Is well settled. There nre many good towns
on Its line, and It Is reasonable to believe
that the road will enjoy a steady and con
tinuous Increase, of traffic
The extensions which nre now belug built

port of the expenditure of tho funds appro
priated for tho Omaha building Is ex
plained to his satisfaction.
Appropriation inverted.
Pcrkons connected with thn department
offer nn explanation of tho discrepancy be
tween the amount apparently on hand In
tho fund after tho amount expended on the
building has been accounted for nnd the
amount actually on hand at tills time. This
explanation Is as follows: Congress nn
nually appropriates for tho maintenance of
tho supervising architect's office n sum ap
proximating $200,000 and provides that this
money shall bo taken from tbo money ap
propriated for public buildings In the
United States. Under this provision of the
law tho supervising architect takes from
each appropriation for a public building a
ccrtnln amount, which In tlmo past has
averaged 10 per cent of the appropriation,
for tho expenses of his office. In tho office
of the supervising architect tho account of
tho Omana public building has been kept
open since the first appropriation was made
In 1890 nnd annually n certain amount of
the fund on hand has been transferred to
the account of the office. The totnl appro
priation for the Omaha building has been
$1,S00.0C0, and upon tho bnsls of 10 per cent
the amount contributed to the maintenance
of the office since ISnO has been $180,000, but
It Is possible, In the opinion of thoso who
understand the operation of the office, that
tho sum has exceeded that amount some
what, as fcttong appropriations arc often
drawn up In excess of 10 per cent when the
occasion damands such a course.

The bupervlsiug architect Insists that this

At ftrst glance the case had all tho ap

About 2 yesterday morning Oust liner

by a scries of confused noises across the

they struggled together for Us possession,
Huer shouting raeanwhllo for his room

Tho lunatic fought desperately without

tho blood that gushed from his hands as
tho keen steel mangled the flesh. Ho had
been sick and was emaciated In flesh, but
he had a maniac's strength, and was moro
than a match for Huer, who fought, as he
supposed, for his life. A 12-ycar-old girl,
daughter of a neighbor, who had been
aroused by tho furore, opened a door and
looked In, then ran screaming away.
Still thero was no sign of Rergstrom;

A party of Wabash operating and trafllo
officials arrived by special train from St.
l.ouls Tuesday nfternoon with tho good news
that not n day will bo lost ln rebuilding
that part of the system between Omaha nnd
rattonsburg, tho old Omaha &. St. l.ouls
line, making It a flrst-clnas, up-to-dnto rail
road. Tho officials aro mnkliig n tour of Inspec
tion over the line. They arrived nt f o'clock
nnd spent the night at Council Bluffs. Yes
terday was spent In looking oer the
terminals at the Bluffs. At 10.30 o'clock
the party came over tho Hast Omaha brldRs
nnd were mot by tho local representatives of
the company, Harry 1-3. Moores, general
agent of the passenger department, ami 17.
M. Kntrlkln. division freight agent. John
It. Webster, general manager, and J. H.
Daniels, secretary of tho Omaha Bridge, and
Terminal Railway company, also Joined the
party. A thorough Inspection was mado of
tho terminal company's properly on this
side of the river, In both Omaha nnd South
Omnhn.
If the Wabash officials are sufficiently
Impressed with tho worth of tho terminal
company's property and recommend Us pur
chase, It Is altogether probably that thn
deal will bo made. Tho terminal company
officials have done all lu their power to
convince them that tho Fast Omaha bridge
and the trackago ou both sides of the rlvs
are worth the price they ask. If the matter
of prlco Is satisfactory the transfer of the
property to tho Wnlmsh may be looked for
at an early day.

House Was To Warm
"A. C. Itaymcr, City Dear Sir' I am
vory much pleaaed with tho l-'avorlte Rase
Burner I used tho stove nearly nix months
and burned about 3,& tons of coal and used
only about 1 ton of soft coal In my nook
stove and that only on very cold mornings
and when doing extra work, aa baking, etc.
My base burner made the house so warm
that I did not need flro In my kitchen other
than my gasoline 6tovo I heated four rooms
down stairs nnd through a register In the
floor a bed loom up stairs .My only com
plaint Is that the house was too warm, but
I think I can regulate the stove better
another year.
