has been much gossip about th
future railroad career of S. II. II. CUr
since tliu election of Itoraco 0. Hurt t
uccoed him a president of the Union Pa
cine railroad. Sumo of his friends In till
city have argued that hU InlUicncu woul
continue to ba' felt In Union Pacific affairs
even though he should /iut fill tbo president'
chair. These people malnUln that Mr. Clar
loprcacnts and will continue to repretcn
tlic financial Interests at the Oould famll
In Union Pacific affairs just as much as h
ever has and that while not priMldcnt b
will still hare much to say In the working
of the reorganized rnllroitl. Some say tha
ho will bo elected president of the MUsour
Pacific at the next annual meeting of th
hoard of Olrcctotu , whllo others Ucclar
that Mr. Clark will never take up actlv
railroading again. Ills sou Hoxlc , who wn

thoao points. The only thing known dcfl
iiltcty is that 'Mr ' , Clark er. | > ects to spent

nanatlon of many utorlca of the king 'whoso

Mr. Clark was a' very good friend o
Omaha , and constantly had Ita best Inter

a. single thing ho ever did for Omaha , " bit
they overlook the ( act of the Union Paclfl
lerolvorshlps and fall to note the obstruc
tions In thu way of any building or llbcra
nubscrlptlon to laudable enterprises. Mr
Clark for years cherished the hope of seeing
the construction of a grand union dcpo
at Ninth and F. rnam atioets In this city
The building of a handsome structure c.i
pablo ot accommodating every railroad in
tbo city of Omaha and providing adequate
terminal facilities for the passenger trains
entering and leaving Omaha for many year'
to comi ! was one of the fondest hopes of tin.
man who upuntil the advent of Mr. Uur
hua presided over the destinies of the Unloi
1'itclfle railroad. That circumstances over
which ho hid no control made Impossible
the achievement at this enterprise during
Ills term as president of the Unloh Paclfli ,
was a source of deep regret to him. He said
fco many times , and one of the last inter
views ho gave to an Omaha reporter was
largely occupied with remarks about the
neeJ of a union depot hero , the dcslrabilltj
of Its location at Ninth and Karnnm street
and kindred topics , which Mr. Clark re-
Borvctl with the Injunction , "this Is list for
publication , but for your own Information.1
Should the now regime , which will come ii
with the Inauguration of President-elect
Hurt solve the great question of adequate
terminal facilities for Omaha by the erec
tion of a grand union depot at Ninth and
Parnam streets It la doubtful K there would
be anyone applaud the action more warmlj
and more sincerely tlmu S. II. H. Clark.
HE KNEW HIS MEN.
The. Union rViclflc has had cix prcoldents ,
and the seventh Is now engaged In a trip ol
Inspection over the lines ol the company
familiarizing himself with the property ,
preparatory to assuming active charge. Hut
none of thcae presldenpls ever enjoyed tnt
extensive acquaintance among the employes
of the oarapany. that Mr. Clark had. Having
worked up to the president's chair .through .
all the olilccs of the operating dej--.rtment It
Is not strange that he should 1-now all the
older employes along the line and msat o !
thp older trail hands , lie not only knew
.them , but ho knew them well. He always ad.
< lie. se < l tbc'ii by their Christian mines , and
In Q number of coses was sutllclently well
acquainted with the men and their famllic.i
