Wednesday the regular meeting ot the
Hoard of Directors of tlio Chicago. Hurling-
ton & Qulncy Hnllroad company was held
nt Ilnston , nnd in that connection n promi
nent railroad ranti In this city sold that
importnnt chaiiBCfl In the managing officials
of the Burlington system uro nhotit to take
plarc According to his statement thcso
changes are no less than the retirement of
President C. 12. Perkins ; the elevation of
the second vlro president , George II. Harris ,
formerly n Nebraska railroader , to the
presidency ; the oleotlon of George W.
HoldroRC of Omiiha as second vlco president
nnd manager of the operating department
of the syBtcm , and T. K. Cnlvort of Lin
coln. superintendent of the I ) . & M. , to bo-
comn general inanaecr to succeed Mr.
JloldrrRo.
Changes In nny con > oratlon on the scale
mentioned hero nro much too Important tote
to aorrptcd off-hand , and tun railroad man
was asked for proof of hla statement. Ho
then wont more Into detail of conditions
upon -which ho 1)iiscs his hollof that the
changes nro coming , and the gist of his
reasoning U ns follows :
The position of chairman of the Board ot
Directors of the Darlington road Is vacant ,
nnd has been for several months. For some
years the management hns had an unsat
isfactory experience trying to nil this place ,
eo much BO that since the present vacancy
was created the corporation has been In
no great haste to 1111 It. 1'resldont Perkins
Is getting well along in years , nnd whllo
his faculties for railroad management are
not Impaired , It Is known he desires to ro-
tlro from nctlvo work. As chairman of the
lloard of Directors , a position ho will as-
Bumolthln a tow weeks , his counsel and
experience will still bo at the service of
the corporation without the responsibility
of management resting upon his shoulders.
At Till * Hurt < > f < 1iu Iiliie.
The railroad man then turned his atten
tion to this end of the line and recalled the
fact thnt n few weeks ago 0. W. Ilhodes
was sent to Nebraska to take the position
of assistant superintendent of the II. & M.
No Htich position over previously existed In
the management of thla road. Mr. Ilhodes
had been up till that tlmo superintendent
of motive power nnd machinery with the
Burlington , his headquarters being nt
Aurora , 111. It was an Important position
and ono where ho was master of his depart
ment , yet It was given out that ho gave up
that place to accept a less responsible ono
whcro ho would bo second In authority. The
Inference to bo drawn Is that Mr. Rhodes
expects to become superintendent within a
short tlmo nnd after ho has familiarized him
self with the Nebraska lines. The promotion
of Mr. Calvcrt to succeed Mr. Holdrego will
leave the vacancy for Mr. Hhodes.
"Possibly these changes may not be
made , " continued the railroader , "until next
Bummer , at the annual stockholders' meet
ing , but I believe matters are shaping them
selves to that end even now and that they
received some consideration at the meeting
of the directors In Liostou Wednesday.
"As to the Nebraska men Interested In
these changes , It is known that Mr. Holdrege
might have had n higher position on the
Burlington long ago luul not the needs ot
the II. & M. nnd hie own large personal In
terests In the west required him to remain
nt his post In this state. The former have
about all been met and It Is believed ho has
about arranged the latter so that they will
not demand so much of his personal atten
tion. "

1'ooplo living in the western portion of
the city and employed at South Omaha are
contemplating some action which may in
duce the Missouri Pacific to put on a local
train between Omaha and South Omaha for
their accommodation. Local olllclals of the
road have been waited on and asked the
prospects for such a train , and they have
replied that If n good Knowing Is mad * ) by
those Interested In the service the company
may be Induced to Investigate the feasibil
ity of the project. The r.ill'oal nvsn cug-
Bcst that the question nf expense Is the Item
most to bo considered nnd If this Is found
to bo within reason the service asked may
ho granted. The interested parties are now
thinking of preparing a petition to the su
perintendent of the road requesting that
the train bo established.
The company hns u switch cnglno con
stantly employed between the two cltlos ,
anil n couple coaches could easily bo get
aside for the use of the train. The plan con
templates a train to South Omaha In the
morning and returning in the evening.
The advocates of the noiv sorvlco iillego
that at present It requires a double faro to
get to South Omaha by street car , to say
nothing of the length of tlmo consumed In
making the trip. They Bet up further that
if the train Is established , with Its quicker
nnd more direct service , many men em
ployed in South Omaha nnd now living In
oilier portions of this city will seek a resi
dence in Walnut IHI1 and on the west Bide ,
where they can have thu benefit of thla
train , and they may , too , moro generally
bcttlo In the northern part of the city , as the
Missouri Pacific tracks make a half circle
about the town and would reach all those
points.

