MILE ON MILE OF TICKETS

General Passenger Agent J. Francis ot
thu uurllngton has made some Interesting
computations and comparisons relative to
tho number of tickets Issued during the
course of u year from tho general passen
ger headquarters of his system. "Tho tick
ets Issued by tho llurllugton last year,"
kid Mr. Francis, "If placed end to end,
would reach from 'St. l'aul to Chicago, a
distance Ot 430 miles. After carpeting the
route of Its electric-lighted limited be
tween these cities, there would bo fho
miles of tickets left over to cover the side
tracks.
"From the Omaha offices of tho Hurling-
ton thcro wero Issued last yenr ll.tOo
mileage books. Some of them, thso con
taining 3.000 miles, measure Just twenty-
six feet when pulled out. Hut tho 1,000
mile books, more commonly seen, are nlno
feet loDg. If theso 11,600 strips cf mileage
wero placed end to end mcy woum cxicna
a distance of twenty miles.
"If th'eso mileage books could bo placed
ono on top of the other we would have a
stack higher than any church stecplo In
existence 287 ',4 feet. It would bo a task
for one person to use up theso mileage
bocks. In tho lot thcro Is transportation
for 10,550,000 miles. If ono should ride
TOO miles a day for sixty years he would
Just about use up all the mileage. If ono
should confine his travels to the 8.006 miles
of the Ilurllngton route 1.318 trips over tho
entire system would bo mado before tho
mileage would be consumed.
"Hut thcro are other tickets besides the
mllengo books. Tho tickets most commonly
used by our agents are known as book tick
ets. One hundred of them are bound to
gether In tho form of a book nnd on Issuing
the ticket tho agent writes in the name of
tho starting point nnd thu destination. Of
these our Omaha ugent used 453.000 last
year. Allowing 200 for an inch In height
wo should havo a monument of tlckots tow
ering 189 feet In the nr.
ToMcr of Cnnl TluUel.
"Wherever the ticket sales from ono sta
tion to another nro very numerous and the
demand regular card tickets take the placo
of book tickets. Of tho former just about
1,000,000 wero used last year. A stack of
200 card tickets measures eight Inches In
height. Hy a little calculation It Is shown
that a year's supply would ptlo up over a
half mile. Anil the tickets in this paste
toard monument would not Include tho thou
sands ot card tickets printed for special ex
cursions. If on top of the millionth card
ticket were placed tho excursion tickets
Issued during one year for county nnd state
fairs, expositions, conventions, picnics and
similar occasions, our card tower would bo
nearly a mile high, and tho Washington
monument would seem llko a boy's size
tombstone In comparison.
"As with all other roads the Hurlington
sells many tickets to points off Its own lines.
Theso through tlcketB nro made by pasting
together as many Btrlps as are called for by
tho different lines over which tho pussenger
.will travel. I havo seen n coupon ticket
pasted up till it reached n length of five
feet. Th'o.purchaser of. this ticket, of course.
w oa going to do considerable traveling, over
a number of Hues and mako numerous stop
overs. Wo Issued over 100,000 coupon tick
ets last yenr. If they had all been five feet
In length they would havo covered ninety
flvo miles, or more than tho distance be
tween Now. York nnd Philadelphia.
"In addition to tho tickets issued from
Omaha are those sent out hy the Chicago
and the St. Louis concral offices. In order
to find out how many miles of tickets were
Issued by tho entire Uurllngton system last
year a conservative estimate is tho multi
plication of tho Omaha Ibsuo by thrco. From
tho latter ofllco we Und twenty and one-half
miles of mileage tickets, seventy-one and
ono-hnlf miles of book tickets, seventeen
andv one-half miles of coupon tickets nnd
thlrty-flvo nnd one-halt miles of cord tick
ets. In nil 140 miles of paper and cardboard
good for traveling. Threo times this amount
makes 433 miles of tickets, or somowhero
near what is used by the entire Ilurllngton
system In a single year.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 26. President
Hill of tho Great Northern has received
from Chief Knglnecr Stevens a telegram
stating that the east and west crows In the
Immenso bore under tho Cascade moun
tains have met. Tho two forces working
from opposite ends in the big tunnel brought
tho two ends together without the varia
tion of an inch. Now that the tremendous
task of boring out over two miles of gran
ite has been accomplished the work of lay
ing the tracks is comparatively Insignifi
cant.
The tunnel will now bo rushed to a speedy
conclusion It Is estimated that tho tunnel
when completed will have cost J3.000.000.
Ono thousand men havo been engaged nearly
three years In Its completion nnd all rec
ords ot tunneling havo been broken. The
nvernfp progress wob from clghteun to

