NEW YORK, Keb. 16. Speculative excite
ment was rampant on the Stock exchange
this morning. The largest trading centered
about the stocks aft acted by the long-time
rumor of a railroad combination across the
continent from ocean to ocean, including
New York Central, Chicago & Northwest
ern and Union Pacific Thoss stocks w"e
all violently affected and spread a sympa
thetic influence into other stocks tn a modi
fled degree. Opening sales ot New York
Central were ot 10.000 share all the way
from 16 to 169.
. Union Pacino was bought at the opening
to the extent of 16.000 shares from 14 to
137. It subsequently touched an eighth
higher before reacting.
. The rla in Northwestern ran to T points
and its subsidiary stocks, Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis a Omaha, to 4 points. .
The opening bulge Involved heavy realis
ing and there were sharp reactions from the
top level. New York Central fell back IV.
Union Pacino to W and Northwestern 6
points. There were heavy dealings in Penn
sylvania, apparently in sympathy with the
New York Central movement. tn opening
seles of 16.000 shares running from HZVi to
14244, with a subsequent rise to 143H- That
stock also subsequently ran off a point.
Iteaetloa Takes Place.
. The whole market yielded during the
course of the first hour and prices In some
easts fell beiowt last night. The opening

1 to I points and upward.
Toe material advances at the opening re
atvee additional Impetus from London,
where the range fpr Americans was gen
erally higher, due no doubt to buying orders
received from New York.
Of the several stocks that opened Penn
sylvania was most generally bought. Brok
ers representing Philadelphia and other out-of-town
houses were, large purchasers of
this stock. Commission houses as a rule
reported increased business from various
out-of-town points.
The buying of Pennsylvania, Union Pa
cino, New York Central and several of the
more active issues waa of such Indiscrimi
nate and general character as to defy
analysis. Naturally the concurrent rise in
New York Central. Pennsylvania and
Northwestern, the latter gaining several
points soon after the opening, gave the rise
to renewed gossip as to deals, mergers and
the like. Of actual news there waa none.
The southern Iron and coke properties,
which were the chief features of strength
a few days ago, were today rather reaction
ary. The late bulge in the leaders was taken
advantage of for very heavy realising !n
the general list and Union Pacino waa un
der constant pressure. The market closed
highly Irregular, but Pennsylvania was
very buoyant, selling as high as 144'.
Union Pacinc closed unchanged from last
night.
The tone of the stock market was fever

realising In the active leaders, but after
the appearance of the favorable bank state
ment the most active stocks shot up agsln
and the market became very ' animated
again. New York Central touched lsovi.

