Vice President Dumontof tbe Nebraska
Central said that it would bo folly for the
coinmittoo to adopt tbo amendment , as It
would tlo up matter * to such an extent that
als company could not accept the
bonds if they \vero voted. Should ho
accept thorn , they would bo useless ,
as they would bo unmarketable. No
financial company would purchase bonds
when such restrictions were thrown about
their issue.
issue.What
What Does the County Got ?
It was at this point that Mr. John D. Howe
declared himself. He wanted to know what
the county was to got In return for the § 1-
200,000 that was asked as a subsidy. It was
true that the bond * did not amount to that
su'u , but the right of way and other sub
sidies , added to the face of the bonds would
reach that cvon noxv. The county was not
interested in the solo of the company's pri
vate bonds , but was interested In miklnptho
best posiole bagaln to secure the roaa. Ho
had talked with men who were in a position
to know , and had boon informed that the
proposed bridge could bo built for (500,000 ,
just half of what was asked from Douglas
county.
Mr. Dumor.t replied that ho bad supposed
that Mr. Howe intended to bo fair , but ho
bad listened to siren voices ; ne bad listened
to John A. Horbacb , who was dead sot
against the Nebraska Central bridge and
the road as well. It was Horbacn who
had said that tha bridge would cost not to ex
ceed J500.000. Mr. Howe did not give his
road credit for what it uroposed to do. The
bridge meant only u small portion of tno ex
pense. The rig&t-of-wuy through the city ,
ho sale ] , was not a question for the county
board to consider , as thatwasaumttorforthe
city to Icok after. If the commissioners pro
posed to take up the question of arbltratiou ,
that loft nothing for the Judges of the court ,
who constituted the regular arbitration
board , with nothing to ao. Mr. Dumont
them showed in what manner the construc
tion of the bridge and the road would
Donellt Omaha. It would bring In the east
ern roads and locate tboir western terminal
points on this aide of tha river.
Judge Stenborg urged that a maximum
rate par car should bo tlxed ; and , unless tbo
rate was llxod , ho thought the proposition
would be defeated at the polls
Ilitth Sides of the llato Question ,
In speaking of rates Mr. Dumont stated
that his idea was to build a bridge that
would cost $1,000,000. Other roads could use
It and It his road was not tlod down to con
tain rates , they would haul their
own frolgbt over the sama at reason
able tolls , tolls that could bo guaranteed
to bo cheaper than iboso offered by tbo
Union Pacitlo. What Omuba wanted was
competition. Competition that meant n rate
of FJ.50 per car aud 10 cents per passenger
when competing railroads furnished tholr
own motive power. As far as the bridge
toll was concerned , bo did not bollovo
that was the question of paramount
importance. The mum question wo bow to
got Into Omaha. If the commissioners wont
ahead and fixed a low rate , ono that could not
bo chantea.lt would be held out to tbo capital
ists that a rate war would bo Imminent for
all time to como and would defeat tbo sale
of the bonds and kill the project ,
Mr. Howe denied that he had sought his
Information from the enemies of the bridge
scheme. Ho was simply laboring In the in
terests of the public , but ho snw that tbo
gentlemen on the other sldo were loaded
to tbo muizlo. Ho bold that If tbc
Nebraska Central bridge was built and
a rate of tl per car was made on 100,000 can
per your , the prolila from the bridge would
pay the Interest on $1,000,000 of bonds and
leave a sinking fund of $30.000 per yoar.
This added to the depot charges , tbc
tolls over tbo Iowa and South Oma
ha branches would make a great
money making coucern. Tbo bridge wua
not a local affair , but it meant relief to the
country to the east and to the west and ho
hoped the maximum rate would remain f 1
per car. If U was found that that sum was
uot enough then It could be changed.
Mr. Dumont elated that if this was done
his company could uot accept tbo proposition.
JlenetlU That Appear Certain ,
Mr. E. Hojowalor stated that bo appeared
at a tax payer , a property owner and cltl-
ion. What bad already been done by tbc
company bad given Omaha considerable ben
efit and if the road and bridge was built It
would glvo Omaha a boom. Ho did not think
ho commissioners should attacn such
restrictions to tbo proposition as to miiko it
u farce and place it In a pobltlon where it
could not be accepted. The bridge rate , ho
considered , was n small matter when the
other benotlto that Oraaba would derive
were taken Into consideration. The construc
tion at the bridge meant competing lines as
fur east as Now York and the lakes and
cheaper rates on everything shipped in and
out. It was preposterous to tain about the
Nebrosua company carrying a car over its
bridge and to South Omaha for il. There
bad been talk about the Union Pacillc
having a minimum rate of $4 per cur ,
but its maximum rate had frequently
been as high as 812. Mr. Rosowatcr stated
that ho did not want to say anything that
could reflect upon Mr. Howe's source of in
formation , but ho thought that it might have
como from some ono opposed to the scheme.
John H. Horbach bud called on Mr.
Kosowater and bad spent two hours tolling
him the old story about n cheap
bridgo. He had said that bo could build a
bridge at Florence for SoOO.OOO. Horbach had
wanted to knock out the Nebraska Central
scheme and build 200 miles of road Into tbo
interior of the state.
Cleveland , O. , had glvon J4,000,000 to
uid In the construction of a viaduct and
Douglas county could afford to glvo
tbu bonus asked for , as the now railroad
meant competition anil better treatment from
other linos.
To show that another bridge inoaut com-
polillon , ho cued the fact of tbo construction
of the Douglas street bridge. Passenger
rutos bad dropped from ! > 0 cents to 10 cents ,
with the Union Pacillc owning a largo Inter
est lu the latter bridge.
Will Kmniiclpate Omitha.
The fact , bo said , was that if the Nebraska
Central bridge was constructed , that within
two years Omaha would have such a boom
sbo could control tbo railroads Instead of
being controlled by them.
Mr. Kosowater bad signed Ri.OUO for the
proposed Hitchcock hotel , not that be thought
that it would help him. but that it would
benefit the community ; he bad glvon f'OO
to tbo Boyd opera bouso , but it was not with
the understanding that the rate would bo ro-
ducod.
In tbo matter of railroad rates , be believed
that a maximum rate per pound should bo
llxod , but that It should differ on different
kinds of freight.
John L. McCaguo said tbo trouble was that
Omaha had boon bottled up too long the pro
jectors of tha Nebraska Central bnd outlined
a way to got oul , and it should bo loft to the
taxpayer * to say whether or not thiiy wanted
the opportunity.
Commissioner Tlmmo was of tbo opinion
that if tbo proposition was tied down with a
lot of rate attachments It could not bo ac
cepted , nnd In view of this fact no moved
that all reference to bridge rates and
rates on the east and west line bo
stricken out. This was discussed at some
length ana Anally adopted.
Judge Slcnburg did not want the rate so
low that It would block the enterprise , nor
did he want it so high that it would defeat
the proposition when it was submitted to thu
voters.
Mr. Howe Insisted that the bridge rate
uliould be the same as at St. Louis. Ha
wanted a maximum rate , and If thu cotnmla-
sloners did not tlx ono be would wash bis
hands at tbo business.
He then moved that tbo rate DO flxed the
snmo as that over tbo St. Louis bridge. The
motion was defeated , after wblrb Mr. Ilowt
announced that If the proposition went be
fore the people with Mr. Tirarae't motion Incorporated -
corporatod , it would bo deteatca ,