the "switchback" over the Cascades, which

SOME LOCAL FUSION GOSSIP
Dove of Pence IlenlliiK Vcrr Vncnslly
on the Hoof of the Dem
ocratic llnrn,
Tho nomination of Frank Hansom for the
state cenntc throws upon tho fusion state
committees the necessity of naming some
one to succeed htm on tho state ticket as
ono of tho presidential electors. Hansom
secured a place on the state ticket through
tho appointment of the conference com
mttteo at Lincoln. His selection crowded
out Joseph A. Connor of this city, who
had the endorsement of tho Douglas county
crowd r.nd the democratic state convention,
for after tho cotifcrcnco had reported the
selection of Hansom for the place, Him
democratic state convention voted to have
him taken off nnd Connor substituted. Be
foro that action could bo taken, however,
tho populist convention had adjourned,
and It was too late. It was thought that
upon Hansom's retirement from tho ticket
Connor might come forward to claim the
place as a candidate for elector, but such
will not be tho caso. "No, sir," said Con
nor when Interrogated concerning his prob
able action, "I don't want any prefer
ment second-handed. No chowed-ovor
honors for me." There is talk ot making
Councilman Lobeck a candidate for elector
In Hansom's stoad.
No call has yet boen Issued for tho demo
cratic city committee meeting to arrango
for tho primaries and convention for the
nomination ot candidates for tho Ooard
of Edncatlon, and it Is whispered that there
will bo no city primaries und convention.
Prominent democrats whisper that when
tho city committee docs meet. It will decrco
that the delegates from tho city wards to
tho recent county convontlon be the dele
gates to the city convention for tho nom
ination of candidates for tho school board.
It Is possible, this plan may not meet with
any opposition, although It will bo In flag
rant conflict with tho resolution adopted
at tho recent, county convention, declar
ing against tho selection of delegates to
any democratic convention by any com
mittee. It is suggested that It Is JUBt as
wrong for a commlttco to select delegates
to n city convention ns to a county conven
tion, and this proposal of a city committee
in dec'eelng that the delegates to ono con-
entlon shall also bo delegates to another,
not contemplated "at the tlmo of the selec
tion, Is nothing less than nnnppolntment
by a committee. The oxcuro urged Is the
familiar one, of lack of funds to pect the
expenses of a primary. That Is' tho old
excuse upon which others hnve relied in
ppointlns delegations. This method will
avo the additional advantage this time of
eprlvlng the Molse-r'annlng-Mlller coterlo
t all voice In tho city convention.
The Fanning faction Is not by any means
reconciled to tho nctlon of tho democratic
party at tho recent prlmurles nnd county
convention. In fact, thcro Is open hostil
ity being manifested against a part of thu
ticket, especially In tho Fifth ward, which
Is recognized .as tho Molse ward, al
though he does not live there. There are
Ival democratic clubs In that' ward, the
Fifth Ward Democratic club being led by
Fred Cosgrove and Harry O'Neill, and the
liry'an nnd SteVcnson club, representing the
Molso-Fnnnlng faction. The circulation of
otters through tho ward denouncing Fan
ning and Molso as gamblers and political
rooks during the recent nnd former pri
maries has aroused tho friends ot those
leaders. They attribute, this practice to
Harry O'Neill, and are pronounced against
his candidacy for the state senate They
have also taken up tho cudgel against Ed
gar Howard as tho candidate for congress,
bccniiHft In an unguarded moment he fol-
owed tho promptings of Cosgrove, and nt
meeting of the Intter's club intimated
that tho Fannlng-Molse workers were hand
ling republican money. At n meeting of
tho Bryan nnd Stevenson club tho other
night Howard's picture Is reported to have
been torn from the walls of tho club room.
Molso rtfusos to discuss the probable ac
tion of that faction In reference to Howard
and O'Neill, as docs Fanning, but J. H.
.Marr and other members of the Molse
forces In tho Fifth ward are manifesting
considerable belligerence, although Marr
will not tnlk for publication, Harry Mil
ler, one of tho lenders of the beaten fac
tion, will, however, swallow his own
words, and the ticket, O'Neill and all, In
letter In the fusion organ to that effect
in a day or two.
The Jacksonlan club Is getting ready to
acknowledge that it made a mistake when
It moved away from tho central section
of the city to Its present headquarters on
Harney street, nnd it is now debating n
proposition to move down town again,
having under consideration tho rooms at
Fourteenth nnd Farnam streets, now oc
curled ns democratic county commltteo
headquarters.

