The quoitlon of turning over the 1150,000
Viaduct bonds to the Union depot company , In
view of the recent action of the Union Pn-
clflo railroad company hi freezing out the
Chicago , MHwnuHco & St. Paul and the Chicago
cage , Uock Island & Pacific , which desired
to cross the hrldgo into thU city , wiw the
subjcctof much discussion among u number
of the city ofllcials ycsterdiiymornlnu.
Vhcn Bollcllod for his vloivs regarding the
Huatlon , ruid 03 to what ho would do with
thd bond- , Mayor Gushing snld that there
Vould ho no star-chnwhcr session when tlio
bonds were turned over. The city comptroller
'nnd city attorney would both bo on hand , and
nome of the aldermen would also bo present
nj wltncws. If. the railroad company man-
nged to gut hold of the bonds In sonic other
way It would ho Illegal , nnd ho thought that It
would lay the railroad ofllcluls criminally Ha-
bio.
bio.Tho
The bonds were not to go to tHe Union Pa-
'cllloorto the Union dopotcorapany direct ,
out were to bo turned over \o \ Kountro
brothers as trustees , by whom thcv were to
bo held for a certain period. Ho did not bo-
llovo th.it the attempt of the Union 1'nclHo
to abrogate and annul their agreements with
the Hocle Island ana Milwaukee companies
would have any bearing on the delivery of
the vluduct bonds , ns the contract with the
city Is that the Union Pacific shall allow the
other roads to enter the union depot , nnd the
regulations bearing on the use of the brldgo
nnd 1U approaches nro with rofcrcnco to the
usooftho union depot , which will not bo
completed for another year.
City Attorney Poppleton was of the snmo
opinion as to the irrelevancy of the recent
notion of the Union i'uclllc as far as turning
over thu bonds was concerned. Ho said that
the union depot company had no cltilm on the
bonds at the present time , but they were to
bo delivered to Kount/o brothers as trustees ,
nnd this delivery was not to talto place until
the depot company had turned over their
bonds of $300,000 to the city Insuring the
completion of the plans ns specified , and the
bond of the Union Pacific to allow ull roads
equal rights over the bridge after the com
pletion of the depot hnd also been lllcil.
An examination of the depot grounds nnd
the work on the now structure must bo mndo
to determine whether or not the work already
done annnnts to $150,000 , which the contract
spcclllos must bo the case before the bonds
nro turned over lo the trustee * .
The bondi ever which so much anxiety Is
felt are now In the hands of the state nuultot
nt Lincoln , where they weto taken for the
tmrposoof being recorded about ten days
ngo. City Comptroller Goodrich took the
bonds to Lincoln for thnf. purpose , but the
nudltor was not to bo found , nnd as the
comptroller would not leave the bonds with'
out Bocurlng the auditor's receipt for thorn ,
bo was compelled to bring them homo will
him.
Shortly after his roturti ho was waited
upon by Mr. T. L. Klmball , third vlco
president of tbo Union Pacific , who stated
that ho was anxious to have the bonds re
corded and agreed to tuko them to Lincoln
for that purpose. He later sent his private
secretary for thorn nnd they were dellveroc
to him , the comptroller receiving the score
' tary's receipt.
In view of recent developments , this action
on the part of the comptroller is what i-
causing him to fcol very uneasy. The bond ;
were sent to Lincoln and delivered to the au
elite r by Mr. Kimball's secretary. The que-s
tlon now causing agitation is "To whom wll
the auditor deliver the bonds -when rocordci
to thu comptroller or to the man from wlion
ho received themi"
Comptroller Goodrich has telegraphed thi
auditor to hold the oonds until ho can gel
them , and under no clruumstiinccs to tun
thorn over to anyone clso. Ho reall/es thatli
the bonds ot into the hands of the railroai
