' Tho'approaching nalo of the Union Pacific
railway , Its probable purchasers and
tbo likelihood of some changes in
the present management arc the
loplcd most discussed by local
nd other railroaders today. It ono listens
to everything said In connection with the
natter ono can got almost any conjecture ono
. wants or does not want , varying all the
way from the purchase of the Union Pacific
fcy the English owners of the Central Pacific
md a complete change to tbo purchase of
the Bystruii by the reorganization committee
followed by no changes at all ,
Evcb" railroad man Is making his own
guess on the future of the Union Pacific ,
and tUo excitement and small betting over
the election of the president of the reorgan
ized company In local railway circles arc not
onllkc that preceding the election of a
president of the United States. Clark Is
decidedly the favorite , though Winter Is a
close second and ono hears Mink's name
mentioned frequently by men who arc more
( than chief clerks. It Is practically conceded
that tbo reorganization committee Is going
to purchase the property , and the only big
question that remains to engage tbo atten
tion of these fond of predicting what will
happen Is the Identity of the new president.
IA man who Is very familiar with the work
of the reorganization committee said yes
terday : "I believe Mr. Clark will be the
( president If his health will permit. " That
is the concensus of opinion , and most railroaders
readers arc Inclined to believe Winter will
fcc offered the place should Clark not ac
cept It.
It.FUTURE
FUTURE OP KANSAS PACIFIC.
A query that baa agitated railway circles
for some tlmo Is the future of tbo Kansas
Pacific railroad , tbo Union Pacific's branches
In Kansas. The Kansas Pacific Is to be
old at a separate sale , which will be held
t Topeka. At Union Pacific headquarters
In this city It Is believed by those supposed
to bo In a position to know that the Gould
Interests will buy the Kansas Pacific and
( will operate It In the future In connection
( with the Missouri Pacific and Iron Moun
tain railway system. This , It Is argued , Is
the most natural division for the Gould and
iVanderbllt 'Interests , both of which are rep
resented In the Union Pacific reorganization ,
ito make.
The men who take this stand In their
predictions say that the Vandcrbtlts will
take the Union Pacific and operate It In
connection with their other railroad Inter
ests. It Is not believed that the Union Pa-
clflo will bo made a part of the Northwest
ern system , but will continue to bo oper
ated with clos3 tralllc alliances with the
Northwestern and with other Vanderbllt
railroads. It la pointed out that the Van-
derbllts , although they own railroads from
New York to tic Missouri river , have ai
rways run each rallroa4 separately , with
nothing more than close traffic connections
/with the other lines. The New York Cen
tral has close traffic relations with the
Lake Shore and with the Michigan Central.
! The Vanderbllt lines cast of Chicago llke-
nviso work closely with the Northwestern ,
this side of Chicago , but each Vanderbllt
railroad is operated separately. The Van-
Hcrbllts , It Is Bald , are convinced that this
Is the iicst way to operate a great railroad
eystcm. If this policy Is carried out the
Union Pacific , If secured by Uie Vanderbllt
( Interests , will continue to bo operated from
Omaha , but will have very clcso
traffic relations with the other Vanderbllt
pines" This view of the matter knocks out
RuT story that has extensively circulated
About n. continuous Vanderbllt line from New
fiTork to Ogdcn , known and operated as ono
railroad , but it is believed to bo the more
practical view of the matter. A prominent
official ot a VnmJerbllt line recently said the
( Union Pacific and tbo Northwestern would
Bcvcr bo operated as ono railroad , and many
other circumstances corroborate that state
ment. '
THURSTON GIVES HIS VIEWS.
J > rovldlng the Vanderbllts take the Union
Pacific for their share , It 1s thought to be
nn assured fact that the Gould Interests will
lake in the Kansas' Pacific. The latter rail
road could bo operated In connection with
Jtho Missouri Pacific's lines In Kansas much
moro profitably than as a branch of the
.Union Pacific , and thcro Is very llttlo doubt
In local railway circles but that such will
bo the case.
'Another evidence of the probability of the
purchase of the Union Pacific by the reor
ganization commlttoo cornea from Washing
ton in .tho form of on Interview with J. M.
fThurston , formerly general solicitor of the
.tlnlon Pacific and since then quite actlvo In
the government proceedings with relation
to that railroad , In which , ho says :
"Tho reorganization , committee of the
Union Pacific , should U purchase the 1,800
miles ot road comprising the system as at
present constituted for $50 000,000 , would be
compelled to put up nearly as much moro In
satisfying creditors on a par with the gov
ernment in its second mortgage. So far as
I am informed , there will bo no other bld-
'dcrs for the Overland property , notwithstand
ing the announcements that other Interests
contemplated entering the field against the
reorganization committee. I am not aware
of the details arranged between representa
tives of tha company and tbo government ,
( but bcllevo that whatever Is agreed to will
1)0 to tbo Interest of the government. " From
Senator Thureton it was learned that had not
nil of tbo first mortgage holders subscribed
to tlio reorganization committee's plan It
( would have been well nigh Impossible to
liavo secured the pledge of so largo an up-
ect prlco for the property , but the subscrip
tions have been made , and , having BO much
money In the property , It was almost im-
poratlvo that the bondholders should en
deavor to protect their holdings by an ad
ditional outlay ot money. When It Is con-
Bidcrcd that nearly $100,000,000 will bo neces
sary to bo paid" before the new company
can succeed to the property , the vastncss
of the sale on November 1 will bo appre
ciated.

