THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; TTTESDAY, MAY 20. 1902. i is'-., y . y x y i ff ;JA PRICE BAKING POWDER CO, CHICAGO. MILEAGE BUREAU FOR OMAHA Office for Sale of Hew Script Books to Be Located Here. NORTHWESTERN FAST TRAIN MAKES TRIP Other Chicago-Omaha Line Announce They Will Sot Undertake to Meet Northwestern aad . . Rock Ialand Cats. Twelve railroad systems of the transmls ourl country have dow adopted tbe Inter changeable mileage scheme and tbe loca tion of tbe general offices for tbe bureau bat been secured for Omaha. This last fact bas caused a wall of regret to rise up from officials of railroads with headquarters In Kensas City and also from the newspaper of that place, but as far as tbe new Insti tution Itself le concerned all tbe lines are (lad to get It at last. Tbe script book system, planned by Gen eral Passenger Agenta Francis of tbe Bur lington, Lomax of tbe Vnlon PacISc, Bu chanan of the Fremont, Elkhorn t Mis souri Valley and Nicholson of the Santa Fe, will be used and the books will be placed on ssle July 1 at all offices of roads concerned. Between now and that date the bureau will be established here and Messrs. Francis, Buchanan and Assistant General Passenger Agent Fort of the Vnlon Pacific have been appointed an executive commit tee In charge of this. This committee wilt select the bureau agent, find offices and start the thing running and will also con tinue to have supervision over tbe affairs and expense, of the. bureau till the expira tion of Its term, on year hence. The com mittee expect 1 to determine upon an agent this week and will secure office In some downtown business block so sltusted that enlargement t any time will be possible. The twelve main systems Involved include about fifteen more proprietary lines. There are still some roads left In this territory that have not entered tbe arrangement. It la expected that the bureau business will enlarge to an enormous extent with, the passing of a few months. At first tbe sales of books will be slow proportionately, for their existence will not be so generally known and tbelr method understood. So half a dotcn clerks may be enough to tide the agent over for a few weeks. But as the .sale Increases the force will of necessity be Increased, and by the time the outstand ing lines And what an advantage It I and discover that they must have It In order to compete with the others the business still more. General Paasenger Agent Francis of th Burlington has Just returned from Kansas City, where the meeting at which tbe scheme was adopted was held, and he is well pleased at the prospect. This script Interchangeable mileage plan has been his t Idea for some time. Bald he: "I feel ertsJa that In a comparatively short time our bureau will be doing as large a business as any In tbe country. That will mean 100 or so clerks before long. We certainly have the travel out here, and as soon as the benefits of tbe system become widely known very general traveler will use the books." The systems co-operating In the bureau are: Vnlon Pacific, Fremont, Elkhorn A Missouri Valley; the Nebraska and Missouri lines of the Burlington, Kansas City 4V Omaha, Chicago, St. Paul, Mlnneapolta A Omaha: Denver A Klo Grande, Gulf, Kansas City 8oulhern.

The one topic of general discussion on railroad row Is tbe Chicago A Northwestern passenger train which It ft Vnlon station here at S o'clock Sunday night and slowed Into Chicago at 7 o'clock Monday morning. Though all railroaders knew tbst the time could bs made easily enough no one thought It would be, and the movement of the Northwestern In establishing this servlco was so sudden that people had hardly real lied th significance of the announcement before the train Itself had gone. Aa yet no other railroad has taken any ateps to duplicate this schedule, nor even to equal that of the new Chicago, Rock Island A Paclfio train, which also started Sunday and which does the journey In twelve hour and a half.

Mr. Jenkins left Ban Salvador en April 21. juat three days after th earthquake which worked such awful loss of llfs and property In the neigh boring republic ot Guatemala. 'There have been several earthquakes In Central America since my residence there," said Mr. Jeoklcs, "but tbat of Juns IS was ths most violent I ever felt. Tbe shock wss felt In th city of Salvador at 8:10 in th venlng. Just when the streets were crowded with people, and something approaching a panic ensued. The shaking lasted at least a minute and a quarter, and you may gala some Idea of Its severity when I tell you that an Incandescent light hanging by wire from the celling ot mi office swung tea inches to and fre Ilk ths pendulum of a clock. Although the shock was severe and startling there was no serious damage In the city of Ban Salvador. The loss ot life In Guatemala, from the beat estimates 1 was able to secure before leaving, was be tween TOO and too. .