MURPHY DIES BY TREACHERY
Omnlin I.leiitennnt Kxtendn His limit!
In fireetlmr to Filipino nnd He
rriven It 11 1 1 ot 'I'lironuli Iluily.
Cadet Taylor has received a letter from
his eou. Captain Wallace Taylor, now at
San Pablo, Phlllpplno Islands, tn which
undor dato of August 15, the captain gives
the particulars concerning the death of Cap
tain Murphy, who was killed August 13.
Captain Taylor says: "For tho. first tlmo
since the death of Lieutenant Wnugb tho
regiment has lost an officer, Captain Murphy,
who was killed two nights ago. The killing
of Captain Murphy was murder pure and
simple. Hearing that a toly of Insurgents
was concealed In a berlo near the camp ho
started out with a squad to capture them
Ho found no Insurgents, but seeing an
'hombre,' or native Filipino, standing In tho
semi-darkness ho approached him and asked
him his business. Tho Filipino responded
and extended his hand in friendship, As
the Filipino shook hands with him n shot
from the darknesB entered tho captain's
body, producing death almost Instantly. Ths
captain was an efficient nnd energetic officer
and his death Is greatly deplored by the
regiment."
Referring to the insurgents Captain Tay
lor thinks that he can find an excuse for
much ot the so-called "Spanish cruelty," as
the seeming cruelty was In fact mercy, be
Ing the only argument the FIllplnoB can
undcrstaud, and tho best way to suppress
greater evils, giving assurance to the
friendly natives that they will be protects
from the seml-savngery of the guerrillas.
At the time of writing the letter the cap
tain was affected by a slight attack of low
fiver, which was greatly alleviated by
trip on i gunboat.

