranz hall , Tenth and Farnam streets , will give tonight Its second entertainment of the season. Judging from the program arranged , it promises to be a very Interesting affair. Mr. Hans Albert will render several violin solos. Members of the society will sing , and a one-act comedy entitled "Sle Raucht Taback , " will conclude the program , to. be followed by dancing. J. E.

You are no doubt aware that o The Item of Fuel Is an Important One This being the case you should have coal that will produce the best results We are A making a leader of the , Genuine Santa Fe L Canon City Coal The nearest approach to anthracite of any coal mined in this country. It burns to a FINE ASH , is ABSOLUTELY CLEAN , and has the ENDURANCE. Recent government tests made in Washington , D. C , , show the Santa Fe Canon City Coal equally as pure and but a small per cent less in value than best of Pennsylvania anthracite. Our Canon City Coal , although superior in quality , will not cost you any more than other first-class coals being sold in Omaha , Our anthracite is the genuine Lehigh Valley. This coal is shipped to us direct from the mines and consequently is much superior to any dock coal brought to Omaha. Our Marquette ( Illinois ) Coal is carefully prepared and will give satisfaction for furnace and stove use. We also handle Rock Springs , Iowa , Missouri and Kansas Coals.