The bnckers of the proposed Sioux City

taking advantage of the privilege accorded
them by congress to have n right of way
through the \Vlnno1 KO and Omaha Indian
reservations. 13. P. Reynold * , Jr. , of Wy-

V. Wakeficld of Sioux -City , acting for the
company , Wednesday entered Into n
contract with the Wlnnobago In
dians for rightof way through
Iho allotted nnd tribal lands on the
reservation for the nlr line road which
the company proprses to build from the
Nebraska end of the combination
bridge nt Sioux City to Omaha.
The contract price agreed on was
$ S.SO per acre. The road will strike the
northern line of the reservation near Wil
liam McNatnnrn's place nt Btyburg and , fol
lowing the river , will cut through a corner.
The entire distance of the line In the reserve -
servo will bo eighty miles.
After congress hag granted n charter tea

vation It U necessary then to pay the Indi
ans for their land. Individual settlements
must bo made for land which has been
nlottod , for tribal or unallotted land settle

No AVoril from Ilo
The offices of the Rock Island and the
Northwestern In this city have received no
word from headquarters of the respective
roads relative to the taking off of the fast
passenger trains , but the officers hellovo this
action Is to be taken. That Is that the Hock
Island train will bo abandoned and an ex
clusive fast mall train operated Instead ,
and the Northwestern train's tlmo length
ened out to where It was before the cut.
The tlmo for the change Is fixed for next
Sunday , after which a twelve-hour passen
ger service between the two cities will
bo only a memory. The severest dis
appointment connected -with the new con
ditions comes to the people of Lincoln and
Kansas City , who liad expected to have a
new fust train service connecting those two
iralnia , It being on the now schedule re
called by the Burlington pcoplo Thursday.
TnlU of 11 Short Mnc i\tuiiHloii.
It Is generally accepted ns true In Salt
Lake City that the Oregon Short Line Is to
build a road to Los Angeles , thus giving It
an outlet to the coast , nnd also furnishing
the Union Pacific a through line. A now
company has been Incorporated In Nevada ,
known ns the Utah , Nevada & California ,
the purpose of which Is to build the line
mentioned. According to Salt Lake papers
the Incorporators are nearly all clerks In
the general offices of the Short Line , and the
story Is given color by the fact that the line
has been under consideration for several
years. It Is said that work on the now
road will bo commenced when the Utah &
Pacific completes Its road to Statcllne , about'
next June. President Burt of the Union Pa
cific , when asked about the matter , said he
knew nothing of It whatever.
New 1C n nl n CN for Short Iiliip.
James K. Dunn , superintendent of motive
power nnd machinery for the Oregon Short
Line , has just authorized the statement that
the eight new ten-wheel engines recently
ordered by the company will arrive at Salt
Lake within a few days ; that the six
twelve-wheelers and ten more ten-wheelers
will follow in short order , which with the
three big consolidation engines will make
twenty-seven Improved locomotives which
the road adds to Its equipment. The com
pany has also contracted for new sleepers
and other equipment for passenger trains ,
the latter comprising two diners , three chair
and three composite buffet , adding ma
terially to the convenience nnd elegance of
the service on that road.

He Klleil AKlllllHt Him.
The Investigating committee ot the Board
of Education la still waiting for some fort
ot a response from Member Van Glider In
answer to the accusations th.it were rondo
against him In Its report ten days ago. Ac
cording to Mr. Van Ollder , It Is likely to bo
kept watting some time longer unless it
takes n little moro cner cl' ' action against
him by tiling formal charges.
Accompanying Its ropurt the committee
filed with the secroUry of the board the
sworn evidence of wilw'F.'iis to substantiate
the charges made. It also say.-s that It has
served notice upon Van ( illdcr to appear
before It for purposes ot defense if he
\\lslics. Member Van Glider declares that
ho has not seen the charges yet , nor has he
received such notice to appear.
"I'll pay no attention to the alleged ovl-
d < , 'iico the committee has filed , " Van ( llldui
says. "I want the committee to do exactly
as It required mo to do In connection will :
the American Book company Invojitlgatlon-

