V Broigh't Beu4 Bear Stage

J Apropos the tM.OUMMO bond which
AT THE PLAY HOUSES
tbe
Chicago Oreat Western propose to Issue
In September, Vice President Oppenhelm
said that the director! would shortly inane
a c ircular Mating what wu proposed to do
with the money.
The financial plans of the Chicago Qreat
Western have undergone Important exten
sion within recent months. In April last
the company sold $12,000,000 of Mason City
A Fort Dodge 4 per cent bonds, having
acquired the stock of that company In ex.
change for U, 200,000 Chicago Great West
ern common stock at par. This stock, to
gether with other stock received by a con
struction syndicate, has been marketed In
part and both syndicates have been ex
tended for a year In order to further the
conversion of their assets Into cash. Pres
ident Stickney Is authority for the state
ment that the cost of the Mason City A
Fort Dodge extension greatly exceeded the
amount of the bonds and that Us net earn
ings should shortly "be not less than $2,000
per mile, against charges of 11,200 per mile.
The purpose of the new Issue of li pre
ferred stock has not been officially stated,
but unless the company departs from the
methods by which It has financed Its ex
tensions up to the present time the pro
ceeds will not be used In this manner. The
company's floating debt and equipment
trusts have Increased within a year from
S7.1G1.G00 to S8.4W.0GO, and It is expected
that at least a part of the new stock Ixsue
will be used for the retirement of notes,
some 13,500,000 of which mature In 1906 to
1908.
Recent steps In Great Western financing
are considered to have brought the road
nearer the stage of permanence. The par
ent company Is still comparatively free of
bonded debt, but the subsidiary companies
have issued bonds to cover a large propor
tion of the cost of construction. The parent
'twnpany has, however, 127,577,000 of 4 per
Vnt cumulative debenture stock outstand
, besides 111,871,400 5 per cent series A
Inferred shares, which are practically In
come bonds, being entitled to preference
In dissolution. In February, 1904, the com
pany suspended the payment of interest in

operating expenses and the consequently
H decreased net earnings.

ago that . he would soon undertake this
herculean task. The report says there aro
to be five tunnels, the first et which is
to cost over 126,000,000,
Standing beside his private train in tho
yards at East Reno in November, 1903, E
H. Harrlman, addressing a group of news
paper men In response to the Inquiry,
"What will be your next big Job," asserted
as he pointed his finger westward, Indlcat
Ing the Sierras, "I am going to bore a big
hole through thnse hills."
In this sententious manner the great rail
road king referred for tho first time pub'
llrly to his gigantic scheme of tunneling
through the great divide and abolishing
the forty-one miles of snow sheds that pro-
tect the tracks over the lofty peaks of the
Sierras,
Omaha newspaper men one from The
"Bee were ' in the group. Mr. Harrlman
'added :
' "Yes, It has been my Intention for some
time to do away with those snow sheds
and ' In order to accomplish It It will be
necessary to construct tunnels that will cost
many millions of dollars. Already engineers
have run their lines through the mountains
to get the best course for the tunnels. In
distance we may not save anything w
may lose but In point of time and service
and earnings It will be a great boon. We
shall not hnve to lift our huge trains to
such enormous heights and can run them
a great deal faster than now where they
have to proceed so cautiously over the tops

" l,On this occasion Mr. Harrlman. accom
ited by a large party of prominent rail
officials throughout the country and
mall company of newspaper men, had
been to formally open for service the
Ogden-Lucln cut-off over Salt lake
"Jacob and Kan a" at the Orpheaas.
FTIlls Olirkman. a comedian of estab
lished rpute among his people, supported
by a good acting company, presented the
historic drums, "Jacob and Esau," at the
Orpheum last night to a small but Very
appreciative audlrnee. The words of the
play were entirely In Yiddish, and there
fore only known to those familiar with
that tongue. That the play had a power
ful effect is easy to determine from the
nctlon of the audience, which laughed
with much glee at the comedy of the
star, and followed with straining eyes and
ears the actions and words of Rachel,
Rebeknh, Jncoh, Ieah and I.aban. The
play tells In a dramntlc way the tale that
Is outlined In the Old Testament, detall-
ng how Esau sold his birthright for a
mess of pottage, and strongly contrasting
the characters of the brothers. Esau is a
rough and tumble, good-for-nothing sort
of a fellow, with a ready laugh and a
cheery word, who doesn't seem to take
to heart much the fact that his younger
brother has diddled him out of his rights
s the eldr, while Jacob Is an ascetic,
colorless sort of an Individual, with an
eye for the main chance and a deeply re
llgious cast, who looks on his brother s
conduct as almost criminally sacrilegious,
ven though he Is the chief beneficiary
of Esau's carelessness. Both of these
characters are well drawn by Messrs.
Olickman and Mr. Schnelr. Miss Clara
Rafola, as Rachel, does some very clever
work, and Miss Eva Katx, as Bosmas, a
soubrette role, adds quite a little to the
success of the play.
This evening Mr. Gllckman and his as
soclates will present "Die Ooldene Me.
dlnah" ("The Golden Land"), closing the
engagement.

