RAILROAD STOCKS ADVANCE
Seouritiei of the Omaha Lines All Have an
Upward Tendency ,
ARE GOOD SELLERS ALL THE TIME

In the lull of railroad building , when new
Hues to the city are surveying their routes
nnd watching the movements of their more
or less Jealous competitors , the attention of
railroad officials Is occupied temporarily
with watching the New York stock market.
Just now the good railroad stocks are on the
high tldo of popularity , and those of the
roads coming to Omaha are along In the
front line of the procession. For Instance ,
the Northwestern stock Thursday touched
117U , which placed It third In the Hat of
quotations for that day. The first was the
Alton , at 169 , and the second the Delaware ,
Lackawanna & Western , at 157. The fourth
In the list was the Burlington , which
touched 140 , and closed at 130 % . The
Northwestern preferred stock reached the
gratifying figures of 190. Lake Shore stock ,
which usually ranks at the top of the list ,
was not sold Thursday , which removed It for
the time from the comparisons.
The figures reached by the Burlington's
stock arc as hlfiH. If not the highest , ever
attained by those securities. An Interesting
comparison can be made with the prlco In
1896 , during the week that Mr. Bryan visited
Madison Square garden to be formally noti
fied of his nomination for the presidency ,
when this same stock was sold for D3V4On
Wednesday 95,500 shares of Burlington stock
were sold on the exchange , which almost
equalled all the other transactions of the
day.
day.This big advance In the price of the Bur
lington stock , as well as In that of the other
roads , Is attributed by railroad men to two
causes. The first Is the general Improve
ment In the business of the country , which
railroads always feel first , and fnmi which
they receive among the first benefits ; and
the second la the stability of the bonds as
nn Investment , which Is an essential factor
wltU eastern people who have money to
put out in this manner.

When the Chicago special of the Union
Pacific arrived from the west yesterday
a little girl was put off at the depot to wait
for another train. She was Helen Meslget
of Hock Island and was about 10 years ol
nge. She had been traveling from Cali
fornia with her grandmother , Mrs. Rachel
Hose of Hock Island , when the latter died
on the train. She had not been 111 , so the
little girl said , but bad remarked that 11
she died she did not want to be burled while
the snow was on the ground. The two had
retired for the night In a Pullman car , when
the girl noticed that all was not right with
her grandmother and she called the atten
tion of the train crow. They discovered
that the woman was dead and the remains
were taken off at Reno , Nev. , where they
rworo embalmed and will be taken east
through Omaha this afternoon. The little
girl was sent east this atternoon over the
Hock Island , an uncle In the meantime hav

CoiiHtil nt Aiiln AVn One of the
I'lonccru of the Htntc.
The revolution at Samoa and the threat
ening International complications have
brought Into prominence the United States
consol at Apia , Luther W. Oeborne of Ne
braska. Osborno Is a pioneer of this state
and was appointed to Samoa two years ago.
He resided at Blair , Washington county , and
was a prominent republican. He was born
t Ithaca , N. Y. , and entered the union army
urlng the civil war. Whllo In front of
Ichmond with Grant he cast his first vote-
was for Lincoln for president. Later ho
fuelled law with Hon. George B. Bradley of
he court of appeals of New York at present ,
nd came to Blair In 1869. In 1873 Mr.
> sborno represented Washington and Burt
ounttes In the legislature. For a quarter
t a century he was regarded as one of the
eadlng lawyern of the state. In 1S76 ho
as'a delegate-at-large to the republican
atlonal convention.
Mr. Osborno Is an eloquent orator and a
man of great determination and courage.
Io was commander of the state department
f the Grand Army of the Republic and was
romlnent In the affairs of that organlza-
on for many years. He accepted the po-
Itlon at Apia for reasons of health and rec-
oatlcm as much as for anything else. Let-
era from the consul to Nebraska friends
t late Indicated that everything was quiet
n Samoa and gave no evidence of the pres-
nt turbulent conditions.
Those who know Mr. Osborne best are cer-
aln ho will carefully guard the Interests of
lie republic In that remote section of the
vorld and If necessary sacrifice his life In
ehalf of those he Is there to represent.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
'oMllile Fight Mny Be Precipitated
t the Next nefcnlnr Meeting of
the Board of Education.
It Is possible that at the next regular
meeting of the Board of Education , one
week from next Monday night , the expected
ght over the proposed new High school
ulldlng to be erected with the proceeds ol
he school bonds voted last fall will be
naugurated. At this meeting a resolution
may be Introduced ordering plans and specl-
icatlons to be drawn.
Any such measure as thla will start a
Ight , for there are two elements In the
x > ard , each having Ideas as to the sort of a
ulldlng that should be erected. One party
wants simply an addition to the present
ulldlng , while the other desires the new
tructure to be the beginning of an entirely
ow school , the present one to be torn down
nally. It Is Impossible to tell Just how the
ward members will line up on this proposl-
Ion.
"Nothing has been said about the plans ol
a new building because the board wanted
o be sure that the bonds would bo floated
all right , " said President Penfold of the
loard. "Next week the bonds will be reg-
stored with the state auditor and we expecl
to sell them before March 1. Therefore II
a about time that we began to talk aboui
he character or the building1 , einco we wan !
o commence Us erection as soon as pos-
Ible. I anticipate a fight over the kind of ;
itructuro to be put up and the board ought
o get this out of the way as quickly a :
possible. "