At the commlttoQ meeting held yesterday
afternoon County Attorney Manonoy ap
peared nlono as tbo legal advisor for the
board , and as a result an unusual amount ol
harmony prevailed. As a part of the oriel
nal proposition , Mr. Dumont submitted tbc
following :
ThU proposition shntl , after belli , : duly

Mr. Matoney stated that In bis judgincni
the tiling of such a document amounted to e
mortgage Juit ai much as the former propo
sitlon. Thei-o was butJ two things to do ,
ucccpt Ibis in the form'ofu'lmortcapo ' upon
tbo property of the Nooraska Central , or
"
rely "nlono upon the rnHwuy company for
carrying out the terms of tbo"agreement's ,
Mr. Dumont asked that both the original
proposition and tbe amendment bo elimi
nated. They amounted to mortgages or noth
ing. If they were mortgages they tied up
the property of the company , and If they
were not , then incorporating them lu the
agreements was merely buncombe.
" \Vo would like to put this on you. "
ansvtoredMr. Berlin , "but II It is going to
kill the scheme , tbon wo will do nothing of
the kind.1
BMr. Mahoney enquired of Mr. Dumont :
"Would you bo willing when the bonds are
delivered to your company to enter Into an
agreement that If tbo company falls to com
ply with the terms of the agreement , or soils
Its property , that the bonds , with interest ,
shall bo refunded to tno county ) "
Continuing ho said that if tbu company
would so aKroo , the county would havu a
corporate liability that nothing but a fore
closure would defeat.
Baloro Mr. Dumont could answer Mr.
Stcnoorg moved the adoption of the amend
ment offered by Mr. Dumout.
Mr. Dumont replied that If the amendment
was to assume the form and nature of amort-
gage It would tie the road bauil and foot , us
It would bo a llrst lion upon fit of its hold
ings , and would prevent the sale of bonds for
raislnc money to carvv on the work of con
struction.
Mr. Mahcnoy careful-examined ! the paper
and gave it as his opinion that nothing could
bo gained by the county by rocordins the In
strument , though a court niitrht give it the
construction that It was the intention to
make the document a lieu upon tbo com
pany's land.
When a vote was reached all of the mem
ber * voted for tbo amendment.