Ulloa arrived at New Orleana on March 6, 1766, with two companies of Spanish In fantry, commanded by Piernaa, and tbe su perior council, influenced by Lafrenlere, de manded that he exhibit the authority by which be claimed to take possession ot tbe colony. In response, Ulloa denied the authority of the council, declared it waa a mere municipal organisation and asserted that be would deal only with L'Abbadle'i successor. Governor Aubry, as tbe repre sentative of the king ot France. Up to this time, Aubry had been writing to tbe French court in support of the popular protest against ths cession to Spain, but from this time on, be acted with Ulloa, and against tbe revolulonlsts. His attitude was that ot a ataunch French royalist, deeply grieved at the Iocs ot North America to France, but unwilling to traverse In any way what he knew to be the king's wishes. Ulloa's own attitude waa characteristic. He saw that the discontent was great and increasing and bs refused to take formal command until reinforcements had been sent from 8paln to enable him to maintain himself. He governed through Aubry, who aa commander of the French troops then. In Louisiana, used them ss far aa be could to support Ulloa and the treaty of cession, against the revolutionists. It does Ulloa Justtcs to say that he was wholly unfit to deal by the usual Spsnlsh methods with the conditions of revolt he found in the colony. Hs waa a man of gen ius, a thinker, a philosopher and a scientist perhaps th greatest Spain haa produced. He bad been the correspondent ot Newton and Voltaire. He waa a member ot the leading learned societies of Europe and waa honored by all of them for bis own attain ments. He founded the first cabinet of natural history In Spain, and the discovery ot platinum Is attributed to him. He made Important experiments In electricity and magnetism, encoursged the development ot engraving and printing, mad Improvements in tbe manufacture of woolens, and In as tronomy and mathematics rendered services which were recognized and valued by the scientists of bis dsy, to such an extent that after bis expulsion from Louisiana, he was an object of curiosity to travelers la Epsln, much ss Edison now la to travelers In America. Towsend. an English traveler who visited him in 1795. found him a man of small stature, extremely thin and bent, but full of wit and learning, sprightly in his conversation aad surrounded by a litter of books, trunks, chslrs, fossils, mathemat ical Instruments, old umbrellas, typs, shells. American antiquities and tb other curious debris ot his work as a scientistamong which played the children he bad had by tbe young wife whom, when mors than 60 years - of ago, hs aad auarrted at Nw DISLIKE DILATORY TACTICS District Judges Annoyed by Kumbsr of Continuance! Bequtitod. CROWDS COURT WORK IN HOT WEATHER Jadge Says Snpreme Ceart Oaght to Retara to Former riaa of Tak ing Ip Appraled Cases by Districts. The dignity cf their office forbids any show of temper, but the district Judges don't hesitate to say that they dislike to see attorneys pursuing their present dlla- tory tactics. They are piling up more work for the end of the term, than it may be possible to dispose of properly. "It Is going to he too hot to try casea after tbe middle of June," said one of the judges yesterday morning, "and so for th'S term It waa arranged that there be but six weeks jury work. Tbe Jurors first drawn are already in their third week, so that we have less than a month more for Jury cases. Vet attorneys are persisting in de mands for continuance after continuance. so that the last two weeks ar certain to be overcrowded. "Often th? excuse for demanding the de lay Is that tbey have to be In supreme court at Lincoln, and I wish the higher court would return to its former plan of taking cases by districts. When tbst system wss in practice the court disposed of all the esses of one district before taking up those of another, and in this way the attorneys of each district would be there for several successive sitting and then be through for some time. Now tbey have to be there for every sitting, ss something from this dis trict is heard at all of them, and the result Is that here in district court we make tbe call Monday morning only to be told, fre quently, that counsel will have to be In Lin coln the next two dare and cannot be ready before the last of the week to proceed in our court." An Action for Possession. "Yes, and sometimes tbose chaps go fish ing or give their time to ether matters that have nothing to do with courts, after we have . continued the cases," remarked an other Judge, with a dry smile. "There is a young attorney no,w practicing at this bar and who is said to stand a good chance of filling a judicial seat before long who fooled me badly about eighteen months ago, but so neatly that I had to forgive him. I contin ued a case for him because be said he had to be in Lincoln on a certain day. Later I learned that he had been married there on that day, and I spoke to him about it. " 'I thought you told me you had a case on in Lincoln,' I said. " 'I did, judge,' he answered with a serene mile, 'and a mighty Important case It waa.' ' 'What kind of an action waa it?' I de manded. " 'For possession,' he answered. 