14 THE OMAHA DAILY 35EE : SUNDAY , SEPTEMBER LM , 1890. READY FOR LOCAL CAMPAIGN Rapublloan Oounty HeadqturUrg Will Prob ably Ba Opened Monday. ORGANIZATION WILL BE BEGUN AT ONCE Action of the Ilcpiihllcnn Stntc Con- rcntlnn Impel * the 1'opocrntlo to Try to Keep Bryan In tltc Stntc. The republican campaign In Douglas county will begin bright and early Monday. It will contlnuo without cessation of energy until the last ballot Is counted next No vember. Chairman Collins of the county committee announces that ho will open the headquarters Monday In oneof two or three locations that ho bos under consideration. Ho will spend oa much time in the active su- pervUlon of the campaign as possible , and Secretary Tucker will bo on hand at all times during tbo campaign. The experience of the chairman In huntIng - Ing for a satisfactory location for the head quarters has emphasized his Impression of the fact that wo arc living In republican tlmea. It has boon a number of years since any campaign committee found It BO dim- cult to Bccuro quarters In Omaha. Suffi ciently commodious apartments located anywhere - where near the business center of the city are almost Impossible to secure at any price. Mr. Collins haa spent most of his spare tlmo for a week searching through down town ofllco buildings , and haa barely suc ceeded In finding rooms that can bo made to answer hla purpose. In ( net none of the lo cations available provide all the accommo dations considered desirable. In discussing his plans for the campaign Chairman Collins eald that his primary ob ject will bo to effect the most complete and thorough organization possible. "I propose to make the campaign as aggressive and et- footlve as Is In my power , " ho asserted , "and I regard organization as the principal foundation for succcesa. I Tvlll take care of the county fight to the best of my ability , but , to bo successful , I must have the hearty co-operation of my colleagues on the com mittee and republicans In general. I have every reason to expect that my support will be disinterested and enthusiastic , and I shall BO Into the contest with moro confidence than I have over felt before at the begin ning of an Important campaign. There was never a tlmo when republicans were more harmonious and enthusiastic than right now. The state ticket Is absolutely Invlnclblo and our county ticket Is , In the aggregate , one ot the strongest wo have over been called on to support. With thorough organization and the same spirit now manifested I am confident that wowill not only roll up a surprising majority In this county , but that wo will sweep the state. " The enthusiasm that the state convention has Inspired In republican circles la In strik ing contrast to the shock that It haa given the hopss of the popocratlc managers. The politicians who are managing the Holcomb campaign still Insist on the street that , \vhllo Judge Heeso IB ono of the strongest men the republicans could have nominated , they still have o. sufficient majority remain ing In the state to pull their man through. It Is significant , however , that , since Judge Reese was nominated , the most strenuous efforts ore being made to Induce Bryan to protract his Nebraska campaign. The pllota admit that their only chance of success lies In Bryan's ability to Induce his Mends to support Holcomb for his own preservation. They do not hcsltato to concede that , If the two candidates for the supreme bench wore running on tholr own Individual merits , Judge Reese would sweep the state. They cling to the hope , ( however , that the In fluence of the Bryan personality will once more bo potent to keep some part of their previous majority in line. It had been previously arranged that Bryan should leave Nebraska October 1 and epcnd the rest ot the month in other states , returning to Nebraska just before election. It is stated that his outsldo dates are al ready fixed to October 20 and tbo local man agers are now engaged in a desperate effort to Induce the national committee to send Bryan back hero during the last ten days ot the month. At tiho same tlmo a strenuous appeal has gone out for itho presence of as many of the best stump speakers from other states as can ijrosslbly bo thrown into Ne braska during the last three weeks of the campaign. In eplto ot the confidence ex pressed at popocratlo headquarters every move of the steering committee ia indicative of a growing conviction that nothing but the most desperate measures can save the state for Bryan. Tbo recent democratic endorsement of S. I. Gordon for police Judge is another ghost that refuses to down. The democratic city convention was almost unanimously opposed to Gordon's nomination , but , by declaring a recess , during which some of the candi dates busied themselves in an earnest ap peal to tha delegates to do anything the pops wanted , the delegates were Induced to swal low Gordon with as much grace as could bo expected. The endorsement of Gordon was mainly the result of the personal solicita tions of John Power , who was anxious to ac complish something that would win populist votes for his own candidacy , and now a lot of the democrats declare that Power might bettor have attended to his own business. It has Just got to them that , with Gordon running Independently against a republican candidate , there was a promising opportun ity to elect a democrat , and the