O. I Dlckeson, who was recently ap
pointed vice president of the White Pads &
Yukon railroad, at the age of 34, occupies
the unique position of being the youngest
railroad vies president connected with
American systems. Dickeson's rise, un
usual as it is, is nothing more than a
story of well-directed energy. He was an
ambitious youngster with some Idea of

1S77. He attended publlo school until he
was IS. Then he decided Ottumwa didn't
give hlra quite enough room to stretch, so
be went to Chicago with a few dollars
and much hope. He entered a business
oolleg in the Windy City and managed, by
doing odd jobs In spare time, to exist
until he received a diploma as an amanuen
sis. This diploma was his sole possession
when he plunged Into the big struggle of
the city. There was no money for rainy
flays; action was Imperative. He burled
his nose m the newspapers, smelted out

Two years later he ceased taking dicta
tion and turned dictator, assuming the
position of superintendent of the depart
ment. He was still cramped for room,
and in 1905 became superintendent of the
Burlington's freight and passenger lines
weat of the Missouri river, with headquar
ters at Omaha, Neb.
Dlckeson could not remain long on one
lot. His personality and work had at
tracted the attention of Daniel Wlllard.
now president of the Baltimore dt Ohio
railroad, then vice president In charge of
the operation of the Burlington. Wlllard
brought him back to Chicago and made
htm Inspector of transportation.
Dlckeson worked at Wlllard's side, and
when Wlllard resigned practically assumed
the tatter's work. For the title he cared
nothing. He was absorbing power every
day, becoming known throughout railroad
circles, and finally cams his last appoint

Assessment and Sale Valne.
The Board of Review cited In several
property owners In the neighborhood of
the stock yards fo show cause why their
respective parcels of land should not be
assessed at sums ranging from 12.600 to
33.000, instead of the present valuations of
$700 and $300.
The case hinges on the alleged attempt
of the Union Stock Yards company to pur
chase the land In order to erect their new
1100,000 horse barn. At the time the owners
of the property are said to have demanded
sums that tn the opinion of the would-be
purchasers were exorbitant. It Is claimed
that the lots are assessed and valued at
about 3700 to 3800 and that the advance
of prices was -only an attempt to hold
up the stock yards company. Tha owners,
tn defense, claimed that the land was
worth more than the present valuation
and accordingly the Board of Review will
take them at their word unless they can
put up a very good argument to the con
trary. Among those said to have been cited In
are several Independent packers, including
Steve Vail and Hlgglns Bros. The
expansion of the Union Stock Yards com
pany Is tn the direction of the smaller
competitors of the large packing com
panies. Besides the above mentioned individuals
the Jetter Brewing company Is likewise
said to have experienced a raise In their
assessments from $12,500 on personal prop
erty to $23,000, and from $31,000 on real
estate to $60,000.
Steals Clersrrman's Collar.
John Bkrdls, a disciple of Karl Marx,
appropriated a Roman collar belonging to
Rev. Father Johannls, pastor of the Lithu
anian church, yesterday afternoon. A few
hours later, arrayed In the clerical garb,
Bkrdls essayed a pastoral visit to some of
the packing houses. Despite his distinctive
garb of the clergy the general bearing of
Bkrdls did not produce the desired Impres
sion upon the rough sons of toll. His
preaching, far from inspiring the result ex
pected, roused the ire of Constable George
Collins, who took tha peeudo clergyman In
charge.
Deposited In the penitential retreat pre
sided over by Captain Hank Elsfelder,
Bkrdls was divested of ths clerical garb
and left to meditate upon the essential dif
ference between the words "mine" and
"thine," Karl Marx to the contrary not
withstanding. Shamrock's Day.
This is the day the Shamrock club cele
brates at Hillside park, Ralston, where the
annual picnic of the organisation will be
held. For weeks the club has been Im
mersed In preparations for the gala turn
out. Committees have planned for every
thing that will appeal to the Inner or the
outer man. Good things to eat, good games
to play, dancing on the finest pavilion in
the west, music that would set the blood
of a mummy athrlll these are some of the
Inducements held out to the guests of the
club.
Fair women with the pink cheeks and
the soft-eyed sheen of Erin's merry
hearted daughters will preside at the dif
ferent booths. Between the benedicts and
the unsnared bachelors of the club there
will be a pickup base ball game. Certain
of the more ambitious athletes will take
part In a boat race on the lake. Sutfon'a
band will discourse music national and
otherwise. For the accommodation of the
patrons of the club the RaUton lino will
run cars every fifteen minutes.
Saddle Horse Injared.
George Van Sant, one of tho prominent
cattle speculators of the South Omaha
market. Is looking for the man who stabbed
and mortally wounded a very valuable
saddle horse belonging to him.
The crime was committed some time Fri
day morning, when someone entered the
Qafford feed stables at 429 North Twenty
fifth street and plunged a knife Into the
breast of the animal, narrowly missing the
heart
The Injury to the animal was not noticed
until Saturday when Mr. Van Sant under
took to ride the animal. The bleeding is