SALE OF HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
OiMcluIn I'-tpect to Sec SccurltlCH
Ilrliijc 11 nouil I'rlcc AVIu-u Of
fered Xext , Momliiy.
Next Monday afternoon bids will bo opened
at the oflleo of the secretary of the Board of
Education for the $250,000 High school bonds
that have been put upon the market , but
upon which no bids have been recjived.
There Is no significance In this , however , for
bond buyers rarely put In their bids until
very shortly before the sale is to occur , In
order to enable them to take advantage of
every condition of the bond market. Secre
tary Glllan looks for many bids and both
ho and Treasurer Edwards expect that the
bonds will bo disposed of at a good premium.
This confidence la the result ot the cx-
cellont standing of Omaha bonds in the mar
kets. According to the Now York Financial
Chronlclo , which Is the financial authority
of the country , the following prices are be
ing asked for Omaha bonds this month :
Six per cent , duo October , 1S99 . . . . . $1.01
Five per cent school , duo IMS 1.00
Five per cent funding , due 1905 1.07
Five per cent paving1 , ehort time 1.07
Flvo per cent city hall , due 1)12 ! ) 3.13
Four nnd one-half per cent , due 1917. . . . 1.12
Four and one-half per cent , due 1907. . . . 1.05
Four and one-half per cent , duo 1910. . . . LOG
Four per cent funding , due 1918 LOG
"According to this table , " says Deputy
City Treasurer Fend , "you will see that
4Ms Per cent bonds that mature In 1917 are
quoted at $1.12 , whllo the 4 per cent funding
bonds Issued last year are quoted at $1.06.
Whatever difference exists between thcso
two quotations Is the result of the difference
In the Interest and the fact that the funding
bonds are not considered In the bond market
as coed securities ns other bonds. From
these figures wo can In some measure esti
mate the premium that will bo offered for
the bonds to be sold next Monday.
"The fact that these bonds will draw 4 per
cent will not cnnblo us to sell them at the
$1.12 quotation of the 4& per cents of 1917
on account of the difference In the Interest.
On the other hand , wo should got moro than
the $1 OC for the 1018 refunding bonds , be
cause they will form better security and also
because the latter liavo already drawn n half
year's Interest. Consequently I look for u
little better premium than $1,06 , possibly
$1.07. This premium , of course , will be se
cured only in the event that the whole $250-
000 of bonds will bo sold In a batch. If
they are split up Into bunches of $25,000 or
$50,000 the premium will bo something less ,
about $1.01 or $1.05. "

Ankn for Information.
ONG , Neb. , Feb. 16. To .tho . Editor of
The Bee : Some time ago I wrote an article
* o the South Omaha Stockman , setting forth
some ot the abuses that exist in the yards in
the Inspection of cattle. Tlio Stockman
claims to be an olllclal organ for the South
Omaha stock yards , and dares not publish
my letter , so I will most respectfully ask
The Bee to do so , knowing thnt it stands
up for the pcoplo as against the combina
tion that exists moro or less 'throughout '
the state.
In that letter I asked , "Who appointed
said Inspector ? " "What IB hla pay ? " "Who
pays him ? " "Do the Block yards ? " or "do
the packers have anything to do with the
matter ? " "Docs he got a percentage out of
itho cattle condemned , or not ? " "Does he got
Uio hldo ? " "It not. who does get it ? " "Who
gets the offal of said condemned , stock ,
and what Is It worth ? "
Now , these are facts that all the shlppere
are Interested in and ouglit "to " bo given a
fair deal.
I have shipped Ihundireds of cattle to Chicago
cage , Kansas City , St. Joseph and Omaha ,
and must say ithat I never had a head con
demned at any place other than Omaha , and
that only within the last two years. I have
had three cows condemned within the lasit
four weeks. Ono cost mo $22.50 , another
$20 , and the third $17.60. I think thnt when
itho shipper or the commission man or buyer
cannot see a thing wrong with o. row she
ought to go. What were the cows con
demned for ? They say "seeenclosed. . " I
could not tell , EO I called on a physician ; he
did not know and Bald ho had never heard
of It. I called on a veterinary surgeon , and
ho said , "I'll bo - If I know what it Is. "
When I was coming out of Omaha I met a
pihysldan , who eald It was what was called
thinness of blood , but ho also said that he
never heaird of it among animals , but some
times met with it In hlf ? practice.
Now what we , the shippers , are kicking
about , Is being robbed of the hide , which
Is worth. $6 to $8 , and wo get only $2 for
the whole cow , and wo want to know where
that hide go < ? 8 to ?
I find that there is a. general complaint ,
not only among the shippers , but among
the commission men , os well. But as one
man Raid to mo , "they are afraid to do
anything , ro keep still. "
Have things come to such a condition that
wo have to submit to these things and dare
not say one word for fear the Inspector will
condemn all the cattle wo send there ?