company through his mistake it places him it
n very unpleasant situation.
Officials nt Union Pacific headquarter :
telephoned the city comptroller yostordnj
to ascertain the assessed valuation of the
city and the amount of the city's bonded In
debtcdnoas. The desired Information viv
pn. The anxiety of therullroad compatij
ho matter is attributed to the 1'uct that i
'city's ' bonded indebtedness would there
by o ct-od the constitutional limit of 10 pci
cent of the assessed valuation the bonds cai
not bo recorded. Regarding this phase o
the question the mayor said that he hadsomi
doubts about the viiltio of the bonds , as hi
was not sure that they would notlncreasotni
bonded Indebtedness of the city beyond thi
limit. Whatever may t > o the action of th <
nudltor withroforonco to recording the bonds
the comptroller will not rest easy unti
they are again in his possession to bo turnci
ever by him to the mayor , which will reliovi
him of all responsibility.
The history of these bonds nnd the ordl
nances passed by the council bearing upoi
them , clthor directly or indirectly , are as fol
lows :
On August 10 , 1889 , an ordinance wa
nassoil declaring the necessity of construct
Ing a viaduct on Tenth street ever the Unloi
-Pacltlo nnd B. & M. tracks , and ordering th
city engineer to make surveys and furnlsl
plans und specifications.
Another onllimncowas passed October 8C
18S9 , ordering nn election held for the pur
pose of voting upon tbo proposition to issu
coupon bonds to the amount of $150,000.
On the liSth of the following month th
election was held nnd the bonds were voted
At u council meeting hold January - - , l&K
the plans nnd specifications of thn city cngl
iiccr were approved and the mayor was in
structcd to appoint tlirea fieehnldcrs to af
pnuso the damages to condemned property.
On March SO , 1890 , the last ordinance wa
passed , requiring the railroad companies t
eulld n viaduct the length of which was note
to exceed 800 foot , and work to bo commence
V within thirty days.
The viaduct is now practically completed
Bud next in order will bo an ordinance nc
coptlng the structure. The superlntcudon
f construction announced thut the vlnduc
* WouIUbOr > cucd to the public on Wednesda
er Thursday of this week , but whether rt
cent complications will tend to delay thi
event it a matter of conjecture.
The action of the Union Pacific In rofusln
to carry out its contract obligations , is th
talk of the town.
Tfio Uock Island's now lines through soutl
crn Nebraska and Northern Kansas ni
almost parallel with tlio Missouri Pnclllc , nu
the arraugemnta agreed upon would take th
Rock Island direct to Colorado Springswhll ,
the Missouri Pacific readies Pueblo , enl
forty miles below there. To Gould's objei
tlon to having the territory of the Mlssoui
Paclllo encroached ujwn Is thoroforn a
trlbuted the attempt of the Union Pacifli
under its Gould management , to head off tli
now line of the Hock Island at the MHsou :
river.
If this done , the opinion Is that the noi
line of the Hook Island just completed b <
tweon this city nnd Lincoln will becom
practically worthless for at least a year , ui
ill the union depot is completed and occuploi
Under the terms of the agreement bctwce
the Hock Island and the old Union Puctil
management , the former comnnn
was to use the lattor's trac
to South Omaha and botwec
Lincoln nnd Beatrice ns well as u shoi
stretch Into Denver , whllo the Union Pncll !
was to have the we of the Hock Island's n < v
line from South Omaha , to Lincoln. Tl ;
abrogation of these agreements vlrtuall
loavco the Hock Island lit the same condltlc
"It wus before , with the addition of ever lift
miles of isolated track.
In the event that the Uock Island resorl
to the courts to compel the Union Pacillo 1
fullllliu contract a legal content of pcrlun
two years duration would result. A r