to ask after a favorite daughter , or how the
head cf the famliy liked the new home Into
wlilcji he had Juot moved. It was no unusual
sight to sen the president get out of his
private tor ot one of the statlor.3 along the
lltir- , and shake hands with from a dozen tea
a score of engineers , llreuien , conductor ! ! ,
br.-ikemcn. switchmen and section foremen ,
calling the ones whom be had known for a
long tlmp by their Christian named and giv
ing them all some kindly greeting. AH with
tlio train hands , so It was with the older In-
hltiltantH of the towns that spring up along
the line of "the Overland Route ; " they all
knew Mr. Clark , and when they heard that
ho was coming through they would line up
at the station to shake hands with him and
enjoy a few minutes' chat with the genial
old Keltic-man.
Mr. Clark not only knew many of the
15.000 employes along the main line , and the
majority of those employed In the Nebraska
uivuioms , out ho enjoyed their respect and
confldcnce. If an employe tad a grcvnce. !
real or Imaginary , ho could alwaja depend
upon a hearing before the president , and If
there was a wroig : It was generally righted.
I10\V CASRY GOT A PLACE.
One Instance will Illustrate the generous
feelings Mr. Clark entertained for the men
who had grown up en the Unl < : IMcldc sys
tem and given their best Cays to Its work. A
couple of years ago Micro \va.3 an [ rtahman
noowhar over 60 years of age who had
worked fr many years In the operating de-
I'jrtmtijt of the company. Ills rame was
Patrick Casey. He Ion iho positica fro hold
for many yors through a continued 'Illners '
mid on recovering from h's Illness found that
his pltoo had been filled by a younger and
mora active man. He went ta Qt'.icral
Superintendent Nlcacln and told him that ho
wanted a pooltlon ao v.utchman for the Union
IMclflc Homewhcro In Omaha. TJie general
impel Mtcndurit told him ho would like to glvo
him such a job , but ho couldn't because there
was not a sVglo vacancy and there didn't
appear to bo any places that were likely to
become vacant. Then Casey struck out for
the omco of Superintendent of Special Service
Caii'-da. Ho nuewed his application , but Mr.
Canada told him. that tthero waan't n tiling in
flight and advised him to seethe general
Biiperlntenilci.t. Off trotted Cauey to Mr.
Nichols * olllcu again and ho spent the best
l irt of n iiKtith traveling between the ofllcoa
of thcKC two olllelula , demanding u position
as watchman. No'hlng more was heard of
Casey for'several mor.tha. at least not by t-ho
two ofUclaU named , Finally one of them went
( to the local freight hoiuo of the company
nod ubcut the flret n n ho ua\v was Casey ,
who was strutting up and down the platform ,
with Ms ahest thrown out , keenly watching
in-ery piece of freight about the place. As
Hho oindal passed Casey the latter aald :
"Well , you see , don't you ? "
"Eco what , Pat ? "
"Ah , you see I've fiot me Job as wotchmin.
ilon't ycu. And bivo you goi n mind how I
got It ? No ? Well , I'll tell you , after rm-
n IV a month between you and 'Mister ' Nlcholq
1 made up mo mini I'd see the old man him
self. So I goen to him and I eiya , 'Mister
OViirk , I want a Job a watchman. You know
how long I've worked for the U. P. And I
lost mo job while I wa.i sick. Now I am
lier.o 'cause I couldn't wear out any moro
shoo IcMther < i-trotllug between Nichols tnd
C'anady. ' Tim old ir.an wrlttd mo a dinky

