Harrlmon, tho master spirit atcst rnllroad deal In the world's of tho great history, Is now hailed as Edward mo Firsi of railroad monarchs. Western people are somewhat familiar with Mr. Harrlman since his connection with tho Unlou Pacific, but so qulot nnd unassuming In tho discharge of his duties ns chairman of the board of directors that comparatively few persons havo been able to "slzo him up," as tho faying gooJ, nnd to most peoplo his career is a blank.

Mr. Hnrrlinon's Hbo has been rapid nnd Ills greater achievements nave roiioweu ono another with the swiftness with which n successful genernl brings long matured or thought they had with the Illinois Cen- nnu so in ono sense he Is, but It Is u mis plans to a climax. It was no longer ago tral. Incidentally It may bo said that Wll- leading description. A promoter puro and than 1S93 that Mr. Harrlmnn was In anxiety Ham Harrlman was nt ono tlmo tho be- 'Himplo Is no moro than a middleman who if not In desDalr. Ho was by no means alono In his desperation then, C. V. Huntington was driven nt bay In that memorable sum- mor and only savod himself by threatening to pull down the wholo structure even though In doing thnt ho Involved himself n tho ruins. Ho said: "Lend mo tho money I want or I will dump nil of my securities upon the mnrket." Other wealthy men who wero upholding grcnt Interests went about with pulo faces until at last they wero assured that tho clearing house committee would como to tho rescue of the market nnd for proof they saw J. Edward Simmons hnstoulng to tho ocean cnblo olllco lata ono eyenlng with a telegram for Lon- don stating thnt tho clearing houso of Now York, the next day, would Issue certificates and stay tho panic. But tho difference between Mr. Harrlman and many of tho others who wcro anxious at that tlmo vns that he was practically just beginning ins greater career, wnuu they had already achieved important things. For him the republic has been oppor tunity. His father was a clergyman lu Kw Jrrsev. Ho did not bealicatll to his children any wealth or any opportunities, but they did Inherit from him strong in- tellcct. When ho wns a boy Harrlman's constructive genius was contlnunlly giving hints of what his career was to be. Unlike Mr. Huntington, who possessed in his enrly youth tho Instinct of trading, tho quality that would havo made of him a great suop keeper, young Harrlmnn seemed to havo no tasto for business of that kind. It Is doubtful whether ho would have ever ac cumulated a fortune through bargaining and saving. He was a planner, In the best benso of the word, a schemer.. Ho saw ounortunltles. and when ho did not see thm h created them. Huntington was 40 years of ago beforo he developed that quality, Hnrrlman came to New York when In his teens, went naturally cuough to Wall street and began his active career there as broker. Ho mastered the broker's bust- hs. but Its opportunities wero not great ugh for his active and creative intellect, . wan not satisfied to make oven tho hand- mo gains which fat commissions fur- u. shed. Therefore, he took a now step, no becamo a private banker as well as a broker and orgaulzed a banking house which sub- sequently passed over .to a brother ami cousin with Nicholas Fish as a special partner, H was as a banker that Mr, Harrlman first became associated with Stuyyesant Fish, who has been so long Identified with the Illinois Central railroad, and It Is Mr, Fish's brother, Nicholas, who Is now the special partner In the banking house or- vide employment for Idlo people," which Bras responded to by saying that the only place from which such a motion could corao would bo from Hodflcld, where the Home for Feoble-Mlnded Is located.

