i
T-ouIs man who has evolved n remarkable
plan for the construction of a system of nar
row-gauge road § extending from St. Louis to
New Orleans , Aloun.ucrn.uo , N. M. , nnd the
farming land * of Kansas , Nebraska , Color
ado and nearly all tbo western states.
This system Is to bo known ns the
"Farmers' Kailrond of Missouri nnd the
Southwest. " But It take * cash , and much of
It , to build railroads. Mulzor evidently is not
prepared to advance all tbo cash necessary ,
and so ho kindly offers to lot the Chicago &
Alton road advance onouqh to comtnonco tha
work of construction. The remainder Is to
bo raised by selling shares of stock to
farmers nnd by disposing of the
land along the railroad right of way.
Passengers will bo carried out nt n rate as
low as ono half cent per mho , while freight
vrlll bo transported at cost. Part of the
Bctomo Is the establishment of what Mr.
Mulzor calls n "Sclcnlillo Uullroad bank , "
paying 5 , < H and 0 per cent for two , flVo nnd
six your deposits , to bo used only ns mort
gage loans on two and ono-half foot gauge
railroads wltn an estimated business of at
least 500 tons n day per mile , at not moro
than $1,000 per mile , the bank publishing
monthly a printed report of deposits nnd se
curity , so that every depositor can control
the business. So far AHil/.ors' scboino has
cot been adopted by thr Alton.
ELEVATOIIS C1.OSI ! COSiri'.TlTOttS.
A report has been started that all the Chicago
cage elevators have gone into n pool for thu
purpose of handling the wheat crop. 'Iho
elevator owners , however , deny the story in
tote , and say there novcr bus" bcon as much
competition in business in Chicago ns there
Is now.
"Tho elevators are not pooled , " said ono ,
"and the elevator men nro lighting each
ether very hotly for business. The reason
for the English syndicate closing four ele
vators Is that there was not business enouch
for them all , anil a saving of oxpnnsoH re
sulted in the shutting down of these surplus
houses.
ENDOHSK FOSTBIt'S SCHEME.

there. The Chicago sub-treasury is notified
and wo can draw tnat amount hern the same

The joint committee composed of tnotnbors
of the Board of County Commissioners , the
City council and the Board of Education hold
another meeting yesterday to decide upon
the election booth question.
Gus Andrccn presented the plan for an Iron
booth , while City Engineer Tillson submitted
plans for a wooden structure.
The estimated costa for eighty-two booths
was f H.OOO for booths , f..OOO for furniture
and $1,000 for Incidentals. In dividing up
tue expense it wfis decided that the county
should pay one-half of the whole amount , the
city one-quarter and the Board of Education
one-quarter ,
The universal opinion prevailed that the
booths and stalls ahold bo manufactured In
Omaha and by Omaha mechanics.
The committee decided to advertise for
bids. The plans are on tlio In the city en
gineer's ofticu. iilds will bo received by the
city engineer on both wood and Iron booths
until noon of September n. At U o'clock of

