A delegation composed of seven proml
ucnt citizens of F.tnporls. Kan , visited
S-ju'.h Omaha yesterday In the Intcrcat of
the proposed Kansas Southern railroad.
Thp delegation was made up as follows
Charles S. Wheeler, president of the Kan
sas Southern Railroad company, C A.
S'annard, owner of the famous Sunny
Slope Hereford stock farm; Major Hood,
president of one of the banks at Kmporla,
1 E. Katubert. United States district at
toruey at Emporia; Milton Wllbite. C'lar.
erne Holmes and It. J. Edwards
It was about noon when the party ar
rived In the Maglr f'U and after beinK
shown over a portion of the stock ards,
1'imb was served in the Exchange dining
lootu. Hit' visitor being the guests of Gen
eral Manager Kenyon of the Union Stock
Yards lompany. as were also President
Tlnn and Secretary Watklna of the South
Umahn Commercial club
meeting of members of the Live Stock
exchange was called for the purpose of
nii-ctiug the lsltors and discussing the
itir line road which It Is proposed to con
struct between Omaha and Emporia.
When the meeting was called to order
l J. A Hake, president of thp Live Stock
fuhange, there was a first-class attend
ance of representative business men of the
ili, Indudlng, of course, members of the
exchange.
I'retlili-iil Whrrlrr TiilL.
Charles S. Whceler,prcsldent of the Kan
sas Southern, was the first speaker. Briefly
Mr Wheeler stated the proposition. He
raid that the Kansas Southern road pro
poses to organize a railroad company In
Nebraska which will construct and put In
operation a tlrst-class railroad extending
from Omaha practically In n direct lino
south to the Nebraska-Kansas state line,
there to connect with the line of the Kan
has Southern, extending through to Em
poria. This will be done providing Doug
las county will vote bonds In the sum of
J2S0.0OO.
Continuing, President Wheeler said that
the general offices and shops of the com
pany would be located In Omaha nnd that
two citizens of Omaha would be members
of the board of directors. Mr. Wheeler
also spoke of the need of a road for stock
men to get to this market, and he asserted
that the scheme was a first-class business
proposition, doing Into details. President
Wheeler told how the Kansas Southern had
grown from a road nine miles long up to
Its present proportions. He urged the
voting of bonds by the county of Douglas,
faying that cattle would be shipped to this
market nnd Nebraska corn hauled back.
Attorney F. A. llrogan of Omaha Intro
duced the visiting delegates to the mem
bers of the exchange and others, nnd other
wise asslted In making the visitors feel at
home.
Major Hood, president of the Emporia
National bank, was called for and said that
at least four-llfths of the business trans
acted by the bunks of Emporia was In con
nection with the cattle business. He as
serted that the residents of Lyon county,
Kansas, realized that another outlet for
their cattle Is needed and therefore they
want a north and south line which will
connect with Omaha. Such a road, he said,
would brlns cittle to this market and haul
corn from Nebraska back to the feed lots
of the Sunllower state. In conclusion, the
major said that If access was given to
the South Omaha market stock now sent to
Kansas City and St. Joseph would come to
Omaha.
(iriMit Caltli- Country.
District Attorney Lambert spoke for some
little time on the project and gave nn in
teresting dissertation on the prospects of
the proponed road. Emporia, he si; Id, was
a city of 10.0)0 Inhabitants and the four
banks In that city had on deposit Jl.MO.OOO.
It Is a great cattle country, ho asserted,
and by promoting the Interests of the Kan
sas Southern, South Omaha people would be
benefitting themselves. Going Into figures,
the speaker showed that last year the ter
ritory tributary to this proposed road
shipped to market cattle worth Jj40.000.
The suggestion that the road be continued
to the gulf was also made. Sheep from
Arizona and New Mexico would, Mr. Iam
bert said, be diverted at Emporia for this
market Instead of going to markets farther
down the river. In conclusion, Mr. Lam
bert said that If the road was built cattle
from his state would be luwling at the
doors of the packing bouses here anxious
to he slaughtered.
C. a. Staunard, P C Newman and Mil
ton Wllheit made short addresses along the
jamo lints.
Cbaliman Hake called upon Mayor Kelly
for an expression, and In response the
mayor said that he felt Justified In saylnc
that the unanimous expression of the peo
ple of Douglas county was the best of
wishes of tho promoters of the road, along
with promises of liberal patronage when
constructed.
General Manager Kenyon of the Stock
Many a woman has periodic crying
spells. She meets her husband with
eyes red and swollen and he cries out :
What has happened ? '' " Nothing" his
wife replies. "I don't know what is the
matter with me, but I jut had to have
a Rood cry." Men don't have crying
spells. It would seem therefore that an
affection confined to women must have
its cause in the womanly nature. There
is no doubt that a diseased condition of
the delicate womanly organs, is in gen
eral responsible for feminine nervous
ness and hysteria.
The use of Dr. Pierce's l'avcrite Pre
scription nukes women happy by malt