Ono of the most important matters now
being considered by tho city officials Is the
election ot a competent board of regis
tration, Tho selection of these offlclats
will be mado by the council at an adjourned
meeting lo be held Friday afternoon. So
many complaints have been made about
the condition ot the registration books
that the council will bo very careful In tho
selection of registrars this year. At the
spring election one o tthe most prominent ,
politicians In the Fourth ward called at tho
polls to voto and It took the members of
the board fully ten minutes to find his
name, and then the record was on only
ono of tho thrco books. This condition pre
vails In nearly every precinct in the city.
Under the existing laws the city council
is empowered to'oppolnt members of the
board of registration nnd has authority to
mako removals when it is deemed neces
sary. The council must, according to law,
ttr.ino this hoard in September of each year
and It Is for this purpose principally that
tho meeting will bo hold on Friday. Three
registrars aro nllowcd for each voting
precinct. They must be citizens of the
United States, of good character nnd able
to read, wrlto and speak English under
standing and be qualified voters. No
candidates for office will be allowed on
tho board.
Each member of tho board must appear
beforo tho mayor, who is required by law
to cxamluo them as to their qualifications.
Mayor Kelly said yesterday that he pro
posed to follow out the law to the letter
In this examination In ordor that only com
petent men may bo appointed.
Every ono who desires to voto must
register this fall, as Ust spring's registra
tion was only a revision. Judging from
tho census returns tho registration this
fall will reach the G.000 mark, It not n
llttlo over.
The first day of registration will bo on
October 18, tho second on October 26 nnd
the last day on Saturday, November 3.
DIvldliiK PlrNt Wnnl.
Since tho publication of tho official cen
sus attention has again been called to tho
necessity of dividing the First ward. The
population of tho four wards of the city
s given In tho government returns Is as
follows: First ward, 10,572; Second wnrd,
,283; Third ward, G.275; Fourth ward, 1,-
916. Total. 26,001. It will bo seen that
the First ward has several times the pop
ulation of the Fourth ward, although the
roprescntntlon In tho city council Is the
same.
One of the principal reasons for having
the ward divided Is tho fact that three
otlng precincts cannot properly handle
the laige vote. By creating a Fifth ward
out of a portion of the First ward two
or threo additional voting precincts will
be established, thus relieving the pressure
on the thrco now provided for. At tho
April election, which was purely local, 1.-
99 votes wero cast, divided among the
wards as follows: First ward, 1,686; Sec
ond wnrd, 1,336; Third ward, 90.1; Fourth
ward, 372. As tho vote at tho fall election
s always heavier than at the local elec-
tlpn tho Increase In tho First ward voto
considerable. In somo Instances the
threo precincts In this wnrd havo been
ompiftely swamped nnd voters hnvo been
turned away when tho hour for closing the
polls arrived. The law contemplates not
moro than 500 voters for a precinct and tt
will bo readily seen that the necessity for
some nctlon In this case is imperative.
This question has been agitated before,
but for the political reasons no decisive
steps were taken. Now that tho council
is republican' and is presided over by .1
republican mayor thertr is no good renson
why action should beclaycd. From those
who aro taking tho most interest In the
affair it is learned that the Impression pre
vails that either Twenty-second or Twenty-
third streets should be mado tho dividing
Ine. This division, If made, will increase
tho members of tho city council by two nnd
make a more equal representation In the
legislative body. Tho suggestion has been
mado that n portion of tho First ward lie
aken off and attached to tho Fourth ward
but the Idea is not considered a good one,
as the Union Pacific tracks hnvo constituted
tho dividing lino between tho First nnd
Fourth and Second nud Third wnrds so long
that It is not deemed ndvlsnblo to make
the change.
While it is considered too late to do
anything beforo the coming election, the
mayor said yesterday that he would call
the attention of tho council to the necessity
before long with a view to creating a
new wnrd. Two republican councllmcn
would thus be appointed by the mayor
to servo until the next olectlon. With two
republicans in office from this proposed
ward It Is thought that there would bo
no difficulty about keeplhg them In and
possibly assuring a permanent republican
majority In tho council.
Hock Inlnnd Mnnt I.emien Speed.
Over at tho Exchange building yesterday
bunch of railroad men were discussing
the rate of speed at Vhlch Rock" Island
trains run through the city. It waB the
consensus ot opinion that Rock Island
passenger trains ran through South Omaha
at a rate of speed not less than forty
miles an hour. A number of accidents
havo occurred on this account latoiy nnd
stops of some kind will be taken to put
stop to this practice. Just as tho dis
cussion was growing rather warm a mem
ber of tho city council happened along and
the railroad men unbosomed themselves
to him. This member said thnt tho ordi
nance prohibits tho running of trnlus
through the city at a higher rate of Bpeed
than fifteen miles an hour. From tho
mnnnor In which tho conversation ended It
In Inferred thnt tho city officials will tako
some steps to compel tho Rock Island to
lower tho speed of its trains Inside of the
city limits. Not a Rock Island passenger
train stops at South Omaha, and, there
fore, the city officials do not consider
that the rond Is entitled to any special
consideration.