'I began it three years ago and have been pleading pretty nearly ever alpce. In fact I was In court, or rather In chancery, most of the time, and finally when I pressed for an an swer to my original petition and got It, you surely couldn't blame me for dropping other sulta to dispose of this one.. I wish, too, that your wife would come out and call on the defendant. She la cow my wife, you understand.'" CUPID IN BOTTLE OF WINE Arrow Strikes Heart '- Ot Montanlan and He. Most Get Married. Thomas Heldt. afl the' way from Montsna. spent $20 Sunday' ntght in wining and dining Esther Fleming and because she would not then consent to marry htm tad her arrested. After. the officera found that Heldt wss not of age and that he did not have the consent Of his parents to marry and the woman had stated that she would serve a term in the penitentiary be fore she would consent to herd cattle in Montana she waa releaaed and Heldt was locVed up In order to prevent him from spending $11 which be tad saved out ot the wreck and to give htm an opportunity to get over the effects ot his touch of high life. Heldt met the woman Sunday night and at once fell in love with her and proposed that she go with him to Montana, there to live in peace and plenty the rest ot her davs. "She seemed willing," said tbe American Ulloa the Signal for Hostile Demonstrations. Orleana while waiting to be expelled by ths revolutionists. He was highly educated in navigation, but ao eccentric and so de voted to study that when a commodore in the Spanish navy on one. of the most im portant expeditions of hi life, he had be come immersed In study and forgot to open the sealed orders on which tb result of th expedition depended. This was the man who, with two compa nies of infantry, had been aent to take pos session of half a continent ceded by the king of France to btB "very dear and well beloved cousin, the king of Spain," at tba same time the other half bad been sur rendered to his English . enemies. The peaceable and eccentric Spanish scholar, with his corporal's guard of soldiers, found the English aggressive in their determina tion to control the Mississippi and in Lou isiana itself he found a rebellious popula tion which he suspected ot corresponding with the English to secure their help in tbe event ot the failure of tbe mission on which Milhct had been sent to the court ot France. The only sensible thing Ulloa could do on learning the situation was to temporize and postpone running up the Spanish flag at New Orleans, and he did It. Before fully learning what the altuatlon was, however, he had carried out tba policy of Spain In a way which forced the revolu tion to IsMie. An absolute monopoly control of th trade of lis colonies was then the policy of Spain, as It was of England, and the first Amer ican revolution was forced In Louisiana by the same cause which forced the be ginning ot tb second In the English col onies oa the Atlantic. In September, 1766, Ulloa. who was then acting through Aubry as the representa tive of France under the treaty, caused "a score of soldiers, with fixed bayonets, pre ceded by a drum, whose loud beating at tracted the attention and excited the anger ot the Inhabitants," to psrsde ths streets of New Orleans and to proclalu the new decrees of navigation, under which the masters ot all vecoels reaching the port were ordered to present themselves before him tbst bs might set the prices at which their cargoes were to be sold. In the event of tbelr refusal to accept the price established by him and his board of ap praisers, they were not to bo allowed to sell In tbe colony, and In the event ot their acceptance tbey were to receive In pay ment ths paper money of ths colony, then so depreciated tbat 1 In coin exchanged for ft in paper. And added to all this they were ordered to take one-third ot their return cargo In lumber and other products of th colony. The majority of the common psopl were already tn sympathy with Lafrenlcro and this decree of Ulloa. drove over to hint the powerful commercial Lauretta ot New Or- young man, "and proposed thst w go to a restaurant and talk it over. While there she ordered a $1 41 supper and when t asked her what she wanted to drink aha called for a bottle of wine. That cost an 1 $3. Then we took a wslk around and stopped In at some wine room, where sh kept