more Interested In a north aud south road
than the packers and the yrds company
of South Omaha. He sail for years the
Stock Yardt company had be'tt trying to
Ret southern cattle to thu market, nnd
with a uorth and south road the object
would be accomplished. The propwei
line, Mr. Kenyon said, would bear the same
relation to South OmabA as the Grand
Island tc St. Joseph road does to St. Jo
seph. As for a terminal In South Omaha,
Mr. Kenyon surcd the delegates that
there would be no difficulty about that
when the time comes.
After one or two more short addresses
the meeting adjourned and many of those
present were Introduced to the visitors.
L'pon leaving for Omaha the delegates ex
pressed themselves as being well plcasd
at the cordial reception tendered them and
with the hearty manner m which the Sou.h
Omaha people seemed to take hold of the
bond proposition.

On Friday evening the South Omaha Com
mercial club will meet In the council cham
ber for the purpose of electing nine di
rectors. The board of directors is com
posed of eighteen and nine are elected each
year. After the directors are elected the
officers for a year are thosen.
On account of the large number of Im
portant matters to be considered, owing to
the change in the charter eery member
of the club Is urged to attend th meeting
on Friday night
Among the questions to be taken up are
the voting of bonds for a public library
site, for a park and for various other Im
plements all badly needed. The desire
of the present officers and directory is
that all members attend in order to be
come conversant with the existing condi
tion of affairs and decide upon some line
of action to be followed out. Since the
charter permits a luvy for library purposes
and a building Is assured as soon as n
site l chosen, tho business men of the
city feel that steps should be taken at
once to place the city in a position to ac
cept the generous offer of Andrew Carnegie.
As for the officers It Is generally con
ceded that the directory will, without hesi
tation, select John Klynn for president
again and J. II. Watklns for secretary.
These two officials have performed a great
deal of hard work during their terms of
office and are certainly entitled to further
consideration.
Mrei-l It r pn I r I'uiuls.
Mayor Kelly has decided to curtail ex
penses In the street department until such
time as there Is money on hand to carry
on the work. A statement to this effect
was made to the city council Tuesday night
and therefore all resolutions ordering work
on the streets will be laid on the table for
the time being.
That the street department Is an expen
sive one Is shown by the records on file.
Here li a list of expenses In this depart
ment by months, commencing with the
fiscal ytar. August, J2.S6J.Si, September,

which was repaid, making a total of 19.3S3. !
The levy. Including money received from
the county road fund, brought the totat '
revenue of the fund up to J9.33s.62.
Those who nra compelled to drive about I
tho city say that the streets, uotwithstand
Ing the large expenditure of money, are in
very bad condition. With all work dis
continued for the time being and spring
rains coming on some of the roads will be
well nigh. Impustable and eomplalnu will
be coming In at a 'rapid rate. Just how

At the meeetlug of the Southwest Im
provement club last night the first speaker
was Councilman Hascall. on the subject
of the proposed change in the grade of
Twenty-fourth street He said one thin?
Is certain, the property owners on the!
street would pay the cost, as the coun-ll
is resolved to leave no loopholes In ordin
ances through which the dwners may es
cape. He urged the members of the clib
to see that the street Is fifty feet wide be
fore any work is done, that the majority
of the property owneds should sign he
waiver of damages before the petition Is
presented to the council.
Councilman Trostler endorsed the re
marks of Councilman Hascall and gac wny
to Councilman I.obeck. who agreed fully
with the councilman from the First ward.
He thought that all grades should be finally
established before any work Is started,
and that Twenty-fourth street should be
prepared to become the Important thor

