THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : \\flNESDAY , NOVEMBER 29. 1893 , TO PR01ECT ALL INTERESTS Plan for Impartial Consideration of the Overland Route's ' Affairs. * UNION PACIFIC REORGANIZATION SCHEME Work of tlio Coinmlltre n * Ontllnril Iloet * Oennrnl Appnirnl Itt-crlvnrn Ask tlio Court tci r.jcTliflr lUtoofSal- nry llnllrouil Notes. The plan of reorganization of the Union I'ndlic system as outlined In yesterday morn- Ing'a HF.K lves general satisfaction at headquarters - quarters , nssurinf nt it docs an Impartial nnd fair consideration ol nil the Interests In volved In a property whoso Indehtcdncss touches nearly K'-W.OOO.OOO. UutHio plan does not necessarily contem plate any hasty notion on the part of the reorRaimatlon committee In removing the servants of the court from tholr positions as receivers. In point of fact , the receivers may hold ofllco Indefinitely , or uutll such time as M the Indebtedness of the company lias been taken can ; of. The commltteo of rcariMtilration , in the opinion of a well known lawyer , will only attempt to hrltiR all tlio Interests of the road together upon some general tilan of financing the company. This may include the Issuing ol now mortgages , the .scaling down of the Interest , the 'extension of the government Hen , and the satisfactory equlpmunt of the L-ravo financial problem with the smaller holders of Union 1'aclllu securities. A llrst mortgage holds seniority over a government Hen , while a government Hen holds priority over a collateral trust note. Tlicso Inter ests can ho united probably upon some general plan of reorganization whether the little follows who hold Union Vaciflc se curities will ngroo to a compromise on a loss i-.Uo of Interest , Is ono of the questions which the committee must decide for itself after the most careful canvass of the situ- utlon. ' Herein lies the greatest danger of fore closures,1' us the attorney remarked. "To Keep the property from disintegration the present interests would have to arrange for the purchase of these claims or a now com pany would have to ho reorganized for the purchase , The govornhiont also might con clude to ho a party to the schema of securing a larger interest In the system , in which ovcnt it would como in us a private parly and take Us chances with the rest.

There is trouble brewing for the "low joints , " as the local passenpisr agreement is called , and something may bo hoard to drop In the not remote future. Yesterday the members of the local agreement held a meet ing t the oftlco of the secretary , .lames W. Miinn of the Klkhorn , and after reducing the secretary's salary to a small pittance proceeded to rearrange the manner of voting under a. decision of Chairman Caldwell of the Western 1'assengor associa tion , who apportioned the rotes ns follows : Northwestern , 3 ; Turlington , 3 ; Hock Island , 1 j.Missourl Pacific , \Vabash 1 ; , 1 ; Milwaukee , 1. In giving three votes to the Northwestern the chairman held that the KlUhorn , Chicago. St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha and the Northwestern were each entitled to ono vote , while the three votes for the ; Burlington included the IJ. & M. in Nebraska , tlio Chicago , Burlington & Qmni.v and the Kansas City , St. Joe & Council DlufTs. 1'ho Milwaukee and Itock Island seriously object to this unfair arrangement , and it-is understood will protest against the ' 'action of Mr. Caldwt-11 in ducluing upon matters whlolftidUborn the locaTagi-ccmeiit entirely. Air. Charles Kennedy , general northwcsi- crn passenger aecnt of the Hock Island , pro tested vigorously against the injustice , stat- iiiK iiiui , uniicr mo nrraiiKoment Ins road could bo mulcted in itamages for circum stantial Irregularities by the combina tion of the Klkhorn aim Turlington , competitors of the Hock \ Island , for Lincoln business. Ho regarded the local agreement of little value , its the West ern PassoiiRer association was fully capable of righting any wrongs that might bo done in the payment , of commissions or cuttmir rates. Ho sahl "no didn't propose to submit to such an Infamous injustice and would bringthomattcr oefoic bis general passciiL'pr ngent for correction. "Mr. Caldwell has looked at this matlci through tlio rose-colored spectacles of the \ycstcrn Passniigor association , " ho con- tinned , "and has. therefore , not grasped the situation as presented from ii local stand point. Ho has placed a club in the hands of tnesp roads that misht. bo USLH ! with fatal results wcro the systems so inclined. Uiwn ts face there has neon the grossest favonto Ism shown in the settlement of this ques tion and 1 don't propose to stand it. " Mr. l'A. . Nash , general agent of the Mil waukee , was Just as outspoken as Mr. Ken ncdy , but thought it would no foolish to kick aguinst ttio decision , ns Mr. Caldwcl would prohaDly bo sustained oy the Westen Passenger nssooiation in his ruling. "Just remember. " said he , "that the bnlpn Pacilli- . the Klkhorn and the Omaha roads , which havu nqV n imrticlo of interest cast of the rlvor. might inuvo to cinch the Milwaukee for some alleged Irregularity and Imiwso the line. Now. that is where the injustice of this new arr\ngemcnt lays.

Nebraska is said to bo In fair condition for a hard light. The personnel of her team is ns follows : IIopowcll , Iho fearless and experienced center rush , will line up against the giant Kopers , and although ho Is much inferior in weight , ho will perform his duties In his own peculiar ami masterly wny. Dorn will play right guard. Ho is a very light man for that position , but ho has mot nobody yet who has overmatched him. Dorn is a now man. but ho plays like a veteran , nnd by many ho is called the best uiati in the eleven. Whipplo , the Omaha boy , will play right tackle. Last year he played on the Omaha High school olovou. Ho has played n re markable game this season , and when ho lakes the ball it is a auro gain. "Wiggin will play right end.