calling for beer and I kept buying un til I had spent S. Then sha told mo to wslt a minute and she would be back, and ahe didn't come. Now. Mr. Policeman, wouldn't you think If a woman would drink with you that way that she ought to marry you?" When the officer told him he knew of no j law by which he could fore Esther to marry him Heldt'a love turned to bate and with a wild flourish of arms he declared tbat he "would never marry no woman on earth." ARGUE FOR FIRE CORONER Member of Commercial Clab Meet the Coaacllmen In Gea eral Committee. After the coon recess cf the city counc'l i a beard of equalization it met in gen eral committee for the purpose ot consid ering the question of the appointment of fire coroner. There were present on be half of the Commercial club C. H. Pickens, H. Dumont, Mr. Horbstetler and H. O. Beatty. Mr. Beatty represented the club In favor of the appointment, ssylng that the reduction of two points on the schedule rate, which the manager of the Insurance union would be allowed when a fire coroner waa appointed, would save to the purchasers of Insurance In the city between $12,000 and $15,000, as there Is more than $300,000 psld annually for insurance In this city. Ha aald the reason tbe companies desired the appointment of a coroner was to save tbe companies from the danger of damage suits where a party waa prosecuted under tbe laws agstnat arson, and to take from tbem the odium which attaches to com panies when they litigate a case. Mr. Pick ens spoke In favor of the plan as a business proposition, the expenditure of probably $2,400 a year by the city to save $12,000 a year to the citizens. Members of the council expressed them selves as opposed to the plan, particularly Mr. Trostler. who aald tbat If such a saving could be made by the appointment of the coroner the men who would save the money should ba willing to pay the cost ot the officer themselves and not throw it upon the city, which la now loaded down with officers. The chairman of the council committee stated to the members of the club that the matter would receive the attention of the council at Its next meeting. WANTED TO GIVE HER A HOME Plea of Man Who Attempted to En tice Little Girl to Kan sas City. C. J. Sbarpllng. charged with assaulting 12-year-old Lena Mungerson, was sen tenced to sixty days In jail by Judge Berka yesterday morning. The little girl testified that Sbarpllng met her on the street and after she had refused to accompany him out ot the city he caught her by tbe hand and tried to force her to consent to go with htm. The girl aald that be held ber hand while walking a dlstanoe of half a block and refused to releaaa her. Sharpllng at the trial stated that h waa an athslst and would not be sworn.

Through Lafrenlere, tbe ship-owners and other merchants presented a remonstrance against. the decree aa in violation of their rights under the treaty of cession. Tbe decree resulted In a heavy loss ot trade and the discontented Increased. Ulloa still temporised, conducting his government through Aubry In ths name of Francs until finally the French home government made a positive refusal to honor the demands which were made on the treasury for ex pen sea. Ulloa then advanced the money himself waiting for his reinforcements and for hia betrothed, the marchioness of Abrado. In expectation ot whose arrival from South Africa, he left New Orleans and spent the winter with his mathematical calculationa "In a miserable shed at ths Ballss" at tb mouth of th Mississippi. Hia absencs from tbe city increased h'a un popularity and when the marchioness ar rived and he had married ber, ahe was even more unpopular with tba female population of New Orleans than h himself was with the male As conditions wer thu reaching their climax, Mllhet, the envoy aent to Paris, re turned with a heart-rending story of hu mlllatlon and failure. , On reaching Paris, be had gone at once to th celebrated Bien ville, whose dream It had been to make of Louisiana a New France, greater than th old.

In an In tervlew with ths prims minister, Bienville "spoke like a father suing for the life of hia child," but the duke answered tersely tbat tbe cession had been made and was Irrevocable. Hs regretted It but eould do nothing. As hs rose to put an end to the Interview, ths aged Bienville threw himself on his knees and "with aa almost-sobbing voice," says Gsyarrs, "prayed for a rs vocation of ths decree against the colony. Deeply moved, ths prims minister raised the old aoldler and patriot from hia kneea and embraced blm. "Gentlemen. " he aald, "I muat put an end to this painful seen. I am deeply grieved at not being able to give you any hope. I have no hesitation la tell ing you that I cannot address the king on this subject because I myself advised the cession ot Louisiana.