friends ot the half dozen democrats who were candi dates for the ofllco assert that Power sacri ficed democratu who had stayed by him in order to throw a sop to his populist allies. The ( populist county central committee mot at the Peter Cooper club yesterday after noon to organize for the campaign and ar- rungo for the completion of the ticket. Th organization was completed by the selection ot an executive committee , which , consists of M , J. O'Connell , J. B. Jon a and L. V. Guyo of Omaha , G. W. Rayworth of South Omaha and J , Kelly McCoomba of JeffcrHou product. The endorsement of the remaining - ing candidates on the ticket was left to the executive committee after conference with tha executive committees of tbo other par ties. Tiho conrmltteo will meet at the eame place every Saturday night during the cam paign. The resignation of J , W. Carr as one ot the Judicial candldatva of the Oliver repub lican party failed to effect its supposed pur pose of clearing the way for the endorse ment of C. H. Scott by the populist Judicial committee. The committee met In the office of E. K. Thomas in the Now York LI to building yesterday afternoon and turned Scott down toy a. unanimous vote. C. C. Wright , the fifth democratic nominee , was nominated for the vacant place on the popu list ticket , which is now similar to the ono that was nominated by the democratic Ju dicial convention. TRIED TO SELL STOLEN CLOTH StrniiKcru Tnken Into Cnntoily Having In 1'nftncHnloit IlrcHH Gooiln Stolen from Freight Cnr. Dennis Hurley was arrested on the street yesterday iby Detectives Jorgesou and Dcmpfey on suspicion of complicity In the theft of a lot of dry goods belonging to M. E. Smith & Co. , from a freight car In the Northwestern yards , billed to a merchant In Manning , la. A few hours later ho was positively identified as a man known to have had some of the stolen property In his pos session the day after the robbery. The arreet of Hurley la the second made In connection with the theft. On Saturday afternoon , September 1C , a man giving the name of Fred Mandcrsan , was taken Into custody , euspcctcd of having stolen two bolts of dress goods ho was trying to sell to the proprietor of the White Front saloon. Three men entered the saloon each carrying large packngco. Two of the trio stepped Into the card room at the rear , taking the bundles with them. The other waited until the proprietor finished serving a customer , 'then ' producing some samples of cloth , offered to sell at n very low prlco the bolts from which they were taken. The proprietor , feigning to bo Interested In the material , sent one of hit ) employes to notify the policeman on the beat. Before the offlrer came , the two men In the card room became alarmed and mndo a hasty exit via the back door , leaving ono ot the bundles. The patrolman arrested the salesman with the samples and confiscated the package. Mnndcrson was the man's name. Ho said ho was a laborer from Now York. The bundle contained two bolta of dress goods. Dennis Hurley , who was ar rested this morning , was identified by the saloon proprietor ns one of the men who were In the card room when Manderson tried to eoll htm 'tho ' goods. The cloth was Identified by clerks from M. E. Smith & Co.'s dry goods store as a part ot a consignment shipped to a Manning ( Ia. ) merchant named Thompson , September 15. At some tlmo after the goods left the store and before they reached Thompson's place ot business a part of them , valued at $180 , waa stolen. The freight car seals had not been broken when the consignment reached Its destination , so the police believe the cloth was stolen before It was loaded on the car. A complaint charging Hurley am Manderson with grand larceny will bo filed this afternoon. MAN'S ' POCKETS FULL -OF GOLD nR Snloon Keeper Found In Rnll- rend YnrdH Identified Iiy money In III * 1'otmcnnloii. N. W. Peterson proprietor ot a saloon at Twenty-fifth and N streets , South Omaha , wns picked up in a etato of collapse on the Union Pacific railroad traicks Friday after noon by Patrolman Glover. Peterson wan suffering from the effects of whisky fits. Being unable to give an account of himself , ho was taken to the police station to sober up. The offlcoro who searched the man were surprised upon finding in his pockets $300 In gold and silver coins. There 'nero no pa pers to disclose his Identity ; BO ho was locked up , the money having been placed in the Jail strong box for safe keeping. A few hours later the caauler of the Schlltz Brewing company asked the police to keep a lookout for Peterson , the South Omaha saloonkeeper , who was thought lo have gone to Kansas City with a small bunch of money given him to settle the firm's accounts In the Magic city. Peterson liad boon drinking , the cashier said , and as ho did not return to his place of business after leaving Schlltz'a office with the money there were reasons to believe ( he had gone to the Missouri city while too intoxicated to know what he was doing. When Informed that a man corresponding In description to Peterson was in Jail , em ployes of the brewing company called at the station and identified the stranger with the money ns the saloonkeeper. Peterson won released from custody yesterday. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a scientific com pound halng tbo endorsement of eminent physicians and the medical press.