brldgo would pluco the Hock Island unitor U

LINCOLN , Neb. , Doc. 30. [ Special Tele

says that the depot and viaduct bonds were
sent to the state auditor's ofllco for registra
tion two weeks ngo. Today thny will bo rug-
'stored ' nnrj tomorrow Auditor Denton will go
Omaha and , accompanied by Mayor Gush-
ng nnd other ofllcIaU , will deliver the bonds
.o Thorn as L. Kimball , third vlco president

Auditor Ucnton declares that there Is no
Toworon earth that can dclcr the delivery of
ho bonds ; Unit the stipulation between the
'Ity ' and the Union Pacifli refers only to tbo
1 0 of the union depot , and does not In any
, vny affect the use of the brldgo over the
Missouri.
The suggestions mndo In Tun Bun this

H Is too late.
Mr. Benton says ho met Mr. Nash of the
Illwaukco road yesterday , in Omaha , In ro-
giiru to the shutting out of the road ropro-
-icntcd by him.
"Tho gentlemen representing the road *
ihu tout tried to get mo to protect their In

SIMPLIFYING THIS SYSTEM.
S. II. II. Clnrk llt-Bins III * Work of
Lopping On ? Heads.
The first stop toward the centralization of
authority in the Union Pacific management
, vas made yesterday in the appointment
by General Manager Clark of E. L. Lomax
as general passenger and ticket agent of the
cntiro Union Pacific system.
Mr. Lom.ix has had the title of general pas
senger agent for n number of years , uut ,
under the Adams administration , really had
Jurisdiction only ever the Missouri river di
vision of the road , each of the other grand di
visions of the system oclng supplied with a
separate general passenger agent.
The extension of Mr. Lomux's authority
docs away with the position and title of gen
eral passenger agent of the various divisions
of the nystoms. The men who have held the
the positions affected are : T. W. Leo , gen
eral p.isscnger agent Pacific di
vision , Portland ; Gcorgft Ady , gen
eral passenger agent Colorado and
TTort Worth divisions , Denver ; F. L. Lynd.
general passenger agent of St. Joe & Grand
Island division , St. Joseph , with division and
assistant general agents at Ogdcn , Salt Lake ,
Fort Worth , Kansas City , Pocatello and
other division points.
It is not announced as to what other
changes will follow Mr. Lomax's promotion
but it will result in the ttrst instance In very
materially reducing the number of titled nnd
high-salaried ofllcials in the passenger de
partment. Some of the present general pas-
sonccr agents will probably bo retained as
division passenger men.
TflE KUEKZK OUT.
Unilroml Magnate * ) Coining to Omaha
to Talk About It.
General Agent Nash of the Milwaukee road
made no effort yesterday morning to cross
from thoBIulTs with his train,1feeling satisfied
that ho had alreadysufllcicntly emphasized his
position as regards the illegality of the freeze-
out by the Union Pacific.
President Cable of the Rock Island road was
expected in the city yesterday to take steps
to enable his company to make some use of
the road which it has built from this city
westward. It is understood that his
company and the Milwaukee have engaged
Messrs. Poppleton nnd Woolworth of tills
cltv to contest in the courts the abrogating
of the contract regarding the crossing of
these roads Into this city.
A well known railroad man said yesterday :
"You may not have heard of it , but it is a
fact nevertheless , thnt last summer the Mil
waukee nnd Hock Island entered Into nn
agreement with the Nebraska Central for the
usu of the bridge of the latter and
Its terminal facilities in this city
They also contracted with the Missouri Pa
clllc for the use of its line to South Omaha.
That contract was signed by S. II. H. Clark ,
and was forwarded to Joy Gould. But ho re
fused to sign it. The wizard saw what ho
wanted six months in advance. This proves
conclusively that Gould has a flnger In this
contract breaking. "
"Tho Uock Island allows the Union Paclfio
the right of its track to Lincoln ; why should
the Union Pnclflo oppose the entry of the
Hocklshuidl"
"Jay Gould does not want any other ro.id
to enter the territory of the Missouri Pnclllo
ns the Union Pacific would do by means
of the Hock Island oxtontion. "
"But Gould has control of the Union Pa-
clflo as well as the Missouri Paclllc , and the
advancement of the Interest of the Union Pa
clllo would innuro to his bcncllt. Why
would ho restrain It from entering Missouri
Pucillo territory i"
"Because , I think his interest In the Mis
souri Pacilio Is greater than tttat In the Union
Pacific. " .

