13Kn.Tlio ] somewhat sensational rumor *
which have gained currency In Lincoln
within the past twenty-four hours in regard
to an alleged nttomptof several membori of
the city council to extort money from the
property owners interested in the viaduct
appraisement damage * is the talk of Lin
coln today , and It Is moro than likely that a
rigid Investigation will follow. The investi
gation Is all the moro likely from the fact
that tlio parties making the chiireo do not
give the names of the count-Union who are
suspected of a desire to line their ( rackets
at the cxponso of the Interested property
owners. Consequently the suspicion rests
upon all allka
The viaduct damages have been a fruitful
aoui-co of jvoublo to the city council for two
months , and the people of the city have
been making some rather broad hints as to
the real cause of the delay. When the
damages lo abutting property were ap-
pralsod the amount did not sutmj seine of
the property owners , although Mayor Weir
asserts that a part of them were perfectly
content. An Injunction was secured from the
district court and llnally a now appraise
ment ordered. T.'io ' now appraiser increased
the origlni'.l award to MCOO. about S1G.OOO
moro Ultra the llguro was llxod lit In the ilrst
instance , j'lien Mayor Weir made a public
protest iu an Interview in Tun Dec nnd a
lengthy nnd somewhat acrimonious discus
sion followed the mayor's statements in the
local papers of this city. After much delay
and many disappointment * the railroad com
panies llnnlly agreed last Wednesday to ad
vance the money necessary to pay tbo dam
ages to the property owners provided the
council would pass another ordinance guar
anteeing the repayment of thn money so
loaned to thu city.
It was to nass this additional ordinance
that the extra session of last evening was
liold. lloforo It tot together , however , the
word was passed around that there was to
bo no quorum , for the reason that certain
members of the coubcll had made u demand
upon the property owners for 1,000. The
mayor's Informant of the attempted hold-up
was no less n person than Judge C. L. Hall ,
ono of the Judges of the district court.
The high standing of Judge Hall in this
city maiccs it Improbable that the charge
will pass without an investigation. In the
mcnutlme , the passage of the required ordi
nance nt " : 'M o'clock this morning has balked
any attempt of the suspected councllinon to
to secure the $ -1,000 as a price lor their up-
irart of the matter. The danger of bribery
lias passed , but the fact that a demand was
made for money still remains to rankle in
the breasts of the councilmen who desire to
keep their organization llko Ciusar's wife ,
above suspicion.

The hearing In the mandamus case brought
by Judge Doano ot Omaha to compel the
managers of the impeachment cases to pay
him un additional compensation of $500 was
Tcsumcd before Judge Strode of the district
court this forenoon. Manager Colton did
not make his appearance and so the weight
of his testimony could not be added to that
already given by Managers Casper and
Barry. Judge Doano placed two witnesses
on the stand to give evidence in rebuttal l"
They were Judge Pound nnd Attorney Snoll 1 ,
both of whom assisted in the prosecution of 1i i :
the Impeached olllclals. Their testimony
agreed with that given by Judge Doano. So
the Judge has no further light upon the
verbal contract entered Into between the
contending parties to the present suit
Hut it it > barely possible that
ha will not bo L'.O
called upon to
pass upon the evidence.Tho attorney >
for the managers raised the point that iaas1
much as tlio managers were , by virtue 3f
their connection with tbo state legislature
and by the authority conferred upon them
by that body , -either a legislative or n Judi
cial body , and that such being the case they >
would have no right to enter Into a' contract
with Judge Doane that might bind the state ,
Judge Strode has taken this point under ad
visement nnd states that ho will render ila
decision next Tuesday. Judge Doano Is the
only olio of the three attorneys who has
made any demand upon the managers for
additional compensation , but it is believed
by the managers that in the event that the
Omaha attorney succeeds In compelling
them to pay to him the additional amount :
ho asks , thoothor attorneys , Judge Lambert- '
son and Judge Pound , will also make 'ta
ulmllar demand. The case will go to the
supreme court whichever way Judge Strode
may decide it next Tuesday.

