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

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

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.

MAKING OP THIS OLD EARTH.
I'rctf. 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. Butler will give the fourth and last

excellent essays upon the lives of Irving ,

\lthougli these subjectB ure BO familiar nnd
so often treated , the author has succeeded
n Catherine much material that la remark

low thPHO men lived and thought and
abored , but In bringing clearly Into light
hu peculiar circumstance * of tempera-

or each to bear his peculiar part In the
world's strife.
A vein of keen philosophic Insight per

As a book for young people , especially as

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.
Our prices are as low as the lowest. It is said that a new broom sweeps clean. It