THE CASE SET FOR HEARING ON JAN , 2 ,
Ernest Stulit ( Jrnuteel nn Order Tent *
pornrllr Hcstr.UiiliiK the De
livery of the Depot and
Viaduct Hontls.
General Solicitor Fish of the Milwaukee
road arrived In the city yesterday afternoon ,
iiul , ai a result , at S o'clock lost nlglib In
unction proceedings were commenced
utrolnst the Union 1'iiclflo company. The
> ctltlon filed In the onlco of tbo clerk of the
district court sets fortti the ( act that on April
30 , 3890 , at the request of the ofllclols of the
Jnlon Pacific road , the Mllwaukoo entered
nto a 999 year contract , on which $3,731) ) was
o bo paid annually for the privilege of using
ho Union Pacific track between Council
Huffs and Omaha , and for the privilege of
running lute and using the now Tenth street
depot ,
As Is well known , on Deccmoer 27 , the
Union Pacific locked its switches and pre
vented the Milwaukee from carrying out Its
iart of the contract. Upon innldnpthls show-
ng Judge Donne last night granted a tempo
rary Injunction , and set the hearing for Jnnu-
iry 2 at 10 o'clock n. m. In the meantime the
Jnlon Pacific people nro enjoined from Inter
fering with the running of Milwaukee trains.
General Agent Nash , In speaking upon the
subject last nlfcht , said :
This was our last resort. Wo triad to cct
along without , trouble , hut were blocked
at every turn. Wo considered the
natter before wo applied for the
njunctlon , and fully understood what wo
ivoro going Into. To-day wo shall run our
DhlcdKO trains into the depot , and shall con-
.Inuotoeloso until ordered by the court to
discontinue them. "
Superintendent Goodnow , who arrived
From Chicago lust night , said :
"All the Milwaukee wants In the matter Is
fairness.fo made our agreement In good
Faith , and then bought $100,000 worth of
Omaha and South Omaha property , which
wo would bo prevented from using to any
purpose should the Union Pacific carry out
the policy that It has adopted. "
TIIK VIADUCT 110NDS.
Ernest Stulit Secures an Order Preventing -
venting Their Delivery.
It now looks as though some of the citi
zens were about to take a hand in the railroad
fight.
Lntolast night Ernest Stunt commenced
suit against the city of Omaha , Hlchard U.
Gushing as mayor.Charlcs Goodrich as comp
troller , Thomas II. Bcnton as auditor of pub
lic accounts of the state , Alvin Sauudcrs
trustee , the Union depot company and
Thomas L. Kimball , president of the Union
do pot company.
The petition seta forth nil of the facts con
nected with the voting and issuing of the
$150,000 of bonds to aid In the construction of
the union passenger depot. It also sou forth
the fact , of the deeding of certain property to
Alvin Saundcrs , trustee , the consideration
for nil of this being that the Union Depot
company would construct a passenger depot
at a cost of $400,000.
The petitioner further alleges that the
depot was to bo open to all roads alike , upon
their paying a certain rental to bo agreed
upon ; that by collusion between the depot
company and the Union Pacific road nn
attempt has been made to freeze out the Mil-
wnukeo people and prevent thoni from run
ning their trains into this city.
The plaintiff further alleges that the depot
is In no wise similar to that represented by
the sketch presented to the city coun
cil and to the people before the
bonds were voted , being much smaller ,
and cheaper ; that up to this 71 nto the
vouchers show thut only about $30,000
has been expended upon the structure ,
though it is well under way and up to a
point where it would have required the ex
penditure of at least 8150,000 had it been
built according to the sketch submitted.
Mr. Stuht gives as his reason for commenc
ing suit against all of these defendants that
at the present time ho does not know where
the bonds are , hut if they uro in the hands of
Mayor Gushing or Comptroller Goodrich
ho wants to prevent them from de
livering them to Auditor Hen ton ;
and if they are in the hands of
Benton ho wants to prevent him from turn
ing them over to Mr. Kimball , president of
the depot company , and if in the hands of
Kimball , to prevent him from disposing of
them.
This showing was made before Judge
Doano last night , an injunction granted and
the case sot for heariuir January 5 , at 10:80 : a.
in. This same injunction prohibits the dis
posal of nny of the real estate now held by
Alvin Saundcrs as trustee.
Mr. Nash Kcplles to Auditor Urnton.
General Passenger AtrentNash of the Mil
waukee road takes exception to the statement
in lost night's BEE , purporting to come from
State Auditor Bcnton. Ho says that ho
never attempted to Influence Mr. Bouton in
any way regarding the depot and viaduct
bonds , and that all such statements
nro misrepresentations of the facts.
Mr. Nash says that hu told Mr. Bcnton that
the Milwaukee road was not interested in
the matter and had no quarrel with the
Union Pacific or the depot company. Said
Nash lust "Under circumstances
Mr. night : no
stances would wo attempt to do anything to
invulldato the bonds , and I cannot under
stand why Mr. Bcnton made his statement. "

This now empire of the northwest is
attracting universal attention and the
reason for this is the almost unlimited
resources that have recently heon opened
nnd the surprising growth of this region.
Largo agricultural areas ; vast forests
and immense deposits of precious inotals

resources of the country this section
olTqrs unoqunlcel opportunities for the
investment of capital and location of in

Who rules in this town ? .
%
Depends on the question up.
The lamp-chimney ques
tion what sort do you break ?
Whatever sort your dealer
deals in.
How , do you think , he
selects his chimneys ?
He buys those that cost him
least ; he can get the regular
price for them ; and the faster
they break the more he sells.
That's how he reasons. -
Tell him you ivant Mac-
beth's "pearl top " or " pearl
glass , " tough glass , transpar
ent , clear , not foggy , fine , of
right shape and uniform. Tell
him you'll pay him a nickel
more apiece , and that will
cover his extra costs twice
over. Tell him you Jon't pro
pose to break any more. Try
your hand at ruling.