"Taxes are coming In much better thai
hey have for any year yet , " said Deputj
Treasurer Bryant , as he raked In a colleC'
Ion of some $15. "We cannot say Just wha
our collections have been until we complcti
our semi-annual statement , upon which wi
are now working , but from the business w <
seem to be doing this month , compared wltl
a year ago , I believe people are paying ui
, helr taxes much more lively. Some of thi
taxes extend back a great many years
These are , of course , added In with all thi
collections for the six months , so that ther
Is no way of tolling Just how much of th
levy has come In.
'It Is hardly likely that half of the lev ;
could have been collected , for that would b
a most unusual thing , and It Is much to
early to expect anything like that , but , 01
the whole , we feel Justified In caylng tha
people are paying their taxes better tha
they have ever been known to before. "

ASM BATTERY GOES HOME
New York Boya Who Fought at Manila Pass
Through Omaha ,
EIGHTY-TWO MEN ARE NOW IN THE PARTY
rive Klllrd nnil Eleven Wounded In
the Fl ht Prior to the Sur
render of the
Stroii ifhold.
With wreaths of honor which they bear
meritoriously , yof with most becoming mod-
sty , the members of the Astor battery of
New York City passed through Omaha yes-
crtlay on the Burlington No. 6 , on their
> ay home , where they will render to the
rlcnda who sent them an account of their
iovMirdshlp , and be mustered from the
crvlco which they have honored by their
participation.
Many of the members of the battery arc
men of wealth , or sons of wealthy parents ,
et they did not forget they were soldiers ,
and preferred to forego the conveniences of
ravel which they were able to command ,
and accepted that which the government fur
nishes nil of Its men , regardless of social
> osltlon. They traveled In two tourist
sleepers , with a baggage car In which was
carried their freight and rations. Few , If
any of the members , had anv more money
with them other than that wnlch was Issued
jy the commissary department In commu
tation of rations , but their pride In their
service would not permit any of them to
.clegmph to New York friends for an ad
vance In a financial way. They subsisted
on their hard tack , baked beans , corned beef
and tomatoes , with their 21 cents each per
day for coffee money , which was spent re
ligiously for tliat purpose at the lunch coun
ters along the way.
There were eighty-two members of the
battery on the train. They were In charge
of Captain , March. When they left New
York last summer the command was com
posed of 103 members. Five of them were
tilled In the battle previous to the surrender
of Manila , and eleven were wounded. It
was In this battle where the battery gave
such a good account of Itself , and caused the
commanding general to mention the or
ganization In his report to the War depart
ment. The battle occurred amidst a heavy
rain , and the story of the loss of a part of
the battery and Its prompt recapture at
tended by dire results to the enemy is a
matter about which the members bad little
to say , being parties of the first part , but
It Is a story which has been well and truly
told In the official reports from Manila.
Saved Their Mnacot.
Accompanying the members of the party
Is a fox terrier , whoso person Is guarded as
carefully as If It were a treasure of price
less worth. It Is the center of a touching
romance. From the nature of the organiza
tion , formed as It was largely from the
social field of New York , It was natural
there should be some little romance attached
to It and the dog represents one of these
stories , being the only one , possibly , where
subsequent events brought the circumstances
to light , while there are doubtless a score
which will forever remain , uncovered b >
publicity.
When the battery left home this fox
terrier was presented to the first sergeant ol
the organization by a young woman In New
York. He carried It with him to Manila and
hU comrades respected the sentiment whlct
they believed It signified. But the flrsl
sergeant was one of the five who gave up
their lives In the attack upon the Philippine
capital. While he yet had strength enough
to talk one of the few things which occurred
to him was the care of the brute friend
which had become attached to him , nol
only because of Its donor , but through tht
associations of the long journey. He re
quested hU friends to care for the animal
and If they ever returned to New York tc
take the dog with them and deliver It tc
the young woman who gave It , as all he hat
to send as a memento of his life.
This dying request the members of the
battery are fulfilling to the letter and ol
the eighty-two men now homeward 'bound
each counts the party as eighty-three , the
fox terrier being considered the representa
tive of the absent non-commissioned ofilcei
a spiritual part of the organization.
The soldiers have had a pleasant Journej
so far across the country and have re >
celvod much attention at all the point !
where their train stopped long enough t <
permit It. They are glad they are so noai
home and make no hesitation In saylnt
they have had enough of the Philippines
adding that they also believe the govern'
meat will have enough of them , too , If I
attempts to annex them or to govern them
