ANOTHER VIEW OF SITUATION
. .Northwestern Official Voices His Opinion Re
garding Reported Dissolution.
SAYS PRESENT COMBINE WILL CONTINUE

Cannot AlTuril to lnnor < _ ' the \nttli- ;

llllnoln Central Uxtcnalon.
There nri two sldea to every story and
the emphatic statement from n Northwestern
official yesterday that the reports of
the threatened dissolution of the present
freight and pamcngcr arrangement * existing
between the Northwestern and Union Pacific
ere utterly devoid of substantial foundation
gives the contrary side to a matter which Is
Interesting the railway world and the public
generally throughout the west to a consider
able extent Just at this time. The North
western omclal said :
"Theso reports of a cessation of the pres
ent friendly and harmonloiw relations ex
isting between our road and the Union Pa
cific arc the veriest rot. There Is not the
Bllghtcst probability of the Vandorbllt In
terests In the Union Pacific being Ignored
by the other directors. As a matter of fact
the relations of the stockholders are most
pleasant , and there Is no reason for antici
pating any change In those relations.
"Tho statement wan made a few days ago
that the Illinois Central , when It reached this
city , would not be satisfied with Its share of
the Focal bimlncss , but would demand the
bulk of the business from the Union Pacific
and would assort Its Influence by reason of
the fact that the Harrlman Interests , which
arc a prominent factor In tbo Union Pacific ,
nro nlflo largely connected with the Illinois
Central. I have no doubt that when the Illi
nois Central completes Its line Into Omaha
that It will receive a partial slmro of the
Union Pacific business from the west which
must needs seek an eastern outlet from I
Omaha. But as a matter of fact all of tho' '
fines running east from Omaha receive a
part of the Union Pacific business and have
passenger and freight solicitors In the terri
tory covered by the Union Pacific constantly
at work. In order to hold up our end of the
business the Northwestern has thrco freight
agents In this same territory all of the time.
It Is true that the Northwestern receives the
bulk of this business , and It Is not unnatural
that It should , oven eliminating the fact
that certain Interests are associated with
both roads. I venture to assert that the
Northwestern turns over to the Union Pa
cific four times as much business as It re
ceives , and the reason for this Is that our
line has In Its patronizing territory In Iowa ,
Illinois and Wisconsin , the richest agricul
tural region In the west , and also controls
the western freight shipments of some of the
largest manufacturing establishments In the
Mississippi vairey and adjacent territory.
There have not been , nor are there now , nny
threats , because the kindliest relations have
existed , but nevertholesa the Northwestern
could tlo up with some ono or more of the
other systems having a western outlet and.
arrange for the western distribution of Its
freight and passenger consignments and bo
accorded courtesies In return , and would
thereby Buffer not nearly so much as the
Union Pacific In case the present conditions
were brought to an end.
"Tho Illinois Central building Into Omaha
eeoma to provide the cause for all of this
gossip regarding the breaking away ot the
Northwestern and Union Pacific. The as
sertion Is made In some quarters that the
Illnols Central would not come hero merely
for the local business , but the fact Is that
oven this business -would he richly produc
tive for It because It has the only through
line operating between the Missouri river
and the south , and the freight traffic It
would naturally get , consisting of southern
products consigned to the territory covered
by Omaha , and the manufactured articles
and agricultural products from this field to
the south would ibo ample reward for the
extension of Us line to this point.
"No , sir , the present relations between
the Union Pacific and the Northwestern will
not bo dissolved , como what may , and the
'belief ' that ouch would bo the case has ex
isted oply In the imagination of the officers
of certain rival competitive roads. "
JT ATTRACTS IITTLIS INTEREST.
nnllrnnil Oflloliiln Iioolc Upon Ileccnt
Downpour an n Mutter of Cournc.
Rain over the Btato Is becoming such a
usual occurrence these days that when the
telegraphic roporta como In of a heavy down
pour there la a noticeable difference in the
Interest manifested by railroad officials now
and that of two weeks ago. Thursday
night's rain , which drenched Omaha so thor
oughly , extended generally throughout Ne
braska , Commenting upon the reports re-
coirod a Union Pacific freight man said :
"Tho answer to our prayers for rain Is cer-
tnlnfy remarkable , and if it keeps on much
longer -we will soon bo seeking a drouth ,
which goes to show the changeableness ot
human nature. " A Burlington man takes a
contrary vlow. Ho said : "Wo can stand nil
the rain that the weather man bestown upon
us. The soil of Nebraska is BO adapted that
the moisture is rapidly soaked up and the
bat days preceding last night's rain evapo
rated most of the moisture that had fallen
previously. "
The report of the rain received by General
Manager Holdrego ot the Burlington showed
that it had fallen generously In the sections
where. it woo needed most. There was but
nttlo rain In the southern counties of the
state , but last week's rains were sufficiently
heavy to put things in oxceeodlngly good
ohapo in that section. Along the main line
of the Burlington last week there was but
little rain and this was tbo region whcro
Thursday ulght's downpour was most copious.
On the northern division the rainfall re
ported from some of the towns was as fol
lows : Columbus , 2 inches ; Aurora , 1.5
inches ; Grand Island , 3.13 Inches ; Kearney ,
2.65 inches. From MeCook , in the western
division , 1.12 inches were reported , and there
were good rains in the -western part ot the
Btato and in Wyoming.
Heavy rains in certain localities and copi
ous showera generally through the state were
tbo reports of all the other railroad head
quarters.
Tlirenlrnctl Trouble Over
J , R. Buchanan , general passenger agent
of the Elkh'orn , has returned from Chicago ,
where ho had been in attendance upon a
meeting of the passc gor agents of the
western and southwestern lines , called for
tha purpose of discussing the now inter
changeable mileage system which boa Just
been adopted by the southwestern lines. It
Beams that this now system Is unlike that
in effect on the western roads and it will bo
impossible for a satisfactory operation of
tha two. Consequently , no action was taken
at the meeting , tout the matter was left
until Auguot 21 , when another meeting will
bo held and some satisfactory conclusion
will undoubtedly bo reached. General Pas-
conger Agents Lomax of the Union Pacific
and Francis of the Burlington , who were
nUo in Chicago for the purpose ot attending
this meeting , are expected to return tomor