Pursuant to the recommendation of the board of directors of the Union Pacific 1 can eafely bo said that at a special meeting of the stockholders , to bo hold In Salt Lake City Monday , October 0 , the preferred capita fctock and common capital stock will bo In creased sufUclcntly to permit the ociiulsltloi ot the outstanding preferred and common stock of the Oregon Railway & Navlgu tlon company and the Collateral Trust lu como 13. 4 per cent bonds ot the Oregon Short Line company. Through the acquisition of the Oregon Short Line bonds the Union Pacific wll strengthen its proprietary Interest In the Short Line company and effect an advan tagcous change. In the character of securities With the securing of the preferred steel of the Oregon Railway & Navigation com pany and ot the common stock of that com pany exclusive of that already acquired am held by the Short Line company the Union Pacific will confirm and complete Ita contro of the Navigation property , which was par tially secured through the conversion o Oregon Short Line stock accomplished lu the early part of the present year , and will ob tain ownership , practically absolute , ot the through line to the Pacific coast from Omaha. As Is well understood the Oregon Short Line and Oregon Railway & Navigation com panies constttuto extensions and mixlllarj lines of the Union Pacific , which substan tially owns all the outstanding capital stock of the Oregon Short Line. The latter com pany , in turn , owns a largo majority of the common capital stock of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company. By the acquisition of the outstanding preform stock of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company , also the common stock ot tha system not already owned by the Oregon Short Line , the Union Pacific will bring Into ono great system these three railroads The importance of such n move can readily be appreciated when It Is remembered tha the Oregon Short Line Is the connection o the Union Pacific at Granger , Wyo. , and extends to Huntlngton , Ore. , where It con nects with the Oregon Railroad and Naviga tion company , which has a direct line to Portland. The directors of the Union Pacific asser that this complete absorption can bo ob talncd by the Issue and exchange for the outstanding preferred and common stocl of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company , and the bonds of the Oregon Shor Line or Union Pacific preferred and com man stock In amounts equal to the securi ties desired. In order to bring this about a change In the charter of the Union Pacific Is necesary to make euch an exchange The preferred capital stock will have to be Increased by $25,000,000 , and the common capital stock , $7,718,600. This will bring the entire amount of capitalization of the Union Pacific to $196,178,700 , and It Is pro posed , in the event of the changing of the charter , to have this capital stock repro Bonted by 1,961,787 shares , each of a par value of $100 , and each entitled to ono vote at any meeting o the stockholders. Of such capital stock 1- 000,000 shares may bo issued 03 preferred stock and 961,787 shores as common stock. It Is llkoly that the distinction between the preferred and common stock will be designated so that the preferred stock shall bo entitled in preference and priority over the common stock of the corporation to divi dends In each and every fiscal year at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent per annum , pay able out of net profits. Such dividends will bo non-cumulative and the preferred stock will bo entitled to no other or further share of the profits. Stockholders of the Union Pacific express themselves almost unanimously in favor of tbls plan , and Its completion according to the terms set forth in the foregoing Is a certainty. Such an , absorption as proposed will make of the Union Pacific and Its allied branches ono of the greatest , most powerful and Influential railway systems In the world. This special meeting of stockholders on the 9th of next month to consider this proposi tion will bo followed on Tuesday , October 10 , by the annual meeting of the stockholders , to be held in the Salt Lake- offices of the Union Pacific , for the election of fifteen directors and the 'transaction ' of such other business as may come before the meeting. Hearing ; of Injunction PoNtponod. The hearing of the Injunction just brought by the Kansas City , Pltsburj ; & Gulf line against a number of connections will betaken taken up before Judge Thayer In United States circuit court at St. Louis again next Wednesday. At the first sitting of the court In the case the defendants denied that they had conspired to boycott the complainant road. They alleged that the Gulf line had cut rates to such a low figure that It was Impossible for them to operate In conjunc tion with it at a profit and , therefore , not jointly , but Individually , each road had de termined to refuse to longer transport the freight of the complainant road at the tariff rates In force at tbo time the suit was In stituted. At the conclusion ot the reading of the answers and affidavits of defendant counsel for the Gulf line requested tlmo In which to prepare affidavits In re buttal. The court granted an extension of time until Wednesday , the 27th Inst. , whei the hearing will be resumed , The Omaha roods which are interested in thin coso as defendants are the Mlesourl Pa cific , Wabash , Burlington and Rock Island. The Union Pacific took a neutral stand dur ing * ho aggressive campaign which was in stituted against the Gulf line and and con sequently Is not a participant in the present legal controversy.

