John S. Knox, representing the Omaha
& Fremont Hallway company, was then
given the privilege of the floor.
Omnlin A Krrmnnt Proposition.
"Our proposition," said he, "has been be
fore your board for eight months and we
are now ready, ns we have been for some
time, to have It voted on. Our company Is
chartered and Incorporated under the laws
of the state and every member of our or
ganization Is a resident and taxpayer ot
Douglas county. We arc not asking for a
blanket franchise; all we ask is the right
to build a lino from Benson to Fremont,
and we have specified the route we want to
take. Your board is thoroughly familiar
with tho terms of the contract we propose,
and If you thick they are unfair In any par
ticular we are willing to make amendments
If you but suggest tbem. All wo want Is a
franchise that will enable us to socure the
bonded aid that Is necessary for all such
enterprises ns this."
Mr. Foster of the Omaha Suburban Rail
way and Traction company stated that he
was willing to submit the matter to the
board for Immediate action.
Mr. Knox said that he had no objection
to the other company having a franchise
If St was not of the blanket sort, which
would shut his company out from the route
for which It was the original applicant,
Sulinrhnn nml Traction Otter.
The attorney for the Omaha Suburban
and Traction company then declared that
his concern had the backing ot the Fre
mont Canal and Power company and if Its
franchise had been granted last Saturday
this week would have seen the canal and
power project a reality, meaning a M.000,-
000 Investment In this county.
Mr. Knox made the point that bis com
pany was Just as willing to become a cus
tomer of the canal and power company as
wa6 the other concern, and if the financing
ot the power project and its coming to life
depended upon the construction ot an
electric railway between Omaha and Fre
mont, the only end desired would be the
building of a road, and it made no difference
whether one company or another built It
Commissioner Harte announced that be
was ready to vote on the franchise proposl
tlons, but -wanted to read the proposed con
tract with the Omaha Suburban Railway
and Traction company first.
Mr. Knox said that he wanted to be heard
as a citizen and a taxpayer.
"For every dollar ot interest I have in
the Omaha &. Fremont railway," said he,
"I have ten in other interests In this
county and while 1 speak ono word for the
railway company I want to say ten words
for myself as a citizen. The contract Just
read by Mr. Hoctor ties up all the roads
In the county to this one company for an
Indefinite time and shuts out any and all
other parties who may be willing to build
suburban railways over specified routes. It
throws a blanket over the entire county.
If our company had thought for a moment
that your board would grant such a blanket
franchise to anyone we would have applied
for one. I will say frankly as a citizen that
the proposition of the Omaha Suburban
Railway & Traction company is indefinite
and does not properly protect the Interests
of the county
Then came an embarrassing pause. No
commissioner was ready to make a mo
tlon, and the attorney for the Omaha Sub
urban & Traction company remarked that
he would move the adoption of the reso
lutlon granting hie company a franchise it
he had tuch a privilege. "It Is the only
resolution before the board," said he
"No," said Chairman Connolly, "there
are two resolutions before, the board one
has been here for eighteen months.
"As a matter of fact," put In Mr. Hoc
tor. "there Is nothlug befor the board,"

Miss Rosamond Rodklnson. The name
has a familiar sound. There Is an allitera
tive roll to It, but thobe who have met the
woman need resort to no trick of conso
nants to keep her In mind. They rememter
her as versatile and fascinating, tbo is
known In at least a half-dozen cities ot the
country as a famous beauty, a learned
savant, a globe trotter, a social queen, a
daring gamcstrcss, a man killer and a
book agent. It is said that a number of
Omaha bachelors recall having lost to her
several carefully nourished Jackpots.

It was early In March that she paused In
her cometllkc flight from coast to coast to
flash her smile upon Omaha. She came

testimonials of confidence from men ot

the dnughtcr of one of the most dls

Tho father had recently completed
translation of the Talmud. The daughter
had with ber a few de luxe volumes of this
rare and valuable work which she would
dispose of to personal friends for a con

Miss Rodklnson was Introduced Into t. I
few of the best homes of Omaha, aud In
one or two of them there was nccorded

A warrant is out for the arrest of Frank
Henry, alias Frank Silver, who Is wanted
for beating his bride of eight months and
the man with whom she was In company
at the time. The three-cornered scrimmage
Is said to have occurred near Tenth and
Dodge streets Sunday night, nnd, though a
complaint was made to the police at once,
the officers have not succeeded In locating
Henry and It is believed that be has left
the city.
Tho matrimonial experience of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry has been stormy and eventful.
Two months ago she left him because he
was unablp to keep her wardrobe up to
what she considered the proper standard.
Immediately he gave It out that he had
come Into a windfall. An estate in which
he was Interested which had been In liti
gation at Fremont, he said, bad been de
cided in his favor, leaving him something
like J50.000 to the better. This had the
desired effect. The woman fell Into the