SCARRED, CRIPPLED AND VICTORIOUS Two Games Lost and Two Games Stolen Oat of n Total of Fifteen Played on the Trip. Charged with enthusiasm and filled with a determination to continue on the high road that leads to the championship "Papa Bill" Rourke and his victorious team ot baseball players arrived in Omaha at 6:30 yesterday morning from St. Joseph after an absence of more than two weeks. A few hours later there csme in from Peoria a band of Grizzlies who hall from Denver, the family that has every avowed Intention of batting Omaha out of house and home and percentage this week, but bas made a bad start. Though they are largely a bunch of crip ples the Rourke. Rtngera were frantic for chance at the westerners, who have de feated, them ao often on paper alnce th season opened and who have failed signally In their opportunity to make good all that'a been aald about them. With two Infleldcrs and an outfielder so bsUr marred that they belong on the bench or In bed it takes a little nerve for Omaha to go Into today'a game with atout hearts, but that'a Just the way every man feels. Thankfully will Bill Rourke welcome "Loaned" Stone does he appear on the horizon today In time to play, for Frank Qealns la in sore need of a aubstltute. Frank slid into a bag at Kansas City and strained hia throwing shoulder wofully. He haa been playing with It ever since and It baa become Inflamed and ateadlly worse, so that he -cannot throw at all now. It will take a good week's lay-oft to put him back to form 'and that'a what he will get when Stone comes. Rourke wired Billy "Hart yesterday to get him here with out fail today, as tbe case Is growing des perate. Calhoun' Is even worse off,, though It Is his underpinning that is affected. One leg Is cut from hip almost to ankle and bruised black all the way down. - The other Is also very sors and lame, fhird baseman Hlrkey la also answering the sick call with a bad silt seven inches long In one leg. Trip Was a Great One. But the boys have com bom from a great trip and that bears them up. "It was a success in every way," said Rourke. 'We lost two games and had two taken away from us. At St. Joseph they bad Cox buffaloed so bad he couldn't do a thing. Tbat crowd there is fierce. It's runs or rotten eggs for the umpire down ther and brickbats figure also. The Saturday fiasco waa rank and those two 1 to 0 games should both have been about 4 to 0. We got the worst of it all through and never ssld a word until last Saturday. Then It became too bad to stand longer. Duffy started It by hitting a Here hot on near second bag tbat looked as If It were going till night, but by a great play Stewart scooped it up and aent it to first. It got there just as Duffy started to slide. Cox said safe, and our boys never said a word- The next man up waa struck out fair and square, but Cox aald base on balls. Again ws kept quiet. Then came a acratcb two bagger, scoring those two. Then came an other strikeout that Cox said was a base on balls. Still w didn't kick. Then cam another hit, which was fielded toward Oondlng, but about five St. Joseph players had left the bejich and were all over the third-bass line, so Johnny could not get tbs ball. Cox had been waving th Inter lopers back to their benches while waiting for the ball to come In, but they didn't go, and afterward he couidn t remember anything about It. "Despite ths published reports to ths contrary, ths trip was a financial success It was far better than my first trip last yar.

" LIKE SHIP WITHOUT RUDDER So Is the Train of Thought In Dreams, Says Dr. Hippie la Lecture. Before the Philosophical society Sunday afternoon Dr. A. H. Hippie read a paper cn the subject of "Dreams," the most in teresting phase of which pertained to tbat kind of dreams which may be classed as prophetic visions. On thla branch ot hia subject he read as follows: "Occasionally the mind during sleep will sieze upon what would be considered an Impossible cause during our waking hours, but which subsequent events prove to be the real cause. Some of these dreams are very remarkable. Dr. Carpenter in his ex cellent work on mental psychology says tbat upon an occasion the wife of General Sleepman of the British army in India begged her husband to move ber tent, as she had been haunted all the preceding night by tbe eight of dead men. Her hus band moved the tent and, acting upon in formation received later, ordered the ground where it had stood to be dug up, when fourteen corpses of murdersj persons were found burled there. Thla dream would be considered by many aa a super natural revelation, but tbe probable ex planation in reality la simple. No doubt there wss an odor of decomposition in the tent, which' Mrs. Fleepmsn while awake had attributed to some probable cause, it she had noticed It at-all. 'In her sleep, however, the mind became cognisant of thu same odor and the memory was called upon to suggest a cause. Decomposing human bodies happened to be recalled as furnish ing such an odor and tbe Imagination forth with presented them to the mind in all their hldeousness, making an impression which the woman, even after awakening, could not shake off. "Many of our dreams, however, cannot ba traced to any bodily sensation and seem to have their origin tn a sort of automatic ac tion ot the mind. To thla class belong those dreams which seem to be a contradiction of our waking thoughts. Most of our dreams are probably ot tbla character. . Some tunes the train of thought ia taken up and car ried on In a uniform and coherent order. At times. Indeed, owing to the freedom from distraction, the reasoning processes show unusual vigor. The control of the will be ing withdrawn, however, ttcy are not likely to pursue any definite course s.n& seldom reach a logical conclusion. It is aa though the helmsman of an ocean steamer were to leave the wheel and allow the ship to plow ahead without guidance. Under oondltlons of perfect tranquillity of wind and sea, and with an evenly balanced cargo tb vessel might make definite progress, but It would be much more likely to pursue an trracts course. So It la with our minds during sleep. - "Occasionally the mathematician has solved In his dream the prcblem which pus tied him during the day. While reading a marvelous' tale Coleridge fell asleep and dreamed a poem. When be awoke the lines were fresh in hia mind, and he begsn to write. He was interrupted, however, for a time, and when be returned to his writing tbe rest of tbe poem had vanished, ao tbat he was unable to reproduce It, and bs therefore published the fragment known as the Kubla Khan." - .
