6 THE OMAHA DAILY DEE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1904. MILWAUKEE TO THE COAST : Will Either Build Own Lin or Combii with Unisa Pacifio. I SETTLED CONVICTION OF RAILROAD MEN ' Sarvers IVrlasr Made mm 4 larreaslas; reteaey at Rockefeller la fnlon Paelfte Prat aa A. earat Prediction. Movements of the Chicago, Milwaukee ' fit. Paul mil way have revived the lurking suspicion that that rood la quietly pushing I Ita plana for a through line to the Pacific ' CCMUt. For some yrm.ru this project has been discussed by railroad men and not without evidences, but now the belief la more gen erally entertained than ever that the Mil waukee will either extend Ita own line to the coaat or will enter Into a permanent ccmpoct wrth the Vrtlon Pacific whereby It will obtain the same results aa If It built, compensating the Union Pacific with an eastern outlet. A combination of significant clrcum , stances of late has forced thla matter upon the attention of railroad men, and II la Interesting that now as ever the over whelming conaenaua of opinion Is that the : Milwaukee Is determined to reach the const. Wednesday a large rancher, whose estate lies Immediately south of Yellowstone park, was In Omaha, and talking wltk local rail road men he said: "The Milwaukee has engineers at work surveying in my section. They have run their surveys through' my ranch, which Is situated directly south of Yellowstone In the northwestern part of Wyoming and nl moat due west of Chamberlain, 8. D. The general understanding out our way Is that this Is a part of the survey Intended for a coast line." 8rveys Also at Pierre. This man's postoffloa Is at "1st. Anthony, Idaho, which Is the terminus of a short . spur track of the Oregon Bhort Line, leav ing that line at Idaho Falls and extending directly northeast. This man say the sur veys are being run from west to east. The significance .of this Is apparent when con sidered In collection with the statement of a prominent cltlcen of Pierre, 8. D., now In the city. "Milwaukee surveys are being made In our vicinity," says this man. 'The en ' glnears have been working all through that section for some time, but more actively , since election, when It was determined that : Pierre and not Mitchell shall be South Da- kota's permanent capital. "Some time ago President Earllng was at Pierre and In reference to the proposed change In location of the state capital he : said: 'If the capital does not come to us, then we will go to It; we will extend out line from Chamberlain up the river to Pierre anl then wj shall again consider the matter of building weat.' " The Milwaukee runs through Mitchell, but Pierre Is left alone on the banks of the Missouri about midway between the Mil waukee's termini, one at Chamberlain and tho other to the north at Evarts. The sup ' position is that if built from Chamberlain to Pierre the line will be extended north tc connect with Evarts and then go on west or run west from either Pierre or Cham berlain. The present surveys In the vlclnl , ties , of Pierre and out In Wyoming below . the park then are regarded as substantia . evidence of the Milwaukee's plans of build ing 'to the coaat. Rockefeller's subtle liana. But some local railroad men believe , It possible the Milwaukee may not carry out Its plans of constructing a new road to the , Pacific, but may find greater profit In form ing a combination with the Union Pacific, making the - two one road, vivifying that i long-cheiiahed dream of an eastern outlet , to the Union Pacific. . . The Milwaukee, as la generally known in railroad circles, Is a Rockefeller road, and It is likewise .generally., known that John . D. Rockefeller has been Increasing rather than decreasing his power and holdings in Union Pacific. In this connection a local railroad man calls attention to the ease and facility with which two years ago the Milwaukee secured a contract for through service to the coast over the Union Pa cific, placing it on a parity with the North - western, which for years had enjoyed ex clusive privileges In this particular. That, he asserts, clearly demonstrates the ln . creasing potency of Mr: Rockefeller as a factor In the affaire of the Union Pacific. Just recently, a matter of some days ago. '491,000 shares of Union Pacific changed hands. v. '; . "To whom or what power were they transfcrredT" is the question railroad men re asking each other. The reports which told of the transfer stopped short of an swering this query and no source since Las STARVED TO DEATH Our text today la the story of the miser who taught his ass to live on straw, of which he gave him a smaller portion every day. Just as the miser had got him so trained as to eat one straw a day the poor ass died. He la an ass who starves himself to death as thousands are doing, misled by foolish teachers because their stomachs have be come too weak, through neglect or disease, to do the work which nature hus provided for their stomachs to do. Because the engine, la out of gear, would you consign it to the Junk heap? Why. no! Mend It! Commit slow suicide because your di gestive organs leak? Certainly not! . Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One thing Is sure as shooting.' .You can never get a new stomach. You must mend It, or It will leud you a miserable existence. The only way to mend it is to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This has been practically and scientific, ally demonstrated by the muny thousand! whom Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet ha.v positively cured, after every other treat ment of medicine, mineral waters, pills, and slow, suicidal starvation had foiled. These methods are all -unscientific there fore false. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scientific therefore true and successful. Having cured so many thousands many of whom doubtless have suffered more than you do do we claim too much when we say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good to you? Surely not. Especially when we make It plain that no promise Is made to cure more than on disease Dyspepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cur for just this one disease. ' . , They ar a scientific combination of In gredient which search out the weak spots in all the digestive orguns and make thera Strong and well. They have an Immediate digestive action on undigested food, and thus, while curing weak, organ, they at the same time help them to do their work. - They thus stand fur all that Is good in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia, and for nothing that bud- They are not a fad. but a fact. They are safe, pleasant, certain and per ' manent. and can be taken by the most de, teste iaiM without fear of harmful easuU, revealed the Information, feat railroad men are confidently of the Opinion the stock went to John D. Rockefeller. No railroad man In Omaha pretends to say which the Milwaukee will do, build Its own line to tile Pacific coast or consolidate with the Union Pacific, but It Is generally admitted that, sooner or later, one of three two contlnrencVs will come about. - t Parlfle Tlm Changes.