FORT RII.F.T. Kan.. June 17 I Special.
It now seems to be assured that one more
battery of field artillery will be ordered
here at once, in accordance with the recom
mendation of the chief of artillery. In the
f imposed reorganization of the field anlllery
nto regiments each regiment Is to be com
posed of six batteries Instead of nine, as
originally contemplated. The question still
unsettled is, whether they snail consist ot
three battalions of two butteries each, as
recommended by the field artillery drill reg
ulations board, or of two battalions of three
batteries each, as recommended by Captain
March, who has recently returned from
witnessing the etflclent working of tills plan
In the Japanese army. In order to muke
practical tests of the two plans before the
question Is decided, one battery will be sent
here to be combined with the Ave already
present In a regiment of three battalions of
two batteries each, and another realment
Will be organized at Fort Sill to be of two
battalions of three batteries each. This In
crease, together with the rapid recruiting
of the now depleted ranks of the Thirteenth
cavalry, will bring the strength of this gar
rison up to over 2.0U0 men, making Fort
Riley the largest post in the United States
army.
Twenty-eight recruits arrived at the post
Monday and were assigned to troops of the

WHEREIN OMAHA EXCELS
Why So Many People Come Here to
Get Commercial College
Education.
'Most people have little or no idea why lt
is that Omaha has become such a commer
cial college center," said a business man
esterday. "The reason for the. preference
of Omaha commercial colleges is the con
stant demand in Omaha for people with a
business training. A small city holds out
little'" hope and little salary to even the
best stenographers, bookkeepers or telegra
phers. Omaha today holds out much greater
opportunities than any other city In tho
great middle west. It is the largest city
In Nebraska, as well as be:ng the metropo
Us of the great Missouri River valley.
"It takes regiments of stenographers and
bookkeepers to. carry on business here. In
a suburb of Omaha South Omaha are lo
cated plants of the largest meat packing
concerns In the world Armour & Co., Swift
and Company, Cudahy racking oompany
and the Omaha Packing company. Every
day dozens of extra bookkeepers and new
stenographers are employed by these mam
moth concerns. The Union Paclflo and
Burlington railroads both have their head
quarters in Omaha and their offices together
with those of the six other large pas
senger lines running out of Omaha, have
need for and pay good salaries to an im
menso throng of bookkeepers, stenogra
phers and telegraphers. No less than 400
law offices are located here and nearly
every one of them must have one stenogra
pher or more. The wholesale interests
are rapidly expanding and their demand
for trained bookkeepers, stenographers,
cashiers and shipping clerks ia becoming
t'.ater ciery tfay.
A further advantage of obtaining
business education In Omaha rather than
In a small town lies In the fact that one's
residence tn Omaha during tbe period of at
tending at a college will enable any one to
learn tbe ways of the city and its busi
ness njen, to make valuable friends hips In
church, social and business circles and
enable one to acquire the ability to ap
proach, a business man."

Many a bright and promising career hag
been blighted by injurious habits of felly
before the age of knowledge and under
standing and maxiv have been cut short
by the unfortunate contracting of some
poisonous special disease which, through
neglect or Improper treatment haa coin
pletely undermined and shattered the
physical strength and mental faculties. Na
greater mlatske can be made than to con
sider lightly the first evidence ot the In
troductlon of any private disease Into your
system or to neglect the first symptoms of
weakened mind and approach of nervous
debility, caused by Improper or unnatural
habits, excesses, dissipation, etc
Such Indifference and neglect of the first
svmptoms is responsible for thousands ot .
human wrecaa, in mires in lire ana easi
ness, domestic discord, and unhappy mar
ried life, divorce, Insanity, suicide, etc.
Men! Why take such desperate chants T
The manifestations of the first symptoms
of any diaeaae of weaknese should be a
warning for you to take prompt steps to
safeguard your future life and happiness.
You should carefully avoid all uncertain,
experimental, dangerous or hslf-way treat
ment, for upon the first treatment depends
whether you wlll be promptly restored to
health again, with all taint of tbe poisonous
disease removed from your system, or
whether your disease will be allowed to bo
come chronic and subject you to future re
currences of the disease, with the various
resulting complications, eta.
If we could but see and treat all men
when the first symptoms show themselves
there would soon be little need for so-called
specialists In chronic diseases, and there
would be few men seeking a rejuvsnstlna
of their physical, mental and rexual poweri,
and there would be none markrd with the
Indelible ntsmp or constitutional Bypbllls;
and the sufferers from
Varicocele, Gleet, Stric
ture, Kidney and Bladder
diseases would be reduced to a minimum.
Out as long as MEN continue to disregard
olden adage, "A stitch In time save
nine, and continue to neglect themselves
or to exercise Indifference In securing the
right treatment at the outset. Just so long
will there be multitudes of chronic sufferers,,