RETAILERS ARE JUBILANT
Country Morclimitn lluy I.lliernlly for

n Illli HllMlllCflH.
Retail merchants from tno mall elites
of Nebraska and Iowa are responding liber
ally _ to the Inducements offered by the
Omaha Jobbers to pay a personal visit to the
metropolis , and , although the season has
scarcely begun , a lurge number of them
have been In during the week The whole
sale houses report that their visitors are or
dering more liberally than they have at this
time In any previous year and the retailers
are a unit In anticipating the best fall busi
ness that they have bad in years. They ara
buying heavier in the staples and branchIng -
Ing out Into new lines and the conservat
ism that has been a marked feature ot the
wholesale market since 1893 has apparently
given way before the magnificent crop
prospects and the prcsporous condition of
the fanners.
Most of the visitors call at the Commer
cial club during their stay In the city and
during the week Secretary Utt has talked
with retailers trom almost uvcry section of
Nebraska and from many Iowa points.
Without exception they assert that condi
tions were never better. All the farmers
have money and many of them are invest
ing it in additions to their farms or in
buying other farms at fairly good values.
They have cash to pay for their purchases
and the retailers are doing more business
than they have in years.
A well known merchant from a small Ne
braska town mentioned as an Illustration
of the conditions In his locality that tbo
two small banks In his town now have
$150,000 in cash on deposit. The bulk of
this represents the Idle money ot the farm
ers of the adjoining country. Most of the
country banks have quit paying Interest
on deposits as they find It Impossible to re
invest the money as rapidly aa it comes In.
Another big crop is regarded as a compara
tive certainty and farmers who were once
nearly discouraged are now convinced that
farming does pay in Nebraska.
REID ESTATE IN CONTEST
Ilulrn of tlit Munlcroil Hotel Keeper
Go Into Court to FlKUt for Him
Property.
"When John Reid was shot dead by his
son-in-law in the kitchen of his hotel at
Valley thirteen months ago he left quite a
valuable estate and a widow and seven chil
dren. Now a part of the children and two
grandestIdron , by a daughter who died some
years ago , have brought proceedings in
equity against Mrs. Reid and the remaining
children to have the estate distributed
among the heirs according to the provisions
of the statutes in cases in which no will
exists. In tholr petition they assert that
Reid died Intestate , but that Mrs. Reid now
claims absolute ownership of the farm near
Valley hecauso the original deed , by which
Reid purchased the farm from the Union
'Pacific ' ( Railroad company , was made out
in her name. James and Charles Reid , who
bring the suit for themselves and other
heirs , allege that the property was placed
in Mrs. Reid's name through an error ; that
aha contributed nothing toward the purchase
money , and that the property should be
divided among the heirs subject only to the
widow's right of dower.