Farmer Thorman
Hunts City for Son
Left Behind Billboard
Wisner Man in iDesperate Eight-Hour
Search While Yonth Patiently
Waits for Him.
Leaving his 10-year-old boy behind a
signboard at Fifteenth street and Capitol
avenue while he went to the postofflce at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, N. F.
Thorman, a farmer of Wisner, forgot be
hind what signboard ho had left the young
ster.
After making a canvass of almost every
billboard In the city he came upon the
lad in his rounds at 12:90 o'clock this morn
ing standing unperturbed, like a certain
fabled youth on a certain biasing deck, In
the very same spot he had left htm.
At 10:80 o'clock, after walking five or
six miles on his hunt Thorman, extremely
excited, went to the police station to
ask for help In his search. The entire force
was notified and the officers were kept
busy looking about the vicinities of each
billboard on their respective beats, but
were unable to locate a certain tall weed
which Thorman described as near the
place.
When he finally found the youth, Thor
man took him to the police station and
called off the officers from the hunt.
George, the boy, red-haired and freckled,
took the matter as a huge Joke on his
father. He said he knew the way from
where his parent had hidden him to the
Belmont hotel, where they were staying,
but preferred obeying his parent to doing
such a praiseworthy thing.
"I knew he'd come," , he grinned, dis
playing a much broken row of front teeth.
Thorman explained that he had left the
lad behind the signboard because he wanted
to protect the boy's eyes from the after
noon sun. He had Just taken little George
from St Joseph's hospital, where the boy
had been for two weeks, undergoing treat
ment for his left eye, which a hen had
pecked.

Former Mayor Bemis
Renews His Fealty
Says Infected with Booster Spirit All
His Life and Cannot Get Away
from it Now.
Former Mayor George P. Bemls has writ
ten the following letter to Samson:
"OMAHA. July 29, 1911.-Samson: Reply,
lng to your very urgent Invitation to be
come Inoculated with the Ak-Sar-Ben germ
by becoming a knight of the Omaha
boosters for the promotion of the pros
perity of the city, allow me to say that I
have been Infected with that spirit all my
life, having been born with It In my system.
"To these latter-day boosters It may be
of Interest to know that my cousin, the
late George Francis Train, was the original
Omaha booster and pioneer promoter of the
welfare of Omaha; that In conjunction with
that live wire genius, whom It must be
admitted was without a peer In his day
in promulgating truths and promoting pros
perity, the writer was Instrumental In In
ducing the captains of Industry na-ly
fifty years ago In building the Union Pa
cific railroad across the plains and moun
tains from Omaha to the west.
"This project was, like many others con
ceived by Mr. Train, regarded as vision
ary, but with the true booster spirit and
an indefatigable will and determination
Mr. Train lived to see the first shovel
of earth heaved and the road completed
and operated during his lifetime.
"Modesty prevents me from entering
into the many details of the hlstoy of my
personal efforts and while mayor of
Omaha in bringing to this city the Trans
mlsslsslppl congress and IncldenTTillly the
sowing of the seed from which came
forth the great Transmlssisslppl exposi
tion. "Suffice It to say, however, that al
though the Omaha Commectal club fulled
and refused to aid or assist In securing
the holding of the congress or In provid
ing for Its entertainment, I managed to
Interest public spirited men enough to
make it eminently successful. Then It
was that the Commeclal club leaped Into
the arena and "seizing the bull by the
horns," soared Into public notice com
pletely obscuring roe and smy efforts. A
careful perusal of all the facts as prlrted
In the newspapers of the time will sup
port my contention that I have always
labored for Omaha. I am an optimist not
only as to the future of Omaha, but as to
myself and my fellow men. I believe
that the organization and vital forces of a
city like that of man are capable of Im
provement andvpreservation and that the
life and duration of activity may be ex
tended by strict adherence to the laws of
nature, trade and common sense together
with the abandonment of luxurious ways
of living. I flatter myself that with my
new thought Ideas I may avoid the weak
ness of sensibility and old age and the
decline of the vital forces e.nd live to be
even more than a centenarian. ln con
clusion I take pleasure ln inclosing you a
check for $10 to renew my allegiance to
tho Good King Ak-Sar-Ben XVIII, by be