Ho also is a light man , but ho plays low and Is a hard man to move from his tracks. Oury , of last year's Omaha High school team , will play left tackle. Ho is n strong man and makes steady gains around the end and through the line. Ho will play a hard game in the presenceof his Omaha friends. Johnston , last year's captain , will hold down loft end. This wiry little man is a great taeklorund a good blocker. Because of Captain Pace's resignation Johnston will act as Held captain. Harry Frank Is another Omaha boy who is on the team. Ho will piny quarter back. This Is his llrst game , but ho will astonish his Omaha friends by his tackling and blocking. Flipp.in , the good-natured , famous colored half back , will play with his old tlmo force add Imoetuoslty. Ho has had hard luck this scasou. Ho has been in bad shape every game , but plucky man that ho is , ho would let no injury , however serious " , keep him out of a gamo. Today ho is" in his best shape and ho xvill surely puncture holes in Iowa's stone wall lino. A. li Yont , called little Yont , is right half back. Ho bus done most of Nebraska's ground gaining this year , and ho is a dandy. He can buck the line or circle the ends with equal facility. J. G.

Born of the tribulations of the Puritan nnccstors , Thanksgiving day has como down to the modern civilization Invested with a wealth of associations which have been largely lost sight of In the lapse ot centuries. The original Thanksgiving proclamation promulgated by Governor Witillirop amid the perils of n now world meant lar more to Iho scanty dwellers on that rugged , coast than President Cleveland's manifesto docs to the millions of American people today. With the Puritan * it carried with it nb joyful anticipations of feasting and reunion. U was but the recollection of continued hardships nnd disaster over which but n feeble ray of light beamed from the tlTt iu the still gathering clouds. Just emerging from n night of nflllctlon , Iho Puritans hailed Iho llrst gleams of sunshine with grateful hearts nnd on bended knees returned thanks to the God who had led them safely through the darkness. Perils of war and famine and dlspaso had all but compassed tholr destruction , but pluck and enterprise had won the day nnd with the tlrst Thanksgiving dawned the future of the American republic. Observance In Omniin. Tlio pratso that will ascend from human hearts tomorrow In Omaha will not cele brate dcllvurauce from such perils as encom passed our forefathers , but may bo none the less sincere. U will be thanks for con tinued national prosperity , for life nnd health , for family circles left unbroken in the passage of the year. It is but natural that with the changes wrought by time , Iho usages ot Iho day should nlso receive the Impress of moro modern times. The undent Thanksgiving of fastlne and prayer would not bo u popular holiday in these later timos. It is still a day of worship , but also nn occa sion -when old associations nro renewed nround the festal boara when the scattered links of the family chain nro welded once moro together , nnd happy faces and buoyant hearts reflect moro' Htly the spirit of the day. Thankful Hearts nnd Full Htomnchi. The Thanksgiving dinner is essentially the fcaturqpf thu day. Around it cling the ten- dorcst associations and most joyous mem ories. Kvcry dish with its grateful fra grance represents the care and forethought ofxsoino member of the household. Every glass ana plate upon the table is arranged with a tender thought for the convenience 6f the guest. The preparation ot this dinner is iho center around which the domestic life revolves for days before. The fattest turkey must be carefully selected and fat tened to just the right degree of succulent sweetness. The mince.pies must be flavored just as the absent members of the house hold will like to have thorn , and every detail of the repast must be perfection. Turkey * liy the Ton. Of course the turkey is the central figure of the repast. It Is 'difllcult to estimate the number of turkeys that will bo offered up on the altar of Thanksgiving in Omaha this year , but a conservative gucsa would put tlio number at not less than 10,000. The average weight is about ten pounds , so llfty tons of turiioys will congest the digcstivo organs of Omahn epicures tomorrow. Tons of these birds arrived in the various commission houses.ycsterday and many more will come -today. Mostof , , them are shipped in from central and eastern Nebraska , where they are fattened especially for the Thanksgiving niirknt. Prints nrn liixf tn II , font. * fiir tlin ohoico turkeys , but U is safe to say that by tonight a good turkey can bo purchased fo * 10 cents. Cranberries of the best variety may be had at 10 ecuts per quart , while the other accessories of the dinner will vary with the means of thu purchaser. Chickens arc 8 to 10 cents , ducks \y/t cents and goose 10 cents. Venison steak is 25 cents per pound and 'possoms are iu the market at an even dollar each , Fowl 1'luy JCvoiy Year , Probably not ono in twenty of those who will assist ) n demolishing these turkeys tomorrow have anv idea how they uro pre pared for the market. This has become n Jlno art , and the process of plucking must be performed just so or much of the attrac tion of the naked bird is lost. First thu turkey Is hung up by the fcot. An incision Is made in the roof of the mouth , and the feathers are plucked whllo ho bleeds. Care must bo taken not lo tear the skin , and the plucking process is supposed to bo com pleted before the bird is dead. Then the throat is cut to hasten death , after which the fowl is plunged Into water which is hcatod to nearly the boiling point. Before the lle.sh has had tirno to cool it is dnsbod into cold water , and then the fowl presents the fat Juicy appearance that makes it at tractive on the market. Kond for ICfilloctlon. After the repast of the day has been dis posed ol the religiously inclined will have abundant opportunity to attend to the more serious functions of the day. Most of the local churches have arranged services for either thu nf ternoon or evening , at which the program will bo especially adapted for Iho occasion. The Unitarian.

A lifeboat from the Humane society's station has nut oft to the scene in the hope of rescuing some of the vessel's crow if any remain above water. The lifeboat which put out to the scene has returned und reported having found a small boat bottom sldo up containing a coat ana hat.

The unknown vessel Is supposed to bo a coaster. The cause of the disaster is attributed to a squall which struck her , n a few moments before she scorned to suddenly careen to port and went down with a mighty swirl. XA-l. 1'AH.tllttAVUli. E. W.