William Hnydcn of the firm of Hoyden

paper work yesterday which was any

lines, circumscribed with a deep border, a
morning paper printed tho report that his
firm had purchased tho site of the Catholic
church ot St. Mary Magdalene parish and
would erect a flvo-story building on tho
ground to connect with their present loca

Ilayden's attention he culled tho otllce ot tho
paper up by telephone, but found that
method of expressing his Ideas too re
stricted, so he visited the building, and
when he left tho management hud his opin

guage both forcible and decisive.
"Thero is not n word of truth In tho

Tho soclnl democratic party of Ne
braska held its second statu convention
of tho year yesterday. The first conven
tion, which met nt Lincoln July 4, nomi
nated n state ticket, but as thero wero
not 200 delegates present tho ticket failed
tn fulfill thu conditions uecessary for a
placo on tho official ballot by partisan
title. Tho convention today was for the
purpose of curing thnt defect.
The convention wns called to ordor at
3 o'clock and organized by electing II. O.
Hadley of Plattsmouth, chairman, nnd T
A. Edwards ot Ord secretary. A resolu
tion endorsing tho candidacy of Debs and
Hnrrlman was adopted and upon motion
tho nominees of the Lincoln convention
wero renominated with the exception of
J. M. Ensterllng of Kearney, candidate for
attorney general, who declined the former
nomination, choosing to cast his lot with
tho nilddlc-of-thc-rond populists. His
place was filled by tho nomination of
Michael Pressler of Hamilton county.
A motion to renominate the presidential
electors selected at Lincoln provoked con
siderable discussion, In which Asa Taylor
of Omaha took part. Tho electors wero
finally endorsed. At tho close of the
afternoon session A. C. RIcker of Iowa
spoke on the subect ot party organization.
Defore adjourning the convention decided
to adopt tho name "socialist party."
dropping tho title "democratic."
At S o'clock tho convention reassembled
and Mr. RIcker of Iowa delivered an ad
dress in which he asserted that liryan had
desorted nil of the principles which bound
hlra(tn the socialistic and popullstic ele
ments. Speaking of conditions In Iowa, he
said that six years ago the farmers were
selling goods for less than cost, farms
wero being sold by the sheriff nud popu
lists wero being mado ou every hand. To
day on tho sumo farm'n hog will bring
moro in the market than a horse would In
1894 nnd tho farmers wore all rendy to
vote tho rccpubllcan ticket.
After this speech Theodore Kharns was
chosen ns state organizer and F. H. Al
exander as seoretary-treanuror. It was
decided to levy a per capita tax of DO
cents to create a campaign fund nnd n
regular monthly per capita tax of 26 cents

DUNCAN HAS FALSE CREDIT
I'oatmnnter i;e the (imiil nnie rt
I nole Sinn to ArntUt lllin In the
Stock HnlMiiu lliiklnesN.
Deputy United States Marshal' Jnmes Wal
ling left yesterday for Kcnmey, where ho
took Oeorge W. Duncan to serve a six
months' sentence In the Iluffalo county Jail.
Duncan wns sentenced by Judge Mungcr on
a plea of guilty to tho charge of embezzling
money order funds of tho United States
while postmaster nt Pool Siding.
Tho method adopted by Duncan to securo
the funds of tho government was ns uniciuo
as It was effective. He conducted n general
merchandise store at Pool Siding nnd was
a large feeder of stock. When purchasing
n bunch of cattle hu would pny for them
with money orders Issued by 111 111 as post
master payable nt another postoluce. The
cattle would be fattened and sold nnd tho
money received would bo turned Into thu
money order fund. With tho wholesale deal
ers he was rated high, as his bills were nit
discounted with money orders, the postmas
ter falling to deposit funds In the till equal
to tho amount ot tho orders issued until
such tlmo as It wns convenient to him.
According to law tho postmasters at In
terior towns nro permitted to keep on band
a comparatively small amount in money
order funds, tho amount being regulated by
the number of udvlccs on hand from other
ofllces. In order to maintain his system ot
personal credit In tho government funds
Duncan from time to tlmo reported thu
uinount ot advices on baud much In excesj
of tho correct number, It bolus necessary
nt one time to show thnt tho advices wero
approximately 3.000. This Is an excessive,
nmount of money to bo sent to ho small an
office as Pool Siding nnd this fact, coupled
with other circumstances, caused an In
spection of tho otllce, when neither ndvlres
nor cash was found In tho till. Duncan's
nrrest followed, the shoring being made
good by his bondsmen, to whom he trans
ferred his business. It Is understood that
the bondsmen hnve turned the huslnesu
back to him after having secured tho
nmount of the money advanced by them
from his accounts.