SHEEP RAISING IN WYOMING Extent of tha Business darned On in tbo Northwestern Part of the Btato , FACTS ABOUT WOOL AND MUTTON BELT Ilovr the lrlock Arc MnnaKcil lu Summer and Winter -Fluent lu the Went The Wool Clli > . L. 'M. ' Ormsby of Fremont , Neb. , now an extensive sheep raiser In Wyoming , was In Omaha this week feeling the pulse of the mutton market. Olr. Ormaby's headquarters ia Casper , the thriving wool center of Wy oming , whence are shipped millions of pounds of wool annually. Last jear the wool clip amounted , to 4,000,000 pounds , and estimates for this year place the clip at 7,000,000 pounds. Natrona , Converse and Johnson counties , each larger than some eastern states , are the great sheep feeding sections of thD state. Ton years ngo there was scarcely a flock In that region. Now there are tens of thousands , yielding in comes hardly surpassed by cattlemen of twenty years ago. Omaha is the great mar ket for Wyoming. Before marketing , how ever , sheep nro put la prime condition with Nebraska corn and Nebraska grass. How the IliiNlitpHN In Conducted. "Wo run our sheep In bands of about 3,000 each , " said ) Mr. Ormsby , "and have one mail and a shepherd dog to a band. With every two bands there Is usually a camp-mover , whoso duty is to hunt range and water and move the camps there when the feed around the last location has been exhausted. The herder must keep hia sheep on good feed all the tlmo. With every band there goes a eheep wagon , which is a house on wheels , containing n bed , cupboard , cook- stove , cooking utensils , provisions , otc. At night the herder brings the sheep In nround tbo camp , and as plenty of bells are kept on them ho la supposed to hear .the disturb ance should n mountain lion , coyote or other animal get among them , and hurry out with his gun to protect the flock. This happens nearly every night , aa these animals are numerous and destructive. "After the lambing and shearing time Is over , usually by the end of May , the flocka start for the summer ranges , which are generally In the mountains. Last sum mer wo had C.OOO of our eheep In the Dig Horn mountains , at an altitude of about 10,000 feet , and the rest about 100 mlles away In another section. It Is very beau tiful up In the mountains. Wo were near Cloud park , nearly 14,000 feet above the sea level , and In two hours' ride from the camp wo could roach perpetual snow , it snowed every month In the summer , and Ice froze every night in our camp. The streams were filled with trout , and on the mountains there were deer , elk , grouse and other game. "Tho ebeep have there flne feed and plwity of pure , ice-cold water , but it is dangerous , by reason of the snow , to keep them In the mountains after September. So wo enove them down into itho valley , where they remain until the snow comes. Then they are taken Into the bad rands for the winter. As there Is no water In Uieeo Dad Lands , the grass cannot bo fed off In the summer , and this consequently Joavos a good winter range. The sheep can get snow In the winter and don't need water , while wo melt the snow for cooking and drinking and for the horses. The Dad Lands are a remarkably rough and broken country , and this protects the tfbeep from the severity of the winter's storms , We stay 'by ' them In winter's blizzards just aa we do in the sum mer , and with the thermometer sometimes at 40 degrees below zero it Is no picnic. Klicnrliiir Time , "The winter over , the shearing season be gins and U ended by the last of May or June , accordingly as It was begun before or after the lambing time. Until within the last three years the shearing wag mostly done at the railroad pens , tbo Bhocp being driven there for that purpose and then taken back to the range , Now most of the wool Is sheared at private pens located all through the country for 200 mllei from the Crown Him King Tlip greatest musicians of tlic world have iilaeeil tlio crown upon the Klin- ball piano today they lire Improved over last year always the best now bettor flour tone easy toudi perfect action beautifully ornamental.