In proportion to Its tonnage Is email In'
numbers. Eleven of its twenty-four steam-'
ers have capacities of above 10,000 tons. It j
owns the Oceaulc, the biggest steamship In'
the world, and Is building the Celtic,!
launched a few days ago, which will have!
n gross tonnage more than 3,000 tons!
greater than that of the Ooeanlc. Steam- j
ship men say that a big steamship Is much!
more profitable than a small one to operate, i
as It can be handled by a crew much
smaller In proportion to Its size.
Of the steamship companies using Amer
ican capital and having their head ofTlces
on this side of the Atlantic, the one having
aggregate tonnage will be 41.000. The New
York and Cuba Mall Steamship company
owns seventeen vctsMf, with a tonnsge of
60.047.

In furnishing a home a variety of pretty
effects can be gained by small seats which
hug the 'corners closely. Among the latest
are those with a single ornament end of
fine etched wood cut .out in an appropriate
shape. The couch It low, well cushion?;!,
equipped with some three or four pillows
of any spring-like material which matches
the seat, while the unornsmented end ti
finished simply with a frill that falls from
the cushion to the floor, the entire length
of the scat.
ThU one tall end may be an attractive
feature far those skilled In pyrograpby, but
to be at Its beet it should be made of holly
or basswood, cut In sections, and then
Joined to prevent warping. If desired, on
the Intlde of this end there can be a shelf
for books and the like. The design may .be
outlined, and then burnt In. It may have
a floral decoration, a pastoral scene or an
embellishment ot ruplds and blossoms, tak
ing care according to the rules of this art,
that It the background Is dark, the design
tbould be light, or reverse the picture leav
ing the ground work light.
As for coverings there nre charming stuffs
In cotton tapestries. Liberty cretonnes,
satesn quill and the pretty Normandy
dimities. Any of these look wMl as their
flower effects are gay and brilliant, while
the cushions may be of Prlsellla silk In any
ot the solid and delicate tints preferred.
Among the striking novelties for country
homes Is the Darby and Joan chair, a
low rocker tor two, ou the one founda
tion. The wood of heavy make is painted
In a good tone of forest green, the rush
scats In brilliant tints of red. These odd
pieces are severe In form without orna
mentation of any kind. They are different
woods like ash. walnut and heavy white
pine, which 1b painted in dark, rich colors,
their gayety lying chiefly In the stuffs with
which they are decorated.
Another pronounced style Is the King
Arthur chair, an artistic and decorative
hall or piazza furnishing, which can be
converted Into a table at need. It Is ot
walnut, roomy, low and cushioned. Its baok
Is a great oval covered Inside and out with
nut-brown leather. The ehalr when not
in use. serves as a stand for the oval, which
by closing the hinges forms a table, and Is
quite large enough for four at a game of
cards or for slight repast. There are book
shelves which bang against the wall on
which are appropriate mottos, and peculiar
lounging chairs with wide long arms held
in plare by a seat ot stout crash of striped
and plaid effects. a
For spring draperies the drop ruffle is
again to the front. The windows when
treated this wij, have first sash curtains
of dotted Swiss, which are looped back
slightly parted in the middle. At the top
of the -voodwork hangs a long, cream col
ored dimity with a flower border, or cov
ered with wild roses, and over it a deep
frill of the same design as the drapery
The trill and its hangings are on separate
brass rods ot slender make.

The statement made In connection with

Leyland line by J. Plcrpont Morgan that H
was one of Great Britain's greatest shlp
plg Institutions came as a surprise to many
people, oays the New York Tribune. Tbe

which have been mobilized to meet the de
mands of commerce.
The fleet of the Leyland line, according
to Whltaker, ranks seventh In point ot
tonnage, that of the Hamburg-American
line beiug first. The Hamburg-American
line fleet Includes 202 vessels, with a total
tonnage of 541.063 tonfc. Of these, how
ever, a large number are river steamers,
tugs and lighters. The steamships cumber
ninety-five, with a capacity of more than
500,000 tons. The second fleet In point ot
capacity also flies the German flaf;. It Is
the North German Lloyd line, with ninety-
one ocean steamers, having a tonnage ot
about 500.000. Three British companies
rank next the British India Steam Navga
tlon company, which has more than 100 ves
sels and a capacity of nearly 400.000 tons