It Is nol often that the diplomatic and con-

is likely to do so in the approaching light.
The bill us now before the house consoli
dates the missions to Sweden and Norway

vian and Danes of the northwestern states ,
ivhero they form a largo element of the pop
ulation , are said to be greatly incensed ut

received by members of the foreign affairs
committee stating that If this plan Is carried
through many of these foreign voters , who

mutter bos attracted tbe attention of many
of the northwestern members , and a strong

Hon. John M. Thurston of Omaha was

Amorlcus club at Pitlsbur ? , and m an Inter-
view In today's Post said : "You have soon

as auro to lead the partv to victory were his

letter of declination there has been no innro
talk of him ai a presidential candidate. I
was not for Mr. Harrison , though
his ndminlbtrntlon has given satisfac

Blaine wo could sweep the countrv.
Still the narty is stronger , of coursb ,

' Blue Jeans , " now running at tbo Boyd ,
has boon ouo of tbo tnost successful of tha
now plays ot the past two yours , and this is
doubtlois uuo in a great moisuro to the roal-
Utlc ollncts oinployea In It ? stiisinf.
Tbo sawmill acono Is ono ot the strongest
bits of realism put on the stago. There UN
two or ihroe great steel circular sawj In mi-
lion , and several boards are sawn In two to
prove there ls no illusion about thorn. Tlio
hero , after bolug stunned in a light with rn
enemy , Is thrown acrosi n board that HIH o i
the table ready to be fed to a saw.
i'ho enemy turns tbo power on tbo
remorseless machine , starts tbo board
feeding into the cruel tooth nnd loaves hU
victim to his fate. Inch by inch tbo Uncon
scious mrm U drawn toward the Jaws of
death , and tbo audience , which Knows there
la no shum about these steel tooth , holds Its
broalti lu fear. Ncaror nnd nearer that
Inert body glides until it seems as If there
was no escape. At tbo Instant when a bloody
scone appears to bo assured and the audi
ence Is wrought up to the pitch of shouting
an alarm the hcrolno bursts Into iho mill ana
snntuhos her husband from the terrible dan
ger. It U a thrilling scone , that would stir
tlio most sluggish blood.
Among tbo other realistic effects is a
young bull , a Uaudbomo , blooded mil-
tnal , which the hcrolno fuoJs wllb
i-tvbbaso leaves and then sacrifices for a po
litical barbruuo lu the Intort'st of her lover.
An extremely clever thine 1 * tbo country
band , und it Is true to life. In ono scene u
pretty llttlo child is undressed upon the
stogo by Its mother ami put into UH night
gown , ThU is thu sweet touch of homo Ufa
that reaches the hearts of the audlnnco.
Among the striking effects Is un nrp'o trco
which drops Its blosom : lu a shower whou
shaken ,
"Devil's Mine , " now running at the I'nr-
nam Street theater , has ulso been vcry c-
cesstful lu the cast , which Is piooably Uuo > o
Its melodramatic flavor Ono of thu
acts ends with an attempted lynch
ing. An old prospector ulscovc'rs u
rich gold mine and thu villulu contil at to
have bun suspected of roboory. Tbu in ng
nant miners string tno old nun up bv n rnpn
thrown over a troo. As hu swings Into > pace
the hero enters , takes in the Mituutlnu at a
glance and with a well ulmod pistol shot cil *
the rope and avos the prospector. It u ukoi
an unusually strong scene , and the curtain
gees down amid a thunder of nppUuso.
In another act the hero falls into the hnndi
of the vlllutn and U bound to u true. A rllla
U laid across a barrel with Iho miizzlo
pointed directly at his hnart. A sUmo at
tached by a string to the trigger U so ar
ranged that wlion , \ short ploco of u lluhto 1
cJiuillo shall burn to Its socket the weight
will fall and discharge the gun. The cindlo
burns gradually , but an Instant bofora iho
fHal fall should occura filondly hand cuts
the hero's bond * . Tha rlllo gees off with a
loud explosion , but Its human turzutilroppod
to iho ground a fraction of a second boforu
and so escaped.
Those are exciting Incidents of stage of ]
foots , and It Is not to bo wondured that lb y
fill audiences with outhuslaitn.