After the matter had been discussed at

A committee consisting of J. Stecvan,

that If the storm water sewer on Twenty

According to the opinion of J. K. L'lt. sc
rctary of the Commercial club, the pending
consolidation of the Burlington with other
railroad Interests will l'avc a beneficial
erfect upon the trade of Omaha.
"If It dcvclopes that these systems are o
be united," said he, ''Omaha wholesale trade
will receive an Impetus which will oils t
any changes In headquartors which may fol
low. In the first place, these changes in
headquarters would not. in the nature of
things, be made Immediately, while o'h'-r
things would have to ociur which would
materially assist this city. The cumbini
Hon would certainly make it necessary ior
the combined roads to build a line from
Hillings to Great Falls, Mont., to gle closer
connection between the Or u Northern aud
the short lino of the Ilurllngton into tni
territory. The buslnoss in this territory
now goes east by the way of St. Paul. A?ln
the closer connection betwe..tj ihs Durilns
ton and North. rn Pacific at Hillings would
gte Omaha shippers a much Improved
service into Montana, both us to time aud
rates.
Omnlin thu Co ii ii it tl ii n Point.
"There is a bis railroad system in i-outh
Dakota controlled by this interest which
at present docs no good to Omaln. To the
south of us Is the gnat system of the
Burlington. It will be only natural that
these two systems will be connected and
Omaha will be the point of connection.
Such a line would open to Omaha a terri
tory which It U now practically excluded
from.
"I believe that the reported construction
of the line from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
Is quite reasonable, and when It Is built It
will be of vast Importance to Omaha, as It
will open up a territory to tho business
men of this city which now- transacts all
of Its business with the cast over the Santa
Fe. Urletly these aru the reasons why I
consider that the consolidations now an
nounced will be of great benefit to Omaha.
It Is not probablo that the headquarters
of the combined roads would be removed
to Chicago for many years, if at all. Con
tracts with other towns and In some cases
important and valuable franchises may de.
pend upon the maintenance of the head
quarters where bow located."

The first public sale of goods for the ben

Hold for far less than their regular mar

highly gratifying to the committee. The
goods offered for sale are the cchlblts In
the recent exposition and are the best of
their kind. The auction was well at

The sale will be resumed this afternoon
ana evening and will be continued until
all the goods are disposed of. It Is sup

Saturday. The mo3t expensive article disposed of
last night was a large cabinet letter tie.

market price than the cheaper ones. Such
small articles as carriage lanterns, pillows,

The stock of groceries was materially

A meeting .of the general passenger
agents of the fourteen roads interested in
tho tstabltjhment of an interchangeable
mileage in the territory between tho Mis
souri river and the Colorado common
points will be callul in Chicago about May
IS. at which time It Is expected thai the
final arrangements will be it dc for the
establishment of the service d- June 1.
Some time ago the announcement was
made that the Burlington and the Santa
Fo would offer an Interchangeable tUket
independently. This followed the action
of tho Western Passenger association In
denying the privilege of the bureau to
become n branch of the Western associ
ation. The notice of the two roads men
tioned was sent out by the Burlington &
Missouri River with the authority of the
Santii Fe, and notice of the action was
sent to the other twelve roads, with an
Invitation to Join U the plan. This action
was taken under the agreement which al
lows flvo days In which to fllo notice of

Perry Robinson, colored, has been Iden
tified us the fello who robbed J. H. Vam
plcu of a gold watch Sunday evening on
South Thirteenth street between Douglas
and Dodge streets. The thief ran down the
alley aed escaped. An hour later Detec
tives Hcitfcldt and Donahue arrested a
half dozen colored men on suspicion and
Vampleu picked Robinson out of the bunch
as his assailant. Robinson denied his
guilt and as the watch was not found In his
possession It seemed doubtful for a time
that he was the right one.
A watch, which proved to bo Vamplcu's,
was pawned Tuesday morning in a South
Tenth street pawnshop by Marcus Terrill,
colored. He confessed his part In the
transaction when arrested In South Omaha
Tuseday afternoon by Partolmen Russell
nnd Thomas. Terrill said the watch h&d
been given him by Gabe Wayne, al3o col
ored, who was arrested at the same time
by the Omaha officers. Wayne told them
that he had got the timepiece from Robin
son. Enough more was learned to stistau
tlate Terrlll's story and he was held ?s a
state's witness. ItoKlnson was charged
with larceny from the person and Wayne
with being an accessory before and after
tho fact.

plained that they wero In hts office and that

of Councilman Hascall aud several other