1'iii-K Hoard Dr. Miller Ilns
Homo Well Dcllncd Vlc\vs
on the Subject.
The mooting of tlio Uoanl of I'.irlt ComtnU-
slonors yesterday nftornoon was ft humnior.
Dr. Mlllor was brimming full of enthusiasm ,
mid tlio presence of several prominent citi
zens , who took part In the discussion , lent
additional Interest to the meeting.
The question of securing Inutl for park
purposes was the leading theme for discus
sion. The board had advertised for proposals
to sell land In various localities and thrco
responses wore received.
The land offered wns not located to the sat
isfaction of the members of the board ex
actly and they doulded to tnalto further effort
to secure prices on moro deslrublo tracts.
The prices ranged from $300 to ? 1,000 , per
aero.
All Want Parks.
Mr. John Uusb mid Mr. Herman ICountze
\vcro present to speak In behalf of the people
of the southern part of the city. Mr. Hush
said that while Hanscoin park was In the
soutb end of town It was Inaccessible to most
of 111' ) people who llvo south and east of the
Union Pacific and Burlington railway tracks ,
and there was n legitimate domain ! In the
southeastern part of the city for a park.
Mr. Kountzo spoke In 11 similar strain. Ho
bullovod that the board should select a tract
of land somewhere convenient for that part
of the city and do the sanio with respect to
the north and western uortiOns of the city ,
and then nsk for money enough at the coming
election to pay for these stvoral tracts. Ho
thought SliOO.OOO might bo reasonably asked
for by the board.
Mr.V. . M. Carter of IJruld Hill presented
the claims of the people living In the north
west part of the city. Ho anld that It wns
entirely out of the question for people resid
ing iu the north and northwest portions of
tlio cltv to think of gaining any benefit
worth mentioning from Hunscom park. It
was too far away , and the moans of reaching
It wore inconvenient and expensive for
people of largo families. Hunscom
park was not even convenient cnouulr
to those parts of the city , for
picnic purposes , and when his nolghoors , a
few weeks ago , had gone there to hold a pic
nic thiy found live other picnics in full
bloom in Hnnscom park at the same time ; so
that they felt all the while as though they
had noi gotten away from the busy throng of
the city.
Will Hunt Up Lands.
Mr. Carter then called the attention of the
board to an eighty aero tract lying west of
Druid Hill , just forty rods west of the chair
factory , tnat ho believed coulu be purchased
and would make an excellent park. Ho said ,
also , that there was a quarter section
cornering upon this eighty acres that ho bo-
llovod coum bo bought. Ho thought the Innd
could bo purchased for about $ aOU or $900 per
acre.
acre.Ho
Ho was requested by the board to secure
anil submit figures on the property doscribod.
Thou a general discussion followed and on
motion of Mr. Mlllnrd iho board decided to
again advortlso for proposals for the sale of
lands in tracts of twenty acres and upward ,
anywhere within the four-mile limit. These
proposals will bo received up to Septem
ber IB.
The board has not been a unit by any
means upon the question of purchasing lands
for park purposes. But the members have
llnally agreed that the best method to pursue
at present is to secure several tracts of
eighty acres or moro in different parts of the
city and submit a bond proposition for the
purpose of purchasing all of the several
tracts. The intention is to se
cure one tract in the northwest
part of ttio city , another directly north on a
line of the proposed Florence Boulevard , or
near it at least , another tract in the southeast
part of the city and about lot ) acres adjoining
the present Elmwood park on West Leaven-
worth street.
\\hut the Dlcinhcrfl Want.
Dr. Miller has been in favor of a string of
parks us indicated hero , with one large p.irk
of 1,000 acres directly west of the city and a
line drive or boulevard connecting them.
Other members of thu board are not in
favor of the ' largo pane at present for the
reason that the funds are not at hand for the
purchase of so largo a tract of land and they
do not think the people would vote bonds suf
ficient to in ako such a purchase. They are
nil practically agreed , however , upon the
purchase of several smaller parks.
The board allowed the flnul estimate of
$ r > , : t.7 ! 1" favor of the contractors who built
the Kltnn-ood park bridges and current ex
penses to the amount of $ . ' ,4 ± ! wore also or
dered paid.
Miss Anna Wilson sent a communication to
the board offering to donate the line bronze
fountain that stands in her yard on lower
Douglas street to the public to bo put in
Hanscom park. The superintendent was au
thorized to inform Miss Wilson that the gift
would bo accepted with thanks.
After the board had adjourned Dr. Miller
grew eloquent in talking about the future of
Omaha.
"I toll you , gentlemen of the board , " said
the genial ex-newspaper man , "this city Is
only In its babyhood. You may not agree
with mo now , out boioro ton years have
passed you will see that I was right when I
told you Unit tlio land for a lar o central
park should have boon bought while it was
comparatively cheap. I have submitted for
the present to the will of the majority of the
board and will no longer urge the purchasn of
'
a largo tract of land , but the day 'is coming
when the people of Omaha will wish thatniy
idea had boon adopted.
to tlio Future.
"I would not pure-huso this 1,000 aero tract
with a view to having it improved now or in
the near future. Slmnly purchase it and lot
It lie there until It is needed. Look 'at Mil-
wnukoo. purchasing land now at $ . ' 1,500 par
acre four miles out , because the park com
missioners of that city did not know.
enough to purchase it while tbo land
wns cheap. Twenty-live years from
today Omaha will have half n
million people and a largo central park will
bo as much of a necessity as a central mar
ket. Now Is the tlmo to buy the land. The
man who measures the future needs of this
city by the present dull times will make a
lamentable blunder. Property in Omaha
will never bo any cheaper than at present.
It will be a great deal dearer uoforo many
months , and then tbo people will wish
that this land had boon purchased sooner. "
Just as Dr. Miller llnisbcd his vigorous
little speech , Senator Mandorson and Mr. II ,
0. McLean , the assistant supervising archi
tect for tbo government , came in and the
conversation turned upon the availability of
tlio reservation now occupied by Fort Omaha
for park purposes.
"When ttio proper tlmo comes. " said Sen
ator Mandorson , "I shall do all I can to got
the Fort Omaha reservation for park pur
poses , but there -Is no use to ttUu about the
matter now. When ttio work on the now
post at Bellevue has boon gotten well under
way , then it will bo time to move on the gov
ernment for the donation of the Fort Omaha
reservation. "
A Domestic Klro Brand.
The advent of a baby with rod hair la n
Butte family promises to land tbo parents In
the divorce court. The unhappy father
searched his genealogical tree In vain for an
explanation of the brindle hirsute , and the
mother with equal zeal denied that her family
wore rod headed. Whence came the color )
There's the ru'b. The father tried to havn
the mother arrested for giving birth to a rod
haired baby. Tbo mother attempted to secure
the father's nVro.it for throwing cruel insults
and insinuations at bar and the sunset kid.
At lait accouriU It Is apparent the baby must

