kllSM IN DREXEL CASE
Baling f Four Jodgei in FtTor of
Abraham L. Bead.
FIGHT OVER EAST OMAHA PROPERTY
District Coirl Verdict foilrmi that
f Coaaty Court and Caae Will
Sow Be Agala Appealed.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Bartlett, E
telle .and Kedlok of the district court
handed down their decision In the appeaj
of John R. Lrexel, Anthony J. Drexel.
George M. Drexel, Jamet W. Paul, Jr.,
surviving executor! and sole legatee and
devisers of Anthony J. Drexel, deceased,
from the Judgment of the county court
allowing claims against the estate of An
thony J. Drexel of Philadelphia of the
well known banking house of Drexel &
Co. aggregating, with Interest, 1302,000, In
favor of Abraham L. Reed, the trustees
of Mary M. Reed and the Rochester Loan
& Banking company, the last as successor
to the claim of Maria Reed, Johnson.
The decision was In favor of Reed and
affirms the Judgment of the county court.
The trial was on the merits of the case
and consumed four entire days In the hear
ing on depositions the oral evidence of
witnesses and the argument of counsel.
The case will now be appealed to the su
preme court.
Another case Involving the same claims
Is already docketed against Edward T.
Stotesbury of the firm of Drexel & Co.
The case was bitterly contested.
The opening argument was made by At
torney J. W. Wpodrough for the Reed
heirs, who was followed by John I Web
ster for the Rochester Loan & Banking
company. Attorneys Woolworth and Mc
Hugh appeared for Drexel, and the clos
ing arrgument was made by R. 8. Hall
for the claimants.
This case establishes the proposition that
a purchaser of land Is liable for the pur
chase price of same.
The land Involved comprises about sixty
six acres In Omaha, running from a point
Just north of Grace street to Locust street,
and from Tenth to Thirteenth streets, and
Is crossed by both the tracks of the Union
Pacific and those of the Omaha Bridge
& Terminal Railway company, now ope
rated by the Illinois Central. The pur
chase was made by A. J. Drexel and E. T.
Stotesbury of the firm of Drexel & Co.
about January 1, 1803, and the claim arose
out of the purchase money contract. This
Is one of the largest judgments ever
handed down In Douglas county.
Louis will be sold. Th matter has been
under discussion by tha Western rassenger
association at Chicago, and It was believed,
In view of the fact that the fair Is about
over, that some action of this kind would
be taken to stimulate the travel, whuch has
fallen off considerably. Information has
ben received that the ratee had been
turned down.
The Burlington announcea the Christmas
and New Tear's rates this year will be a
fare plus one-third, without limitation as
to distance. In former years thla rate has
been limited to 21) miles. The foregoing
rate applies east of the Missouri. West of
the river the rate will be one fare plus 50
cents, also without limit as to distance.
It Is expected that the rates east and west
of the river will be merged for through
travel.
SUGAR RATE WAR IS ENDED
I. on ar Contest Settled at Last Mo Con
Urination of Rumored Sale of
Great Western.
Trie sugar rate war Is over. It was
learned at Burlington headquarters that all
the old rates from eastern and southern
points to the Missouri river terminals have
been restored. The rate from New Or
leans and other southern points to Kansas
City and Omaha have been Increased to
82 cenis. From New York and Phila
delphia, by water and rail route, the rate
will be 42 cents to Missouri river points.
This Is not quite up to the old rate, but It
Is a long step In the direction of peace and
shows that the long fight Is over.
The water and rail route means the Mal
lory steamship lines have given up the
fight and have taken up the olive branch.
The announcement that a settlement has
been reached on the sugar rate question
will be received with a sigh of relief by
wholesalers. Owing to the bullish condi
tion of the sugar market It may not hav
the effect of quieting all the troubles of the
wholesale buying, but It will go a long way
In this direction.
The scarcity of the raw material and tho
high price of the refined article will keep
the market disturbed until the next crop
of sugar is ready for the refineries. Last
week it looked as If sugar would develop
Into considerable of a luxury, but Imme
diate danger of such a contingency Is some
what removed by the fact that r.nn...
buying raw material In the foreign markets j
.it imvuiK neir oraers tilled at only a
slight advance over the prices prevailing
In this country. As the supply decreases,
however, the price will continue to make
sharp advances, A wholesaler said that
he expected that before the new crop was
ready for the market sugar would reach
war prices.
Although the story of the sale of the
Chicago Great Western Is again revived In
Chicago, nothing can be learned at Union
Racine headquarters as to the reliability
of tha rumors. Such a story was sent out
. from Chicago several weeks ago and was
.based on the fact that considerable stock
vas being bought up In the open market
President fitlckney. who visited Omaha
about the time th story was sent out, de
nied that the sale of Great Western stock
in the open mnrket had anything more than
apeculative interest or significance.

FOOT BALL BY ELKCTRIC LIGHT.
A Nla-ht Game Will Be Palled Off at
the Auditorium on Kelt Toes
day Night.
The success of the foot ball game In
the Auditorium on Thanksgiving day has
encouraged the management and the foot
ball players of Omaha to try a night game
in the Auditorium, and arrangements have
been completed for a game between the
Commercial College team and the sol
diers of Fort Crook. Another wrestling
match will also be put on as an extra
card. Pat Cannon will be pitted against
an unknown, who Is said to be a hummer,
and Pat la likely to meet with a surprise.
Popular prices will prevail, but owing to
the demand for reserved seats at the last
game Manager Gillan has decided to sell
reserved seats at 35 cents. The box office
will be open all day Tuesday at the Auditorium.
INTELLIGENT SELECTION
In the matter of life insurance may be
larpely determined by a Company's record
of growth, which generally reflects the
test of public approval.

Mr. Bally. 1 Elm street, say: When I
bought my baae burner you said It would
heat more room for the same size stove
and the same amount of fuel because It
had a stronger double heater, ana would
start quicker because it had larger flues
and the nickel would last linger because It
wa a heavier coat than any other baa