intrnln' . You oce how It happened , don't
you ? Well , git alms iow and don't be a-

DILL KKLLY'StfWACK.
If Mr. Clark took a personal Interest In the
r.ovoral thousand men under him It wea because -

hccatiso ha affected any knowledge ot their
careers Just whllo they were talking to him.
If ho knew a man Veil enough to call him
liy his Christian name when he met him
ho know just as well when ho waa several
thousand miles awiy. The attaches of the
Union Pacific toll ono story on Mr. Clark ,
In which his acquaintance with ft flection
foreman , was rather neatly turned 'by ' an
other foreman. An employe of the name of
1)111 ) Kelly had liotn dUmlss\l from the
Union Pacific because of a too * reat love
ho bore for the flowing J > owl , After bo had
duly repented and had greatly braced up
Mr. Clark secure * ! him a position on the
Jron Mountain railroad In the southern part
ot Missouri. A few months later Mr. Clark
was taking a trip over the Iron Mountain
and met Kelly. Ho was delighted with the
laltcr'p go3 < l appearance and the re-ports of
excellent conduct that came from Kelly's
superiors. When Mr. Clark returned to Ne-
br.-.ikc , ho met Pat Touey , who -waa Kelly's
bosom frltml here. Ho aU : "Pit , I s.uv
your oU friend Kelly whllo I was down In
Missouri and he acnt IfU rejjarJs to you. "
'Oh , did ho ? Thank you. Mister Clark ,
and how Is Kelly makln' It ? "
'Tine , Pat. Kelly ho ? Rot a goad Job ;
, ho has braced up wonderfully.and has quit
drinking altogether. "
Pat Touey looked nonplussed for a mlnuto ,
and when ho could find voice he salJ : "So
Kclly'n dead , Is he ? "
COMPLIMENT FP.OM THE COURT.
Probably the most graceful nndbest de
served compliment ever paid a railroad man
by a court was that which wa.s pronouncei
.by Judge Caldwell In 'this ' city during th
hearing of the famous wage schedule. To ;
tlmony was being given regirtilm : the wor
nnd the wngog of the employes ot the Ur.lo
Pacific system. After a number of em
ployes had 'testified S. H. H. Clark , the pros
Idcnt , via called to the eland. The attor
ncys waited for the court to administer th
usual oith required of the witnesses. Hu
Instead of 'being ' sworn Mr. Clirk was give
a mopt unexpected compliment , but ono tha
has never been forgotten In railway circles
Judge Caldwell merely said : "The oat
will not bo administered to Mr. Clark. II !
WON ! In entirely acceptable to thtj court. "
Mention lias .been . made of the case wit
which employes could see the pcojlden
ami enjoy a personal Interview with him
Emoloycs of the company were not the enl
ones who could readily gain access to th
president during Mr. Clark's regime. Whll
Mr. Clark never allowed himself to bo ovar
run 'Wllh visitors , thcso who had 'gcod rca
non for seeing him were rarely disappointed
To reporters ho wj * 'always agreeable , am
so far as war In his power he .wan ahvay

Brush , being asked today It hefor hb own
account , or for hi * frlenSa , had purchaaeJ
the St. L6uls base ball club , replied that
"neither himself nor his friends had bought
the property. " Being asked If there wore any
prefects of such a purchase rn the part ot
himself or hU friends , he replied emphati
cally that there wna not. Hclng further
piOteif to explain his recent visit to St. Louis ,
and Mr. Von Der Ahe' visit to Indlttiapolls ,
ho aald :
"Karly In December Mr. Von Der Abe ap
pealed to me for financial aid. Upon his
statement end showing I endeavored to
handle a loan that would place him upon bli
feet again , but found It Impossible and Im
practicable to do. Ho then offered the club
for sale. I Eccurcd if or htm a prospective
purchaser In Dlckson & Talbott of this city ,
who were willing to buy hlj club If It could
be delivered to them free of lucumbrance at
their price.
Dlckson & Talbott , whllo having ao Im
mediate experience In ba.se ball , are undoubt
edly well qualified to succeed In. . this enter
prise If they should engage In It ; they nru
endowed with the dual requisites , ability and
money. While It Is true a local syndicate
has long been organized In St. Louis to
purchase the franchise at figures which have
been made public , Messrs Dlckapa and Tai-
lott l.avo been In no asnso competitors In
their negotiations' ' . They have only entered
the field when Invited to do so , which has
been on several occasion , and have always
retired whenever Impracticable barriers
arose , or condition Imposed which rendered
it Impossible to cont'nue negotiations.
"The financial af.'alrs of the club are In
such condition It. Is going to bo n very dif
ficult matter for anyone to buy and get a
clear and unlncumbercd tltje. Suits , judg
ments , mortgages , claims ( known and un
known ) , make It extremely hazardous lo
buy , and the refusal of Dlckson & Talbotl to
longer consider the matter 13 duo to thl
fact. "
"You are criticised In some quarters for
connection with this matter , upon the ground
that you are buying the club on your own
account , and Dlckson & Talbott do not rep
resent their financial interests. "
"Yea , I know ; but that makes no differ
ence to me alnce It Is wholly and absolutely
untrue , I have an Interest In the welfare ot
the National league. My deslro to foster end
promote Its best welfare may not bo any
greater than that ot my partners in other
leaguecltita , but I do feel that It Is. St.
Louis has been the disappointment ot the
present oi-ganlzallon. Any change that will
Insure the redemption of St. Louis to Us
proper place In the front rank of base ball
cities ought to have the encouragement nnd
support of every magnate In the National
league.
"Anything that I may do within the lines
ot legitimacy to accomplish thla I will do
regardless of the criticism of the few whose
stock In trade consists mainly of Jealousies
and revenge. The National league owes It
to Itaclf to furnish whatever issistnnce It
may , consistent with the propriety. In re
storing St. Louis to something like Us for
mer prestige on the base ball map.
"Mr. Vcn Bcr Aho asked me for assistance.
Dlckson & Talbott invited mo to aid them
My efforts have simply been in the interests
of both , and ultimately for the general good
of the National league. "