I Thin Afternoon. I
The republican primaries to elect delegates
to the county nominating convention will beheld
held from 12 to 7 o'clock today , and
while there arc contests In a number of
wards that will make a lively competition ,
there are none which promise to leave
serious results after the struggle Is over.
In fact , ex number of the promised contests
have been amicably settled since the peti
tions were filed. In South Omaha the two
delegations got together Wednesday and
agreed on an adjustment of differences that
was satisfactory to all concerned and It Is
expected that the petition will bo amended
today to leave but ono delegation In thefield. .
The extra delegates In the First word have
also withdrawn , leaving but one ticket. Tbo
promised warm contest In the Third ward
Is also off , as the cxccutlvo committee re
fused to allow the names presented by the
faction headed by Richard Smith and Cap
tain O'Mallcy to go on the official ballot.
This was on account of a protest filed by
the opposing delegation and the evidence
produced before the committee showed that
several of the men who had signed the peti
tion were not legal voters In the ward and
several we.'o minors. As the result of an
other protcnt , the name of F. L. Smith has
been ruled off the Dalley delegation from
the Eighth ward. It being shown to the
satisfaction of the committed that Smith was
a resident of another ward.
These changes leave only four straight
contests before the voters. In the Fifth
ward thcro Is a contest between M. O. .Maul
and II. K. Burkct for the support of the
ward for coroner. In the ElghUi , Tom
Crocker and J. T. Dalley diavo each put up
a delegation In the Interest of the candidacy
of each for register of deeds , and In the
Ninth there Is a contest between n dele
gation that Is pledged to George C. Thomp
son for register of deeds , and another
which represents the candidacies of Joseph
Crow for county Judge and J. E. Van Glider
for county clerk. In the Second ward there
are four short delegations which represent
the candidacies of Fred Brunlng for regis
ter of deeds and F. W. Corliss and Gus
Harte for county commissioner. Harte's
candidacy Is supposed to be in the Interest
of another man.
PLANS OF THE SCHEMERS.
The contest In the Sixth ward Is a scheme
on the part of the Rcdfleld sympathizers to
got a few delegates Into the convention ,
While Rodfield realizes that ho has nothing
to hope for from .the republican party , he Is
anxloup to get a few of his henchmen seated
In the convention In the hope that they
will have an oportunlty to make some sort
of a gallery play on the strength of which
ho can claim some republican support. In
the Sixth ward hie ticket Is headed by Carr
Axford , who has enjoyed republican favors
as councilman , but Is put up by the A. 11. C.
club at the Inspiration of Redfield and his
friend , Wlnspear , In the Interest of the
popocratlc fusion ticket. The Redfleld crowd
IMS endorsed John McDonald for sheriff in
the expectation of being able to delude the
voters Into the belief that the delegation
was put up by him , but the handiwork of
the bolters Is too apparent and there Is every
Indication that the regular caucus ticket will
be elected by an overwhelming majority.
In the Seventh ward ono faction allowed H.
L. Day to name a delegation which Is to
support him for county Judge. Another ticket
IB composed of some of the leading citizens of
the ward , who , while not committed against
Jlr. Day , are pledged to support the ward
candidate for commissioner who Is endorsed
at the primaries.
Chairman Williams of the county central
committee calls attention to the fact that tbo
races at the State fair grounds during the
afternoon should not prevent any voter from
exercising his prerogative at the primaries.
He ureas the voters to vote as soon as pos
sible after the polls arc opened and then
they will have ample tlmo to go to the races
If they so desire.
Here are the tickets as they will appear on
the ballots :

Deputy ShcrlfT ICM-IK In IookliiK for
More iTriinlilr.
The lively tilt between Judge * Baker and
Scott over the mattcm of selling a portion of
the Hcspcler relate ito satisfy a claim may
result In some more complications ,
H will be remembered that Deputy Sheriff
Lewis was ordered to proceed with the sale
anil ordered to desist 'from It several times
by rctvectlvo orders from Judge Scott anil
Judge Baker , and was finally arrested and
arraigned before Judge Baker for contempt
of court In not returning the writ of execu
tion. After obtaining his rolexuo from arrewt
by returning 4ho writ to Jttdgo Baker the
deputy sheriff bustled out nnd sold the prop
erty In order to lessen his chances ot being
In contempt of Judge Scott ,
As the writ was taken away from him ,
however , Deputy Sheriff Lewis made the solo
without a writ , Tlrls fact 18 seized upon as
the main grounds upon which a motion has
been filed to set aside the rale. It Is also
stated that the sale was closed at 11:20 :
o'clock , ten minutes after the sale should
have been closed. The latter allegation Is
beginning tn make Deputy Lewis think that
ho Is In contempt of court again. After the
Incident ho was able to figure out that ho
might bo In contempt only twice , once In
contempt of Judge Scott for turning over to
Judge Baker the writ ot execution while he
was up for contempt before the latter , nnd
once for contempt of Judge Baker In that
ho wont ahead with the Kile after he was
charged to obey the order of Judge Scott.
