Edward
H. 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. Holland, tho New York cor-
icspomlent of the Philadelphia Press, thus
skotches his life.

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

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-

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-

nnrrimaM turned to a group that Is of a fortune and he Is now esteemed ono of

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

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.
Therefore, It is reasoned that by and by

doubtedly wero seeking the control of the

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 8. (Special.)
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.

V. W. Kmerson, pastor of tho l'irai

In Kansas," whereupon the nudlenco gave
thrco rousing cheers for her. Before be
ginning her address Mrs, Nation renuestcd
tho audience to rlso and sing "IVnlse .God
From Whom All Blessings Flow." She
mado n characteristic talk and tho nudl
enco enjoyed It and appeared to be In
sympathy with her. She Justified her cm
sado against the saloon by citing various
passages from tho blblo, with which she
evinced great familiarity. She did not
hato the Jolntlsts, she said, sho loved them,
but she hated tho business In which they
were engnged and meant to destroy It. She
gavo a history of her successful fight
against the Joints of Barber county, Kan
sas, and concluded by saying!
"You have heard how tho crusade ugalnst
tho 'hell holes' hns been begun nnd you
will hear how Us going Is to be continued.
Sho snld that she had Just ns much right
to destroy the Joints of Missouri ns sho
had to destroy those of Kansas. Sho based
this ossertlon upon tho clause In tho con
stitution of tho United States that Insures
to every citizen tho right to "peace, pros
perity and tho pursuit of happlnoss." She
said that tho liquor traffic was a menace to
that right and that every Joint In the
United Stntcs would be smashed.
Sho declared that she would not molest
tho Joints of Kansas City. Mo., because It
Is too large a city. "I don't propose to

Sho mado a bitter attack upon the land
lords of tho Jolntlsts, saying that they are

for the first tlmo, displayed the white

personally take partl-ln the raid, and also
see that the crusaders wcro not molested.
Tho excitemeut at the meeting was Intense,
tho woman piannlnglnlhutcly 'or the raid.
It was decided to saunxer uui. ui o

satisfactorily arranged for a terrific on
claught, Mrs. Nation balked, began putting
on her wraps and said she was going homo.
Instnutly her followers wero In an uproar.
Mingled with expressions of surprise at her
quick change of front soon camo ordtjol

spent the greater part of the evculng col
lecting hatchets and soliciting aid of tho
crusaders, rushed to where Mrs. Nat on
stood in tho center of a group, nnd, shaking
her fist In the Wichita woman's face,
shouted excitedly. "You aro a coward, Mrs.
Nation; you nro a coward."
For n moment Mrs. Nation lost contro
of herself, tho first time since sho had
started out on her smashlug tour.
"I am not a coward." Bald she, with em
phasis. "I will go this mlnuto with any

A dozen voices were raised. I 11 go;
I'll go," and for n moment It 'ooked as If
an Instant raid would result. But Mrs.
Nntlon, soon collecting herself, turned to
bantering her followers, told them sho was

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 8. A special to tho
Star from Topeka, Kan., says;
Mrs, Nation, speaking today of tho storm
of reproaches that had been directed
agntust her because of her refusal to lead
last night's raid, raid:
It was beautiful to see how npgry they
were. Why, do you know they wanted to
scratch my eyes and pull my ntvir for net
going out with them. It win n dellclnus

life. I would rather die nt the hands ef
those Indlgnnnt women than from the
saloon Keepers,
Mrs. Nation burst Into a hearty laugh.
She held her sides nnd her body shook
with merriment. Then she grew BOber
once more and snld:
I don't losu nnythlng by tho Indlgnntlnii

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." Continuing, tho member
named over half a dozen or more repub
licans who opposod Kelly nt tho time bo
wns elected mayor. Now they want hlra
to remain in office. Councilman Ed John
ston has returned from his trip to Lin
coln nud he says that tho charter will be
seriously considered next week. He advo
cates tho various factions to get togethor
and pull for tho bill, entirely eliminating
tho spring election feature. Mr. Johnston
asserts that It there Is concerted action
on tho part of South Omaha citizens tho
charter can bo passed, but as it Is tho com
mittee on cities nnd towns Is at sea, as
so many vnrylng Interests hnve to be con
sidered, Johnston thinks thnt If the charter
as now prepared, with possibly one or two
changes, enn be agreed upon, tho matter
of nn election enn como up nnd n fight
mado for a single section and thus not
Jeopnrdlzo tho entire charter.

Councilman Kd Johnston of tho Fourth
ward Is Indignant nt the slurs cast upon
his reputation by nn uptown Hhoet yes
terday In connection with nn article of tho
poor servlco being given the city by tho
Thomson-Houston company. This sheet
says that the council met in secret session
and granted the franchise. In this con
nection Mr. Johnston said last evening:
"This matter was brought up In open ses
sion of tho council. Tho records show
that tho ordlnanco was Introduced some
tlmo lu AugUBt, 1S99, and was passed by
tho council on October 26, 1899. I havo
riere a copy of The Beo of October 27, 1S99,
which gives on tho first page a half column
or moro account of tho meeting, which
wns an adjourned ono and not a secret
session by nny means. This matter of a
franchise for tho Magic City Klectrlc Light
and Power company was talked of for weeks
and opponents of tho mensuro even went
into court and secured n restraining ordev.
Tho city, however, won tho caso and then
tho franchise ordinance was taken up and
passed. I am preparing n statement of the
matter, which I shall have ready for tho
press within a few days."

It wus rumored yesterday afternoon that
a special meeting of tho city council would
bo called for noon today for the purpose of
taking somo action on tho lssuo of $70,000
refunding bonds, Mayor Kelly's visit to
Council Bluffs Thursday resulted In a let
ter from Mr. Hannan requesting thnt the
city pay $200 for nil attorney's opinion on
tho bond proposition. Mr. Hnnnon asserts
that he has expended nil tho money he can
afford on tho matter, but opines that a cer-
tain law firm ho has In mind will possibly
given nn opinion favorable to the city. If
tlicro Is a special meeting It will be for
tho purpose of considering this letter of