ST. LOUIS , Jan. 9. James J. Corbctt and
Ills theatrical company opened the week here
tonight. When Corbott was Informed that
Fltzalmmons tonight agreed to algn articles
with him provided he first whips Peter
Maher , he said : "That's the same old story.
Ho wants to sidetrack mo onto somebody
else , which ho can never do. I am not going
to tire the public by having further talk.
There Is nothing new ! n this proposition.
What I will do will be stated distinctly on
January 17 , when I will lasuo a final chal
lenge which will atartle the sporting world.
It will contain a proposition never before
heard of by any pugilist. I ilon't know
whether I can whip anybody else In the
world , but I do know I can whip Fltzslm-
mons. If ho does not accept thla final chal
lenge from me I will retire from the ring
and never talk fight to anybody again , but
wilj study for the stage and stick to It. The
one thing constantly before me la to fight
Fltzslmmons , and If he won't accept my
liml challenge January 17 , then I will know
HI Is done and then I am done. "

Bob Fltz.ilmmons and Manager Mwtln Julian
vlth the statement that he would see wSaat
he could do with Corbctt and Maher , as the
necessary step toward bringing oft a fight
between Corbett anil Fltzslmmons.
Mr. Stuart arrived on the noon train from
Chicago and Immediately sought to opea
communication with Martin Julian , who later
called on Stuart and talked icattcra ever In
an Informal way. Jullaji said that Fltzslm-
motifl did nat have to fight , and would only
glvo Corbett another chance after ho had dls-

the Polled Angus and his lots will be very
heavy. The disease afflicts thcso high bred
cattle , AS well as those ot the common
stock.
About five weeks ago ho first notice ! that
something wag the matter with his stock ,
The earliest symptoms are a weakness In
the hind parts ami a tenderness In the
hoofs. Soon decay sets In and In the course
of about three weeks the hoot has mini-
clrntly pitted- ( is to fall cff nt the first
joint , The rotting continues until the second
end joint has fallen away. Nor does 1
cease hero , but continues even Into th
bones of the limbs. However , when thl
stage Is rpachcd the cattle are In n help
llMa condition aud , as death Is only a qucs
tlon of time , they nro killed.
Ono peculiarity of these diseased cattle
and very uncommon as to the general nature
anil symptoms of diseases Is that al
throughout they have a very good appetite
clear eyes , and every Indication ot health.
There seems to bo nothing that will cun
It or stay Its fatal progress. To the em
that the nature ot the disease might bo
studied and a cure established , iMr. Hodgcrs
wrote to the State University * ttgrlcultura
department to have the state veterinarian
Investigate the same , but learned that this
official position had been dispensed with.