PUB. DOCS. THAT ARE NEEDED
Omaha and Douglas County Have Interest-'
ing Collection on Hand.
OLD RECORDS THAT ARE BADLY MIXED
Papers Relating to Early and Im
portant Transaction ' Stored
with Little Regard to Or-'
der or Accessibility,
No glee that is particularly noticeable Is
manifested by the principal custodians of
public records and documents . in . Omaha
over the legislative' bill which proposes to
make It optional with the custodian
whether or not he shall turn over docu
ments more than twenty years old which
are not needed In the transaction of busi
ness to the State Historical society for
preservation at Lincoln. That is to say,
such books and records as the State
Historical society curators think would be
well to have. This attitude on the part of
the custodians may or may not be due to
the fact that the public records more than
twenty years old, so far as original docu
ments are ' concerned, are not precisely
easy of 'access and nice to handle. In fact
the general condition of these antiquated
papers may be described as Jumbled.
A big vault underneath' the court house
holds an Immense quantity of matter,
relevant and Irrelevant, and altogether Im
possible to, an orderly, methodical man. In
fact it positively gives the clerks In the
courtly clerk's office a headache to think
about this vault. About once every six
months one of them, preferably Frank
Dewey, has to dive Into the hetrogeneous
collection and endeavor to extract certain
faded and discolored papers. Sometimes
Mr. Dewey spends days below the surface
of the broad, free earth. At other time
he reappears In the course of a few hours
from his underground retreat without
hobbles on bis smile and itching for a
wide play where he can do a few can-can
steps expressive of delight.
Dewey Knowe They Are There.
The most heart-rending part of this
performance Is that, no matter how dis
couraging the delving may seem or how
many weeks It may require, Mr. Dewey
feels in his heart that the desired records
are there. If he could only look awhile
and quit with a clearance card for his
conscience, based on the theory that the
records are incomplete and faulty, it
wouldn't be so bad. But there is a popu'ar
tradition at the court house that there Is
nothing above the earth that cannot be
found below the earth, so there you are,
with nothing to do but look for It until
you find it.
At the city ball it Is not quite so bad.
There some one has had a fancy for storing
ancient writings In old soap boxes. There
are the boxes. Any one can see them by
politely asking City Clerk Elbourn for the
privilege. You can observe the decora
tions on the sides of the boxes and the
names of the Arms that made the soap as
long as you please ' But what Is In the
boxes? One might find out by taking a
year off from his regular duties and paw
ing over said . writings, but he must be a
man 6f unlimited patience, not afraid to
soil his hands and courageous enough to
let his nostrils and lungs get stopped up
with dust. No doubt It would be Interest
ing, but a person would be willing to give
odds that the Job would take longer than
a year. There are many soap boxes. ,
Coateats of the Soap Boxes.
"What Is there In the soap boxes that
would appeal to the State Historical so
ciety T"
"That is something that no one knows,"
responds a person who knnws pretty much
all that Is necessary to know about city
records that are of any Immediate and
mercenary use to man. "Doubtless many
documents in those boxes would be valua
ble In the society's archives. There are
funny proclamations saying that Mormons
will no longer be allowed to camp at
Omaha, because pestilence of some kind
always follows them; Interesting resolu
tions and motions concerning means ot
protection against bands of marauding In
dians; edict from the mayors ordering all
dogs to be muzzled or shot, for the mnd
dog scare worried the early mayors a lot.
The resignation of George Armstrong as
mayor of Omaha, sp he might enlist In
the union army, would probably be inter
esting. Various proclamations regarding
the calling of volunteers; the reception of
returned warriors; measures taken to pro
tect the community against lawlessness;
what the city government did to welcome
Oeneral Orant when he stopped here on his
trip around the world; the ordlnaces and
resolutions regarding the Union Pacinc
bridge, the Union Pacific ant other rail
roads and the bonds voted for them. All
no. doubt and many others of a slmlllnr
Import would appeal to the historian. If
ha liked humor a certain famous order
forbidding the Mother Hubbard wrapper
from the streets of the city might tickle
his fancy, .
.Not Needed, by City.
"Theae original documents, or many of
them, are not needed in this office. All
that are Important are transcribed In the
Journal records of the city council, to which
we refer whenever called upon to give out
Information of the kind. Nowadays the
original documents are carefully preserved
and Indexed, but the records twenty years
back and before are hopelessly Jumbled
together. It would be an Immense task
to sort them -out and .properly classify
tem.' If a representative of the Historical
society would undertake the work and And
anything In the boxes that was desired, It
would not inconvenience the office or the
public In the least to let them go."
On the top floor of the city hall may be
found Secretary Burgess of the Board of
Education. . ,
"What old records have you ths'c the
State Historical society would Want?" was
asked.
"You've certainly got me," responds Mr.
Burgees. "There's a lurge vault buck
there full of old documents. Maybe some
of them might be Interesting. I don't
know. It would be a - del thing if the
State Historical society o'.- some other so
ciety would take them awuy. We have
all the records we want In our Journals
and other well bound books. Take a look
through the vault, if you want to, and If
you don't get through this afternoon come
In again tomorrow."
The Invitation was respectfully declined.
Cobwebs are good enough,' perhaps, to
stop bleeding, hut hnrdly any one likes to
wallow In them unless he has to.
Trouble with the County. '
"Sure, there's lot of stuff down there
that would be good for tho Historical so
ciety," says Frunk Dewey at the court
house. "But it wouldn't be right to let
any of It go. Kvcry once In a while some
one comes along with a request for a. cer
tified copy of un origlnlal document that
originated way buck, and we have to dig
until we con rind It. Here, when the street
railway merger wua made, the attorneys
were worried half to death because they
couldn't find the old franchise for Dundee.
It took three days to get this precious
paper, for they said it whs absolutely
necessary. Not long ago I had to dig up
the bond for a saloon licensed about twenty
years ago. The bond was wanted to prove
a signature. None of this stuff ought to
go to Lincoln. It should, however, be
properly Indexed and classified. Doubtless
much of It could be thrown away. Perhaps
some early Incorporation papers, documents
relating to railway and other bond issues,
franchises and election returns, might be
taken away, but the matter would have to
be handled with rare."
Records that Are Needed.
Early maps, tracings and blue prints In
the engineering departments are all needed
there and are conslantly referred to by
abstracters and others. In the county
Judge's office the clerks don't think it
would be right to allow wills and docu
ments of that kind taken away. In nil
branches of the government the records
of every neetlng of official bodies, from
the first to the last, are absolutely Indis
pensable to the proper transaction' of busi
ness. These are well kept und preserved
and easy of access. But the detached
documents of the early years are not In
shape to be examined lightly. Again, the
early clerks of the Board of County Com
missioners had a hublt of simply alluding
to valuable documents embodying official
transactions and falling to copy them is
the record, making the latter worthless)
without the other writing. This mokes It
particularly hard to separate county docu
ments that could safely bo placed in the
Historical society's archives.