Water Bond Election
Wednesday, August 2th, 1911. Polls Open To 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. You Can Vote If You
Registered Last Year.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND RESOLUTION
Adopted by the
OMAHA WATER BOARD
TO THE CITIZENS OF OMAHA:
The water board, in the performance of what it believed
to be its duty in protecting the interests of the city, called
the recent water bond election for the purpose of providing
for the taking over of the water plant and making necessary
extensions and improvements hereto. It transpired in that
election that eleven wards of the city carried the bonds by
a very large majority and that the necessary two-thirds vote
would have been secured had it not been for an adverse ma
jority in a locality where, there is great reason to believe,
the votes of non-taxpayers were influenced by some motive
or reason other than that of the city's welfare.
SINCE Tins FACT BECAME KNOWN IT HAS
BEEN INSISTENTLY DEMANDED THAT TirE BONDS
BE IMMEDIATELY RE-SUBMITTED. THE WATER
BOARD IN RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION OF
THIS DEMAND, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF WHAT IT BELIEVED TO BE ITS
DUTY IN PROTECTING THE INTERESTS OF TIffi
CITY, HAS AGAIN CALLED A SPECIAL ELECTION
TO BE HELD BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8 A. AL AND
6 P. M. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2D, 1911, AT WHICH
WTLL BE AGAIN SUBMITTED A PROPOSITION TO
ISSUE $8,250,000 OF WATER WORKS BONDS, PAY
ABLE IN 30 YEARS AND BEARING INTEREST NOT
TO EXCEED 4V2 PER CENT PER ANNUM.
In 1903 the mayor and council elected to purchase the
water plant at a value to be ascertained by three engineers.
This appraisement resulted in a valuation of $6,263,259.49
and the water company immediately brought suit to compel
the city to take the plant at that price. The supreme court
of the United States has ruled that the city is required to
take over the property at this valuation. That question is
settled.
THE WATER PLANT MUST BE PAID FOR, AND
THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE METHOD OF MAKING
PAYMENT OR POSSIBILITY OF SECURING POSSES
SION OF THE PLANT EXCEPT BY THE AUTHORIZA
TION AND SALE OF BONDS. MOREOVER, IF THE
CITY HAD POSSESSION OF THE WATER PLANT, EX
TENSIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PLANT
WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THE AUTHOR
IZATION AND SALE OF BONDS.
If the bonds are voted the water board will take steps
to secure possession of the water plant aa soon as possible,
This city cannot get possession of the
water mains and Improve the water

son company, from Mr. Fredrlckson, who
left several weeks ago for a short vacation
outing In central Wyoming. Mr. Fredrick

into one of the outfitting towns, secure
a complete hunting equipment and now that
the season Is open, go back Into the famous
Jackson Hole country for some big game.
His letter stated that he probably will
not return for some considerable time yet
Mr. Fredrlckson wrote that he has pur
chased a ranch In Wyoming so that In
the future he will have other things to In
terest him In the northwest besides hunt
ing and fishing. Mrs. Fredrlckson is having
as much pleasure out of the trip as her
husband and goes everywhere he does.

and will immediately proceed to carry out plans for the
construction of urgently needed water mains without wait
ing for actual possession of the plant.
SHOULD AUTHORITY TO ISSUE THE BONDS BE
GRANTED NO PORTION OF THE BONDS WILL BE
ISSUED AND DISPOSED OF UNTIL MONEY OR
BONDS ARE ACTUALLY NEEDED TO TAKE OVER
THE WATER PLANT AND TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
AND EXTENSIONS AS REQUIRED. THE INCOME
FROM THE OPERATION OF THE WATER PLANT
WILL BE SET ASIDE TO PAY INTEREST UPON THE
BONDS.
The water bonds heretofore authorized by the city have
not been issued and are not available; those voted in 1900
having been declared illegal, while those voted in 1909 are
unmarketable because of the low rate of interest thev bear.
SOONER OR LATER BONDS MUST BE VOTED
AS A MATTER OF NECESSITY.
A failure to vote bonds at this time will postpone the
day when the city may come into possession of the water
plant; will postpone the time within which improvements
and extensions shall be made; and will postpone the date
of terminating unnecessary loss to the city on account of 7
per cent interest upon this judgement of $6,263,259.49, if
judiciously charged therewith.
Finally, it is deemed but proper to state that:
Tim WATER BOARD IS UNANIMOUS IN THE
BELIEF THAT THE INTERESTS OF OMAHA IMPER
ATIVELY DEMAND THAT THESE BONDS BE VOTED
AT THIS TIME;
THE WATER BOARD IS CONFIDENT OF THE
SUCCESS OF MUNICTPAL OWNERSinP OF THE
WATER PLANT; THAT MUNICIPAL OWENRSHIP
WILL NOT INCREASE CITY TAXES BUT EVENTUAL
LY REDUCE WATER RATES.
FURTHER, THE WATER BOARD STANDS
PLEDGED, PROVIDED THIS BOND PROPOSITION
DOES CARRY, THAT NO PORTION OF ANY WATER
BONDS HERETOFORE AUTHORIZED BY Tlffi CITY
WILL BE ISSUED OR USED BY THE BOARD.