LETTER BETRAYS LUVERNE I'rlKiinrr Ill-ruptured After u Voiir's . livelier from ..Soiilli DuKolii Penitent Inry. SIOUX FALLS, S. I)., Feb. 8. (Special.) After being at liberty nearly a year, Les ter Luvcrne, an escaped prisoner from the Sioux Falls penitentiary, has been recap tured at Bcssemor, Mich. Warden Bowler of tho penitentiary, by means of n photo graph, has positively Identified a man under nrrcst there as Luvcrne, who with five other prisoners mado n sensational escape from tho Sioux Falls penitentiary April 19, 1900. Luvernp was serving n term, of four years for tho robbery of the postofflce at Clark, S. D. His detection was due to a woman resid ing nt Madison, S. I), It was expected that Luvcrne would Join her at Madison or else- where ns soon ns it .was sate for him to do so after his escape, and sho has been under constant surveillance. On one occaston she mado a trip to the Pacific coast and, be lieving that sho had gone there to Join Lu vcrne, her movements wcro watched. But tho fugitive did not put In an appearance. She returned to Madison and a short time ago Luverne's whereabouts were ascertained by Intercepting a letter from him to her, and his nrrest speedily followed. Of tho six prisoners who escaped last April, Lou McCormlck wns,' recaptured after being at liberty only about an hour. Within twenty-four hours Peter Shea, another of tho fugitives, was recaptured at Hills, Minn., nnd relumed to tho penitentiary. Tho other four, Harry K. Leroy, William Dockory, William Miller nnd Lester Lu vcrne, escaped the officers who wero on ganlzed by Mr. Harrlman, but with which ho Is no longer associated, at least pub- nciy. That banking houso hns had somo hnppy experiences, chief among them being tho clientage of William K. Vanderbllt. Through Mr. Fish Mr. Harrlmnn becamn Identified with tho Illinois Central nnd at ono time his relation to that property caused criticism nnd accusation that would havo worried a man of less self-rollanco than Mr. Hnrrlman. It did react In cer- tain unexpected ways, aB, for Instancs, tho roluctance of tho Union club to recelvo his brother, William Harrlman, as a member was undoubtedly due to somo unpleasant experiences members of the Union club had trothed of Miss Anna Gould, who nftcr- ward married Count Boul do Castellanc. merely puld for his ability In getting cer- to consummato plans -which his tireless lain Interests together.

Mr. Tho greater part of Mr. Harrlman's vast nnrrimaM turned to a group that Is of a fortune and he Is now esteemed ono of younper generation than Mr. Kennedy. Ho 'ho men of New York who count their Kol vory ncar t0 jncob gchlff, nnd especially wealth by many millions hns . been ac- t0 jjr, gpeycr, n younger man still, who cumulated slnco 1S33.

Ho was well-to-do beforo 1803, and deri,m t0 refund tho entire bonded debt of " no had been of tho generation that was ,no Lako shoro rawny on 3i(i ncr ccnt basis. Mr. Harrlman must hnvo been maturing bis plans with tho utmost patlcnco since 1S93, but It was not until his strategy was developed with respect to tho Union Pacific property that his high place as a leader was acknowledged. Slnco then he has been mov Ing with grcnt swiftness, suggesting the military commander who works out with In- finite detail the plans nnd tho strategy of ah extensive campaign and then of n sudden executes them witn amazing, siupciying swiftness and success. It is for this reason that Mr. Harrlman's latest encouuter with very powerful In- ftuences that also wanted the Southern Pacific Is regarded after nil as only a step In tho direction of tho consummation of plnns yet to be rovenled. Any one who takes a man that shows n detail me various t railway systems of tho United States will no sure to be impressed witn one signincani feature, and that Is that tho Southern Pacific system Is naturally and geograph- Ically a nenrer ally of tho Southern Ball- way system than it Is of the Union Pacific, At Now Orleans the Southern Pacific nnd the Southern Hallway meet. From that point westerly tho Southern Pacific Bweeps through Tsxas nnd 'southern California up 10 san r rancisco. From New Orleans, east- erly the Southern Hallway, with numerous fibers or tcudrlls that clutch at the greater part oi me soutn, sweeps northeasterly to- ward Daltlmore, nnd theso two systems would seem, It governed by tho laws that must be obeyed If there bo porfect com- blnntlou, to belong to one another.

There Is little doubt that means wilt bo found whereby Sioux Falls can accept tho $25,000 offered by Andrew Carnegie, through Senator Pcttlgrew, for tho construction of a public library building In this city. The feature which somewhat complicates the matter Is tho 'act that a year or more ago W. H. Lyon and wife, old residents of the city, donated to Sioux Falls a building for public library purposes. However, Bcvcrnl plans have been suggested by which tho t city would not be prevented trom ncceptlng tho gift of Mr. Carnegie, especially when Mr. Lyon himself has expressed himself In 1 favor of ncceptlng tho gift. 1 liieorpornle.

I j'H'i't'f A momber of tho legislature said yes terday that when tho committee In chnrpo of the South Omaha charter finished Its work on tho document tho people of tho Magic City would need nn Introduction to tho document. Ono great complaint Is that tho charter as now drawn gives tho chief executive entirely too much power. "One funny thing In Lincoln," said this member, "Is tho fact that many republicans who opposed tho election of Mnyor Kelly are now sounding his praises and are doing everything they can to prevont a spring election. Another point which looks sus picious to us republicans Is the fact that the fusion forces nre exceedingly nnxlous to prevent un election In South Omnha this spring."