this place this morning , which resulted In
the loss of his left leg. Several days ago ho
oft Ponder by loam on a hunting expedition
ivlth a companion. Their plan was to drlvo
as far as Cody in Chnrry countv and put in
thoif thnn at shooting gamo. Tills morning ,
shortly nftor daylight , they passed through
town and drove on to tha canon half a mlle
west of town , Intending to pull up
among the trees and go into camp
and prepare breakfast. Just as they
bad crossed the bridge and were in the act
of turning off the road , which Is banked
high , the wagoa overturned , caused by a
too sharp turn. Men aud all fell out , and
simultaneously one of tho.doublo-barrolud
shotguns lying In the wagon discharged its
contents * into Amos' thigh. Leaving him
alone , his companion hurried back to town
tor n physician , who was soon on the spot ,
\Vhilo alone Amos showed ndmlrablo pluck
and presence of mind through his pain by
tying a rope about his leg above the wound
nnd tightening it by twisting It with a stick
to stop the hemorrhngo. The entlro dis
charge of No. 6 shot from ono barrel of a
10-bore gun entorr.d the thigh , causing nn
ugly wound and shattering the bono Into
countless pieces. It wus necessary , in order
to save his life , to act quickly , aud amputa
tion was decided upon. Surgeon McKnight
performed the operation a t the juncture of
the upper and middle third. It is pronounced
a wry clover piece of surgery. The opera
tion was completed so soon nftor the acci
dent and the loss of blood was so slight that
it is believed the patient will recover
strength very goon and the wound bo healed.

CONSERVATIVES COUNSEL MODERATION
Sentiment Among Kinployci on the Over

ment nrlileo Arbitrary Vlow of
n Itnllwor Sinn Notes.
A gcntlomon identified with organized
railway labor , who is at present on the pay
rolls of the Union Pacific nnd is ndverao to
seeing his name paraded in the public prints
just now , Is authority for the statement
that most ot the employes on the Union Pa
cific system in Wyoming and the west are
indulging in some very plain talk in their
lodge room -ovor the proposed reduction of
wage * .
Thl * same authority says that it Itoops the
conservative faction of the organization !
busy to counsel moderation and restrain
their moro radical brethren from precipi
tating a strike that would make railway his
tory. The battle is waging somewhat
fiercely on western divisions and it
is generally admitted that the
article in TUB BEB published last Monday
covered the local sentiment of Union Pacific
employes exactly without the slightest
exaggeration.
It Is salil that there is a general opposition
to the proposed cut and Ii the radical wlag
of the western divisions comes out on top In
the present discussion ot the situation , a
volcano of discord mav burst forth suddenly
nnd cause considerable trouble on tbo on tire
system. ,
From I an excellent source , it has bocn as
certained that the ohvo branch to bo ex
tended to the company will bo adoption
of either a proposition tb loan the company a
percentage of wages or clso have the cut
limited to sixty days. In event of refusal of
the ' company to accede , the probability of a
strlko of deplorable magnitude is indeed
flattering , so the knowing ones say.
The most radical wing of organized em
ployes openly lavors a strlko before submis
sion to n reduction.
Ono ( of these men told a reporter last even
ing ) that he would "just as le nvctako chances
of a good salary undcra receiver as to submit
to further retrenchment under the present
management. " Ho says that some of the
high-priced ] officials would bo dropped under
a receivership and that his opinion was
shared by many members of his lodge.
Deplores the Present Orlal * .
A conscrvatlvo railroader spoke strongly
against the Idea of a strike nt the present
time. Ho admitted the power of organized
labor on the Union Pacific system aud said
that the wheels of traffic could be completely
tied up. Ho favored submission to the cut ,
as he had confidence in President Clark's assurance -
suranco , published In the BBE , to the effect
that reduced salaries would bo restored when
the business of the road permitted. With
evident regret this young man stated that
the conservative element in the organiza
tions was at the present time in the
minority , and that unless the proposition
soon to bo submitted to the company by a
committee of employes was favorably con
sidered a strlko or attempt nt it , at least ,
was among the strong probabilities of the
near future.
The charter of the now American Railway
union , or federation of local organizations ,
will arrive today. A secret mooting has
been arranged for tomorrow afternoon , when
affairs will doubtle. s assume definite shape.
Two organizations interested in the sub
ject mot last evening in this city. At each
mooting it Is said a practical unanimity
of sentiment prevailed , nnd that if the com
mittee of employes that will wait upon the
officials of the Union Paciilo is treated with
indlfferonco by the latter , or no compromise
results from that conference , trouble will
surely bo the sequel.
George W. Vroman , Chairman of the griev
ance committee of the Union Pacific engi
neers , arrived in the city yesterday and reg
istered at the Arcado.
' Mr. Vroman does uot coma to Omaha for

