amounting to about $ 'J20 , was for "ex
tras" connected with putting In the
new heating plant nt the high school
building. A certain misunderstanding.
It appeared , bad arisen over a correc
tion made in Architect l itenser' ?
original plans. In order to do good
work , the plumbing firm showed that
they bad to do considerable work
other than what their contract called
for.
for.A.
A. Morrison , construction foreman of
the building , stated very definitely that
the alterations upon which the addi
tional charges were based , had not
been ordered by him but had been
made by the plumbers in order to con

tain brick work done resulted In the
mason , 12. L. Loucks , being sent for.

PUTS "DEED" ABOVE "CREED. "
Rev. Frank Gunsaulus of Chicago De
fends Taft's Religion.
Chicago , Nov. 4. "I am not speak-
ng of the past nor pleading for the
present , but I would like to strike this
thing so hard that it may have no
uture. Its past has been so foul with
treachery , so slithering with the spill
ed blood of Innocence. "
So said Rev. Frank Gunsaulus ,
president of the Armour institute and
: mstor of the Central church , speak-
ng of the attempt to make political
capital out of Mr. Taft's religion. Ho
did more than condemn the bigotry of
the attempt and its evil possibilities I
for the future of the nation , but he
also , defended In no uncertain torrns '
the essential tenets of the religion of '
the presidential candidate.
"My desk for weeks , " he said , "has
been littered with requests that I
preach against Mr. Taft because ho is
a Unitarian. My brother ministers ,
the country over , have boon similarly
bombarded. There are 200,000 moil
whoso votes will be Influenced by this
matter.
"In reply to these requests I say :
Look at Holland , Its history so bloody J.
that no man can read It without tears ,
because more was thought of 'creed' of
than of 'deed. '
"Mr. Taft , assailed because of his
religious beliefs , is a man of extraor
dinary ability and brains. But ho is :
not considered orthodox. Neither was
Paul orthodox. Ho was considered the
heretic of his age.

Report That Road Is Planning Line
Out from Omaha.
Omaha Hee : The Milwaukee rail
road Is planning a new line from
Omaha to join with Its Pacific north
west extension , which Is now being
built. When the Milwaukee exten
sion IM completed that road will have
one of the strong transcontinental
lines across the continent , but Omaha
Is not on the direct line from the coast
to Chicago and will not derive the
benefit it should. Sioux City and Min
neapolis and St. Paid are now so situ
ated that they will be better able to
sell to the new territory , and also to
be the market places fur the piodncts
of that portion of the country.
The only way at present tor the live
stock and grain trom the vast terri
tory tapped by the Milwaukee to
reach Omaha would be to haul it back
from Manilla , la. , which would be al
most pioblbitive. To place Omaha ,
the market town , on the main line of
the Milwaukee from the coast to Chicago
cage is now the plan of the officials of
that road.
Just where the line will be built
from Omaha is not announced , but it
Is thought it will run in a northwesterly
orly direction to meet the Mllwauk'-e
in South Dakota.
The Milwaukee line between Omaha
and Chicago Is one of the grenr freight
carrying lines of tlio country ami : he
plan to make that line the east outlet
of the Pacific coast extension Is most
feasible. The Milwaukee is not only
planning on getting Its share of Cu
ff-eight fioin the Orient , but it , IM !
traverses a rich territory which \\ill
yearly yield thousands of cars of grain
and cattle. Omaha is the established
market town for these product H , and
It is the most natural thing In the
world for the Milwaukee to want to
be able to place the products of the
farms and ranches of its new countly
Into the leading market town in the
west. -
That a line through Omaha from
the northwest Would be a line ( it
heavy traffic is shown by the Burling
ton's northwest line to Billings , wln-ie
it unites with the Northern Pacific. At
Billings the Burlington take * what
freight the Northern Pacific v-anls to
divert in this direction , rather than to
send via St. Paul , and still the Bur
lington last tall bad more business
than H could handle. In fact , tin.mini -
ness of the Burlington line to the
northwest is so heavy that It is now
building a second line to bo aule to
handle the enormous business whi''h
works its way from the Pacific imrtu-
west to the Missouri valley.
It is but natural , then , that the Mil
waukee , which will have a line of it'-
own from the coast , will want a Jine
into the Missouri valley to handle the
lumber and grain and live stock and
minerals which will come this way.
The Milwaukee extension i's bolus ;
rapidly pushed to the coast anJ did
not let up during the hard times which
stopped most railroad building The
directors and builders of the new line
had provided ample funds for the now
line before the financial troubles ol
last fall , so that the work co-iMnuol
uninterrupted all last winter anJ 'his
summer. The Milwaukee road ! . * paid
to have plenty of money back o ! It , so
that If the directors should decide to
build the now line to Sioux City , or
even to South Dakota , it is not though :
they would experience any ditUculty
In raising the funds.
