The Burlington Has a Large Force at
Work Around the Shops.
A. P. Hedengren, superintendent
of the bridge construction for the
C, B. & Q. Railroad company, ar
rived in the city this morning with
his force of men and machinery and
implements, and will begin work at
once on the new sewer through the
yards here. The work will take
quite a force of men working all
winter to complete the work plan
ned. The sewer is the one the city
has been discussing for some time,
and will be 7x8 feet, extending some
300 feet to connect with the city
sewer, anil will cost the company
something: like 110,000 to con
struct. There has been some aglta
tion concerning an open storm water
sewer extending down Lincoln ave
nue, so as to protect the shops from
floods in future. At the last meeting
"Tjf the city council a communication
from the company asking for the va
cation of .sufficient of the avenue to
allow this ditch room was read and
discussed, and referred to the proper
committee for Investigation.
The granting of this request
would Involve the city In some ex
pense, in that the avenue would have
to be widened and possibly graded
a part of the distance to make room
for the sewer and roadway as well.
It would seem that it would be f
reasonable thing to do, as It is un
doubtedly the duty of the city to pro
tect the property of its taxpayers as
far as possible.
The construction of this sewer
would cost the company something
over $10,000, and every such sum
expanded by. the corporation would
seem to tend toward the, permanency
of the shops. The matter ought to
be settled upon so that the work
could be done before the floods come
. next spring.

The Red Den's Dane.
As usual with the Red Men the
dance laat night was a grand success
Id every particular. The music by
J tour's. Red Men orchestra of Om
aba was delightful, and all present
enjoyed a grand, good time. About
fifty couples were present to partici
pate, and many spectators were
here to witness the enjoyment par
ticipated in by so many who love
the "dizzy whirl." The Red Men are
noted for their splendid danceg, and
always have good attendances from
the fact that they have the best of
music and keep the best of order,
Take it, all in all, it was one of the
most successful and enjoyable affairs
of its character ever given in Platts
mouth, and the Indians deserve great
redit for the very efficient manner
in which the dance was managed.

A letter was received from R. A,
Bates this morning, in which he
states he was operated upon by Dr,
Minor Thursday noon, and was on
the operating table one hour, and
stood the ordeal remarkably well
but that the medicine he was given
made him awful sick for about three
hours. Dr. Minor gives him great
hope of a permanent cure, and, of
course, that gives him great encour
agement. The balance of the family
at the hospital are doing very nicely.
Airs. R. A. Bates will be operated
upon in a few days, and is assured
by Dr. Minor that she will also be
permanently cured. This will be
good news to her relatives and
friends.

Woman Auks New Trial.
Judge Ramsey of Plattsmouth was
iu Glenwood on Tuesday and sub
mltted a motion before Judge Wheel
er for a new trial in the case of the
State vs. Mrs. C. M. Swearlngen.
The matter was taken under advise
ment. The defendant lives in Sid
ney and her trial took place last
week. She is a pioneer resident of
Fremont county and a woman past
70 years of age. She was indicted
by the grand jury for assault to com
mit great bodily injury. The Jury
returned a erdlct of guilty. .
The trial was the outgrowth of a
shooting affair at Sidney on April 12.
Several years ago Mrs. Swearlngen
exchanged her fine residence proper
ty in Sidney with R. S. Williams,
former county auditor, for aonie land
in western Kansas, and It has sines
been her contention that the land
was worthless and that she was
swindled.
Last April when Williams was pre
paring to move to Oktaha, Okla., she
attempted to have an interview with
him regarding the mater. He re
fused to discuss the affair and later
the shooting took place. Both were
armed with revolvers. A shot from
the woman's revolver went wide of
its mark. Williams aimed at the
woman but his pistol missed fire.
Her denfense in the trial was that
the shooting was in self defense.
Judge Ramsey states that in case a
new ' trial is denied it will be taken
to the supreme court. Glenwood

Injured in a Runaway.
Mrs. Dan Rice met with an accident
this morning which gave her an un
usual shaking up and necessitated the
calling of a doctor to relieve her. She
started to go to her daughter's, Mrs.
J. Gochnour's, on the island, and
with her 12-year-old son were driving
along at a rapid pace when something
frightened the horse, which turned
suddenly and threw Mrs. Rice, who is
quite heavy, weighing 235 pounds, to
the ground with considerable force.
The boy held onto the buggy and got
hold of the lines, but could not stop
the frightened horse. And as it was
going through the stumps rather
swiftly and twc of the wheels already
knocked off, the boy finally aban
doned the rig and jumped out. The
horse ran about half a mile and broke
the other two wheels of the buggy
before stopping. Mrs. Rice was
brought home by her son-in-law, and
Dr. Cummins called. The doctor found
no bones broken, but Mrs. Rice was
considerably bruised up. and will be
kept close to her room for some days.

Taft Addresses Mormon Audience in
Tabernacle at Provo.
Salt Lake. Sept. 25. President Taft
added a Mormon tabernacle to the
long list of religious edifices in which
he has made addresses to the people.
Not long ago, in a Jewish tabernacle
at Pittsburg, Mr. Taft declared he .vas
no stranger in the pulpit and enumer
ated bis different experiences in de
nominational churches.
His experience in Utah was entire
ly new. It was at Provo, where 80
per cent of the residents are Mor
mons, and' the home of Senator Reed
Smoot, that the president faced prob
ably the most e'ffervescently enthusi
astic audience of his ten days of trav
eling to the west.
There was nothing in all the pro
gram to suggest the religious charac
ter of the building. The president's
appeal to the patriotism of the peo
pie, his congratulation to them on
their evidences of prosperity and the
fact that they were a community or
the law, abiding by the laws, and de
termined that every community of
which they were a part should be a
lawful community, called forth contln
ulng cheers. Mr. Taft declared he
had' Intended to speak but five min
utes. His reception was so cordial,
nowever, that he spoke for nearly half
Ira hour. ,
From Provo, where he was official
ly welcomed to Utah by Governor
Spry, Senators Smoot and Sutherland
and others, the president came on to
Salt Lake, to remain until tomorrow
Ballinger Snubs Plrvchot.
The arrival of ths presldeut devel
oped an Jncldent la the now famous
BalllDger-Pinchot controversy which
was extremely Interesting to those
who saw it. Secretary Balitnger came
with the president. It was announced
that Chief Forester Pinchot had ar
rived in Salt Lake and would meet
the presidential party there. When
the train stopped, Mr. Pinchot was at
the foot of the rear platform steps of
the Dresident's car with Senator W,
E. Borah of Idaho.
"Why, hello, Pinchot." called the
president, extending a hand heartily
to grasp that of the chief forester,
"How are you 7 I am glad to see
you."
Mr. r'nrhot responded cordially.
. Several other members of his party
followed the president off the car anil
then came Secretary Ballinger. Mr
Pinchot was standing directly beside
Senator Borah.
Mr. Ballinger greeted Senator Borah
with a handshake, but apparently he
recognized no on? else n the vlcln
ity. Neither he nor Mr. Pinchct made
any effort to speak.
President Taft was driven direct
from the railway station at the head
of a procession of automobiles to tli
army post at Fort Douglass, where h
reviewed the Fifteenth infantry, which
Is stationed there. Following the re