reader last evening. "Ho comes hero for busi

A Burlington man had something to say yes
terday morning about the discrimination islu
favor of Council Bluffs on the bridge ques
tion and incidentally called down the Kocu
Island and Mr. Snydor's statement regard
ing the history of the attempt to abolish the
arbitrary.
"I'ho truth of the matter is that the IJock
Island has boon trying to carry water on
both shoulders. There wus never a special
mcetingcalled to discuss the bridge question ,
although It is true that the Rock Island re
quested Mr. Midgley , chairman of rene
Western Freight association , to call such i a
meeting , I ttilu.lt , for August 8 , but before
the meeting wus called the Hock Island with ;
drew its request and the whole matter fell
through.
"When wo were chocking up rates under
the Nebraska maximum rate bill the ques
tion of adding 0 cents a hundred on freight
between Council Bluffs and Omaha cntr.o up.
The Nebraska roads contended like the Iowa
roads hud contended when the railroad com
mission was created in that state , that ex
isting rates were entirely too low. It was ,
therefore , agreed to tuck on a 5-cent differ
ential on all westbound freight from Coun
cil Bluffs. The order was scut out to add
the 5-cent arbitrary , but before anything
was done , other than the publication of
tariffs , a delegation of Council Bluffa jobbers
waited on Mr. Sago of tbo Kouk Island and
shortly after that company withdraw from >
the compact and announced that it could not ,
for the present , at least , allow the dilTcron
tial to bo added on Council Bluffs freight
seeking entrance into Nebraska territory ,
"Now there is something exceedingly sug
gestive of the 'nigger in the woodpile'in this.
I make bold to glvo a reason for the sudden
withdrawal of the llock Island from its posi
tion , and 1 tfellovo the facts will bear sino
out in the statement that the Kock Island
people aud the Implement and grocery trades
of Council Bluffs have tied up for mutual
benefit. With the understanding that as
much freight us poisiblo should bo diverted
lo the Uock Island , the luttor company
agreed to withhold us long as possible the
arbitrary applying to Council Bluffs Jobbers.
An inspections of the waybills rs.of
Hhippers from Mississippi river points to
Council Bluffs will Btiovr that the Itock
Island is doing the bulk of the business ,
which IE signillcant In itself. The grand
stand play of Mr , Sage , however , won't win
n game , and I anticipate uoeing this matter
adjusted in the near future. "
It is n uull known fact that prospective
jobbers looking to a location in Omutia have
been beset with Council Bluffs people and
have been told that they could not afford to
Iccato in Omaha with the present differen
tials existing , Should they locate , however -
over , in Council BlulTs they would
have access to Nebraska territory
"on ttio suing equality as the Omaha ,
jobbers , but should they build into Omaha ,
they would huvo to pay u 5-cent arbitrary to
get into inwu territory. In consequence ,
Council Bluffs gets the best of tlio situation ,

rates to points south of Ashland , Oro. , via
Portland that nro less than the rate via
Ogdcn , U. T. , nnd Sacramento , Cal. , to the

Not many people know how much material
enters into the composition of n first class
passontjor car. To build a passenger car of
tlio best kind requires nboutO-100 foot of pop-
lur , 3,400 foot ot nsh , 1,000 feet of whlto plno
and 2,300 foot of yellow plno , 500 fcotof the
best oalr , 400 foot of the strongest hickory ,
400 feet of chijrry , 400 foot of maple
Tcnoor and porhnpi small amount * of
other woods. There nro four pairs of
wheels and axles , two pairs of pas

idd screws , chandeliers , air brakes , sash
balances , slsty or seventy glass panes for
the windows and doors , staves , scat fixtures ,
lamps , door locks , knobs and hinges , basket
racks , window lifts , window fasteners and
seat springs , and you h.ivu most of the hard
ware. Then there are about COO yards of
plush , 100 yards of sheeting and 200 pounds
of hair. When all these things are taken
into the account no wonder can bo felt that
a passenger coach costs over $4,000. The
materials do not cost this much , but before
the car Is put on the road about ? 1'JOO , will
bo expended in lubor.

It was not very well cooked sometimes , and
bo of Ion ate fast.
When hunting or fighting a day would often
pass without anything being catvn nt all.
Vet ho never had dyspepsia.
He never "dieted. "
Wa liear too much about "dieting" those
days.
A man inuen't oat plo , or cabbage , or cake ,

Ho nmsii't eat very much and ho mint do it
rory slow. Ho mu.t never drink wucn ho
cats. Ha imun't hurry , lie musn'l worry ,
And so It ROCS. .
This in all very good advice. But it would
worry a man to death to remember it ull.
Why can't we live like the Indian in n