Many Fine Horses Uciii ) * Kntcrcd for
the Douglas County Knlr.
Applications by exhibitors for space In the
halls of the DoURlas county fair are far moro
numerous this year than last. The IJot Stock
and Poultry club of Omaha will make 130 entries
trios of the finest fowls ana pots over seen in
Omaha. This exhibit wilt bo a source of delight -
light to the ladled and children as well as
connoisseurs in such matters.
There seems to bo a misconception abroad
as to the scope of the Douglas county fair ,
and many people expect to tind nn exhibi
tion of a district or state fair order. The
management has been receiving applications
for space from breeders and farmers outside
tlio state. One of the largest breeders In
Kansas has sent n list to Secretary Baumor
of soventy-llvo different entries of pure bred
Devons and other cattle which ho wishes to
show. Requests fnr similar space have bean
received Irom Iowa and Missouri , all of
which the secretary has been obliged to re
fuse , as competition in live stock Is limited to
citizens of Dougl&s county. The speed track
only is open to competitors from all sources.
In this connection it might bo well to briefly
outline tbo history and purpose of tbo Doug
las County Agricultural society.
Prom 1SSO to ISSS.the state fair was held in
Omulia. In 1SS. " ) thd , , Omaha lair and exposi
tion was organized , offering liberal premiums ,
competition open to the world. This associa
tion held its last fairin Ibbl ) , at which tlmo
Its lo.iso on the old fair grounds expired. In
IS'JO the Douglas CoS'nty Agricultural society
held a fair on 'tho ' old grounds , offer
ing liberal premiums to county asso
ciations , but competition in everything
except in thOr speed ring was
limited to citizens of the country , offering
very fair purses ln _ the speed ring , which
brought together a good class of horses. This
year , in view of the fact that the now Fair
association was not ready to commence op
erations on account of the newness of its
grounds and absence : of proper buildings , the
Douglas County AgXieultural society decided
to hold ono moro county fair. This fair will
bo open to eountv ejcb'Ibipors only , except , as
before stated , in the1 speed ring , cm the old
grounds , and their'boing no district fair this
year it has offered 'very ' largo purses , the
result being that a largo number of fine
horses have boon. attracted hero. Over ninety
entries havo.buon nmitp so far , not counting
running stock. Many of the horses to start
this year have never appeared on the track
before , but have made private records which
are fast enough to admit them within ttio
charmed circle , which is a 2 : 'M gait.

"I noticed a very creditable display of
corn , beats and ether vegetables nt the depot
in Fremont the ether day ns I came through
there , " said C. 1C. Hamilton of the Norfolk
beet sugar factory to n reporter today. "It
strikes mo that tbo people all along the
various railroad lines of the state would do
well to follow the sama plan , so that people
pissing through the slate could see seine
samples of the crops now growing and being
harvested in the Holds of Nouraska. "
Sneaking of the sugar boot crop nt Nor
folk , Mr. Hamilton said : "Tho beets nro
doing well , but wo need moro warm , dry
weather for n few weeks to ripen them. Our
factory is now about completed and will bo
all re.idy for business bv October 1. Wo
shall have 11 capacitv of 350 tons per day.
Our factory at Chinco , Gal. , is now in full
blast. The season there Is about a month
earlier than hero. "
Mr. Hamilton said ho would like to examine -
ino ' .omo of the beets raised by Mr. Tullriod
in this county nnd if they were of good qual
ity the factory at Norfolk would take them.