Credit Due Turner * ,
The opening of the handsome new hall ot
the Bohemian Turners of Omaha , on South
Thirteenth street , between Dorcas and Mar
tha , will bo celebrated with appropriate ex-
orclscn Sunday afternoon. The conception
of the Idea of the erection of a hall for the
Bohemlnii residents of Omaha originated
more than twenty years ago and , fostered |
through all the years by the enthusiastic !
and wide-awake citizens of this nationality , j !
Is at last to bo realized and In n manner
which reflects great credit upon the nactety :
under whoso auspices the building has been
erected.
The location of the new hall Is a splendid
one and 1ms been 'built ' on property be
longing to the Bohemian Turner society ,
which has a frontage on Thirteenth street
of 132 feet. The building Itself M 60x120.
Great care has been taken In its erection ,
;
and when completed It will be a 'model of
'beauty ' and Interior convenience. It Is two
stories in height , although the main audi
torium has a main celling which reaches to
the top. A largo stage extends across the
west end ot the building and this Is fitted
out admirably with dressing and anterooms
which will prove most serviceable when
i
theatrical and other entertainments nro
given by the society. The floor of the audi
torium room is laid In hard wood and Is
60x82 feet in dimensions , thus making It
the largest dancing floor In the city. At
the front of the hall , on the east side , at
the right of the main entrance , U the buffet
and men's room. This Is ccnnectcd with n
cloak room , -which has an exit to the toilet
and bath rooms In the basement. On the
left of the hall Is the ladles' reception par
lor , which also is connected with cloak and
toliet rooms. On the east side two etalr-
ways load to a largo balcony surrounding the
auditorium and In the rear of this Is the
lodge roornj which is a commodious apart
ment , provided with necessary anterooms.
The building will be heated by steam. The
exterior front Is especially striking In ap
pearance , as It has a handsome covering
ot Imitation torlck and elegant cornice work ,
although the building 10 a frame structure.
The actual cost of the edifice , aside from
the stage and all Interior furnishings , Is
$8,000.
The opening Sunday afternoon with toe an
auspicious occasion. The exercises will be
participated in by all the Bohemian so
cieties In Omaha and South Omaha. At 2
o'clock a procession of these societies , led
by the Turners , will organize at Betz hall ,
on South Thirteenth street , and march to
the new hall. Arriving there an interest
ing program will 'be ' rendered. The architect
of the building , J. E. Detrlck , will turn over
the keys of the 'building ' to the president
of the Bohemian Turners , B. Havelka , who
will respond with an address. Mayor Moores
Is down for an address , as Is also A. Kment ,
ex-councilman , president of all the western
Bohemian Turner societies. It is expected
that other prominent citizens will make im
promptu addresses. The music will be fur
nished by the German Orpheus club and two
Bohemian singing classes. There -will also
bo Instrumental selections and several vocal
solos.
The officers of the society are : President ,
R. Havelka ; secretary , W. Bartos ; treas
urer , A. Kment ; chairman board cf trustees ,

twenty-two years ago and now has a mem
bership of 105 , numbering among Its active
workers many of the prominent Bohemian
residents of Omaha. The purposes of the
society are similar to those of the German
Turners. It seeks to ( promote athletics ,

relationship and Inculcates into the grow
ing youth love of the land ot their fathers
across the expanse of the ocean , as well
aa conducting a school for their Instruction
in the native tongue.