AMUSEMENTS.
The nopul.ulty ot lho Woodward company
was attested ami the success of thp newly
Inaugurated season of low prices nt the
Crolghlon fully npstired on two occasions
yesterday when upwards of fi.OOO delighted
people witnessed enjoyable performances of
the war drama , "Lynwood , " anil nome very
clever ppeclaltles between nets. The enormous
crowds were handled with expert facility ,
the problem ot expedition being practically
solved by railing off a rcpnrato entrance for
holders of tickets to the balcony , which ob
viates much of the crowding at the doors.
"Lynwood" Is the credltabln production of
one J. 1C. Tlllotson , nnd concerns events of
the late civil war. As presented hero , It calls
for the full strength of the Woodward com
pany anil serves to Introduce to the local
public the new leading man , Mr , Fulton , In
the strong role ot Victor Blanchard. He
given ovldcnco of excellent ability , which ,
coupled with a fine stage presence and mani
fest Intelligence , will certainly make him a
prlmo favorite and a valuable member ot
the organization. Another new comer , Mr.
Warren , also makro a favorable Impression.
Mr , Livingstone , who has the direction ot
the stngo this season , brings the eminent
sincerity of his style to bear upon the un
grateful role of Dudley .Mlddloton , Mr. Rush
la deservedly popular In Omaha and makes
his accustomed hit In the now character of
Eponutim Carter. .Mr. . Emory doubles tbo
nmall part of Edwin with the somewhat
larger ono of ( he sentinel , the latter ot
which ho doeo particularly well. Mr. Davla
la careful nnd painstaking , as usual , In the
clmrnctcr of the negro servitor , nnd Mr.
Schroth plays a confederate captain with good
effect.
MIsB Ernest Invests the exacting role ot
Luollld Catlylo with genuine strength acid
true feeling. U Is n pleasure to bear wltnesa
to the notable artistic growth ot this eon-
sclcnllous actress since her last appearance
here. Indeed , the results of bard work auJ
Intelligent endeavor are apparent In the
marked development of every member of the
comrany. Mlso Montgomery , who already
gives evidence of a high order of ability , has
n better epportunlty In "Lynwood" than she
sometimes enjoys , and she improves It very
creditably. Miss Cloro Is always charming
and has a fetching ingenue role in the play
now under dlscusslca , which also affords Miss
Carl ton a chance to show that she need not
confine hccselt exclusively to the eccentric
character parts with which she has hitherto
been chiefly Identified. All the members ot
the company were heartily welcomed by the
friendly audiences.
The specialties ace extraordinarily good.
The .little . Japanese wire-walker , whose thrill
ing act waa a fc.ituro of cne of the circuses
which showed- here last summer , slides back
ward IVom tbo topmost gallery to the stage ,
besides doing other curious featw on the slack
wire. The turn of the Datum brothers Is a
remarkable exhibition of strength and agility ,
\\lilh must be seen to bo fully appreciated.
Inabollc Urquhart , with two male associates ,
pra-ents , very acceptably , a pretty one-net
comedy , "In Durance Vile. " These adjuncts
to the cegukir theatrical pcrformancca maybe
bo seen nil this week. When the real ex
cellence of the whole entertainment becomes
generally known , It Is certain that the
Crelghtontheater will not hold lho crowds
who will wish to see them ,
"Lynwood" will be t'.io bill up to and In
cluding Wednesday night. For the last half
of the week "Jim , the Westerner , " will be
presented.
It has been found necessary to omit the
matinee perfot nuance of "The Lady of Lyons"
from Mr. Sothern's engagement this week ,
which will , therefcco , remain as originally
announced , "The Adventure of the Lady
Ursula" being presented on Monday aud
'Lord Chumley" ou Tuesday might.
Ttie farce comedy , "A Boy Wanted , " which
s no strangcc to Omaha , will be the attrac
tion at Boyd's the last half of the present
week.

regarding no unhappy condition. The
womnn was found by Annie Whiteft nclRh-

tnys thnt Mrs. Johnson confessed to her the
npproachlng birth of a child , whoso fathc !
she said was Sandstrom , and that she furthc
said tbat unless her trouble was In some way

Sandatrom made a call , ns usual , yestordny
afternoon , but no cno answered his knock ,
Ho returned again nbout 7 o'clock , nnd th
co still seemed dcacrtod , ho suspected
that something was wroni ? . He summoned
Annie White , who occupies nn adjoining' flat
end an effort was made to open the door.
The noise alarmed the child ot Mrs. John
son , who had apparently been asleep , and sin
began to cry. She wns asked wliccc hei
mother was nnd gave the answer , "Mamma
U asleep , and 1 > cnn't wako her. "
The door was then forced and the body
ot Mrs. Johnson wtiti found close- against the
door , lying face downward. There wns
slight peal ot blood near the head nnd n
slight tirulso upon the forehead , where 1
had struck the floor an the woman fell , np