FAILS, HOWEVER, TO GET HIS PREY Temporarily Abandons earck for Alleged Forger of Express Cam. nany Cheeks Whom He Has Chased for Two Tears. Charles H. Evarts, a Wells-Fargo de tective, ha ended in this city a remarkable chssn of nearly two year for thieves. showing the determination with which ex presss companies pursue rases of this kind. Mr. Erarts arrived In Omaha Wednesday and I now on hi way to Fort Dodge. While, he ha given up the man hunt tern po rarity, he has not abandoned It entirely, The scene of action begins at Oalesburg, III. Something less than two years ago two strangers, giving the name of Ander son and Gorman, appeared at the com pany'e office there and presented two money orders. - The combined value of the drafts wa nearly The men were attired la the uniform of the United States Infantry and alleged they had recently been fll charged from the service at Manila, ' At San Francisco they had their cash put Into money orders payable to themselves when they arrived at their point of destination Thl Is the story they told. The agent told the men he had not that amount of money In the office, but to come around later In the dar. He believed If the men were not entitled to the draft they would grow suspicious and not return, for the money. They came back In the afternoon, however, and upon showing their receipts for the orders the money was paid They even returned the following day and ga'e the agent cigars to show their ap preciation of his courteous treatment. Subsequently It was discovered the money order were forgeries and It also was learned the men had been operating In San Francisco, where they robbed soldiers com ing over from the Philippine. When the police made It too warm for them they disappeared, and It Is believed they went almost directly to Galeshurg, where one of the men had relatives. Detectives were put on the track of Anderson and Gorman, and Evarts was one of the men who worked on the case. He found the relative of Gor man to he a merchant In good standing at Oalesburg and learned that the latter had recently received a letter from the alleged forger. Evarts got the letter and went to work. Gets Cine mi Last. Weeks passed before Evarts again ob tained a good clue, although he had run down many tips which proved worthless. A year ago he dropped Into a saloon In Chicago In a quarter of the city where he hoped to be able to get track of the men wnne standing at the bar a postmnn nanaea tne barkeeper a letter, which he placed on tho shelf back of him. It was addressed to- Gorman. Evarts learned where the men were living and with the aid of the Chicago police surrounded the nouse, but again the men got wind of the affair and escaped. Subsequently Anderson was annrehenrterf for another crime and sent to prison for a term of years. This made Evarts' work- somewhat easier, as he had but one man to track. Gorman, however, led him merry dance. He wa traced to Omaha to Denver, to Portland, to San Francisco, to St. Louis and to Buffalo. Gorman n. followed to several other eltle and wa again overtaken In a cheap hotel in Mem. phis. Tern. Remembering his Thinners . perlence, Evarts this time-work Its cornered the man In the office of the hotel, which happened to be on the ma floor. When Informed he was wanted he reached for a gun. Evarts was tHn quicker, pulled his pistol and fired, but as he did so his prisoner,, who had been struck In the right arm, made a leap through the win low and disappeared. No trace of the man could h .i It was some time before Evarts track of his man. He ha followed him from city to city, but Wednesday he arrived In Omaha, for the time having given up hope -I ,u ma man. Kvarts. who stopped at the Millard, says he will not rfv search until he lunds Gorman In Jail. Mother Kidnaps Child. SEWARD, Neb..