He now begins to think that ho may also bo
In contempt of Judge Scott besides In not
giving up the writ to Judge Baker In order
that ho might make the Kilo In time.
The motion will probably come up before
Judge Scott on Saturday.

Yesterday Judge Scott laid down a now
rule governing tlio appraisement of property
In foreclosure cases , which requires that
the appraisement shall toke place In the
presence of the defendants In the suit. This
new order overthows an old custom that ( has
prevailed for years and which did not re-
qutro the presence of the defendants at an
appraisement.
In the past the appraisers wlio have been
appointed have been allowed to decide the
value of the property themselves. There
has consequently been considerable com
plaint , parties alleging that the appraisers
did not In many Instances obtain anywhere
uwr the actual value of personal property
particularly. This complaint was made In
a jiumher of cases that were up before
Judge Scott yesterday.
In commenting upon the complaint the
court stated that In thp future lie would
enter In each of isuch cases an order in
structing the appraiser to notify the de
fendants of the tlmo the appraisement waste
to take place In' order that the latter might ,
have an opportunityof Instructing the ap
praisers In the value of-the property.
In the cases before him Judge Siott set
aside tbo appraisements , disallowed the fees
of the appraisers and ordered new ap
praisements to bo made under the new rule.

OMAHA , Oct. 7. To the Editor of The Boo :
If our popocratlc friends would only keep
their fool mouths shut and their pens quiet
they would stand a bettor chance of electing
thelv many-horned 'candidate. The Nebraska
Independent , the chief oracle of fusion in
Xebiaska , dcllvc'ed the following In Its Issue
of September 30 :
"The man who will stay away from the
polls on election day and pick corn Is not
much of a patriot. He Is of little value to
hb party or country. He Is the sort of man
that It IP necessary to draft In time of war. "
The writer of the above 1ms probably been
born olncc wo have had war In this country.
At all events he has told a 'falsehood ' In that
statement. It reads as though It came from
the pen of a democrat of thirty-five years
aio , but the democrats of that date would
not repeat the folly In 1897.
The wrltei of this letter will "ylck corn
on election day. " When ho enlisted no
thought of drafting had been liearJ of In his
state. He left a wlfo and child and five times
as much Income as the government promised
him. That ho Is alive today to resent tlio
rlamlor of the Independent Is no fault of
such men as the man who wrote the slander.
There are many others who were soldiers
who will "pick corn on election day" and we
were and are "patriots , "
While we were soldiers wo obeyed orders
and saw muny of our comrades go down to
death because they obeyed the orders of some
fool ofllcerj but when the war clewed wo
took up our manhood and our right to use
our own Judgment , and ilo not admit the
light of any llttlo upstart , or old fogy , to
tell us when we may pick corn , or whom wo
must vote for.
In another place I have said the peoplo'a
party had no candidate for supreme ) Judge ,
and to bo forced to vote for a man not yet
with so much as one foot In the party , wo
will not. Is that plain ?
This Is a good time and plaeo to quote from
a democratic paper pulblshed In Omaha. It
has the same ring In It as > the quotation
from the Independent. You can find It on
page 4 of the World-Herald of November 18 ,
18U2. When It was known that Cleveland
had been clcctol that paper delivered Itself
as follows , speaking of the pensioiiR :
"Tho trrmnndoim hum ( $185,000,000) ) would
In itself bo enough to run a reasonable gov-
ornnu'ivt. Ono won Id'not complain If It were
an honeut debt , but u largo proportion IB
not -a. debt , because1 It was never earned by
any act of patriotism , nor he-role service. The
government Is held up and despoiled of no
mean portion of this , and It seems helpless
to defei'd ' lluclf. Ones cannot help being
curious to know how many moro years It
will take to fxliaimt the generation which
feeU Itself Injured by the war. It la .ifn to
say that never did a generation dleplay such
remarkable longevity. "
'llio popocrat of Lincoln has taken lessons
from older men and would , no doubt , be < glad
If the old fool Koldlcr would Ilo down nnd
die. Wo will In good time , but It will bo
better for our country If wo llvo long enough
to kill fusion and help to free our country
of political hosse'D.
No ono has ever accused the Independent
of being u populist , papur. Its \vhoU ? policy
has been to build up democratic Ideas , which
are well known to bo from twenty to fifty
years behlnl the times , There will bei lots
of corn picked on election day , and this not
brcaufco wo love the1 republicans moro , but
because wo refuse to build up 1111 old defunct
party that smells to heaven.
